"The army has a clear rule that we can only stand guard for three days at a time. Furthermore, we can't approach the river for at least three days after that. He actually stayed here for seven days. Does he have a death wish?" the officer said as he looked at Zhou Wen.
The soldier said with a bitter smile, "Liu Gui said that he has a tough life and isn't afraid of this. He was indeed fine in the beginning. He didn't have a rash like us after standing guard for four to five days. On the sixth day, he only had a tiny rash, but who knew that his rash would suddenly erupt today. His entire body is covered in it and it's festering. It wasn't that serious when I left …"
"Doctor Little Zhou, what do you think we should do?" the officer asked Zhou Wen.
"What else can we do? Quickly send him back to the medical team." Just as Zhou Wen was about to say that, he saw the soldier's body tremble. He could see the rashes rapidly rotting outside his clothes. His face and hands were festering everywhere.
It was unknown if he had been jolted awake by the pain, but the soldier reached out to grab his face. With one hand, his skin was torn, leaving a few bloody grooves on his face. His cheekbones could be seen, making him look extremely terrifying.
However, the soldier didn't care. He continued grabbing at his face with all his might. His face was in tatters, but he refused to stop. He continued grabbing at his face with all his might.
"Hold him down!" The officer immediately gave the order. The soldiers hurriedly pounced forward and held his hands down, preventing him from grabbing his face again.
It was unknown if Liu Gui had really woken up. He didn't say a word as he struggled with all his might, hoping to grab his face.
"Liu Gui, do you have a death wish …" the officer berated him loudly, but Liu Gui didn't seem to hear him at all. All he did was struggle with all his might. His feet were kicking and rubbing against the ground. After his socks were kicked off, he realized that his feet were covered in festering rashes.
Suddenly, Liu Gui's body stopped struggling, but blood seeped out of his mouth. He looked like he was on the verge of death.
"Doctor Little Zhou, what do we do? Quickly save Old Liu. "A soldier who was on good terms with Liu Gui was on the verge of tears.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, I'm not a real doctor. How would I know what to do?
He wanted to send him to the medical team, but from the looks of it, it was probably too late. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that the rashes might be a form of poison. Perhaps Doctor Darkness's Fight Poison With Poison would work.
At this point, Zhou Wen could only try his best. He would rather let the soldier die at his hands than watch him die.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen summoned Doctor Darkness in his companion form and used Fight Poison With Poison. A syringe appeared in his hand.
"Hold him down and don't let him move," Zhou Wen said to the soldiers.
After all, he was not a real doctor. Injections were not his forte. Fortunately, if it was just an intravenous injection, he could still complete it.
A few soldiers held Liu Gui down tightly as Zhou Wen stabbed the needle in and pushed the syringe slightly, injecting a bit of poison into Liu Gui's body. Then, he stopped to see his reaction.
Doctor Darkness's poison was very potent. Not long after it was injected, there was a reaction. The blood that flowed out of Liu Gui's mouth clearly decreased, but Zhou Wen didn't know if it was because he was almost dead or if Fight Poison With Poison was working.
After waiting for a while, the festering rash on Liu Gui's body stopped festering, and Liu Gui's body was no longer trembling as much.
Seeing that the poison was effective, Zhou Wen injected a little more, causing Liu Gui's body to tremble even more. However, the rash on his body was fading.
Zhou Wen knew that it was really effective. It was normal for Liu Gui's body to tremble. He didn't know what poison Doctor Darkness had used, but it was extremely painful after it was injected into his body. Zhou Wen had experienced it in the past, and it wasn't something ordinary people could endure.
However, this also meant that Liu Gui's body was improving. He could no longer feel the pain.
Zhou Wen didn't dare inject too much poison. Seeing that he was improving, he put away the syringe and used Doctor Darkness's Light of Penetration to look inside Liu Gui's body. He didn't discover any problems, nor did he know what the source of the rash was.
"Ah! It hurts! "Liu Gui widened his eyes as he screamed out in pain. His body struggled even more.
"Doctor Little Zhou, what's going on?" The officer and the soldiers looked at Zhou Wen, unsure of what was happening.
"His condition is much better. His life should be saved, but there's no way to carry out any follow-up treatment here. Quickly send him to the medical team," Zhou Wen said.
The officer hurriedly summoned a bull-shaped Companion Beast and carried Liu Gui onto it, bringing him back to the encampment.
"Doctor Little Zhou, do you want to go back with us?" the officer asked Zhou Wen.
"I still have something to do. I still need to take a look by the river. Go ahead." Zhou Wen didn't know any medical skills, so it was useless even if he followed. However, since Fight Poison With Poison had worked, Liu Gui's life was likely saved. How much he could recover depended on the real doctors.
The officer was in a hurry to take Liu Gui back, so he didn't say anything else and rushed back to the encampment.
Zhou Wen continued walking in the direction of Chess Mountain, hoping to find the tiny palm symbol. He didn't dare get too close to Chess Mountain's entrance. The place was extremely unstable and dimensional creatures could rush out at any moment. All he could do was search nearby.
However, there were no stone slabs on this side of the river, nor were there any human buildings. There was no tiny palm symbol. As he got closer and closer to Chess Mountain, he could see the rocks at the mountain pass clearly.
The rocks of Chess Mountain were very unique. Most of them were black, but there were some rock layers that were white. The contrast was obvious, as though white lines had been drawn on a black cloth.
The blood-colored river slowly flowed out of the mountain pass. If the color was darker and dimmer, it would really look like blood.
There's no tiny palm symbol? Zhou Wen was somewhat disappointed. He looked in the direction of Chess Mountain and didn't dare proceed any further. There was already a warning sign in front of him, indicating that it would be very dangerous to proceed any further.
Zhou Wen held the mysterious phone and used the camera function to scan his surroundings. The phone didn't vibrate. He didn't know if there was really no tiny palm symbol or if he wasn't close enough for the mysterious phone to not sense it.
Let's walk a little further. If there's nothing on the mountain pass, I'll go back. Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before deciding to walk forward to see if there was anything on the mountain pass.
With his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter a Mythical creature, he shouldn't be in too much danger.
However, Zhou Wen was still careful, not daring to be careless. Strength wasn't absolute, and he wasn't omnipotent. If he encountered a dimensional creature he couldn't restrain, even if it was at the same level or lower than him, it could still claim his life.
