The golden sunlight shone down.
Between the green grass, an earthy yellow road meandered into the distance.
On the road, three black carriages slowly drove into the distance.
Garon sat in the carriage, quietly looking out the window.
On the distant mountain on the left, there stood a continuous gray fortress. The fortress's jagged walls surrounded it, some of the walls had already been smashed open. It was silent.
A few giant black bats were circling above the fortress, and one of them had just flown out from inside the fortress.
The air was filled with the smell of burning.
Garon took out his pocket watch and looked at the time: 3: 24.
"Let's take a break, we've been on the road for the whole morning." He said lightly.
His voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for the other two carriages to hear.
He sat in the middle of the carriage, and Roland sat across from him.
In the front carriage sat Angel and the Wild Hunting Group. At the back were Lala and some food items that needed to be taken away.
The three carriages suddenly stopped at the same time. The three mutated black horses stopped naturally without anyone's command.
Garon pulled open the carriage and got off. He raised his eyes and looked around.
The surroundings were all green grass, and there were two rows of welcoming flower beds by the roadside. There were red and yellow flowers blooming in them, unusually bright. The breeze blew these little flowers and made them sway slightly.
He looked along the grass, and the green grass stretched all the way to the fortress at the top of the mountain in the distance. There were a few withered yellow weeping willows in the middle of the green.
Garon looked up at the fortress, frowning slightly.
"This is a private fortress near Iron Tank City, we haven't gone out of Iron Tank City's jurisdiction yet." Reylan walked down from the carriage behind Garon, his voice low. "It'll take at least a day to get out of the jurisdiction, at our speed."
"Looks like that fortress has already been conquered." Garon guessed.
"Definitely, the ones circling in the air there are scavenger bats. These bats come out during the day and rest at night. They're different from normal bats, they only eat rotten corpses." "Scavenger Bats only appear in places where there's no danger. They're very timid. Be it monsters or humans, they're all targets that they need to avoid."
She took out a small notebook and began to record something in detail. Only the rustling of the pen on the paper could be heard.
Garon nodded, indicating that he understood.
"How much food and water do we have left?"
"I'll call Lala out. I can only ask her about this. "Lei Lan frowned and walked towards the third carriage.
She quickly boarded the third carriage, but she did not hear any sound of reprimanding Lala.
"Brother, come and take a look. Lala seems to be seriously ill. "Reylan's voice came from the carriage.
Garon glanced at the members of the Hunting Group who had just alighted from the carriage and waved his hand to signal them to rest. He strode towards the third carriage and stepped onto it through the open door.
The interior of the carriage was cold and damp, and there were all kinds of miscellaneous buckets piled up in the dark interior of the carriage. The yellow wooden buckets were wrapped in iron sheets to form a cross. Lala leaned against one of the wooden buckets, her face flushed red and she was panting.
"Cough cough … Cough cough …" Lala coughed hard, and the sound of phlegm could be heard from her throat. She clutched her chest, as if she could not breathe. She sat on the ground weakly.
She was only wearing a grey summer dress, and no stockings.
Garon glanced at Lala's body, squatted down and gently grabbed the fabric on the right shoulder of the dress, and gently pulled out a black spot.
"I … feel … I can't breathe …" Lala said with difficulty. Seeing Garon was like seeing a savior, and her eyes shone brightly.
Garon sighed, and his right hand gently pressed on Lala's chest.
"Brother!" Reylan's dissatisfied voice came from the side, and she blocked Garon's hand. "She's just a servant, if she dies then she dies, but be careful not to infect you too."
Garon glanced at her, and Reylan's pale yellow eyes flashed with jealousy and dissatisfaction. She slightly avoided his gaze, and instead stared at Lala fiercely.
"She's suffering from acute asthma now, I didn't think it through, living in an unventilated environment for a long time, and there are a lot of bacteria and other microorganisms. She's just a normal person, it's already good that she's able to hold on until now. "
"Let her die, we don't have any medicine for asthma." Reylan's eyes flashed. "I'll take care of these resources for you."
"You can leave now." Garon said lightly. "Be good."
Reylan glared at Lala unwillingly, and then got down from the carriage.
Garon turned back, and his right palm hovered in front of Lala's chest. His five fingers quickly expanded, and were like five thick black metal rods.
Pak pak pak …
His fingers quickly tapped on Lala's lungs.
"I don't know the specific treatment method, so I can only temporarily alleviate your condition. Also, it's not confirmed that it's asthma. "He looked at Lala, who was getting more and more relaxed with his fingertips, and said softly.
Her soft chest kept changing into different shapes under Garon's hands.
Just as Lala was relieved, she felt the strange feeling in front of her chest, and her face turned red again. She tilted her head, not knowing how to answer.
Garon, on the other hand, was not distracted, and after quickly alleviating the problem of the obstructed blood flow in her lungs, he finally increased the strength of his palm.
Wah!
Lala suddenly leaned forward, and spat out a mouthful of black phlegm.
The black phlegm was about to land on Garon's body, but with a flick of his finger, it shot out of the carriage with a gust of wind, and landed on the grass far away.
Garon stood up, and his heart sank slightly.
"At this time, in this environment, once you're sick, it's hard to find medicine. Now, I can only let you take some anti-inflammatory medicine and cough medicine. You'll have to take care of everything yourself. "
Lala nodded. "It's okay, I'll get better soon." She smiled at Garon, telling him not to worry.
Garon, however, frowned. "I found cockroach excrement on your clothes. You'd better not stay here anymore. Let's change to another carriage. "
Lala nodded, she had also noticed this reason.
Garon shook his head, got off the carriage, and met Reylan who had a gloomy face.
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't have agreed to come with her." Reylan said in a low voice. "That girl is a burden, she doesn't do anything, and now she's sick, she can't even do the trivial things! What use do we have for her? "
"You're a little extreme, Reylan." Garon frowned. "Her family died in the last war, and now she has no family, so she can only follow us."
"So what?" Reylan looked at the carriage with jealousy. "Brother, don't tell me you want to sleep with that bitch? Isn't she just a little prettier, and has better skin!? Do you still want to enjoy yourself in this kind of environment? If it was peacetime, I could catch as many as you want! But it's different now! "
Garon looked at her face, and knew that she was getting more and more jealous of Lala. She herself was disfigured, but she was jealous of other women with perfect looks.
"I once promised her that she would serve me, and in exchange, she would be safe. Now I haven't fulfilled my promise. " He said in a low voice, "Alright, Reylan, I know you're in a bad mood, but don't take it out on others!"
Reylan didn't say much, but her face became gloomier, and she turned to leave without a word.
Garon rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Looking at the sun above his head, the golden sunlight was bright, but there wasn't much warmth.
Compared to Lala, Reylan was much more important, and she was still teaching him all kinds of basic knowledge about the Derivator. Now he had no choice but to rely on her. So Garon didn't want to anger her too much.
But this kind of twisted worldview and values could cause a lot of trouble for the team.
Over at the hunting group, Angel walked over with a puzzled look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Lala is sick, it's most likely acute asthma." Garon answered helplessly, "She's the only normal person among us, and her body condition isn't very good, and she was injured before. It's good that she's only sick now. "
"Then what do we do?" Angel frowned. She also had a good impression of Lala, the loyal maid. "I still have some Tavinil here, you can give it to her, it should relieve some of her symptoms."
"Alright."
Garon gave the medicine to Lala, and after taking it, she did relieve some of her symptoms in a short while. This medicine mainly had the effect of suppressing coughs.
Garon didn't think too much about it. He was busy letting the Petrifying White Dragon in front lead the way, and the Dual Headed Salamander carrying two Petrifying Giant Lizards behind them, while the Deep Swamp Croc and Resonance Eagle were stationed far away on both sides. They brought a large number of beetles, and chased away any strong monsters that might appear around them, only letting in some of the weaker ones for Angel and the others to practice on.
His potential points kept increasing, but the speed was very slow, far from when he was in Iron Tank City.
They didn't meet any strong characters in the wild.
After that, they advanced for more than a day, all the way until they reached the border of Iron Tank City. They only met Form 1 monsters, and very few Form 2 monsters. There was no need to chase them away, so Garon simply let his subordinates ignore them and let them in.
His current potential points had already accumulated to an unprecedented 125 points. He had been saving them since he was in Iron Tank City.
He was prepared to save more points in one go, and focus on the Black-striped White Tiger's evolution.
*****
The faint white light of dawn shone in through the gaps in the curtains.
Garon slowly woke up from his sleep, and rubbed his sore neck. He opened his eyes, and saw Reylan sleeping soundly on her side.
It was quiet outside, and he could occasionally hear the snorting of the mutated horses.
Sitting up straight on the cushion, Garon pulled the blanket off his body, and put on his leather boots. He removed a piece of wood from the wall of the carriage on their right, and put it down. He propped up two wooden sticks underneath, and made a simple table.
Picking up the vegetables and beef jerky that he didn't finish last night, Garon poured two big glasses of water from the water bottle on the table, and threw in the vegetables and meat jerky.
Then he held a glass in each hand, and his palms glowed with the color of red jade.
After more than a minute, the spacious carriage was suddenly filled with the fragrance of the dried meat and vegetables.
"Brother?" Reylan woke up from her sleep, and looked at Garon in a daze. Across the table, she instantly saw the two big glasses on the table.
White steam floated out from the mouth of the glasses, and there was a faint fragrance in it.
