When Zuo Yi returned to the Gnome Tribe, the village was filled with cheers.
"Mr. Zuo!"
Cai Xiangming and his companions were crying tears of joy. "Shao Yong, Shao Yong is back!"
This morning, the Gnomes spread out to search for the other two missing travellers, and they actually found one.
Everyone thought that the two of them were dead. Even Zuo Yi thought that the chances of them surviving were not very high. The result gave everyone a big surprise!
However, Shao Yong's situation was a little bad. After being teleported in, he panicked and looked for his companions. Then, he accidentally fell into a stone pit and broke one of his legs. He fainted on the spot.
Because the pit was covered by a large number of plants and vines, the Gnomes did not discover it yesterday. After a long and torturous night, Shao Yong used all his strength to climb out of the pit by grabbing onto the vines.
Then, the Gnomes searching nearby heard his weak cries for help and rushed over to carry him into the village.
Shao Yong, who thought that he was going to be cooked in the Gnomes' cauldron, cried like a 200-pound child when he saw Cai Xiangming and the others.
Terrible!
Yesterday, when they saw the aperture door appear on the mountain path, they all thought that they had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They ignored the advice of others and rushed in. Now, they realized how stupid and ridiculous their actions were.
To be honest, the few of them were very lucky.
First of all, they were not teleported far away by the aperture door, so the Gnomes could find them easily. Second, Zuo Yi's rescue came quickly enough. Otherwise, not many of them would have survived.
Without Zuo Yi, the Gnomes might have cooked them as food!
Zuo Yi checked on Shao Yong's injuries.
Shao Yong's left leg was broken and bent at a strange angle. Because he did not get treatment in time, and because he twisted it when he climbed out of the pit, the wound was very swollen.
The injury was very serious.
"Bear with it."
Zuo Yi said to him, "Let me treat you."
"Thank you."
Shao Yong lay on a stretcher made of branches and expressed his gratitude weakly. His chubby face was still wet with tears.
Crack!
Zuo Yi's speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he had straightened the other party's broken leg.
Treating external injuries was one of the skills that Knights of the World of Sadia had to master. This was because, whether it was in daily training or in fierce battles, injuries were common occurrences. If one didn't master some healing methods, it would be embarrassing to go out and greet others.
For injuries like bone fractures, even if they were treated with the Saint Healing Technique, they would first have to set the bone in order to ensure the best treatment effect and avoid the situation where the treatment went awry.
Originally, as long as Zuo Yi used the [Saint Healing Technique], he could easily make Shao Yong stand up again, but under the suppression of the world's laws, he could only recover a little bit of his Dou Qi, and still couldn't use the power of light.
Therefore, Zuo Yi tied Shao Yong's injured leg and fed him half a bottle of healing potion. Although it couldn't heal him immediately, it greatly reduced his pain.
After treating Shao Yong, Zuo Yi said to Cai Xiangming, who was gathered next to him, "I've found the passage. I'll take you back now."
"Really?"
Cai Xiangming was immediately overjoyed.
He didn't sleep well last night, tossing and turning on his simple bed. He thought that the worst case scenario would be staying here for the rest of his life, unable to return to the Bluestar, never to see his parents and the room full of figurines again.
Now that he heard Zuo Yi say that he had found the passage back, he was really excited, as if he had escaped a great calamity!
The others couldn't help but cheer, "That's great!"
After everyone's excitement, a traveler hesitated and asked, "What about Meng Licheng?"
Meng Licheng was the only companion that they hadn't found yet.
Zuo Yi stretched out his hand to summon the old gnome priest and said, "We still haven't found one person. You guys continue to search. If you find him, I'll double the reward."
The old gnome priest bowed in fear and trepidation and replied, "As you wish!"
Zuo Yi nodded and took out three pieces of beef jerky from the space ring. He said, "I've already taken care of the mountain apes on that mountain. You guys can go to the fruit forest over there to collect fruits."
Since this gnome tribe had been subdued by Zuo Yi, of course, he had to give them some benefits.
He would definitely come back.
"What?"
The old gnome priest couldn't believe his ears. He asked with a trembling voice, "That mountain ape king …"
"I killed it too."
Zuo Yi said casually, "There are still some mountain apes left. They shouldn't be much of a threat to you guys."
The old gnome priest immediately knelt down. "My Lord, Gru swears to Mother Earth that I'll always be loyal to you. I'll never betray you!"
Gru was the name of the old gnome priest, and Mother Earth was the god that all gnomes in this world worshipped.
The old gnome priest had made the highest oath.
He offered his loyalty to Zuo Yi not only because of Zuo Yi's strength, but also because Zuo Yi had avenged his tribe.
Over the years, countless gnomes had died at the hands of the mountain apes. Although the people of his tribe never dared to approach the mountain apes' territory, they couldn't stop some mountain apes from coming over to cause trouble.
In order to avoid the attacks of the mountain apes, the gnome tribe had already moved several times.
"I'll remember your oath …"
Zuo Yi waved his hand and said, "As long as you don't break your oath, I won't mistreat you and your tribe."
The old gnome priest bowed his head and said, "My Lord."
Zuo Yi said, "Rise."
Compared to the gnome tribe, the Shika tribe was much stronger, but they weren't willing to submit.
This gnome tribe could be nurtured, but it would take a lot of effort to make them strong.
Zuo Yi didn't think too much about it for now. He took Cai Xiangming and the others to the place where the aperture gate was.
Cai Xiangming and the others were very concerned about Meng Licheng's whereabouts, but in the current situation, they wanted to return to Bluestar immediately. So when they heard Zuo Yi say that the gnomes would continue to search, they were temporarily relieved.
Because of Shao Yong's burden, it took more than two hours for everyone to find the aperture gate by the small lake.
During this time, Zuo Yi climbed a tree several times to observe the terrain, so that he didn't get lost in the dense forest.
When everyone saw the faintly glowing aperture, many of them shed tears of excitement.
They believed that this adventure would become a memory that they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
"Let's go!"
Zuo Yi was the first to step into the aperture.
The next moment, he was back on the mountain path of Mount Shennong.
PS: There was a bug in the previous chapter. When the power of light was sealed, it was impossible to use the [Holy Healing] skill. It was changed.
