Xia drank a little water and gasped for a while. During this period, Dodoro briefly talked about what happened after Xia fell into a coma.
Xia Ya desperately killed the giant scorpion with a dragon thorn—a bit of luck in the process, because if Azuo's mount lizard didn't suddenly appear, attracting the giant scorpion's attention, then Xia Ya would have no chance at all.
Then, after Xia fell into a coma, not long after that, among the few people, the first to recover was Dotara.
As for Sharba and the mercenary, they have been in a coma since the "spirit storm" of the giant scorpion, and have never woken up until now.
After waking up for the first time, poor Dodoro was terrified: his own skills were too rubbish, and in such a dangerous place, if he was alone, the possibility of going out safely was almost zero.
-Perhaps it is this reason that makes the always timid and cowardly magician run away immediately after waking up - this kind of place, even if he wants to run, he can't escape.
"You mean, they've been in a coma." Xia turned over, then endured the pain, untied the bandaged part of the wound on his leg, reapplied some of the wound medicine left by the Zaku natives, and bandaged it with his own hands For a moment - his technique is naturally much more sophisticated than Dodoro.
Then Xia Ya endured the pain that almost made him faint, and checked the place where the rib was broken - this process almost made him unable to hold on, he endured the terrible pain, and straightened the broken bone that was in a crooked position. - After straightening, the pain after breathing really eased a lot. Xia Ya was at least a little relieved: it seemed that the broken bone hadn't been poked into his lungs.
Duoduo was still talking about how panicked and worried he was. After listening for a while, Xiaya finally became impatient: "Using your magic fact, don't you have a healing technique?"
Duo Duo Luo's face immediately turned ugly, but when he saw Xi Ya's face sinking, Duo Duo Luo hurriedly shouted: "Master, it's not that I am stingy in using life spells, nor is it that I am reluctant to spend life force... It's just, the last experience. As you can see, I can't control which magic I cast at all, it's purely a matter of chance... Just like last time, I wanted to use only life damage magic on the giant tooth spider, and it was released. Magic is life healing..."
After a pause, Dodoro raised his eyelids and said pitifully: "So, I don't dare to use the life healing technique for you... In case what I release is not a healing technique, but a life deprivation technique... Then you are injured now. In a weak state, what if I accidentally kill you all?"
When he said this, Xiaya had no choice - he admitted that what Dodoro said was the truth.
He didn't want to, he didn't die under the mighty Giant Fang, didn't die under the vicious Giant Scorpion, but died under this cowardly and incompetent waste magician!
After resting for a while, Xiaya looked at Sharba who was still lying there: "But why didn't they wake up... It stands to reason that Sharba's body is much stronger than yours."
"This... I don't know either." Dodo Luo also looked blank: "I woke up a few hours earlier than you. But according to my guess, we have passed out for at least two days."
"Two days? How do you know that for sure."
"I... After all, I'm a magician, and I've also done some experiments on living creatures. I judged based on the degree of decay of these corpses." Speaking of which, Dotolo smiled bitterly with embarrassment: "There is one more important point. Yeah, that's it... I woke up and found myself starving and exhausted... Apparently I was in a coma for a very long time, because the first time I tried to get up after waking up, my legs were so soft that I almost dropped my front teeth. "
There is still some food. Charya ate a little something and drank a little water under the service of Dodoro, and gradually regained some strength, but this time, the injury on his thigh was really serious, and he couldn't stand up at all. If it weren't for the Zaku natives' wound medicines being very effective, in this harsh environment, just the decay and infection of the wounds would be enough to kill people.
But even so, judging from Xia Ya's experience, the injury to his leg won't take a month to recover this time.
His left thigh was directly pierced in two places. Fortunately, no bones were injured, but he lost a lot of blood, making his body very weak.
After confirming that his life was not in danger for the time being, Xiaya climbed to Sharba's side and carefully inspected Sharba and the mercenary - there were indeed no obvious scars on the two of them. In fact, they fought against the giant scorpion. It was all done by Xia alone, Sharba and the others were quickly overwhelmed by the giant scorpion's spiritual attack "Psychic Storm" and passed out.
but…
"Why didn't they wake up..."
When Xia Ya was thinking about this question with a frown, the familiar voice in his mind made him scream in surprise.
"idiot!"
"Dora!" Xia Ya didn't care that Dodo Luo was next to him, and he shouted happily: "Great, tell me quickly, what happened to my people?"
Dora's voice was very annoyed, but because Xiaya's spirit was too weak, Dora's voice didn't sound very clear, and it was vague and weak.
"You are an idiot, a brainless idiot! What did I tell you! I told you to run away from the beginning! You are so ignorant, but you are still rushing towards this thing! You are simply courting death! If It's not your good luck that makes me jealous, this thing can kill you at least ten times!"
Xia Ya snorted: "I don't want to quarrel with you... Anyway, am I still alive now! Tell me what happened to my companion."
"Psychic storm! Don't you understand what it means! This is an attack similar to spiritual magic, which triggers all the negative emotions in the opponent's spiritual consciousness, completely detonates the spiritual power in the mind and makes it chaotic! To recover, it takes a process. Only people with strong spiritual consciousness can recover faster.”
Oh
Xia Ya was stunned for a moment.
People with strong spiritual consciousness can recover faster
But... this guy Dodo Luo was the first to recover? !
This guy is obviously a cowardly, timid and wretched person, but he has recovered faster than Sharba
"Hmph... Although this servant magician of yours looks timid, his will in his heart is much firmer than others." Dora snorted angrily.
... Uh, this seems to make sense, at least, when Dodoro said "Master, I'm a magician." in that almost religious tone, Xia Ya was also moved by it.
"The other two guys can only wake up slowly on their own, but I don't know how long it will take. Maybe soon, maybe they won't wake up in a month."
This answer made Char very frustrated.
But Todoro seemed to be stunned by the side - the poor magician watched Char sitting there, talking to himself, as if talking to himself.
Could it be... my lord, is he crazy
※※※
Leaning on a tree stick, Xia Ya ran to the corpse of the giant scorpion, looking at the dead monster...
At the moment of close observation, this thing looks more and more ugly, especially the torso that looks like a human being, but it seems that because it has not fully evolved...
It looked more like a monkey than a human being.
"What the hell is this?" Xia shook her head.
In her mind, Dora's voice was a bit gloomy: "Do you remember what was written in that diary... Mental attack!"
Xia Ya's face changed, and Huo Ran stared at the corpse: "What you said... It can't be... This thing can't be made by ancient goblins... "
"Of course not!" Dora snorted: "Although this thing is very powerful, how can something that a race has devoted its efforts to create for more than 400 years have so little ability, and you can kill it so easily. But... This thing, I believe it has something to do with what the goblin made!"
Xia agreed with Dora's guess.
This is indeed a bit too coincidental.
The group of ancient goblins under the mountain stream had no scars, as if they all died from mental attacks. And the "gods" created by ancient goblins are said to have powerful spiritual attack power. Even more coincidentally, in the valley, I encountered such a monster that can attack mentally.
If this is just a coincidence, it would be too much to say.
Xiaya stabbed the corpse with a tree stick, and in the hole that the giant scorpion blasted out, you could see lumps of disgusting viscera-like things flowing out. The stench made Xiaya frown and cover her nose.
"Xia Ya, I suddenly remembered a detail in that diary, I wonder if you noticed it."
In her mind, Dora's voice was a little hesitant.
"Details? What details?"
Xiaya took back the stick and walked back to the big tree to sit down.
"Do you still remember... in the diary, the ancient goblin scholar, the goblin scholar named Sark who participated in the research team in the first district, said something to the goblin writer, General Curriet? About Reveals some of the characteristics of what that goblin made..."
Xia Ya's heart moved: "I remember that part..."
"Some of the words they mentioned were: evil, imperfect, ugly..."
Xiaya immediately said: "I don't understand... Evil, can this thing be considered evil? As for ugliness, you know, goblins' aesthetic standards have always been different from other races."
Dora's voice was disdainful: "Bah! You're too embarrassed to criticize other people's 'aesthetic standards'... idiot! I mean 'imperfect'! Imperfection - that's the detail that I'm talking about!"
"...I still don't understand what you mean by 'imperfect'." Char asked frankly.
"God." Dora seemed to be groaning: "If I had a body now, I would be so angry that I would trample you to death."
"It's a pity you didn't have this chance." Xia Ya retorted unceremoniously.
"..." Dora seemed to be speechless by this sentence for a long time, and finally began to explain slowly: "First of all, no matter the religion of any clan, humans, elves, dwarves, and even our dragons, All gods, these great beings, they all have a common feature, which is perfection. And this 'perfect' image is more from the sense of holiness and nobility of the gods. You know that these senses of holiness and nobility are Where did it come from?"
"...I don't know. I never believe this, and naturally I won't study this kind of thing." Xia Ya quickly shook his head.
"Desire, greedy desire." Dora's tone gradually became solemn: "A creature of any race, even the elves of the race that is considered the most noble and elegant, creatures of all races have their own desires... As an 'ordinary' creature, we all have our needs, our desires, and our natural greed. There are emotions, love, hatred, demands, and greed... We have all emotions, the biggest one That is: greed. Greed comes from desire, and as a living being, desire is nothing more than divided into two parts, one is survival, but reproduction!
As higher creatures, we are not like those ordinary beasts. We have sublimated the desires of these two parts. The desire to survive is not only satisfied with living, but has increased the needs of more enjoyment, food, clothing, housing, and power. Desires, etc... These can actually be attributed to the desire to survive, but for us higher creatures, this desire is not limited to 'how to survive', but has become 'how to survive better'.
As for reproduction... I don't think it's difficult for you to understand, that is... mating! Breed offspring to keep the race alive.
It can be said that desire is the commonality of all living things, and it is also our universality.
However, God, the reason why the gods are higher than us, has a great quality: they are holy and noble, because of one important reason: they have no desire! !
Because they have no desires and no desires, they appear more sacred and noble to ordinary creatures in the world.
God does not need food, God is not greedy for wealth, God does not need fancy clothes, God does not need to hold power...
More importantly... Gods do not need to reproduce! Because of God, every God is eternal existence!
So they do not need to reproduce offspring, and there is no desire to reproduce.
This creates their sense of 'cleanliness and purity', not just materially cleanliness, but also spiritual cleanliness.
So, they are 'perfect'.
So, let's deduce it in reverse.
The so-called perfection means no desire and no need.
So what about 'imperfect'? Is it the same as 'having a desire' and 'having a need'? "
Have a desire, a need
Xia Ya thought for a while, and suddenly blurted out, "What do you mean..."
"Don't you understand? According to this inference, the thing made by this ancient goblin is 'imperfect', that is to say, it needs to eat, needs to enjoy the body to survive... Even, it may need... Breed!! Mating, multiplying offspring!!"
Xia Ya couldn't help but glanced at the giant scorpion, and suddenly shivered: "You mean, this damn thing may be..."
"Possibly 'offspring'."
