Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 144: The poisonous shaman sacrifices the wounded

Views:

Those who can be locked in a wooden cage are all high-level extraordinary ones.

In addition to Uncle Sam, there was also a noble from Sid and two from Omar, and the last one was the leader of a large hunting group.

Without exception, they are all fifth-level "prisoners of war".

The prisoners had no food except a little soup.

They all carry [Forbidden Magic Stone Locks], unable to escape or die, so they are waiting to be sacrificed to the "God Morogos" who is a barbaric believer.

Among the seventy-two divine generals, the twenty-first ranked divine general is the legendary "God of Mountain Power".

Ren finally understood why Udo asked the barbarian to take care of him before leaving.

Because these new "prisoners of war" will be cared for, spit on, and thrown stones by the old, young, women and children who lost their relatives in the war...

Although I can't die, it's just painful.

Renn was saved from a beating because he was protected by the little kid named "Otu"; and Tust and Carl, one old and one young, and those barbarian women and children were not very aggressive and beat them. Not many.

The one with the worst ending was naturally a certain legend. He was concentrated firepower and had his head covered with stones.

Fortunately, werewolves have rough skin and thick flesh, so even with the [Forbidden Magic Lock], this injury is not a problem.

... ...

Watching Bazel baring his teeth fiercely at the barbarians who were throwing stones,

Uncle Sam next door seemed to be a stranger and sighed slightly, "Hey... Senior Bazel, it's useless. The more aggressive they are, the more angry they will be aroused. After a while, they will even stuff it with monster feces." your mouth... "

When Bazel heard this, it seemed as if some unpleasant memories were stirred up again, his face suddenly changed, and he no longer grinned. He turned his back and let the stones hit his back.

Ren looked at the sturdy wooden cage and sighed.

If only he could survive in the end, he always felt heavy in his heart. The few people around him, Uncle Sam, Bazel, Tust and his grandson... are all the few people he knows in this world who can be called friends.

The kindness he showed in saving Udo was only enough for him to survive, so he also thought about how he could think of a way to keep everyone alive.

After thinking hard to no avail, suddenly,

Karl on the side shouted anxiously: "Brother Ren, my grandfather is dying! Can you think of a way..."

Ren looked over and frowned. Although he still had some emergency medicine in the folding space, he couldn't inject it into the old man now.

At this moment, Wu Duo happened to be walking towards the wooden cage.

Udo asked the guarding barbarians to open Ren's cage, as if to let him out.

At this time, Renne quickly said: "High Priest Udo, although we are prisoners, you saw that he was a dying old man and a patient... "

Before he finished speaking, Udo glanced at Tust and said coldly: "He was poisoned. It's called 'mandolin flesh-paralyzing toxin' in our Coleman tribe. The poison swallowed up his body." Flesh and blood, living is also suffering..."

It is understandable that the "muscular dystrophy" caused by toxins is regarded as devouring flesh and blood in the understanding of primitive civilizations like the Coleman people.

But what surprised Ren was that Udo actually said the name of this toxin!

Mandoline flesh-paralyzing toxin

Since they know the name, it means that they are likely to have research on this toxin.

A flash of joy flashed through Ren's mind, and he quickly asked: "Do you Coleman clan have a way to deal with this toxin?"

What he didn't expect was that Wu Duo nodded and said casually: "Yes."

It doesn’t seem like this is a difficult toxin to deal with.

But she seemed to have guessed what Ren wanted to say, and poured cold water on it in advance: "The 'Witch Doctor' in the poison clan can detoxify it. But don't be delusional, we will never detoxify an invader." .”

Ren also knew that if he tried to force himself again, the remaining goodwill of Udo might be wiped out;

He could only make a last attempt and said: "You know, I am a doctor and I don't want to see an old patient die like this. Even if the poison is not detoxified, can I give the old man an injection?" The potion will at least keep him alive for the time being. No need to waste your herbs, I have the finished product in my storage ring."

Wu Duo thought for a while, with a slightly embarrassed look in his eyes, but he agreed.

Turning around, she said again: "You come with me, the teacher wants to see you. I told him about you saving me. As long as you don't offend, he should forgive you."

After saying that, Udo added: "This is the maximum I can help you. After today, I won't owe you any favors."

Ren's face was calm and he nodded, "Thank you."

Isn't Udo's teacher the mysterious "Great Witch Sacrifice" Mafa, the supreme leader of Coleman

... ...

The wooden cell was opened.

The rope on Ren's body was also removed, and he followed Udo all the way through the barbarian tribe, heading towards the largest building in the tribe, which was also the bamboo building decorated with beautiful bird feathers on the top.

Along the way, countless barbarians cast curious glances at him.

Because they also heard that there was a guy among the "invaders" who could speak their Coleman language. Now, the Mafa Great Witch Sacrifice still wants to see him.

Not long after, the wooden building appeared in front of us.

Renn clearly saw several large snakes as thick as water tanks kept under the stilt-style hut.

When he followed Wu Duo onto the bamboo building, the breath of strangers made the eyes of the big snakes light up, as if they had seen food and swam over.

Ren's eyelids jumped as he watched, and he quickly followed Udo.

Various dried herbs were hung everywhere outside the bamboo building, and a strong medicinal fragrance assaulted your nostrils. He was a pharmacist himself and was very sensitive to these smells.

But in pharmacy, these medicinal materials are usually ground into powder form, or extracted into liquid form, and are rarely stored together with the roots and stems.

Although I was curious, I didn’t stay much longer.

Because he heard some rustling sounds again, coming from some corners of the bamboo building.

Obviously, in addition to the big snakes underground, there are many strange "living creatures" in the bamboo house.

Not long after,

Udo led Ren into the largest room in the bamboo building, and she said to the old man who was leaning on the desk, writing and drawing on the animal skin: "Teacher, I brought him here. "

Ren's eyes fell over.

Mafa, the "Great Witch Festival", is a gray-haired old man. He doesn't look like the "elder" he saw before. His aura makes everything around him eclipse.

He's more like a regular old man.

This made Ren feel like he saw Master Cavo in the library for the first time, and it was the same state of returning to nature.

At the first glance, he knew that this was a very powerful person.

The wrinkles on Mafa's face are deep, showing the traces of time. He was old and looked like a mummy crawling out of a grave. He wore a headdress made of white cow skulls on his head, and the totem color on his skin was dulled by the dark skin background like bacon.

After thinking about it for a while, Ren took the initiative to say hello, performed a universal salute, and said: "Dragon Hermes, a doctor from a distant country, met the respected Great Witch Priest of the Coleman Tribe. "

The Great Witch Festival was much kinder than expected.

He was still writing and drawing, without looking up, and responded with that old and hoarse voice: "I heard from Little Udo that 'doctor' is the name for the 'witch doctor' profession in your civilization. That's right. A group of you who are kind and neutral.”

When Ren came here, he knew that although Udo looked indifferent, he had said a lot of good things to him.

He immediately responded: "It is the duty of doctors to save lives and heal the wounded. Indeed, as you said, doctors are a relatively neutral profession."

At this time, the great wizard seemed to have finished writing and looked up at Ren.

The moment their eyes met, Renn felt as if he had been "pierced".

Those are such a pair of wise eyes, as if all the conspiracies in the world are hidden under these eyes.

Ren was slightly startled, but immediately returned to normal. I didn’t do anything wrong, and there was nothing I didn’t dare to look at.

But you can imagine that if someone was standing here with ulterior motives and was stared at by that look just now, there would probably be a big problem.

... ... .

"I heard from Udo that you have a great talent for languages. Now that I see you, it's true."

The Great Witch Festival said, paused, and then said: "It's rare to have an enemy who can communicate with me. Can you answer a few questions from me?"

Renn: "Please tell me."

Great Witch Sacrifice: "We, the Coleman clan, have been guarding this forest for a long time and have no dispute with the world. Why does your civilization want to massacre my people?"

Renn responded: "For an energy fuel, coal. The operation of our steel castle requires the consumption of a large amount of coal resources. And someone discovered a rich coal seam in this forest."

"Is this it?"

At this time, the great witch priest picked up a piece of high-burning coal that looked like a black diamond on the table.

Renn nodded: "Yes, the piece of coal in your hand is a 'high-burning coal' with a higher value."

Mafa sighed again: "This thing is of little use to us except that it can replace wood for fire. It is everywhere in the forest... Do you think you are doing this, right?"

Ren felt that now he should cater to the old man and say "no".

But obviously, he knew that this was not what the other party wanted to hear.

Moreover, resource plundering, although bloody and cruel, is almost inevitable among different civilizations. From a certain perspective, the reasons for launching countless wars in Rennes' previous life were actually for the redistribution of resources.

This is not a question of right or wrong;

It's human nature.

Thinking of this, Ren said: "Powerful beings have the instinct to conquer the weak. The law of the jungle is not only the law in the forest, but also the law among civilizations. Dear Lord, I have no sympathy for the nobles. No disrespect. Personally, I would rather establish friendship with the Coleman tribe. But I’m sorry, the war between the two tribes is not something a little person like me can control.”

After hearing this, the old man's expression remained unchanged.

This wise old man has already seen through everything.

This is not just a war for resources, but also a conquest of the powerful against the weak.

The invaders were interested not only in the coal mines, but also in all the resources in the forest, including humans of the Coleman tribe.

Unless the Coleman family is willing to be slaves and dedicate everything, they will never satisfy the appetite of the invading party.

This war, from the beginning, was destined to end with a complete compromise by one side.

"..."

The Great Witch of Mafa asked a few questions that were not very important, and Ren answered them all.

Finally, it comes to the final question.

"We, the Coleman clan, are a grateful clan. Since you have saved Little Udo, in return, we will let you leave the forest alive."

Having said this, the great witch priest looked at Wu Duo beside him and said, "Little Wu Duo helped you beg for mercy. She said that you and your partners are kind people... But you should understand that those The ghosts of the Colemans who died innocently need blood to comfort them. Unfortunately, you can't take your friends away... "

Ren listened and felt a thump in his heart.

Although the old man's words were calm, they gave people a sense of determination without any room for maneuver. This completely eliminated the opportunity for him to speak out the words he had prepared before.

"I... "

Ren wanted to say something else, but the old man seemed to ignore his thoughts and said: "Udo, take him out. Let the soldiers escort him out of the forest..."

Udo: "Okay, teacher.

Ren's eyes trembled, unable to conceal his anxiety.

He knew very well that this was his only chance to see the Great Witch Festival. If he didn't seize it, Karl and the others would be dead!

And just when he was thinking about what conditions he should put forward to impress the great wizard...

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the tribe!

It seemed like a large group of people were rushing towards the bamboo building.

Listening to the footsteps, Mafa and Udo in the room frowned at the same time. Obviously, these rapid footsteps would definitely be good news!

Sure enough.

But a few breaths later, someone appeared at the door and shouted anxiously: "Master Wuji, it's not good, the 'High Priest Hela' is injured! Not long ago, those damn invaders attacked the Fengshan Tribe ', the priest was seriously injured in order to protect his tribe, and the witch doctors were helpless. Please save him..."

As soon as this person reported it, the door was full of people.

Now the war between the two tribes is in full swing. It is normal for the outer tribes to be attacked. Casualties occur almost every day.

Renn took a closer look and saw a group of people carrying a female high priest covered in blood appearing in front of the attic door.

The great witch Mafa is not only the leader of the Coleman tribe, but also the most powerful witch doctor in the tribe.

When he heard this, he walked up to the wounded man with a serious face.

Udo had no time to pay attention to Ren, and surrounded him with an anxious expression.

... ...

The barbarians were all very tall, and when they were gathered together, it was like a row of "black bamboo forests" had appeared in front of Ren's eyes.

Looking through a pair of long dark legs, Ren saw a female barbarian with an arrow stuck in her left eye, lying on a wooden stretcher.

The great witch Mafa checked her injuries, and Ren also saw clearly that the arrow had pierced the head and exposed a large section of the back of the head.

With this kind of penetrating injury, you are lucky to be alive. The reason why he has been able to survive until now is entirely because those "witch doctors" used healing spells to forcibly maintain his vital signs.

But if you don't deal with it, you will die sooner or later.

Moreover, Ren's sharp eyes also saw that the arrow was no ordinary, it was a very vicious "Broken Alchemy Centipede Arrow".

In addition to the arrowhead, there are centipede-like barbs on the arrow shaft. Once the arrow penetrates, no matter which direction it is pulled out, a large mass of flesh and blood will be brought out.

Now that it has penetrated the brain, it needs to be removed by force, and no matter how powerful the "healing spell" is, it cannot save it.

The great witch Mafa inspected it carefully and found out that the arrow was strange, and his brows became more and more frowned.

The medical system of the Colemans is still in a very primitive stage.

Ninety-nine percent of the methods for treating trauma are the same, which is to apply a bunch of black, crushed herbs to the wound, then wrap it with leaves and wait for it to heal.

For particularly large wounds, there are some simple sutures, which are to take some small biological casings and sew them with a fishbone needle as thick as sewing clothes.

Of course, this is related to the constitution of the Coleman people. In many cases, it is okay to deal with it this way, but the infection mortality rate is not low.

They didn't compare, and they didn't see anything wrong.

As for "witchcraft treatment", that is only available to very serious patients.

These healing "witchcraft" are actually the same as the priesthood supernatural ones. The principle of its magic is to use extraordinary power to stimulate the activity of human cells and accelerate wound healing; or to forcibly stimulate the secretion of human hormones to maintain vital signs.

Many times, this is a very useful treatment.

However, if some special injuries are not completely eradicated, no matter how powerful the spell is, they cannot be saved.

Just like this.

... ... .

Renn himself is a doctor. When he sees the injured, he will reflexively think about how to deal with this situation if he encounters it.

Ever since he was almost cut off from his head and vomited in the Glory City last time, Renn has spent a lot of time researching on life-saving emergency surgeries.

Whether he was shot in the head, hit by a knife, hit by an arrow... All these injuries, Renn had carefully considered and practiced in his mind.

As long as he didn't die suddenly on the spot, he would think about how to save himself.

Of course, if you can save yourself, you can save others.

... ... .

As Ren expected, the Great Witch Festival was very powerful.

He held a ball of green magical fluorescent light in his hand and pressed it on the wound of the arrow-hit priestess. In the blink of an eye, the blood stopped flowing out completely, and all the wounds on her body were visibly healed.

In the blink of an eye, the blood scab fell off, and the new skin was intact as before. The healing effect was like a miracle.

However, the arrow stuck in his eye socket was still not pulled out.

In doing so, he only temporarily solved the priestess's injury, but the most fundamental problem has not yet been solved.

This kind of "centipede arrow" will kill you if you pull it out, but it is impossible to cure it if you don't pull it out. This puts Mafa in a dilemma.

After thinking about it for a long time, to no avail.

Looking at the expectant and anxious eyes of the tribesmen, the old man sighed and shook his head.

Everyone understood this sigh

There is nothing the Master Shaman can do, this is already a death sentence.

No one in the tribe could cure her.

The hope in the eyes of these barbarians quickly turned into tears and despair.

"Master Wuji, those invaders are so abominable. They have begun to invade the outer reaches of the forest..."

"Master Wuji, let's fight them!"

"Yes! Kill all those people and avenge the clan..."

"..."

Everyone was filled with indignation, and their sadness instantly turned into hatred, which became stronger and stronger.

The atmosphere in the whole small building was very depressing.

But suddenly,

A dissonant voice came out.

... ...

"That... Master Shamanji..."

These words seemed to have magic power, making the air freeze.

The barbarians in the room all turned their heads and looked over.

Things were so anxious just now that no one noticed that there was a white-skinned dwarf in the room. Now, they noticed Ren.

Huh... there's actually a damn invader coming to their most sacred place? !

Even Wu Duo looked surprised, with an angry and anxious look in his eyes.

At this juncture, why don't you just be quiet

It was over now, she had angered her tribe, and even if she wanted to save him, she couldn't!

Ren's hair burst from the glare of this group of strong men who were so angry that they were about to spit out flames, and he quickly said the second half of his sentence.

"I want to say that I am also a doctor. This injury... I can treat."
