Vera ran to Kordak on her hands and knees, completely ignoring the risk that her wound might open. Now Kordak has completely transformed into a werewolf. The originally strong body like a bear now looks even more majestic, the rough human face has been replaced by a terrifying wolf head, and the fangs on the wolf's mouth look ferocious and terrifying. .
But Vera was not afraid of the ferocious Kordak. Now Kordak was lying on the snow completely unconscious. There were still a few bloody white hairs in his mouth, which were from the giant white bear beside him.
It was a smaller monster than a red-blooded bear, and its power was only about half of that of a red-blooded bear. It was completely dead, with the fatal wound on its throat. It looked like Kordak had bitten its throat directly.
Vera had no time to pay attention to the white bear, because Kordak's condition seemed not to be optimistic. He had many scratches all over his body. The white bear tore off a piece of flesh on his left arm near the shoulder, and the wound was so deep that the bones were visible.
Vera looked around, then turned and left.
A few minutes later, Vera ran back. The original cave was too far away from here, and she had to find a place nearby that could shelter her from the wind and snow. Luckily, she found it.
Vera gritted her teeth and carried Kordak on her back and moved slowly. The wound on her back had opened, and blood was smeared between Kordak's chest and abdomen, but the man was not aware of it.
After an unknown amount of time, Vera finally carried Kordak to her destination. In fact, the cave was not far from the incident site, only about two hundred meters, but Vera spent nearly twenty minutes on this short two hundred meters. Her own injuries were not healed, and it was naturally extremely difficult to carry a two-hundred-pound Kordak on her back.
"Smelly man, it's time to lose weight!" Vera frowned and muttered. Although their situation looked a bit bad, she was infected by Kordak's optimism two days ago, and now she did not feel pessimistic and helpless.
"Kordak is still alive now. He was just a little injured, but everything will be fine!" Vera said to herself in her heart.
Unlike her own injuries, Kordak's wounds were almost all over his body, so even though Vera was a little embarrassed, she could only blush and take off Kordak's leather armor to treat the wounds.
Kordak still had many useful items in his clothes, but the empty healing potion bottle caught her attention.
According to Kordak's explanation, he also carried a lot of defective healing potions with him. Vera originally wanted to find two bottles to heal Kordak, but she almost stripped Kordak naked and only found the empty bottle. This made Vera feel a little guilty, but she didn't think much about it and just thought it was used up.
After Vera examined the wounds all over Kordak's body, she couldn't help but be a little confused. Kordak suffered mostly skin injuries, and the largest wound was only on his left arm. Although this injury could not be considered a minor injury, it was far from serious enough to cause him to fall into a coma.
Vera was a little worried. She was afraid that Kordak was in a coma due to severe internal injuries. If the internal organs are injured, it will be difficult to recover without healing potions. What she lacks most now is healing potions.
Vera picked up the empty healing potion bottle again. She hesitated for a moment, then opened the bottle cap and smelled it. After a moment, her expression completely changed.
Vera hurriedly pulled Kordak's arm and looked carefully. Finally, she found an almost imperceptible small wound on Kordak's wrist. The wound was extremely smooth and it looked like it could not have been torn by a wild animal. caused by biting.
Vera covered her mouth with both hands. She couldn't bear it anymore, and big tears fell down.
"You stupid man..." Vera's hands trembled, but she did not dare to touch the wound. She said softly: "I am a stupid woman..."
Vera finally understood the so-called "defective healing potion" in Kordak's mouth. What she drank in the past two days was not any healing potion at all, but blood, Kordak's blood!
It turned out that Kordak was very worried about Vera's injury a few days ago. He knew that Vera still needed healing potions to enhance her body's recovery ability. But there is no way there is any extra healing potion in this world of ice and snow.
"It would be great if she could have my recovery power." Kordak was secretly anxious at the time. He was bleeding with werewolf blood and had amazing recovery power. Naturally, this injury was not a big problem.
After thinking over and over, Kordak came up with the idea of using his own blood to treat Vera. He cut his wrist with a dagger, let his blood flow into the healing potion bottle, and then lied that it was a healing potion before giving it to Vera.
Since the healing potion is also a red liquid, and Kordak lied that it was a defective product. So Vera ignored the strange taste and slightly different color of this so-called "defective product". But now that I think about it, that's not a healing potion at all!
In this way, everything makes sense. No wonder this "healing potion" is as red as blood; no wonder this "healing potion" stinks like blood; no wonder Kordak takes back the healing potion bottle every time; no wonder Kordak is light-footed and weak these days; no wonder Kordak is light-footed and weak these days; Ke was not seriously injured but fell into a coma. Because that's not a healing potion, that's blood, Kordak's blood!
Werewolf blood can indeed enhance people's recovery ability, so it is also one of the main materials for making healing potions. However, the restorative power of pure werewolf blood is limited. Since the quality is limited, it can only be made up for in quantity.
So Kordak released three bottles of healing potion for Vera to drink every day, each bottle was about 150 ml. In these three days, Kordak lost 1,350 ml of blood. Moreover, he has to take care of Vera every day and go hunting every day. A normal person would have collapsed under such overloaded operation. Even if Kordak's body was extremely strong, he should not have been able to sustain it for so long. Vera could hardly imagine how Kordak had managed to hold on these past few days.
Vera looked at the unconscious Kordak and vaguely felt that there were two figures overlapping each other. One is himself, and the other is the dead Silenos. She didn't expect that this man who moaned all day long would hide everything like Silenus and just pay silently. She didn't know that Kordak had always been like this, or that he had changed after Silenus' death. Like this.
With tears in her eyes, Vera treated Kordak's wounds. Although he lost a lot of blood and suffered some injuries, these were not fatal to Kordak, who had werewolf blood. Therefore, Kordak was fine after he stopped bleeding.
While Vera was treating the wound seriously, Kordak slowly woke up. When he saw a human woman busy beside him, his body immediately tensed up, and his eyes reflected a terrifying green light.
Vera was overjoyed at first when she saw Kordak wake up, but she soon realized that Kordak at this time had no memory and thoughts as a human being. He was not Kordak now, but a human being. A werewolf. So she raised her hands and backed away slowly, indicating that she was not a threat.
But the werewolf didn't seem to believe Vera. The only thing he wanted to do now was to jump up suddenly while she wasn't paying attention, and then pounce on her and bite her throat. But he couldn't attack. The wounds all over his body and the large amount of blood loss left him without any strength to attack. So he just looked at Vera coldly, and kept making threatening sounds in his throat.
Vera is also secretly worried now. There are still many wounds on Kordak's body that have not been cleaned. If they are not treated in time, it will be very troublesome once the wounds become infected, especially in this situation without any supplies.
"You are injured and need treatment. I can help you." Vera didn't know if the werewolf could understand it, but she had to work hard to do something.
The werewolf still looked at Vera warily, but no longer growled.
Vera felt happy when she saw the werewolf expressed his intention. She slowly approached the werewolf and prepared to continue her work.
But when the werewolf saw Vera following up, his body became tense again. Vera immediately stopped and calmed the werewolf again.
In this way, Vera approached and comforted the werewolf, and finally succeeded in approaching him, and then continued to treat the wound carefully.
This was a long process, and both of them were extremely cautious. It took Vera two hours to complete all of this.
When the work was finally completed, an overwhelming feeling of fatigue came over me. Vera was so tired. Not only did she learn the truth about the healing potion, she also experienced huge mental fluctuations. She also carried a 200-pound strong man to the cave when the wound was broken, and spent more than two hours cleaning her wound. Now she only felt sleepiness pouring into her consciousness, so she leaned against the wall and sat next to the werewolf and fell asleep.
"..." The werewolf looked at Vera with some confusion. This woman seemed to have fallen asleep. The bloodthirsty impulse surged in his body again. Now that he had regained some strength, he could easily kill this woman in a sneak attack.
But the werewolf was a little hesitant, because this woman seemed to trust him very much, a kind of trust that was fearless and almost blind. He didn't know why this woman would treat him like this, and he was a little curious.
The bigger aspect was another instinct besides the bloodthirsty instinct. He didn't know what it was, but he always felt that there was a consciousness resolutely blocking him in his heart, as if he wanted to kill this woman. He will live in pain for the rest of his life.
The werewolf kept raising his hand and then lowering it, his eyes sometimes ferocious and sometimes calm. The most recent time he had extended his claws to the woman's neck, but looking at the woman's peaceful sleep, he finally put it down again. In this way, the night was spent in the werewolf's struggle.
…
Vera slowly opened her eyes, and the werewolf from before had transformed back into Kordak. The man said to her with a hearty smile as usual: "Yo! Girl! Are you awake?"
"Yes." Vera rubbed her sleepy eyes and grinned. All this finally passed, and she suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
"What happened last night? Why am I injured? Why did I see you and me together when I woke up today? Didn't I eat you when I turned into a werewolf? Also, where did you find this thing? Come out?" Kordak asked a lot of questions and raised the deep purple crystal in his hand.
"Isn't this your own thing? Why are you asking me?" Vera pouted. She chose to hide what happened last night in her heart and did not intend to tell Kordak. So she deliberately chose the last question to answer to distract Kordak. He had discovered this crystal last night, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. She had been thinking about the healing potion at that time.
"Mine?" Kordak looked at the amethyst and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh! By the way, this thing was given to me by Annelotte, saying it can be used to contact her. Hey, come to think of it. You gave me such an expensive thing directly, that girl is really rich!"
"What did you say?" Vera was stunned.
"I said it's so expensive..."
"That sentence before!" Vera interrupted Kordak hastily.
"Before... I said before that this thing can be used for..." Kordak was also stunned, and then slapped his forehead: "We two idiots!"
