After having the spiritual core of the carrion beast, the process of treating the woman became quite smooth.
For the little fat Gordon, the heir to the Beelzebub family who has the talent of sharing blood, as long as he is provided with enough food - that is, all kinds of living creatures or organs with blood energy, he can treat people as strong as dragons. to all kinds of creatures as humble as paramecium, and the spiritual core of the carrion beast meets the definition of "food".
Under Gordon's control, after just a few minutes of waiting, the woman completely returned to her healthy state, and everyone, including the carrion beast, truly breathed a sigh of relief this time.
Of course, since he was only saving a human life, Gordon did not absorb all the blood energy of the carrion beast's spiritual core. It's a pity that the remaining spiritual core cannot be returned to the carrion beast again, because once the spiritual core is taken out of the body, it can never return to the body of the carrion beast. This can't help but make George feel guilty again.
In order to thank the Carrion Beast for its contribution, George asked Uther, a pharmacist, to accept the remaining spiritual cores, and adhered to the principle of "barter" and took out several bottles of Hydra venom samples from the space bag. , in Uther's salivating eyes, he gave it to the Queen of the Carrion Beast, Saya.
These trophies obtained from the beasts that forced George into desperation for the second time are quite poisonous. Ordinary people may only be able to make them into poisons that can be applied to arrow tips or blades, but for the poison control master carrion beast, In other words, these venoms are as powerful as a panacea.
Seeing Shaye dancing, George couldn't help but feel satisfied.
In addition, although the mission of rescuing people was George's insistence, he did not forget the true purpose of his trip. After the woman and the newborn were cozy for a while, George asked the woman what she knew. All situations.
As a savior's request, the woman naturally told everything she wanted to. Combining some of the narrations and additions from Saya, Queen of the Carrion Beast, George finally tied together all the causes and consequences:
Carrion beasts, a race that lives with poison, were attracted to this mine when they used artificial rivers to discharge highly toxic alchemical potions into the swamps downstream without any disinfection treatment. So far, generation after generation has been reproduced.
The outbreak of the undead canopy, the withering of plants, and the drying up of rivers also caused the carrion beasts that accompany the swamps to dive deeper into the ground. As the gold mine owner Jenny transformed the artificial rivers next to the gold mine veins into wastewater pools After that, a small amount of venom slowly flowed into the original swamp along the pores of the dry soil.
Naturally, the carrion beasts followed the venom to dig caves and migrated collectively to the bottom of the gold mine. The poisonous gas they emitted around them had the ability to corrode the magic array. The poisonous gas emitted over many years eventually led to this. Difficulties in starting the mine.
According to the woman, on the eve of the mining accident, she was resting in the dormitory as usual, but a violent vibration came from the ventilation duct next to the dormitory. When she escaped from the dormitory, the entire ground had begun to collapse. , the dormitory inevitably fell into the hole in the ground. Although she struggled desperately, the pregnant woman with limited mobility did not survive and was swallowed by the hole behind her.
However, when the pregnant woman woke up, she found that she was not in the gold mine at the bottom of the ventilation duct, but deeper than the gold mine, belonging to the underground lair of the carrion beast, and she, miraculously, was Lying on the body of a carrion beast, the gelatinous body of the carrion beast is like an excellent cushion, helping the pregnant woman buffer most of the damage, but at the same time, the toxins on the carrion beast also make the pregnant woman The scars on her body quickly became infected and nearly killed the pregnant woman.
After experiencing the initial fear and uneasiness of the carrion beasts, the pregnant woman finally realized the kindness and harmlessness of the carrion beasts. At the same time, the carrion beasts quickly detoxified the pregnant woman, but even so, if she wanted to It was extremely difficult for her, who had been pregnant for several months, to climb from the underground lair to the gold mine.
As a last resort, pregnant women had to temporarily live in a nest near a cave, waiting for rescue. Although the carrion beasts could purify highly toxic gases, too clean gases would cause harm to their bodies.
Humans and carrion beasts are two races destined not to survive together for a long time. In order to allow pregnant women to live healthily and safely, the carrion beasts finally chose to move collectively back to the depths of the cave to reduce the emission of poisonous gas, leaving only a few minors whose bodies could not secrete venom to take care of the daily life of pregnant women.
Not long after, people came from the gold mine.
Through the voices they exchanged, the pregnant woman clearly recognized that they were the voices of the bodyguards of the gold mine boss. However, the pregnant woman also clearly heard the content of their exchange. The order they received from the boss, Miss Jenny, was not a rescue. But...
Kill the survivors!
The long-awaited hope turned into a life-threatening talisman. The frustrated pregnant woman had no choice but to hold on to the rock wall and escape to the depths of the cave, asking for the help of the carrion beast.
However, the pregnant woman later learned that in order to buy her time to escape, the underage carrion beasts used their lives to block the group of bodyguards. They were not strong enough to secrete venom and became the bodyguards' laughing and massacre. The subject's spiritual core was destroyed, and the rotten beast's gelatinous body turned into mucus, intestines, and internal organs flying everywhere, making the entire cave as terrifying as hell!
Those bodyguards could not escape death in the end, and the deadly venom swallowed up their humble lives! Although the wight beasts are gentle and kind by nature, when they sense that their cubs have been killed, their wails and angry cries resound throughout the Gold Mountains.
George had learned about what happened later from the resentful spirit through soul resonance. The child in the belly becomes the only hope for a pregnant woman to survive. Fighting against the poisonous gas, stench, and body's hunger and thirst in the cave has become a required daily course for pregnant women.
Fortunately, fate did not abandon her and her children. The miners and their families who also died in the mining accident a few days ago were transformed into corpses under the influence of the rich dark magic power. Spirits, even if they have lost most of their memories of their lives, the resentful spirits still protect pregnant women in their own way——
The "culprits" who caused the food and water to disappear in the employee dormitories some time ago are really these resentful spirits.
Later, there were the mercenary teams who were unfortunately implicated, as well as George and others who were about to put a stop to this farce.
And for the beginning and end of all this tragedy, someone must pay the price!
"Have you decided on the child's name?"
Before leaving, George asked the happy-looking woman in a low voice.
"Just call her Saya. It can also be considered as a memory of my benefactor."
Among the civilians in this plane, there is such an unwritten custom: in order to thank and commemorate the important people who have helped them, people often give the other person's name to their descendants, and in this way they hope that their children will have the same people as them in the future. The sparkling quality of a big shot.
Standing at the exit of the gold mine, the woman held her child and bowed deeply towards the depths of the cave. In a daze, George seemed to hear the voice coming from the cave, from the Queen of the Carrion Beast Shaye Yiyi. The song of reluctance.
