Chapter 145 Survival in the wild

Ulysses put one of Nancy's arms on his shoulders, supported her with his own body, and carried her forward with difficulty.

This time it was their carelessness. Who would have thought that there would be an ambush in the woods where they had checked and re-checked, outflanking them from behind, cutting off their way back, and trapping them in a circle.

As an intelligence worker, he knew very well that wherever he passed, traces would be left behind. No matter how clever the method of removing traces was, there would always be some residue, not to mention that if a place was clean, there must be something wrong with it.

It is impossible to move a large-scale abandoned avenue without leaving traces. In order to clean up these traces, someone needs to clean up the rear after most people leave. The other party must be well prepared. If they are tracked and caught up, they will not let go.

If anyone goes without catching up, it means there is enough time to clean up the traces.

The battle was extremely brutal. They were surrounded and their retreat was blocked. The people they brought with them died one after another in order to cover them.

"Go!" Nancy decided immediately, "Go northwest!"

"You're crazy!" He couldn't believe it, "You know what's going to happen over there!"

"You'll die if you stay here!" Nancy yelled back at him, "Get out!"

That's right, fighting hard here means death. He couldn't refute it and could only retreat to the northwest under Nancy's cover.

The other party watched helplessly as they tore a hole open and retreated deeper into the woods. They exchanged glances and finally chose not to pursue them any further.

Their luck was not good. After walking for a while, before they could take a breath, they ran into a monster that was furious because its territory was invaded.

This is a bear-shaped monster. Bears have an extremely strong sense of territory and will become extremely violent once offended.

Nancy's back was scratched by a bear's claws with a deep and long gash. If she needed treatment, she would have to recite a long spell. There was no way the monster would give him a chance to use magic. He hugged Nancy and retreated.

When they arrived at a river, they jumped in and used the running water to cover up the smell on their bodies, thus avoiding the tracking of the monsters.

After swimming for a long time, Ulysses dared to go ashore. He had to find a place to stay quickly.

The wound on Nancy's back must have become inflamed after being soaked in water. If she doesn't find a place to put it down, she may be in trouble.

Fortunately, he found a tree hole that could barely accommodate two people. It was sheltered from the wind and relatively dry, which was good for them now.

Ulysses put Nancy down, carefully rolled up her clothes, and saw the terrible red and swollen wound.

He immediately recited the incantation. After the lengthy incantation, Nancy's wound began to glow and gradually healed, and the hideous injury became no longer terrifying.

Nancy's pale face also looked better, no longer looking like she was enduring great pain.

It's just that light magic has certain flaws. Every time it is used for treatment, the patient will fall into a deep sleep, as if the body has been hollowed out, and sleep is needed to replenish energy. With Nancy's injury, she must sleep for at least one day.

During this day, he needs to ensure the safety of the two people and find enough food to replenish energy.

Ulysses can be regarded as a well-educated person on weekdays. Although he occasionally needs to eat and sleep in the open air, he is usually surrounded by others, and most things are handled by others. He only waits for ready-made food and is never alone.

When faced with this situation.

First, a barrier was set up for the tree hole. Ulysses identified the direction and walked towards a place where there might be a water source.

After trying all his best, he finally blew up a few fish from the river. This was much more difficult than seducing a girl to get information from her.

Carrying these palm-sized fish, he walked back and found footprints on the ground when he reached the tree hole. Without having time to think about it, he rushed to the tree hole to check on Nancy.

There was no one in the tree hole, and Ulysses suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He didn't dare to think about what happened in the few dozen minutes he walked away.

If Nancy...if Nancy...his mind was in a state of confusion, and he did not dare to think about the possibility of something happening to Nancy.

No... Calm down, it shouldn't be possible. Even he doesn't know where he and Nancy are now, and how others could catch up in such a short period of time, so Nancy can only leave by herself.

But Nancy was clearly under his spell and should still be sleeping. How could she leave on her own?

"What are you doing?" A confused voice came from behind. Ulysses turned around suddenly and saw Nancy holding a pile of fruits and looking at him expressionlessly.

Ulysses took a few steps back and leaned against the tree trunk. He took a few deep breaths to suppress his chaotic heartbeat. When he opened his eyes again, he was still calm and calm.

"Why did you wake up?" He took some fruits from Nancy's hand, helped Nancy sit down, and couldn't help but blame her: "You woke up when you woke up, can't you just stay well? What do you think?

He was so seriously injured and still ran out."

Nancy was tired of his preaching. Even though she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to express herself, she still tried her best to roll her eyes: "You are so annoying. I know my body better than you do. I have received special training."

, I already have a certain resistance to healing magic, so I can wake up, please stop nagging me a lot, okay?"

Her good intentions were misunderstood, but Ulysses didn't care about her because she was a patient. He hung the fish on a tree and started looking for firewood.

"That kind of branch cannot be used. It cannot be ignited when it is wet. The branches of that kind of tree are poisonous when burned. That kind of tree is also useless...why are you staring at me?"

Ulysses threw the only usable firewood in his hand to the ground angrily: "You talk a lot."

Ulysses can be regarded as a proud man of heaven. He has never suffered any big losses since he was a child. There has never been a time when he couldn't do what he wanted to do.

It was the first time since he became conscious that someone pointed out what he was doing wrong.

However, he couldn't lose his temper. After all, what he did was wrong, but it was really embarrassing.

Nancy was unaware of his emotions and was quite smug: "I can listen to you in everything in the city, but in the wild you have to listen to me, you know?"

She was so proud, almost like a serf turning over and singing happily, which even gave people the illusion that a villain had achieved success.

Although Ulysses and Nancy have been noisy for so many years, no matter from what aspect, in the final result, Nancy is the unreasonable one, and Ulysses is condescending in front of Nancy.

He was used to it, and the sudden exchange of status was really hard for him to accept.

Ulysses suppressed his irritable mood and bent down to pick up the fruit: "I'm going to wash the fruit. You stay here and don't run around."
