In a dry and open area of ​​the cave tunnel, several people dressed as fishermen and crew lay on the ground, moaning and wailing constantly. Most of them were middle-aged men with distorted and painful expressions. Even though the temperature in the cave was extremely low, they were still sweating profusely.

Among the people lying on the ground, only an old man with a slightly bowed waist was relatively calm, but it could also be seen that there were many swellings on the old man's legs, and there were several black and blue dots passing through it faintly. .

A teenager about 14 or 15 was full of anxiety, holding a potion and a knife in his hands, and applied the potion to the ordinary people who were moaning and screaming.

"Everyone."

Occasionally, he will helplessly remind: "Please keep your voice down, this is a cave area, and the sound can travel far. If it attracts other monsters, it will be really dangerous."

The blond boy is none other than Isengard.

When the South China Sea changed, he, Master Goser, Ian, Shasha and the pirate captain were swept into the ruins by the strong wind when the ruins were opened.

Because Master Gesai is exhausted, he can only be on top, urging sublimation skills and body protection accessories to protect everyone.

He succeeded, but in the final analysis he was still at the first energy level, unable to be perfect, and still caused everyone to scatter, and could only protect the unconscious Master Gesai from falling into the ruins.

Because of the protection of the body armor, he woke up quickly. After observing the environment, he began to try to find the exit along the direction of the wind—although he majored in fire, he also had some accomplishments in wind.

The tunnel extends in all directions, deep and dark. After searching for a long time, before Isengard could find the exit, he first encountered a group of ordinary fishermen and merchant merchants who were attacked by monsters.

The changes in the South China Sea have affected not only the distant seas.

At the time of the catastrophe, large and small eddy gaps appeared on the Odell Reef, around the Tantan Cliff, and even in the northeast sea area, dragging many outsiders from ships into it, and involving many ordinary people.

Only the main entrance of the tide is relatively rough, and the small crossings in other places are quite gentle, and even some fishermen's fishing boats are not damaged.

Although Isengard lacks emotional intelligence and is a little naive, he is not so stupid and sweet that he will save people without thinking. If he can find those relatively gentle small entrances, it will definitely be of great help to their current situation.

He shot back the hideless lobster, which was in a strange situation—a giant shrimp without a shell, but with a layer of tough oil on its surface. This kind of giant prawn is the main course of the top whole prawn feast of rich people in coastal cities, and the delicious shrimp oil is even more delicious, but it is hard to say who is whose delicacy at this moment.

After killing the monster one-on-one, Isengard was shocked to find that almost all ordinary people affected by the water foam sprayed out by the lobster, even Master Gesai, started to have a high fever, and extremely obvious symptoms appeared on their bodies. Drums and cysts.

"This is a parasite. Ordinary detoxification and deworming agents are not useful. Instead, they are sedatives that slow down blood flow. An anesthetic that anesthetizes nerve perception can reduce the frequency of activity of these unknown parasites."

Holding a medicine and a knife, the young man dexterously shuttled among the groaning crowd, pierced the pustules for them, killed the parasites whose activities had slowed down, then burned the wound with fire, and then healed the burn with medicine.

He has entered a professional state at this moment, treating everything as a bioalchemy experiment, but calmed down, and then analyzed and dealt with it calmly: "These parasites flow along the blood, but their purpose is not to spread throughout the body, but to Reach the 'brain-blood barrier' and enter the brain."

"This is a parasite that specializes in the nervous system, so anesthetics are most effective."

After Esengard's treatment, most of the infected patients improved, but they couldn't be cured. He couldn't find where the lesions were located in a short time, and even if he found them, he didn't have enough time to cure them all one by one.

Standing in front of an old man who was sweating profusely but kept his breathing as calm as possible, the young man half-kneeled in front of him, lifted his robe, and carefully observed the legs that had swollen to twice their original size.

Master Gosai had been silently observing every move of his students. He watched Isengard analyze the situation, prepare medicines to treat patients on the spot and conduct pharmacological and biological analysis.

Although it was painful, he also showed a gratified smile.

He originally thought that Yi Sen would be depressed because of his uncle's betrayal, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, the child could still stick to his heart, always have compassion, and did not lose the basic skills of alchemy.

— maybe not a good nobleman...but a good student.

It wasn't until the boy came to him that the old man returned to his original calm appearance.

"Teacher, mobilize the source quality, suppress the blood flow in the lower body, and I will handle it."

Seriously said to Master Goser, Isengard himself is not afraid of infection - the blood of the inheritors of the eclipsed light refining dragon is a special poisonous alchemy substrate, and they themselves are a different kind of parasitic organisms Inheritance, it is almost impossible to be parasitized by other organisms.

So he can handle everyone's illness with great ease.

"...That's right, Ethan, you're looking a little better now."

The old man nodded slightly, then shook his head and said: "My legs are no longer good. During the coma process, this monster-level parasite has corroded all the nervous systems in my legs. To cure it, it is better to cut it off. , and then use the regeneration potion to grow another one."

"Is that so..." After a pause, Isengard said firmly, "...At least, I have to ease your pain, Teacher."

"This is the blocking medicine I prepared, which can probably stop the parasite's activity for a period of time. Other patients have responded well, and there is no risk."

"Um."

Master Gesai glanced at the crowd whose screams had slowed down, but their limbs and their own legs were swollen with cysts.

He frowned first, wanting to say something, but finally sighed: "You saved them...may make them suffer even more."

"What?"

Isengard, who had seen too little, was a little at a loss, while the old man who had seen too many similar situations just shook his head: "It's nothing, in the final analysis, it's your kindness... and it's not necessarily hopeless."

Raising his head, when the young man was injecting himself with blocking medicine, Master Gosai raised his head, looked towards the other side of the cave, and sighed softly: "I don't know what's going on with these underground ruins, there are so many terrible things here. Parasites, I don't know how it maintains the group, and what happens to other biomes..."

After a pause, he said again: "Ethan, do you still remember in which direction Ian fell?"

"No."

Isengarde thought for a while, then shook his head slightly: "At that time, the wind and waves were extremely strong, and I just slowed down to protect everyone and tried my best."

"However, seeing that these ordinary people can survive, I believe Ian will be fine."
