Chapter 25 Chapter 25 You exposed
About five minutes ago, Balder was unconscious , almost 90% of his life was lost. Five minutes later, he was able to stand up on his own, as if nothing had happened.

"Your body is recovering so fast!" Dagon took another breather and fanned the breath in front of him with his hands. He asked, "Mr. Balder, will you use magic to heal your injuries?"

"Only some priests of the Ori Gods can spell that kind of spell. I only know a little way to use herbs, but I don't have the conditions right now." Balder looked around and asked, "Have you done any reconnaissance here? Is there a way out?"

"I think there is a hole in the wall over there, and there may be a chance later." Dagon pointed out the collapse and Kongdao, "I plan to take a good rest, and wait for you to have a good meal, Let's go."

"Okay, you heat up the food, and I just happen to have some."

Most of the food in Balder's backpack was soaked and washed away. Not much left. After Dagon drank the drink, he felt very warm in his stomach, as if he had just poured a large pot of hot soup. Because of this, he doesn't feel hungry now, so he decides to feed Balder first. After checking the bag, Dagon found only two pieces of fist-sized Frost Snake Jerky, and the only bag of dry food was already in his stomach.

Why so little food? Dagon felt a little weird. Judging from the placement of items, Balder should be a very organized person, and such people tend to make adequate preparations. On the other hand, the backpack is also closed after falling into the water. There is no evidence to believe that the contents inside have fallen. Even if it is soaked in water, the packaging should still be there, and there should be traces of batter!
"There's not much food left, we two need to save a little bit, or find a chance to hunt." Dagon was very optimistic, he said: "It doesn't need much, as long as we catch another frost snake, it's enough!"

"Frost snakes are not that easy to catch, so don't say that kind of nonsense!"

Dagon pursed his lips, wondering where Balder's team leader's anger came from. The team leader has been very anxious since he woke up, and there is absolutely no calm that he talked about before. From time to time, he also shows a vague distaste for Dagon, which makes absolutely no sense!

Since you are still alive, shouldn't you be happy first? Even if there is no need to hold a banquet to celebrate, it should be a little joy of rebirth, right? Then, it's not his own fault in any way. The Slug Slime was not raised by Dagon, and it didn't appear when Dagon was on his way out. The escape route, the rescue of the students, and the final fall into the water were not Dagon's problems.

'These are your questions,' Dagon said to himself, looking at Balder.

I can only think about it in my heart, Dagon dare not say it face to face. Is there any hope of completing the trial of the hunting party? Can the two of them go back to Jiangu City? These all have to fall on the leader of Balder. Oh... Dagon suddenly understood that the leader of the team may have lost his bear lizard, so he felt sad and annoyed, and he had a bad temper.

"Dagon, turn the snake meat over and reduce the amount of peat. It's best if you can cut out a little bit, we need to save some." Balder leaned over and commanded from the other side of the fire "You're using too much peat, but that's understandable..."

Bald kept scolding what Dagon should do with his mouth, so that Dagon's attention was on the fire and peat, and the other While sneaking, extend the hand to grab the head-hunting axe. He had already planned to pull out his axe and slash, and Dagon had no time to dodge, let alone defend. Such a ferocious weapon, smashing it anywhere on the body can make people lose their battle strength. Isn't this enough to kill Dagon?
Huh? Didn't pull it out? Why is it so tight?
Dagon felt the ground beside him tremble slightly, turned his head to look, and found that Balder was pulling the tip of the headhunter axe. He immediately became alert, grabbed the first hunting axe, and said, "What are you doing with my weapon?"

"I...I want to wear clothes." Balder changed his direction with his wrist. , grabbed the baked clothes from the head-hunting axe, and hurriedly put them on. "Clothes... don't take the initiative to give them to me when the clothes are dry, you just want to see... see me naked, right?"

"Oh...that's it." Dagon was dubious, but he still held his hand. He pulled it back and scratched his head: "Sorry, I did forget about it. Wet clothes are not good for recovery, and it's still very warm next to the fire..."

Bald wearing pants , changed his serious tone, and praised and thanked Dagon for the first time, he said: "I didn't criticize you, you did the right thing. If it wasn't for your care, I'd be dead."

" It's not impossible." Dagon shook his head and said, "Mr. Balder, you actually saved yourself. Your physical fitness is quite good, and you can hold ice cubes even when you are unconscious. Floating on the water greatly reduces the risk of injury. Possibly, I was bruised all over..."

Here, Dagon felt something was wrong. Balder really didn't have many wounds, sprains or more serious. And his fingers have been stuck in the ice cubes, how can he still pull on the rope and fasten the buttons to wear clothes, it seems that he is not affected in any way? Dagon's right arm is just being pulled by the belt and is not functioning properly yet. Dagon is not lying on the ice, but soaking in running water, and the degree of frostbite is much heavier than Balder.

There seems to be something wrong...

Dagon frowned when he thought, Balder realized this, and suddenly changed the subject. "Uh, Dagon, have the scales on your chest been fine?"

"Huh? Oh...the scales? They're not gone. Actually..." Dagon flushed, embarrassed. "Actually, they haven't gotten more serious, so I'm very grateful for the blessing of God Oli."

"So, have you figured out which kind of monster's bloodline you have been affected by for so many years?"

Balder distracts Dagon by revealing the scar, then grabs the headhunter with both hands. He pulled out with all his might, and the headhunter was still completely motionless. However, under the action of the word "hard", a circle of moss, lichens, rocky sand and soil around the headhunting axe flew up, and pu chi pu chi smashed Balder's face.

"What are you doing!" Dagon doesn't know why, but he does know what to do! He leaped, rolled past the headhunter, and grabbed it. He clicked on the position where the word "firm" was embedded in the weapon, and released the mana as a command, dispelling the effect of the rune.

The headhunter entered Dagon's hands obediently, with the tip pointed at Baldur, and the blade and hammer head guarding the flanks. After rolling, Dagon entered a squatting position with his knees pressed like a spring, ready to rush out at any time. He stared at Balder's movements closely, used the first hunting axe to form a threat to an entire area, and asked unceremoniously: "What do you want to do?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, what I don't want to do , just to see if you are ready to fight." Balder smiled and explained with open arms: "This is part of the hunter's trial, it's a test, it's a test question. Your response is very good, you can definitely Excellent judgement."

Dagon didn't believe this explanation, and he still aimed at Balder with his head axe. It's different from facing a burrowing crab, aiming a weapon at a Jiangu clansman, ready to kill an intelligent creature, something Dagon has never experienced. Although he is already sixty years old, he is only just an adult, and he should be allowed to have sweaty palms, shortness of breath, nervousness, and hesitation in his heart.

"We're parting here!" Dagon said, "I'll take your bag and go through the opening over there, and I'll leave you some supplies on the way. If you catch up, I'll use The weapon is aimed at you. If you come within the range of the weapon, I will attack."

"You are overreacting, which is completely unnecessary. Look, I have no weapon, and I am not hostile. It's normal to be too nervous, you need to control your emotions and calm down."

"Don't come near me. I'm just telling you about the plan just now, not discussing it!"

Dagon gets up slowly, moving very smoothly. The spear tip of the first hunting axe not only aimed at Balder, but also drew circles in a small area, exuding the meaning of threat in unpredictable circles one after another. He panned to the left in a staggered step, approaching Balder's backpack, grabbed the headhunter with one hand with the other hand, and grabbed the backpack strap with the other.

Bald's eyes twitched and his expression became unnatural. Dagon noticed that the fingers of his hands were spread out and slightly curved, palms down like the claws of a beast, and he became more cautious.

"Dagon, you don't know where you're going. We're just walking together..."

"You don't know where this is either." Dagon quickly slung his backpack over his shoulder , resume holding the Headhunter in both hands, and then start backing away. "Balder, I advise you to calm down, even if you wash your face with ice water! Your brain is very unclear, I really hope it's just the shadow of trauma..."

Before he finished speaking, Only the sound of thumping water came from the upper reaches of the underground river, and then a slender black shadow fell into the cave with ice cubes and huge water splashes. Both Dagon and Balder could see the shadow of the falling water out of the corner of their eyes, and both saw it flapping up the ice floes and jumping onto the shoal.

It's Baldur's bear lizard, the poor skinny fellow alive.

The bear lizard can swim and even dive, of course it should be alive.

"Come here!" Bald angry roar, the bear lizard lifts the head in surprise, then dashes half-jump and half-swimming with its short round tail. It tilted its head and tried to rub Balder, but he slapped him on the head and stumbled directly.

"Bite him to death." Balder pointed at Dagon, and at the same time drew two hatchets from the bear lizard's pouch. "Hunt, attack, obey orders!"

The bear lizard stared at Balder with wide eyes, then turned and bared its fangs at Dagon. Its six bear legs raked the ground, and its wobbly hips and steady shoulders signaled that it was in hunting mode.

"Dagon, you monster has been exposed! I am ordered to destroy you." Balder's eyeballs kept spinning counterclockwise, sending cold shivers down one's spine, but this was not as terrifying as his words. "Only by draining your blood, burning your flesh, and breaking your bones, will the city of Jiangu regain its peace. This is the will of God Oli to me!"

"I won't lie. Don't show your timidity." Dagon held the first hunting axe in one hand and pressed his throat with the other: "Bald, you have no eloquence at all, you won't use it at all..."
