Chapter 117: Set Out Again
Dick looked back and saw the few surviving dogs whimpering around the frozen dead dogs. He knew that they were sad about the death of their companions.
He sighed in his heart:
Sometimes dogs are much better than humans and are more loyal.
In contrast, in human society, the drama of intrigue and deception is frequently staged.
What's worse, some people will take the opportunity to add insult to injury and step on others.
If it were a human who died, others might cheer.
Dick returned to the cave again and began to gnaw on the food, feeling his physical strength and energy slowly recovering.
At the same time, he watched the prompt on the panel:
Kill 3 snow trolls and get 50 energy points. The total energy points are currently 350.
After kneeling for a while, Dick stood up and Anson next to him had emerged from the tent.
"Dick, can we set off now?"
"I need to move the boulder at the entrance of the cave. I've rested enough now, so I'll do it right away."
"Let me help you."
"Okay, come with me."
The two came to the entrance of the cave, and Dick drew his sword again, inserted it into the gap on one side, and slowly dug.
Anson also helped shovel snow on the other side with a wooden stick.
After a while, Dick felt that the bottom of the boulder was not so tight, and it should be possible to push it, so he stopped Anson.
Then he stood in front of the boulder and pushed it forward with both hands.
"Ah!"
Dick shouted as he pushed forward from time to time, and the boulder shook with his movements.
But after pushing it a few times, the boulder stopped moving.
Dick had to stop: "There is too much snow piled up outside, and the weight accumulated on the boulder is too heavy, and I can't even push it.
"Anson, come and help."
"Okay, Dick, what do you say? "
"We only push one end of the stone, no longer forward, but to the right, yes, that's it."
The two slowly pushed the boulder to the right side of the cave entrance.
After a few times, the boulder stopped again. Dick stopped at this time, looking satisfied:
"It's OK, the gap on the left is enough for each of us to slowly go out. The next step is to clear the snow on the left. "
After working for a while, seeing Anson sweating and panting, Dick simply let him rest aside, took off his coat, and shoveled snow alone.
Half an hour later, a small passage with a width of one person was finally shoveled out.
Dick walked out of the passage, stepped on the hard snow shell and looked around.
Seeing that this was a clear small mountain wall before, it is now completely invisible.
The surroundings are covered with snow, all submerged by the avalanche.
Dick squinted his eyes and looked around, muttering: "After the sun reflects on the snow, the light is too strong. I have to get a pair of quartz sunglasses to wear. ”
After turning back, he told Anson that he could leave the matter.
"Dick, let's look around first, maybe we can find the last herb. Then we can call Raven to go together."
"Okay."
The two went out together again, with Dick guarding Anson to prevent any accidents.
And the young doctor looked at the snow around him seriously, speaking professional terms that Dick couldn't understand, probably speculating various directions.
After a while, he ran from the east.
Dick looked in his direction and saw him squat after walking to a snow pile and began to dig up the snow below.
After a while, Anson happily put a light green herb into his pocket and ran over.
"Found it?"
"Yes, I found it, that's great. Then let's call Raven."
"Okay. "
The two returned again, but seeing that Raven had not yet stood up, a hurried and uneasy voice came from her tent:
"Father, mother, please, don't leave me...
"Little sister, little brother, don't die,... Please let them go! Please!"
Dick and Anson looked at each other, and then the two walked to Raven's tent. Dick opened a corner of the tent and looked inside:
But the sorceress's face was flushed, her eyes were closed, her face was covered with sweat, and her mouth was hurried:
"Venomous snakes, you are poisonous snakes!
"My Lord Gabriel, I am willing to give everything I have as long as I can get revenge!"
"She is talking in her sleep." Dick sighed softly. Raven is now talking nonsense and must be seriously ill.
Then he gently placed his hand on Raven's head and turned to look at Anson: "Not good, it's hotter than before.
"Anson, is there any way?"
Anson smiled helplessly, "If I were in Odinburg, I could still boil some herbs, but in this situation, I don't have any tools!
"We can do something useful. This cave is still too cold. We can move Raven's bedding to the fire and add more clothes for her."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Dick squatted beside Raven and picked her up.
The semi-conscious Raven did not resist at all. Instead, she found a comfortable position and put her head in Dick's arms, and stopped talking in her sleep.
Very light.
This was Dick's first feeling. He didn't expect Raven to be so tall and so light. He estimated that she was only a little over 100 pounds.
But he was also confused:
When she was judged in Odinburg, Raven could burst out with that powerful momentum in an instant, but now she easily got a fever.
But it is also possible that Riven is just powerful in magic but weak in body.
There should be very few sorcerers who practice both magic and martial arts in this world.
Anson on the side rolled up the blanket and laid it next to the campfire.
Dick also came to the campfire and planned to put Riven down.
But the latter held the corner of Dick's clothes tightly with his arms and refused to let go.
Seeing this, Dick smiled helplessly and could only kneel down by the campfire. With the help of Anson, he laid Riven flat and covered her with a quilt.
Dick's legs could only serve as a temporary pillow.
"Dick, this is hard for you." Anson on the side comforted.
"It's okay. Anyway, I can recuperate with my eyes closed. You should rest for a while."
"Okay, I'll take a nap first. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, Anson went back into the tent.
Dick closed his eyes to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, Dick felt the movement on his legs and opened his eyes to look. Riven was also looking at him at this time.
But the expression was indescribable, it was hard to tell whether it was gratitude or disgust, but at least it looked much better.
Dick smiled: "How do you feel now?"
Raven sat up slowly, "I'm much better, Dick, why are you just sitting like this?"
There was some guilt in her words.
"It's okay, anyway, I'm strong." Dick gently tapped his numb legs and stood up.
Raven stared at the fire for a while, then slowly stood up.
Although she was still a little unsteady, she seemed to be fine.
