Sure enough, Xi immediately frowned and looked over and said:
"How is that possible? The purpose of medical skills is to save people, and the purpose of improving combat effectiveness is to kill people. These two things are completely opposite. How could the situation you mentioned happen?"
Du Yuqi said:
"Aren't you very interested in my medical skills? And you actively ask me to treat you? This is a great opportunity to learn my medical skills."
Xi said calmly:
"I like to drink milk, do I need to raise a cow at home? I like to eat eggs, do I need to feed several chickens?"
Xi usually doesn't like to talk much, but Du Yuqi didn't expect that she would remain silent and her speech would be so sharp when she opened her mouth. Unexpectedly, she would accidentally get involved and immediately change the subject:
"Rescuing people and killing people is the same thing. You have experienced many battles. You must know that you can't punch in the throat when sparring, right?"
Xi said simply:
"Of course, that's the key point."
Du Yuqi smiled:
"Yeah, so why is this the key point?"
Xi obviously didn't expect Du Yuqi to ask this question, and said in a daze:
"Because you'll be out of breath if you get hit."
Du Yuqi snapped his fingers and said:
"Excellent, then the question becomes, why can't hitting the arms or stomach make people breathless, but the chest can?"
Xi couldn't answer this time. Du Yuqi looked at her and said seriously:
"This is just the beginning. The human body is actually more complex and sophisticated than any machine. The prerequisite for the medical skills I am learning is to understand the structure of the human body and why the human body produces dizziness, coughing, and vomiting. , suffocation and other physiological reactions. In this way, targeted treatment can be carried out. Of course, on the other hand, targeted destruction can be carried out more simply and directly, making your attacks more effective! !”
After hearing what Du Yuqi said, Xi could see that she didn't quite understand it, but after thinking about it, she felt it still made sense, so she said happily:
"Okay, if you say so, then let me help too."

After finally getting two assistants, Du Yuqi finally started work. At this time, there were already four or five injured people sent over, and Du Yuqi immediately threw himself into the work.
Fortunately, the weather was cold at this time, with temperatures below zero, so the wounds were not easily infected. In addition, the wounded were all warriors with strong physiques, so Du Yuqi saved a lot of operational procedures, and finally there were alchemy potions and magical techniques. to finish the work, so the wounded were dealt with very quickly.
During the treatment process, Du Yuqi guided his two assistants and casually asked the wounded some seemingly ordinary questions. His face became more and more serious. When he had a chance to rest midway, he asked the injured person next to him. Xi whispered;
"It looks like there's big trouble in the church."
Xi frowned and said:
"how?"
Du Yuqi said:
"According to some intelligence analysis currently obtained, the Minsk Church originally had the advantage of home enchantment. The consumption of sacred skills was halved and the effect was doubled. But now the advantage of this home enchantment is obvious. It is gradually weakening, and it should be weakened by at least half now. This should be the reason why the Bantu tribe suddenly changed, and even those magic traps and magic circles were forced to break through with human lives! "
Xi suddenly said:
"Even if we can't defend here, as long as we can hold on until dark, then we can still have a way out by relying on the night vision goggles you brought out."
Du Yuqi smiled bitterly and said:
"It's not hard for me to get away,
The problem is that after leaving the protection of the church, what will a child like Count Latnis do? He will be killed by the other party's blood curse in a few minutes. Now the cathedral and I are in a situation where we both suffer and prosper... not to mention that as long as there are injured people sent over, it will be fine. It would be bad if no wounded were sent over. "
At this time, I brought two boxes of lunch over for the two of them to eat. I happened to hear the word "bad" said by Du Yuqi and said:
"Why would it be bad if no wounded were brought here?"
Du Yuqi sighed:
"If I were the commander of the Bantu tribe, after confirming that the barrier on the Minsk Cathedral side is indeed weakening, of course I would not send troops while the barrier is still functioning! It must be Retract back and recharge their batteries. In short, they are not in a hurry now. Once all the barriers are gone, they will attack together and the battle will be completed!"
After listening to Du Yuqi's words, he was stunned, and then said:
"But how can the other party be sure that this barrier will continue to weaken? If this is just a temporary situation, then wouldn't the commander fail to seize the great opportunity?"
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"You make a lot of sense, but war cannot be separated from other factors, but should be considered in a comprehensive way. As far as the current situation is concerned, the invasion of the Minsk Cathedral should be the will of the mysterious organization. The Bantu tribe is only a party hired by the mysterious organization, and even their internal opinions may not be unified. In this case, the Bantu tribe will definitely put reducing casualties first, and their fighting spirit may not be strong. Therefore, as long as any proposal related to preserving the Bantu tribe's own strength, it will be able to get most of the support."
Sure enough, just as Du Yuqi guessed, the Bantu tribe's offensive began to slowly weaken, and the situation on the battlefield slowly changed from the Bantu tribe's one-sided attack to a tug-of-war, and then the two sides resumed confrontation, and then entered the stage of cleaning up the battlefield.
Taking this opportunity, Du Yuqi said that he wanted to go to the front line of the battle to see. At this time, with the help of alchemy potions and divine arts, he had saved at least thirty or forty wounded, and his voice was increasing day by day, so his reasonable demands would be met, so he took Xi and others to the battlefield in the west.
***
Soon, a group of people stood on top of the protective wall. It was said that this was the main attack point of the Bantu tribe. You can see the flat ground in front of you, extending to a distance of two or three hundred meters. There should have been residential houses nearby, but now there are only ruins left, which are scattered on the land. There are traces of war everywhere, just like being bombarded by artillery fire in modern wars. These innocent buildings should have been damaged in the tug-of-war and hand-to-hand combat between the two sides.
At this time, the two sides should have an agreement not to attack each other. They are carrying wounded or corpses to their headquarters. Du Yuqi roughly counted them. It seems that the casualties on the Bantu side are more serious.
But strictly speaking, these casualties include a lot of transformed warriors and wild beasts raised by Bantu beast trainers. These can be said to be consumables of war and will not hurt their bones at all.
However, there were no cannon fodders on the Minsk Cathedral side. Strictly speaking, all the cannon fodders had died. So the dead were either Paladins or Ascetics, who were the backbones of the church. These people were loyal to the church and were the backbones themselves. It would take a lot of effort for the church to train one.
To be more precise, every time a person died on the church side, there would be no replacement, as if a bone had been broken. It was heartbreaking. Even if the exchange ratio was five to one or even eight to one, it would still be a huge loss.
At this time, Duize suddenly said:
"Look, there seems to be something wrong on the battlefield."
After hearing what he said, everyone immediately looked over. After a long while, Xicai said:
"You mean, the ice on the ground?"
Dui Ze said:
"That's right! If I remember correctly, there has been no obvious precipitation in the past three days, so the ice on the ground is very wrong."
After hearing what Duize said, everyone looked at the ground at the same time.
Sure enough, the ice layer on the ground suddenly showed a very strange form. From the side close to the ice and snow blockade, a layer of light blue thin ice suddenly spread over, covering the ground closely. At a glance, it was vast and boundless, as if a layer of light blue ocean was wandering.
On the ground near the Minsk Cathedral, most of the area was clean, and even if there was ice, it was only a few pieces occasionally. Looking closely, the two formed a very sharp contrast.
After realizing this, Xi first frowned, then gently pressed her hand on the guardrail next to her, and then she jumped down from it.
The height of the guardrail is enough for ordinary people to break their hands and feet if they fall down, but it is definitely not difficult for Xi. She came to the ground covered with light blue thin ice, and after walking a few steps on it, she frowned and uttered two words:
"Home!"
At this time, the rest of the people also followed up, and when they stood on this light blue thin ice, they immediately understood what Xi meant.
It turned out that after they stood on the thin ice, they immediately felt that their feet were particularly slippery, and they had to be very careful when walking, otherwise they had to be careful not to slip.
This kind of thing may seem like a trivial matter, but in actual combat, it is absolutely a fatal and extremely big thing! Especially for a paladin wearing plate armor, it is like a steel can. Once he loses balance and falls, it is extremely difficult to get up. If it is normal, it is fine. Once such a mistake occurs on the battlefield, it is enough to kill this person a hundred times!
At the same time, even if you are wearing shoes, you can feel the piercing cold emanating from the ice layer under your feet. It won’t take long for your feet to be completely frozen.
The priest who led them here also said with deep feelings:
"Yes, the place covered by this azure barrier is the home of the Bantu tribe."
Du Yuqi pondered:
"The name of this ice layer is the azure barrier?"
The priest nodded and said in grief:
"That's right. It is said that this azure barrier was cast by a strong man from the Bantu tribe. It is very powerful. When our people stand on it, it will not only cause the problem you felt before, but also reduce their ice resistance invisibly. On the contrary, when the Bantu people stand on it, their movement speed will be significantly improved, and ice spells will have corresponding bonuses--------More importantly, hostile barriers cannot coexist, so every time the azure barrier covers one meter in this direction, our sacred barrier will be eroded by one meter!"
And just as he was speaking, the ice layer next to him suddenly burst! This was originally the ruins of a house, and suddenly wood, stone and ice chips flew everywhere, hitting people's faces and causing pain.
If it were an ordinary person, the sharp ice chips would fly around, and I'm afraid that once they landed on a person, it would be a terrible bloody wound, just like a blade scratching. Once they landed on the eyes, throat and other fatal places, they might die directly. ｗｗanh.cm
Then, two huge ice worms emerged from the ruins!
The appearance of these two ice worms is similar to that of centipedes, with a flat body, but without so many legs. The main body of the body is an ice-blue shell, and on both sides of the shell are long brown hairs.
They are divided into a large and a small one, and their width is at least two meters. Once exposed to the ground, although only half of the body is extended out of the ground, it is also two stories high. The mouthparts on the head have two sharp fangs. After appearing, bursts of blue and white ice mist are sprayed out from it. The priest who led the way did not have time to react at all, and was directly frozen into a light blue ice sculpture!
Then, another smaller ice worm leaned down and hit the ice sculpture with its head. This is also their hunting method. The large ice worm is female, responsible for spitting ice mist to freeze the prey.
The reason why the male ice worm is smaller is that its carapace is thicker, its defense is higher, and its fangs are sharper. If the mist of the female ice worm can freeze the prey, then it will be responsible for smashing the prey. If it just slows down the prey, it will use its fangs to pierce and pick up the enemy.
This ice worm is one male and one female, and their fighting style is also one close and one far, which can be said to complement each other.
However, at this time, although Xi was thirty meters away from the priest, he was the first to react. He suddenly rushed over and shouted "Duh"!
At this moment, a giant light golden shield appeared. It was the signature skill of the qigong master: the mind gas shield! Before this thing is broken, no matter how the outside is turned upside down, the people inside will not suffer any harm.
