Chapter 11: End

"Pat."

The heavy two-handed axe fell straight to the ground, the metal axe blade colliding with the cave floor, making a crisp sound.

Whoosh—

Xia Nan panted heavily.

The strong enemy was dead, and the fatigue and pain that were originally suppressed by highly concentrated attention also surged like a tide.

Even though the upgrade brought him two attribute points, the current situation of his body being exhausted could not be changed.

Relying on the explosion brought by the attribute point improvement to kill the Bugbear with all his strength was already his limit.

If another monster of the same strength level came at this time, with his current state, I'm afraid there was no possibility of winning.

Spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, he touched his chest.

That was the position he was hit by the Bugbear's arm during the battle.

The pain remaining on the skin and flesh was gradually decreasing with the passage of time.

"Shouldn't have hurt the bones, right?" Xia Nan rejoiced in his heart.

Otherwise, with the technology level of this world close to the Middle Ages, he didn't know how to treat it.

Thinking again, after all, it is a fantasy world possessing supernatural powers, perhaps possessing some kind of scroll recording healing magic, or a Priest similar to controlling healing holy light?

"Xia... Xia Nan..."

A weak and powerless call suddenly came from his ear.

Xia Nan, who had just extricated himself from the combat state, finally realized that besides himself, there was one person alive on the field.

At this moment, Maji's appearance was extremely tragic.

One calf was smashed to pieces, bone fragments were pierced out, and the knee was left with only a little skin and flesh, as if it were the rudimentary joint of that kind of cheap puppet in the market;

His face was pale, his two moving lips were bloodless, if it weren't for his eyes that still retained a little spirit, and his body that was slightly trembling due to intense pain, to some extent, he actually looked no different from those Goblins who had already become corpses.

"In the waist bag, red potion, help me..."

As if his consciousness had gradually dissipated, Maji said with difficulty, intermittently.

The other party was the only remaining official member of the Scum squad, a teammate who had experienced a life-and-death battle together, and an old hunter who knew the way out of the Mist Forest.

As a modern person who had received higher education and had relatively normal values and a certain level of morality, no matter from which angle, Xia Nan could not see death without saving.

So he squatted down and found a small bottle from the other party's waist bag according to the position Maji pointed out.

Glass-packed, shaped like a test tube in a laboratory, with a dark brown wooden stopper sealed at the top;

Inside the glass bottle was about one-third of red liquid, which was obviously used many times, and emitted a faint light when shaken hard.

Although the other party didn't explain what it was specifically, the strong sense of déjà vu it brought made Xia Nan guess its general function at a glance.

"Healing Potion?" Xia Nan helped Maji pull out the wooden stopper on the glass bottle. "Internal or external?"

"Drink..." Maji nodded and opened his mouth. "All of it."

Hearing this, Xia Nan didn't ask any more questions and poured all the healing potion into the other party's mouth.

I don't know if he saw it wrong, but he vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a hint of heartache in Maji's eyes.

As if this kind of basic material widely distributed in various games and novels in his previous life was incomparably precious.

And immediately after, Xia Nan learned the reason why the other party showed such an expression.

Almost the moment Maji's Adam's apple rolled and the potion entered his abdomen.

His face, which was originally pale due to excessive blood loss, instantly became rosy, and the focus of his pupils re-condensed.

The wound stopped bleeding, and the chest that was heaving violently due to difficulty in breathing gradually eased.

The magical effect was like filming a movie.

And just when Xia Nan thought that Maji could be fully resurrected by relying on this small half-bottle of potion.

Everything stopped abruptly.

The broken bones did not return to their positions, and the calf still maintained a twisted state.

Obviously, although the effect of this kind of healing potion had greatly exceeded his expectations, it had not reached the level of limb regeneration.

Probably, it could heal most minor injuries and provide some relief for severe injuries?

"Okay, okay." After drinking the potion, Maji was like a drowning person finally swimming out of the water, breathing heavily the turbid air in the cave. "Thank you... thank you."

Although his face was full of sweat brought by pain, his voice was no longer weak.

"You go clean up the battlefield first." He took out a few rolls of bandages from his waist bag. "I can handle the rest myself."

According to the adventurer's unspoken rules introduced to him by Maji before, when cleaning up the battlefield, except for parts with clear killers like Goblin ears, other gains belonged to the discoverer.

The other party letting him clean up the battlefield actually almost explicitly stated—

The gains in the Goblin nest all belonged to Xia Nan.

Although he understood in his heart that if it weren't for the assist of Maji's two arrows, even if he broke through on the spot, he might not be the Bugbear's opponent.

But since the other party had clearly expressed it, he wouldn't be hypocritical there.

Nodding slightly to Maji, he walked towards the other side of the cave.

Unlike the mechanism in various games where a treasure chest would automatically appear after you finish the dungeon, or you could touch a pile of items from the monster's corpse with a light click of the mouse.

The collection of trophies in the real world is much more troublesome.

First, for those Goblin corpses:

The bounty is only for adult individuals, so he ruthlessly sent the five green-skinned cubs to see their beast father;

Skillfully stepping on their heads, he cut off the left ears of the four Goblins in turn and put them into the pocket behind him.

Then it was a detailed search.

The cave was not big, and its internal furnishings were almost clear at a glance, but holding the psychology of maximizing benefits, Xia Nan still carried a torch and searched the ground carpet-style, with some gains.

Excluding those things that were not convenient to carry and had no value, the following were the trophies Xia Nan collected from the Goblin nest:

Three light green opaque gemstones with stripes, a small wooden round shield whose surface was slightly damp and moldy, and a small bag of coins (weighed it, a bit heavy, but mostly silver and copper coins).

"I don't know if these few stones are worth any money?"

Xia Nan pondered in his heart.

At the same time, Maji also handled his wounds.

"How is it, are you all packed up?" He leaned against the wall and stood up with some difficulty.

The calf that was originally twisted out of shape had been simply fixed by him with wooden sticks and bandages, and although movement was still difficult, it would not lead to aggravation of the injury.

"Almost, searched twice."

Xia Nan replied.

"Twice? You missed the most important thing."

Maji's gaze was somewhat playful, and he gestured towards the direction of the Bugbear's corpse.
