Chapter 28 Serious Injury
It was four or five days after Ge regained consciousness.
At this time, he was lying on his bed at home, his body covered with bandages and fixations, looking miserable and half-dead.
This is indeed the most serious injury he has suffered since becoming a hunter.
After careful examination by the village doctor, he found that he had more than ten fractures all over his body. The lacerations on his back healed very slowly due to residual toxins. The skin on his back was burned in many places. His lungs were infected due to choking in river water, and his internal organs were also injured due to the violent impact. Certain displacement.
It can be said that it is no small miracle that he survived successfully.
After falling into the river that day, he and Pig Pork were swept out for nearly two kilometers. Most of the bruises and fractures all over their bodies were caused at that time.
Had it not been for the fact that there happened to be a relatively gentle river bend not far downstream, and he and Pig Chop were washed ashore, they might have drowned at that time.
When he was washed ashore, Gordon had already fallen into a deep coma. Fortunately, Pig Chop was still conscious. It sent a rescue signal in time, summoned the Ellu tribe living nearby, and transported the two of them out of the mountains.
When the seriously injured Gordon was sent back to Kokot Village, the instructors and others were frightened.
Even the old dragon village chief, who always looked like he was suffering from senile dementia, came over personally to check his injuries.
The only good thing is that this guy's body bones are strong enough, and although the injury was serious, it didn't leave any irreversible damage.
Just to ensure perfect healing of the bones, one must stay in bed for a full month.
Recovery drugs can indeed greatly speed up this process, but excessive use of recovery drugs is likely to cause proliferation and dislocation during bone healing.
So, what should be rested should still be rested.
While lying in bed recovering from his injuries, Gordon became somewhat silent.
He failed the mission, was defeated miserably by the Fire Dragon, and almost lost his life if his partner Zhu Bao hadn't saved him desperately, which all devastated him.
It is actually very common among hunters for their personality to change drastically after a mission fails. Not everyone can successfully escape from the shadow of fear of death.
Too many hunters have since put down their weapons, or have lost the courage to continue challenging powerful monsters, and have become a life-long "gatherer hunter".
As Gordon's instructor, Ernest naturally had similar worries, but after hesitation, he chose not to interfere much.
Even if the former gives up being a hunter, he won't be angry. People who enter the hunting grounds without awareness are seeking death, and this kind of "enlightenment" cannot be poured out with just two sentences of chicken soup.
Whether you can regain your courage can only depend on the person concerned.
However, it turned out that Ernest's worries were unnecessary.
On the first day he could get out of bed, Gordon came to Pig Chop on crutches and solemnly apologized to it for his previous recklessness.
Subsequently, he came to the instructor's home and seriously reflected on and reviewed his mistakes.
He knew very well that if the instructor hadn't repeatedly ordered him to bring antidotes and flash bombs before the mission, he didn't know how many times he would have died.
As for giving up being a hunter, Gordon had never even thought about it.
Rather, at this time, his desire to become stronger was as high as ever.
“Fire Dragon, just wait, that day won’t be long.”
More than a month has passed by in a hurry.
Gordon stretched his waist comfortably, while Pork Chop shook his body, throwing water droplets everywhere.
The injuries suffered in the battle with the Fire Dragon have fully recovered, and Gordon can even feel that his physical fitness has improved a lot compared to a month ago.
Is this what is called breaking and then building?
After taking a cold shower, Gordon returned to his room. There was a brand new set of armor hanging on the humanoid rack next to the storage box. He stepped forward, touched the shiny alloy armor, and then Wear the armor on your body.
The original Blue Velociraptor suit was seriously damaged in the Breath Attack of the Fire Dragon, and it has lost the meaning of repair.
So, under the advice of his instructor, he placed an order with the workshop to create this new equipment called the "Refined Ore Set".
The materials of the new suit are mainly earth crystals, iron ore, lanchite and other mineral materials. With a small amount of blue velociraptor skin, the overall defense is at the same level as the blue velociraptor suit.
However, due to the use of a large amount of metal materials, the weight of the refined ore suit is also heavier than that of the Blue Velociraptor suit. Fortunately, with Gordon's current physical fitness, this weight is not a burden.
He was very satisfied to be able to use existing stock materials to create such excellent equipment.
As for why he needs to equip himself with armor now, it's because the instructor told him seriously this morning that he should go to the village chief's house after completing the training. It seemed that he had something very important to say.
Just like the big shots in the city always wear new robes when gathering, Gordon felt that to show that he mattered, he also had to wear new armor.
Well, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to find a reason to try new equipment.
He arrived at the village chief's house fully armed, and sure enough, instructor Ernest was also here.
The instructor and the village chief were speechless looking at Gordon's covered body outside the door, but they didn't say much. There were too many hunters who were accustomed to wearing armor as regular clothes.
“Come in quickly. Oh, by the way, put the blasting knife at the door. Don’t collapse the floor of the village chief’s house.” Ernest scolded with a smile.
Gordon scratched his head, put down his weapon, stepped on the creaky floor, and walked into the village chief's house.
Two strong men and a skinny old man sat down around a small low table less than half a meter high. This scene looked a bit funny.
The instructor glanced at the village chief, who was swaying and looking like he was about to fall asleep. He sighed, took the initiative to start the conversation, and said, "Gordon, you are almost an adult, right?"
Gordon was stunned when he heard this, but he still nodded and responded: "Yeah, yes, I will be eighteen next month."
The instructor was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "That's right, that kid who was clamoring to be a hunter back then is now a big guy who is taller than me."
Gordon blinked, not understanding what the instructors meant.
"It's my problem. I always feel that you are not mature enough and are a fledgling that can't fly alone, so I keep you tied to the nest." The instructor continued to talk to himself.
"Instructor?" Gordon said cautiously, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange.
As if he had finally made up his mind, the instructor suddenly raised his head. He stared into Gordon's eyes and said, "Gordon, you are a very talented guy and willing to work hard. I firmly believe that your future achievements will depend on me." above."
Have never heard an instructor praise himself so frankly, Gordon was a little at a loss.
Before he could say anything, the instructor continued: "But Kokot Village is too small and too remote. There are not many tasks that can be assigned, and most of them are either gathering mushrooms or hunting raw meat. Even a few people who rely on It is difficult to find two-star missions on the spectrum, and you may not even receive one three-star mission in a month.
Looking back now, what you said at that time, "I want to see what a fire dragon looks like" was probably just an excuse. If you had more more suitable choices at that time, you wouldn't have chosen the task of stealing the fire dragon egg. "
Gordon twitched his lips. He really went there just for excitement. Now he has to tell the truth.
Will you be beaten by the instructor?
It’s better not to say much now.
