I saw a small bump in the skin of Selta's arm moving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the sound of flesh and blood being bitten could be heard clearly.
He screamed and tried to catch the bug that had penetrated his body, but his efforts seemed to be in vain. Wherever he pressed his hand, the bump burrowed into other places, biting the flesh and blood elsewhere.
"Damn! What is this? Take it out!"
Celta shouted in horror. Everyone gathered around, but they were also helpless.
"It's a forceps worm. You can't cure it. Let me do it."
Bogur shouted, he pushed aside the crowd and quickly squatted next to Celta.
"Bite him. I don't have time to give you painkillers. I'm going to take the bug out directly. This will hurt, so bear with it."
As Bogul spoke, he tore off a piece of rag and stuffed it into Serta's mouth. At the same time, he took off the dagger and knife from his waist and began to operate on the infected area.
"Wait! Wait, what are you doing?"
Celta exclaimed, but the next second, his mouth was filled with rags.
"Help me hold him down!"
Bogul shouted loudly. Several guards reacted quickly and instantly held down the barbarian captain's limbs. At the same time, Bogul began to use the knife.
His technique was not very skillful. He was not a surgeon after all, but his movements were very decisive. He first pressed the bump with one hand, and then stabbed the dagger in hard, cutting open the skin on Selta's arm and drawing a line around the bump.
Bloodstains revealed the true form of that hateful insect.
Serta's face was twisted in pain, and he was trembling, but he was pinned to the ground by several soldiers, unable to move. At the same time, Bogul continued to attack. He used tweezers to clamp the still alive little insect.
, then carefully took it out from the muscles of Celta's arm and quickly threw it into the fire.
The flames suddenly shot up, making a crackling sound, and blood burst out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone let go of Celta, and saw the barbarian captain breathing rapidly. He glanced at his wound, which had festered. Some white dirt visible to the naked eye was sticking to the wound.
"what is that?"
"The eggs of the forceps worm. These creatures will put their own crystalline eggs into the blood of infected people. When the eggs grow into larvae, they will freeze the blood, and then they will tear the skin and escape from the human body when the skin becomes black and necrotic.
.”
Bogul gasped and explained. Obviously, the emergency surgery just now also made him a little nervous. Like the person being operated on, Bogul also felt that the tight nerves were slightly relaxed. After all, if the operation just now was slightly wrong,
Shen, he himself is at risk of being infected. Being killed by a bug is not the glory a butcher pursues.
"What now? Can't you take out those eggs too?"
Selta asked breathlessly. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and blood was still flowing from the wound on his arm.
"No way. Do you want me to remove your entire arm? I am not a doctor and cannot solve this problem. Now, I can only bandage the wound. When you get to Dulong City, I will help you find a professional doctor and see him
Is there any way?" Bogul returned angrily, "I told you not to touch the body, because the insect might have crawled along the body and onto your hands."
"Damn it, you found this place. Didn't you know that there are such dangerous ground insects here?"
Celta asked loudly.
"This place has been abandoned for many years. Who knew there would be bloodworms here? Besides, in this wilderness area, it would be good to find a place to take shelter from the wind. If you stay by the fire honestly, you will encounter
To this situation?"
Bogul retorted fiercely, and the smell of gunpowder between the two gradually grew stronger.
At this time, Rhodes stepped forward in time and stopped the two bad-tempered guys from continuing to lose their temper.
"That's enough. Let's bandage it first and wait until we get to Dulong City."
As soon as the lord's order came out, everyone was speechless. The two Norscan warriors began to wrap a bandage on their captain, and the blood quickly dyed the white linen bandage red.
"Wait, maybe I have a way to treat the wound."
When the bandage had just been tied, Caroline suddenly stood up and spoke confidently.
"any solution?"
Rhodes turned around and asked. Everyone was not very reassured by Caroline's method. Wizards are a very unstable profession. If you cast your magic power well, you can get twice the result with half the effort. If you use your magic power improperly, you may hurt your own people. In addition,
The Frost Witch was not a healing profession, so everyone had a big question mark in their minds.
"Use low temperature to freeze and apply cold compress to the wound."
Caroline had just finished speaking, and Celta could already imagine the pain of the wound. It would definitely be more uncomfortable than a knife cut.
He looked at Rhodes, waiting for Rhodes' decision. Selta did not believe in witches, but believed in his own lord. He believed that the person he followed was right.
"What are you going to do?"
Rhodes was a little worried. Caroline was not that reliable...
"First you have to remove the bandage. I will use frost magic to stop the bleeding, and then freeze the wound to kill the eggs. Finally, you may need to use some ice pepper for external application so that the frost magic can last.
Sex plays a role. After all, I can't cast spells all the time."
Although others didn't quite understand Caroline's explanation, Rhodes could roughly understand her thinking. Use cryotherapy to stop bleeding and sterilize and disinfect at the same time. All living things have their own conditions for survival, and neither high nor low temperatures can harm living things.
Survival, and the use of cryotherapy is to eliminate the living environment of the tweezers eggs. This is understandable, but I did not expect that ice pepper has the effect of continuous freezing. It seems that its value is not only the treatment of rat fever.
Rhodes thought.
"Okay, try it. But don't freeze his hands to death."
Rhodes whispered. He turned to look at Celta and nodded to the other party to reassure him.
Soon, the bandage that had just been tied was removed again... Celta had the urge to scold her. You didn't say it just now. You waited until it was tied and then repeated it. Not everyone suffers from this physical pain.
Got it.
Caroline concentrated on using magic. Of course, this was just a very common spell, a small spell. The first lesson for every witch entering the magic academy was almost this - freezing. Like a shower, tiny snowflakes fell from the
The witch sprays it from the palm of her hand and sprinkles it little by little on the infected wound. Since there is no direct contact, there is no need to worry about being infected.
The temperature dropped little by little, and soon the blood was stopped. The entire wound area was frozen black.
Seeing that the treatment process was slow and smooth, Rhodes already knew what his most important trading commodity was during this trip to Dulong City...
