My eyes were bloodshot. Although I hadn't known them for too long and had been suspicious of them before, to me, they were companions I couldn't find here.
If they were killed by savages here, I would probably feel guilty for the rest of my life.
Moreover, it was absolutely impossible for me to abandon my companions and escape alone!
I gripped the shovel in my hand tightly, "Rest here peacefully!"
After speaking, I charged towards the savages.
I wasn't sure what my combat power was right now, but no matter what, I would never give up so easily.
The shovel in my hand swung wildly, and soon, the shovel broke.
I fought bare-handed, launching wave after wave of attacks at the savages.
My mind was blank; I knew nothing but to attack, with faster speed and greater strength.
At this moment, a fiery warmth spread from my chest.
For a moment, my entire body seemed to have reached a different state.
The feeling of being filled with strength returned once more.
I stopped thinking about anything else and launched wave after wave of frenzied attacks at the savages.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, which was nauseating.
But I automatically ignored these things, only wanting to defeat the enemies before me.
At one point, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I spun around and saw Richard and Vishi staring at me with wide eyes.
And beside me, countless savage corpses had already piled up.
"Lu!" Richard said weakly, "That's enough... it's enough..."
It was then that I realized something was off.
Looking down, my entire body felt like it was burning, my skin was flushed red.
My body was covered in blood, and I couldn't tell if it was theirs or mine.
But this feeling suddenly made me feel an inexplicable fear.
During the battle just now, I had completely forgotten myself, focusing all my strength on combat.
Moreover, I had no idea how many savages I had killed.
Vishi also stared at me in shock, unable to recover for a long time.
He opened his mouth several times, wanting to speak but no sound came out.
"Sorry," I said, my body trembling slightly.
But I didn't feel weak at all. Could this be the power of the Shepherd God?
"You saved us... Thank you!" Vishi finally said after a long while.
I looked towards the entrance; no more savages were coming in. I didn't know if it was because I had killed them all, or because they were scared and had left.
But one thing was certain: our warriors were safe.
Thinking of this, I quickly ran to Richard and Vishi, "How are you? Are you alright?" I asked.
Vishi lay on the ground, his chest heaving, indicating that he was indeed very tired.
And he was covered in wounds. Richard was the same, his body covered in gruesome gashes.
"We should be alright," Vishi said, reaching for a bottle of red wine nearby and taking a large gulp.
Richard was the same, lying weakly on the ground, his face pale.
"Can that lake water from before heal wounds?" I asked.
"No..." Richard smiled. "It's okay, we just need to rest..."
Hearing this, I finally felt relieved.
We sat there for a long time, and only after confirming that we could walk did we leave the underground cave.
Outside, it was a mess. Pits dug by the savages were everywhere.
It seemed those guys had indeed followed the scent of blood and found this place, but they weren't sure of the exact location, so they had scoured the entire surrounding area.
"These guys are ruthless!" Richard gritted his teeth.
"Let's go back," Vishi said. "We need to recover too."
I glanced around; there were no savages in sight, so I followed the vehicle back to the village.
The village was also in ruins. The villagers were crying out loud, wailing.
Many were seriously injured, but not a single person had died. They should be able to recover completely in a short time.
At this moment, I even had a premonition that the savages didn't really intend to kill all the villagers when they attacked.
Now, it seemed that what Richard had said was true.
Back in the room, Vishi took out a bottle containing that liquid.
Without a word, Vishi took a sip, and then a faint green light enveloped his body.
The injuries on his body healed at a visible speed.
I also took a sip, and a gentle power flowed into every corner of my body. The previous pain and wounds quickly healed.
Just as I was about to praise it, I suddenly heard a voice from the side.
I turned to look, and Richard's face was extremely grim.
