Surviving in Another Dimension: I Can See Hints - Chapter 8

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Jue looked at Carl and the two soldiers behind him and frowned slightly.

There was an arrow sticking out of Carl’s shoulder and a wound on his right hand. The other two were not any better off. They were covered in blood!

Carl was actually injured!

The arrow wound was the most serious. One could see the bright red flesh being turned out inside.

Wang Jue checked their information.

Carl had two-thirds of his health points left, while the three soldiers still had a third left. They were almost at death’s door!

Previously, Wang Jue had observed the peripherals and the golden hints had revealed that there wasn’t much danger.

Moreover, these soldiers were not weak. They were only exploring the perimeters. How could they encounter such an intense battle?

“What’s with your injuries?”

Wang Jue narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

“Overlord, I have made a few important discoveries during this exploration!

“About 70 miles ahead, there’s a group of roving bandits stationed in a simple camp.

“Every one of them is armed with swords. There is a group of stolid people sitting around the bonfire. I suspect that they are holding onto some refugees.

“I was discovered by their scouts when I was loitering around the perimeter. Then, I was attacked by the archers and warriors in the camp.

“I immediately chose to hide in the forest. After roaming around, I finally escaped their pursuit.

“To be on the safe side, I took the three of them on a long detour before returning to the territory.”

As he spoke, Carl suddenly knelt down on one knee and placed one hand on his chest. He said in frustration,

“Honorable Overlord, I am incapable, please punish me!”

Wang Jue hurried forward to help Carl up.

“Get up and go rest in the straw shed. You can slowly recover your health points there.”

“Datou, bring me two earthen jars.”

Upon hearing him, Datou immediately went to the yard to search around.

Resting in the straw shed could restore 1 HP per hour. It was better than nothing.

At this moment, Datou had already brought the jars and handed them to Wang Jue.

“Come on, let everyone have some. This blood can restore your stamina.”

He had already used up half of the lizard blood he had hunted today.

Wang Jue didn’t feel any heartache.

Carl was a qualified warrior. He had gotten injured while completing the mission he gave.

Therefore, Wang Jue would not neglect him.

No matter how precious the item was, it could not compare to a loyal warrior.

Carl solemnly took the jar.

He did not drink immediately but handed it to his subordinates first.

After drinking it, the soldiers’ conditions visibly improved.

When the construction of the Gushing Spirit Well was completed, the effect would be even better!

Speaking of the Gushing Spirit Well, it would probably be completed tomorrow morning.

At that moment, Carl pulled out the iron sword from his waist and sliced off the shaft of the arrow on his shoulder.

Then, he gritted his teeth and put down the iron sword. With his other hand, he grabbed the tail of the arrow tip and ruthlessly pulled it out from his shoulder.

Immediately, blood poured out.

Karl quickly finished bandaging himself using a piece of white cloth with one hand. The bleeding slowly stopped.

There wasn’t even the slightest groan emitted in this entire process. He only frowned slightly.

At this moment, he picked up the jar and finished the blood in one gulp.

It seems like the soldiers I’ve recruited this time aren’t as simple as they seem!

Wang Jue thought to himself.

He didn’t believe that any random person would be this decisive and resolute. Those that could reach this level were all capable and formidable people!

Wang Jue was thankful for his luck.

“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you, my Lord. It’s just a rough bandaging technique. I’m used to life and death outside.”

After he finished treating his wounds, the soldiers had already reached their limit and had fallen deeply asleep.

Carl sat cross-legged.

Then, he began to report the results of the afternoon’s exploration.

“My Lord, apart from that camp, I also discovered a ruin.”

“Ruin?”

Wang Jue was somewhat puzzled.

Without needing any prompts from Wang Jue, Karl began to explain,

“Those are traces left behind from the Old Era. Although the Old Era is ages ago, there are often many extinct things in the remains. They are extremely precious!”

“I’ve served in the Knight Legion before, and the Legion has explored many of the ruins. Although that ruin is well hidden, I’m sure that it must be one. It’s just that there’s a powerful creature guarding it, and I didn’t dare to go close.

“It’s deep in the forest in the northwest. It’s completely covered by moss.”

At this point, Carl added worriedly,

“That bandit camp is deep in the mountains in the true north. This time, I’ve already alerted them. I wonder if they will send people to search and discover our territory.”

Wang Jue nodded and waved his hand.

“You did great, Carl.”

Wang Jue pondered for a moment before saying,

“We can put the ruin aside for now. There’s no rush.

“As for the bandits, there should be no problem. Seventy miles isn’t a short distance, if they were to discover this place, it would still take several days.”

Wang Jue’s eyes were cold as he coldly said,

“When the time comes, the territory would have become even stronger. I will personally avenge you then.”

The Gushing Spirit Well that was about to be completed. He also had the powerful Elven Arrow and many other treasures.

Wang Jue was confident.

Damn bandits, they actually injured my subordinates.

From the looks of it, that group of bandits have probably occupied the mountain range in the north.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. As Wang Jue’s territory gradually expanded, they would meet sooner or later.

Since he had discovered them earlier, he would be able to make preparations early!

Presently the lizard meat on the stove was already cooked.

Wang Jue took out the roasted lizard meat.

He handed Carl a piece and kept a few more pieces.

Those were for the other soldiers when they woke up.

“Carl, it’s been hard on you. You’ve done well. Rest well tonight.”

Then, Wang Jue stopped Carl from bowing, waved his hand, and walked out of the straw shed.

A loyalty update notification appeared.

[Soldier Carl is touched by your sincerity, Loyalty+10, current Loyalty: 90]

Carl’s loyalty went straight up to 90.

Wang Jue took a glance and closed the notification.

He left a piece of barbecued meat for himself, and the remaining six pieces were just enough for each person.

Datou, Ertou, Santou, they were the first farmers to follow Wang Jue. They were also the most loyal.

Although they appeared to be simple-minded, they were very hardworking.

After Wang Jue distributed the meat, he left 500ml of water for them to share.

He returned to the courtyard.

He pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and walked in.

The small house was only about 40 square meters big.

The furnishings inside were also very simple. There was only a wooden table, a wooden stool, and a bed laid with hay.

Simple, primitive, plain!

Wang Jue sat on a wooden stool and ate the roasted meat bite by bite.

As there was no seasoning, the roast meat lacked flavor.

However, Wang Jue still ate it. Soon, he digested the fist-sized piece of roasted meat in his stomach.

Food was a big problem.

He only had a piece of bread and 600ml water in his food reserve.

Food was a consumable. As the population increased, the demand for food would also increase.

Therefore, the goal of finding food had to be added to his agenda.

Fortunately, there was no need to worry about the water resources now. There were two springs in the Gushing Spirit Well. One was the spiritual spring, and the other was ordinary spring water.

Outside the small courtyard, the echoing roars of wild beasts never subsided.

It was as if there was a beast party outside.

Fortunately, there were soldiers guarding the area, so the ordinary beasts did not dare to come close.

Wang Jue sat in the hut.

He opened the [Chat Channel]..
