Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages-Chapter 164 - Exhausting One’s Strength
164 Exhausting One’s Strength
“No, I’m a working student. I’m from the Black Tiger Gang in Elf City. Have you heard of it?”
“Of course I know, City Defense Army. As a working student, you advanced to Class 2 in less than a year? You’re very powerful. I remember that I only advanced to Class 2 when I was almost 17 years old. You shouldn’t have learned Purification and healing techniques. These two skills will seriously slow down your advancement speed.”
Doreen untied the string that bound her hair and ran her hands through it as she looked out of the car window.
The white cloth-covered window was imprinted with the flames outside, flickering as the flames swayed.
“If my brother is still alive, he should be about the same age as you. He worked hard when he was young. He insisted on running every day and said that he would become a Ranger in the future and be a brave scout. You don’t know, but when he ran, he was very funny. Hahaha, his head swayed. Hahaha, haha… Wuwuwu…”
Doreen laughed until she started to cry. She covered her face with her hands and looked up at the roof of the car to steady her breathing.
Fang Ping sat at the side and looked at her without saying a word.
“Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time really flies. The leader of your Black Tiger Gang, Black Tiger, is really bold.”
Doreen’s change of topic made Fang Ping feel a little strange. Were the two related?
Nine years ago?
The timeline seemed a little familiar.
Fang Ping recalled that before leaving the Elf City, Hedge from the Black Tiger Gang had looked for him and told him why Black Star was unwilling to admit that he was a member of the Black Tiger Gang.
Hedge talked about the battle that broke out nine years ago because the nobles canceled.
The Elf City was surrounded by the private soldiers of the nobles. Due to the lack of troops, all the Professionals were forced to participate in the battle. The nobles sent people to infiltrate the city and captured a large number of civilians, threatening the Professionals in the city. As long as they participated in the battle, they would kill these civilians.
Among them was Black Star’s mother.
Doreen had mentioned this, so could her brother be one of these captured civilians?
“You have to work hard. You’re still young. Use less Purification and healing techniques. Your energy increase is more important. Only when your strength increases can you protect the people you want to protect. When that time comes, it will be easier to earn money.”
Fang Ping nodded lightly. “Okay.”
When Fu Sheng returned, Fang Ping took a look at the three people lying on the ground. They seemed to be in a stable condition. There should not be any major problems.
“Their condition is quite stable. As long as the healing potion can match the special characteristics, they won’t die. I still have healing spells. You should go back, Fu Sheng. Have you informed Captain James about the situation?”
“Yes, Captain James sent someone to get the money.”
Since they said so, it should be fine. Fang Ping stood up, bowed to Doreen, and walked out of the carriage.
The carriage was still moving slowly forward. There was no coachman. The two horses pulled the carriage forward alone.
For two horses to be able to pull such a huge carriage, they were really strong. As expected of creatures who ate energy fragments. Their stamina was indeed good.
Captain James’ blue armor stood out next to him. Fang Ping saluted him. He nodded and took out a small cloth bag from his pocket.
“Excellent-grade purification.”
Fang Ping nodded. “Yes.”
James shook the money bag, then tossed it to Fang Ping. “You’re also an anomaly in the team. You actually learned Purification and Healing. There’s thirty silver coins inside. Double the usual price.”
Fang Ping took the bulging sack and beamed. He was rich again.
30 silver coins was 90,000 copper coins. This money was really easy to earn.
James looked at Fang Ping’s expression and continued, “You’re a member of the Elite team. Chief Su of Department Su has high hopes for you. Don’t waste your energy for this bit of money. When you become a high-grade Professional, earning money will be easy. Do you want to become a powerhouse, or are you just a healer in the treatment center?”
Fang Ping kept the cloth bag and thought, ‘Then don’t look for me, okay?’
“Okay. Thank you, Captain James.”
He still had to put on a front.
James waved his hand, and the cavalry accelerated from a short distance away.
“Send him back.”
“Yes.”
This time, Fang Ping knew. He took the initiative to jump onto the warhorse and sit behind it.
He didn’t want to get smoked sitting in front.
After sending Fang Ping back to the team, the cavalry turned around and left, disappearing into the darkness.
The round trip did not take too much time. Fang Ping’s team continued on their way. They were still surrounded by the same straight cave, as if nothing had happened.
It was just that Fang Ping’s energy had dropped by another 200 points, falling back to 2,000 points. After going up and down several times, it was still hovering around 2,000 points.
Fang Ping was more than willing to exchange two hundred energy points for thirty silver coins.
“Fang Ping, how are the Lord’s Guards? Are they doing well?”
Qing Niao next to him handed over his backpack and asked.
Fang Ping put on his backpack and thought about it. “I feel like there are quite a lot of people missing. I didn’t look closely, but I’m just guessing. It’s not much better. After all, so many wild beasts have died.”
“This cave is so deep. I wonder if there will be any more accidents. I hope not.”
“Me too.”
He continued walking. By the time Fang Ping felt hungry for the second time, it was probably night time.
As he ate the yellow melon pancake, Fang Ping looked ahead. The scenery was unchanged.
Fang Ping was now certain that this straight cave was definitely not formed naturally.
The same height, the same semicircular arc. At such a long distance, the error was terrifyingly small.
Digging out such a passageway would definitely consume a lot of manpower and resources.
Was it done by humans in the past? Was there a human city on Snowy Mountain?
...
However, Fang Ping knew nothing.
…
By the time Fang Ping was tired, the people around him were also carrying their backpacks. After walking for an entire day, they only looked a little tired.
Fang Ping’s eyelids twitched as he looked at them. ‘Did you guys train in the army? Why are you so fierce?’
This was Fang Ping’s third sip of the Tranquil Sun Ginseng water today. His body’s fatigue had disappeared, but his mental fatigue was difficult to eliminate.
There was also a bottle of Energy Potion that Hedge had given him. However, according to him, the side effects of this potion was very strong. Fang Ping had never wanted to try it.
He was so sleepy.
…
“James, we’re almost out of the cave.”
“I know. I don’t know if these beasts are crazy, but they’re completely suicidal.
Moreover, there are so many types. They should have gathered the strength of many races. Since the journey is so calm, we will definitely encounter them at the exit.”
...
“I’ll go out first and disrupt their formation. Then you’ll charge out with the cavalry. They definitely won’t expect us to be so fast.”
“Ivan, isn’t this too risky? If the beasts are already prepared and you are controlled by multiple skills, it will be equally dangerous.”
“Haha, danger? Among the dangers I encounter, this is not worth mentioning.”
Ivan was sitting in the carriage, wearing a full set of armor and wrapping strips around his arms. Beside him were two super-large gauntlets.
