Seeing Gru faint at her feet, Margaret was stunned. She wanted to help Gru up, but a gust of wind blew from Gru's direction. A smell of mud rushed into her nose, and she stopped.
Lauder, who had clearly seen all of this from the side, hurriedly bent down and carried Gru to the side.
Margaret heaved a sigh of relief. She seemed to be glad, but also seemed to be dissatisfied.
Lauder quickly checked Gru on the ground and returned to Margaret's side. His expression was no longer as serious as before.
"Miss, he's mainly overworked. Although he's a little injured, it's not a big problem. He'll be fine as long as he has a good rest. But it's still not suitable for him to fight these few days, otherwise it'll have an adverse effect on his spirit power.”
"Oh."
Margaret answered casually as she fixed her hair that was blown away by the wind.
Seeing that Margaret was absent-minded, Lauder did not say anything more. He took out a few clean white cloths, a few bottles of medicine, and a small bottle of water, and started to treat Gru's wounds.
After a while, Lauder returned to Margaret's side.
"Done?"
"Yes, I am. The little one had already cleaned his wound and bandaged it up. He had also given him a sleeping pill. Please tell him what to do next.”
"Mary and the others should be here soon. Let's wait for them.”
"Yes."
After a few simple words, Margaret fell into deep thought again.
After thinking for a while, Margaret seemed to have made up her mind and walked towards the swamp. Lauder hurriedly followed closely behind her. Margaret walked to the edge of the swamp and looked at the puddles of dirty water. Her eyes kept flickering, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Lauder."
"Yes."
"I still can't take this step.”
"Miss, if it were a villain, he would not be willing to jump into this stinky pond for no reason.”
Lauder said after some thought.
"Not to mention that Young Lady has a precious body. However, I believe that when it is really necessary, Miss will jump in without hesitation.”
"You really know how to flatter."
Margaret couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't think I can muster up such courage no matter what.”
"I'm sincere."
Lauder said respectfully.
"Forget it. I can't win against you. You always think that I'm omnipotent.”
Margaret turned around and walked up the hill.
After more than an hour, Mary and Daley appeared in their field of vision. When the two who had rushed over saw Gru lying on the ground, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"You guys are here."
Seeing that the two of them had safely appeared in front of her, Margaret heaved a sigh of relief.
"Let's rest for a while and return to the village. It's getting late.”
The two exhausted people immediately sat down to regulate their breathing and entered a meditative state. Margaret and Lauder quietly guarded by the side.
When the two of them opened their eyes, the sun was already leaning toward the west.
The four of them took one last look at the grass and walked back to the village. Mary led the way, Margaret was in second place, Lauder carried Gru on his back and walked in third place, and Daley was at the back of the team.
Looking at the young lady flying in the fog, Daley felt as if he was walking in a dream.
Suddenly, a series of rustling sounds came from the front, and the team stopped in their tracks. Daley and the other two quickly moved to Maria's side.
After a while, a huge python leaped towards the four of them, and two figures followed closely behind it.
"Friend in front, please help me intercept it!”
Seeing the team standing in front of them, one of the people chasing them shouted in surprise.
The four of them focused their attention and looked. It turned out that they were two of the warriors who had gone to collect medicinal herbs. They were probably here to collect the snake gall of the striped python.
Lauder turned his body to the side and handed the person in his arms to Madam Mary. Daley rushed up from behind him and twisted his body. His longsword stabbed at the python's eyes from a strange angle. It was a sword technique he had comprehended from Miss's book.
The giant python shrank back and turned its body, thinking that it had dodged the sword. However, Daley's arm unexpectedly twisted in a strange direction as if it had no bones, and the sword stabbed into the giant python's body.
The python, in pain, stuck out its tongue and pounced towards Daley, only to discover that there was a man in full armor on the other side, shining with dazzling golden light. He was using his hand as a spear and stabbing fiercely towards him.
The python quickly retreated, thinking that it could not take the attack. However, it was entangled by two people who had rushed over. One of them was the burly man who was willing to pay the reward for Glis.
The burly man held a large axe, and his body kept moving in the midst of the python's attacks. He dodged all of the python's attacks by the skin of his teeth, but he always paused when he turned from defense to attack, allowing the python to escape danger many times. His companion had clearly just advanced not long ago, so he could only restrain the python's movements from the side.
"Sword!"
Margaret, who was standing on the tip of the spear, looked at it for a while and shook her head. Her entire body lit up with a bright golden light, and the spear under her feet gradually bent.
Daley did not hesitate and threw the sword in his hand at Margaret.
Margaret grabbed the sword with her backhand and flew forward with the rebound of the spear. She spun in the air like an arrow leaving the bow and pounced on the python.
Although he had seen it several times, Lauder's body still couldn't help but tremble slightly every time he saw this attack.
The python knew that it could not withstand this attack. It could not care less about the attacks of the surrounding enemies and fled desperately.
The flying Margaret lowered her sword, drew a beautiful arc, and stabbed towards the python.
With a swoosh, the python was pierced through the heart by the sword and nailed to the ground. The python twisted its body in pain and kept whipping the ground, while Margaret had already used the momentum to flip back into the air. She grabbed the spear that Lauder handed over, lowered the tip of the spear, and stabbed it into the ground.
From beginning to end, Margaret's feet never touched the ground.
Although Daley and Madam Mary were also tempted, they had seen it before and could barely control their emotions. The other two warriors were already stunned.
"This kind of attack that turns into an arrow and is like a celestial being from beyond the heavens, is it really something that a human can do?”
With a bang, the python that was wriggling on the ground finally stopped struggling and stopped breathing. Daley quickly drew his sword and retreated to Margaret's side.
At this moment, the two warriors finally regained their senses.
"Thank you for your help, Miss."
The warrior cupped his hands respectfully.
"Sir is too polite."
said Margaret with a smile.
"If the two of you hadn't exhausted it, I wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily.”
The burly man opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. He could only laugh at himself and bow again. Then, he and his companions dragged the python and followed behind the team.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the night gradually enveloped the entire swamp.
