Chapter 527 Dungeon exploration (7)

After making sure that all of the roots had been cut out, I turned to one of the elves and said, "Can you cast healing magic on him? Make sure to close up the wounds."

The elves looked at me with looks of terror when they saw me looking at them which made me feel very strange.

I looked at the others and found that they were looking at me with the same look.

Still, I ignored them in the end and wiped the sweat off my face with my free hand before patting the knight and saying, "You're fine now. Just get patched up and you'll be fine."

The knight didn't hear me since he had already passed out from the pain and shock.

Even with how strong he was, he wasn't able to endure all of this in the end.

I didn't care as I stood up and walked to the next patient.

But before I could, Cecilia suddenly came forward to stop me.

I thought that she was going to stop me since she was worried about me, but it turned out that this wasn't the case. Instead of stopping me, she just simply raised a handkerchief for me.

I was confused at first until I realized what it was for.

It was simply because I was covered in blood.

It wasn't my own blood, but the blood of the knight.

When I wiped my hand on my face earlier, the blood that had been on my hand had also been smeared on my face. With blood all over me like this, it really created a terrifying image that people couldn't help giving strange looks towards.

That was why everyone had looked at me like that earlier.

So I took it with an awkward smile and then wiped my face and the other parts of my body smeared with this blood. Once the blood was off, Cecilia actually pulled me to the next patient.

I said with a nod, "I'm fine, just a bit tired."

Cecilia still had a concerned look on her face as she asked, "What should we do now? Do we leave this place?"

I said with a shake of my head, "No, there's no need to leave. We can just rest up in this area."

Cecilia immediately wanted to say something, but I cut her off by saying, "Just gather the mushroom corpses and place them in a boundary around us. It'll stop the monsters from coming over."

It had taken a long time to cure all of them and during this time, it wasn't as if monsters would stop attacking us. So there were monsters that charged at our line this whole time and the others had been pushing them back.

During this, I had noticed that the monsters that approached us seemed to avoid the corpses of the mushroom monsters on the ground.

It was as if they were afraid of them.

Cecilia looked at me with a doubtful look, but as if to prove my point, there were several monsters that suddenly came over.

It was the same slimes that we had fought before.

It would be easy for the adventurers to deal with them, but I said, "Just bring the mushroom monster corpses over and you'll see for yourself."

Cecilia still looked at me with a look of doubt, but she chose to do it in the end.

She had a few of the adventurers bring the mushroom monster corpses over to form a line in front of these slimes.

The adventurers looked like they didn't want to do it, but when Cecilia wanted something done, they only had a single choice.

So the adventurers could only grumble a bit before picking up the mushroom monster corpses and bringing them forward. The way that they held the corpses made it clear that they were afraid of being infected by touching these corpses, but that couldn't be blamed on them.

In the end, they were able to bring the mushroom monster corpses forward to form a line in front of the slimes.

When the slimes encountered this line, they...
