Chapter 702 Sanks

"Roar!!!!!!"

A tremendously deep roar suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.

The noise was unlike anything a living organism could make; it sounded more like the roar of some heavy, large machine or a natural disaster like a landslide, comparable to thunder.

The sound source wasn't far from Milo; he could even see the sound waves rippling through the trees with his naked eye.

When that terrifying sound wave swept over his head, he, who was injured, felt a splitting headache, and the shock went straight to his mind.

But the thunderous roar was quickly drowned out by the indifferent high-altitude space.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

...

Milo stood there and thought seriously for a few seconds.

He originally took the piece of bread or cheese simply to fill his stomach. The Cold Plains jungle is not like the tropics where there are creatures everywhere. It is desolate and monotonous. So far, all the creatures Milo has seen are above him on the food chain. You can imagine how difficult it is for humans to find food in the Cold Plains. It would be bad if a dignified Shadow ended up starving to death.

But the effects of those unassuming, ordinary-tasting dry rations far exceeded Milo's expectations.

Although the taste was bland, it provided Milo with a great deal of energy in a short time and also had a rapid healing effect.

He could clearly feel that the puncture wound in his abdomen and other soft tissue injuries were healing rapidly, leaving only the rib lacerations as a more troublesome issue…

Looking back at the road we came from, we saw the debris scattered all over the ground.

……

So Milo turned back.

He picked up the bits of food he had scattered along the way and ate them all the way back, his actions somewhat shabby.

...

To be honest, without the bits of dry food scattered along the way, Milo might not have been able to accurately find his original location in the dark forest. Even in daylight, almost all the light from the sky is blocked by the dense foliage, and the interior of the forest is generally gray-blue, giving the impression that no matter which direction you look, the scene is exactly the same.

...

Milo's speed isn't fast; in fact, it can be described as slow.

When he reached the original location in the dense forest, the battle was nearing its end.

Although the girl from Xiren said she was going to "lure away" the group of cold spiders, she actually stayed put and fought against many of them.

...

What is the approximate size of an adult cold-weather spider?

The very tip of the last segment of each leg was probably thicker than Milo's thigh.

So even if the Hiyan girl was torn to pieces, Milo wouldn't be surprised.

However, the truth is...

She won.

The fair-skinned, white-haired girl had scattered the remains of cold spiders all over the dense forest, with translucent, purplish-blue, viscous blood from the spiders' bodies everywhere.

Even many tree trunks in the vicinity had been cut down, and Milo only saw this scene by climbing over the piles of fallen trees.

Yes, we won.

But we haven't completely won yet.

In the center of the area covered in flesh and blood, the Greek girl was struggling against the last and largest cold spider.

She was clearly at a disadvantage, her hands gripping the spider's pincers tightly, but the spider had eight legs. Although three or four legs were broken, one of the spider's forelegs still pierced the girl's shoulder, and its hideous mandibles were pressing closer and closer to her neck.

The young girl could almost see her own reflection in the eight dark pupils of the cold spider.

She was still gritting her teeth and persevering, showing no fear whatsoever.

...

Just as the cold spider's ferocious fangs were already slicing open the girl's cheek skin during its swaying motion.

A thin, short limb of a cold spider pierced through the creature's head from bottom to top.

Then came the second, the third, the head, the chest, the abdomen—all these vulnerable areas were taken care of.

This is of course from Milokan.

...

A large amount of filthy mucus gushed from the spider's mouthparts, and it released the girl, struggling frantically!

The girl reacted quickly enough, grabbing the back of Milo's clothes like she was picking up a kitten and flipping over to create distance.

……

The giant cold spider hissed and roared as it scrambled around.

In its final moments, it chose to "crash" a few more trees to accompany it in death.

Finally, like a normal spider in the conscious world, it curled up its eight physically uncomfortable long limbs and quietly died.

...

As for the two survivors...

The Greek girl slumped to the ground, staring at the corpse of the cold spider in the distance, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the thing would not suddenly pounce again.

Meanwhile, Milo had already reached into the girl's backpack, groping for the dry rations he had just retrieved; his purpose was quite clear.

But the Greek girl, regaining her senses, immediately "stopped" him. She did so by grabbing him, lifting him up, and kissing him several times.

"I survived!!! You saved me! Whew!!!"

She seemed very excited.

Milo almost suffocated in those two great blessings.

"You're so amazing, little cutie!"

Around the eleventh or twelfth kiss, Milo's face was almost completely covered in saliva.

"Waaaaah..."

He seized the opportunity to speak.

But then the Greek girl suddenly rolled her eyes back: "Uh—"

Then, her whole body went limp, and she fell face-first to the ground, completely burying Milo and nearly breaking a few more of his ribs.

It's the cold spider's venom taking effect.

……

...

Milo could clearly feel the Greek girl's body temperature rising rapidly, or rather, fluctuating wildly, sometimes icy cold and sometimes scorching hot.

It's probably beyond saving.

With that thought in mind, he finally managed to push the giant girl off him with great effort.

Milo glanced back at the dark purple veins gradually appearing on the guy's fair cheek, and just as he sighed, he heard a loud, forceful snoring sound coming from beside his feet...

"Huff... pant... huff... pant... ~~~"

"..."

Then he realized that the poisoned girl wasn't dead, but rather...

"Did he fall asleep?"

...

……

The dense forest is located near the lowest-lying area of ​​the cold plains.

A little further up, you'll find caves filled with rock formations. They're a good hiding place and currently the only safe place, since the dense forest is still the territory of the Cold Spiders. Further down, you'll enter the range of the Inganok giants.

Do you know how difficult it is for a seriously injured little cutie to carry a Hirano female warrior up halfway up a mountain?

This is definitely the heaviest woman Milo has ever carried... not counting the judo throw disaster.

...

Time comes the next day.

Inside the cave halfway up the mountain.

The Greek girl suddenly sat up as if she had risen from the dead.

At this point, her complexion had completely returned to normal, and her wounds had mostly healed. Some minor abrasions on her skin hadn't even left a mark.

As she looked around in bewilderment, Milo was sitting by the campfire near the cave entrance, chewing on the dry rations he had scavenged from the girl's backpack. He seemed to be in much better condition than before, and had even washed off the bloodstains all over his body. It seemed that the Greek girl didn't recognize Milo at first glance.

...

She staggered to her feet and walked towards Milo, crouching down to sniff his head. Only then did she confirm that this was indeed yesterday's little darling. Then, noticing the dry rations Milo was holding, her lips twitched, revealing a mixture of embarrassment and strangeness.
"You...how could you eat my food...how could you steal other people's food?"

Milo didn't stop, smacking his lips as he ate with gusto.

Well, it doesn't actually smell very good, but this stuff is very effective, and there really isn't anything else to eat.

He calmly said, "Don't worry, I left you two bites, I didn't eat it all... Why are you blushing?"

The Greek girl scratched her frizzy white hair, but these unnecessary movements did little to hide her embarrassment: "No, I didn't."

"But I still want to thank you for bringing me back!"

As he spoke, he forcefully kissed Milo on the cheek again.

Milo had basically come to regard this as a traditional custom of their people, and even when his face was covered in saliva, he barely stopped eating, asking questions as he ate:
"Have you Greeks always been this unrestrained?"

"The Hiyans...yes, that's always been the case. Otherwise, how do you Inganok people express goodwill?" The girl nodded repeatedly, then asked curiously.

“Like this.” Milo licked his hands, which were covered in crumbs of dry rations, clean, then extended them in a handshake gesture: “Milo Valrocan.”

The Greek girl tilted her head first.

Then, imitating Milo, he licked his palm and then grabbed Milo's hand:

Freya Sanks.

...

"Um, actually, it's not necessary..."

"Nothing is needed?"

"Forget it, it's okay."
