Seeing the Icewing Hound return, Die'er released her grip on Su Yang's hand, took the herbs the Icewing Hound had brought back, and asked Lin Anlan to find a flat stone. She then crushed the herbs in order, mixed them together, and applied them to Su Yang's wound.

Lin Anlan lifted Su Yang's torn clothes, revealing a horrific sword wound on his chest, starting from Su Yang's right shoulder and ending at his left rib. It was the wound inflicted by the earth elemental saint knight named Isaac. Perhaps because Su Yang had learned earth element, the wound had stopped bleeding. Die'er, holding the prepared herbs, said to Su Yang, "It hurts a bit, bear with it."

She immediately applied the herbs to the sword wound and slowly spread them evenly. Su Yang gritted his teeth and endured the pain, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge. It seemed that he had used too much force, and the wound that had stopped bleeding burst open again, with blood gushing out from the burst wound. Lin Anlan hurriedly told Die'er to be gentle, and she frantically tried to stop the bleeding with her clothes.

After Die'er finished applying the medicine, Su Yang's lips turned white from the pain. Lin Anlan saw that the bleeding from the reopened wound couldn't be stopped and finally burst into tears. Her soft sobs gradually turned into loud wailing. Die'er couldn't bear to listen anymore, so she patted Lin Anlan and said, "Why are you crying? Can't you see that he's stopped bleeding now?"

Lin Anlan looked up and saw that Su Yang's wound had indeed stopped bleeding. Moreover, the blackened wounds that had been treated with herbs were slowly returning to a healthy pink color. Su Yang waved his hand, indicating to Lin Anlan not to worry. Although the application of the medicine was excruciatingly painful, Su Yang could indeed feel that the wound was healing faster. This showed that Die'er's knowledge was still very useful. This time, it could be said that he was able to escape this calamity thanks to everyone's combined efforts. Otherwise, he might have really died in the Saint Knight's series of attacks.

Su Yang hid in the dense forest for several days, and his injuries healed rather slowly. On the contrary, Xiao Ju's injuries healed very quickly. In the past few days, the Icewing Dogs went out hunting every day and always brought back some small ferocious beasts or fish from the river. Although Xiao Shi Hua has not yet fully grown up, it has already learned to control earth elements. Following Lin Anlan's instructions, it used earth elements to build a low, semi-cellar-style shelter. John then found many branches and leaves and laid them on top as cover.

After having a relatively stable food intake every day, Xiao Ju's injuries have almost completely healed, to the point where it can jump around and has started helping the Icewing Dogs hunt. However, Su Yang doesn't let it hunt in its original form, worried that it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Cora waited for several days at the South Bay City inn, but received no news of Su Yang's whereabouts. He was getting annoyed and puzzled. He was annoyed that in such a small city as South Bay City, these people had searched for so many days without finding a trace of him. He was puzzled as to where Su Yang could be hiding. South Bay City was so small. At the same time, he was getting restless. His team still needed to continue patrolling the branch temples in other towns and did not have time to waste here. So he gathered his team, packed his luggage, sent someone to leave a message for Conrad, and left South Bay City.

After Cora and the others left, Conrad quickly received a message from her, saying that the Saint Knights had gone ahead to carry out other missions and would not stay any longer. She also said that Su Yang and the others were exhausted and asked Conrad to take the head of the demon and go to the main church of the Principality of Paison as soon as possible to report.

Upon hearing that Cora had left, Conrad breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn't left, he truly didn't know how he would have achieved his goals. Now that the Holy Knights were gone, he was free of pressure. He immediately went to Viscount White's mansion, wanting to discuss the division of the spoils with White.

As luck would have it, Conrad had just arrived at the Viscount's mansion and stepped down from his carriage when he saw Gupa also alighting from another carriage. The two exchanged a smile, their understanding between them unwavering. White also came to the courtyard to greet them. Seeing that the two had arrived at the same time, White smiled and said, "Oh my, you two gentlemen are truly of one mind, gracing my humble abode at the same time! Please come inside for a chat."

After the three of them sat down, Gupa stated his purpose directly: "The tax money has been tallied, so I'll just give you my opinion directly. The three of us will split it in a 40/40/20 ratio. Bishop Conrad and I will each take four parts, and White, you will take two parts. But to compensate you, all the money that Enoch secretly amassed under the guise of investigating spies will be given to you. What do you two think?"

Conrad naturally had no objections, but when White heard about the 40/40 split, a surge of anger welled up inside him. He hadn't expected these two old foxes to be even more greedy than he had imagined. Not content with taking Enoch's share, they were also trying to squeeze him dry. However, when he heard that Enoch had taken a separate cut to compensate him, his anger subsided considerably. He knew Enoch's character; he was never soft-hearted when it came to making money.

The three quickly finalized the spoils distribution. Gupa continued, "This is the last time. The island war is over. The news has been stuck with me for seven days. If I don't inform the city's residents now, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it later."

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. The war is going much faster than we expected. It’s good that it’s over.” Conrad agreed with Gupa’s opinion. Seeing that the two of them agreed, White couldn’t say anything more and could only agree to end the collection of various taxes and war preparation funds.

“Right now, the most important thing is for the two of you to help me capture the demon and her accomplices, otherwise I won’t be able to explain to the Holy Knights and the Royal Palace.” Conrad stated his second purpose for coming here.

“Yes, that’s true. That person was seriously injured by the Holy Knight a few days ago, so he probably doesn’t have any fighting power left. But so many days have passed, and we’ve searched almost the entire city, so why haven’t we found a single trace?” Gupa asked, somewhat puzzled.

“It’s probably just that the people below didn’t investigate thoroughly enough, so starting today, we need to search even more carefully and not miss any clues. Successfully completing this task will be a great achievement for both of you,” Conrad said.

"Okay, then we'll follow through strictly."

Outside the city, at Su Yang's hiding place, Su Yang's external injuries were almost healed. Although he still had some internal injuries, they no longer prevented him from walking normally. In the morning, when the sun was shining brightly, Lin Anlan took Su Yang to a stream to sunbathe and wash off the bloodstains on his body. While washing in the stream, Su Yang's detection radar sensed that something was approaching. A point of light seemed to be heading towards the stream.

After informing Lin Anlan of the situation, the two looked around the stream but found no suitable hiding place. Helpless, they had no choice but to lie down on the stream and pretend to be passersby resting. On the surface, they looked relaxed and carefree, but Su Yang and Lin Anlan were extremely nervous inside. Su Yang kept staring at the moving dot on the detection radar and kept reporting the exact distance to Lin Anlan until the dot was extremely close. Lin Anlan could see the figure on the high ground behind them. With a sound of falling gravel, the person on the high ground slowly approached the stream.

The person seemed to be targeting Su Yang and his companion. After the footsteps stopped, Su Yang was about to quietly observe when he heard a woman's voice: "Excuse me, is either of you injured? I can smell blood from a distance. Do you need me to treat you?"

Hearing that the newcomer was not one of his pursuers, Su Yang felt relieved. He looked up and met a pair of extremely beautiful eyes. A jolt of electricity seemed to run through Su Yang's mind, and a glint of light seemed to flash in those eyes as well. It seemed that the two recognized each other. The newcomer was none other than the Crimson Storm-level adventurer, the healer of the Black Whale Squad, whom Su Yang had met once before when he left the island: Lit Lena.
