An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 15 Familiar Faces
Ma Long didn't have any opinions about gods. He was an atheist, but now that he came to this world, he had to admit that,
Those powerful life forms that are far beyond ordinary people's cognition do exist somewhere.

And in some way, he observes all living beings.

However, none of this has anything to do with him. He just needs to be himself. When walking in the world, Ma Long just wants to have a clear conscience.
As long as you can, you will help others.

But not everyone has this idea. For example, Asteron, who looks very angry right now, is completely pissed off~

"You are simply... unreasonable! Does this do us any good?"

Seeing the other party's angry and dissatisfied look, Ma Long's bad taste came to mind again and he smiled:

"Not necessarily, but I definitely feel happy inside."

Hearing this, Astelon looked at him deeply and took a deep breath:

"...you know, bastard, I really want to curse at this moment~"

"However, I will give you a favor. As long as you don't bring me out next time, if you agree, I will shut up immediately. How about that?"

Since there is no way to stop it, the only option she has left is... out of sight, out of mind.

After all, we still have to follow the team, and running is impossible.

Ma Long was still unfinished, he shook his head and smiled:
"Sorry, I don't have to decide whether to come out or not. I have to make a decision based on the actual situation. Okay, I still have to save people. Follow me."

After saying this, he immediately retracted his smile and followed the blood trail to guide him forward cautiously.

Look for unknown people who passed by before.

"I hate you."

Seeing Ma Long's back gradually walking away, Asteron cursed secretly, her mood was on the verge of explosion, and her back molars were almost broken~
As the saying goes, if the paths are different, they will not conspire against each other.

But in order to survive, she had to endure it for the time being and could only catch up with the man silently...

After a long period of blood-hunting, Ma Long finally found the target person behind a big tree.

He was indeed not mistaken in his speculation. He was not a goblin, but he was not a human either.

This unknown person is another teammate he met in the mind flayer’s shell ship, a Githyanki wearing silver armor and wielding a long sword!
It's just that the other party's condition is very bad now.
It can be said that he is covered in bruises! Even though I had several bandages I got from nowhere to stop the bleeding, the number of wounds was really quite large.
It results in excessive blood loss and unconsciousness. If not rescued in time, he is basically dead.

"Damn! What the hell..."

Seeing this, Ma Long's expression changed drastically. He quickly put down his sword and squatted down to check the opponent's condition.

He was surprised that a Githyanki was here.

"What, do you recognize this ugly guy?"

At this time, Astelon glanced at the injured person and couldn't help but frown and asked curiously,
From her perspective, this creature with brown skin and a bat-like nose was not much better than those goblins.

"Yes, he was the first person I met after escaping from the pouch. Moreover, he was indispensable for my success in killing the devil..."

"No more nonsense. Grab the two swords and rush back immediately. Be quick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Malone hurriedly carried the seriously injured Githyanki on his back, handed the weapon to Adelon, and returned as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, he had always marked the way when he came.

He didn't get lost and ran with difficulty carrying the injured on his back! To be honest, it's quite heavy.
Mainly due to the weight of the armor.

Within two minutes, Malone successfully rejoined his two teammates, put the Githyanki off his back, and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
Astelon was slow for a while. Her physical strength was not very good, not to mention the weight she was carrying~
"Hoo~ Shadow Heart... Hurry, hurry up and save people."

"That Githyanki from before? Was he the one that passed near us just now?"

Ying Xin had not forgotten this familiar face, and recognized his identity immediately.

"That's right, hoo~ Anyway...you save people first."

Ma Long, who was out of breath, reluctantly responded that his physique still needed to be strengthened, and it was really incredible to be able to carry the injured back.

"Okay, but I have to remind you first that this guy is a notorious bandit from the star realm. He is very bellicose and extremely cruel."

"Perhaps when he wakes up, there is a high probability that he will not be as friendly as before."

Seeing the captain speaking, Shadow Heart did not refuse and immediately cast the priest's healing spell.

Emerald energy filled his palms and he touched the injured lightly.

Regarding this, Malone already knew in his heart that most of the Githyanki race are indeed not friendly.
His temperament and behavior are basically consistent with what Shadow Heart said, but if he can recruit the other party to join,
The overall combat effectiveness of the team will be greatly improved!

As the treatment continues, the Githyanki's injuries heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood in the body no longer flows out.

His weak breathing became steady and powerful.

And his eyelids were trembling slightly. Seeing this, Ma Long quickly said:
"Okay, Shadow Heart, stay away from him immediately."

No one can guarantee whether this guy will have an overreaction when he wakes up, and conflicts will inevitably occur. He doesn't want to see this scene.

Then everyone tacitly stayed away,
Keep enough space so that the other person won't be too uneasy.

After a while, the Githyanki woke up,

Realizing that his hands were empty, he subconsciously sat up and looked for weapons. Because of this, he saw the people surrounding him.
He quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist.

"Damn it! (Gith)"

"Calm down, do you still recognize me?"

Ma Long spread his hands, took a cautious step forward to show that he was not hostile, and tried to make contact.

After all, they had experienced battles with demons together, so he thought that he should be able to leave some impression on the other party's mind.

Sure enough, when the Githyanki looked at him,

The hostility has decreased slightly, but they are still very wary and have not lowered their weapons.

"I've seen you."

Ma Long nodded and smiled happily:

"Yes! In the mind flayer's shell ship, I found you in the forest not long ago after losing too much blood and unconscious, and brought you back for treatment."

"We are not enemies, I believe you can feel that, right?"

"We all have a little fat worm in our heads, and it's the same for everyone here."

The Githyanki, who was also implanted with bugs, did not refute this statement;

Without that thing, the two sides might not be able to have a friendly conversation.

"It seems your brains are still intact."

"Maybe... I can only hope that thing doesn't eat me full of holes."

When the bug thing was mentioned again, Ma Long couldn't help but sigh one after another.
That thing made him extremely uncomfortable.

After observing everyone, the Githyanki then put on a proud posture:
"Want to cure the infection? My people know how to remove it, but you must come with me and follow my orders,"

"In contrast, I will give you a chance to regain your life."

Before anyone else could react, Asteron was the first to hold back.

"Haha~ It's not night yet, why are you dreaming now?"
