Chapter 490: Chapter 252: Dream Weaving Corridor and Destiny Coin
Xia Nan’s constitution is very strong.
The strengthening effects from the Gilded Gourd Dew in the past Giant Snake Secret Realm have elevated his Constitution Attribute to "8" points.
It seems only three points higher than an ordinary person, but the physical enhancement it brings is far beyond what these cold numbers can express.
Ever since Xia Nan came out of the Secret Realm, he seldom worried about his stamina, and the [Teeth Hunting], which was supposed to be a high-consumption finishing move at lower levels, is used as a routine Battle Skill by him.
He has never been sick, and light injuries sustained in battle self-heal without taking much time.
In his previous life, even just comparing the "Constitution" Attribute alone would have placed him at the pinnacle of humanity.
Now, his more outstanding Perception Attribute allowed him to move his body at a critical moment, dodging the silver needle from Terry William, which should have directly pierced his heart.
Although it still penetrated his chest, the potentially fatal severe injury was turned into an acceptable ordinary wound.
By relying on his willpower and constitution, he could even maintain full combat for a certain period.
However, that silver-white fine needle from Terry William’s fingertip seemed to contain some strange corrosive toxin besides its speed and physical penetration.
The unusual intense pain from his chest and the subtle sizzling sound of flesh corroded by the toxin caused Xia Nan to collapse in dizziness without even having time to steady himself.
He immediately took self-rescue measures.
Buzz——
A burst of emerald green light filled with the breath of life quietly erupted from the inside of his armor.
...
[Tear of Spring Breath]:
1. Secondary Healing Technique (Active/First Ring): Use natural energy to restore a small amount of life to one creature you touch (3 times/day);
...
Very effective.
This Rare Blue Equipment from the Beastman Mint had already been entrusted to "Rock Hammer" Barn by Xia Nan back when he was in River Valley Town, to modify its original earring design into the current necklace.
And to avoid attracting attention, he usually wore it under his shirt, where only the custom-made iron chain on his neck was visible from the outside, while the crystal-clear water-drop core was hidden under the inner lining of the Iron Armor.
Now faced with serious injury, he naturally used the healing Spell it carried first.
The effect... was pretty good.
Although the "Secondary Healing Technique" is just a First Ring Spell, the most severe current effect on Xia Nan’s body isn’t the wound itself, but the rapidly spreading toxin inside.
This happened to be counteracted by the natural energy within the Spell.
Almost the moment after the green light burst forth, the intense pain from his chest was alleviated, and the spreading toxin was suppressed.
Xia Nan estimated that if he used all three doses of the "Secondary Healing Technique" today, he could approximately neutralize all the toxins in his body and heal his wounds.
But it requires time.
Based on the effect of the healing just now, it would take at least fifteen minutes to return to peak combat readiness.
So... can he peacefully lie here waiting for recovery for these dozen minutes?
Obviously not.
The enemies are not far ahead, and their strength far surpasses his group, and even in full condition, he might not be a match for those two veteran experts.
Therefore...
Thoughtfulness appeared in Xia Nan’s eyes.
...
[Tear of Spring Breath]
2. Spring Vein Purification (Active/Fourth Ring): Releases a healing energy to wash over the body, restoring a certain amount of life to the bearer (once/week);
...
As a piece of Blue Equipment, the enchantments on [Tear of Spring Breath] include more than just the daily thrice "Secondary Healing Technique".
"Spring Vein Purification", a Fourth Ring Healing Spell usable once each week.
Xia Nan has witnessed its effects, like having a second life, during the battle with the Beastman Mint, it nullified all the injuries he painstakingly inflicted during the heated exchange.
Now that [Tear of Spring Breath] was in his possession, this spell with its strong effect and lengthy cooldown naturally became one of his trump cards.
Xia Nan was confident that once he revealed this trump card, his chest injuries would be completely healed in a breath, allowing him to rejoin the fight immediately.
Just as he resolved to use the spell,
an unexpected shift seemed to have occurred in the situation on the field.
...
...
"Plop."
The thick leather boots sunk deeply into the rain-soaked mud, the air resonating with the sharp clang of metal armor clashing.
The damp golden mid-length hair clung to his face, devoid of the once friendly smile he wore at the inn, replaced with coldness.
Terry William approached, his sight passing over the black-haired youth who had fallen under his [Bright Silver Thorn] assault.
His gaze fixed forward.
At some point unknown, the outlaw Lawson, unexpectedly interrupted from his cloaking state by the black-haired youth, was once again engulfed in his silver-white prison.
Due to the [Curse] greatly weakening his physical attributes, he could no longer easily break the silver-iron bindings as before.
Just continuously struggling and slashing in the cage, trying to break free from his confinement.
Terry William at this moment completely dominated the field.
But his expression appeared subtly peculiar and strange.
The reason naturally lay in his eyes reflecting the silver-white metal fiercely gripped in Lawson’s hand.
