  ================================================

  One day passed.

  The town of Heim is already in sight, but the party is also exhausted. Under precise coordination, they killed 5 wolves, but two companions were seriously injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. The holy water bought from the temple has been used up, leaving only the healing potions from Heim Town.

  As they watched, the crowd was once again surrounded by a pack of wolves and could no longer move forward.

  The captain gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone take out the new treatment medicine we just bought back, first give it to our two seriously injured teammates. If it's effective, that's great, if not... uh!" As soon as he finished speaking, a low-level priest who had exhausted his divine magic took out a bottle of potion, pulled out the stopper, poured half on the wound and half into the mouth of the seriously injured teammate.

  Everyone has fallen into despair. This treatment drug was originally to be tested by oneself before use, but now it's at the last juncture, there is no time to care about that anymore.

  The other team members stood guard around, the pastor sat inside taking care of the seriously injured comrade who had fainted, the wild wind blew by, with an unspeakable despair and bleakness.

  A green glow writhed, emitting a foul odor. For some reason, the surrounding mutated wolves hesitated after smelling this smell, making uneasy throat sounds.

  Two minutes had passed, but it felt like a year to everyone. The team member who had fallen into a high fever and was unconscious finally made a low sound and woke up. The adventure team, which had been in a desperate situation, cheered. If he hadn't woken up, they would have probably left him here as breakfast for the mutated wolves.

  "I feel... I feel like there's something moving inside my body... Power, power is back!" The wounded man slowly got up, a flush of abnormal redness appeared on his face, and he slowly moved his body, picked up his own weapon again, and shouted with excitement! It was as if he had been inflated like a balloon, and the wounded man's condition seemed to be even better than before he was injured!

  Seeing the effect of this medicine was so good, even a seriously injured member who was conscious and clear-headed took a bottle on his own initiative. Instantly, his strength returned to his body, and his wound completely healed, no longer being a burden to the adventure team.

  After using two bottles of medicinal agents, the foul odor dissipated far and wide. The surrounding mutated wolves seemed hesitant and fearful, circling around but no longer actively attacking this group of adventurers, allowing them to return safely to Haimun Town.

  After entering the town, this adventurer team immediately booked a floor of the hotel and had a good rest. They also inquired about who still had healing potions to buy a few more bottles. When others asked them, they just said they were curious and wanted to try buying a few more bottles. Only when someone familiar with them exposed their lie did they tell everyone that they had encountered danger in the forest and only escaped by relying on the effect of this healing potion.

  At this time, with the first batch of therapeutic agents being put into use one after another, the effect and reputation of these therapeutic agents slowly spread among adventurers in their adventure careers, and even some adventurers quickly summarized an experience.

  This medicinal treatment with a pungent and foul odor, even ordinary mutated creatures would avoid it when they smelled it, and instead had the effect of intimidating wild beasts. However, when encountering extremely powerful mutated monsters, it would have the opposite effect, attracting high-level mutated monsters instead.

  For a time, this medicine with such good effects became a hot product. These adventurers regretted that they were too cautious at the time and bought too little, waiting for next week to buy more.

  Soon, the Silver Stream Trade Association quietly delivered the goods they had ordered. Victor received the goods and paid two-thirds of the payment, then ordered the next batch of goods.

  After the new materials arrived, Master Ivan used these simple materials to make a simple magic sifter with a circle of magic runes on it. As long as this magic sifter is used to filter that secret formula green powder, it can continuously produce the main component of the healing potion.

  This also freed up the labor force of several key personnel in Victor's team.

  While everyone was working hard to increase the production of therapeutic drugs, the hotel owner knocked on Victor's door with some trepidation.

  "Boss, is there something?" Victor asked gently.

  The boss trembled and said, "Town Lord, it's like this... every month, a batch of variant beasts will attack Haimen Town. They eat everything and leave after they're full. The townspeople always hide well, so not many people have been hurt. However, the chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep are all killed."

  "With this month's beast tide approaching soon, I wonder if the town mayor has any arrangements?"

  After saying these words, the old boss of the inn looked at Victor with a hesitant expression. Victor's head swelled up to three times its normal size as he asked in disbelief: "What?! Beast Tide?! When is it coming?!"

  "Ah?! Don't you know, Mayor?! The previous mayor should have told you about this! The beast tide will return when the moon is completely gone and it will last for one night. Let me see... Ah yes, it's in three days' time, on that night, the beast tide will come!"

  Victor slammed his fist on the table, furious: "Damn it! How could you not tell me such important information?! There's no time to say more, immediately notify all the guards, build fortifications at once, hide everything valuable and prepare for the beast tide!"

  In the next three days, Victor and others worked hard to repair the city walls, build arrow towers and towers, but still couldn't finish building them in three days. So they also built traps and piles of flammable materials, and reinforced the government office a bit more. The city wall deliberately exposed several huge gaps, everyone prepared their weapons and dry rations, hiding in the slightly sturdier government office, waiting for the arrival of the beast tide.

  As the Forest Ranger, Lin Ya played a huge role this time. He commanded his adventurers to set up several powerful traps and also placed some flammable materials at the gaps around them. Moreover, he had transformed the defensive fortifications of the Public Hall into an easily defendable but hard-to-attack state, where each gap could only be passed through by one beast, yet would face at least three people's weapons, and was also very easy to replace.

  As soon as the sky turned dark, strange howls of wild beasts could be heard all around. All adventurers hid in the arrow towers and towers, hiding themselves.

  Soon, many green and red light spots emerged from the wild, and upon closer inspection, they were clearly the eyes of beasts.

  Under the faint starlight, people found that the entire town of Heimun was surrounded by a dense pack of wild beasts.

  Seeing so many beasts, all the adventurers felt their hairs stand on end.

  "Victor ordered in a low voice: 'The beast tide will last for one night, everyone follow my arrangement, divide into two halves, one half to guard first, the other half to rest first!'"

  The adventurers, of course, knew that in this situation, even if they couldn't sleep, they had to sleep, so they didn't argue anymore. Half of the people honestly lay down on the futon in the public hall and forced themselves to fall asleep.

  The other villagers had long been accustomed to this beast tide, they fixed their houses even better, filled all the gaps, extinguished all the flames, and quietly waited for the arrival of dawn the next day.

  Soon, these beasts all started to move, slowly passing through the gaps in the small town and rushing north. Along the way, these beasts sniffed around everywhere, wanting to find something edible, but unfortunately, they didn't find anything valuable.

  From the faint starlight, it can be seen that these beasts all have strange tumors on their bodies, all of which are some mutant creatures, advancing northward along the route where the corpse of the god of decay had passed through in those years.

  Lin Ya saw that these monsters had no desire to stop destroying, so she didn't trigger the trap either.

  Seeing these disgusting mutant beasts walking silently northward through the seams is like a silent refugee tide.

  "I wonder if the things on these beasts are worth anything..." Ilean whispered to Victor. As soon as she spoke, Ivan the mage hissed in a low voice: "Shut up! You stupid woman!"

  Yilian suddenly became angry and scolded: "You robe-wearing guy, dare to scold me again, I'll fight you!" As soon as she finished speaking, the adventurer guarding the entrance clearly saw several wild beasts seemingly hearing the voices from this side, looking over, approaching the entrance, seeming to smell human scent, excitedly howling, and squeezing inside.

  In an instant, it was like a drop of cold water had fallen into a hot oil pan, and all the mutant beasts became excited and rushed towards the town hall in the middle of the town.

  "Damn it! Can't you just die without speaking?!"" Ivan, the law master, cursed angrily. Irene pulled out her own dagger and said hatefully, "Even if I have to die, I'll kill you first!" Victor stepped in between them, separating the two people apart.

  "Everyone be on guard, combat has begun!" Victor shouted loudly as he saw the beasts had discovered their location and were charging towards the entrance.

  Lin pulled the rope, and instantly all the traps in the entire town were triggered. Instantly, many holes appeared on the ground in the town, and beasts that fell into them couldn't get out, even being pierced by sharp bamboo inside.

  In other parts of the town, several fires suddenly broke out, setting all the surrounding beasts ablaze and blocking their advance towards the government office.

  All the burrow entrances have guards holding long spears waiting there, once any wild beast dares to rush in from the entrance, more than three long spears will pierce over, piercing that beast into a sieve, dying miserably on the spot. Then other beasts come over, dragging away the corpse, eating it right nearby, clearing out the space in front of the burrow entrance, making way for the next wave of attack.

  The only relatively difficult ones were those variant poisonous snakes, which moved very smoothly and caused serious injuries to several people. They were quickly withdrawn and replaced with new people blocking the entrance, Lin Ya and Xi Lang, the two most agile forest rangers, patrolled around and killed all the variant poisonous snakes that had escaped in the government office building.

  Those adventurers who were poisoned by the variant snake venom had some holy water from the temple, used a bottle on themselves, but the effect was not very good. However, after using the healing potion from Haimen Town, they quickly recovered their health and became lively again.

  This phenomenon further illustrates that the therapeutic agent known as Heimun medicine is more adaptable to the mutated beasts in the Corrosive Forest than the holy water of other temples.

  Mutated beasts didn't have many powerful ones, a giant mountain gorilla passed by the roadside, originally didn't care about this place, but was attracted by the smell of therapeutic medicine in the government office, and frantically attacked the government hall.

  Everyone's heart sank at this scene.

  Victor gritted his teeth and shouted, "Everyone hold on, Ivan and Cyril are directing in the hall, others follow me to meet it!" After finishing, he went into the room and came out again, wearing a full-body armor with the emblem of the Sun God.

  Victor, Irene, Marta and Lin Ya stood up one after another. Ivan cast some beneficial magic on them, such as the strength of a wild bull and the agility of a cat, then hid in the public hall and didn't come out again.

  Choosing a suitable angle, Martak first made a fierce bull charge, stabbing heavily into the mutated mountain ape's lower back. The mountain ape felt a severe pain in its back and furiously swung its arm. Martak barely dodged it, and Victor jumped over as well, his entire body bursting with fighting spirit. He let out a loud roar: "In the name of the Sun God!" With both hands grasping his greatsword, he fiercely chopped down towards the mountain ape's chest in an extremely intimidating manner.

  The giant sword fiercely chopped into the mountain ape's chest, but it was also stuck in the bone of its chest. The mountain ape let out a furious roar and slapped its two huge hands towards the middle. Victor first pulled the giant sword outwards with all his might, but couldn't move it. Irene went around to the back of the mountain ape, which was as tall as a two-story building, and stabbed at its wound with her dagger.

  Victor let go, falling from his great sword, and just as he was about to hit the ground, the mountain ape viciously kicked out with one foot, sending Victor flying like a football.

  The orangutan was finally killed, and Victor was also seriously injured.

  Ivan brought a bottle of medicine in front of him, Victor spat out blood foam and hesitantly asked: "Ivan, this... medicine..."

  "I know, but it's the only thing that can save your life. Your body has not only ordinary injuries, but also the mutated toxin from the mountain gorilla's foot and the snakebite when you fell, only this bottle of antidote can save you."

  Victor had no choice but to drink the medicine down, and Ivan opened another bottle and carefully applied it to his body.

  This wave of beasts has finally passed.

  The situation in Haimun Town finally stabilized and entered a period of steady development. However, after Viktor was injured and took that medicine, the dominance of this small team fell more and more into Ivan's hands.

  Three months later, they received another mission.
