Chapter 431

Chapter 431: I’m Sorry

[『』 and Honey Karoso are true love.]

[Is this just a simple student-teacher relationship? I don’t believe it.]

[It seems like they are both losing their focus, and yet still dragging Honey Karoso along.]

[Honey Karoso must not let me down.]

[Over the past two days, we watched 『』 slowly pulling Honey Karoso along, and honestly, many times I thought 『』 couldn’t keep going.]

[If it were me, I wouldn’t just drag Honey Karoso; I wouldn’t even survive walking for half a day in that weather, whether in this forbidden place or a normal desert.]

『』’s vision became blurrier, and things gradually turned into a thousand colors.

She swayed and made her way to the edge of the lake, unable to hold on any longer.

Bang!

『』 fell into the water, while her body was still outside.

She instinctively swallowed the lake water in front of her, and a faint magic began to enter her body.

『』 felt the power flowing in and only realized she was getting thirstier.

Can this magic help me use the card? Can it make him wake up?

『』 struggled to support herself with her hands; she was a bit dazed as she looked at Karoso, whom she had dragged over, and slowly sat up.

Turn over, help him turn over.

『』 grabbed Karoso’s clothes with both hands and pulled with all her strength. After pulling for two minutes, she finally lifted him up.

Bang!

Karoso changed from lying on the ground to lying flat.

『』 pulled Karoso gently toward himself, trembling as he reached his hands into the lake to scoop up some water and poured it near Karoso’s mouth.

Karoso kept his mouth tightly closed and did not drink any water at all.

『』 pinched Karoso’s face and forced his mouth open a little.

He took more water and kept pouring.

"Cough, cough…"

Karoso could not swallow the water and instead coughed it out.

What to do if he can’t drink the water?

『』 suddenly thought of a classic scene from a story and a play. He picked up more water, took a sip, and fed it directly to Karoso’s mouth.

Karoso’s throat finally moved.

『』 did not feel that she had done anything wrong, or perhaps her mind would not let her think of anything else.

Gurgle, gurgle…

After drinking water, Karoso’s breathing became steady.

『』 smiled a little, wanting to drink some more.

She lay on the ground, her little face by the lake’s edge, sipping a little bit.

Then, 『』’s consciousness gradually became blurry.

……

When Karoso woke up, she did not know what time it was anymore.

"Cough, cough…" Karoso coughed heavily, feeling pain all over his body.

The wounds were burning, especially the one pierced by the Blackening Card, which made it difficult for Karoso to move.

Karoso’s vision was blurry, and he couldn’t even see the bullet comments; he struggled to sit up.

"Spit, spit…"

Karoso didn’t know how, but his mouth was full of sand.

He shook his head groggily and looked at his surroundings, suddenly feeling shocked.

He saw that the veins on 『』 were turning purple and showing through; she was now unconscious beside Karoso, her mouth full of sand.

[Wow, Master Karoso, you finally woke up. Just moments ago, 『』 was lying near the lake, drinking sand.]

[I know this sounds ridiculous, but 『』 really drank sand. Wow, it’s my first time realizing sand can be drunk!]

[『』 was feeding you sand mouth to mouth.]

[Do you know what just happened?]

[Master Karoso, you have quite the charm!]

[Stop talking about charm, hurry and save 『』! She seems to be fading away!]

Karoso looked around; the two were at the edge of an oasis in the desert, less than twenty steps from the lake.

Karoso tried to summon magic but found it very difficult here, and even his body’s abilities were greatly suppressed.

A card? I can’t even take out my deck.

Karoso quickly realized the problem: the sand here is white!

Is this… the White Desert in the Forbidden Land?

It is said that the Flame War God Surtr once killed a blue giant god here, and its blue blood soaked the ground, turning the sand white.

As for why blue blood can turn sand white, Karoso is not sure.

Besides that blue giant god, many other gods have also died in this White Desert.

The laws here are chaotic, and besides the gods, it is almost impossible for anyone to use the laws.

In particular, the aura and blood of the gods have created a natural magic circle here that can suppress people’s strength.

How did we get here? Weren’t we in the Trial of the Brave before?

Moreover, this suppression seems to have some issues, as there are always fearless adventurers going to the White Desert to seek death, and some people have come back alive, claiming in interviews that the suppression of the White Desert should be weaker.

Karoso wobbled as he stood up, picked 『』 up in a princess carry, and walked to the edge of the lake.

Karoso first tried it himself to see if the lake water was poisonous.

The clear power spread throughout Karoso’s body, just like the purest magic.

When the water entered his belly, Karoso felt much better.

He quickly helped 『』 sit up, patting her back to make her spit out some sand.

But her saliva also stuck to a lot of sand, and Karoso had no choice but to wash his hands and help 『』 scoop the sand out of her mouth.

Slurp.

Karoso felt a strong piece of meat brush against his fingers and even lick them.

Splash!

Karoso’s finger was caught, and 『』 greedily sucked on it; she was drinking the water that was on Karoso’s hand.

Seeing this, Karoso pulled his finger away, and 『』, with her eyes closed, instinctively leaned forward to chase his finger.

For a moment, it was as if Karoso was holding a cat toy, and 『』 was that playful little cat.

Seeing this, Karoso guided 『』, letting her head get closer to the lake water, then his hand dipped into the water, filling it for 『』.

"Slurp…"

『』 put her mouth to it and quickly drank the water from Karoso’s hand.

Karoso, worried she might plunge her whole head into the lake, skillfully helped her drink the clear lake water.

However, the more water 『』 drank, the darker her veins became.

It was clear that this magic not only helped 『』 recover but also strengthened the poison inside her.

"I’m sorry, teacher," Karoso quickly hydrated himself and then gently laid 『』 down.

He took off 『』’s outerwear and couldn’t help but blush at the sight; how was it that she only had underwear beneath her teacher’s coat?

Forget it, saving a life is more important.

Karoso did not hesitate and took off 『』’s pants.

Now, 『』’s skin lost all its beauty, with the purple veins showing, creating a very frightening appearance.

It is clear how much suffering 『』 endured while being with Karoso.

Karoso took a deep breath, calm his mind, and carefully examined the veins on 『』’s body.

Three places: the side of the small belly, the left calf, and one place on the upper body that cannot be described.

All three spots had marks from snake fangs; 『』 had been bitten by three poisonous snakes…
