After Old Pike finished treating the rotten flesh on another seriously injured person, he was about to ask Roy to come over and take charge of the simpler bandaging when he found Roy sitting in the chair next to him. He had already finished treating all the wounds that the seriously injured person had suffered from the corruption of Darkness Qi. He had even carefully stitched up the messy, torn wounds with needle and thread. However, these stitched wounds looked complicated and somewhat grotesque on the abdomen.

"The stitching technique is quite good! Your Holy Light Power is quite abundant?" Old Pike stroked his chin and asked in a low voice while standing behind Roy.

Roy nodded and replied, "I don't believe in the Goddess of Freedom. When I became Novice Priest, I was able to draw some Holy Light Power from those around me."

Old Pike's eyes widened, and he asked with a puzzled look, "I can also absorb the Holy Light Particle around me! It's just that those insignificant Holy Light Particle around us can't meet our usual needs. Roy, how did you solve that?"

"In the Dark Land, some auxiliary methods are indeed needed. For example, I often replenish my holy water..." Roy explained.

Roy wanted to show Old Pike the Holy Light Tree within him, but he didn't know how to describe it. So Roy made the vortex of Magic Power around him spin, but unfortunately Old Pike couldn't see the vortex of Magic Power constantly spinning around Roy, nor could he see the dense roots of the Holy Light Tree embedded in the vortex of Magic Power...

Roy clasped his hands together in a prayer position, then closed his eyes and said:

"I often sense the Holy Light Particle around me and then slowly try to communicate with them, like this..."

As Roy extended his divine sense, all the Holy Light Particle that the Magic Power vortex could reach lit up and swirled around Roy. Unfortunately, the Holy Light Particle Holy Light Particle in the Dark Land were too scarce, and those surrounding Roy's body were also pitifully few.

Even so, it still shocked Old Pike immensely.

Old Pike was quite engrossed in watching...

The two would only talk quietly about the Holy Light Power during breaks.

Outside Old Pike's tent, many wounded people were waiting in line. Although their injuries were not as severe as the two wounded people lying in the hospital beds, they had all lost a lot of blood. Because they were contaminated with Darkness Qi, they could not be bandaged immediately. Old Pike needed to purify the Darkness Qi before further treatment could be given...

Old Pike was very experienced in how to remove the Darkness Qi from wounds.

In exchange, Old Pike also introduced Roy to several simple and effective methods for clearing away the Darkness Qi. If combined with releasing a little Holy Light Power, the purification effect would be even better.

It is said that if the Darkness Qi that has seeped into the body is not cleaned up in time, the Demon Hunter's body will be damaged, and it may even slowly turn the Demon Hunter into Dark Devil...

Some Demon Hunter went mad as a result, some went Demon Hunter, and Demon Hunter even cut off the infected parts. This has not happened since Old Pike came to the Wanderer Camp.

In fact, given Roy's current rate of absorbing Holy Light Power, it doesn't matter whether he learns these simple healing methods or not. However, the Half-Elf Warrior in the Expeditionary Force camp can use them. Many of the Half-Elf Warrior in the Expeditionary Force camp have now learned to cast ' Glimmer Illumination Spell,' which means that they have mastered Holy Light.

They don't possess much Holy Light, so if they could learn Old Pike's method of treating wounds, they would be able to treat their own wounds when they get injured.

Roy spent the whole day at Old Pike's clinic, only to leave with a few words of thanks from the Demon Hunter.

But Roy didn't care about any of that...

Before leaving, Old Pike put his arm around Roy's shoulder, hoping that he could visit his clinic at the Wanderer Camp often when he had time.

Roy readily agreed.

Night fell in the Dark Land, and the sky gradually turned red.

The Dark Creatures that had been unusually active in the wilderness vanished; it was time for them to rest.

For the Demon Hunter in the Wanderer Camp, their hunting season is about to begin while the Dark Creatures lie in wait...

The camp gradually became lively, and some vendors appeared in the Free Market. Almost all the vendors in the Wanderer Camp Demon Hunter. Roy strolled around the Free Market and found many magical materials he had never seen before. According to the vendors, these were obtained from Dark Magical Beasts.

The currency used in the Wanderer Camp is not Magic Crystal Stone, Magic Crystal Stone are quite valuable here.

The main currency in the Wanderer Camp is Soul Crystals, which these Demon Hunter also like to use to measure the specific value of an item.

Although the Dark Scythe is a level three Dark Magical Beasts, there are quite a few Dark Scythe -Demon Hunter Squad in the Wanderer Camp capable of hunting it. Roy saw this sharp bone blade at many stalls.

How much is this?

Roy squatted in front of a stall, first looking at the crystal-clear bones, then casually flipping through other goods, before finally pointing to the bone blade of the Dark Scythe and asking the stall owner.

"Seventy Soul Crystals. This was obtained by our team after hunting a Dark Scythe. As you probably know... Dark Scythe are inherently very precious, and hunting them is extremely risky, so this is why it's so expensive!"

The stall owner was a human warrior who, upon hearing Roy speak Elven Language, immediately began to converse with Roy in fluent Elven Language.

"Fifty soul crystals, I won't pay a single penny more!" Roy said casually.

"Then forget it!" The stall owner shook his head, refusing Roy's attempt to bargain, his tone still firm.

"..."

Roy stood up, slowly left the stall, and wandered aimlessly through the Free Market.

It seems the other vendors noticed Roy asking about the price of the Dark Scythe, because whenever Roy approached a stall, the vendor would enthusiastically introduce the Dark Scythe they were selling...

Moreover, before Roy even spoke, the stall owners proactively lowered their prices a bit.

"Look at the bone blade of my Dark Scythe. It was just used in a recent hunt, so the dark aura on it is particularly strong. It's also very well preserved. Look at the clean cuts on the bone fragments here..." Some stall owners offered to introduce it to Roy.

Roy glanced at the bone blade of the Dark Scythe in front of the stall owner and said, "I'm willing to buy it for fifty soul crystals!"

"There's no price this cheap in the entire Free Market. If you really want to buy it, then it'll be sixty-five soul crystals... Never mind, I'll cut my own price even further. Give me sixty soul crystals and you can take it!" The stall owner said to Roy with a pained expression, biting his lower lip.

Roy blinked and said, "Fifty Soul Crystals!"

"You're offering too little. I can't possibly sell it to you for that price..." The stall owner said this, but he winked at Roy, indicating that he could take the bone blade of the Dark Scythe.

Roy smiled slightly, but did not proceed with the transaction. Instead, he added to the stall owner:

"I want to buy a lot of them, so the price I can only offer is fifty Soul Crystals!"

"Auguheim, are you still selling? If you don't want to sell, I'd like to sell my half of the bone blade..." The stall owner next to him came over and asked tentatively.

"Sell! Of course we'll sell!"

The stall owner immediately changed his tune and deftly handed the Dark Scythe Bone Blade to Roy.

Roy paid the money very readily, and then bought all the Dark Scythe Bone Blade from the stall next door.

At this point, some stall owners quickly surrounded Roy, saying that they also had Dark Scythe Dark Scythe Bone Blade bone blades on their stalls and were willing to sell them for fifty soul crystals...

Roy would generally buy any Dark Scythe Bone Blade that a vendor brought over, unless it was of extremely poor quality, in which case Roy would reject it.

Soon, news of Roy's purchase of the Dark Scythe Bone Blade from the market spread throughout the Wanderer Camp.

Actually, the market in the camp wasn't very big, with only a few dozen stalls, and it wouldn't take Roy long to walk around it.

However, Roy Yilin bought more than fifty bone blades of the Dark Scythe, all at the price of fifty soul crystals. Many stall owners who had not originally planned to lower the price to sell the bone blades were now getting restless.

Such big buyers are rare in Wanderer Camp, and when they do appear, no one wants to miss out.

As more and more vendors became willing to sell the Dark Scythe Bone Blade for fifty Soul Crystals, their original thoughts changed, and they felt that selling a Dark Scythe Bone Blade for fifty Soul Crystals didn't seem so unacceptable.

So Roy searched the market in the Wanderer Camp and actually bought more than 120 Dark Scythe Bone Blade.

Meanwhile, the stall owners in the Wanderer Camp were all whispering among themselves about Roy's background, wondering how he could produce so many soul crystals at once, and judging from the bulging pockets at his waist, it seemed like he still had a lot left...

Roy actually saw some other Darkness-type magic materials at the market in the Wanderer Camp, but he didn't know much about their prices, so he didn't buy them...

He accepted any bone blade from the Dark Scythe, and once he bought it, he had no intention of reselling it.

Roy plans to forge these Dark Scythe Bone Blade into dark War Blade and distribute them to the Dark Moon Elf Warrior.

Captain Timothy followed Roy discreetly the whole time. As Roy left the market at the Wanderer Camp, Captain Timothy also left the Wanderer Camp from the other side...

Many Demon Hunter in the Wanderer Camp witnessed Roy leaving alone, and he was also the most generous buyer to have come to the Wanderer Camp in recent months.

Upon hearing this news, some Demon Hunter' minds immediately began to race...

Even some market vendors joined in, and they discussed how to rob Roy on the way back at the Wanderer Camp.

Some well-informed Demon Hunter also said that Roy was getting close to Old Pike in the camp, and if they robbed Roy, they might offend Old Pike in the camp...

However, this sound was quickly drowned out by other sounds.

These Demon Hunter didn't think it was a big deal to fail; if they failed, they would just leave the Expeditionary Force.

If they succeed... they'll become rich overnight, and Roy's wealth might even be enough for them to leave the Dark Land!

They quickly devised an ambush plan: they would send a skilled tracker to follow Roy, while the main force would take a detour to Roy Roy...

Soon, two Demon Hunter came out of the Wanderer Camp. After they caught up with Roy, Roy realized that these two Elf Ranger were members of the Demon Hunter Squad that Roy had treated the night before.

After they caught up with Roy, they didn't tell Roy directly that some Demon Hunter were planning to rob him.

Instead, he expressed his hope that Roy would return to the Wanderer Camp now, preferably stay there for a while, and make some friends among the Demon Hunter at Old Pike's clinic to build his own social circle. He hoped Roy wouldn't leave in such a hurry...

Seeing that the two Elf Ranger were speaking so tactfully, Roy smiled as he stood on the hillside before saying, "Have you heard some bad rumors?"

The two Elf Ranger exchanged a glance and stammered, "We've heard some uncertain rumors. Some Demon Hunter in the Wanderer Camp have their eyes on your purse and are planning to ambush you on your way."

Roy nodded and said, "Thank you for being so frank and for making this special trip!"

Roy looked around at the empty space before saying:

"But I'm not afraid of them. Besides, I'm not alone. I have a large demon-hunting team!"

The two Elf Ranger were worried that someone might be chasing them from behind, so they told Roy the news and then hurriedly left.

Neither of them dared to return the way they came; instead, they took a detour to leave.

In fact, when Roy was saying those words, two hundred Dark Moon Elf Warrior were scattered around Roy. When Roy said he wasn't alone, he was referring to the two hundred Dark Moon Elf Warrior around him.

Seeing that the two Elf Ranger had already run far away, Captain Timothy reappeared beside Roy and said to Roy:

"Actually, if you just reveal twenty Dark Moon Elf Warrior, I doubt those Demon Hunter in the Wanderer Camp would risk targeting you..."

Roy shook his head and sighed:

"This Wanderer Camp is too close to the Dark Portal Wanderer Camp Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp, so I don't want it to be a den of iniquity. I want it to be a camp of order. This probe may not be able to wipe out all the Demon Hunter with bad intentions at once, but at least it can make them hide their tails and not easily expose themselves..."

"..."

Captain Timothy couldn't quite understand what Roy was saying, but he didn't refute it.

"Let's go, let's walk a little further ahead. There's a ravine up there, let's wait for them there..."

Roy pointed forward and said with a serious expression.

Seeing Roy's resolute attitude, Captain Timothy didn't try to stop him anymore. Instead, he waved to the surroundings and took the lead.
