As soon as Jack arrived at Chenyu Vale, a green figure ran over and clung to his neck like a koala.
"Long time no see, Collei. Let me see if you've gotten fatter."
"Hmm, how rude! Getting fatter is not a blessing for a woman!"
"Is that so? Is there nowhere Collei wants to get fatter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Collei's small face flushed red, and she gave Jack a coquettish, yet annoyed, glance.
"Idiot Jack! Collei isn't talking to you anymore!"
She said she wouldn't talk to him, but her small mouth couldn't help but lean in, seeking pleasure.
Regarding Jack finally arriving in Sumeru to explore.
Collei, who guarded the outermost gate of Sumeru, showed her enthusiasm.
They kissed for a long time before she finally pulled away from Jack, breathless.
"Jack, I missed you so much~"
"If you missed me, why didn't you just come to my world? Didn't I place a teleportation anchor in Chenyu Vale?"
"Hmm, I felt a bit awkward going… After all, I'm still technically 'unwed' right now."
Unwed…
Jack had never heard of such a saying before.
"I don't recall our family having this 'unwed' ritual. It must be a rule you girls made up yourselves."
"Yes, everyone says that Jack follows his previous travel routes, marrying a girl from each place he passes. The last time, inviting us to the Raiden Shogun's wedding didn't count. He'll travel to Sumeru again later."
No wonder after he made contracts with Nilou and Dinazade last time, they never appeared in the Minecraft World again.
It turned out they were waiting for Jack to arrive in Sumeru before they would be "conquered" again.
However, unlike Inazuma, where he had to conquer seven people to perform the Sacred Sakura Tree ritual.
Most of the girls in Sumeru probably wouldn't have their first time in a wild battle.
"I am indeed planning to revisit Sumeru soon."
"So I'm the first?"
Collei looked at Jack expectantly.
Jack winked at her: "You have to keep it a secret from Nilou and the others~"
"Hehe, Forest Ranger Collei is tight-lipped and will absolutely not boast about it!"
Your smug expression doesn't look like you won't boast about it.
Jack shook his head.
He estimated that when he got to Nilou, he would be thoroughly drilled by the dancer lady.
Her jealousy could rival that of Kamisato Ayaka and others.
"Never mind that, I brought you something good this time. Where's Tighnari?"
"My master is treating several injured Forest Rangers."
"How did so many get injured again? Is there a new disease appearing in the forest?"
"It's not exactly a disease, but a monster with nine heads appeared in the rainforest swamp. The Forest Rangers were injured by it."
The two chatted as they walked.
Soon, they arrived at Tighnari's office.
A rather large tent wooden house.
"Master, Jack is here!"
Upon entering, Jack saw four or five injured people lying on stretchers.
Tighnari and several female Forest Rangers were preparing herbal medicine.
"Traveler, you're here. I apologize, I'm a bit busy right now. I'll trouble Collei to entertain you for a bit."
"No problem, I'm not some delicate young master of a merchant guild. It just so happens that I know a little about medicine, so I can lend you a hand."
Jack squatted down and examined the most severely injured person.
"His name is Lari. He's a god's eye wielder of the water element. If he hadn't insisted on covering the retreat for the rest of the squad, no one would have made it back today," Collei explained from the side.
"He was poisoned by a potent snake venom, but due to his water element god's eye, he has strong resistance and is temporarily out of danger. I'll check on the others."
Next, Jack examined the other four one by one.
Without exception, as ordinary people, they were all on the verge of death.
This was still thanks to Tighnari, who was familiar with the properties of herbs. If it were an ordinary Sumeru physician, these Forest Rangers would have long since died, leaving only their captain.
"Can Traveler save them?"
"Yes."
Jack gestured to Tighnari with his eyes.
Tighnari understood and dismissed the others, leaving only him, Jack, and Collei.
"Dispel Magic!"
Jack summoned his spellbook and, in projectile form, cast a status-removing spell on the five poisoned individuals.
This spell, derived from the properties of milk, can remove all negative statuses, especially those in the Minecraft World.
After the magic.
The bruises on the injured people's faces disappeared, but they still hadn't woken up.
"Didn't it work?"
"No, it has taken effect."
"That's right, it must be because their bodies are too weak."
Jack and Tighnari answered Collei alternately.
Then, both of them simultaneously used their grass element healing abilities.
After a dozen seconds, the injured individuals' breathing stabilized, and their tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Clearly, they had safely passed the danger period.
Seeing this, Tighnari breathed a sigh of relief and turned to give Jack a solemn bow.
"Thank you very much for your help, Traveler. If it weren't for you, their young lives would have been lost."
"It was just a small matter. However, I'm very interested in the nine-headed monster Collei mentioned. Can you tell me more about it?"
"No problem, Traveler, please follow me."
A moment later, Tighnari instructed the medical personnel waiting at the door to come in and continue caring for the injured.
He then led Jack and Collei to his room.
"It's like this: just this morning, something happened in the western forest…"
More than ten minutes later.
Jack understood what had happened here.
First, several Forest Rangers discovered an anomaly in the forest: a never-before-seen monster had appeared in a certain swampy area.
The squad leader, Lari, being a god's eye wielder, was bold and skilled, so he took his team to investigate.
As a result, they underestimated the monster's strength and were almost wiped out.
But it wasn't without good things.
They also probed some of the monster's abilities.
Potent poison, grass element and water resistance, and an absurd regeneration ability that allowed it to instantly regrow eight heads even if they were chopped off.
"Hiss~ That powerful? Does it really have no weakness?"
Collei involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She hated fighting monsters with such strong recovery abilities the most. The young girl had fighting passion, but it didn't last.
"This thing actually does."
Based on Tighnari's general description, Jack already knew which module this Hydra belonged to.
Within his dragon's adventure integration pack, there were two types of Hydras.
One was a Boss from the Twilight Forest. It had regeneration ability, but it didn't heal. It would only continuously increase from three heads to nine. Its attack methods were fireballs and flame breath, and its attack range increased with the number of heads. Its attack AI was extremely poor.
The other was an outdoor Boss found in swamp terrain in the open world. It possessed extremely terrifying regenerative power, healing faster as its health got lower. Its regeneration ability would only be suppressed after being affected by fire; otherwise, it was very difficult to kill.
The two were almost two extremes with opposing attributes.
