The immortal body is called Teevat

Chapter 33: Aftermath of Victory

Perhaps it was because the slaughter of these guys weaker than the Frost Armor Hillock King made Wu Cheng lose interest in killing, or perhaps it was because Wu Cheng observed that the Hillock people were about to be defeated and the caravan was safe.

This also led to Wu Cheng's reduced interest in killing these hill people, just like the aftermath of a romantic relationship, he no longer had the interest or energy.

Therefore, Wu Cheng only symbolically pursued and killed a dozen of the Hillilians before stopping. These Hillilians who were frightened by Wu Cheng's killing naturally did not dare to bring bad luck upon themselves, so they stayed away from the rear defense line of the caravan where Wu Cheng was.

They never want to touch the defense line of the terrifying undead humans again in their lives.

After Wu Cheng saw that there were no more unruly Hillock people around him, he lost the will to continue fighting because he had no target. So he should take a break. Killing these Hillock people was getting boring.

Wu Cheng put away the rock element sickle in his hand, then returned to the grass not far from the body of the Frost Armor Hill King and sat down to quietly watch the caravan in the distance resisting the Hill people.

After a while, Wu Cheng saw a red-haired man holding a big sword flashing above the head of the hillbilly like a dragonfly skimming the water—it was Diluk.

Wu Cheng felt that Diluk was getting closer and closer to him, and Wu Cheng thought that the caravan might be afraid that the defense line at the rear could not withstand the attack of these hillbillies, so Diluk planned to come over to help support.

But Wu Cheng glanced around at the empty battlefield and could only spread his hands to express his helplessness. He could only blame these hillbillies for not being able to withstand his attacks and not giving Diluk a chance to show his skills.

After Diluk arrived, he heard Wu Cheng's request for a bath and told him directly: "Not now, wait until this defensive battle is over before taking a bath. Are the children injured?"

Wu Cheng smiled at Diluk and said, "No, when the Hillilks attacked, I told them to hide in the carriage and not come out. They are fine now."

Diluk asked with some concern: "Are you sure you are okay with all the blood on you? You can't take your injuries lightly. What will the children do if you are hurt?"

Wu Cheng stood up and turned around to show if he had any wounds on his body. Then Wu Cheng said, "Look, the blood on my body is from the Hillilchur people. I don't have any wounds on my body. Don't worry about me being injured and still trying to be strong."

Diluk was slightly shocked after hearing Wu Cheng's words. He didn't expect that Wu Cheng could protect these children with his own strength, and looking at Wu Cheng, he really looked unharmed.

Diluk sighed once again, "You are such an incredibly strong genius. Now that you have nothing else to do here, I will go back to help. Take care."

When Diluk looked at Wu Cheng's condition, this scene really gave Diluk a little shock of immortality.

Although Diluk's knight armor was also stained with a lot of Hilichurls' blood due to the fierce battle with the Hilichurls just now, the amount of blood on Wu Cheng's body was not on the same level.

Diluk admitted that it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a bloody scene after a battle like the one in Wucheng, and he was deeply shocked.

Diluk looked around the rather empty battlefield but could not see a single living Hilichurl. He could only sigh that Wu Cheng was indeed quite powerful. He was also glad that Wu Cheng was his friend, not his enemy.

Now that he had confirmed that Wu Cheng and the children were safe, he should go back and solve the plight of the others. Diluk planned to continue charging into the group of hillbillies and perform precise beheadings.

Just as Diluk turned around to get help, he heard people cheering for victory. Diluk looked closely and saw the Hilichurls fleeing in large numbers.

It seemed to Diluk that the war was over and there was not much point in him going back now. Diluk's tense nerves completely relaxed at this moment.

After a long period of high-intensity fighting, he was already extremely exhausted. In addition, his tense mind was now relaxed, and the soreness in his muscles all over his body began to surge, reminding him that he needed to rest quickly.

The blade of Diluc's Zephyr Greatsword had already had many gaps due to the continuous falling slashes, but for the wealthy Leggenfend family, it was just a Zephyr Greatsword, so they could just buy another one.

So Diluk found a piece of grass nearby without any Hilichurl corpses, casually inserted his Zephyr Greatsword into the grass, and sat down next to Wu Cheng without any aristocratic etiquette.

Diluk teased Wu Cheng about his request to take a shower, "I'll have the caravan leader take you to a nearby pool to wash off the blood and change into a new set of clothes. Your clothes get torn every time you fight."

Wu Cheng smiled and said to Diluk, "Okay, I don't mind doing that. I saw you jumping and dancing on the tip of your knife among the Hilichurls just now. It was so cool."

Diluk continued, "The reason I came here to help you is because I saw a dozen Hillichill thugs coming to your place, and I was worried that you might not be able to resist, so I came here."

Wu Cheng replied: "Fortunately, I am still strong enough to withstand their attacks, but they are not strong enough for me to kill, so they all ran away. What kind of hillickel thugs are you if you don't even have the courage?"

Diluk smiled awkwardly and pointed at the Frost Armored Hilichook King next to him and said, "You're not bad either. You took out so many Hilichooks by yourself. I think you also took out the Frost Armored Hilichook King next to you."

Wu Cheng quickly waved his hands and said modestly: "It's not easy to deal with it. When I fought him, he almost killed me. It was very dangerous. I had to fight back and kill him in the end."

After Diluk heard what Wu Cheng had said, he warned Wu Cheng very seriously: "Don't try to be brave when facing a creature like the Hilliard King. There are more than a dozen children behind you who hope you are alive. You can't joke with your own life."

Wu Cheng also understood the concern hidden in Diluk's warning. Wu Cheng nodded to show that he understood, and said no more.

Diluk said to Wu Cheng in an apologetic tone: "On behalf of the Legenfind family, I apologize to you. If you hadn't followed our caravan, nothing would have happened today. Sorry."

Wu Cheng looked at Diluk who was serious and said with a smile: "How could that be? If it weren't for your Legenfend family's willingness to help us children, I don't know what to do next. I have to thank you, Legenfend family."

Diluk seemed to be relieved, and he heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "In fact, our Leggenfend family has also made enemies with many organizations. For example, today's attack by the Hillichuls is not an ordinary Hillichul robbery. You also know this, right?"

Wu Cheng nodded to indicate that he understood. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was some conspiracy behind such a large-scale robbery of a caravan by the Hillichul people.

Diluk sat for a few minutes to recover his strength, then said to Wu Cheng, "We should go back. You reek of blood. Let's go back and give you a bath and a change of clothes."

Wu Cheng stood up and said, "Wait a minute, talk to those kids first. Otherwise they will be worried about me."

Diluk spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's up to you. That's what I'm waiting for."

Wu Cheng knew that his bloody appearance would scare the children in the carriage, so he gathered a few handfuls of grass leaves and used them to wipe off the blood on his face and hands as much as possible, so that his face would not look so scary and hideous to the children.

When Diluk saw Wu Cheng doing this, he knew that it was to avoid leaving a shadow on the children, so he took out a kettle full of water from his God's Eye space and handed it to him.

Diluk said, "Don't use the grass leaves to wipe it. It won't be clean and it will hurt. Wash your face and hands with water."

Wu Cheng took the kettle from Diluk, said thank you, and then used the water in the kettle to wash the blood off his face and hands.

Wu Cheng was always worried that the blood on his face and hands could not be washed clean, so he washed it several times until he had used up all the water in the kettle.

But Wu Cheng still felt unsafe, so he asked Diluk, "Look at the blood on my face and hands. Have you washed it clean?"

Diluk took a closer look and nodded, saying, "It's almost clean now."

"That's good, yeah." After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he walked towards the two carriages with the children. The children in the two carriages were quite nervous when they heard the approaching footsteps.

Ke Lai asked the people outside the car in a very small voice: "Brother, is that you? What's the situation outside now?"

Wu Cheng replied, "It's me. The hillbillies outside have been driven away. You can come out now. You don't have to stay in the carriage any longer."

The children's nervousness was finally relieved. In the carriage, they could hear the strange cries of the nearby hill people, and the chaotic noise gradually increased their psychological pressure.

The children really wanted to get out of the carriage to help Wu Cheng resist the Qiuqiu people, but because of Wu Cheng's previous instructions, the children did not act on their own.

The children jumped out of the carriage one by one and saw Wu Cheng covered in blood. Although Wu Cheng was covered in blood, it did give them a certain visual impact.

But they had seen their brother's special abilities in the Winter Laboratory, and he would not die even if he was hit by the power of the missionary demon. Not to mention these hillbilly fry.

So the children approached Wu Cheng one after another and did not ask if he was injured. Instead, they asked him how the battle went.

Wu Cheng patiently told them briefly about his battle experience just now, and after Wu Cheng finished speaking, he received a lot of admiring gazes from the children.

In particular, there was a boy named Depalad who couldn't help but envy his brother's feat of killing everyone, tearing the Hilliard King apart with his bare hands and chopping off his head and kicking it like a ball.

Because Depalad was a sand dweller from Xumi, and the sand dwellers of Xumi had been taught since childhood that the strong were respected, when Depalad heard about Wu Cheng's battle experience, his eyes lit up.

He asked Wu Cheng excitedly: "Brother, with this strength, he is at least the leader of a large mercenary group in our desert. Do you think I can kill the Frost Armor Hill King with these few punches?"

Then he punched the air a few times with all his strength, as if he was hitting the Hilliel King.

Wu Cheng looked at Depalaid's passionate expression, but he couldn't put down the opponent so he could only say, "I'm afraid it won't work, but I believe that as long as you work hard, you will be able to tear the Hillichu King apart one day."

Depalaid smiled innocently and said, "I will. I will be the first man in the whole desert to tear the Hill King apart with my bare hands."

Diluk was waiting for Wu Cheng to finish talking to the children. Diluk was surprised that the children were not afraid of Wu Cheng. They seemed to know that nothing could happen to Wu Cheng.

Diluk didn't think too much about it. He just thought that children who could be with a monster like Wu Cheng would have some different characteristics from ordinary people.

The children chatted with Wu Cheng for a while, and then Wu Cheng said, in order not to keep Diluk waiting any longer: "Okay, okay, look at me, I'm covered in blood. Wait until I'm clean after taking a bath, and then you can ask me, okay?"

The children said "Okay" in unison, and did not ask Wu Cheng any more questions. Then they quietly returned to the center of the caravan with Diluk.

...

The leader of the caravan came to Cripps' carriage. Cripps saw the leader of the caravan running towards him quickly and asked, "What's going on? Why are you so anxious? Has the line of defense been breached? If the line of defense is breached, abandon the goods and run for your life first."

The head of the caravan said to Cripps excitedly with a look of joy on his face: "Master Cripps, we have driven back those Hill people. We just counted the goods and found that none of them were damaged. This is simply a rare miracle!"

Cripps let out a long breath and asked the caravan leader, "Are there any casualties? Have you confirmed this?"

The team leader hesitated for a moment and said to Cripps, "We haven't checked it yet, but many people in the caravan are only injured, and no one has died yet."

Cripps smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. Are the children okay?"

When the head of the caravan heard Cripps asking those children, he suddenly started talking and began to describe things to Cripps in an endless stream.

"Master Cripps, why are you joking here? How could those children be in trouble? The people who were defending the hillocks behind the caravan saw that the child named Wu Cheng was slaughtering the hillocks crazily. He really should not be underestimated. They were all killing like crazy."

Kripsdovi was a little confused. How could a child from Wucheng be so crazy about slaughtering the hill people? However, adhering to the principle of not doubting easily, he asked the leader of the caravan again: "Is what you just said true?"

The head of the caravan patted his chest and assured Cripps: "How could it be false? Master Cripps, those caravan members who were defending in the back said it. I can guarantee that it is absolutely true. The Qiuqiu people were killed and dared not to continue the attack."

Cripps pondered for a while and continued to ask, "Where did Diluk go? He was nearby just now, why didn't I see him? This kid makes me worry every day."

The head of the caravan said, "Master Diluk is with the powerful Wu Cheng and the other kids. Master Cripps, do you have any instructions?"

Cripps crossed his arms and told the caravan leader, "I didn't give any orders to them, but let's find a nearby camp to rest today. You can drink as much wine as you want tonight, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow."

After hearing Cripps' order, the head of the caravan performed a standard Mond salute and then stepped back to prepare for what Master Cripps had requested.

After sending the caravan leader away, Cripps' face gradually darkened, and he kept thinking in his mind, "Is this the work of the Abyss Cult or the Fatui?"

……

The caravan members were cleaning up the battlefield. They were going to move the bodies of the Hillock people away or bury them on the spot to prevent the corpses nearby from rotting and causing plague in the future.

Those injured people were naturally unable to take on the responsibility of cleaning up the battlefield for the caravan, so they lined up in a long queue in front of the caravan's doctor, who was treated non-stop by the caravan's doctor, Maxim.

At this time, Maxim cursed in his heart: "These damn hillock people actually caused so many casualties. If I could invent a weapon that can kill the hillock people faster, I wouldn't have to treat so many wounded people."

At this time, the head of the caravan came over to convey Cripps' order: "Master Cripps said that we will camp and rest at the next campsite when we arrive today, and to celebrate this victory, you can drink as much wine as you want tonight."

The people of Mond are naturally fond of drinking, so when they heard that they could drink as much wine as they wanted tonight, everyone was very motivated, and even the speed of moving and burying the bodies of the Hillock people increased by several points.

After Wu Cheng arrived at the center of the caravan, he followed the guidance of the caravan leader to a small lake to take a bath. After Wu Cheng finished bathing, the entire pond was dyed pink like a girl.

At this time, Wu Cheng finally washed the blood off his body, and the sticky texture on his body disappeared. After that, Wu Cheng changed into a set of monotonous black Liyue-style clothes.

Wu Cheng looked at the clothes carefully and felt a little disgusted. This clothes was not as good-looking as his previous one which was black and red.

But thinking that his clothes would become tattered every time he fought, he didn't investigate further. After all, why should disposable items be aesthetically pleasing?

Soon the caravan cleaned up the battlefield, and the caravan, which was basically unscathed, continued to move towards the Dawn Winery...
