Logan Carter could see clearly and said anxiously, “Hey, put me down, I can walk on my own.”

Although he was a bit weak, after resting for so long, all the toxins in his body had been cleared out. He had regained much of his strength, and walking was no problem now.

This time, the female hunter didn’t object. She reached out and set Logan Carter down on the ground, giving a weak smile. “Looks like I really can’t go on. While that vampire hasn’t recovered yet, you should leave quickly. I’ll hold him off for you. There’s a horse outside the back door, you ride... cough cough... ride the horse and go.”

“...” Logan Carter was speechless. “Don’t you have green crystal ointment? Swallow it all, it works!”

The female hunter gave a bitter smile. “Heh~ That stuff is expensive, one bottle costs 30 Lant. What I just used was probably the last bit I had.”

Logan Carter scratched his head hard, feeling a bit frantic. “You knew the monster was a high-level vampire, so why did you come to save me? With your skills, weren’t you just looking for death?”

“Because... I’m a hunter... uh~~” The female hunter coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Logan Carter let out a long breath. “If we’re leaving, we leave together. Wait for me!”

She had risked her life to save him—if he ran off alone, that would be truly dishonorable.

After speaking, Logan Carter quickly walked over to a wooden shelf holding alchemical potions and started rummaging for anything useful: ‘Saltpeter powder, good stuff, take it. Glycerin... tsk~ what a treasure, take it too! Ah, this yellow clay-like thing is... diatomaceous earth... a real gem, take it, take it. Huh~ this is... tobacco... Tobacco can constrict the blood vessels in the stomach and reduce bleeding. This could be useful in an emergency!’

For ordinary people, using tobacco after a stomach perforation would be asking for death, but for a mutant hunter with incredible regenerative abilities, this stuff was actually a great hemostatic.

He grabbed the tobacco, took a piece of paper from the table, quickly wrapped it up, lit it with a candle, and held it to the female hunter’s mouth. “Quick! Quick! Take a few big drags, it’ll help stop the bleeding!”

“This stuff really works?” The female hunter looked at Logan Carter skeptically.

Logan Carter urged, “Why would I lie to you? Of course it can’t stop the bleeding completely, but it definitely helps.”

The female hunter knew the situation was urgent, so she took it and inhaled deeply a few times, immediately coughing violently and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, which looked quite alarming.

Logan Carter was startled, but forced himself to stay calm and ran toward the stairs again. “Wait for me, I’m going to the kitchen to grab some things.”

Without waiting for the female hunter’s response, Logan Carter quickly ran to the first-floor kitchen. The kitchen was a mess, and there was a big hole in one of the walls. Through the hole, he could see the vampire Gavin Clark, who was flailing around by the flowerbed like a madman.

‘Sigh~ Too bad I’m powerless, and the female hunter is badly injured. If only I had some equipment from the game—no, even just one powerful weapon, I could definitely take that bastard down!’

With a sigh, Logan Carter opened a cupboard. Inside were two clay jars, one large and one small. The big one was the size of a watermelon, the small one about the size of two fists.

Logan Carter took the small one, which was filled with pure white sea salt. In this era, such pure sea salt was a luxury—only a wealthy family like Carter could afford it. Ordinary people used bitter, astringent salt.

Logan Carter grabbed a handful of salt, rinsed it with water, and made a light saline solution, then gulped it down.

After heavy blood loss, drinking saline can quickly replenish electrolytes and effectively relieve symptoms of blood loss. After downing a big cup of saline, Logan Carter soon felt much better.

He didn’t stop moving, and ran to a wooden cabinet nearby. The cabinet had originally been locked, but now it was smashed. Logan Carter moved aside the broken boards and pulled out a grayish-white cloth bag, which contained high-quality refined flour, about ten jin.

In this era, such white flour was a luxury. Even the Carter family only used it during festivals to entertain important guests; the rest of the time, it was locked away.

Now he needed to escape, and to escape, he needed food—this flour could save his life.

Carrying the flour and the remaining sea salt, Logan Carter quickly returned to the alchemy room at the corner of the hallway.

Inside, the female hunter was already standing. The blood at the corner of her mouth had been wiped clean. When she saw Logan Carter, she walked over quickly. “That stuff really worked, I feel much better.”

“That’s good! Come on, let’s go to the second floor!”

“Why are we going to the second floor?” the female hunter asked in surprise, but seeing Logan Carter already turning away, she could only follow.

On the second floor, Logan Carter quickly walked to the room belonging to this body’s parents.

“There’s no time to mourn your parents! The effects of the mandrake poison won’t last much longer, we have to go!” The female hunter thought Logan Carter wanted to see his parents one last time.

Without looking back, Logan Carter pushed open the door and strode in. “Come on!”

“Why are you so troublesome?” The female hunter was a bit annoyed.

She had only been passing by, and when she realized the perpetrator was likely a high-level vampire, she’d wanted to turn and run. But then she discovered there were still living people in the wooden house.
