The two Yabbas had fainted, but even so, they still seemed anxious.

Every now and then, they would shake violently. Their lips moved as if they were talking in their sleep, but their voices were unclear. Their faces changed between dark and pale. It was eerie.

After a few seconds, something even scarier happened. Mana started seeping out of Master Green’s body.

When a Magician’s life was at risk, they would lose control of their bodies. Things such as Mana leakage would occur. But Green was unhurt and uninjured right now.

Seeing these symptoms, Link thought of his past experiences in the game and had an idea. These two must have been hurt by the Void. He was fine because he had reached Level-10.

He brought the two unconscious Yabbas back. After around 1000 feet, Link couldn’t feel the Void’s aura anymore.

Now, he looked at them again and found that the Yabbas had calmed down. They laid there without moving. Master Green’s body stopped leaking Mana as well. However, they still weren’t okay. Their pallor kept changing, and their breathing was weak. It felt like they could die at any time.

They were at a corner with an indented platform by the side. It seemed to be where the Yabbas usually placed maintenance equipment.

The platform was very dry, so Link put the two Yabbas on it and sat to the side. He took out a bottle of green Spring City hard liquor from his dimensional storage gear and mixed in a bottle of medium-level medicine.

There was a sizzle. When the light red medicine came into contact with the liquor, it bubbled immediately. Link quickly put in the wooden stopper and shook it violently. Three minutes later, the liquor and medicine were mixed well, forming an amber-colored foam. It looked like beer from earth, but it was like a gel.

Link’s actions may have seemed crude, but this was actually really effective. It was called “soul-retrieval gel” and was great at healing injuries caused by the Void!

When he was done, he took out a steel pot kept in preparation for surviving in the wild. After setting it up, he poured clear water into the pot, as well as an Araguan potato and a smoked rabbit leg.

He chopped up the potato and tore the rabbit leg into pieces, dumping it all into the pot. After adding some spices, Link took out one of the Yabba bombs. He carefully modified the activation rune on the outside.

After a while, it “exploded” gently in Link’s hands. Actually, “exploded” was too much of an exaggeration. More accurately, it started burning like a piece of coal.

Link placed this burning “bomb” under the pot and started waiting patiently.

After around ten minutes, the water boiled and started bubbling. A bit longer, the smell of good food wafted out, growing thicker.

At that time, Master Green’s finger twitched, and his head shook. A few seconds later, he gripped his head and moaned.

“What happened? My head hurts.”

“Don’t move. You’re in pretty bad shape.” As Link spoke, he helped Green up to rest against the wall. He poured some of the soul-retrieval gel onto his hand and gently rubbed it against Green’s forehead.

Green was very weak. He allowed Link to do whatever without moving. After a few minutes of rubbing, Green realized with surprise, “Hey, my forehead feels warm, like a gust of heat going into my head. The headache is much better. Ah, it feels so nice.”

Hearing that his voice was stronger, Link said, “Alright, do it by yourself.”

On the other side, Lannie was awake too. Her situation was much worse than Green’s. As soon as she woke up, she gripped her head and curled up, crying, “Ah, it hurts, it hurts! My head is gonna split open!”

Link walked over. He poured out some more gel and started rubbing for Lannie. She was much weaker than Green and was hurt more by the Void. It was a long while because she recovered and let out a long sigh, finally relaxing.

“Master Link, what happened?” Lannie asked weakly from the ground.

The meat broth was ready now. Link took out some bowls and spooned the thick potato rabbit soup. Giving them each a bowl, he explained, “I don’t really know either. If I guessed correctly, it should be the Void’s aura that seeped out of the node, and you were influenced by this.”

The two Yabbas weren’t listening to him at all. They were both slurping down the soup. Link’s cooking skills were actually very basic, and this rabbit soup was far from a delicacy. But for some reason, both Green and Lannie ate dramatically.

Link’s bowls were for humans and were very big to Yabbas. However, the two small Yabbas cleaned the giant bowl in seconds.
