I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

The crescent-shaped sword energy was like a rainbow, cutting down boulders wherever it passed.

On the ground, a deep ravine stretched towards the charging Utu.

Utu had no choice but to stop and slam his fists forward.

A black ripple emanated from his fists, and the space itself seemed to ripple in response.

boom!

The sword energy shattered, but it also left a deep wound on Wutu's fists.

However, the wound began to heal rapidly as soon as it appeared.

Bloodline awakening grants Utu not only strength and speed, but also an extremely terrifying regenerative ability.

As for the long hair that Celia threw, he casually swatted it away, and it stuck in the cliff face hundreds of meters away.

"This level of sword energy isn't enough!" Utu grinned, looking at Charlotte standing on the stone pillar, but only saw a gradually dissipating phantom.

Utu's pupils dilated violently. With a furious roar, a layer of dark qi rippled out from around his body as he threw a punch behind him.

Charlotte appeared behind him and thrust her sword straight into his back, using the same method she had used to kill the werewolf earlier.

But Utu reacted much faster, dodging to the side and simultaneously throwing a punch at Charlotte's head.

If this sword pierces him, he will not die, but if this punch hits Charlotte, his head will shatter like a watermelon, and he will surely die.

A ruthless glint appeared in Utu's eyes. This reckless fighting style was the foundation upon which he had established himself in the adventurer community.

Jonah and Celia both realized something was wrong. Charlotte was in mid-air and had no way to avoid it. Even if this sword pierced through Utu, it wouldn't kill him. Instead, he might lose his life under Utu's fist.

boom!

Utu's fist smashed through Charlotte's head, and the afterimage vanished instantly.

"It's still an illusion!"

Utu was greatly alarmed.

A sword was thrust at him from the side, piercing under his armpit as he raised his fist.

The black aura shattered instantly, and his tough skin emitted a screeching sound, but it still couldn't stop the black sword from piercing his body. With a twist of his wrist, the sword swirled wildly inside his body before being pulled out.

In pain, Utu retaliated with a strike, but missed again, failing to even touch Charlotte's clothes.

Utu's eyes turned red, and the excruciating pain from his damaged internal organs made him increasingly frantic. He swung his fists, trying to smash Charlotte down.

But Charlotte was too fast, her ghostly movements darting around him, leaving a wound with each appearance, and Utu had no way to deal with her.

Even with his powerful recovery ability, Utu couldn't withstand Charlotte's relentless stabs that pierced his body. His body was like a blood bag with a hole in it, blood splattering everywhere, and his movements gradually became sluggish.

  

Jonah had already retreated to Celia's side, watching Utu being toyed with by Charlotte, and muttered in amazement, "The doctor is so strong. The black bear with awakened bloodline can't even touch his clothes. He's going to be bled to death."

"What exactly is his strength? A high-ranking knight? Or..." Celia was equally astonished. She had thought it would be a difficult battle, but it turned out to be a one-sided toy.

In just a few minutes, Utu had dozens of wounds on his body, his movements became increasingly sluggish, and his strength was clearly decreasing. The splattered blood stained the ground red.

Utu possesses formidable defense and resilient skin, rendering him impervious to ordinary weapons.

But the black sword in Charlotte's hand was so sharp that every strike left a deep wound on his body.

"Let me go, and I'll offer you all my treasures, and the Seven Star Fruit!" Wutu was stabbed in the ribs again, and staggered back two steps, clutching his wound, crying out in terror.

He felt despair today. Charlotte was too fast and her movements were too unpredictable. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't touch her at all.

His wounds were drawing blood, and what was worse, his internal organs were pierced and shredded. If he did not receive timely treatment, he would surely die.

"Is meeting me your good fortune?" Charlotte's voice rang out.

The sword pierced through Wutu's kneecap.

Utu's legs buckled, and he knelt down, throwing a powerful punch forward, but still missed.

Charlotte appeared behind Utu and brought her raised sword down.

A huge black bear head flew up and rolled more than ten meters away.

The massive, five-meter-tall body crashed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then remained motionless.

Thus, the Utu mercenary group was wiped out in Giant Stone Valley.

Charlotte sheathed her sword, bent down and untied a bulging bag hanging from Utu's waist. Inside, she found seven or eight gold coins and a handful of silver coins, which she casually put into her spatial ring.

He killed the man by himself; there was no need for him to share the loot with Jonah and his sister.

This guy is supposed to be a level four mercenary group leader, yet he only has 80,000 to 90,000 copper coins and doesn't even have a spatial ring. He's really poor.

"Total wipeout!"

Jonah and Celia still looked at the beheaded black bear with disbelief on their faces.

From beginning to end, the black bear orc did not touch Charlotte at all.

He was stabbed dozens of times, and then beheaded with a single sword stroke!

Charlotte's skill level was not higher than Utu's, otherwise she wouldn't have needed to use so many swords.

Yet, this high-ranking knight, with his ghostly movements, completely overwhelmed the orcs of the same rank who had awakened their bloodlines, which opened the eyes of the brother and sister.

This battle even overturned some of their previous understanding.

Charlotte is too strong!

Watching Charlotte collect loot from Utu and the three werewolves made them feel somewhat uneasy.

He was so skilled; it didn't seem like he was doing this for the first time.

Charlotte retrieved the money bags from the three werewolves, who were even poorer, possessing a total of just over 30,000 copper coins.

"Here, take this." Charlotte tossed one of the money bags containing ten thousand copper coins to Jonah.

"Please...please keep it all. We didn't do anything; you're the one who saved our lives." Jonah didn't even open the money bag before handing it back to him with both hands.

"Yes, thank you for saving us," Celia said, her face full of gratitude.

If Charlotte hadn't intervened today, she and her brother would surely have died at the hands of the Utu Mercenary Group, and her fate would probably have been even worse.

"It's nothing, we're partners, and your first thought was to cover my escape as well," Charlotte said with a smile. "They're all poor bastards, each only has about ten thousand copper coins. Take it, consider it your earnings for today."

Seeing that Charlotte didn't reach out to take the money bag, Jonah didn't refuse any longer, accepted it, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"You're injured. Let me treat your wounds." Charlotte looked at Jonah, whose arms and chest had several scratches from the battle with the werewolves, still bleeding profusely.

"Thank you for your help." Jonah did not refuse. Being injured in the wilderness was not a good thing, and it would be best to have a professional doctor help him.

Charlotte took out the medicine and suture needles, cleaned the wound, changed the dressing, and sutured it up. In no time, she had treated his wound.

Charlotte put away the suture needles and medicine, then drew her sword and slashed at a stone pillar riddled with holes.

The stone pillar was split in the middle and fell to both sides.

Startled, the two snow-white meteor mice rushed out of their two holes, spread their wings, and tried to fly away.

Charlotte lightly touched the ground with her feet, leaped across, and when she landed back on the ground, she had already caught two meteor rats in her hands.

With its snow-white body and fluffy long tail, it resembles a squirrel, but is even cuter.

"Is it this little thing?" Charlotte asked Jonah.

"Yes, those are them." Jonah nodded blankly, feeling numb. If he had caught the Meteor Rats like this before, he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble blowing smoke to drive them away.

"Then your mission is complete." Charlotte handed the two meteor rats forward.

Jonah quickly took out a bag used for small wild animals and put them in, shaking his head and saying, "You caught these. I'll give them to the person who commissioned them, and then bring them back to you after I get my commission."

Charlotte shook her head slightly: "No need. Consider these two meteor rats your spoils. What I want is the Seven Star Fruit."

The fact that the Utu mercenary group could stay here for several days means that the Seven Star Fruit must be a valuable treasure.

Since there was only one, he naturally didn't want to share it equally with Jonah and his sister. He would consider these two meteor rats as compensation for them.

Jonah was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Accepting the two meteor rats meant that he agreed to the distribution plan.

Although he didn't know what the Seven Star Fruit was, he could deduce from Utu and the others' attitude that it was extremely valuable.

Charlotte had just saved them and given them something worth 30,000 copper coins. No matter how much the Seven Star Fruit was worth, it was not something they should dare to hope for.

"I'll go take a look ahead." Charlotte turned and walked towards the direction where Utu and the others had appeared. After picking the so-called Seven Star Fruit, this wilderness trip would be considered complete.

After wandering around the Valley of Giant Rocks, Charlotte finally found the small tree covered with white spots in an inconspicuous crevice. At the top of the tree grew a vermilion fruit, about the size of a fist, with seven golden stars on it, making it look extremely precious.

"Seven-Star Fruit, it seems this is the fruit." Charlotte's eyes lit up, and he reached out to pick the fruit, but he stopped in front of the fruit. He noticed that the bottom star still had half a horn that had not fully grown.

"Could it not be fully ripe yet? They were waiting here before, probably waiting for it to grow seven stars." Charlotte withdrew her hand, not in a hurry to pick it.

"Brother, what is a Seven Star Fruit?" Celia asked curiously, watching Jonah digging a hole.

"I don't know either, but for these guys to be staking out this place for days, it must be something valuable." Jonah smiled, then added, "This thing should rightfully belong to Dr. Charlotte; let's not ask about it."

"Hmm." Celia nodded, helping to move the large black bear into the pit, and then asked curiously, "The doctor is so strong, why doesn't he ever show it in the Abyss? Everyone thinks he's just a doctor whose magical essence has been destroyed."

"Perhaps he doesn't want to be too high-profile, or perhaps... he doesn't want some people to know how powerful he is." Jonah shook his head and instructed, "Don't mention what happened today to anyone when you get back. If Dr. Charlotte doesn't intend for others to know about his strength, we can't let this get out of the loop."

"Oh." Celia nodded solemnly.

Jonah dug four pits and buried the four bodies in them.

In the wilderness, there's no need to deal with the corpses; overnight, wild animals would devour them completely, leaving not even a bone.

However, Jonah, having nothing better to do, decided to let them leave with some dignity.

The two buried the body and waited another half hour before Charlotte returned.

"Let's go, we can go back now," Charlotte said with a smile.

He only picked and stored the seven-star fruit after it was fully ripe, then went back to ask Harry about the price and figure out how to sell it.

"You buried the bodies?" Charlotte looked at Jonah with some surprise, glancing at the few mounds of earth slightly raised in the corner.

"They were in the way here, so I dug a hole and buried them," Jonah said with a simple smile.

"That's good." Charlotte nodded. He felt no pity for the four orcs, but he didn't harbor much hatred either.

"Doctor, I know another route back. If I remember correctly, there might be golden vines there. Should we go that way?" Jonah asked.

"Is the route safe?" Charlotte asked.

Jonah nodded: "There will be some level one or two magical beasts, but they don't pose a great threat. We used to travel this route often."

Charlotte understood; the reason they had taken the long way around that morning was to take care of him.

Now that he has displayed such great strength, he naturally doesn't need any extra care and can take this shorter path.

"Alright, let's take this route then." Charlotte nodded. The golden vine was very important to him. The clinic was out of stock, and if he could dig up a few, he could use them for a while longer.

Jonah continued to lead the way, but this time Celia didn't deliberately walk at the back; instead, she followed beside Charlotte.

Perhaps having witnessed Charlotte's strength, the atmosphere on the return journey was much more relaxed. Jonah chatted with Charlotte along the way, telling him many interesting stories and anecdotes from his years in the wilderness.

Of course, danger lurks everywhere when hunting in the wilderness.

The brother and sister have encountered dangerous situations like today more than once, but they have always been lucky and have survived.

On the way back, we encountered more wild animals, including a level 2 berserk wild boar.

However, Charlotte didn't even have a chance to make a move. The black boar, weighing over a thousand pounds, was knocked to the ground by Jonah's headbutt, and then Celia finished it off with a spear.

The brother and sister displayed a rather brutal side.

The orcs' strength advantage was demonstrated in them.

"Hehe, although it doesn't have a magic core, the meat of the raging boar is quite good. I can get a good price by selling it to the butcher." Jonah carried the boar, which weighed over a thousand pounds, on his back, as happy as a fool.

This wild boar brought our wilderness adventure to a perfect close.

Normally, to ensure safety, he might only cut off one pig's hoof to take with him, but today, with Charlotte accompanying him, he simply carried the whole pig back.

Charlotte wasn't envious; he already had several wild animals that Celia had caught for him in his spatial ring: two rabbits, two pheasants, and a medium-sized goat—enough to feed them for a while.

"There's a golden vine on the stone wall ahead," Celia suddenly said, pointing ahead.

Charlotte looked up and saw a golden vine growing on the cliff face to her left, stretching for dozens of meters. Its palm-sized golden leaves shimmered in the sunlight, quite dazzling.

"Wow, what a big tree! This root must be quite large too." Jonah put the wild boar aside, climbed up the cliff, and took out a small hoe to start digging at the roots.

"We need the leaves too, right?" Celia took out a large cloth bag and climbed up the cliff to pick leaves as well.

This was something Charlotte wanted, so naturally he couldn't just sit idly by and went to help as well.

In no time, Jonah dug out a thick root that was five meters long, while Celia picked off all the leaves, stuffing a large cloth bag full and pressing it down very tightly.

"Thank you for your trouble." Charlotte put the roots and leaves into his spatial ring. These were enough for him to refine hundreds of bottles of golden stamina potions, which was also a great gain.

Continuing their return journey, Celia discovered two more golden vines, completely filling Charlotte's spatial ring.

"It seems you truly have an amazing talent for finding medicinal herbs, Celia," Charlotte said admiringly, holding up a section of root that was too big to fit in her hand.

The two golden vines were hidden in the dense bushes; if Celia hadn't been so observant, he wouldn't have been able to find them at all.

Celia blushed slightly at the compliment and explained, "I can smell it; I can detect it as long as it's within a certain range."

Charlotte seemed to understand something, and immediately said, "This is an important material for me to refine the Golden Stamina Potion. In the future, if you encounter it in the wilderness, please be sure to dig it up and bring it back. I will buy it from you for 2000 copper coins each. I want as many as you have."

"If we happen to run into you, we'll just dig it up for you. What's the point of talking about money?" Jonah said with a smile.

"No, this is a commissioned task. If you don't accept the payment, I won't commission you." Charlotte's tone was firm. Although digging up golden vines was simple, their enormous size made them cumbersome to carry, and there was no reason for them to take up their usable space for nothing.

The cost of a single golden vine, which is 2000 copper coins, is within his acceptable range. When averaged out, it amounts to less than ten copper coins per bottle of potion.

Seeing Charlotte's firm resolve, Jonah had no choice but to accept her offer.

A golden vine costs 2000 copper coins, which means they will have a guaranteed income when they go into the wilderness. If they can't hunt any prey, they can look for golden vines, and their day won't be wasted.

With Celia around, finding the Golden Vine is not difficult; it's much easier than catching the Meteor Rat.

The rest of the journey went very smoothly. They even ate the lunchbox Charlotte had brought along the way. After walking for about an hour, the group safely left the wilderness and returned to the crossroads.

"Doctor, it's still early. We need to go to the Adventurers' Guild in Kalva to hand over the Meteor Rat to the patron and sell this pig while we're at it. Are you going straight back to the Abyss?" Jonah asked Charlotte.

"That's right, then we'll part ways here." Charlotte nodded; he had no intention of going into Calva today.

"If you ever want to go into the wilderness again, just let me know," Jonah said with a good-natured smile. "Although I'm not very strong, I'm quite familiar with the paths on the outskirts."

Charlotte smiled upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "No problem, I'll go into the mountains with you again next time I have time."

"Goodbye, Doctor." Celia and Charlotte waved goodbye, and the three of them parted ways.

It was only around two or three in the afternoon, and there was still some time before dark. Charlotte glanced in the direction of Calva, then turned and walked towards the entrance to the abyss.

This trip to the wilderness was quite fruitful.

The battle with the black bear spirit was extremely beneficial to him.

UI.

The evil god has not lied to me.
