"Guys, there are not any monsters in the near area. So, we can stop here for some time until others catch up with us. We have already used so much time hunting that horde so they must be nearby." Gojo said returning from the same direction he left in.
"Okay, put a temporary set up here until Vero returns. He must be hating me right now because he never liked to be alone with girls especially a child at that. He finds their personality annoying but I guess this time it might bore some fruit." Gojo said teasing the Rimuru who started smiling foolishly after hearing it like he could imagine the scenes said by Gojo.
"Oh! There come our other groups. But why are they all together? Isn't they supposed to come one after the other while making some time difference?" Nappa said rough when he saw others coming especially Zoro whom he hated for some reason. Zoro held both his swords in two hands while the swords were red with blood.
This brought everyone from the fantasy worlds where they were imagining the Cold Vero and Loli bickering with each other like love birds do.
"You barbaric Nappa, can't you see others are hurt, and you are making comments on time instead of helping them." Rimuru is moving toward the coming group so he can help those who are hurt and need the help of a person to carry or walk.
"Where are your supplies? Wait I have some medicines and healing jell in with me. I will bring that." Rimuru said when he saw that none of them had any backpacks with them except for Zoro.
"They stole it from us." The member of the ranged team who is most hurt spoke in an anger-filled voice.
Zoro didn't stop walking until he was next to Gojo.
"Zoro, tell me what happened with you guys. And where were you when all this happened? Don't tell me you left them alive after they did to you?" Gojo was asking Zoro while making serious eye contact with him.
Zoro bend his head trying to evade this eye contact while saying, "Yes, two of them ran away. We were surrounded by monsters and while I was hunting them teams seemed to work on them, especially ranged teams. Monsters were really strong on defence And speed aspect. I was trapped in that situation when they attacked the team. They stole all their alloy weapons and supplies they had. I killed the 13 people but the other 2 got lucky."
"You disappointed me, Zoro. I never expected this incompetence from you. All of the team members are still alive so I will let go this time. But your training martial arts will be changed by me, or you can that old Meto bastard." Gojo said while forcefully making Zoro raise his face to meet his eyes. His grip on Zoro's chin was strong.
"Leader, it's not his fault…" someone tried to say this.
"Shut up! You are just a hired person or you would be crippled just for making excuses and cutting my conversation. Anyway, after going to the next shelter, you are fired from the team. You will be paid fully in terms of agreed monetary rewards." Gojo looked pissed at that man.
This remark made the person who it was said to shut his mouth from uttering a single word while serving as a lesson for others.
When Zoro heard the name Meto, he looked scared. A sudden feeling arose in his body like a cold sword blade placed on his neck.
Arc could not understand why was Zoro scared at the mention of that old man. When he can kill many monsters and humans attacking at the same time.
'Old man must be quite strong then.' Arc thought.
"As we are all together, so make a temporary set up for newly arrived people as well after that we will wait for Vero. There are a lot of the monsters killed here. Except those claimed by the person who killed it, you can take other monster bodies to consume them." Nappa said.
Arc claimed the body of ordinary monsters he had killed and also told others that he could not find the body of the evolved monster he had killed and it had a wound on his head and told them to give it to him if they found it.
Others also agreed, Nappa and Rimuru also claimed the monsters killed by them.
Vero wasn't there to claim their monster so no one held back in claiming those monsters to consume, as no one mentioned about it to them who killed them.
Consuming the monsters was the best to recover energy quickly even if those rank monster gene points were already maxed out.
Rimuru has the healing gel which was the prototype product of a huddle experimental bio-chemical research centre, which is under his father's ownership.
"Use the healing gel on the wounds that are deadly and only apply a little of it to the wounds because after you apply it your body's whole body will be concentrated on the healing the wounds. All energy except which is necessary for the body to survive will be guided in wound healing, your body will be sent to in unconscious state like a hibernation of the snow animals so you can heal better and faster." Rimuru explained this to others.
Others nodded accepting the box made of alloy in which there was a gel of transparent colour.
The box was looking very hard from its texture. And it was opened already by Rimuru before he passed it to others.
This new product was not ready to launch due to it using the energy of the body in excessive amounts to heal wounds quickly, it's energy utilization is inefficient and a normal human would die out of energy. So, for now, it can only be used by people with higher gene points.
