A Moving Corpse
The dwarf soaked the stream's bank after they pulled him out of the water. Sergio rushed forward, taking out several vials from his pouch, looking more prepared than ever.
'Did he prepare after Yuxi's incident?' Nikolai felt sorry that he made the alchemist this worried, but it paid off to be ready.
"Bossman, hurry!" Sergio opened the dwarf's mouth and poured a potion. He then began pressing on the dwarf's chest in an attempt to save him.
"Hurry for what?" Nikolai jumped over the stream and landed next to Sergio. "This dwarf is dead."
"We can still make it." Sergio took off the lid of another vial, but Nikolai grabbed his hand before the alchemist could pour it.
"You're wasting our resources over a corpse," Nikolai said lightly. "Didn't your notice? He wasn't floating. That means there's no air in his lung anymore. It has been a while since he died."
