Chapter 19: Prey
Stone's head went after the snow leopard alone, and Nuén and Gothrum gathered their weapons, and they walked back to Oss and asked, "How's it going?" "Os, is it serious?"
"Gothrum, a beautiful hammer, though I didn't see it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Nuen, thank you as well. Os, who had survived, relieved himself, first thanked his brothers, then pointed to his wounds, "Look at these holes, they are still bleeding, but I don't feel pain, it's strange." ”
"Os, you didn't lie to us? Does it really hurt? Kudran took the space backpack handed over by Tallon Ex and took out a lot of bottles and cans from it, but Kudran spoke in a low tone and looked depressed.
"Don't do that, Kudran, I'm really fine. Although I don't know what's going on, I'm definitely not lying to you, look at my expression, look at my forehead, I didn't even sweat, and now it really doesn't hurt. Oss comforted Kudran in turn, "Kudran, don't look like that, I'm alive and well." Oh my! Help me stop the bleeding, I'm a little dizzy......"
The dwarves were in a hurry again, and as Tallon Ex finished cleaning the wounds, Kudran poured some powder from a light gray bottle and applied it evenly to all four of Oss's wounds. He then poured some of the same grass-green potion from a grass-green jar, which he poured onto two pieces of gauze. Kudran put a piece of gauze on the wounds in front and behind Oss, and finally bandaged him with a piece of gauze.
When all this was done, Kudran's expression still looked annoyed, and he jerked up and said, "It's all my fault, woo." Uncle Gal told us to take care of you, but he had only been gone for half a day, and we left you injured. ”
"Kudran, don't, don't." Oss hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's also because that snow leopard is too cunning, taking advantage of the fact that you all jumped on the fault and suddenly attacked." Well, speaking of which, it's so smart, it's the best prey to deal with, haha, I really don't blame you, it's me who is too weak. ”
It's just that Oss's explanation was useless, and before he could persuade Kudran, Nuén also sniffled and said sadly: "It's all because we were too careless, didn't keep in formation, and left you alone behind." We swore an oath at noon, but we didn't protect you. ”
At this point, although Oss was very touched by everyone's self-blame, he felt that he could not continue on the topic, otherwise there would only be two results, either his brothers would cry in frustration, or his brothers would send him back to Karanos, absolutely no three.
"Kudran, what's that light gray powder? What is the herbal green of grass? It feels so itchy, and it's warm. Oss clutched his bandaged wound and moved his shoulder slightly.
"The light gray is dried and ground heather, and the grass-green juice is made from bone-setting grass by Aunt Rainer Stone, the town's physician." Kudran was easily distracted by Oss.
"Come, Ex, pull me up." Oss put his left hand on Talon's shoulder, his right hand grabbed a few times, then clenched his fist, grinned happily, "I don't hurt at all, you see, I can make a fist, which of you will let me give a punch?" ”
Tallon Aix and Kudran helped Oss up from left to right, and Oss said to Nuen: "Nuen, it seems that you have to practice more, to tell you a little trick, when shooting at a moving target, you must predict the trajectory of the target in advance, calculate the direction in which the target may move, remember this word, oh, it is called prejudgment, prejudgment." ”
"Pre-judgment, anti-judgment, anti-judgment. Okay, I remember, I just shot at the beast's body, but it dodged as soon as it retreated, and I won't miss next time. Similarly, Nuén was easily distracted by Oss.
Oss himself was secretly happy in his heart, and then looked at Gothrum: "Gothrum, it is said that the dwarven warrior has a very, very powerful skill, called the Storm Hammer, did you use it just now?" Can you tell me about it? ”
As a result, before Gothrum could answer, his third brother Talon Aix dismantled his platform: "Second brother, that's just a brute force throw, which is the Storm Hammer." The Storm Hammer is a blow that uses its own power to communicate with the power of the earth, converging the power of the earth on the weapon, and throwing it with all its might. ”
However, Gosrum was very unconvinced: "Ex, what kind of nonsense are you telling the truth! What is it called just a brute force throw, but I repelled that snow leopard, okay! ”
"You're brute force, you've seen whose Stormhammer misses the target!" Talon Aix retorted.
Looking at the two brothers who were arguing and singing a diagonal play to tear each other down, Oss felt a little ashamed, as if he himself was suspected of sowing discord. However, at the thought that his brothers had been successfully distracted by him, Oss triumphantly extended a "yes" behind his back with his intact left hand.
"Aren't you cold?" Kudran reminded from the sidelines.
"Huh?!" Oss looked down at himself, only to realize that he was indeed not wearing a shirt, "You don't say that I don't feel it, I really don't feel cold, but when did I get so well?" ”
Kudran helped Oss get dressed, and said, "But you don't look cold, you're shivering, and your lips are purple and cold!" ”
Oss touched his body and cheek, the touch was cold, without a trace of heat: "It seems that I really have a problem, I think I probably know what is going on." Oss pointed to his head, "This is it, there must be a problem." ”
Kudran helped Oss put on his leather armor and put on a large Highland goat hair cloak, which he wrapped tightly: "Head? You say head? What's going on? Is it serious? Shall we go back to Karanos to find a doctor? ”
At this time, everyone looked at Oss, and waiting for his answer, Oss explained, "No, no, I don't think it's a bad thing. Since I woke up from the dream, I gradually noticed something special, and some of my bad states always disappeared quickly. For example, nervous, sleepy, tired, etc.; Also, every time I go to the fire casting house, I will be uncomfortable because of the sudden change of cold and heat, coupled with the heat wave in the big furnace of his house, it will make me feel dizzy, but every time at that time, I feel a cold stream of clear water appear in my head, let me recover; Now, the bite was still bleeding, and after only a while I was gone, but the wound was not healed; In the same way, I am almost frozen to death, but I don't feel cold, and I can still talk and laugh with you. All of this, perhaps because of my brain, which shields itself from feelings that are not good for me. ”
The dwarves' eyes widened and they looked at Oss in surprise, and Kudran said, "That's amazing, it's really useful!" Os, what kind of skill are you talking about brain? ”
Oss thought for a moment and gave them another way of saying, "It should be the soul, my soul can heal those negative states that are not good for me." But whether it is or not, we will have to study it again in the future, maybe one day I meet a mage who is proficient in soul magic, and it will be clear if I try it. ”
Obviously, Os's brothers still had doubts, but at this moment, everyone heard the sound of heavy footsteps, and turned their heads to see that it was Shi Dun'er who had returned.
Kudran walked up to Stone Pier, patted it on the head, and asked, "Stone, where is that damn beast?" ”
Stone Dun'er looked innocently at Kudran, then at Oss innocently, and shook his head. Oss was amused by the human expression on the stone pier, which was cute at times despite its size.
"Stupid stone pier, you can't even catch a kitten, your brother Oss is injured, and you haven't even avenged him!" Kudran appeared very dissatisfied.
"Alright, Kudran, don't blame Stone Pier. In the mountain forest, the snow leopard bent on escaping is not something that can be found on a huge stone pier. Don't say that it doesn't work hard, it's that the enemy is too cunning. Isn't it, Stone Pier? Oss spoke, winking at the stone pier.
Stone Pier happily arched Kudran away, and it walked up to Oss, stuck out its tongue and licked Oss's hand as if to greet Oss. And Kudlan, because Shi Dun'er blocked the road, he had no choice but to jump on Shi Dun'er's back, and slid down Shi Dun'er's neck.
"It's just that I have a question for you." Oss held the stone pier in his left hand and teased it as he asked his brothers.
Kudran said, "Ask, Os, what have you found?" ”
Oss asked, "Are your snow leopards solitary or in groups?" ”
"Those who live alone, except for the mother leopard with a baby snow leopard cub."
Oss nodded and continued to ask, "Is the snow leopard rich in food?" ”
"That's too much." Kudran replied, "Snow hares, squirrels, snow deer, goats." ”
Nuyne adds: "It also sometimes hunts wild boars and eats wolves. ”
Oss snapped his fingers and said confidently, "That's where I wondered, it has a lot of food, but why did it attack me?" Did it really take me as a prey? ”
"Isn't it?" Kudran asked, and the dwarves didn't understand.
"It attacked me, it was smart indeed, it knew I was the weakest, and it seized the moment when I was alone. But it's not smart, because I'm not alone, four dwarven warriors, and a stone pier, an adult brown bear. You can think that even if this snow leopard is extremely hungry, it should not attack a small group alone, and there is no chance of victory. Taking a step back, even if it could kill me in the first attack, it wouldn't be able to take my corpse with it, would it? ”
Oss's explanation suddenly enlightened everyone, but it also brought new questions: "So, Oss, what is it attacking you for?" ”
Oss shook his head with a wry smile, he said, "I don't know, but it definitely won't be because of hunger, it has too many better options than me." Perhaps, I may simply be its prey, and its goal is to complete the hunt. I looked at it once, and even if it failed, it looked very calm. ”
"Os, this is the first time I've seen a snow leopard like this. What should we do? I can't put you in danger! Kudran listened to Oss's explanation and became anxious.
"Kudran is right!" The Sandmar brothers chimed in, saying that they also didn't want to put Oss in danger.
"Haha." Oss laughed loudly: "It failed to attack and kill me when we were caught off guard, and now that we are on guard, will it succeed?" Don't worry, let's keep going, I'm looking forward to its next attack, and when the time comes, who's the prey of whom, that's all there is to say! ”
Oss's hearty laughter and confident language gave the dwarves confidence, and they quickly packed up and continued on their way. This time, the Kudran squad maintained a full formation, with Stone Pier leading the way, Kudran following close behind, Oss and Nuen walking side by side, Tallon Aix behind Oss and Gothrum at the rear. Everyone had weapons in their hands, and Oss took out his shield again and fastened it to his left arm.
In the dim and secluded forest, no one knows how many stories it hides. Hunting, counter-hunting, who is the real prey?
