Section 25: The Nest of the Thorn Bird (2)

On the thorn tree, he sang among the thorns that escaped from the side, and the sharp spikes pierced through his body. - Song of the Thorn Bird

The brutal jackal was indeed rough and thick-skinned, and William's heavy blow only cracked its bones slightly, and it was even stronger than a steel plate. The monster rolled on the snow and immediately rolled over and staggered to its feet, swung its head a few times to eliminate the vertigo from the heavy blow to the head, and stared at William with grinned teeth.

William glanced down at Elm, whose wound was bleeding, while staring at the brutal jackal in front of him, and said, "Millet Sha'er, go and call Yasuna to save people" Millet Sha'er replied with a "good mile" and then trotted back.

William's right hand was raised, and the autumn water shattered the dream in his hand, he snorted coldly and stepped forward, and the war knife turned into a dazzling horse and slashed across the snow, and was attacked by a monster that was caught off guard, and had to jump up reluctantly, but its hind legs had not left the ground, and the blade had arrived. The sharpness of Adamantite Gold rendered the Brutal Jackal's prideful natural defensive abilities nullified, and two thick and powerful thighs were cut directly from the hips.

The monster that had lost the support of its hind legs let out a terrible howl, and fell heavily into the snow and struggled weakly, its two front legs kept scratching at the snow and trying to get up, but the monster that lacked a pair of hind limbs could only drag its drooping belly and crawl awkwardly, leaving patches of scarlet in its wake.

William casually threw his war knife and nailed the brutal jackal's head to the snow, and then exhaled a long air flow like boiling steam, the flush on his face quickly disappeared, revealing a miserable white look, and after William took several heavy deep breaths in a row, his face became rosy.

At this time, William had time to check on Elm's injury, and he reached out and pinched the main blood vessel in Elm's left arm, and the blood loss from the wound, which had been gushing, slowed down. William looked at Elm, whose face had turned iron-black, and said, "Your wound has basically stopped bleeding, don't worry, someone will come to save you in a while, what do you think now?"

Elm shook his head and said, "I know the consequences of being bitten by that monster, and it would have been difficult for me to get home alive without the priest." "There is a special toxin on the claws and teeth of the brutal jackal, which can make people temporarily hyperactive, the blood flow is accelerated, and the pain is more acute, which can make the victim feel the pain of torture more clearly. Moreover, the Brutal Jackal has the same characteristics as the Dog Demon, and the stump that is bitten off and devoured by it cannot be restored with ordinary spells, unless [Miracle Magic] or [Wish] is used, of course, the Brutal Jackal does not have as many spell-like abilities as the Dog Demon.

Alm, who had lost too much blood, had begun to lose his support, and the temporary toxin of the brutal jackal was gradually wearing off, William pinched Elm's left arm with one hand, patted his face lightly, and kept calling: "Hey, wake up, don't fall asleep, open your eyes and look at me, say something, don't fall asleep, otherwise you really won't wake up again." Hey, wake up."

Elm struggled to hold his eyelids, and said intermittently: "I have a child, Miluna, she she, if I die, I will send her to her" At this time, Yasuna, who heard the news, had already rushed over with Mi Sha'er and Phinea.

William didn't have time to listen to Elm's words, he looked up and shouted: "Yasuna, hurry up and find a way to save people, he is dying of excessive blood loss"

Yasuna took a few steps to the front and checked it, and said, "It's a bit troublesome to be bitten by this uncommon monster, but it's still too late." She quickly cast a [false life] on Elm, and Elm's face immediately improved, "William made another cut along the wound, cutting off all the wounds caused by the monster before. ”

William glanced at Yasuna in surprise, and didn't ask more, he casually pulled out a dagger, and with a shake of his wrist, Elm's left arm was immediately missing a little bit, and Yasuna immediately slapped a [medical touch] on Elm. Among all the healing spells, [Medical Touch] is an alternative existence, and only it and a few spells that extend from it can truly match the words "self-sacrifice".

The function of [Medical Touch] is to transmit a portion of the life force to the recipient to heal the wounded, while the practitioner suffers damage equivalent to the transmission of life force. Therefore, Elm, who was cut with a knife, not only did not see the pain, but his face became better and better, while Yasuna, who performed the spell, trembled all over, and her face turned a little pale. However, with Yasuna's physique, this little damage was really nothing, and she blessed Elm with [Tenacity] (temporarily increasing her physique) and [healing serious injuries] before she stopped. ,

After several tosses, Elm was finally out of danger of dying, and he had fallen asleep peacefully. Seeing that Yasuna's face was not very good, William said softly: "Yasuna, are you okay? ”

Yasuna shook her head and said, "It'll be fine after a while, but I can't do anything about this person's lost arm." It's strange, how could a monster like a brutal jackal appear here for no reason?"

William smiled: "Forget it, we don't need to take care of these things, everyone should be careful in the future." Xiao Sha'er, you can't run around anymore."

Xiao Sha'er puffed out her red little face, waved her little fist and said, "I didn't run around, and Mi Sha'er is not afraid of them." Isn't it, cats and cats?"

William shook his head with a grin, picked up the sleeping Elm, and said, "I've been busy for most of the day, it's time to go back to eat." Also, don't forget to drag the big guy back" Yasuna and Phinea dragged the corpse of the brutal jackal, and the little girl followed and pointed from time to time, and the family returned to their new home with a smile and a smile.

In the evening, Elm awoke from his stupor, and found himself in a warm wooden house, covered in soft and comfortable animal skins, and the walls around the wooden house still smelled of pine because of the freshness of the material. He tried to sit up in a daze, but found that his left arm was missing a large chunk, and then remembered the death fight with the brutal jackal before he passed out.

Elm shook his left arm, which was not yet elbow, and found that the wound was no longer painful, and even some of the smaller wounds in other places scratched by the monster had healed, leaving only a few pink white marks. He struggled to get up from the bed and was just about to stand still, but he fell back on the bed with a dizziness, which happened to alarm Phineah, who was sitting on the side fiddling with the tomahawk.

Phinea jumped to her feet and said, "Ah, are you awake?" William, he's awake, wake up," and the silly girl screamed and startled Elm.

William and Yasuna walked briskly into the house, and the little girl also ran in to join in the fun. William stepped forward and asked, "How does it feel, what does it feel wrong?"

Elm shook his head and said, "I think it's very good, thank you for saving me." What kind of place is this?" Although he had some speculation in his mind, Elm thought it would be better to ask.

William smiled: "This is where we live, don't worry, just rest assured." By the way, I haven't thanked you for saving Mi Sha'er. William pointed to the little girl behind him, "She's my sister Misha'er." ”

Elm said a little awkwardly: "You saved my life, and I should be the one who should say thank you." And let you pay for a pastor for me. ”

William smiled and shook his head, he had a good impression of this middle-aged man who often appeared nearby: "Yasuna also knows a little bit about healing spells, and she helped you heal the wounds." ”

Elm was a little surprised and said, "Beautiful lady, I didn't expect you to be a noble mage, thank you very much for saving your life." Yasuna smiled and nodded slightly.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's already evening, and you can stay here for a while until you're recovering," said William. ”

Elm, however, looked anxious, and he struggled to get up, saying, "No, I'm going home." Mi Luna must be frightened, I'm going back. Unfortunately, he fell on the bed again.

William groaned for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, tell me the place, and I'll help you pick up your child." ”

Elm closed his eyes in pain and whispered, "Little Mi Luna is very afraid of people, she may not be willing to come with you." As he spoke, Elm held up a small string of beast teeth in his right hand, "Show this to her, and remember, don't scare Mi Luna." Then Elm told William where he lived.

The temperature dropped sharply in the evening, and William instructed, "Yasuna, take care of our home." Then he found a silver-white winter wolf fur half-wrapped in it, and walked out of the lumber yard quickly, and only he dared to walk at night in this dangerous wilderness.

The winter night came quickly, and when William arrived at Hills, it was almost completely dark, and several villagers were anxiously calling out at the gate of the village wall, and Elm had not returned all day to worry all the villagers.

William stepped forward and said, "I'm Mr. Elm's new friend who just met today, William who has just moved to the lumberyard. ”

Several villagers looked at William who suddenly appeared vigilantly, and one of them asked with an unkind face, "Where is Elm?"

William said, "Mr. Elm was bitten by a monster and is recuperating in my place of residence after losing too much blood. ”

The villagers looked at each other and said, "Then what are you doing here?"

William patiently explained, "Mr. Elm is not worried about Little Mi Luna, let me come and have a look." ”

One of the villagers gave the other a look, and the man ran back to the village quickly, and the previous one said, "Then come in with me," and then he turned around and led the way, while the others formed a faint encirclement around William, who was secretly amused in his heart, and followed the leader without care.
