Chapter 18: Counterattack and Rescue
"Bang dang!"
A loud and sharp bang came from the old horse's room, as if something like a porcelain bowl had fallen to the ground and shattered.
Wang Li turned his head in surprise, and just in time to see the old horse crashing out of his room, and the already dilapidated door panel fell to the ground with him.
Wang Li hurriedly rushed over to check ......
"Get me out of here!"
The old horse said hoarsely.
Then Wang Li noticed that a large amount of blood was gushing out of the hand he was holding his neck......
He's hurt!
But at this time......
"Hiss~hiss~"
A sharp voice came from inside the room, and Wang Li looked over in shock...... I saw that the flying sickle, which was supposed to be the old horse spirit servant, was revealing a dangerous aura, constantly letting out a low roar and approaching the two little by little.
There were some blue-black markings on its body that were spreading, but it looked very confused...... Or rather, pain.
Wang Li could feel that it was trying to suppress some impulse, but it was a little difficult to restrain itself.
"It'...... What's wrong with it? ”
He asked, a little nervously.
His mind was quickly rummaging through the information about the spirit servant......
Eventually, he quickly hesitated between the two options of 'Confused' and 'Eater', and then came to 'Eater'.
"Boom!"
The scythe's will seemed to be weaker, and it flicked its scythe again, shooting at Wang Li's side......
But it's slow.
Even in Wang Li's eyes, it was even slower than the last time the old horse called it out for demonstration!
Its scythe is full of hesitation, but also of self-resistance and self-denial.
But it is undeniable that this knife is dangerous for both people at the scene.
Wang Li's expression suddenly became focused, and a six-pointed star array appeared in front of him in an instant...... Array of Spirits!
"Ding!!"
After the crisp sound, the flying scythe almost broke through the Spirit Imperial Array, and it was inevitably shocked back two steps.
And at this moment, Wang Li called out calmly: "Firefly! ”
Almost at the same time as his voice sounded, a jet of water erupted from Hotaru's small mouth.
The jet of water erupted as soon as it left her mouth, becoming almost fist-thick, and slammed into the scythe's body, sending it backwards for some distance.
After undergoing additional evolution during the growth period, Hotaru's water column has become much more powerful.
But that's not enough.
Wang Li immediately pinched his six-pointed star evidence, and after a slight glint in his eyes, he threw the button at Hotaru......
The button was embedded in Hotaru's forehead, and a six-pointed star array was formed in an instant...... Spirit Strike Array!
The jet of water that Hotaru spat out instantly increased in power, and like a high-pressure water gun, it pushed the flying sickle back into the room at once.
"Bang!"
It was pressed against the wall at the other end of the room, and then hung its four scythes limply.
It was actually very weak, and it collapsed with the blow of Hotaru.
After Wang Li glanced at it and confirmed that it was safe, he let Hotaru continue to look at the other party despite the enhancement of the Spirit Strike Array, and he himself looked at Lao Ma......
The old horse's face was already pale.
He clutched his neck and coughed up blood.
It feels like I'm going to heaven at any moment......
Wang Li felt bad at that time, and hurriedly pulled his hand away to start the operation.
And Lao Ma tried to open his mouth, as if he wanted to explain his last words......
"Don't move, be quiet!"
As a result, Wang Li slapped his head and pushed his head, and then the wound on his neck was pulled again, and he was so painful that the whole person twitched.
Wang Li is now concentrating on treating his wounds, where can he still care if he hurts or not.
The 'Spiritual Light Exploration Array' was activated in an instant, and a layer of clear light appeared in his palm, and then the condition of the wound on the old horse's neck was quickly fed back to Wang Li's brain.
"The major artery has been broken, and the bleeding must be stopped first......"
He muttered in his mouth, and reached out and pressed down the upper and lower parts of the old horse's neck......
This made the old horse, who was in the midst of a massive blood loss, begin to roll his eyes, and he felt like he was going to be strangled to death.
At least the bleeding stopped, didn't it?
Wang is a little wild from this routine, and he is not a medical professional, so it is very good to be able to do this.
Fortunately, it didn't hurt the trachea, and at this time, just seal the opening on the artery again.
That's where the 'healing aura' comes into play.
The spiritual power binds the two blood vessels together, and then stimulates the self-regeneration ability of the blood vessel cells, so that the blood vessels quickly repair themselves.
At this time, Wang Li had already let go of the hand that was pinching the blood vessels at both ends, after all, with the spiritual energy bonding, there would be no problem for the time being.
The old horse finally relieved himself, and looked at Wang Li's gaze with some horror......
Almost, he was almost strangled to death before he died of blood loss!
Fortunately, it has eased up now.
Although a lot of blood was shed, at least he was rescued.
"Ah Li...... Have you learned the 'healing aura'? His expression became complicated.
On the one hand, he was glad that Wang Li's talent was too good, if it weren't for that, he would already be a corpse.
On the other hand, he has some low self-esteem......
He was very worried that such a genius and geek would not be delayed by him, right?
And Wang Li looked at Lao Ma very nervously and asked, "Teacher...... Flying sickle, it can't be a backlash, right? ”
The old horse's expression was complicated.
He looked weak now, his pupils were constantly trembling, and his focus was problematic.
"Where's the scythe? How is it now? He asked.
Wang Li said: "For the time being, there is no way to move. ”
The old horse breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed, and then he passed out in a daze.
Wang Li shook the old horse's body strangely, saw that he was still sweating, and touched his forehead again...... It's hot!
The old horse had a high fever.
I'm afraid this is not caused by excessive blood loss, but a cold from the rain in front!
Wang Li instantly recalled a passage in "Take Care of Your Spirit Servant": When the spirit servant is in a state of long-term hunger, he will get out of the control of the contract and then rebel because the state of the master is weakened.
Therefore, the situation of the old horse is that his body is extremely weak because of his erosive life and the heavy rain...... This triggered the backlash of the scythe.
And judging from the way the scythe acts, it has actually been restraining its instincts all along.
Wang Li sighed, and with great difficulty got the old horse back to his bed, and covered him with a quilt.
Only then did he turn his head to face the flying sickle who collapsed on the ground and sighed: "Actually, you are also a good boy...... Just too hungry. ”
He searched for Lao Ma's spirit ring, and found that the spirit ring had been completely shattered.
Wang Li didn't dare to let the flying sickle stay outside like this, what if it regained some strength and chopped the old horse again?
He searched in the old horse's room and finally got an empty wine bottle......
He aimed the mouth of the empty bottle at the scythe, and then cast the 'Spirit Seal Array'.
This 'Spirit Sealing Array' is the foundation of the Demon Hunter's Sealing Technique, and it is not very powerful.
The target that can be faced, the flying sickle, is already extremely weak, and naturally it will not resist this sealing power.
The scythe turned into a gray mist and was sucked into the bottle.
Wang Li corked the bottle, then took it with him and walked outside.
He's going to have to be busy.
I first went to the 24-hour pharmacy to buy some antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs and other medicines, and hurriedly returned to Lao Ma to let him take the medicine.
Then I went to the bank and cashed the check I got yesterday.
20,000 dragon coins into the account.
He didn't rush back to Lao Ma's side, but went to the Demon Hunting Council branch first.
He hurried to the bookstore with the large sum of cash, looking for a solution to Lao Ma's current troubles.
This search was a morning, and after spending 16,500 dragon coins in one go, he returned to Lao Ma's side with mixed feelings.
"Are you awake?"
He saw that the old horse was struggling to find a drink, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.
It seems that the old horse has sweated a lot better, after all, he is a demon hunter who has undergone strict training in the early years, and his health is good.
He shuddered and opened a bottle of wine and took a sip before asking, "Where's the scythe?" ”
Wang Li took out the wine bottle he hung on his waist and said, "I sealed it here...... Teacher, what are you going to do? ”
He didn't bring up the topic of backlash, after all, it was estimated that Lao Ma would not be happy about this.
The old horse was in a trance for a moment and said, "You have even used the sealing technique well." ”
Wang Li: "......"
He didn't answer.
The old horse said, "Actually, it's me who doesn't take off the sickle...... To tell you the truth, Ah Li, I accepted you as an apprentice that day, not because I thought that someone would one day be able to collect my body. ”
"But it's okay for now, it's just that you don't want to take off the scythe......"
This tone is like he wants to put his own spiritual servant to death......
After all, many retired witchers will choose to execute their own spirit servants, and say goodbye to the profession of witchers with old wounds and scarred hearts.
Wang Li hurriedly said, "Teacher, there is still a way to keep the flying sickle." ”
As he spoke, he opened the book he had just bought, turned it to the first page, and saw that there was a six-pointed star array recorded on it: the contract transfer array!
The entire book is an analysis and annotation of this 'Contract Transfer Array', costing Wang Li 7,500 dragon coins.
Seeing this, Lao Ma was greatly shocked, and he said, "You are going to transfer the contract with me?" ”
Wang Li nodded and said, "Only in this way can we keep the flying sickle...... And the relationship between the teacher, the spirit servant and the master, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? ”
Lao Ma hesitated, but still refused: "No, this will be too much of a burden for you...... You're a promising child, and I can't hurt you. ”
Wang Li was a little embarrassed, he said: "It's okay, I don't think it's a big problem to have one more flying sickle." ”
Old Ma: "......"
He was silent, to defend himself to the last of his face.
And Wang Li took out the other things needed for the contract transfer ceremony in turn...... This was not a simple ceremony, and many ritual utensils were used.
These materials cost him another 9,000 dragon coins.
That is, now, there is only 3,500 dragon coins left in that check.
When you are a witcher, you really have to spend money quickly.
