Chapter 25 The thorn bird emerges from the nest (2)

On the thorn tree, he sang loudly among the thorns that grew sideways, and the long and sharp thorns penetrated his body. - The Song of the Thorn Bird

As expected, the brutal jackal had rough skin and thick flesh. William's heavy blow only slightly cracked its bones, making it even stronger than a steel plate. The monster rolled on the snow, then immediately turned over and stood up, shaking.

A few blows to the head eliminated the dizziness caused by the heavy blow to the head, and he stared at William with his teeth bared, ready to pounce.

William lowered his head and glanced at Elm, whose wound was bleeding profusely, while staring at the brutal jackal in front of him, and said: "Little Mishael, go call Asuna to save people!" Little Mishael responded with a "Okay."

Back and forth, trot back.

William raised his right hand, holding Autumn Water Broken Dreams in his hand. He snorted coldly and stepped forward. The sword turned into a dazzling sword and streaked across the snow. The monster was caught off guard and had to jump up with all his strength, but its

Before the hind legs left the ground, the blade was already there. The unique sharpness of fine gold made the cruel jackal's proud natural defense ability useless, and the two thick and powerful thighs were cut off directly from the hips.

The monster that lost the support of its hind legs let out a shrill howl, fell heavily into the snow and struggled feebly. Its two front legs kept scratching the snow and tried to stand up, but it was missing a pair.

The monster with its hind legs could only crawl awkwardly dragging its hanging belly, leaving patches of scarlet wherever it passed.

William casually threw the sword and nailed the brutal jackal's head to the snow, and then exhaled a long stream of air that was like boiling steam. The flush on his face quickly disappeared, revealing a pale look. After William took several deep breaths in succession,

Finally, his face turned rosy.

At this time, William had time to check Elm's injuries. He reached out and pinched the main blood vessels in Elm's left arm. The blood loss from the wound, which had been gushing, slowed down. William's face turned iron-black as he looked at it.

Elm said: "Your wound has basically stopped bleeding. Don't worry. Someone will come to save you soon. How do you feel now?"

Elm shook his head and said: "I know the consequences of being bitten by that monster. Without the priest, it would be difficult for me to go home alive." The cruel jackal's claws and teeth are stained with a special toxin that can make people

Temporarily excited, the blood flow accelerates and the pain becomes more acute, which allows the victim to feel the pain of being tortured more clearly. Moreover, the brutal jackal has the same characteristics as the dog demon. The stumps that are bitten off and devoured by it cannot be used normally.

Spells can be restored unless you use "Miracle" or "Wish". Of course, the Brutal Jackal does not have as many spell-like abilities as the Dog Demon.

Elm, who had lost too much blood, was beginning to lose his support, and the cruel jackal's temporary toxin was gradually losing its effectiveness. William pinched Elm's left arm with one hand, patted his face, and kept calling: "Hey!

Wake up, don’t fall asleep! Open your eyes, look at me, say something, don’t fall asleep, otherwise you will really never wake up again. Hey! Wake up!”

Elm struggled to hold his eyelids open and said intermittently: "I...I have a...child, Mi...Luna...she...she...if I die, just...let her...

...Send it to...Send it to..." At this time, Yasuna, who heard the news, had already rushed over with little Mishal and Finia.

William didn't have time to hear Elm finish what he said, he raised his head and shouted: "Assuna! Find a way to save him quickly, he has lost too much blood and will die soon!"

Yasuna took a few steps and came closer to check, and said: "It's a bit troublesome to be bitten by such an unusual monster, but it's not too late." She quickly cast a "fake life" on Elm, and Aim

Elm's expression immediately improved, "William! Make another cut along the wound to remove all the previous wounds caused by the monster."

William glanced at Asuna unexpectedly, and without asking any questions, he casually pulled out a dagger, and with a flick of his wrist, Elm's left arm immediately lost a small section, and Asuna immediately applied a "Medical Touch"

Shoot on Elm. Among all the healing spells, "Medical Touch" is an alternative existence. Only it and several spells based on it can truly be worthy of the "sacrifice of self for others".

Four words.

The function of "Medical Touch" is to transmit part of the life force to the recipient to heal the injury, while the caster has to bear the damage equivalent to the transmitted life force. Therefore, Elm, who was cut by a knife, not only did not feel pain, but his face turned pale.

It got better and better, but Asuna who performed the spell trembled all over and turned a little pale. However, with Asuna's physical constitution, this small damage was nothing, so she blessed Elm with the "Tenacity Art" (

Temporarily increase physical fitness) and "treat serious injuries" before giving up.

After several twists and turns, Elm was finally out of danger and fell asleep peacefully. Seeing that Asuna's face was not very good, William said warmly: "Asuna, are you okay? Sit down and take a rest.

.”

Yasuna shook her head and said, "You'll be fine after you rest for a while, but I can't really do anything about this man's missing arm. It's strange, how could a monster like a cruel jackal appear here for no reason?"

William smiled and said: "Forget it! We don't need to take care of these things. Just be careful in the future. Xiao Mishaer, you can't run around anymore now!"

Little Mishal puffed out her rosy little face, waved her little fist and said, "I'm not running around! Besides, Little Mishal isn't afraid of them either. Are you, a cat-cat bug?"

William shook his head with a smile, picked up the sleeping Elm, and said: "I have been busy for a long time, let's go! It's time to go back to eat. And don't forget to drag that big guy back!" Yasuna

With Finia dragging the corpse of the cruel jackal, and the little girl following beside him and pointing from time to time, the family returned to their new home talking and laughing.

In the evening, Elm woke up from his drowsiness and found himself in a warm wooden house, covered with soft and comfortable animal skins. The walls around the wooden house still exuded a faint fragrance of pine because of the fresh material.

He tried to sit up in a daze, but found that a large section of his left arm was missing. Only then did he remember the deadly fight with the brutal jackal before he fell into coma.

Elm shook his left arm, which was less than the elbow, and found that the wound no longer hurt. Even some small wounds in other places scratched by the monster had healed, leaving only some pink white marks. He struggled

He got up from the bed and was about to stand still, but unexpectedly he felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed, just in time to disturb Finia who was sitting aside playing with her battle ax.

Finia jumped up and said: "Ah! You're awake? William, he's awake! He's awake!" This silly girl yelled and screamed, which startled Elm.

William and Yasuna walked into the house quickly, and the little girl also ran in to join in the fun. William stepped forward and asked: "How do you feel? Is there anything that feels wrong?"

Elm shook his head and said: "I feel very good. Thank you for saving me. Where is this place?" Although he had some guesses in his mind, Elm thought it would be better to ask.

William smiled and said: "This is where we live, don't worry, just rest in peace and recover. By the way, I haven't thanked you for saving little Misha." William pointed to the little girl behind him, "She is my sister, little Misha.

Son."

Elm said a little coyly: "Well... you saved my life. I should be the one to say thank you. And I also asked you to spend money to hire a priest 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 about some healing spells. She helped you heal the wound."

Elm was a little surprised and said: "Beautiful lady, I didn't expect you to be a noble mage. Thank you very much for your help." Asuna smiled and nodded slightly.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

William said: "It is already evening now. You can stay here for a while until your body recovers."

Elm looked anxious. He struggled and tried to get up and said, "No, I want to go home. Little Miluna must be scared, I want to go back." Unfortunately, he was unable to do what he wanted and fell on the bed again.

William pondered for a moment and said: "If you don't mind, tell me the location and I will help you pick up your child."

Elm closed his eyes in pain and whispered: "Little Miluna is very afraid of strangers, she may not be willing to come with you." As he spoke, Elm raised a small bunch of animal teeth in his right hand, "Bring this to me.

Look, remember, don't scare little Miluna." Then Elm told William where he lived.

The temperature dropped sharply in the evening, so William said: "Assuna, take care of our home." Then he found a silver-white winter wolf fur and half-wrapped it, with his waist akimbo and the Dream-Smashing Knife hurriedly walked out of the woods.

Only he dares to walk at night in this dangerous wilderness.

The winter night came quickly. When William arrived at Hills, it was almost completely dark. Several villagers were anxiously calling loudly at the gate of the village wall. Elm had not surrendered to all the villagers all day.

They were all worried.

William walked up and said: "I am Mr. Elm's new friend who just met today, William who just moved to the lumber camp."

Several villagers looked at William who suddenly appeared warily, and one of them asked with an unkind expression: "Where is Elm? Where is he?"

William said: "Mr. Elm was bitten by a monster and lost too much blood. He is recuperating where I live."

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

William explained patiently: "Mr. Elm is worried about Xiaomi Luna, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

One of the villagers glanced at the other, and the man ran back to the village quickly. The first man said, "Then come with me!" After that, he turned around and led the way, while the others formed a faint encirclement around William.
