The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 149 The Thorn Bird's Nest ([-])

On the thorn tree, he sang loudly among the thorns protruding sideways, and the longest and sharpest thorns pierced his body. — Song of the Thorn Bird
The brutal jackal really had rough skin and thick flesh. William's heavy blow only cracked its bones slightly, and it was almost stronger than a steel plate.The monster rolled over on the snow and immediately stood up staggeringly. It shook its head a few times to get rid of the dizziness after being hit hard on the head, and stared at William with a grin.

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, "Misha, go ask Yasuna to save her!" Misha replied "Okay!" Pidianer Pidianer trots back.

William raised his right hand, with Autumn Water Broken Dreams in his hand, he snorted coldly and stepped forward, his sword transformed into a dazzling horse and slashed across the snow, and was attacked by a monster that was caught off guard, so he had to try his best to jump up, but its Before the hind legs left the ground, the blade had arrived.The unique sharpness of fine gold makes the natural defense ability that the brutal jackal is proud of useless, and the two thick and powerful thighs are cut off from the hips.

The monster that lost the support of its hind legs let out a miserable howl, fell heavily into the snow layer and struggled helplessly. Its two front legs kept scratching the snow and tried to stand up, but it lacked a pair of The monster on its hind limbs could only crawl awkwardly with its drooping belly, leaving patches of scarlet as 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 like boiling steam. The flush on his face quickly disappeared, revealing a pale expression. After William took a few deep breaths in a row, Afterwards, his face turned rosy.

At this time, William just had time to check on Elm's injury. He stretched out his hand and pinched the main blood vessel in Elm's left arm, and the blood loss from the wound, which had been in a gushing state, 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 rescue you in a while, how do you feel now?"

Elm shook his head and said, "I know the consequences of being bitten by that monster. Without a priest, it would be very difficult for me to go home alive." There is a special toxin on the claws and teeth of the brutal jackal, which can make people Temporary mental excitement speeds up the blood flow and makes the pain more acute, which allows the victim to feel the pain of being tortured more clearly.Moreover, the cruel jackal has the same characteristic as the dog devil. The stumps bitten off and devoured by it cannot be recovered with ordinary spells, unless [miracle technique] or [wish technique] is used. Of course, there are not as many brutal jackals as there are barbarians. Spell-like abilities.

Elm, who had lost too much blood, was beginning to be unable to hold on, and the temporary toxin of the brutal jackal was gradually ineffective, William held Elm's left arm with one hand, patted his face, 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 be able to wake up again. Hey! Wake up!"

Elm struggled to hold his eyelids, and said intermittently: "I, I have a... child, Miluna, her... If I die, I will... send her to..." At this moment, when I heard the news The old Yasuna has rushed over with Misha and Finia.

Before Elm could finish speaking, William looked up and shouted, "Yasuna! Hurry up and find a way to save her, he's bleeding too much and he's going to die soon!"

Yasuna took a few steps closer to check, and said, "It's a little troublesome to be bitten by such an uncommon monster, but there is still time." She quickly cast a [false life] on Elm, and Elm Erm's complexion improved immediately, "William! Make another cut along the wound to remove all the wounds caused by the monster."

William glanced at Yasuna unexpectedly, without asking any further questions, he pulled out a dagger casually, and with a flick of his wrist, Elm's left arm immediately lost a small section, Yasuna immediately put a [medical touch] Pat on Elm.Among all the healing spells, [Healing Touch] is a different kind of existence, only it and a few spells based on it can truly be worthy of the words "sacrificing oneself for others".

The function of [Touch of Medicine] is to transmit a part of life force to the recipient to heal the wounded, while the caster has to suffer damage equivalent to the life force transmitted.Therefore, Elm, who was cut, not only did not feel pain, but his complexion became better, while Yasuna, who performed the operation, trembled all over, and her face turned pale.However, with Yasuna's physique, this little damage is really nothing. She blessed Elm with [Fortitude] (temporarily increasing her physique) and [Heal serious injuries] before giving up.

After several twists and turns, Elm was finally out of the danger of dying, and at this time he had fallen asleep peacefully.Seeing that Yasuna's complexion was not very good, William said softly, "Yasuna, are you okay? Sit down and rest first."

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

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

Misha'er puffed out her red face, waved her small fists and said, "I didn't run around! Besides, Misha'er is not afraid of them. Isn't she, cat and cat?"

William smiled and shook his head, picked up the drowsy Elm, and said, "I've been busy for a long time, let's go! It's time to go back to eat. Also, don't forget to drag that big guy back!" Yasuna Dragging the brutal jackal's corpse with Finia, and the little girl pointing at him from time to time, the family returned to the new house 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 exude a faint pine fragrance because of the fresh material.He tried to sit up in a daze, but found that his left arm had lost a big knot, and then he remembered the death fight with the brutal jackal before he passed out.

Elm shook his left arm that didn't reach the elbow, and found that the wound was no longer painful, and even some small wounds in other places that were scratched by the monster had healed, leaving only some pink and tender white marks.He struggled to get up from the bed and was about to stand still, but unexpectedly fell back on the bed with a burst of dizziness, just in time to startle Phinya who was sitting on the side playing with the tomahawk.

Phinya jumped up and said, "Ah! You're awake? William, he's awake! He's awake!" The silly girl's yelling made Elm jump.

William and Yasuna walked into the room quickly, and the little girl also jogged in to join in the fun.William stepped forward and asked, "How does it feel, is there something 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 heart, Elm felt that it would be better to ask.

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

Elm said a bit coyly: "Well...you saved my life. I should be the one who should say thank you. And you also asked you to pay for a pastor for me."

William shook his head with a smile. He had a good impression of this middle-aged man who often appeared nearby: "Yasuna also knows a little bit of healing spells, and she healed the wound for you."

Elm said in surprise: "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 in a coma?"

William said: "It's already evening, you can stay here for a while until your body recovers."

Elm showed an anxious look on his face. He struggled and tried to get up and said, "No, I want to go home. Xiaomi Luna must be terrified, I want to go back." Unfortunately, he fell on the bed again because of his powerlessness.

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

Elm closed her eyes in pain, and said in a low voice: "Xiaomi Luna is very afraid of strangers, she may not be willing to come with you." Then Elm raised a small bunch of animal teeth with his right hand, "Bring this to Look, remember, don't scare Xiaomi Luna." Then Elm told William where he lived.

The temperature dropped sharply in the evening, and William said: "Yasuna, take care of our home." Then he found a collar of silver-white winter wolf fur and half-wrapped it, and walked out of the woodcutter with a fork on his waist and a knife. He is the only one who dares to walk at night in this perilous wilderness.

The winter night came quickly, and when William arrived at Hills, it was almost completely dark. Several villagers were anxiously calling loudly at the gate of the village wall. Elm did not return all day to let all the villagers They are all worried.

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

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

William said: "Mr. Elm was bitten by a monster. He lost a lot of blood and is recuperating in the place where I live."

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

William patiently explained: "Mr. Elm is worried about Xiaomi Luna, let me come and have a look."

One of the villagers gave the other a wink, and that person ran back to the village quickly. The person in front said, "Then come with me!" After that, he turned and led the way, while the others formed a faint circle around William. , William secretly laughed in his heart, and followed the guide indifferently.
