Chapter 78: Pitfall
Chapter 78: Pitfall
Of course, Chita was carried back by the Canyon Swift Crab.
Because his injury was a bit serious, Rhodes deliberately asked the river crab to slow down a bit to avoid bumps.
At this time, Chita’s wounds had been simply treated with the hemostatics and bandages that Rhodes brought, and a cleaned wolf skin was covered around his waist.
Rhodes and Naz did not bring extra clothes when they went up the mountain, so they could only cover it up like this.
The disadvantage is that the weather is really a bit hot now, but fortunately the journey is not far.
As soon as the few people entered the village, he was surrounded by people.
Chita was the best hunter in the village. Everyone thought he had died, but who would have thought that he was actually rescued!
Rhodes saw a familiar face in the crowd and said hurriedly:
”Mr. Mastiff, is there a doctor in the village? Please take us there. He is seriously injured.”
Yes, and we beat him.
“Ah, yes!” Mastiff immediately found someone to guard the door for him, “Please go this way!”
Someone else will go to notify the village chief.
…
The doctor carefully treated Chita’s injuries and asked the village chief to find someone to carefully carry him back home.
The doctor will go there on time to help change the dressings in the next few days.
As one of the most respected people in the village, the old doctor said that he had never seen such a mess of injuries in his decades of medical practice.
What kind of injuries were caused by wild beast bites, sharp weapon cutting and puncture wounds, blunt weapon blows, burns caused by flames…
And each of them was so serious.
The most puzzling thing is that he actually survived.
The doctor wanted to ask him whether he went up the mountain to hunt or to help others test weapons.
Rod and Naz, who were at the scene at the time, looked up at the ceiling. It was not that we hit him hard, but that he could not wake up without hitting him hard.
The reason why this elder brother survived is mainly due to the strong physical fitness and ability to withstand blows of the receiving beast king.
On the other hand, if he didn’t have such a strong body, he couldn’t bear such a heavy blow…
It was a dead end, and he could only blame his bad luck.
When Chita woke up, it was almost evening.
Natsu and Rod were studying combat skills (fighting) in the yard of the village chief’s house.
Rod wanted to talk more and do less, but Natsu was really not good at language teaching.
So after agreeing not to use magic, the two fought in the yard.
Harpy and Worm sat at the door eating snacks and watching the fun.
”The snacks are so delicious.”
”Hulu~~”
”But we want to eat fish.”
”Huh?”
”Love, fish is the most delicious.”
The two cute creatures talked back and forth, and it was difficult for others to understand how they communicated.
At a certain moment, Rhode and Natsu stopped at the same time because they heard the sound in the house.
”Dad!” Claudia shouted in surprise.
”Dear, you finally woke up!” Snow’s voice was filled with tears.
Bang! Panther poked the floor with his cane, and then squeezed out a “hum” from his nostrils.
He is also an old tsundere.
The family who almost experienced life and death reunited, such an atmosphere made people reluctant to disturb.
Several people waited at the door for a long time until Panther asked: “Do you remember what happened?” Rhode and Natsu knocked on the door, and walked in after getting a response.
”Master wizard, thank you, thank you…”
These words have been heard many times in the doctor’s house. Rhode hurriedly helped the village chief to sit down and asked him not to be polite.
Natsu rubbed Claudia’s head and asked her to go to her father.
Rhodes found that Naz seemed to be very good at coaxing children.
”Actually, we want to know Mr. Chita’s experience. This matter is related to the wild beast riot that the village encountered this time, so we are sorry to disturb you at this time.”
Rhodes’ attitude was still polite.
”Please don’t say that. If it weren’t for you, my stupid son might not come back.”
The village chief was even more polite, but he immediately changed his attitude when facing his son, “Why don’t you tell me!”
”Yes.” Having just experienced such an incident, Chita didn’t contradict his father again, and talked about his experience in detail. ”That day, I had a quarrel with my father. In a rage, I took my weapons and went up the mountain alone and found the beast king.
I didn’t dare to act rashly. I waited until it fell asleep before shooting it with a bow and arrow. The arrow hit its back. If it was an ordinary beast, it would have died soon after being hit by this arrow, but the beast king…
His skin was very hard, and only the arrowhead pierced it. Not only did it not kill it, but it angered it. It immediately rushed towards me…
It broke my bow as soon as it came up. I pulled out my hunting knife to fight it, but the knife was also knocked away by it.
Then it threw me down and tried to bite off my throat…”
Speaking of this, Qita was still a little scared.
Pansel didn’t show it on his face, but his hand tightly grasped the head of the crutch.
Snow and Clauti seemed to see that scene and hugged each other in fear.
”Then I didn’t know anything. I felt like I had a dream.
I dreamed that I became the beast king. When I was thirsty, I went to the mountain stream to drink water, and when I was hungry, I went to hunt wild animals.
At that time, I seemed to be unable to think. There was a voice telling me to fight, kill, kill, destroy, destroy.
I didn’t know what to fight or destroy, and I would get a headache if I thought about it.
But the voice kept making noises, and I kept thinking and getting a headache. I don’t know how many times it hurt, and suddenly I thought of protecting the village and killing the beast king.
At that time, I didn’t know what the village was and what the beast king was, so I kept looking for the beast king in the mountains.
In order to kill the beast king, I killed any lone beasts I saw, and killed the strongest one among wolves I saw…”
Naz, Happy, and Snow and her daughter were all a little moved.
But the village chief and Rod looked at Chita differently.
This man still remembered to protect the village and kill the beast king even when he lost his mind, which proved that he had a good heart.
It’s just that his behavior was a bit tricky.
It turns out that in the past few days, those beasts that ran down the mountain, broke into the farmland, and attacked the village were all driven down by this guy! No wonder Rod found out when he sent the river crabs to patrol. It turns out that many wild animals just passed by the village and went directly to find a new habitat.
It turned out that they simply couldn’t survive on that mountain, and whether they came to the village or not depended entirely on whether they took the main road or the small road after going down the mountain.
In other words, the wild animal attacks before he went up the mountain were because some wild animals were squeezed out of their living space by the beast king, so they occasionally came down the mountain to try their luck.
After he went up the mountain, it became the beast king who went on a killing spree, and the beasts that were targeted had to go down the mountain to escape.
And because of his efforts, the number of wild animals that escaped was terrifying.
”Dad is so awesome! “Clauti thought it was amazing that her father had hunted so many beasts by himself.
“Hahaha…” Chita was so proud of herself in the admiring eyes of her daughter.
Pansel felt that his hands were a little itchy, and he wanted to hit something with the cane in his hand.
No, no, the benefactors are all here, and I can’t be rude. Besides, the child’s injury is not healed yet, I have to wait until he recovers.
