Chapter 30: Grassland Nightmare 1
Early the next morning, Mark came back with Johnny on his back. Harris and Hess came together.
"The priests have made a decision that you are leaving the tribe today." Harris said to me, "Do you need me to send you a ride?"
"No." I led my horse. "See you if you have a chance."
After leaving the Karst tribe, the two-person team suddenly became four. What's worse is that there is a coma. Riding a comatose person on a horse is not as easy as I imagined, but luckily I can use natural forces. Two sturdy canes were born to fix Johnny on the horse's back and finally the horse could run.
In fact, the trouble caused by the unconscious Johnny didn't stop there. Using the force of nature to probe Johnny's situation, the result was not ideal. Johnny's soul was indeed in a sealed state. Although the seal of the soul slowed his heartbeat and made his blood flow very slowly, his blood was still flowing after all. Humans are not like the elves that do not need food to eat, but it is just a kind of fun. Even without the food elves, they can directly absorb the power of nature to maintain the vitality of the body. Humans are not good. Food is a must for humans.
Since Johnny was in a coma, it was obvious that he couldn't taste the steak by himself while he was in a coma. Even though the slow blood flow reduced his energy consumption a lot, he was still consuming it after all. I asked the High Priest Carmon. Although he did help Johnny on his escape journey, Johnny's coma really had nothing to do with him. But no matter who caused Johnny to fall into a coma, he obviously didn't care about Johnny's life, because if this goes on for three days, maybe two days Johnny will starve to death.
"Heis, come here," I yelled behind.
"Is there any way for a comatose person to eat?" I asked in a low voice when he saw Heis riding a horse.
"Why didn't you ask this?" Heath didn't want to answer immediately.
"Because if there is no way to get Johnny to eat, he will starve to death." I said helplessly.
Hearing me mentioned that Johnnyss glanced at Mark and showed a look of disgust. It was obvious that the little fox had not recovered from the terrible scandal of elopement.
It's a headache. Since leaving the Karst tribe, Heath has always been far away from Mark and Johnny. I have no good way to do this.
As a priest, Heis has some spells that can increase physical activity, but this spell that saves the wounded in the usual sense is fatal to Johnny now.
Fortunately, I also had the birth-promoting technique. First, a small section of extremely tough hollow rattan was born and gently pierced Johnny's clavicle into Johnny's body. Under the perspective of natural force, the rattan slowly grew until it penetrated the vein— —Yes, I just used cane to create a vein in Johnny's body.
The rest is simple. This time, it is to directly produce a coconut-like plant that can mature within a day, but the fruit is not coconut juice but nutrient solution. Johnny would rely on this to sustain his life when he was unconscious.
After dinner, Mark settled Johnny in a tent and came to me.
"Teacher" Mark looked at me and said, "My dad will keep going like this and won't he wake up?"
"No Mark" I touched Mark's head and looked at Mark's face carefully. I took care of Johnny these days so that Mark's eyes were bloodshot. The slightly plump round face was pointed and the outline of the cheekbones could be seen.
"We just don't know why your dad is in a coma. Believe me, your dad will always wake up but it's not yet time. What you should do now is take a good rest. To take care of your father, you must first take care of you. Myself."
Although we have speeded up and wanted to leave the grassland as soon as possible, an unexpected situation caught us off guard on the fourth day.
It was noon on the fourth day when we were about to take a break to eat something. A strong smell of blood drifted along with the breeze. After the horse riding along the smell of blood, a miserable sight appeared before us less than a mile.
Judging from the scattered tent fragments and carts full of goods, this is estimated to be a smuggling team from the Thrall Kingdom. Although the Thrall Kingdom and the Monta Empire have always had sporadic battles, there are still some merchants who will go to the orc tribe. After all, many of the products of the orcs are in demand in the Thrall Kingdom.
Several carts are arranged in disorder on the grassland. Dozens of human skeletons with blood are scattered around the carts. Mark saw this scene, his face pale and vomiting loudly, but Heis's performance was normal and there was no body. Discomfort.
Carefully examine the bloody scene. The scattered skeletons are covered with teeth marks left by biting.
Squatting next to a fairly complete skeleton, I asked: "If I remember correctly, the prairie wolf wolf should have half a month to end the parenting period and start foraging."
Heisi nodded: "That's how it is usually at least half a month before the magic wolf leaves his lair."
Hearing Heise's answer, I pointed to the piles of ashes that had become cold and continued: "From the scene, the attack should have occurred at midnight. In the original tent location, you can see the scattered armor. No one has time to dress well."
Speaking, I carefully checked the grass that was stepped on and continued: "From the broken grass, I can see that at least 70 magic wolves participated in the attack and the attack spread from four directions." Picking up a sword that fell on the ground, I looked at Heiss: "Although these weapons are not top-notch weapons, they are all fine products. It can be seen that these people's martial skills are at least not too bad, but these people have always been from the beginning to the end of the attack. There is no chance for anyone to escape."
"Yes, the prairie demon wolves' talent to hide their breath at night makes their attacks invincible. These humans have no chance at all. Moreover, judging from the absence of wolf corpses, these demon wolves can at least leisurely take away the corpses of their companions, showing that there is no major damage. "Heise added.
Throwing down the sword in my hand, I looked up at the blue sky. "Although the wolves started looking for food by accident at this time, we should speed up anyway." As I walked to Mark, Mark had nothing to squat. Ricking on the ground.
Pulling up Mark, I said in an unquestionable tone: "From now on, I will leave the grassland the fastest day and night without rest."
After finishing talking, I asked Mark and Heis to collect all the bows and arrows that could be used, not daring to stay in the direction of the Thrall Kingdom and quickly rush past.
In the next few days, we didn't dare to stay for a moment. We were tired and took turns to rest on horseback, while Heiss and I took turns using reconnaissance spells to keep an eye on the wind and grass within ten miles of the square with us as the center. At least the wolves. When we arrive, we can have time to correct the route to avoid encountering wolves.
The continuous running of the past few days and the consumption of spells have made each of us feel extremely tired. In the meantime, wolves have appeared within our detection range several times, but we are all relying on the excellent power and endurance of the Tacoma. Avoided the wolves. It will take about three days to calculate the distance to reach the defense range of Fort Chris.
But at this time, the continuous Mercedes-Benz also brought the Tak motor to its limit. Even with my natural force taking turns to supplement the horses, it finally reached the limit of the Tak motor.
After sensing that there were no wolves nearby, I had to stop the team for repairs. The force of nature through the connection between the roots of the grass is deployed from far to near. I only choose daytime to repair because the magic wolf will not hunt during the day except as a last resort. So with the vigilance technique as a warning, at least during the day, we can still take a little rest to let the horse slow down.
