Alexander's Memoirs - The Trailblazers Chapter 13 Beast Blood Surges?
The arms of these monsters are wrapped in pale bone shells, and the upper part of the head is covered by a layer of red goo. The eyes are completely sunken in the eye sockets, and there are no lips to directly see the mouth. The teeth seem to be sharper than normal humans.
Not only that, this thing doesn't even have ears. It must be an unclean creature.
"Ouch!" Susie seemed a little uncomfortable with it. It should be said that even the wolf, as a wild animal, was made a little uncomfortable by this evil life.
Not only the female wolf's hair stood on end. Freya almost vomited when she saw the blasphemous gesture of the disgusting monster in front of her. Although she barely held back, her face was very pale.
Alexander had long been mentally prepared to encounter disgusting things. At this moment, his instinct to draw a bow and arrow quickly covered up his nausea, and he seemed completely unmoved.
The arrow penetrated the monster's abdomen. For humans, the injury was already serious, but even so, the thing continued to move.
Such a heinous product made Noli shudder. Although her stomach was still twitching instinctively, she still tightened her grip on the weapon without any signs of relaxing.
Seeing that the bow and arrow succeeded, she quickly stepped forward and raised the sword in her hand, slashing out a silver arc and falling towards the monster.
The slash caused the flesh and blood of half of the monster's chest to be lifted open, and the bones and debris leaked out, but the force was not enough to cut it off.
Freya swallowed her nausea and forced herself to throw a throwing knife at the monster's leg. Then she drew out the dagger named Virgo and took a defensive posture.
Seeing that the flying knife was halfway into the thigh of the humanoid monster, the thing still did not lose its ability to move. "Is this monster so vitality?" After saying this, Freya retched.
Perhaps unwilling to touch the monster with her sharp teeth and claws, Susie roared and shook suddenly. A ball of flashing lightning spit out from the mouth of the she-wolf and rushed towards the monster that had been attacked continuously by the adventurers before.
Unfortunately, this supernatural lightning missed the mark.
The other two monsters each ran for three meters and then charged up and jumped. One even jumped into the middle of the adventurers.
The three people except Susie were each chosen as targets by a monster, which felt like they were intelligent.
The other two people didn't hear what Noli was chanting in a low voice, and only saw from the corner of their eyes a strong cyclone appearing around her as she danced the sword. The sword spun around and threw it at the monster that looked like it had been severely injured.
If you listen carefully, the extremely fast dance makes the sword's blood groove seem to emit a low wolf roar.
As the cyclone dissipated, the upper body of the seriously injured monster was cut off by the sword, and its arm scratched a few times and stopped moving. Noli immediately crossed the sword to block another monster that jumped nearby.
Alexander was scratched on the shoulder by the claw of the monster that jumped into the middle of the team. The wound was so long that she broke into a cold sweat.
But Alexander's tenacious will made her grit her teeth without making a sound, take two steps back, catch the second arrow and shoot at the monster.
Although she was seriously injured, the accuracy of the arrow she shot was not reduced at all. One arrow shot through the eye socket of the monster that injured her, which looked very scary.
Freya calmly waved the Virgo, deftly leaving several wounds on the enemies hit by Alexander. Susie also pursued the victory, suddenly pounced on the monster, and slapped the wound on the monster's abdomen with one claw, causing it to stagger two steps.
.
The monster, who was not only afraid of anything, bypassed Freya, chased after him and bit Alexander on the shoulder.
Of course, if Alexander hadn't shot an arrow but had paid attention to dodge, she wouldn't have been bitten. However, she chose a radical strategy, probably because she thought it would change later.
Another monster tried to get around Noli but failed repeatedly and was blocked by her.
The battle took a total of thirty seconds. In the end, the second monster's head was cut off in half, and the half of its head with arrows stuck in its eye sockets rolled into the grass.
Then on the last one, Susie switched from defense to attack, pounced on the intact last one, and returned to the defensive posture after one blow.
Although his energy was exhausted, Alexander continued to shoot deadly arrows with anger, causing the monster to withstand the impact of having to adjust its body shape.
Freya and Nori's slashes harvested the life of the last monster...but is this thing really still alive?
The three ugly and abnormal monsters had all fallen. Alexander endured the pain and retrieved the arrows that could be recovered from the monsters: "Oh, it hurts so much."
Although these monsters are humanoid, they do not wear clothes or carry items.
"These things don't look very human." Alexander said: "Otherwise, these teeth couldn't have been human before, right?"
"Ouch~" Susie was obviously not a scavenger, and the posture of these unclean creatures after they stopped moving made her even more uncomfortable. She rubbed her claws on the ground with a little disgust.
Freya endured the nausea that still existed and recovered the adamantine flying knife she threw, her heart still fluctuating violently. After she calmed down a little, she said: "Is it a monkey or an orangutan? Or something else?" Alexander and Nuo
Li didn't notice her wavering.
"Have these things been skinned... But looking at myself, it's possible..." Noli wiped the blood on the grass blades nearby and checked the status of other people's wounds: "I would rather believe that these are dead
s things."
Alexander accepted Noli's inspection of his wounds so as not to be like last time.
After Susie briefly cleaned her paws, she moved closer to her master. She stared at Alexander's wounds and looked at her paws with worry in her green eyes.
"Wait... what are monkeys and orangutans? I only remember these two terms, but I can't remember what they look like." Freya spent a lot of effort to rub the adamantine flying knife on the leaves on one side.
After cleaning, he retracted the sheath of the throwing knife, and then looked at the scratches he had received during the battle.
Several people examined the wound in great detail, while Susie stood guard.
"It doesn't look like it contains poison or parasites." Alexander breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go back first."
"Indeed, it's too messy here." Noli agreed, and then the group returned to the camp.
"Speaking of which, Noli, what was the situation with the wind around you before? I've never seen you use this trick before." Alexander couldn't help but ask out of curiosity on the way back to the big house.
"Thunder also spewed out of Susie's mouth. What on earth is going on?" Freya also asked.
"I dreamed about something from the past last night... That move is called Gale Strike, and it seems to be a ranger's spell. As for Susie, I don't know." Noli shook her head.
As for Susie who was a little ahead, she also looked back when she heard the owner mention her name.
"This is a good thing. Only by becoming stronger can we survive in this dangerous rainforest." However, I don't know if Alexander Johnson's past contains important memories.
Freya also agreed with this very much, but she also had her own concerns. She walked at the back with her head lowered and didn't know what she was thinking.
After returning to the camp, Alexander asked the technician for some gauze for the wounded, and also asked what happened today.
The good news today is that there is now an alternative to the bandages in the camp, which is a special tourniquet made of grass blades and straw ropes.
In addition to its effective hemostatic function, the newly made tourniquet can also prevent infection, which is the biggest gain for the technicians these days. After Alexander and Freya cleaned and bandaged the wounds, dinner had already started for a while.
The second pot of broth has just come out.
Although she didn't really need to eat, after helping her friends to bandage up, Noli still came to the campfire, filled some food and poured most of it to Susie, feeling the familiar feeling of sitting by the fire that came and went in her memory.
Beside in a daze.
After Susie finished eating, she rubbed her master gently, and there was still a piece of meat left in the bowl.
"Oh, good girl, it's okay." Noli lowered her head and touched the she-wolf's head. At the same time, she stood up and moved her body. The memory of today's battle came to mind again. Spells are really a wonderful power.
After taking a few mouthfuls of soup and swallowing a piece of meat, Freya went back to the carriage to rest, looking very listless.
The smell of food and the sound of Freya's footsteps woke up Sherlock. Looking at the setting sun by the car window, he stretched and said, "Ah, it's another day's rest. It's so comfortable." After that, he stood up and walked out of the carriage.
While eating, I asked my teammates if their day went well.
Alexander took out the crystal core as a deposit by the campfire and said to his companions: "I think this deposit should be given to Susie? She has been taking the lead these days, and I feel that she needs to be rewarded.
I have always been concerned about the color of Susie’s fur, and the impressions of wolves in my recovered memories are all black or gray.”
"Let her come?" Noli was a little surprised by Alexander's actions.
"Otherwise?" Alexander tilted his head and looked at his two teammates.
After Sherlock asked about the whole situation, he said, "It's okay, I don't need it." He smiled and seemed to be very confident in his own strength.
"Of course it's okay, as long as you think it's appropriate." Noli rubbed Susie's head. "What should I say? Girl?"
"Ouch?" Susie tilted her head and stared at this crystal. Perhaps she was reacting to a faint smell on the crystal core, and Susie's saliva began to secrete involuntarily. The she-wolf just wanted a mouthful at this time.
Swallow this crystal core.
"That's it." Alexander said and handed the blue crystal core to Noli.
"Thank you." Noli took the crystal and put it aside, subconsciously preparing to go outside to get water.
"Ouch!" Saliva was secreting, but although Susie wanted to swallow the crystal core directly, the master's constant teachings made her restrain herself from further actions. Soon, Noli brought a bowl of water and squatted
In front of Susie.
"How do you eat this stuff..." The female wolf sniffed the crystal core and looked at Noli longingly. After thinking about it again and again, Noli finally gently used it on the wolf's front paws.
I made a cut with the dagger to draw out a little blood. Finally, I carefully threw the crystal core in and put it in front of Susie.
"Ouch..." The pain came, but Susie suppressed it. She watched the crystal core in front of her gradually turn into a solution, and her appetite - or the magical beast's desire for magic power completely suppressed the she-wolf's inability to
Much rationality.
The crystal core was quickly completely melted into the blood, and Susie licked it clean without leaving a drop.
Soon the she-wolf seemed to see the scene of drinking water in front of a small pond: "Ouch...?" She stuck out her tongue, subconsciously wanting to drink the water in the small pond, but when she came to her senses, only clean water
Small bowl.
"Ouch?" Susie tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion...Obviously, she couldn't understand why a small pond suddenly appeared before her eyes and then suddenly disappeared.
"Okay, girl, you have thought of something, right? It's okay, you'll be fine after one night." Since she needed to get up early tomorrow, Noli decided to go to bed early.
"Thank you for your hard work." She then carried the female wolf into the carriage and lay down. Susie buried her head on her master's chest and fell into a deep sleep.
"Well, I'll go to bed early today. Sherlock, can you please watch the night before I wake up?" Alexander asked Sherlock with his eyes narrowed while sitting by the campfire.
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay..." Sherlock, who was about to lie down, reluctantly agreed.
"Then I'll trouble you." After Alexander said that, he got up and went to find the captain.
It was basically the same conversation as yesterday. Alexander reminded him to pay attention to his health, then went back to the carriage and drank a bottle of healing potion and went to sleep, preparing to get up and stay awake for the rest of the night.
It's a new day, and all the pioneers get up accompanied by the chirping of red-feathered birds in the rainforest.
After the inspection, Alexander began to help make breakfast, and told the technician in charge of cooking that he planned to go on a long trip and asked him to prepare some dry food. The technician said that although most of the dried meat was not finished, it could be taken away directly, and there was a lot of it.
Alexander thanked the technician and continued working. Because she was about to go on a long journey, she was a little absent-minded. She had already exhausted her concentration by completing the work at hand, so she had no intention of improving her cooking skills. Today's breakfast was mixed broth.
And some nuts.
After getting up in the morning, Noli touched the wolf's head and tidied up her housework, thinking that she would be ready to leave after her teammates finished eating.
"Ouch..." Accompanied by a roar that seemed a little lazy, the female wolf slowly opened her eyes. Susie stood up unsteadily, shook her sky-blue fur, and opened her eyes wide.
Keep your eyes on the owner.
Freya, who was tossing and turning last night, didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, she was still in a daze. It took a while before she realized what she was doing and got up to move her body.
Seeing his teammates getting up slowly one by one, Alexander, who had finished his work, walked over and asked: "By the way, I forgot to ask you yesterday, snake scale leather armor and a magical headband."
Okay, let’s see who is wearing it?”
As she said this, she took out these pieces of equipment from her backpack. To be honest, the big cat hair used in this headband looks quite stupid when worn on the head. It will block half of the hair, but it is very suitable for tribal people to wear.
, very wild.
"It's alright. In short, each person should put on one piece, and then bring dry food with them after dinner and prepare to set off." Seeing that no one wanted it, Alexander gave one piece of snake scale leather armor to each of his teammates. After eating, he himself
Go to the carriage to change out of the tattered leather armor and put on the headband, then go to the technician to get a five-day supply of dried meat for five people and distribute it to your teammates.
Alexander's purple hair flowed down from the headband. Really, this was unimaginable in the Middle Ages and was a bit too fashionable.
Freya also entered the carriage in silence, put on the snakeskin armor on the carriage, and then got out of the carriage.
It was so wild that it would probably frighten enemies. Noli looked at Alexander, whose painting style had become strange, and she couldn't help but put away her leather armor.
Susie followed her master and sniffed the snakeskin armor she had placed.
"Tsk, sure enough, very, very rough." Sherlock, who put on his leather armor directly in the camp, tilted his mouth when he saw Alexander stepping out of the carriage.
"I quite like it myself." Alexander checked the equipment one last time: "Okay, we're ready to go."
"Uh..." Freya, who was following Alexander, showed an awkward yet polite smile. This chapter has been completed!
