Chapter 7 7 Accident

Chapter 7 7. Accident

Bai Lang's breathing became faster and faster. His facial expression, which was still able to remain standing, suddenly twitched, and he staggered back two steps. He happened to step on Lu Yu's cut flesh.

The white wolf lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground in embarrassment. With a muffled "bang" sound, the snow flew, covering the white wolf's figure.

When the white wolf appeared in Lu Yu's sight again, it was lying on its side on the snow with its mouth wide open.

At this time, Lu Yu and Lulutis also saw the wounds hidden by the white wolf.

shocking.

There were obvious burn marks from its hind legs to its abdomen, and the charred flesh just hung on its body, rising and falling with its breathing.

The hind leg bones were exposed, and someone didn't know what kind of weapon or prop had cut out a piece of the white wolf's flesh here.

Just like this, Bai Lang was still able to restrain his pain just now, trying his best to walk out slowly pretending to be nonchalant.

There were several slashing wounds, all concentrated on the front half of the white wolf's body.

Judging from the white wolf's pounce action when hunting, it is conceivable that those who attack it have already tasted the treatment of its sharp claws cutting flesh and blood.

Because of the cold weather, most of the wounds had been covered in blood and solidified.

However, blood was still dripping near the chest and abdomen where the wounds were relatively large.

The white wolf coughed violently, and spat out a piece of bloody iron. There was also a broken piece of cloth stuck to the iron piece, and the pattern on it looked like a falcon about to fly.

The moment Lulutis saw the iron piece, she hesitated for a while and judged: "The iron piece it spit out seems to be the armor plate of standard fine steel armor."

"What about the pattern?"

"It looks like a clan emblem...I see, this is Winter Hunting!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Yu asked.

"As the name suggests, hunting begins when heavy snow seals the mountains and the severe cold forces most monsters and beasts to sleep in their lairs."

"These events are often held by powerful and wealthy nobles."

"They will drive some livestock into the area where they are scheduled to hunt, using the livestock as bait to make the beasts and monsters that are not completely asleep become active."

"After the beasts have had a good meal, these nobles will take advantage of the time when the beasts are full and their mobility is weakened to launch an attack and hunt them."

"This is a way to show off one's face and show off one's strength. If the hunt is successful, they will often brag to others about how brave their master is, single-handedly killing wild beasts or monsters."

"If they are scheming, they will spread rumors of monsters raging in the area near the Winter Hunting beforehand. When people are in panic, they will use the Winter Hunting to win the hearts and minds of the people."

Lu Yu looked around nervously.

Are you kidding me? At this juncture, neither he nor Lulutis have completed their language learning. The language module is being loaded!

Moreover, with Lulutis’s appearance, basically everyone’s first reaction when seeing her is to attack.

Lulutis had obviously thought of this and was about to leave after dragging Lu Yu along.

However, just after floating some distance away, Lu Yu suddenly asked Lulutis to return.

"Give it back?"

"Yes, go back."

"If I encounter a group of people, I have no confidence in dealing with them!" Lulutis said hurriedly.

"I don't think we will encounter a group of people. The white wolf was seriously injured. With his physical strength, there is no way he can escape very far. In other words..."

"The place where the white wolf fought with the group of people was very close to where the cows were being preyed on."

"At such a close distance, the white wolf escaped with serious injuries, but no one pursued him. Don't you think..."

Lulutis followed Lu Yu's thoughts and said in shock: "Total annihilation?"

"It may also be that he was seriously injured and unable to move." Lu Yu said, "We can speculate on this possibility by changing our thinking."

"If it were you who planned to trap a certain monster and released your own bait, would you stay far away from these baits?"

Lulutis thought quickly.

"This is just speculation, in case..."

"Lulutis, we are already running out of food. The weather will only get colder in the future, and the snow will cover a large area, making our search for food less efficient."

"Food shortage is not the most serious problem. Have you ever thought that if there are still survivors in that group of people, after they recover, they will most likely call their friends to search the nearby area."

"We left too many traces where the white wolf fell. People with a little experience can detect something is wrong. Once they get hot and follow us..."

Lulutis was convinced by Lu Yu again.

She found that Lu Yu's analysis and decisions always made her change her mind when she didn't want to express her approval.

The white wolf was already dying, and its wounds had frozen and stopped bleeding. However, the physical loss after the battle and the drag on the injuries caused its physical condition to deteriorate rapidly.

Feeling that life was passing by little by little, it no longer struggled, but looked at the sky with its eyes wide open.

Facing Lu Yu and Lulutis who returned again, Bai Lang just glanced at them and closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

"We can help you heal."

Bai Lang's eyes lit up, but then he looked at Lu Yu with doubtful eyes.

It didn't understand why Lu Yu was a boy but made a girl's voice.

"Don't look at him, look at me. The black mist next to you is the one talking to you."

Lulutis's mental magic was not used smoothly. Even though the white wolf was seriously injured and on the verge of death, its strong willpower still subconsciously resisted the intrusion of external forces.

If Bai Lang wasn't so weak, she wouldn't even be able to create a chance to communicate.

"You should have seen Lu Yu next to me. He was very grateful to you for letting him take the scraps after hunting before."

"Whether it's out of generosity, contempt, arrogance or other reasons, he did survive because of your actions, so..."

"Put down your guard. I will go back and get herbal medicine and give you basic treatment. Whether you can survive it or not depends entirely on you."

"If you agree, stick out your tongue."

Without hesitation, the white wolf stuck out his tongue.

Lulutis was very fast and soon brought back many herbs from the tree hole. She crushed them with her tentacles and kneaded them together in front of the white wolf.

The weather was cold and the white wolf's wounds would not rot, so all Lulutis had to do was let it regain its strength.

After taking a few pills, Bai Lang's painful expression eased somewhat.

Lu Yu knew very well that this was just the powerful power of psychological suggestion. After all, those herbs could not take effect so quickly.

Lu Yu winked at Lulutis.

"Are the people you are fighting with still alive?" Lulutis asked, "If so, stick out your tongue, if not, flick your tail."

The white wolf's tail flicked slightly.

Lulutis looked at Lu Yu, wondering what to do.

"Ask him to give you a specific location and let's go take a look. Whether he's dead or alive, we have to confirm it with our own eyes."

Lu Yu didn't dare to let down his guard on this kind of thing.

As long as there is a living mouth, it may bring endless troubles to oneself.

After confirming the position and about to set off, Lu Yu called out to Lulutis.

"Later, if something unexpected happens, I hope you can approve the decision I made."

Lulutis was stunned for a while, then asked with a smile: "It seems that I haven't objected to you for such a long time, right?"

Lu Yu didn't answer.

Walking in the direction where several cattle were hunted, Lu Yu saw a slightly flat area after climbing over a small slope, which was also one of the few open areas in the mountain forest.

The surroundings are covered in silver, but here it is blood red.

Traces of blood spurts hung directly on several bare trees nearby.

Because the temperature was too low, the blood dripping along the ice edges on the branches solidified in the process.

What is shown on the ground is a bloody landscape painting, with a lot of blood splattered, as if someone took a brush dipped in red ink and splashed ink here.

The smell of blood penetrated Lu Yu's nostrils. It was different from the blood smell of those small animals when he hunted. It was really fishy.

Lulutis was disconnected from the spiritual magic she always maintained.

The black mist seemed to be unable to endure the severe cold and was completely frozen. It no longer spilled or surged.

The tentacles also maintained a strange posture and were frozen in mid-air.

Lu Yu was not surprised that she would have such a reaction.

The attacked white wolf was besieged by a team of about ten people. Under the crisis of life and death, it broke out with terrifying combat power.

Two bodies fell under the tree, and the pieces of armor worn by the bloody corpses were scattered on the ground.

Their chests were sunken, and it was easy to guess that these two warriors had faced the extremely ferocious claws of the white wolf.

The armor protected them from cuts that would have shattered him, at least proving that the craftsmen who made the armor were reliable.

They should be grateful to the craftsman, because most of the others present did not leave intact bodies.

The body parts of the remaining people were scattered everywhere on this empty flat ground, and their blood and flesh were mixed together and stuck to the snow.

Lu Yu felt uncomfortable in his stomach. Most people would feel physically uncomfortable seeing such a scene for the first time.

Before he traveled through time, he was an ordinary person, unable to be as calm as water.

At this moment, I can bear to walk in it, all for the sake of my own life.

"Lulutis, look for anyone alive."

Feeling that Lulutis had regained the connection, Lu Yu ordered in a cold tone.

You must be tough at this time.

"Oh...oh." It was the first time Lulutis heard Lu Yu communicate with her in such a cold and stern tone. She was at a loss for a moment and subconsciously followed the instructions.

Lu Yu found many sacks next to five cows that had been killed violently by the battle.

When I opened it, I saw that it contained rice that was a little different from what I had in mind.

I opened another one and found something frozen and hard inside, like naan or pancakes.

These two kinds of food put the sullen Lu Yu in a good mood, and he even forgot that he was in a sea of ​​blood.

"Lu Yu!"

Lulutis's voice made Lu Yu quickly get up and run to her side quickly.

On the snow, two dying people were pulled out by Lulutis' tentacles.

The red-haired middle-aged man's armor had strange lines on it, and shimmered with light blue from time to time.

The one with flaxen hair was similar to the other dead people, only wearing ordinary armor.

Both of them were seriously injured. One of the red-haired middle-aged man's legs was torn off. The pain and hypothermia made him tremble at the moment.

The flaxen hair, which had no visible scars on the surface, could only breathe out but not in. It looked like it had suffered internal injuries.

When the red-haired man saw Lu Yu, he seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw and struggled to grab Lu Yu's hand.

The power of survival prompted him to speak very quickly, but Lu Yu could only understand a few words.

"He said he was the eldest son of Earl Nott of the Kingdom of Yas. If we save him, he is willing to reward us heavily."

"No wonder this guy has a set of mithril armor enchanted by at least a fourth-level magician. It seems that the lives of noble children are very good no matter where they are."

Lulutis looked down on the noble children.

The cold wind blew, rolling up countless snow and blinding Lu Yu's eyes.

Lu Yu took a deep breath.

"Lulutis, help me tie his hands and feet."

As he said, Lu Yu took out the knife from his backpack that helped him divide food countless times after crossing into this world.

Lulutis noticed something.

"Do you remember what I said before I came here?"

"If there is an unexpected situation, it's all up to you..." Lulutis repeated.

Lu Yu looked at the earl's son who retreated in fear on the ground and tried to struggle to escape.

"He is the accident."
