Chapter 98 Strange Black Air
These black airs give people the feeling of living things, like black octopuses entwining their arms and rolling constantly.
Ryan has never seen such a strange thing.
But thinking carefully, it seems to be somewhat similar to the green light emitted by the wooden amulet.
"Some kind of evil mysterious side energy?" Ryan was puzzled.
"But how is this possible? Didn't the barbarian team go to destroy the ogre?"
When the barbarian bounty hunter team entered the town of Shining Gold, the barbarian captain Harald, nicknamed 'Giant', was extremely tall and mighty. If you want to hurt the shield girl, you must first pass him, right?
"Now the shield girl is lying here without knowing whether she is dead or alive. Could it be that the ogre is so fierce and can also do witchcraft?" Ryan thought about it and felt that this matter should not be so simple. At the same time, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"But no matter what, let's see if the other party can be saved first."
Ryan immediately stepped forward and checked carefully.
He first slowly turned the other person over and laid her flat on her back.
The girl had a painful expression, her brows were furrowed, and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, as if she had suffered some kind of internal injury.
The headband on her forehead was gone, and her light yellow hair was hanging down in a mess, stained with a lot of blood and sweat, and the hair became clumps, sticking to her forehead and cheeks.
Ryan put two fingers on the other person's white neck artery, felt it for a while, and nodded.
"There is a pulse, and there is a weak breath. Fortunately, it seems that she is not dead yet, so there is hope." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He might not have had a way before, but since Anna could control the magical green light.
He felt that as long as the shield girl was not dead, Anna should be able to be cured slowly.
But this black air.
It seems a bit tricky, which makes the treatment mixed with some uncertainty.
At this time, the greyhound puppy 'Cookie' on the side suddenly barked wildly at the back of Ryan.
The danger perception also reacted, and Ryan immediately put down the shield girl and turned to look.
I saw several pairs of green eyes approaching slowly from the depths of the forest.
"It's a timber wolf!" Ryan quickly saw the other party's figure with his dark vision. There were seven or eight timber wolves with brown-gray hair, gradually surrounding him.
These timber wolves were even bigger than the North American brown wolves Ryan had seen in his previous life. Basically, the combat effectiveness of a timber wolf was not less than that of an adult man holding a pitchfork.
"Whimsel~"
'Cookie' was obviously a little panicked and scared, and shrank towards Ryan's feet.
At this time, the wolf pack slowly surrounded him.
It seemed that they found that the enemy in front of them was very "weak", and the calf-sized head wolf let out a low roar, which directly triggered a wave of attack.
The two or three-meter-long brown-gray wolf shadow rushed straight to Ryan like a flash of lightning.
"Power burst!"
Ryan's whole body suddenly jumped up by 20 to 30 centimeters, his muscles were knotted and veins bulged.
Then, a silver arc flashed from bottom to top, and suddenly tore open the lower abdomen of the wolf leader.
"Shua!"
The sound of skin and flesh being cut sounded.
"Ah~~~"
The wolf leader howled, and the two or three hundred pounds of wolf body was still twitching in the air, but blood and many organs had already come out of the wolf's belly!
The next second, it fell heavily to the ground, and was directly disemboweled by Ryan's sword.
This immediately frightened the other wolves in the charge, and they all turned their heads to avoid Ryan, the "murderer"!
Ryan kicked the body of the wolf leader back to the hungry wolf pack with a heavy kick.
Looking at the powerful Ryan, the group of wolves whimpered and retreated.
At this time, 'Cookie' seemed to sense the power of his master and the enemy's shrinking.
Immediately, it trotted forward and barked at a group of wolves that were at least two circles larger than it.
"Woof woof woof!"
Perfectly explaining what it means to be a dog relying on the power of others.
Ryan quickly picked up the barbarian girl on the ground, picked up the battle axe and the broken shield beside him, and turned to leave.
Saving people is important!
This is why Ryan chose to use the skill of "Power Burst" to kill the other wolf leader in seconds, so as to make a quick decision.
After Ryan left, the group of forest wolves quickly surrounded the still twitching corpse of the wolf leader and began to feast on it.
They didn't mind that this was the corpse of their own kind.
"Filling the stomach" is the most important thing for them.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Ryan holding a woman covered in blood, which scared his mother Emma on the spot.
"Anna, go and prepare. Mother, this is all wolf blood."
The shocked Anna immediately understood and ran upstairs quickly.
She knew what Ryan meant, that he wanted her to prepare to use the magical amulet to save people.
"What is this?"
"Mom, I found her lying on the side of the road when I was walking the dog, so I rescued her." Ryan explained.
This made mother Emma feel relieved, and she said, "Then we have to find a doctor?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll take her upstairs and let Anna take a look at her first." Ryan didn't say much, and went upstairs with the barbarian girl in his arms.
Mother Emma was stunned.
"Let Anna take a look at her?"
"When did Anna learn to treat?"
"Is Anna a doctor?"
"Why have I never heard her talk about it?"
Wait for Ryan to gently put the tall and graceful barbarian girl on the bed.
At this time, Anna, who had been waiting aside, slowly stepped forward, but Ren reached out to stop Anna who wanted to start treatment immediately, pointed at the black air on the barbarian girl's left arm and said:
"Ana, be careful, that black energy seems very strange."
“If it doesn’t work, don’t force it.”
Ren's caring words made Anna's cheeks blush. She nodded obediently and hummed heavily.
Immediately afterwards, Anna held the amulet with both hands, closed her eyes, and concentrated on the wooden amulet.
Soon, a ball of rich green light appeared in Anna's palm.
Under Anna's control, this soft and rich green light quickly fell on the barbarian girl.
In an instant, the girl's entire body glowed with green light!
No, only the left hand that originally held the shield still exudes a faint black energy.
At this time, the black energy seemed to know that the green light wanted to expel it, and was fighting to the death with the green energy controlled by Anna.
However, the green energy with Anna's continuous support seems to be stronger than the black energy.
Soon, the green light suppressed the black energy and retreated steadily, all the way from the girl's left forearm to the palm of her hand.
But at this time, Ren noticed that fine beads of sweat had begun to appear on Anna's forehead.
Obviously, such an operation is also extremely energy-consuming for Anna.
Just when Ren was considering whether to persuade Anna to stop and rest first, suddenly the green light bloomed further, and the black energy was forced out of the shield girl's left hand and dissipated in the air in an instant. .
However, there seemed to be a faint smell of fishiness and decay in the air.
It's like the smell that hits you when an old house that has been unoccupied for more than ten years is suddenly opened one day.
At this time, Anna's thin body swayed, and her originally rosy complexion took on a weak paleness. Ren immediately helped Anna sit down by the bed.
"Anna, you are too reluctant! Why don't you come in two times?"
"No, Ren, I can feel that black air is very scary. If I stop, the black air will rekindle and occupy her arm again."
"If you start over, all your previous efforts will be wasted. So, the only way is to work hard." Anna shook her head and explained seriously while looking into Ren's eyes, with a trace of unnoticeable stubbornness in her eyes.
"Huh?" So that's it, Ren nodded.
When Ren looked at the barbarian girl again, he found that her frown had relaxed, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her face seemed to be much better than before treatment.
After thinking about it, Ren turned to Anna and said, "Anna, you go and have a good rest first. I will take care of you here."
"Yes." Anna nodded obediently, and with Ren's help, she returned to the side room to rest.
She was indeed not in a good condition now. The treatment just consumed her too much energy. At this moment, Anna felt waves of dizziness coming over her. She urgently needed a good sleep.
Renn was not kept waiting too long.
After being treated, the barbarian girl slowly woke up after about half an hour.
With a moan, the barbarian girl opened her confused eyes.
"Are you awake?" Ren whispered.
The girl trembled, slowly turned her head to look at Ren, and said, "Wake up?"
The girl's eyes gradually returned to clarity, but the next second, she seemed to remember something, and she curled up involuntarily, hugged her knees with her hands, and sobbed softly on the bed.
This situation immediately stunned Ren.
But soon, he realized that something might have happened to someone else in her team.
"Um, can you tell me what happened to you?"
"I remember that day, you came to Goldshire as a whole team." Renn said slowly after considering his words.
The girl continued to sob for a while, then slowly asked: "Is this Goldshire?"
"Yes, this is Goldshire. You are safe here now. By the way, can you tell me your name? My name is Renn." Renn was overjoyed. It would be great if he could communicate.
"My name is La Gray, from the barbarian tribe in the windy tundra in the northern part of the empire."
"Thank you for saving me!" The girl raised her head and looked directly at Ren with a pair of big red and swollen eyes. There were tears on her eyelashes, but there was a hint of perseverance in her eyes.
That kind of perseverance gave Ren the feeling of being like a rock that stood firm in the roaring north wind.
This time, Renn was not allowed to ask again.
The barbarian girl named La Gray slowly told the story of what happened to their team in the past two days.
"The falcon investigation report from the Habsburg Manor was correct. There was indeed only one ogre. However, after we arrived, we discovered that the other party was an old ogre, very cunning."
An elderly ogre?
Is it possible that he can perform witchcraft?
Renn had some doubts in his heart, but he did not ask, but listened patiently to LaGrei's story.
"In fact, it has many vassals, but it has the vassals stationed near its residence, which caused us to misjudge at the beginning."
"As we launched our attack, the cunning old ogre mobilized his gnoll and kobold vassals to besiege us."
"Fortunately, my brother Harald is a violent berserker, and his physical liberation level exceeds 40%."
