Chapter 328 Knight in shining Armour 2
Finally, they arrived at a cave and he dropped her inside with care, "wait for me!"
She had barely gotten herself together when he rushed out of the cave.
There were Terrifying ROARS, and the SCREAMS, without a doubt, he was engaging with the terrifying beasts.
She could not hold it back, her curiosity got the better of her and she wanted to see what was happening outside.
However, the pain in her ankle pulled her back to the ground.
She couldn't help but to massage it a little.
Just then, she heard the Whimpering cry of the beast.
And just like that, all the rumbling and tumbling went silent.
In fact, it became too silent.
And then, she could hear the sound of drags, like someone was pulling a sack of grain along the ground.
The first she was was the big Paw of the Blue core mountain lion.
However, it was soon followed by another, before the head.
However, the ferocious nature was no longer there.
In fact, it was absolutely empty of life.
After all, the head was hanging loosely from the side.
She could not believe it. However, the blood pouring out of it's head was all the evidence she needed to know that it was true.
This mountain lion for all it's strength and ferocity was now dead.
However, a young man suddenly leaped into the cave, and then he pulled the big heavy lion I'm like it was just another day, another chore.
She couldn't help but panic at this as she involuntarily pulled herself backwards deeper into the cave, clearly forgetting that to get out, she had to go the way she was running from.
However, her movements were simply based on instincts.
The Young Man suddenly stopped what he was doing as he walked up to her.
It was at this point that she took a good look at him.
He was a bit rough looking, evidently, he had lived in these cave for years.
He was very young, and she estimated that he was about fifteen years old.
On his body were a not so pretty mixture of scars, possibly from beasts he had fought in the wild.
Most of them were old, but some of them leaked blood.
These ones were the ones he had gotten from the fight with the Blue cored mountain lion.
He took two steps towards her, "Mama, are you alright?"
However, as he advanced forward, she moved back a bit.
"Don't worry, I only want to check if you are okay," he gave a caring smile as he stretched a hand.
However, she suddenly noticed something on him.
She pointed to his side, "you are injured!"
He chuckled lowly, "don't worry, I get injured now and then, it's just one of those things."
"NO! Your side" she pointed again.
This time around, he looked.
At the side of his abdomen, there was a long claw sticking out of a wound.
Knowing how big one claw from the beast was, it was evident that most of it was inside his body.
He grabbed it and pulled it out of the wound.
An action that she tried to stop, but he had already done it.
She knew a good significance about the human body and animal injuries to know that this was the wrong move to make.
This was proven true as a jet of blood shot out of the wound like an erupting volcano.
He chuckled a bit. However his confident smile was replaced with a drowsy frown.
He staggered a bit to the left and then to the right, before he fell on the ground head first.
~Dum~
The old woman was taken by surprise.
She stood up, and slowly, she walked up to him.
First with her leg and and then she tapped him, "Boy! Boy!! Are you okay?" However, there was no response.
She tried again and again, but there was still no response.
With the little strength she had, she flipped him over to the side.
She could see it.
He was bleeding badly.
She was not too sure how cultivators did it, but one thing was sure, even cultivators would not survive without blood, and the moment this boy had lost a lot of it, he would definitely die.
Instantly, she looked around the place as she thought of a way to save his life.
She thought of leaving the cave, but the carcass of the dead blue core mountain lion was obstructing at the entrance.
Even if she wanted to, she could not push it out of the way.
It was at this time that she turned to check inside the cave.
This was truly the first time she was observing her environment properly.
The cave was as wide as two rooms and as high as fifteen feet.
It had a bed for one not too far away, lined with fur from core beast.
In another corner were drums of water, and at another corner, were items she recognized to be food.
It was quite impressive to see that this young boy lived alone in this cave. At least that was the indication she got from the environment.
And to think that he became so strong that he could take down a beast.
She was very impressed. She looked around some more.
On the walls of the cave were glowing mushrooms growing off the walls.
These mushrooms, she recognized at first sight.
These mushrooms were not so good to the taste buds, but they made for very incredible medicine.
Ironically, there were very perfect for the current situation.
She instantly ran around plugging some ripe ones from the joints in
the wall.
After which, she found a smooth grinding stone and made it into tiny chunks.
She used some water and some leaf that she managed to find at the side for bandages.
As she ran around, cleaning and trying to mend the wound, she did not notice that the face of the passed out individual she was treating suddenly cracked a side smile.
