Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 56 Hunting Ritual
The night is like water, and the stars are twinkling.

The howling cold wind blew through the dense jungle and miscellaneous trees, rustling.

Thorne lay on the yellow grass, looking through the gaps in the bushes, looking at the dense night sky full of stars.

Familiar scenery, but some strange people!

After a while...

Thorn came back to his senses, drew out his long sword, stuck it on the ground, and stood up with difficulty.

Originally half-paralyzed due to physical exhaustion, the 8 points of health brought by the upgrade of the ranger level finally regained a little vitality.

However, it is only possible to move slightly. If the movement range is too large, the injury will be aggravated.

At this moment, the wound on his shoulder was still oozing blood, and his chest, which he didn't pay much attention to at first, also felt more and more serious.

He could feel a vaguely icy breath spreading from the scorched black wound on his chest to all parts of his body at a very slow speed.

Thorne suspected that the black flame of the Wolf Priest had a negative energy and corrosive properties.

Because he is familiar with the negative energy breath after practicing the swordsmanship of the Shadow Hand School, Thorne's judgment is not wrong.

The reason why these negative energy breaths did not quickly spread to the whole body.

Thorne guessed that it was because of the evil protection ability attached to the extraordinary ring, the Ring of the Paladin, which suppressed the shadow energy on his chest.

If you want to deal with this negative energy, you must either cut off the source directly, or you need the priest's magic to disperse it.

So Thorne stood up with difficulty, then moved his body lightly, walked towards Anderina, and asked if there was any potion on her body to treat her injuries.

"Are you OK?"

Thorne looked at Anderina who was sitting on the ground with her arms drooping, and she looked a little dazed and asked casually.

"Do you think it's all right?" Andrina turned her head to look at Thorne upon hearing this, shrugged her shoulders to signal Thorne to look at her two arms, and said with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Dislocated or fractured?" Thorne walked over, glanced at it and asked again.

If it's a dislocation, it's okay, just straighten it for her, but the fracture is more troublesome, unless there is a medicine for serious injuries.

Otherwise, if you want to recover slowly, it will take at least a month or more with the physique of the opponent's dragon blood.

If it was him, it would start in 2 months.

"I feel like I've lost consciousness, and I'm not sure." Anderina shook her head lightly and said.

"How about...Let me take a look at it for you?" Thorn walked up to Anderina and asked for her opinion.

"...Okay." Anderina hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

Thorne slowly lifted one of Anderina's arms and put it in the palm of the other.

The moment he lifted it up, the corner of his eye caught sight of the other's tense pretty face, apparently trying his best to endure the pain from the movement of his arm.

So he stopped hesitating and rolled up the sleeve on his arm, and found a large bruise on it.

Thorne pinched it tentatively, and found that the problem was not serious, it was just dislocated by the two-section iron rod of the wolf man priest, as long as it was straightened, it would be fine.

After all, as a dragon vein warlock, although the current level is not very high, after the baptism of dragon blood, the half-dragon body and the protection of solid dragon scales have good defense.

Thorne felt the other party's arm trembling slightly because of the pain, and said in a deep voice: "Hold on, it will hurt!"

After seeing her nod with difficulty, Thorne's eyes narrowed slightly, and he held her arm, and suddenly exerted strength.

Immediately afterwards, there was an intermittent clicking sound and Anderina's cry of pain.

Thorne wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally corrected the opponent's two dislocated arms.

He still learned the job of setting bones from a player who is proficient in medical skills in Pushang Town.

At this time, Anderina's arm was still trembling slightly, but it seemed that there was no serious problem, and it would be fine if it slowed down soon.

After a while...

Anderina's arm seemed to have regained its vitality, and she took out three bottles of medicine from the dimension bag with some difficulty.

Then hand two of the bottles to Thorne.

After Thorne hesitated, he still took it.

But when he saw the properties of the potion, he looked at the other party in a little surprise.

It turned out to be a bottle of potion for treating serious injuries and high-level stamina potion.

The priest has a three-ring spell: cure serious injuries!

This kind of magic, as long as the injury is not fatal, can bring a life back from the brink of death.

The potion for treating serious injuries in Thorne's hand has the same effect as the three-ring divine art, and the high-level stamina potion can quickly restore more than 60% of his physical strength.

These two medicines have a clearly marked price in the pharmacy in Winter City: 500 gold coins.

So Thorn temporarily put away the potion for treating serious injuries, and he didn't know how to clear the shadow energy in his chest.

Moreover, this potion will stimulate the body's vitality and cause it to fall into a state of weakness. The more serious the injury, the longer it will take to become weak.

There is also the wound on his shoulder. If the open wound is not stitched up and the potion for treating serious injuries is used directly, the scarred wound will remain in the same shape when it was opened.

The deformed body will greatly affect the coordination of the body for future battles, so the wound must be stitched up first.

As all the high-level stamina potions were poured into Thorne's mouth, waves of very comfortable vitality suddenly appeared in Thorne's body, spreading to his whole body.

When all the effects of the medicine were used up, Thorne felt his whole body full of vitality again. The only fly in the ointment was that the wounds on his chest and shoulders were still exuding burning pain.

Thorn didn't dare to waste too much time here, enduring the pain of the wound, got up to do something very important to him.

Hunting ceremony!

Thorn got up and was about to leave when he suddenly paused, then turned around and said to Anderina, "Thank you for your help and these two bottles of medicine."

The two sides were not very familiar with each other, but the other party got involved to help him. No matter how this favor was said, Thorne still had to remember it.

As for the two bottles of potions, there is no way to return them for the time being, mainly because he is too poor, and the ceremony to activate the second-ring divine arts still needs a lot of money, and he hasn't got them together yet.

Anderina, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, brushed the messy hair on her forehead and chuckled lightly, she didn't seem to care much, and then said weakly:
"It's okay, just helping each other, don't be so polite, I will ask you to take us to Twilight Town tomorrow."

"That's no problem." Thorne nodded in response, then turned and left. Going to Twilight Town was not too much trouble for him, and it happened to be on the way.

Then Thorn walked to a fairly open ground, and then used the long sword in his hand to clean up all the withered and yellow weeds on the ground.

As a follower of Gwaeron Storm, whenever the hunt is successful.

Believers will be required to print six footprints of their right feet into a pattern on the spot, with the heels close together and the toes facing outward, in order to hold the hunting ceremony.

If you are lucky in this hunting ceremony, you will also get some gifts from Gwaeron Storm.

Thorne immediately sat cross-legged on the ground after printing the footprints, holding the holy emblem of the five-star paw print, eyes slightly closed, and silently recited the teachings of the Patron Saint of the Ranger of the North:

Intelligent beings can live in harmony with wild life without destroying one in the name of the other.

We should embrace the wild and not fear it, for the way of the wild is the way of the best.

Maintain the balance of nature and learn the hidden ways of all life.

……

As Thorne silently muttered the teachings of the patron saint of the rangers of the Northland, the six-legged footprints in front of him suddenly emitted a faint light in the night.

At this time, a slightly solemn yet unrestrained voice echoed in Thorne's mind:
As a hunter of the Way of Silence, you must keep your mission in mind and punish those villains who hunt natural wilderness creatures for entertainment or cruelty!
When the sound dissipated, Thorn, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes suddenly.

There is peace in the dense jungle.

Trundle, who had been fatally injured, had already stood up unharmed by virtue of his strong resilience.

Next to the burnt Gnoll Priest, cleaning up the remaining loot.

On the other hand, Andelina looked at Thorne with great interest, and there was a hint of surprise and doubt in her eyes.

Because she had clearly seen just now that the strange footprints in front of Thorne suddenly emitted a faint green light that enveloped his body, and then disappeared quickly.
