Chapter 14: Hook-toothed rat
Compared to the past when he heard the hook-toothed rat's request, Ai Luo's mood now was indescribably complicated.
He and the pastor looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on. At the same time, they also understood that this matter was far from over.
"Are there any injuries? Is anyone hurt?"
Ai Luo shouted this sentence one step ahead, which also made the holy wafer look at him with a little approval in his eyes.
Doctor Korra nodded and pointed outside: "My friend! My friend went to Shining Forest with me to find medicinal materials. He is outside now! His illness... is very serious! I... I don't even know
What should we do! Don’t you have healing potions here? Your guild has alchemical healing potions, right? Hurry up and save my friend, save my friend!”
The situation was urgent, and Arrow immediately waved to Korra to bring his friend in.
Soon, the barefoot doctor came in carrying a town citizen who was turning blue, with black spots all over his body, and with weak limbs.
He put the town citizen on the table and said nervously: "President Arrow, how is the situation? I have never seen such a big hook-toothed rat! What is going on with those hook-toothed rats? Is it possible?
Could it be related to the recent military siege of our town? And...and..."
Korra looked at his friend with some pain, and the expression on his face seemed to be even more painful than his friend's: "Will the treatment be expensive? If it is expensive... if it is very expensive..."
Arrow didn't have time to listen to Korra's chatter. He quickly walked behind the counter and took out a pair of gloves he usually used for housework and put them on. Then he took a pair of scissors and quickly cut open the townsman's clothes and cut them off.
Remove those areas that are stained with blood.
It was obvious that this town citizen's waist was stained with a large amount of blood, and a piece of flesh was bitten off, and even the internal organs could be seen.
Seeing this, Arrow took down a bottle of therapeutic aerosol from the shelf behind the counter without thinking, and smashed it open next to the townspeople.
After hovering for less than a second, the therapeutic aerosol immediately penetrated into the townspeople's bodies, and the wounds began to recover rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although a small bottle of therapeutic aerosol could not completely heal the wound, it seemed that it had begun to heal.
scar, and no longer bleeds.
However, the more troublesome situation is behind.
While Ai Luo was busy with these things, the Holy Bread Priest had also been checking the body of this citizen.
A soft light emitted from his palms, constantly sweeping over the skin with black spots. After confirming for a moment, he finally nodded and cast a very difficult look at Ai Luo.
"Same as the Muppets?"
"Same. However, the symptoms are milder and the symptoms are detected earlier."
After saying that, the priest immediately raised his light staff and tapped it lightly on the floor. The powerful light element power was instantly reflected on the staff, and a soft halo shrouded the town man like a searchlight.
On the people.
Just like the darkness is always afraid of darkness, these black spots began to fade little by little under the illumination of this light.
After about half an hour, the townspeople's originally blue faces finally turned rosy, and their breathing began to calm down.
Seeing this, Holy Bread exhaled slightly and stopped holding the staff in his hand.
"Okay, he should be fine. The curse on him has been removed. Just let him go home and recuperate for a few days."
Seeing that his friend regained his energy, Korra also exhaled a long breath. He thanked the priest repeatedly, as if he felt relieved: "Thank you, thank you Pastor! If something really happens to him,
If so, I would be in trouble. I can't afford to offend his wife and children. Especially his son! If his big son knew that something happened to his father while he was helping me, I would be beaten to death by them.
"
Korra, who had relaxed again, picked up her friend again and started to leave, but Airl stood in front of him "naturally", stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Five silver coins for the diagnosis and treatment fee, thank you."
Well, very good. Korra's grateful expression just now was immediately distorted into an expression like someone who owed him several hundred gold coins and wanted to default on the debt.
But Ai Luo did not intend to just let him go. Although in the final analysis, the injuries on the townspeople did have some factors that he had not noticed before. If he could tell the townspeople in advance, in recent times,
You can avoid many dangers by not going to Shining Forest.
But... you are stupid if you don’t make money even if you have money?
"Five... silver coins? So expensive?"
Korra slowly put his friend down, as if as long as his friend didn't die, he would take the initiative again.
Ai Luo continued to act stupid and said with a smile: "Is it expensive? It's very cheap, right? I only charge you for a bottle of therapeutic aerosol. As for the priest's fee to remove the curse, I haven't charged you yet."
The holy wafer on the other side quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a little effort, it doesn't matter. I don't charge."
Korra immediately nodded to the holy wafer and thanked her again: "Priest! You are really our best priest~~~!"
After saying that, he looked at Ai Luo again, as if he was preparing to use this kind of eye attack to make Ai Luo comply.
It's a pity that Ai Luo still stretched out his hand, with an attitude of being indifferent.
"Damn it... your guild is really good at cheating money. Just cheat money. What's going on with those hook-toothed rats? Is there any way to deal with them?"
Korra handed over five silver coins and complained while pushing her friend to the carriage outside the door.
Ai Luo picked up a silver coin and said very seriously: "Don't worry, these five silver coins should not only be used as diagnosis and treatment fees, but also as the cost of eradicating those hook-toothed rats. We will definitely find a way to kill those things."
With Arrow's promise, the barefoot doctor seemed to have a little more psychological balance. He pushed his friend into the carriage, looking full of expectation: "It's settled! Hurry up, the harvest in the forest has begun to decline recently.
If it takes a few more days, I won't be able to collect any more herbs."
After receiving Ai Luo's full agreement, the doctor drove his friend away.
After his carriage disappeared from the corner of the street, Ai Luo changed his serious face again and said to the holy wafer——
"Uncle Holy Bread, it looks like the situation is more serious than we thought. It's only been one morning and someone has been attacked. I'm afraid that if time goes on, the situation will get worse and worse."
The holy wafer rubbed his staff a little and nodded: "I think so too. Shall we set off now?"
Ai Luo shook his head: "Wait a moment for our guild members. These hook-toothed rats will infect people with curses once they bite them. It's better to have more people and more helpers."
At noon, the guild members came back to eat. After hearing Ai Luo briefly introduce the mutation of the hook-toothed rat yesterday, they immediately said that they could stop what they were doing and go to the Shining Forest.
Ai Luo was very pleased to see this group of members working so hard. He immediately told everyone to pack up their equipment and props, and after a simple lunch, they immediately went out and headed to the Shining Forest to the east.
————
Hook-toothed rat, a small monster in the fields.
There is no very powerful force, it just relies on the advantages of fast reproduction and large numbers to survive.
It does not have any attack methods, and this kind of monster is often the food of other monsters. To put it more simply, some children in the countryside can even catch hook-toothed rats to play with, and they can even be used as a delicious meal.
"Ah? Can hook-toothed rats really be eaten?"
Coco was startled. Although this little girl had been exposed to many hook-toothed rat tasks, she was still very surprised when she heard that this kind of monster could really be used for roasting.
Ai Luo gave a wry smile. Seeing that the shining forest in front was gradually approaching, he nodded and said——
"Indeed, it is possible, but wild hook-toothed rats are not very tasty. There is almost no meat and they are all bones. Generally, people only eat them during times of famine. In contrast, if they are specially bred,
The hook-toothed rat will have much more meat on its body and will taste more delicious."
"oh……"
Coco slightly shrunk her head and shook her head slowly——
"I still think this kind of thing is terrible... The monsters will eat us humans, and we humans will eat the monsters..."
Ai Luo did not pay attention to her soliloquy and continued: "As I said just now, the hook-toothed rat does not have much strength. Although it is a little faster, it is not so fast that it cannot be dealt with. But all of this is impossible.
It's based on the common hook-toothed rat."
"According to Korra's description, the hook-toothed rats we are about to face now may be as tall as our waists, and some of them have barbs on their bodies. Once bitten by them, they may be cursed and lose their ability to fight.
So we must be careful now, and there must be no damage in this battle. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Everyone responded loudly, and this answer also made Ai Luo feel a lot more at ease. He turned his head and looked at the shining forest in front of him again, and nodded slightly.
"Uncle Holy Bread, could you please help us on the side? And...can you listen to my command for the time being?"
"Under your command?" He seemed a little surprised by this proposal. But after thinking about it, the priest nodded, "Okay, what do you want to do? Let's fight all the way in and sweep it slowly?"
In response, Ai Luo slowly shook his head.
Give him ten more courages, and he would not dare to command his team to run to a place where the line of sight is unclear, facing a pile of hook-toothed rats whose number is unknown, and one bite would render a person incapacitated.
