"Oh, it's here."
A middle-aged swordsman was carefully looking at the various traces on the ground in the deep forest.
This was one of the strongest warriors in the village, the Level 2 Warrior Naka.
It had been many years since he had accepted a mission.
Ever since he became a second rank warrior, his taxes had been greatly reduced. He didn't have the ambition to become a martial soul rank warrior, and he was also tired of the life of fighting and killing, so he simply became a martial arts teacher in the village. Usually, he was quite respected, and his life was quite good.
But now, a wolf king suddenly appeared and attacked everyone it saw. Two people in the village had died and two were injured. His nephew, a Level Three Warrior, was bitten by it and was covered in bruises. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet other warriors who went out on a mission and survived the wolf's bite.
According to the information, the wolf king was quite strong and cunning. It gave up attacking when it saw more people and specifically targeted those who were alone. An ordinary Grade 1 warrior should be able to chase it away, but it was not so easy to take its life. Therefore, he made his move. For the peace of the village, he had to get rid of it.
According to the survivor's description, the wolf would usually lie in ambush near the village. In order to fool it and make it think that he was a person who risked his life to pick herbs, he deliberately walked slowly along the way. Who knew that it would actually run into the depths of the forest?
There was another person's footprints near the wolf's footprints. Perhaps the wolf had followed that person into the deep forest, hoping that he could persist until he found him. Thinking that someone was being chased by the Wolf King, Naka didn't bother to disguise himself and started to chase after the wolf's tracks.
After walking for a while, Naka saw a few fallen trees on the ground in front of him. The ground was filled with the footprints of humans and wolves. It was obvious that there had been a fierce battle here.
It seemed that someone had been targeted by the Wolf King. However, this person's ability to escape was very strong. The Wolf King had chased him all the way here before catching up to him. Then, the two of them had a fierce battle. Looking at the traces of the battlefield, the battle might have just stopped.
Thinking that the cunning Wolf King might be nearby, Naka drew his weapon and carefully explored forward.
After going around the messy trees, Naka saw a person lying on the ground, covered in blood and motionless.
It seemed that he was still too late.
Naka began to regret his meaningless actions near the village and wasting the rescue time.
Naka walked over with an attitude of just in case, wanting to see if there was still hope for that person.
"Daley!"
After seeing the person's face, Naka was shocked and immediately began to perform first aid.
First of all, he had to find the best hemostatic medicine and block the wound on the artery with force. Then, he had to press the lower part of the artery tightly to prevent the blood from flowing too much and rushing through the wound medicine. It was obvious that Daley had immediately pressed his finger on the wound to slow down the blood flow. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lasted until now. As for the possible side effects of his blood vessels being compressed for too long, he could not take care of them for the time being. Saving him was more important.
After the medicine started to take effect, Naka let go of the finger that was pressing on the artery. He took out a clean white cloth and wrapped it around the wound to stop the blood from flowing out.
After a while, the red marks on the white cloth stopped spreading. It seemed that the blood had stopped, or it had flowed out. Hopefully, it had stopped.
After doing all this, Naka finally had time to place his ear on Daley's chest.
He could still hear his heartbeat, and Naka let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he wasn't dead. Naka didn't dare to move Daley now, so he let him lie there. He lit a fire beside him and sat beside it.
He had done what he needed to do, and the rest was up to him.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Daley opened his eyes and saw the flickering flames in front of his eyes.
He didn't die? There was actually someone who coincidentally rushed over to save him after his battle with the Wolf King?
"You're finally awake."
A face appeared in front of Daley.
It was Teacher Naka from the village.
"How did you end up like this?”
"Wolf King."
Daley said with difficulty.
"Oh, you're so unlucky to be targeted by it. How was it? Forget it, I'll get you back to the village first, then I'll slowly find it.”
"It's probably dead."
Daley thought of the wolf king. For some reason, his throat was a little hoarse.
"I pierced its chest."
"Oh, then it seems that my bounty for this mission is gone.”
Naka shook his head.
"But congratulations, you've finally advanced to become a warrior. Come, drink some water. You lost too much blood. I thought you were dead.”
"Thank you."
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water and Nacate's meat porridge, Daley fell asleep again.
The next day, Daley struggled to get up and followed Naka, following the trail of blood.
"Looking at the direction, it's going to Sulfur Valley."
Naka said to Daley, who was barely moving forward.
"Walk slowly, don't be anxious, it's a dead end.”
Daley nodded slightly, and after a while, he continued walking forward.
The blood trail stopped at a cliff. The two of them looked down and saw a gray figure lying motionless on a large rock that had been picked out from the middle of the cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, a scorching aura surged out like a furnace.
"Looks like it's dead. Let's go back.”
Naka supported Daley and walked back.
Seeing Naka return with Daley, who had lost too much blood and was as pale as a ghost, Emily was so happy that tears flowed out of her eyes. Then, she scolded him fiercely.
Michael and the others silently walked in front of him and each gave him a hug.
Although he was covered in wounds, he had finally come back alive. He had become a warrior and returned alive.
One morning a month later, a group of people bid farewell to a young man carrying a backpack at the village entrance.
"Daley, you really want to go on a long journey?"
Amy asked worriedly.
"Yes."
Daley answered without hesitation.
"The essence of a warrior is the wisdom and skills of battle. I want to travel, see more scenery, experience more martial arts, and face more enemies. Only then can I better improve my skills. I don't want to be a samurai for the rest of my life.”
"Well said."
Michael stretched out his hand and patted Daley's shoulder.
"This is what it means to be a man!"
"Then, as a man, do you want to go with him?”
asked Emily angrily.
"I have concerns, unlike him. When the matters at home are settled, I will go out too.”
Michael replied heartlessly.
"If you're tired, remember to come back."
Emily ignored Michael and reminded Daley.
"Yes, I will come back one day. After all, this is my home."
Pretending not to see the tears in Emily's eyes, Daley nodded hard.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Seeing Emily lower her head, Daley hardened his heart and walked out of the village.
At this moment, the sun had risen from the peak of the mountain range. It sprinkled a ray of light on the young man who had gone far away, as if giving him his blessing.
