witcher of light

Chapter 18 Backlash and Rescue

"Dangdang!"

A sharp loud noise came from the old horse's room, as if something like a porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

Wang Li turned around in surprise, just in time to see the old horse knocked out of his room, and the dilapidated door panel fell to the ground together with him.

Wang Li hurried over to check...

"Get me out of here!"

The old horse said hoarsely.

Then Wang Li noticed that there was a lot of blood pouring out from the seam of his hands covering his neck...

he is injured!

But at this time...

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

A sharp sound came from the room, and Wang Li looked over in astonishment... only to see that the flying sickle that was supposed to be the old horse spirit servant was showing a dangerous aura. near.

It has some blue and black spots that are constantly spreading, but it looks very confused...or in pain.

Wang Li could feel that it was trying to restrain some impulse of its own, but it seemed to be hard to restrain itself.

"It... what happened to it?"

he asked a little nervously.

In his mind, he quickly searched for information about Lingshi...

In the end, he quickly hesitated between the two options of 'Bewitched' and 'Lord Devourer', and then came to 'Lord Devourer'.

"Chong!"

The will of the flying sickle seemed to be weaker, it popped out its own sickle again, and shot toward Wang Li...

But it's slow.

Even in Wang Li's eyes, it was even slower than when the old horse called it out for a demonstration last time!

Its scythe is full of hesitation, self-resistance, self-denial.

But it is undeniable that this knife is very dangerous for the two people on the scene.

Wang Li's expression suddenly became focused, and a six-pointed star formation appeared in front of him... the formation of Lingyu!
"Ding!!"

After the crisp sound, the flying scythe almost cut through the Lingyu formation, and he was inevitably shocked back two steps.

And at this moment, Wang Li calmly called out: "Yingying!"

Almost at the same time as his voice sounded, a jet of water sprayed out from Hotaru's small mouth.

After the water jet left her mouth, it spewed out quickly, becoming about the thickness of a fist, and then hit Fei Sian's body, knocking it back a certain distance.

After undergoing additional evolution during the growth period, the power of Hotaru's water column has become much stronger.

But this is not enough.

Wang Li immediately pinched his hexagram certificate, and after a glimmer of light in his eyes, he threw the button to Yingying...

The button was inserted into Yingying's forehead at once, and a hexagram array was formed instantly... the array of spiritual strikes!
The water jet spit out by Yingying instantly increased its power, pushing the flying scythe back into the room like a high-pressure water gun.

"boom!"

It was directly pushed against the wall at the other end of the room, and then dropped its four scythes feebly.

It was actually very weak, and it collapsed after being hit by Hotaru.

After Wang Li glanced to make sure it was safe, he let Ying continue to look at the opponent with the strengthening of the Spirit Strike Formation, while he himself looked at the old horse...

The old horse's face was already pale.

He clutched his neck and coughed up blood.

It looks like I want to go to heaven at any time...

Wang Li felt something was wrong at the time, so he quickly pulled his hand away to start operating.

And the old horse tried to open his mouth, as if he wanted to confess his last words...

"Don't move around, be quiet!"

As a result, Wang Li slapped his head and pushed his head away, and then the wound on his neck was pulled again, causing him to twitch in pain.

Wang Li is now focused on treating his wounds, so he has no time to care about whether he is in pain or not.

The 'spiritual light detection array' was activated instantly, and a layer of clear light appeared in his palm, and then quickly fed back the condition of the wound on the old horse's neck to Wang Li's mind.

"There is a cut in the main artery, the bleeding must be stopped first..."

He muttered in his mouth, stretched out his hand and pressed down hard on the upper and lower parts of the old horse's neck...

This made the eyes of the old horse who was bleeding heavily began to turn white, and he felt that he was about to be strangled to death.

At least the bleeding stopped, right?
Wang Li's routine is a bit wild, and he's not a medical professional, so it's pretty cool to be able to do this.

Fortunately, the trachea was not injured. At this time, it is enough to seal the opening on the artery.

So the 'Healing Aura' came into play.

The spiritual power glued the blood vessels on both sides together, and then stimulated the self-regeneration ability of the blood vessel cells, making this section of blood vessels repair themselves quickly.

At this time, Wang Li had already let go of the hands pinching the two blood vessels. After all, with spiritual bonding, there would be no problem for the time being.

The old horse finally recovered, looking at Wang Li with frightened eyes...

Almost, he almost got strangled before bleeding to death!

Fortunately, it's slowing down now.

Although shed a lot of blood, at least he was rescued.

"A Li... have you learned the 'healing light'?" His expression became complicated.

On the one hand, I am grateful for Wang Li's talent, otherwise he would be a corpse.

On the other hand, he has a little low self-esteem...

He was very worried again, such a genius and strange talent, wouldn't be delayed by him, right?

Wang Li, on the other hand, looked at the old horse nervously and asked, "Teacher...flying the scythe, isn't it a backlash?"

The old horse looked complicated.

He looks weak now, his pupils are trembling, and he has trouble focusing.

"Where's the scythe? How's it doing now?" he asked.

Wang Li said, "For the time being, there is no way to move."

The old horse breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed, and then he passed out in a daze.

Wang Li shook the old horse's body strangely, seeing that he was still sweating, and then touched his forehead...it was so hot!
The old horse has a high fever.

This is probably not caused by excessive blood loss, but because of the rain and cold in front!

Wang Li instantly recalled a passage in "Take Care of Your Spirit Servant": When a spirit servant is in a state of long-term starvation, it will break away from the control of the contract due to the weakening of the Master's state and then backfire.

So in the old horse's situation just now, his body was extremely weak due to his rotten life and the heavy rain... This triggered the backlash of the flying sickle.

Judging from the behavior of the flying scythe, it has actually been restraining its own instincts.

Wang Li sighed, and struggled to get the old horse back to his bed, and then covered him with a quilt.

Only then did he turn his head to face Fei Lian, who was collapsed on the ground, and sighed: "Actually, you are also a good boy... it's just that you are too hungry."

He looked for Lao Ma's spirit ring, only to find that the spirit ring had been completely broken.

Wang Li didn't dare to let the flying sickle stay outside like this. What if it regained some strength and chopped off the old horse?

He searched in the old horse's room, and finally took an empty wine bottle...

He aimed the mouth of the empty wine bottle at the flying scythe, and then cast the 'Spirit Sealing Formation'.

This 'Spirit Sealing Formation' is the basis of the demon hunter's sealing technique, and it's not very powerful.

But the target Flying Scythe was already extremely weak, so naturally he would not resist this sealing force.

The flying sickle turned into a gray mist and was sucked into the wine bottle.

Wang Li put the cork on the bottle, took it with him and walked outside.

He has a lot to do next.

First, I went to the 24-hour pharmacy to buy some antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs and other medicines, and hurried back to Lao Ma to let him take the medicines.

Then I went to the bank to cash the check I got yesterday.

20000 dragon coins were credited.

He didn't rush back to the old horse's side, but went to the branch of the Demon Hunt Council first.

He hurried to the bookstore with this large sum of cash, looking for a solution to Lao Ma's current troubles.

This search lasted all morning, and after spending 16500 dragon coins in one go, I returned to the old horse with complicated feelings.

"you're awake?"

He saw that the old horse was struggling to find a drink, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.

It seems that the old horse is much better after sweating all over. After all, he is a witcher who has undergone rigorous training in his early years, so he is in good health.

Trembling, he twisted open a wine bottle and took a sip before asking, "Where's the flying sickle?"

Wang Li took out the wine bottle hanging on his waist and said, "I sealed it here... Teacher, what are you going to do?"

He didn't bring up the topic of backlash, after all, he probably wouldn't be happy about it.

The old horse was in a daze and said: "You have already used the sealing technique well."

Wang Li: "..."

He didn't answer.

The old horse said again: "Actually, I'm sorry for Fei Lian... To be honest, A Li, I took you as an apprentice that day, maybe I was thinking that someone would collect my body one day."

"But it's fine as it is now, but I'm sorry for Fei Lian..."

This tone, as if he wanted to execute his spirit servant to death...

After all, many retired demon hunters would choose this way, execute their spirit servants, and bid farewell to the profession of demon hunters with old wounds and scarred hearts.

Wang Li quickly said: "Teacher, there is still a way to keep the flying sickle."

As he spoke, he opened a book he had just bought, and turned it to the first page, only to see a hexagram array recorded on it: the array of contract transfer!

The entire book is an analysis and commentary on this 'Contract Transfer Array', which cost Wang Li 7500 dragon coins.

The old horse was shocked when he saw this, and he said, "Are you going to transfer the contract with me?"

Wang Li nodded and said: "Only in this way can the flying sickle be saved... Besides, teacher, the relationship between the spirit attendant and the master is probably not that simple, right?"

The old horse hesitated for a while, but still refused: "No, this will be too much burden for you... You are a child with a bright future, I can't harm you."

Wang Li was a little shy, and said, "It's okay, I don't think it's a big problem to have one more flying scythe."

Old horse: "..."

He remained silent, in order to defend the last trace of his face.

And Wang Li took out other things needed for the contract transfer ceremony one by one... This time it was not a simple ceremony, and many ritual utensils were used.

These materials cost him another 9000 dragon coins.

That is, now, there are only 3500 dragon coins left on that check.

To be a witcher is to come in and spend money quickly.
