Chapter 101 The Pain of a Severed Arm, Severe Injury and Near Death
However, the skeletons were not deterred. Under the silent command of the Ark, they skillfully avoided the wolf riders' charge by utilizing the complex terrain of the hills.
Whenever the dire wolf approached, the skeletons would grab the gnoll's leg with astonishing speed and strength, pulling him off the dire wolf's back.
The gnoll cavalry, now without their mounts, were thrown into chaos.
Faced with the skeletons' ruthless and efficient attacks, their weapons were like hitting solid rock, futile and ineffective.
Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, the gnoll warlock, who was hiding in the back, raised his staff and chanted an obscure incantation.
A ball of intense fire gathered at the tip of the staff, instantly transforming into a fiery red meteor that hurtled straight towards the skull formation.
However, Ark had already foreseen this scenario.
He calmly raised his staff, and a shield of bones rose up, blocking the fireball.
Egg!
As luck would have it, the effect of Bone Shield reflecting spell damage with a certain probability was triggered this time.
The fireball returned along its original path, reflecting back towards the gnoll earth caster.
Caught off guard, the gnoll warlock could only escape by leaping over wolves.
The dire wolf under its wing was caught in the flames and instantly burned to a crisp.
It itself was also seriously injured, and the wolf and fox were in dire straits.
Taking advantage of the warlock's distraction, Ark unleashed another double skeletal attack.
Skeletal Garg!
Bone Spears!
The gnoll warlock, severely wounded and lying on the ground, wailing in agony, had no time to react and was instantly killed by the incredibly sharp bone spears.
Subsequently, in order to end the battle quickly, Ark unleashed the [Mass Brutality] spell.
Streaks of dark green light surged from the tip of his staff, wrapping around the skeletons like tentacles of death, making their bones harder and their attacks more powerful.
The skeletons seized the opportunity to launch a general attack.
They were like a horde of merciless death gods, striking each gnoll precisely at its vital points.
The dire wolves cried out in agony, and the gnolls fell to the ground one after another, creating an extremely tragic scene.
The battle lasted only a short while, and the once-fierce wolf riders were now reduced to a scene of utter devastation.
The bodies of the dire wolves lay intertwined with those of the fallen jackals, their blood staining the gravel.
Those two once-arrogant gnoll warriors, too, were defeated by the combined attack of the skeletons and the Ark.
They followed in the footsteps of the gnoll warlocks.
The 40 skeletons remained standing on the battlefield, without a single casualty.
Hunting points +40.
"Soul Power +1".
Leaving 10 skeletons behind to clean up the battlefield, the Ark arrived at the ravine where the shield was shimmering with a faint light.
At this point, the student who called for help was nearly unconscious.
Fang Zhou looked at her injuries, his expression grave.
The other wounds were all fine, but the most serious problem was that her left arm was severed at the root, and the severed arm had disappeared.
Presumably due to excessive blood loss, she remained in a semi-conscious state inside the shield after sending out the distress signal.
This shielded ark cannot be opened either.
While the student still had a sliver of consciousness, he placed the first-aid capsules and hemostatic drugs he had prepared outside the shield.
After thinking for a moment, he took the [Regeneration Amulet] he had seized from the Ice Troll and placed it next to the medicine.
The female student gave Fang Zhou an incredibly grateful look, then shifted her body and managed to put the items into the shield.
She barely managed to take the medicine and accept the [Regeneration Amulet], but then she couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a coma.
Fangzhou could only stand by and hope that the rescue instructors would arrive soon.
Although many skeletons and monsters had already been killed, this was the first time the Ark had seen a severely wounded and dying human.
Moreover, this person was his classmate.
Fangzhou felt a little uneasy.
After administering emergency capsules and applying hemostatic medicine, and given that this female student was a combatant with high physical attributes, [further details needed].
It can also activate the [Regeneration Amulet], so her injuries should not worsen.
However, her lost arm is a big problem.
If the severed arm can be found nearby, that's good; a priest can treat it and it will recover.
But if it can't be found, then the priest can't help her regenerate her severed limbs.
In the future, he may have no choice but to get mechanical prosthetics, like many instructors in military academies.
This is an incredibly heavy blow to an outstanding combat officer with the potential to become a military academy graduate.
While guarding the student, Fangzhou directed the skeletons to dig deep in the surrounding area, searching for any possible traces of the severed limb.
Unfortunately, apart from a backpack, nothing else was found.
Fang Zhou casually rummaged through the backpack, which was full of monster materials and marching supplies. These were probably things the student had to discard to lighten his load when facing the jackal-like hordes of monsters.
As the thunder subsided and the rain gradually stopped, the hunting recorder finally received a signal.
Fangzhou immediately pressed the emergency distress button.
His location information was instantly sent to the command center of the underground fortress.
Inside the fortress.
One of the instructors in charge of monitoring excitedly reported, "Found it!"
Student number 1, Fangzhou, has just sent a distress message.
He encountered Shen Ziwei, student number 100, who was critically injured and on the verge of death. Her current coordinates are in the Frozen Wasteland (16, 25, 37).
Lu Hu stood up, looked at the map, and said with a serious expression, "Immediately notify Instructor Wang Tao who is nearby and have him get to this coordinate as quickly as possible."
A female instructor said with a worried look, "This thunderstorm has caused us to waste too much time. Hopefully, we can still make it in time."
The supervising instructor said, "There shouldn't be any problem."
Fang Zhou said he had given Shen Ziwei emergency capsules and hemostatic drugs.
The injuries have stabilized for now.
The female instructor breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully, "Fortunately, the Ark was nearby and arrived in time."
If something happens to Ziwei, I don't know what Instructor Hongyu will do.
Lu Hu was taken aback and asked, "What is Shen Ziwei's relationship with Instructor Shen Hongyu?"
The female instructor replied, "Ziwei is a war orphan adopted by Instructor Hongyu."
Although she wasn't his biological daughter, Instructor Hongyu always treated her as her own.
Especially after Instructor Hongyu was seriously injured and forced to retire, her life revolved around Shen Ziwei.
At this moment, the supervising instructor said in a heavy tone, "Fang Zhou sent a message that Shen Ziwei's left arm was bitten off by a demon."
Their whereabouts are currently unknown.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, all the instructors looked quite displeased.
Inside the command center, the atmosphere that had finally eased up suddenly plummeted to freezing point again.
During the mythological era, in the process of studying professional awakeners, humanity discovered that the cultivation speed and combat strength of awakened professionals are essentially determined by two factors.
The first element is the soul.
It determines the upper limit of a professional's career.
The stronger the soul, the greater the potential, the faster the cultivation speed, and the higher the combat power.
The second element is the physical body.
It determines the lower limit of a professional's career.
Only those with a complete and flawless physical body can fully unleash their potential and strength.
The most important part of the physical body is the skeleton!
Other flesh, internal organs, and other parts of the body can be repaired with various medicines or skills if they are injured.
However, if the bones are damaged, even a priest can only patch them up, but cannot create a bone exactly the same as the original from scratch.
If we compare a professional to a ship, then the physical body is the hull, the skeleton is the keel, and the soul is the oars.
If a professional loses part of their skeleton, it's like the keel of a ship breaking off.
Both cultivation speed and combat power will be greatly affected, and may even stagnate or decline significantly.
