บท 7: Check the System Manual
บรรณาธิการ: EndlessFantasy Translation
How could Ye Yun not be excited about missions when completing one had just helped him break through to the Growth stage?
Once he had calmed down, he immediately checked his body.
Hmm? Even though the extent, thickness, and strength of his roots had increased, the parts aboveground, like his blade, had not changed. The only difference, if he had to find one, was that his being had become more tenacious.
Even so, Ye Yun was already very happy.
After using his Divine Sense to observe his own body, Ye Yun said, "Check the system manual."
While Ye Yun was seriously browsing through the contents of the system manual, the village chief and the others had also been busy removing the arrow in Huang Shoushan's body. After a long while, they succeeded and the bloody hole quickly recovered.
The villagers at the side were stunned speechless by what they had just witnessed.
The entire village fell unusually silent except for the cries of Little Purple.
——
The sun slowly set and its many-hued scarlet rays dyed half of the sky in a gorgeous sunset. The villagers were still in disbelief after Huang Shoushan's miraculous recovery.
Shi Hao, on the other hand, had been oblivious to everything that had happened. He was still praying by the willow tree, hoping that Huang Shoushan's injuries would quickly heal.
Fifteen minutes passed and the silence had graduated in hushed murmurs.
"Is there something wrong with my eyes... F*ck... How is his wound gone?!" Huang Feijiao narrowed his eyes and continuously checked out Huang Shoushan's healed injuries. His face was filled with disbelief.
"Village Chief, you have hidden your abilities quite well. You did this, right?" Huang Linhu scratched his head in confusion, slightly stunned.
The villagers did not see the specks of green light as the cause of Huang Shoushan's miraculous recovery, but rather the act of the village head removing the arrow. The specks of green light, miraculous healing, and arrow removal had all happened at the same time.
"Could it be that Village Chief recently comprehended another rune from the Bone Text? And it's related to healing?" asked Huang Feijiao in shock.
In the Great Wasteland, no one was afraid of fighting. They were only afraid of being heavily injured after the battle and having a hard time healing. Dying directly from a fight was fine. But dying from a festered wound was never ideal for anyone.
Those injured from fights and had little chance of recovery would request family members or close ones to end their suffering for them.
But if there was a way to learn and practice such an amazing healing method, wouldn't they be able to heal their wounds in a blink of an eye and avoid the torture of slow death?
Despite the eager looks on the villagers' faces for the village chief to affirm their suspicions, the village chief simply sighed and thought, 'I didn't do it and I'm not sure what just happened. Maybe Huang Shoushan had received a second chance at life."
Huang Shoushan slowly stood up and looked at his now-healed injury with disbelief.
The skin there was white and smooth as if nothing had ever happened to him!
Now, everyone's gazes had turned to Huang Shoushan and the latter decided to say something.
"Village Chief, it wasn't me. You can send me to hunt and fight, but I really don't know anything about healing methods. Besides, you know that I've been injured before and had never recovered like this."
The village chief turned to look at the others, making them feel compelled to speak up as well.
"Village Chief, we've been together for so long. Surely you know my abilities by now. Even if my mother gave birth to me again, I still have no way to master such healing abilities."
"Don't look at me, Village Chief. I only know how to hunt."
"Village Chief, I only know how to eat. I don't have any abilities."
Wrinkles started to form on the village chief's face as he frowned. "That was not what I was going to ask you. I just want to know the entire story of what happened earlier. The more details you have, the better.
"What exactly happened when you went out to hunt today? How did you return injured? Who did you meet?" asked the village chief.
Huang Linhu was immediately reminded of what had happened in the forest and his face became filled with anger. He quickly spoke up and relayed what had happened.
"Our hunt had been going well today. We had caught quite a lot. We even hunted a beast that had its ancestral inheritance awakened. Who knew that on the way back, we would meet and get attacked by people from other villages."
The more he spoke, the more Huang Linhu was able to vent his anger.
"F*ck, what a bunch of bandits! We had always minded our own business living in the Great Wastelands. Why would they would be so unreasonable?"
When the village chief heard this, he became confused. Even though Huang Shoushan was not the strongest person in the village, his strength was not something to be underestimated. How could he have been injured this badly? Could it be that they used ancestral artifacts?
The village chief solemnly looked at the arrow he had taken out of Huang Shoushan's body but he didn't notice anything strange about it.
"How arrogant of our attackers. They must have someone backing them up. Who made the first move? Did you see them?"
"Yes, the arrow was shot by a young boy dressed in the clothing of another village."
"A young boy?! Are you sure that a young boy's ability is this good?" The village chief frowned even more when he heard this.
One of the other villages must have been able to nurture an intelligent child.
"Yes, that was the person who shot the first arrow. He looked quite young but his attacks were vicious. Still, when it comes to real talent, our little guy is the best."
And yet, despite the discussions, no one was able to figure out how Huang Shoushan's injury had recovered so quickly and well.
Now that someone had mentioned Shi Hao, the village chief turned around to look for him, only to find the child praying by the willow tree.
'Could it be that this child, Shi Hao, has learned more of the energy of the Bone Text and had unintentionally healed Huang Shoushan?'
The village chief immediately called out to Shi Hao and waved for him to come over. "Shi Hao, come here. Grandpa wants to ask you some questions."
Shi Hao heard the village chief, who is also his grandfather, loud and clear. He immediately stood up, patted the dirt off his clothes, and ran to the village chief's side.
"Village Chief, what did you call me for? How is Uncle Shoushan?" asked Shi Hao while glancing at Huang Shoushan's chest.
"Woah! Grandpa, you're amazing! Uncle Shoushan's injury has been cured!"
Shi Hao was shocked to find that his grandfather, the village chief, had already healed Huang Shoushan.
When Huang Feijiao heard this, he burst out laughing, "No, Shoushan wasn't treated by your grandpa. But we don't know who did and we're all equally as puzzled."
"Shi Hao, tell me, did you learn some Bone Text related to healing during this period of time?" asked the village chief as he crouched down to Shi Hao's eye level and held the child's hand gently.
Shi Hao shook his head. "I have been studying the symbols on Little Purple's body this whole time." As he spoke, Shi Hao showed his palm and a weak light appeared. As he flipped his hand, the light surged towards a rock a few kilometers away.
And with a bang, that rock immediately exploded! There was dust flying everywhere.
Clearly, this child had not been involved with learning any healing abilities.
If he did, the others who had been wounded would have healed already.
"Alright, since we still haven't figured this out yet, why don't we just let Shoushan be and not do anything yet? We'll observe Shoushan's injuries. Perhaps Shoushan himself has the ability to heal, but he doesn't know it yet." Huang Linhu started speaking as if he had a sudden revelation.
"Are you really a tiger as your name says? How can you come up with such a bad idea? Why don't you injure yourself and let the village chief heal you? That way, we can prove that it's the village chief that has the healing ability." Huang Feijiao could not help but pat the head of Huang Shoushan as he replied sarcastically at Huang Linhu.
