33. Velotto Mountains 3
“…who are you?”
The healer, who was examining the patient, asked with a puzzled face. Seunghyun Kang replied with a very calm face.
“As you can see, I am a healer.”
“healer?”
Healer then glared at Kang Seung-hyeon with wary eyes.
A situation where another healer snoops because one adventurer cannot be healed. This is not a pleasant situation for a healer with a strong sense of pride.
“…I appreciate your words, but I’m not so incompetent as to need help from others.”
His tone was polite, but his eyes weren’t. It was a look in his eyes that seemed to tell him to turn off immediately when he said something nice. Of course, I wouldn’t have intervened in the first place if it was going to be turned off nicely.
“You probably don’t need help, but I don’t think you are a patient there.”
Kang Seung-hyun said with a smile without changing his expression.
“Ughhhhhhhhhhh!!”
The patient was still moaning with a painful face.
“You have no business, the patient has business, so please get out of the way.”
“Well, what kind of rude person…”
“Then, can you tell me how to cure it in 10 seconds?”
“…”
Healer shut his mouth and quietly withdrew.
“I’ll check your physical condition first.”
Kang Seung-hyun examined the patient’s body. Just by examining the wound, you can tell why he was hurt.
“Are you clean without a single wound?”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was snooping around, pointed at the patient and said, The patient had been healed by the healer earlier and the wounds on his body had been healed.
“It’s because someone used a heel unnecessarily.”
“This is Won! If only he hadn’t used heal, Mr. Kang would have healed him long ago!”
“What’s wrong with using heels on the wounded!”
Healer, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was furious, but
said, “When did I say that heels were bad? I never said anything like that.”
“A while ago…”
“Healers who don’t take good care of patients and use heals are bad.”
Upon hearing Kang Seung-hyun’s words, Healer’s face turned red.
As I always say, heels aren’t bad. The problem is healers who use good abilities stupidly.
‘I’m glad the bloodstains remain. Heal only erases scars, not blood.’
There were no wounds, but there were traces of blood all over the patient’s body. Through this, it was possible to roughly guess where it was attacked and how it was injured.
‘Mainly the upper body rather than the lower body. They were mostly bitten on the arm or shoulder.’
The left arm, believed to be the most severely bitten, was covered in blood. And somehow it was very stiff.
“So, Mr. Kang? Did you find out something?”
“I’ve figured it out, but… I’ll have to take a closer look.”
You can get information just by looking at it with the naked eye, but he has the [Eye of Observation].
‘[Observation eye].’
Seunghyun Kang’s eyes shone blue. At the same time, detailed information flashed before my eyes.
[Decomposition][Infection][Paralysis][Bleeding/Bleeding]
[Bite marks all over the body]
[Beast teeth]
[There was bleeding at first, but now it is gone]
[Beast claw marks blurry around the wound It remains]
If you use the [Observation Eye], you can get information from even the slightest wound.
‘I expected the keyword to be infected with corruption, but I didn’t expect it to come out paralyzed.’
Include the teeth marks there and you will see the answer.
“It was a bite from a wild beast.”
“Beasts? That’s why it’s so bloody.”
After hearing the story, Kim Ho-jeong nodded. The information obtained through the [Observation Eye] is invisible to others.
“Then how many of them have you bitten?”
“At least 7 or more. When I see it, there are 10 of them.”
“Wow… This man survived well there.”
“And if you look at the arm here, you’ll know…”
Kang Seung-hyeon pointed at the patient’s left arm.
“You see how stiff it is? Paralysis is appearing.”
There is no such thing as paralysis of the body for no reason. This patient seems to have been attacked by something with paralysis.
“A wild beast monster that uses paralysis skills… Ah!”
Kim Ho-jeong snapped her fingers and shouted.
“Have you ever spread Velotto?”
“That is the correct answer.”
Bellotto spread. A wild dog-type monster that lives in the Veloto Mountains. Originally, it was a pet dog raised in the village, but it became wild after being abandoned in the mountains or leaving the house.
“Ha, but if it’s just a wild dog bite, there’s no way heel won’t work!”
Healer, who was listening to the story, shouted.
“It’s because it’s not just a wild dog.”
Veloto Spread belongs to the 1st priority of the eradication request. This is because they can breed with wolves to produce hybrids.
“Among the monsters in the Veloto Mountains, they are quite strong, have good fertility… and have poison.”
Their teeth are coated with paralysis poison. So, if you get bitten by a Veloto dog, your body will be paralyzed like this patient.
“But paralytic poison doesn’t cause pain this way!”
“If it was a normal paralysis poison, it would be. But the paralysis poison of Belloto Sanga is a little special.”
Seunghyun Kang looked at the patient. The patient was still moaning in pain.
“It’s good to explain, but see it with your own eyes and judge.”
Kang Seung-hyun took out a knife and cut the almost healed wound.
[Incision]
Corrupted flesh was revealed between the cut flesh. It was clearly showing that the patient was poisoned.
“What is this….”
“There is one characteristic of the poison of Veloto Sangae.”
Unlike the frightened healer, Kang Seung-hyun said with a calm face.
“Normally, only the effect of paralysis appears, but if certain conditions are met, the effect of the putrefying poison is activated.”
“Specific conditions?”
Healer shouted in disbelief.
“Perhaps when you healed, you showed only a slight paralysis and no poison.”
If I had known that, I wouldn’t have used heels at all.
Kim Ho-jeong, who was glancing at the patient, opened her mouth.
“So you’re saying the toxicity didn’t show up until now?”
“Yes.”
“What the hell are the conditions…”
“You know what Velotto’s spreader’s weakness is, right?”
“Oh you know that. Veloto Spread is weak against air-attribute attacks.”
Just as wood attribute monsters are weak to fire, Veloto Spread’s weakness is wind and air.
“Similarly, the poison of Veloto Mountain weakens when exposed to wind or air.”
“I see! The weakness of the body is also the weakness of the skill!”
“So, even if you are bitten by a Veloto wild dog, the poison will naturally dissipate if you leave it unattended.”
The paralytic venom of Belloto Sanga is so weak that it can be treated without medication. Even if the bite is not sutured and left open, the venom can be removed. To put it simply, black bilberry poison is much stronger.
“But this is only when the toxicity has weakened due to exposure to wind or air.”
The condition for Velotto’s decaying poison to activate is when there is no air or wind coming into contact with the poison. If the conditions are satisfied, the poison of Veloto Sangae exerts a strong toxicity that is incomparable to that of black lingonberry.
“But what if you don’t know how to look cool and use heels to heal wounds?”
“Once the wound heals… the air won’t reach it!”
“Exactly.”
In the end, the cause of the decaying poison was the healer’s use. Healer looked at the patient with a devastated face.
“This can’t be…”
“This wouldn’t have happened if I had just looked at the wound to see what kind of monster it was before using the heal.”
Do not immediately treat the bite of Belloto Sangae. It’s common knowledge that anyone in Hind Village knows. If only it had been discovered that the cause of the wound was Veloto’s spread, the patient would not have suffered.
“Even now, if you tear open the wound and expose it to the air…”
“There are more than one or two wounds. Would you tear the patient’s body apart?”
It would be effective if there was only one injured area, but this patient was bitten all over. It is not a situation that can be treated with first aid.
“Then what should I do…”
“If you are poisoned by poison, which is a weakness of the air attribute, you can strengthen the air attribute of your body.”
“Air attribute enhancement?”
“like this.”
[Summon Pria’s crossbow]
A crossbow was created with a black aura in Seunghyun Kang’s hand. Kang Seung-hyeon aimed the crossbow at the patient.
“What are you trying to do right now…”
“Are you crazy?”
The people around them tried to stop Kang Seung-hyun with surprised faces. It would be natural to try to shoot a crossbow at a patient.
“Kim Ho-jung, please get rid of the people.”
“okay! Stop interfering with the teacher and get out of the way!”
What is needed at this time is the strength of colleagues. Kang Seung-hyun ordered Kim Ho-jeong to stop the people who bothered him.
‘What I need in this situation is an attribute potion.’
To cure the poison of the enhanced Veloto spread, use a wind potion on the patient. You can use the [Spray] skill, but the speed is too slow.
‘To put the potion deep into various parts at high speed…’ It
is also best to shoot with a crossbow.
[Fria’s bond bag]
[Generates wind potion arrows]
‘5 consecutive wind potion arrows!’
PABABABABAAT!!
Arrows filled with the power of air poured out and pierced the patient’s body.
“You crazy bastard! Killing people in camp? Are you insane?”
A nearby adventurer shouted.
“Why do you make a normal person a deceased?”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and pointed at the patient. The patient was fine. There was not a single wound on his body from the arrow.
“Are you alive?”
More than anything else, the painful moaning was gone. The patient was exhaling with a more relaxed face.
“You shot someone with a crossbow, but you’re fine, right?”
“I even cured the poison!”
The adventurers gathered around looked at the patient and Kang Seung-hyeon alternately with disbelief on their faces. Healer, who had been watching the scene in awe, opened his mouth.
“What the hell are you doing…?”
“You said it earlier. Because he’s a healer.”
[Fria’s crossbow disappears.]
“I don’t know how to use a heel, so I wear a bandage.”
“Come to think of it… that guy… earlier…”
One of Healer’s colleagues pointed to Kang Seung-hyeon. Looking closely, it was one of the guys who were mocking me while passing by earlier.
“oh my god! Aren’t they the people who didn’t know and laughed at such a great person?”
Kim Ho-jeong secretly entered the group of adventurers and started agitation.
“is it so?”
“Is that so? They almost killed a normal person.”
Other adventurers also fell for Kim Ho-jung’s instigation and made noise.
“Yeah, I saw you getting angry earlier. Were you just staring at me?”
“Healers are usually good at keeping other healers in check.”
The adventurers around them looked at the healer and his companions. No matter how good a healer is, if he can’t heal the patient, he will quickly become a laughing stock.
“Kuh…”
“Let’s go.”
Healer and his colleagues left as if they were running away with blushing faces.
“Ah, it’s refreshing! Aren’t you also a good teacher?”
“I’m not working as a healer for this taste.”
Kim Ho-jeong sneaked back to Kang Seung-hyun’s side. One thing to really encourage is a good person.
“But isn’t that a bit strange?”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was glancing at the patient, opened her mouth.
“This person… why did you come alone? What about the other colleagues?”
“Come to think of it.”
There’s no way an ordinary adventurer would go hunting alone on a night like this. There must be other colleagues.
“Hey, where are the other colleagues?”
“Our party was attacked and scattered…”
the patient struggled to open his mouth.
“Scattered?”
“Because of the wind that suddenly jumped out of the mountain road, Bellotto spreaders…”
Not just one or two, but dozens of them. In the process, the party members scattered, and he barely survived and returned to the camp.
“Dozens of Veloto dogs?”
“Isn’t something a little strange? Even if there are many, there are too many?”
Veloto Sangae is not a monster that is crowded around so much. Usually, if there are 7 or 8, up to 10 will gather, but dozens is not common sense.
“Am I the only one here? Has anyone come yet?”
“No one came but you.”
So far, this man was the only adventurer who had returned from the north exit of the camp. Not only that, but the other adventurer party has not returned either.
“Dozens of Veloto dogs appeared, but only one returned? is this weird? Are they all dead?”
“There may not be dead people, but it doesn’t make sense to annihilate them.”
It is common for adventurers to die from being attacked by monsters. However, Veloto Spread was not a threatening monster enough to annihilate a large number of parties.
“At least a party or two should come back to be normal.”
Something must be happening north of the camp.
‘Adventurers who have passed the time to return to the rapidly increasing number of monsters, but there is no news.’
Seunghyun Kang recalled the reason.
“…That guy.”
There’s only one guy who can do this.
“What did you find out?”
“Rare monster. If it is this, the front and back are correct.”
A rare monster appeared somewhere in the mountainous area.
