50 Healing (1/2)
”Hey... Black Eagle, you should know that I'm here to save you. Regardless of what happened previously, we're even here alright...”
Although he knew that the black eagle could not understand human language, Fang Yuan was still relieved knowing that the Flower Fox Ferret could translate for him.
After saying a few words to the black eagle, he turned around and returned to the secluded valley. He came out with many bottles of medicine.
”Chirp…..”
Seeing Fang Yuan approach it, the black eagle became increasingly anxious but was comforted by the Flower Fox Ferret.
'The eagle and ferret have so much chemistry...'
Witnessing this scene, Fang Yuan took a few steps forward and began to examine its injury.
”Hiss...”
Fang Yuan was shocked. ”No wonder it's a spiritual beast. It's able to undergo self-healing, and the wounds have already begun to heal itself...”
This was good news for Fang Yuan, as it meant that he did not have to use too much of this precious ointment.
”Phew!”
Fang Yuan took out bandages and medicine, tried to make himself look harmless and approached the black eagle. He was extremely focused and concentrated his inner force on his Iron Skin Technique to protect himself.
Even with the assurance of the Flower Fox Ferret, it was still hard to tame the black eagle. Wouldn't it be risky if it suddenly took a bite at Fang Yuan while he was treating it?
”Chirp! Chirp!”
Although the black eagle looked anxious, it tried to restrain itself and did not move.
”This injury...”
Fang Yuan noticed that its wound had already stopped bleeding, but broken bones and feathers were visible. They were in a gruesome mess with broken twigs and other plant matter. This would greatly hinder its path to recovery and the eagle would no longer be able to fly.
”The most important is to clear the foreign objects from the wound and correct the bone. It's going to be extremely difficult for the eagle to do it on its own, but if I were to help it...”
Fang Yuan stroked the wings of the black eagle.
The black feathers felt metallic to the touch, and it was a weird feeling.
”I'm going to start now, try to tolerate the pain!”
Fang Yuan focused, grabbed a tree branch and plucked it.
”Whoosh!”
A bloody arrow flew towards Fang Yuan, and the black eagle uncontrollably attacked, as it prepared to peck at Fang Yuan.
”Keke!”
The Flower Fox Ferret continuously tried to calm it down, and it took a while before the black eagle begun to regain its composure.
”It seems... It's unappreciative of my efforts!”
Fang Yuan let out a long breath and extended 2 fingers out. Using his Eagle Claw Technique, he channelled his energy to his fingers, momentarily turning them akin to metal pliers. Then, He removed a piece of shattered bone using his fingers and threw it aside.
He felt enlightened after studying the wound inflicted by the Red-eyed White Birds on this strong black eagle, and he felt as though he gained a deeper understanding of the strength of the Red-eyed White King Bird.
'It seems... To defeat the king bird is no easy feat.'
As he thought to himself, his hands were quick and in no time, he cleared the wound and applied medication to it.
”Up next is to straighten the bones...”
Fang Yuan shook his head. ”Even though you are a mutated species and your rate of healing is incredibly fast, you still need to give your feathers time to regrow, and so you won't be able to fly for the time being...”
In fact, this was the greatest worry for the black eagle.
Even though it was a mutated spiritual bird, it still needed to eat to survive, and especially in large amounts to quicken the recovery process.
”Don't you worry, since I saved you now, I will take care of you all the way till you have recovered!”
Fang Yuan comforted the black eagle as his hands felt its bones. He mustered all his strength and corrected the position of the bones!
”Kacha!”
A distinct sound was heard.
The black eagle winced, flung the Flower Fox Ferret away and tried to peck Fang Yuan.
”I knew it!”
Fang Yuan laughed and was already prepared for the black eagle's reaction. He took a step back, and suddenly punched towards its head.
”Peng!”
He landed a heavy fist on the forehead of the black eagle. Its eyes rolled, and it fainted on the spot.
”That's right... Finally, you're behaving!”
Fang Yuan wiped his hands. ”I should have made you faint from the beginning!”
”Keke...”
The Flower Fox Ferret was watching at the side, full of pity for the black eagle.
”It's done!”
After dealing with the black eagle, Fang Yuan told the Flower Fox Ferret, ”Up next, we shall set up a campsite here, and deliver food here once in a few days, and there should be no problem...”
However, his expression suddenly changed.
He noticed that the 'Skill' portion of his stats window had changed.
The digit '2' behind [Medicine (Level 2)] became blurred, jumped and transformed to '3'!
'[Medicine (Level 3)]? I have finally broken through!'
Fang Yuan was pleasantly surprised. 'Healing this spiritual beast was a blessing in disguise...'
He looked at the description for [Medicine (Level 3)]:
”[Medicine (Level 3)] - You are a professional within experts, a doctor who can make miracles. Will have a multiplied effect when dealing with complicated medical conditions! (Effect does not only apply to humans)”
”Does not only apply to humans...”
