15 Guardian Spirit or Dangerous Beast? (2/2)

The others following Gregory's lead also kowtow with a ”We beg you.”

Joe sighed and glanced at the bush.

”Alright she's here send them off would you?” John shook a branch as if shooing them away.

The demonic bull could only roll his eyes with contempt. Yet, how long would these weaklings sit here if he did nothing? ”Roar.” His power soared and the people here found it hard to breath as demonic energy flew around. Before they could even understand what was going on they were flung by an unseen force down the hill.

”Anna!” Franklin tried to grab her as he was flung back but it was too late. He tumbled down the hill with the rest of them.

Joe glanced at the plant as if to say see they fell down the hill too.

”Ha, fine if you want to compare them to you go ahead.” John laughed fluttering his leaves. Joe frowned but chose to ignore the plant and take a nap.

Down below the villagers were panicking running to and fro preparing to flee. However after a few hours with no rampage they had begun to calm down. Arron attempted to climb back up a few time only to be sent back down.

Franklin tried to go back to sleep to see if he could get help but found himself unable to given the situation. He'd worried he'd let his imagination go wild. Sweat covered his body as he could only stare at the hill.

”Alright let's see what I can do.” The bush pondered examining the woman with his energy. He never had any medical training so resetting bones was impossible.

However, he did have a fair amount of control over energy. Any cultivator could use energy to stimulate the life of themselves and others. This was truly just a stimulation of the bodies natural healing abilities. Normal healing uses a great deal of life force. So an injured person may lose their life before the healing was complete. However, by using his energy instead of the person's life force to fuel the healing, it wouldn't be a problem to save this woman's life.

In fact, he'd heard that a truly powerful chosen of heaven could be nearly unkillable. As long as the brain remained they would just regenerate a body. Above that, there were even rumors of those that no longer had any connection to the flesh. Though that was a stage he couldn't even imagine.

As the daylight faded Anna's eyes opened with a jolt. The pain had lessened greatly. She no longer felt weak. What had happened? Where is she?

Looking around she saw a lazily eating bull and a small bush. She then looked down and saw the small shacks below. ”I'm on the hill?” She asked no one in particular and no one answered her.

As Anna moved her right arm, she winced in pain. The bones were not set correctly, so it was painful to use. It was intact though. Normally the damage would require amputation, she sighed with admiration.

”I don't know who helped me.” She said bowing deeply towards the bull and bush before continuing. ”Thank you.” She waited a bit to see if anyone would answer. However, all she heard was the chewing of Joe and ruffling of leaves.

Seeing no one would see her off, she turned to leave saying ”If there is nothing else. I'll return home.”
