Chapter 127 – The Wound (2/2)

Looking around, Shao Xuan did not find Caesar. There was a wolf with spotted patterns next to the giant bear, whose neck had been bitten by the giant bear.

The head wolf looked reluctant to give up and still roared towards the giant bear, exposing its fangs. The giant bear was irritated, the wolves who lived here before didn’t dare to provoke it in its territory. It was annoyed by the hunting group which hunted in its territory, but each time, it failed to catch any of them. This time it only found several strange wolves.

Roaring again, the giant bear vented its anger.

The situation was bad for the head wolf, so it had to give up chasing, and turned around to run away. The other three hastened to keep up with the bear.

The giant bear, with its four limbs on the ground, chased the head wolf immediately. Shao Xuan knew its temper, and guessed it would probably chase the head wolf for a while before it came back.

After the wolves and giant bear left, Shao Xuan jumped from the tree to carefully identify the smell in the air.

There were some animals killed by the giant bear, and the smell of blood was so strong that some scavengers were poised to act.

Shao Xuan looked around and then shifted to his other vision. The surrounding green grass and trees disappeared. All he could see were the shadows of trees, stones, as well as some animal skeletons.

Fixing his eyes on one place, Shao Xuan walked over there quickly.

Shifting to his normal vision, Shao Xuan walked in front of some plants with huge leaves. Under some overlapping large leaves, some blood flowed out.

Pushing aside the leaves, Shao Xuan saw Caesar lying under the leaves.

Caesar was in a bad situation. With his special sight, Shao Xuan found that he had several bone fractures. In addition to the fractures, he had some bites, two of which were deep, where large pieces of meat was bitten off so the blood kept flowing out.

Some blood was flowing out of his mouth, so his internal organs might also be damaged.

Shao Xuan at once took out the herbal package which contained some herb powders. He sprinkled the powder on Caesar’s wounds.

The powder was soon soaked by his blood.

Doing this still wouldn’t save him. If it had been in his former life, he would have taken him to get first aid. But now in such a place, Shao Xuan could do nothing more to save him with his limited herbs.

Caesar would soon take his last breath if Shao Xuan failed to do something more to save him. He felt that it became difficult for Caesar to breathe.

Aware of Shao Xuan’s arrival, Caesar opened his eyes and intended to rise, but Shao Xuan quickly stopped him.

“Hey buddy, don’t move. You’ll worsen the injuries.”

A minor move sped up the flow of his blood, which dripped to the ground with the powder.

Hearing Shao Xuan’s words, Caesar stopped struggling to get up, and layed on the ground. He moved his head to touch Shao Xuan’s hand with his nose, humming.

“Ssh, don’t cry.” Shao Xuan gently touched Caesar’s head.

Although Caesar didn’t cry, Shao Xuan could see sorrow from his eyes, probably because he knew he was in a bad condition.

Their waiting didn’t help.

Could he bring Caesar back to the cave? It was impossible.

Because Caesar got injured so severely that he wouldn’t withstand the shocks along the way. What’s worse, it would take such a long time and he might die on the way.

Looking around, Shao Xuan took out another herbal package which wasn’t for external application. He put the herbal leaves in Caesar’s mouth, but Caesar was too weak to chew.

Shao Xuan, without delay, smashed the herbs with the knife’s back and poured it into the water gourd. Then he mixed it with water to pour it into Caesar’s mouth. He did not know whether the herb would work but he had to try.

After feeding the herb to Caesar, Shao Xuan touched Caesar’s head, and said, “Hold on, buddy. I’ll be back.”

He put down the big leaves to hide Caesar, so that those scavengers would not notice him as there was still much food left by the giant bear.

Shao Xuan picked up a few sticks and rattan grass to make a simple stretcher nearby, and then came back to put Caesar on it. He carried the stretcher and left.

There was a very large tree nearby, and Shao Xuan planned to put Caesar on the tree first. The giant bear would soon come back, so they couldn’t stay there for a long time. In addition, it gradually became dark, so the tree might be a relatively safe place for them.

Shao Xuan found a long strong rattan to tie the stretcher. Then he stood on a branch to pull the other end of the rattan over the top of another branch in order to draw Caesar up to the tree.

When Shao Xuan pulled Caesar up, the giant bear returned after chasing the wolves and saw a group of scavengers eating its prey. The giant bear roared angrily and rushed over to tear some beasts into pieces. The rest left instantly.
