Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 279: The Bear Beast Worth Twenty Points
After Lu Ke sprayed some disinfectant on Xu Yi’s wound, she followed up with a pain-relief spray.
Once sprayed, Xu Yi felt his pain reduced by more than half.
However, his muscles were also injured, so it still hurt considerably.
He got up and twisted his waist a bit to confirm that his bones were not hurt, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The Fierce Beast was still struggling and wailing in agony.
Having lost an arm and a leg, only it could comprehend such pain.
Due to increasing blood loss, the Fierce Beast was growing weaker.
"Xu Yi..." Lu Ke suddenly called out.
Because a few tigers had appeared and were gradually approaching.
"My unlucky mouth really did it this time. Let’s go, leave immediately," Xu Yi said, grabbing a knife and charging toward the Fierce Beast that still couldn’t lift its head.
With one stroke, he cleaved the Fierce Beast’s head open; he couldn’t pass up those points.
"Kill one Bear Beast, gain 20 points."
Bear Beast?
points?
Not bad at all, it’s worth the effort.
Xu Yi quickly ran forward, and along with Lu Ke, swiftly left the scene.
No tigers followed behind them.
The Bear Beast was enough food for them, so there was no need to risk attacking Xu Yi and Lu Ke.
Lu Ke carried a basket on her back, with another basket belonging to Xu Yi in her hand.
Inside were the Bear Beast’s hind leg and foreleg, which Lu Ke picked up and put into the basket when Xu Yi was cutting the Bear Beast’s neck.
"Xu Yi, how are you doing, are you okay, do you want me to carry you back?" Lu Ke asked with concern, given her great strength now, carrying Xu Yi back wouldn’t be an issue.
"No need, I’m fine, just a minor flesh wound, it doesn’t affect my movement." Xu Yi waved his hand, indicating he was okay.
Pain, there definitely was some, having lost four chunks of flesh and with muscle damage. Not injuring the bones was a blessing.
Seeing Xu Yi say this, Lu Ke didn’t press further.
The two of them headed towards the camp, without encountering any other dangers on the way, and returned to camp safely after more than two hours.
Upon returning, the Giant Wolf became somewhat uneasy.
It seemed it was particularly sensitive to the Bear Beast’s scent.
Xu Yi was not in the mood to care about these matters, and upon returning, he went upstairs and lay down on the bed to rest.
It was still early, just after four o’clock.
Lu Ke started handling the Bear Beast’s leg, which still had a lot of lean meat, suitable for making stew.
After finishing, Lu Ke chopped up a portion for stew, then boiled some potatoes.
While tending the fire, Lu Ke continued making pottery, staying busy without a moment’s rest.
At six o’clock, Lu Ke went upstairs to check on Xu Yi and found him asleep on his stomach.
Not wanting to disturb Xu Yi, Lu Ke quietly returned downstairs.
"Do you think Xu Yi is okay?" Su Yan asked worriedly, her brow furrowed.
According to her judgment, being hit by such a giant Bear Beast could very likely cause a fracture or even internal organ damage.
Xu Yi had been upstairs for so long without coming down, how could she not be worried?
"I think he should be fine. Lu Ke seems calm, and she’s already preparing to eat dinner by herself. Xu Yi is probably just tired and fell asleep. After all, he was in intense activity for over an hour to escape the Fierce Beast," Yun Qing believed Xu Yi was okay; if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to walk back to the camp by himself.
"But Lu Ke isn’t a doctor. She even lacks basic knowledge; she might not know if Xu Yi is merely asleep or unconscious." Su Yan was still unsettled.
"Sister Yan, don’t worry, Xu Yi is as strong as an ox. That hit couldn’t have hurt him. Once he wakes up, he’ll be full of life again," Yun Qing believed Su Yan was overly worried and lacked confidence in Xu Yi.
Lu Ke indeed wasn’t a doctor and was short on medical knowledge. However, she should still be able to discern whether Xu Yi’s condition was critical.
"All we can do now is wait for Xu Yi to wake up and hope nothing bad happens," Su Yan said, realizing there was nothing more she could do but wait.
"Sister Yan, you seem quite concerned about Xu Yi now, could it be that you’ve developed feelings for him?" Yun Qing asked with a hint of curiosity, noticing that Su Yan’s concern for Xu Yi seemed more emotional rather than the mere professional concern she showed in the past.
Could it be that she really had developed feelings for Xu Yi?
But didn’t she always say she never liked anyone younger than her?
"What do you mean by having feelings for him? And how can you joke at a time like this? Aren’t you worried if Xu Yi has internal injuries?" Su Yan glared at Yun Qing, feeling that she didn’t care enough about Xu Yi.
"It’s because you care too much, I think Xu Yi is fine. He returned to the camp by himself, and he didn’t seem to be in pain on the way back," Yun Qing expressed her thoughts. To her, it seemed that Xu Yi only suffered muscle and skin injuries, nothing to be worried about.
She cared about Xu Yi and felt heartfelt concern.
However, Xu Yi was on another planet, countless light years away. Besides praying silently, there wasn’t much else they could do.
"..." Su Yan looked at Yun Qing speechlessly, feeling she underestimated the Bear Beast’s attack.
Moreover, infection was also a very dangerous issue.
Xu Yi’s wounds hadn’t been fully treated, only covered with some pain relief.
In the video, after Lu Ke served herself a bowl of meat soup, she left the rest near the fire to keep warm.
After dinner, Lu Ke continued making pottery, without any intention of waking Xu Yi.
Around eight o’clock, Xu Yi came downstairs on his own.
People in the live stream who were worried about Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief right away.
After all, it wasn’t just Su Yan and Yun Qing who were concerned about Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, you’re awake. How are you feeling, any better?" Lu Ke quickly put down the clay in her hands and asked with concern.
"Not bad, I think I need to spray some more painkiller," said Xu Yi as he walked up to Lu Ke.
His back was still searing with pain.
Lu Ke nodded, lifted Xu Yi’s fur coat, and saw his back was bruised all over.
"Xu Yi, your back is covered in bruises, are you sure you’re okay?" Lu Ke asked with a frown, feeling terribly sorry.
"I’m fine, bruises are normal, it’d be strange if they weren’t there. It’s just muscle damage, after a good night’s sleep, I’ll be fine," Xu Yi reassured, for muscle damage is like that; as long as the bones are untouched, it’s not a big deal.
Lu Ke sprayed some medicine on, and Xu Yi felt a coolness on his back, with the pain subsiding a bit.
Then, Lu Ke brought up Xu Yi’s dinner for him.
After dinner, Xu Yi went back to lie down.
Lu Ke said his wound had started to scab, so he didn’t need to lie on his stomach anymore.
Not long after lying down, Xu Yi drifted off to sleep again.
Halfway through his sleep, Xu Yi was awakened by a noise, and he immediately got up to see what it was.
