Chapter 50 - 50 49 The Little Green Monster50: Chapter 49: The Little Green Monster 50: Chapter 49: The Little Green Monster “Eh?

Why is Mu Ying in such a hurry?”

Someone caught sight of Mu Ying’s swiftly passing figure and exclaimed in surprise, recalling that the girl usually appeared serene and composed, unhurried in everything she did except when engaging in battle when she would become as decisive and rapid as a thunderbolt.

“Could something have happened?”

A few people glanced at each other and followed her.

As they walked, they began to feel that something was off—the main gate of the territory didn’t seem to be in this direction?

“She’s stopped!”

“What’s she doing here?”

“Look quick, what’s that thing!”

They saw a humanoid creature standing outside the low walls of the territory, barely taller than the walls themselves.

Pointy ears, red eyes, a hooked nose, green skin, short stature, robust limbs—its appearance was extremely incongruous.

Clad in drab leather clothing, it held a wooden, small round shield in one hand and a nail head hammer in the other, and its chunks of solid muscle made it look like it was not to be messed with.

“What’s this little green-skinned monster?”

“...”

Mu Ying also wanted to know; it seemed much smarter than a zombie.

When she ran over here, she had seen it fiercely smashing the wall.

But as she approached, it quickly receded.

When the others arrived, it moved back even further, its red eyes full of wariness.

Suddenly, a piercing scream erupted from somewhere, causing its pointy ears to twitch.

Then it darted into the distant shrubbery and quickly disappeared from sight.

Mu Ying frowned, sensing something odd—it looked as though it had been called away?

After a moment’s thought, she looked up at the family of sparrows atop the tree canopy and chirped, “Chirp chirp!”

Upon hearing the “secret signal,” the sparrows landed on her in perfect harmony.

Long-term cooperation had built a good friendship between them and Mu Ying.

Before it had rained, a pair of adult sparrows had brought their family to nest on the tree at her house, and these days, Mu Ying often fed them, causing the little sparrows to plump up quite a bit.

Responding to her call, the little sparrows busied themselves finding places to perch on her body.

One cheeky, chubby sparrow landed on the back of Mu Ying’s outstretched hand, usurping the spot reserved for Sparrow Mother, only to be pecked away by Sparrow Father, who settled on her wrist.

Sparrow Mother was much smarter than the little sparrows and was Mu Ying’s main partner for communication.

Mu Ying employed animal conversation to send her to scout out where that particularly short, green-skinned, two-legged beast had gone.

Having received the task, Sparrow Mother chirped and chirped at her brood for a while before leading the way out of the territory; the Territory Shield had no effect on these harmless little animals.

“Mu Ying, what did you say to the sparrows?”

Someone curiously asked.

They had been in the camp for quite some time and had seen Mu Ying with this group of sparrows more than once.

They had also inquired about the Druid’s abilities and could tell Mu Ying must have used animal conversation—but were unable to hear this mental exchange.

“I asked them to check where that little green-skinned monster went,” Mu Ying replied as she turned to head towards the main gate of the territory.

Today is a rare sunny day, and quite a few people must have gone out to fight zombies this morning.

Since the camp is protected by the Territory Shield, and the trees also block the view, many people aren’t aware of what’s happening for a while, but those who left the territory should see it clearly.

Sure enough, after waiting at the entrance of the territory for a while, we saw people running back in panic.

“Priest, Priest!

Save our captain!”

Hearing the cry for help, Mu Ying calmly pressed her hand on the Storage Pouch, transferring a small bag of medicine powder to her pocket without drawing attention.

As soon as a few people entered the territory, Mu Ying approached to inquire about the situation.

“We encountered a group of goblins.

The captain’s leg is injured, and we can’t stop the bleeding!” Lu You quickly explained, making way for Mu Ying to examine him, knowing that even the Priest from the mountaineering team said that Mu Ying’s Healing Magic was stronger than hers.

Huo Shaobai, lying on a makeshift stretcher, was as pale as death, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

His left leg was twisted unnaturally, with cloth bandages that were entirely soaked with blood.

Mu Ying didn’t ask what goblins were at the moment, focusing on the wound with furrowed brows.

Although the Healing Truth could heal injuries, it couldn’t set bones.

“He has a fracture.

We need to set the bone before healing!”

“Laoqi knows how to do that, but setting the bone will need your help to stop the bleeding, as the wound is rather large!”

Mu Ying nodded.

Although she wasn’t in the best condition, her Mana Value was only enough for one more Healing Truth, but she also had Hemostatic Powder made from Asparagus root, which should be sufficient for stopping the bleeding.

The group set the stretcher down, and Laoqi, Guo Xiao, stepped forward to unravel the blood-soaked bandages.

After he set the bone, Mu Ying immediately placed her hand on the affected area and cast Healing Truth.

Since her last level up, the effect of the Healing Truth had also increased, but one spell could only slightly repair his bone.

The flesh part was still a bit lacking.

“The bleeding hasn’t stopped yet, why did you stop?” Laowu asked anxiously.

Mu Ying took out the small paper bag she had placed in her pocket.

“I was practicing spells before you returned.

I’ve run out of Mana.

This is Hemostatic Powder I made.

I’ve tested it myself; the effect is quite good.

Do you want to try it?”

The medicine powder was made from dried Asparagus roots.

Although its effect wasn’t as immediate as Healing Magic, it was adequate for emergency hemostasis.

Moreover, the batch she had on hand had been soaked in Recovery Spring overnight, enhancing the hemostatic effect even more.

“Use it,” said Huo Shaobai, feeling slightly better.

His leg was now movable, and his Life Value had recovered quite a bit.

Although the bleeding hadn’t stopped and his Life Value was still dropping, it was much slower than before.

Mu Ying carefully opened a corner of the powder bag.

“It might sting a little.

Just bear with it.”

Once he nodded, Mu Ying sprinkled a thin layer of Hemostatic Powder on the wound.

He endured the pain without flinching.

“This Hemostatic Powder is made from the Asparagus’s dried roots.

After mutation, the Asparagus roots can stop bleeding.

There are some in the camp, but you can’t dig too many from each one.

There is also a lot on the mountain at the entrance to Forest Park.

You could gather some for future use, or you could dig some up and plant them on the Tree House platform.”

Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Mu Ying let Guo Xiao dress the wound.

She also mentioned the Asparagus roots, considering that in the territory there was only Liu Luoluo as a Priest, and often she would be out with a team, not always available when needed.

Now after acquiring Mutant Plants, they could get Shom to clarify the effects and uses of plants.

She didn’t need to keep the plant information she learned from Identifying Plants hidden anymore.

Previously, shortly after everyone planted vegetables together, Mu Ying quietly modified the territory’s rules to include the plants within the territory, not just trees.

However, the protection for non-tree plants wasn’t as strict.

It was allowed to harvest plants, and incidentally damaging a few wouldn’t be a big issue.

Only significant destruction was considered a rule violation.

“What about those Asparagus with changed flower colors?”

Guo Xiao had studied some traditional Chinese medicine.

Asparagus didn’t have hemostatic properties, but the medicine powder Mu Ying presented was solid proof.

He sighed helplessly, suspecting that his knowledge of herbal medicine was probably outdated.

“Not just the flower color has changed.

The entire Asparagus plant is now valuable.

The leaves can withstand trampling, the flowers glow at night, the fruits can be eaten, the roots can stop bleeding, and they are also easy to grow,” said Mu Ying, who liked the plant even more the closer she looked at it.

It was truly rare to find such an aesthetically pleasing and useful plant.

Hearing what Mu Ying said, the rest of the people looked at the camp’s Asparagus with a different eye.

Harvesting roots would harm the plant, and due to the rules of the territory, they couldn’t take too much from the ones inside, but there was an abundance of Asparagus on the mountain outside.

Plus, picking the fruits to eat wouldn’t be considered destroying the plant once the Asparagus bore fruit.
