Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 272 Treatment

【Rainbow Seiya】!

But it wasn't just one; it was dozens of fine, yet incredibly condensed, silver-white light threads that shot towards the forefront of the pursuing snake horde like a torrential rain!

The goal is not to kill them. These venomous snakes are resilient and their scales provide some protection, making it difficult to kill them with a single, hasty strike.

Rowling's choice is interference and lag!

Puff puff puff!

The silvery-white light rays accurately shot into the ground or rock face in front of the snakes, or hit the eyes, mouths, or other vulnerable parts of some venomous snakes!

Although the damage was not significant, the sudden stinging and energy interference threw the charging snake swarm into brief chaos once again, with several of the leading snakes even tangling and colliding with each other.

"Walk!"

Luo Lin gave a low shout, maintaining the blocking effect of [Starflow Water Field], while simultaneously making a gesture with one hand, a gentle stream of air carrying the two dying Rainbow Feather Sparrows quickly retreated out of the canyon!

Ellie followed closely behind.

The two men, carrying the two wounded birds, quickly retreated from the canyon entrance and rushed towards a steep but climbable rock wall without looking back!

Behind them, the snakes hissed angrily and unwillingly, but seemingly constrained by some kind of territory or wary of the open area outside, they did not chase after them out of the canyon. Instead, they gathered and slithered around the entrance, emitting threatening hisses.

Rowling and Ellie climbed up to a platform more than ten meters high on the rock wall in one go, and only stopped to catch their breath after confirming that the snakes were not chasing them.

On the platform, two rainbow finches lay paralyzed on the ground, their chests rising and falling slightly, their eyes unfocused, clearly indicating that they were deeply poisoned and on the verge of death.

Ellie looked at their pitiful state, her eyes filled with pity.

"Mr. Rowling, can they... still be saved?"

Rowling examined the two birds and frowned.

"The venom of the red-ringed rock viper is troublesome, as it combines the properties of nerve paralysis and flesh corrosion."

"My medicine does not contain a highly effective antidote specifically for this type of snake venom."

"Conventional antidotes and your natural energy can only temporarily delay the damage, not eradicate it."

He looked at the rainbow finches that had broken off their own tail feathers.

Pale blue blood, tinged with wind elemental fluctuations, was still seeping from the severed end.

This unique tail feather seems to be one of the core elements of its power; its self-severance also caused it great damage.

"Unless—" Roland's eyes flashed as he took out the small, smooth, milky-white pebble from his pocket. "This thing has a powerful stabilizing and harmonizing effect; it might neutralize some of the snake venom's activity and help them survive."

He wasn't sure, but it was worth a try.

Luo Lin gently placed the small stone on the chest of the more seriously injured Rainbow Feather Sparrow, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of [Quiet Dust Star] to guide the stable rhythm emitted by the small stone into the bird's body.

A warm, milky-white light rose from the small pebble, spreading like ripples on water, covering the Rainbow Feather Sparrow's battered body.

A miracle happened.

The spread of the purplish-black, festering wounds on the bird's body, caused by snake venom, slowed significantly!

Its originally chaotic and weak aura seemed to be soothed and stabilized a little by a gentle force!

Although he is still in critical condition, at least he is no longer in a state of imminent death!

efficient!

Luo Lin's spirits lifted, and he acted in accordance with the law, moving the small stone to another rainbow finch.

Similarly, the erosion caused by snake venom was somewhat contained.

"Ellie, continue to use natural energy to sustain their life, focusing on protecting their heart and brain."

Luo Lin gave the instructions, while he began rummaging through the medicinal herbs in his package, preparing to concoct a universal auxiliary medicine that could enhance vitality and resistance.

The two got busy on the platform.

Ellie focused intently on guiding that faint natural energy, carefully nourishing the bodies of the two dying birds.

Luo Lin quickly prepared the medicine, pried open the bird's beak, and poured it in little by little.

Time passed slowly amidst the intense rescue efforts.

The sun gradually began to set in the west.

Finally, the rainbow-feathered bird that had cut off its own tail feathers twitched its eyelids a few times and slowly opened them.

Its eyes were still weak, but they were no longer unfocused. Instead, they held a clear sense of bewilderment at surviving a catastrophe, along with a hint of wariness, as it looked at the two unfamiliar humans before it.

As Luo Lin watched it open its eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was saved.

Although it will take time to gradually eliminate the remaining toxins and restore vitality, the most dangerous hurdle has been overcome.

Looking at the milky-white pebble in his hand, he gained a deeper understanding of its value and potential.

And these two rainbow finches that were unexpectedly rescued—maybe they will also bring about some unexpected changes?

In the wilderness, cause and effect are unpredictable.

The wind on the platform was a bit cold.

The first rainbow finch to open its eyes struggled to stand up, but its weak body and lingering numbness allowed it to barely raise its neck and let out a few weak, wary cooing sounds.

The other rainbow finches slowly opened their eyes, seemingly in worse condition. They could only twitch their eyelids, lacking even the strength to lift their heads.

Ellie let out a soft breath, her forehead covered in fine sweat. Maintaining the natural energy guidance for nearly an hour was quite taxing on her.

"Mr. Rowling, have they come back to life?"

"They won't die for now." Luo Lin put away his medicine-mixing tools and carefully observed the condition of the two birds.

"The venom has been contained, but eradication will take time. Their bodies are very weak, especially that one," he pointed to the one that had severed its own tail feathers, "destroying its core tail feathers, damaging its very essence, makes recovery even more difficult."

He walked to the edge of the platform and looked at the sky. "We'll camp here tonight. They can't move now, and we need to rest too."

The platform is not large, but it is relatively flat and backs onto a rock wall, making it a good temporary campsite.

Rowling skillfully arranged simple warning runes and lit a small campfire made of dried moss and shrub branches.

The location is high up and relatively secluded, so using a small fire shouldn't be a problem.

The firelight brought warmth and dispelled some of the chill.

Lorin placed the milky-white pebble between the two rainbow-feathered birds, allowing it to continuously radiate a warm and stable energy to help them fight off the remaining poison.

The glint of the pebble seemed to be more subdued than before, indicating that it had consumed a considerable amount of energy.

Ellie sat by the fire, sipping water, her gaze fixed on the two weak birds. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Mr. Rowling, we saved them—and then?"

"Should we release them once they recover?"

"It depends." Rowling added a piece of firewood to the fire. "The Rainbow Feather Sparrow has a certain level of intelligence, and it remembers both kindness and grudges."

"Saving them might create a positive connection."

"These rare wind element birds are sensitive to the wind element and can sometimes give early warnings of weather changes or certain energy disturbances, making them a great help in the wilderness."

"Of course, this is on the premise that they are willing to follow, or that they can help each other if we encounter them in the vicinity later."

He paused, then looked at Ellie: "More importantly, this treatment process will also be a great experience for you."

"Close contact with dying individuals, maintaining their vitality, and feeling the subtle changes in natural energy during the healing process is far more profound than practicing on your own with a stone."

Ellie recalled the feeling of being completely focused and using every bit of energy on the blade, which was indeed completely different from her usual practice.

She felt that her perception and control over natural energy had improved a little more.

"I understand! Thank you, Mr. Rowling, for giving me this opportunity."

Night falls, and the stars shine brightly.

Rowling told Ellie to rest first, and he would keep watch himself.

He sat cross-legged by the fire, keeping an eye on his surroundings while holding the milky-white pebble that had consumed a lot of energy in his palm. He slowly infused it with the power of [Quiet Dust Star], trying to replenish its energy. At the same time, he took this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the rules and rhythms within the pebble.

The inside of the pebble is like a miniature, extremely stable starry sky, with the slowly flowing points of light containing profound principles of harmony and sedimentation.

As Luo Lin immersed his mental energy in it, he felt his mental sea become more tranquil and stable, and even the slight agitation left by using [Star Power Tide] during the day was soothed.

This is definitely a rare treasure to aid in cultivation!
