Earth elemental begins to elbow strike wildly.

Chapter 8: Yue Feng won the MVP!

Ding.

[Name: Sovia Agraria (lv5)]

[Status]: Severe fatigue, severe infection, high fever, fracture of the right lower leg, fecal infestation (accelerating), coma

After traveling for another two hours through the blizzard, Sovia on his back fell into a coma, and the magic mark of "Guide Me" disappeared.

Of course, Yue Feng wasn't much better off.

His body was so thin that he was barely a meter tall, and his body was filled with scattered stones and mud. There wasn't a single intact rock slab to be found.

The makeshift stretcher on his back collapsed, leaving him no choice but to carry Sovia on his back.

The rough, sharp pebbles constantly rubbed and tore at her clothes, ripping her sleeves and leaving her bare arms covered in fine, gruesome scratches.

But Yue Feng couldn't care less about any of that.

He is currently in a state of severe fatigue, and is only holding on thanks to the last fatigue-suppressing spell that Sovia released before she was on the verge of unconsciousness.

The spell's buff effect may only last for an hour.

The moment the boost disappears is the moment you completely collapse.

The only good news is...

Yue Feng could already see the outlines of houses stretching into the distance, clusters of warm yellow lights standing out conspicuously in the darkness.

At this moment, the gray spot in the lower right corner of his eye suddenly changed from a constant light to a flashing light, and the gray light disappeared a few seconds later.

Lines of semi-transparent text appeared before my eyes.

Ding.

Status: Severe fatigue, magic depletion (bad)

The skill book "Thousand Twists and Turns" (3/3) has been analyzed.

The skill book can be used three times.

Note! Using it once does not mean you will learn the martial arts technique; you need to practice diligently to learn it.

【Martial Arts Skill: Thousand Spinning (Beginner)】A beginner-level martial arts skill that utilizes momentum. It allows you to accumulate power by rotating your arms and then unleash it with a straight punch, a hook punch, or other stance-based martial arts skills.

The accumulated power can only last for a maximum of two seconds.

It was originally a martial art created by the Demon King, Skultum, and was later learned by Rein Bravo of the Iron Fist School, and spread throughout the world.

Spin! Spin! Spin hard! I'm flying!

—Just kidding, only the arms can fly.

Yue Feng stared at the refreshed text and muttered to himself:

"Why is it only appearing now! And isn't this just some kind of wild, unorthodox punch?"

He recalled the martial arts skills that Goblinchip had displayed.

【Dragon Martial Style - Wrist Pierce】is clearly a stance-based martial art as described in the introduction.

When using it, the weapon should be raised above the head to form the stance required to trigger the martial skill.

【Advance Strike】is a martial art that utilizes momentum and can be followed up with a regular attack.

There may also be martial arts techniques that can be used simultaneously before or during an attack.

However, all of this is just speculation. Yue Feng currently only knows one apprentice-level martial art, [Throwing].

The effect is merely that of throwing objects, with only the power seemingly increased slightly.

Swish~ Swish~

Yue Feng slid down the slope at full speed, his entire body of earth and stone skimming along the ground.

The small watchtowers of the distant town gradually became clearer as the distance drew closer.

On the watchtower, a bald guard stood alone, completely drunk, his whole body dazed and swaying precariously.

He wiped the remaining foam from the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and stared unfocusedly at the edge of the forest.

Suddenly, a lump of earth and rocks came rushing towards them at high speed, seemingly carrying something on its back.

"Hiccup~ Turns out it was a person on its back."

"Tsk tsk, having to go out on commissions in this awful weather, no wonder adventurers earn so much!"

"Pooh!"

The guard spat, pulled out a flask from his waist, and gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor.

Once he could clearly see the town's walls, Yue Feng deliberately slowed down, fearing that the other side might mistake him for a monster and shoot him.

Seeing that the guards on the watchtower didn't react, he quickened his pace again.

"Sovia? Is that you, Sovia?"

As soon as Yue Feng stepped into the city gate, he heard an urgent female voice coming from beside him.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing a dark green linen robe running towards him with a gurgling sound.

This is because I ran into someone I know.

The middle-aged woman stammered, "Niece, is this the earth elemental you summoned? Did you get injured and make it carry it?"

She was a little flustered and only realized after calling out for a while that Sovia was not in a conscious state at all.

Normally, earth and stone spirits summoned to the material plane, once separated from their master's commands, will stagnate and become unable to act on their own.

Of course, you can also set some simple operating logic.

For example, attacking any intruders who break into the treasure chamber, or stationing oneself at a hidden entrance for an extended period.

But this is clearly not included in what is right in front of us.

She didn't understand why the earth elemental could act independently while Sovia was unconscious, and why she couldn't interfere with her actions at will.

This will be seen as an obstacle by the earth element, and regarded as an enemy.

Ding.

【Name: Viola ※※※ (lv??)】

[Race: Human, Female, Level ? (Common Species)]

[Equipment]: None

Backpack: Two packets of plantain ointment, a bottle of yarrow juice...

"As always, the character panel is full of gibberish and question marks."

Yue Feng withdrew his gaze, closed the character panel, and had a guess in his mind.

The mechanism for viewing the panel may be related to species; apart from the summoner, one can only view creatures below the ordinary species level.

Furthermore, viewing the panels of the better creatures among the inferior ones will also cause a delay.

If you check the item panel, the delay time will be further extended.

"We need to find more things to try in the future, because the current sample size is simply not enough to detect any patterns."

Yue Feng silently recited this in his heart as he slowly walked to Viola's side.

The latter immediately realized that the earth element in front of him seemed to be asking him for help.

"Earth element, so intelligent?"

Viola stopped investigating, putting those distracting thoughts aside, and led the earth elemental away from the main street, into a deep alleyway.

After navigating the winding, muddy path, they arrived at a small wooden house at the end of the alley.

The old house looked very dilapidated, with a wooden sign nailed to the door that read "Moss and Herbs House".

If the lights hadn't been on inside, Yue Feng would have thought the place was abandoned.

"Crunch~"

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, Yue Feng carried Suoweiya into the herbal medicine shop.

In the corner, a couple sat by a makeshift hospital bed, looking haggard and anxious.

Their brat broke his own leg.

"Quick, come this way."

Viola quickly made up a sheet and urged, "Please put Sovia on the bed."

Although Yue Feng couldn't understand the words, he could understand what the other person meant.

With the help of one person and one "earth", they carefully laid Sovia flat on the hospital bed.

Viola immediately took out her personal healing tools and deftly unwrapped the linen wrappings and wooden splints.

In an instant, a putrid stench emanated from his right calf.

The flesh at the wound had long since rotted and decayed, and yellowish-green pus was slowly seeping out.

No doctor's diagnosis is needed.

Yue Feng knew that Suoweiya's leg was probably beyond saving.
