14: Get healing skills!
Snow Wolves are pack animals and usually hunt in groups.
Similarly, to meet the food needs of the large pack, Snow Wolves mostly hunt large beasts or herds of herbivores.
In this area, the carnivorous animals living here are not just these Snow Wolves, but also other existences.
If they encounter other predators, or some large animals that resist strongly.
Then, during the hunting process, it is inevitable for Snow Wolves to get injured.
Some Snow Wolves, if unlucky, are even commonly kicked by those large wild animals, breaking their spines.
In the natural world where the strong prey on the weak, the birth, aging, sickness, and death among wild animals are simply too common.
It is very possible that after one separation, there will be no chance to meet again; this world is exceptionally cruel.
Apparently, the Snow Wolf pack in the Ice and Snow Valley had a very unsuccessful hunt this time.
Lu Chuan saw that not only the Mother Snow Wolf, but also many adult Snow Wolves, had injuries to varying degrees.
Following the Mother Snow Wolf into the den, Lu Chuan's small blue eyes were filled with worry and concern.
After coming to this world, it was the first time he had seen the pack injured.
This made Lu Chuan, who had been somewhat relaxed, realize the cruelty of this world once again.
Coming to his mother's side, Lu Chuan gently rubbed against her body with his forehead, letting out whimpers from his mouth.
Although he was just reincarnated and came to this other world.
No matter what, the other party is his mother.
Even though she is just a Snow Wolf, he was indeed able to grow up healthy because of her.
Otherwise, he would have probably died in the ice and snow long ago.
Seeing Lu Chuan come over, the Mother Snow Wolf gently licked him, seemingly comforting her cub not to be sad for her.
The pain from the wound on her back made the Mother Snow Wolf's breathing become very heavy.
Injured and having lost blood, she can now only lie weakly in the den to recover.
The wolf race has no means of treatment; as predators in this natural world, once injured, they can only lie there and slowly recuperate.
It is slightly better if there is a pack to take care of them; if they are solitary predators like fierce tigers.
Once they suffer a relatively serious injury, it is no different from being sentenced to death...
Looking at the weak Mother Snow Wolf, Ren Qingyao's eyes also showed some concern for a moment.
A ripple appeared in her heart, which had been calm for a long time.
Although she was reincarnated into this world much later than Lu Chuan.
And she doesn't have a deep relationship with this Snow Wolf in front of her.
But if it were in her previous life, she could easily heal such injuries.
It could even be said that Ren Qingyao, as the Female Emperor.
Just by lifting a finger, she could transform this entire wolf pack, turning them into Divine Beasts capable of swallowing the sun and moon.
But now, she can only stay powerlessly in the cave.
Let alone healing these Snow Wolves, even going out to hunt is impossible.
A Snow Wolf of her age, once she walks out of the Mountain Valley and leaves the protection of the pack.
She will quickly be targeted by other predators and become food in the mouths of other wild beasts.
Strength!
Strength is everything!
The events that happened tonight further solidified Ren Qingyao's determination to Cultivate diligently.
Only by being strong enough oneself will one not be bullied by others.
In her previous life, when she was weak, she had already experienced countless life-and-death crises.
In this life, she will absolutely not allow herself to remain so weak!
At this moment, Lu Chuan was full of worry; he carefully examined the deep scratch mark on his mother's back.
His eyes became solemn for a moment.
According to the animal documentaries Lu Chuan watched in his previous life, when wolf packs are injured while hunting animals.
If injured by herbivores, it is likely internal injuries caused by kicks from four hooves.
Such as broken bones, damaged internal organs, and the like.
Or being gored by horned animals like cattle and deer, using the horns on their heads to flip over the wild wolf, or even directly pierce its body.
But no matter which kind, it would not cause this type of scratch mark on the back.
There is only one possibility, and that is when the wolf pack went out hunting this time, they encountered a predator that is also a carnivore...
After a slight hesitation, Lu Chuan walked forward to lick his mother's wound.
Helping his mother clean the blood from the wound to prevent inflammation and infection.
Furthermore, the tongue of the Snow Wolf Clan, specifically their saliva, contains an antibacterial substance.
Which can, to a certain extent, inhibit subsequent complications.
Most wild beasts also have this ability; after all, wild animals don't have doctors and can only alleviate their injuries in this way.
And licking the wound can also promote blood circulation around the wound, accelerating its healing.
It seemed that Lu Chuan touching the wound caused the Mother Snow Wolf some pain.
She couldn't help but let out a low whimper, but she wasn't angry because of it.
The Mother Snow Wolf also understood her child's intention, knowing that he was helping her heal her injury.
She could only breathe heavily, grit her teeth, endure the pain, and lie on the ground.
After finishing her cultivation, Ren Qingyao found that Lu Chuan was not sticking close to her today as he usually did.
She looked up and saw that Brother was currently nestled beside the Mother Snow Wolf.
It seemed as if he wanted to use this method to alleviate the other party's pain.
After only a slight hesitation, Ren Qingyao also came to her mother's side, and they lay down leaning against each other.
Cold wind howled within the Mountain Valley, which was covered in ice and snow year-round.
In this bleak and cold night, the gusts of wind outside were like the howls of demons.
Inside the den, it was much warmer; a few Snow Wolves huddled together, seemingly enough to withstand this cold world.
...
Early the next morning, Lu Chuan ran into the Mountain Valley.
He walked and stopped in the mountain forest, constantly searching for something.
Finally, he came to a dirt slope and stopped.
"This should be it."
At this moment, in front of Lu Chuan, there was a plant that looked a bit strange, appearing somewhat different from the withered yellow wild grass beside it.
Lu Chuan loved watching animal documentaries in his previous life.
He knew that some animals would find some medicinal herbs to reduce inflammation after getting injured.
And what he found now was exactly a type of very common hemostatic herb in the mountains that he had learned about in his previous life.
Even after being covered by ice and snow, the withered yellow medicinal herb could still exert its efficacy.
Bringing this hemostatic herb back to the cave, Lu Chuan chewed it up and gently applied the residue to his mother's wound with his tongue.
Seeing this scene, Ren Qingyao was instantly extremely surprised.
Could it be that her wolf Brother, who was only born not long ago, also understands medicinal principles?!
Is this still her Brother, the one whose brain wasn't smart enough?!
And under Lu Chuan's persistent treatment, the Mother Wolf's injury also began to gradually improve.
That day, Lu Chuan subconsciously opened his attribute panel, preparing to check his evolution points, but suddenly froze in place.
He discovered that in his skill bar, a "Healing" skill had somehow appeared at some point.
