Black Wolf and Almost Dead

Edited by: Xzider

Jackson walked by the river, he was a few feet away from where he set up the traps.

'The fish was not bad but if I add a little more seasoning like parsley, onion and some other items, it would be perfect but where am I going to get those?'

'From my botanical memories, these spices do not exist in this world.'

He was reflecting on how he could solve this problem.

'It's getting late, I better hurry,' he was quick to reach the river bank.

Jackson had a bad feeling, so he tossed his body aside instinctively.

He felt a cold breeze on his back.

When he gazed at the side, Jackson saw a black wolf five feet tall.

He realized that if he had not thrown his body at the right time, he probably would have become a corpse by now.

The wolf glanced at Jackson confusedly, like a born predator living in this forest since birth, the wolf was used to killing.

Wolves usually hunted with their flock, but their hunting ground was being invaded by another predator.

Since it was thirsty, it then decided to go to the river.

Seeing a prey that was not emitting energy, it felt happy. After all who refused a free meal.

But when it struck him in the back through a sneak attack, the human deflected, which made it very angry.

'Fuck! I almost died, what do I do now!?'

Jackson didn't know what to do exactly.

The black wolf gave him no time, it ran towards him and struck a frontal assault with its claw.

Jackson took the wooden sword and defended himself from the attacks.

As he received each blow, his body was pushed back toward the bank.

If Jackson hadn't trained fencing in the morning, he'd presumably be dead by now.

The wolf was astonished that the human was able to defend himself from its attacks. This hurt its honor, the wolf then began to attack with full force.

'Shit! I won't be able to hold on for long,'

Jackson started to rapidly think of a way out of this situation.

Sensing the water touching his feet, he had an idea.

When the wolf struck with its sharp claws. Jackson positioned his body appropriately, so instead of blocking the attack, he used the sword to divert the claw's trajectory.

He then struck the wolf's head.

That was just enough to make the wolf stunned for a few seconds.

Jackson then jumped back into the water.

But the wolf returned from its stunned state and reacted swiftly. It struck a blow that Jackson could not deflect, he would have to block the attack anyway as he had no stability in his body.

The blow hit him hard, making a horrible wound with a claw rip.

Jackson got badly injured, but his goal had been achieved. He made his body float to the lake.

The wolf followed him along the bank but when the wolf looked in the direction Jackson was heading to, it got terrified and fled, as if it had seen its worst enemy.

When Jackson reached the lake, he slowly came out of the water.

Lying on the shore of the lake, he felt sleepy but did not sleep because he knew it would be the end.

'I need to stay awake,' he took off his shirt, a terrible wound was in his abdomen.

'I need to clean the wound so it won't get infected' Jackson knew what to do but had no idea what to use.

He just came into this world, so he didn't know where to get medicinal plants.

Bluuu...

Jackson heard a noise in the water where he saw the carp staring at him.

"Sorry little friend, there's no food today."

The fish after observing Jackson's situation plunged into the water.

A minute later it returned but this time it had blue seaweed on its head.

He glanced at the fish and laughed but as he focused his attention on the seaweed, he was shocked.

'This is an Azure Yin algae, it can only be found at the bottom of a lake with a high concentration of Yin energy.'

Seeing this algae, Jackson knew it was safe. This was a medicinal plant that can cure most poisons and infections, which was perfect for his current situation.

"Thank you, goldenfish," he thanked the carp while taking the seaweed.

He applied the seaweed on his wound, Jackson felt as if he had used ice on his injury.

That was the medicinal property of the plant taking effect, the yin energy was freezing all bacteria and possible poisons inside his body.

'Damn wolf, next time I'll kill you!' Jackson was full of rage but suddenly he heard a system notification.
