All regarded Emily with exasperation written all over his face. In the end, he could only sigh and relent. “Okay, I’ll carry him back to Rock Village, but I’m not sure whether I can save him.”
While saying that, he hoisted Jared onto his back. Emily wiped her tears. She cast a glance at Divine Bow before snagging it up. She knew that it must be Jared’s weapon, so she took it with her. However, she had no idea that it was the renowned Divine Bow. After Ali had carried Jared back to Rock Village, Emily had him place the latter in her house.
“Here are some medicinal herbs, Emily. Give them to him. It would depend on his luck whether he can pull through. Tell me if he dies so I can carry him out to be buried,” Ali uttered, giving Emily a bag of medicinal herbs.
“Thank you, Ali!” Emily gushed with great gratitude as she took the medicinal herbs from him. When Ali had left, Ira, who was blind, trudged out from another room.
“Emily, I heard Ali’s voice. What was he saying. just now? What was that about pulling through? Who’s injured?” Ira asked. “It’s Jared, Grandma,” Emily answered..
“Jared?” Ira was stunned for a moment. Emily proceeded to explain everything in detail to her. Only then did it dawn on Ira that it was the man who was there some time ago. “Quick, bring me to him, Emily!”
She had Emily lead her into the room where Jared lay. Stepping forward, Ira checked whether the man was still breathing and took his pulse before commenting, “He’s downright lucky. Not only has he been drained to near depletion, but his blood essence is also close to exhaustion. Surprisingly, he’s still alive.”
“Then, can Jared still wake up, Grandma?” Emily hastily queried. “That’s hard to say. It depends on his luck. Don’t use any medicine on him, for it won’t do him any good. Just let him lay there and recuperate,” Ira instructed.
No sooner had she said that than she frowned and turned to the side, murmuring, “What’s there, Emily? Why is it that I sense something amiss?”
Sweeping her gaze over, Emily saw that the item placed there was Jared’s bow. Thus, she replied, “Jared’s weapon is there, Grandma. It’s just a bow, and it looks pretty worn out.”
As she spoke, she picked up the Divine Bow and handed it to the elderly woman. But when Ira had taken Divine Bow and ran her hands over it, she abruptly trembled, causing Divine Bow to slip from her hold and fall to the ground.
“What’s wrong, Grandma?” Emily questioned, swiftly stepping forward and supporting her upon noticing her apprehension. “Oh, nothing. It’s nothing.” Ira shook her head before ordering, “Quick, wrap this bow with a scrap of cloth and hide it, Emily. Don’t tell anyone about this matter. Do you understand?”
A puzzled expression on her face, Emily ventured, “Is there something different about this bow, Grandma? Ali and the others have already seen it.”
“No, there isn’t anything different. Just do as I said. Hurry up!” Ira hissed, her face stretching. taut all of a sudden. Seeing that, Emily had no choice but to obey. She wrapped Divine Bow with a scrap of cloth. and hid it in an obscure place.
After she had left, Ira observed the weak aura from Jared and muttered, “Who exactly are you that you have the Divine Bow in your possession and are so severely injured? Hopefully, your arrival will not bring destruction to this small mountain village.”
Having said that, she turned around and felt her way out of the room. Time flew past. In the blink of an eye, it had been three days. Throughout the past three days, Emily took meticulous care of Jared. Regretfully, the man was still unconscious. His aura was as weak as ever, and he was in danger of dying anytime.
