The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 183 - Fainting

Shivering in the cold and enduring the pain, Lina immediately tried to get up. Then he bit his own finger and dripped his blood into the mouth of the Kubucil, who had almost lost consciousness.

Immediately, the nearly withered lotus was healed again, at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Kubucil flower petals that a while ago was grayish white due to exposure to King Cobra poison, have now returned pink again. 

Then I rubbed Lina's injured finger and said with a sob, "Mother.."

Lina touched the petals of the Kubucil flower and said, "Now you're okay, don't cry.."

...........

Although the Saga has been taken away, but the trail left by the snow sled is still there.

"If I follow these tracks before they're lost in the snow, I can definitely track where they took the Saga away." Lina thought as she looked at the drag trail and the footprints, on top of the snow pile.

Then with all her strength, Lina struggled to move her legs.

But, he immediately stopped when he was only five steps away, while holding onto his painful chest.

"UHUK UHUK!"

"My lungs are hurting. It's hot as if it's burning.." Inner Lina.

Then he bowed and coughed again a few times.

"UHUK UHUK!"

Now, his movements were too slow, and before he could catch up to Saga, the traces that were on the snow surface, gradually began to be erased and covered, by the gusts of wind and snow falling.

Realizing this, Lina immediately took out a handful of clam grass powder and put it in her mouth, then picked up a bit of snow, to help swallow the medicinal powder.

The healing effect of the mussel grass was too slow, besides, he also had to race against time, which the current every second to him was worth so much!

Then he called out the voice that was in his mind.

"Mom, is there a way to heal my wounds quickly?"

The voice in Lina's mind said, "The system cannot treat the wound the host is suffering from, but it can temporarily block the pain."

Grunting that, Lina immediately said, "Then, quickly get rid of my pain!"

"If you don't feel pain anymore, it's a sign that the system has blocked it." The voice in Lina's mind.

"so.."

After the pain she could previously feel had gone, Lina now felt refreshed again.

...........

At this moment, Lina continued to walk quickly, tracing every trace that existed on the surface of the snow.

Not to forget, he also always sprinkled some fried sunflower seeds along the way, as a guide for Uriel, Wiro and Leon or others who might come to pick him up.

On her way, Kubucil helps Lina catch a Deer alive, then Lina makes a snow sled from the board she took from inside the storage room, and ties the end of the rope to the deer's body.

Initially, the deer was unwilling to help him to pull the snow sled. But then, with the help of Kubucil, Lina tried to seduce the Deer using sweet vegetables, which finally, the Deer was now willing to walk while pulling the snow sled that lina sat on.

In winter as it is today, the entire forest is covered with snow. There are very few green plants to see.

For several days, this poor polar deer did not eat fresh grass, he could only find and eat the weeds that had withered.

But now, with so many sweet and fresh vegetables in front of her, the Reindeer was willing to accept his fate to pull the skateboard that Lina was sitting on, and immediately ran down the snow.

"DRAP DRAP! DRAP DRAP!"

With the help of the Reindeer, now the speed of Lina chasing Saga increased many times.

...........

You could say, Lina was very lucky.

During the few days of travel, the weather was very bright and there was not the slightest snowfall.

Although he was currently feeling very tired and it was difficult to open his eyes due to being very sleepy, fortunately the traces left behind by the snow sled carrying Saga could still be seen. That means, if he still can't give up.

With extreme drowsiness and exhaustion, Lina always said in her heart, to keep encouraging herself, "I mustn't stop here.."

In winter, most wild animals and Orcs will always be in their nests, and will not come out of the nest to move. That's what makes Lina also lucky, not to encounter danger during the trip.

In addition, this time Lina did not need to worry about hunger like her previous experience, as there were plenty of food and drinking water supplies inside the storage room.

When Lina was hungry and thirsty, she would pause for a few mouthfuls and drink a few sips of water, then rest for a while. After that, he continued his journey.

...........

After almost ten days of travel, Lina finally saw a cold figure who was together with dozens of others, on the river bank.

Although Lina had quickly gone into hiding, the cold figure could still sense her presence.

"Did?"

The cold figure immediately turned his head and looked towards where Lina was hiding, then said to some Orcs nearby, "Check and bring here the man hiding there."

The two Orcs of Wild Cats that were ordered immediately headed to the place where Lina was hiding.

"Wine! How's this?!" Inner Lina as she looked at the two Wild Cat Orcs that were walking quickly approached her.

In a state of panic, Lina suddenly remembered the lotus seeds given by Kubucil for her.

Quickly, he immediately took out a lotus seed, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

"GLASS!"

The two Wild Cat Orcs immediately ran towards the boulder and found that there was only a dead tree, with all its leaves missing, there was also a wild deer not far away.

As there was nothing they could find, the two Wild Cats returned empty-handed.

"Chairman, there's only one wild Deer, nothing else." Say one of the new Orcs back.

The figure with the cold expression nodded, and did not think about this anymore.

Then he looked down to see Saga.

The wound on the Piton Snake had now frozen, due to the cold temperature and no more blood flowing out. However, his injuries still did not heal. Moreover, during these few days, the Piton Snake refused to eat. That is what makes the Piton Snake very weak.

If not for the state of the Piton Snake that was currently starting to look increasingly weak, this cold figure would not have stopped here.

"Do you really want to go on hunger strike for a woman?" Said the figure with his tone that sounded extremely cold.

Despite being able to hear what the cold figure was saying, the Piton Snake simply lay weak and did not say anything.

At this moment, the cold figure said again, "If you still behave like this, I will immediately return to capture the little female and turn her into a member of the Demon clan. That way, you can be with her forever." 

Upon hearing that, the Piton Snake slightly moved its body, then said in its weak-sounding voice, "Don't disturb him.."

"If you really want to protect her, you should come back to the Demon clan with me, and train to increase your strength to be even stronger. If all that you have achieved, you can go anywhere and protect anyone as you please. Someday, nothing will stop you.” Said the cold figure.

"If I became a demon completely, Lina would definitely hate me so much. It would be much better if I just died, than to become a creature that Lina hated.."

After thinking like that, the Piton Snake muttered softly, “I don't want to become a monster demon.. Lina.”

The voice of Handi said again, "If she really loves you, no matter what you become, she will still love you! Otherwise, it means he's a hypocrite and totally unworthy of your love."

After what Handi said, the python was silent again.

Looking at the so stubborn Piton Snake, the figure said again with his tone that this time sounded cold and disappointed, "If your mother is still alive and sees your hopeless appearance like this, he will be very disappointed!"

Although Handi had already said that, but, the Piton Snake still did not speak either.

Handi, who felt that something was wrong with the Piton Snake, immediately looked at him closely.

"It turns out this boy fainted! I must immediately bring him back to the Demon clan, in order to recover his injuries!"

After which, the cold figure immediately said to the Orcs of Wild Cats, "I'll be back first. You guys follow me too."

"Good."

Not long after, the cold figure shook its snake tail and broke the frozen ice on the surface of the river. The turbulent waters of the river, previously covered by frozen ice, could soon be seen.

Then he wrapped around the body of the Piton Snake that was currently unconscious, then jumped into the river and swam quickly.

Dozens of Wild Cats also immediately joined and plunged themselves into the river, and left the snow sled on the banks of the river.

Shortly after the Orcs had left, the dead tree that had been hiding behind the rock, began to move its dried branches.

"Luckily, I quickly ate the lotus seeds in time." Lina said to herself.

At that moment, Lina transformed herself into a dead tree, which made her escape the detection of the Wild Cat Orcs.

He moved his tree roots one by one, and started walking on the snow to head to the riverbank.

There was a large hole in the frozen surface of the river.

"So I saw, that cold figure jumping into this river while carrying Saga. I also had to throw myself into the river, so that I wouldn't lose them." Think Lina.

"BYURR!"

The weight of the dead tree is very light, which makes it immediately swept away by the rushing stream to a distance.

As he felt himself constantly circling in the water, "I felt very dizzy, like I was going to throw up.."

Lina also did not know, how long she had been swayed by the swift flow of this river. Until he drifted to the underground lake, which was on the river bank.

At this moment, the dead tree was floating quietly, on the calm surface of the lake water.

Lina felt so dizzy and light-headed, that it made her feel like a daze.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?"

It took a long time for him, before he could recover from his current state.

After starting to regain his senses, he painstakingly tried to paddle the body of the tree, using its branches to go to the edge of the lake.

"Huh.. Huhhhh.. Huhhhh.. It's hard to paddle with this body shape."
