Mercenaries and Adventurers

Relying on his enhanced perception without knowing what happened, Keel carefully observed the huge monster above his head.

The monster seemed to be watching the two of them, no, more of him.

Keir fiddled with the ax in his hand, and whistled towards the monster in the white mist above his head.

The monster stopped grunting, the entire huge body seemed to pause, and then the black giant mouth shot straight out from the huge body in front of it.

The target, of course, is the provocative Kiel.

Keel sideways with his good leg, letting the monster's volley knock him out of the air.

boom!

The monster's giant mouth hit the ground, causing a huge shock.

Kiel spun around, swung the giant ax in his hand, and slashed fiercely on the side of the pitch-black giant mouth that stretched to the ground.

With a puff, Kiel grasped the attack distance of the giant ax just right. He only let the ax face cut a huge cross-section on the monster's giant mouth. He didn't sink the entire ax into the monster's body as before. In the middle, it was taken to the sky and fell down.

The ax head of Kiel's "Superior Water Head" was more than ten centimeters long, and it dealt a heavy blow to the monster at once. A large amount of translucent mucus spurted out from the cut opening, and finally, the monster on its head let out its first painful roar other than a grunt.

"Squeak!!!" It wasn't the clearer animal roar as imagined, this monster didn't know what it was, and made a hissing sound like an insect being caught.

Immediately afterwards, the monster swung its giant mouth vigorously, trying to hit Kiel with its long, threatening mouth.

But Kiel had already seen through the opponent's attack method when the opponent first started to move, and he had already put this move.

Huh huh huh.

The monster's giant mouth swept randomly on the ground, and a lot of dry grass and stone dust were swept away, making the vision that was already obscured by the white mist even worse.

The steward, Irupaki, shrank herself vigorously, covering her ears with her hands to resist everything that was loud and chaotic outside. He couldn't help much, he could only pray to the gods he believed in in his heart, and let the gods bless Kiel who was fighting and himself who was hiding.

"Lord of all things, the light that spreads, please bless Kiel to win."

"Please also let me go home safely. Expel the monsters! Expel the monsters!"

He shouted incoherently, although the words he said were not coherent, but the meaning inside was straightforward.

Kiel also heard Irupaki's chaotic shouts in the chaotic scene, and he moved his position to the campfire while laughing.

The monster was really afraid of fire. Although the size of the campfire seemed small under its huge body, it probably didn't want to be burned. The monster avoided the campfire with its huge mouth.

With the campfire as an obstacle, Kiel's dodge has a safe point to rely on. His footsteps were not far from the campfire, and as long as the giant mouth of the monster approached, he quickly dodged to the side of the campfire enduring the severe pain in his right leg, and let the monster forcibly change the swinging route of the giant mouth.

When the time was right, Kiel tried to swing the ax quickly, letting the ax hit the bottom of the monster's giant mouth.

After going back and forth, the monster couldn't help it anymore, and it finally resorted to other means.

Hearing the first wind, Kiel immediately realized that there were other attacks from monsters arriving.

Looking up, the left and right two equally pitch-black slender limbs swept down from the sky.

Fortunately, the surroundings were illuminated by the campfire, and the white mist scattered the light from the campfire, illuminating the surroundings brightly, and the monster's own dark body was somewhat conspicuous.

With a lunge, Kiel let go of these two attacks that were aimed at him.

Clang!

It was as if the sound of metal colliding and knocking was made after the two monster limbs collided together.

Even behind Keel, who didn't see it, the two monsters' new limbs collided, sparking a large spark.

Standing up again from the forward jump, Keel looked behind him, and it turned out that there were two slender legs and feet of monsters like the most dangerous and sharp blades.

Seeing the slender and long hairs swaying on the monster's dark legs, Keel seemed to have a little idea of ​​what the monster was. But because he didn't look directly at the monster itself, although he had some inspiration, he still couldn't see what the monster was.

After the monster's sneak attack hit nothing, it retracted its two slender and strong legs to the sky again, trying to find another chance to sneak attack.

Keir was a little puzzled, obviously this guy has such a huge body, it only needs to simply press down the whole body directly from a high place, and it can crush him and the steward Irupaki to death unexpectedly.

But for some reason, this monster seemed like a shy girl, and it just carefully used its long limbs to attack Kiel downward.

Keel speculates that this may be the hunting habits of this monster. Although it is so big, it still relies on hunting methods that are estimated to be passed on instinct to attack its prey.

The silent sneak attack is naturally successful in places where the opponent's magical power and ordinary people can't imagine. If you can't see through the means, this monster's attack and sneak attacks are very good. Every person or animal that was attacked can't be attacked. When he realizes that his own death is approaching.

Kiel felt that the ropes and fixtures on his right calf were beginning to loosen, and he couldn't continue to deal with this monster. After all, the opponent's body size was placed here. The monster's stamina will never run out.

But he can't, even when his legs and feet are intact, his physical strength can't support him to dodge the monster's attack like this. Every time he dodges, he has to focus on the huge black mouth with disordered movements. In addition to the sneak attack just now, he has to pay part of his energy to pay attention to the changes around him.

Being swept away by the giant black mouth, he estimated that under the protection of the armor, he would only suffer minor injuries. However, once he is cut by those two sharp legs, his hard cowhide armor is probably useless, and he will be like a big mouse twisted into two by big iron scissors.

Going on like this is not an option, he feels he has to fight back.

Taking advantage of the fact that the monster didn't want its limbs to come into contact with the flames, Kiel started circling the campfire. Sure enough, the monster started to be timid in its next attack. Although it was still trying to find an angle to hit Kiel, it couldn't do it every time.

But Kiel saw the opportunity. After dodging the giant mouth of the monster that swept away the mud and withered grass again, Kiel did not retreat but advanced. The ax caught up with the monster's black giant mouth little by little among the slow things.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

Kiel threw himself forward as hard as he could, and his arm was only caught at the end of the wooden handle of the axe, just to let the ax head stretch forward as much as possible, but the monster above seemed to see Kiel's plan.

Its prey mouth was still in pain, and it didn't want to be attacked by Kil's sharp axe.

The monster speeded up the swing of the giant black mouth, so that Kiel's blow didn't hit it.

Kiel's eyes were red. He was unwilling to lose the blow that he had stored for a long time. He shook his heart, and Kiel loosened the fingers that were holding the end of the wooden handle of the axe, letting the ax out of his hand.

With a spin, it accelerated and smashed on the surface of the monster's pitch-black giant mouth.

"Squeak! Squeak!" The monster was in pain again, this time it let out a shrill hiss that shook the whole field.

In addition to the pain in the voice, it was more annoyed that one's pride had been shattered.

Kiel fell to the ground, rolled over and lunged forward again, his ears filled with the shrill hiss of the monster. This greatly increased his thinking ability, and the strong cry seemed to shatter his body and brain.

Since it was difficult to think, Kiel gave up thinking. After his repeated pounces, he got close to the huge black mouth of the monster that kept swaying in place. It seemed that the monster wanted to shake off the human weapon on its prey mouth.

But human weapons are extremely sharp, deeply embedded in the skin of its giant mouth.

Kiel didn't even look at the giant mouth of the monster that was swinging in a small area chaotically, and jumped on it. When he jumped on it, his right hand took out the long sword at his waist, stabbed straight, and the whole body of the sword popped. With a sound, it pierced into the inside of the monster's giant mouth, and pierced half of the sword body.

His other hand went straight to the wooden handle of the ax that was only exposed outside. The slimy monster tissue fluid could not stop Keir's determination to hold the ax tightly. He firmly connected his left hand to the wooden handle of the ax .

-

The monster above saw the human use a weapon to grab its predator's mouth.

This makes it very angry, what is the difference between this human being, obviously human beings are exactly the same to it, but it does not expect to hurt it again and again.

It put down more legs and feet angrily, it must cut this human into pieces of meat!

The monster stopped its sharp hissing, and Kiel finally breathed a sigh of relief. His mind was so confused at this time that he couldn't do any more useful thinking, but he hadn't forgotten what he had been thinking about just now. .

"Pay attention to the thin feet of sharp monsters in the sky, pay attention to the thin feet of sharp monsters in the sky, just look at this, just look at this." Keel kept chanting this passage in a low voice, although his spirit hadn't recovered from the The monster responded with a loud hiss, but just after the monster stopped hissing, he immediately followed his own words subconsciously, swinging two weapons left and right in his hand, one side was to cause trouble for the monster, and the other side was to It is constantly expanding the wound opened by the weapon, trying to draw the weapon out.

And his eyes kept moving left and right following the head, paying attention to the constantly shaking sky above, and when the monster's sharp thin feet would arrive.

coming!

Soon, just a few seconds after the monster stopped hissing, as many as four sharp thin legs cut across the arc at different angles from behind the white mist-filled head.

"ha!"

With a yell, Kiel gave out his greatest strength with his arms, and threw back the two weapons that were deeply embedded in the monster's giant mouth. At the same time, his legs kicked up, and regardless of the severe pain from his right leg, his body fell backwards with a slight distance.

The monster's four sharp and slender legs crossed Kiel's body, almost splitting Kiel's armor into several sections. But after all, it was a little bit worse.

Immediately afterwards, the unrestrained monster's slender legs gathered together, cutting off most of the monster's own huge black mouth.

The monster didn't expect that he would hit the air and cut off his predatory mouth at the same time. Although it would be inconvenient for him to hunt if his predatory mouth is broken, it will grow back, what a ghost.

The monster's next movements were completely chaotic, its four slender and sharp legs were swinging wildly, and some wanted to completely cut off the predator's mouth that was about to break off, anyway, it would grow back after a while. And some sharp legs and feet are gathered under the black giant mouth lightly, trying to hold up the half-broken predator's mouth. Anyway, its body has a very strong recovery ability, and if it is put together with such a broken giant mouth, it may still be able to recover. Just grow up.

The confusion of movements obviously reflects the confusion of the monster's consciousness at this time. Because the body is very large, when manipulating the extended limbs, sometimes there will be such strange behaviors that the previous movement is completely opposite to the next movement.

Of course, Keel, who fell to the ground from just now, couldn't understand what the monster was thinking at this time. He barely stood up, saw the monster's chaotic and uncoordinated movements, knew it was a good opportunity, found the right time, stood in place, aimed the ax in his hand and threw it towards the monster's black giant mouth that was mostly broken.

Whoosh, the rotating giant ax made a cheerful sound of pulling the air, and when Kiel was not paying attention, he adjusted his posture, and the ax just hit the bottom half of the monster's giant mouth that was broken by more than one meter. block, cut off.

The monster that was in chaos finally no longer has to worry about whether to keep the predator's mouth or re-grow a predator's mouth.

The lower half of its predatory mouth was interrupted by humans. It muttered for a while, and stabbed the human with its four sharp and thin legs to no avail, but was blocked by the human with the scorching campfire.

It withdrew its four thin legs, retracted them all up, then raised itself up with a grunt, and ran away with many legs swinging.

Today's hunting was very unsuccessful, and we should stop hunting humans here in the future. This place is still too close to human settlements. Sure enough, my friends are right, it is very dangerous to be close to human settlements.

---

"Whew, wheeze, wheeze." Keel panted heavily, the pain in his right calf made him pull the corner of his mouth, and the teeth in his mouth were clenched hard, causing some blood to pop out of his gums.

The monster's grunt quickly faded away.

The white mist above his head also receded at an extremely fast speed.

After a while, the pitch-black sky flooded into Kiel's sight again.

He had never thought that this dark sky with many strange celestial bodies was so beautiful. Although the night sky is the same no matter where it is, at this moment, he just feels that the ordinary sky is fine.

The three moon gods in the sky also seemed to be smiling at him. They shone brightly, covering the distant mountains and forests with a hazy silvery white.

Keel looked towards the forest on the north side. Under the moonlight, he seemed to vaguely see a cloud of white mist going away on the top of the forest.

There seemed to be something hanging in the sky above his head, but because it was night and the thing didn't reflect much light, he couldn't see it clearly.

Just when Keir was concentrating on looking at what was hanging in the sky in the deep night, the thing swished, pulled by something from south to north, and soon disappeared.

"What is that?" Keel whispered to himself.

If he can figure out what that thing is, if he still has a chance, he can learn more about that monster.

Maybe we can use this to figure out a way to deal with that thing.

"Kiel? Kiel? Are you there?" From a pothole not far away, came a dull voice of inquiry.

After spitting out a mouthful of bloody spittle, Kiel replied to Irupaki, "I'm here, I'm fine, it's okay, the monster is gone."

"I heard the monster grunting, it can talk! Are you really Keel?? Please, God bless, you must be Keel." The voice in the pit was louder, but not as loud as before. so-so.

Rolling a red eye, Keel crouched down and re-tightened the bindings on his loose calves. Then he walked to the side of his helmet, picked up the helmet and patted the dirt on it, then put it on his head and fixed it, using the visor of the helmet to cover the color of his eyes.

"Then you can just stay in the pothole like that, and come out again in the daytime."

The steward Irupaki heard this ridicule, which actually made him feel relieved. After all, no matter what the monster thought, he didn't have the heart to tease him with his mouth.

Carefully sticking his head out of the pothole, he saw the huge black mouth falling on the ground not far away. The steward Irupaki screamed, and immediately retreated into the pit: "The monster is still there!! It's over there! Be careful!"

Hearing the screaming warning from the pit, Keir shrugged his shoulders, walked into his pit, took out a coil of rope, and tied the rope to the lower half of the monster's giant mouth on the ground.

Retrieving his ax from the wound on the monster's body, Kiel hung the ax on his belt, then wrapped the rope around his waist, exerted force with his intact leg, and fell back, using his weight to lift the heavier monster The organization pulled over to the campfire.

Sightlines are better here.

With the light of the campfire, Keel carefully looked at some of the tissues left by the monster.

Unexpectedly, a goat came over to the side. It's good luck that this guy didn't die in the monster's giant mouth swing before.

After the goat came over, it stretched out its tongue to lick the translucent tissue fluid that flowed from the monster's tissue wound.

I don't know what's so delicious about this thing, but the goat licks it so fast that it doesn't even bother to bleat.

Seeing the goat's appearance, Keir drank the water from a water bottle in the backpack first, and then filled the empty bottle with the tissue fluid of these monsters.

There was movement behind him, and Keel turned around to look, and it turned out that the steward Irupaki leaned over with a embarrassed face.

"I'm sorry, Keel, are you not hurt? I never thought that I would scream before." The steward Irupaki leaned over and patted Kiel on the shoulder, "Look here, the leg is broken." Kiel Er pointed to his right calf, which looked like something was wrapped there.

"I will be responsible for the corresponding treatment costs in the future. Please rest assured that the priests are very experienced in this kind of fracture treatment." Irupaki assured me again and again, but Kiel couldn't say anything, so he had to point to the body left by the monster The organization said: "Look, this is a section of body tissue I cut off from the monster just now. According to its purpose, it should be the monster's mouth?"

The steward Irupaki seemed to be somewhat resistant to looking at this thing, but he wanted to take a closer look in his expression. He corrected: "It's a monster! This thing must be a monster. You saw the mist released by that thing. Where is it?" There are ordinary monsters that can cast spells, although I don’t know if magicians can release spells like fog, but this guy definitely can. It’s a rare monster!”

After a pause, he continued: "I have to report this matter to Kendall City as soon as possible to inform the baron. They must send knights to destroy that monster!"

Kiel shrugged. He was also afraid of that monster. If it wasn't for eating the red-eyed mushroom, he would have been knocked down by that monster.

Of course, Irupaki's steward will definitely not survive. That pothole is okay to avoid monsters who don't know where they are hiding. Once they know that there are people hiding in it, the monsters will definitely dig humans out of the ground like humans like to eat snails or shells, and then devour them.

"Hey." Keel sighed deeply.

"What's the matter?" Irupaki has been paying attention to the situation of the young warrior Kiel. He never imagined that this young warrior is really alone. No, he doesn't use a gun or a horse. It's so unbelievable. The defeat drove away a monster.

Could it be that Warcraft is not as powerful as rumored? How is it possible, such a huge pool of meat in front of him is only a small part of the mouth of the monster. The entire monster is hidden behind the fog in the air.

There is only another explanation. This Keir is really as powerful as he said. It seems that the warriors who can make a name for themselves in Kendall City are really capable people.

Even at such a young age.

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't want to promise other people in the future, and bring others to see if there is such a thing as the existence of dangerous monsters." Keir's voice sounded a little dull through the helmet.

But Irupaki blushed and explained embarrassingly: "This is the first time I saw the monster in the elder's story, and I really couldn't control it."

Keir shrugged, he took out his dagger, looked at the rows of fangs in circles in the monster's huge mouth, and started thinking.

I've seen this thing before, and it seems to be quite useful.
