Mercenaries and Adventurers

The people who were still alive in the bandits' winter camp wailed one after another. They wanted to escape, but this huge and terrifying monster was circling around the fire in the center of the camp at a leisurely pace.

Every time the long sharp legs move on the ground, a narrow puncture at least half a meter deep will be pierced.

The few bandits and female citizens hiding in the simple tent of the bandits even dared to shrink inside, wrapped themselves in animal skins, and kept trembling, praying that the terrifying monsters outside would not notice their small tattered tent with people .

-

In fact, the monster knows that there are people in the human's small room, but it finds that the person inside has not come out, neither runs away nor attacks it, so it treats it as if it did not see it.

The few humans who were still standing were tightly surrounded by the campfire, which made it a little difficult to handle. After going around twice, it decided that it would be better to eat the human corpses on the ground first.

The body is supported by four legs. It leaves one leg to move the human corpse on the ground, and carefully cuts off the troublesome clothes and animal skins outside the human body. Bring to the edge of your mouth and swallow.

While swallowing the food, it worked hard to cover the fog around its body again.

-

The remaining bandits by the campfire trembled and supported each other to prevent everyone from falling to the ground, causing the monsters to attack.

Although they don't know why this terrifying monster doesn't come to eat them, they have already been occupied by terror in their minds, and they have already lost the ability to think normally.

It wasn't those bandit bastards who had killed people, but in the few tens of seconds just now, this terrifying monster killed most of their entire gang of bandits.

And compared to being killed by the sharp legs and feet of the monster, being swallowed alive into the long giant mouth of the monster is even more frightening to them.

They just watched the monster leisurely pull away the ruins of the wooden house that was crushed at the beginning, and swallowed the woman who was directly crushed and still alive inside.

And after the monsters ate all the dead or injured human beings on the surrounding ground, these bandits watched the people hiding in the tent not far away being dragged to a distance by the legs and feet of the monsters, and then cut open the tarpaulin outside the tent , split the naked bandit inside who was screaming in terror into two pieces, stretched out his huge mouth and ate it into his stomach.

The woman inside who closed her eyes and screamed loudly was not spared by the monster. The giant black mouth that fell from the sky directly smashed this person to the ground. Swallow it in your mouth.

This is the result of the few tents with people in the camp. A ferocious bandit in one of the tents wanted to rush forward to fight the monster to the death, but after this person got close to the monster, the monster just lowered its huge body suddenly, and directly crushed the human being who fell under it. Flatten into the dirt.

The ferocious bandit who was pressed into the surface of the ground did not die for a while, his arms and legs slapped on the ground randomly, but then he was picked out from the ground by the monster with sharp legs, and he swung it a few times in mid-air, and threw it away. He picked up some of the dirt and put it in his mouth.

Among the only surviving bandits by the campfire, the oldest old bandit came to his senses, gritted his teeth and slapped each of the other bandits who were still sluggish, waking them up.

He gritted his teeth, and in a low voice told the other bandits the only way he could think of now: "Now there is another way to escape. Listen carefully, wait a moment and everyone chooses in each direction. In different directions, they fled to the forest outside the camp together. No matter how fast the monster moves, someone will definitely escape. Listen closely to me. Report to the camp."

Just as a bandit was about to speak, he was interrupted by the old bandit: "I know that no one will believe me if I just say it, but just remind them to be vigilant.

If you really want to avenge everyone, run to the middle of this forest. A gang there is the most powerful gang near our Bingxun Pass, and this forest is the safe area they have opened up. Those strong guys can avenge us all, remember, go to the middle of the forest and find some gang with a walled camp. "

Speaking of this, the old bandit took a breath, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "Should avenge us, maybe, maybe."

He picked up the short sword and dagger he was used to, and said in a deep voice, "Get ready, get ready."

The last woman hiding in the tent was found out by the monster, and was about to stuff it into her mouth when a loud shout broke out from the campfire: "Now! Run!"

At the same time, all the bandits who were still alive on the side of the campfire ran out, and the bandits avoided the direction where the monster was.

The bandits all tried their best, burst out with all their strength, and ran towards the forest that was getting closer and closer.

Of course, it was impossible for the monster to let the food run away. It moved all its legs and feet, and surrounded the humans from a more peripheral place along an arc.

There was a bandit who ran in the opposite direction to the monster. He ran halfway, turned his head to look in the direction of the monster, and then turned around and ran towards the forest from where the monster was just now.

This bandit understands, no, it should be said that all the bandits who are still alive understand that there is no need to outrun the monsters, as long as they outrun other people while the monsters are killing others.

The bandit who was chased by the monster looked back, and his frightened soul was about to come out of his shell. A gigantic and terrifying monster was chasing him closely. This astonishing realization made his legs and feet lose strength in an instant, and he was so soft that he fell to the ground. He gasped desperately, but he seemed like a drowning person, unable to breathe any air. into the lungs.

The monster pierced the man head-on with one kick, and then immediately turned and chased the other fleeing bandit who was closest to it.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" The bandit yelled out the only thought in his mind at this time, from talking to himself while running.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" The bandit turned and threw his weapon straight at the chasing monster.

His technique was sophisticated, and the moment he turned around, he threw the two-handed ax out of his hand with the force of turning around.

The monster didn't dare to be careless, it raised a leg, and with a bang, it blocked the spinning ax that was flying towards it.

Seeing that the attack didn't work, the bandit leaped forward in the air and dodged the subsequent counterattacks of the monster.

After he landed, he rolled over to release his strength, and when he was about to get up from his half-squat and continue to escape, the monster's long and long mouth, which was more than one meter thick, was directly stretched out from the front of his body by the monster, and directly hit the closed mouth. behind this bandit.

When the bandit was hit, he flew straight up off the ground like a blown stone, flew over an open space of more than 30 meters, and hit a tree trunk.

After the whole person hit the tree trunk, he fell to the ground without breathing. Only large streams of blood mixed with broken internal organs gushed out from his crooked head and mouth.

The monster was stunned for a while, until it confirmed that the human being who was beaten into the air was dead, and then chased after the next bandit who had jumped into the forest.

It seems that the bandits who run at the same speed as the monsters can't be caught, but the bandits didn't expect that for the huge monsters, it's just a shallow layer of snow on the ground, and for them, who are no more than two feet tall. For human beings who are less than 10 meters long, the nearly half a meter of snow is really an insurmountable hurdle.

While these bandits kept cursing the snow in their hearts, they prayed to all the gods they knew, hoping that they would not be the next lucky player that the monster came to the door.

-

The clever bandit who chose the original location of the monster ran excitedly towards the forest representing safety.

But he didn't expect it at all. Not far away, a pair of red eyes hidden in the snow slowly rose from the snow, and then there was a fast and loud sound of drawing a sword.

Clang.

But the clever bandit, who was full of thoughts about his own safety, didn't pay attention to the incongruous sound of drawing the sword, because the screams of human beings before death came from behind him like a whip, invisible. It was whipping his consciousness, making him keep quickening his pace, even the deep snow couldn't stop him from escaping.

Where are you going after that? Do you want to listen to the old bandit who may be dead by now, and tell the other bandit gangs the news that the monster has entered the winter forest.

Laughing to death, he is a cruel and clever bandit who killed two men and three children. How could he do such a thing that harms himself and benefits others.

It is the safest choice to run to the camp of the most powerful gang that the old bandit said can fight against monsters. It might be possible to fight against the terrifying monsters there, and with his credit for bringing the news of the monsters, he should be able to spend a safe winter there. When next spring comes, he will stop doing this dangerous work. It is still too dangerous in the wild forest, but it is much safer in the town.

And the people there are less aggressive and much more stupid. After all, where there are more people, there are more idiots.

Relying on the existence of those idiots, he can definitely break into a new world.

As he ran, he touched the coins that had been accumulating in his chest. Those heavy coins were the result of his hard work during this time. It was definitely not enough to do something in the town, but it seemed barely enough to rely on these coins as the start-up capital of a scam.

Just when he was about to touch the money bag on his chest again, with a whining sound, he felt his body tremble and staggered.

Stopping, he lowered his head and looked suspiciously at the steel sword point protruding from his chest, wanting to turn around and see who killed him.

Why would someone want to kill him? He is usually the most smiling face in the gang of bandits, with a smooth face.

But a palm with a thick glove pressed the back of his head, throwing his whole body into the snow on the ground.

a moment ago.

Zhao Ji bypassed the huge monster that made a sound when it collided with branches in the forest, and relied on the accurate judgment of the surrounding location and direction, and found the place where the monster killed the patrolling bandits before.

In fact, it is not difficult to find, as long as the flattened snow left by crawling along the ground along the Warcraft will be fine.

Although the surrounding light is not good, the softness of the snow under the feet is not deceiving.

At the scene where the monsters cannibalize people, he really found those human objects that the monsters detested. Tattered hides, no. No tattered clothes of the robbed people.

The little bits and pieces on the bandit, I want it. Bending broken weapons, yes.

Zhao Ji lit a torch, searched around here briefly, and found some valuables on the bandits. Most of them were scattered coins, but I even found a silver coin, which belonged to some young bandit who could save money.

But now it's his property.

He also picked and dismantled some of the bandits' weapons. He only wanted the metal parts of the weapons, and he didn't want anything else like gauntlets, handles, and wooden poles.

Putting everything into a backpack tied up with tattered animal skins, Zhao Ji followed the traces of the monsters and ran towards the bandits' winter camp that was screaming.

After the monster's huge and heavy body went up through the snow, the snow was compacted by it. Zhao Ji ran on it like flying. This kind of smooth "road" is something he has experienced in other places except on the main road of the town. Not gone.

He thought, if someone could subdue and tame this huge man-eating monster, he could let this monster do the work of making roads.

There is no need to do complicated procedures, just add a layer of strong iron plate under the body of the monster, and then let the monster crawl back and forth on the road.

Small stones on the road will be knocked to the side of the road, uneven ground will be forcibly flattened, and soft soil will be compacted tightly, making it easy for people to walk for at least ten years.

Coupled with the large size of the monster, it turns out that the dirt road built in the wilderness in Kendall County can be turned into a spacious avenue for four donkey carts at the same time in less than half a year.

Zhao Ji had a good idea here, but as he quickly ran near the bandit camp, with the help of the blazing campfire in the middle of the camp, Zhao Ji found that there were not many bandits left alive in the entire camp.

He hid in the dark woods, nowhere near the camp fires.

He didn't expect that the entire bandit camp would be so stretched. Back then, he could deal with monsters for a long time alone, but there were so many bandits here that he couldn't last even a quarter of an hour.

It seems that he is a bit of a gang of bandits who will hide here for the winter.

The level of the bandit in the pocket hole he mainly fought against before may not be low among bandits. Now think about it carefully, a gang of bandits with a staff of about one hundred people will not evacuate from the vicinity of Bingxun Pass every winter to avoid the militia's payment, and even a gang of bandits who are bold enough to fight in Bingxun Pass is indeed like It's not like an ordinary bandit gang.

If the bandits near Bingxun Pass were so bold, then the trade route of Bingxun Pass would be impossible to pass by.

Zhao Ji saw that the monsters were knocking down the bandits' tents, finding out the men and women who didn't wear much clothes inside, and devouring them one by one amidst their screams.

It's a bit cruel, but Zhao Ji was angry at those weak bandits who stood aside and looked on dryly. How ruthless were you when you swung your knives at the merchants and merchants?

Where did you go?

Zhao Ji now understands that these bandits are guys who only dare to wield butcher knives at people who are weaker than them. I hope that they will have the courage to risk their lives to kill the monsters, even if they are all killed. It is absolutely impossible to cause a little damage to Warcraft.

After judging the situation, Zhao Ji felt that the last few bandits would be finished soon, and by that time, there would be only two creatures left in the surrounding forest, he and the monster.

Thinking of this, he reached into the backpack on his back, avoiding the bent metal weapon that had just been put in, touched a small wooden bottle, took it out and opened it. Put the poured out frozen hard sugar ball into your mouth and hold it.

After the hard-shelled honey on the outside was melted by the temperature in his mouth and saliva, Zhao Ji chewed the dried red-eyed mushroom powder inside the sugar ball, mixed it with saliva and swallowed it into his stomach.

He hid in a nearby snow nest, climbed down, waited for the mysterious effect of the mushroom to take effect, and kept his eyes on the situation on the other side of the camp.

--

Back when Zhao Ji hurled his hunting sword through the fleeing bandits.

Zhao Ji put his hand on the back of the bandit's head, and pushed the man directly into the snow. Pulling out the long sword that pierced through the torso of the body, Zhao Ji wiped the opponent's neck with the long sword fiercely, completely destroying the bandit's possible counterattack opportunity.

Hot blood splashed on the snow on the ground, melting a lot of snow into blood mixed with blood, and then frozen into hard blood ice by the surrounding cold temperature.

He saw how the monster dealt with the human beings killed by it, so in order to avoid touching the relics of the bandits that were swallowed and spit out by the monsters, Zhao Ji stripped the slain bandit by himself, and the stripped clothes And so things are still in place.

Zhao Ji dragged the corpse of the bandit, which was gradually cooling down, to the open ground of the bandit camp.

I'll give you the food, don't bother me if you have nothing to do.

This is what Zhao Ji meant. He could feel that the monsters who had been chasing the escaped bandits were actually paying attention to his situation. This is for sure, that monster can accurately follow him in the windy and snowy mountain area. In this quiet and deserted forest snowy night, it is not as simple as finding out the situation on his side.

Slowly retreating into the dark forest, Zhao Ji withdrew his long sword and took the ax on his back in his hand. If that monster thinks that it can deal with him without losing two and a half legs and feet by killing some ordinary bandits like rotten fish and rotten shrimps, then let that monster try for itself.

It was to choose to 'play' with him for most of the night, and then retreat to another place. I still choose to pretend that I didn't see him as a tough guy, and go to eat some damn bandits who are easy to prey.

It can choose this multiple-choice question.

Zhao Ji is already ready for the Warcraft to choose the former.

He put the ax head on the handle and put it on his abdomen. I slowly realized the magical effect of using this mushroom in the quiet snowy night forest.

His mental thoughts are no longer here. From the little sugar pill he just took, he thought of the healing ointment that Jamura is good at, and remembered that Jamura once said that he had learned medicine systematically from a teacher in a big city outside Kendall. Knowledge.

Zhao Ji thought, if he leaves Kendall County in the future, should he take some time to learn about these medicines as well. In a different world with all kinds of magical animals and plants, those potions are definitely not just the ordinary effects of those potions in his previous life.

After all, if the knowledge of pharmacy has no magical effect, how can it be passed down in this world. After all, religious believers can go to various priests of the church to receive miraculous healing from divine arts. Even if you are not a religious believer, you can get the same therapeutic effect by spending more money.

Therefore, those knowledge and knowledge that are only taught and inherited in big cities must have many special features beyond imagination.
