Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kil himself was extremely surprised that the ax thrown was so powerful and unexpectedly powerful. It seemed to have its own thinking and personality, and the continuous fierce battle aroused its inner strength.

Perhaps, this is the power of this ax many years ago?

Although Gere was surprised and inexplicably surprised, he followed his feelings and the knowledge he gained from the bards and theatrical performances in the tavern. He planted his feet firmly, then released the shield in his left hand and dropped it, with his free hands stretched straight forward and his palms open.

He muttered silently: "Come back, Yueshui Head! Come back, my weapon, you are my weapon, answer me, fight with me!"

The collision of lips made a sound that even he couldn't hear, but the corresponding words were extremely clear in Kil's own heart.

The two-handed ax that was flying randomly in the rock passage on the opposite side seemed to be inspired by some kind of inspiration. The rotating and flying ax obviously paused in the air, and then whizzed straight towards Kiel in the opposite direction of the rotation.

"Kiel be careful!"

"It's flying back! Get out of the way!"

Although the fellow hunters were shocked by the miraculous performance of Kil's axe, they still reminded little Kil on the wooden wall when they saw the scene.

However, Kil did not respond. Unlike others who only heard the huge whistling sound of the ax whirling in their ears, Kil himself heard more than them. The huge whistling sound also included many monsters. the sound of. Some of them he had never heard of, some of them he still remembered, and some of them he didn't want to think about at all.

The slowness of everything around him was reflected in his eyes. Looking at the spinning ax gradually approaching in front of him, Keir forced himself to stabilize his mind while constantly adjusting the position of his arms, trying to catch the ax when it came in front of him.

Although he quickly realized in his mind that if he didn't catch it properly, he would be chopped into pieces from the front by a powerful axe. But Keir is also confident that he from another world will not die here and now.

If it was an accident that he came to another world, then he firmly believed that man could conquer nature, and he would definitely surrender the weapon in front of him.

If it was not an accident that he came to another world, then he believed in destiny and his story would never stop at this point.

bring it on! bring it on!

Kil's red eyes widened and his whole body tensed up, ready to catch the flying weapon.

-

Unexpectedly, the seemingly menacing weapon suddenly slowed down when it flew two meters in front of him. The whirling sound disappeared, and the entire blue halo slowly emitted. Store it back on the blue axe.

The long wooden ax handle was like the tail of a well-behaved and obedient puppy. It changed its position and was directly sent into his open palm with a bang.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the hunters heaved a sigh of relief.

"Well done! Kil."

"Give those northern wolves another try, look, they are timid and scared!"

Indeed, as the hunters said, due to the random whirling of the ax just now, the remains of the huge rocks in front were covered with pieces of northern wolf meat that had been smashed into minced pieces. This frightened the other northern wolves who originally wanted to attack.

These cunning and ferocious beasts are extremely proactive when faced with forces they can understand. They have the courage to fight even if they are not opponents. However, when they see forces they cannot understand like just now, these animals hide their lives. Instinct tells them: Stop! careful! That thing is deadly! return to! Observe again! Let your powerful companions test it out!

These contents, in a collective subconscious way, made the remaining northern wolves gathered together stay in place without any movement.

Meanwhile, Keir held the handle of the ax with both hands.

A blue light emitted slightly from the blue ax head. Although it didn't look like it had released a lot of power at this time, Kil knew that he could switch it out at any time and burst out.

The strange thing is that from the moment he caught the axe, the cry of the spider-shaped monster from before echoed faintly in his ears.

After stroking the ax, Kil placed it into the armor slot behind him.

The screams of the monster slowly became lower, and Kil breathed a sigh of relief.

He pulled out the long sword stuck on the ground and put it back into its scabbard, then picked up the shield and put it on his left arm.

The northern wolves who found the entrance to the passage in front seemed to be frightened and did not try to attack again at this time. I don’t know how long they will stay like this, but Keir is not idle at this time.

He picked up the spear and carefully pulled the wolf corpses in the passages back by grabbing their tails with his left hand. They had dismantled the simple wooden ladders leading in and out of the wooden wall and used them as firewood. Keir had no choice but to lift the corpses one by one and let the young hunter above bend down to grab them and carry them in.

The arrows on the wolf carcass will be pulled out and wiped clean before being used again. The corpses will be piled directly at the bottom of the wooden wall, waiting to be burned as firewood.

When Kiln approached the entrance of the passage, Kiln unexpectedly discovered that as he approached, the Northern Wolf not far away would even take a few steps back and stare at him with an inexplicable look.

Kil knew that these guys were not afraid of him, but the ax behind his back. Kil himself was actually a little afraid, but he would repeat the words silently in his heart, "This is your weapon, because of you, The owner of the ax brought it out of the darkness and gave it to you, and you fought with it, never breaking the covenant you made with the giver.

You have a clear conscience, so there is nothing to be afraid of. It is only natural for you to use your weapon to kill the enemy.

Just like this, the small battlefield fell into silence. Kil also returned to the bottom of the wooden wall, turned the spear upside down, handed the tail of the spear to his companions above, and asked them to work together to pull him up.

"Hey, hey, Keel, you are really heavy."

"Really, I just realized that little Kil is so heavy. What's going on."

Kil held the edge of the wooden wall with his hands, supported the wooden wall with one hand, and pulled the wooden pole of the spear with the other hand, and the whole person turned up.

He chuckled: "The more you eat, the faster you grow. The weapons also become heavier."

Standing in the center of the wooden wall, Kiel rested on the edge of the wooden wall.

This was obviously a rare break in the battle, and everyone understood it, so they all took the time to rest.

Some rubbed their arms, trying to relax their arms and relieve muscle fatigue from continuous shooting. Some people felt uncomfortable in their stomachs and ran down quickly, finding a corner in the passage behind them for convenience.

Some people, like Keir, take advantage of the gaps and keep mouthing, as if the smell of blood in the air doesn't exist, eating food that they don't know if they will be able to eat tomorrow.

The four old hunters came up behind Kiel, talking to him curiously, and observing the blue ax face of the ax that Kiel carried behind his back, which was constantly emitting blue light.

"So, this ax is still a few years old?" an old hunter asked, gently pressing his fingers against the image of the monster on the axe.

Kil nodded: "Yes, I heard Blacksmith Bodel say that this is a treasure passed down from their family. I used to hunt down goblins in the village and killed a hundred of them. The blacksmith gave it to me as a gift. He said He won’t be able to use it anyway, and he will definitely forge better weapons in the future.”

After saying that, Kil shrugged and felt that it seemed a bit difficult with the skills of Blacksmith Bodel. Moreover, the magic of this weapon was released at this time, and it seemed that it would be even more difficult to create a weapon that surpassed it.

After a pause, Kil thought for a moment and said, "But it's not his home in Dorallin Village, but his ancestors before they moved to the kingdom."

The old hunters nodded in understanding: "No wonder, I know Blacksmith Bodel. I am from Dorallin Village, but I didn't expect that their ancestors had such weapons in the empire. Judging from the forging technology of the empire, , it’s actually not an exaggeration.”

"Look at the monster heads here, the first three are inlaid with special heads made of copper, while the remaining ones seem to have been carved on by someone." The old hunter pointed to this ax and said.

Although Kil couldn't see behind him, he knew what they were talking about: "That's right, that's right. The three monster heads inlaid on it are what the ax originally had. It should be that the original owner of the ax once defended his hometown. The monsters I killed were the monsters I defeated myself.”

Gere also explained: "To be honest, the remaining monster image was not made by myself, but by the weapon itself. There is a sentence left by the original owner on the other side."

The old hunter turned the ax over and asked the old guy among them who was literate because of his belief in the God of Hunting to read the text on it: "Wood spirits, water monsters, dark beasts, all are slain by my axe."

A few of them then dropped the topic of axes and turned to topics about wood spirits, water monsters, and dark beasts.

Kil listened very carefully. After all, he was not a real local. He didn't know most of the stories and news that these old guys had heard all their lives.

In Keir's understanding, the so-called wood spirit is probably something similar to a tree spirit that has been transformed into a demon.

From the words of the old hunters, he learned that the wood spirits that Kil knew were actually more commonly known as Warcraft. The meaning of Warcraft also included other types besides animals, such as plants, aquatic, Nature itself is included in the words of Warcraft.

The single word "wood spirit" specifically refers to a special thing in the empire.

It is a strange monster formed by the collective consciousness of an entire forest of plants. In the stories heard by old hunters, if a forest goes through a fire that burns all the trees, or is cut down by someone or a race in a short period of time, this kind of tree will be born in the place of the original forest. A monster named Wood Spirit.

It is said to be a monster, but it is invisible and formless. Most people will be silently killed by it when they step into the original forest. But if no one disturbs it, the wood spirit will use its own power to regenerate the original forest after a period of time.

Of course, those are all legends, but the old hunters and their friends and relatives have never seen a real wood spirit.

I don’t know why the original owner of this ax wanted to attack the so-called wood spirit.

On the axe, the wood spirit is represented as a broken branch radiating a halo. It seems to be somewhat consistent with the image of the wood spirit mentioned by the old hunters.

The second monster image is the water monster.

As a native of Kendall County, which has a large river in its territory, the old hunters are no strangers to water monsters. Different from the stories of water monsters in other areas that wreak havoc and hurt people, Kendall County has a high priest who is the god of rivers and lakes, so the image of the water monster is somewhat different.

In the upper reaches of the Kendall River, there are real water monsters in the river, but they do not hurt people. On the contrary, they will rescue humans who fall into the water and attack other animals who want to cross the river.

On the contrary, some big fish in the water are quite violent and often attack humans. However, this would not cause any reaction from the two senior priests. After all, in the eyes of the Church of the God of Rivers and Lakes, it is normal for people to eat fish and fish to eat people.

Four old hunters said that they have all seen water monsters in the river. Because this is not a story or legend, they often patrol and hunt on the north side of Hekou Town. Once they are chased by unbeatable prey, they will go to the Kendall River. While running, as long as you reach the river, you will be safe. No matter how cruel those animals are, they will not chase you to the river.

Once the prey loses its mind and really wants to chase it, the old hunters will jump into the river and swim to the center of the river. If the prey dares to chase it, it won't take long before the thing suddenly sinks into the water and disappears without a trace.

Speaking of this, old hunters all said that when the water monster attacks animals, there are long black shadows in the water, and it seems that the water monster has many long tentacles.

As for water monsters rescuing humans who have fallen into the water, the four old hunters who can swim said they have never seen it, maybe because they don't need rescue.

This makes them feel quite sorry.

The last dark beast, the image of the copper plate inlaid on the ax is quite abstract, it is a one-eyed beast head, and there are arrows pointing towards the beast head around it.

At first glance, it looked like someone was shooting that thing again. But if you touch the name of the dark beast carefully, you can understand that those arrows do not represent real bow and arrow arrows, but represent that this monster will absorb the surrounding light?

Old hunters have never seen this thing, and even the related stories and legends are very rare. Only one old hunter said that this kind of thing appeared in a performance he saw when he was a child.

Dark beasts will hide in the dark when they are small. No matter how bright humans are, they cannot be found at night. Once the Dark Beasts grow up, they will eliminate the light in large areas around them no matter day or night, making it completely impossible to see. This kind of monster is powerful, but it completely conflicts with the more powerful Sun God Church. The church has been hunting this kind of monster. Now, in all the areas covered by the Human Sun God Church, there is no trace of the dark beast.

While listening to the old hunters talking, Kil was smacking his hands behind his back, wondering where the original owner of the cross-water-headed two-handed ax was and how he could kill such a powerful monster.

Just hearing that the enemy of the Dark Beast is the huge Sun God Church tells us that this kind of monster should be really powerful.

-

It was noon as Kiel and the others were on alert.

Although the previous attack was frightened off by the powerful display of Kil's axe, the Northern Wolves have been surrounding the entrance of the passage. Not only that, other northern wolves also circled the entire rocky mountain many times, repeatedly confirming that these humans were really guarding this place.

Being smart and cunning, they saw the human plan, which was to use the narrow terrain to consume their numbers along the way. This left the Northland wolves with nothing to do, but they were not worried.

Because as long as their wolf king takes action, the obstacles created by humans will disappear in a moment.

Therefore, while Kiel and the others were resting and on guard, the other northern wolves were paying attention to the battle between the human knights and their wolf king in the open space between the forest and the rocky mountain in the distance.

The battle between the two is not the kind of fierce battle with climaxes. Although the fighting level is indeed very high, the battle between them is more of repeated collision and testing, confrontation, fighting, withdrawal, and collision and testing again.

The human knight rode a tall armored war horse, and he also had thick armor that the northern wolves did not have. The Wolf King fought several times and hit the horse and knight, but only left a few scratches on the armor.

During the battle, Lanissa Knight was also affected by the former fur of the Wolf King flying in the air many times. When the Wolf King repeatedly jumps on the ground at high speed, the fur flying in the air will constantly intersect with it under its control. It affected Knight Lanessa's judgment many times, making the female knight mistakenly believe that the target of her attack was the real Wolf King. However, after the weapon hit, she discovered that there was nothing under the empty wolf skin.

At this time, the real wolf king will take the opportunity to attack Lanissa Knight.

After doing this three times, Knight Lanisa became fierce and kept chasing the flying wolf skin of the Wolf King.

The Wolf King saw that the fur under his control was regarded as the main target of attack by the human female knight, so he controlled the thing to fly into the sky. But it didn't expect that Knight Lanisa jumped off the horse, jumped up with strength on the spot, and flew higher than the Wolf King's fur in an instant.

She opened the one-handed heavy sword she had been carrying behind her back and threw it heavily sideways.

Huhhhhhhh.

The heavy sword was thrown horizontally by the knight using special skills. After hitting the fur in the air, it used its powerful force to carry the fur straight to the ground.

The Wolf King guessed that his fur could not be saved, so he immediately gave up controlling the fur, turned around and ran towards the war horse left on the ground by the human female knight.

As a result, there was a whistle in the sky, and the trotting war horse started running quickly after hearing it. The wolf king could not catch up. He could only watch the human knight hit the ground hard and create a snow pit on the ground, and then he grabbed it and ran away from the side. The war horse passed.

On the other side, the Wolf King's fur, which was knocked down by the knight with his one-handed heavy sword, also fell to the side at the same time. Knight Lanissa rushed over on horseback and picked up the Wolf King's fur wrapped in the one-handed heavy sword with her spear.

This thing was still trying to fly away and return to the Wolf King, but a rather heavy one-handed epee was hung on its fur, making its flight as slow as dragging a person.

After picking up the fur, Knight Lanissa held the one-handed heavy sword in one hand and the spear in the other. She spread out her arms and directly tore the white fur of the Wolf King into two pieces.

Until then, the empty Wolf King fur seemed to be dead and no longer floating in the air.

-

Opposite him, the Wolf King growled and rubbed his teeth, the fur on his abdomen twitching, looking very angry. But then, three white shadows once again rose from the forest behind it.

Those were three more pieces of pure white fur flying in the air.

Knight Lanisa opened her visor and spat out a mouthful of bloody spit: "You've shown your real skills. Bah, even if you shed your skin once a year, I think you can still have a few more!"

Closing the metal visor, she accelerated her horse and rushed towards the Wolf King of the North, deciding to give the Wolf King a hard blow before three shadows flew from the distance.
