Mercenaries and Adventurers

Keir went the other way.

So he had to chase towards the other end of the trace.

Fortunately, after chasing the traces left by the wild boars for half a day, when it was getting dark, the chaotic sounds of a large group of wild boars came from a small forest in the distance.

Keel saw that night was approaching, which was not a good time for hunting, so he took the initiative to ride away from here and found a place to settle down in a nearby mountain col that would not be blown by the wind.

The horses were equipped with various portable tools. Kil shoveled the snow from the ground where he was camping and piled it high on both sides. Then he picked up a small hatchet and chopped down a lone small tree nearby. Cutting the wood into small pieces, Keir started a fire.

There were some hay buried under the snow where the ground had been cleared of snow. Kiel shoveled them up, simply shook off the floating soil, and then fed them to the horses.

After taking off the horse's weight and riding harness, Gere patted the horse's head so that it wouldn't go far and stay nearby.

Then he took out the bread, heated it slightly over the fire, and then ate it. After he finished eating, he sat down by the fire and rested slowly.

The armor and weapons on his body could not be taken away. Kil was camping alone, so he woke up and took a short nap, then got up and patrolled the surroundings.

He continued like this intermittently until morning. After eating something, he moved around, then tidied up and left the place on horseback.

-

Following yesterday's route, he found the woods where the wild boars were found. After listening carefully for a while, Kil found that there was no movement among the wild boars in the woods. When I went in and took a look, I found that in the woods that had been ravaged by wild boars, there was snow and shallow soil lifted up by them everywhere.

Not seeing any wild boars, Keir guessed that they might have moved overnight or at dawn.

He circled around the small forest and soon found new traces of the wild boar.

The group of guys were moving along a small river that was frozen along the edge of the woods. As they walked, they also looked for animals hiding under the rocks by the river.

The horse under his crotch was not capable of stable riding and fighting, so Kil dismounted, picked up his weapon and sneaked over from a high place.

However, this was not the season when plants and animals flourished, and the wilderness in winter was completely silent. Although Kil was very careful not to let the wild boar see him directly, the sound of trampling the snow and scratching the bushes was still discovered by the alert wild boar.

"Hmph, hum."

The largest tusked wild boar was using its tusks to overturn a rock on the ground, and was about to chew the frogs, snakes and other things hibernating under the rock into its mouth, but the female wild boar standing guard around suddenly shouted loudly. He started to groan, which immediately put the entire tribe on alert.

The chirping sound is a warning to everyone that a predator is approaching.

As the leader of the group, the tusked wild boar immediately neighed loudly to let the other female wild boars take notice of the lively little wild boars. Then it shook its body and walked directly in the direction of the noise with heavy steps.

Kil knew the other party had discovered him as soon as he heard the wild boars' voices, but he didn't have any good long-range weapons, so he wasn't afraid that the wild boars would notice the traces in advance and be alert.

After all, it is impossible to hunt in close combat without being discovered by wild boars.

Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps approaching, Kil poked his head out from the hillside to look at the wild boar, and directly looked into the eyes of a huge wild boar that was walking over.

So big.

This was Kil's first reaction to the wild boar. Then he realized that he had been exposed, so he walked out of his hiding place.

The wild boar opposite weighed several hundred kilograms, and had strong and powerful hooves. Its body was covered with rough skin and black-gray hair. It had no neck, and its head accounted for about one-third of the entire body.

Every time the strong hooves move, they will leave a deep indentation on the ground.

"Is he the leader of this group of wild boars? Looking at the size, although it is a bit big, cutting it in half can feed two sunken fish at a time."

Kil drew his spear from his back.

The metal tip of this wooden spear was sharpened by him. The overall weight was not too heavy and it was suitable for use as a throwing weapon.

Looking at the leader of the wild boar group who was grunting and walking towards him, Keir ran up the hillside first.

The huge wild boar also changed its direction immediately, and at the same time its hooves flew, and it gradually increased its speed.

If it were lighter and had the same build as the male wild boars in the group that were driven away as soon as they reached adulthood, it would be able to move very fast.

Unfortunately, although that kind of body is capable of movement, it cannot gain an advantage in the confrontation for the leader within the group. Every male of its kind that challenged its status in the past years would be impaled by its strong tusks, or squeezed to the ground by its heavy body.

This huge and heavy body allows it to be unafraid of challenges from its own kind, as well as the sharp teeth and claws of wild beasts in the wilderness.

Even the Northern wolves, which have often swept across the wilderness around the lake area in recent years, can't do anything to it. Unfortunately, the females and piglets in the group are no match. Every time they deal with wolves, they will suffer losses.

Fortunately, the losses are within an acceptable level.

It looked at the escaping human and continued to howl cautiously, telling the female wild boars that accepted its rule to keep an eye on themselves and their cubs so as not to be attacked by possible human accomplices.

-

Of course, Kil also saw wild boars gathered in a group high on the hillside. He licked the corner of his mouth and thought about how much money he could get for selling fresh meat in Kendall City after killing such a group of wild boars.

But just thinking about it, after all, he is only one person and has no ability to transport the wild boars after slaughtering them.

If there were twenty or so people under his command, they could drive the entire group of wild boars near the village. But he didn't, so he could only think about it.

Kil ran all the way to the top of the hillside and looked at the huge wild boar in the distance that was grunting and trying to climb up. He took the spear in his hand, took a slight aim, and then stood still.

Suddenly, he saw the opportunity when the huge wild boar's hoof slipped, and without taking a run, he swung his body and arms and projected the spear.

The distance between him and the giant wild boar was less than 30 meters, so he still used his height to hit his lower body. His spear drew a small arc that was almost a straight line, and the gun penetrated into the shoulder and back of the giant wild boar.

Although the body tissue of the wild boar is very thick, Kiel's shot also penetrated the entire steel tip.

"Hey! Duluulu!"

The giant wild boar was attacked, and its body twisted in place under the severe pain, and its entire body slid down the hillside.

The wild boar slid faster and faster on the snow-covered hillside. In the end, it failed to maintain its balance and rolled directly.

The huge wild boar rumbled all the way down, and Kil watched happily at first, secretly feeling that although the wild boar was big, it didn't have much brains. But when the rolling wild boar knocked the spear pole stuck on his back to the ground, Keir felt that he was at a loss.

"Hey, hey, my gun barrel!"

He couldn't help but slide down from the top of the hillside.

-

The huge wild boar rolled over and fell onto the frozen creek at the foot of the hillside. Its huge weight smashed the entire frozen ice surface on the creek to pieces.

Small pieces of broken ice filled the sky.

But although it looked lively, when the rolling stopped, the huge wild boar just shook its head and easily got up from the ground.

It first scolded the group of wild boars that were trying to get closer, then swung its huge tusks, shaking its head, and rushed straight towards the humans sliding down the hillside.

Although its excessive weight makes it less agile than other male wild boars, it can still make short, high-speed attacks.

No beast in this wilderness can stop it, and even some monsters with strange abilities dare not face this attack.

Keir looked at the huge wild boar that was charging straight towards him from the ground. Naturally, he would not just crash into it stupidly. First, he slowed down his sliding speed, then changed his direction and dodged to the side.

The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, pointing at the giant wild boar in the distance.

Boom, boom, boom.

The giant wild boar ran rampant, knocking away the bushes and rocks between it and Keel. Although it looked a little embarrassed, it was even more powerful.

The distance between Kil and the wild boar became closer and closer, but he smiled under his visor.

Just when the giant wild boar was about to knock over Kil, Kil jumped out diagonally, out of the way of the wild boar's tusks.

As soon as it landed, the long sword slashed out a semicircular white arc, leaving a long scar on the upper left front leg of the giant wild boar.

Although the fur and fat muscles of the wild boar are very defensive, Keir's long sword is also not bad. The magical weapon that cuts through the northern wolf is like chopping vegetables. It can still easily break through an ordinary wild boar that is just huge in size. The opponent's physical defense.

The sword cut deeply into the inside of the huge wild boar's left front leg, and even the tip of the sword slightly brushed against the bone. The flesh burst open, and a large amount of blood instantly poured out of the wound. The sword just cut off part of the large blood vessels on its left front leg.

After slashing out with his sword, Kil quickly took advantage of the huge wild boar groaning in pain and continued to run down the hillside, following the safe path that the huge wild boar had taken when it rushed over.

The bushes, rocks, and snow blocking the road were knocked over and knocked over. Keir trotted along the road and came to the edge of the frozen river.

Turning around, he saw that the huge wild boar was bleeding out from its wounds, but compared to the opponent's huge body, it didn't seem to be very important. With an increasingly violent howl, the giant wild boar charged toward Kiel again.

It only has one trick, but it's always worked before.

No matter how flexible and cruel the beast is, as long as it is hit by it in the constant impact, the opponent will most likely die on the spot. Although it is scarred, its strong physique can save its life.

This time, it didn't feel like an exception either.

Looking at the huge wild boar charging at him again, Kil shook off the blood on his long sword, touched from behind, and took out the 'water-crossing head' stuck behind his back, leaving only the ax face and the rope.

Normally, after the weapon lost its ax handle, it ignored him at all, and would give him a kick if he wanted to practice throwing it.

And now?

This huge wild boar is a good opponent.

Gere swung the short, thick rope connected to the ax head, rounding it to gather strength. Sure enough, this time there was no resistance as before. It was obvious that the ax without the handle regarded the huge wild boar on the opposite side as an opponent.

The whistling sound of wind was brought out from the rotation of the axe. Kil quickly swung the axe three times, and then threw the axe out impatiently.

I had to throw it out, because the huge wild boar on the opposite side had already rushed over from above.

This time, the huge wild boar was injured in the leg, which affected the speed of the attack, but the pain made it even more violent. A pair of small eyes were fierce, the boss had an open mouth with huge bite force, and the fangs were irregular. Swinging at the front, two round pig noses spurted white air.

There was only a perfunctory layer of blue light on the axe's surface. After being thrown by Kiel, it only advanced one meter and then spun in the air.

Neither advances nor falls.

This almost shocked Kil's eyes. He didn't know what the weapon was doing.

At this time, Kil realized what Knight Lanessa and Knight Crow meant when they said that spiritual weapons were not easy to use. Indeed, the spiritual weapon seemed to have a good chance of creating a reversible record in the battles that Kil participated in, but its ups and downs made Kil feel very embarrassed.

But no matter what the 'water-crossing head' ax was going to do, Kil had to retreat back and be prepared to dodge.

He was not worried about having a tug-of-war with this huge beast, because compared to the nimble and cunning Northern Wolf, although this huge wild boar was powerful and heavy, its movements were too cumbersome. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, he could easily dodge it. Stay away.

The giant wild boar went down the hillside and crashed straight into Kiel. Naturally, it saw a blue gadget that was thrown by Kiel and then fixed in the air, but it didn't take it seriously, no matter what was in front of it. , it is confident that it can knock them away.

However, just as the giant wild boar rushed over, the rotating ax changed its motion in mid-air and lowered slightly, avoiding the wild boar's huge tusks that were sweeping randomly, and went directly into the opponent's open mouth.

There was something wrong about getting in. It should still be standing there, just lowering slightly. The giant wild boar was moving and swallowed the ax that was spinning in its mouth.

"Oh." Kil exclaimed, and for a moment he seemed to be able to imagine what happened next.

As he expected, the huge wild boar that had just swallowed the ax spinning in the air failed to take a few more steps. First, its face was full of pain, and then it vomited a large amount of blood and broken internal organs from its mouth. organize.

His four hooves also lost strength, and he fell to the ground after two steps. His whole body slid down the sloping hillside for several meters.

The back of the huge wild boar vibrated rapidly as the body slid downwards, and then the flesh and blood burst open, and the blue ax that was still spinning in place broke out from the back of the huge wild boar.

The blue light on the ax surface shook, repelling all the flesh and blood stained on the axe.

In the faint blue light, the phantom heads of multiple monsters were slightly revealed from the blue light on the axe. They stretched their necks and bit into the body of the huge wild boar underneath.

Kil couldn't see clearly and didn't know what they were doing, but the weight ball at the end of the hilt of the long sword in his hand flashed with light, and a ripple that was difficult to see with the naked eye was released from the weight ball and swept across a small area around it. .

Suddenly, Keir could see more information in front of him.

The monster heads emerging from the ax are biting and dragging the hazy shadow of the wild boar on the huge wild boar carcass.

That stupid guy probably didn't know what happened. The shadow still looked arrogant and menacing, but it was quickly bitten and dragged out of the corpse by the monster shadows. Then, Another half body of a 'monster' crawled out of the axe.

Kil immediately recognized it as the spider-shaped monster he had fought before.

This made him open his eyes.

As soon as the shadow of this spider-shaped monster appeared, multiple limbs came out to disperse the shadow of the huge wild boar.

The smaller monster phantoms each held part of the wild boar phantom fragments in their mouths and retracted into the blue light ax surface, while the spider-shaped monster slowly projected multiple white threads from the blue light, catching some scattered wild boar phantom fragments. He stopped and quickly pulled back the ax.

Some scattered phantom fragments hit Kil, making him feel slightly cold. However, as the power of the God of Agriculture circulated in his body, the discomfort disappeared instantly.

"What's going on? Is that a soul? Why can I see it?"

He asked three questions in succession, but no one could give him an accurate answer to Kiel's question.

But one thing he knew was that with one blow of his two-handed axe, the 'Overwater Head' directly killed the wild boar with a huge flaw.

Keir shook his head: "I can kill that guy myself in a few hits."

The blue light on the ax surface in the air converged, and then stopped rotating. After falling from the air, it stuck straight on the ground.

Gill walked into the completely dead huge wild boar with his mouth flat, and first picked up the clean ax with both hands. He could vaguely hear some sound. Curiously, he put the ax head close to his ear, and heard a chewing sound that he didn't know if it was real.

There was more than one chewing sound, and it seemed that the monsters inside the ax were preparing their meal.

"What's the matter?" He shook his head, and he took advantage of it and put the ax back into the weapon buckle on the back of the armor and fixed it.

Approaching the huge wild boar's mouth, Kil lifted up the pig's face and looked inside the wild boar's mouth. He found that from the mouth, the tongue to the throat, everything was in tatters, and the internal organs inside were probably torn apart by the rotation of the axe. .

"I didn't expect that the battle could be like this." He muttered to himself, and then heard a chaotic sound behind him. He turned around and saw that the other wild boars in the wild boar community had confirmed from a distance that the leader had been defeated. .

This made the entire group of wild boars panic. Soon, a large group of dozens of wild boars scattered, each led by one or two strong female wild boars, and scattered in search of strong male wild boars wandering in the surrounding wilderness.

Kil had the intention to cut down a few more of the largest sows, but when he turned around and saw the huge wild boar next to him, which weighed at least several hundred kilograms, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

How should he bring this huge wild boar carcass back to Wumihu Village?
