Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kil felt that he was careless and shouldn't have said anything to the werewolf Wolf just now.

The werewolf on the opposite side turned around and climbed up the big tree behind him as soon as Keir finished speaking. Kil immediately pursued him, but the sword he swung only cut off half of the werewolf's tail and half of its foot.

With the pain in his mouth howling, the werewolf used his hands and feet, his claws dug into the bark of the tree, and then used his strength to climb up quickly.

In just one breath, the werewolf Wolf climbed to a height of seven or eight meters, and even if his head was hit by the branches of the tree trunk, he climbed up regardless of it.

There are about ten people surrounding this big tree, and a small house can even be built inside the thick trunk. When the werewolf climbed to a height of tens of meters, no matter how loudly Kil cursed at the root of the tree, he ignored it.

The wounds on the wolf's tail and the chopped-off foot quickly stopped bleeding, and then a finger-thick thick blood of plasma gushed out from the wounds. The plasma rolled and twisted on the wound, causing Wolf the greater pain while rapidly healing and regenerating the missing limbs.

Under the tree, Keir viciously slashed at the trunk with his sword, but just like an earthworm shaking a tree, more than ten sword blows would only cut through the thick bark of this big tree.

This made Kil very angry.

He was angry that the werewolf was so lucky to encounter such a big tree in a desperate situation, and he was also angry that he was too talkative. Just now, he should have rushed over to the opponent when he couldn't run and killed the opponent by force.

The current situation would not be so embarrassing.

He picked up the broken half of the opponent's wolf tail and put it into his backpack. Then he chopped off half of the opponent's foot with his sword to vent his anger.

He raised the sword high and guided the white light from the sword to shine on the front end as much as possible. After the light shone toward the tip of the sword in front of him as he intended, Kil could clearly see the werewolf lying on the fork of a high branch, carefully hugging the trunk and chewing on the branch. , whispering the pain of endurance.

In this way, Kil felt better. He brought the horse beside him, and then taunted the werewolf above: "Werewolves are described as very powerful in legends, but why do I think it's just that?"

Soon, the rebuttal from above came: "I was just careless. I didn't expect you to have such a powerful weapon. Huh, uh, if it weren't for this weapon, how could I be like this? Just wait, I can feel it in my eyes. You are slowly recovering, as long as I can see you, you will be dead!"

Kil sneered disdainfully: "Then you can try, can my weapon blind you again? Unless your eyes are healed, you dare not open them when fighting me."

"Hahahaha, how about your eyes? Are they useless? Are you afraid to open them? Speaking of which, after killing you, if you don't change back to a human, and Knight Lanisa doesn't want you either As for the corpse, I plan to make you a specimen and give it to an elder who likes to collect monster specimens."

"I think it would be nice to get a rare full-body specimen of a werewolf, right?"

These words angered Wolf, the werewolf on the tree: "You damn little thing! You are no match for me at all! Except for knights, aren't all of you ordinary people capable of being crushed to death with just a pinch from me?" Just a chicken!"

"Hehehehe, when my eyes heal, I will pounce down and bite your horse to death so that you can't keep up with me. I will first eat those smelly fishermen, and then kill them one by one. People in the village! I will run away if I am discovered, and all the merchants on the road in Kendall County will be killed by me. Haha, after annoying those knights, I will leave here. Maybe you have to leave here too. Haha , you didn’t complete the task that woman gave you, and so many people died, you can think about it, will you be hanged?”

"Kil, Kil, I said, we are the same kind of people. Except for those knights, this Kendal County cannot accommodate other people. The only people who can live here are the nobles and knights who are lords. There are those peasants who are ruled.”

Keir didn't say anything, just silently took off the 'water-crossing head' from behind.

"You can definitely become a werewolf like me. You don't know how good it is after becoming a werewolf. You have infinite strength and can change anytime and anywhere. And the regrettable diseases will never invade you again. Injuries will grow back quickly."

"What's the price?" Kil asked coldly.

"Becoming someone like you? Cannibalizing human flesh and blood, killing innocent people indiscriminately, hiding in a remote village in darkness, and then taking pleasure in secretly killing one or two innocent people?"

His words became colder and colder: "Answer me, Ruf Wolf. Are you still a human? Wouldn't you feel disgusted if you eat people?"

The werewolf in the tree chewed up the branch he was holding in his mouth to relieve pain.

"Fangs and sharp mouth! Don't you humans also eat other captive animals? What's wrong with me eating some humans?" It first replied angrily, and then laughed weirdly in a low voice.

"Besides, don't you think that a village with a wall around it looks like a pasture for livestock? The other people in the village who interact with me every day, haha, in my eyes, aren't they all the ones who can talk? Fresh meat?”

"Hahahaha, the looks of those guys, I really don't know what their expressions will be like when I peel open their chests and remove their internal organs to taste them?" At the end of the sentence, Wolfman, the werewolf, laughed wildly.

It freely expressed to Keir the thoughts and conversations that had been suppressed in his heart for many years without feeling there was any problem.

Gere felt the same way.

Because they all understand that as these unnecessary unspoken words are really spoken, only one of them can survive.

Keir could not let this shabby guy escape. Not only that he would not be able to complete Knight Lanissa's mission, but also that if this guy really did what he said and went around killing innocent people in Kendall County, then he himself would be in trouble. The trouble would be huge.

The werewolf Wolf couldn't let the guy who heard the secret in his heart leave. Maybe he couldn't hide his identity in Wumihu Village from now on, but the words in his heart shouldn't be known to the second person.

-

Kil hung the shield in his left hand on his waist, and then switched the weapons on his left and right hands.

The heavy ax was rotated by the rope, making a whistling sound.

The surface of the ax emits a faint blue color, and after being swung around, a blue halo appears.

Wolf, the werewolf on the tree, seemed to feel something. He stuck his head down and peered down with eyes that were still stinging but could barely see anything.

It didn't see the others, but it could barely make out the two weapons that glowed on their own.

'Oops! ’

It thought that one weapon could cause blindness, while the other weapon looked like a throwing weapon.

I don't know if he has any special abilities.

Afraid of being knocked down by Kil's weapon, the werewolf Wolf immediately turned around and climbed higher up the tree.

At the same time, Kil threw the ax directly towards the height of the tree.

He didn't aim, he just threw the ax upwards as hard as he could, because he believed that this spiritual weapon would find the only enemy here and attack.

Sure enough, as Kil expected, after the ax was thrown, it quickly spun and flew upwards. After it was more than ten meters high, it immediately turned in a direction and hit the werewolf in the middle.

But the werewolf focused all his attention on this weapon. A moment ago, he was surprised that Kil threw the weapon so casually, as if there was no possibility of hitting it, but then he found that the weapon would turn to attack on its own. It was so frightened that it quickly ran up the tree trunk with both hands and feet, avoiding the whirling ax heading towards its waist.

After a crackling sound, a large piece of thick bark exploded, causing Keir and the horse under the tree to take a few steps back.

Yueshui's head missed with one blow, but the attack did not stop.

As if it was certain to kill him, the metal ax embedded in the wooden layer of the tree trunk shone brightly, and then broke free from the stuck wood and flew out directly, spinning and spinning in the air.

The divergent blue light converged, but the ax turned faster and faster, as if it was aimed again at the werewolf climbing higher up the tree.

Then it suddenly accelerated and spun rapidly towards the werewolf again, aiming directly at the werewolf's head.

The werewolf Wolf was so frightened that he turned his head and looked behind him. He saw the deadly ax flying towards him with blurred vision. He suddenly became violent and kicked the tree trunk with both feet, regardless of the fact that one foot was still broken and was being reborn.

The entire werewolf immediately turned around and pounced from the air towards the deadly danger coming towards it.

Two arms stretched straight out, making a whistling swinging sound, and grabbed the ax fiercely with the sharp claws on the fingertips.

At that moment, the werewolf who turned around and rushed towards him collided with the spinning ax in the air.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Eight sounds of solid objects colliding together almost merged into one sound, followed by the sound of flesh and blood twisting as the werewolf's fingers were mauled.

But the ferocious werewolf opened its mouth and bit the ax slowed down by its fleshy hands straight into its mouth full of sharp teeth.

A squeaking sound came from its wolf mouth. This was not the sound of the werewolf clenching his teeth with all his strength, but the twisted sound of the tooth roots deep in the wolf's mouth being unable to withstand the force, causing the tooth roots to break and flesh to fly out.

call.

After all, the ax is not wielded by a warrior in his hand. The power generated by its own weight and strength alone is not the opponent of a werewolf who is a monster.

Perhaps, there is also the reason why the werewolf Wolf tried his best to survive in death.

The werewolf clenched the blue glowing ax surface with its mouth full of broken teeth and flesh. Without the force of the ax's recoil, the body gradually accelerated and fell downwards.

Boom! It hit a thick branch, and the violent impact caused a little blood to gush out from the mouth holding the ax.

Boom, it slowed down just now. This time it stretched out its bloody hands and hugged it tightly after hitting the branch.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho, hoo. Bah." The werewolf was seriously injured, but he let out a weird laugh.

But Kil opened his hands toward the werewolf not far away, calling loudly for his weapon in his heart.

The werewolf's expression changed, and the ax in his mouth suddenly exerted a downward force, which surprised him. Not daring to waste any more opportunities, he immediately endured the severe pain all over his body, turned around and climbed up the tree, away from Kil under the tree.

Its ten fingers, except for the thumbs of both hands, were all chopped into pieces of flesh and blood by the axe. Therefore, the werewolf Wolf had no choice but to use the sharp claws on his thumbs to pierce the bark of the tree, slowly. Climb higher up the tree.

Although it seemed that the werewolf was seriously injured, the broken flesh and blood on the finger quickly stopped bleeding, and the surging plasma connected the fragments of the finger together.

The mouth of the wolf holding the blue ax stopped bleeding, and even a little blood flowed back from the broken teeth and roots.

The injuries healed quickly, and even the broken teeth were itching and healing slowly but continuously.

As the werewolf slowly climbed higher and higher, the force generated by the ax in its mouth gradually weakened, until the straight-line distance between it and Keir exceeded more than thirty meters, and the ax in its mouth showed no change.

The blue light emitted from the originally blue ax surface also gradually disappeared.

In addition to vaguely hearing some dissatisfied roars and roars in my middle ears.

But it didn't care. It inserted the silent ax into the trunk of the tree with its mouth, and then kicked it deep into the trunk with its only intact foot, leaving it firmly stuck in the wood.

"Wolf! You are so despicable!"

Under the tree, the angry shouts of the boy Keir could be heard.

The werewolf sat on the fork of the branch, resting panting.

The strong wind blew the upper part of this exceptionally tall tree, taking away the heat and panic all over its body.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

It howled.

-

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Kil heard the wolf howl coming from the top of the big tree and stamped his foot angrily.

Unexpectedly, the ax throw that had always been inflicted was actually resisted by that guy with all his strength.

Although they were enemies, Kil had to say that the way the opponent fought to the death just now was indeed very powerful.

Facing an ax that can pursue independently, Ichimo's escape can only lead to death. And finding a way to slow down and control the ax that is out of the master's grasp is probably the way to deal with it head on.

It's a pity that the strength of the ax is just that little. With a little more strength, the werewolf can break away from the tight bite of the werewolf's mouth and directly split the werewolf in half from the lower jaw.

Moreover, the cunning guy even ran to the heights of the big tree, giving Kil no chance to contact his weapon.

"It seems we can only endure it." Kil exhaled.

Lowering the brightness of the long sword, he cleared a snow-free place under the tree and let the horse stand there while he leaned against the warm body of the horse.

He kept his sight and hearing focused on the top of the big tree. He knew that the werewolf was seriously injured, but he was not the dexterous opponent and did not dare to climb up to fight the werewolf.

After all, he couldn't be like his opponent, who could continue to move and hold on to the branches after hitting the branches twice in a row after falling from the air.

If it were him, he would have been seriously injured and passed out in the first hit.

He was thinking, is there any way to drive the other party down from the big tree?

Thinking of this, Kil narrowed his eyes. Maybe he lit the tree with fire?

-

He searched in the small backpack behind him and found flint and steel, but no tinder.

Then I remembered that those things were still in the horse's backpack, and the backpack was left in the previous camp.

"Hey, I'm in trouble."

That being said, we still have to find a way to handle the matter.

After thinking about it, Kil stared at the top of the big tree while cutting down a few suitable small trees around the big tree.

The whole small tree was dragged step by step by Keir to the bottom of the big tree, and the whole tree was chopped open with a long sword. The fire-resistant and non-flammable trunks were piled next to the trunk of the big tree. As for the branches thick as arms and branches as thick as fingers, Then break them apart with your hands and pile them on the outside.

While he was busy, the wound on Kil's shoulder that had been scratched by the wolf's claws started to bleed again.

This forced him to remove the entire left shoulder of his armor and cut the sleeve of his left arm into strips of rags. Wipe the wound with clean ice and snow on the surrounding ground, then use the God of Agriculture badge to control the wound, and then wrap it with a cloth to control it.

He put on the armor again, the battle with the werewolf was not over yet, now was not the time to disarm.

Kiel ended up cutting off part of the hem of his wolf-hair cloak, as well as some of the mane from his horse's neck. These flammable items were piled on the outside of the pile, next to branches as thick as a finger.

Taking out a flint and steel, Kil struck it a few times, quickly igniting the cloak fragments and hair with sparks.

Blow air carefully with your mouth to make the flammable materials burn and create a flame.

This small flame then ignited the twigs, and as the twigs also burned, the flames grew larger and larger.

At this time, Keir didn't have to worry about it anymore.

The werewolf on the tree could only see what the Kiel warriors were doing back and forth under the tree with their blurred animal eyes. Because I couldn't see clearly, I had to sit there and wait for my body to recover.

Wound recovery is not without cost, it will consume its physical strength and energy, and even make it hungry and thin.

Wolf, the werewolf, planned to go down and see if he could fight with Keir after his eyes could be used for fighting. It didn't believe that the opponent's weapon could produce the same blinding flash as before. As long as it was careful with this, it thought it should be able to defeat Kil.

Especially after the opponent loses the blue ax that can attack independently.

But before he could think of any more ideas about the subsequent battle, Wolfman smelled the smoke produced by burning firewood.

It originally thought that Keel had lit a fire underneath and would stay with it until dawn. But it looked down with blurred eyes, and realized that Kiel had been working on it for a long time, and it turned out that he was preparing to light the big tree!

At this moment, the flames have appeared. Although they have not yet ignited from the burning wood to the big tree at their feet, it is only a matter of time.

"Oops! You insidious guy! Ahhhh!"

The werewolf roared angrily high in the tree.

Keir, on the other hand, grinned.

"You're not coming down, are you? Then don't come down, burn yourself to death on top!"

The flames turned into flames, and the burning of the twigs soon ignited the felled trunk, and soon the big tree was set alight too.
