Mercenaries and Adventurers

As soon as Kil appeared, the wild python, which was a beast, turned its head and looked at him with cold eyes.

The beast couldn't figure out how the enemy Kil was disappearing and reappearing, but it couldn't speak and didn't have much thinking ability, so with a swipe of its tail, it tried to wrap around Kil's legs and trip him to the ground.

The Wild Snake, which has killed too many humans under the Wild Snake, clearly understands one thing. Creatures like humans are very powerful when standing, but once they fall to the ground, they can only be bitten and entangled by them. They were wrapped around their bodies and hanged alive.

Snapped!

The wild python's thick tail swung hard on Kil's right leg, but as soon as the tip of the tail was bent and entangled, Kil swung the ax in his hand and struck down hard on the right side of the body.

Phew - snap.

The strength of the snake's scales was a little beyond Kiel's expectations, but fortunately, they were no match for the head that crossed the water.

The hand raised the ax and dropped it, and a half-meter-long snake tail was cut off directly. As the blood spattered, the big snake howled in pain: "Ji————"

The whole body twisted violently.

Not only that, the broken snake tail also twisted hard, wrapped tightly around Kiel's right leg, and slapped Kiel's leg again and again.

After rolling around randomly for a while, the big snake swung towards Kil and bit him. It opened its big mouth and bit from top to bottom, as if it was going to swallow Kil's head in one go.

But Kil seemed to be a heavily armored warrior, but in fact his body was quite flexible. When his waist was pressed together, it completely exceeded the wild beast's expectations and he jumped up on the spot.

This time, the big snake that originally swooped down to bite Kil's head could not hit anything. On the contrary, Kil adjusted his body movements and subsequent counterattacks in the air. Under the effect of the red-eyed mushroom, the reaction and speed of the snake were higher than those of ordinary people, but in fact it did not appear to be that fast.

Seeing that the big snake had missed the bite and hit the ground with its head, Kil held an ax in both hands and struck hard at the head of the big snake.

The blue light was booming, and the ax itself was constantly adjusting its impact point at this moment, accurately finding the place to strike among the constantly swinging snake body and smoke.

Clang—puff!

The scales on the snake's body are larger and thicker than those on the snake's tail, but they are not enough for the head to cross the water!

Cutting open the hard scales, the ax blade with the curvature of the moon slashed hard towards the snake body under the scales like breaking bamboo! Boom! In the end, the ax cut off the entire snake's trunk and plunged into the ground.

Blood spattered and stained Kil's armor red again, which had only been wiped clean for a short time.

The smell of snake blood was overwhelming, and Keir frowned tightly under his mask.

But it wasn't over yet, the big snake's head was cut off, but its body and snake head did not give up the fight.

The four-meter-long thick body was like a huge yarn that was constantly flipped and beaten. After losing its head, it kept twisting randomly. Because of its close proximity, Kil was hit twice.

The snake head, after growing its mouth, jumped up from the ground and bit Kiel's waist.

Bang, Kil was knocked back two steps, and then he looked down at the snake head biting around his waist.

The snakehead also stared at him with cold eyes and refused to let go. But Kiel didn't feel any discomfort in his waist. It does not have sharp and strong fangs. In other words, this big snake has grown so big, and it is not a monster or a monster. It relies on strangulation to kill its prey.

But it can strangle the prey's body. At this moment, it is flipping around in front of Keir. It keeps hitting the empty place and strangles the whole body when it touches the bushes, directly crushing the low bushes.

When it encounters a big stone, it rolls it up, and even grinds out stone powder amidst the rattling sound.

This frightened Kil. Fortunately, he chopped off the snake's head with an axe, causing the snake head that could control the body to lose its body. The long snake body, which was full of strangulation power, also lost the snake head's instructions, and could only attack randomly.

Kil held the snake's mouth around his waist with his hand and used all his strength to pry the snake's head open. As soon as the snake's head was still on the ground, the two-handed ax jumped up from the ground and hit the middle of the snake's head with the axe.

Kil ignored it, turned to look at the camp gate, and saw a scene that made him laugh.

-

There, the leader of the bandits, Desolate Snake, was kneeling on his knees, crying towards the big snake's body with its head and tail cut off: "My baby! Ahhh! My baby! How could you lose?" How can it be!"

The other bandits didn't know how Kil could defeat the wild python so easily. They were stunned on the spot, at a loss because something happened before. The leader's snake became violent during the breeding season, and more than twenty bandits couldn't control it. The big snake finally let it run wild and fed several captured merchants to fill its stomach, and then it calmed down.

But now, the wild python, which could not be subdued by more than twenty people, was killed in just a few strokes by this knight who did not know where it came from.

Some bandits wanted to retreat, but the emotionally broken bandit leader issued a crazy order: "Come on! Release all the poisonous snakes and kill him for me! I don't believe it! Use all your strength!! !”

Huang She turned his head and saw his men cowering. He got up angrily, drew out the long sword from his waist and put it on his men's necks: "Up!"

The cronies had no choice but to step forward one after another.

They first threw venomous snakes at Kil, but Kil just used his left hand to protect his visor and ignored the venomous snakes.

Seeing that the poisonous snake's bites had no effect, these bandits had no choice but to avoid the raging snake and attack Kiel from both sides.

The bandit leader also rushed to the front with a long sword, shouting curse words, and raised the sword with both hands to slash at Keir.

But for such a random attack, not to mention raising his sword to block it, Kil just looked at the distance and took a step back to get out of the way of the opponent's heavily slashed sword blade.

"Have you lost your mind?"

He raised his foot to step on the tip of the sword that had struck the ground. He drew out the Heartfire Dagger with his right hand and stabbed the bandit leader through the heart. Blood gushed out of the other party's mouth, but he still cursed vaguely.

"Hmph, go keep your evil pet company."

Kil pulled out the dagger, smashed the opponent's sword-holding hands down, and then kicked sideways, kicking the bandit leader's body towards the twisting snake body.

The bandit leader's body collided with the snake's body. The collision immediately caused the snake's body to react, twist and turn and wrap around the bandit leader's body.

Then the long snake body wound up inch by inch and tightened quickly. The huge force caused the two wounds on the broken body of the snake to pump out the smelly blood and internal organs, but its strength was not reduced by half.

No, he lost control of his head and the force of the strangulation became even greater.

The internal organs and bones were crushed one by one, and dirty flesh and blood spurted out from the bandit leader's head, face and crotch.

That guy actually smiled with satisfaction before he died.

It was probably the first and only time that I ‘enjoyed’ the abilities of my beloved pet and died with satisfaction, right?

The corner of Kil's mouth twitched as he watched, and the other bandits around him were also staring blankly at the death of their leader. Some bandits dropped their weapons and tremblingly begged for surrender, while others tried to turn around and run away.

Of course, there are still people who have their own skills and want to step forward to compete with Keir.

Kil snorted coldly, and first let go of the people who rushed to block the way. Then he threw the Heartfire dagger in his hand, directly piercing the back of the fleeing bandit's heart. The opponent flipped over and rolled down the hillside, and soon hit him. When it reached the stone, it stopped moving.

Facing the surrendering bandits, Kiel ignored them. After stepping aside, he drew his sword and struck down the bandits who were sent to his door. Someone threw a venomous snake at Kiel's helmet. Kiel pulled out his shield to block it. He stepped forward and back, and while the opponent was shouting surrender, he pierced the bandit's body with his sword.

"late."

After killing several people in a row, Kil looked around and saw five frightened bandits kneeling in front of him.

Keir walked over: "Want to live?"

Several people nodded sharply.

But Keel frowned when he saw these people wearing strange clothes and colorful paint and tattoos on their bodies.

As if sensing the silent atmosphere, several bandits looked up at Keir who was staring at them. As a result, he noticed the glowing eyes under Kil's steel visor.

"Oh my god! There's a ghost!"

Kil's mouth twitched, and he swung his sword to chop the head of the bandit who said he was a ghost.

The others shut their mouths tightly at this moment.

Kil looked around and listened to the hissing sounds of poisonous snakes in the surrounding bushes and grass: "In this case, surrender is not impossible. Let me deal with the poisonous snakes around first."

"Department, processing?"

Keir kicked the robber who spoke: "Catch him and lock him up, don't you understand?"

The four bandits nodded fiercely and immediately got up to work in a hurry.

Kil stared at them for a while, then put away the Heart Fire Magic Dagger, and then watched these guys lure out the hiding poisonous snakes one by one with live rats, and then after the poisonous snakes hunted the live rats, they just carried them and ate them. The poisonous snakes of things are put into snake bags.

Keir felt that these venomous snakes might not have any effect on him, but they might be of great use when rescuing the villagers of Changmai Village later.

-

After waiting for a while, several bandits presented the snake bag containing all the poisonous snakes: "Sir, the poisonous snakes released just now are all in it."

Keir nodded: "You won't run out, will you?"

"No, the bag has two locks, and the snake can only be released after both are opened. And the poisonous snake has just eaten and will not come out of the bag for a day or two."

It turned out that this was the case. Only then did Keir realize that only underfed poisonous snakes would take the initiative to attack, and what lured the poisonous snakes to attack was the live rats thrown out by the bandits in advance.

"So, you have prepared several batches of venomous snakes, right? This way you can ensure that there are venomous snakes available for use in battle at any time?"

The robbers did not dare to look at Keir's eyes and face, so they lowered their heads and replied: "Yes, yes. We have more at home."

"Hmph! Did you harm a lot of people?"

"They were all forced by the leader, and we are all pretty much the same in this line of work."

Several bandits said as they secretly looked at the leader's body, which was reflected in the distant firelight.

The corpse was still tightly twisted by the snake's several-meter-long body. At this time, due to the friction and squeezing of the hard scales, the corpse's bones and flesh had been separated, and a large amount of blood-red muscles were forcibly squeezed out from the upper and lower gaps. At this moment, the big snake's body was truly Wrapped, maybe all that's left is a broken skeleton of the other party.

Kil was disgusted when he saw it. He opened his hand towards Yuesui's head, and then the ax blooming with blue light flew into Kil's hand. Seeing this scene, the eyes of the four thieves jumped wildly. They realized that they should just leave after stealing the valuable wealth tonight.

He threw the ax at the big snake's body with his hand. Kil didn't look at it and let the ax deal with the big snake's body on its own.

He himself put the smelly snake bag together, tied up the thieves' own arms with the ropes from their bodies, and tied the four thieves' legs and feet together.

It's similar to the two-person and three-legged game I played in my previous life.

It would be very interesting for bandits who have not practiced this game to think that they could escape like this without Kiel binding their feet.

Keir knew that if the four of them fell down, not to mention rolling down the hillside where the Fat Man gang's lair was, but because they were running without falling, the hips of the fallen person would be torn apart by force.

Hopefully these bandits have done the splits before, or can ask some random god to protect them from crushing their soft balls when they fall.

Especially there are many stones in the grass on this hillside.

The collision between soft eggs and rocks, huh~

Might be interesting.

Thinking of this, Kil couldn't help but tighten his crotch.

-

With the four disarmed bandits, Kil first let go of the blood-licking grass, and then rode his horse, leading the four surrendered bandits who were walking awkwardly, to the blazing bandit camp.

Contrary to Kiel's expectation, Kiel thought that the dozen meat tickets had dispersed and took the opportunity to escape.

Tonight is a moonless night, which is the most suitable weather for escaping.

Especially at this moment, there are clouds in the sky to help. If it weren't for the burning light of the wooden three-story tower next to it, it would be dark in the camp.

While Kiel was looking at the captured people, people of all ages, men, women and children also gathered in the corner of the camp to watch Kiel coming in on horseback.

They were unsure of Kiel's identity, so they didn't dare to say anything or come forward.

And when the four bandits with their arms tied and their legs and feet tied together awkwardly walked into the camp, the people realized that Kiel, who was alone, was not a bandit.

At least it's not the snake charmers.

Kil looked around and found that Huang She's bandit team had at least done some good things. They found the valuable belongings of Fatty's gang and piled them in the open space in the center of the camp.

There weren't many things, and the most valuable items were just a few small boxes.

Keir noticed that there were some food plundered by the thieves placed next to the small box. The amount was not large, but not a lot.

Several bags, large and small, were piled open on the ground. Keir rode over to take a look and found that they were potatoes and wheat with the bran removed. There would also be a large bag of beans of various colors.

There was also a bag that smelled of fish. Keir jumped off his horse and opened it. Inside were strips of dried salted fish. In the bag lying on the ground next to him, he looked familiar, Cavan, Western Province. Receive the most popular types of jerky sold recently.

"Not bad, these are some food."

Kil praised, and the avatar bandit who followed awkwardly behind him said: "Knight, Lord Knight. These look good, but in fact they don't amount to much. If you don't count the boxes of moldy old food that we didn't ask for, Fatty From this guy’s lair, this is the only food worth taking away.”

Keir curled his lips: "It's good to have old food to eat, but you are still picky. Hmm, surrender, just be more conscious. It's best not to have high expectations for future survival. Remember, you stand while others are sitting. Wait, you watch others eat, and when others eat these fresh and good things, you consciously chew the moldy old food. Do you know? You guys who have done all kinds of bad things, if you want to survive, just put your tail between your legs and be honest. "

"Lord Knight, we understand."

Several bandits lowered their heads and tried to find the tail behind them while talking.

It turns out no, that's right, humans don't have tails.

Scratching his head.

Several bandits did not dare to speak anymore.

Keir kicked open several unlocked small boxes with his feet. There was one box containing less than half of the box's shining gold and silver coins, one box full of bright red copper coins, and another box containing more packaged small boxes. Box.

Keir knew at a glance that the items in the last box were the most valuable, probably valuables, followed by the one containing gold and silver coins. A small box full of copper coins was a lot, but after actual conversion, it was probably not much. A gold coin.

Keir closed the three boxes, tied them with ropes, and put them on his horse first.

After that, he waved to the meatheads who were sizing him up not far away, "Come, come here, I have something to tell you." He summoned a dozen of them over.

-

Those people were stopped by Keir. They trembled at first, and then the crowd pushed for a while, pushing a middle-aged man with a kind face out.

The man was pushed out reluctantly, but then he trotted up to Keir with a charming look on his face.

But as soon as the man got close, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, his hands and feet sore, and Keir looked at him and smiled bitterly: "What's wrong with you? Have you met a noble? Why are you so polite?"

Kil didn't know that as soon as the middle-aged man approached, he originally wanted to say something nice to beg for mercy, and then to inquire about the identity of the unknown person during the questioning.

But when he walked in and saw a young man wearing a metal armor, he was frightened by the smelly blood all over the other man's armor.

In particular, he saw that on one of the opponent's legs, one's calf was partially wrapped around the body of a headless green poisonous snake, and the other was tightly wrapped around a thick python tail.

The snake's tail was still dripping with wet blood.

Especially the fishy smell when he got close made him faint and fell to the ground.

The smell of the environment in which these kidnapped meat dealers usually lived was already very bad, but compared with the smell of blood on the young man in front of them, it was incomparable.

When Kil saw the man fall, he wanted to go up and help him, but as soon as he walked over, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and moved him backwards.

Blinking his eyes, Kil looked down at himself, then with a smile, he tore off the python tail and venomous snake body wrapped around his legs, and threw them towards the burning wooden tower not far away.

"It's nothing, it's just a dead snake, don't be afraid. I'm Joe Keel, a, well, a trainee knight from Kendall County in the Northwest Province!"

"knight?"

The other party didn't care about the so-called apprenticeship, and was directly attracted by the name of the knight.

"Are you a knight? What about these bandits?"

The pale-faced middle-aged man pointed at the four bandits who were looking for tail behind them with their heads lowered.

Keir shrugged: "I defeated him, surrendered and tied him up."

"Really? You didn't lie to me or us?"

The middle-aged man's voice was trembling at this time. After his breathing became rapid, he looked around, as if he wanted to find the bandit who was hiding and waiting to look good to those who had hope.

But there were only dead bandits and tied up bandits around.

Kil paused for a moment and said formally: "I didn't lie to you, I have a lot of people. Do you think I'm the only one?"

His words were heard by the bandits next to him, and they all looked over in surprise. Kil chuckled and pointed down the mountain in the direction he came from: "Just outside the woods at the bottom of the hillside, there are still forty bandits. No, the militiamen are waiting there. Outside."

Keir picked up the middle-aged man and patted him on the shoulder regardless of the tattered and smelly clothes on his body: "There is a team of 700 people some distance further northwest. Ha, I originally wanted to I came here to investigate on my own, and I ended up directly overthrowing these gangs of robbers who were fighting each other."

"Who are you? Are you here to save us?"

"No, no, no, no, I'm just passing by. These bandits are going to attack us, ahem, I'll just lead my men to fight back. That's it."
