Chapter 16: To Kill, or Not to Kill?

Tick, tick......

In the Imperial Beast Forest, a young man held a dim half-meter-wide knife, and on the hilt, drops of bright red blood slowly slid down the blade. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It hurts." Luffy looked at the dozen or so black wolf corpses around him that had lost their breath, staggered back two steps, and sat on the ground as if they were out of strength.

Fighting against more than a dozen black wolves alone, although Luffy's combat power is a little higher than them, but under the siege, Luffy was also injured a lot.

Flipping over his palm, looking at the extra blood on the otherwise smooth hand, Luffy grinned and a fine cold sweat secreted from his forehead. The other hand gently wiped between his neck, and looking at the few drops of blood under the tips of his fingers, Luffy shook his head with a wry smile.

This time, I was too anxious and was almost eaten by a few wolves.

He clearly remembered the ferocity on the face of the black wolf that leaped in front of him. If he hadn't reacted in time and his body fell backwards, I'm afraid it would have been him who had lost his breath now.

Taking the Shadow Knife back into the warehouse, Luffy hurriedly took out the Blood Clotting Pill that Haoyu gave him before he came, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

As soon as the pill was entered, Luffy saw that the wound on his hand, which was originally bleeding, was condensing into a bloody scab at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by a burst of itching.

Smashing his mouth, Luffy touched the wound that had solidified in surprise.

If this thing is placed on the earth, just because of the effect of stopping bleeding, I am afraid that it will be popular in every pharmacy overnight.

After resting on the spot for a few minutes, Luffy opened his information panel, and when he saw that his level had risen to level four, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Didn't you say that you will give something for every level you go up? Why did I increase my level but I didn't get any rewards?

Could it be that the system is malfunctioning?

"It can't be that miserable." Luffy's face darkened suddenly.

In order to upgrade, he almost lost his life, but in the end, there was no benefit at all.

What about pit players......

"Woo."

Just as Luffy was about to check his warehouse to see what he had gained from the dozen or so black wolves, a low childish voice drew his gaze.

Turning his head, Luffy's jaw almost fell off when he saw the wolf cub behind him with a tuft of red hair on his head.

Why is this cub so similar...... Bloodthirsty wolf!

Staring at the cub lying on the ground a few steps away, wagging its tail and burying its head deep between its thin legs, Luffy's mind moved and opened its information panel.

A bloodthirsty demon wolf in his infancy, with a hundred combat power. No means of attack, no danger.

Is this a drop from the sky? If it weren't for the fear of startling the other wild beasts, Luffy would have laughed out loud.

Standing up from the ground, Luffy looked at the wolf cub not far away, his eyes shining, like a man who had been poor for many years had discovered a mountain of gold.

The wolf cub watched Luffy approach him, a little frightened in his eyes. The fist-sized wolf's head lifted slightly, and the wolf cub's four legs stood up against the ground.

But before it could take a step forward, its young body fell to the ground again. Perhaps it was because of the pain of the fall, and the wolf cub let out a few low howls weakly.

This wolf can't be born with a disability, right?

Luffy stopped in front of the wolf cub, looked at the wolf cub curled up at his feet, crouched down, hesitantly picked up a branch, and poked its body.

"Whew." The wolf cub tilted his head, glanced at Luffy, and let out a low howl as if in protest.

This time, Luffy was directly amused by the wolf cub. What a ferocious beast this is, it's similar to the husky he raised on the earth!

So, looking at the bloodthirsty demon wolf cub in front of him, who had no power to resist, Luffy fell into a tangle in his heart.

To kill, or not to kill!

Luffy's biggest goal in entering the Royal Beast Forest this time can be said to be to hunt a bloodthirsty demon wolf and complete the side quest.

An attack pill with a combat power of 3,000 can be said to be very valuable to Luffy.

But in the face of a pitiful wolf cub who was a little weaker than a pet, Luffy felt a little difficult to start.

This is just like the underworld on the earth that dares to fight with relative gangs and kills people without mercy, and in the face of a defenseless child, they also can't raise the heart to kill.

Kill something that may endanger your life, maybe you won't hesitate, no psychological burden. But if you want to deal with a weak life, unless you are a demon, even if you kill it, you will be burdened with some inexplicable guilt.

Human emotions are sometimes so subtle.

"Forget it, after these few actual battles, my combat power is almost eight thousand, and before I want to go out, it is not a problem to kill an adult bloodthirsty demon wolf." Luffy sighed, stood up, and wanted to leave.

He is a human being, and in the end, he cannot get rid of the contradictions of human nature.

"Woo~~"

But Luffy didn't expect that when he turned around, the wolf cub behind him barked more often.

Twisting his head to look at the wolf cub who was roaring with his head held high, Luffy smiled slightly: "Little cub, go home quickly, if you meet someone else, I'm afraid your wolf's life will not be guaranteed." ”

The wolf cub looked at Luffy's disappearing back in a daze, and his body curled up again.

Silently, a crystal teardrop condensed at the edge of the wolf cub's eye, and then rolled down the short hair.

......

After a day of wandering in the Imperial Beast Forest, it was close to night that Luffy realized the call of his stomach.

"I should have killed all the wild beasts in this area."

In order to save time, Luffy directly found a natural cave in the Royal Beast Forest.

Moving a wild boar whose neck had been cut to the cave, Luffy learned from the ancient Chinese people to drill wood for fire, and after tossing for half an hour, he burned a few dead leaves under the planks to ignite the spark.

Carefully throwing the lit dead grass into the pile of dead branches that had been piled up long ago, watching the fire get bigger and bigger, Luffy clapped his hands, cut off the leg meat of the wild boar with a shadow knife, removed the rough fur outside, and roasted it directly on the fire.

After fighting in the Royal Beast Forest for a day, the wild beasts that died under Luffy's knife were not counting the wolves at the beginning, there were not ten but eight or nine, and before Luffy decided to find a place to spend the night, the surrounding area, there was not even a beast roar.

From 3,000 combat power to 7,000 combat power, Luffy almost killed completely.

And the continuous battles have also improved Luffy's actual combat ability a lot. Whether it is the ability to react, or the attributes such as speed and hit, there has been a lot of growth.

"It turns out that the improvement of hits depends on the accuracy of shots." Looking at the hit attribute added to his personal information, Luffy understood a little.

Six attributes. Attack power is a display of strength, and the more power you have, the stronger your attack power will be. Defense represents a player's physical ability to resist hits. Speed is the presentation of a person's leg strength. Hit, on the other hand, is the accuracy with which a person makes a shot.

Players with low hits take a knife to cut a tree, and maybe only two out of ten knives can basically fit together. And the player with the high hit, ten knives can almost be cut in the same position!

Just imagine, ten attacks, hitting one at the same time and scattering attacks, the effect must be completely different!

"Nearly two hundred points of combat power have been increased. The level is also a little short of reaching level six. If this continues, in three days, you should be able to fight the bloodthirsty demon wolf! And, if you can, try to get to level 10 before you go out! ”

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and seeing that his combat power value had risen to more than seven thousand seven hundred points, the corners of Luffy's mouth twitched slightly.

"Tomorrow, it's time to hunt in a different place!" Looking at the boar's leg that had already floated out of the smell of meat hanging from the Shadow Knife in his hand, Luffy put it on his nose and sniffed it, then bit it down hard.

"Eating begins, the three-minute countdown begins, players are left to grasp it."

When the first bite of meat slid into the cavity, Luffy stupidly remembered that there were three opportunities to eat and experience every day!

However...... It's the first meal of the day!

Oh my God! What iniquity have you done!
