Chapter 0004: Campfires and Food

【Lone Old Wolf (Weak)】

【It's and you are craving a dinner】

The hungry lone wolf smelled the scent, and it lingered for a long time, but at last it went to the rotting griffon's head, hoping that there would be any chewy meat left.

【Easy Trap (Active)】

The rotten wood broke, and from behind the bushes came the terrible sound of breaking wind, and the branches struck the lone wolf like a warlord's whip, but it only rolled twice before it limped to its feet.

Adam rushed out from the side, pounced on him like a drowning man holding a reed, pulled the hair on the back of his neck with his left hand, pressed the wolf under him, and stabbed wildly with a dagger in his right hand.

The old wolf turned his head away, barking and saliva mingling, and his pale teeth even hit the bridge of Adam's nose.

Adam simply left the wolf's head and bit it, and the strong stench came to his face, blood poured into his throat like spoiled soup, and wolf hair, filth, and even fleas covered his nose in the panting.

When he stood up, he felt that the clean air was so beautiful.

【Wolf's Carcass (Fresh)】

Adam picked up the loot and fled, for there were a few red dots on the minimap approaching him, and whatever it was, he had no strength left to face it.

Not long after, he knelt by the river, washing the blood on his face and chest, and the crisp comfort made him much better, if it wasn't for the knife wound, he might have jumped directly into the river.

He checked the map and found that there were several red dots near the pier of the river on the same side, and Adam looked sideways to see a bunch of water ghosts guarding the corpse in a daze.

The humanoid creature crawled out of the river, skinny and pale, often with broken red spots and scattered hair, and a face that resembled a skeleton, though still clinging to flesh and yellow teeth.

Many of the horse-drinkers will be raided by them, and the soldiers encamped by the river, if the sentry doze off, may have to kill a few unlucky ghosts.

Adam withdrew his gaze, but he had already made up his mind, but for now he was dealing with the food.

【Fresh Wolf Meat X6】

The four legs and the two larger pieces of flesh on the body were tied tightly with strips of bark, and the [broken wolf skin] [wolf head (inferior)] were discarded by Adam.

It didn't take long for a deep red to pour into the river, which kept getting lighter, and drifted down mixed with organs, attracting the attention of several water ghosts on the shore.

They crave fresh flesh, so they leave the rotting corpses and crawl along the riverbank with their mouths open, and because they have no sight, they end up only touching the vague wolf skin.

As soon as the water ghost left, Adam, who had walked around in advance, appeared here, throwing himself into the pile of fishy corpses and groping around.

【Corpse】

【Bronze Wolf X10, Silver Python X1】

"Oh, here's something good."

【Hangena Sword】

【Low-level Weapons】

[Damage: 20~40]

[Note: The corpse in the Hagena area, touch it more, you will always get it.] 】

Adam looked up and caught a glimpse of the water ghosts still fighting for the wolf's head that had residual heat, and proceeded to peel off a decent piece of armor from the severed limbs and [broken] [destroyed] equipment.

【Recruit Leather Armor】

【Inferior Armor】

[Armor: 23~30]

[Note: This is something that can be crafted by villagers.] 】

Adam found a few more undershirts, walked along the riverbank to a safe place, washed them, and returned with a wet lump of booty and bundled and washed wolf meat.

Avoiding the red dots on the roadside and in the forest, and following the dirt road into the ruins, it was already getting dark, and the setting sun was smashing a golden desolation in the sky.

[You return to your safe temporary residence, but you hear faint sobbing]

Adam was alert, recognized the sound, and rushed to the tavern (broken, repairable) on the map, and saw Jane cowering in the corner of the wall and crying through the gap in the hole.

When he left during the day, a tired Jane was already asleep here.

At this moment, the girl huddled in the corner where the light could shine, suppressing the sound, looking frightened, and the sunset was evenly smeared on the broken building, which was a bit beautiful.

The piece of meat was thrown in front of her, and the girl looked up with her moist eyes, and looked at Adam pitifully.

"Dinner."

Wow!

The girl, who was afraid of being abandoned, finally cried boldly, and the desolate trills carried too many grievances.

……

[Although the tavern is broken, if you can light a bonfire and prepare food, it may attract people in a hurry. 】

Adam sat in the tavern, the rectangular room was not only empty but also ventilated, and the rain leaked so that it was damp in some places, and there was barely a table.

Half of the roof has collapsed, so you can see the stars, and it should be calm tonight.

He was dressed in leather armor, and he looked a little heroic and reliable when he sat up straight and polished his sword, but in fact, the wood for the fire and the drying process were all handled by Jane alone.

The girl had been doing all the work since the evening, and though there was no spice, she still worked tirelessly close to the fire and tended to the broth in the broken clay pot.

Adam knew that Jane was proving her worth and didn't want to be a burden to being abandoned, so she worked hard to make people feel distressed.

There was movement on the roof, and black crows fluttered and landed on the gap, tilting their heads twitchingly, their oily eyes reflecting the campfire in the room.

Immediately after, another one flew, shaking its wings.

Adam looked up, his sword in his hand, and there was a blue "? "It's close to here.

The sound of heavy hooves came from far and near, the wooden frames were stuffed in the cloth bags, the rhythmic sound of the clutter of objects was heard, Adam's experience had told him the identity of the visitor, and the weapon was placed on the table again.

"Kind stranger, can you share a warm campfire?"

A fleshy face poked out of the lack of a wooden block, and the man smiled and pushed open the broken door, and a stocky figure in a hooded cotton robe stepped into the firelight.

[Strange merchants enter your camp, and you can initiate a trade with the fairest people on the continent.] 】

"Of course, as long as the merchant can bring out some utensils, he can also share a piece of good meat, and the thick soup is full."

After Adam spoke, the fat man on the other side understood who had the right to speak in this safe haven, laughed and nodded in thanks, turned around and went out, rummaging through the house.

When he re-entered, he politely handed Jane three beautifully patterned clay bowls, and respectfully presented Adam with a glass bottle filled with a dark red liquid.

【Inferior Healing Elixir】

【The Alchemical Product of the Nameless Apothecary Apprentice】

"Kind sir, this is my greeting gift."

The merchant sat down across the table, the crow flying to his shoulders and his feet blending with his black coat, his face fat and pleated, covered with brown spots and pits, with a high, thick-pierced nose dotted on the wings of a soybean-sized sarcoma.

Jane served the two of them meat and soup, and retreated to the bar to eat.

Adam wanted to speak up, but then remembered that it was Hangener's custom that a woman could not be at the table during the proceedings.

[The merchant thanks you for your generosity, and the goodwill that he has accumulated so far, allows him to answer you two questions.] 】

The magic of walking on the continent of Kundia is sitting opposite Adam at the moment, and their group of people is acting strangely, following their own set of rules and paying attention to fair exchange of interests.
