Chapter 8: The Fierce Jackal

Walking into the tent, Sherlock smelled an extremely rich milky aroma, "Is this the smell of goat's milk, I have never smelled this rich milky aroma." He asked, stunned as he looked at a small pot boiling in mid-air.

"Hehe, this is what I refined from the milk produced by more than 100 spiral horn ewes that have just given birth, but it is a good thing to nourish yin and yang, and you can taste it right away." Ann looked at Sherlock's back and said with a smile, and licked her mouth greedily after speaking.

Sherlock always felt that Ann had added an extra accent when he said nourishing yin and replenishing yang, and he couldn't help but be a little imaginative.

"Whew!" Sherlock, who was thinking about it, suddenly felt a sharp pain, and his pain sensation was also at its highest when the realism was full.

"What's wrong with you?" Ann asked, looking at Sherlock, who suddenly screamed.

"It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's a stomachache from being hungry after not eating for a day." Sherlock, who was awakened by Luna One, let go of the hand covering his chest and hurriedly explained, although it was not clear what was going on, he had realized that the state just now was definitely abnormal, and there was definitely something wrong with Ann, this woman.

Sherlock silently opened the player journal, but there was no hint on it, and after a little thought, he decided to stay with Ann.

One is because it is now certain that Ann is a part of the plot event, even a very important part, and she will definitely be able to participate in the event with her. Second, Sherlock does not want to act rashly when the positions of both sides have not yet been confirmed.

"Ann, what are you doing here alone?" Across the fire, Sherlock asked casually, and began to talk.

"Wellโ€”" Ann groaned for a moment when she heard Sherlock's inquiry, and then said, "To be honest, I'm actually a ranger, and I've heard that a ferocious jackal has suddenly broken into here and kept hunting the spiralhorn sheep in this grassland, so I'll see if I can find this ferocious jackal and drive it out." โ€

Hearing Ann's answer Sherlock was quite unexpected, the ranger has the skill of being proficient in dual weapons, and there are a lot of people who are accustomed to using dual knives, and the possibility that Ann is a ranger is indeed not low from the weapon, and the plot of a ranger preparing to drive away a vicious rampaging jackal is also very in line with the game setting, but he always feels that Ann's words are too bland, just like telling a story.

Seeing that Sherlock didn't react, Ann continued, "This ferocious jackal may have been a wolf at one time, and I am not completely sure about dealing with him. โ€

"Sherlock, will you help me?" As she spoke, Ann poured a cup of boiled goat's milk and handed it to Sherlock.

Looking at Ann's pretty face and looking at him pleadingly, Sherlock knew that he was awake, but he still couldn't refuse the other party's request, and he could feel his heart beating faster than it had ever been.

"Of course, it can be regarded as the reward for this bowl of goat's milk." Sherlock raised the goat's milk in his hand and drank it in one gulp to hide his expression, he would never admit that it was his lust.

In fact, Sherlock has no other choice, and the next plot development is obviously to follow Ann.

"You're not afraid that I'll poison the goat's milk."

"Poof" Sherlock really didn't think of this problem, the goat's milk that he hadn't swallowed almost squirted out, and the inertial thinking since he had been playing the game caused him to completely ignore the possibility that NPCs would be poisoned, and when the goat's milk was drunk, he did feel a hot breath surging up his body, and he quickly opened the adventure log.

"Haha, you really believe it, haha~" Looking at Sherlock with an embarrassed face, An Shi couldn't help but pat his thigh and laughed.

System Tips: Take the secret condensed goat's milk, clear all abnormal states, restore all physical strength, health, mana, temporarily increase physique 3 points, strength 3 points, health 100 points, duration 1 hour.

Seeing the system prompt in the player's log, Sherlock didn't feel embarrassed, it was true that he was distressed, although this goat's milk definitely couldn't be packed and taken away, but it was really a pity to drink it in one go.

"Don't tease you, let's go, it's time to maintain the balance of nature." After drinking the goat's milk in her hand, Ann stood up, patted the dust on her leather skirt, and said to Sherlock.

Sherlock, who had no other clues, could only stand up and help Ann dismantle the tent.

The props in the Forgotten Realm are all highly realistic.,Just like this tent.,I don't want to use it directly like in previous games.,But you have to build and dismantle it yourself.,Of course, there are high-level tents that can shrink automatically.,But that's already a category of magic props.ใ€‚

With a bang, Ann received the dismantled tent into the bracelet, Sherlock saw this scene and was a little suspicious of life, NPCs don't have backpacks, and space storage props are also extremely precious things in NPCs, and the value of space bracelets is even more terrifying, and now this casual passerby has this kind of high-end goods, he is really a little hit.

"Let's go, that ferocious jackal is very cunning, I haven't seen its shadow for several days, it should be much easier if you help me today."

After saying that, Ann inserted the two scimitars into the scabbards on both sides of her waist, and then tightened her hair back and tied a ponytail with weeds and walked forward, the wet hair did not know whether it was stained with sweat or dewdrops, and it was so dazzling in the morning light.

"Whew." Sherlock, who was pinched again, confirmed that he had not entered an abnormal state, and really doubted whether he was a nymphomaniac, "Could it be that I haven't vented for more than a month, and the sperm worm has gone to the brain." Sherlock shook his head, trying to regain his senses.

"Let's go, Xiaode." Ann waved back and shouted.

Hearing Ann's call, Sherlock didn't care about his name at this time, and didn't think about whether he was guilty of nymphomania, but resolutely followed quickly, since the system didn't send a prompt, it proved that there was no problem, and he suddenly liked this feeling a little.

"Okay, Captain!"

"Why do you call me Captain?"

"Then why do you call me Xiaode?"

"Don't you think it's troublesome to call someone someone's three-syllable name?"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Ann, that ferocious jackal should be in front of you, are you sure to deal with it?"

It didn't take long for Sherlock and Ann to discover the whereabouts of the ferocious jackal, and the combination of the druid and the ranger was perfect in a vibrant environment like the forest, especially since he had just gone through the first two induction trials and had a preliminary grasp of the druid's connection to nature.

"Can't beat you, isn't there still you, the two of us go together, and we can't deal with a lord monster who has left the territory." An Man said nonchalantly.

At this time, Sherlock also saw for the first time the ferocious jackal that Ann spoke of, which seemed to have just finished a meal, lying on the edge of a stone and resting with its eyes closed, and the flesh of an unknown animal scattered around it.

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with Ann's words.

At this stage, the druids in human form only have a few support spells, so Sherlock completed the transformation as soon as possible.

"I'll go up and fight head-on, you just flank guerrilla." As she spoke, Ann drew her twin knives and rushed forward.

"Roar-" The ferocious jackal also spotted the approaching An for the first time, and immediately got up and made a gesture to fight.

In fact, at this time, it would be better if Sherlock could turn into a creature like a mandrill, and the Ranger who walks the melee stream is not a class suitable for frontal combat.

Fortunately, Ann's two scimitars danced well, the two scimitars opened the bow left and right, the left hand knife blocked, and the right hand knife waited for the opportunity to attack, and the ferocious jackal had no way to take her for a while, but was cut by Ann's scimitar from time to time.

Devil's Claw! -10

Sherlock had already entered the battle at this time, using the only spell that could be used in his transformed state, and his blessed claws grabbed the hind legs of the ferocious jackal.

Claw: Enhances the recipient's innate weapon, giving them an extra damage bonus for their next attack.

Even with the spell bonus, Sherlock's damage from one attack is only barely in the single digits, and normal attacks only have a pitiful 4 or 5 damage, which is like tickling for a ferocious jackal.

It's just that the frequency of tickling is higher, and it can scratch the dead, and the attack speed of the wild and fanatical Sherlock is much faster than that of the human form, and the ferocious jackal also has the heart to deal with the relatively weak but more troublesome Sherlock first, and every time it wants to turn around and attack, Ann will attack its vital point with a knife so that it does not dare to be distracted.

The form gradually developed to the favorable side, but Sherlock did not dare to relax for a moment, although with the blessing of the two buff spells of Wild Fervor and Demon Claw, his output was still very limited, and with his low physique attributes and no armor bonus, he would never dare to risk attacking the vital point of the ferocious jackal.

Fortunately, although it was slow, the blood volume of the ferocious jackal was still decreasing under the joint attack of Sherlock and Ann, especially Ann's right-handed sword seemed to have a certain amount of magic power, and every time it hit the ferocious jackal, it could condense a thin layer of ice crystals on the wound.

"Be careful." An parried a cross to block the heavy blow of the ferocious jackal, but the person was knocked back a short distance, and An Li, who clearly felt the increase in the strength of the other party, immediately reminded loudly: "It is berserk." โ€

Most of the wild creatures have natural skills such as rage, and the ferocious jackal, as a lord boss, of course, also has this skill, but neither Sherlock nor Ann expected it to start the rage without even half of the blood dropped, and the sudden surge in power caught Ann off guard, and at this time, if the berserk jackal turned around and attacked Sherlock, who was close at hand, he was likely to hang up here.

Sherlock knew that he couldn't dodge, so he could only protect his arms in front of him and adjust his entire body to minimize the impact of the ferocious jackal's furious blow.
