Chapter 641: Run towards the sunset
In the autumn breeze of the woods, you can see two trees on the top of the mountain, one with Genaro and the other with Deborah.
Beneath the trees, a dozen or so wild boars were humming around the two trees, feeding on the roots of the plants under the dirt while waiting for the two hateful creatures in the trees to come down.
These wild boars were not small, the adult wild boars weighed eight or nine hundred kilograms, and the fangs on the sides of their mouths were as thick as Deborah's wrists.
Gnaro in the trees looked at the wild boars below that seemed to be encamped and guarded by him, and he wanted to cry a little.
After leaving the town of Jare, Genaro took up a mission in another town to the north, where a merchant needed five fresh boar skins.
Filled with confidence, Genaro took the sword that Charles had lent him, and Deborah, who was holding a magic wand that he had also borrowed from Charles.
Then they were driven into the trees by a large herd of wild boars.
Fortunately, the big tree here doesn't know how many years it has grown, and the trunk that can only be hugged by a few people is not something that a wild boar can deal with, which gives these two budding people a chance to breathe.
As the sun slowly sank to the west, Genaro said to Deborah, who was in the tree next door, "We can only get out at night while they are asleep." ”
Deborah, sitting on the thick branches, asked depressedly, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Gnaro shook his head, sighed, and said, "The backpack is gone, and the food is gone." ”
When he first set off, he said that he had good physical strength, so he carried dry food and other supplies on his back. As a result, the backpack had just been cut by the fangs of the wild boar, and everything inside fell out.
Deborah could only sigh as she looked at the yellowed leaves on the branches, she didn't even have any leaves to eat at this time.
Gnaro was also very depressed, knowing that everything was planned, and when the boar rushed up, he stabbed the boar to death with a sword, which is what his father did.
Just today, several wild boars rushed over, and he panicked for a moment and stabbed the nostrils of the wild boar that rushed to the front.
Wild boars are very smart, they know who the enemy is, and they also know if the other party is a soft persimmon, and they surround those two guys in order to take revenge.
As the sun set over the mountains to the west, Charles's voice suddenly came: "It seems that your situation is not good." ”
Genaro's face suddenly became embarrassed, he let out cruel words early in the morning, and this mission used Charles's brand, if he couldn't take out enough wild boar skins to hand in the task at noon tomorrow, then Charles would be punished by the adventurer's union.
Charles had identified himself to them, and Gnarro felt that he would be hung from a tree and beaten if he messed up his vote.
Standing on the branch of another big tree, Charles said as he munched on the roasted chicken legs, "I mean, you don't want to stay here and wait for the wild boars to fall asleep, because the wild boars will have sentries standing guard at night." ”
Gnaro sat on a branch and thought about it, to see if there was a way to break the game.
That's when Charles asked, "Gnaro, do you know why you failed today?"
Genaro looked at Charles and said, "Because my strength is not enough." ”
Charles threw the leftover chicken bones under the tree and asked, "What do you say you don't have enough strength?"
Gnaro thought for a moment and said, "I don't have enough strength......"
"Wrong. Charles shook his head and said, "A person's strength is composed of two parts: hard power and soft power, your hard power is enough to complete this mission, but soft power is much worse." ”
Gnaro looked puzzled as he pondered what Charles had said.
At this time, Charles looked at Deborah, and he said, "You have talent, but you haven't studied systematically, so you're basically helping today." ”
Deborah's face flushed, she wanted to release the fireball to blow up the boar today, but she almost blew up Genaro.
Charles took out another chicken leg and continued to eat it, and said: "If you want to become stronger and complete this mission by yourself, you won't be hung up and beaten by me because you fail the mission, I can teach you." ”
"It's just that the way I teach is a bit of a thing, after all, I haven't taught much people. ”
"I'll give you a little time to think about it until I'm done with the drumsticks. ”
"Really?" said Genaro as he looked at Charles in surprise, knowledge was precious these days, no matter what kind of knowledge it was.
Charles said a little helplessly: "After all, you were instigated by me to run away from home, at least that's what your family thinks." If you die outside, I'll be in a lot of trouble. ”
Deborah looked at Charles suspiciously, then at Genaro, a little unable to understand Charles's words.
Genaro didn't tell Deborah who he was, believing him to be just an adventurer or a caravan guard.
Now that Deborah knows that Charles is a tyrant and aristocrat, then the family of someone who can cause trouble for such a nobleman must not be simple.
At this time, Genaro solemnly said to Charles, "Please teach us how to defeat these wild boars." ”
Charles looked at Deborah and asked, "What about you, do you want to be together?"
Deborah nodded, then stood up from the trunk.
The trunk of the tree where they were hiding from the boar was three or four stories above the ground, and the "humming" of the boar below could be clearly heard.
One of the things that Charles was pleased with them was that although they fled, they did not throw away their weapons.
He said, "Take your weapons, and I will begin to teach you how to defeat the enemy before you." ”
He then threw away the second chicken leg bone in his hand, which smashed right into the head of the boar leader who had been stabbed in the nose by Genaro.
The boar leader looked up at the tree, and then noticed that his enemy had fallen from the tree.
Genaro landed first, and that height was nothing to him.
When he looked up and was about to curse Charles, Deborah was kicked off the branch and flew towards him.
Gnaro, who had caught Deborah, had no time to scold Charles, because the boars had already spotted them.
Charles, who had kicked the two of them off a branch with the help of Wind Wing and Sneak Attack, stood where Deborah had just stood, took out a boiled egg and ate it.
"You're cheating on me!" Gnaro's roar made it impossible to hear that he hadn't eaten lunch or dinner today.
"I curse you for never having a wife for the rest of your life!" Deborah screamed as she followed after Genaro.
The vengeful boars have continued to chase their enemies under the leadership of the leader.
The wild boars had just eaten a full meal and rested for most of the day, and their enemies were hungry, not to mention that they were better at running in the woods, and it was not long before the two sides were very close.
Genaro tried to throw Deborah up the tree again, only to have an arrow stuck in the trunk with a "thud".
Charles, with his bow, said behind them, "Don't keep thinking about running away, turn around and fight your enemies to the death, right?"
"Think of your father, think of your uncle, think of your grandfather, what would they think if they knew you were being chased by a herd of wild boars!"
Charles had been following them for a day today and could see what was wrong with Genaro.
This kid's martial arts skills are enough to deal with these wild boars, but his experience and courage are insufficient, and his psychological state is not good.
Gnaro panicked at the first sword, and the sword that was supposed to stab the boar was deformed and weakened by his fear, only stabbing the boar in the nose.
It's the same as how athletes in competitive sports such as soccer and basketball perform well in training, but don't perform well on the field.
This may be because he used to live under the protection of his father, and there was a sister who was more talented than him who suppressed him, which made his mentality a little problematic.
What Charles has to do now is to arouse the ruthlessness in his heart.
Gnaro ignored Charles' voice and continued to pull Deborah towards the sunset.
Charles felt that this was not enough, so he controlled the strength of his bow and shot a few more arrows into the boar's buttocks.
