Chapter 81: Crusade Mission
Boots tread through the dense forest in front of him, and in an open field he saw the hapless beast - it must be said that it was in a miserable state now.
In the center of the bombardment, the huge body of the Storm Ape King was covered with dense ice spikes, and the sturdy fur could not play the slightest defensive effect under this terrible bombardment, and it looked like a blood-stained hedgehog from a distance, and the blood flowed down the wound, slowly converging into a bright red river.
"Still alive? That's a lot of tenacious vitality. ”
With a casual glance, Javier could see that the chimpanzee still had a trace of breath, perhaps because the head was intact, and it was not completely dead, but its limbs were pierced by ice edges, and it was impossible to escape or continue fighting.
"So, mission accomplished."
With one kick on the dying beast's head, giving it the final blow, the Storm Ape King fluttered twice and completely lost his reaction.
Seeing that it was completely dead, Javier pulled out the dagger he had brought with him, and then expertly began to disassemble it.
After all, it is a super dangerous species, and it is full of extremely valuable materials that can be used to craft excellent weapons and defenses. Throw it here at will, let the beasts eat it, such a wasteful thing Xavier wouldn't do.
Just recently, the Imperial Capital Garrison received a document from the Western Anding City, saying that there was a super dangerous species infested nearby, and it had caused certain casualties, and the garrison of that small city was insufficient, so it specially came to request the Imperial Capital Garrison for support.
After getting the news, in order not to let the damage expand, Javier took the black dragon and rushed here as fast as possible, and then found this beast that inhabited the mountain forest, and then fought without saying a word, and the Violent Ape King died in the hands of Javier without the slightest preparation.
That's how it goes.
Halfway through the dismantling process, Javier heard a dragon roar in the sky, and then a huge black shadow landed on the ground not far away.
The earth was filled with smoke and dust, and then the wind blew away, and Alfred's massive dragon body appeared in Javier's vision.
Estes jumped straight down from the dragon's back, and after landing on the ground easily, he raised his hand to pull a trace of wind-blown hair behind his ear, and saw Javier disassembling the corpse of the Tyrannosaurus King, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Need help?" I'm pretty good at handling prey. ”
"No need, just watch there, I can do it alone."
Peeling off a full hide, Javier replied without looking back.
It's been a month since the duel with Estes that day.,Because of the bet.,The two can be almost inseparable during this time.,Except for an occasional date.,Even work is tired of being together.,This crusade against the super dangerous species naturally has Estes with him.。
Although he felt quite uncomfortable at first, after adjusting his mentality, Javier gradually got used to the daily life of Estes all the time, and occasionally when he couldn't see her, he even felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - I have to say, human beings are really a very adaptable creature, and one word is particularly cheap.
Estes watched with interest as Javier was busy there, and found that his movements were neat and neat, and he was obviously a middle and old player, so he exclaimed: "The technique is quite professional, aren't you from a noble background?" How do you feel so used to doing this kind of chores? ”
Javier was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "I grew up in the fortress in the southwest, which is close to the Sunset Mountains, and dealing with dangerous species is a common thing, how can I do it if I am not used to it?" What's more, the Salmondo family is very strict, and I rarely have the opportunity to experience the so-called aristocratic life - training, learning the art of war, fighting, that was all I had in my childhood. ”
"Looks like you grew up in a great environment." Estes sighed.
"Great?" Javier was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "In a sense, it is indeed true, thanks to my father's Spartan education when I was a child, I now have the ability to influence the future of the empire, and I don't need to pin my hopes on others." ”
After a pause, he added: "Speaking of which, you seem to be the daughter of the patriarch of the northern fighting nation 'Balutus', I heard that it is a martial tribe that hunts dangerous species for a living, and everyone in it is a powerful warrior...... It's no wonder that only that extreme environment can forge a guy like you who is born to fight. ”
Estes smiled when he heard this, and looked away: "...... Even such a powerful race is now in the past tense, the cavalry of the northern alien race has killed them, and I am the only one who survived. ”
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"What is there to apologize for - the strong live, the weak die, this world is like this, I've long been used to it, aren't you the same?"
Estes looked directly into Javier's eyes, and his tone was full of indifference, but showed a pure smile: "Cruelty is cruel, but in other words, as long as you become a strong person, isn't it okay?" As long as you become a strong person, won't you be able to live as a matter of course? Isn't it interesting to have such a simple world? ”
Javier's movements stopped, his fingers holding the dagger tightened slightly, and he continued his work as if nothing had happened.
"You're right, that's the right idea, nature is always the jungle, and it's the same with humans...... However, there is still a fundamental difference between us and the beasts, for man, survival is sometimes not the primary goal, and man can also spare his life for the sake of something that the Holy Spirit wants to protect. ”
"Oh?" Estes was interested, "Say what?" ”
"Who knows, everyone's situation is different."
Javier glanced at her and said softly, "If one day you find something more precious than your own life, I believe you will understand......"
"What, this ambiguous statement." Estes pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
If there has been any substantial progress between the two in the past month, the answer is no, but the atmosphere between them has softened a lot, and the communication on weekdays is more casual, at least there will be no more tension in two or three wrong sentences.
It's been a third of the time since the appointment, but Estes doesn't seem to be in a hurry, except for the fact that he usually likes to torture Javier's spirit with some unreliable knowledge he learned from books, everything is normal.
Although the prospects are not particularly promising, they are already quite good developments for these two people with communication disorders.
"This is a super dangerous ...... It's called the Storm Ape King, right? ”
Estes looked at the hides that had been set aside by Javier, and said thoughtfully, "Is there such a dangerous species in the Empire?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"Probably migrated from the Western Kingdom, there is a Crescent Moon Forest in the south over there, which is the main habitat of dangerous ape species, if the territory of this Tyrannical Ape King was seized by other powerful dangerous species, it is indeed possible to come to the empire from that far away......"
Speaking of this, Javier suddenly remembered something.
I remember that Marika once said that the one who killed her parents in the mercenary mission a few years ago was a tyrannical ape king, and I don't know if it was the same one he killed?
Such a thought flashed, and Javier shook his head and smiled, not taking it to heart.
Although the number of super dangerous species is indeed small, where is such a coincidence in this world? It should be that he thinks too much.
