70. Talk and laugh

Althea's surprise was not unreasonable, the human-wolf was mutated by the dire wolves in the twilight forest eating some kind of undead. From the original beast, it has become a dark-natured humanoid creature, agile, brutal and bloodthirsty, with an unparalleled thirst for flesh. The downside is the fear of the Light and Silver, which vaporizes their dark bodies, and the Silver Weapon destroys the man-wolf's powerful self-healing abilities and weakens them.

Althea's dagger is coated with a thin layer of silver, and when the sharp blade cuts through the werewolf's skin, the silver layer behind it destroys the human-wolf's self-healing ability. And because the body of the human wolf is too strong, the human wolf has a very powerful heart, when the artery is cut and the self-healing ability is destroyed, the human wolf will lose a lot of blood and lose strength in a short period of time. Under the tremendous pressure of the heart in the human wolf's body, the blood spurting from the arterial wound can even spurt several meters away. But even if the human wolf is drained of all its blood, it will not really die because of this, and there is only one way to really die for the human wolf - to destroy the human wolf's heart with the power of holy light or a silver weapon, so that it can be completely killed, and there is no possibility of resurrection.

It was precisely because of the harsh way of killing the killer wolf that Althea was surprised that Lin Wen used a bullet made of bronze to kill the killer wolf.

"Those monsters certainly can't be killed with just bullets." Lin Wen shook his head, "I used fire to burn a human wolf alive to charcoal. ”

"By the way, how did you kill the killer wolf?" Lin Wen suddenly thought of this question and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's the Light." Althea pointed to the gem on the pillar above her head, and then pulled out her dagger, "And silver, silver can terminate the self-healing ability of human wolves, when there is no self-healing ability, these monsters that seem to be strong and strong are actually not difficult to kill." If you're okay by tomorrow, I'll give you some gear to kill the human wolves as compensation. ”

"Okay, thank you then." Hearing that there was compensation, the depression in Lin Wen's heart was suddenly swept away. After drinking the last sip of the creamy soup, Lin Wen lay comfortably on the bed in the cage, "Althea, if you are fine, can you introduce me to this place as a newcomer?" ”

"Gladly." It's nice for Althea to have someone to talk to at night, "This is Nighttown, the only safe area in the Twilight Forest after Raven Ridge was destroyed by the undead, and the guards in charge of defending Nighttown are called Nightwatchmen, and I am the commander of Nightwatch. ”

"You're the head of the guard here?" Lin Wen sat up in shock.

"What? Look down on me? Is it because I look too young? Or is it because I'm a woman? Lin Wen's surprised expression caused Althea to be slightly unhappy.

"No, I'm just a little surprised that the chief of a town guard is so young and pretty." Although Lin Wen's words meant that it was a little girl who was the captain of the guard, it was a little strange. But after listening to Lin Wen's words, Althea didn't feel the slightest anger, but was a little happy.

"Miss Althea isn't just young and pretty." The two were chatting happily, and a burly uncle walked over with a heavy axe, the face of the axe shimmered silver in the light of the holy light, and it was obvious that the surface of the axe was also plated with silver, "Miss Altea's command ability is second to none in Night Town. ”

Indeed, the head is more important than the muscles in the role of team commander.

"Hey, Uncle Fraser, is there something wrong?" Althea greeted the visitor.

"It's midnight, Miss Althea, do you need a shift change?" Fraser said.

"No, I'll talk to our guests again, you go and get busy, leave me alone."

"Yes."

"Where did we just go?" After Fraser left, Althea pulled the hair that hung down to her ears and said to Lin Wen.

"The defense of Nighttown."

"Well, the Night's Watch army is responsible for maintaining law and order here and keeping civilians safe. Two years ago, when the human wolves began to appear, we built a tall wall for the entire town, as well as these 8 pillars of holy light, and the sun stone at the top of the pillars was fixed with a powerful holy light spell, which permanently shrouded the entire town in holy light, so that we would not be corrupted by the chaotic magic of the forest, and also keep out the nasty undead and dark creatures of this kind and that in the forest. ”

"As for the walls, we will open two gates during the day, and at night they will be completely sealed, and if you want to get out, you have to climb out of the walls yourself, and if you want to come back, you have to climb over the walls and come back, just like you did before. It's free to get out of town, but you have to be tested when you come back from outside, especially if you're injured, and you have to quarantine for the night to make sure you don't become a human wolf, as you do now. ”

"I think I understand a little." Lin Wen nodded, "So as an adventurer, what should you pay attention to in the twilight forest?" ”

"When it comes to danger, there is nothing worse than the man-wolf, which is fast, bloodthirsty, and will take the initiative to attack humans. Then there are the undead, but they move slowly, and as long as they don't go deep into the cemetery, they won't encounter those ugly things. The most prevalent threat is the wildlife in the twilight forests, starting with the dire wolf, which is found everywhere in the forest, most often on the banks of rivers in the north. Dire wolves aren't the kind of leper dogs you'd meet back home, they're as big as humans and fierce. ”

Althea thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "By the way, in addition to the dire wolf, there are also widow spiders, these big spiders will build webs on trees, and then use them to hunt reckless prey, if you want to go deep into the forest, then remember to look up from time to time, being bitten by these widow spiders is not a joke." ”

Lin Wen and Althea chatted in the middle of the night, because of the fatigue of the journey, Lin Wen couldn't hold on, lying on the bed and falling asleep, while Althea sat next to the cage a little distracted, from past experience, humans will become human wolves within 4 hours after being bitten by human wolves, and without exception. But how long has it been now? It's almost dawn! The adventurer, named CarrΓ©, showed no signs of change. Quiet and peaceful, not at all like the temper of the infected, and there are no adverse reactions to contact with silver objects. All of this showed that Lin Wen was not infected, and Althea was suddenly a little excited, finally seeing the first human who could not be infected by human wolves.
