Chapter 245: Ice Peak Station and Gladiatorial Tournament
Manhattan was not careless about the departure of the wolves, because everyone understands that wolves are cunning by nature, and they will not let go of their prey lightly, and the reason why they will leave is because they see a large number of prey, so they have to gather their companions to attack again.
Sure enough, when the convoy had moved forward for more than half an hour, more wolf howls were heard in the distance, and then one by one, the eyes glowing green approached.
Manhattan was wearing a mask, and although he couldn't see his face, it could be seen from the tone of his voice that he was not afraid of these ice wolves, and even appeared very calmly.
"First squad, follow me to kill the wolves, and the rest of the squad will stand by."
Like a good hunter, Manhattan rode out first, taking the initiative to meet the wolves running in this direction.
His weapon was a knight's spear, and he sprinted at an accelerated pace, using the horse's inertia to meet the first wolf.
The tip of the spear was slightly lifted upwards towards the ground, but it was just a mistake, and there was an extra corpse of an ice wolf on his gun.
The men of the first squad also raised their weapons to join the battle, and the howls of wolves and the shouts of people were intertwined on the otherwise peaceful path of broken ice.
System: You and your teammates kill the Icewolf, gaining 302 experience points.
System: You and your teammates kill the Icewolf, gaining 301 experience.
β¦β¦
Ruan Chi sat in the carriage, the information in front of him kept scrolling, from the beginning of joining the adventure group of jungle hunters, Ruan Chi pulled most of the people in the group into his team.
No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are all meat, and although the level of these ice wolves is not high, they add up to quite a lot. And you don't have to take action by Ruan Chi himself. This kind of good thing Ruan Chi naturally will not let go.
Jungle Hunter inside. There are only three people Ruan Chi can't get closer to the team, they are the head of the regiment Manhattan, the deputy head of the regiment Satsuma and a woman with an ugly appearance, Ruan Chi has scouted their levels respectively, not to mention Satsuma, a 74-level master magician.
As for the head of the regiment, Manhattan's level is the same as Satsuma's, and he is a level 74 master knight. The only thing that surprised Ruan Chi was the woman named Mei Ling. It was actually a master, a king-level swordsman of level 77, with long reddish-brown hair, tied into a twisted braid on her chest, her face was covered with scars for some reason, and she looked as hideous as a demon, although she looked ugly, but her voice was surprisingly good.
The battle ended quickly, and the result was, of course, a big win for the Manhattan side, except for one team member who was accidentally bitten on the calf. Almost no one was injured.
After clearing the icy wolves in the way, the convoy set off again.
System: You discovered the Ice Peak Station.
After the convoy drove off the crushed ice trail. The terrain is getting steeper and steeper, and a snow-capped mountain soon appears in front of you, and when the convoy reaches the halfway point of the mountain, the system pops up such a prompt.
In the distance, he stood up from the horse's carriage and put one hand in front of his forehead, and sure enough, he saw a simple post station built on a mountain peak, and through the hazy vision, the light of the bonfire could be seen.
Unexpectedly, there would be people in such a wilderness place, Ruan Chi couldn't help but wonder who was living in this post station, whether it was a soldier of the human race or a resident of the orc race.
After the jungle hunter's convoy found the station, Manhattan in front immediately ordered everyone to hang out the flag representing the adventure, after all, this is the territory of the orc race, in order to avoid suspicion, the adventure party should be the first to identify themselves with the other party.
When the convoy stopped in front of the post station, Ruan Chi also saw its structure clearly, built on a mountain, surrounded by steep peaks on three sides, and a five-meter-high fence made of huge logs on one side, and a faint figure walking on the sentry post above.
βΠΏΡΡΠΎΠΏΡΡβ¦β¦β
There seemed to be someone talking to the convoy from the sentry post, but Ruan Chi didn't understand it at all when he first heard it, because he had never heard this language before.
"We are jungle hunters of the adventure group of the Terran Free Federation, passing by your land, and want to rest inside for the night." Manhattan rode forward with the flag of his adventuring group and shouted.
βΠΏΡΡΠΎβ¦β¦β
There was another incomprehensible sound of speech from above, and it took a moment for Manhattan to wait for some intelligible language to come from above.
"Are you a Terran adventurer? What is the evidence? β
As if he had known this for a long time, Manhattan immediately took out a parchment scroll from his bosom and shouted, "This is our transit document using the interracial teleportation array, with the seal of a noble border officer on it. β
"You wait."
That's all it said, and then the silence fell back into it.
After about half a minute, there was a sudden sound of "squeak" and "squeak" gears turning in the post station, and then the post gate in front of the convoy slowly rose.
A group of figures with torches came out of it, and Ruan Chi's eyes widened, because what came out were clearly wolf-headed people with long hairs.
"That's right, how did I forget that this is the country of the orc clan wolf, and it shouldn't be strange to see werewolves." Ruan Chi cupped his forehead and muttered to himself.
Among these werewolves, a gray-haired werewolf who looked relatively old came out, and he came to Manhattan and said in a deep voice: "I am the stationmaster of this station, a friend of the Terrans, if you want to enter the station to rest, you must hand over the paperwork to me for inspection." β
Manhattan had already jumped off his horse, holding the transit paperwork in both hands, and walked up to the wolf-headed man and handed it over.
The wolf-headed stationmaster took the paperwork and opened it for two glances, then nodded and said, "There is indeed a border officer's seal, please, go inside and rest." β
"Thank you, Beast God."
Manhattan seems to have dealt with orcs on a regular basis, and when they retake the paperwork, they return the favor with orc etiquette and thanks.
Hearing Manhattan's words, the wolf-headed stationmaster's face seemed to look much better, and he personally directed the convoy into the station.
The interior of the post station was larger than Ruan Chi had imagined, and in addition to various houses made of wood, there were many wolf residents living here.
Because this is a relatively close place to the Terran territory, these wolf residents have lived in the post station for a long time, so it is convenient to exchange their goods with the Terran merchants. So this post station looks down at first glance. Kind of like a small town of the Terrans.
After staying in the inn. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it is fortunate that the post station is found here, otherwise the convoy will have to camp in the field today, which will have a very negative impact on the execution of the later tasks.
Because the head of the regiment, Manhattan, understood the etiquette of the orc race, he was invited to a dinner party for the wolf residents that night, and Ruan Chi and the others were invited.
Sitting on the edge of the campfire, Ruan Chi sat bored, the orcs were all hairy and blood-drinking guys. Although he later followed the neutral camp of the human race and learned some cooking skills, it was always at the level of primitive people, and those wild boar legs that were burned into a paste and had no seasoning to flirt, Ruan Chi was not interested in just taking a bite.
Anyway, there is a system to correct his physical state, and Ruan Chi will not feel hungry, so he simply sits there in a daze and does not eat anything.
Mo Li, this guy ate with relish, and saw that the wild boar leg beside Ruan Chi had not moved. You didn't want to come over politely, Ruan Chi also scolded with a smile: "Are you a pig?" Eat your own companions! β
The wolf clan is a warlike group. Or rather, all orcs are warlike, and they are full of worship for the strong and indifferent to the weak, so by some definition, the Manhattan captain who made the law of the jungle has an appetite for these wolf people.
They talked all the way, bursting into loud laughter from time to time.
After eating and drinking, a wolf tribe man then drunkenly proposed to try his martial arts skills with the human race, and this mention yì immediately got the consent of the stationmaster, and said that it was a good time for him, saying that today was the gladiatorial meeting of their wolf clan.
When the Jungle Hunter Adventure Group sitting heard this, most of them sneered in their hearts, almost all of them knew that the wolf clan would hold this kind of gladiatorial tournament twice a day, where did it come from?
"Friend, why don't you come from afar to compete with our people, everyone chooses three people each, and the loser writes a text on each other, how about this?" The stationmaster of the post station said in an unquestioning tone.
"It's not bad to try this test, but our adventure group really has a mission tomorrow, if someone is injured, I'm afraid it will be delayed until tomorrow's mission." The Manhattan regiment commander excused himself.
"Friend, it's not right for you to say that, if you are afraid of the gladiatorial competition, do you dare to fight for your life in a real battle, I heard that you are going to go into the frost forest to find the Spotted Leopard, let's take this Gladiatorial Tournament as a warm-up, otherwise with your guts, you will be scared before you touch the Spotted Leopard, haha......" The stationmaster of the post station said in the back, letting out a presumptuous laugh, obviously laughing at the timidity of the Terrans present.
As an A-level adventure group, the members of the jungle hunters were originally arrogant guys, how could they let others laugh at them, and among the members sitting below, someone immediately stood up and shouted: "Bibi, team leader, I am willing to be the first to fight." β
Manhattan under the mask frowned visibly, but quickly stretched it out and said with a smile: "Since the stationmaster is so gracious, we are disrespectful, Peter, you come first." β
The man who was called jumped out with a pat on his chest, and Ruan Chi noticed that this person was a member of the first squad of the combatants.
The wolf clan side also quickly sent someone, it was a wolf-headed man with brown hair, the other party was still shirtless in this icy and snowy environment, Ruan Chi could see those criss-crossing scars hidden under the fur, it could be seen that the other party was also a wolf clan warrior with experienced combat experience.
Throwing a reconnaissance technique at the heads of the two men respectively, Ruan Chi quickly got their information.

Note: The wolf warriors of the Ice Peak Station have sharp fangs and are extremely aggressive.
As soon as the information of the two was compared, Ruan Chi could almost guess what the result of this competition was, and the level of the two might be about the same, but the orc warriors on the wolf clan's side obviously had the innate advantage of strong attack power, which was the case that he did not go berserk.
Sure enough, when Peter saw the other party's two sharp wolf claws and a height of two heads taller than himself, his face suddenly became a little ugly.
Peter himself is also tall among humans, and his body is also very strong, but when he stood with the wolf-headed man in front of him, he was half a cut short on the spot, and there was no comparison at all, especially the other party's pair of arms were thicker than the thighs, and the pair of sharp claws were cold and shining, looking like several sharp knives.
"You can use your own weapons." The wolf clan's stationmaster said at this time.
Peter glanced at his regimental commander, and it wasn't until Manhattan nodded at him that he returned to his place and picked up his weapon, a two-handed broadsword.
After grabbing his familiar weapon, Peter regained some confidence, and then walked with the wolf-headed man to the middle of the field, where he drew a simple circle, about twenty meters in diameter.
"It's time to go." The werewolf stationmaster shouted.
"Come on, Peter, rush up and deal with this guy."
"That's right, these wolf-headed people just look bigger."
β¦β¦
After the start of the competition was announced, the members of the Jungle Hunters let out various cheering sounds, and Mo Li next to Ruan Chi also tore his throat and shouted.
The shouts of his companions kept coming from his ears, and a sense of pride immediately surged up in Peter's chest, and he shouted, and the two-palm-wide sword was lifted lightly by him, and then he rushed towards the other party.
The wolf-headed man seemed to stand carelessly, and when he saw Pete rushing over, he made a startling move, grinning and slamming his head into Peter's great sword.
Peter was also shocked when he saw this scene, although the other party provoked it first, but if he killed the werewolf in the wolf clan's station, this matter was very big.
Seeing that his sword was about to be slashed, Peter suddenly stopped his figure, and at the same time shifted the blade to the left a little, and the big sword finally rubbed the opponent's ear and smashed to the ground with a "bang".
Just when Peter secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the werewolf suddenly showed a hideous smile, and his speed did not slow down, and he clenched his right hand fist and hit the unsuspecting Peter in the face.
With a "snap", the bridge of Peter's nose was broken, and blood fell to the ground.
The jungle hunter members who watched the battle shouted despicable, but the wolf clan stationmaster of the post station stood up with his hands behind his back and shouted, "In the first competition, the warriors of the wolf clan won. (To be continued......)
