Chapter 5 Fighting Monsters and Upgrading
The straight-line distance from Ximu Town to Xueman City is actually not far, but there is a mountain in the middle, and the mountain climbing road will delay some time.
Of course, the mountains of Skyrim Province are not safe, wild wolves, wild boars, knife cats, and large bears are all common beasts, which are quite easy for experienced Skyrim warriors to deal with, if you encounter huge frost spiders and trolls that can spray venom, it will be more troublesome, I hope you can run fast enough. Oh, and those robbers who didn't have a son, they never left a living mouth in their robberies, this is really ugly. Well, yes, now they have another little friend named Dragon, haha.
Walking on the mountain road, because there is Saipu together, the hearts of the three adventurers are somewhat steady. After all, 3 skills, 3,4 times their attributes and rich combat experience will definitely be bullish to fight. What's more, they also have leather boots, leather armor, iron gauntlets, leather hats, big swords, longbows and other full sets of equipment.
No, a huge knife cat in the distance just watched vigilantly, and did not dare to step forward to eat meat, and our big protagonist His Excellency just glanced at it from beginning to end and ignored it, just buried his head in the road. However, although these two big guys don't have the heart to fight, our adventurer Ling Chen doesn't agree.
He stopped the protagonist and said, "After the disaster of losing my home, I deeply understood that I was too weak before, so I want to become stronger, strong enough to be like the Nord hero in the book, I want to slay dragons!" Please help me, Saip. β
"Wee Chen, my Nord brother, I'm proud of you, and I'm going to fight alongside you." Saipu replied as he looked at Ling Chen's expectant gaze.
"So." In the early morning, the iron arrow pulled out the wooden bow in his hand, aiming at the knife cat is arrow, "Let's fight." β
The arrow was well spotted at the cat's feet, and the frightened cat ran to the crowd, intending to teach them its strength and stomach.
"As you wish, brother." Saipu carried a bow and arrows behind him, and he took a cold light sword in both hands and went up. This wandering man in the sky is not short of blood.
"Is that okay?" The old cannon was dumbfounded.
"......" Begonia also looked at Ling Chen, who was snickering, with a strange face, and then raised the snow wolf staff and closed his eyes, the snow-white gem on the staff lit up a purple light ball, and with a flick of his hand, the purple light ball turned into a snow-colored fierce wolf more than one meter high and a wide back.
Seeing the snow wolf rushing towards the knife cat with Saipu, he gave a thumbs up to Begonia in the early morning, and then stepped forward as well. As for the old cannon, he stayed by the begonia with a long hammer, which could be counted as protection.
Although the knife cat is called a cat, its size is much larger than that of the snow wolf, with a short tail and two long fangs exposed on the upper jaw, which looks like a saber-toothed tiger at all.
As soon as it made contact, Saipu flexibly moved around the knife cat, and as soon as it pounced, it dodged, and the big sword cut a hideous wound on the knife cat. By the time the summoned snow wolf rushed up and tore the knife cat together, there were already three more bloody wounds on the cat's body.
Although the size of the snow wolf is smaller than that of the knife cat, the summoned creature is not afraid of death, and it is not false at all to exchange injuries for injuries. Seeing this, he pulled his bow and shot arrows when he saw this, but his accuracy was not good, so he simply put away his bow and arrows, took out his sword and shield, and rushed around the back knife cat.
Fancy the opportunity, kill for a thousand years!
"Whew!" The knife cat was shamelessly burst in the early morning, and the snow wolf took the opportunity to bite the knife cat's neck and pounce it to the ground, and Saipu stabbed it into the lower abdomen with a big sword.
The knife cat was shamelessly attacked by the front, middle and back parties, and its life was in danger of bursting with amazing strength, it kicked down Ling Ling as soon as it kicked its legs, and then got up and overturned the snow wolf and bit it on the neck of the snow wolf, and even Saipu temporarily avoided the edge and retreated with his sword.
But the big cat was too badly injured, and it was already the end of the crossbow. Ling Chen saw clearly, and as soon as its strength passed, he got up and shouted "I'm coming", and then rushed up with a shield in his left hand and slammed it down on the cat's head, slapping it to the ground, and finally stabbed a sword in his right hand into the open cat's mouth. After doing all this, Ling Chen left the sword in the cat's mouth and abandoned the sword and retreated, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
And the knife cat, after struggling for a while, finally died.
[Adventurer early morning, kill a knife cat, +80 gold]
"Hey, hey." Seeing a black card appear on the cat, Ling Ling quickly got up and fished it in his hand.
[Knife Cat's Eye: Black Iron 2 Stars (Inactive): Equipment card, necklace, made from feline eyes, enhance the wearer's dynamic vision, and gain a certain degree of night vision. - DURABILITY (5/5), WEIGHT +0.2KG (100 GOLD REQUIRED TO ACTIVATE)]
"How are you?" Saipu stepped forward to ask about the early morning.
"I'm fine, thank you for your help." Ling Chen put away the card and pulled out his iron sword again, "I just need to take a break." β
"It's fine." Sepp looked left and right and pointed to a large rock and said, "Where are you going to rest and eat, it just so happens that I have something to do." β
Saying that, he took out a dagger and performed skinning torture on the knife cat on the ground, and after looking at it in the early morning, he said that he was not interested, and then he went to eat vegetable beef patties on the big stone on the side with Begonia and Lao Cannon.
"You adapt so fast, you shouldn't be a soldier in reality?" Begonia came up and said.
"No, it's just a wage earner, and didn't you participate just now, your snow wolf is indispensable." I touched the blood on my face in the early morning.
"It's different, if I go up and get a sword to chop, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it now." Begonia shook her head.
"Now?" Ling Chen smiled, she can't do it now, that is, she can do it in the future?
"You're all amazing." The old cannon looked at it and seemed to interject happily, "By the way, what is the card this time, and how many gold coins are rewarded?" β
"Equipment card, 100 gold to activate." Ling Chen glanced at the old cannon and replied simply, and then asked Haitang: "Did you receive a gold reward just now?" β
"Nope." Begonia looked disappointed. Yes, the main god has stipulated, there is a reward for killing, and there is no soup for an assist.
"Understood, I'll let you take the head next time I have a chance." Ling Chen said. As for the cents of gold coins? Inexistent.
Seeing that Ling Chen was perfunctory, the old cannon had a big eye, and in an instant, he smiled and ate dry food, and Haitang didn't say anything after looking at Ling Chen. After Saipu finished skinning the cat and extracting the cat's teeth, the four of them ate dry food and rested for a while, and then set out on the road again.
With his previous experience, Saipu was no longer in a hurry, and mainly pestered him in the early morning to ask for combat skills. So, along the way, the four of them plagued some of the animals on the mountain. It's just that in the early morning, I found that if you kill a goat, foxes and other animals don't give gold coins, and side quest 1 - Animal Killer doesn't prompt the progress to complete. Therefore, the main object is still the wild wolf, these animals are fierce enough, there are a lot of them, and they are not too terrible, just for the three adventurers to practice.
There are snow wolves who go up to fight monsters, plus the Saipu Sweeping Array, and in the early morning, I killed two wild wolves, earning 100 gold, and the progress of side quest 1 (4/5). Lao Cannon and Begonia also picked up a "human head" and killed a wolf each, getting 50 gold, and the progress of side quest 1 (1/5).
Unfortunately, though, not a single card came out again. Also, the first wolf killed in the early morning should be an appetizer rewarded by the main god, and the saber-toothed tiger is stronger than the wolf, so the early morning has to take three black iron cards cheaply. Now everyone is slowly getting used to it, not to mention that with Saipu, a foreign aid, you can easily kill wolves, and you still want cards? Thinking too much, why don't you let the Lord God ask you for great health care if you are so naΓ―ve?
Originally, it was not bad to kill wolves like this, at least there were gold coins to take, and they could also do tasks. However, the reality always does not allow people to be too smooth, so when killing the second wolf in the early morning, the left hand holding the shield gave the wolf a bite, but fortunately, Saipu brought trauma medicine and bandages to treat wolf injuries so that the injury did not worsen.
Moreover, Begonia has consumed too much mental power because of the repeated summoning of the snow wolf, and his face is already pale, and Saipu is also afraid that killing too many wolves will cause the wolves to chase and kill, so the four of them are in a hurry, hoping to rush to the snow city as soon as possible so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Walking on the road, although Ling Chen was injured, after seeing a few loot cards and the number of gold coins, his mood was not too bad.

It's just that they just want to get to Xueman quickly, just like I said before, reality always likes to play tricks on people, or the main god doesn't want them to complete the main quest too easily, so they met robbers.
