Chapter 214: The Poor Dagger (Second Update, Asking for Subscription)
Chapter 214
A monster that dares to attack so many humans alone is naturally not an ordinary monster. Howlers are very rare. It seems that it will only appear if there is some unknown mutation of the Demon of the Uts.
The knives of several mercenaries slashed at the body of the howler. Some small scars appeared. But this wound healed quickly. On the contrary, the howler casually waved the wooden stick in his hand and directly whipped a mercenary away.
And at this moment, a shouting figure rushed forward. The bright armor stood out in the light of the torches. It was the righteous knight. Su Yuan just found out not long ago that that guy's name was Haydn. I saw Sir Haydn screaming and rushing forward. But the movements in the hands are not weak.
Even when he was wearing armor, he still made a nimble dodge move. While avoiding the howling monster stick, the whole person sliced through the side. The sword in his hand left a scar on the howler's body.
At the same time, Yennefer's attack arrived. A cloud of chaotic energy gathered in her hands. A simple energy blast directly interrupted the howling monster's forward steps. Having lost the momentum of the charge, the howler felt a little bad. But by this time, it was a little too late to leave, and Renfrey had already followed.
The Dark Sisters in her hand are not the ordinary steel swords of those mercenaries. The Valyrian steel sword drew a brilliant arc. A huge head flew into the air.
There was an abrupt silence. The group of mercenaries, as well as the noisy dwarves, were stunned at this moment. No one thought that the female swordsman, who looked a little emaciated, would have such a strong strength. What's more, the other party's sword is obviously not an ordinary long sword.
Su Yuan noticed that among the mercenaries, a few of them had already appeared with a greedy look. Even Borch, who was on the side, glanced at the sword in Renfrey's hand a few more times.
After a mess, the dawn has come. Two mercenaries were wounded. But the rest of the people didn't seem to be ready to take them, or send them back down the mountain. Instead, they left some food and left them to fend for themselves. And the two wounded didn't say anything special, as if it was normal.
There were two people missing, but it had little effect on the whole team. Everyone continued on the road, but Su Yuan and the three deviated slightly from the route. They traced the path of the howler yesterday and traced it in reverse.
Very close, only a few hundred meters away, the three found a cave. A strong smell of blood came from the cave. When I entered the cave, I saw countless human corpses, and the corpse of a giant wolf was twisted into a ball.
"I see, I said why the howler was attacking us out of nowhere. Looks like the camp is too close. ”
Renfrey stepped over the corpse on the ground and opened an extraordinarily tall wolf corpse.
"This ...... Is it a werewolf? This werewolf is the leader of the pack. They were the ones who attacked the mercenaries from before. ”
"It's a pity that their dinner has just begun, and they are targeted by stronger hunters. The howling monster was staring at the corpses, or rather, at the wolves. It killed all the wolves, and with the werewolf, took over the cave. But its dinner party also didn't start before it started, and we were disturbed. That's why it hits us. Yennefer followed Renfree's words and completed the whole story.
At this time, Su Yuan's mind moved, and he opened the corpse of a giant wolf in the deepest part of the cave. There were actually a few little fluffy guys crawling out of it.
"Do you want to kill it?" Renfrey said as she drew her sword. But Su Yuan went to her.
"Take it with you. I have an idea to experiment with them. ”
The three of them quickened their pace and caught up with the group in front. By this time, they had reached the face of the last mountain. That huge snow-capped mountain. And when everyone saw the path that Borch was talking about, they were all speechless.
Because it was a road on the edge of a cliff, made of iron roofs and wooden planks, only forty centimeters wide. On one side is a straight cliff, while on the other side is a bottomless cliff.
"Just kidding, I'm never going down this path." The dwarven brothers began to complain again.
"If you don't go here, you can only climb over this snow-capped mountain. That could take a month, so take your pick. Borch persuaded the mercenaries and the dwarves in a few words. Sometimes Su Yuan couldn't figure out that such a thing as slaying a dragon, no matter how you look at it, is a life of death. Why are these mercenaries just unwilling to give up?
Ye Nefu on the side seemed to see through Su Yuan's thoughts, and said: "Doing an earth-shattering thing, and then gaining the appreciation of a nobleman, becoming a knight, or a knight, is the best way for these mercenaries to get in and out of the second half of their lives." That's why they are desperate to participate in this kind of action. ”
On the cliffs, wind and snow are blowing. Everyone grabbed the iron chain, arranged it in a line shape, and moved it little by little. I don't know how much wind and snow the plank under my feet has experienced. Some of them have long since decayed. After only a few dozen meters, one of the mercenaries stepped into the air and fell under the cliff. After a scream, I couldn't even hear the sound of landing.
The crowd barely stopped and moved on. At this time, Borch in front of Su Yuan suddenly stepped on the air, and the whole person fell towards the bottom of the cliff. However, Su Yuan had long been guarding against it. As soon as he reached out, he grabbed him directly by the collar and lifted him back.
Borch's face was a little embarrassed. There is a feeling of being seen through. It was true, Su Yuan knew that it would pretend to fall here. Then rush to the dragon's lair in advance and wait for everyone. Because the body of this old man is the last golden dragon on the mainland. Its purpose is not to slay dragons, but to protect its own kind.
It's a pity that his plan didn't work out. Because Su Yuan was staring at him all the time. Before the plan started, it was directly snuffed out by Su Yuan. He knew that Su Yuan might have seen through him, but he didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't expose him. He could feel that Su Yuan had no ill will towards it, but he always interrupted his thoughts like a mischief at critical moments.
After a long trek of more than two hours, everyone finally crossed the plank road that can be called nonsense. Came to the very center of the mountains. Borch said, pointing to the hillside not far ahead.
"That's the dragon's lair. It looks like we were the first to arrive. I propose that we rest for the night, recuperate, and think about slaying dragons tomorrow. ”
However, at this time, the group of mercenaries suddenly moved.
