When John threw the wooden stick, he just wanted to be able to interrupt the rhythm of the middle-aged man's pace, and it would be best if he could be distracted, and then he could see if there was a chance to escape. I didn't expect that the middle-aged man would stare at the direction where the wooden stick flew out, could it be that he was a dog in his last life?

While complaining in his heart, John would not give up this opportunity, and with both hands raised his sword horizontally at the height of his left shoulder, he rushed forward quickly, and stabbed into the gap in the armor. In the past, when the Ash Man had just woken up from his coffin, he had taken a wooden stick and a wooden shield and worked hard to defeat Guda Sensei, and rushed through the sea of fire created by the Wyvern to reach the high wall of Lothric, only to be beaten by the knights of Lothric stationed there. Back at the sacrificial ground, John gritted his teeth and bought a short sword from the old woman. Relying on the upper part of the short sword to break through the defense of the knight's shield and then chasing, or quickly attacking and piercing the opponent's weak hole at a slightly greater distance are all combat methods that I don't know how long I have been practicing, and these two moves are also very useful when taking risks later. These two actions can be said to have become John's instinct, and the moment he saw the middle-aged man's distraction, John seized the opportunity to rush over and attack.

With one blow, John drew his sword and dodged the sword swung by the middle-aged man backwards, and continued to look for this opportunity to attack from time to time, and hit a sword where the middle-aged man's armor could not be defended. Judging from the touch of the thin sword piercing into the body just now, the sharpness of this thin sword was higher than he had estimated before, and he didn't feel any damage to this sword when he parried the man's attack, but there were gaps in the blade of the long sword in the man's hand one after another. John thought to himself that this was probably what the sword's attributes called blade and sturdiness.

Although his own equipment is much better than John's, but because the weapon in his hand is not as good as the noble rapier, the combat experience is much less than John's, and he was hit hard by John's first attack, and the middle-aged man was kicked to the ground by John without taking a few moves in John's hands, and then made up for the result.

Feeling that he had absorbed about 150 souls, John stopped paying attention to the man who was still twitching on the ground, and was ready to observe the progress of those rookie knights. "Huh" John saw that the knights, who were still inseparable from the mercenaries, had already fallen to the ground and rolled with their faces, and the rest had no regulations and no cooperation, and it seemed that it was no longer a problem for the mercenaries to break out of the encirclement.

It seems that there is no danger to me over there. John thought as he walked off into the distance, ready to wait for both sides to leave to see if that spot of light was their target. In John's previous experience, although he now has a relatively handy weapon in his hand, it is still very difficult to use more than one enemy. If that point of light is taken away, forget it, and if it is not taken away, you can still pick up a leak.

Although it was a bit of a pity that he didn't get anything useful from the middle-aged man, John was actually used to it. In the past, John had inadvertently killed a lantern farmer in the Immortal Street and obtained a Flame Gem, but was unable to obtain a Dark Sword from a Lifestealer. This kind of gain is not proportional to combat effectiveness, which is the daily life. This time, he had just killed an enemy and got the weapon in his hand, which already made John want to say: "LongmaytheSunshine!"

While searching for a hidden place and thinking about it, John noticed that the soul amount had not moved for a long time after it had been increased twice. With this in mind, John snuck up to the hill and saw that the three mercenaries had killed two knights, and were now tying up the remaining three knights one-on-one to take them away. After tying the knight's hands firmly behind his back, two of the knights began to search the three of them for knives and the like, while the other mercenary skillfully stripped off the equipment of his own and the two knights, pressing the heavier items such as the cuirassa and shield against the captive, and himself followed behind with the knight's sword and his own sword, looking around vigilantly. After all, the situation just now is really weird, and no one can guarantee that the surroundings are safe.

However, John didn't mean to be in the past, and went down the hill again before being discovered by the mercenaries, and only after estimating that it was not a short time before sticking out his head to peek. It wasn't until they were out of sight that John slowly stood up. However, John found a very strange thing, those people did not take away the point of light when they cleaned the battlefield just now, it seems that it has not been cleaned yet, and there is an extra point of light in the place where they fought just now.

John walked around his head slowly, looked around for a while, and after making sure that there were no traps and ambushes, John walked towards the two points of light. The first thing I got was the first point of light that was discovered, which was a ring. Casually putting it in his backpack, John scooped up another spot of light, which turned out to be a pair of leather pants.

Hey, at least you don't have to run around wearing a fig leaf like that. John was a little happy in his heart, after all, he was still hoping to find a good pair of pants just now, and now he has a piece of equipment leather pants "Leather pants: leather pants made of animal skin, which are generally used as equipment for elite soldiers due to their good toughness and do not affect the wearer's activities. Leg Armor (Ordinary)"

But that's not right, I've been looking for a long time before, and I haven't even seen a larger piece of iron, so it's impossible to be indifferent with such a big pair of leather pants. John picked up the leather pants and looked back and forth, and found that the leather pants were not even scratched, and there was no blood at all. This is even more wrong, this is a battlefield, how can it be so clean? I used to hold the armor, there would be blood stains on it, if I was not in a hurry to wear it, I would have to find a clean water source to wash off the blood stains.

Unable to figure it out, John decided not to think about such a clueless thing. But John felt that the matter had nothing to do with the two siblings. Thinking of this, John suddenly remembered what the elder brother of the two siblings had said before he woke up again: "When you wake up, find a lost temple in the mountains to your north." Don't worry about the shape of the temple, when you see it, you'll know it. ”

John looked up at the sky, estimating that it was not too early, and the sun had begun to tilt to the west. Deducing the direction of the north according to the position of the sun, John put on leather trousers and held a noble rappier, and walked cautiously forward.

As the sun was about to set, John finally saw a mountain range, which seemed to be at least correct in the direction. But it's not too early now, John is not in a hurry, John still knows the truth of running a dead horse in Wangshan, and usually in the wild, the danger at night will be much higher than during the day, in this world without campfires, John does not dare to bet that he can be reborn as before.

Finding a low-lying location slightly sheltered from the wind, John held his sword and half-closed his eyes to recuperate. This is a habit that John has developed before, so that John can relax himself while maintaining a certain alertness, and can react in time if there is a situation.

By night, a pack of wolves had indeed been around. But on the one hand, there is a risk of injury or even death, attacking this human who exudes a dangerous aura to obtain only enough meat for each wolf to chew two bites, but there is a large pile in front of it without danger, which one can eat for a long time which is more cost-effective, even a wolf can calculate.

At dawn the next day, John stood up, moved his somewhat stiff body, and set off towards the mountains. When I walked to almost noon, I saw a small stream, and I followed the stream upward, and there was a forest in sight, which spread all the way to the mountains, and I couldn't see the end. In the woods, because the environment is relatively similar, and it is not easy to observe the sky, it is easy to get lost by using the sun and stars for positioning, but at the same time, it is more likely to meet people along the stream, and now John can be said to know nothing about the world, and if he communicates, he is likely to be suspected of saying the wrong thing, and will monitor his activities more. And that's not the worst thing, the worst possibility is to attack yourself directly. It's not far from the battlefield, and if you meet an army and it's solved as a spy on the military, it's called wrong. Thinking of this, John decided to move further away from the creek.

Once in the woods, John tightened his nerves to the fullest, carefully observing his surroundings. Since this forest is not located in a hot and humid environment, the ground is more of a variety of herbaceous plants, and sparsely grown with low bushes. Therefore, apart from the trunk, there are not many obstacles that obscure the view.

It was about noon when John faintly heard the sound of people talking. As previously suspected, John could not understand their language, and could only infer from the tone of their voices that they were not in high spirits of conversation, and that there were occasional quarrels. John stopped, hid himself behind a bush, and cautiously looked in the direction of the sound.

Although there were trees in the shade, John could not see their situation at once, but after observing them for a while, John still had a little understanding of the basic situation of these people. It was a squad of 3 people, one wearing leather armor and holding a short sword, and the other two wearing cloth clothes with barrels in their hands. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were heading towards the creek, about to fetch water. And along the way, the person dressed in leather armor and short sword scolded the two cloth clothes from time to time.

That's kind of interesting, John thought.

The leather armor dagger outfit is exactly the same as the mercenary I saw yesterday except for the weapon, it seems that I have made a mistake in judgment, those are not mercenaries, and those who have the ability to unify the armament system equipment on a large scale can only be the army. If it is an army, such a big and unsuspecting advance in the jungle proves that he knows that the surroundings are safe for him, then the camp is very likely to be around, it should also have a sufficient number of soldiers and a certain amount of high-end combat power, and it can be reinforced in a short time, at least the alert type camp it sends out can be received.

Thinking about it, John waited for them to go far and then slowly climbed up the tree, ready to observe.
