Chapter 8: Knights
Under the corpse of the wolf, Zhao Futu found a fallen wolf tooth, the wolf tooth emitted a faint blue light, like a crescent moon with a barb, extremely sharp, when he touched the wolf tooth with his fingers, a row of information appeared in his mind:
"The fangs of the head wolf." (Condition: Normal)
"Origin: Tales of the Night."
"Equipment Rarity: Light Blue."
"Material: Calcium carbonate."
"Weight: 5 grams. (The weight of the item affects the requirements for wearing.) )”
"Equipment Part: Accessories."
"Equipment Effect: +1 Strength, +1 Agility."
"Equipment Requirements: None."
"Comments: It's the tusks of a wolf, and it smells fishy."
………………
For some reason, the others didn't see the blue light on this wolf tooth at all, and it wasn't until Zhao Futu picked it up that the others realized that he seemed to have obtained something. However, they also wisely didn't ask much, after all, this wolf was killed by him, and Zhao Futu was now holding the high school student's desert eagle in his hand.
When Zhao Futu got up and walked over, the man with glasses asked, "What should we do now?" ”
Zhao Futu has reconnaissance skills, and at the same time, he has a strong combat power when he gets the Desert Eagle, and now there are only five people left in the team, and the man with glasses began to discuss it with the others, but he still decided to ask Zhao Futu's opinion. Because Zhao Futu rescued him once just now, the glasses man's attitude towards him has also improved a lot, and he obviously has the intention of wooing him.
Walking to the two dead people, Zhao Futu didn't speak, just slowly squatted down and closed their open eyes with his hands.
The two people who were alive just now have become two corpses. Zhao Futu felt a sadness in his heart, although he was not a person with overflowing sympathy, but life was always a little sad when he witnessed his passing. Maybe one day he will become gradually apathetic, already able to ignore death, ignore life, but not now.
Now he is just an ordinary person, a person who lives in a peaceful era.
This space was far more dangerous than he imagined, and Zhao Futu looked at the two corpses, and the emotions in his heart fluctuated a little.
"We're going to bury them, aren't we?" Zhao Futu raised his head and faced a few people.
"What?"
The others raised their heads in surprise when they heard this.
"I said we're going to dig a pit and bury them, right? After all, they all came here together, and they can't be allowed to be in the corpse wilderness like this, right? Zhao Futu looked at the other people, seeing that their faces seemed to be a little reluctant, and said slowly.
His mother taught him since he was a child that 'the dead are the greatest', and he felt that these two people should be buried, although the two are not related to each other, but this is at least a respect for the deceased, and it is a heart.
Middle-earth is a country that pays attention to 'peace in the earth', and few people want to be in the wilderness of corpses.
"Let's go first, shall we? The smell of blood here is likely to attract other beasts! It was the man with glasses who spoke, and he said with some embarrassment: "If we continue to stay here, we will also be in danger!" ”
"It's the wilderness, and you're going to bury them. It won't be long before they'll be dragged out and eaten by other beasts! The MLM man also took over, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and said in a weird voice: "Is it for the sake of two dead people, and put everyone in danger?" ”
The other two didn't speak, but they clearly agreed.
Zhao Futu frowned, and didn't say anything, just put the Desert Eagle in his pocket, picked up the short sword on the ground, and dragged the two corpses together. He pointed to the corpses of several giant wolves over there, and said to the others, "Then you guys should go first." It is estimated that you don't have any money from this world on you, there are a few wolf corpses there, and you can take them to nearby towns for money. ”
"But keep the wolf's carcass for me." Zhao Futu said at this time, and his tone became unquestionable.
The man with glasses looked quite hesitant, as if he wanted to stay and help Zhao Futu bury the dead, but he felt that it was really pointless to do so. Besides, the people didn't have any tools in their hands, and it was not known how long it would take to dig a pit large enough to bury the two of them. If you stay here for one more minute, there will be one more danger, although Zhao Futu is very important, but the combat effectiveness of that MLM man is also good, he seems to know a little kung fu, and the long sword in his hand is extraordinary.
Several people discussed it, and finally left with a few wolf corpses, but they left the corpse of the head wolf to Zhao Futu.
………………
Morning.
The sky was completely bright, and it took nearly an hour for Zhao Futu to barely dig the pit where the two people were buried. He didn't have the right tools in his hands, and digging a pit with that short sword alone was laborious and ineffective. By the time he was halfway done, he was already tired and sweating profusely. However, after his body was digitized in space, his physical fitness has also improved a lot, although he is tired and sweaty, but his physical strength still has a lot.
Because of his reconnaissance skills, he had been carefully observing his surroundings, which was an open meadow with traces of roads in between, and it was obvious that people were often coming and going. In such a place, there are not many beasts under normal circumstances, let alone other beasts that appear in broad daylight. As for why they met those giant wolves before, I'm afraid it's still the ghost of that mysterious space, and it seems that they want to get used to the battle.
The hint of the quest is that it will be attacked by werewolves after nightfall, and it is now daytime, so Zhao Futu's inference is that there should be no danger. That's why he decided to stay and bury the two.
In fact, in Zhao Futu's view, there should be no casualties in the previous battle.
If that high school student hadn't recklessly fired to provoke the wolves, according to the habits of those wolves, I am afraid that they might not have attacked directly. In nature, it is normal for a stalemate to occur when a creature hunts for food with a similar strength. This can be seen from the fact that the wolves did not attack directly after being surrounded, and many beasts chose to abandon their prey if they felt that they would be seriously injured in the process of killing their prey.
This is one of the laws of nature, and it is not that the world of beasts is immortal!
The wolves that attacked everyone were not really hungry wolves, the hungry wolves were the most dangerous, and this group of giant wolves was physically strong, and it was obvious that they were not short of food. As long as you seize the opportunity of the initial stalemate and teach this group of giant wolves a hard lesson, then these giant wolves are likely to retreat! After all, the Desert Eagle's close-range shots and the glasses man's fireball spell have a high chance of killing them in seconds.
If it is determined that the prey is not easy to deal with, these giant wolves will probably retreat, even if they do not retreat, and the advantage of those who occupy the initiative is obvious.
But because of the reckless actions of the high school students, he directly angered those giant wolves, and in the face of the giant wolf attack, he panicked and retreated, so that he was bitten off his cervical vertebrae and killed on the spot!
This stimulates the ferocity of the giant wolf in disguise, telling them that the prey is actually very easy to deal with. Wild beasts in nature have the habit of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and the weaker the prey, the easier it is to become the target of their attacks. If it weren't for Zhao Futu who happened to kill the first wolf at that moment, it would be really difficult to say the next result.
Although the high school student did something wrong, he also paid the price with his life.
That's it.
Zhao Futu felt that there was nothing to say.
………………
Stomp, stomp!
Zhao Futu, who was resting on the grass, stood up suddenly, he looked in the direction of the south, and suddenly saw several fast horses galloping towards him.
Someone!
The fast horses approached quickly, and when they approached Zhao Futu's position, the knight on horseback pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse that sat down neighed and stopped. The knight on horseback turned over and dismounted to look at Zhao Futu and the bloodstained battlefield, his eyes were full of surprise, and he said, "You did this?" ”
"Tsk! Seven people, against at least twelve giant wolves, can actually kill the head wolf! ”
"Amazing!" It was another knight who spoke, dressed in silver-white chain mail and armed with a weapon somewhat similar to a cross sword, which was very expensive and incredibly valuable in the context of the Middle Ages!
"What about your companions? Left? The knight on horseback looked at the footprints on the ground, frowned slightly, and said with a displeased expression: "There are four people, leaving in the direction of the town." ”
"They just left you in the wilderness?"
Zhao Futu was also looking at these people, there were five people in total, all of them were riding horses, except for the person who spoke who was wearing silver-white chain mail and had an extraordinary identity, the others were wearing leather armor, wearing long swords around their waists, and two of them were carrying hunting bows behind them. These people are all over twenty-five years old, with standard western faces, full of vicissitudes of life, but they have an unusual momentum.
The man at the head was about thirty years old, handsome, mighty, and convincing at first glance.
"They went first. I wanted to bury them, so I stayed. Zhao Futu didn't say much, just pointed to the corpse on the ground and said calmly. After the mission opened, the space slightly modified his face and clothing, so it also looked like a Eurasian face, not obtrusive.
Several knights glanced at each other and exchanged glances for a moment.
The knight at the head smiled, looking at Zhao Futu with a hint of appreciation, he looked at the two corpses on the ground, and said, "We can help you bury them, but you must pay a certain amount!" ”
"What's the pay?" Zhao Futu asked rhetorically.
A big man with a full beard looked around and said, "The corpse of that wolf is good." ”
Zhao Futu frowned slightly, glanced at a few people, and said slowly: "Yes!" But at most half of it can be given, and I don't have money to eat. ”
He spoke with a very honest expression.
When several knights heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and the man at the head took out a money bag from his waist, shook it in his hand, making a jingling sound, and then threw it to Zhao Futu, laughing and said, "Next!" Now it's mine. ”
"Come, work."
"Bury these two."
Zhao Futu caught the money bag, looked inside, and suddenly saw a piece of silver light, and a line of information also appeared on it:
"Silver Coins (Precious Metal): One of the world's most valuable currencies, used to buy supplies and befriend characters. You can sell the space for 10 survival points for one silver coin. ”
There were about twenty silver coins in the bag, and if converted into survival points, it was actually more than Zhao Futu's income from killing the wolves.
With helpers, Zhao Futu quickly dug a pit and buried the two, because his destination was also the town of Locke in front, so he set off with this group of knights. The mission required to survive for 48 hours and kill at least one low-level werewolf, and his intuition told Zhao Futu that following these people was the best way. Looking at their fully armed appearance, it is obvious that they are inseparable from those werewolves!
On the way to the town, Zhao Futu also gradually inquired about their purpose.
Really!
Their target is the werewolves!
