Chapter 86
The Asian teenager skillfully handled the wolf corpse with a dagger and obtained 4 perfect wolf skins.
There are also about 200 pounds of wolf meat.
Mr. Thomasson brought a lot of miscellaneous items, including a plastic bag, in which the wolf meat was put in a plastic bag and put in the "Fire Thief's Backpack", which was said to be stored for a long time.
Even without bait, the wolves would attack the large groups of creatures that entered the territory, so no one pointed a finger at Louisen, especially after being educated by Thomasson's "political commissar" during the day, especially with the huge wolf corpses on the ground.
Jason and the others were still studying the wounds on the wolf corpses, and through their professional experience, they came to the reassuring conclusion that the M16 could take out these huge creatures, but they weren't so good in the dark, the terrain was complicated, and there were many obstacles.
"Its fur is very stiff and tough, and all of it effectively cancels out some of the bullet's penetrating power, but it is not very difficult to take out it if you shoot it intensively."
"This wolf is not only large, but also very strong, and has not lost its ability to move after being shot so much"
"Look here, if you don't hit it head-on, its fur can actually deflect the trajectory of the bullet."
"Oh, Man, the more you talk about it, the more I think Brother Louis is amazing, he killed 4 giant wolves with a dagger"
"We can't compare with him, he has received special training since he was a child, look here, kill with a knife, stab directly into the brain from the junction of bones"
……
Peter squatted beside Liu An and watched him disassemble the wolf corpse.
"Why are you trying to attract these things to attack, they're scary, aren't they?"
"If you don't attract them, they'll attack too, and besides, they've passed this pack. There will be other wolves in the back."
"We're going to have to deal with a lot of that stuff in the future...... Wait, you seem to mean that there is a way to avoid this? ”
Liu An has always behaved very kindly, and Peter seems to be very casual in his conversation, without using honorifics.
"Of course, this is also for the sake of attracting them, and we have to kill some. They'll know it."
"But I watched the show and said that the wolf's revenge psychology is very serious, won't we get into trouble because of this?"
Liu An was very patient with him, explaining:
"It depends on what kind of opponent it is, and what kind of means are used, almost all the males of the wolves just now are here, except for the one that was killed by Jason, I let the other female wolves go, this is the time for the wolves to nurse their offspring. They have learned how good we are, because of the instinct of raising offspring, and the wolves that run away will not retaliate against us."
"Are those beasts so smart?"
"You're saying they're vengeful and not smart enough?"
After disposing of the corpse, Liu An cut off the wolf's feet and the fur on the outside, and then found a chemical in the miscellaneous items that Mr. Thomas had exchanged, injected it into the wolf's feet with a syringe, and then threaded it with hemp rope. Make a necklace of four wolf feet.
"Ah-," Peter made a disgusted gesture, "who would wear such a thing?" ”
"Witch hunting. What's your first impression when you mention this word? ”
"Uh, the castle age, religion, knights, and the Middle Ages?"
"Pretty much, whether or not there are these elements in this world, we all need a camouflage in order to cover our identities and avoid conflicts with other local forces. I think witch hunters are good, but look at us, they are so clean, they don't look like medieval temperament and clothing at all, not to mention our equipment that far exceeds the technological level of this world."
"So ......?"
"We can disguise ourselves with concepts like 'Cultured Rogue' or 'Temperamental Hunter'. What's more, this thing is not a simple disguise, but also a kind of evidence of free passage in the jungle."
"I know the former one, you want to say that I can disguise myself as a very different witch hunter, but I don't really understand the latter."
"The wolf's feet carry the smell of the previous wolf pack, and the other wolves will not rashly attack, and when they notice that our ornaments are their own feet, they will know that we are not easy to mess with, and reduce the possibility of attack."
"Oh, I see......"
The other people who heard the conversation also showed the same expressions.

In any case, after the people who opened the road and the broken ones put on the necklaces of the wolf's feet, the team did not suffer any more attacks from wild beasts for the next two days.
The distance traveled has also increased from more than 10 kilometers to more than 20 kilometers, during which a small stream was discovered, and after boiling the stream water, fresh water was replenished, and the whole team finally had the opportunity to clean up personal hygiene and take a bath.
The voyeurism incident by the stream has relieved the oppressive atmosphere caused by fatigue and stress for several days, and Jessie and Lorell, who are the parties involved, pretend to hunt down the initiator Louis for a few hundred meters, and then disappear in the midst of gasps and laughter.
As a white-boned spirit in the workplace, Jessie knows that the affairs of men and women have always been an effective way to ease the atmosphere, and she doesn't care about being peeked at by others; As a genius girl, Lorrell was faintly aware of Liu An's intentions, so she only chased him alone.
Then on the third day, the second day of tidying up the team by the stream, they finally found the road located in the jungle.
In order to facilitate the collection of water along the way, the road should also be built near the water source.
After that, they walked along the road for a long time, and came across a caravan of groceries with only three caravans, a carport sewn with rags full of patches, and the white men who accompanied the car, pointed at them with hardwood crossbows, and could not tell whether they were men or guards, but who were sure that their clothes were 100% "medieval", and they completely understood that they had really come to a strange otherworld.
“¥%……&*#¥%……&*”
The other party said something he didn't understand at all.
"What to do, not medieval English, not Latin, it looks like asking for our identity"
Thomason, who is full of scholars and does know a lot of languages, whispered.
“#¥%……&*(#¥%……&”
At this time, Jessie, who had been acting as a vase and mascot in the team, suddenly said something loudly in the same language.
"How do you speak their language?"
Lorrell asked what was on everyone's minds.
"Thanks to our Louis Ann, who suggested that I redeem the language help with the newbie perk, I have to have my own existential value, don't I?"
Everyone looked at Liu An thoughtfully.
Could it be that he had anticipated this situation a long time ago?
“#¥%……&*()%……&*”
With Jessie's words. At the same time, she also asked her companion to lower his weapon, and the "medieval" man in the carriage gradually relaxed, and lowered his weapon.
At the cost of two wolf skins, the caravan accepted them, allowing them to anchor to the wagon and move faster towards their predetermined destination.

Peter? Parker's narration:
The Kingdom of Saasfoster shattered my illusion of the otherworldly realm. A castle built on top of a hill and surrounded by stone and timber buildings and a population of more than 20,000 can be called a kingdom.
But Lonrel and Mr. Thomason told me that in the Middle Ages, a castle and a few thousand people could be called a kingdom...... They also use Switzerland as an example, and modern Switzerland is also a very small place, but it has a much larger population.
It makes me feel like a kid at home.
The other thing that makes me feel broken is that there is no fairy tale beauty and goodness here.
You have to watch out for every kid who comes out of the alley, they're 100% thieves, pickpockets, and what Master.shifu calls "bumper", meaning deliberately causing trouble. Get reimbursed. I thought that this kind of profession only existed in modern times, but in Maine there was such a fat man who specialized in going to various supermarkets to taste food, and then causing legal accidents to get compensation from merchants or manufacturers, and he was said to have become a millionaire because of it.
Because of the simple social structure, there is no professional "Hey Society" here, but there are similar pickpocketing and theft groups.
Landless idlers generally hunt for a living, and are rather brutal. In times of war, they were the king's mercenaries. In addition to receiving the king's bounty, they used their blood to obtain the spoils of war on the battlefield and on the lands of the enemy country, which was the barbarian tribe of the western highlands, which in fact seemed to us to be barbaric enough...... It is really impossible to imagine the barbarians who they also recognize as savage, what kind of barbarism they really are.
In the "Boots & Table" tavern where we were staying, a large man in animal skins said to Inspector Jason, who looked the strongest among us, as we ate:
"You look so incompetent and ineffective. I don't deserve your delicate clothes, take them off quickly, or I'll have to fight you in a duel, and your corpse will become food for wild dogs in the woods outside the city."
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't matter where you are on the planet. This is a naked robbery, right?
But here it is reasonable and legal...... Master.shifu told me in a mocking tone that this kind of practice was actually very common in Europe in the Middle Ages and even in the Age of Discovery, and if you are cowardly, you deserve to be bullied, stripped of your bright clothes, robbed of beautiful ornaments, and no one will sympathize with you.
He was right, Mr. Thomason was very erudite, Lorrell had a high IQ, and she had a very senior governess, which they all told me was very common at the time......
Inspector Jason was beaten badly by that big man, and if it weren't for Master.shifu's action, he might have been killed, and his body was dragged to the woods outside the city to become the feces of wild dogs.
The Otherworldly Realm and the Ancient Realm are really dangerous, I don't understand how those Celestial Empire Travelers in Master.shifu's mouth survived...... And it is said that they are all surviving very well, are they all the kind of "Rambo" played by Schwarsinger?
However, later experience made me know what the Celestial Empire is called a state of etiquette, and it is not without reason that those travelers can survive in the ancient Celestial Empire.

Intelligence is easy to gather, and there are legends about "witches" everywhere.
Jessie didn't even leave the tavern before she asked the drinker for all the information about the mission's target, the Wild Thorn Witch.
Because the witch often rode a twig to the kingdom of Saasfoster to kidnap children, she turned the kingdom's valiant silver knights into frogs and sheep, and used a magic wand like a baton in "Harry Potter" to shoot poisonous clouds, in addition to resisting lead bullets and bows. It can also spread diseases and plagues.
Even her place of residence, the Silent Glades, is well mapped, and the kingdom has sent several campaigns against the evil witch over the past hundred years, but she has defeated her.
Gradually, the Kingdom of Saasfoster seems to have acquiesced to the existence of this witch, but from the folk to the official list of her place of residence as a forbidden place. At the same time, a curfew was imposed during her outings, passively resisting her rage.
……
"That's pretty much it"
On a not-so-flat table made of logs, a map of animal skins sits on a table top, and Jessie speaks to the others, including Ann Liu, Lorel, Mr. Thomasson, Inspector Jason, and the leader of Roroll.
The wooden glass was filled with ale, and everyone had a glass in front of them, which was more of a fermented drink than a wine, and the low degree was outrageous, even if it was Lorrell from modern times. When you drink your stomach, you will get slightly drunk.
Mr. Thomasson pushed his glasses, touched his chin and thought for a moment, and said:
"Judging from the information Jessie has gathered, there don't seem to be many beasts in this silent woodland, and the most important thing is this thorny witch, Carter, please bring my backpack"
Brother Gongzi, who is sitting at the next table, has played the role of his deputy these days. Wen Yan didn't have any unpleasant expressions, and obediently found the backpack that belonged to Thomas from a pile of backpacks. Sent over.
Mr. Thomasson found a lot of things from his backpack, cameras, video cameras, pens, paper, and a graduated military telescope.
"First of all, we don't know anything about this witchcraft, and we don't know if the witch has any other means of detection besides visual inspection, so we have to take our time and ......."
He dotted the skin map with his pen.
"Start here. Our goal seems to have a regular time to act, or to follow our formation in the jungle, in pairs, with tools, and disguise. Starting from the periphery, slowly approaching the witch's dwellings, recording everything valuable on film and tape, the terrain, the distribution of plants, her schedule, she seems to be able to fly on a tree branch? Keeping a record of her flight paths, what rocks she by, what trees she passed, and based on these, I could make a plan of action that would kill her."
"Here you are the expert, you have the final say"
Rollol and Jason nodded.
"Our suits themselves are camouflage, very hidden in the jungle, in the list of items, I also see that there is a special oil paint applied to the skin, it seems to have been redeemed by Louisian, what you have to do is to do a good camouflage, oh yes, remember which wolf foot necklaces to bring, they also have the effect of masking the smell"

To survive in an unforgivable world, for ordinary people, there are many things that need to be lost, such as discipline, principles, morality, and bottom line...... Chastity or something.
But the only benefit of being powerful is that you can rewrite the rules without having to change them yourself.
Liu An took Jessie and Lorel and spent a few days walking around the countryside...... I mean, in the taverns of the Kingdom of Saasfoster, the beauties from the materially rich modern earth are the best bait, and all kinds of reckless men, hooligans, and second-generation people come up to beg for a slap in the face, in addition to swearing a power that cannot be matched by conventional force, it also plays a propaganda role.
Basically, a week later, even the village chief of the country kingdom knew that a group of witch hunters had come to his territory to crusade against the wild thorn witches in the silent woodland.
Every year, such witch hunters come to Saasfoster, and they all disappear into the depths of the silent woodland, so Liu An and his gang did not attract special official attention.
However, Liu An's goal has been achieved, and basically all the idle people who are begging for a living in the local area know that this group of people in colorful clothes is not easy to mess with, and there are many fewer people who beat their ideas.
……
While Liu An was busy building influence, others were also methodically carrying out the tasks assigned by Mr. Thomason.
For adults like Jason and Thomason, it's like seeing an old woman with a face full of mosquito wrinkles, madly riding a twisted branch in the sky...... It's quite ruined by the three views, oh, the great American people don't call it the three views, it's called "my whole person is fucking broken".
Young people are much more receptive than they are.
At the beginning of the reconnaissance activities, they were very careful, using the elimination method little by little, to eliminate the detection ability of the wild thorn witch.
Smell, smell, vision, infrared vision, etc., thinking of the kind of thing that can be seen in the crystal ball with a spell and wanting to know the way, they also deliberately chose the reconnaissance method of traveling at night and squatting during the day to observe.
For now, the progress of intelligence collection is still within the plan, and the witch's place of residence has been locked in several locations, but for the sake of safety, it still chooses to investigate in a very conservative way, after all, there are still more than two months to go, and it is not urgent.
After finding out the correct place of residence of the Wild Thorn Witch and observing her habits, Mr. Thomas Killer of the 147th Company has at least 147 ways to kill her reused, and he is also full of interest in killing a witch and is preparing to actively meet this challenge in life.
……
(PS: The following is a complaint)
(Two days ago, the report on the incident of Northeast Aunt falsely accusing foreign guys was dark, and even Sogou input method was fucking pop-up window for "exposure", but the fact is that from the surveillance video given by the Beijing police, it was indeed the foreign guy who hit the Northeast Aunt, and this "foreign friend" did not even have a driver's license, and there were witnesses at the scene who took videos with mobile phones, and the so-called innocent foreign guys wantonly insulted the Northeast Aunt in Chinese and English, which is the so-called "good quality of foreigners"; If it weren't for the Northeast aunt who threw herself on his motorcycle and dragged him deadly, it is estimated that Ya Ting would have gotten in the car and ran away)
(Those media blacks are dark when they are dark, all of them are taken for granted "the low quality of the countrymen", and after the facts are clarified, there is not even a word of apology, and the black Northeast aunt is white and black, and people should be scolded by those brainless parties who sit in front of the screen and spray nonsense without going to the scene to collect evidence)
(What about the conscience, attitude, and quality of what you say about the self-specimen of the media and websites?) In this case, what qualifications do you have to talk about the "quality of the Chinese people"? )
(Huh)
(I really bought a watch last year, a mountaineering bag) (to be continued......)
