243. Small Town
Zhou Chu landed lightly on the gray rock, moved his fist, and then watched the grass around him vigilantly, the night wind stopped blowing at this moment, so the rustling sound around also disappeared, and only the silence around was like death.
Sure enough, there was no fatal blow, Zhou Chu thought, this is also the reason why he chose to run towards the gray rock and jump on the boulder for what he wanted, even if he had night vision eyes and super vision, he couldn't see farther and clearer in these waist-deep or even chest-deep wild grass, in such a way that the vision was blocked, and the hearing was disturbed, and the initial form and perception battle had not been turned on, once he couldn't kill with one blow, then it would be him who was passive.
And after letting go of perception, although the human form could not specifically capture the other party, Zhou Chuzhi said that the number was not just one, but at least seven or eight.
Wolves never act alone, he knows that.
The night wind blew again, accompanied by the sound of rustling, and Zhou Chu was also gathering strength, waiting for the one to fight.
The wind was getting stronger and the rustle was getting faster and faster, but Zhou Chu's breathing and heartbeat became more and more slow, in stark contrast to the stronger and stronger night wind and faster rustling sound around him.
The fast is still fast, the slow is still slow, until the fast is to the extreme, and the slow is also to the extreme, the collision and explosion between the two begins.
With the roar of the beast that suddenly sounded, Zhou Chu's front and back bodies, from those barren grasses that were almost one person high, seven or eight giant wolves that were as huge as before, with their bloody mouths full of fangs. Lunged at him.
At the same time, Zhou Chu also jumped up, with a fist with explosive strength, slammed into the throat of a wolf, and then slammed towards its abdomen.
With the help of this kick, Zhou Chu also completed the process of turning in the air, and at the same time as he turned, he made a fist with explosive strength. He also greeted the giant wolves.
A total of seven giant wolves leaped up. And Zhou Chu's jump, when he fell back to the boulder, had already eliminated the three giant wolves, at least beating them back into the wild grass. And with the help of this counterattack. Dodged the attacks of the other four giant wolves. As he fell back onto the boulder, the other wolves fell back into the grass.
Only a giant brown wolf landed on the boulder with him, and one man and one wolf faced each other like this. There was only a short distance of less than five meters between them.
Zhou Chu did not attack at the first time, but listened attentively, except for the serious injury caused by the accurate hit on the throat of a giant wolf, it seems that the other two giant wolves who were also hit did not suffer much damage, and the strength of these giant wolves was somewhat unexpected.
Since the number of opponents is only one less, so Zhou Chu did not take the initiative to attack, but put on a defensive posture, if he takes the initiative to attack, then there is no doubt that his back and sides will be completely exposed to the remaining five giant wolves who don't know where to hide, he will never do such a stupid thing.
Moreover, these giant wolves seem to be more intelligent than ordinary beasts, and maybe they even have rudimentary intelligence.
Just as Zhou Chu expected, the brown giant wolf seemed to be listening to something like him in the process of confronting him, and those yellow and clear eyes kept looking at Zhou Chu, and Zhou Chu even felt that this was not this wolf, but a person.
His instincts turned out to be correct.
After a moment of stalemate between a man and a wolf, the brown giant wolf suddenly sniffed in the air, then pricked up his ears again, listened for a while, then roared lowly, shook his body, and Zhou Chu saw a brown giant wolf, in the process of changing from a wolf to a human, first the hair fell out and retracted, and then the bones and muscles also changed in the giant wolf's attempt to stand and struggle, and finally turned into a corn-curled girl with wheat-colored skin and light brown.
Werewolf.
This word popped up in Zhou Chu's mind, and Zhou Chu did not take it lightly for the other party to suddenly turn from a wolf to a human, no one said that after becoming a human, the attack power would decrease, at least in his opinion, after becoming a human, maybe the strength and speed would be worse, but it was more flexible and diversified.
It's just that the young girl did not intend to continue the attack, but sniffed in the air again before saying to him.
"You're not one of those vampires."
"It's not." Zhou Chu also replied.
"Then we attacked the wrong one." The wheat-skinned young girl said that Zhou Chu could hear a hint of apology in her voice, but she quickly put it away.
"In Travania, it's better not to travel alone at night, and even if you don't run into vampires, you'll be killed by those vampire hunters, who are not as good at talking as our wolves."
Man-wolf? This seemed to be a little different from the werewolf in understanding, but Zhou Chu only had time to ask how to get to the nearest town, and the other party had already jumped off the boulder, leaving only one sentence floating in the night sky.
"Keep heading east!"
Then he heard a man-like roar in the grass, and then there was a rustle in the grass in different directions, and he went away.
Those giant wolves, but they can turn into humans, the ones who call themselves human wolves are gone.
This sudden episode didn't disrupt Zhou Chu's anything, but just helped him further understand this world, the world of gods and demons, maybe all the previous fantasy novels described can be seen here, at least from the clever words, there is magic, vampires are also confirmed, there are knights, and vampire hunters, and he has just witnessed with his own eyes, people who can turn into wolves, or wolves that can turn into people.
Maybe his initial form will be considered a demon. Zhou Chu thought that there was no biology and too much understanding of cell mutation and evolution in this world.
That is to say, if they show their initial form, they may be regarded as enemies by the Holy Roman Empire and Roman Catholicism, for this possibility, Zhou Chu has a deep understanding, judging from the clever tone, they came to this world for a certain purpose or object, and in such a bright and dark tide everywhere, and still in the medieval civilization of the continent of Europa, it is necessary to rely on a certain force to be able to better activities and actions, If Gao Ming and the others chose the protection of the Holy Roman Empire, then they could only hide and adapt to the initial form as much as possible.
Hopefully, this isn't the worst-case scenario, and you won't be able to fight in your initial form. And subconsciously, Zhou Chu also seems to be a little resistant to the Holy Roman Empire, as if he has always been very resistant to all positive and authoritative. Something unquestionable.
Probably sorted out the confusion, for the cognition and context of this world, Zhou Chu continued to walk towards the east.
And this time, until they arrived in a small town, there were no more accidents along the way.
But the accident doesn't happen when you're ready to wait, and when you think it's gone, it comes quietly.
It's like Zhou Chu saw the shadowy house in the distance of the town, relaxed his guard a little, and recycled his perception a little, but in less than ten seconds after he relaxed his guard and retracted his perception, he heard a vigilant inquiry coming from somewhere.
"Who?"
Who? Stranger, Zhou Chu ignored him and continued to walk towards the town, but he only took three steps, and a crisp gunshot sounded in the distance, and then a bullet hit a position not far in front of him, and Zhou Chu could even clearly see the sparks that the bullet shot on the stone road.
At the same time, there was a warning sound.
"Stop!"
Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, but still stood in place, because the perception of letting go again at that moment made him know that on this stone road, there were at least five or six people in ambush. Until you don't know the intentions of the other party and how strong or weak they are, it is still a fool's decision to act rashly.
So there he stood.
After seeing him stop, a few men gathered in the darkness, dressed in the uniforms of the most ordinary soldiers of the Middle Ages, without epaulettes and hats, and with the most backward powder guns in their hands.
After making sure they had surrounded the strangers, one of them, who looked like a captain, turned around and yelled at the back.
"Father Aaron, you can come out."
Priest?
Zhou Chu followed the other party's line of sight, and saw that at this time, a middle-aged man wearing a black missionary robe and short hair came from a distance, his facial features looked very ordinary, and his temperament was between vicissitudes and youth, the only thing that made Zhou Chu have some impression was that this middle-aged man's eyes were very attentive, revealing a certain firmness.
A true believer, he thought to himself.
Father Aaron quickly came to a place five meters away in front of Zhou Chu, and then stood still, did not go any further, but bowed to Zhou Chu from a distance, and said in a calm and slightly apologetic voice.
"Stranger, my next actions may be a little offensive, but this is Travania, I hope you will forgive me."
This was more like a routine opening courtesy, because without waiting for Zhou Chu to react, Father Aaron took out a small bottle from his arms and threw it at Zhou Chu.
Subconsciously, Zhou Chu wanted to dodge, but his body only trembled, but he didn't move, because then the torch and the night light, he saw that what was spilled out of the bottle was some kind of liquid, and such a familiar and somewhat absurd scene made him immediately know what the other party was doing.
