Chapter Forty-Eight: The Giant Rhino
Kane's knowledge of swordsmen was very limited in the past, but recently, as he has been in contact with the outside world, he has gained some insight into the profession that is almost the most populous on the mainland.
Swordsmen can be divided into three categories according to different attributes, the first category is the regular swordsman, this kind of swordsman often has both offense and defense, can fight tigers in the mountains and catch fish in the sea, their attributes may be the most balanced among all professions, but this is the thing, every aspect is powerful, in other words, it is not powerful in every aspect, there are no outstanding attributes that make the originally good swordsman look like there is no shining point, this kind of person belongs to the most orthodox and the most mediocre category among the swordsmen.
The second type is defensive swordsmen, this kind of swordsmen know that they focus on defensive attributes when they hear the name, they tend to be sturdy, and they generally have heavy armor wrapped tightly on their bodies with ultra-high defensive power, and there are almost no weaknesses on their bodies, but this kind of swordsmen are usually cultivated by a certain organization since childhood, and there are relatively few scattered outside, the main reason is that although they are powerful, they cost a lot to cultivate, in addition to using various medicinal materials to assist, a single body of heavy armor is not something that ordinary people can afford.
The third type is attack swordsmen, also known as berserkers, their cultivation is always committed to improving their attack power, and their bodies are generally much taller than ordinary swordsmen, in order to be able to exert all their strength in battle, they generally do not wear armor, which can reduce the consumption of physical energy to a certain extent, and ordinary long swords can no longer meet their requirements, so the giant sword is their obvious mark, Kane belonged to this category when he saw Mark before, and now this woman is too.
The swordsman behind him heard the woman's answer, his face was a little bitter, he had indeed been thrown out before, and the most frustrating thing for him was that there were still many people on the street when he was thrown out, and he felt that this was extremely damaging to his reputation, although he could not remember when he had been completely disconnected with such a thing as reputation.
"I asked for a reformulation of the distribution system, why I always get the least paid every time. The swordsman said with a look of frustration.
"When you stop complaining so much, I might think about it. The female swordsman in front replied with an expressionless face.
The swordsman was a little helpless, "Let's just talk about last time, if I hadn't used lime powder to charm the eyes of that horned tiger, how could you have killed him so easily, and in the end, I still only got the least amount of gold coins." ”
The female swordsman stopped when she heard this, turned around and glared at him, "Don't mention that to me again, Darren's eyes are still red, if we hadn't flashed fast, I'm afraid we would all be blind now, and you still have the face to mention it to me! Use lime powder to deal with the horned tiger? This matter almost made me lose face, our group almost became a joke in the mercenary world, by the way, Darren, are your eyes better?"
The swordsman behind him could only hang his head when he heard this, and a defensive swordsman in shabby armor behind the female swordsman replied: "It's okay, Captain, it will be a little itchy during the day when the light is strong, and it will be much better at night." ”
The female swordsman nodded, glared at the swordsman behind her again before turning around and moving on.
The name of this team is the Haw Par Mercenary Group, and the leader of the group is named Sarah, that is, this female berserker, because of the name of the team, she has a loud nickname: tigress, Sarah can be said to be a very high-status woman in this area, at least many men can't treat her like other women, not because of her identity, but because I don't know how many men have been cut in two by her giant sword.
Although Sarah is very tall, she is actually only eighteen years old this year, of course, this is also an older youth in the Wind Continent, the Haw Par Mercenary Regiment is the legacy left to him by his father, and the experience of following his father around since he was a child has made Sarah one of the few leaders here who really has leadership skills.
There are currently a total of six people in the team, although this number is a pitiful type among the mercenary groups in this area, but their strength is not to be underestimated, and there are no more than five mercenary groups that can independently kill second-level demonic beasts like Horned Tiger, and reasonable career configuration is their biggest advantage.
A berserker, a defensive swordsman, an assassin, a veteran ranger, a junior magician, a light apothecary and a crappy swordsman, of course, the crappy swordsman's responsibilities are actually team logistics personnel, which is equivalent to long-range melee combat, both attack and defense, and medical logistics are guaranteed.
In addition to Sarah, there is also a woman in the team, the pharmacist Daisy, Daisy is a girl with a stable personality, and the perennial treatment and saving people has made her accustomed to seeing the pain and becoming silent, Daisy is Sarah's best friend, and in the entire Yongge Forest, I am afraid that only Daisy treats Sarah as a woman.
The group walked for a while, and the magician Abel gradually lost his patience, "Is the news accurate?
Sarah was still walking, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the news, we..."
Sarah stopped halfway through her speech, because she saw the Ranger Hott in front of her stop, and made a gesture with her right hand to stop advancing, Sarah immediately stopped, but Darren behind him obviously had not recovered from his eyes, and continued to walk forward until the hilt of the sword was against Sarah's ass.
"Uh, I'm sorry Captain. Darren hurriedly apologized, and all the people behind him stopped, and Sarah didn't have time to accept his apology at this time, just a hundred meters in front of the team, a huge white shadow appeared and disappeared in the moonlight.
Sarah looked at the dazzling white shadow reflected in the moonlight in front of her, and she immediately recognized that it was the hard, smooth back shell in the shape of a turtle shell of the second-level demonic beast Mochizuki Giant Rhinoceros.
The Moon Gazing Giant Rhinoceros is a second-level magical beast, the appearance is a bit like a huge rhinoceros, but they are covered with a hard white giant shell, and there are few opponents in the same rank, but the habits of this magical beast are very special, they hide in the dark nest during the day, and only come out to forage at night, especially the moonlight at night is the period when they are active, so it is called the Moon Gazing Giant Rhinoceros.
Sarah learned about this place from a bounty hunter, who had come in to look for a missing companion, but he encountered a giant moon rhino here, which cost him a leg, and if Daisy hadn't been treated in time, he would have lost his life.
Several people saw the prey in front of them, but no one acted rashly, although they were barely able to deal with the second-level demonic beasts, but they also had to be careful and careful like the Moon Giant Rhinoceros.
"What is it doing?" asked Harry, the crappy swordsman, with a curious look on his face.
Not only him, but several other people were also a little curious, this giant moon rhinoceros was just circling around a huge tree, as if looking for something.
Ranger Hult's eyes were sharp, "There's a man in the tree!"
"Huh?" Several people were stunned, and hurriedly looked up at the tree, and sure enough, they saw a humanoid thing lying on the largest branch, but it was far away, and the light on the tree was blocked by leaves, so it looked blurry.
"Did any of the other teams get here first?" said Sarah, who always had the team's interests at heart.
Hult shook his head, "He didn't move, he looked like a dead man. ”
Harry looked skeptical, "Maybe he's just asleep." ”
Several people gave him a white look when they heard this, which idiot would come here to sleep!
"Could it be an elf? Or I'll go over and see." Assassin Joey couldn't help but guess.
In addition to being mysterious and noble, elves belong to a group of people who cannot be inferred by common sense in the eyes of most people.
Sarah shook her head, although she was confident in her partner, the situation was a bit complicated right now, and it wouldn't be a problem if it was just a giant rhino who looked at the moon, but if the one in the tree wasn't a dead man, it would be troublesome.
"And what now?" asked the magician Abel.
"Let's see. Sarah was tempted to take action right away, but her instincts made her give up.
Kane opened his eyes in a daze, and he felt the earth shaking, "Earthquake?" Kane was stunned, if he remembered correctly, he should be in the Eternal Song Forest, and he had never heard of an earthquake in this area.
Naturally, he was the idiot who came here to sleep, but there was no way around it, and he couldn't find a cave or anything like that after walking around the forest for a long time, he could only climb to a tree that seemed relatively safe to sleep.
Kane sat up with the shaking trunk of the tree, and looked around habitually, and was stunned, as if the trees around him were not shaking?
Kane was startled for a moment and settled down, the tree was big enough for four people to hug, and it was clear that the monster couldn't knock it down in the current situation.
Kane didn't hesitate anymore, and hurriedly opened the eye of the night to investigate carefully, and immediately saw the shape of the monster clearly, "What kind of monster is this!" Kane was stunned, he had never seen anything like this before.
After watching it for a while, he simply sat down again, anyway, there should be no danger now, just let it toss, and after a while, he saw the monster go to the side, Kane smiled, and before he could say a few words of sarcasm, he saw it stop a few meters away, and slowly turned his body around.
"What is it trying to do?" Kane looked at its massive head, a little confused.
"Ziz!" a burst of electricity rang out, and Kane jumped down as soon as he turned around, and a ball of lightning spat out of the giant rhino's mouth and slammed straight into his place.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the frightened Kane saw that the branch he was on before had directly turned into charcoal, but fortunately he flashed fast!
Kane didn't care so much, he pulled his legs and ran forward, judging from the size of the monster, he and the monster are not at the same level at all, although he is now about to reach the intermediate magician, and the force is gradually entering the second-level element, but Kane is still weak for a while, judging from the spell cast by the monster just now, it is at least a second-level demonic beast.
"Second-level Demonic Beast?" Kane suddenly thought of something, and quickly stopped, isn't he looking for a second-level Demonic Beast now? Seeing that there is prey sent to the door, what are you still running!
The stunned kung fu giant had already caught up, and from his sharp teeth, Kane could clearly know that this guy was definitely not a vegetarian.
