Chapter 63: Strength

The chief pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "I'll do my best!"

Faust asks the old chief to provide him with a living sample of the fire cockroach so that he can find a way to pass the fire cockroach level. This request seemed normal to Faust, but it made it difficult for the old chieftain.

First of all, the person who was selected for this task, due to the large number of fire cockroaches and their social habits, even if all the wilderness hunters and elite samurai under his command went out together, it would be difficult to make a positive difference.

This quest is only suitable for a small number of strong people. The old chieftain was familiar with the habits and appearance of the fire cockroach, and he was the strongest wilderness hunter, so he was definitely one of the candidates for the mission, but if he was allowed to catch the fire cockroach alone, it would definitely not work.

It's not that the chieftain can't fight well, in fact, Reinhardt may not be able to defeat the old chief. If nothing else, he wouldn't have much of a problem if he caught just one fire cockroach and left quickly.

But it is impossible for a person to never encounter accidents in his life. To be on the safe side, he complained to Faust with a sad face, apparently intending to let Faust go with him.

In addition, he also has a little bit of his own caution - in his opinion, he is on an equal footing with Faust, and if he wants to work, then Faust cannot be idle.

If it had been at any other time, Faust would have been empathetic enough to go with him, and by the way find out how strong the old chief had been.

But now, Faust didn't intend to spend his energy on such trivial matters - the old chieftain's strength didn't matter, according to him, it was obvious that the fire cockroach could inflict fatal wounds on him, and Faust would easily kill the old chief as long as he made a fuss about it.

Now he had to keep his spirits up, lest something happen in the magic city - if his plan went well, it would be more of an "accident" than a "just in case".

Since Faust said that he was physically exhausted, only Reinhardt was left to partner with the old chieftain.

The old chief and Reinhardt walked side by side, looking at Reinhardt with their peripheral vision. Reinhardt was most striking for his blond hair, but now he had the same golden beard.

Reinhardt is not very old, but the rough golden stubble and the vicissitudes of life and melancholy eyes make him look quite mature, if he is placed in a big city like Red Rock City, he will definitely be able to become the so-called "young woman killer".

But the old chief's focus was not on that. He noticed that Reinhardt's steps and movements were all simple and powerful, with an undisguised sense of stability and power – a warrior with a steady style and a balanced quality.

But that's not all, Faust was strong, but the old chief still had the confidence to suppress him - provided that he didn't have any equipment.

At level 5, the Revenant gains the ability to "Arcane Vision", which allows the Revenant to see a halo unique to supernatural powers, allowing the Revenant to find targets with supernatural powers more quickly to save their lives – or lock onto enemies.

The old chief put a lot of effort into this ability, and he was even able to judge the effect of the corresponding ability by the color and shape of the halo.

Reinhardt's body was wrapped in a fivefold halo. He didn't have some kind of transcendent power, so the brilliance of this fivefold secret method naturally came from the equipment on his body.

The largest halo was a deep purple, thick and cloudy, and the chief could even pinpoint the source of this heavy halo, which was the huge axe that Reinhardt had been carrying.

This was followed by a round of brown glow that shrouded Reinhardt's wrist. This kind of radiant old chief has seen many times, it is a simple increase in strength, and it is clear that Reinhardt has a piece of equipment that increases strength. However, the light color is so pure and bright, this piece of equipment must be of exceptional quality.

In addition, there is a cyan halo around his waist, which is only a simple improvement in agility, and there is no superfluous effect, in addition, a necklace hanging around his neck also flashes with pure white light, and the aura is very complex, which seems to comprehensively enhance his resistance, and also has some kind of active stimulation effect.

Under the cover of this fourfold bright halo, there was also an inconspicuous gray color, and if it weren't for the old chief's experience, he would even think that he had seen it wrong.

The old chief summed up in his heart, although the brown, cyan and white equipment was of good quality, he had not seen the same level of equipment, and the two that were really noteworthy were purple and gray.

The two powers have different styles, but the old chief is keenly aware of what they have in common—they are similar in strength, complex in composition, and both have a strong connection to Reinhardt himself.

This is obviously some kind of special equipment, is it that Reinhardt has taken up some kind of advanced class related to weapons? The old chieftain's own strength comes mainly from advanced classes, so it is inevitable that he likes to think in this direction.

After comparing for a while, the old chief still felt that he was superior, so he balanced his heart a little - if Faust's thugs were all better than himself, then the so-called "equal status" was probably only his own wishful thinking.

Fortunately, I'm stronger. The old chief was a little happy when he thought of this, but he didn't know that this subconscious mentality of excluding Faust had put him in a certain unequal position.

"Mr. Reinhardt, I need to give you an introduction to the habits of fire cockroaches, and our next course of action. "Since the old chief has already concluded that he is stronger, the next step is naturally to seize the leadership.

After all, the old chief thought that he would soon have frequent contact with Faust, so it was necessary to make Reinhardt understand who was the one who spoke more weightily.

"Hmm. Reinhardt only faintly agreed, he was not very smart, and he did not see the chief's intentions at all. However, even if he saw it, he would not behave differently than he did now.

Reinhardt's full focus was on resurrecting his two teammates, and he didn't care so much about anything else. If it was Annabella, maybe it would have been able to catch his attention a little, but the old chief ...... This special treatment is clearly not enjoyed.

The old chief didn't seem to expect Reinhardt to agree so easily, and the words that had been prepared were suddenly useless, and he was stunned for a moment before he began to explain.

He explained the ecology of the fire cockroach in more detail than Faust, after all, his safety was at stake this time.

“...... That's probably it, you have to remember, you must not provoke a large group of fire cockroaches, you must not move their eggs, and you must not pick a large man who walks alone to hunt, remember?" the old chief told him again and again.

Fire cockroaches are not so large in groups when they do not fulfill their duties as guardians, and as long as they do not invade their eggs, they are usually not very dangerous.

And some fire cockroaches that grow exceptionally large will live in isolation, they are strong in combat, and they are not easier to deal with than large groups of fire cockroaches for ordinary hunters, but in front of the old chief and Faust, there is no doubt that this type is easier to solve.
