Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wild Rossevians
Celtic - Great Southern Forest.
As the sun rises, a new day begins, but for the hunters struggling in the mountains and forests, it is just a day-to-day hunt.
Elan and Quincy stealth through the forest, working hard to get their prey, and are one of the 60,000 Rosevians living on the island of Celtic. Like most of their kind, they all make a living by hunting, so they have been rolling around since they were young, and igniting their fighting spirit is just a rite of passage for them.
I don't know how long Ilan walked, but I suddenly felt something, and my eyes couldn't help but glance into the jungle, and in the dark depths of the woods, I couldn't see anything except dead branches and broken leaves and moss shrubs.
But the hunter's sixth sense tells him that a pair of dangerous eyes are peering at him in the dark.
"What's wrong?"
Quincy's voice sounded beside him, and Ilan reacted, shaking her head slightly and making a booing gesture.
The other party instantly understood, did not continue to speak, raised his head along the gap between the branches and leaves, and glanced at the scorching sun in the sky: "Let's rest first, anyway, the time is very generous." ”
"Okay, then take a short break. ”
Yilan stopped at the back of a big tree, untied the water bladder hanging from his waist, pulled out the wooden stopper and poured a few sips, and sighed comfortably:
"It's so cool!"
Quincy sniffed closer, and was choked by a smell of smell, pinched his nose and said:
"There's no smell of alcohol, you drink goat's milk instead. ”
"I don't have any money, my mother said she would save money for me to marry a bride, and now she won't give me a penny. ”
Ilan grumbled. While glancing warily behind him. The feeling of being watched is getting stronger and stronger. and become more realistic and clear.
Quincy was standing opposite him, his eyes paying attention to the gap in the jungle, and in the dark jungle, a pair of green and faint wild eyes suddenly emerged from the withered vines, and shouted violently:
"Do it!"
A bright red flame of light immediately burst out of the two of them, and before the other party could react, they had already turned into phantoms and rushed towards the pair of dark green beast pupils.
"Whoa!"
A pair of cruel eyes saw the flames erupting from their bodies. Unexpectedly, he rushed to the depths of the forest for the first time, as if he knew that the two prey were powerful and terrifying, so he chose to escape......
Yilan and Quincy did not pause, and the whole figure rushed directly into the back of the dead branches and vines, and galloped towards the fleeing wolves, but the fighting spirit of the two of them was more explosive, and the staying power was insufficient, so they could only watch those figures in the dark jungle gradually drift away.
"Lost it...... It's all your fault, what's the hurry!" Ilan grumbled and shoved his companion.
"Hey, hey......" The other party scratched his head with a dry smile, and said with regret on his face: "No way." The first time I saw so many wolves, I couldn't help but want to catch them all. ”
"If only I could hit it. ”
Ilan shook her head in disappointment. Since the nearby Glamorgan had a port, they had a lot more prey to sell, and merchants (mercenaries) often came to buy wolf skins, which could be sold for a dozen soles.
"It's still early, let's wait. ”
As Quincy spoke, her heart suddenly jerked, and she turned to look in the other direction of the forest. I only saw that in the depths of the dark forest, a pair of huge green and bloodshot eyes gradually emerged in the darkness, and they continued to approach the position of the two.
"Damn, I caught a big fish this time. Ilan immediately pulled out a quenched metal spear from behind her back and licked her lips nervously.
"It's such a big man, it's probably an adult violent bear. Quincy drew the short sword at her waist, bowed down, and slowly stepped back.
The pair of blood-colored eyes full of beastliness on the opposite side gradually became clear and bright, and the blurred outline gradually appeared from the darkness, no matter how experienced the two were, under the disparity in size between the two sides, their bodies couldn't help but be a little stiff.
Whew!
With a foul-smelling wind, a giant brown bear that was ten feet tall smashed through the grass and trees in its path and rushed directly in front of the two of them.
"Roar!"
The bear bared its dagger-sharp fangs, and a low roar emanated from deep in its throat, and the nearby plants and trees trembled slightly in the roar.
Ilan and Quincy raised their weapons, stared directly into the bloodshot eyes of the giant bear, took a few deep breaths on the spot, looked at each other and stopped retreating.
The Storm Bear suddenly stood upright, a huge shadow directly covering the sky above the two of them, it obviously didn't pay attention to the two weak prey, and a low roar came from deep in its throat, and the figure kept approaching in their direction.
Ilan clenched the spear in his hand tightly, his palms were already wet with sweat, but his eyes were bravely looking at the giant bear, he knew very well that in the face of such a large prey, once he lost his momentum, everything would be over.
"Fight!"
The two of them thought at the same time, and with this thought, the power of the explosion burned from the depths of their hearts in the muffled voice of the violent bear. In the burning of this force, a raging fire gushed from the surface of their bodies, their skin turned red, and their muscles bulged like strong armor.
"Whoa!"
Ilan and Quincy tensed their muscles, a high-pitched howl came from their mouths and noses, and flames of light poured into the weapons in their hands with bursts of sound waves, and their eyes showed the madness and bestiality that they didn't care about life.
“......”
The bear stopped, his eyes wary at the two men, a little less contempt and more fear in his eyes, and they moved with their daggers and spears in their hands, facing the beast head-on.
The giant bear slowly crouched down its hind limbs, its hideous teeth rubbing against each other violently, and drops of saliva dripped down the sharp teeth on the soil, and the two of them bowed into a taut bowstring, and their palms clenched their weapons even harder.
Boom!
There was a roar in the woods, and the violent bear opened its hideous mouth, and slapped its right palm directly at Ilan, who was holding the spear.
At this moment, the two of them rushed towards the fishy wind at the same time, and the sounds, trees, light and shadow all disappeared in this instant, leaving only the behemoth in front of them - crazy bloodthirsty eyes, hideous and terrifying huge teeth, and strong and powerful forelimbs...... Everything was so clear.
With a high degree of concentration, all the movements of the giant bear were absorbed in their eyes, and the thirst for prey and wealth made the fighting spirit even more intense, and the short sword and spear were still here.
Carrying a flaming flame of light, the sound of hunting rippled from daggers and spears, quickly sweeping through the air.
Bang!
The spear suddenly flung horizontally, directly bombarding the giant palm that smashed into him, Yilan's body shook suddenly, only to feel a huge force overwhelming him, and the fighting spirit on the surface of his body collapsed, and he was flying out with the weapon and people.
Poof!
At the same time, Quincy's body leaped high and slashed through space with a short sword, and the giant bear's throat let out a series of tearing sounds, followed by a great force of inertia surging into his body, knocking him to the ground. Sensing the threat of death, Stormbear's eyes were completely replaced by frenzied emotion, and he slapped Quincy on the shoulder, slapping the man out like a mosquito.
The experienced hunter clenched his dagger and slashed its throat with the help of his prey's own strength, spurting blood as if it were flowing water, and Quincy's whole body was splashed red.
"Uh-uh!"
The bear covered his wounds in vain, but he still couldn't stop the blood flowing, and could only let out a series of strange howls spraying blood foam, and pounced on the murderer who hurt him.
It's going to be a life for a life!
At the moment when the troll sprinted away with a crushing momentum, Ilan, whose whole body was burning with flames, stood up, rushed forward first, and slammed his feet into the skull of the violent bear.
Bang!
Caught off guard, the giant bear was dizzy from his full blow, and fell to the ground violently, and the two quickly turned over and began to desperately distance themselves.
Boom!
One by one, the giant trees were stopped and broken, and the violent bear, who felt that his life was coming to an end, completely fell into madness, and while chasing the two, he continued to squander the power in his body.
Its strength grew weaker and weaker, its limbs weaker and weaker, and it finally lay on the ground, gasping for breath and letting life pass.
Seeing this, the two stopped, looked at each other who were drenched in blood, couldn't help but gasp for breath, and walked towards the giant bear lying on the ground, and immediately grinned.
"A bruised bear with almost no wounds, we're both rich!" Quincy said happily, touching the blood on her face.
"It's a good thing I didn't poke it with a spear, otherwise it would have been poisoned, and the price of this bear would have been greatly reduced. Ilan scurried over to the dead bear and closed his eyes.
"Let's go, take this bear to Glamorgan, and we'll have a drink when we get the money. ”
......
The two dragged the dead bear corpse one after the other, panting over the hill, and finally arrived at the only market in the whole of Celtic - the Brave Market.
It's just that today's Brave Bazaar looks different, not only are there red bars pasted everywhere, but there are also beautiful girls who make people drool on the street handing out flyers.
Ilan and Quincy trotted to the market center as usual, and bargained for a long time with several merchants (mercenaries) who collected the bear carcass, and finally sold the whole bear carcass for 1850 soles.
"Rich, rich, rich! Great harvest!" the two of them held a thick pile of banknotes, and danced happily.
"Conscription! Anyone who has Imperial citizenship, has no bad convictions, and has a vindictive spirit can sign up for the Celtic First Army. Once you pass the physical examination, you will be paid a salary of 2,000 immediately, enlisted in the army for three years, and a bonus of 30,000!"
A middle-aged mercenary holding a megaphone, standing on a high platform in the center of the market, kept repeating this sentence. (To be continued......)
