Chapter 5 Departure, Wilderness Area
Two days later, Galen and the others returned to the village, along with twelve captives and a cart full of food, which was enough to feed people for more than a month!
"Welcome back warriors, it looks like you've had a good harvest!" Allen said with a smile.
"Fortunately, I won't be dishonored!" a smile appeared on Galen's resolute face: "There are fifty-eight thieves in total, seventeen are killed, fifteen are prisoners, and only six have escaped, and there is no threat." ”
"It's a pity that the money from these thieves has gone somewhere, and we have only found a lot of gold coins in the entire camp of the thieves. Galen added with regret and handed Alan a bag of gold coins.
"Good job!" Alan complimented as he took the gold coin. Now the territory is in ruins, food and gold are scarce resources, and even these captives are valuable human resources. Counting the previous twelve captives, there are now twenty-seven free laborers in the village!
And with the addition of these more gold coins, Eren already has more than seven gold coins on his body, and he is one step closer to the second hero.
"What about the casualties?" Alan asked.
This time it was Alex who answered: "Brother Galen rushed forward first, and we just surrounded the thieves who escaped, so no brothers were killed, only five were slightly wounded." ”
Alan nodded with satisfaction again, it seems that he still underestimated Galen's combat effectiveness, and he was able to kill the opposite side with a pair of fifty-eight.
"Let's go and rest, and tomorrow we'll set out to explore the wilderness area. ”
Early the next morning, Alan ordered his men and set off towards the wilderness area. The entourage consisted of Galen, eighteen members of the bodyguard, except for five wounded, and ten prisoners.
These former thieves, although they have not been able to cultivate their fighting spirit, are all strong and strong, and they are completely capable of carrying some dry food, tents, and tools to be used in the field.
As for the remaining seventeen captives, Alan had the five guards and more than a dozen able-bodied villagers take them to the woods near the village to cut down trees and extract timber. There were five first-class warrior guards and more than a dozen middle-aged villagers, and they were not afraid that they would dare to rebel.
"Galen, you used the skills of Critical Strike and Judgment when you fought the thieves that day, right?"
Galen nodded, "Yes." ”
"Then will you be the one who will be righteous in Demacia, that is, a giant sword that falls from the sky and then attacks the enemy. Alan asked excitedly.
"Yes," Galen replied, "but you won't be able to do it until after level six." ”
Alan smiled, it seems to be the same as the setting in the League of Legends game.
"How long will it take you to reach level six?"
"At the current cultivation rate, it will probably take more than half a year. Galen replied.
It is worthy of being a hero summoned by the system! Alan thought to himself, it only takes half a year to cultivate from a fifth-level warrior to a sixth-level warrior, and this talent is enough to make the top geniuses on the continent ashamed.
"However, if you can kill more people or monsters, this time should be shortened quite a bit. Galen continued.
"Killing people or monsters can also improve your strength?" Alan asked in surprise.
"Hmm," Galen nodded, "I've been killing some thieves in the past few days, and I feel like I'm getting a lot stronger." ”
Galen's words made Alex and other guards and thieves captives look sideways, no wonder this person in front of him is so thirsty for killing, it turns out that killing people can improve his strength!
Alan did have some sudden realizations, isn't this the same as killing monsters in the game to gain experience points to level up!It seems that it is a correct decision to bring Galen to the wilderness area to explore, if Galen can kill a few more monsters, the time to upgrade should be shortened a lot.
If only he could kill monsters and upgrade himself!" Alan couldn't help but look at Galen with some envy in his eyes. For his mediocre cultivation talent, Alan felt very helpless, and it was estimated that it would take two years to become a level warrior.
It would be great if you could find a heavenly treasure that increases your cultivation talent or directly makes people advance, you must know that if your strength can be increased by one level, the level of all heroes summoned in the future will be increased by one, and this benefit is huge.
The village of Tru is on the border of the Empire, so Alan and his party quickly set foot in the wilderness area. And from the moment they stepped into the wilderness area, everyone couldn't help but get nervous.
After all, the wilderness area is notorious, and no one knows what unknown dangers they will encounter.
However, probably because it is located on the edge of the wilderness area, it is not like the legend that monsters are walking all over the ground, Alan and the others have been walking around for a long time, and ordinary animals and beasts have seen a lot, but they have never found the figure of the monster. Of course, they didn't dare to go too deep, just wandering around the outer areas.
In the distance, a forest appeared in front of Alan and the others, and when he got closer, Alan found that this was a tree that he had never seen before.
The tree is about two meters tall, with a thick, jet-black trunk and large leaves, somewhat resembling the leaves of a plane tree on Earth.
Alan didn't care about the woods, but Alex trotted to a tree, stroked the trunk with his hand, and watched carefully.
"Master Allen, it's Ebonwood, it's Ebonwood!" Alex shouted excitedly.
"Ebony wood?" Alan asked, he didn't know what ebony wood was.
"Yes to Ebony Iron!" Alex said excitedly: "The hardness of the wood is comparable to pig iron, but the weight is only one-tenth of the same volume of pig iron, and the trunk of a black iron tree can be sold for a few gold coins in the market!
Allen's eyes lit up after listening to Alex's words, and he stepped forward to observe the ebony tree carefully: "Where are the ebony woods generally used on the mainland?"
"It's used in a lot of places," Alex replied, "but most of them are made into weapons, such as guns, shields, armor, etc." The Kingdom of Harilo has a very strong team of heavy infantry equipped with ebony shields and armor. ”
Wearing armor and shields made of ebony wood is equivalent to having heavy armor defenses, but it is extremely light and powerful in action.
Alan tapped the trunk of the black iron tree with his hand: "It's as hard as pig iron, is it difficult to mine, right? ”
"What the young master said," said Alex, "if you want to mine, you need at least a warrior with a sharp axe to do it, and the efficiency is very slow, it is good to cut down a tree in a day." Moreover, it is easy to process into a shield, and if it is to be processed into armor, it can only be done by at least a high-level blacksmith with the assistance of two warriors above level 5. ”
Alan was a little disappointed when he heard this, the thing is good, but he can't use it for the time being! Even if he wants to cut it down and sell it for money, it is troublesome, do you want to leave Alex or Galen here to cut down the tree slowly?
"I'll try. Galen stepped forward brandishing the greatsword in his hand.
I saw that Galen's hands began to glow blue, and then he waved the giant sword in his hand, and the sword was slammed at the root of a black iron tree.
There was a clash of gold and iron, and Galen's greatsword sank more than an inch into the trunk of the tree.
Allen's eyes lit up, there was a play! At Galen's speed, it wouldn't take even an hour to cut down a black iron tree!
"Is your sword alright?" Alan asked, if Galen's sword was destroyed by cutting down a tree.
Galen handed the sword to Allen's eyes, only to see that the blade was as sharp as ever, and there was no damage in the slightest. Alan couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the system is out, it must be fine!
"Mark this place on the map first, and when we get back to the village, let Galen chop down two and bring it back. Alan said in high spirits.
"Roar~~~"
Just as Alan and the others were about to leave the woods and continue to probe forward, a beast roar came from the depths of the woods.
Galen and his guards suddenly stood in front of Eren as if they were facing a great enemy, staring nervously into the depths of the woods.
After a while, I saw a blue-black figure jumping back and forth on the two-meter-high black iron tree trunk, quickly approaching Alan and the others.
After the black figure reached the edge of the woods, he jumped down from the trunk of the tree and landed more than ten meters in front of Allen and the others, and let out a loud roar towards everyone.
Only then did Eren see the appearance of this monster clearly, somewhat like a cheetah on the earth, but it was much larger, the surface of the body was covered by a thick cuticle, as if it was wearing armor, and the nails on its four claws were sharp, and Eren had no doubt that it could easily tear a person to pieces.
When Alan looked at the monster, a set of data suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ironclad Panther

Strength Comparison (vs. Host): Invincible
