Chapter 18: The Battle of the Gorillas
Hans also replied softly, "Did you find anything?"
Imogen said, "Didn't you notice that we had been walking for so long and we hadn't seen a single little animal?" It stands to reason that such mountains and forests are suitable for wild beasts to live in, and even if there are large wild beasts in the mountains and forests, all small animals should not be driven away. Unless ......"
Hans asked, "Unless what?"
Imojin continued: "Unless, there is a powerful demonic beast living here, because when the demonic beast is strong enough, the aura emitted will make small animals dare not approach. But it's unreasonable, if it's a powerful demonic beast, weishenme wants to sneak to the village to steal sheep to eat?" As soon as he finished speaking, Imogen stopped Hans, only to see Imojin climb to a tree like a monkey, and then look around carefully.
Suddenly he said to Hans, "It's coming, you should hide quickly." With that, he immediately took out his bow and arrows, shot several arrows in succession into the distance, and then jumped onto another tree and began to move.
Hans was about to see what was going on, when he heard a loud roar, and a wild beast ran towards them, and even the ground shook a little. Hans looked over and saw a huge orangutan two men tall chasing Imogin, with an arrow stuck in his ear.
The orangutan plucked a small tree from the ground and used it as a weapon, and swept it towards Imogin, and the fragments of the branches almost reached Hans. Imogen used the big tree as a cover to block the small tree's attack, and then found an opportunity to shoot an arrow, but the orangutan's fur was too thick to shoot into it in some places.
Hans planted his sword, took out his wand, and condensed a large ball of fire, which he projected at the orangutan. The orangutan also suddenly woke up, turned around and slapped the fireball away. But the palm of his hand ached, and he turned his head and ran towards Hans.
Hans gritted his teeth, and instead of retreating, he shouted, "Fireball!" and "Fireball!"
The orangutan immediately threw down the tree and put both hands in front of his face, stopping the two fireball spells separately. At this time, I saw that Hans had already run to the side of the orangutan, he took out his long sword and stabbed the orangutan in the stomach, after stabbing a sword, he immediately slipped under the orangutan without pulling out the sword, turned around and showed the telescopic knife, and was about to take a break behind it, but found that the big charred hand of the orangutan fished down from the front, Hans immediately stepped back, and at the same time opened the protective shield of the armguard, although the orangutan did not catch Hans, but a few fingers swept Hans away, flying directly out of a few meters.
Just as the orangutan was about to step on Hans, suddenly a rocket was inserted into the stomach of the orangutan, and then began to burn the long hair on the orangutan's body, the orangutan quickly used his hand to extinguish the fire, but accidentally touched the sword left by Hans, and the orangutan who was in pain again jumped like thunder, pulled out the sword and didn't know where to throw it. But as soon as the sword was drawn, the orangutan began to pour blood.
It looked angrily at Imogen in the distance, then pulled up a small tree and swept towards Imogen with a wave.
Even if the orangutan's small tree just hit another tree, it would cause Imojin to be unsteady on his feet, so he simply jumped to the ground and walked around the larger tree, constantly looking for an opportunity to attack.
Hans, who was knocked away by the orangutan, got up again, he looked at the orangutan covered in blood, and the movement was so big, it shouldn't last long, but its crazy attack was really a bit scary, and the strength was terrifying, any tree as thick as a thigh could be uprooted, and it could be waved and whirring.
And he used the fireball technique continuously just now, and now he doesn't have much mana, and he can only send a small fireball again at most. Taking advantage of the fact that the orangutan didn't notice him, he was about to release the fireball technique again, and it could be seen that the orangutan had hair all over his body, and it was still very effective to burn it with fire.
Sure enough, when Hans's fireball hits the orangutan in the back, it realizes that someone is attacking it from behind. Then, turning his head to look at Hans, he threw the broken tree over with a wave of his hand.
Hans hurriedly rolled away from the flying tree, and was about to escape, but found that the orangutan was too busy extinguishing the fire behind him to find Hans unlucky.
At this moment, an arrow flew by with a whooper and stuck right in the eye of the orangutan. In this way, the orangutan fell with its face on its back and stopped getting up.
Hans exhaled, and when he saw Imogen coming up and scolding, "Do you want to die? With that, he began to check Hans's injuries.
Hans didn't speak, he used his own healing techniques to examine his body injuries, and after a while, he said, "I'm fine, no internal injuries." "Then I treated myself with some superficial minor trauma.
I saw Imojin continue to nag: "I could have killed it easily, but where are you interfering, if it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have wasted a flaming arrow, the bounty for this mission would have been small enough, and I would have to spend more." ”
Hans didn't want to dwell on this topic, and he asked, "Is this orangutan also a monster?"
Imojin said: "Probably not, let's hurry up, if there are other magical beasts on the mountain, it will be troublesome." So saying, he helped Hans all the way down the mountain.
On the way back, Imogen said to Hans, "Your fighting style really doesn't look like that of a magician, how can a magician rush over and fight the enemy in close quarters like this." Besides, you don't have the strength of a warrior, you don't have the agility of an assassin, and you can't withstand the attacks of wild beasts, which is very dangerous. ”
Hans returned to the village in silence, and they reported the task to the village chief, but there was no way to find evidence that it was the orangutan who stole the sheep, but the village chief said that he could defeat a large beast, which could be regarded as helping them, and also gave them 10 gold coins as a reward, saying that he would continue to pay attention to whether they were attacked in the future, and if so, they could only continue to ask for help.
They were invited to stay in the village for the night, and the village chief found them a wooden house with two rooms. That evening, the villagers warmly welcomed both of them in praise of their bravery.
Just before going to bed, Imogen went to Hans and gave him five gold coins, and Hans said, "I don't want it, I came with the mission just to have a good experience, and I didn't think about sharing the money." Besides, I'll let you break the bank. ”
When Imogen heard this, he scolded: "Do you think you can make up for your mistakes without money? Do you know that your impulsiveness will make it easy for you to die? This is not called heroic, it is reckless! You should take a good look at it, and in addition to being responsible for yourself, you must also be responsible for your partner." With that, he threw the gold coin at Hans, turned and walked out.
When Imogen walked out of the door and was about to close the door, he said without looking back: "My brother once gave his life because he acted too impulsively like you. His death was over, but it left his family and friends with a lifetime of grief!" After saying that, he slammed the door shut and walked back to his room.
Hans held the gold coin left behind by Imogin, and his mind echoed what he had said. If he died, who would grieve? Mary, or Sheila, or the brother who didn't know where?
