Chapter 25: The Hunting Storm
After Geraint fled to Craigie Island with Joshua, he lived incognito. Craigie Island is an island located in the western sea of the mainland, which was once the exile of the kingdom, and was far away from the kingdom and loosely regulated, making it a paradise for wanderers. People can live freely on their own merits, hence the name "Wings of Freedom". The Mallory family is the largest shili on the island, and the owner, Haig Mallory, has a close relationship with the pirate king Roger.
Joshua and Geraint fled to Craigie Island and settled in the foothills southwest of the town of Bane. For six years, Geraint taught Joshua to read and learn the sword every day, living an ordinary life.
One day, Joshua finished his day as usual, and Geraint was about to go out to the market to buy some ingredients for dinner.
"Uncle, I've been practicing for so long, let me go to the mountains and kill a few wolves!" Joshua looked at Geraint.
Geraint shook his head and said very seriously: "Practice and actual combat are two different things, and your level is still far behind. I'm going to the market, I'm obedient, I'm not allowed to go!"
With a "squeak~", Geraint closed the door and went to the market alone.
"It's all about practice, it's boring!" Joshua muttered. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Hehe, no one can take care of me when my uncle is gone~"
So Joshua sneaked out of the house with an iron sword that Geraint had made at the bazaar, heading for the Craigie Mountains. "I'm going to kill a few wolves today and I'm going to show Uncle Geraint. He's going to be impressed with me......"
Joshua came to the mountains alone and began to look for prey. "Uncle Geraint used to go hunting in the mountains, and he always brought back some wild boars and maned wolves, but when I went up the mountain, I couldn't see anything. Joshua walked slowly along the mountain path. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound in the woods next to him. "There's movement in the woods, maybe it's a big boar!" Joshua followed the voice and ran into the woods.
"Little ghost, did you go up the mountain alone?" Joshua had just entered the woods when he heard a strange noise.
"Huh, who's talking to me?" Joshua looked around, but didn't see anyone.
"I'm talking to you!" Suddenly, behind a tree, a pair of blood-red eyes flashed. A maned wolf appeared in front of Joshua, but the maned wolf in front of him was actually standing on two legs, and he was holding a stone stick in his hand.
"Oh my god, how can there be a wolf that can talk?" Joshua startled.
"Little ghost, I'm no ordinary wolf, I'm the legendary Maned Werewolf. The maned wolf bared its sharp fangs, "If you know each other, hurry up and hand over all the money on your body......"
"Strange, why do you need so much money when you're a werewolf?" Joshua wondered.
"Little ghost, do you want to take care of it, if you don't hand over the money again, believe it or not, I'll eat you?" the maned werewolf was frustrated by Joshua.
"But I'm just a child, I don't have any money on me! Joshua spread his hands toward the maned werewolf.
"Then you'll make me food!" the maned werewolf looked at him with a fierce look and pounced on Joshua with his stone stick.
"Hey, I'm not afraid of you, just use the swordsmanship that Uncle Geraint taught me to deal with you. Joshua raised his iron sword and slashed at the werewolf.
However, the maned werewolf dodged Joshua's attack with the agility of the werewolf: "Little ghost, even with your level of swordsmanship, you dare to go up to the mountain alone to hunt?"
"Hey, I just made a mistake. Joshua struck another sword at the maned werewolf.
"You little devil still have a hard mouth?" the maned werewolf grinned with his red teeth, dodging Joshua's second attack, and then stretched out his foot and tripped Joshua directly, "Taste the stone stick in my hand!"
The maned werewolf raised his stone stick and smashed it at Joshua's head as he lay on the ground, and Joshua grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it in the mane's face. "Oops, I've got sand in my eyes, damn imp!"
"If I can't beat it, I'll run!" Joshua quickly got up and ran away.
"Damn imp, give me zhanzhu, give me zhanzhu!" the maned werewolf chased Joshua with his stone stick raised.
"You can't catch me, you can't catch me!" Joshua shouted, running down the hill.
Joshua ran and suddenly stepped on something, and the garlic under his feet fell to the ground. "What messed me up? Hey, is this a boar?" Joshua sat up and looked around, realizing that there was a boar lying beside him.
"Damn, who is disturbing my sleep. At this time, the wild boar actually made a sound, patted the dust on its body, and stood up from the ground.
"Oh, what's wrong today, first I met a talking wolf, how come even a pig can talk this time?" Joshua felt that today was an unlucky day.
"It turned out that you little ghost disturbed my good dreams. The boar stood up, its size looking to be the size of two Joshua, "I just woke up hungry, I'll make you my dinner!" the boar man smiled as he walked towards Joshua.
"Get out of here!" Joshua picked up his iron sword and slashed at the boarman. However, this boar man has rough skin and thick flesh, and Joshua's iron sword has not been opened, so the boar man has no reaction when he cuts it down.
"Little ghost, I advise you not to resist uselessly!" the boar man grabbed Joshua by the collar and lifted him up.
"I said the chubby guy in front, let go of that little ghost. He's already my dinner. At this moment, the maned werewolf appeared behind them.
"Where did the wild dogs come from?" the boar man glared at the maned werewolf, "and now this imp is mine." ”
"You stinky boar, I'm a werewolf, not a wild dog!" Hearing that the boar man regarded himself as a wild dog, the maned werewolf was very angry, "If you don't let go, I'll eat you together!"
"What a big breath, I'm going to fix you wild dog today. As soon as he finished speaking, the boar man threw Joshua to the ground and charged at the maned weol. The maned werewolf did not show weakness and picked up the stone stick to meet him. The two orcs suddenly fought.
"Fortunately, the beasts are stupid, so run ...... now," Joshua hurriedly ran down the hill when he saw this.
"Bang, bang!" Suddenly, several gunshots rang out, and Joshua stopped. "The gunfire seems to be coming from where I am, and I'll have to go back and see what's going on. Joshua cautiously returned to the mountain the way he came.
"You two fools, what are you arguing about here? It's all my own people I hired!" I saw a man in camouflage suddenly appear there with a shotgun in his hand. The maned werewolf and the wild boar man who were still in a mess just now were puzzled for a while: "What did you say, he was also hired by you?"
"He doesn't look like a hunter in our village......" Joshua looked behind a boulder.
"I'll tell you to lure out some animals of your kind, and then rob some passers-by by the way, and we'll divide the benefits equally. But I haven't seen anything but a wild boar so far!" the hunter pulled out a sharp dagger from his body, "and you are arguing here again, believe it or not that I let my companions come and slaughter you?"
"I said what's the hurry, it's still early, and there will definitely be a harvest later. The boar man said.
"Who's there?" Suddenly, the hunter's keen sense of smell seemed to sense someone's presence. Joshua was shocked, thinking that he had been discovered. But suddenly, an unknown object sprang out of the forest and ran towards him.
"Don't move, I'll shoot if I run any more. The hunter picked up the shotgun in his hand and aimed it at the unidentified object.
"Don't ...... Don't shoot, I'm just a homeless druid trying to catch a rabbit in the mountains. "It turned out to be a midshipman druid in the Craigie Mountains.
"Druid? I've only heard people mention it before, but I didn't expect to see it today. The hunter laughed, "Looks like it's a good day." A rare creature like a druid must be able to fetch a good price!"
"He's a jungle poacher! Uncle Geraint had warned me that these poachers were dangerous. Joshua sweated for the druid, "But in this case I should still be a good man and find a way to save the druid." ”
"Don't come here, I'm magical. The druid spread his hands as if to launch a magical attack.
"It's funny, I'd like to see what magic you have?" said the poacher in a tone of contempt.
"Look at me turning you into a parrot, turn me into a ......" Trainee Druid cast his magic, but it didn't turn out as he thought, "What's the matter, why didn't he become a parrot?
"It's magic, it's ridiculous, you'd better be my prey!" the poacher raised his shotgun and was about to pull the trigger. Suddenly, a rock flew from the side and landed firmly on the bushpoacher's head......
