The pack of wolves did not give the hunters more time to prepare because the preparations they needed were already done. The four wolves pounced on Laura and Pierce in pairs, and one wolf in each of them stared at the two of them waiting for an opportunity, while on Gerak's side, on the contrary, the extra wolves did not hesitate at all, and attacked him in the most ferocious and direct way, and the battlefield was divided into three parts.

Pierce, who is usually weak, is particularly outstanding in battle, and the two wolves that pounce on him almost close to him, the dagger in his hand cuts a bright red landscape on them, and the speed of the attack makes the other hungry wolf who is looking for a flaw in the back be beheaded before he can react.

As if knowing that Laura was best at bows and arrows, the attacking wolf did not give her the slightest chance to shoot, and without any hesitation, the three wolves decided to attack together, and they jumped quickly into the prey but ignored that the prey with two legs less than them was also able to jump. Laura's lithe body spun in the air, the bow and arrow on the string were dyed with a layer of electric light, and the arrow with the sound of thunder was like a living creature drawing an arc through the heads of the three wolves in turn.

The dwarven warriors fought in the most direct way, the transmission of power on both arms injected a powerful destructive power into the double-edged axe, and with a light touch, the already thin wolf was shattered under the touch of the blade, and the hungry wolves took advantage of the interval between the movements of Grad when he swung the battle axe, and found the right time to pounce on the merchant with his back to them, which was an excellent killing opportunity, but a strong arm stopped on their fangs. Grak took the axe in one hand, and with one turn he swept his free arm into the fangs, breaking their teeth and shattering their heads.

The wolves originally planned a perfect division of the battlefield, but instead gave the three hunters the best way to deal with it, as long as the wolves took the three of them as the main target at the beginning, the merchants were safe at the first time, and the hunters only needed to use this short time to deal with the wolves, and those who couldn't even deal with the wolves were not worthy of being bounty hunters.

The battle started tense and ended quickly, and Pierce withdrew his dagger and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ranger Pierce: "Luckily, my skills haven't regressed. ”

The dwarf Grak's reproach immediately sounded: "You haven't retreated, you have regressed to the point where you can't regress anymore, you can't even find the enemy in advance, what's the use of you?!"

Laura played a round game: "Okay, no one can guarantee what will be sent outside, it's okay." ”

Gerak put away his tomahawk, in fact, this encounter with wolves was not a big deal, what he was worried about was affecting their impression score in the minds of merchants, and they couldn't even detect the traces of wild animals, let alone monsters.

Dwarf Grad: "Mr. Merchant, are you alright, are you hurt?"

Merchant: "I'm very grateful for your concern, the tacit cooperation of the three of you has kept me from any damage, and it is really an excellent team of hunters." ”

Grack breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem to have an impact, he didn't want to return to Devonburg and spread the word among all his peers that his team was having trouble protecting bounties among the wolves.

The four who managed to neutralize the threat didn't plan to stay long, they quickly packed their bags and prepared to continue on their way, but the goddess of fate seemed to want to give them more training.

Boom!

A loud noise startled the birds in the forest, and then the sound seemed to determine the direction, thinking that the position of the four of them was rushing towards it.

Gerak regained his double-edged axe and began to curse, "Fuck, I knew it wasn't that simple, Snown was such a fucking stinking bitch!"

The trio regrouped, this time in a triangular pattern in front of the merchant and the carriage, with Gerak leading the way from a distance.

The trees leaned to both sides, a behemoth was carving out a passage with its strong body, the trees that were lifted off in front of it flew high above everyone's heads with their roots, and fell behind them to blow up a cloud of mud and dust, and the dull steps stepped on the hunter's heart, and the tall body covered the noon sun, and the monster showed its figure to everyone.

Dwarf Grad: "Monitor lizard, isn't that too big!"

Laura shouted, "Keep your eyes open, this is no ordinary monitor lizard, this is the Triple Crowned Lizard King." ”

The long and thick forelimbs that are as strong as a boulder, the hind limbs full of explosive power, the dark yellow scale armor, and the triple crown on the top of the head are declaring his status as king.

Grak the Dwarf: "Fuck. ”

With a curse, Gerak was the first to rush out, and the physical disadvantage did not provide him with good attack speed. Laura picked up three arrows between her four fingers, yellow lightning rose into the air, and three lightning bolts successfully attracted the first wave of attention of the Triple Crowned Lizard King. Pierce started with a run-up move, his legs flapping over the grass and his body melted into the wind, but the last attacker was the first to approach the enemy.

The momentum of the run was once again strengthened by the rotation of his body, and he nimbled through the forelimbs of the Triple Crested Lizard, and the sharp blade of Pierce's dagger pierced into its hind limbs but only sank less than halfway. The Three-Crowned Lizard King was in pain but did not suffer much damage, it looked down at the little guy who had gotten behind him at some point, and as soon as it made a move, the surrounding three points of lightning immediately took the opportunity to attack its eyes, and when it tried to dodge, the pain in its forelimbs came again, and Gerk's axe landed on its feet. The three-way attack successfully sealed the Lizard King's mobility and vision.

The scene in front of the merchant is a battle scene with excellent cooperation of hunters, and the hunters know very well what kind of combat methods should be used in the face of large enemies, first to attract attention, use the speed advantage to give the monitor lizard the first damage, and at the same time for the dwarf companions to pass the attack time, use two points of attack, lose sight and impaired mobility, the monitor lizard is just a fixed target.

The black horse cried softly with a warm snort and rested his head on his master's shoulder.

The merchant stroked the black horse: "They work well together, don't they, Black Wind." ”

However, an attack that does not deal the damage it should do is not an attack.

Laura, who found out that the attack was successful, pulled the bowstring for the second time, but realized that things were not going as smoothly as they expected, and she yelled, "Disperse!

The transparent film on the monitor lizard's eyes perfectly blocked the three sharp arrows, and Laura pulled the bowstring, this time three arrows dragging the red flame. The three-crested monitor lizard flicked its neck like a leather whip, and it swept through with its large mouth, biting three rockets in one bite, and its two forelimbs lifted to the shorter and thick hind limbs as fulcrums, pulling Grak and the axe into the air, and the ground was torn apart like a mirror.

Equally nimble was the dragon's long tail, and Pierce's exaggerated movements also affected Pierce, who had not yet regained his balance when the tail came at him, trying to adjust his position with the dagger in his hand to dodge the attack. It's a pity that the tail that seems to have eyes accurately tied Pierce, and the long tail swept a large arc around the monitor lizard, throwing Pierce towards Laura, who pulled up the bowstring for the third time.

Pierce crashed into the tree with Laura with a huge impact, and the feedback from her body was telling Laura that her ribs seemed to be broken, and the sharp pain filled her brain, but she didn't have time to tidy it up, Laura had to get up right away, she couldn't leave Grad alone with this monster.

Laura: "Get your ass off the ground Pierce, we're not done yet!"

The roar was boosting morale, but the body that didn't listen to her own wishes was pulling back, and Laura could barely half lean on the trunk of the tree, let alone pull the bow that had fallen three meters away from her. Pierce propped himself up on all fours, he was trying to stop coughing, his lungs seemed to burst, every wisp of air he inhaled leaked out of the cracks in all directions, the roar of his brain made him dizzy, his body was transmitting bad news to him, he was temporarily losing his mobility.

The victorious monitor lizard raises its proud head and looks down at the ants who dare to challenge it, and the ants need to pay a corresponding price - to become nourishment in their own bodies.

Dwarf Grak: "Ahhh

From the shattered earth, a cold-light double-edged axe protruded, and the brave dwarven warrior with a roar once again challenged the enemy. The overhead tomahawk poured all of Gerk's strength, including his weight, and the blade of the axe cut through the scales and cut a red line on the monitor lizard.

The three-crested monitor lizard roared in the sky, its roar announcing the death of the stupid ant, the long tail stretched into a "spear" and charged towards the dwarven warrior, Gerak crossed the axe, and the heavy impact from the tip of the monitor lizard's tail sent Gerak flying upside down, falling to the ground for several weeks before stopping. The brave and unyielding warrior was still commanding his body, he was supported by a double-edged axe, his legs squirming and slowly getting up, the grass in front of him was stained red with the blood he had spit out, and the warm stream oozing from his nose soaked his beard, Gerak looked at the enemy again, and all the warrior had to do was always face his enemy, which was the dignity of the warrior.

It doesn't seem like a shame to not be able to protect your bounty in the hands of the Triple Crowned Lizard King, it's so much better than a pack of wolves, is that the end of it?

......

Stand up, cowardly Grad, take your axe and save your bounty from this four-legged brute, and do everything you can, even if it's with your enemies!

The last of its glory was poured into the body as life force, and the dwarven warriors once again stood tall on the battlefield. With his wrist twisted on the end of the axe's handle, a dark green mist emerged from the gap, scurrying around the double-edged axe.

Dwarf Gerak: "Come on, brute, let Lao Tzu see what else you are capable of!"

The monitor lizard's long tail swept in again, and the high fighting spirit made Gerak forget the pain, he rolled sideways to avoid the attack, leaned over and sprinted straight towards the monitor lizard, the recovered tail struck from behind, Gerak fell down at once, and the "advantage" of height allowed him to dodge a blow against the back of his head and win him the distance to attack.

The blade of the axe wrapped around the green mist cut through the wound left by the previous attack, and the moment the dark green smoke touched the flesh, it exerted the effect of magma, and the sound of roasting meat helped the axe blade split the strong muscles of the monitor lizard, severing his tough bones, and the dwarven warrior Gerak slashed off the entire forelimbs of the three-crowned monitor lizard.

The smoke was intensely corrosive, eroding every drop of blood that came out of the monitor lizard's wounds, and this attack made the monitor lizard taste bitter. Gerak didn't intend to stop there, the unbalanced body of the monitor lizard leaned towards him, and the monitor lizard's neck was getting closer and closer to Gerke, which was a perfect opportunity, and Gerke stepped on the opponent's scale armor, intending to climb up with the strength to deliver the final fatal blow.

The fighting spirit can make the pain forget but not heal the pain, and the impending victory makes Gerk ignore many things, his own scars, the little strength he has left, and the fierce tail of the monitor lizard. The strength given to Grad by his legs was not enough for him to get enough help, the neck that connected the monitor lizard's head was close but unreachable, the sound of breaking wind sounded in his ears, and Longtail took the opportunity to attack, and with the smoke blessing of the double-edged axe, the power of the double-edged axe increased dramatically, and the dwarven warrior planned to shave off the annoying tail in the same way. However, Gerak found that his arms were turning too slowly, and the opponent's tail was too fast, and he failed to adjust the tomahawk to a proper angle in time, and Gerak was shaken away.

The dawn of victory dissipated again.

The monitor lizard's roar became hoarse, but its anger was not weakened by the injury, but reached a critical point. The three-crested monitor lizard, having lost one of its forelimbs, stood up on its remaining three legs, its tail raised high and aimed at the most damned ant in front of it.

The longtail attack landed in Grad's position, and the sand and stones were splashed, and there were no bones left under such a powerful attack. The dust returned to the earth, a pair of frightened eyes were revealed, and next to his cheek was a tail covered with scales, and the monitor lizard's attack missed its target, passing Grad.

Suddenly, the monitor lizard let out a mournful roar, and the three able-bodied feet seemed to be exhausted and could no longer support their huge body, and the three-crowned monitor lizard fell to the ground, and the long tail shrugged out of its vitality. Gerak watched in amazement, this time the goddess of fate was on his side.

The dwarven warrior really wants to give himself two slaps now, and at the beginning of the battle, he dared to call Goddess Snoen a bitch? Grak, you're a bitch!

Whoosh

Three arrows rained down from the sky, and this time they pierced the monitor lizard's eyes with great accuracy, and two blood-colored flowers bloomed on the head of the three-crowned monitor lizard.

Laura: "How long do you want to sit down and grab your goddamn axe to end this fight!"

Laura's shout brought Grad to his senses, and he picked up the double-edged axe and took it down, slashing three times in quick succession to separate the lizard's head, during which the monitor lizard did not let out another scream.

As a bystander, the merchant witnessed the whole battle, and the three ordinary bounty hunters had something to admire, and the merchant gently stroked the long black wind on his shoulder, calming its emotions and calming its scarlet eyes again.

Laura walked over with Pierce in her arms, and the huge corpse of the Lizard King made her a little incredulous that the three of them could take care of such a guy. Gerak breathed heavily, the sweet air of the victory calming his heart.

Merchant: "It's a good fight, it's amazing. ”

Dwarf Gerak smiled relaxedly, "There's no Mr. Merchant, it's important that you're okay, and we've dealt with tougher enemies in the world. ”

No, we don't.

This time, though, Laura wasn't going to poke at Gerlac, a rare victory, and as the victor she felt Gerak was proud, at least for now.

Ranger Pierce: "I'm sorry Laura Gracker, I didn't help more. ”

Laura: "Don't do that, you've done your part well enough, and if you do, I won't help either." ”

The dwarf Gerak laughed, "Don't blame yourself, you've done a good job, and you'll just leave the rest to Master Grak." ”

Laura squinted, this guy got a little carried away.

The merchant looked at the smoke: "This is Teng Snake Snake Venom?"

Dwarf Grad: "Oh, yes, Mr. Merchant, it's my secret artifact. ”

Merchant: "Snake venom is not a good choice, there are more and better snake venoms. ”

Grak the Dwarf: "Of course, but it also costs more and better coins." Teng snake venom doesn't cause much of a problem for me, as long as I don't use it for a long time, I have a lot of resistance to this snake venom. ”

Gerk twisted the handle back to stop the smoke, and the green mist began to dissipate, and he tossed the double-edged axe aside, as he said the snake venom didn't affect him much, except that his nails were slightly green. It's just a bit of a pity, to use the snake venom you have to kill an adult snake with a body length of three to four meters, extract the venom from their fangs, go through a series of tedious processes, and finally insert it into the handle of the axe, and things like this are all disposable.

After a moment of thought, the merchant said, "Everyone has lost something in this battle, and as a return gift for the three who protected me, I think I can make up for it a little." ”

The merchant returned to the carriage and rummaged through the sounds, reappearing with a lot more in his hand.

Merchant:" Pierce, this short sword comes from the smelting city, the length is about the same as what you use, the sword body is forged from stainless steel, both hardness and sharpness should be better than what you use now, the only drawback is that there was no forger to enchant it at the beginning, Laura This feather arrow can be said to be a medium specially created for enchanters, it can better exert your strength, its material is more tough and not easy to damage, the most important thing is that you can leave a mark on it, if you handle it properly, you only need a command after the battle and they will automatically return to your quiver, which can save you a lot of trouble; , it is also snake venom, but its power will probably be much stronger than the Teng snake venom you are using now, and it will not affect you, I don't recommend you to use it easily until the critical moment. ”

These are three things that are incredibly tempting, three good things that fit perfectly with the personalities of the three hunters, but also expensive things, especially the feathered arrows that the merchant wants to give to Lara. Enchanters in the world are not made to fight, but to create, so very few people go to the trouble of creating a weapon that is specifically suitable for enchanter combat, let alone such a handy and practical weapon.

Pierce and Laura hesitated, not believing that their contribution in this battle would be rewarded so well, and Gerak took the snake venom with him.

After a closer look, the dwarf Grak: "Good thing?"

Merchant: "Good thing. ”

Dwarf Grak: "Disposable?"

Merchant: "Disposable." ”

Gluck was satisfied, and thanked the goddess of fate for arranging for him to have the opportunity to meet this generous merchant.

Ranger Pierce: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I didn't do anything, I don't deserve such a good dagger." ”

Dwarf Grak: "What are you talking about, this is Mr. Merchant's thank you gift to us, what kind of thank you gift? Thank you for saving him, do you think that Mr. Merchant's life is not worth as much as these three things? This is the greatest insult to Mr. Merchant, and I, Grak, will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Gerak took what the merchant had and stuffed it into the hands of the two men, reiterating that they were determined to accept their weapons.

Merchant: "You don't need to mind, good weapons should be used by good people." ”

Dwarf Grad: "Listen, Mr. Merchant's words are unique, and he has put things away!"

At the merchant's insistence, Laura and Pierce had no choice but to accept their respective weapons, which was a good reward.

Merchant: "By the way, you're all wounded, and there's good medicine on the wagon, and I think I can help you." ”

Dwarf Grak: "Oh my God, I can't find a better way to praise you, Mr. Merchant, you are ...... for generosity, kindness, and selflessness."

......

...

An unpleasant, rich smell filled the air, and the peculiar smell even overshadowed the stench of the corpse of the three-crowned monitor lizard, and the merchant continued to add herbs and some unique ingredients to the mortar in an orderly manner.

Laura: "He just put that bug in?"

Ranger Pierce: "Sorry, I didn't see that. ”

Laura: "Is he going to put that wriggling lump in now?"

Ranger Pierce: "Sorry, I didn't see that. ”

Laura: "Was it a tongue that went in?"

Ranger Pierce: "Please, Laura, please don't tell me the details. ”

Laura: "Grad, why don't you keep complimenting." ”

Dwarf Grak: "Shut up!"

After some effort, three bowls of healing medicine were placed in front of the three hunters.

Laura: "Mr. Merchant, this is ......"

The merchant's tone was gentle: "Healing medicine, the effect is very good." ”

Laura: "...... Maybe we can find a compromise and I'll return the feather arrow to you, so you won't need this medicine, right?"

The merchant sent the medicine bowl forward, with a clear attitude.

Pierce took a deep breath, mentally prepared, and took the medicine bowl with both hands and drank it violently, while the other two hunters watched his Adam's apple squirm up and down with wide eyes, and it didn't take Pierce a few sips to drink the entire bowl of medicine.

Laura and Gerrak: "How does it feel. ”

Pierce glanced at the merchant and fell to the ground with a thud, and the two looked at the merchant in horror.

The merchant thought for a moment: "Of course you need to rest after drinking the medicine, just wake up." ”

......

...

Packing up his things, the merchant put the three sleeping bounty hunters in the wagon, took the reins and patted the old friend.

Merchant: "Thank you for your help, Blackwind, now, get us out of here." ”

The black horse cries and pulls the carriage, leading the four out of the chaotic and ruined battlefield.

Laura and Pierce woke up on the third day, the most comfortable sleep they had ever slept in their lives, and even more perfect than this was the first moment they woke up to eat the delicious morning prepared by the merchant, which made them feel upside down for the first time, and they became the one being served, experiencing the meticulous care of the butler.

Ranger Pierce: "Mr. Merchant, where are we now?"

Merchant: "In the short time you have been resting, we are lucky that there have been no further accidents, and at the current rate, we will arrive in Wolf Hidden Town this afternoon." ”

Laura, who was still enjoying herself, only reacted when she heard the conversation between the two, very lucky? very lucky, if they were attacked by any beast or monster during the time they were asleep, the three of them would be killed in their sleep, and this unarmed good merchant would definitely die.

As for someone who hadn't spoken until now, still asleep, Grad, who didn't make a snoring sound, was unusual, leading the other two to wonder if the dwarven warrior hadn't survived the bubbling bowl of medicine.

The merchant felt that this trip would bring him a different harvest, a new harvest, and he hoped that this was the harvest he was looking forward to, and at the beginning of the journey alone, the merchant had already seen a lot of interesting things, hoping that the upcoming arrival in Wolf Hidden Town would bring him more new things that he did not know.

......

...

The muddy road broke through the grass, and the man carried the stake one foot deep and the other shallow, looking for the balance between the stake and the weight of the muscles on his body in the soft mud puddles, and from time to time he had to shout at the little bastards who kept coming to harass him, and he had tasted dog shit and black mud for the first time when he was planted in the hands of these little bastards.

"Get out of the way of you boys with the smell of mother's milk, and leave while the stake is still in my hands, if you don't want it to fall on your head!"

"Don't be so angry big Chopper, hiccup, don't forget that you came here like this, you also bit your mother at the beginning, this is something everyone knows, have you forgotten?"

The big man Chopper was furious: "Shut up, drunkard Heyman, drink your water, this time it's the best guy who added my warm urine, if this doesn't stop your mouth, maybe I should stuff this stake into your mouth, and then take a bottle to plug your ass, so you can't make a sound anymore." ”

In the middle of the conversation between the two adults, the scurrying children threw the mud in their hands onto Chopper's already dirty pants.

Big Chopper: ", you've done something so successful that I have to wash my pants, but you'd better run faster, or I'll grab each one of you and let you lick my pants clean with your mouth!"

The prank succeeded, and the children scattered and disappeared into every corner.

the drunk: "Hiccup, come on, my ears are almost choked by your lies, when will you make good on your promise, Hiccup, of course, if you take playing ball with those boys as a lesson, I don't think I said it." ”

Big Chopper: "Trust me Heyman, if you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll make good on the promise I just made to you right now." ”

Drunken: "That's really scary, it's as scary as turning over the quilt after taking a shower, and the woman who keeps seducing me is your grandmother, plus ...... Oh my God, I read that right, the big guy is coming over here. ”

Big Chopper: "Here I am, because I've decided to make good on my promise to seal your upper and lower holes tightly." ”

Drunken Hyman: "Damn, I'm not kidding you, keep your eyes open to see what it is." ”

Big Chopper: "Don't fucking get off the hook, pout your ass and make me ...... Hmmm, is this a carriage?"

stood up and drank the wine in one gulp, the empty bottle fell to the ground, overexcited and full of alcohol, his feet slipped and fell into the mud, but he did not forget to cheer.

Drunken: "Aha, you're right, it's a lovely carriage, I think they're tired from the long journey, what they need most at this time is a good wine that can heal the soul, good fellow, my tavern is in business!"

Big Chopper: "Please, Heyman, what else is in your tavern besides your empty bottles and a room full of cobwebs?"

Immersed in great happiness, ignored Chopper, and he staggered to his tavern, as if he could already see the scene of shiny silver coins jumping into his pocket, and the big man who remained in place shook his head helplessly, and could only pray that's delusion would come true.
