Mercenaries and Adventurers Chapter 355

Not long after entering the night, the wild environment in the dark was very lively.

There was a rustling sound in the bushes, and the blood-licking grass that Keir was holding suddenly turned its head to look over, its ears swaying, and its hooves stamped anxiously on the spot. The long horse's face bumped against Kil's shoulder, alerting its owner that there was movement over there.

"Don't be nervous! It's probably a rabbit or something."

Kil touched and licked the blood grass, but his horse was still a little nervous.

"Okay, okay, let me see what this is."

In order to appease the horse, Gere swung the torch in his right hand towards the bushes that made the noise.

Amidst the rustling sound, the bush swayed. He wanted to hide the things inside, but Kiel kicked it and broke the bush.

Boasting, a fist-sized hole was exposed under the overturned bush.

"Look, there's a hole for a rabbit or a mouse, and the little thing is hiding shyly!"

When Kir's torch was illuminated, the hidden hole hidden under the bushes was dark, and something seemed to be squeaking nervously inside.

Blood Licker's eyes widened, and he looked down with wide eyes, and then he screamed fiercely.

Before Kil could react, a black shadow emerged from the hole in front of him, and then there was a thump in his chest as something hit him.

The force was not small, and it came suddenly. Without paying attention, Kil was hit by this thing and fell down behind him.

"What the hell-"

Kil screamed strangely, but the thing hit the ground and kicked off its hind legs, and hit Kil again.

Seeing this time, the thing went straight towards Kil's head and face, and he had no time to react, but at this moment, a long horse's face wrapped in metal armor swung past Kil's eyes.

state!

Blood Licking Grass flicked its horse's head and knocked away the strange thing that attacked Keir.

"Hoo, ho, ho."

Only then did Kil come back to his senses and looked at the thing that was knocked away by the war horse. Only then did he realize that it was a gray-furred rabbit with a black and gray hard bulge on its forehead!

"What are you doing! The rabbit is riding on my head!"

Kil snorted in dissatisfaction and quickly got up. The impact just now did not hurt him, but his chest was a little painful.

As a result, the frightened strange rabbit didn't know whether he went crazy or was trying to defend his territory. He kicked off his legs, lowered his head, and collided with it like a flying hammer.

Boom!

The thing hit the front of Kiel's calf, making a loud impact.

This sound is completely produced by the collision of metal and metal.

"M..."

Kil groaned, his calves protected by the iron armor were still sore. He let go of the reins he was holding on with his left hand, grabbed hold of the rabbit, and caught the rabbit that was attacking him crazily.

This thing weighs a lot. It's obviously not big, but it's as heavy as two fat rabbits I've seen before. With Keir grabbing his neck, the rabbit kept twisting and turning, kicking its strong legs around.

Keir ignored the movement of the thing and stared at the rabbit's eyes. He found that the little thing had a pair of fierce and violent eyes. It seemed that no matter who it was, this little thing would dare to fight fiercely. .

But that didn't matter. Kil curiously looked at the piece of body tissue protruding from the center of the thing's forehead.

This rabbit has a gray-black bulging patch about the size of a walnut on its forehead, which looks like it is growing out of the rabbit's body. Knock it, and you can obviously make a metallic sound.

"Good guy, this should be considered a weak monster, right?"

Keir looked at the strange rabbit with a curious expression on his face, but he soon transferred his interest from the metal bulge on the rabbit's forehead to the rabbit itself.

"Since it is a monster, it must be a kind of monster. So, should I eat this rabbit? After all, as a knight in training, food that increases life energy is very much needed."

Grumbling, Kil broke the strange rabbit's neck, then put the heavy but small rabbit on his belt, and then checked the rabbit hole under the bush.

There was still noise inside, but no matter how hard Keel tried, he couldn't catch any other rabbits.

It seems that these rabbit monsters are not very stupid. The rabbit hunting skills learned from the Kendall hunters can no longer be used. As for other trap hunting methods, Kiel did not use them because of the delay in time.

"One is fine, try it first before talking."

Soon Kil took action and stopped walking. He found an open space beside a small river with withered vegetation and kicked a few big rocks to form a circle. Then Kil came to the nearby woods and used his over-the-counter method. Shuitou cut down a small tree and got some firewood, then came to the river.

The main trunks of the small trees were put together, and then the leaves and twigs of the small trees were brought to the center. Finally, some dry yellow grass was pulled nearby, wrapped together as fire starters, and placed in the middle.

The torch was finally extended to light the fire, and soon the whole fire was burning.

The strange rabbit was skinned with the extravagant Heart Fire Dagger by Keir, and then the rabbit's legs and neck were cut off. The internal organs in the stomach were not discarded, and the rabbit's legs were thrown directly into the fire together.

As for the rabbit head with a metal lump, Kil tried to remove it alone, but he couldn't succeed even though his gauntlets were bloody. This thing is grown together with the skull of a strange rabbit, and it is different from ordinary rabbits in other places. The skull of the strange rabbit on Kiel's hand is hard and strong, completely unlike rabbits in other places, which have thin and weak skulls. Can be broken easily.

While he was roasting the rabbit meat, he looked at the strange creek and felt that the rabbit was so strange. It must be related to the creek next to it.

After a while, Keel simply seasoned it with salt and roasted the strange rabbit.

Since rabbits don't have much fat, the rabbits that are baked in the end are dark, dry, and not attractive at all.

Keir looked a little hesitant, but finally sniffed the food he baked carefully, and found that it was not inedible, so he took a small bite.

It was hard and the rabbit meat was very tight. Fortunately, Keel's teeth were not covered, so he tore it apart and ate half of the rabbit leg in just a few strokes.

The rabbit meat, which smelled of salt and blood, chewed repeatedly in his mouth. It took a lot of effort for Kil to chew the rabbit meat into pieces and swallow it.

"It's not like you can't eat it."

Just not very tasty.

Keel won't admit that it's his poor cooking skills.

After eating a rabbit leg, Keir took the bone with a small amount of muscle in his hand and shook it, feeling something was wrong.

To be more precise, he took off the gauntlet on one hand and felt the weight of the rabbit's bones with his bare hands.

"Sure enough, something is wrong. Is this thing so heavy? It's like a metal bar." Thinking of this, Kil looked at the rabbit meat in his hand with a look of horror on his face: "Oh no! This rabbit meat doesn't also contain a lot of metal." Material, right? Will eating this cause metal poisoning?"

At the thought of being poisoned, Kil quickly threw the rabbit meat out of his hand. Without caring about anything else, he stuck his fingers into his throat to spit out the rabbit meat he had just eaten. But unfortunately, his digestion ability was very strong. No matter how he induced vomiting, the meat in his stomach disappeared.

Most of it was digested.

With a dejected look on his face, Keel went on the road again, and repeatedly warned himself not to eat strange things from unknown sources in the future.

The roast rabbit meat that was thrown on the ground next to the fire that was extinguished after Kiel set out on the road caused many ordinary beasts to fight for it that night.

But Keir didn't know this.

In the middle of the night, Kil changed to a new torch. At this time, he was repeatedly driving away the night owls flying over his head. These nocturnal birds that made no sound when they flew and screamed hoarsely seemed to be interested in them. He was very curious about the activities of humans in the middle of the night.

After all, even if people have come on the road to Huitou Forest in the past, most of those people would not have traveled all night. These nocturnal raptors, who go to work after dark, are probably seeing humans as creatures for the first time.

There were a lot of these guys, and they no longer caught food to fill their stomachs. They were squatting on the treetops around Kiel, turning their necks and looking at Kiel with wide eyes.

If Kil hadn't been so brave and not afraid of ordinary beasts and monsters, he would have been so frightened by the situation around him that he peed his pants.

You must know that Kiel was holding a torch at this time, and the eyes of the birds looking at him curiously reflected the firelight from the torch. Therefore, looking in the direction of Kiel, the surroundings were dark, regardless of In every direction, there were quite skilled suspended light spots staring at him.

The curious nocturnal birds not only stared at Kiel, but they also whispered and communicated with each other.

But to the ears of a human like Keir, the surroundings were filled with hoarse, unpleasant, and terrifying screams.

"Huh, if I hadn't known that it was a bird that couldn't hurt me, someone else would have fainted from fear."

Kil exhaled, looked back at the equally nervous Blood Licker, and patted the frightened horse to comfort it.

"Gah, little human, there is no need to be afraid! It's rare that you are lucky enough to meet so many family members who deserve my protection in the dark night! Ah! Come on, I know you still have some of mine left on hand. Wooden statues, hurry up! Put one on the spot, and I will let these helpless little wretches return under my dark wings and become my dependents and believers!"

At this time, the voice of the big bird **** rang in Kil's mind.

Kil could hear that the other party tried to maintain a arrogant and calm tone, but he could also easily feel the urgency of this god.

He smiled, ignored the noisy god's words, and continued to use the torch to drive away the birds of prey that approached him curiously, dragging the blood-licking grass upstream along the river.

It seemed that because there were so many nocturnal raptors around, some other animals were so frightened that they hid, not daring to make any movement or sound. So Kiel walked for a long time, and the meadows and woods along the river were filled with the only sounds made by these birds.

The howls of wolves and the strange calls of monkeys were all gone, and even the loud and irritable 'communication' of the insects was muted.

There were so many curious nocturnal raptors gathered around that no other animals dared to move for fear of being scratched on the head by the sudden appearance of sharp claws and losing their lives.

You must know that these birds make no sound at all when flying in the wild forest.

Not to mention mice and rabbits, not even wild wolves or groups of wild monkeys in the forest dare to provoke these guys, otherwise they will be scratched on the scalp and eyeballs by raptors that jump on their faces at any time at night. of.

The largest wingspan of these nocturnal raptors can be several meters. Old wolves and monkeys that are slightly thinner will be suddenly snatched away by these guys, taken to the sky and dropped to death.

"Rude human being! Quack, quack! Don't act like you didn't hear me! Help me, place a wooden sculpture of mine nearby. I am sure that they will join me."

Keir snorted: "But why should I do this?"

"Ga! Don't forget! Isn't the place you are looking for now the information I provided you? You immoral guy! Ga! You simply fell into the pool of profit and turned into a profit-driven person. Beast!"

The big bird **** cursed unceremoniously, and Kil made a roar. He reached out and touched his body, and said sarcastically: "I don't know when I changed from a human to a beast in your mouth, but I know that I have not grown up." He has the head of a bird and does not have a pair of pitch-black wings. And he pulls others into the eerie secret realm of consciousness without asking me for permission."

"Ignorant human, how majestic my face is! How useful and powerful my wings are. No need to refute, you and I have known each other for a long time. Didn't I expect that you wouldn't even agree to such a small request from me? Ga! Ga! Ga —”

Kil ignored the big bird god's crazy words. He lowered his head to avoid a nocturnal raptor that flew over his head, and then turned to look at the back of the Blood Licker, where ten people were squatting on the weapons rack. There was a small nocturnal raptor, and the blood-licking grass couldn't see its own back, so it didn't know that there were many of these guys it was afraid of on its back.

Fortunately, although these guys were squatting on the weapon racks, none of them moved. They not only grasped the things under their feet with their claws to keep their bodies stable, but also curiously looked at the blood-licking horses covered in horse armor. Grass, and Kil in full-coverage metal armor.

It seems that in their understanding, Blood Licker and Kil are a very new thing that they have never seen before.

curious.

In particular, Kiel showed no aggression, which made these nocturnal raptors, which have no natural predators in the wild, even more aggressive.

Kil looked at the large and small birds on the horse and shook his head helplessly. After shrugging, he whispered to the big bird god: "You said yourself that the situation there was not good before. , hum, the Church of the God of Hunting, they bullied you miserably, right?"

"No! Ga! No! Ga—"

The Big Bird God was stubborn and refused to admit it. Even though he had already missed something in what he said to Kil before, this ancient **** still refused to admit it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, I understand it myself. If these birds belong to you, wouldn't it harm them! And give the hunters of the church something new to hunt?"

The **** did not speak and became silent.

"So, let me tell you, you'd better not provoke those guys. Their strength and scale are no match for them. What are you going to do with these raptors that are active at night?"

The big bird **** stubbornly retorted: "This time, as long as they join in and under my command, they will definitely teach those trackers a painful lesson on a dark, moonless night! Believe me!" Ga! I will make them look good! Look, the sounds of these sturdy night owls around us are so terrifying. They don't make a single sound when they flap their wings. They are natural nocturnal assassins! Ga! The noble wings will surely conquer the enemy. Give the hunters severe punishment!"

Keir smiled bitterly and said: "These birds will definitely be sad if they know that you say that their voices are ugly and scary, but it is still an advantage."

"Gah! This is their powerful weapon! Cowardly people will be driven away by these hoarse cries of the remaining courage! Without courage, a victory will surely come, and it belongs to me!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Kil said helplessly: "That's the problem, ancient god, you only use these simple birds as weapons for your revenge, rather than a group of protectors who can prosper under your protection." .Don't blame me, even the earthworms and ground worms burrowing in the ground know that this is not a good road."

"You know I have fought against the hunters of the Church of the God of Hunting. They are not easy opponents to defeat. Even if these birds have the advantage at night, it is not enough. It is not enough. It is not enough for you to get a revenge. Victory. If you ask me, you should solve the problem of survival first. Solve the problem of survival first and ensure that you can persist in this era that is new to you. Then you can develop and grow and find ways to expand your power. As a god, This shouldn't be difficult, right?”

"Finally, when you have a lot of power in your hands, I think this is the time when you can talk about revenge. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I think this is the time when you can talk about revenge. After all, talking about revenge all day long is really It's a bit pricey.”

After Kil finished speaking, he waited for the big bird god's reply, but there was no reply for a long time.

The gods were silent.

I don't know if I listened to it, or I was too embarrassed to speak to him again.

But it didn't make any difference. At least tonight, this ancient guy didn't ask him to do anything again. The nocturnal raptors who were curiously observing him around him, whether it was because they had enough of observing him or for some other reason, finally flew away to fill their stomachs.

Their departure is also very interesting, and there is no sound of flapping wings at all.

Keir could only see the pairs of large reflective eyes watching him from the surrounding treetops, gradually disappearing quietly.

This is far from it. Those that are close, such as the nocturnal raptors squatting on the backs of blood-licking grass horses, are close enough that the light of the torches can shine on them, so Keir can notice these birds flapping their wings silently and jumping up. Silently, it spread its wings and glided into the surrounding dark night.

So cool.

Kil was very envious. His armor would make a constant sound of metal friction when he walked around.

Even though the noise of using the armor was specifically reduced when it was designed and manufactured in the Kendall City workshop, it was the first time that Kiel had designed a fully covered metal armor, so he definitely lacked experience.

Now after using it for a long time and accumulating a lot of experience, I asked Kiel to redesign the armor. Kil felt that the new armor must be much stronger than the current one.

Not only because of his experience, but more importantly, he now has a lot of money in his pocket.
