The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 5: Picked up a clay monkey

Views:

The pale moonlight slowly poured through the woods onto the grass. The originally green forest was coated with a layer of light silver under the moonlight, making everything look like a dream. Regnar fell from the air to the grass, looked at everything in front of him in shock, and then tried his best to recall what had just happened.

Regnar remembered clearly that a few seconds ago he was in the prison courtyard of Luolmi Town, facing the second officer's soul-hunting arrows. But just when he was forced into the corner and was at his most desperate, Regnar suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and fatigue came over him like a tide, almost making him fall asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in this forest. .

There were no gaps or interruptions in his memory, and Regner could also feel that the scene in the courtyard had happened a few seconds ago—his heart was still pounding at this moment. But just a few seconds later, he was already in an unknown forest.

"Is there a teleportation technique? Is there a mage helping me?" Regnar secretly guessed that within the scope of his knowledge, only the teleportation technique of a mage has such incredible mobility.

"No matter what the reason, he always saved my life." Regnar thought, so he slowly stood up and said according to the routine he learned from the knight stories he heard: "Thank you for saving me, sir. If it’s convenient, please show up and see me.”

Regnar did not dare to speak too loudly because he was afraid that this place was not far from Luolmi Town, and if he shouted a few words at the top of his lungs, who knows if the mage captain would find him through some spell.

Regnar waited for a long time but no one responded. Instead, a squirrel on the big tree next to him threw two pine nuts at him, as if to protest against Regnar for disturbing the people in the middle of the night. Regnar scratched his head and didn't care. He just raised his voice and continued: "Since you are unwilling to show up, can I know your name so that I can be grateful in the future?"

The squirrel dropped a few more dried fruits, only this time they were bigger acorns. Regnar glared upward angrily. Seeing that no one had answered yet, he could only continue unnaturally: "Since you don't want to say more, in any case, thank you for saving my life."

Regnar suddenly felt that something thick fell on his head. He stretched out his hand to touch it and found that it was a pile of bird droppings. On the tree trunk, a nightingale was chirping, as if saying, "This is Why are you idiot talking to yourself here?"

"@#%¥!&" Regnar cursed angrily.

"Kordak, wait, I want to drink water." An extremely tall and fiery woman shouted.

"Come and get it yourself, I'm tired!" the man named Kordak replied angrily.

"Tch, why don't you just help me get something?" the woman muttered.

"That's right." Kordak patted the big backpack on his chest: "Anyway, this bag only weighs more than 150 kilograms."

"What's the fuss about a seventh-level soldier carrying more than a hundred pounds? Look at you like that, and you're still sweating profusely." The woman laughed.

"The problem is that I'm not only carrying your things." Kordak patted the big backpack on his back again: "Your backpack, my backpack, and then add armor, weapons, etc., I'm almost five It’s heavy!”

"So what? It's just a workout."

"But Vera." Kordak raised his hand with difficulty: "Look, I can't even draw my sword like this. What should I do if I'm in danger?"

"I've walked this road so many times, what danger can there be? Besides, there are Silenos and I!" Vera didn't care, but at this moment, a sharp roar came from not far away. .

"Look, look, what can I say?" Kordak quickly took off his backpack and returned it to Vera.

"Aren't they just a few Shadow Dragons?" Vera reluctantly took the backpack, but she looked a little excited. After all, the Shadow Dragons were not a threat to them, but the skins of these small monsters could be sold. Good price.

"How about cleaning it up?" Kordak pulled out his two-handed sword.

"Of course, why don't you get a few free gold coins?" Vera also took out her bow and arrows. Silenos, who had been silent next to him, also nodded.

Kordak grinned: "Well, it's still the same as before, just follow me!"

Regnar narrowly dodged the cranial and brain-shattering blow, but failed to guard against the claw on the left side, and three more claw marks suddenly appeared on his body. He took advantage of the situation and rolled out of the encirclement, but there was a sense of despair in his heart.

He has been walking in this forest for three days, but he still has not left this forest. For three days, he relied on lake water to quench his thirst and found a few raw fruits to satisfy his hunger. Although he had killed many beasts that dared to attack him with his fifth-level fighting spirit, the forest was too big. Without a guide, Regner could only wander around in silence, but he ended up here. The forest went deeper and deeper, and finally came to the depths of the forest where monsters were active.

The so-called Warcraft can actually be regarded as powerful and dangerous beasts, but advanced Warcraft will have intelligence comparable to humans, and some Warcraft can even use magic. The Swift Shadow Dragon that Regnar encountered now was undoubtedly the lowest form of Warcraft. They had the same intelligence as beasts, but were stronger, faster, and had stronger skin. Although a single Swift Shadow Dragon is not even as threatening as a black bear, these dexterous and ferocious large lizards have a troublesome habit, that is, living in groups.

Under the siege of more than a dozen Shadow Swift Dragons, Regnar quickly seemed unable to withstand the attack. He suffered three or four wounds just ten seconds after being attacked. Although these three days of wandering adventures made Regnar tougher, he still despaired when faced with this situation.

"It seems like this is the end of my life." Regnar thought helplessly, "It's a pity that I still didn't find you in the end..."

Just when he completely gave up on closing his eyes and waiting to die, a powerful arrow flew over. But this time the target was not Regnar, but the Shadow Dragon that was closest to him.

"Vera, please protect that kid. I rushed over to make a U-turn and Silenos covered me." Kordak turned his head and gave instructions, and then launched a charge towards the dragon group.

Similar to most social creatures, the most powerful male of the Swift Shadow Dragon will become the leader of the entire group, and will be responsible for directing the life and hunting of the entire group. If the head dragon dies, the group of dragons will naturally be in chaos, and it will be much easier to clean up a ragtag group of people. Kordak obviously knew the habits of the Swift Shadow Dragon very well. He rushed to the side of the strong Swift Shadow Dragon that was always away from the battlefield at an astonishing speed. He raised his sword and chopped off the head of the dragon.

The flying blood splashed on Kordak's face, making his expression look ferocious. With the death of the head dragon, the entire group of dragons lost their command, and several of the Swift Shadow Dragons that besieged Regna howled miserably and rushed towards Kordak.

"Hahahaha, I can finally stretch my muscles!" Kordak laughed wildly, and then the strong fighting spirit suddenly burst out, suffocating the figure of the Swift Shadow Dragon that rushed towards him. Then Kordak raised his sword and slashed across, and the fighting spirit of the blade instantly cut off the necks of three more Shadow Dragons. At the same time, the two Swift Shadow Dragons behind him were killed by Silenos with precise accuracy, and Kordak did not look back at all.

"Be careful! If the leather is torn and cannot be sold for a good price, I will ask you for it!" Vera yelled, and then she opened her bow and shot an arrow through the head of a Swift Shadow Dragon that tried to attack Regna.

With the strength of Kordak's three-person team, if fully equipped, they can eat a colony of more than thirty large Swift Shadow Dragons at the cost of minor injuries. At this moment, there were only twelve Shadow Dragons on the field, and the head dragon had been killed by Kordak, so the whole battle seemed quite easy. In less than two minutes, all the Swift Shadow Dragons turned into corpses.

Regnar watched the trio that suddenly appeared and destroyed all the Shadow Dragons with lightning speed. Although he didn't know their purpose, they seemed to have no malicious intent, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Good luck this time." Regnar thought. He grinned at Kordak who was walking towards him, and then the pain of the tearing wound was transmitted to his brain, coupled with the joy of surviving the disaster and The intense hunger finally made his vision go dark and he fainted on the ground.

"Is this kid dead? Why was he grinning at me before he died?" Kordak walked up and kicked Regnar in the head.

"Open your eyes and tell lies." Vera rolled her eyes at him.

"What should we do now? Take him with us?" Kordak asked.

Vera looked at Regnar, whose childish face was covered with dirt and blood. She sighed and said, "He's still a child. Take him with you. I can't leave him here to die." Not even."

Kordak looked at Silenus again, and Silenus nodded and said, "I have no objection."

"Well, let's treat his wounds here first, and then set up camp here until he wakes up tomorrow. But let me declare first, if he can't walk tomorrow, Vera, you have to carry him on your back." Ke Erdak made a decision.

Vera raised her eyebrows: "Why me?"

"Because you said you wanted to take him with you."

"Uh... I suddenly feel that it's okay not to take him with me."

"Okay, let's go."

"Oh~~Brother Kordak! Look how pitiful he is at being so young and suffering such serious injuries. Just take him with you~~"

"Then you carry him!"

"A weak woman can't carry it~~"

"I don't care anyway!"

"Brother, just show your kindness and give him a hug~~"

"in spite of!"

"Do you care?"

"I, Kordak, want to tell the truth. When have I ever regretted it? If I say I don't care, I won't care!"

"Damn it! Kordak! Don't touch your face, kid. You know what will happen if you piss me off!"

"Hey, look, you could have just said no to me. I'm a reasonable person." Kordak replied angrily. He turned to look at Regna, who was covered in black with mud, and murmured. He said to himself: "That's good, I picked up a mud monkey."

Silenos, who had been silent next to him, had already begun to deal with Regnar's wounds quietly.
