Eternal Battlefield—The Mystery of the Giant Runes Chapter 44: The Kingdom of the Giant Gods
There seemed to be nothing to feed him. Karin was thinking about something and stretched out his hand to tease the dog.
The dog turned over and exposed its soft belly for Carlin, who was squatting down, to stroke it. This was the highest form of animal trust. This female dog had never let those bachelors pass the hair on her belly.
Feeling that he was almost done, Karin rubbed Gouzi's head, stood up, and planned to go to the pub to take a rest. [Occasionally, you have to combine work and rest]
"Hey, Karin, come and have a taste. It's a rare day to have a drink?" A skewer of meat was handed over.
"Thank you." Carlin reached out and took it and took a bite. The slightly bitter taste of the coarse salt covered up the light fishy smell of the meat itself. Although it was not unpalatable, it was definitely not delicious. After all, this was not
Meals provided by restaurants and hotels.
Then chat with the rough guys: "It's really time to take a break. Is there anything new recently?"
"What's new in this shitty place? Every time you set a new record, it's the freshest thing." Two of the explorers laughed crudely.
"Why are you working so hard every day to transfer money to build that useless thing? Oh yes, call me a gun. You can hunt flying dragons alone without that thing."
At this time, the small cabin with a basement in the corner of the camp exploded - every time something was sent from the association, there was a half chance of it exploding, and it had to be rebuilt every time.
The explorer who was in charge of chores today stood up and walked towards the corner where the lumber was piled.
Several other explorers stretched their necks and looked at the registrar who opened up the wooden bars and got into the cellar under the ruins. They didn't know whose "order" had arrived.
"What are the things here? They always explode. If it wasn't out of control, I would be quite interested." Carlin also joined in the fun.
When the registrar came out, he was holding a long box with handles made of mithril, and looked ugly. "Karin, your gun is really heavy."
"Hey, here it comes." Karin quickly ran to pick it up to see if he was affected.
Seeing someone coming, the registrar put the box on the ground with both hands and unlocked the secret lock. Then he patted the dust on his head and waited to collect the box.
"Let me take a look." Carlin opened the box to check it. Inside the box was a super long combination machine with a total length of three feet and five inches.
This strange weapon can be disassembled into two pistols and an ultra-long-range rifle loaded with dragon's breath function, or it can be assembled into a long box-shaped shoulder-mounted gun with a medium-range strike range loaded with explosive function.
The silver-white gun body has no decorative embellishments, and the trigger, loaded bullet parts, and the auxiliary grip of the gun body are all black.
"Huh, there's nothing wrong with my stuff. How's the condition of the other stuff that was delivered?" Karin asked.
"This weird weapon of yours usually comes in a big iron box. It's really weird. Your box takes up the full load of the space teleportation array?"
"Janus, hurry up and fix it. There will be another teleportation tomorrow. It will be the spice for next month. If I lose you for a week, you can go out to eat by yourself." An explorer from behind started to make noises.
"Maybe it's because of the special material and structure of this guy." Carlin smiled awkwardly.
With the strength of a high-level explorer, it would not take him more than an hour to build a house, but he would need to be good at carpentry. If a house that can withstand wind and rain is blown to pieces, people might be injured.
Carlin has not been responsible for things here. After all, repairing the hut is also a commission. In short, it’s fine that it didn’t cause any big damage. Tutu continued to fish and rest, chatting with other people.
After some eating, drinking and playing, the dogs returned to their dens and everyone fell asleep. Although it was pleasant to get along with the explorers in this camp, there was no need for Carlin to stay here.
The conventional path to becoming stronger has basically come to an end, and the weapons customized by the association are currently making up for the weaknesses in the attack methods.
The previous goal had been accomplished, and after a short rest, it was time for a new journey. However, Carlin had not chosen a new destination yet. He began to think about the special places that his old friends had mentioned.
Next, if you want to challenge yourself and go into a life-threatening battle deep in the forest, you will have the opportunity to touch the edge of the legend, but without companions, this may be quite dangerous.
It is said that there are legendary monsters deep in the forest, but this information is said to be given to explorers by the association and should be quite valuable.
With the decision made, Kalin immediately started the final modifications, cherishing any buffer time. He planned to set off to the depths of the forest early the next morning. This might also be the last time to have a peaceful sleep. There would be no chance if he got into the depths of the forest.
Slept well.
Normally I have to put on a show just to be on guard, so just sleep normally tonight.
When Carlin woke up, he felt that he had had a terrible dream, but he couldn't remember what it was and he still had a headache.
I am used to meditating as a way to rest, but it feels very different to take a nap and dream once in a while.
Breakfast is already being made, some are busy, others are idle, and some are playing games with dogs with bones.
Although this sleep seemed to be heavier than usual, Karin did not get a good rest, but it was not a big problem. He got up and moved around and packed his things, planning to set off after breakfast.
"Good morning, everyone." Karin simply washed up and prepared to wait for breakfast with the others.
Take a bite of the apple roll and your mouth will be full of sweetness. If you like fried food, you can also go through the oil. After saying hello and enjoying the meal, everyone went to do what they were supposed to do. Except for those who had to stay behind, everyone else set off to do their own things.
Or a new commission.
Before leaving, Kalin planned to find a man who stayed behind and was well-informed (actually, he often participated in chats) to confirm with him about the legendary monster.
After looking at it, most of the people who stayed behind were those who stayed behind often. They probably had never been to the depths of the forest, so it was impossible to know whether there were really legendary monsters in the depths of the forest. However, the information on some nearby cities was definitely better than
Carlin is well informed.
The few adventurers who usually like to dive deep have either gone out or haven't come back yet, so they can wait.
Those who have gone out, according to their activity habits, have been out for several days, maybe today or tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Carlin decided to wait a little. The matter was too important to be neglected.
Although it is a remote camp, there is a certain amount of stock of common medicines here. There are also several contracts, each with a few. The rest are magic oils and the like. Maybe it will be good to use up the contribution.
There are beast-summoning contracts that can be summoned from a distance, blood contracts with extremely close connections, and slavery contracts. Karin thought about it and chose a basic contract without space effects. He was interested in the telepathic effect.
.
Then, he got some more dry food such as dried meat and water, and waited for the old friends who were out hunting to come back.
Sitting by the fence and waiting boredly for the return of one of the several explorers, as usual every day, the dog ran out of the camp to have some fun.
While Karin was waiting, he let go of his ears during the break for the first time in a long time and enjoyed the beautiful music of nature.
Soon, the dog disappeared out of Carlin's hearing, heading into the depths, which had never happened before.
"She seems to be in good spirits today, she ran so far." Karin followed the dog in the direction he left, trying to see if he could catch up with her again.
However, the dog ran very fast and still had time to urinate under the tree to mark it. Strangely, there were some terrains along the way that had no paw prints from the dog's paws.
After almost 5 minutes, Carlin, who was using full speed, found the dog peeing under a big tree. The dog who saw Carlin let out a "woof", seemed to be frightened, and then disappeared in an instant.
.
Karin didn't expect that this mixed-breed dog could move in space. It seemed that its mother or father should be a very advanced magical beast.
I recalled whether the people in the camp had said anything about where the dog came from. But I didn’t think of anyone saying anything about the dog’s origin. At this time, the hearing aid released captured the sound of the dog running, which was already 200 meters away.
Out of bounds.
Karin decided to keep following until she heard something different or stopped. She tried to avoid dead branches and leaves along the way and kept silent.
Although it was impossible to move at high speed without making any noise, Kalin tried his best to reduce the sound to a level that ordinary people could not hear thirty meters away.
Slowing down and keeping the same pace, Karin ran with the dog for a long time and felt very tired.
As the scenery continued to repeat, Carlin followed the dog, moving deeper and deeper in almost one direction in a zigzag pattern. There were fewer and fewer birds and beasts. Instead, traces of predators could be seen or heard.
The sound wave formed by a huge ape roar destroyed a large number of trees, and the countless accompanying sounds almost caused Karin to suffer a lot.
In the hell of noise, Carlin still heard the dog barking excitedly and continuing to move.
[Ah? So we know each other? They are all of different races.] Carlin couldn’t care too much and continued to follow the dog’s traces to explore.
The sound of fighting and the roar of angry apes kept coming from the front. The closer to the source of the sound, the harder it became to distinguish the dog's position, but when Carlin followed him, he also saw a shocking scene.
A giant white wolf and a pack of no less than a hundred white wolves larger than ordinary humans are fighting a black giant ape.
The wolves have the upper hand in numbers against one another, but the aftermath of the giant ape's attack can seriously injure or directly kill multiple white wolves.
These white wolves can release spell-like abilities of the evocation system, which are no different from the attacks of mages. The giant wolves fight with the giant apes with agility that is inconsistent with their huge bodies.
Judging from the current situation, if the giant ape had no backup plan, the wolves would have to pay half or even two-thirds of the group members to kill the giant ape.
