When people are desperate, they can often do something that breaks their own bottom line.
Just like what happened on the archaeological ship, talking about the people on the ship, some are scholars and professors who have experienced good education, and some are soldiers sent by the kingdom. Usually, the former are gentle and the latter are brave.
But an archaeological activity caused the lust, greed, and jealousy between them to explode completely.
Of course, this is due to the influence of the mysterious white wolf's strange power, but if these people can be honest with each other, they will not end up in an ending where they are almost wiped out.
However, when some people face difficulties, they break through their upper limit...
Renn lay on the ground panting, and after a long time he got up and walked to an animal that looked like a wild boar.
The beast's head was smashed to pieces, and it was still twitching slightly, but it looked like it was dead.
Seeing this, Ren heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground again.
His own condition was not very good. In the previous fight, the wild boar rushed towards him more than once. Although Renn tried his best to dodge, he was still unfortunately hit. This time he was killed.
My chest was burning and painful even when I breathed.
This is already the third day since Ren left Qianshui Village. The bread Bug gave him has long been eaten. If you look closely at him, you will find that he has more than a few injuries and his hands are dripping with blood. I don’t know if it is him.
The blood on his face was still that of the beast, and there were even a few scratches on his face, deep or shallow. Even if the wounds healed, scars would inevitably remain.
In the past, he would have complained that he was unlucky enough to be disfigured, but now he would be glad that his eyes were not blinded in that battle.
After his breathing became a little easier, Ren stood up again, raised his hands in front of his eyes and looked twice, then he smiled to himself:
"Am I stupid in wearing that armor? I'm obviously a very timid person."
A few days ago, while sitting at the end of Qianshui Village, Ren had a wrong thought.
There is food in the village, maybe you can steal some?
Maybe you can catch one of the livestock on the road outside?
But in the end, what he thought of was Buge's words. Of course, they were not those righteous and passionate things, such as "the awareness of being an adventurer", but "Maybe you will be eaten by a monster just ten miles out."
.
Qianshui Village happens to be relatively peaceful and there is nothing that needs help, so there must be other places, right?
It sounds simple, but for Renn, this is an extremely difficult decision.
In ordinary villages and towns, the villagers will definitely do the small things themselves, and will leave them to outsiders, especially adventurers. Those are definitely troublesome things, such as clearing away wild beasts and monsters.
With Ren's strength, it is not an easy task to deal with those things.
Besides, things may not be what he thought. What if he runs out but fails to find a job? What if he encounters danger on the road?
Rather than going out on an adventure, perhaps working in Qianshui Village was the best choice, but in the end he chose to go out and fight.
After these few days, he has gained some understanding of the wild environment. In a way, survival in the wild is difficult. There are all kinds of messy creatures everywhere that Ren can't name. To put it mildly, it's hard to survive in the wild.
The creatures are actually various beasts and monsters, and even some humanoid races, but they are all extremely low-intelligence and very savage and rude. Renn suspects that these things will be exterminated in the "Great Unification" stage of later generations.
Just imagine, even species like the ogres were educated in later generations and "reluctantly" integrated into modern society and were able to communicate with other races on a basic level. However, these races were wiped out. You can imagine how difficult it was for them to communicate.
If there is a chance, Ren would like to check the relevant biological information, if he can still go back.
But in a sense, survival in the wild is not that difficult.
A large number of monsters also means a large number of resources. Food is not as scarce as imagined, provided that you have the strength to obtain it. Just like Bug, he only went out on adventures when he was over sixty years old, and he has been outside for more than ten years. Bug himself
It was said that it was good luck, but Renn felt that the reason why he was able to survive until now was partly because, as a paladin of Kalsham, the old man might not be as weak as he appeared. The other partly was also related to the wild environment.
In the first two days, Ren only dared to "steal chickens", bully some small animals, or take some things from some monster camps.
But it's not completely without danger. That's how the wounds on his face were left.
Just today, he finally found a village called Dushan, and found a job here to help the villagers eliminate a beast that was raging around the village.
The one lying in front of him now looks similar to a wild boar, but is bigger and stronger than an ordinary wild boar.
According to the villagers, this wild boar often steals their crops, and ordinary villagers cannot defeat him. When there are more people, the wild boar only needs to be beaten twice and runs very fast, and it comes back within two days.
It's impossible for the people in the village to guard this thing every day, which is very troublesome.
So this job was naturally taken over by Ren.
In fact, the people in the village didn't trust him very much. The main reason was that when Ren first arrived in Dushan Village, he was in tatters. He didn't even have a weapon, let alone armor. There were wounds all over his face, and he didn't look very old.
, in short, there are two words written all over the body: unreliable.
But in the end, Lane accepted the commission and successfully completed it.
After cleaning up the scene and picking up his handmade stone hammer, Renn dragged the wild boar towards Dushan Village.
He was lucky. This beast actually made its nest under a slope near the village, covered by shrubs. It probably felt comfortable eating here. No wonder it kept coming to steal food every now and then.
So his whole body was sore and painful, but Ren dragged the wild boar back to Dushan Village. However, as soon as he came back, he lay down on the ground again and gasped for air in the surprised eyes of the villagers.
If this is an RPG game, then this mission of [Destroying Wild Boars] will provide him with the following rewards:
I don’t know what kind of coin it is x10
Two days of food
Flatbread made of unknown substance x8
Favorability of villagers in Dushan Village +20
Just as Ren was panting and thankful that he could survive the next few days safely, a slovenly man on crutches walked up to him:
"Sir Adventurer, me! Can I entrust you with something?"
