Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 16 Orochi

  Standing in front of the huge flame, David stood there quietly, and with the golden light on his body that hadn't dissipated, I think the current self was tall and handsome in Laura's eyes, right?

   Just when he was thinking about whether to condense some words or patterns with holy light behind him, he was patted on the shoulder: "Okay, stop posing, you are already handsome!"

   "..."

  Looking at Laura helplessly, the other party seemed to have seen nothing, and recovered the arrows that were still in good condition. As for the arrows that were stuck on the monster, they should be turned into coke together with the monster, and could not be recovered.

"Didn't you learn the Holy Light from Tirion? How can you release the flame?" Laura knew that David learned the way of the Holy Light from Tirion Fordring, but the Holy Light seemed to be a power similar to light Bar? Did David have other powers?

   "This is the holy fire."

"so…"

   "Holy fire is a skill that priests can master after they have cultivated Holy Light to a certain level."

  David simply explained a few sentences, this kind of holy fire is still a 'skill of the Holy Light', not that he has mastered any new ability.

  Although he didn't figure out whether the so-called holy fire is a flame full of holy light characteristics; or is it a holy light that looks like a flame? In some respects, there may be no difference between the two.

   "Oh!" Laura suddenly found that although she had searched for some information, she still didn't pay enough attention to the details. It seemed that she had to continue making up lessons when she went back: "This trick must be close enough to use it?"

  David was silent for a moment, and instead of answering Laura, he asked another question: "Don't you think this move is cool?"

   "..."

  Laura didn't answer, and David froze when he couldn't wait for an answer. In the end, the two of them skipped the topic tacitly.

   After a moment of silence, the two of them looked at the corpse that could no longer see its original appearance.

"Have you seen this kind of creature before?" Although it was only a short time of contact, the monster's size, the ferocity of attacking without communicating thoughts, and the defense power that seemed to be fine after being hit by several arrows made Lao Ra realized the danger of this monster.

"No." David shook his head, he knew what Laura wanted to ask: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of monster since I came here, and I'm very glad that this kind of monster hasn't rushed over the past two years Came out of the forest and attacked the village."

  If that situation really happened, it is absolutely impossible for him to stay until now—even if he is not killed or injured in the attack of the monster, he will leave here very simply and run back to Iron Tree Fort as fast as possible.

   After all, he was only a qualified rookie hunter at that time, and it was impossible to fight against this kind of monster.

  Thinking of this, he was extremely fortunate, and felt that his luck was very good.

  Because if he really ran back to Fort Iron Tree, he might not unlock his golden finger. After all, after seeing how dangerous it is to be a pioneer, there is a high probability that he will honestly research other ways out, such as tinkering with some weird things to make more money, and become a rich man in a relatively lively big city?

  In that case, he will miss all this now.

   "It's dangerous!"

Laura thought that David was saying that he had been a neighbor of this kind of monster for more than two years without knowing it, so she echoed: "Yeah, I just don't know how many monsters like this are in the forest. many?"

   "Continue to look around?" David is also worried about this. If there is only one end, it is fine, but if they live in a group, the danger will rise a few more steps.

   "Of course." Laura is not a timid character, since they have all come to the forest to investigate the situation, should they run away when they encounter some danger? In that case, she should return to her own world to live. After all, the Crawford family's manor will not be attacked by such monsters: "But next, use some more powerful weapons."

  Laura has put the bow and arrow behind her back, replaced by a shotgun.

  David held the furious hunter pistol that was originally inserted in his waist. This kind of hunting pistol is most suitable for dealing with large creatures.

Seeing that David was only holding a pistol, Laura carefully observed the surrounding situation and offered her own suggestion to David: "If your world is full of such huge monsters, I think you should prepare more firepower to be more effective." A strong weapon will do."

"If possible, I would like to bring a heavy artillery with me." Of course, the more heavy firepower, the better. If possible, he would like to open several arsenals in Lindong Village. The banner on the gate of each factory reads: The more the better!

   "Haha, it seems that you are almost finished reading the book I brought."

   "Of course, I am very hardworking."

David is not fooling Laura. He reads the books Laura brings every night. In addition to better perfecting his personality, it is also because there are not many things he can do at night and reading books can make him better. Enter dreamland and other factors.

"What kind of things do you want to read next?" Except that Laura chose some historical books on her own at first, David expressed his interest in the "evolution of weapons" and "the history of a certain war". Interested in the details', Laura went back to find the corresponding information books and brought them to David.

   "Next time you come here, you can bring me some history books from Eastern countries."

   "East? I wrote it down."

   "If possible, bring some introductory language textbooks over there."

   "Are you going to read the original document?" Laura reacted quickly, and immediately understood David's intention for these things.

   "Yes, in this way we can understand some content more accurately."

   "That's true." Laura herself is proficient in multiple languages ​​in order to study various relics and ancient civilizations. She agrees with David's words: "In this case, I may need to spend some time."

   "It's okay, I'm in no hurry."

   Two people walked through the forest while chatting.

  Because they were more cautious, they had to leave marks along the way to avoid losing their way, so the speed of the two of them was not moving fast. When the sky gradually dimmed, the two of them finally stopped.

   Not ready to return, but they found a simple village.

  The same monsters as the ones I saw before, and even a few bigger monsters, live here.

  Looking at the rough houses or sheds made of trees and stones, David and Laura realized that these monsters possessed a certain amount of intelligence, but their lifestyles were relatively primitive, and their intelligence seemed to be low.

   "Look there."

  David was still counting how many monsters there were, and when he counted eleven, Laura poked him lightly a few times, reminding him to look over there.

  Looking at Laura's fingers, David realized why Laura made him pay attention to that side: "It's the altar..."

Compared with the one I saw before, this altar was seriously damaged, and only a small piece of the stone platform was left. If the stone tablet was not conspicuous enough, it would be impossible to tell that this was the kind of altar I had seen before .

   "There are sacrifices on it."

"Um!"

  David didn't ignore the huge corpse in front of the stele—it was a huge wolf with a snow-white fur.

  In addition to this giant wolf with an astonishing size, he also saw several wolf corpses in the middle of the 'village'. It seems that these monsters wiped out a pack of wolves, and the giant wolf is most likely to be a wolf.

   "It seems that these monsters helped you get rid of a problem." Laura and David came here to find the wolves and destroy them, only to find that their work had been done for them.

   "I'd rather deal with the pack of wolves myself." David grinned. Although the pack of wolves is gone, there is now even greater trouble: "These giants are much more troublesome than the pack of wolves."

  At the same time, David has a bad impression of this kind of monster. After all, the two sides want to attack him and Laura as soon as they meet.

   "What's next?"

   "Get out of here first."

  David didn't think about what to do in this place. He and Laura were on the edge of the other side's village. Once they were discovered by the other side, these monsters swarmed up and launched a siege. Even if he had the protection of the Holy Light, it would be a huge trouble.

  Of course, he can send a signal flare to Fording for help, but no matter how fast Fording is, it will take time to catch up. After all, Fording is only a paladin, not a mage who can teleport, and any accident may happen during his rush.

   To be on the safe side, leave first, whether you want to try to communicate with these neighbors and then coexist peacefully; or use force to destroy each other. They all need to be carried out under conditions of absolute safety—in other words, even if you have to do it, you have to go back and call Fording, and come back after being fully armed and armed with enough firepower.

  Laura guessed what David was thinking, nodded in agreement, and retreated carefully with David to ensure that the two were out of the sight of those monsters, and then returned according to the original route.

  The two who successfully returned to the mine cave let out a sigh of relief. There was no danger before coming to the mine cave, and there would be no danger on the next road.

  However, unsurprisingly, an accident happened!

  Accompanied by a deafening roar, a monster bigger than the monster David killed before appeared in front of the two of them, and charged straight at them!

  “┗|｀O′|┛嗤~~”

  Accompanied by a deafening roar, a strange red light flickered on the troll's body, and the troll emitting scarlet light completely ignored the blood that kept blooming on his body, and rushed towards Laura firmly.

After releasing the shield of light, David found that the troll was rushing towards Laura, and shot the monster in the face to force the monster to slow down and move. When the violent hunter in his hand poured out six bullets, it just blocked Laura. .

   Putting away the furious hunter, David's hand was once again entwined with the raging holy fire, and the super-killing skill against giant monsters that he had just developed not long ago appeared for the second time: "Look at the move, Li Baiba style: big snake scorpion!"

   Laura: (｀Д)!!
