Chapter 18 Puppies
Unlike the hesitation and shake that had been shown before, this time, although these wild dogs did not move quickly, they did not hesitate or hesitate, and there was no intimidating gasp in their throats as before.
Tsk... This situation is really going to be true! Unlike the expulsion situation just now, this time it is probably going to be a big battle. Zhang Cheng looked behind him and could retreat. He believed that the target of the wild dog group was those rotten corpses and would not pursue him.
But... he actually didn't have much retreat.
If it is a game, at this time, let alone the two-way practices of magic and martial arts, even if you are part-time masters of war, magic and pastor, you can get at least two or three levels after completing the non-combat tasks in the camp. After all, you can gain considerable experience in each task. But in reality, completing those tasks does not require experience value, only killing monsters can obtain experience value. Therefore, the experience value of these battles becomes very precious.
If you have enough levels, those combat tasks will be given experience and equipment in the future. But if you don’t have enough levels, those tasks will be given death. Every experience cannot be wasted.
Zhang Cheng crossed the long spear in his hand, and a gust of wind blew, bringing a strong coolness.
"I get it," he looked at the skinny wild dogs. "It's getting cold, so there must be plenty of food to convert into fat, otherwise you can't survive the winter, right?"
Of course, the wild dog couldn't understand what he said, and continued to come here without hesitation. Zhang Cheng noticed that the largest wild dog was walking at the end. However, it looked a bit weird. After staring at it for a few seconds, he realized that it was a pregnant bitch. It was very large, and although it was not as big as the wolves in the morning, it was more than one circle larger than other wild dogs. In addition, her belly felt very large, and there were not many cubs inside.
It can be vaguely guessed by intuition that this pregnant female dog should be the leader of the wild dog group.
Are you fighting for survival and the next generation? Unlike the previous timid attitude, this is already a dying awareness and regarding it as a battle for survival. In order to survive and for the next generation, no matter what kind of enemy it is, these wild dogs are willing to fight to the death.
"I am really strong and brave..." Zhang Cheng looked at the group of wild dogs in front of him and murmured. "But I also want to live in this world, I want experience value!"
It is hard to say about the warrior profession, but the mage profession upgrade should be significantly enhanced. By the way, this is what Zhang Cheng originally thought. His physical attributes, part-time warriors are simply a waste of experience points. The main reason is to make the choice for the death warrior's special expertise that will not be sneak attacked or assassinated, and for the sake of stability and safety.
However, this number is too large... While the group of wild dogs is gradually approaching, Zhang Cheng is also slowly retreating, retreating to a huge rock standing in the wilderness. He stands with his back to the stone to avoid attacking his back, and then uses shield technology without hesitation. The magic energy condenses into a disc-shaped force field that is invisible but can be controlled by consciousness, blocking in front of him like a large shield.
The group of wild dogs was approaching. The three leading wild dogs rushed up in unison. Their size was too small to directly attack Zhang Cheng's neck and other key points, so the target they first aimed at was Zhang Cheng's lower limbs.
Chang Ge swept across and hit a wild dog's neck. The blow from his full strength cut its entire neck. Its body swayed, making a painful cry, and then fell to the ground. Moreover, Chang Ge's sharp blade had extra strength after cutting the neck. Zhang Xuan could use this remaining force to dance Chang Ge and hit the second wild dog. This time the hook pecked the stomach. Ge's sharp blade slashed, and the wild dog's abdomen was cut open, and all the internal organs were squeezed out from the wound. The dog could still take a few steps back, but he could only take a few steps back.
The third wild dog got this golden opportunity and bit Zhang Cheng's calf. Unfortunately, the invisible shield blocked the front, and the result was that its nose hit the tough invisible force field, and then it had to retreat due to the pain of its nose and made a whimpering painful sound.
The death of the two wild dogs did not affect the movement of the wild dogs. The other two wild dogs immediately filled this position. In fact, the wild dogs were extremely determined and brave this time. They had realized that ordinary methods may not be effective when facing humans waving their weapons.
In the "animal world" broadcast on the Earth, when canine predators besiege large prey or enemies, they usually do not use the strategy of rushing up, biting their throats or other key points, and killing them in one fell swoop. Instead, they are more willing to use the "gambling" tactic. They surround the target from all directions, one on the left rushes up and one bite back, and the one on the right rushes over and swings without seeking success but without any mistakes. They slowly exhaust the target's physical strength, and finally try to launch a real fatal offensive after the opponent is exhausted. The whole process is as short as dozens of minutes and can be several hours long. But this time, these wild dogs clearly know that there is a fundamental difference in the attack power of both sides - even if they bite, they cannot cause too much damage to the enemy, and if they are hit by the enemy's weapons, they will be seriously injured even if they are not killed.
In this case, the only way is to fight melee and fight with each other. Even if you are killed a few companions, you must be close to the distance between you entangled with each other.
For humans, which have two feet upright walking, the best way to fight in close combat is to hit rather than bite. If they can knock it over, the situation will be decided. However, because the wild dogs are small in size and lack strength, the wild dogs gather and come from the front. The only result of the long spear in Zhang Cheng's hand is to add a victim. Then they have to throw it away because the distance is too close.
Now, the wild dogs have already rushed over in crowded, and the invisible magic shield blocked a small part in front of them, but they cannot stop them all. Two or three wild dogs stood up with their front paws on Zhang Cheng's body. More of them pushed from behind to forward. A dog's power is not as strong as Zhang Cheng, but when three or five, or even seven or eight, the power is not something Zhang Cheng can resist. As long as he is knocked down by external forces... even he himself understands that it will be a lot of danger.
If he had five mage levels, then this scene would not have happened at all. You know, before the enemy rushed over, a fireball technique was enough to destroy at least half of the wild dogs. But he only had one mage level and had only one shield technique.
Fortunately, he has the last trump card. The colorful jet ring he got from the teaching level.
Zhang Cheng was squeezed and staggered back, and at the same time he aimed the ring in his hand at the group of wild dogs in front of him. He seized the opportunity and poked the inside of the ring with his thumbnail.
The gorgeous colorful light is excited by the ring and scattered forward from the fingers, forming a conical area. Almost all wild dogs are beaten up.
A wail broke out in the group of wild dogs. Some of the wild dogs were unconscious and fell to the ground helplessly. Some were obviously robbed of their eyesight by the sudden light. While wailing, they were spinning around in circles, as if they wanted to figure out what was going on. Even the biggest bitch was shocked by the sudden burst of light and stood there in a daze, turning and at a loss.
Zhang Zhike drew out his sword and slashed at the nearest wild dog beside him with one sword.
Hanguang's sword was quite sharp, and the long sword cut off the dog's head almost as easily as cutting tofu. Then, Zhang Chuang twisted his wrist and borrowed the remaining power of the sword to chop on the neck of another dog, cutting open blood vessels and trachea, cutting open bones and muscles, and letting half of the beast's neck leave the body.
It's strange that this kind of trick was indeed practiced during training, so he knew the skills and tricks. But he really didn't practice much. But at this moment, his body naturally used this technique. It was a little awkward at the beginning, but after cutting these unmovable targets, he became proficient after a few strokes.
This is a one-sided hunt, which fully proves that magic is the real power of this world. When Zhang Cheng pulled out his long sword from the neck of the big bitch, he looked back and found that the wild dog's corpse had already lying all over the floor.
All wild dogs were destroyed.
Zhang Cheng shook his head. They should not be close to the human settlement area. If this was not a wild dog, but a smaller animal, it would probably not matter. However, wild dogs are indeed capable of posing a threat to single people, especially the elderly and children. Therefore, humans will not allow them to get too close.
He called out the panel and looked at the experience that increased in his experience column. Finally, the mage's level was enough. He chose to upgrade almost without hesitation. First, he felt a slight dizziness, and then he clearly felt that his "capacity" had increased.
Now he can already have the second level 1 magic and has more tricks. As for his expertise, he chose "no medicinal herb casting" without hesitation. Without this expertise, he must carry a bunch of medicinal herbs to adapt to various spells.
Sure enough... this upgrade is also an incredible thing. He thought that his choice of "slaying with the flow" might be invalid, but now he calmed down and found that he really had this ability. It was particularly obvious when he killed the wild dog just now.
Suddenly he found something moving next to him. It turned out to be a big mouse that came out of nowhere. The rodent was obviously attracted by the smell of blood and feasted on the corpse of a wild dog, even ignoring Zhang Cheng next to him. So its fate came to an end - the long sword pierced the mouse's body from top to bottom.
Zhang Cheng looked at the panel and confirmed that the experience value was 1 more. He shook his head. When he wanted to leave, he found something moving next to the bitch's body. Based on the principle of "mosquito legs are also meat", he quietly took a few steps and then saw a chubby ball of stuff.
The thing was not a mouse, but a ball of soft flesh that had just crawled out of the bitch's belly. The whole body was sticky and soft. Its eyes were not open yet, and it was searching hard on its mother's belly. It quickly found it, so it put it in its mouth in one bite and began to suck it hard.
The bitch's belly looks big, but only one cub was born. This is not because the other cubs have no strength to get out of the mother's belly, but that there is only one. Not to mention anything else, just look at the huge size of the cub. This cub is much larger than a normal cub. This may be a breed problem. However, no matter how big the cub is, it is still a cub. It is soft and weak in limbs, like a ball of plasticine, and can't do anything except breastfeeding. Oh, it should be said that its umbilical cord is still connected to the placenta.
I don’t know if there is no milk in the **, or the little guy has a big appetite, so it quickly gave up the first ** and turned to the second one.
Looking at the little thing trembling and wriggling beside the mother's body, Zhang Cheng felt a little sad inexplicably.
"Little guy, it seems like I have killed all your relatives." He thought for a while and raised his sword. "Leave you one, you can't live alone in this world, right?"
If this sword continues, such a newborn cub will definitely die. But on the other hand, even if it stays, it will still die, and it will probably die even worse.
However, it is one thing to kill these wild dogs that show obvious hostility and threat. It is no problem to kill the big mouse that was not hostile but uncomfortable to look at, and it is another thing to kill such a soft and cute puppy. Although Zhang Cheng felt that he had been changed by this barbaric world, in the final analysis, the imprints left by modern civilization could not be completely cleared so quickly.
He cut off the puppy's umbilical cord with a sword and picked up the sticky puppy. The puppy didn't know that the one who held it was killing the murderer of the whole family. He just tried hard to search around, sniff carefully, searched for ** and sucked, and finally bit Zhang Cheng's finger. The little guy's teeth had not grown yet, so although he was sucking hard, it didn't hurt at all, but it was a little itchy.
For some reason, even though it was a finger, the puppy was very happy to lick it. It was not annoying to lick it all the way until Zhang Cheng returned to the refugee camp. He was still at the door, and he saw Mr. Huang who was a little anxious waiting for him to come back at the door.
"Young Master Zhang Cheng, you are..." He saw the puppy in Zhang Cheng's hand at a glance and knew the answer. "You shouldn't do these things that insult your identity."
What's the matter with asking a noble scholar to kill a few wild dogs? Alas, even the puppy was caught. Obviously, the group of wild dogs were even exposed to their nests, and it would no longer be a problem in the future.
"This puppy is pretty cute..."
"I think, there are dogs in the city..." Mr. Huang sighed. "There should be a bitch with milk..." He thought that although this puppy looked quite interesting, the breed of wild dogs was actually not good. It was too wild and difficult to raise, and it was not big enough. Mr. Huang was familiar with the surrounding situation and knew what kind of virtue the wild dogs in this place were. If they were really good-quality dogs, they would have become the target of hunting, and they would not be able to delay today.
But the dog just disappeared insignificantly, and more serious things are imminent.
