Chapter 14: Mission Commission

Following the death of the scarecrow Tike and the sky full of crows, the familiar 'ding' sound appeared in Xie Yaoyao's mind again.

"Ding! Congratulations to Traveler Xie Yaoyao for successfully advancing to the Second Tier; currently, you can equip two entries!"

Xie Yaoyao quickly equipped the axe Wang Xiong had just dropped and his entry 【Axe Mastery】.

A sense of inexplicable familiarity surged into his heart; the heavy axe flipped and flew in his hand, as flexible as his own fingers.

Xie Yaoyao revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth; this was a timely improvement in combat power!

Looking at the battle between Meng Xi and Feide, or rather, a wolf and a monster, which was entering a white-hot stage.

At this time, Meng Xi was covered in blood, and the scarecrow Feide opposite was also seriously injured, with half of its body already gone.

The crow rain here naturally attracted the attention of the two.

Feide saw Tike was killed, felt panicked in its heart, and wanted to run away, but unfortunately, its body was too seriously damaged; if it weren't for the sickle in its hand, it would have been torn to pieces by the werewolf before its eyes long ago.

And Meng Xi also looked over; he was stunned at first, then noticed the bright blue entry 【Intermediate Toxin】 on Xie Yaoyao's head, as well as the 【Axe Mastery】 he had just equipped.

"Bad, this guy is like me, a guy who pretends to be a pig to eat the tiger!"

Wang Xiong, that idiot, was killed; if so, I'm in a pincer attack situation.

Since that's the case...

Meng Xi felt ruthless in his heart; his sharp wolf claws scratched fiercely on his chest, and blood appeared instantly.

And the werewolf's fierce beast pupils also instantly dyed a layer of blood color.

In the unbelievable gaze of Xie Yaoyao and the scarecrow Feide, Meng Xi's speed soared, and he bit fiercely on Feide's head with his fierce wolf teeth.

"Crack!"

Although Feide also tried his best to stab the sickle in his hand fiercely into the werewolf's waist, he still couldn't save his own fate of death.

He has to run!

Xie Yaoyao immediately reacted.

His toxin attack had great lethality against creatures with flesh, and now that he had a sharp blade in his hand, the desire to kill naturally arose.

Xie Yaoyao's eyes condensed, and he rushed toward the werewolf quickly.

Meng Xi clearly wouldn't fight an unfamiliar enemy in a seriously injured state; he roared at Xie Yaoyao, then turned around and ran.

Looking at the speed of the person running away, Xie Yaoyao knew he definitely couldn't catch up.

Just when Xie Yaoyao thought he could only watch helplessly as Meng Xi took away the three white entries dropped by the scarecrow Feide.

"Bang!"

Countless lead bullets with whistling wind pierced fiercely into the werewolf's neck.

The powerful kinetic energy drove the werewolf's huge body to fall toward the farmland on the side.

There's a change!

It's the hunter in the village.

The gunpowder smoke diffusing from the muzzle also confirmed Xie Yaoyao's guess.

And the werewolf's vitality was truly tenacious; even in a seriously injured state, it didn't die after taking such a shot, struggling to get up and run away.

Xie Yaoyao thought of what the scarecrow Tike said before he died and decided to take a gamble.

With a movement in his heart, the bright axe blade instantly dyed a layer of abnormal blue.

"Hit!"

At this moment, Xie Yaoyao transformed into a member of the Axe Gang.

Drawing a beautiful arc in the air, the axe spun and slashed fiercely on the wound on the werewolf's neck.

Blood splashed again.

In a miserable wolf howl, the werewolf's body turned into flying ash and dissipated, leaving only two white entries on the spot.

【Bloodthirsty】, 【Sharp Fangs and Claws】.

Eh!

Sure enough, that red bloodline entry didn't drop!

And the entries dropped by the scarecrow Feide didn't drop either.

It seems killing people only drops entries that have already been equipped.

However, this is not the time to consider entries; Xie Yaoyao didn't forget that there was still a hunter with a gun not far away.

Feeling Xie Yaoyao's gaze, the hunter also turned his head to look over.

Fortunately, the hunter didn't bring him a shot, but instead nodded friendly toward Xie Yaoyao.

This made Xie Yaoyao, who was already used to the other party's cold face, feel flattered.

However, this also confirmed some of Xie Yaoyao's thoughts in his heart.

Picking up the axe and the two white entries, Xie Yaoyao walked to the hunter's side.

"Follow me!"

Xie Yaoyao was just about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by the hunter before him, so he had to honestly follow.

The hunter was clearly not the talkative type, only caring about hurrying on his way.

Fortunately, he didn't have a cold face like when they first met.

Soon, the two entered the village and, under the hunter's lead, walked to a small courtyard at the west end of the village.

Piles of wood were neatly stacked in the courtyard, letting Xie Yaoyao know that the owner of the courtyard was a woodcutter.

He figured that Wang Xiong was the one who received the wood-cutting mission here.

At this time, a medicinal smell was drifting out of the small hut in the courtyard, and the hunter didn't hesitate to take Xie Yaoyao in.

The hut wasn't large, and the light wasn't good.

But Xie Yaoyao still saw clearly that there were two people in the room, one of whom was exactly the pharmacist old woman who lent him a place to stay.

And the other was the owner of the hut, the woodcutter.

The gauze on the woodcutter's shoulder seeping with blood told Xie Yaoyao the origin of the medicinal smell he had just smelled.

Seeing the two enter the room, the pharmacist first looked at Xie Yaoyao, then took the lead in speaking.

"Owen, is the beast that hurt Miller really related to these outsiders?"

Hearing the pharmacist's words, the woodcutter Miller, who was originally looking at Xie Yaoyao honestly, suddenly changed his face, staring fiercely at Xie Yaoyao, as if he were the person who hurt him.

"That beast indeed came from outside, but it has nothing to do with this little guy."

Hunter Owen glanced at the woodcutter Miller, who had a fierce face, and continued.

"In fact, it was this little guy who avenged you, Miller."

"Eh?!"

Owen's words caught Miller off guard; the fierce face didn't have time to be put away, so he was busy showing friendliness.

Plus, it seemed to have affected the wound, which made his ugly face look a bit funny.

After failing to try again, Miller simply gave up showing his gentle and friendly side and frankly thanked Xie Yaoyao.

"Thank you, traveling traveler! Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I believe you didn't let that beast have a good ending, right?"

Xie Yaoyao tilted his head and thought about it.

The scene of Meng Xi's death didn't seem to be too comfortable.

So he nodded firmly.

"Of course, I don't think he would want to experience it a second time."

Miller laughed loudly upon hearing this.

It was just that the wound on his shoulder made his laughter heroic for less than a second before it stopped abruptly.

Owen's words made the pharmacist, who was also full of hostility, look much better.

"Owen, have you decided?"

"Of course, Cathleen, Her Highness is already 12 years old; that dirty madwoman won't let her go again; this is our last chance."

Pharmacist Cathleen showed a sad expression upon hearing Owen's words, then her face became firm.

"Then, what is your plan?" ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
