Chapter 44 The King of Strange Faces
In the dense forest of Metabe in the afternoon, the miserable howls of mushroom pigs and the screams of girls come and go.
The two people and one cat "watching the battle" looked at each other in confusion.
Hayata, who had absolutely no experience in "killing something", was still unable to find the vital point of the mushroom pig and was unable to give the poor pig a happy ending. The scene became very **** at one point.
“Ah, how about I help her?”
Gordon even felt intolerable, whether it was towards the mushroom pig or Hayata.
“No need, it’s quick.” Yamos twitched the corners of his mouth with a subtle expression. It was hard to tell whether he was frowning or smiling.
The pork chop on the side even covered his face with his little paws.
After more than ten minutes of "death struggle", the poor mushroom pig finally died in front of Hayata.
Hayata, who was spattered with blood, was holding a hunter's knife, breathing heavily, and her eyes seemed to have lost their luster.
Patting the girl's shoulder sympathetically, Gordon stepped forward and began to skin the body.
Soon, he cut off several large pieces of raw meat with the best quality.
As for the mushroom and pork rinds, which would turn into a delicious delicacy as long as they were handled properly, he completely gave up and turned them into fishing nets.
“Okay, let’s get out of here first.” Seeing that the stripping was over, Yamos waved to the two of them. "Let's leave the Qimian Clan's territory and find a quieter and safer place to rest and barbecue."
“Okay!” Gordon licked his lips, looking impatient.
Hayata also followed up with the help of Pig Chop.
The discomfort caused by the first killing made her feel nauseous. She couldn't swallow anything put in front of the barbecue, but she was still very curious about the process of barbecue.
The weather was very hot. In order to ensure the freshness of the mushroom and pork as much as possible, Gordon's pace became hurried and fast.
Gradually, Hayata felt that she could no longer keep up with that guy, but she had a strong personality and refused to take the initiative to ask to slow down, so she had to endure the fatigue and grit her teeth to follow closely.
This time, Yamos did not stop Gordon.
Although his expression remained normal, he already had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Hayata made a scary noise when he killed a pig just now, and even got blood all over the floor. The smell of blood was strong, and it stands to reason that it would attract some velociraptors, and predators like dog dragons.
Even if you're lucky and there aren't these monsters nearby, you won't even see a few flies, right?
The hunters shuttled through the forest, and they soon left the territory of the Strange Face Tribe, but Yamos's face became increasingly gloomy.
The dense forest in the afternoon was so quiet that even the sound of the greaves stepping on the fallen leaves and branches became harsh, and the chirping of insects, birds, and even the sound of the wind disappeared.
“Gordon!”
Yamos, who was accompanying Hayata, suddenly shouted low. He reached out and grabbed the girl's wrist, and his pace began to speed up.
Gordon, who was responsible for opening the road ahead, finally noticed something strange in the forest. He glanced left and right and his expression became cautious.
Hooking Hayata, Yamos caught up with Gordon who was walking in the front in a few steps.
The middle-aged hunter put his palm on the hilt of his sword and said with a serious expression, "You and Pig Chop take Hayata. I will open the way. They are catching up."
“The Strange Face Clan?”
“There is also the King of the Strange Faces.”
"Really?!" Gordon couldn't help but glance at Yamos, who had already passed in front of him. "We are so lucky, did we really collide?"
“Well, without the leadership of the King of the Strange Face Clan, ordinary Strange Face Clan would not take the initiative to pursue a team composed of multiple hunters.
“Tsk.”
Gordon smacked his lips and sighed at his good luck. At the same time, he replaced Yamos and grabbed Hayata's forearm.
"Meow!"
Pork Chop, who was on all fours and running at full speed, suddenly screamed, giving an early warning.
The next second, two strange-faced tribesmen jumped out from the trees in front of them with strange screams, and pounced on the hunters with a fearless attitude, just to intercept them.
Yamos, who was at the front of the team, didn't even slow down his pace. Shiro Sarugi unsheathed his arms in an instant, and a bright arc of light flashed past while waving his arms.
Kasaya beheaded!
The two strange-faced tribesmen blocking the road lost all vitality in mid-air and turned into two corpses covered in white frost, rolling to the ground.
“Quack!”
“Rukacha!”
“Gahbabacha!”
Suddenly, the noisy and chaotic shouts of the Strange Face Tribe rang out from the shadows of the dense forest in all directions. Gordon, who was running with all his strength, couldn't help but tighten his grip on Hayata's wrist.
The number of strange-faced tribes hiding around them has exceeded ten, and may even exceed twenty.
He has never encountered such a large-scale attack by the strange-faced tribe!
Another shadow flashed out from the shadow of the tree. Gordon, who was always paying attention to his surroundings, immediately realized that the target of the strange-faced clan's attack was the girl behind him.
“Pig Chop, protect her!”
Gordon shouted and waved his hand vigorously to send Hayata forward. He turned around and swung the explosive knife to block the strange-faced tribe.
He didn't think that the sword he swung in a hurry could hit the opponent, but at least it could force the opponent back and cover the evacuation of the rookies in the team.
However, what he didn't expect was.
This guy, who seemed to be a little bigger than the other strange-faced tribesmen, actually did not dodge his attack, but instead waved a scepter made of an unknown animal's leg bone to face his sword.
This little monster who is barely as tall as his own waist actually wants to fight with me?
Gordon hummed softly, and his muscular arms couldn't help but add a little more force.
Let you try to cut people in half with weapons!
“Bang!”
With the sound of metal clanging like a drumstick hitting a gong, Gordon felt an almost unstoppable force transmitting back to his arms along the handle of the knife.
The giant steel blade, which was as heavy as a man, was bounced high in the air during the impact. Gordon's eyes widened in disbelief.
He actually lost in the power that he was so proud of? Or lose to a strange-faced tribe?
The young hunter, whose weapon was deflected, was exposed, but the odd-faced man wearing a strange headdress and appearing top-heavy moved extremely quickly.
The seemingly rough and inconspicuous bone scepter turned and hit him directly in the chest.
Shocking knife, the combo hit in an instant. Gordon's pupils shrank suddenly as he had no time to dodge. Having experienced the power of the opponent's attack, he was very sure that if he was hit by this blow, he would never be able to stop it with the defensive performance of his refined ore suit. Come down.
Can cause serious injury or even death!
Just when Gordon was about to fall into despair, an ice-blue alien blade thrust out from the side. While holding the bone scepter, the blade deflected and easily removed the inconspicuous but powerful weapon. A terrifying blow.
“Senior Yamos!” Gordon, who had saved his life, shouted in surprise.
“This is the King of the Strange Face Tribe, please step back.”
Hunting against the cassock and forcing his opponent back, Yamos stared closely at the strange-faced tribe that easily suppressed Gordon, not daring to let down his guard at all.
Gordon is no longer talking nonsense.
The breakout has failed, and the next step is a head-on battle. Since Yamos has faced the king of the Strange Face Tribe, it is his own task to deal with the other Strange Face Tribe.
Looking up at the strange-faced tribesmen who surrounded Hayata and Pork Chop, Gordon activated his explosive knife and rushed forward.
