Kapitel 23: Finding Sulphur

On the other side of the mountain, we came upon a smoky area. As we descended into it, there were tar pits and yellow pillars that were probably smoking from some sort of chemical probably. I turned to Ige. "Gather some from both the yellow pillars and the tar pits, see what they give you."

She nodded happily. "Yessir!"

Tizi turned to me. "That is creepy. You said she is a soul slave? Like she has no choice, but to do whatever you want?"

"That's right. I almost made you one, but you are more useful to me this way. Make sure you don't make the biggest mistake of your life by betraying me. Just as you said last night in your wee story."

She smiled. "I can prove it to you tonight. I won't ever betray you."

I reached over and brushed my fingers over her arm. "That's good."

Ige came running back with a big grin on her face. "I harvested 20 sulfur and 10 oil!"

I grinned. "Finally, we have found the sulfur. We can make grenades. Go harvest more sulfur only until you don't have any space left.

As she was hitting the sulfur pillars with her metal pickaxe, I adjusted the experience settings on our tribe to only be 2:8 between Tizi and I.

It took her about ten minutes for her to gather that amount. We all delved deeper towards the heights that stretched towards the smoking volcano.

As we ascended up the slowly rising slope, we saw three dinosaurs and they were much bigger than a raptor even though they looked similar. As soon as they saw us from about 100 yards away, they started to sprint at us. Each second, they covered about 10 yards.

I quickly motioned to Ige to fall back as I removed the greatsword from my inventory. Tizi became invisible beside me as we rushed forwards to meet the dinosaurs.

I pumped mana from my Soulstone and through my mana veins. I enhanced every portion of my body. I focused mana on my sword and an orange aura covered the whole weapon.

I met the foremost dinosaur head-to-head with my sword as I jumped into the air. My sword seamlessly sliced through the dinosaur's head without the least trace of resistance. As my momentum carried me over the decapitated body, both of the remaining dinosaurs jumped with their maws wide open to grab me in their jaws.

One of them jumped higher than the other and its teeth clamped onto my legs. I felt my armor break and my mana being expended at an extremely fast rate. The mana was acting like a protective coating over my legs.

As the dinosaur descended with me in its mouth, I drove my broadsword right through its eye. It didn't even scream in pain, instead it went limp and I went to the ground with it.

The last dinosaur lunged towards where I had fallen besides its slain comrades. Just as its teeth were about to engulf me, its rightmost eye spurted out blood and it shook its head violently. Tizi became visible as she flew through the air and heavily impacted a rock.

I picked myself up and ran all of the remaining mana through my legs as I rushed towards the wounded dinosaur. Its remaining eye did not see me. Instead, it had directed its attention towards Tizi. I caught up to it while enhanced with mana and I brought my sword down upon its neck like an executioner. It died in a spray of blood as its head was separated from its blocky shoulders.

I called out to Ige. "Come here."

She ran towards me as I began to walk towards Tizi. "Take any sigils from the dinosaurs' bodies and give them to me. After that, harvest them and keep only the hide. Before that though, give me some of your sulfur."

She nodded and gave me 50 sulfur ore.

As I neared Tizi, a blue screen popped up in front of me.

I temporarily put off applying my points and checking the engrams from the past four levels, 16-19. I needed to check on Tizi. She had done good in the fight.

I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her. "Hey, are you okay?"

Her eyes fluttered open, revealing light blue ocean eyes as her eyebrows knitted and her soft lips opened slowly. "Did we win?"

"Of course we did, but more importantly are you OK?"

She smiled. "I'm okay, my health is just low. Did you get anything?"

"I got a rare sigil from being the first to kill an Allosaurus. Ige is checking the bodies right now to see if there is more."

"Oh, open the sigil up, I want to see what you get."

I did as she suggested. I reached into my inventory and pulled out the Sigil. I ripped it open and a portal formed above me. An item fell out of the sky. When I grabbed it, it disappeared into my inventory. I quickly opened my inventory and took out the item.

It was a one handed battle ax. It had a "C" shaped blade which was attached to the shaft. On the other side of the blade there was a spike and there was also a spike on the very top.

Her eyes widened. "Could I have that? I liked to use axes when I was an assassin."

I tossed it to her. "Sure, I want you to be able to do more damage anyways and you have a good skill to do so."

She nodded. "Thanks."

As she looked at her new weapon, I put my three points into weight and then looked at my inventory to see how my stats looked.

I closed the window and turned to Tizi and told her what I got. Her eyes lit up. "I want to know what these guns are like. I have never used one before, you know."

I smiled. "You'll be in for a treat."

I could not wait to make some 0.50 BMG and test out my Barrett M82.

I nodded to her. "We need to start making a small wooden base or something in preparation for the night. We have come far enough."

She nodded and pulled out some tools that were in her inventory.

I simply watched both of the women work.

Ige never found any sigils on the three beasts though.
