Bab 9: Chapter 9: The Origin of the Wolf Demon
Seeing Field digging into his own meat in front of them, Geov also felt a bitter taste in his heart. He didn't say anything. After experiencing this, Qiqi definitely wouldn't stay, so following Field might be a good choice. The rest of the journey would be much smoother.
There was only one Wolf Demon, and everyone felt a shiver of fear when passing by the torn cattle herd. If it weren't for Field, they would have been in danger. The situation was extremely urgent at the time. None of the scouts in the team were as fast as it. Even if Qiqi was sacrificed, the convoy might not have escaped safely. After all, Wolf Demons were extremely vicious creatures. After killing Qiqi, it would have turned its attention to the team. The result would either be the team abandoning the convoy, letting the drivers and pack animals attract the Wolf Demon's attention while they escaped, resulting in a mission failure and heavy losses, or the Wolf Demon ignoring the convoy and going straight for the people. In that case, perhaps only Geov, the fastest, would have survived, or maybe no one would have survived...
So, the feelings of the people towards Field were very complicated. They were grateful to Field with a hint of awe, but Field obviously didn't want to communicate much with them because of their act of abandoning a teammate, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Geov knew this was pride. This young man exuded a vigor and arrogance in both his actions and words that he didn't possess. If he didn't like you, he just didn't like you, without pretending otherwise.
Therefore, the others wisely didn't disturb Field and Qiqi.
The journey of over a hundred kilometers would take two days and one night. After the thrilling encounter with the Wolf Demon, the rest of the journey was much smoother. Nothing happened except encountering a couple of passing monsters, which were easily driven away.
At night, the convoy stopped to rest. The three carriages were arranged in a T-shape, and everyone gathered around a campfire in the middle. People gnawed on dry rations, but their eyes were on Field.
This guy had gone hunting in his spare time and soon returned carrying two wild boars, which he quickly dealt with on the road. By now, they were roasted to perfection.
Looking at the delicious roasted pig in front of Field, and then at their own dried meat, the others couldn't help but drool.
Field stabbed the sizzling, oily roasted pig with a small knife and nodded in satisfaction before tearing off a leg.
This wild boar was specially selected by him, half-grown with the best meat, and not afraid of being wasted.
"Here." He handed the leg to Qiqi.
Qiqi's mouth was practically watering. She was clearly a little greedy cat.
"Thank you, meow~" Qiqi's ears trembled slightly as she gave Field a sweet smile.
The more they looked at the little cat-eared girl, the cuter she seemed. Field couldn't help but rub her head, and she didn't resist, but instead affectionately rubbed against his big hand.
Field smiled and then tore off a leg for himself, biting into it heartily.
Field had a big appetite, and in no time, the whole roasted pig was devoured. Qiqi also ate her fill and burped contentedly.
As for the others, they were tantalized but felt awkward about asking Field for some pig meat. So, they swallowed their saliva and tried to convince themselves not to pay attention.
Seeing this scene, Field's lips curled up slightly. He had teased them long enough, it was time to stop.
So, he stretched lazily and looked at Geov. "Are you guys satisfied with just those dry rations?"
"Uh... it's, it's okay," Geov replied, somewhat surprised that Field was willing to start a conversation. He had thought that this big guy wouldn't say a word to them on the whole journey.
In fact, Field didn't like their act of abandoning a teammate, but why bother dwelling on it? He wouldn't be teammates with them in the future anyway. So, Field knew how to balance things and understood how to get what he needed from these people. Like information.
The torment of the tense atmosphere during the day made Geov and the others eager to break the awkward silence, so when Field took the initiative to talk, it was like giving them a way out.
So, Geov was very willing to chat with Field.
"I caught an extra wild boar. It's in the carriage. If you want to eat, deal with it yourselves," Field said casually, leaning against the carriage.
The others looked at each other in disbelief, their faces full of astonishment.
"Don't want it?" Field raised an eyebrow, his face, which was actually kind and honest, now giving off a somewhat mischievous vibe.
"We want it!" Almost in unison, they hurried to bring down the wild boar and soon enjoyed the delicious roasted pig themselves.
However, their skills obviously weren't as good as Field's. At least, the appearance and aroma of the roasted pig weren't as good as what Field had made.
"You guys call that thing the Wolf Demon?" Field asked as he saw them enjoying the meal, knowing the timing was right to inquire.
With the roasted pig and Field's willingness to communicate, the hearts of the group relaxed a lot, and the atmosphere became much more pleasant. Therefore, facing Field's question, they were more than willing to share all they knew.
"Yeah, the Wolf Demon is a creature born in the Bloody Land. Recently, for some reason, it seems that some distant lands have been eroded by the Bloody Land, turning into Blood-soaked Earth," Geov explained.
"Many monsters crawled out of the Blood-soaked Earth, and the Wolf Demon is one of them."
"What is the Bloody Land?" Field asked, as he had never heard of it before.
"It's another world, a... very terrifying world," Geov explained. "The power of that world can penetrate into other worlds through certain mediums, contaminating the land to turn it into Blood-soaked Earth and giving birth to terrifying monsters."
"Serious contamination can even directly create Bloody Rifts, connecting to the Bloody Land, and may even form Blood Tides."
"I'm not very clear about the specifics, but it should be similar to the Beast Tide, but even more terrifying."
"What level of creature is the Wolf Demon among the creatures of the Bloody Land?" Field asked again.
"I've only seen three types of creatures from the Bloody Land: Blood Fish, Blood Eye, and the Wolf Demon."
"Blood Fish rely on quantity to win. Although individual combat power isn't strong, once they form a large group, they become extremely terrifying. Fortunately, they can't stray too far from the Blood-soaked Earth."
"Blood Eye is like a giant red octopus with a single huge eye. Its individual combat power is much stronger than Blood Fish, and it can even affect people's vision, making it very difficult to deal with."
"And the Wolf Demon is the most terrifying among these three creatures. They roam alone, with extremely strong individual combat power. It's said that they can become stronger through slaughter, and once they target you, they won't stop until they kill you!"
"According to the information provided by the Mage Alliance, even a newly born Wolf Demon without a Gold Five-Star rating is very difficult to deal with..." Geov paused, looking at Field with a complex expression.
This guy claims to be a Silver Five-Star... Fortunately, someone asked the question he had in mind.
"Big guy, are you really a Silver Five-Star?" Qiqi asked, looking at Field with curiosity all over her face.
Field chuckled. "Of course I am. Don't believe me? Look."
With that, Field activated his blood and qi. Visible to the naked eye, five blood and qi patterns appeared around him, swirling like a vortex, with a silver light emanating from them.
Geov and the others were stunned. This guy wasn't lying after all!
"It's really a Silver Five-Star..." Qiqi murmured, then couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so powerful as a Silver Five-Star?"
Field scratched his head.
He couldn't just say it was because he was a giant and his strength grew dozens or even hundreds of times more than that of ordinary people, could he? The advantage of being a giant lay here. His strength was incredible, his physique was incredibly strong, but he wasn't sure if his giant physique had magical aptitude; that was still up for debate.
After thinking for a moment, Field said, "Because of my divine power!"
With that, he even raised his arm, showing off his bicep, which was like a small mountain.
With a little effort, his muscles bulged, and at that moment, Field's arm was thicker than Qiqi's waist.
"Oh my meow..." Qiqi couldn't help reaching out to touch Field's bicep, her eyes flashing with inexplicable light.
Geov and the others were slightly stunned, then nodded with a wry smile.
Indeed, some people were naturally gifted.
Some manifested in magical talent, some in physical strength. After all, the world was never short of geniuses, and Field was obviously one of them.
With such physical qualities, he would surely become a powerful warrior in the future.
Hmm... if Field only wanted to be a warrior, that is.
