Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 144 Return to the Association
After inviting Wang Yue, Louis did not stay on the grassland any longer, but returned to the town with his team members.

Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the silver-level adventurer leave.

The other party is still relatively naive. He is still standing with the werewolf, and it doesn't seem like he is truly willing to turn from evil to good.

"Steppenwolf still has half of its goal left. Let's continue."

After driving away two groups of human adventurers, Finko's team continued to hunt prairie wolves on the grassland. In order to speed up the progress, Wang Yue also joined the subsequent battles and soon collected all the wolf skins required for the mission.

“I don’t have much experience, but I did gain some from the bone fragments.”

Wang Yue obtained bone fragments from the corpse of a human adventurer, which allowed her to summon the [Skeleton Soldiers] she had used before.

They have the same [Charge] skill as [Skeleton Boars], but are larger in size and their attacks are determined by the weapons in their hands.

The bone fragments of the prairie wolf can summon a new type of [Skeleton Wolf], but the skill of the Skeleton Wolf is not [Howl] but [Tear]. Tearing can make the target bleed continuously for a short period of time.

They got along very pleasantly with the werewolf. Thanks to Wang Yue's guidance, they had already trusted this human with whom they had only been together for half a day, and more of it was due to Finke's trust.

Orcs can only survive in human towns with the support of each other. They must always guard against human malice and are therefore not friendly to strangers.

Wang Yue is an exception. His breath is very strange to werewolves and does not seem to be human, but his appearance is indeed human.

In short, thanks to their special way of getting along, the first day of hunting was successfully completed, and Finko's team began to return to the town carrying the wolf skins.

"The scenery on the grassland is nice. The sky is half dark and half bright in the evening."

There are no mountains in the vast grassland, and the east and west sides are endless. The sun and the moon appear on both sides of the map at the same time, indicating that it is dinner time.

The wild beasts on the grassland have also started eating. At this time, the beasts are the most ferocious, and the monsters that have not captured food are starving.

"Yes, it's in this direction. The prairie wolves along the way have also been cleared out. That's great."

Wang Yue took out the [Ghost Map] and selected a route without monsters. There were many yellow dots on the grassland. The beasts would not attack unless provoked, so he only needed to look at the red dots.

We should have been able to return smoothly, but a large group of red dots began to appear on the map, and this group of red dots was quickly swallowing up the yellow dots around it.

"Sure enough, we met again."

There was still some distance between them and the other party, so Wang Yue had plenty of time to escape. The werewolf also heard the noise in the distance, and Finke reminded Wang Yue that it might be a group of beasts.

"Sir, the association has warned us that we can only challenge the beasts if there are 20 adventurers. There is no other choice but to stay away."

"Look, the herd over there doesn't seem to be a pack of wolves."

Wang Yue stood on tiptoe and saw a blood bar faintly visible in the distance. The blood bar belonged to a monster called [Grassland Lion].

The level of this group of lions is 19, but their health bars have golden borders. They are all elite monsters that can fight three at a time.

"No matter how you calculate it, the probability of death is higher, unless someone buys me time for the Skeleton Snowman to self-destruct."

The tactical risks that can be executed are too great, and the opponent is too numerous. It would be foolish to choose to challenge the [Grassland Lion] now.

"Let's go, before they catch up, let's go quickly."

The wolves did not linger and followed Wang Yue back to the Adventurer's Association.

When delivering guild missions, there will be additional rewards if the loot is of higher quality.

The wolf skin of the [Sharp Claw Prairie Wolf] is even more precious, so the number of silver coins given by the association has doubled, and a batch of cheap potions will also be given away, which is better than nothing.

After Finko completed the task, the humans who were talking stopped for a moment, and one of their representatives stepped forward to block Finko's way.

"Hey, have you seen another group of humans?"

"If you don't get out of here, I'll cut your throat."

Finko showed her teeth and daggers, but the other party was not scared and continued to question.

"It must be the work of you beasts. They followed you to the southwest and haven't come back yet. It must be you who are causing trouble."

"I've warned you, trash goes where trash belongs."

Fen Ke said something that was totally inconsistent with her appearance. Wang Yue wondered if she had heard it wrongly.

But what he didn't know was that Finko only learned the human's hospitality tone when he was "working", and when a conflict occurred, he only used the simplest and crudest words.

The patience of both sides was gone, and Finko grabbed the opponent's collar and threw him into the corner, which also marked the beginning of a melee between the two sides.

The staff immediately hid under the table and waited for the guards to arrive.

It wasn't long before armed guards arrived to stop the fight between orcs and humans.

Things like this happen every day, and the tables and chairs of the Adventurer's Guild are never complete.

After the guards arrive, everyone must give face to the mayor. If they continue to make trouble, they will be thrown into a real cell.

It was heard that no one who entered the cell had ever come out alive, so after venting their anger, both sides immediately dispersed and returned to the main activity areas of humans and orcs.

Wang Yue naturally followed Finke back to the hotel and completely ignored the invitation from the landlord's stupid son Louis.

"Is it okay, sir? That's an invitation from a silver-level adventurer."

"It was a bronze-level adventurer who invited me, and I'm a gold-level adventurer, so I'm above him in terms of level."

After a day of fighting, the relationship between the two men had obviously improved a lot, and the walking distance between them was now within one meter.

After the favorability reached 60 points, Finke already regarded Wang Yue as a friend, but because of the existence of the [Slave Contract], the upper limit of the favorability was stuck at 60.

"Miss Fink, we'll be leaving then. See you tomorrow."

“See you tomorrow, Boss William. I am also looking forward to your guidance. No, your guidance.”

The useless potions can be sold, and with the extra silver coins, every werewolf has a rich harvest today.

What they felt more was the increase in strength, and their gratitude to Wang Yue could not be measured by money.

"I wonder how Finch is doing today. She didn't sleep well last night."

When he thought of his sister, Finko suddenly blushed.

She was busy fighting on the grassland that day and had not thought about how to explain that she had slept in Wang Yue's room for a night.

"Ahem, then don't sneak into my room tonight. Getting good sleep will be very helpful in battle."

Seeing the other person's expression, Wang Yue also recalled her own beastly behavior.

The two were silent for a long time until they met the innkeeper and used food to ease the awkward topic.

This was the first meat dish Wang Yue had eaten recently. Her teeth had forgotten the feeling of biting into the barbecue, and her tongue even tasted the oil dripping onto the plate.

He tore the meat and vegetables more roughly than an orc, causing passers-by to once again doubt his human identity.

"No wonder Fink let him go. It turns out Mr. William is actually an orc."

"I was wondering why the smell was so strange, but what race is this person who looks so human? I don't see any orc features on him."

"Hush, I heard that Fink went into his room last night, maybe hiding under his clothes."

After this magical night, the news that William was not human spread among the orcs and also reached the ears of humans.
