Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 104 Blood Raven Skull

A second later, the enemy's right-wing black wolf indeed accelerated and began to charge. Clearly, the witch had not seen through Li Wei's intentions.

At the same time, the enemy's left-wing Black Wolves slowed down slightly, seemingly preparing to adjust their pursuit and interception direction at any time. These beasts are really clever!

But the crow overhead lowered its altitude. This feathered creature was a bit troublesome; it seemed to have figured out Li Wei's intentions.
Or are we planning to dodge and disrupt his vision when he draws his bow and fires?

The two knights seemed to have been disturbed by the flock of crows, which frightened their warhorses away.

Li Wei didn't look up, pretending not to know about the crow's existence, but in his mind he was already quickly simulating several possibilities.

Yes, you can dive, but I can also use tactical deception!
In the blink of an eye, the black wolf on the right had already rushed more than ten meters away. The stench of its running, along with the gust of wind it created, gave it the imposing presence of a tiger entering the forest.

Li Wei finally realized what was happening and quickly glanced back, her eyes filled with terror, panic, helplessness, weakness, and pitifulness...

But it's no use!

The outcome will be decided within three seconds.

However, Li Wei suddenly dodged behind a thick tree and stopped. The transition between movement and stillness was incredibly smooth. In that instant, he was able to draw a hardwood arrow, quickly draw his bow, and aim at the mutated black wolf!

Almost simultaneously, the large crow that had been circling low above the treetops swooped down at the predetermined angle, aiming to grab Li Wei's face.

As a result, it could only see Li Wei's calm and unwavering eyes.

Are you seriously underestimating a two-star hunter?

Especially the two-star hunter whose fate stability has reached 35.

Do you think I'm shooting wolves?

idiot!

In an instant, without hesitation, Li Wei knelt on his right knee, using it as a fulcrum. He leaned back slightly to lower his center of gravity, and at the same time, he changed the angle of the two-star composite bow. He didn't even need to draw it much before the hardwood arrow flew out rapidly, directly blasting the large crow to pieces!
At the same time, the black-robed witch in the middle lane on the opposite side let out a shrill, painful howl, as if a red-hot iron had been pressed against her most tender spot. Could it be that the big raven has a special connection with her?
But Li Wei didn't have time to pay attention. Almost at the same time as he let go of the handle, he threw the two-star composite bow in his hand, rolled on the spot, and went around the big tree to the other side!
The next second, the mutated black wolf pounced on the spot where Li Wei had just been standing. Its speed and impact were enough to severely injure Li Wei!
However, such a large size is not without its drawbacks, namely, the inertial force is very strong, making it less agile!

In addition, the black-robed witch seemed to have encountered some problem, as she kept screaming in agony. This may have disturbed the mutated black wolf. Although it immediately turned around and chased after Li Wei, it was too late.

But Li Wei wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

Who says ranged archers can't fight in melee?
He casually pulled out the iron spear hanging on his backpack, gripped it with both hands, and stabbed back fiercely the moment the mutated black wolf leaped up!
Although Li Wei wasn't very skilled at this spear-like thrusting technique, the action was so simple and straightforward that the iron spear pierced the mutated black wolf's chest. At the same time, the ferocious mutated black wolf also bit Li Wei's left shoulder, almost biting his throat.

At the same time, the enormous impact also forced Li Wei to stagger backward, but it also caused the iron spear to pierce through his back. However, such a terrible injury could not end the life of this mutated black wolf. It still had the strength to pounce forward until it knocked Li Wei to the ground on his back.

At this moment, staying calm is your biggest asset!

In an instant, Li Wei released his grip on the iron spear, pulled back his left arm, and punched the mutated black wolf in the jaw. In the instant that the wolf loosened its grip, his left arm returned to defend, protecting its throat.

The next second, he was bitten by the mutated black wolf, and excruciating pain spread through him. Even his +12 two-star leather armor couldn't stop the wolf's sharp fangs.

Moreover, the black wolf was surprisingly strong; it even tried to tear Li Wei's left arm apart, aiming straight for Li Wei's vitals.

But at this moment, Li Wei had already drawn the steel dagger from his waist with his right hand and began to frantically stab at the mutated black wolf's abdomen or other parts of its body, like driving piles, until the final blow pierced the black wolf's neck, and black blood gushed out like a fountain, as if an oil well had been drilled.

Li Wei's head and face were covered in foul-smelling black blood.

This time, however, the mutated black wolf finally ran out of strength to struggle and collapsed to the ground, convulsing continuously.

Li Wei closed his eyes, overturned the black wolf that weighed about three or four hundred pounds, pulled himself out, and without caring about anything else, threw away the dagger, took the water bag from his left waist, and rinsed his head and face.

He then scrambled to the tree without even picking up the dagger, trying to climb it, but his injured left arm made it difficult to exert any force. He could only pull out the one-star wooden spear and prepare for the final battle to the death!

In fact, even after rinsing his eyes with water, he still felt a burning pain in both eyes and had difficulty seeing.

The only thing that kept me calm was that I didn't even have time to think about what death was.
"Ouch!"

The mutated black wolf on the left was howling, and the mutated black wolf in the middle was also howling. As for the black-robed witch, she stopped screaming in pain. She seemed to be injured and was swaying as she rode on the wolf.

Then, amidst the howls of the two mutated black wolves, they quickly disappeared into the distance.

Only now are lines of information appearing.

You have encountered a mysterious black-blooded witch.

Because of your hunter and woodcutter destiny, you have a strong sense for unusual dangers in this forest, which is why you avoided the Black Blood Witch's ambush.

[Thanks to your calm demeanor, agile movements, excellent archery skills, and meticulous thinking, you successfully shot and killed the Black Blood Witch's Blood Raven, and seemingly also severely injured the Black Blood Witch herself.] [You faced a mutated Blood Wolf of Dark Two-Star rank alone and successfully killed it. Because this mutated Blood Wolf has a special connection with the Black Blood Witch, you once again severely injured her.]

The other party escaped, and you narrowly escaped death.

[You have obtained a two-star loot item—the Skull of the Blood Raven. This indicates that it seems to be an item with special magical power, and it may have some use.]

[You have obtained a two-star loot item—the head of a mutated blood wolf. This indicates that it is a prize favored by lords, and perhaps in the city of Kahe, it will serve as a pass to prove your identity.]

You have gained a total of 500 hunting experience points, bringing your current total to 1595.

Although you are not in a family camp, you still receive 50 family contribution points because of your purpose and the fact that you are currently on a mission.

-

call!
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. The information that came out meant that he was temporarily safe. He quickly retrieved the water bag and used the remaining water inside to continue rinsing his eyes until he could barely see.

He was a little worried about contracting the plague, but since the message didn't warn him, it meant there was still room for maneuver.
However, the most important thing now is to evacuate this place to prevent the witch's accomplices from attacking.

Next, Li Wei endured the pain, squinted, cleaned his hands, found the two-star compound bow, and carefully put it into the bow bag to avoid getting it dirty.

Then he found the blood crow skull, which was only the size of an apricot kernel.

Amazingly, the large crow's body disappeared, leaving only this object. Holding it in your hand, you can almost hear the crow's caw.

Furthermore, this thing is very light, yet extremely sturdy.

Li Wei put it into his pocket and turned to look at the ferocious and huge mutated blood wolf. This guy seemed to be even more troublesome than the black bear.

Meat is definitely not allowed.

The fur? There wasn't even time to peel it off, besides, he wasn't familiar with this kind of thing to begin with.

Then the only option is to cut off its head. The information just now was practically a declaration: if you want to enter Kah City, you need an identity, and that's your pass.

Having retrieved the dagger, Li Wei squinted and struggled to cut off the blood wolf's head. He then carried it with one hand, not having time to clean up the scene or care about leaving any traces. After determining the direction, he turned and left.

He had originally planned to walk along the main road and see if he could reach the city of Kah before evening. But carrying a bloodied wolf's head was just asking for the enemy to come to him.
However, he was injured, and although his eyesight had not worsened for the time being, it was no longer as bright as before. In addition, he had exhausted a lot of energy, and by the time he reached the mountain pass, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, which was too late.

With a determined look, Li Wei took out a wooden spear, stuck one end into the ground and the other end into the blood wolf's massive head. He refused to believe that any wild beast would dare to eat something so obviously evil.

Then, while it was still relatively bright, he took off his leather armor and frantically washed himself by the stream, both his eyes and the wound on his left arm.

They then set up camp, dug a cooking stove, lit a fire, and boiled water.

It took a long time to finally get some hot water and a warm dinner.

After eating and drinking his fill, he lay down in the tent with his iron spear in his hand, forcing himself to sleep. Yes, he needed plenty of sleep. He was certain that he had contracted the plague, or at least had some kind of inflammation.

In this situation, without suitable medicine, his only reliance is his 150 points of vitality, as well as his consistently abundant physical strength and relatively perfect condition.

In short, tough it out!
At this time, sufficient sleep and enough food are the best aids.

Li Wei slept soundly and peacefully, but in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a shrill cry or some kind of excited scream.

He jumped up with a start, the pain from the wound on his left arm almost causing him to fall. He felt a little unsteady, but the pain in his eyes was relieved.

He crawled out of the tent and was startled by the night wind. He looked around and saw that it was still dark all around, but the shouts were coming from the south. Yes, it was the farm he had seen during the day. There were fires rising there and many people. Moreover, the screams were very piercing in the quiet night.

what's going on?
Robbers are robbing people?
Or is the black-robed witch hijacking the prison wagon again?
That must be quite difficult in the middle of the night.

You can't exactly throw a crazy party in the middle of the night!
Li Wei looked around for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

To be honest, he's still completely baffled by what happened today.

What exactly was in the prison cart? And why didn't the black-robed witch participate in the robbery?
Why did she come to investigate afterward?

The city of Kah ahead seems like a den of dragons and tigers, fraught with danger.

Hmm, my head hurts a little, do I have a fever?

Oh no! A plague!
