"Cunning thing."
Zong Shen had already seen through this Grassland wolf's thoughts.
The Grassland wolf was luring him away from the small courtyard.
Without the protection of the small courtyard's "beginner's protection", the Grassland wolf could easily attack Zong Shen.
Although this world had some gaming characteristics, it could be seen from the Grassland wolf and the three foolish farmers under him that the creatures of this world also had their own thoughts and feelings.
This gave Zong Shen a deeper understanding of this magical world.
The wolf was unruly and vengeful.
Since this Grassland wolf had already set its sights on them, it would not leave so easily.
Thinking of this, he did not choose to chase after it. Instead, he retreated step by step into the feudal lord's courtyard.
As expected, the Grassland wolf stopped retreating and stood rooted to the ground, staring fixedly at Zong Shen.
It was as if it wanted to devour Zong Shen with its gaze.
However, Zong Shen did not seem to care. He put down his shield and single-handed sword and revealed a mocking smile at the Grassland wolf.
As expected, the wolf pounced again. This time, it seemed to have learned its lesson and did not cross the line again.
However, it kept pacing back and forth on the grass three meters away from the small courtyard.
That was the nature of wolves. If you were weak, it would be strong. If you were strong, it would be weak.
Zong Shen retreated, and it advanced.
It tried to surround Zong Shen and make him break down mentally.
At this moment, Zong Shen grinned and removed the hunting crossbow from his back.
He took out an arrow from the quiver at his waist and drew the crossbow.
Even with Zong Shen's obviously enhanced strength, he could feel the powerful tension when he pulled the bowstring.
The power of this hunting crossbow was absolutely extraordinary!
Although the attributes indicated that the hunting crossbow had 33 piercing damage points, Zong Shen still did not understand the concept behind these values.
He jammed the arrow into the firing slot of the hunting crossbow.
And he aimed at the Grassland wolf.
Several meters away, the Grassland wolf eyed the hunting crossbow in Zong Shen's hand warily.
It was not an adult grassland wolf yet.
It was still growing.
A mature Grassland wolf was much larger than it.
Not to mention an existence like the Wolf King.
This Grassland wolf in front of him seemed to have been separated from the wolf pack, thus it was alone.
Therefore, it, who was still growing, had never seen a crossbow before. It only instinctively felt that this thing was a little dangerous.
When Zong Shen picked up the hunting crossbow.
He discovered another advantageous situation.
A golden cross appeared before his eyes.
At the same time, the wolf's waist, nose, and other weak spots were marked by the golden circle.
A golden strategy guide was displayed at the side.
(Direct your aim at the circle on this young wolf. At this distance, as long as you are not blind, you can hit it.)
Zong Shen saw the notification and understood. He pointed the star at the golden circle around the wolf's eye.
Following that, he pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Clang!
Swish!
The vibrating sound of the crossbow rebounding was heard.
Then, there was an extremely sharp sound of air breaking.
"Howl!"
What followed was the howl of the Grassland wolf.
The crossbow accurately struck the Grassland wolf's eye and the end of the arrow was still trembling.
Red and eye-catching damage values floated above the Grassland wolf's head.
[-50]
[-9]
[-5]
[-4]
[Hunter Crossbow] had 33 piercing damage. In addition to [Bending Crossbow], there were 8 piercing damage points, and his attributes might even increase the damage.
This meant that the eye was indeed a weak point without any protection, so the crossbow's attack dealt full damage.
As for the subsequent damage values, they should be the continuous damage caused by the insertion of the bolt.
Zong Shen observed everything silently. He had a certain understanding of the attacks and damage calculations in this world.
There was no other way. In the face of this completely unfamiliar world, everything had to be continuously explored and summarized.
After all, he still had the strategy module. The others could only rely on their gaming experience to guess blindly.
After the arrow hit the Grassland wolf.
Zong Shen placed the hunting crossbow by his feet.
He grabbed his kite-shaped shield and single-handed sword and charged out.
At this moment, there was only [62/145] left of the Grassland Wolf's health points.
Now that it was injured, how would it dare to stay here?
It turned around and tried to escape with its tail between its legs.
How could Zong Shen let it slip away right under his nose? With a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, he quickly rushed forward.
After being injured, the wolf's movements became much slower.
However, Zong Shen's speed was very fast. With this, he quickly caught up to the Grassland wolf.
Making up his mind, he slashed down with the rusty single-handed sword in his right hand.
Blood spurted out and scattered on the surrounding grassland.
The smell of blood filled the air.
The rusty single-handed sword in his hand sliced through the fur of the Grassland wolf, followed by the wolf's screams and the red damage number.
[-22]
This damage was indeed not as high as a crossbow!
This body part was protected by fur. Although it was labeled as a weakness, it was different from the eyes. This body part still had armor.
(You have neglected the effect of your Strength attribute on your Damage Judgement. When you finish adding points in [Personal], you will be even stronger.)
When he was puzzled, the guide notification appeared again.
Seeing this guide, Zong Shen's doubts were mostly cleared and he began to concentrate on the battle.
At this moment, the Grassland wolf's waist and eyes were severely injured, and it only had 42 Health Points left. Its body became even more staggering and weak.
"This is my first prey since coming to this world!"
"Kill it!"
Zong Shen gritted his teeth and slashed at the wolf again!
[-22]
[-20]
The health points of the Grassland wolf were instantly depleted.
All signs of life vanished.
A system notification appeared below his field of vision. With a thought, this notification appeared before his eyes.
[Killed a Level-3 Grassland Wolf]
[Received 55 experience points]
[Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll x1]
[Grassland Wolf's Corpse x1 (Click here to decrypt)]
Then, a white light flashed.
Some light spots appeared on the wolf corpse and entered Zong Shen's body.
These were the experience points.
Apart from the corpse of a wolf, there was also a scroll with a strange inscription on it.
It was indeed a wild monster setting!
It could drop equipment!
Behind him, the three foolish farmers who were hiding in the small courtyard watched as their Lord unleashed his might and killed the Grassland wolf.
They all ran out, cheering.
"Long live the Lord!"
"Follow the Lord's footsteps and we will definitely become nobles!"
"I will die for the Lord!"
The three bootlickers shouted their slogans and ran to Zong Shen's side.
They looked at the corpse of the Grassland Wolf with a drooling expression.
In their eyes, this was not a wolf corpse.
It was meat! Fresh meat!
As long as it was placed on the bonfire to be roasted, it would be the kind of fresh meat that would be sizzling with oil!
