Alvin was woken up by Captain Murphy early in the morning.
"Last night, you said you needed a suitable weapon. Early this morning, I went to the blacksmith's house. He once created a complete weapon attack system for Mac'Aree's Storm Fortress to forge a weapon for you. It's a piece of cake!" Captain Murphy said it excitedly, patting his chest!
Alvin also became excited: It was so happy to hear such news so early in the morning! "Then, captain, shall we go find Mr. Blacksmith now?"
"Of course not. Mr. Spade has heard about your deeds and is willing to build a weapon for you for free, but you need to prepare the required materials yourself!"
After speaking, Captain Murphy took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, with the materials needed for forging densely displayed on it.
Ivan took the note and took a look at the types of materials required: magic crystal water, celestial gold ore, moonlight pollen, silver scale fish oil...
After just a brief glance, Alvin smiled bitterly: "There are so many materials, it will take a long time to prepare them all!"
Captain Murphy had already seen it in advance: "Most of the materials are available in the warehouses in the village. For some that are not available, many can be purchased from Ms. Xina, the material dealer in the village."
After a pause, Captain Murphy added: "There are still a few materials at the end that you need to actually look for."
"There are four materials you need to find, namely celestial gold ore, Argus crystal, fire flower, and shadow leopard skin!"
When Ivan heard the name of this material, he knew that it was very difficult to find: "Well, captain, since you know all about the missing items, you must know where to get these materials, right?"
Captain Murphy muttered: "I don't know much about this. I am the defense officer of the village. You should ask the herbalist, jeweler, and miner this kind of question!"
"What about the Shadow Leopard's skin?" Ivan thought that there was still one missing clue.
Murphy didn't hesitate this time: "There's one on the mountain behind the village. Just bring your bow and arrow and kill one!"
…
The first is the argus crystal. According to a jeweler in the village: this is a purple-red crystal that is produced deep in the veins of Argus. After a long period of geological activity, it finally appears on the surface, so the output is extremely precious!
Ivan wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "It is precisely because of the reason why it was produced that ninety-nine percent of Argus crystals are hidden in useless stones." After that, Ivan He raised the hammer, and with a bang, a piece of gray-white rock was shattered by a single blow. Ivan picked the hammer among the gravel, fiddled with it a few times, and finally spat: "I didn't find it again! It's really annoying. !"
Captain Murphy looked on and smiled: "If it could be found so easily, then the Argus crystal wouldn't be so precious!"
Alvin also knew that this should be the case, but looking at the gravel on the ground, he couldn't help but not lose his temper. He yelled and started working hard again.
In the evening, Captain Murphy and Ivan had dinner in the restaurant: "Have you gained anything from knocking rocks all day?"
Ivan shook his head and said nothing, just stuffing food into his mouth.
After a while, Alvin finished his dinner, stood up and ran outside. Murphy shouted: "What's the rush? Let's go out for a walk after I finish eating!"
"No, no, I have something to do tonight!"
"What's so urgent?" Captain Murphy wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"People in the village told me that shadow leopards like to come out at night. I want to go to the mountains tonight to take a look. If I'm lucky, I can get one!"
"Can you use a bow and arrow?" Captain Murphy reminded.
"I shot a few arrows at the training ground before dinner, and I'm pretty confident!" After the last trial, Ivan's ability to control his body has greatly improved, and with it, he has Learning to draw a bow and shoot an arrow is extremely fast, and every muscle in the body actively cooperates with Alvin. After just one evening of training, Alvin can shoot arrows wherever he wants!
On the mountain behind the village
Ivan was wearing a dark hunting suit, a pair of soft-soled leather boots on his feet, a short sword on his waist, and a long bow and a quiver on his back: standard Dawn Village hunter equipment.
Pushing aside the dense grass, Alvin walked softly in the mountains, searching for the shadow leopard through the starlight in the sky.
The shadow leopard is an extremely agile animal that is good at ambush hunting: it relies on its fur to become invisible for a short period of time. Once it finds its prey, it will appear behind it without anyone noticing, using its sharp claws and fangs. Penetrating into prey...
Because of this, the hunters in the village all know one thing: don't point your tail towards the unknown.
Although Alvin has no tail, he also knows that once he is targeted by the shadow leopard, he will be prey before he notices it!
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the sound of Ai Wen's rustling footsteps was particularly clear in the silent mountain forest.
I promised to go out at night, but I haven't found a trace yet!
After knocking rocks all day during the day and wandering around in this deserted place at night, Alvin felt really angry!
Let's go to the west and have a look. If it's not available, go back. We'll have to continue pounding stones tomorrow!
Alvin's patience has been worn away. He no longer walks lightly, but strides forward.
I'll go to the village and ask around tomorrow to see if I can find a hunter to take me out. Ai Wen walked in the mountains shallowly and deeply, thinking.
Suddenly, Alvin paused, something seemed wrong!
I couldn't tell what was wrong, but Alvin just felt uncomfortable.
Standing there quietly, thinking, the air around him stopped flowing.
In an instant, a figure suddenly slipped out of the air and headed straight for Aiwen!
The hairs all over his body stood up, and Alvin felt the malice lurking in the shadows!
Instinctively rolling forward, Alvin felt a fishy smell passing over his head, and his back was extremely painful from the messy rocks!
Damn it! I almost told you here! Ivan was kneeling on the ground with one leg, and the sneak attacker could be vaguely seen in the shadow in front of him: it was a three-meter-long beast, with light blue eyes that were very eye-catching in the dark night.
Ivan stared at the figure closely, and slowly touched his back with his right hand. Holding the long bow in his hand, he felt confident in his heart. He touched his back again but did not find the quiver: Although the beast just now did not It hurt Alvin, but the sharp claws cut the strap of the quiver. Alvin was eager to escape but didn't notice.
It's over now! Without a bow and arrow, Aiwen's only weapon now is the short sword at his waist.
The beast seemed to have some wisdom. Seeing that Aiwen had no bow and arrow, he slowly walked out of the shadows.
I saw that the beast had a pair of sharp canine teeth, its light blue eyes were staring at Alvin closely, its body was covered with colorful patterns, and its neck was dotted with several colorful feather-like decorations.
It was exactly the same as what the hunter in the village described: a mature shadow leopard!
Ivan held the dagger in his backhand and licked his lips: Either you die or I die today!
