Chapter 14 14: Disaster Strike (Part 1)
"It's a good thing that we got two returner stones right now."
Since the time they entered the dungeon, he was always worried about how to get out of the dungeon. His wife and son were still waiting for him in the village, so he can't stay here for long. In addition, the forest is getting darker, it's dangerous to hunt in the dark.
An unguarded village was like a delicious piece of meat in the eyes of bandits.
"We should leave the dungeon for now, the village has been left unguarded for too long, if something happens to the village, then what we achieve right now will become useless."
"Yes, captain, we might look like we don't want to leave this place, but since the time we come in we've been always worried about our families outside."
"Ok then, I need five people with me, and others will go to Nox."
Arnoux told Nox how to activate the stone, although Nox can identify the stone on his own, it will take a lot of time, apart from he was only a first-layer body tempering, he also doesn't have a clue how to use his spiritual power properly.
Arnoux and Nox who was about to activate the stone, everyone were stunned in place, to see wolves appearing abruptly from the bushes and pouncing on them.
"AAAHHH"
Everyone turned their head to see one of their companions on the ground getting mauled by a wolf. Like a bell ringing in their mind, everyone's eyes turned red, and started fighting back.
-------------------
A few minutes earlier.
Argon who was following Arnoux and his group was getting impatient.
"These guys are really slippery, especially their leader it's hearing is just inhuman."
Even one hundred feet away he can still hear it, and manage to make a detour.
Right now, the group was resting.
"These guys even got two returner stones." Argon was speechless by their luck.
"System, do you know how much I would get from killing these guys?"
[For the specific number the system doesn't know, the system only knows the stronger the person, the more soul coins you get.]
"Really?... Or you just don't want to say it."
[I will remind the host that the system is just a guide for the host, not the creator.]
"Ok relax, no need to be so serious, I'm just joking" What a grumpy system.
While Argon was floating above, he found a pack of wolves two hundred feet away from Arnoux's group. It's seven wolves, one second-layer and the rest were all first-layer.
He had an idea, he teleported to the wolves. As soon as he arrived, the wolves lower their bodies.
"Stand up!" It's like they understand Argon, the wolves stand up.
"Follow me." The wolves followed, after all, they can still understand simple commands.
Argon can only hope that the goblins he will gonna buy next can communicate with him, as far as he knows, goblins aren't really that intelligent.
"Soul coins, I need to find a way to get more soul coins."
As long as he has enough soul coins he can even construct a powerful body directly, but he knows that's just his wishful thinking. He knows he needs a lot of soul coins just to gain a foothold in this world.
