Chapter 191: Conquering the Hun Tribe
Chapter 191: Conquering the Hun Tribe
September 25, 2017
The burly man had just killed three members of the Black Wind Legion, immediately catching the attention of Zhao Gang and Wang Yi.
Lu HaiKong felt sympathy for the Black Wind Legion, and Zhao Gang and Wang Yi shared his sentiment, wondering how this man could be so fearless in taking lives.
Zhao Gang charged forward, and upon seeing this, Wang Yi continued with his task of eliminating the Hun tribe's able-bodied warriors.
As Zhao Gang approached, he realized that this man was not just tall but exceptionally well-built, rivaling the stature of Dian Wei. Standing at around two meters, his arms were like iron barrels.
The man's strength was clearly a result of his natural physique, as he seemed to lack any martial arts skills, relying solely on his brute force to challenge Zhao Gang.
Of course, the man was no match for Zhao Gang, who possessed superior martial prowess. While he could bully those with a strength rating of forty or fifty, he was no match for Zhao Gang's strength, which exceeded seventy.
After exchanging a few blows, Zhao Gang easily pierced the man's body in several places, leaving him covered in blood within a few strikes.
However, Zhao Gang had to admit that the man's physical qualities were truly impressive. Zhao Gang's weapon was of good quality, but it didn't penetrate the man's body deeply.
Zhao Gang couldn't help but feel envious, thinking of how powerful he could be if he had such a physique.
At that moment, Zhao Gang realized that the man seemed a bit simple-minded. After being stabbed a few times, the man covered his wounds, crouched on the ground, and began to whimper, repeatedly calling out 'Mother' in Chinese.
"What a pity," Zhao Gang sighed, ready to finish him off with a spear. But just then, Lu HaiKong's Ghost Mask Axe blocked Zhao Gang's attack.
"Don't kill him. Give him to me, and you go back to your task."
Lu HaiKong's words left Zhao Gang with no choice but to comply, and he resumed hunting down the able-bodied warriors of the Hun tribe.
Lu HaiKong, however, remained by the side of the big, stupid man, his eyes gleaming as if he had discovered a treasure.
Name: Shagen
Race: Han/Hun (Mixed)
Abilities:
Strength: 40, Politics: 0, Strategy: 0, Command: 0
Talent: Innate Strength
Skills: Advanced Herding
These were the attributes Lu HaiKong observed in the big, stupid man. In terms of strength, he was unremarkable, but his talent was exceptional, the best Lu HaiKong had ever seen, except for Dian Wei, whose attributes Lu HaiKong had never witnessed.
Despite having no cultivated skills, his Innate Strength alone gave him a strength rating of over 40. With proper training, he could become a formidable warrior, perhaps not on Dian Wei's level, but a worthy successor nonetheless.
Lu HaiKong dismounted and approached the man, who was still crouching and calling for his mother. He carefully examined the big, stupid man.
Wang Yi, noticing Lu HaiKong's actions, quickly assigned a cavalry unit to protect him, despite knowing that his lord possessed exceptional martial skills.
Lu HaiKong could tell that this big, stupid man was likely bullied within the Hun tribe, as his clothes were tattered and torn.
The big, stupid man, noticing Lu HaiKong's gaze, stopped crying and looked at him curiously, tilting his head as if in thought. Then, he tried to appear fierce, despite his pain.
(End)
Ah Fu's expression contorted in pain, his gentle nature and instinctual reaction to danger during the kill now giving way to a dopey look.
As Lu HaiKong glared, the big dummy's expression immediately faltered, and he retreated a few steps in fear.
Lu HaiKong couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, his eyes narrowing as he approached the big dummy.
Despite his foolish appearance, the big dummy seemed to sense Lu HaiKong's kindness, and after some hesitation, he allowed Lu HaiKong to approach without resistance.
Lu HaiKong didn't say a word. Instead, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a makeshift bandage made by the fort's physician. With a firm grip, he pulled the big dummy towards him.
The big dummy, naturally strong, had trained in the Wild Beast Instinct and Rugged Body techniques, yet he found himself powerless against Lu HaiKong's empty hands. He could only let Lu HaiKong lead him, standing helplessly as Lu HaiKong tended to his wound.
This was Lu HaiKong's first time bandaging a wound, and his hands were a bit clumsy. Several times, he pressed down hard on the big dummy's wound, causing him to cry out in pain.
The big dummy, a mix of Han and Hun descent, had always been looked down upon. Despite his robust physique, he had a mental deficiency—not low intelligence, but a much slower cognitive development than most. At twenty years old, his mental age was only that of a five or six-year-old.
In the Hun tribe, the big dummy was bullied by everyone, though they never dared to physically harm him. No one had ever genuinely cared for him.
And so, under Lu HaiKong's silent yet persuasive approach, the big dummy easily succumbed.
"From now on, follow me, and you'll never go hungry again!" Lu HaiKong patted the big dummy's shoulder after finishing the bandaging.
The big dummy didn't fully understand Lu HaiKong's words, but he vaguely grasped the idea of having enough food, so he nodded without hesitation.
As Lu HaiKong dealt with the big dummy, the Black Wind Legion's work on the other side was also nearing completion.
Although the Huns organized a late counter-attack towards the end of the battle, it was too little, too late, as most of their fighting force had already been eliminated.
Their final resistance was like a feeble last gasp, swiftly crushed. The Hun who had led the charge, with a strength rating of around sixty, was pierced through the throat by Zhao Gang's three shots, marking the true end of the battle.
"Congratulations! You have successfully conquered a small Hun tribe. You gain 1 million profession experience, 50,000 skill experience, and a Silver Chest."
