Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll [Seeking Favorites and Recommendations]

"Cunning creature."

Zong Shen had already seen through the intentions of this Grassland Wolf.

The Grassland Wolf was trying to lure him away from the small courtyard.

Without the protection of the "Novice Protection Status" of the small courtyard, the Grassland Wolf could calmly launch an attack on Zong Shen.

Although this world possessed certain game-like characteristics, as could be seen from the Grassland Wolf and the three foolish farmers under his command, the living beings of this world also possessed their own thoughts and emotions.

This gave Zong Shen a deeper understanding of this magical world.

Wolves are unruly and vengeful.

Since this Grassland Wolf had already set its sights on them, it would not leave easily.

Thinking of this, he did not choose to pursue it, but instead stepped backward, one step at a time, into the lord's small courtyard.

Sure enough, the Grassland Wolf stopped its retreat, standing rooted to the spot, staring unblinkingly at Zong Shen.

It was as if it wanted to devour Zong Shen with its gaze alone.

Yet, seeing Zong Shen remain indifferent, he set down his shield and One-handed Sword, flashing a mocking smile at the Grassland Wolf.

Sure enough, the Grassland Wolf lunged forward again; this time, it seemed to have learned a lesson and did not cross the boundary.

It merely paced back and forth on the grass three meters away from the small courtyard.

Such is the nature of a wolf: if you are weak, it is strong; if you are strong, it is weak.

As Zong Shen retreated, it advanced.

It was attempting to surround Zong Shen and break his psychological defenses.

Just then, Zong Shen grinned and took the Hunting Crossbow he had been carrying on his back.

He pulled a crossbow bolt from the quiver at his waist and drew back the bowstring.

Even with the strength Zong Shen had clearly gained through enhancement, he could feel the powerful tension as he pulled the bowstring back.

The power of this Hunting Crossbow was definitely extraordinary!

Although the stats indicated that the Hunting Crossbow had 33 points of piercing damage, Zong Shen did not yet understand the concepts behind these numerical values.

He slotted the crossbow bolt into the firing groove of the Hunting Crossbow.

He aimed it at the Grassland Wolf.

Several meters away, the Grassland Wolf eyed the Hunting Crossbow in Zong Shen's hands with vigilance.

It was not yet a fully grown Grassland Wolf.

It was still in its growth phase.

An adult Grassland Wolf would be much larger than this one.

Not to mention the existence of creatures like a wolf king.

The Grassland Wolf before him seemed to have been separated from its pack, which was why it was alone.

Therefore, still in its growth phase, it had never seen a Hunting Crossbow before, only instinctively sensing that this object was somewhat dangerous.

When Zong Shen raised the Hunting Crossbow.

He discovered another very advantageous situation.

Before his eyes, a golden crosshair had actually appeared.

At the same time, weak points such as the wolf's waist, nose, and eyes were marked with golden circles.

The golden Strategy Guide on the side was flickering.

(Aim your crosshair at the circle on this wolf pup's body; at this distance, unless you're blind, you'll hit it.)

Seeing the prompt, Zong Shen understood, aiming the crosshair at the golden circle marked on the Grassland Wolf's eye.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger of the Hunting Crossbow!

"Zheng!"

"Whoosh!"

The vibrating sound of the crossbow string snapping back echoed.

Following that was an incredibly sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.

"Awoo!"

What followed was the mournful howl of the Grassland Wolf.

The crossbow bolt hit the Grassland Wolf's eye with precision, sinking more than halfway in, the tail of the arrow still trembling incessantly.

Above the Grassland Wolf's head, bright red damage numbers immediately floated up.

[-50]

[-9]

[-5]

[-4]

The Hunting Crossbow itself has 33 piercing damage, plus the 8 points of piercing damage from the Bent Crossbow Bolt, and there might even be bonuses from my own attributes.

This confirms that the eyes are indeed a weak point without protection, which is why this shot from the Hunting Crossbow dealt full damage.

As for the subsequent damage numbers, those should be the damage over time caused after the bolt pierced into it.

Zong Shen silently observed everything, gaining a certain understanding of how attacks and damage calculations worked in this world.

There was no other way; facing this completely unfamiliar world, everything required constant exploration and summarization.

At least I still have the Strategy Module, while everyone else probably has to rely on blind guesses based on their gaming experience.

After the bolt struck the Grassland Wolf.

Zong Shen placed the Hunting Crossbow at his feet.

He grabbed the Kite Shield and One-handed Sword once again and charged out.

At this moment, the Grassland Wolf's health remained at [62/145], less than half of its total.

Now that it was injured and in pain, how could it dare to stay here any longer?

It turned around staggeringly, tucking its tail between its legs, ready to flee.

How could Zong Shen let it slip away right under his nose? He held the shield in one hand and the sword in the other, rushing forward with quick steps.

The movements of the Grassland Wolf were much slower after being injured.

Zong Shen's speed was quite fast, and with the shift in their relative momentum, he quickly caught up behind the Grassland Wolf.

Hardening his heart, he swung the rusty One-handed Sword in his right hand down toward the wolf's waist.

Blood immediately sprayed out, scattering across the surrounding grass.

A scent of blood began to permeate the air.

The seemingly rusted One-handed Sword in his hand sliced through the Grassland Wolf's fur cleanly, followed by the wolf's miserable howl and a bright red damage number.

[-22]

This damage is indeed not as high as the Hunting Crossbow!

This area is protected by fur; although it is marked as a weak point, unlike the eyes, this area still counts as having armor.

(You ignored the influence of your Strength attribute on damage calculation. Once you add points in [Personal], you will be even stronger.)

Just as doubts arose in his mind, the strategy prompt appeared once again.

Seeing this Strategy Guide, Zong Shen's doubts were largely cleared away, and he began to focus on dealing with the battle.

At this moment, the Grassland Wolf had suffered heavy damage to its waist and eyes, leaving it with only 42 points of health, its movements becoming even more staggering and weak.

This is the first prey I've encountered since coming to this world!

"Die!"

Zong Shen gritted his teeth and slashed twice more at the wolf's body!

[-22]

[-20]

The Grassland Wolf's health instantly dropped to zero.

All signs of life vanished completely.

A system notification appeared at the bottom of his field of vision. With a thought from Zong Shen, the notification immediately floated before his eyes.

[Killed LV3 Grassland Wolf]

[Obtained 55 experience points]

[Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll ×1]

[Grassland Wolf Corpse ×1 (Click to dismantle)]

Following this, a flash of white light occurred.

Several points of light emerged from the wolf's corpse and merged into Zong Shen's body.

These were the manifestation of experience points.

On the ground, besides the wolf corpse, there was a scroll covered in peculiar inscriptions.

It really was a setting similar to wild monsters!

It could actually drop equipment!

Behind him, the three simple-minded farmers who had been watching from the small courtyard saw their lord display such great might and slay the Grassland Wolf.

They cheered one after another and ran out.

"Long live the lord!"

"Following the lord's footsteps, we will surely become nobles!"

"We will die for the lord!"

These three sycophants shouted slogans as they trotted eagerly to Zong Shen's side.

They gazed at the Grassland Wolf carcass with drooling expressions.

In their eyes, this wasn't a wolf corpse.

It was meat! Fresh meat!

The kind of fresh meat that would sizzle and drip with fat as soon as it was roasted over a campfire!
