The male Forktail howled in pain again, flapped his wings and tried to escape.
As soon as it flapped its wings, it felt its back sink, as if something had landed on its back.
He twisted his neck and looked up, and found that the hateful cat-eyed monster who had hurt him before had once again raised the long sword that he feared and struck with one strike.
In an instant, male Forktail felt his eyes go dark, the world began to spin rapidly, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
After a few breaths, it completely fell into endless darkness.
Dick turned sideways nimbly, dodging the blood splattered on Forktail's neck, and landed lightly on the ground with another leap.
Then he drew out the short crossbow from his waist, aimed at the female Forktail not far away, the vital part of her throat was exposed, and shot out an arrow.
The battle ended instantly.
It's not like he has never dealt with this kind of [dragon-like] monster before. He remembers that when he was trying to save the woodcutter Banyan, he almost died while dealing with Cockatrice.
But this time when my Swordsmanship reached the master level, I just spent some energy and easily solved the problem with Sword Qi.
It seems that in this short period of time, my combat effectiveness has undergone a qualitative change with the promotion of Swordsmanship.
Of course, this does not mean that the male Forktail he is dealing with is weak, but that he has wisdom and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. After fighting Dick for one round, he found that the strongest part of his body was damaged;
Knowing that he was no match for Dick, he wanted to escape, but he was frightened when his partner died violently, so he was caught critically.
If this Forktail had been a little bit stupider, maybe it would have lasted a little longer.
But it's just a matter of holding on a little longer.
"Harden, what's going on?"
Dick tried hard to recall his previous attitude towards Harden, and finally came to the conclusion that his original treatment of Harden was pretty good, not bad, so there was no need to pretend too much.
Harden had also just finished the battle and helped Dick pull out the crossbow bolt stuck in Monster's neck. At this time, he came to Dick and looked at him in surprise. After a moment, he said:
"You took care of that male Forktail so quickly? That thing was much more difficult to deal with than the one in front of me."
"Maybe my strength has become stronger. By the way, have you received a commission?" Dick took the crossbow arrow and did not want to say more on this matter.
"That's right, but," Harden frowned, a trace of anger flashed across his face, "The shepherd told me before, but there is no second Forktail."
"What should we do now? Ask the shepherd directly, or collect the materials first?"
"Collect materials?"
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Then Dick came to the male Forktail, took out the dagger from his waist, and carefully scratched his skin from head to tail.
This Forktail leather is an excellent material for making School of the Cat Demon Hunter light armor.
And Harden was doing the same thing with the black butcher knife in his hand.
While Dick hasn't completely peeled off the skin of Forktail, Harden has already finished.
He came over carrying a linen bag, which smelled of bloody meat.
Dick searched for the memory of his original body and knew that Harden must have refined some of the meat from Forktail's body to use as his own food. He would not say much about other people's hobbies.
Harden came to Dick and said, "In a moment, this Forktail's head will be given to me."
"Why, there is another wealthy businessman who wants to collect it as trophies?"
"No, anyway, I need it." Harden didn't say much.
Dick didn't ask any questions, and happily peeled off the leather of Forktail completely, folded it and put it into a space pocket.
And Harden held his own black butcher knife, came to the male Forktail, and slowly pried open its head along the gap.
He took out a prepared glass bottle from his pocket, held Forktail's head in one hand, and poured the white crystal liquid behind his skull into the glass bottle.
After Forktail couldn't drip any crystal liquid from his head, he put the bottle away with the stopper, looked at Dick again, and explained:
"Witcher Church Order needs cerebrospinal fluid from Forktail."
Dick nodded. "What should we do next?"
"Let's go find the shepherd now and ask what's going on?"
Harden added, "Dick, thank you, otherwise I might have been injured just now."
He looked down at the bag filled with fresh meat again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the fishtail wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened significantly. The corners of his mouth were not visible under the cover of his beard, but he should be laughing:
"Without you, I wouldn't be able to get this delicious food." Then Harden carefully put the hair hanging in front of her face on her head.
The two turned around, each riding their own horses, and galloped towards the shepherd's farm.
After five or six minutes, the two dismounted.
Six or seven people were already standing in front of the farm.
A middle-aged man walked in the front, followed by several young people.
This middle-aged man is the leader of this group of shepherds.
Harden quickly walked up to the man and said, "When you asked me to deal with Monster who always raided the sheep on your farm, you didn't say there were two Forktail!"
The middle-aged man in front of me sneered, "I, I never thought there were two of them. I've only seen one before."
"Really?" Dick said with a warm smile.
Seeing the Red Hair cat's eyes speaking without any hostility, the shepherd felt much more relaxed. "Of course."
Suddenly, a translucent triangular pattern flashed before his eyes.
"Why did you do that?" Dick said in a deep voice.
"Because I think it's best for Monster to deal with Monster and die together. The demon hunter doesn't have to pay until he dies."
Just after saying this, the shepherd's dull eyes became clear and he looked at the two of them in horror. "What did you just do to me?"
Dick had retracted the hand that cast the spell and did not speak. Instead, he looked at the people behind the middle-aged man with a cold look, signaling them not to move forward.
Harden said expressionlessly, "Just two. I said before that one would cost 80 Kelang, because the second one is bigger, so I want 200 Kelang."
"What? 200 Kelang! So many?"
"What, you don't want to give it?" Harden's dull face showed no trace of anger.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, took out a bag of money from his rich pocket and handed it over, "Then this money will be used as a commission for the two master demon hunters."
Harden took the money bag, took out only a handful, and handed the rest to Dick.
Dick was not polite and included it in the bag. At the same time, a prompt for completion of the commission came on the panel:
Kill Forktail X2 and get Energy Points X60.
Complete the commission and obtain Energy Points X30.
The current total is Energy Points X100.
What an unexpected surprise!
Dick felt happy and was about to say a few more words to Harden when a dark afterimage flashed before his eyes.
With a "swish" sound, the middle-aged man's big head flew into the sky, with a look of astonishment still on his face.
