At this moment, Zhang Tie felt like a foodie who met a delicacy or a whorehouse who met a red card. He was so happy that he wanted to sing.
This time, he had killed all 28 iron-teeth hyenas. Plus those that he had killed yesterday and in the morning, one more iron-teeth hyena seven-strength fruit could be ripe. When he thought that he could eat another seven-strength fruit in the evening, Zhang Tie felt like soaking in an ice spring on a hot day, which made him feel extremely comfortable.
It was right for him to come to Ice and Snow Wilderness. Only after coming here for 3 days, he was going to eat the 2nd seven-strength fruit.
Because he was in a good mood, Zhang Tie's smile looked very strange in the eyes of those teenagers. Seeing Zhang Tie walking towards them, all the teenagers watched him nervously. They didn't relax their vigilance even though he had killed those iron-teeth hyenas for them.
As they were in the wild of Ice and Snow Wilderness, all the teenagers felt a bit anxious when they met a freak. Now that that freak could kill 20-30 iron-teeth hyenas with that terrifying weapon in a split second, it would not be difficult for him to kill the rest of them.
Nobody knew whether he was a friend or foe.
Zhang Tie walked closer to them. At the sight of their expressions, he knew what they were thinking about. However, Zhang Tie was not dissatisfied about this. If it was him, he would also stay vigilant. These teenagers living in Ice and Snow Wilderness were born to fight against the Heaven and the Earth. It was normal for them to be precocious. Given that they could hunt at such a young age, Zhang Tie knew that.
Zhang Tie put down the heavy crossbow on his shoulder and put the barrel on the ground as he asked with a smile, "Are you okay?"
He then smiled, "Are you okay?" At the sight of Zhang Tie's movement, all the teenagers became relaxed at once.
"Ah, thanks for your help just now. We're fine. If not your timely appearance, the result might be worse." Ivan said.
"It's a small matter. I was just doing it out of convenience!" Saying this, Zhang Tie bent down to pull out a bloody bolt. After wiping off the mud and blood stains on it, he put the bolt into the cartridge on his waist.
Seeing Zhang Tie picking up the metal bolts, those teenagers exchanged glances with each other before coming over to help him. After a short while, Zhang Tie had already finished collecting the metal bolts. Therefore, he collected all the metal bolts that Zhang Tie had just shot out.
Those metal crossbow bolts were quite heavy. Although they had been used before, the bolts were still as clean as new after being wiped. There was not a single scratch left on them. When the youths saw this, they were secretly amazed.
"By the way, can we know your name?" After collecting all the crossbow bolts, Roland asked. The teenager called Ivan plucked up his courage and asked Zhang Tie. "Since you've saved us today, we will definitely pay you back!"
Zhang Tie felt that these teenagers were very interesting. "I'm Peter, what about you?"
"I'm Ivan!"
"I'm Joey!"
"My name is Tavnov!"
"I am Zuo An!"
…
A total of eight youths puffed out their chests and introduced themselves.
After knowing each other's names, everybody felt that the atmosphere became more harmonious. At this moment, the youths had completely dropped their vigilance against Zhang Tie. After all, based on Zhang Tie's strength, if he really wanted to harm them, he didn't need to talk so much with them. They didn't think that they had anything that was worth Zhang Tie's attention.
Zhang Tie then easily picked up the heavy repeating crossbow from the ground. He looked at the sky. "Ivan, where do you live?"
"He lives in the Kurgan Village over twenty miles away from here!"
Zhang Tie knew that the village mentioned by these teenagers was actually the smallest tribe in Ice and Snow Wilderness which was surrounded by a fence or a mud wall. Besides Eschyle City, over 99% of the other places in Ice and Snow Wilderness were inhabited by tribes. There were many levels among the tribes here. The highest-level tribes with over 1 million people could use bears as their totem. The so-called Kurgan Village was actually a small Slavic tribe with less than 2,000 people.
"It's a bit dangerous in the wild. I don't know whether you will meet iron-teeth hyenas on your way back. I will send you back in case of any accidents!"
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the teenagers felt that Zhang Tie was a good person.
"Erm … do you need these iron-teeth hyenas?" A teenager called Barasa asked Zhang Tie while pointing at those iron-teeth hyenas in the Dishan Mountain after a short hesitation.
"No need. If you can take them away, I will give them to you!" Zhang Tie replied generously. These iron-teeth hyenas were indeed useless to him. These days, he had tried to eat the flesh of these iron-teeth hyenas. Although the flesh of iron-teeth hyenas was edible, its fishy taste still lingered in Zhang Tie's mouth. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt very disgusted.
As for the fur of iron-teeth hyena, no matter how frugal Zhang Tie usually was, he would not buy it from those fur dealers for some silver coins. At this moment, Zhang Tie was also not sure whether the fact that he had left Eschyle City in an alias had been exposed. After all, besides demon snake island, if that barber in Eschyle City saw the wanted order, he might also expose his trace to the public. It was risky to contact any business group in Eschyle City at this moment. Zhang Tie knew that the reward of over 1,000 gold coins was not a small figure for many people.
After making a choice, the teenagers of Kurgan village started to walk back to the village with a dead iron-teeth hyena on their backs. Zhang Tie followed them as a bodyguard.
As they walked, they chatted with each other. Zhang Tie also learned a lot of information about the surroundings of Grey Hill from the teenagers. He gradually integrated the information and inquiries about the surroundings of this land.
"Peter, you're so sharp. Are you a bear-killing fighter from Eschyle City who is responsible for dealing with the animal tide here?" Joey asked as he stealthily glanced at that domineering metal weapon in Zhang Tie's hand with a special brilliance in his eyes.
On the way. All the teenagers peeped at that weapon in Zhang Tie's hand from time to time. It was their first time to see such a powerful weapon. This metal crossbow was utterly different than those common metal crossbows that they had seen before. When Zhang Tie rushed out, they all remembered that this crossbow could shoot continuously. Not only that, it was also very destructive. The moment it touched each iron-teeth hyena, they would be completely penetrated. Additionally, the metal bolts that matched with this weapon were not common either.
"I'm not a bear-killing fighter!" Zhang Tie shook his head. He also knew about bear-killing fighters. They were Slavic fighters in Ice and Snow Wilderness. All the bear-killing fighters were above LV 6. However, not all the fighters above LV 6 could be called bear-killing fighters. The most important point for bear-killing fighters was that they were bear-killing fighters. The key to becoming a bear-killing fighter was to master a berserk skill which could improve one's battle strength in a short period. With the berserk skill of bear-killing fighters, a common fighter's battle strength could be greatly improved. Therefore, it was possible for a LV 6 bear-killing fighter to defeat a LV 7 common fighter. Additionally, a LV 7 bear-killing fighter could challenge a LV 8 common fighter.
"You're not a bear-killing fighter?"
Zhang Tie's answer shocked the other teenagers.
"Of course not!"
"Then why are you here? Additionally, you seem to be interested in hunting iron-teeth hyenas. " The teenagers were very curious. Additionally, they were straightforward. They would not consider whether this question was related to others' privacy.
"Actually. I'm a pious believer of the school of patron! " Zhang Tie had been telling such a lie more and more fluently. When he told the story, his look had turned pious and natural as a conditioned reflex. Zhang Tie found that he could easily explain what he had done in the name of the school of patron on many occasions. This name was as useful as the all-purpose balm of Hua people. No matter what strange things he did, as long as he was related to this school, everything would become reasonable and full of justice. "It's the basic doctrine of the school of patron to maintain the basic order of the nature and the balance between species. I feel that the animal tide on Grey Hill might affect the balance between species and ecology here. Therefore, I'm here!"
"Ah? Are you also a member of the school of patron?" Ivan widely opened his eyes and watched Zhang Tie, "A member of the school of patron came to our village a few days ago!"
Ivan's words made Zhang Tie stunned. After leaving Blackhot City, it was Zhang Tie's first time to hear about the activities of the school of patron. Besides the kind grandma Teresa, Zhang Tie had no impression about this mysterious school. After hearing this teenager's words, Zhang Tie's curiosity was aroused at once.
"Oh, why did that member of the school of patron come to your village?"
"I don't know. That person stayed in the village for a few hours. After talking with Uncle Zieg for a long time, he left!"
…
'Why did the school of patron dispatch someone to a small village in Ice and Snow Wilderness?' This question kept lingering in Zhang Tie's mind on the way back.
After walking for over 10 km, a team of 20-odd men with javelins on their backs encountered them on the road.
"Ivan, Zoan, it's great that you're safe!" At the sight of Ivan, Zoan and Zoan, those older and stronger men let out a deep sigh at once. Closely after that, they ran towards Zhang Tie and Zoan, "A lot of iron-teeth hyenas appeared not far from the village today. Uncle Zieg told us to find you and tell you to go back as soon as possible!"
"Ah, we also met over 20 of them just now. We almost couldn't come back!"
"What happened?" Hearing Ivan's words, those young men tightened their grip on their weapons at once, "What about now? Where are those iron-teeth hyenas?"
"Thanks to Peter, we've killed all of them; otherwise, we would have been bitten into pieces!"
After Ivan's introduction, those young men focused on Zhang Tie seriously.
"Ivan, someone has come to pick you up. I have to go now. See you later!" Zhang Tie revealed a smile. Zhang Tie prepared to leave and find a place to eat fruits.
"Ah, it's getting dark. Let's take a rest in the village for one night! If Uncle Zieg knew that we let you go, he would definitely beat us ferociously and say that we don't know the rules... "Ivan urged Zhang Tie to stay.
"That's right..." The other teenagers also shouted on one side.
"You've saved the lives of 8 men in Kurgan village. You're the most honorable guest of our Kurgan village. Please come to our village and taste our Seabuckthorn wine! "Those young men who Zhang Tie met just now also opened their mouths with a solemn look.
When he recalled that figure of school of patron who came to Kurgan village a few days ago, Zhang Tie's heart raced as he nodded. "Fine, let's go to your village and taste your Seabuckthorn wine!"
Seeing Zhang Tie's straightforwardness, everybody burst out into laughter.
On the way back to the village, Ivan's group told the team of young men how they met Zhang Tie in detail. After knowing what happened, the team of young men looked at Zhang Tie with more respect. There were also a few people who were eager to try. When young people saw their peers who were stronger than them, they would more or less be a little unconvinced.
Zhang Tie was 3-4 years older than Ivan's group; however, he was 3-4 years younger than these young men. Some of them felt that Ivan's group exaggerated Zhang Tie's fighting strength when they described how Zhang Tie killed 20-30 iron-teeth hyenas. According to Ivan's group, Zhang Tie might have already reached the level of bear-killing fighter. A 17-18 year old bear-killing fighter had not appeared in Kurgan village for a long time.
"Peter, is that big thing in your hand a heavy crossbow? Did you kill over 20 iron-teeth hyenas with it just now?" One of the youths called Burman said directly, not concealing his thoughts at all.
Zhang Tie didn't feel strange at all. As he had known these young men's straightforward temperament, Zhang Tie felt it easier to get along with them. "Yes, how about it? Do you want to have a try? "
"Great!" Burman rubbed his hands out of excitement.
Zhang Tie held the heavy crossbow by one hand and passed it to Burman. Seeing Zhang Tie's easy movement, Burman also took it by one hand.
"It's a bit heavy. Are you sure that you can hold it by one hand?" Zhang Tie reminded him kindly when he was going to let go of it.
Burman harrumphed unwillingly. It seemed that he was unhappy about Zhang Tie's underestimation of his strength.
Seeing Burman's reaction, Zhang Tie didn't say anything. After Burman held it steadily, Zhang Tie directly let go of it.
The moment Zhang Tie loosened his grip, Burman had changed his face as he staggered and almost fell onto the ground. As he could not hold it with one hand, seeing that the heavy crossbow was going to fall onto the ground, Burman roared and hurriedly caught it with another hand. Even so, his face turned red due to excessive force. Zhang Tie could move freely with this heavy crossbow. However, the moment he took it, he felt that it was very difficult for him to walk.
"Ah, Burman …" At the sight of this, all the other young men were shocked. 'Isn't it easy for Peter to hold it? How could Burman do it so hard? Burman's strength is not small.'
"Impossible …" Burman watched Zhang Tie with a shocked look, "This … this crossbow is … over 300 kg …"
"What? Over 300 kg? It doesn't look like it. Even if it's made of steel, it would not be so heavy!" Another young man opened his mouth as he stretched out his hand, "Give it to me, let me have a try …"
When the heavy crossbow was transferred to the young man behind Burman, the young man changed his face, 'F * ck, it's really … too heavy … how could it be so heavy …'
All the other young men moved forward to have a try. All of them stared at Zhang Tie as if they had seen a ghost in the daytime.
Even Ivan, Joey, and the other youths came over curiously to see if they could lift that thing. But to them, that 300-kilogram big thing was completely beyond their ability. One of the 13 or 14-year-old youths could barely hold it, and two of them couldn't even lift it up. Even though three of them could barely lift it, it was already very strenuous.
When they thought of how Zhang Tie was able to lift this heavy item and run fast with it, they all started to admire Zhang Tie even more.
"Peter, why is it so heavy?"
Touching his nose, Zhang Tie replied, "I'm not clear about the details. After all, it's not made by me. I only know that this big guy is made of dense iron, which could only exist in the underground world. After being made of dense iron, the key bow-pieces inside this big guy could be continuously used tens of thousands of times without being weakened at all."
After hearing Zhang Tie's explanation, everybody understood it. Some young men of Kurgan village who knew how to use this heavy crossbow tried to put it on the ground and step on it. After that, they tried to pull the string using the hydraulic sliding rod device. However, even though they blushed, they still couldn't pull the string using the hydraulic sliding rod device to the end.
Watching them being so strenuous, Zhang Tie took the crossbow. He held the handle of the crossbow by one hand while pinching the hydraulic slide rod below the front end of the crossbow by the other hand. After that, he casually pulled back the bolt. With a light cracking sound and a sweet-sounding buzzing of gears, the string of this heavy crossbow was immediately pulled back.
Watching Zhang Tie, those young men of Kurgan village didn't have the competitive thought anymore …
