I stayed standing for a few second after the battle to calm my body and release the excess energy and heat within it. Afterwards a walk to the remains of the knight armored bug and started dismantling it to get the useful parts.
The part the is most valuable for the knight bugs are the pincer, it can be use to make weapons such as clubs and battle axe by the artificers and have a decent price in the market.
The two knight bug have a pretty intact pincers while the first one I have killed have a cracked pincer and it will be less valuable in the market. This loot is good harvest , because usually my I can only salvage a fee part of my prey and they are mostly damage, that is why I hold back my attack today a aim to kill the prey quickly by hitting on the it's soft flesh.
It's also help that there are only a two knights in the groups of bugs , because I sometimes get carried away while fighting and it lead to the loot becoming a pile of broken shells.
I collected a few part from the normal bugs too after I harvested the useful parts from the knights, it's just most the armor on the head part and doesn't have that value especially for a C rank hunters like me.
After getting all that I can get, I collected all the remains of the bug and buried them in the sand and then put a big stone atop of the mound.
They may be just monster with a little bit of intelligence but they are still opponents that have fell from my weapons and this can be regarded as a thanks for their parts that I looted from their dead bodies.
I pack the loot in a bundle and started walking towards the wall. This is a god hunt and it's time to get back and cash out my earnings. Im halfway in the trail when I saw a pack of wood wolves ganging up on three people.
I recognized them as the same group that I have saved from the bugs. They are standing their ground and killing some of the wolves buts they are surrounded already and can only fight in a defensive and hope that the wolves will retreat after they kill some of them,
Grr!!
but it's clearly not working because instead of retreating , the wolves is getting closer and closer to them and in a few minutes they will be overwhelmed. I knit my brow thinking if this three are not just newbies but also idiots too. Can't they just climb up the trees and bombard the the wolves with they magic or arrows, why are they facing them head on .
Roar!!
With a confuse mind I roared at the pack of wolves with a force enhancement which make it more loud and threatening, the wolves were startled started running in all directions.
Stolen novel; please report.
The three idiots also gets paralyzed with fear thinking that a more stronger beast will attack them and this dissipate any wisp of hope I them thinking that with the stamina they have left after fighting two group of monsters, they have no chance to fight back.
I walk pass them while they are paralyzed like stone statuses and their gazed land on me with a confuse faces . " What are you idiots standing there like stones" I said while chuckling a little. " The wolves are already gone I scared them so they will not come back again, they only fight when they are confident of winning, so you relax now and retreat back to wall" I said while smiling.
"T-thank you..?" The mage said not sure if to thank me or ask me how I scared the wolves to retreat. " It's alright , but next time you people try to hunt , study the monster on the field first to prevent this situation from happening again" after saying that a walk forward again and left them to regain their calm.
Hunters job is a hight risk job especially here in the filed that is closer to the ocean. That's why it confuse me that there will be a group of reckless idiots that will come here to hunt.
They appear to be like a civilians, no they are worst than civilians because even civilians have a little common sense to not fight wolves pack in a frontal assault.
" Maybe they are a bunch of rich kids that decided to hunt for fun"
I entered the gate and showed my card to the gate keeper and then payed 50 balc for the loot fee. After wards I walk to my usual route to look for the old artificer to sell my harvest.
"Old man , you there ". I shouted as I enter the shop, the shop is normal artificer shop I which there are some artifact and weapons that can be seen hanging on the wall with ridiculous prices. There are no people here yet because I came early this time and the flow of customers will be on the after noon or the evening, this is the time on where the hunters came back from there hunt and they either find place to sell their loot or to find new weapons and artifacts to help in their profession.
"I'm not deaf , you don't need to shout so loudly , you madman" said the old man artificer with a clear annoyance on his voice."What do you need " he said ," I'm here to sell my loot, this time it's on good conditions so please pay me more ,okay?" I respond with a smile "Bah, good condition my ass you always say that but it's always look like a broken ceramics when you show it" he he said with a sound of a little mocking,
" Not this time " I said with an incandescent tone " I hold back my attacks and target it's joint so it's intact" I said showing while I open the bundle on the table top to show the old man my goods.
Thud~
" Hmm, it seems your not lying it" said the old man " it's in good condition and there are no cracks on its shell , it's still fresh so the energy haven't dicipitate yet and it's have a good texture to it " he said while observing them with a clear trained eyes of an experienced artificer .
" I will buy the two for 5000 each , the broken one for 2000 and a 500 for everything else, which make it .....12500 balc" he stated plainly
" 13000" I haggled,
"12500, take it or bring it some where else"he said with a firm tone, it's clear that he will not pay a single balc more,
"Ok , jeez you really are an old miser" I complied ," You brat -, sigh just take your money and my shop already the customers are coming and your interrupting my business!!" Shout the old man , I take that as a cue and get out of the shop while laughing.
