Chapter 73 - Jeremy Wont Do A Thankless Job (1/2)
One hour later...
The dawn had finally come as the darkness in the sky receded bit by bit...
Currently, Jeremy was roaming in the brightening winter forest with his face looked quite depressed.
The reason?
The wolves... every wolf avoided Jeremy whenever they saw even a shadow of the black-cloaked human, no wolf stayed, as they would run as fast as they could away from the wolf slaughterer.
It appeared that when the System had notified him about the wolf slaughterer of the great-something tribe, it also caused the wolves within the winter forest to be afraid of him.
As a result, from the aimless wander since an hour ago, Jeremy had killed only three wolves, no more, no less.
Even when he had tortured the three pitiful wolves to call forth their comrades and packs, it was utterly useless. No wolf came...
That's why Jeremy looked very depressed right now...
His second priority about gathering more SP had finally come to an eventual end.
*Fwuuu...*
'If I didn't kill that kobold but left him half-dead instead, would those wolves still run away from me?'
'Well...'
'Whatever... I should have got more than ten thousand SP anyway. It should be enough to buy at least two skills.'
Upon thinking so, Jeremy could only shake his head slightly in regret.
The reason for his regret was simple...
Because the easy-difficulty trial gave him more than 13,000 SP because Jeremy had cleared every nook and cranny within the trial, causing him to earn the maximum amount possible from the said trial.
But this time...
There were still almost half of the wolves left, which meant more than 10,000 SP was waiting to be harvested by Jeremy.
The amount he missed was almost the same as the entire easy trial's amount of SP...
However, Jeremy couldn't waste days or even months to hunt those cowardly wolves within this 80 square miles winter forest, could he?
It was almost a thankless job even for the greedy Jeremy himself...
'Those people in the tutorial chamber should be facing the 7th wave soon. If I hurry back, I might make it in time and get some SP from killing the outlanders.' Jeremy thought to himself ponderingly...
Afterward, Jeremy walked back in the brick house's direction.
It was finally time for him to go out of this somewhat cold place...
...
Inside the Tutorial Chamber...
Currently, there was a bloody battle between two sides ongoing here...
The battles took place in front of the two passageways, with one side comprised of only humans, while another side consisted of many races, which were skeleton soldiers, imps, wolves, and even some goblins.
Meanwhile, every human combatant wore sturdy bronze and steel armors while carrying various common ranked weapons. However, the outlanders also didn't lose out as skeleton soldiers, imps, and goblins also wore good-quality armor and held sharp weapons in their hands.
Well, two or three goblins even had bows within their hands, aiming towards humans constantly.
Regarding the number of the two sides, the outlanders clearly outnumbered the humans for around 3 to 1.
As a result, humans could only defend and fight against the outlanders passively while using various traps and barricades to their advantage.
Despite the fact that they were utilizing their sharp and solid hand-made traps and barricades, those outlanders still found some gaps to give a decent melee struggle with humans.
The life-and-death fight fell into a stalemate...
At this time, in front of the left passageway...
*Thump* *Thump*
”Ah, fucking shit goblins.”
Joshua cursed at the two goblins, whom were using their maces to strike his shield incessantly.
Then he turned his turned and shouted towards someone on his left side,
”Bob! Kill this one for me.”
”Die bitch, die!!”
Upon seeing that Bob, who was the only one around him with a long weapon, was busily attacking another goblin in front of him, Joshua could only grit his teeth and received another two attacks from the goblins.
*Thump* *Thump*
”Damn it.” Joshua cursed at the goblins.
