Chapter 9 Shaar’s “part-time job”

Translator: Tchu, Scar

Lying on the ground with his face up, Shaar’s chest fluctuated heavily and he was out of breath. His heartbeat could be mistaken as a drum, both his hands and feet felt weak and sweat was oozing out his whole body.

After resting for a short while, Shaar slowly sat up while his back wounds started to affect him. The pain was so intense that it almost took away his breath. Turning his head, he looked at the dead wolf whose body became stiff by now. Its buttocks were lifted a bit and the wooden stick was still sticking out of its anus.

“Hahahaha!” Shaar began to laugh wildly: “You want to eat me? Hmpf! I am destined to become the continents strongest magical beast hunter, how could I die here!”

Pausing for a while, his face revealed a hint of his ruthless nature: “Since you wanted to eat me, today I will eat you.”

Finishing his sentence, he felt his strength slipping away and struggled few times to stand up. Unable to get up by himself, he opened his mouth and call out: “Hey! Pitiful creature, are you dead? I will forgive you for not helping me in that fight a moment ago, but could you at least give me a hand now?”

Hidden behind a pile of rotten trunks, a small head peeked out after hearing his shout. The pitiful creature was dead frightened and her whole face was pale. Seeing that Shaar was alive, she delightfully cried out in joy and ran to Shaar’s side.

“Don’t pull me up yet …… in my bag there are some herbal medicine. Go take it and help me apply it ……I cannot reach the wound on my back.”

Shaar powerlessly waved his hand.

Not expecting the outcome, he quickly regretted asking this fellow for help.

From the look of it, this pitiful creature never helped a human being bandage a wound before. It took her long time until she finally managed to wrap a piece of cloth around Shaar’s body and it was badly patched up.

“Hey, the knot you tied around my chest, what kind of knot is that?”

“Eh, it’s there to keep the cloth together.”

“I know for what purpose it was, but that grip is quite strange, what is this thing? Tying it this complicated is wasting a lot of cloths.”

“……It’s a butterfly knot.”

“A butterfly knot? Is it useful?”

“Eh……it looks pretty.”

“…………”

Coupled with the sudden change of events, they are now both wounded and could only rest in this place.

Resting for half a day, Shaar finally restored enough strength. Although somewhat annoyed that the pitiful creature wasted so much clothes, but as soon as he saw the wolf corpse nearby he quickly beamed with joy.

“Hahaha, I am rich, I am rich!” Using both his hands and feet, Shaar crawled towards it. He looked so excited that it looked like he would start hugging and kissing the wolf corpse.

Although he secretly hunted 2-3 magical beasts before, they were mostly low-level beast without much danger. Once he caught a fire tree fox, by using traps.

In front of his laid a Bloodthirsty Great Wolf and from the look of its body size, it was a grown specimen. Its body was imposing and the fur shiny.

Despite that a Bloodthirsty Great Wolf was only a low-level magical beast, this specimen was actually a well wanted product. First of all, Shaar did not cut off the wolf’ head this time and the wolf did not suffered any major damages. The wolf skin was complete and as long he peeled it well, he could sell it for several silver coins in Primal Wildfire Town!

Several silver coins were enough for Shaar to eat and drink for 1-2 months.

Furthermore the Wolf bones were also of value. Generally speaking, the bones of Bloodthirsty Great Wolf were not necessarily valuable. Nevertheless, this specimen that Shaar killed was a strong and healthy full grown Great Wolf. The magical affinity of Bloodthirsty Great Wolf was actually earth type magic. Its bones could be used to create earth type magic spells and some shops were willing to purchase the wolf bone.

With everything considered, if he could carry back this wolf, if luck wishes and he could sell the bones, he could gain 7-8 silver coins in total.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Shaar was considering to simply carrying this fellow back to Primal Wildfire town and not taking the risk anymore catching a Ferocious Lion cubs. By selling the wolf skin, the money was enough to pay back the prepayment of the shop in Black Alley. The remaining money could be lived on for 2-3 months and also buy a genuine sword. Perhaps with luck, he could acquire a decent leather amour with remaining money.

Looking at Shaar Thunder jumping around from joy, the pitiful creature could not quite understand and did not agree with him.

A hillbilly will always be a hillbilly. It was just a wolf corpse, what was so valuable to be so excited about?

Holding the dead wolf’s body while dancing around, Shaar was so excited, that it began to affect his wounds. While seeing him both smiling and crying in pain, that pitiful creature could not help herself but to start pitying this fellow a bit.

“Hey ……” The pitiful creature shouted. When Shaar turned his head around, the pitiful creature became somewhat flushed in her face: “Tha ……Thank you, for saving me.”

“No need to thank me. I did not only do it to save you, but also to save myself – If I did not kill it, I would be finished by now.” Shaar waved his hand.

Seeing his carefree attitude made the pitiful creature seeing Shaar in a more favourable light and she answered with a smile: “I now believe a bit that you are actually an actual magical beast hunter.”

“Why?”

“Your strength is quite big.” The pitiful creature’s face suddenly reddened and she tried to change the topic with some random hand gestures: “I know that the strength of a Bloodthirsty Great Wolf is huge, but you actually managed to overwhelm it. Also, when you went all out, your aura was very intimidating.”
