60 Boar Head, Human Body

Xiao Wei brought a shirt from Wuzu to Lu Chen.
However, even though it was called a shirt, it was actually still made of animal skin. But it wasn’t any ordinary animal skin.
It was a red cloak. Looking at it alone, he felt a burning heat coming from it,
The Fire Bull’s skin was really made into an armor.
That’s right. Instead of calling it a shirt or a cloak, it was actually an armor.
While he was hunting the Fire Bull, the one thing that has his attention was its impenetrable skin.
Wearing this cloak is about the same as the defense of wearing a metal armor. On top of it, the Fire Bull was able to release fire from it. Perhaps, it can also deflect the Evils’ attacks.
After the Fire Bull died, its skin didn’t cool down. Instead, as long as it was under the sun, it would be able to absorb heat into it all the time.
Lu Chen has a feeling that the heat might be able to help him against the Evil’s cold breath.
Hence, after Lu Chen brought the Fire Bull back, he specifically requested Wuzu to make an armor for him out of the skin, which was the red cloak.
He picked the red cloak from Xiao Wei and tried to tear it but it remained strong intact. Lu Chen couldn’t help but nod satisfyingly.
Very well, its defense is still here.
Lu Chen immediately wear on the red cloak.
As he wore it, a warmth filled his body and that made him smile happier.
My Constitution is high, in addition to the Fire Bull Cloak, I will be much safer from now on.
Although Lu Chen’s class was the high-attack, high-agility Swordsman, there was one thing Lu Chen understood from the battles.
The Evils are different from humans. Their powers are strange and peculiar. Strength and Agility are not much useful against them. The most important point is to have a high defense and strong body.
Now, the Fire Bull Cloak has increased his defense and made him safer. Of course Lu Chen was happier.
He moved his body and smiled satisfyingly when he felt the cloak was perfectly fitting.
After that, he left toward the gathering point with the herbal soups and his sword.
“Be careful, Master.”
While he was moving out, the girls in the courtyard have greeted him, making him feel like a wealthy man.
However, the feeling stopped right after he left his house.
When he walked out of his house, Lu Chen clearly saw many adult barbarians with weapons moving toward the gathering point.
This was the Wild Bull Village’s way of protecting itself. After losing contact with three villages around it, the Wild Bull Village would never be able to remain calm as before anymore.
Right now, all the adult male barbarians have received the call to join the night patrols. The whole village was mobilized in defense.
Thankfully, help from the Royal Court will arrive tomorrow. Otherwise, the Wild Bull Village will not last for long if we have to hunt in the day and patrol at night.
He shook his head while moving to his team.
Right now, Lu Chen’s patrol team was no longer the two barbarians anymore. He now has 30 barbarians under his command.
All of them were older than him but they have greeted him respectfully when they saw him.
At the same time, someone has walked up and took over the jars in his hands.
Then, Lu Chen stood empty-handed and gathered with the rest of the villagers in the plaza, they listened to Wuzu’s warnings and advices before heading out.
“Ah’Chen, you must be careful. If you see an Evil, don’t go in alone. Wait for the rest and gang up together.”
Before they left, Wuzu specifically told Lu Chen again, which Lu Chen nodded without changing his thoughts.
If I can, I don’t want to face the Evils alone too. But if I don’t do it on my own, the Mastery Points awarded to me will greatly reduce. So I’m sorry, Wuzu.
Although he was feeling apologetic, he still planned to follow his own plan as he didn’t want to lessen his Master Points.
He talked to Wuzu for another few more moments and left with his team.
After they left to patrol, Lu Chen ordered them to do their patrol duties while he looked for an empty spot nearby just like the past few days.
He placed the jars on the side and started training his sword skill again.
It wasn’t right for him to do this, but as the culture of the barbarians dictated, the strong has special rights.
While he was training, he was also thinking randomly.
I wonder what kind of help will arrive from the Royal Court? Will they be Barbarian Body Warriors or Barbarian Bone Warriors? Or even stronger experts? I wonder if they will be nice people to communicate?
While he was thinking, a sound of horn suddenly came from the side.
Lu Chen wasn’t surprised to hear the horn. After all, he has heard it too many times over the past few days.
In fact, these Evils that have entered the totem pillar’s protection were he biggest contributors to Lu Chen’s Mastery Points.
Without any hesitation, he held his metal sword and rushed to the scene.
“Get away, let me do it!”
“Don’t do it. The Evil is strong, just protect yourselves!”
…
From far, Lu Chen has shouted at the barbarians. He was afraid their involvement in the battle would reduce his Mastery Points.
Hence, he has ordered them to step back for his own benefits.
However, the barbarians have no idea about the system he has and also the Mastery Points.
In their eyes, Lu Chen was only trying to take on the responsibility because he didn’t want them to get hurt in the battles.
The beautiful misunderstanding brought to another surge in Lu Chen’s reputation in the village.
“Master Ah’Chen, we are safe.”
“I’m so lucky to join this patrol team. I heard from the rest, there were already casualties in the other teams.”
“That’s for sure. Master Ah’Chen has a kind soul, he is always in the forefront of the battle. But the other masters are not so, they won’t let us watch on the back.”
“Joining this team is the only right choice I’ve made in my entire life.”
“Let me tell you this, before his awakening, I was best friend with Ah’Chen. The moment he heard I have joined the night patrol, he immediately had me in his team…”
….
The ordinary barbarians have always had fear toward the Evils. After all, the Evils’ powers were way too peculiar.
Not to mention that a lot of them have only started joining the night patrol because of the Shadow Realm’s appearance. As it was their first time, it was only natural they would fear the Evils even more.
However, the same fear couldn’t be seen in Lu Chen’s patrol team.
It wasn’t because they were not afraid of the Evils, but they have more confidence in Lu Chen.
After all, Lu Chen have warned them strictly to call for help when they saw an Evil. They wouldn’t have to join in the battle.
Since they were not required to join the battle and the Evils would be taken care of by Lu Chen, of course their fear would greatly reduce.
Especially after they saw him killing the Evils a few times on his own, their fear toward the Evils have greatly reduced and they respected and admired him even more.
As the center of attention, Lu Chen arrived at the scene.
When he was getting close to the battlefield, he saw the Evil’s look.
This time, the Evil was in the material form. He looked carefully and discovered that it was a two-meter tall, 300 kilograms creature with a human body but a boar’s head.
It was filthy and covered with stains of blood all over its body. Some javelins and arrows have pierced into its back, clearly, the barbarians have tried to attack it before Lu Chen arrives.
However, even with the weapons on its back, its movements weren’t affected at all.
It didn’t even try to get the weapons out of its body but continued to move around.
However, although the creature was looking horrible almost like in the horror movies, Lu Chen’s attention was not on the creature itself.
Lu Chen wasn’t an idiot. The Shadow Realm has proven to be true and Lu Chen has found out the similarities from the Evils he has met before.
Lu Chen inferred that the Shadow Realm nearby the village was one filled with household equipment. Hence, the Evils in it were mostly household items that have turned Evils.
Hence, in Lu Chen’s understanding, this Evil was like the black umbrella he has met. The horrible-looking creature was just a puppet, the Evil should just be a household item.
As he thought, Lu Chen quickly locked his eyes on the chopping knife in the creature’s hand.
It was an ordinary chopping knife, even a little rusty. But it was the knife that when Lu Chen looked at it, a killing intent couldn’t help but rise in him.
This chopping knife is surely not ordinary!
