Durin's Diary

Chapter 556 Searching and searching
I don’t want to listen, it’s just a deaf man chanting scriptures.

After breakfast, Du Lin asked the three girls about their itinerary for the day.

Anta was going to the academy because she had been responsible for teaching arcane classes to the boarding students for a week starting yesterday.

The tutoring is very rigorous and free for students. Anyone who wants to come can attend. At the same time, the Ring of Truth will also give a certain amount of tutoring fees to every teacher who comes to the school.

Reed and Lan had nothing to do, so they planned to go to the Everburning Nest to say hello to Durin's mother, and then wanted to find Tanya to see how her training was going.

Originally, they wanted to go find Melinda, but considering that the intensity of natural selection on her side was at its maximum, and the two of them together were not as strong as Melinda, the little idiot decided not to go and cause trouble for her.

"It's okay. I'll take you to see Melinda." Du Lin said, "Do you know where she is?"

"She gave us the coordinates for this camp, east of the Great Glade."

"Okay, dear, you go teach the children, and I'll take Lid and Lan En out to play." Du Lin said goodbye to Anta who had already opened the portal.

"Have fun! If Melinda is done with her work, bring her back and let her rest for two months. The New Year is almost here, so don't run around outside." Anta said, then came to Du Lin and kissed him: "Go ahead, have fun."

Du Lin watched the girl leave, then re-entered the coordinates into her portal and took the girls over.

………………

Oh my god, what's going on?

As soon as Du Lin walked through the door, he reached out and picked up a different species of dire wolf that was about the same size as a wolf. The latter was chasing a half-grown hunter. Du Lin caught the latter with one hand, and before the hunter could react, Du Lin twisted his neck.

Du Lin rolled his long tail and rolled Reed and Lan En, who had followed him, back to his front.

"What's going on?" Du Lin took out a gun and gave it to the two girls, while asking the frightened boy lying on the ground.

"I don't know! Just now, a dozen or so alien dire wolves rushed into the camp and bit everyone they saw!" Although the boy didn't know Du Lin, he knew that the alien dire wolf's neck could be broken by one hand to save him, so it couldn't be an enemy. "Thank you! Mr. Grassland Elf! You saved me, please save my friends quickly!"

"No problem." After Du Lin finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed. Several rays streaked across the air, and the three alien dire wolves rushing towards him turned directly into burning pillars of fire.

The remaining alien dire wolf was trying to escape by climbing over the wall. Du Lin reached out and grabbed the dog, and it was pulled down by Du Lin.

After breaking its neck, Du Lin looked at the child and asked, "Where is Melinda?"

"The Great Hunter isn't here! She's gone with a team of hunters to ambush the Mother of the Alien Dire Wolf!"

After hearing this, Du Lin finally understood - it turned out that the hunter and the alien dire wolf sympathized with each other and decided to switch homes.

It's really quite weedy.

Well, Du Lin stood up, gathering the survivors while quickly treating the wounded - this time Du Lin came, even if someone was bitten on the neck, as long as there was still a breath, Du Lin would pull the person back.

In the end, none of the seven seriously injured soldiers died. The most seriously injured one lost a leg and an arm. The hole in his neck was patched by Du Lin, so although he lost a lot of blood, he was still alive and his lost limbs could be restored.

The camp was reinforced with magic and a few ancient trees were used as guards. The alien dire wolves that were still surrounding the camp and unwilling to leave saw that there was no hope of revenge, so they had no choice but to slip away. It was okay for them to refuse to leave. Du Lin went out for a walk and peeled off three skins. They were all smooth and juicy good skins. It was just right to make a few leather blankets for his mother and brothers and sisters. It would be a good thing to cover their legs and feet in the winter.

In the afternoon, Melinda returned with the team. The two hunters were carrying a huge alien dire wolf, which was a great success. I heard that it was better to come to Dulin sooner rather than later. They unexpectedly interrupted the alien dire wolf's home exchange. Melinda was very happy: "If it weren't for you today, our victory would not be complete."

"You have to thank these two silly girls. They said they wanted to see you." Du Lin patted Lid and Lan En's little heads, then pointed at the female wolf: "How could this thing grow so big?"

"The aliens are getting even weirder." Melinda sighed and shook her head. "For the past month or so, I've been battling this pack of wolves in this forest. Today, I finally killed her. That bastard even bit me."

After saying that, Melinda took off her gloves and let Du Lin see the scars on her palms that penetrated the center of her hands.

"But she didn't get what she wanted. My wrist blade pierced through her brain through her mouth, and this intact big skin is my trophy." Having said that, Melinda wanted to put her gloves back on.

Du Lin grabbed her hand and used a surgical technique to examine her wound: "There's adhesion. I need to help you deal with it."

After saying this, Du Lin pulled out a scalpel from the space and cut the sutures of the wound. Then, in front of the healers who had rushed out, he used a complete treatment to teach them how to treat such deep wounds: "Healing is a very profound craft that requires a lot of practice and experience. For many surgeries, you can use animals to gain experience, such as the Sharo beast."

"Isn't that Sharomon very pitiful?" Melinda said subconsciously, and then laughed a little embarrassedly: "Uh, no, this is a good way to help everyone."

Durin stroked the silly rabbit's head dotingly. "It's okay. I know you mean well. You don't want your prey to suffer, but someone has to sacrifice their life. So it's you, Sharomon."

The hunters who were watching the fun on the side all laughed.

"The great hunter is never vague when doing great things. A little confusion makes him appear even more innocent." An old hunter sighed with a smile.

"By the way, old sir, you are still here at such an old age." Du Lin asked with a smile.

"I brought my grandchildren here to see the world. They are two of the seven children you saved. If I hadn't met you today, I would have lost them." The old man sighed.

"If you lose it, will you regret it?" Du Lin asked this question for some unknown reason.

"Of course I regret it, but there's not much difference between hunter and prey. There were seventeen children in my generation, but only my two younger brothers and I made it to this age. Of my twenty-three grandchildren, seventeen have passed the trials and become true hunters. It's your new muskets, sir, that give us hunters a better chance of survival." At this point, the old man sighed, "But I still feel a lingering fear. You gave us better weapons, but I failed to teach you. We humans are superior to beasts and alien species because we understand teamwork. The performance of the children in camp today has disappointed us old men."

"Then educate them well. Life comes into this world knowing nothing, and we must teach them how to protect everyone who should be protected." After saying that, Du Lin smiled and handed the old man a box of cigarettes.

"Stop smoking cheap tobacco and try some good ones. Repair your lungs, live longer, and raise more outstanding hunters."

"Thank you."

The old hunter took the cigarette box, but he did not keep it to himself. Instead, he opened it, took a cigarette himself, and then handed the cigarette box to his old friend beside him.

So the box of cigarettes went around in circles.

Finally, the boy on the other side of the old hunter took the last cigarette in the box.

Du Lin smiled and lit the fire for everyone with his own hands.

We have all carried guns together, hunted alien species together, and faced the enemies of civilization together. Come, I toast to you all.
