The air was filled with the mixed smell of metal, leather, and magic potions, and from time to time you could hear the clinking sounds coming from the blacksmith's shop.

The pedestrians on the street are of all kinds, and each one seems like a character from a fantasy novel.

There were burly warriors carrying huge axes, mages in gorgeous robes holding staffs shining with magical light, and some adventurers wearing armor made of monster bones. Their attire reminded Zhang Luan of barbarians in some games.

A short but muscular dwarf passed by Zhang Luan, a few drops of beer hanging from his beard.

Not far away, an elven girl was fiddling with her longbow. Her slender fingers gently stroked the bowstring, making a slight hum.

However, Zhang Luan's appearance attracted the attention of people around him.

He was wearing strange clothes from modern times, which did not fit in with this world.

What is even more eye-catching is that he is accompanied by a cow-milk slave.

Camille's figure and cute cow ears attracted a lot of attention.

Some people looked at me with curiosity, while others looked at me with contempt.

Zhang Luan could hear whispers coming from all around him:

"Look at that weirdo. He's obviously a novice, and he's the material for the monsters to feed on."

"That cowgirl looks nice, I wonder if she's for sale."

Finally, they arrived at the Adventurer's Guild.

The guild's building was grand and ancient, with ivy growing all over the stone walls and a huge shield hanging above the gate.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the smell of alcohol, tobacco and sweat hit me in the face.

The guild hall was bustling with people, adventurers of various races gathered together, some were drinking and bragging, some were checking the task board, and some were trading equipment and materials.

Zhang Luan handed the invitation letter to the staff at the adventurer reception desk.

The other party was a middle-aged woman. She opened the wax seal of the invitation and took a look at it, and her eyes lit up.

"Are you the adventurer who is going to kill the demonized wild boar? Great, we finally have you!" The staff looked at Zhang Luan with eyes full of respect.

"Demonized wild boar?" Zhang Luan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although I don't know what this thing is, I can tell from the other party's reaction that it is definitely a guy who is not easy to mess with.

After hearing the words "demonized wild boar", the adventurers around turned their heads and cast surprised glances at Zhang Luan.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Luan.

Chapter 21 Law of the Jungle

"Hey, kid, do you know what a demonized wild boar is?" A burly man with scars all over his face walked over and looked down at Zhang Luan.

"That's a monster that even the town's knights can't deal with," another skinny, thief-like figure interrupted. "Last month, it destroyed an entire village and killed five or six teams of adventurers!"

"Oh, ordinary invitations can indeed be bought and sold at will, but buying this kind of special invitation? I'm afraid you think your life is too long!"

"It's better to leave the cow slave here. This way, when you die, we can help you take good care of her, hahahaha!"

The surrounding adventurers quickly realized from Zhang Luan's unprotected clothing and words that he was a novice. A novice who didn't even know what a demonized wild boar was! This made them even more surprised and disdainful.

The staff member said with anticipation, "Yes, your invitation is for an elite adventurer, primarily for accepting three-star and higher adventure missions. Our area has been plagued by demonized wild boars for a long time, and many adventurer teams have gone there, but none have returned! That's why we've specially issued an elite invitation. Only the most powerful adventurer teams can receive this invitation!"

She looked around excitedly, "Where are your members? Can you introduce them to us?!"

Zhang Luan coughed awkwardly, "No need to look, there are no other members, just the two of us." He pointed at Camille beside him and asked curiously, "Um...how many demonized wild boars are there?"

The staff member's expression froze instantly. "Only one!" she said unhappily, thinking to herself: This guy doesn't even know what a demonized wild boar is, and he doesn't even understand the common sense of forming an adventurer team. He probably bought the invitation letter from somewhere.

Zhang Luan didn't seem to notice the change in his attitude and continued to ask seriously, "What's the reward for completing the mission?"

The staff member resisted the urge to roll his eyes and impatiently pointed at the bounty notice board behind him, but eventually read out the contents: "The reward is a three-star adventurer certification and [Enchantment Tracking], one bottle of permanent strength potion, twenty bottles of intermediate health potions, and 500 guild points!"

She added, "[Enchantment Tracking] can be enchanted on any ranged weapon, allowing the launched ranged attack projectiles, arrows, items, or magic to adjust their direction during flight, significantly increasing the chance of success."

Zhang Luan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said firmly, "Okay, then I'll take this mission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone looked at him in disbelief, as if they were looking at a madman.

"Hahaha, kid, are you stupid?" the scarred burly man laughed. "You dare to go after a monster that even the town's knights can't handle? You, a rookie without even a weapon?"

"That's right," a short goblin next to him interrupted, "Look at your clothes. Even an ordinary wild boar would knock you away, let alone a demonized wild boar."

Zhang Luan glanced at the two men.

If it were in the past, when he had just traveled to this world and didn't understand anything, he might have chosen to endure.

but now?

There are pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles and even grenades in the warehouse. This is Zhang Luan's confidence.

Even the orc who was more than three meters tall was shot in the head. Zhang Luan was naturally not at all panicked when dealing with the big human in front of him.

Before Zhang Luan could speak, Camille suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Zhang Luan.

"Don't underestimate my master!" Although Camille felt a little flustered in the face of so many adventurers, his tone was firm, "My master will definitely complete the mission!"

When the adventurers saw this, the mockery on their faces became even more intense:

"Hahaha, look, even his cow mother came out to speak for him!"

"Boy, if you ask me, you should leave this mission to a real warrior. It would be better for you to take your cow mother to milk the cows."

The last sentence angered Zhang Luan. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He turned around and asked the staff:

"Is it illegal to fight here?"

"As long as no one is killed, it's not illegal!" the staff member replied, but she paused and continued to remind, "But I advise you to be patient. Scar is not someone you can easily mess with!"

"What? This brat wants to challenge me in a one-on-one duel? Hahaha, did I hear it right?"

Scar laughed even more wantonly, his voice full of contempt.

However, his actions were not ambiguous at all.

He slowly put on a pair of tiger-thorn boxing gloves that shone with a cold light, and the metal spikes shone coldly in the sunlight.

Although he was mocking Zhang Luan on the surface, a hint of vigilance flashed in Scar's eyes.

He was ready to strike first, just waiting for Zhang Luan to turn around so that he could teach this ignorant rookie a lesson he would never forget.

The adventurers around noticed Scar's actions, but no one spoke out to warn him.

They exchanged knowing glances, as if to say: This is the adventurer's

Chapter 20

In this world, the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive.

After all, the monsters and plunderers in the wild will not follow any rules or morals.

"Remember, kid, the scar on your face was left by me!"

Scar grinned fiercely and punched Zhang Luan in the face. His fist whistled like the wind, as if it was tearing the air apart.

However, at this critical moment——

boom!

A deafening roar exploded through the guild hall, the echo bouncing back and forth off the stone walls.

Everyone was startled by the sudden loud noise, and the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, as if time had stopped.

Scar fell to the ground in pain, screaming miserably.

Blood oozes out from his thigh, quickly forming a glaring red pool on the floor.

Zhang Luan slowly squatted down with a cold smile on his face.

He patted Scar's shoulder disdainfully, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Remember, the scar on your leg was left by me!"

After saying that, he pulled up Camille, who had an admiring expression on her face, and left the Adventurer's Guild without looking back.

Camille's chest rose and fell with her rapid breathing, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

It was not until Zhang Luan's figure disappeared from the doorway for a while that the people around him woke up from their dreams and started talking.

"What just happened?"

"It was too fast, I couldn't see it clearly!"

"Is it magic? Scar is no pushover, how could he be defeated with just one move?"

"Look at his leg armor. It's made of maggot beetle shells, as strong as steel, and yet it was punched right through!"

"It's just a bloody hole, a magic I've never seen before!"

"No wonder this guy doesn't have armor, he's actually an expert!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little more respect for Zhang Luan.

This world follows the law of the jungle.

If you don't have the strength, even if you are kind to others, others will only think that you are easy to bully and weak.

But if you demonstrate strong strength and then show kindness, it will be interpreted as being humble and hidden...

In short, in this world, weakness is the original sin.

Chapter 22 Cut off the beard

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Zhang Luan felt surprisingly calm.

The sun shone on his face and the breeze blew through his hair, as if the bloody scene just now had never happened.

If it were before, if he shot someone in the thigh and saw the blood flowing out, he would definitely be extremely nervous and might even vomit.

But since he killed those orcs in one breath, Zhang Luan seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

His entire mentality and emotional stability were elevated to a new level. He felt as if he had been reborn, a completely different person.

"This map... is too sloppy!"

Zhang Luan opened the mission map given by the staff and looked at it carefully with a frown.

The drawing was very sloppily done, with a simple circle in the center representing a town, which should be Arcadia.

There is a small square in the lower left corner with a cross on it, which must be the mission location.

A crooked line connects two points, which must be a road.

There were random, unevenly proportioned triangles and circles scribbled on either side, probably representing mountains and woods. The whole map looked like a child's scribble.

"Don't all maps look like this?"

Camille blinked her big eyes and said curiously.

Her eyelashes are long and thick, which makes her look particularly charming in the sunlight.

Zhang Luan shook his head helplessly and continued, "Uh... okay, is there any quick way to get there? Like, a carriage or something?"

Camille tilted his head, thinking for a moment, then excitedly said, "We have teleportation stones! There are teleportation stones from town to village. You can use them by purchasing magic crystals. There are only two of us, so this is more cost-effective than renting a carriage!"

"It can also be teleported over long distances? That's great!" Zhang Luan's eyes lit up and he nodded.

Under Camille's guidance, the two first went to the magic house and bought a bag of magic crystals.

The magic crystal is crystal clear, sparkling with colorful light in the sun, as if it contains infinite energy.

Then they came to the central square of the town.

There stands a huge red crystal here, three stories high, emitting a faint red light.

The ground is covered with intricate patterns and symbols, which looks mysterious and solemn.

The ground is divided into several different areas, each marked with the name of a different village.

The square is bustling with people coming and going.

From time to time, merchants and adventurers would stand in a certain area, and then suddenly turn into a beam of light and disappear on the spot.

The scene was like a scene in a game, which amazed Zhang Luan.

"It should be here. Just put in a magic crystal!"

Camille carefully placed a crystal clear magic crystal into the groove in the ground.

Suddenly, the huge red crystal vibrated slightly and emitted a low humming sound.
