PNB Chapter 10 Fighting the Werewolves
Chapter 10 Fighting the Werewolves
Lin Wei dismounted and roared, "This is a werewolf? Damn thing, how dare it harm my residents!"
Lin Wei found a bungalow, quickly climbed onto the roof, steadyed himself, and drew his bow.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three spiraling arrows were successfully fired, heading straight for the werewolf's claws. Lin Wei wanted to tell him that he could escape, but he had to stay behind.
One arrow missed, but the other two struck the wolf's claws squarely.
The werewolf staggered from the blow, scratching its paws in pain as it looked at Lin Wei.
One of the civilians was lucky enough to fall, screaming and running away after landing. The werewolf, its eyes bloodshot, locked onto Lin Wei and pounced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Good thing they came! A werewolf over four meters tall is quite visually striking!"
This was also Lin Wei's first time fighting against a supernatural being, so he forced himself to remain calm and continued shooting arrows.
"One arrow, two arrows... seven arrows."
The werewolf was right in front of him, riddled with seven arrows, bleeding profusely, and its movement speed was significantly reduced. It wished it could swallow Lin Wei whole.
"This last arrow will send you to the Western Paradise."
Lin Wei's arm was already covered by Lion's Fury. He pulled the bowstring taut and shot it towards the werewolf's gaping maw.
"call!"
The arrow pierced the werewolf's mouth at incredible speed, exited through its throat, and then shot into its abdomen.
"It's a pity the bow isn't strong enough; we need to get a better one. The arrowhead can still be sharpened."
Lin Wei used all his strength in this attack, and he was quite satisfied with its power.
Lin Wei looked at the severely injured werewolf and began to fight him hand-to-hand on the rooftop, exchanging claws and punches in a life-or-death struggle.
Seeing the battlefield, Roti and the others who had come along exclaimed in admiration.
The leaders exclaimed, "Our Chengshi territory finally has someone capable of dealing with extraordinary creatures!"
It didn't take long for Lin Wei to completely kill the werewolf who had lost too much blood, cut off its head, and bring it back to the Earl's castle along with its body.
After rushing back to the castle, Lin Wei began to summarize his combat experience.
"Remote methods are very important, otherwise this werewolf won't be so easy to take down."
"The werewolf's weakness is in its throat; that's its most vulnerable spot."
"More importantly, it seems that I gain experience points faster when fighting supernatural beings."
Lin Wei looked at the deep blue surface and saw that his breathing technique experience points and spiral arrow technique experience points had increased significantly, and made a judgment.
"In the future, when we encounter extraordinary creatures, we must find a way to fight them while ensuring our safety. This will allow us to improve faster."
Lin Wei also had Celia appease the residents of Silver Birch Town and send them some supplies. As for the archery technique they had been preparing to conceal, it seemed to have been exposed immediately.
Lin Wei simply ordered Roti to forge the great bow and arrows to the highest standards in the territory, as he needed a dedicated team of blacksmiths.
Roti happily went to contact the blacksmith. He was also very excited that his family's "Spiral Arrow Technique" could shine in the hands of the lord.
As for the werewolf's corpse, Lin Wei planned to store it for the time being, in case it came in handy later. Both the werewolf's fangs and claws were indestructible and extremely hard.
It's just that there's no forging technology in the territory, otherwise Lin Wei would have wanted to forge a spiked club as a weapon.
Lin Wei also noticed that since he defeated the werewolf, the fog on one side of the Rubik's Cube in his mind had begun to dissipate, revealing a corner of bewitching red.
"This red face is a bit strange...it's probably related to these extraordinary creatures."
Lin Wei muttered to himself.
Lin Wei gained a lot from this battle and also figured out his own strength level.
With the combination of third-level breathing techniques and second-level archery skills, he was among the best in the training of knights.
After eating a cow and five chickens, Lin Wei went back to the basement to start grinding experience points.
……
Three months passed quickly, and it was June again for the Wind and Flower Festival. Lin Wei had traveled through a whole year.
During this period, Lin Wei continued to spend his time in the basement, and there were no reports of werewolves capturing residents within the territory.
It is worth mentioning that a month ago, the Kingdom of Atlantis did indeed send ministers to its territory to collect military expenses.
Lin Wei had no other ideas and honestly paid a quarter's worth of territory tax as the first installment of military expenses.
He learned that this was also the practice of most earls: they would only pay money and not send troops, hoping to delay as long as possible.
Barons, whose status is below that of earls, do not have this option; they have to pay the majority of their wealth and soldiers.
Therefore, news of barons going bankrupt throughout the kingdom was frequently heard, and some barons even began to wander around, filled with resentment.
After bankruptcy, the hereditary territory will naturally be reclaimed by the kingdom.
Looking at the territory revenue sent by Celia, Lin Wei exclaimed, "Frugality is truly a fine tradition. I actually think that military expenses only require one quarter's worth of taxes, which seems too cheap?"
"This is the benefit of cultivation. I don't have many worldly desires, so I can eat a lot, but I don't spend money on anything else."
In the old Earl's era, the eldest brother Victor and the second brother Simon were both big spenders. They were particular about their every move and liked to collect all kinds of jewelry and beauties, so the territory's income was often in the red.
"We need to find an opportunity to sell their jewelry and replenish our coffers."
Lin Wei hopes that the world will always remain peaceful like this, that no one will bother him, and that he can enjoy the tranquility of life.
He opened the dark blue face of the Rubik's Cube.

【Chengshi Breathing Method: Level 3 (527/3000)】
Spiral Arrow Technique: Tier 2 (850/1000)
"Advancing in breathing techniques is still a long way off. The total amount of experience points required has doubled, so the progress is slow."
"My archery skills do need to be improved. I'll focus on improving them more in the future."
Lin Wei muttered to himself.
As usual, after eating a cow, he pushed open the basement door.
Lin Wei was greeted neatly at the basement door by his trusted confidant Ham, the future head butler Celia, and several burly leaders including Roth.
They were all used to Lin Wei's bizarre behavior of only appearing once every three months. Each time he showed up, it was always at the perfect time, right on a holiday.
Roti presented a fine iron bow.
The bowstring was made of the finest snake sinew, and the arrows were meticulously ground by blacksmiths to achieve the best penetrating power—this was Lin Wei's requirement.
Lin Wei nodded: "Not bad. Its overall strength is 30% higher than the one I used before. It's also the limit for the territory. Let's call it the Serpent Tendon Bow."
"If we encounter a talented blacksmith, we can allocate more resources to him."
Improving productivity is not something that can be done overnight; the collection of materials and the training of blacksmiths are both difficult tasks.
Ham reported on the security situation near the castle. These residents were all considered to be within the second ring road, which Lin Wei was quite concerned about.
The situation remains stable and improving.
Celia frowned and handed over a new letter, again from Earl Heron and Earl Grizzly Bear.
"What exactly are these two old guys up to?"
After reading it, Lin Wei fell into deep thought.
