The extras do not affect the overall plot, they are just supplements to the worldview. You can understand that this is me paving the way for my next book. Of course, the extra is not a daily update, it is independent.
"I will kill you! Kill you! Your soul is only worthy of burning in hell! I will crush your bones inch by inch! I will cut your flesh and blood layer by layer with a knife. Scrape it off!”
“No! Please let me go. I know I’m wrong.”
Stern was going crazy alone in a wilderness. He would issue the most vicious curses to the mountains in the distance, and then he would kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy. The equipment on his body was very old, the helmet was full of dents and cracks, and the armor on his body could be described as junk.
Stern’s left sleeve fluttered with his movements, and he made large gestures with his remaining right hand. Both legs were directly disabled. The left leg was severed from the middle of the calf, and the right leg disappeared directly from the root of the thigh. The reason why Stern can still stand now is because his skillful hands made him a pair of prosthetic limbs.
His weapons were scattered around him. When he was angry, he would pick up the weapon and point it at the mountain in the distance. When begging for mercy, he would just throw the weapon aside and kneel on the ground and kowtow.
Bullock watched with interest from a high altitude this crazy human being in the wilderness, flapped his dragon wings and slowly fell down.
Stern, who was now kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the distant mountains to beg for mercy, noticed the shadow on the ground. He looked up in a daze, with tears still on his face.
"Dragon... ancient dragon..." Stern swallowed his saliva and stared at the slowly growing figure in the sky with wide eyes in disbelief. He didn't run away or pick up a weapon, he just stood there and watched Bullock fall in front of him.
Brock tilted his head and looked at Stern, and the dragon's tail began to swing slightly due to the change in mood. This was the first time he saw a human being who didn't run away or cry when he met him.
Stern's condition is very bad, not only his physical condition, but also his mental condition is even worse. Those eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and tears, hatred and fear coexisted in them, and the corners of his mouth were twitching. But this wasn't caused by Bullock, it was Stern's own mental state.
Perhaps it was the shock of seeing Gu Long, or perhaps he simply wanted to find a living creature to talk to, but Stern's eyes became a little clearer. He changed from a kneeling position to a sitting position, using his remaining right hand to support the ground, and his two prosthetic limbs were placed on the ground.
"You...won't kill me?" Stern said calmly. After finishing speaking, he even smiled, as if he was laughing at himself.
"Why kill? Although you humans are very interested in hunting our dragons, you didn't take action against me." Bullock answered Stern's question. He was mainly curious.Why does this human being become such a crazy state?
Although the equipment on Stern's body is very poor, the fact that a disabled human being appears here alone represents his special status. You know, this is the habitat of Lupus, the "World Wolf".
"I'm curious about how you became like this. Although I haven't met many humans, it's obviously not normal for you to be like this." Bullock was very curious about this human's experience. In his eyes, he is just a very weak creature, but being weak does not mean there is something wrong with his brain.
"Are you curious about my experience?" Stern waved his hand and relaxed. He had not seen any living creatures for a month, and he was talking to an ancient dragon. . Just talk. As for why the ancient dragon could speak human language, Stern didn't want to know.
"Okay, just listen to a short story." Stern began to tell his experience, and he gradually calmed down as he was caught up in his memories.
Stern is an adventurer, just like the story depicts. There are many such people on this continent, because the area actually controlled by the human kingdom is not large, and there are often countless treasures in unknown lands.
Maybe it’s the relics of the previous dynasty, maybe it’s some rare material, or it could be some other adventure. Many people who can't survive choose to make a desperate move and become adventurers. Stern is one of them.
But before that, Stern was a scavenger, to put it nicely, of course. To put it bluntly, Stern is a refugee, with no land, no property, and no dignity. Even the nobles didn't bother to capture him and make him a serf, because Stern was too thin. If he was captured, he would not only be unable to plow the fields, but would also have to eat food in vain.
By chance, Stern picked up the inheritance of an adventurer. A helmet, a full body armor, a sword, a bow, a spell book and some food potions.
Stern survived with these foods and used medicine to improve his physique. Although it was at the cost of life, Stern felt it was worth it. He put on the dead adventurer's armor, picked up his weapons, and became a brand new adventurer.
Stern not only gained food, money, and shelter; most importantly, Stern gained something he had never had before, human dignity.
He found that as long as he put on armor and a helmet, the civilians who usually covered their noses and walked away when they saw him would look at him with respect, and those nobles who were above him would also be willing to talk to him. Say a word or two, although the attitude is still condescending.
Stern became obsessed with it, and he knew that all this was because of his identity as an adventurer. He began to become a real adventurer. Stern's talent was not weak, it could even be said to be excellent. With the help of the potion, Stern quickly became a well-known local adventurer. The respect he gained reached the highest level in his life.
This respect not only made him happy, but also made himHe is addicted. Perhaps because he was too afraid to return to his former days as a refugee, Stern worked harder than other adventurers to explore the unknown outside world and hunted those dangerous targets harder. Successful experiences have made him develop a character that is fearless.
Of course, it all fell apart a month ago. Stern believes that he is strong enough and has enough strength to challenge the "World Wolf" Lupus. Then he failed. He challenged twice in a row, and both times he ended up escaping for his life.
These two failed battles not only took away his left hand and legs, but also shattered his heart. He is afraid, afraid of Lupus's powerful strength, but more importantly, he is afraid of his own failure, afraid that he may return to his previous days.
But on the other hand, the courage and hatred in his heart are driving him, driving him to take revenge on Lupus and attack the evil wolf, even if he will die in the end.
These two thoughts continued to collide and rub against each other in Stern's mind. In the end, he stood in this wilderness, constantly provoking and begging for mercy towards the mountains in the distance.
Stern's situation is not an exception, he is more like a microcosm, the microcosm of all human adventurers. These adventurers walk a fine line between fear and courage. They are afraid of death, but even more afraid of going back to their old lives. If you really can't make it, who would want to be an adventurer with no fixed address and his head in his belt?
But they also have courage, the courage to move towards danger, and the courage to swing their swords at beings stronger than themselves. But what supports this courage is the fear of the past life.

They cannot accept their own failure. Fortunately, most of them do not need to accept their own failure, they only need to accept their own death.
But Stern can't even accept his own death. He can't accept that he becomes a stranger he doesn't know. He doesn't want to be reincarnated. He is afraid that he will live his previous life after reincarnation, and he wants respect too much. He cannot accept an uncertain next life.
After listening to Stern's story, Brock swung his tail and didn't know what to say to this human being for a while. He is a dragon and the longest-lived ancient dragon. It is almost impossible for him to die, let alone be reincarnated. And even if he is reincarnated, the immortality of the dragon soul allows him to retain all his memories.
"It's funny, isn't it?" Seeing that Bullock didn't speak, Stern laughed at himself and said. Then he slowly stood up, used his prosthetic legs to support himself and moved little by little towards a small earth mound, and then slumped on it motionless, like a corpse.
"It's a wonderful story." Bullock said slowly, looking at the corpse-like body lying on the dirt bag.
"Wonderful...?" Stern murmured as he opened and closed his mouth slightly. Is his story exciting? Shouldn't it be miserable or boring?
Then Stern started laughing, as if he was going to laugh his own life off. He sat up from his bun, his body arched like a shrimp. He laughed through his tears, as if Bullock had said something funny.
Bullock looked at Stern who suddenly started laughing again, grinned, and thought to himself: Come on, he is completely crazy now.
Then Bullock ignored the disabled adventurer, flapped his wings, and began to fly towards the mountain.
Stern was still laughing on the dirtbag, but his eyes followed the trajectory of Bullock's flight and slowly landed on the mountaintop in the distance. He laughed and shed tears as he struggled to get up from the dirt bag. His two prosthetic legs moved towards the long sword and bow that he had casually thrown on the ground.
Bullock happened to have something to do with this so-called "Wolf of the World". In fact, the matter was quite small.
This Lupus attacked many dragons and killed many. The Dragon Clan has a small population. Although it can be directly reincarnated and resurrected, it will take at least several decades from conception to emergence from the shell and then to adulthood.
No one is happy to be delayed for decades for no reason, and many dragons were killed by a wolf. How can this be justified? If this spreads out, what will humans think? What do dwarves think? What do halflings think?
So Bullock came here this time to settle accounts with Lupus. The Dragon Clan also knew that this wolf also lived up to the title of "Wolf of the World". Not only was he highly intelligent, he could use magic, but he also had a strong physique. Not weak. Anyway, it is much larger than a normal wolf, and is the same size as an adult dragon.
Letting Bullock come is also an insurance policy, because the ancient dragons are the most powerful among the dragon clan, and Bullock is the best among them. Let Bullock come and you will definitely not overturn.
"Another dragon, just in time. I haven't eaten the flesh and blood of an ancient dragon yet." Lupus felt Brock's aura from a distance, and now he was standing on the top of the mountain waiting for Brock When he arrived, he licked his lips when he saw Bullock slowly landing.
"That's quite loud." Bullock snorted coldly, and then launched an attack directly. The entire dragon suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then appeared directly in front of Lupus. A pair of sharp dragon claws were grabbing at Lupus' face with a whistling sound that broke the air.
Lupus has eaten so much dragon flesh and blood that his physical strength is naturally not low. Brock's attack did not work. Instead, Lupus leaned down and dodged it, and at the same time, the wolf's mouth flashed. The light of magic and a bolt of lightning fell directly on Brock's back.
Although the lightning struck Bullock this time, it did not cause any damage. The part of the dragon scales that was hit was not damaged. Bullock only felt numb all over, but he soon recovered from the paralysis. Get out of the state, and then directly flap the dragon wings to raise the height.
At the same time, the dragon fire in his mouth spit out directly and formed a spear in his right paw. Brock stood up on his hind legs, rightClaw swung his spear and slashed at Lupus.
Lupus jumped high, dodged Brock's slash, and then the whole wolf seemed to ignore the laws of physics and crashed directly into Brock's chest.
Since Gu Long’s body was not suitable for standing on two legs, Bullock did not dodge this time and could only bite hard. Unexpectedly, the wolf's head was harder than dragon scales. This time, Bullock was hit so hard that he took three steps back before he could stabilize his body.
Brock took a deep breath and felt the pain in his chest. Fortunately, his bones were fine. Then from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a hand covered in mud and blood coming up to his feet.
"Stern?" Bullock's eyes widened, looking surprised by Stern's arrival. This is the top of the mountain, and the surrounding areas are not gentle slopes, but cliffs! Stern, a disabled person with no legs and one arm, could actually climb up? !
Stern held his sword in his mouth and pulled himself up with his right hand. Still panting, he didn't make any pause or rest, but directly picked up the long sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Lupus in front of him.
"Lupus, I'm here to kill you!" Stern said this in a calm tone. There was no fear or tears in his eyes, only bloodshot eyes and endless courage.
"Pfft... Hahahaha! A... useless thing whose hands and feet were broken by me... wants to kill me?" Lupus seemed to have heard some joke, and the whole wolf couldn't hold back on the spot. Stopped and started laughing.
"I'm afraid you have trouble even walking now." After Lupus finished laughing, he said in a cold tone, lying on the ground, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards the standing Stern.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and Lupus opened his mouth to bite Sten's head fiercely. Sten raised his sword with his right hand to block the attack, which was enough to bite his head. down. Stern's whole body seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he remained motionless after receiving Lupus' attack.
"I told you, I'm here to kill you!!!" Stern roared and forcibly pulled the sword out of Lupus's mouth, slashing at Lupus with an indomitable momentum. Si's head.
