Chapter 45 Humans!

Jacob looked entirely different from three months ago. His body was brawny as he wore a crude coat made from arrow tail jaguar's hide and a pant made with another uncommon animal's hide.

His face was covered with a thick layer of mud and a long, messy beard, while his hair was crudely cut to his shoulder length. His eyes were filled with sharp, murderous intent. He gave the feeling of a vile barbarian who has gone through many cruel battles.

It was in fact the case as well because after his first month of wandering; he stopped using Pig Head to fight those animals and started to brawl with them himself.

One reason for doing this was Pig Head was wilting with each fight, and the other reason was to get accustomed to his rising strength.

After hunting and consuming nine uncommon and 25 common animals, his body has already become 100% compatible with his current heart. He didn't dare to believe he had such a strength, which was nothing but superhuman, and it was only the beginning.

On the other hand, Pig Head was now half of his former burly self. He even appeared slightly weaker than Jacob now, and if Jacob let him continue to fight, he might've already been withered completely.

However, this matter was the least important at this moment because of that gunshot Jacob heard a few moments ago. Before he wasn't sure if this world has guns or not before, but after hearing this sound he was now sure of it.

Furthermore, he was searching for the exit all this time and this gunshot also mean there was someone who came here for either to hunt or they were also escapees like him. The chances of the latter scenario were minimum, but they were still there.

'Since they're using a gun, this means they're weak and from the muzzle blast; it's probably shot from a rifle with a 66 cm in, barrel, and 15-round magazine, or a carbine with a 51 cm in the barrel and 12-round magazine, give or takes Hoho, I never thought their technology is only at a Colt Lightning Carbine level or this person simply can't afford another one. Well, I'll find out soon'

Jacob's heart raced just thinking about guns, which were his bread and butter in his past life, and he dominated the entire world's advanced weaponry industry with them.

Although he worked with modern firearms, their foundation was built on their predecessors, and he even had the biggest collection of antique guns.

All in all, he knows these weapons by heart, and just by the sound he could tell which kind of gun was bullet has been shot, just like now. This was the true face of Jacob Steve, who devoted his life to sharpening the art of murdering!

With quiet steps, he quickly reached the area where the gunshot sound came, and he heard some voices, which make his heart fill with excitement.Tp vl updates on n/(o)/v/lb/in(.)com

"Great shot, sir, Gus. That wild tusk boar died instantly!" A female voice exclaimed in praise.

Another male voice rang with a hint of pride. "Lady Kiana, it was nothing. I once hunted a Three-Horn Lizard."

Jacob slowly crept toward the trees, when he finally saw the owners of these voices. He was astonished when he saw four horse-riders wearing English hunter outfits.

Two were young girls with beautiful features, while two were young men, tall and handsome.

One of the young men with blond hair was holding a black rifle which look exactly like Colt Lightning Carbine in his hand, just as Jacob guess, and the other three were also armed with the same rifles.

'Humans! It seemed I wandered into the uncommon region. According to Decker's journal, humans lived in uncommon regions, and this place is the weakest of the four known regions. Well, this is also good since it would be difficult if I accidentally enter the rare region.

'I first have to get the knowledge of this world and then move toward the upper regions, and mingling with my kind is the easiest way. But those four looked like scions of some rich family.

'If I appeared before them, they might turn hostile from the way I look right now. Then I can just follow them back, and I'll eventually reach human territory.'

Jacob quickly decided to remain hidden and follow these four around until they led him to some human city. Well, he was also interested in their conversation and those Colt Lightning Rifle.

"Sir Arian, where should we go next?" Gus looked at the black-haired young man on a brown horse.

Arian thought for a moment before he said, "We're currently on the peripheries of the Rainy Mountain Ranges and if you want to hunt uncommon animals we have to ride for five days or even longer if we're unlucky.

"But we can't be out for this long, right? So, let's go toward the dark wolf-ridge which is the closet, and hunt the Dark Wolves. Only common animals and some can evolve into uncommon, they're vicious and hunt in a pack. They can even hunt uncommon animals in numbers. We can easily retreat if we encounter any danger. What do you think?"

The two girls looked at Gus with anticipation. He was clearly the leader of this small party.

Gus nodded without even thinking and pridefully said, "Then dark wolf ridge it is them. I just happen to need some wolf fur, heh."

The two girls giggles hearing Gus joke with admiration in their eyes while Arian smile wryly at his employer.

With Arian guidance, they galloped the horses and ride toward the direction of dark wolf ridge.

Jacob, who watched and listening all this, couldn't help but click his tongue, 'So, that place was called dark wolf ridge and those dogs were sneaky. They even manage to almost faze my coat. I'm afraid those four scions will be dead before they could lead me to human settlement. What to do now'
