BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114: Lizard From Hell
Even the berserk orc, who had a reduced sense of pain couldn\'t help but roar in misery after getting its right leg cut off.
Dark red blood spurted and gushed out of the amputated leg as the orc lost its balance and fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
\'So sunlight softens the orc\'s flesh!\' Shye muttered as a triumphant grin appeared on his face.
He then walked towards the orc with his greatswords resting on top of his shoulders, a confident smile plastered on his face.
Naturally, to the battle-hungry and prideful orc, his smile was the most infuriating thing in the world especially since Shye hasn\'t won a single head-on confrontation against it.
With its limited intelligence, It failed to understand that although humans weren\'t inherently strong when it came to raw strength, they were one of the most intelligent creatures in the world.
This high level of intelligence makes humans one of the most successful and dangerous creatures in the world.
Not to mention, humans can achieve a destructive level of strength after training for a long time giving some of them the potential to catch up to or even surpass the raw strength of orcs.
Although the orc despised losing to humans due to their weaker physiques, this one had no choice but to accept that it was defeated miserably by the human\'s intelligence.
No, even if this grunt doesn\'t accept it, it\'s a fact that it was defeated by humans.
The orc, refusing to accept its defeat, tried to stand up and fight once again but unfortunately, it was still exposed to sunlight.
Thus, Shye easily decapitated the orc. Its head rolled on the ground as dark red blood fountained from its neck.
\'Phew, that was close...Luckily, I noticed its weakness before things went sour...\' Shye thought to himself as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Seeing that the orc was dead, Wendy walked closer and tried to poke the orc\'s body with her life staff to check if it was really dead.
Upon confirmation that the brutish grunt was indeed deceased, Wendy looked at Shye and gave him her signature cold face thumbs up.
Naturally, Shye reciprocated her gesture by smiling towards her and also giving her a thumbs up. He then squatted and observed the corpse of the grunt.
After a few moments of observation, he noticed that the lodestone axe was still being held by the orc. He gently took the axe from the limp hands of the orc and inspected it using [Appraisal Lv.2].

\'Oh? What a decent piece of weapon...Hmm? Is this what they call a drop?\' Shye pondered with a curious look on his face.
He then continued scanning the body of the dead orc before realizing that it was wearing some kind of crude bracelet.
\'Hmm? Is this perhaps...\'
[Appraisal Lv.2]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\'Oh?! Can I use this one?\' Shye pondered as he tried equipping the bracelet while Wendy stood behind him, curious about his actions.
After wearing the orcish bracelet, Shye felt the familiar warm sensation course through his body, however, this time, it was followed by an uncomfortable cold sensation.
\'Hmm? Is the cold sensation the intelligence penalty?\'
He was pretty sure it was the intelligence penalty but he didn\'t mind since the pros outweigh the cons. Thus, he decided to take the bracelet for himself.
Naturally, he decided to give the other loot, the lodestone axe to Wendy and the others since they all contributed to taking down the orc grunt.
In addition to this, he planned to have the orcish bracelet appraised to know its actual price before paying the appropriate amount of silver coins to his party members to ensure fair distribution of loot.
While he and Wendy were in the middle of looting the orc grunt\'s corpse, resounding footsteps suddenly sounded behind the nearby shrubbery followed by loud sniffs which made Shye\'s hair stand on end.
He quickly looked at Wendy and whispered "Hide!" before silently sprinting towards a bush not far from the orc\'s corpse.
Just as the two of them found their safe hiding spots, a 4-meter tall reptile with razor-sharp teeth, sinister-looking crimson-colored eyes, a double-horned head, and a long tail appeared from behind the tall shrubbery.
It was standing on its two hind legs while its arms seemed to be too short to be of any use.
\'What the hell is that thing?\' Shye said as he tried to suppress his beating heart. This was the first time he saw such a large and dangerous-looking creature.
Thus, he decided to use [Appraisal Lv.2] on the creature.

\'Crap! We absolutely can\'t let this thing see us!\'
There was no way for him and Wendy to outrun the Hellspawn Bull-Lizard due to its ridiculous agility and stamina so if this thing sees them, then it would spell their end.
The problem is, that Wendy is hiding in a different bush so it is hard for the two of them to communicate. In addition, the inexperienced Wendy was closer to the savage creature than he was.
Her face looked ice-cold as usual but in her heart, she was absolutely horrified which was pretty evident since she was breathing quite heavily in trepidation.
Unfortunately, her inexperience once again caused her to make a mistake, one that could end her existence in this world completely.
*SNAP*
The Bull-Lizard\'s head jerked up after hearing a twig snapping from a nearby bush. It then looked carefully at the bush and started sniffing around, ignoring the appetizing corpse temporarily.
After a few more moments...
*ROOOOOOAAAAAARRR*
"Wendy!!!"
