On the outskirts of the Saling forest, Gadu carefully brushed aside the bushes in front of him, he looked left and right and found nothing unusual, and then stepped forward, Gransh followed closely behind him, and the two of them walked on the mountain forest road covered with dead branches and leaves. The air was humid, the proximity to the stream, and the light rain in the early hours of the morning, the soil under their feet was soft and damp, and the two of them walked forward step by step.

Suddenly Gadu signaled to stop, and Gransh watched Gadu's movements, and as he looked at the ground not far away, a row of animal paw prints were neatly left on the ground.

"That's ......," Grant asked.

"It should be the Saling Jianu Brown Bear, a wild bear demonic beast common on the periphery of the Saling Jungle, it is a fourth-order earth-attribute demonic beast, which is not easy to deal with. Gadu looked at the monster excrement next to the paw prints and said to Gadu.

"Let's get out of here quickly, it's already a lot of harvest to find a Polly egg this time, so let's hurry back to the group to meet everyone." Grant said as he looked at Gadu.

"You're right, I don't want to stay here any longer. Gadu unloaded the long knife behind his back and clenched it in his hand, saying, "When I go back, I have a full meal and then a good night's sleep, which is what I want to do most now." ”

"I don't know if you're in town?" said Gransh.

"Probably not, the original plan was to enter the city together after ten days of rendezvous, and today is only the eighth day. There is a sound of water running ahead, let's hurry up. Gadu said as he walked, keeping an eye on his surroundings as he looked at the increasingly sparse woods not far away.

"I think we should be the last team to go back, usually everyone will return to the group within a week, who knew that we could meet the golden crown python this time, that beast chased us for two whole days, alas," Granch said with a sigh ......of relief.

"We're too adventurous this time, we're all about to run into the depths of the dense forest, but fortunately, it's only a sixth-order demonic beast like the golden-crowned python, and it stands to reason that there should be a lot of seventh-order spirit beasts or even eighth-order king beasts in that area, and we're also lucky......," Gadu said as he observed his surroundings.

"Yes, I'm so lucky, I didn't expect to be able to escape from the beast's mouth, I was scared when I first saw it, if you hadn't dragged me, I guess I would have confessed there, and I will invite you to drink when I go back." Grant said and patted Gadu on the shoulder.

"Go back and ask the regimental commander to invite the two of us to drink, and this time I found him Polly's eggs, so I can't blackmail him!" said Gadu with a smile.

"Haha...... That's right, blackmail him, alas~ If he doesn't ask Lanya to dance for us, let's have a good time~" Gransh said to Gadu with a smile.

"Hmm...... This can have ~" Gadu pursed his lips and laughed after speaking.

While the two were talking and laughing, there was a strange sound in the mountains and forests not far away, and the two of them were originally a little relaxed and their spirits instantly tensed, Gadu pulled out the long knife in his hand from the sheath, and Gransh also took out his staff from the storage ring, and the two looked vigilantly at the shaking trees not far away.

"Be careful! more than one!" Gardu reminded. Behind him, Gransh had begun to chant the spell, ready to cast his magic.

"Help—life—ah—" A young man's cry came, and the two saw a gray-faced young man scurrying out of the forest, followed by several grinning needle-maned wolves.

"Help, help, help!" Zero looked at the two men not far away, shouting for help.

He came out of the cave this morning and just climbed the cliff, and saw a few needle-maned wolves lying in the woods waiting for him, and he had to be convinced, last night the mountain wind was blowing, and it was raining lightly in the early morning, and those needle-maned wolves were able to squat on the edge of the cliff for a night. Then he was chased by the wolves for most of the day, and it was already noon.

"Get out of the way!" Gadu shouted as he looked at Zero, who was being chased by the needle-maned wolf in front of him, took a step forward and swung his knife quickly, almost in a second, he slashed out three air blades, each of which was five meters long, Zero fell to the side before Gadu took out the knife, and before he fell to the ground, he looked at the middle-aged man's swift knife speed like a swift wind, and couldn't stop admiring in his heart.

These three air blades slashed impartially on the oncoming needle-maned wolf, the three frontmost needle-maned wolves were directly cut in half by the air blade, and behind Gadu, the fire mage Gransh had also finished chanting, I saw him shout, Gadu quickly retreated when he heard the sound, and retreated to the side panting in front of the magic crystal, the magic crystal on the staff in Granth's hand exuded a dazzling fiery red light, and a magic array that emitted red light was suspended above the magic crystal, Grant aimed the magic array at several needle-mane wolves rushing in front of him, a firelight erupted from the magic array, and a pillar of fire up to three meters wide poured out from the magic array, which is a level 12 intermediate magic "Flame Stream". The blazing red flames mercilessly scorched the needle-maned wolves in the face, and the heat of the flames scorched the flammable fur of the needle-maned wolves, and several needle-maned wolves were burned to death on the spot, and the other two were also burned to the point that they ran away with their tails between their legs.

"Huhuhuhu......" Zero sat up and patted his chest to calm his breathing.

He raised his head and looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him, smiled and thanked, "Thank you...... Thank you so much, two big brothers...... What do you call it?"

Gadu and Gransh looked at each other and watched as Zero reported their names.

"Gadu Keterson. ”

"My name is Gransh Fetoplit. ”

"Oh~ you can call me Zero. Zero said as he looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him.

"Young man, why are you alone in this Saling forest, and your companion?" asked Gransh, as he began.

"It's a ......long story," Zero sighed and said, "I was originally an orphan, and I left my hometown for the first time to find a way out of town, so I joined a small adventure group, and entered this dense forest to hunt and kill a few demonic beasts for money, but I didn't expect to meet the eighth-order demonic beast Howling Wind Valley wolf! ......”

"I see......," Gransh nodded, "a young man like you, who is going out on an adventure for the first time, is really not very lucky to survive alone for three days in this dangerous Saling Jungle." ”

"Yes, it's so lucky to meet two big brothers! I just thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to die...... I'm never going to fool around with an inexperienced group of adventurers again, and that bastard leader actually took us to the Howling Wind Wolf's den, you really don't know how big that Howling Wind Wolf is! It's more than 20 meters tall, my mother! It's scary......" Zero muttered with a thrilling expression.

These were all made up by Zero a long time ago, and now he gave the impression of a young man who had just stepped out of the house and had never done anything about it, and Gadu and Granch obviously didn't have too much suspicion of his appearance when they looked at him.

Gadu stretched out his hand to Zero and said, "Do you still have the strength, little brother, we can't stay in this place for long, we have to get out of here quickly, lest other demonic beasts hear the movement and rush over." ”

"Of course! I don't want to stay in this place any longer. Zero reached out and was pulled up from the ground by Gadu.

The three of them walked out of the forest together, and before long they came through the woods to a stream, and Zero crouched down and drank the water in his hand, and after running for so long, his throat was smoking.

Gadu and Gransh were also resting on the side, Gadu was holding a water bladder to fill water, and Granshi asked Zero, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"Oh, I...... I was an orphan, and I had no father or mother since I was a child, so I named myself Zero. Zero replied.

"Zero, your name is too simple, but it's also very personal. Gransh had a kind smile on his round face.

Gadu took a sip of water from the water bladder and said to Granth, "It's rude for you to make fun of other people's names......

"I ...... too Didn't say anything......" Granch said with an embarrassed expression.

"It's nothing, it's just a name, and it doesn't matter. Zero said with a smile, then picked up the stream and washed his face.

"Little brother, where do you live?" asked Gadu, looking at Zero.

"I have no family in the first place...... However, I first lived in the small town of Cayons on the border of the Scarlet Empire, and when I grew up, I started wandering around, and then I joined a small adventure party and ran to this Saling Jungle. General Zero said directly to the two of them with the words he had made up in advance.

The two of them were not suspicious, and Gransh asked Zero, "Then you have nowhere to go out of this forest?"

Zero scratched his head and said: "I don't know, let's follow the two eldest brothers out of this forest first, and then I may go to see if there is any mercenary group to accept people, I think it's better to follow the mercenary group to do normal tasks, and it's too dangerous to follow the adventure group to make a windfall, and it's not suitable for me ......"

"Mercenary group, you little body to join the mercenary group?" Gadu said, "I don't feel the fluctuation of fighting energy in your body, you are also a magician like this fat man, right?"

"Oh, you're a little chubby, well, ...... chubby," said Granth, unconvinced.

"Fat is fat, don't interject. Gadu glanced at Grantsh.

Zero smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh...... I'm a ninthiac magician......"

"Poof......" Gadu squirted out a mouthful of water that he had just taken into his mouth.

Gransh and Gadu glanced at each other, and Gadu turned to look at Zero and said: "Little brother, it's not that I look down on the nin-line mage, like the kind of group outside that only looks at strength, only warriors and elemental mages are the most popular, and nin-class mages are generally not wanted, even if they do, at most there are only one or two, and they usually fight to support in battle, but when it comes to support, most teams still prefer to recruit healing mages, pure nurture-based mages...... It's not easy to mix. ”

"Yes...... Zero sighed, "I also know that the Nian Magician is not easy to mix, so I don't want it anywhere, and the Broken Adventure Group I added before, or I was willing to bring mine after talking to them...... But I also want to live, and I have to eat, alas......"

Gransh looked at Zero with a pitiful look and asked, "Young man, do you have any skills besides magic?"

"Except for magic?" Zero wondered.

Grant Shi glanced at Gadu, then said to Zero, "Let's be honest, we are both members of the Dinace Entertainment Troupe, Dinace knows?"

"Uh...... ......I don't know," Zero replied a little embarrassed, "but I know that I usually eat the last meal and don't eat the next, and it is too luxurious for me to go to the entertainment troupe to watch a show." ”

"I see that you are young, and it is not easy to work hard alone. If you have any skills, such as singing and dancing, we will help you introduce you to the head of the group. If you think it's a condescension for you to stay in the troupe, then it's casual to go out of the forest, but if you really have any skills, even if you can bear hardships and stand hard work, then let's say a few words to the troupe leader, the troupe leader is not bad, and it is not a problem for you to stay in the troupe, at least you can be fed and clothed, what do you think?" Gransh said to Zero.

After thinking for a while, he said, "If you can eat and stay, then stay in the amusement troupe...... It's fine, but I'm really not good at singing and dancing...... Oh yes, can you play the guitar?"

"Ahh

"The guitar is a stringed instrument, and I am very good at it, and I can play a lot of songs. Zero explained.

"That's great!" Gransh snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "When you get out of the forest and return to the troupe, you show us your hands in front of the troupe leader, and if you play well, the troupe leader will definitely let you stay, and our troupe needs a young and handsome musician like you." ”

"Alas, you fat man, don't talk too much, you don't know how strict the head of the troupe is in terms of musicians' performances. Gadu said as he stabbed the flesh of Gransh's waist with his scabbard.

Gransh turned back to Gadu angrily and said, "How many times have I told you, I'm slightly fat, slightly fat! You have a great body of tendons? Like a brute, look at your scarred face, how scary? How many young and beautiful little dancers have been scared away by you in the group!"

"Even if I wasn't by your side, those young girls would still be able to look at you? I can't help but chop off two pieces and feed them to the monsters, I really saved you for nothing......," Gadu gave Gransh a fierce look.

"You ......"

"Alas...... Two, two, it's not good to quarrel here......" Zero hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

Gransh and Gadu each turned their heads to ignore each other, and Gadu stood up and said to Zero, "Little brother, let's go, and let this fat man stay alone in this hellish place." ”

After saying that, Gadu stepped on the rocks on the stream and walked to the other bank, and Zero smiled and said to Gransh, "Let's go", and followed Gadu's footsteps to the other bank. Gransh looked at the two of them, then at the gloomy mountains and forests around them, and hurried away, stepping carefully on the rocks exposed in the stream and walking across the stream, for fear of wetting his shoes.

The three of them walked together to the outside of the Saling Jungle.
