Chapter 67: Something Goes Wrong......
The man was definitely not normal. Add opens the optical analysis module again and locks on to the "Hunter";
The main thing that was wrong was in his backpack: it was a box-shaped backpack sewn from animal skin, large enough to fit three or four watermelons, surprisingly tight, and from the hunter's demeanor, it was not only strange, but also heavy;
This guy is carrying such a heavy thing on his back to hunt, and there is no way that the spoils of war can be stored in there, right?
Add thought as he slightly corrected the direction of the Grey Wrist so that he could "coincide" with the hunter.
"Young Master...... Something seems to be moving up ahead!" Soon, Grey Wrist noticed the sound of the hunter as he walked through the forest, and lowered his voice to report;
"Be careful, take a closer look. Eddie also lowered the volume.
After thirty more paces, the four of them could finally see the hunter—and of course, the latter saw them.
The two sides only looked at each other, and before they could speak, the hunter turned and walked away quickly;
"Chase, beware of traps!" Eddie felt more and more that this person was abnormal, "Orange Wind!"
"A magical force is taking care of us, making us energetic and sensitive—" Orange Wind is quite reliable at critical moments.
The four of them hurried through the bushes and grass toward the hunter, but the latter didn't show the athletic skills that Add had expected—
He had barely run out a few steps before a tree branch caught his backpack, and he struggled desperately like a fish that had just been caught out of the water, but he couldn't get out.
"I said, dude, what are you running for? Eddie stopped when he was still a few meters away from the man, "There is no prey here, so don't worry about how the loot will be divided." ”
"Huh...... Huh......" The hunter gasped and looked at the four with hostility in his eyes;
"Dude?" Eddie moved a little closer, "Your face doesn't look good, is there something uncomfortable?"
“...... Aren't you thugs who specialize in robbing hunters?" the hunter paused for a long time before he spoke—and now he didn't look as nervous as he had been.
Eddie frowned, and after a moment's thought, understood what he was referring to.
Those who get up early in the morning and squat in the forest may be hunters or ...... It's a hunter.
The latter hunter should be interpreted separately: hunting, referring to hunting, human ......
Refers to "the target is people".
Not all of them have the courage to fight the beasts and monsters head-on, and it is easier and faster for them to get the spoils of war directly from others;
These people may hide in the grass or bushes, or in the trees, and specialize in picking out lone adventurers who are full of loads, bows and arrows, throwing guns, or directly from behind, with mental calculations or unintentional, the difference in the odds of victory between the two sides-
It's like the difference between careful preparation before the exam and direct exams.
Of course, such a despicable attack can only be carried out by one person, and no one else can be made aware of it—after all, such a thing, if it is reported because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, it is appropriate to go to the gallows;
In the same way, since there is only one attacker, the target is usually alone, which is one of the reasons why adventurers always enter the forest in small groups.
“...... Don't you think we might have done it a long time ago?" Eddie shrugged as he figured it out, "Rest assured, rest assured. ”
"Whew, scare me. The hunter breathed a sigh of relief and began to try to remove the branch from his knapsack;
However, it was at a tricky angle, and the hunter struggled there several times without success, and it seemed that he was either unpacking his backpack or asking for help.
Add felt a sincere gaze on him, and when he turned his head slightly, it was the Night Star.
Naturally, the gaze was asking Add: Can I help?
"Don't go over. Add lowered his voice so that only the four of them could hear him, "You cut off his branch with the wind blade right here." ”
"Cut off the branches," Nightstar said, a little distraught, "Can I ask Miss Orange Wind to help?" ”
"There's no need for that," Add shook his head,
"You just aim at that hunter and you won't hit him. ”
Seeing the look on Nightstar's face that was similar to that of a child when he was scolded by his parents, Add wondered if he was going too far......
A not-so-powerful wind blade flew out of the magic circle summoned by the Nightstar, striking the branch with considerable precision;
The stumbling branches caused the hunter to stumble and nearly fall to the ground, and the bag he was carrying shook violently with a crisp sound—as if something was colliding;
What's inside? Add glanced at it with the optical analysis module;
It is a hard shell fruit.
Most of the backpack is full of shell fruits.
Add suddenly understood why this backpack was so tight: if the Darkcloud Pony smelled it, he was afraid that he would swallow this hunter alive......!
"Yo, old man, what are you carrying in this box?" asked Add, with a curious expression;
"Ahem, what else could it be, some fruit. The hunter lowered his head and sorted out the leaves on his body: "Let's live on these fruits~"
"It's not easy to go into the forest early in the morning to pick fruit. As he spoke, Add pinned his right hand behind him, pointed at the night star, and gestured in the direction of the hunter;
Nightstar suddenly understood and coughed lightly to show understanding.
"Ahem, that's it, it's not easy to live~" The hunter sighed, and then prepared to turn around and leave slowly-
"Wait. Add's tone suddenly cooled, "Are you really here to pick the Solid Shell Fruit in this forest?"
When he heard the "Solid Shell Fruit", the hunter's body suddenly trembled violently.
"Early in the morning—how early do you have to get up to pick such a hard husk in the forest?
Did you go into the forest yesterday morning?"
Under Add's stern questioning, the hunter's legs trembled;
"The branches of the Solid Shell Fruit Tree are so tall, how can you easily pick most of the backpack so much?
I've been going deeper ever since I entered the forest...... If I can meet you, don't you have to look for fruit trees, don't you have to pick fruit!?"
Hearing this, the hunter couldn't bear it anymore, threw his heavy backpack on the ground, and then tried to run away—
"Night Star!"
An ice pick slashed past the hunter's side and exploded on the ground not far in front of him;
The scattered ice slag not only lowered the temperature around the hunter, but also made him tremble!
"Oh, this is just a warning, she did it on purpose—deliberately to let the magic pass you," said Add, looking at the hunter who was almost on his knees, and said with a smug face:
"You feel like you can control magic to this extent...... If you want to hit your upper eyelids, will they touch your lower eyelids?"
