Chapter 63: Unexpected ...... Harvest?
It's late at night.
When Add signaled that Nightstar was "ready to leave", the latter was stunned;
For the departure of the princess, the adventurers in the guild only greeted them with a simple greeting - not only did this story conference not mean to stop, but due to the departure of the night star, the object of the story could be expanded from the dark cloud horse to all the monsters;
This situation was completely beyond the expectations of the night star;
"Do you think that we got the information for nothing and didn't pay them?" said Eddie, yawning—it was because of the slight sleepiness that Eddie signaled that Nightstar could leave:
"We've already paid us, and you see how happy these people are. ”
"That's true...... Nightstar nodded, "Your plan...... It was completely beyond my expectations, and I thought you were going to issue a bounty, or ask them one by one in good faith, for a few stories to use as a reference......"
"Ahem......" Add shook his head, "When you try to ask someone you don't know to do you a favor, think about what benefits you can create for the other person......
If you can make them realise that 'it's good to do this,' there's no need to rush them at all...... You should know what those adventurers care about besides money, right?"
"Hmm...... Love?" Nightstar said tentatively;
"Yes, affection, from a certain point of view, they value the impression between their peers, that is, 'face'," Eddie nodded, and Nightstar's comprehension ability was still relatively in place:
"I'm just creating an environment for them to be able to speak up...... Look, isn't that a win-win?"
"I see, your approach...... What a clever ......" Nightstar nodded again and again, as if he wanted to engrave this in his heart;
"I also took a look at the notice board just now, and found that there is nothing that can be sold for ......money other than the magic core," Eddie said with a little disgust,
"No wonder some adventurers don't want to hunt them when they see them......"
Judging from the experiences of those adventurers, it has no skin, no scales, no meat, and even horns of no practical value—it's just hard, no magic, no magical use.
"It's quite rewarding to listen to their stories. Eddie looked around the streets and said, "I'm going to tidy up while I'm looking for a hotel—"
While the adventurers brag about their experiences, Add gains a lot of information about the Darkcloud Pony.
First of all, this big animal is an omnivore - it usually eats grass and leaves, has prey to eat meat, and is so barren that it will even gnaw on the soil on the ground when it is too barren;
Secondly, the Darkcloud Ponies usually appear in groups - which makes it difficult to hunt them;
Similar to wolves, they generally elect the tallest and strongest leader as the leader, and the direction and goals of the group are mostly determined by the leader;
Most of the demonic beast attacks that Maple Town had been attacked before were brought over by the leader of the Dark Cloud Pony, and even if the leader was killed, these beasts would not necessarily retreat...... Unless they are completely defeated.
As previously observed, the scales on the sides of their bodies are effective at defending against attacks;
The most conspicuous weakness of the Darkcloud Pony is its neck and chest, which can be fatally wounded by a normal iron sword spear, however, such an attack usually means a head-on collision with the Darkcloud Pony later.
It felt like the bull-shaped beasts before it—Add thought, but it was clear that the Darkcloud Pony was more fragile and quicker.
The best way to deal with these guys is to set a trap or sneak up on their legs, and as Eddie had done before, just cut off one of their legs and do whatever they wanted.
As for the bow and arrow...... In the jungle, it is generally difficult to hit the softer parts of its body.
"That's all there is to it. After Eddie recounted the information to the three of them, he yawned again—he had walked more than two hundred steps by this time, and there was still no sign of the inn.
"Ah...... If only there was a Darkcloud Pony that I could experiment with. Add pressed the cold light hidden in his left arm with his right hand, and hearsay alone could not completely reassure him.
"Young Master, there should still be the corpse of the Dark Cloud Pony on the other side of the defense line, but it's too dangerous......" Orange Wind said in a low voice;
Yes, even if its magic core is dug up by the soldiers, leaving only inedible meat, it is still the property of the noble lord, and if it is discovered by the guards, you may think that it is a demon core that has been stolen and leaked, and there is trouble.
"It's really impossible to go. "But...... Could there be any Darkcloud Pony in this town? Didn't some of the Darkcloud Pony break through the defenses before?"
"How is it possible, it's been so long, and they must have been killed by those cavalry. Orange Wind shook his head.
"It is also said that if they cause trouble in the city, the soldiers will be informed by the people...... And then it's hard to run away. The gray wrist also felt that his proposal was not very reliable.
Heh, even if there is really a dark cloud horse, the probability of being bumped into by yourself is very small;
Add smiled disdainfully - judging by the size of the town and the speed and size of the Darkcloud Pony, the probability that it would be able to evade the guards and wander around the neighborhood was like buying an entire case for the cost of a drink with a series of "one more bottles......
"Squeak-"
"Shhhhh
"Squeak squeak-"
In the street, which had become silent at night, in addition to the footsteps of the four people, there was an inexplicable sound of chewing echoing;
The tone was sharp and loud, and Eddie guessed that it should be something sturdy, and it must not be a ...... to be able to solve this literal "hard dish" so easily and continuously Human teeth.
"Take your feet. Add whispered to the source of the sound;
It was an alley not far away, and it was relatively remote and narrow compared to the main street.
The four of them approached lightly, and when they looked inside from the entrance of the alley, they could see a grocery stall with a straw hut in front of the door;
Of course, they can't get their attention from the ordinary grocery stall, which has several locked, fixed wooden boxes in front of the door - it is common for stall owners to store their goods in order to make it easier to receive and display their goods.
But by this moment, the wooden box had been knocked open with a huge gap, and the materials contained inside were scattered all over the ground;
Of course, what attracted the attention of the four people the most was the one who was eating next to the container-
Dark Cloud Pony.
