Chapter 9: Strangeness

In the silence of the mountain forest, Adil stood in place, holding a green solid in his right hand.

The green solid was dug out of the body of the green-eyed snake, like a stone, and it was stained with green snake blood, which looked a little disgusting.

Looking at this green snake stone, Adil stood in place and thought about it, wiped the snake blood on it, and after confirming that it was non-poisonous, he pinched off a little and put it in his mouth.

"Ding! The effective substance is detected, and after swallowing a hundred, the growth system is 0.1. ”

The message in his mind made Adil happy.

"How is this snake around?" said Adil after a moment's thought, turning to the hunter who followed behind him.

The middle-aged hunter wearing the animal skin robe was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Adil to ask this question, and then quickly reacted: "There are a lot of this green-eyed snake around here, and you can often see it, but if you want to find more, you can only go deep into the forest, which is the habitat of this snake." ”

He looked at the snake stone in Adiel's hand, and asked tentatively, "Do you want this kind of snake stone?" ”

Adil turned around and looked at him with some surprise: "Is there this kind of snake stone sold around here? Doesn't it mean that the green-eyed snake is highly poisonous?"

"Although this green-eyed snake is poisonous, the flesh of this snake is very delicious, and this snake stone is also a very valuable medicinal material, so experienced old hunters often come to catch it. ”

The middle-aged hunter explained to Adiel: "If you are willing to pay a high price, there will be many experienced hunters in the vicinity to serve you, and I believe that you will be able to catch some soon." ”

"Then I'm bothering you. Adil didn't hesitate to do this, but after thinking about it, he agreed to the proposal.

A hundred snakes is not a small number, and if Adil catches them alone, he may not be able to gather them all, and it is a good thing that someone can help them buy them.

They talked there for a while, and soon came to a consensus. Adil offered a high price of one gold coin per snake and asked the hunter to help buy it.

It is not easy to live in this world, and if a gold coin is a compact life, it can already maintain the basic survival of a family for a month, which is definitely a high price for those hunters.

As the heir of the baron, Adil had servants send money every month to support himself, but it was only about one or two hundred gold coins a month.

The deal was reached, and the hunters on the side were happy, and several of the surrounding entourages also had envious expressions on their faces.

It is to be expected that when this hunter goes to trade with other people, he will definitely take a cut of that gold coin.

But Adil doesn't care about this, it's human nature. All he wanted was the materials he could get his hands on, and he didn't want to ask how they were obtained.

"Alright, this area has been checked, let's go to the next place. ”

After carefully searching the same place, Adil looked around and said to the others behind him.

After searching for such a long time, there is nothing special except for the traces of some mountain storm bears in the surrounding area.

According to the analysis of the chip in my mind, these traces are basically a week or two ago, and according to the characteristics of mountain storm bears roaming around, they may have run away to other places by now.

Adil led the men back to the place where the horses had been tethered, and prepared to look elsewhere.

The arm gently stroked the black horse, Adiel's eyes suddenly froze, and the voice of the chip machine sounded in his head.

"Ding! An unknown breath molecule was detected, and it was analyzed to be an adult male human, and the number was three. ”

"Someone just came!" Adiel's mind was shocked, and he followed the direction of chip analysis, and subconsciously looked in a direction to the right.

On the right, there is a patch of grass, in which a low grass grows luxuriantly, looking very natural, without the slightest trace of man-made.

However, this is only a superficial camouflage, under the analysis of the chip, there are very shallow trampling marks in that piece of grass and trees, as well as strong aura molecules, all the way to the distance.

After discovering this, the expression on Adier's face remained unchanged, and his gaze quickly shifted to the bodies of several horses, as if he had just glanced at them casually.

However, his right hand was quietly placed on the cross sword on his waist, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

This hesitation did not last long, and soon, he made a decision in his heart, and the cross sword held in his right hand was naturally put down.

He was not the original owner of this body, and he was not a die-hard loyalist of Count Boria, and he had no intention of serving the other party.

It's just an ordinary task, but this kind of life-and-death fight with people doesn't do Adil any good.

Adil quietly stroked the black horse under him, but secretly used a chip to check the state of the horse.

This is just in case. Although he didn't want to fight with the other party for life and death, the other party might not have this awareness, and he might take advantage of the time they left to do something.

"Ding! The horses are in good physical condition and have no unusual reactions. ”

The sound of the chip in his head sounded, which made Adil feel a little relieved.

"Let's go. ”

He mounted his horse as if he hadn't found anything, and walked towards the front with a few people behind him, ready to go to the next spot to inspect and investigate.

After waiting for some time, it was confirmed that Adil had left far away. In the original place, three people came out of the nearby grass.

Dressed in emerald green tights, they move quickly and with agility and agility, making it difficult to spot in this area under the cover of the surrounding scenery.

"Why didn't you kill a few of them just now?" Looking at Adil and their distant direction, among the three people, a man with a bearded face was a little puzzled, and asked a young man beside him.

The young man was also wearing a green tights, but his appearance was much more handsome than that of the bearded man, and the expression on his face was also very calm.

"These people are here to investigate the situation in this area, and if we do it, we will eventually arouse the suspicion of the other party no matter what, and it is likely that our arrangement during this period will be exposed. ”

"And even if we do do do it, it's just the three of us, and it's not certain who will kill who in the end. ”

After explaining, the young man looked at the direction where Adil and the others were going, and said with a solemn face.

"Wouldn't it?" the scumbag man looked incredulous: "Just a few ordinary people and a noble child who is still nursing in a woman's arms? ”

"That's no ordinary aristocratic kid. At this moment, another person spoke up, with the same solemnity on his face: "That's Adil Fakus, a famous knightly genius in the neighborhood. ”

"This is not a genius that has been blown out, but the kind that has actually been on the battlefield. I heard that I was about to reach the standard of being promoted to knight half a year ago, and it is estimated that it is not far from activating the life seed now. ”

Speaking of this, a hint of jealousy appeared in this person's tone: "With this kind of strength, unless the real knight comes, it is impossible to leave the other party behind, let alone the three of us." ”

"Alright, that's all for today. The most important task now is to set up the front base so that the follow-up people can come over. ”

············

When the three of them appeared behind, Adil was leading the people towards the way they came.

Because it was almost noon, the sun was very strong.

Adil observed it for a while, and then ordered the group to find an abandoned village and prepare to rest in it for a while.

Once inside, Adil tied his horse in the shade of the tree before stepping in and taking in the sight.

It is said to be an abandoned village, but in fact, the buildings are still very new, and the dust accumulation in some places is not serious, and the traces of residence are obvious, and it seems that people lived here not long ago.

This is actually one of the villages that was slaughtered by that mountain bear some time ago.

Damaged and collapsed buildings were everywhere, as if they had been hit by some giant beast, and they looked like they were in tatters. In some corners that are not easy to clean, there are also some dried blood stains that have not been cleaned up, adding a vague sense of blood to the whole scene.

Standing in this place, Adil glanced around with some vigilance, good sight and hints of chips in his mind, so that he could find some wrong traces around him.

After making sure that there was no hidden danger, they found a place where they were going to rest for a while.

The hunters on the side skillfully found some kitchen utensils that could still be used here, such as large pots and some cutlery, which could be used on the spot after a little cleaning.

The others also went up to help skillfully, and soon, in a still intact house, a large pot was full of thick soup, and a little bit of meat fragrance continued to emanate from it, so that several people around couldn't help but swallow.

These soups were filled with some prey that Adil and the others had caught before, including the green-eyed snake, which had also been skinned and put in it and boiled with other ingredients.

As is customary, one of the attendants handed Adil the best of the snake meat, and then sat silently in place, looking at Adil with blank eyes.

"Let's use it together. Looking at the gaze of several people around him, Adil said casually.

A few people around were relieved, and hurriedly took the tableware and prepared to eat. However, the movement was still very slight, for fear of disturbing Adiel.

After lunch, they rested for a while before leaving the place to patrol the next location.

Before leaving, as if sensing something, Adil suddenly frowned.

In my head, the voice of the chip machine sounded.

"Ding! A known breath molecule was detected, and it was analyzed as an adult male, and the number was three. ”

The sound of the chip prompting halted Adiel's forward movement for a moment.
