Chapter 15: Caravan Guards
Wu Yi raised his head and stared blankly at the magnificent foyer in front of him, there were exquisite sculptures on the walls of the foyer, but now they had been eroded, and some of the sculptures could no longer be seen in their original appearance.
Wu Yi walked into the front hall, and immediately a little boy came to ask Wu Yi's reason, the little boy was wearing patched clothes, but his clothes were washed white, but he looked very energetic.
Knowing the intention, the little boy took Wu Yi to a place similar to a bar, where Wu Yi took out the recommendation letter that Yan Yan Shan handed to Wu Yi and handed it to the front desk lady, who then gave Wu Yi a form to register basic information.
After filling it in, Wu Yi was told to wait for a while, and the supervisor needed to assign Wu Yi to a new hunting team, and it was impossible for newcomers to do the task alone, and even if they were veterans, they would go in a team for safety reasons.
At the same time, in a room in the cabinet of the hunting union, Huang Yu was sitting in it, and in front of him was a somewhat gloomy middle-aged man, with strong arms, green tendons, and hideous scars on his face. The teacup in front of them was already halfway drunk. Apparently, their conversation has been going on for some time and is even nearing its end.
"Uncle, I'll leave this matter to you. Huang Yu said.
"Okay, this kind of trivial matter, uncle can help you. ”
Huang Yu got up and said goodbye to his uncle with a smile.
After Huang Yu left, Huang Qiangyin said with a smile: "Wu Yi, the people who just provoked our Huang family, let me let you know what life is better than death." ”
Ah~cut~
Wu Yi sneezed and thought to himself: Could it be that some beautiful cutie is thinking about me?
After two hours, the supervisor finally arranged Wu Yi.
"Come, I'll take you to meet your captain," said the front desk lady.
"The captain is here?" Wu Yi asked.
"Yes, the captain of each squad has a room for the captain to rest and store the things of the team. ”
"No, this is it. ”
Wu Yi looked at the house number 217.
"Number 217 is also your squad's number. The front desk lady explained.
"Next, you can go in by yourself. The front desk lady left with a wry smile.
Knock knock
Wu Yi knocked on the door
"Who~ Who, it's so annoying, and you can't let people sleep. ”
"The door is not closed, get in by yourself. The person in the room said impatiently.
It seems that he is a short-tempered captain, Wu Yi smiled bitterly and opened the door by himself.
As soon as he entered the door, a gas mixed with the smell of alcohol and musty smelled came to his face, Wu Yi frowned, closed his breath, and looked at the man who was lying on the dilapidated sofa, no wonder the front desk lady was unwilling to help him open the door.
The man lay on the sofa, his head was facing the door, he opened his eyelids with difficulty, and looked at Wu Yi in a daze.
"What are you doing?" the man asked, drunken and difficult.
"Hello captain, I'm a newcomer, my name is Wu Yi. Wu Yi said.
"I can't make any money by finding some weak chickens for Lao Tzu, and I waste my team places. The captain muttered.
"Okay, weak chicken, you go back first, I'll send someone to find you when I have a mission. The captain said perfunctorily, obviously not waiting to see Wu Yi.
Wu Yi was very helpless, when would he be able to earn money when he met such a captain. Just as I was about to walk back, the front desk lady came again.
Smack, the front desk lady slapped a task on the head of the drunk male captain.
"This is your mission list this time, the mission of the guards. After the front desk lady finished speaking, she covered her nose and went out again, obviously not wanting to stay longer for a moment.
The drunken male captain picked up the task list, glanced at it, and said, "Boy, I have a mission, I'll report tomorrow morning." After saying that, he closed his eyes, turned sideways, and went back to sleep.
Wu Yi shook his head helplessly, walked back, and when he walked to the hall, he heard the other team members whispering: "Look, that's the new drunk man from their team."
"Drunken man, isn't that the team with the highest mortality rate? ”
"Isn't it, every time I go on a mission, someone often dies, whether it is a newcomer or an old man, they have all changed batch after batch, and there is only one drunk man, who has lived until now. ”
"Hey, this kid is also unlucky, and he was actually assigned to the team of drunken men. ”
Wu Yixin was taken aback, feeling that he was not randomly assigned to the team, and he had a task just after he arrived, maybe there was something wrong with this simple escort mission? It seems that he has to make some preparations when he goes back.
The next day, the sun was shining, and the blue sky was glowing with the morning sun.
At the gates of the hunting union, a large group of people, merchants and hunters, gathered. Every day, caravans depart from here and look for a group of hunters to pass and act as guards. Compared with the high-risk job of hunting exotic beasts, some hunters still choose this kind of work that is relatively safe despite the low salary.
Some caravans will also appoint a guild to help them select qualified hunters to act as escorts.
Wu Yi was now in the crowd of a caravan of four or five carriages. The drunken man's team members are all here, plus Wu Yi has a total of five people, four men and one woman, all of them are burly and majestic, and the magic power level has reached the intermediate level 3, which is more than one level higher than Wu Yi, and Wu Yi is now only the second level of the primary level of magic power.
"Departure" With the order of the caravan leader, Wu Yi and the others got into the carriage behind them and began to walk outside the city.
The task of this caravan is to go to a lower town to collect goods, and now it is an empty car, the carriage is moving faster, and the team members are also very relaxed, and they need to lift their spirits, that is, when they come back.
As everyone knows, the more relaxed you are, the easier it is for crises to come. At the bottom of the wheel, a black cloth bag is tied, and from the inside, a unique smell is emanated, which is not smelly at all for humans.
For the alien beasts, it is as if they have tasted the most delicious food, which can instantly open their appetite and make their saliva water.
The caravan was moving slowly along the mountain path, and behind them, an invisible band of odorous air, like silk, stretched into the depths of the forest.
Deep in the forest, a pile of fluffy clods of earth suddenly fell, leaking a hollow, and a black head poked out of the hollow. It used its black nose to embroider the air in front of it, sniffed a few times, and its black dot-like eyes showed an intoxicated expression.
It retracted into the hole, gouging out new clods, and finally, the fluffy clods of dirt moved like a moving snake in the direction where the smell was wafting in.
After walking for a long time, people and animals needed to rest and eat, and the caravan leader found a shady place for everyone to stop and rest for a while.
One of the horses, which was grazing, suddenly stopped chewing and raised his head, as if sensing something.
And not far from Wu Yi, a fluffy clod of earth was moving in their direction at a very fast speed.
