Chapter Eighty-Three: The Hunt

"What's the quickest quest to get a magic stone?" Cady bowed his head and muttered, "This is nothing more than a hunting mission and a quest to find various materials, but compared to the latter, the magic stones obtained from the hunting mission are more abundant." ”

"Hunting mission?" Hearing Cadifraya ask curiously, "What are you hunting for?" ”

"There are no special indicators for this, it mainly depends on what the publisher of the hunting task needs, sometimes it may be a monster, sometimes it will be a person, most of the people who take the hunting task are apprentices of the negative energy system, those guys themselves are very suitable for doing this, and you and I are only a second-class apprentice now, most of the hunting tasks are dangerous, and they are not very suitable for us." Cady may have seen that Freya was a little tempted by this, and deliberately reminded him.

"Oh." Freya nodded, knowing something about the task in her heart, then she raised her head and glanced at the huge quest card not far away and asked, "What kind of quest is suitable for us?" ”

"There are a lot of these, such as acting as a real assistant to the mentor, dealing with magic materials or seal carving runes or something, if you are good at plant spells, you can also go to the logistics department to do a full-time job, you can receive at least three magic stones a month, very rich!" Kaidi said with slight envy.

"Three dollars a month." Hearing Cady's words, Freya pretended to show a surprised expression, but she frowned slightly in her heart.

She glanced at the task card just now, and the income of three magic stones in a month was indeed much higher than the reward of ordinary tasks, but after all, it was not as good as hunting tasks.

A simple hunting task is paid at least a magic stone, and the high can reach ten or even twenty pieces, although there is an unknown danger, but it is much higher than ordinary tasks in terms of time and quantity, and after the hunting task is over, in addition to the rewards obtained, you can also get some other gray income from the prey, which are transparent gray income.

'Sure enough, killing people and making more goods in any world is the fastest shortcut to making a fortune,' Freya sighed in her heart.

"Alright. That's where the file is registered. Kaidi pointed to a red wooden door on the back of the hall, and said, "I'll go to Tutor Griffiya to sort out the materials later, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Well, there you go." Freya smiled as Cady waved away.

Kaidi is also an ordinary apprentice with no background. It took her steps to reach the Elgreen Wizarding Academy on her own, but compared to Freya, who knew nothing, Cady, as a native, knew much more than her.

Although Kaidi's learning ability cannot be compared to Freya, his hard work and hard work are obvious, except for studying, he is the busiest of the three, and his biggest ideal is to become an official wizard and be recruited by a wizarding family. It seems that there is still some secretly liking Lilian's appearance. It's just that I don't know if this secret liking will finally turn out to be on the surface.

But at the end of the day, Cady and Lillian are one of the few friends in the academy where Freya can talk.

It suddenly occurred to me that if two people who often quarrel are really together, what will it be like in the future?

But. What happens to the two of them in the future is the business of the two of them, and now her main purpose is to earn magic stones.

The corners of Freya's mouth curled slightly, and she turned and walked towards the red wooden door......

Two months later.

The outer area of the Elgin Wizarding Academy.

In the dense forest sea, there was a low rumble from the gloomy rain clouds in the sky, and the wind gradually increased.

In the depths of the forest, four figures covered in gray robes hid on top of the trees, silently dormant.

Two males and two females. The appearance of the four of them was very young, no more than eighteen years old, and they all looked vigilant, as if they were waiting for something.

Because of the gloomy sky and the dense foliage, the four people squatting on the tree couldn't find it if they didn't look closely.

In this quiet forest, the wind grows stronger and stronger. Fine raindrops fall from the sky. It rustled through the woods.

Freya, who was standing in the treetops, put the hat behind her robe on her head with motionless eyes. Although she didn't mind the rain, getting her underwear wet was always uncomfortable.

The cross-sword, coated with a layer of gray paint, was held in his hand, and the rain ran down the icy blade.

She's on a low-level hunting mission, targeting a scavenger from outside.

Because of its strict zhòng, which destroyed the vigilance and sorcery and ecosystem of the forest around the academy, and the strength of the scavenger beast was not something that the rabbit guards could resist, they had to send out a hunting mission.

The scavenger Freya also knows this creature from the classics of all things, itself is just a low-level demonic creature, the appearance is a bit like an enlarged gray wolf, in addition to having a brute strength comparable to that of a great knight, the IQ is no different from ordinary beasts, it is a kind of monster that is easier to deal with.

Even if Freya encounters it, she can kill it single-handedly, but it takes a little effort.

However, because the danger posed by this alien scavenging beast is greater, and it seems to know how to hide and hide, it was hung up on the hunting mission, and the reward is also four magic stones.

This task is not a single one, anyone can take it, and there is no limit to the number of people, and it can be completed in a team or alone.

Originally, Freya had tried to go it alone, but she found that the scavenger was much more intelligent than she expected, and as soon as she felt threatened, she immediately turned and fled, giving no chance of a head-to-head confrontation.

Because he also has the brute strength of a great knight, although he can't beat it, it's too easy to break free from the pursuit of one or two apprentices.

After several failed attempts, Freya also had to temporarily find other apprentices who had received the same task to join her.

Eventually, a day after the team was formed, one of the Shadow Apprentices, who was good at tracking spells, caught the scavengers' movements, so they planned to snipe each other in this route.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier, but fortunately, the gray apprentice's robe had the function of protecting against rain, except for the exposed skin being soaked, the inside was still dry.

However, as the minutes passed, except for Freya, who was still staring ahead, the other three were slightly agitated. The long hibernation made these immature apprentices a little impatient.

"Forrant, is your tracking really a sign that the scavenger is going to pass through here?" Another girl with a longbow and a wooden arrow among the four couldn't help but whisper to the boy next to her.

"It's... I guess this is it. The boy named Forrant looked at the wooden sign in his hand that was faintly shiny, and he looked a little uncertain.

All four of them were second-class apprentices. I have just come into contact with the spell model, and my grasp of the basic knowledge is not yet comprehensive and solid, so it is inevitable that the spell will be biased.

And the girl in it hadn't even mastered any of the spells, and if it weren't for her excellent bow skills, she wouldn't have been able to join the squad.

"The tracking technique of the shadow system is the most accurate of all the departments, maybe there may be some deviations in time, but probably it shouldn't be wrong!" The other boy was also a little impatient. But his basic knowledge is much more comprehensive than that of the girl. That's why he whispered reassuringly.

"Okay, then wait." The girl glanced at Forrant questioningly, moved her stiff body slightly, and whispered.

Freya listened quietly to the conversation between the three of them, not making a sound. She had the most contact with the scavenger of the four, and she knew a lot about this monster, and based on her previous experience, it was very likely that it would pass through here.

Just as the four of them were all thinking about it, they shook slightly in the tall grass not far away.

"It's coming!" The boy who had appeased the two of them was the first to notice the abnormality, and the cross sword in Freya's hand tightened at the same time.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and through the hazy rain curtain, she could clearly see a huge gray wolf-like creature scurrying out of the grass.

Hideous fangs. The scarlet eyes and majestic body all show the strength of this creature.

For a moment, the other three people, who had never come into contact with this creature, all took a slight breath of cold air.

"Is this the scavenging beast?" the girl looked at the strong appearance of the scavenging beast, swallowed and foamed, and her voice trembled a little, "We... Are we really going to kill it? ”

"It has the shadow marks I let out, and it has a lot of scars on its shoulder blades. That's what we're looking for..."Flant, though nervous, was much better than the girl. At this time, he also pulled out the bow and crossbow that had been hanging from his waist and filled the crossbow arrows one by one.

"Stop talking. Be prepared, Freya, you're the best at raiding, you're ready to kill with one blow at the end, Folrant and Lena you both cover Freya, I'll get its attention! Quick! The boy at the head swept the other three and said in a deep voice.

This time, none of the three answered, and at the same time nodded heavily.

Freya, who had been watching the movement of the scavenging beast, raised the cross sword in her hand slightly, made a strange gesture with her empty left hand, and softly chanted a spell in her mouth.

Then a slight sound of wind swept through his ears, and his body, which had been a little stiff because of his long-term dormancy, suddenly lightened.

This is the only zero-level spell she has exchanged for accumulating magic stones in the ordinary hunting mission for two months, the 'Light Wind' of the wind system.

The original meaning of this spell was to be used for escape, and the model itself was not as complex as some other spells, and it was very cheap, and it was resolved within five days of Freya buying it.

However, compared to this simple zero-level spell, it is the most cost-effective for Freya, both in terms of function and other benefits.

The boy in the lead saw the faint cyan air flow surrounding Freya, and also took out the black liquid contained in the test tube from his waist bag and threw it down without a sound.

The ordinary glass test tube slammed into a small stone below, and suddenly exploded, and the black liquid slowly flowed down the broken test tube to the ground, and made a slight 'sizzle' sound.

As if there was some kind of chemical reaction with an unknown substance, the flowing black liquid suddenly moved on the ground, and then it was as if it had been activated, and it quickly gathered up a piece of things around it.

The black soil, the leaves, and the rain that fell from the sky all rushed towards the black liquid, and in less than a few seconds, a strange-looking black giant was formed.

At the same time as the giant formed, a faint rancid smell emanated from it.

Freya, who has seen all the zero-level spells in the academy, knows at a glance that this giant is a corrosive giant of the summoning system, which is a relatively advanced zero-series spell, and it is said that in addition to the need to analyze the complex spell model, it is also necessary to specialize in pharmacy, Cheng Dù, who has strong defense and strength, but the speed is the same as that of ordinary people, but it is also a powerful spell for second-class apprentices, and the purchase price is naturally very high.

"Go, attract it!" The boy in the lead pointed at the scavenger and gave orders with his mental power.

Freya glanced at the boy slightly, and found that his face was much whiter than just now, thinking that the loss of mental power from summoning such a powerful creature was also directly proportional.

Hearing his master's command, the Corrupting Giant slammed up from the ground, its pitch-black and faceless head slowly opening a large hole, and a deep whistling sound came from the hole.

"Roar!!"

A strong* smell rushed down the black hole towards the scavenger, and even the four people standing in the trees could smell the stench of corpses.

And the scavenging beasts not far away were directly attracted by the smell.

It had been hungry for a long time after fleeing for many days, and now it suddenly smelled the smell of rotting corpses and immediately looked at them vigilantly.

However, when I saw the lone corrosive giant in the distance, I was a little stunned, and I didn't understand what kind of creature it was.

However, even if it was a little more clever than the ordinary scavenging beast, it did not escape the intelligence of the beast after all, and soon the instinct of hunger suppressed its curiosity.

After a cursory observation of the surrounding environment and finding that there were no other creatures, he directly crouched down slightly and slowly moved towards the corrosive giant that was still exuding a strong aura.

The hunting instinct made it not run towards each other immediately, but cleverly hidden.

As it got closer to the Corrupted Giant, the scavenger's hind limbs slowly tightened, ready to burst into a sprint.

And the four people who had been hiding in the treetops were even more nervously staring at the scavenging beast's every move.

Perhaps it was close to the perfect time to sprint, and the scavenger suddenly jumped straight out of the hidden grass, its galloping limbs allowing its huge figure to break through the rain curtain, and the fangs of its slightly closed mouth were exposed, revealing a lustre.

"Whew!"

The Corrupted Giant, who was still breathing, was thrown to the ground before he could react, and the sharp fangs bit down precisely on its neck, and with a 'click' sound, the Corrupted Giant, a mixture of dirt and rotten leaves, actually bit off its neck with a single blow.

"It's now!!" (To be continued)
