Chapter 32 The Silver-capped Lemur

The 'Luoshui River' turned a corner on the edge of the 'Great Blue Grass Forest', turned and continued to flow eastward, relying on the abundant products of the forest, and several large city-states were built along the north bank of the river.

At the bend of the Luoshui, the flow slows down, scouring out large areas of tidal wetlands. These lands are soft and low-lying, and they are often flooded by rivers, so they cannot grow magic food or build high walls.

However, it is located at the intersection of several large cities, and mercenaries from near and far like to stay here when they enter and exit the 'Blue Grass Forest' for adventure and training.

They would sit in a messy tavern with a glass of cloudy ale, laugh loudly and boast to each other about their achievements. Or sleep well in a small inn made of a few wooden planks, then stock up on some groceries for the next adventure.

There are no powerful magicians to manage it, and it has gradually become a paradise for thieves and demons within a radius of thousands of miles nearby. In this wetland, a palm-sized pink water lily blooms all year round, hence the beautiful name 'Lotus Town'.

One early morning in early spring, it was still a little cold in 'Lotus Town', and some diligent mercenaries had already gotten up early. Carrying their bags, they got out of the simple inn and, in the first rays of the sun, went into the great forest to complete their tasks.

In the middle of the town, there is a relatively dry dirt slope, and dozens of people wait here early every day. They were dressed in thick fur clothes, and in front of them were a small wooden board with various tasks written on them.

Many of the mercenary teams from the surrounding towns need to come here to find temporary partners, or they have received tasks but cannot carry them out for various reasons, so they come to this dirt slope to transfer the tasks.

In this way, you can not only earn the difference in labor price, but also complete dangerous or trivial tasks to improve the rating of your team. Over time, it has also given birth to a kind of broker who specializes in reselling tasks, which has become a major feature of 'Lotus Town'.

Most of these people who have lived here for a long time are individual mercenaries with no team and no roots, and there are also many wanted criminals who kill people and steal goods, and are abducted and deceived. Or like Wang Sheng, he is the kind of 'wild magician' who has no identity, no inheritance, and all magic is practiced through his own exploration.

Wang Sheng, who came out of the nameless village, walked all the way east along the 'Luoshui River' for several months, and several city-states along the way, because he did not have a local identity brand, and he was unwilling to hire this homeless child. He was penniless, so he could only catch a few small animals in some small woods where there were no magical beasts.

Later, he heard that 'Lotus Town' is a mercenary paradise, and he can live a good life here without an identity tag. Wang Sheng thought that he had finally found the organization, so he inquired all the way and searched for it. But when I arrived here, I realized that in this lawless place, the competition was even more cruel.

Wang Sheng, who had just arrived here, was still full of ambition, thinking that he could go to the peak of his life from now on. But when he saw the mercenary tasks full of blackboards, he was dumbfounded.

The tasks written above require all kinds of strange things, such as the tongue of the 'Sanwen Fire Frog', the front paws of the 'Orchid Crab', and the horns of the 'One-Eyed Kui Niu', these things Wang Sheng has never heard of, let alone know where to find them.

The knowledge of mercenaries is passed down by word of mouth, and there are no classics to refer to. When Wang Sheng first arrived, he was still weak and weak, not like a mercenary at all, he had been here for several days, and few people were willing to deal with him.

He wandered around Lotus Town for seven or eight days, and the few silver coins he had exchanged for his prey along the way were quickly spent. There are strong warriors and magicians who come and go within a radius of more than ten miles, all of them are hunting experts, not to mention ordinary animals, and almost all the demonic beasts dare not approach.

The very poor Wang Sheng went out for a long time, but he did not find any prey, so on the twentieth day of his arrival in the 'Lotus Town', he starved again.

Wang Sheng, who had always been high-spirited and directing the country in his previous life, was extremely unlucky after crossing over, who would have thought that the double doctor of Huaqing University would not be able to find a job and be hungry.

This morning, Wang Sheng came to the clearing early to try his luck as usual, and he read the information boards one by one, but still did not find the task that he could complete as a newcomer.

The weather was getting gloomy and gloomy, a few drops of rain sprinkled down with a cool breeze, and most of the mercenaries on the field had already found their targets and went back to prepare. The mercenaries who didn't find a suitable task scattered in groups, and one by one they called friends and invited them to the tavern to get drunk.

It's really a rich man, it's difficult to be a man without money, Wang Sheng can't even pay the hotel fee tonight now. He stood there gritting his teeth and walked over to a sheep-headed orc broker to take on a long-term acquisition assignment with the lowest pay.

This kind of long-term acquisition task is very simple, it was originally for the mercenary team to take it at hand and earn some change along the way. But Wang Sheng didn't have any knowledge of monsters, he picked for several days, and could only choose a monster that he could probably look like to start.

The sheep's head broker's task list clearly states that a magical family in a nearby city-state has long needed the monster tail of the 'silver-topped lemur', and the purchase price is one gold coin each, which can be settled at any time when it is delivered.

Judging by the name, the 'silver-capped lemur' is supposed to be a small monkey with silver fur on the top of its head, and since the mission pays so little, it should not be difficult to deal with. I just don't know where this thing usually lives and what habits it has.

Wang Sheng and the sheep-headed broker were polite for a long time and learned about the general situation of the 'silver-topped lemur'. Then he exchanged the only hare left in the space for a few steamed buns, tightened his trouser belt, and left the town alone.

'Lotus Town' is surrounded by swampy depressions, and not far away is the 'Blue Grass Forest', a paradise for demonic beasts. The trees were all towering, rising abruptly from the ground level as if they were a wall with no end in sight.

There is an obvious difference between the inside and outside of the forest, as if there is some immortal, and it seems that Leng put the two picture scrolls together, which is very strange.

The aura of the 'Blue Grass Great Forest' was much thicker than that of the outside world, and when Wang Sheng stepped in the first step, he felt a burst of comfort in the meridians of his body. Under the nourishment of the aura, the plants in the forest are very huge, and the top of their heads is covered with all kinds of leaves and branches, and the stubble is tightly stubble, and there is no trace of sky in sight. The ground at the bottom of the forest is very gloomy and damp because there is no sunlight all year round, and it is always covered with a faint layer of mist, which makes it difficult for people to breathe.

The plants here grow very fast, and no matter how many mercenaries come in and out, they can't step on the road. Wang Sheng had just taken a few steps into the forest when he encountered a trouble, facing the waist-deep weeds and vines in front of him, he couldn't get down at all.

It turned out that the leopard's sharp knife had long been lost in the 'Luoshui River' and he was now unarmed, so he had to break a section of branches, wave left and right to remove the weeds, and move forward step by step with difficulty.

The 'silver-topped lemur' described by the sheep-headed broker was similar to what he imagined, and he also told Wang Sheng that this kind of wind-type demonic beast did not have a clear habitat, and as long as he waited by the spring, he would definitely be able to encounter it.

This piece of information is useless at all, not to mention that Wang Sheng does not have the help of map positioning, and he can't find where the spring water is. Even if he was lucky enough to find the spring, he would never dare to approach, the edge of the water source in the forest has always been a battlefield for all kinds of animals to fight, this is the world of Warcraft, where does he dare to go to that kind of place to find death alone.

Wang Sheng cautiously searched the forest for three or four days, and saw all kinds of strange creatures, but he never found the shadow of the 'silver-capped lemur'. Every night, he didn't dare to make a fire, so he could only climb to the trunk of the tree and nibble on cold steamed buns, but fortunately, before leaving, he filled a lot of free water in the broken tank of the magic space, so he didn't have to worry about drinking water at this time.

In the early morning of this day, Wang Sheng was still napping in a daze on the branches, and suddenly he heard a huge noise from a distance, and the usually quiet forest suddenly became lively, and Wang Sheng, who woke up, hurriedly hid his figure in the tree, and couldn't help but look nervously.

After a while, Wang Sheng saw the trees and weeds in the east, as if they had suddenly come to life, and in a violent shaking, countless monsters, large and small, ran towards him with strange screams.

Wang Sheng didn't have the keen sixth sense of an animal, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to deal with the guy who could make such a big move.

He didn't dare to delay, hurriedly jumped off the treetops, and also mixed in the ranks of the demonic beasts and ran. Wang Sheng had just run a few steps when he noticed that among the black shadows scurrying on the fork of the tree on the right, a little bright silver occasionally flashed.

When he looked closely, not far from him, there was a group of 'silver-capped lemurs', constantly jumping and fleeing on the branches.

These little monkeys, which are less than two feet tall, have become in Wang Sheng's eyes, glittering gold coins and hot steamed buns. As he ran, he slowly leaned towards the monkeys, and when he saw his target, he threw it at the Flywheel Storm.

Those running lemurs didn't expect another killer to emerge from the ground, and three or four of them were cut down in one look. The other monkeys seemed to be very afraid of the pursuers behind them, but they only paused slightly, roared at Wang Sheng a few times, and then turned around and ran again.

Wang Sheng hurried a few steps to the front, trying to pick up the fallen monkeys, but the weeds in the forest were really deep, and it took him a long time to find two, and Wang Sheng excitedly twisted off their heads and stuffed them into his own space.

Just when Wang Sheng had just straightened his waist, he suddenly found that his side was gradually quiet. The group of fleeing demonic beasts had already run away, and there was no movement within a radius of dozens of meters.

The horror brought by the huge contrast made Wang Sheng's hairs explode, and he threw away the branches in his hand and wanted to leave here. But before he could move his steps, he suddenly felt countless pairs of eyes around him, staring at him tightly, and a tooth-aching 'rustle' sound slowly reached his ears.

The frightened Wang Sheng hurriedly turned around, only to see the entire forest behind him, as far as the eye could see, I don't know when it was dyed yellow.

Whether it is the branches and leaves of the trees or the weeds on the ground, they are all crushed and flattened by an earthy yellow ant the size of a palm. This colony of ants was boundless and boundless, like a tide, surging in the direction where Wang Sheng was.
