Before you know it, the team has been walking in the mountains for four days.

The 300-kilometre straight-line rugged mountain road, including the winding journey over the mountains, takes about five or six days to reach the windy pass in the "Alcolon Mountains", from where you can see the real "Shining City" in the distance.

On this day, the fog in the mountains was very strong, and it was thick with fog before evening.

The members of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" have rich experience in surviving in the wild, and they have chosen a camp and lit a bonfire. Then the improvised steel plates on the Steam Spider mountain bike were removed, and an all-metal luxury hut was erected for the Countess in the wilderness.

In the evening, Susan, the fat cook, prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Wren, as Canossa's personal physician, is the only person who can enter the hut except for the maid Sandora.

Uncle Sam and the others ate hunting rabbit roast by the campfire outside, while Wren accompanied the countess to the cottage.

Dinner was plentiful, with beef, mushroom soup, pheasant, charcoal-grilled dog and rabbit meat, and of course, top-notch wine.

Along the way, he has gradually become accustomed to having dinner with this beautiful lady.

Although Wren felt that the life of a rich man was indeed luxurious, he sometimes felt that the countess would also be quite boring.

If she hadn't been there, no one would have dared to talk to her along the way.

The hired members of the hunting team are not qualified to talk, and Uncle Sam, who is obviously very easy-going, is completely serious like wooden people in front of her.

......

"You eat more, you're welcome. Seeing that you have been practicing martial arts with Sam for a day, eat more to replenish your body so that you will not lose your body..."

Canossa was in a good mood today, she looked at Wren with a smile, and occasionally enthusiastically helped him with a big piece of meat.

In the past few days, with such a small doctor with me, the journey has finally not been so boring.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Wren was not polite, and stuffed the fragrant barbecue into his mouth.

Indeed, as she said, whether it is fusion potions or muscle growth, there needs to be a large caloric surplus to not leave hidden dangers for the body. And these energy-rich monster meat is the best source of nutrition.

I have to say that although Aunt Susan looks a little stumbling, her cooking skills are really superb.

While eating, Wren also asked casually: "Lady Vanessa, I heard that the 'Shining City' is very dangerous, why do you want to go there in person?" ”

In the past few days, he has also heard enough information about the "Free Capital" from the hired wilderness hunting team members.

It was indeed a hunter's paradise, and I heard that the price of potions there was only one-tenth of that of Omar.

Because the city is always on the front line of land reclamation, all kinds of potion materials are very cheap, and all kinds of prices are very cheap. Moreover, the city lord also has a clear rule that the Chamber of Commerce does not allow the monopoly of reselling potions for profit, and in that city, as long as they participate in the hunting task issued by the city lord's mansion, almost everyone can advance to the extraordinary!

Although it is dangerous to open up wasteland, as long as the hunters can survive in the "Shining City" for a few years and return to their hometown in the empire, they will be able to live the rest of their lives richly.

However, it is really dangerous, and is usually only visited by desperate hunters, wanted criminals, and speculative traders.

He really couldn't figure out what this pampered countess was doing in that place instead of staying in the big city and enjoying herself.

Even if you have something to deal with, you can't afford to go there in person.

"Because I also have a small chamber of commerce..."

Even if Canossa looks helpless, it makes people feel amorous and full of charm.

She said in a very casual tone: "No, I originally had some business dealings with the 'Shining City', but recently there was some mess and I had to deal with it myself." ”

"Oh."

Wren raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and glanced at the label on the wine bottle next to the table, if he remembered correctly, in the past, the "Weasel Monster Thieves" was a luxury item among the looted goods, and the black market sold for more than 100,000 miles a bottle. Looting a crate, those drunkard instructors will be happier than holding a crate of coins.

The average small chamber of commerce is profitable enough for the daily expenses of this great god?

The cost of her trip is estimated to be enough to send someone to come ten times.

However, Wren did not mean to get to the bottom of it. After all, in his mind, to be able to become friends with a big guy like Ymir, the identity of this lady may not be so simple.

The two chatted without saying a word.

But while eating, Canossa glanced out the window, as if sensing something, and her expression flashed a different color.

.......

The "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" is a very experienced guide, and the route they chose was also a safe route that they had walked many times.

But as the night deepened, the accident happened.

Suddenly, the birds in the mountains and forests were startled, and a lot of strange sounds sounded in the depths of the forest, sounding like a lot of magical beasts were walking at night.

After a while, a loud alarm sounded outside the house. Bart, the leader of the "Gazelle Regiment", arranged for the hunters to watch around the camp, and they noticed the movement in the forest and issued a warning.

"Commander, it's not good, something may have happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know why, the demonic beasts on the east side of the Alcolon Mountains were alarmed, and there was a roar of high-level demonic beasts in the distance! Besides, I sensed that a horde of monsters was coming towards us..."

"All ready to fight!"

“...”

In the steel hut.

Wren was shocked when he heard the conversation between the people outside the door.

The road to the "Shining City" passes through a large area of primeval jungle, which is not completely safe. Over the years, I have often heard of high-level demonic beasts infesting, and the group has wiped out some unlucky hunting groups.

Now, they seem to be the legendary "unlucky guys".

When Wren heard the news, his first reaction was to think that his "bad luck aura" had flare up again, and his face twitched suddenly. There is also some guilt that has affected others.

Legend has it that this is a deep mountain forest that is more dangerous than the "Bakanya Heights", and he can only pray silently, hoping that there will not be any particularly tricky magical beasts.

Tuk, tuk, tuk!

At this time, the old butler who was wearing a tuxedo on the mountain road knocked on the door, still with that zombie-like expression.

His tone was calm, and he reported: "Madam, the demonic beasts in the mountains have rioted. Captain Bart instructed us to stay where we were, and we might evacuate at any time. ”

Canossa waved her hand, as if she didn't care: "Got it." ”

After this situation, Wren felt that it was not suitable for him to hide in the house as a big man, so he got up and said, "Madam, then I will also go out and see if I can help anything." ”

Canossa nodded, as if thinking of something, and said, "Let's go, I'll go out and have a look." ”

.......

The situation is more serious than expected.

Not only the monsters that made a "rustling" sound in the dense forest, but even the insects hiding in the ground fled out of the cave in droves.

It felt like a flash flood was coming, and these little bugs sensed the danger in advance.

But... They're aggressive again!

"Commander, something is wrong! It stands to reason that the west side of the 'Alcolon Mountains' is the real danger zone, and high-level demonic beasts are also concentrated there, how can you listen to this movement, there seem to be a lot more big guys in the forest? ”

"Yes, even if it is an earthquake, there will never be snakes and insects scurrying around. Could it be that something is happening in the mountains? ”

"Commander, there are gunshots about ten miles ahead! There's a fight over there..."

"It should be that the other hunting groups and rioting demons are on fire, everyone should be careful..."

“...”

The members of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Troupe" have rich experience in hunting, and they set up a large number of traps outside the camp, and set up temporary forts with salutes, and set up large-caliber guns and artillery.

Everyone prayed that the beast tide would not reach them, but alas...

A pair of dark green eyes still spotted them in the dark!
