Wood could only marvel at the magic of the little girl in front of him on the rest of the way, her excellent stealth skills made her the best scout, and her powerful insight allowed the team to move forward unhindered, which undoubtedly made the progress a lot faster, and Tohir's Fu, Ivan and others were able to reach their destination before sunset.

It is a rather large circular lake, and in the middle of the lake there is a small island of small size, where the rumored dragon's heart grass seems to be located.

When Ivan and the others came, there were already quite a few teams around, most of them were stationed at a safe distance to rest, and when they saw the new team, they would raise their heads and look at what the competitors who were about to compete with each other were like, so as to plan ahead, and many of them had a fierce attempt to scare off those timid adventurers in their eyes.

When they saw a half-grown boy and a petite Lori, many mercenaries began to laugh, and even a mercenary with a full face shouted directly at them: "Go back to playing your game, this is not the place for children." ”

Hill just glanced at the other person and then withdrew his gaze, as if it was a waste of life to look at such a person for an extra second.

The mercenary seemed to sense the disdain in Ciel's eyes, and immediately stood up and spat on the ground, looking at Ciel.

The mercenaries around shouted, "Hahaha, it seems that people don't need your reminder at all." ”

"I was actually despised by children."

"Hey! Let's have some fun, we're bored. ”

"Damn, it looks like I'm going to have to teach this chick a lesson today, uncle!"

"Let's do it lightly, after all, we also have to know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, hahaha.

The mercenary who spoke up swaggered over, he lowered his head and said to Hill: "Little girl, Uncle Ben has been in a good mood for a few days, for the sake of your youth and ignorance, come to our tent to have a drink with our brothers in a while, and this matter will be over, otherwise, hehe!" ”

Hill looked at him with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded.

Ivan was about to step forward, but Wood reached out to stop him, and he walked in front of Ciel, and the tall figure completely blocked Ciel.

The mercenary could only look up at him, Wood's expression was not angry, and there was not much fluctuation in his tone, he just said word by word: "Hey, buddy, listen up, we don't want to cause trouble, but we're not afraid, I advise you to save more energy and think about how to get the dragon's heart grass." ”

The mercenary saw the badge on Wood's gray cloak, which Wood had deliberately leaked out to show him, and was specially graded and issued by the Mercenary Guild.

Purple....

Unlike the badge of the Adventurer's Guild, it is very easy to assess the level of a mercenary, and the difficulty and success rate of the missions received.

Purple represents the mercenary resume of the opponent who has completed multiple A-level or higher commissions alone, and it is also the highest-level badge except for the red and orange badges.

Such mercenaries will be co-opted even by many small countries.

Hit a hard stubble......

The mercenary swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and his face flushed.

"Alright, buddy, don't get excited, I'm just playing a harmless joke with this pretty little girl."

"Okay, we've taken your humor, now we can go."

The mercenary immediately turned around and returned to his ranks.

The surrounding mercenaries were still wondering why the troublemakers had so easily let go of the seemingly bullying team, and they didn't know what Wood was saying because of the distance.

But after a while, their gaze on Ivan and the others changed, with a visible awe.

"Why did this person suddenly change his attitude so much, what did you do?" When he reached a relatively secluded corner, Ivan couldn't wait to ask.

Due to the angle, neither Ivan nor Hill could see the gleaming purple mercenary badge.

"Sa, who knows, maybe it was my tiger body that shook, and the aura of the king exuding from his body convinced him and made him realize his mistake." Wood said smugly.

Damn, can you still play this well, and return the spirit of the king, I think it's the spirit of the king. Ivan despised Wood fiercely in his heart.

"Let's have a good rest these few nights, I don't think there will be any big moves in a short time, the people around are afraid of each other, and no one will take the first action against the demonic beasts in the lake."

The maze on the island in the middle of the lake has a limit on strength, and only low-level mercenaries can enter, but the demonic beasts in the lake are not only the strength of low-level demonic beasts, so they need to be masters to open the way.

At night, Ivan and Ciel leaned against each other, while Wood sat in a remote spot watching Ivan fiddle with the campfire.

At this time, it happened to be the height of summer, and the gentle evening breeze brought a touch of coolness, which gave some comfort to everyone who had worked all day, and Ivan's dinner was a bobtail deer that was not yet an adult, and large pieces of venison were set up on the bonfire, turning back and forth, Ivan took out some bottles and cans from his backpack and put them in front of him.

Sprinkle the bottled trimmings on the meat pieces, let the meat pieces roll quickly on the charcoal fire, and soon the unknown fat turned into a golden substance, shining, and the still slightly trembling pieces of meat were steaming hot, and a strong fragrance overflowed.

"You kid, you really have a hand." Next to Wood's drooling as he watched.

I couldn't wait to take a piece of meat, and as soon as I ate it, the golden fat melted on my tongue, leaving only a mouthful of wonderful taste.

Wood's face was full of intoxication, and he exclaimed, "It's delicious! ”

Ivan said proudly: "That's it! Of course, we didn't talk about our craftsmanship! ”

The aroma spread farther and farther with the wind, and the mercenaries around watched the three of them feast very greedily, and the dry food in their hands seemed to be difficult to swallow for a while.

Wood pulled a kettle from his waist, and he opened the lid with a careful face, lest the liquid inside spill out, and a rich aroma of wine came out.

He took a big sip, then wiped the corners of his mouth and sighed, "It's complete." Then he handed the kettle to Ivan and asked him and Ciel if they wanted some.

Ivan shook his head, he didn't like the smell of alcohol, and more importantly he felt that it would paralyze his brain, making his thinking slow and irrational and objective.

Wood looked at Ivan with pity, in his eyes this is a great blessing in life, and it is really a big loss that Ivan can't enjoy.

Looking at the delicious food in the hands of the three Ivans, several bold mercenaries walked up.

Wood understood very well, and before the other party could speak, he invited the other party to sit down together, and said that good meat and good wine should be shared together.

The mercenaries sat down boldly, took a sip of the wine that Wood handed over, and exclaimed, "What a good wine." ”

"So, have you seen that guy in the lake?" Seeing that the relationship was getting closer, Ivan immediately asked.

Hearing Ivan's question, the three mercenaries became serious, and one of them replied, "That's a big guy." ”

"Oh?"

"You came relatively late, and we came early," the man smiled wryly, and continued, "why no one dared to do it, and it wasn't because of that big guy in the water. ”

"I saw with my own eyes that a seventh-level swordsman was swallowed alive by the other party."

"That's right, that's right."

"It's tricky." Wood frowned.

Ivan felt that his head hurt again, the demonic beasts in this lake were very likely to be eighth-level peak demonic beasts, and even ninth-level was not impossible!

"We call it the Lake Lord."

"So what the hell is it?" Wood asked.

In the history of the continent for 10,000 years, human beings have known almost all kinds of demonic beasts, and even the true body of the overlord in the endless sea is just a big whale.

"This—" The mercenaries looked at each other.

"We want to know too."

"Hasn't anyone ever found out about this so-called 'Lake Master' before?" Hill couldn't help but ask. Although there are also many low-key powerful demonic beasts on the continent, and even reaching the ninth level of human beings is unheard of, most of these guys are in a state of seclusion, or in the depths of the forbidden land in the mouth of humans. And the Lake Lord is located in the center of the Dark Forest, a place frequented by adventurers, and no one has ever heard of it.

"Maybe it's the new demonic beast that occupied this lake after discovering the dragon's heart grass on the island in the middle of the lake."

"Now I only know that the lake master may be a wurm monster."

In addition to the dragons that are almost not active on the continent now, the most sensitive to the dragons are the miscellaneous dragons and pseudo-dragons left over from the hybridization of these dragons and other races, even if they are looked down upon by the dragons with pure blood, but they still really leave some of the characteristics and abilities of the dragons, and the sensitivity to magic items is also incomparable to ordinary magical beasts.

"He's right." At this time, a strong man who was not much better than Wood walked over, the scar on his face made him look a little fierce, but his face was full of smiles, but even so, the easy-going smile on his face turned into a look that could scare a child into tears.

What is more noticeable, though, is the badge in front of him.

It was a bright orange.
