Negotiation with the snow monster
"Dare to ask what Your Excellency does?" The elder asked.
"You old man really don't go out of the gate, you don't step out of the second door, you don't know what's going on outside." Huo An shook his head and said.
"Presumptuous! No one has ever dared to speak to an elder like that! The elder's retinue scolded Huo An.
"It's okay, the guests don't know the etiquette we have here."
"I've been focusing on herbs for a while now, so I don't bother much about things outside." The elder explained.
"I see."
"I'm Huo An, the captain of the Qilin Pirates, let's stay here for a few days." Huo An revealed his identity and purpose to the elders.
"Pirates!? What are your intentions!? After learning Huo An's identity, the elder trembled with fright.
"What a disappointing reaction, didn't I say I'm not interested in your herbs?" Huo An said disappointedly.
"We don't have any money, you don't want to get a little cheap from us!" The elder said alarmedly.
"Elder, although he is a pirate, he has helped us solve several troubles, otherwise how dare I bring him to meet you." The retinue explained to the elders.
"Old man should trust me now, right? Hurry up and let your warriors join me in search of the snow monsters, and I promise you that they are safe. Hoan assured.
"Okay, in that case, I'll believe you for once......" The elder reluctantly agreed to Huo An's request.
"Tell us in advance, we will accept them only if the snow monsters accept us."
"I know, you can rest assured." Huo An agreed.
As Huo An was about to leave, the elder handed him a herb.
"Take it, and if something happens, you can get out."
"Since it's your kindness, then I'll accept it." Hoan took the herbs.
"Master, didn't I tell you that taking herbs again will affect your strength in the future?" Anna dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, I know it in my own heart, can't I get it if I don't eat it for others?"
"If this herb is given to Mihawk, will it affect his strength in the future?" Hoan asked.
"If it affects his strength, maybe the world's No. 1 swordsman won't be him."
"This herb itself does not have any side effects, but it is harmful to you, a person who does not exist in this world, and it will affect your strength in the future." Anna gave another explanation to Hoan.
"I see, then I'll give him the herbs with confidence."
Huo An found Hawkeye, who was cultivating, and asked him to go with him to the kobold's lair.
"What? I thought you were just talking about fun last time, and you really wanted to go looking for a snow monster? Hawkeye said at a loss.
"I'm telling you, it's impossible to get any guys to get on good terms with humans." Hawkeye admonished.
"How do you know it's impossible without giving it a try." Huo An said persistently.
"Why are you so strange this time, what good is it for us to have the snow monsters on good terms with them?" Hawkeye asked.
"Of course it's good, but I can't tell you that this is a mission that will give me new abilities, right?" Huo An muttered in his heart.
"Truth be told, it's so that I can understand the language of animals, so it's very meaningful to act." Hoan began to make things up.
"Huh? You need to know the language of animals? You're not crazy, are you? Hawkeye looked at Joan in amazement.
"Do you think it will be more convenient for us if I can communicate with the animals, such as letting the sea kings give way, and letting the birds tell us what lies ahead......" Huo An said serious nonsense.
"Since that's the case, then I'll go crazy with you for once......" Hawkeye knew that he couldn't change Joan's mind, so he agreed.
The Elder sent twenty Snow Country warriors to Huo An, and the Elder personally saw them off before they set off.
"Boy, remember that you promised me not to let them get hurt, if they have a little wound, I'll ask you!" The elder warned.
"Alas, this old man is really troublesome!"
The warriors lead Joan and Hawkeye towards the kobolds' territory.
"Here's for you." Hoan handed the herbs to Hawkeye.
"Is this the grass you accidentally ate to increase your strength before?"
"That's right, you should know this shape."
"This is a good thing that their elders gave me personally, I defeated all these snow monsters last time, and this time it's your turn."
"Is that good? Maybe I'll cut them all down. Hawkeye said, taking the herb.
"You guys take it easy, if I kill them, I won't be able to learn their language!"
"I'm just kidding you, there's no need to be that nervous, right?" Hawkeye said with a smile.
"Is this still some kind of cold hawkeye?" Huo Anxin had a strong question.
Arriving at a hole near the kobolds' lair, the warriors began to become cautious. They are armed and ready to guard against unexpected threats.
"Snow monsters, come out of here!" Hoan shouted.
"Hey, they're still sleeping! Do you want to wake them up? A warrior quickly covered Huo An's mouth.
"Turns out they also have a habit of snoozing, which is really interesting." Hawkeye said.
At this moment, a sleepy-eyed kobold appeared on the edge of the cave entrance, and it stuck out its head to look outside.
"Poof, I don't know why, I want to laugh every time I see this guy." After seeing the snow monster, Huo An began to try to hold back a smile.
"Look, you've woken them up! You can still laugh! The warrior reproached Hoan.
"There's no need to be so afraid of them, if something happens, I can solve them all by myself." Hawkeye said confidently.
"No kidding, these snow monsters seem to have developed some invulnerable skills lately, and you can't deal with them alone." The warriors thought Hawkeye was just joking.
"Really, I solved them alone last time because of taking your herbs." Huo An confessed.
"Even if we take herbs now, we are less than a quarter of the strength of a snow monster, no matter how strong you are, you can't deal with so many snow monsters, right?" They still have doubts about the strength of Joan and Hawkeye.
"What a bunch of opinionated guys, I'll prove it to you later." Hawkeye pulls out the knife behind his back.
"It's impossible to communicate with them well anyway, so I'll convince them first."
The kobolds were awakened by the noise of the crowd, and they walked out of the cave in a rage.
"These guys are!"
"Who told you to disturb their sleep? They're very angry when they get up!"
The warriors of Snow Country clutched their weapons and began to swallow nervously.
"I mean, you guys are going to live in harmony with humans, right?" Hoan said to the snow monsters.
When the snow monsters heard Hoan's words, you look at me, I look at you and laugh.
"I'm talking to you very seriously, it's really rude for you to react like this!" Huo An said a little angrily
