March 20, 5th year of the federal calendar

This was the first time I've spent the night in the wilderness since I came into this world. I've watched a lot of shows with similar themes, and I think that as long as I rely on my personal space to get enough supplies, the rest is just a matter of improvisation. But survival in the wild is much more complicated than I thought.

The inferior tents were far inferior to the craftsmanship of the industrial world, and the strengthened body was not afraid of the low temperatures of the night, but the hard and uneven ground made me suffer enough. On the other hand, the psychological torture also made it difficult for me to sleep, knowing that the danger of this world is far greater than the original world.

The physical and psychological torture made it difficult for me to sleep, but it was in such a half-asleep situation that I was lucky enough to escape a killing disaster.

The experience of this night taught me not to spend the night in the forest without being fully prepared. You never know what kind of danger lurks around you, especially in a world like this.

I'm not in a good spirit, and I don't want to write too much. All in all, I'm moving on to my destination, and I'm looking forward to a smoother follow-up.

……

In the early hours of the morning, Duqi, who was tormented by the poor accommodation conditions, could not sleep, and the half-asleep state lasted until the second half of the night. He rolled over, and the thin cushion beneath him obviously didn't do much. Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of Suo Suo all around, and he thought it was just an illusion, but then the sound of a tree branch breaking drove away what little sleepiness he had.

It was the sound of some kind of creature stepping on a dry branch on the ground.

Duzi quickly sat up and stepped out of the tent to survey his surroundings as he slowly moved behind a large rock not far away. There weren't many things in the camp, except for the necessary tents, he carefully stored everything else in his personal space, and he wouldn't lose much if he left immediately. It's just that Du Qi is still a little distressed, a tent is worth six copper hearts, and he is a complete poor ghost.

Douzzi's eyesight was good, and even in the darkness he could see the slight swaying of the grass and the strange figure that followed. The monster wasn't huge, and was even slightly shorter than Duzi. Its body shape is somewhat similar to that of a two-legged standing dinosaur, but a closer look reveals that in addition to its bare and disgusting body, the rest of its tail, feet, arms, and even neck and head are covered by countless black tentacles, and there are even a few thicker and longer tentacles with hooks coiled around its back, constantly twisting gently with its steps.

The monster's terrifying shape sent chills down Duqi's back, and he pressed the uneasiness in his heart and summoned out the monster illustrated window. "Nightmare weaving, a very apt name, and I don't know what the strength is?" He secretly complained in his heart, and his wildly beating heart was slowly calming down.

Under the entry compiled by Nightmare, due to the fact that the research progress of this monster is still zero, Duqi has no access to any information other than its name.

The darkness was enveloped in terror, and Du Qi could judge the strength of the enemy, and the shape of the monster was indeed a little terrifying, so he decided to avoid this battle after hesitating for a moment. Taking advantage of the monster's attention to his tent, Duzi continued to retreat cautiously, feeling sorry for the torn tent and glad that he had not lost much.

The jungle at night is quiet and eerie, and the occasional strange cry will make people's hearts flutter violently. Du Qi did not dare to be careless, and hurried to the north overnight, and finally walked out of this forest called "Green Man" when the sky was slightly bright.

Not far away, white smoke rose up, and looking at the scale, it seemed that a group of people were camping in that location.

At this moment, Du Qi suddenly had a feeling of traveling through time and space, and with a feeling of returning to civilized society from the wilderness, he cautiously leaned towards the place where the white smoke rose.

It was a small caravan, sixteen men in all, three of them standing guard around in full gear, while the others were busy tidying up, as if the convoy was about to depart.

"Friend, please stop." When the big man saw someone approaching, he immediately drew his sword and shouted loudly. Duqi guessed that it was unlikely that such a small chamber of commerce would train its own guards, so it was likely that the caravan hired them were escort mercenaries.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a wild waiter, and I happened to be passing by here, so I'm not a suspicious person." Duzi took the pendant out of his personal space and shook it. As he spoke, Du Qi looked at the group of people in passing. From the attribute box, it was known that the strong mercenary led by the leader was named Likang, and he was obviously injured, and the wound was still very new, probably left by the battle not long ago. In addition, the merchants in the procession also looked very embarrassed, and they all complained of tiredness.

"Wild waiter? What do you have to do? Seeing Du Qi's method of taking things from the air, his tone became much softer. This is not because of the credibility or fame of the wild squire, they are just ordinary mercenaries, they are good at dealing with some ordinary robbers and beasts, but after all, they are only stronger ordinary people, even the weakest wild squires can easily destroy them.

"Passing by here, come by and ask, do your caravan know about the Starry Night Stone?" Du Qi originally came over to take a look on a whim. Just as I was about to leave, I thought of an important question.

"Starry Night Stone?" Perhaps it was because they heard that business came to the door, and the merchants suddenly came to their senses. The leader named Chipper stepped forward and said, "It's an ore that can be used for forging, and it's much better than ordinary iron ore. We happen to have some in our caravan, but this lord wants to buy them? ”

"How much does Starry Night Stone cost? I probably need ...... Well...... Two kilograms. Du Qi pondered for a moment and asked softly.

"The price of one kilogram of starry night stone is 1 gold yuan and 3 silver threads." The price was quickly quoted.

"Forehead......" Du Qi's face froze, he did make some money recently, but it was inevitable to spend every day, plus he bought a lot of materials before this trip, and the money on his body was less than 1 gold yuan. Poor, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to fall into his momentum like this, "It's a pity...... I didn't take much money out of the house this time. In that case, we can only wait until we return to the city after we finish our business. Du Qi's face was full of regret, and he could only hope for the reward of ten gold dollars after completing the task.

Crumbs Feng looked at the back of this wild servant dumbfounded, no bargaining or coercion and temptation happened, and the other party left so sincerely. After hesitating for a moment, he still shouted, "This lord! If...... If you can do us a small favor, I can call the shots and give you the Starry Night Stone. ”

"Help? How can it help? Du Qi looked back with a look of lack of interest, "I can see that you are in some trouble." But I'm pressed for time, and these Starry Night Stones aren't worth much. Thinking that he would soon become a local tyrant with ten gold yuan, he decided to slap his swollen face and become fat. He still has this confidence, after all, for outsiders, the wild servant has too many means to make money.

"As you can see, we were attacked not long ago, and it was a pack of wild wolves that we had never seen before. We've walked this trade route countless times, and no wolf pack has ever come close to it, and we don't know what happened. So, if you can escort us to Chishui City, the Starry Night Stone will be given immediately, and we can also pay an additional commission of fifteen gold dollars. Chipper gritted his teeth and reported a sizable tree. They weren't large caravans, and the amount of money they could earn from each round trip was very limited, and taking out this part of the gold was already very distressing to him. Just instinctively, he always felt that this area was a little strange lately.

"Chishui City? Sorry, that's too far. "Duzi knows the city, it is about three days away from Eagle City, "In this way, I can send you to ...... I would like to think about the location of the eastern boundary of the Black Pines Forest. I only need Starry Night Stone, and I don't need your commission, how about it? ”

"The eastern boundary of the Black Pine Forest? Good...... Deal. After only a moment's thought, he nodded and agreed to the deal. Although it was only about half the distance of their total journey to the border area of the Black Pine Forest, then they would enter the Dawn Wind Prairie, which was the intersection of several official roads, and caravans often passed by, so it was much safer, "Ah Hui, go and fetch two kilograms of Starry Night Stones for ...... Forehead...... I haven't asked ...... yet."

"My name is Duzi."

"My name is Crumb, the president of the Abundance Chamber of Commerce. Lord Duqi, shall we leave now? ”

"Please wait a moment." Du Qi took the Starry Night Stone, which was neatly divided into four pieces, and after sitting cross-legged, he raised his hand without hesitation to activate the forging skill.

I saw a flame leap out of Du Qi's forehead, and then burned more and more in the air. He smiled slightly, took out a lot of materials from the space he carried with him, and threw them into the flames along with the two Starry Night Stones. According to the Forge Interface, there are only three pieces of equipment in the Starlight Night set, which are a helmet, armor, and a weapon. Due to the lack of materials for the Spotted Helmet on Duqi's body, he can only craft a piece of armor to increase his chances of surviving in the face of danger.

The material floated in the air with the help of the flames, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it quickly softened into a viscous liquid under the scorching of the flames, which mixed together and was crumpled into the rough shape of the armor by an invisible force. The flames continued to burn, and little by little, the details of the armor were carved out. Soon after, the flames dissipated, and a piece of black leather armor dotted with red scales fell on Duqi's hand.

"Starry Night - Stars: Blood Lv1, Defense Lv1, Resistance Lv1, Skill: None. Years later, the Flame General, who holds the title of Grandmaster of Forging, still retains an old piece of leather armor. It's the first time he's worked hard to combine function and art in a single piece of equipment. This is the dragon gate of the fire general, and it is the decisive work of his forging skills to new heights. In the eyes of the fire general, the perfect combination of function and art is undoubtedly the right path to the god of forging. ”

"Not bad!" Du Qi nodded in satisfaction, the three attributes on the armor were all higher than his own attributes, just enough to replace them all without waste. As for the introduction of the equipment, it seems to tell the story of the designer, but at the moment Duzi really can't be distracted from the things that don't matter.

"I didn't expect you to be a hunter." Fan Feng was surprised, he didn't expect that a chance encounter would allow him to meet such a person. What's more, the wild waiter in front of him is still very young. He asked tentatively, "Lord Duqi, I wonder if you can forge some more equipment, we can provide the materials for free, and we will give you a purchase price that satisfies you." ”

"Sorry! It's really hard work to build this thing, and I can't forge it continuously. Duzi shook his head. Of course, he also wanted to do some business to make money, but after using the forging skill for the first time, he realized that this powerful skill actually had a cooldown, and it was a full five days.

"That's a shame."
