CHAPTER XX: DESTINY 1
Time passed slowly, and the sky kept getting darker.
The wind and snow on the snow and frost ramp don't seem to stop at all, and it's still falling.
"What the hell dug a hole here!"
"And this endless snowfall, it looks like it can fall to the end of the world!"
In the snow-covered outer forest, Ford scolded with some trepidation as he climbed up from a failed trap hidden by snow.
"Ford, it's not a pit, it's a trap to hunt, but it's not working now!"
"Hehe, you're lucky too!"
Drew looked at Ford's embarrassed appearance with a mouth full of snow, and couldn't help but laugh.
But soon, Drew seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at the sky around him, and then said with a serious face:
"Captain Leon, it's not too late this day, you see if it's time for us to go back!"
"It's not too late in the day, is it?"
Leon turned his head and looked at Drew with some confusion.
"Captain Leon, you probably won't know about it soon after you come to the Holy City!"
"On a snowy day like this, this kind of sky means that the time is close to dusk."
"Because the surrounding world is all covered with snow-white snow, it is impossible for ordinary people to easily see it!"
"Of course, it's not too difficult to learn to see the sky, as long as you live here for a while longer, you'll understand!"
Drew smiled, but there was some disdain in his heart.
"Another out-of-town hillbilly who doesn't know anything, such a stunned young guy, every year the monsters in the mountains around the holy city always have to eat a lot!"
"But this guy from Leon is still a little clever, at least he knows how to find a local guide like himself."
"If it weren't for the fact that this guy who took shit luck got the bounty task issued by the 'Wind Mercenary Group', he would never have participated in such a rookie squad!"
"However, Afra's little chick is really good-looking!"
Drew glanced at the blue-robed magician behind him, and couldn't help but think.
"This kind of chick who has just come out to experience is also the easiest to get started, once she comes out and becomes proficient, it will be difficult to start!"
"This mission is not long, we have to find a way to do it quickly!"
"By the way, I'll try to make an appointment when I go back tonight... Well, that's all..."
Just as Drew was pondering his thoughts.
After listening to what Drew said, Leon turned his head and looked around carefully, only to realize that the sky was indeed as Drew had said.
So he turned his head and said, "Ford, how is your record?" ”
"Remember, we've found three creatures around here that aren't available on the market."
"But if you want to meet the requirements of the bounty mission, only the big white lizard with a broken tail that we just found can barely be counted as one!"
Ford patted the backpack behind him, there was not only the account of the mission, but also some evidence, like the half tail of the big lizard that escaped.
"Well, that's good!"
"It's getting late now, let's go back first, and wait tomorrow to take a look at this forest, and strive to complete the task as soon as possible!"
After a little consideration, Leon followed Drew's advice and returned to the Holy City of the Enchanted Ridge.
Although it takes at least three to four hours to get back from here, and the way back is not very safe.
But Leon still extinguished the idea of spending the night in the wilderness, this is not really his own team after all.
Soon, the five-member team set out on their way back to the Holy City.
When the team returned safely to the Holy City, several people were relieved.
Even if it's Drew!
Because every adventure represents the danger of losing your life!
......
Early the next morning, it was just getting dark.
A team of five people quietly appeared within the range of the snow and frost ramp.
"Captain Leon... Ahhh ”
"Actually, we didn't need to come so early, this mission will only take three days at most... Ahhh It can be done in three days! ”
Drew yawned with a pair of big puffy eyes.
"I know, but wouldn't it be better if we could find more types of monsters in three days, and better missions would be completed?"
"Maybe in this way, when the task is handed over, the big shots of the 'Wind Mercenary Group' can be taken a closer look!"
"Maybe we'll be able to enter the junior professional reserve of the 'Tempest Mercenary Regiment'!"
"You say you don't think so?"
Li Ang turned his head and smiled at the few people who were obviously not very good at resting.
Hill and Ford also smiled and didn't say anything.
Instead, Drew muttered softly: "Well, you're the captain, you have the final say!" ”
Li Ang glanced at the other party and didn't say anything, but led everyone to continue walking in the direction of yesterday.
Snowflakes were still falling in the sky.
However, it is much smaller than yesterday, and it seems to be weakening, which is good news.
Traces of daytime biological activity are noticeably less frequent than they were yesterday evening.
The team of five walked down the forest all the way to the depths, and for a long time they saw only some common creatures.
The group even went deep into the interior of a sparse forest where it is rumored that there are often goblins, and they did not find even a single goblin.
Of course, it is more likely that the traces of these notorious fellows have long been buried by snow.
"It's time for us to go, wait, Ciel is back!"
Looking at the area that had obviously been cut down and some obvious signs of activity, and the sparse jungle that was quiet nearby, Leon felt a little uneasy.
So he called Ciel, who was about to go to investigate.
"What's wrong?"
"This should be a camp abandoned by goblins, and as long as the goblins have been abandoned, they will definitely not be here!"
"That's all the goblin stuff."
"Also, the Fire Goblins that are active in the Snow and Frost Ramp are also included."
Drew looked at Afra with a smile and talked.
"Alright, Drew, I'm sure you're right."
"But I'm the captain of this team, and I'm in charge!"
"I've always had a bad feeling here, so I think it's time for us to go!"
Leon said in a deep voice, believing his hunch, but he couldn't explain more to his teammates present.
"I also think Leon is right, we have to hurry up, look there!"
At this time, Ford, who was standing on the side, suddenly turned pale, and pointed to a cluster of snowdrifts arching high in the distance.
A half-human-tall, red, pointy-eared bald monster was standing there looking at the people.
"Ahh
"Flame Goblin, Run!"
The moment Drew saw the red monster, he screamed!
