Chapter 61: Sweet Water Oasis
Early the next morning, Chen Zhuo took Bonnie to the east gate of Hearthstone, and Charles and Naxi greeted Chen Zhuo and greeted them: "Ha, Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be earlier than Marcus!" ”
"That's not as early as you, how long have you been waiting? Bonnie, this is Charles, this is Naxi. ”
A few people got to know each other, and Charles said, "My home is in the east of the city, and it's convenient to come here." As he spoke, Marcus arrived with a hound.
"Hey, morning, I wasn't too late, was I?"
"No, no, to be exact, we all arrived early, and by the way Marcus, this dog is what you call a hound?"
Chen Zhuo looked at Marcus's hunting dog, looking like a German shepherd, Marcus said: "Yes, its name is Riston, it has a very sensitive sense of smell, and it can help us detect many dangers first, let's go?" ”
"Good!" As they spoke, they walked out of the east gate of Hearthstone, passed through the morning market outside the city, and walked into the barren land.
"Anyway...... Marcus. Chen Zhuo asked as he walked, "Are you sure you want to take Riston into the Wailing Cave?" As far as I know, new beasts that step into a cave attract the beasts inside. ”
"Oh? Chen, you know that, too? There's a saying, but you probably don't know that my Riston used to train in wailing. ”
"What? Training in the Wailing Cave? ”
"Hey, Chen, don't be so surprised. This is the work of Lord Layton! At the beginning, he led a group of hounds into the wailing cave for training, and although half of them were killed and wounded, all the surviving hounds successfully advanced. Oh, I heard that Lord Layton personally commanded the battle, and in the end the hounds were no longer able to attract the beasts in the cave, so Lord Leighton came out with the hounds. ”
After listening to Marcus's introduction, Chen Zhuo looked at Riston's eyes and obviously admired a lot. After sneaking around the barren land for a while, five men and one dog came to an outpost, rented a large carriage, and headed to the Sweetwaters Oasis outpost. Along the way, several people talked and laughed, especially Marcus, who always used Bonnie's name to ridicule Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo was embarrassed in the end, but Bonnie didn't say anything, just looked at everyone silently with a smile. Then Bonnie in the carriage took off her cloak, and the graceful lines of her bewitching figure were suddenly exposed to the air, and even the honest Charles stared at Bonnie intently. And Marcus swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, stared at Bonnie and said to Chen Zhuo: "Chen, you are so blessed!" ”
Chen Zhuo silently replied in his heart: "It's a pity that you can't enjoy it!" Bonnie sensed Chen Zhuo's thoughts very sensitively, and smiled at Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo suddenly remembered that Bonnie could sense his thoughts, and secretly said that it was not good. I saw Bonnie slowly crawling towards Chen Zhuo in front of everyone's eyes, climbed on Chen Zhuo's shoulder, kissed and licked Chen Zhuo's ear on it.
"Ahh "Wow!" A few screams startled the groom outside the car, Naxi looked at Bonnie's actions and blushed, and subconsciously glanced at Charles, this scene was fully seen by Marcus, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Chen, it turns out that you are chased by the entourage like Charles, well, it's just that Bonnie is more active than Naxi, and Charles is slightly sluggish compared to you......"
"Charles!"
"Brother Chen! Needless to say, let's go together! ”
After Chen Zhuo and Charles finished "repairing" Marcus, they also arrived at the outpost of Sweetwater Oasis, and Chen Zhuo Charles left Marcus and got off the carriage with their respective entourage.
In addition to a few simple houses in the outpost, there is also a high watchtower, and a troll walked towards Chen Zhuo and the others: "Hello respected adventurers, I am Delong, the stationmaster of the Sweetwater Oasis outpost, are you going to step into the Sweetwater Oasis?" ”
Marcus was still "cheating" in the car, and Charles wouldn't open his mouth at all, so Chen Zhuo had to reply: "Yes, Stationmaster Delong, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Adventurers, it's autumn now, and there will be some fierce beasts in the Sweetwater Oasis that will come out to hunt and store them for the winter, I hope you will be careful when you enter the Sweetwater Oasis."
"Thank you, Stationmaster Delong, we'll be careful."
Delon nodded, made a troll ritual gesture, and left.
"By the way, Brother Chen, do you know how to get to the Wailing Cave?"
"I don't know, Charles, what about you?"
"I don't know, it looks like we're going to have to drag Marcus over."
As soon as the words fell, as if Marcus had heard Charles's words, he jumped out of the carriage and shouted at Charles, "Ha! You can't move an inch without me! Don't wait for me yet! ”
After Marcus finished speaking, Chen Zhuo and Charles turned their heads: "Why don't we ask for directions?" ”
"Good idea, Brother Chen, maybe we can buy a map too."
"Well, your attention is not bad, let's go!"
"Hey, hey, hey! You're ignoring me! Seeing that Chen Zhuo and the four of them had left, Marcus hurriedly rushed over with Riston and followed Chen Zhuo and the four of them into the oasis.
There are many oases in the barren lands, but the Sweetwater Oasis is the largest. And the Sweet Water Oasis is just like its name, the water of the river inside is sweet. Along the way, the five people talked and laughed, and it didn't look like they were going to wail and do tasks, but more like they came out to camp. It wasn't until noon that the five of them stopped to eat the food they were carrying.
"Hey, Charles, do you want to eat that deer?" Marcus, who was munching bread, pointed to Charles in the distance.
Charles saw a lonely deer in the distance and looked back at Marcus: "Good idea, what do you think, Brother Chen?" ”
Chen Zhuo also looked at the deer in the distance, about 50 steps away, Chen Zhuo, who had "beast knowledge", quickly learned that it was just an ordinary wild deer, and nodded at Charles. The three of them said they would do it, and Marcus took the two of them and a dog to quietly approach the wild deer, and said to Chen Zhuo: "Chen, after entering the battle state for a while, I will immediately summon a shotgun to snipe it from a distance, and if you don't succeed, you can make up a slightly gentler magic." Don't do lightning magic like last time, it's going to scorch this deer. Chen Zhuo nodded.
"Okay, the distance is almost over, Charles, you say three-two-one, I'll enter the battle with Chen. Riston! I'll see you later! ”
Riston fell on his front legs, everyone was ready, and Charles began to say, "Three, two, one!" ”
Marcus and Chen Zhuo entered the battle state at the same time, as soon as Marcus stretched out his hand, a brown sniper rifle appeared in front of him, Marcus did not hesitate to aim and shoot directly, but when entering the combat state, the wild deer was obviously frightened, and the instinct of the creature made the bullet miss the deer body and hit the deer's leg, and Riston heard the gunfire and rushed towards the wild deer like an arrow off the string. The three-legged deer was visibly aware of the danger to his life, but he was able to run as fast as a walk compared to Riston. Marcus smiled and said to Chen Zhuo: "Haha, Chen, it seems that we don't need your help, we can get out of the war." ”
Chen Zhuo said on the side: "Actually, I didn't like you to say that I only reacted after you fired that shot just now, all my magic will have a burning effect, if you can't hit this shot, we can only eat burnt venison." ”
"Haha, frost-based magic is also attached?"
"I've never tried this!"
After a while, Riston caught up with the deer and managed to bite it to death, dragging it towards Marcus.
"Let's go! Let's go up and help! ”
Charles carried the dead deer, Chen Zhuo and Marcus picked up nearby branches, and followed Riston back to the makeshift camp. Marcus directly tore off a deer leg and threw it to Riston, cut off the remaining venison, inserted a thicker stick, Chen Zhuo started a fire, and the three of them started a roast deer business.
The fragrant venison had a delicate amount of fat, and even Naxi and Bonnie couldn't help but take a few bites. Chen Zhuo and the three of them held a deer leg and cultivated it.
Just when Chen Zhuo finished gnawing on the deer leg and was about to eat the venison, Riston on the side suddenly abandoned the deer leg and roared, Marcus saw this and hurriedly said: "No, the aroma of venison attracts fierce beasts." But no, there shouldn't be any beasts in this place where we dare to hunt for us. ”
"Ah, I forgot to tell you before, the soldiers at the outpost told us that there will be fierce beasts coming out to feed for food during this time!"
"That's right! Damn, I ignored the things that are going to be winter, everyone prepare, this beast should be around the 5th order, otherwise you won't dare to argue with us! ”
Listening to Marcus's words, everyone put down their food, faced the direction of Riston's low roar, and took out their weapons. In the blink of an eye, a maned lion appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and Chen Zhuo slapped a beast knowledge, and suddenly found that it didn't work. After the advancement, Chen Zhuo can obtain all the beasts within the 4th order, it seems that this beast is really just like Marcus said, and asked, "Marcus, do you know this beast?" ”
"Acquaintance, Rank 5 long-maned prairie lion. The usual attributes are 5 attack damage and 30 health, which is already an excellent attribute among beasts. And it's fast, with sharp teeth, sharp claws, and the ability to blitze. ”
"Blitz? Flashing to our back to attack? ”
"That's right, the distance is about 10 meters, everyone be careful!"
The lion roared twice at the people, and the majestic roar startled the birds and insects around him, and Marcus suddenly said, "Wait, it seems to just need food!" ”
"Marcus, you know the language of beasts?"
"Yes, I still know a little bit about some languages, and this lion doesn't want to risk it."
Chen Zhuo looked at the lion and asked Marcus: "What do we do, a big battle or a hurry?" ”
Marcus thought for a while: "Give up the venison, we have almost eaten it, the long-sideburned prairie lion is here and the coyote is also near here, we may be able to defeat the lion all the time, but it will be less auspicious in the face of a group of coyotes." ”
After some discussion, Chen Zhuo and the others decided to evacuate, Marcus took the lead in bypassing the lion, Charles and Chen Zhuo were behind, and at the same time, Riston was on the side, and they drove for about an hour, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I found a few coyotes on our way just now, but luckily they were not of much interest to us, and it seems that our way to wail is going to be detoured, and if we go straight, we will pass by a river, and there will be a lot of animals, and there will be predatory beasts."
"Well, let's take a detour, after all, it's better to be safe and avoid some unnecessary battles."
