18. The so-called simpler way
"I have an easier way."
As Su Yan's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but light up.
With the current level of strength of the Storm Mercenary Group, it is indeed a little more difficult to deal with the Carbine Two-Horned Rhinoceros.
In fact, Steulson was ready to recuperate from injury – just injured, not serious, after all, he had hunted carbine double-horned rhinoceros several times, and naturally knew how to better protect himself. And after all, Su Yan had just joined the Storm Mercenary Group, and Stuelsen was not too embarrassed to let Su Yan and himself fight head-on, so he offered to help him resist the charge and impact of the Carbine two-horned rhinoceros to provide others with higher opportunities to attack.
After all, Su Yan was able to defeat Fan Er in one move, which naturally proved that his strength was definitely above Lena.
That's why he arranged for Lena to respond.
However, when making this plan, he was still a little worried that Su Yan would think that they wanted him to die.
After all, the most dangerous job in this mission is to stop the carbine two-horned rhinoceros.
And now, Su Yan said that he had a better way, and Steulson was naturally very happy.
"It would be great if you had an easier way, Mr. Levy." The sadness on Steulson's face disappeared in an instant.
"What's the method?" Lena, who was on the side, also asked.
"It's very simple, as long as you attract the Carbine Two-Horned Rhino head-on, Mr. Steulson, when the time comes." Su Yan opened his mouth and said, "Just let it run, but you have to be careful not to be hit by it, otherwise it will be a little troublesome." ”
"Just grab the attention and run with the carbine two-horned rhinoceros?" Stulson blinked, dazed.
What is the easy way to do this?
Isn't it the same as the plan he just proposed? It's just that Su Yan is missing as a helper.
"Yes." Su Yan nodded.
"And what if you force it to stop?" Lena vaguely felt that something wasn't quite right.
"No, I don't." Su Yan shook his head.
"Don't need it?" Lena was also confused, "You mean, we don't need to stop the carbine two-horned rhinoceros?" ”
"Yes." Su Yan nodded again, "The explosiveness of the Carbine two-horned rhinoceros is actually not fast, and the endurance is not good. I think with Mr. Steulson's strength, he should be able to run with a carbine rhinoceros without being knocked off. But there's one thing to be aware of, and that's that I want Mr. Steulson to try to keep the carbine parallel to me when he drives the carbine rhinoceros around. ”
"I can do this, but if I don't stop it, how can other people attack?" Sturson asked.
"You don't need them to attack."
"So what are we going to do?" Lena asked.
"You guys? Just take a look at it when the time comes. Su Yan didn't know what to do with Lena and the others, "Oh, maybe you can help me take care of Anna." ”
In fact, Su Yan felt that he could solve the carbine two-horned rhinoceros alone. But with so many people in his hands, Su Yan naturally wouldn't be a hero, after all, having someone to help attract the attention of the Carbine Horned Rhino would make his job easier and easier.
"Help you take care of Anna?" Lena's voice couldn't help but raise a few points, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Naturally, he was responsible for killing the carbine two-horned rhinoceros." Su Yan looked at Lena with an expression of "Are you an idiot", which made Lena a a little on the verge of going berserk.
"You're alone?" Lena's voice had become stiff.
Su Yan nodded again, this time he was too lazy to answer.
"Mr. Levy, that's a Carbine two-horned rhinoceros, a xenomorphic beast, not an ordinary rhinoceros." Steulson can naturally see Lena's anger, for the daughter of his old friend, Stuelsen can be said to have watched each other grow up since she was a child, and her temperament is naturally very clear, so he opened his mouth to try to ease the atmosphere.
"I'm talking about the carbine two-horned rhinoceros. If it's an ordinary rhinoceros, I don't even need to shoot it. ”
Steulson was visibly choked and didn't know how to speak.
"Could it be...... Does Mr. Su Yan know magic? Stuelsen hesitated, but asked.
The carbine two-horned rhinoceros has a strong physical resistance, but its magical defense is pitifully weak. With a few magic attacks on its head, the behemoth is almost ready to announce GG. And Stuhlson saw that Su Yan said so calmly, obviously thinking about it.
"No, I don't." Su Yan opened his mouth and said.
He said no, not that he wouldn't.
It's just that Su Yan doesn't want to expose his ability to do magic for the time being.
It's just that because of Su Yan's attitude and tone, everyone in the Storm Mercenary Group has some opinions about him, so everyone didn't hear the subtext in Su Yan's words. Their attitude towards Su Yan's words was just to roll their eyes, completely as if they didn't want to deal with him anymore.
Even Steulson felt that it was already a mistake for him to recruit Su Yan as a foreign aid.
His heart was dripping blood.
Because in the past five days, he had to pay an average of close to six gold coins per day for Su Yan and his daughter. In just five days, it was the cost of thirty gold coins, which was already equivalent to the normal expenses of a family of three in Akhara City for a year.
Today's Storm Mercenary Group is not what it used to be, and there is not much savings left.
Like the current silver-level mercenary mission, their remuneration is only about thirty gold coins at most after deducting the intermediary fee of the mercenary guild, and it is evenly distributed to the members of each attendance task, which is only four or five gold coins. And in the past few days, Su Yan's father and daughter have spent the salary of this task, and it is obviously impossible to say that the people of the Storm Mercenary Group have no grievances.
It's just that because of Stuhlson's pressure before, and everyone did have expectations for Su Yan, nothing happened.
Looking at Su Yan's attitude now, it is obviously impossible for these people to give Su Yan a good look, and they just regard him as a person with a little strength but no knowledge of the sky.
Steulson looked at the faces of the others and knew that if they really encountered the Carbine two-horned rhinoceros, they would definitely not make a move, so he thought about watching Su Yan's joke. But knowing this, Stuelsen could only smile helplessly, after all, he was the one who lured the Carbine two-horned rhinoceros in front, and if there was a real accident, I am afraid that the first unlucky person would be him, right?
"If it's as simple as your method, why don't you go up and lure it, and then we'll kill it?" The corner of Lena's eyes caught Stuhlson's wry smile, and immediately reacted, if they really didn't help at that time, then once something happened, it would definitely be Stuelsen who was unlucky.
And the other two, hearing Lena's words, also made expressions.
"Because you don't have enough strength, you can't kill the carbine two-horned rhinoceros." Su Yan said mercilessly.
That tone was very inadequate.
"Ugh." Seeing this scene, Stuelsen finally sighed helplessly.
……
"Dad, they don't seem to like us very much." Anna arched Su Yan's chin with her little head and said softly.
The little guy is very sensitive, and almost no slightest change in mood can escape her capture.
Su Yan knew that this was a potential talent that only excellent magicians could have. If Anna can perfectly develop this potential, then her future achievements will definitely not be low - or, with Su Yan, Anna's future achievements will indeed not be low.
It's just that Su Yan didn't plan to squeeze and develop Anna's talent, what he hoped more was that Anna could live a carefree and free life.
As for whether he was a powerful and excellent magician, Su Yan didn't care at all.
"Well, because they're too weak, and the gap between them and your dad and me is too big." Su Yan's chin rested on Anna's head, and then said with a smile, "The weak will always reject the strong, because they are jealous and envious, but they can't face up to their own gaps and weaknesses. …… We have to forgive them, after all, they are all fools. ”
"Okay, Dad." Anna nodded, with a teachable expression, "Then Anna will forgive those fools." ”
"Good." Su Yan smiled.
By this time it was already nightfall.
At the end of the day, Su Yan had been following Stuelson and them towards the area of activity of the Carbine two-horned rhinoceros provided by the mission information.
According to Steulson's estimates, this journey will take about three days.
However, Su Yan knew that even if he rushed to the area where the target was active, he might not be able to find the target at the first time, and he would have to look for it there for a few days. The only fortunate thing is that the carbine two-horned rhinoceros is very territorial, and they only appear in pairs during the breeding and rearing periods, otherwise they live alone, so they don't have to worry about being flanked or besieged.
But after this day's time together, Su Yan and the members of the Storm Mercenary Group looked very unpleasant.
Not to mention a tacit understanding between each other, I'm afraid not stabbing each other in the back is already a thing for Steulson to be thankful for.
Su Yan knew the reason, in fact, when everyone introduced themselves at breakfast together in the morning, he and Anna had already felt the dissatisfaction and hostility of these people towards them. But Su Yan didn't think that he needed to be wronged to get along with them, the relationship between him and the Storm Mercenary Group was actually a cooperative relationship, he helped the Storm Mercenary Group solve the demotion crisis, and re-laid a foundation for the development of the Storm Mercenary Group, and the Storm Soldier gave him a guarantor and was responsible for recommending him to participate in the assessment.
Both sides can be said to take what they need.
Even logically, it should be that the Storm Mercenary Group needs to curry favor with him.
However, the people of the Storm Mercenary Group had a serious psychological imbalance with his high expenses in the past five days, and Su Yan also felt that he didn't need to get used to the other party.
Therefore, the contradictions between the two sides have deepened.
In this way, it is natural to suffer Steulson, who is the head of the regiment.
As a result, after nightfall, a clear boundary line was formed between Su Yan and the Storm Mercenary Group, and no one on either side paid attention to anyone.
"I don't think you have prepared dry food, and we mercenaries can't eat anything good when we're walking outside, so you can just get down." Stuerson finally settled the old team members, and then saw that Su Yan was just sitting on the side with Anna in his arms, and did not feed Anna, so he came over with this bag of dry food and a bag of water.
"Thank you." Originally, Su Yan planned to go hunting to get some game, but since Stuelsen planned to be this good guy, he had no reason to refuse.
"We just had a painful memory, in which many of our compatriots have left us, so everyone's mood is not very good, I hope you can understand." Sturson glanced back at Lena and the others, and then sighed softly, "Especially Lena's father......"
"I understand." Su Yan took out a slice of bacon, then tore it into shreds, and fed Anna little by little, "I didn't bother with them. After all, it's just a mutually beneficial deal between me and you, isn't it? ”
"Yes." Stuhlson smiled bitterly, "But I still think your method is ......."
"Do you believe me?" Before Steulson could finish speaking, Su Yan had already opened his mouth to interrupt the other party's words.
