Chapter 68: Chestnuts and Peaches

Under the pretext of selling mirrors, Ai Chen chatted a little with the group of aborigines he met. I learned about their basic situation.

These people are hunters from nearby villages, and they have given themselves the name 'Rust Orion Regiment'.

They entered the mountain this time to eliminate the 'sword beetles' that were breeding in the vicinity. This monster has always been a big problem for the village, and since it fell from the sky seven or eight years ago and burrowed into the mountains and forests, it has now multiplied to a considerable scale, killing several people.

If you continue to let it go and let the sword beetles multiply, in another two years, I am afraid that only the tower guards of 'Spire City' will be able to deal with it.

So, the villagers scraped together some money to buy good equipment for their Orion Regiment, and let them go into the mountains to hunt for sword beetles. Eddie the Hunter, the leader of the Rusty Orions, is a radical who intends to neutralize the threat as soon as possible. Today happens to be the day of their showdown with the knife beetle. The one just killed is just one of them, and there are many more to come.

Eddie smiled and pointed to a crypt not far in front of him, and said, "We mixed the honey that the sword beetle loves to eat with animal meat, wormwood, and other things, and put it in that cave. According to my calculations, there are about seven or eight hidden inside, and they are already desperate. We now just need to lure them out one by one and kill them, trying to keep the prey and materials intact as much as possible. It doesn't take much effort to solve the problem once and for all. ”

"Seven or eight?"

Ai Chen touched the red ring on the back of his hand with his finger, turned on the monster radar and once again confirmed the number of monsters in front of him. Far from seven or eight, but a dense group of seventy or eighty.

"Well, if the number of monsters is more than you predicted. For example, ten times more, can you handle it? ”

Eddie shook his head, "I can't deal with it." Knife beetles, as long as they gather a certain number, rarely act alone. I won't be able to beat it then. ”

Hearing this, Ai Chen kindly reminded: "Then you'd better stop the booby trap work for a while." There must have been more than seven or eight in that hole. ”

As a hunter, Eddie doesn't take the concerns of a layman seriously.

"Let's talk about the mirror. Shall I exchange the scythe of the beetle with you? ”

"Okay." Aichen happily agreed, and then put forward additional conditions, "In addition, you must protect me to return to your village, where I intend to stay for a while." It's dangerous to walk through this forest alone. ”

Eddie agreed, and the two sides closed the deal. The rest of the Rust Hunters had already dismembered the scarab they had just killed, and took out the bait to seduce the second one.

Aichen sat at a distance, picked up his internal qi, and was ready to wipe their butts.

He didn't do it for the pleasure of helping others, he needed to bring a good name into the village, and then let the villagers lead him into the city, preferably to meet the ruling class in the city.

Now that the game has started, it's time to follow the planned route. Aichen plans to form an alliance with the human army here, first loot the treasures of this world, register in the mall to earn points, and then use the points to buy 998 power points 'War Pack'. The pack includes 100 million rounds of ammunition and 10,000 rifles, perfect for fighting a large number of enemies.

With his previous experience in teaching people to use guns in the Shuo Clan's cottage, Ai Chen is still quite confident in this plan. The only difficulty is that they do not know how to win the trust of the ruling class here, and it seems difficult to convince them that 'winter is coming'.

While Aichen sat on the ground and worried, the hunters had prepared the bait, a large lump of meat coated with honey and spices, and tied it with rope.

Several people plan to throw the meat into the cave and slowly pull it out. Before they could get to work, there was a sound of footsteps in the mountains and forests not far away, and a group of men and women in ragged clothes and steel knives came out of the bushes.

Eddie's face darkened when he saw these people, "It's a robber!" ”

The hunters reached for their weapons and tried to resist, but the robbers took a quick step and aimed their crossbow arrows at everyone present. Including Aichen.

"Lay down your arms." A woman in her twenties stood up and threatened: "I'll count three times, throw away my weapon if I don't want to die, raise my hand over my head, and turn around." ”

Seeing that the thieves were prepared, Eddie knew that his team had been ambushed today.

"I've been a hunter all my life, but I haven't found other people's traps."

As the regiment commander, Eddie laughed at himself and dropped his weapon. Although the rest of the people were helpless, they also did it honestly.

They also know this gang of robbers, old neighbors, and have always lived in the mountains. Usually there is little disturbance of the village. It seems that because this winter came relatively early, the bandit village is not having a good time, so an exception was made to attack the people of Rust Village.

"Not bad, Rust Village's hunters. I actually found the colony of the knife beetle! ”

The robber girl counted the spoils, and her dirty face bloomed with a smile. She had brown tousled hair, which was long, falling down to the knee sockets, like a cloak. The face is not good-looking, but the thin lips on the high bridge of the nose are very distinctive, and some models are like.

As a robber, she was dirty. Eddie's Orions were dirty, but they weren't a match for this woman.

In the midst of these people, the white and pure Aichen stood out from the crowd, and was discovered by this robber girl without any suspense.

"Oh, there's a strange face here." She walked up to Aichen, gestured menacingly with a knife, and asked, "Stranger, where are you from?" Do you have any possessions? ”

"I'm just a traveler, I don't have much money."

"Hmph, every Scrooge says he doesn't have any money." The woman shoved the dirty knife into her mouth and bit it, and searched her body with her hands free.

Aichen was touched by the woman, sniffing her smell. It's strange that such a dirty person has a very good smell of chestnuts on his body.

"Haha, isn't there a good thing!" The robber searched the small mirror, opened it and played with it, "This thing must sell for a lot of money, right?" ”

Eddie was upset to see his wife's gifts being snatched away.

"It's cheap, just worth the sickle of a knife beetle."

The female robber was very disdainful when she heard this, "You want to deceive me Chestnut Gas? You're still tender. This mirror must be a treasure, you see it is so flat, and there are delicate carved patterns on the back, it is not sure that it is something that flows out of the 'White Stone Tower'. I'm going to keep it for myself as a dowry! ”

Nicknamed 'Chestnut Hair' and given the name 'Garnis'. At the beginning of the year, the female robber robbed a large vote, and miraculously escaped without casualties, so she was regarded as the leader, queen, and goddess of luck by the bandit gang, and obeyed her words.

Now that winter is coming, the robbers are not even ready for the winter's hides. Chestnut Garnis had to make another move, and another big one.

They set their sights on the Rust Hunters hunting for sword beetles, intending to take over the sword beetles, which were covered in precious materials.

After putting away the mirror, Garnis walked up to Eddie and pointed to the cave in front of him and asked, "Tell me the truth, how many beetles are hidden in there?" ”

Eddie glanced at his companion who was holding the knife to his neck, and had to tell the truth, "Seven or eight, no more than ten." ”

Ai Chen, who was on the side, heard this, raised his hand to speak, and corrected: "I'm sorry. According to my speculation, there should be seventy-nine of them. "He's just counted.

Chestnut Hair Garnis listened to the numbers reported by the two, grabbed his messy hair and thought for a while, and finally chose to believe Eddie.

"Hmph, you white and pure peach-scented boy, don't try to lie to me. If there were really seventy-nine sword beetles inside, would Eddie still run to hunt? That's not looking for death. So I believe Eddie! ”

"Peach?" Aichen frowned, "The shampoo I use is lemon-flavored. Are you sure you can tell the difference between peaches and lemons? ”

"Lemon?" Garnis leaned his face over Achen, grabbing his head and sniffing it. "It's still a peach, and there's no lemon."

"Hard-mouthed." Ai Chen didn't bother to deal with them, "Anyway, I warned you, if you want to die, you can go." ”

Garnis nodded, and had Ashen and the hunters tied up together, and then led them into the cave to hunt.

As robbers, they don't cherish the fur materials on their prey like Orion, and they don't bother to lead them one by one, just rush up and kill as much as they want. As for how much complete material will be left after the battle, it's all up to luck.
