Chapter Seventy-Six: Departure, Moon Forest
Early the next morning, all the members of the team were ready to go.
"You didn't get a good night's rest last night?" Doudou saw that An Xu's mental state didn't seem to be very good, and asked with concern, "Do you want to wait a while before leaving?" β
"It's okay!" An Xu shook his head, he was just a little mentally tired, and it didn't affect his actions.
Buckling the shield to his arm, An Xu told Noor: "Let's leave now, and the family will be handed over to you." β
"Don't worry! Be careful, too! Knoll said seriously.
Because they were worried that the people of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group would take the opportunity to make trouble, everyone decided to let Noel stay in the station, although Yun Feng was hiding in the shadows, but after all, he also had a mission to do, and he would not stay at home all the time, it was better to have someone to watch the house.
An Xu glanced at the window on the second floor opposite, and said to Noor: "If the situation is critical, you can go to the people in that room for help." β
Noel nodded to show that he understood, a stranger lived here a few days ago, everyone knows it, but that person has been elusive, and few people have seen him.
With An Xu's personality, Noel believed that he would not be untargeted, and secretly kept this matter in mind.
"Xin'er, listen to Aunt Lina at home, it's more dangerous in the city and don't run around, do you know?" An Xu explained, and after seeing the latter's obedient agreement, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" β
The Moon Forest is not far from Hidden Moon City, it only takes half a day's journey to reach it, and no one knows exactly how big the Moon Forest is, only that it is endless, encompassing the territories of several countries.
Someone once said that if you go directly through the Moon Forest, you can reach another huge country, but no one can explore whether it is true or not, and even the Huiye Kingdom does not set up checkpoints at the entrance and exit of the Moon Forest, only some guards patrol here to prevent some low-level demon beasts on the periphery from running out and hurting people.
Everyone understands that it is completely impossible for a complete army to pass through the Moon Forest, and its center is the territory of countless high-level demon beasts, and it is impossible for any human who breaks into it to get out alive.
The destination of An Xu's trip is the outer area of the Moon Forest, which is close to the human activity area, and most of the beasts that exist are uncivilized, and there are very few low-level demon beasts, which can be regarded as a natural hunting ground.
Of course, if you don't have a certain strength, it will also be very dangerous here, and more importantly, you must be familiar with the geographical environment, once you strayed into the central area, you will be in a situation of death.
An Xu has lived here for a few years, but he is actually not familiar with the Moon Forest, so this time for the hunt, they specially hired a guide.
This guide's surname is Wang, he is already in his fifties, but his body is very tough, he was a hunter when he was young, he made a living by hunting ordinary beasts, he knew the terrain on the periphery of the Moon Forest well, and he also had extremely rich experience in surviving in the wild.
This was also the main reason why he, as an ordinary person, was able to enter and exit the Moon Forest safely.
"Over this mountain, in front of you is the realm of the Moon Forest, originally this was also the scope of the forest, but over the years, more and more people have cut down the trees in this land." The guide was very talkative, leading the way in front while chatting with An Xu.
"Old Wang, I heard that you have been hunting here for thirty years?" An Xu said curiously.
"That's not, it's not me bragging, no one in this area is more familiar with this place than me, once I was unlucky, I happened to meet a scurrying demon beast, and I was thrown off by relying on the terrain, but I was also a little injured, oh, this scar was left by that time!"
Talking about things when he was young, Lao Wang seemed particularly interested, and his dark face faintly shone with a hint of red.
As soon as you enter the Moon Forest, the light begins to dim, and it is full of old trees, their dense foliage blocking out the sunlight.
Doudou took out a bottle from the bag and handed it to everyone: "This is given by Noor, sprinkle this on your body to prevent insects, ants and poisonous snakes from biting!" β
In fact, everyone is prepared for this kind of thing, but the insect repellent powder on the market is definitely not as strong as Noor's alchemy potion, and An Xu is not polite, taking the bottle and sprinkling some on his steel armor.
Since breaking through to Samsung, An Xu began to try to wear armor made of stainless steel, with such protection, in order to play the role of the shield warrior to the limit, in the past, because of the lack of strength, it was not very convenient to move in armor, but now it has little impact.
"No, no, I have it here." Lao Wang was more honest, embarrassed to use An Xu's potion, and took out a packet of insect repellent powder and smeared it on his body.
The group began to shuttle cautiously in the forest, encountering a few ordinary beasts along the way, and ran away after seeing An Xu and them, because the target was demon beasts this time, An Xu didn't plan to attack these ordinary beasts, and let them disappear into the forest.
"Hey, it's a pity, the gray fox just now, the fur is worth dozens of silver coins." Lao Wang sighed.
An Xu smiled noncommittally, and didn't say anything, they are a mercenary team, and ordinary Orion thinking is definitely different, dozens of silver coins are indeed a lot, enough for a family to spend for a while, but An Xu and their trip this time, just the consumables they prepared are worth a lot.
If you only stare at these ordinary beasts, and finally divide them equally, you may have to lose money.
"Wait a minute!" Lao Wang motioned for everyone to stop, lay on the ground and observed for a while, sniffed his nose, and said: "There are traces of demon beasts passing by, and they haven't gone far yet, just ahead!" β
"Catch up." An Xu said decisively, it was just a lonely demon beast, there was nothing to be afraid of, besides, they were originally here to hunt demon beasts.
Everyone followed the traces and touched the past, Lao Wang couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, he had been hunting all his life, and he had never hunted demon beasts, but this time he had a chance to see it.
"See!" Doudou paused, stuck behind a big tree, and gestured to everyone.
An Xu also saw the figure of the demon beast, looking for food in the bushes on his stomach, revealing a slender tail, the demon beasts in the Moon Forest are strange, many of them can't even be named, and the one in front of him, An Xu has never seen much.
Judging from the fur, it looks like a leopard, but I don't know what level of demon beast it is.
Almost all the members of the team have little experience in hunting demon beasts, An Xu pondered for a moment, and raised his hand: "Doudou, you lock it first, don't rush to attack first, lest it run away, I'll test it, Qingqing and Fanny are ready to respondββ"
But before he could speak, a shadow sprang out.
Charging closely, he picked up the demon beast with a pick, and then picked up the two-handed big sword is a mountain slash, directly cutting the demon beast in half from the middle.
The whole process was as clean as flowing water, and before An Xu could stop it, the battle was already over, and he didn't even see what type this demon beast was.
Seeing that An Xu maintained a charging posture and stood stupidly in place, Fanny gestured at the big sword in her hand and said coolly: "First order!" β
All right! An Xu had to admit that their team included two three-star warriors, and it was indeed too cautious to deal with a low-level demon beast.
"Fanny, don't rush too fast, remember that the main purpose of our coming here is to hone team cooperation, and it's okay to deal with low-level demon beasts casually, but if you meet a high-level demon beast, indiscriminate attacks will disrupt the overall rhythm of the team!" An Xu said seriously, as the captain, he must correct everyone's mistakes.
"Oh, well!" Fanny cocked her ears and replied with an unhappy expression.
Strictly speaking, Fanny is not a mercenary, she has been staying in her hometown before, this is the first time she has traveled far away, and it is understandable that she lacks some common sense of mercenaries.
"Clean up the battlefield and move on!" An Xu put away his shield.
Lao Wang secretly smacked his tongue on the side, that is a demon beast, ordinary people encounter only a dead end, but they didn't expect it to be solved in an instant, this mercenary team is really powerful.
