Chapter 180: Little Things Are Often the Stars of Annihilation
"I've said it several times, generally speaking, the first thing to pay attention to when looking for a campsite is not the water source, the field of vision, or the well-defended terrain mentioned in the book, but the underside of your ass! You may not believe it, but the biggest enemies of novice adventurers are not those who cross the line, nor those cunning monsters or those who are lost, but some small animals such as poisonous insects or poisonous snakes. Even if we are old birds, as long as we don't pay attention, we will be plotted by these vicious little guys. ”
"The location you chose must be one of the best campsites according to the description in the book, it is very close to the water source, not to mention surrounded by these big rocks, it stands to reason that as long as these big stones are used as pillars to build a little defense, you can prevent most of the monsters and evil guys."
"But I'm sorry to tell you, young chicks, that if you dare to camp here, there will be at least half as many people who will see the sun tomorrow! Don't believe it, do you? You, a man and a warrior, stand up and lay down the brimstone there, and make sure you chicks see the unbelievable. ”
The current narrator for the students from the Brilliant City Academy is Mayfly. The thieves have a second survival rate in their adventures after the Druids, Ranger and Hunters, and their excellent detection abilities allow them to avoid dangers that are often difficult to detect. It just so happens that Fremi Aika in Gillentina's team is not a ranger or a hunter, but just an archer, and he doesn't know as much about the common sense of adventure as Gillentina's warrior.
If the elven priest Lexa Falcon were a seasoned adventurer, Mayfly could have given the priest the position of teacher to the elven priest. Elves are often the best survivors in the forest, and most of them are born in the deep forest, grow up in the forest, and grow old in the forest. Generally speaking, if it is an elf who has been an adventurer, then this elf will be completely aware of the matters to pay attention to when adventuring in the forest. It's a pity that this Lexa Falcon is a true novice adventurer like these young masters. Although I am very familiar with the things in the forest, I am familiar with the forest and I am familiar with the forest in the adventure are completely different concepts! So this is not the identity of the explainer at the moment, but the identity of the learner.
This kind of task of bringing people, Gillentina, they have also taken on many times. It's just that except for most of the students from the Brilliant City Academy, who are more well-behaved and willing to listen to their old adventurers during the novice period, those so-called little ones who come to experience the adventurous life will not pay attention to all kinds of small knowledge that these old-timers have exchanged their wounds and lives for. Not calling you around as an employer is a very polite act in most cases.
If this is the case when bringing people, the average adventurer will not hesitate to choose to skip some adventure knowledge that should have been said well in the name of the employer's lack of listening. This is the employer himself must die, and these adventurers really don't have so much time to die with such an employer.
The situation of the chicks who have offended the old adventurers is often very miserable. If you are from a big family and have a mysterious figure behind you, the little ones are fine, but they will only leave some fear of adventurous life in their hearts. But if it weren't for the guys with hidden bodyguards, they would have to make up for their own ignorance at their own terrible price. Missing arms and legs or something is very rare good luck, and if you don't get the whole team in, it can be regarded as the supreme protection of God the Father and the Supreme God. According to the seemingly calm Green Shadow Forest, the rookie adventurer team that devours every year has never dropped the number of 50.
"Hey, your old headmaster of the Shenghui Empire is really good at educating people. Almost all of the adventurers from the Academy of Brilliant City were entrusted with a lot of money making it easy and enjoyable for us. If it weren't for Gina, you started a little bit faster this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to live so laxly. ”
Looking at the young masters and young ladies who were shocked by the fact that the warrior threw the sulfur into it and provoked a large nest of poisonous snakes, Marl Coal took a sip of the ale and sighed. To be honest, these imps from the Academy of the Brilliant City are really quick to learn things, and generally speaking, when led by someone, they can basically take off their novice hats and become more formal adventurers in just a month or so. And most of the guys who are brought will have to be brought for at least 2 to 3 months before they can barely get out of the adventurer novice status.
"If you want to camp near the river, you'll have to be doubly careful of bugs and snakes, and the soft, damp environment of the riverside area is a favorite of the bastards. In addition, those large rocks not only perfectly block out the sun, but also the closest to the forest in the riverside area, even if there are no dirty things now, they will be occupied by these dirty things in a few years. ”
"I have a point, these little worms and snakes are really the most troublesome guys on the adventure. Although insect repellent and the feces of high-level demonic beasts can play some role, this kind of thing is really hard to prevent. Don't forget, you and I almost confessed to that poisonous snake last year. Lexa's kid is a novice, but I didn't expect that the mayfly didn't notice that such a poisonous snake suddenly ran in. This is a complete dereliction of duty on the part of the Night's Watch. If it weren't for the fact that Lexa kid was a priest who saved us both alive, Hakvar Frey and I would have been part of the adventure and died. ”
After experiencing the betrayal of the Water Serpent last year, Gillentina and they are a little distraught, but they don't end their adventure. The time when the water snakes betrayed them was in May, a full three months before the group of adventurers like them broke up in August. In other words, they hadn't even reached the halfway point of their adventure last year, and they came to such a thing. They didn't make much money, although they were a little wary of each other at the time, but they were more unwilling to break up. Coupled with the terrifying efficiency of having a priest by their side for the first time, they unanimously chose to continue the adventure.
It's a pity that what happened about half a month after the betrayal of the water snake made them break out in a cold sweat.
Last year, although they found out that Lexa, the priest of the gold rank, was actually an adventurous fledgling, they were already a little abnormal at that time, and they did not run in time because of the appearance of new team members, but chose to continue the adventure. Fortunately, Gillentina and Mayfly, who had a little bit of sanity, began to teach Lexa some common sense and experience in the adventure, and did not let Lexa's ignorance of adventure completely become a fatal flaw for their team.
Sometimes, it is not enough to fully understand it just by talking about it, but if you practice an activity that is almost necessary in an adventure such as a vigil, you can understand it even more. So after about half a month, after letting down some of their guard against the gold-level priest from the Moon Temple, one night they let the mayfly take Lexa to keep watch for the rest of the night.
Generally speaking, in adventurous gang mercenary groups, the main members of the legal system like Lexa or Hakwal are generally not scheduled to keep vigils. Many warrior professions would rather work a little harder than arrange for these incomparably noble mages or priests to keep vigil. The mages in the team have a strong attack power that can reverse the situation at any time, and the priest is even more concerned with the injury or even the death of the warrior adventurers. If these two classes are a little restless because of the vigil or something, it will be fun to drop the chain at a critical moment. So when Lexa offered to learn how to keep vigil, Gillentina and the others were a little surprised.
Of course, since people take the initiative to learn, they don't have too many reasons to refuse. What's more, although they didn't find out on their own, each of them had been nervous since they were betrayed. This mentality brings them more fatigue. So a lot of times they want to rest more, even if it's for a while. If there are people who are willing to do such a hard thing as a vigil, why don't they do it?
It's just that none of them thought about it, and this behavior almost made a few of them run to Lord Sol to report to Lord Sol with a few guys who could rest for a while!
If it was in the past, mayflies with keen senses would detect the approach of some small animals in time, and at least the number of small animals such as poisonous insects or poisonous snakes would be greatly reduced through some means. It's just that Mayfly, who was the teacher that day, was busy teaching Lexa some common sense of vigil, and didn't notice his own fatigue, so a small poisonous snake entered their camp.
After that, it's a very common script. Sleeping Mal and Hakvar were bitten by the little snake as a tool for grinding their teeth. It's a pity that the excessive fatigue made them not wake up because of this pain at all, but because they had not detoxified for a long time, they almost became the same as the adventurer who had the most types of deaths among the adventurers - the adventurer who was bitten to death by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.
Fortunately, I don't know why, Lexa discovered their poisoning in time, and gave them a few antidotes in time, not to mention feeding them some antidotes. The heavy warriors and mages who had only woken up when Lexar was brushing up on the detoxification technique were frightened into a cold sweat by their own situation at that time, they were almost so corrupted by the toxin that they couldn't move! Gillentina, who rushed over after hearing the news, found out the little snake and killed it, only to find out that the poisonous snake had undergone a certain mutation, and was not afraid of the usual snake repellent props.
Although Mar and Hackvar were pulled back from Lord Thor by Lexey's magic, Gillentina and the others found themselves and the team in a terrible state. So just because of this incident, they invariably chose to break up early last year.
Of course, this unforgettable experience is now being taught by mayflies in disguise to the students of the Brilliant City Academy.
