Chapter 026: The Shadow That Gradually Approached the Team, But ......

We climbed up the mountain trail step by step, and finally, as Taylor's map showed, we reached the point where the trail began to turn downhill. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Witnesses seem to have seen goblins here.

At this point, Taylor turned to me and asked:

"Yuhang, how's it going? Do you have any reaction to the Sensing Enemy skill?"

Of course there are, and there are many more.

"There was a lot of reaction as we walked down the mountain and turned that corner, and as for the direction we went up the mountain, there was no sign of a rookie hunter approaching yet."

But there are a lot of breaths, no less than ten.

There are so many that I can't count them.

"If there are many, they're goblins, because goblins act collectively."

Chiss said this lightly.

"No, I haven't dealt with goblins, so I don't know, but will there be so many? How many goblins should there be in a group? I sensed it, but there were so many of them that I couldn't count them."

And I asked rhetorically. Hearing my reaction, Lynne seemed uneasy.

"Now, na, are there really that many? Since Yuhang has said so, let's sneak out how many there are first, and then ...... if we can beat them."

That's when Lynn got to that......

"Don't worry! You can't always let Yuhang perform! Okay, let's go!"

At the same time, Chiss rushed out towards the downhill corner where the goblins were.

Then Taylor rushed out as well, and then the two men bricked at the same time, and shouted as they went back:

"That's too much, isn't it?" 」

Immediately after that, there was a large group of goblins numbering no less than thirty.

This is the famous goblin! I see, it's a small ghost!

They were only as tall as Ah Zhen, but almost all of them were armed and rushed straight at us. It's kind of threatening. But is it really good to kill like this? There's always a sense of looking up to be invited to tea by a child protection organization......

And seeing this scene, Lynn's face twitched, and she shouted:

"Didn't I say that! So didn't I say that! Didn't I say it would be better to hide and count the numbers secretly?"

Lynn, who was crying, and Chis, who was the archer, Taylor protected her behind him, and he stood in front of him.

"Goblins are usually in groups of ten at most! Damn, even if you run away directly, it is very likely that you will bump into the rookie hunter and be attacked! So let's do it!"

Taylor shouted, and Lynn and Chis, with expressions of tragedy and grandeur, began to prepare to attack.

But this kind of crisis is obviously in crisis, but I always have a feeling that I can't get on the stage. Maybe it's because I've often seen 'big scenes', so I don't think the thirty-odd goblins are intimidating...... So I unconsciously complained:

"Excuse me, didn't you count these guys as bait for rookie hunters to come over, and it would take a certain amount of time to delay the adventurer, so that he could leave at will, and at the same time have more time to rush back and clean up the pieces? This variable should be a normal change, right?"

"We didn't know we had to think about this!" 」」

It's life and death, and it's natural to complain about anger at me. In other words, this reflection is normal......

"All in all, it was me and Chis who didn't think it through,...... Yuhang, where's your sword??"

As my teacher of the sword, Taylor's eyes widened when he found that I was actually empty-handed at this time.

"Mr. Lu Yuhang, I know that you have been teaming up with high-level professionals, this kind of more than thirty goblins is trivial to high-level professionals, but we are not high-level professionals. I can't take care of you at all in a fight!! Please respect yourself !!."

Chiss complained angrily. And then—

"It hurts! Damn, I've been shot! Feed! There's a goblin with a bow!"

At this time, the goblins, regardless of whether we were fighting or not, let out strange cries and rushed up the mountain road towards us!

By the way, it's a mountain road, and we're on the other side of the cliff. So Taylor and Kees didn't run after they ran back before......

We are currently organizing a formation above the slope to meet the enemy. But the enemy-

"Ratch! Tsk-twss!"

Probably means shooting. Some arrows flew sparsely, which reminded me of the previous crusade against a nest of arrow hedgehogs, only to be chased and killed by dozens of arrow hedgehogs. At that time, the thorns were overwhelming, and all of us survived by Ah Zhen's continuous reply. Of course, after inevitable insomnia for several days...... Mahjong played forty-eight rounds&.

"Lynn, use the wind-based defensive magic!"

Just as my thoughts were drifting away, Chiss shouted. But-

"Lynn can't sing, but she shouldn't be able to catch up! Let's all find a way to dodge it!"

Taylor yelled at Chis.

"'WindBreath'!"

With a flick of my finger, the primary-level wind magic that temporarily shouted like this blew away the arrows flying towards us.

"Jade, Jade Hang! Well done, well done!"

Just as Taylor shouted in front of me with his shield raised, Lynn's magic seemed to be done.

「『WindCurtain』!」

While she was shouting like this, a gust of wind blew around us.

That's right, that's magic!

This is the support magic of a real magician!

This must be something that can deflect the arrow or something. It's much better than my family's magician who only explodes once a day!!

And just as I was moved by the sight of what a true magician should be, I shouted to Lynn:

"Lynn, in this kind of terrain, I should use 'CreateWater'!"

I chanted elementary water magic, infused with a lot of magic to create a large area of water.

Water poured down the ramp from where Taylor had blocked the enemy.

"Yuhang? What the hell are you doing......

Lynn's voice of doubt came from behind.

「『Freeze』!」

I'm using all my might to cast my rudimentary freezing magic!

"Oh oh!" 」」

The three men except me screamed, and a large sheet of thin ice formed at the goblins' feet.

Thin Ice easily stumbled the goblins, sending them tumbling in all directions.

As the goblins slowly walked up, trembling their feet trying to hold themselves in an unsteady position, Taylor stood firmly on the dry ground and slashed them safely.

In this situation, you shouldn't get hurt, right?

Then I pulled out my long-lost sword.

"Taylor! Goblins that can climb up in such harsh ground conditions are up to you! Those goblins that didn't climb up should be handed over to Lynn and Chis, who can attack from a distance! I'm waiting for the opportunity to move......

As I spoke, I started stealth, and at the same time, I was sincerely pleased to be able to cooperate well with the team members.

"Good job, good job, leave it to me if it's okay! Hey, you two, do it! In this situation, no matter how many enemies there are, it won't be a problem, let's kill those goblins!"

Taylor still nodded to where I had long since left, and shouted to Chiss and Lynn. And Chess and Lynn are-

"Uh-haha-ha, how is this, it's so easy! Watch me shoot them all into honeycombs!"

"Look at me! I'm going to shoot a powerful spell right in the middle of that group—!"

So, after defeating the goblins, we set out on our way home.

「…… Phew, I—I've never heard of magic working like that! Why is the greatest hero today the primary magic?"

"That's it! When I was in the Academy of Magic, the teachers taught us. Elementary magic, it's just a waste of skill points if you learn it! Hehe, hehehe, knot, what is the result!"

"Uh-haha-ha, oh bad, this is the first time to be able to crusade against a goblin so easily! Heck, when I saw such a big group of goblins, I thought I was going to be finished here!"

On the way back to the town along the mountain road, Taylor and the others reflected on the battle they had just had.

The three of them chatted happily about the battle just now, and they were still extremely excited. Truth be told, aren't these guys too excited to forget that these goblins are bait for rookie hunters? But it's rare that they're so happy, so don't spoil their interest...... Anyway, it's not a big crisis.

"Strange? Something seems to be coming at us very quickly?"

He is worthy of being the master of my eagle eye skills, and his eyesight is better than mine.

That's when my enemy-sensing skills sensed that guy. But it's not bad......

The black beast rushed straight towards us in the middle of the meadow at dusk.

"Rookie Hunter!" 」」

Taylor, Chis, and Lynn screamed at the same time.

"Please, do you need to be so surprised? Let's eat other people's bait, and other fishermen can also order it."

"At this time, what are you talking about?!"

Chiss, so cursed.

At this time, Taylor, who was in the front, held up his sword and said to us:

"Lynn! You take Brother Yuhang and flee to the town! I'll hold him back, and Chiss will stay behind to cover me! When we got back to town, we rushed to the guild and called for someone to support us!"

"Oh! That's right! Bag, bag, bag, bag on me! It's also said that Yuhang is obviously a member of other teams, but he is the hardest working one today! It's our turn to work hard this time!"

Hey, hey, hey, such lines are too handsome!

How can you say such a handsome line as "leave it to us here, you go first"!

"I—I know! Let's go, Yuhang!"

Lynn called out to me, grabbing my hand and preparing to punch.

- But.

There's no way I'm going to choose to leave them here and run away on my own.

The rookie hunter is already within reach.

The target he locked on was naturally Taylor, who was in the way.

"Wait, wait, Yuhang! Won't you run away?"

Lynn let go of her grip on me, confused that I didn't move. And I listened to his panicked voice, and shouted softly to prevent the rookie hunter from hearing it. Of course, I shook my head in refusal......

Smile at Lynn and go into a dormant state.

"Come on! Just let the horses come, you hairball!"

It's not a taunting skill, it's Taylor shouting. Then the dime lowered its body and prepared to go into invisibility...... Sure enough, he deserves the title of rookie hunter, and he is really vigilant. But-

"'Diamond Breath!' 」

At a relatively close mid-range, I blew out a self-created combination of "Freeze" and "WindBreath" on the eyes of the rookie hunter. A large amount of ice flew into its eyes, causing the rookie hunter to fall directly to the ground.

"Roar! Ahh

Even though we couldn't see with our eyes, the rookie hunter was already lying on the ground and hissing to scare us. And then he was invisible in front of Taylor and the others...... And then the eggs.

「『DrainTouch』『DrainTouch』『DrainTouch』……」

"Roar~~!! Roar~~ah~ah~"

I'm a bit obscene, but in fact, after using up the combination skills early in the morning, I went around behind the rookie hunter and grabbed the rookie hunter's tail, and at the same time quietly activated the lich's life capture skill......

Probably in front of Taylor, Chis, and Lynn, except for the feeble roar of the rookie hunter. You can't see anything...... Or is it already dumbfounded?? Stealth Baby vs. Stealth Baby......

Afterwards.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't the full Shadow Panther worth anything?"

「…… No, Yuhang - my brother is very valuable......

"I'm worth a lot?"

"No...... Be! I mean, it's worth a lot of money?"

Taylor began to speak incoherently, and Ches—

"I finally know now that the thieves with high skill levels are so terrifying. I feel as if I have a chill in my back, and I may have a shadow in my heart......

"Please, Yuhang's latent skill is already level three. Not at all what we newbies can imagine...... At least a mid-level big thief. What I'm more concerned about is how Yuhang managed to make the rookie hunter completely free of external injuries. And the magic that freezes the eyes of the rookie hunter. How could the chill of freezing magic be so fast? And &&......."

Lynn seemed to be in a state of confusion and began to chatter.

"Elementary magic, primary magic, Teacher Lynn! I'm an adventurer, and the MP points I spend are too high for magic, how can I use them? Anyway, I'm also a high-level adventurer. Although it is strange that such a high-level adventurer who does not change jobs......

"Better have more strange adventurers like you! It's still alive, but we're still alive when we meet the rookie hunter~!"

"That's right! That's an exaggeration! Or rather, you're really exaggerated, in all sorts of ways-! Yuhang, how high is your intelligence! Could it be the legendary superdeacon? There seems to be such a rumor. Na~, Yuhang, can you lend me your adventurer card? Just let me see the stat values."

Chiss jumped happily. And Lynn also ended her twitter at this time, a little curious, a little embarrassed to say to me.

"Yes."

I nodded, followed Lynn's instructions, and handed her the card.

"Strange ...... Weird? At this level, the intelligence is very ordinary. Other values are also ...... Wait, so high! This man's luck is super high!"

Hearing Lynn say this, the other two people also leaned over curiously to look at my card.

"Oh, that's it! Did you defeat the rookie hunter without moving at all? It's unreasonable. Could it be a Kjin Maniac!! But if you can get a complete rookie hunter, you should also earn ......."

Because my attributes are super low, I've been lurking and using skills. It mainly relies on the life of the legendary undead lich to capture skills. But it's better to be misunderstood for drinking medicine......

"Hey, hey, the reason why this mission went so smoothly is due to Brother Yuhang's luck? Come and bow down with me! Maybe you can get some protection!"

No, I don't think it has anything to do with luck. Anyway, I'm also a rookie hunter who defeats with 'strength'. And is it really lucky for a rookie squad to meet a rookie hunter?

But, as soon as Taylor said this, the three of them actually folded their hands and bowed to me.

"You, don't be like this, you really worship you~!" ……

That's it......

How can a complete rookie hunter say that he is also the size of an African giant elephant, I don't dare to ...... No! I mean, I don't know how to collect skills, and while it's useful, I really don't dare to learn it. Anyway, it's because I can't fit a rookie hunter in my inventory. So I can only contact the guild's beast cart to come over......

By the way, our Adventure Cards actually have a simple communication function, not to chat with each other, but to connect with guilds. So before Taylor asked Lynn to take me back to the guild for help or something, it was completely in the hope that Lynn of the intermediate mage profession and the weakest me would escape. You must know that although there is resurrection magic in this world, there is no corpse, and it is impossible for the priests to resurrect people in the feces of rookie hunters...... It seems that Ah Zhen has this ability, but ...... It's unappetizing to think about it, or don't think about it. Because we were having a picnic at this time...... Or the legend through the terrier, barbecue. But the chef is not me...... At this time, I was offered like an uncle. As long as the rice comes and stretches out your hand......

"Yuhang Yuhang, don't always eat meat, eat vegetables too! Come ......."

"Well, I'm really ...... vegetables."

I was able to eat meat recently, but I was a little unappetizing because the fresh vegetables of this world could run.

"Lynn Lynn! The fire is going out~ the fire is going out~"

Because of Lynn's diligence here, the oven over there turned out to be tragic. But-

"Tinder"

I popped a flame out of my hand and added fire to the oven.

Because after I had eaten enough, I used to pour black tea powder into the mug, add water with magic, and then use fire magic to heat the water in the mug.

「…… I always feel that Yuhang's application of magic is much better than mine. Almost no one uses elementary magic, and I'm still curious, and I have a lot of skill points, so I ordered it, and I was scolded by the teacher...... But it seems very convenient to see Yuhang use it like this."

"Huh? Isn't that how primary magic works?"

As my magic teacher, Lynn was speechless for my rhetorical question...... Normal should be shaking head, but ......

Looking at us like this, Chis, with a complicated expression, was suddenly stuck by the barbecue and handed out his own cup.

「…… I'm sorry, but please give me some water."

So I sang "CreateWater" to Locke's cup. Compared to Lynn, who habitually picked up a staff and cast spells, I was quicker empty-handed. But it doesn't seem like Chiss is grateful. It's the second time, and so was the previous oven...... At this rhythm,

Turns out that Chiss likes Lynn...... sighed in my heart, isn't the normal plot me Lynn to sleep away, and then turn against Chis?? Whatever...... I don't care what is normal or what is not. Instead of triggering the plot of jealousy, it's better to-

"Ah, yes, yes. Master Lynn, I can't figure out what kind of magic is this magic of 'CreateEarth'?"

I showed Lynn the powdery dry soil that appeared in my palm.

There are various attributes of magic in primary magic, among which light and dark space belong to the upper attribute, even if it is primary magic, it also consumes MP considerably. I don't want to be drained, so among the four basic attributes, only this earth-attribute magic is the magic of the earth attribute, and I don't know how to use it in actual combat. Although it can also be used with wind magic like Ice Breath, it will be much worse than the damage that Ice can do.

"Well...... The soil created by this magic can be used in the fields to grow excellent crops...... That's all."

After listening to Lynn's explanation, I was completely speechless. Just know that this soil is fertile...... And then the egg! Could it be that the old man is like that, and he will use it to raise flowers and trees in the future?

"What, Mr. Yuhang is going to reclaim the fields in the future?! It would be a waste to change jobs to become a farmer! You can create soil or sprinkle water with CreateWater! It's like your vocation~~."

Mr. Chiss, the fire of your jealousy will only push the person you like into the arms of the other.

I smiled and aimed the palm of my right hand, which was holding the dry soil, at Chis, who was talking about it at this time, and blew lightly.

"Poof! Ahh I—my eyes!"

With his eyes in the dust, Chiss rolled around on the ground.

「…… I see, that's how it works. It's the same as the previous skill against rookie hunters......

Because of Chis's provocation, Taylor, who was not easy to say anything, could only sigh like this. By the way, if it were Ah Zhen, I wouldn't hesitate to use "CreateEarth" with "WindBreath", but it wasn't as simple as blowing with my mouth!

"That's not right! That's not the case, ordinary people don't use it like this!!"

At this point, Lynn was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"I'm sorry Chis, because my original team always had some trouble-making thorns, so I habitually made a move. Are you alright?"

Habit is terrible, I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to trigger the flag of jealousy like this. I do feel sorry for Chis......

"Woo woo~, how can it be okay, tsk...... It hurts...... I'm the one who was wounded by a goblin's arrow. Now the wound has cracked~."

Chiss cried and pressed his arm, and leaned over to Lynn to pretend to be pitiful. I think this reaction is normal......

Chis, who had been hit by an arrow in the battle just now, looked like he had pulled out the arrow from his arm and wrapped it in a bandage. The current situation of ordinary adventurers......

"Hey, are you alright? My MP can only be sterilized with regeneration magic."

And listening to my casual words, for some reason, Lynn and Chiss swallowed nervously.

"Yuhang, you, you can even learn to restore magic......?"

"Yes, as you know, there was a milky sage in my previous team......

Anyway, the average team has powerful healing units, and no one else will learn healing magic, but someone's milk is too much. So......

Of course, this kind of thing is not easy to say.

"Don't talk about this, Brother Yuhang, you don't have to worry about Chis, it's cheaper to go back to the town to find a doctor for treatment. MP potions are not cost-effective, although I made a fortune this time, but I still saved money...... Aren't you, brother, still in debt?"

Taylor probably thought I was going to use MP to restore the potion. But-

"It's okay, I mean, my mental attributes are relatively average, and it's a bit wasteful to use recovery magic, but I still have some cheap healing potions here, and I know the skill of a pharmacist, 'Double the potion potion'. I don't have to wait to get back to town, I'll use the recovery magic to disinfect first. Then use a potion, a cheap healing agent, which is not much more expensive than going to a doctor. In the wilderness, it is better to ensure the necessary combat strength."

I said as I treated Chis, who was in a daze. You know, I'm afraid of pain, but I don't want to lose sleep because of a small injury. So the preparation is relatively thorough. But it seems to be too full. In other words, am I not surprised, or is your surprise too low?

"Restore magic and potions twice as powerful...... Yuhang, do you want to form an army alone at this time?"

"The title of becoming an army by one person is good, and in the future, I will call Yuhang and you will become an army alone. I wasn't right just now, hopefully—"

Maybe the two wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by Taylor in the middle of speaking-

"Hey, don't say any more. Yuhang has a place where he should go back, and it's a squad full of high-level professional members...... Let's not delay people's ...... Really, I'm very incompetent as a captain by comparison."

Taylor said this, smiling wryly at me.

To be honest, I get lost at times. Is it worth it to be a babysitter for that troubled child's squad?

It was in this atmosphere that the guild's beast cart arrived.

By the time we arrived in front of the Adventurers' Guild, it was nearly dusk.

In addition to receiving rewards for defeating goblins, we also received rewards for defeating rookie hunters.

But Taylor and the others said that since the rookie hunter was annihilated by me alone, they were embarrassed to ask for this reward. Plus I'm still in debt...... But even if it's debt, there are many things you can't eat alone. So in the end, it was agreed that we would divide the reward for defeating the rookie hunters equally, that the money for hiring the beast cart would be paid by Taylor and them, and that the money from the sale of the rookie hunters' furs and other materials would be repaid by me. Originally, Taylor's team was paid equally, and I can't set a precedent. I don't know if I should stay on this team or not......

The atmosphere was a little depressing, because of my hesitation, so the three of Taylor were not very happy when it was supposed to be a celebratory banquet. It's like a feast......

"Choking...... Whining...... Wow, wow...... Yes...... Yuhang seniors ~ ......"

Before I even saw my face, a man who couldn't cry could pounce on me and snot. Saliva rubbed desperately on me...... I actually want to struggle, but the attribute value of my strength is really not high, and I really can't break free from this kind of power that seems to be the last straw......

Anyway, the situation is miserable enough.

Pete had a regretless expression on his face. Skip.

Xiaolan carried Locke on her back, and the two of them looked relatively good.

He smiled at me with a tired face.

Although Ah Zhen is more miserable, he has a very happy expression. There was a large tooth mark on his head, and it was stained with saliva or something.

In the same way, the person lying on my stomach at this time did not seem to have any injuries on his body. But it's the same as Ah Zhen.,I don't know if it's saliva or whatever.,Anyway, it feels wet!

"Ugh...... Here's how. No, I can roughly guess that. I probably knew what was going on, so I didn't want to hear it. Can you please let Mr. Long Sheng go? I'm not going to do anything."

"Listen to it! Listen to it! Please, listen to it! Well, after leaving town, this Smurf said that he would let me see the mystical magic, so I complimented him on his prowess, and he said that he would show you my power, and suddenly he blasted out a shot of magic that he had used all his magic power in the empty grassland......

Long Sheng, who hugged me and cried, hurt me so much that I couldn't even pluck my ears and pretend not to hear him.

"Thanks, that's it? I don't want to know what happened next, you let me go, or I'll shout rude!!"

"I see! I know!! I'll just let it go, but hear me out! As a result, rookie hunters! I don't know if it was because I heard the explosion, and the rookie hunter ran over, but the most important magician fell to the ground, and when I said that I was going to run away, Mr. Paladin, who was obviously not wearing armor, rushed over, and then ......."

"Hey, it looks like the rookie hunter went looking for them before. Let's start with this glass of wine to celebrate the formation of our new squad! When you see me like this, I'm sorry I'll wash first...... Why are you hugging it again! Help me~! Moment. Pull away the perverts that your country is abundant~!!"

After Longsheng let go, I picked up my glass and said this to Taylor, Chis, and Lynn, and all three of them cheered loudly. But in the process of evacuating again, I was unfortunately knocked down, and I knew that I would just start the lurk!

"Wait! I apologize! I just apologize! It's all my fault! I apologize for what happened this morning, please forgive me! If you want me to kneel and kowtow in front of the public without clothes, you can do anything, let me go back to my original team!!"

Although I sympathized with Longsheng from the bottom of my heart for the unspoken experience of the next day, it was able to make him willing to admit his mistake to me with the highest apology in Japan, but this strengthened his confidence:

「…… From now on, I hope you will work hard in your new squad."

I made up my mind, even if there is a rumor here today that I was by Longsheng and another bird girl, I won't go back to be a nanny!
