Chapter Seventy-Six: Parr's Request
Collect more than a thousand more.,Sorry there's only such a chapter! I can't write a word during the business trip, and I will make up for it when I get home.
Thank you for the reward of the self-proclaimed heavenly children's shoes.
---------------- ask for recommendations, clicks, and collections! ------------- Zhao Tiezhu crouched beside him with his bladed axe and cried, because in the end it was the only one who could cut off the head of the man-eater.
Or rather, it's not a cut, it's a smash.
The entire neck was smashed into a bloody blur, and of course without opening the bloody mode, only some white, wood-like fractures were seen.
Chen Kai and the others spent a whole day to get the 20 heads needed for the mission, and then escaped from the mountain col as if flying.
Although the experience of the ogres is very good, especially with the double experience bonus, each of them has nearly a thousand experience points.
However, killing a man-eater is not cost-effective, and it takes several bundles of crossbow arrows alone.
In addition to the experience, the biggest gain is that Xu Fei's crossbow machine has improved its shooting accuracy, at least not inserting the crossbow arrow that shoots monsters into other people's bodies at a distance of three meters.
Scolding back to the walled camp, Fei Yun suddenly noticed a very familiar stench in the air.
Not only did he all smell the thick stench in the air, but there were also some signs of corrosion from the acidic saliva of man-eaters on the camp grass.
"Shhhh Be quiet, there may be a man-eater inside~! Chen Kai squatted down cautiously.
There were faint sounds coming from inside the camp, as if a man was desperately eating.
Thinking of the mess of animal carcasses gnawed in the col, everyone felt the acid water in their stomachs want to bubble up.
It was only after slowly approaching the camp that everyone could see the situation in the camp clearly.
A black-and-purple man-eater was crouching in front of the extinguished fire, rummaging for something, and a lot of gnawed sweet potato skins were thrown on the ground.
"My baked sweet potato!" Wang Xuewen shouted angrily, then quickly drew his staff and began to release spell attacks.
After seeing that there was only one man-eater, Chen Kai and the others also took out their weapons and rushed towards the man-eater, preparing to beat the man-eating monster Haibian who entered their camp.
But just as they were running out, the ogre, who heard the noise, suddenly turned around.
It didn't roar and rush towards Chen Kai and them, but directly lay on the ground and shouted at Chen Kai and them, "Don't attack!" Old Parr is a good guy! Please don't hurt me! Chen Kai and the others were stunned by this situation, because the man-eating monster was lying on the ground tightly and exposing his back, and his mouth kept shouting: "Please don't hurt me!" Please! This situation made Chen Kai and the others not interested in attacking.
"That's it! We don't hurt you, but please look up and tell us why we're here? Chen Kai put away his weapon and took a few steps back, saying to the ogre.
"Okay! Good! But can you give me something to eat first, even a few loaves of bread? Old Parr hadn't eaten in days. ”
The man-eater, who claimed to be Old Parr, raised his head and said.
Chen Kai looked at the other party's cloudy but black and white eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party was the kind of ogre who lost his mind and only knew how to eat meat, his eyes should be blood-red, "Give him a few pieces of bread!" Chen Kai turned his head to Xu Fei and said.
The cannibal grabbed a few pieces of black bread from Xu Fei's hand, and no matter how hard the bread was, he stuffed it directly into his mouth and ate it fiercely.
Halfway through eating, he picked up the rainwater in a broken clay jar next to him and prepared to drink it into his mouth, and finally Chen Yi couldn't stand it anymore and took out the water in his backpack and handed it to him.
This action made the cannibal's eyes slowly appear grateful.
"Thank you! Thank you, you are the only ones who don't attack Old Parr immediately after encountering them, and those people will beat me with wood and stones even if I bow my head and beg for mercy when they see Old Parr! If I hadn't run so fast, they would have killed me. ”
Old Parr said, tears slowly welling up in his eyes.
"That's it! Old Parr, huh? How did you get it like this? And what did you do before? Chen Kai took out a wooden stake and sat in front of the man-eater and asked.
"I don't know why it's like this! It turned out that Old Parr was a villager in the village under the mountain, but when he went up the mountain to chop firewood half a month ago, he was suddenly caught by several people wearing black cloaks.
They knocked old Parr unconscious, and by the time I woke up, it was already like this.
I managed to escape somewhere, but when I returned to the village, I found that the village was gone.
I wanted to go to the city to find the nobles, but as soon as I got to the main road, all the people who passed by drew their weapons and came to kill me. ”
As he spoke, Old Parr wiped the tears from his eyes with the remnants of the cloth on his hand, but the tears turned into corrosive acid when they came out.
"How many more things does Old Parr want to ask for? Can you help me find my grandchild? Old Parr lay on the ground and pleaded to Chen Kai, "He may have been captured by those black-cloaked guys, please be sure to find him before he has an accident!" Finally, please kill me, I don't want to become a man-eating monster! Old Parr's eyes slowly became glazed, and then a streak of blood appeared in his eyes.
"I don't want to eat people! I don't want to ......" Old Parr grabbed his claws and his body began to tremble constantly, Chen Kai quickly drew his weapon and jumped away from Parr's side.
Old Parr's body kept shaking, and the black-purple skin on the surface began to crack.
"Please! Kill me right now, I don't want to turn into a monster, please! Parr's voice was hoarse, and his eyes quickly began to rush blood, but a spear had pierced his heart after he finished speaking, making old Parr, who only had a few hundred points of blood, instantly enter a near-death state.
"Thanks... Thanks~~" These were the last words that the cannibal old Parr spat out, and then his body slowly fell to the ground.
However, even after his death, Old Parr's mutation did not stop, and his wish not to become a monster was still not fulfilled.
"Boss, is this task done?" Xu Fei looked at the ogre's corpse and said.
"Do! Why don't you do it, but this quest is really bloody! By the way, the fourth child will collect a little and see if there is anything about the location! The old man NND didn't tell me where I escaped from or how I could do the mission. ”
Chen Kai suddenly remembered that Old Parr hadn't said where he escaped from.
"There is another question, who will hand over this task to do?" Wang Xuewen nodded at the old Parr lying on the ground with his foot and said.
"Bad luck! Affection is another loss-making business. ”
Su Xinghe's temperament gradually became cheerful after his hands and feet had the possibility of recovery.
"There are maps, but they're too crude!" Fei Yun searched out a tattered strip of cloth from Old Parr's arms, on which some images were simply drawn.
The one who apparently fell to the ground was illiterate and could only draw with simple graphics.
However, the official map can easily identify the place where Parr escaped.
"! It turned out to be inside the col again, and it wasn't like going through nearly a hundred man-eaters! Wang Xuewen looked at the map and found that the location was actually in that mountain col.
"It's that stinky pigsty again!" A few girls stood aside and sighed, they really didn't want to run to that smelly place, especially now that it was getting dark, and God knew what mess would be inside.
"Boss! What are you thinking? Zhao Tiezhu looked at Chen Kai, touching his beardless chin and thinking about something, so he raised his head and asked.
"Oh! Didn't think anything? I was just wondering if I could climb down this mountain. ”
Chen Kai pointed to a mountain behind the col on the map and said, from the map it means that the place where Old Parr escaped is just south of that mountain.
Chen Kai wondered if he could climb up the mountain from the north and go down directly from the mountain, so that he could bypass the man-eating monsters in the valley of the mountain on the south side of the mountain.
"That's good, but I don't know if there's a man-eater in the north? But do you really plan to go hiking at night, what if you encounter other monsters? Xu Fei looked at the map and said worriedly.
"Are you going to count the stars here?" Chen Kai turned his head and asked.
"Oh well! Let's grab a bite to eat and head over there.
And according to this terrain, you can ride a horse, and the Andean war horse's mountain travel ability is still good. ”
Xu Fei thought for a while, that is, staying here in a daze, it is better to run to fight monsters and adventures, at least there is some gain.
Chen Kai and the others had eaten a little to replenish their bodies, and then they rode between horses and ran towards the mountain behind the man-eater col, and along the way they would rather walk a long way than try to stay away from the place where the man-eater was.
Probably due to the rampant man-eating monsters in the area where the col is located, there was not a single animal or monster that I didn't see along the way.
By the time we reached the north side of the mountain, it was already dark, and the stars were scattered from the tops of the trees with the moon.
But you have to look up to see it, and if you don't look up, you can only see the dim ground.
Occasionally, some night owls made terrifying cries on the branches, causing Chen Kai, who was walking on horseback with his head down, to stand up with hairs on his body.
"Is this it?" Chen Kai asked Fei Yun, who was holding the map.
"That's right! This is it, just climb this mountain, it is just a small hill bag on the NND map, and it is so high here.
There is no contour line, and there is no way to know how high it is! Ahh It's even colder at night! Fei Yun shrunk his neck and said with a white breath.
"Boss! Can you climb again tomorrow? Several girls huddled together to keep warm and asked Chen Kai.
"It's cold now! It won't be cold when you climb up the mountain, so why don't you take a sip to warm up! Chen Kai took out the wine bottle and said to a few girls.
However, Chen Kai's mention was naturally not approved by the girls, and only a few of the back of his head with ponytails or braids were left for him.
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, climbing the mountain will also tire people to death.
Chen Kai now felt that his mention was so stupid, because they had climbed for a full three hours to reach the top of the mountain.
But fortunately, there were basically no wild beasts, just crows and rabbits at most.
Chen Kai estimated that the beasts on the entire mountain were scared away or turned into food by the man-eaters.
"Boss! How do you go down here? Fei Yun looked at the thousand-meter-high cliff and asked Chen Kai, but he immediately shut up when he found that his boss was now full of black lines.
"What else can I do! Climb down! Chen Kai pointed to a small platform a hundred meters below the cliff and said, "Climb to that top as long as you have a foothold, you can dig a hole!" Then find a way to continue to climb down, and you can't run back again when you're here! Anyway, there was enough rope in the backpack for us to climb all the way up the hill to the bottom. ”
Chen Kai said this, and then estimated a little, and found a few thick trees directly above the platform, in order to ensure safety, Chen Kai did not use one tree, but three.
Anyway, in order to deal with emergencies, Chen Kai and their backpacks have been stuffed with several bundles of ropes, although this kind of rope woven from Su hemp is only the thickness of the index finger, it can bear a weight of nearly three hundred kilograms.
In addition, light weight has always been a necessary rope for adventurers, and at least two of Chen Kai's twelve people have prepared two bundles of ropes.
Enough for them to climb from the top of the mountain to the bottom and then climb up with a rope.
Chen Kai tied a slipknot around his waist with a rope, and then slowly climbed down the rope.
But although his mouth is stiff, he himself is afraid to die, after all, the game is so real that he feels very dizzy from a high place.
However, he had already climbed off the cliff and couldn't climb up again, so Chen Kai could only climb down.
After carefully stepping on the protruding platform, Chen Kai stepped on it a few times, and only after making sure that the platform was strong enough did he swing the rope vigorously to indicate that he had reached the platform.
After signaling to the people on the cliff, Chen Kai did not stay on the platform in a daze, he carefully touched the cliff wall, and at the very edge of the platform, he felt that the rock on the cliff was a little soft.
So Chen Kai took out the mine pickaxe and gently shook it on the rock wall, moving very carefully, especially to make sure that the place he was picking would not impress the balance of the platform.
He stuffed the stones and soil directly into his backpack, because Chen Kai was worried that those stones and soil would alert the enemies that might appear under the cliff after they fell.
When Zhao Tiezhu climbed to the platform in fear, Chen Kai had already cut out a hole half a meter deep, and the faster he picked it, the faster he did.
Because Chen Kai suddenly found an abnormal hollow sound behind the stone, this made Chen Kai, who had just planned to pick out a piece that could be used as a fixed stake, to be extremely excited and careful.
Chen Kai determined from the direction of the rock that those cavities were definitely not caused by the instability of the platform, but by the hollowness in the body of the cliff mountain.
Although that was just Chen Kai's own speculation, at least Chen Kai had the motivation to dig into it.
Especially when there are more and more people coming down from above, there are more and more helpers from Chen Kai.
Unfortunately, there was limited space in the small cave, and it was not until midnight that Chen Kai dug up the platform surface for the two of them to work.
But the sound of the hollow became clearer and clearer, but Chen Kai also had a worry in his heart, that is, if there were ogres living in the hollow of the mountain, would the sound of his own excavation not alarm them.
After digging hard for a while, a small black hole the size of a fist finally appeared in front of Chen Kai and them, and with the hope of victory, Chen Kai and their motivation to dig became more and more sufficient, and finally after an hour, the hole was expanded enough for one person to enter.
However, the hole has been excavated, but whether it can go down is another question.
Although there is no unusually bad scandal like a man-eater in the cave, the entrance of the cave that you can't see your fingers is still terrifying.
As for the pathfinding work, it goes without saying that it is Chen Kai again, because everyone turned their attention to Chen Kai as the leader.
Because the environment was too dark for the torch to use, the only person who could illuminate the environment was Chen Kai, who was equipped with a shoulder armor with a divine light spell attached.
As for why you don't let Su Wan, who is also wearing this standard shoulder armor, go down, according to other people's reasons, are you embarrassed to let a girl enter that dark place alone? After Chen Kai shook his head, he was naturally tied to a rope and hung from the hole.
Looking at Chen Kai, who was as milky as a light bulb, slowly descending, Xu Fei and the others finally saw the environment in the cave clearly.
A very beautiful and dreamlike cave, those stalactites emitted all kinds of strange and beautiful light under the illumination of the magic light on Chen Kai's shoulder.
Chen Kai quickly descended to the bottom of the cave, which was only a few dozen meters away from the entrance of the cave, and the surroundings were very quiet, although a little damp, but not stuffy.
However, what Chen Kai didn't understand was why there was no water in the caves, because most of the caves had underground rivers flowing through them.
After everyone reached the cave, Chen Kai and the others lit a bonfire on the spot, and then started to make supper with milk and bread a little.
Although it's close to the wee hours of the morning in the game, it's actually only nine o'clock in the evening in the real world.
Therefore, physiologically, Chen Kai and the others did not feel sleepy at all, and they were still very energetic.
After a short rest, Chen Kai and the others slowly walked towards the depths of the cave with torches, although Chen Kai and Su Wan both had divine light spells attached to their shoulders, but every time they used them, they had to consume their mana points.
So most of the time it's better to hold a torch, and the range of illumination is not low.
Because of the deep cave, Chen Kai and the others didn't know where they were going, but they were walking on a downhill road according to their feelings.
As the slope gets steeper and there are many fractured stalactites and rock faults along the way, it is very difficult to walk, but it is much faster than climbing a mountain.
Fei Yun, who was walking and leading, suddenly asked, a very strong and disgusting smell, this smell is different, and Chen Kai knew that it should be the smell of a man-eater.
So they knew they had found a place, but they were moving more and more carefully.
After turning a corner, Chen Kai and the others saw a glimmer of fiery red light under a huge crack in the corner, accompanied by terrible screams and desolate cries.
"Shhhh Be quiet! Chen Kai covered his nose and said to the others, and then followed Fei Yun and slowly crawled to the crack.
The crack is half a person high, and you can easily see the situation below from above.
Underneath the crack was a huge cavern hall lit with dozens of huge torches, and a dozen villagers and man-eaters were locked in cages.
In the center of the entire hall were a dozen little demons chained, but they didn't look very good now, far from the sturdy and ferocious ones that Chen Kai had seen in Motobo at the beginning.
"Hey Boss! How much merit do you think those demons can do if they are slaughtered? Fei Yun asked, covering his nose.
"I don't know! Leave the merits alone, find out if there are any children? Chen Kai's eyes widened, and he kept searching, and said softly to Fei Yun.
The others behind him also slowly covered their noses and crawled through the cracks, Xu Fei clutching two knotted ropes in his hands.
"Brother Shui! Do you want to climb down! Xu Fei, who was holding the rope after climbing to Chen Kai's side, asked.
"Let's take a look! Wait, keep your head down! There is a case! Chen Kai said softly suddenly, and then quickly lay his head behind the gap.
Everyone who saw Chen Kai's appearance also learned to lower their heads and gently shrink their necks.
