As the moonlight fell, Lin Wen finally arrived at the place where the guard Thomas was.

"Why are you alone?" Looking at Thomas, who was alone and roasting meat, Lin Wen asked in surprise.

"No, I still have two companions." Thomas took the reins of the war horse from Lin Wen's hand and tied the war horse to the side of the bridge, "Are you the commander of Duhan who asked for help?" ”

Lin Wen nodded in affirmation. Although Lin Wen still looks like a child, his own strength is here, and a hunter who is about to become a Black Iron Rank can still do something here.

"Excuse me, old man, at last someone has arrived, it's a mess, the fishmen, the beasts, the criminals, and my two uneasy companions are gone." Seeing that a helper finally came, Thomas began to babble.

"Stop!" Thomas's words did not match the preamble, and there were many words full of personal emotions, so Lin Wen had to stop Thomas's words, "I ask, you answer, don't say what is irrelevant." ”

Thomas closed his mouth and nodded.

"I heard about the fish-people here before I came, what about the fish-people now?" Lin Wen asked.

"Fish-people, those little dwarfs have settled here. There is a fish-man village in Falling Star Lake to the east of the shallow river, and a fish-man village in the muddy swamp to the south, we don't know why they are here, but they are aggressive and don't seem to be very stupid. Thomas thought for a moment, then pulled out a quest card, "Medin City has confirmed the threat of the Fishmen, and has begun to offer a bounty for the Fishmen who appear near the shallow river, kill them, bring back their broken Fishman scales, and the Edin City Guards will reward you." ”

"By the way, two days ago I sent guards Rolf and Malachai along the river bank to reconnoiter the situation in this area, but they have not yet returned, and I have to find out what happened to these two men before I can complete the report. But I can't move around here, so please help me find the fishmen while I'm looking for trouble...... Or their corpses. Thomas said this in a very heavy tone, the two soldiers did not come back for two days, and in this dangerous forest, eight times out of ten? Nine is what happened to you.

"I see." Lin Wen nodded, "I'll set off in a moment." ”

Before leaving, Lin Wen also saw a notice board with a task card nailed to it.

Wanted: James? Clark: According to the verdict of the Edin City vigilantes, a bounty is being offered for James? Clark, Clark was convicted of robbery, theft, arson, murder and was sentenced to death. Will James? Clark corrected the law, and then reported to Sheriff McGregor at the lumberyard to the west. Note: The last time anyone saw James? Clark is near an abandoned warehouse to the east of the lumberyard.

Anyway, there were enough supplies on his body, and Lin Wen planned to stay here for a few more days before leaving, so he took the wanted mission together.

First of all, the task of clearing fish people and finding people, Lin Wen followed the river all the way to the south, the shallow water river is very clear, there are many wild animals on both sides of the river, in addition to Lin Wen also found the footprints of wolves and bears.

Carefully avoiding those carnivores, Lin Wen continued along the river, and after walking for half a day, he came to the shore of a small lake, which was the source of the shallow river, Falling Star Lake. The Falling Star Lake presents a neat circle, as if it was pressed out by something, and legend has it that once a meteor fell here, and it became the Falling Star Lake.

"An eerie stench." Lin Wen sniffed his nose and found that there was a disgusting rancid smell in the air, as if some piece of meat had rotted. Lin Wen followed the smell and finally found the source of the smell under a big tree - a rotting corpse.

The corpse was mutilated, but Lin Wen found a nameplate next to the corpse engraved with a few words: "Infantry Maracay?" Stone. ”

This is Malacay, one of the two companions of the guard Thomas, who did not expect to die here. Lin Wen endured the stench and checked the surroundings, and found that there were webbed footprints stretching westward along the Falling Star Lake, and in the far jungle to the west, a fish-man village loomed.

Maracay died here, but what about Rolf? Lin Wen took out a shovel from his backpack and dug a pit in the ground, and then buried all the remaining bodies of Maracay. After putting away the nameplate, Lin Wen walked in the direction of the fish-man village, where he might be able to find the whereabouts of another soldier.

The Fish-Man is a strange amphibious creature that looks like a mix of a fish and a frog. This creature is timid, cruel, gregarious, calls out to its companions when encountering strong enemies, eats meat as a staple food, and reproduces super quickly. Everywhere they go, the fish-people will cause great damage to the local ecological environment.

What appeared in front of Lin Wen's eyes was a small fish-man village, although the fish-people looked weird, but these little things had an IQ that did not match their size. In a fish-man population, classes are divided according to strength, the weakest is the fish-man predator, which is the lowest order of the fish-people, specializing in predation, vigilance, no weapons, and attacks with claws and fangs. Then there are the Fishman Warriors, who will hold weapons made of wood or bone, and even throw javelins from a distance. Further up is the Fishman Wise, the Fishman Wise is born an ice mage, and meeting the Fishman Wise is equivalent to bumping into 4 Fishman Warriors together, which is very dangerous for solo adventurers. Further up is the Fishman Lord, the Fishman Lord usually only appears in large or super-large Fishman tribes, there are melee and ranged, all of them are very powerful and difficult characters, even if there is an adventure team that can deal with the Fishman Lord, it will be drowned by the endless low-level Fishman Sea.

The fish-man village in front of Lin Wen is obviously small, many shacks have not been built, and there will be no more than 100 fish-people in the village at most, not to mention the fish-man lord, it is unlikely that there will be fish-man sages.

But compared to Lin Wen, who is alone, there are too many fish-people here, and the fish-people are very smart, usually a fish-man will be attacked and the whole village will go out, and if the attacker is turned into food, he will not give up, almost every adventurer has the experience of being chased by a large group of fishmen in the early stage of the adventure and escaping.

Find a safer way to slaughter these little things one by one. Lin Wen looked at the surrounding environment and found that the trees here were thick and tall, 20 meters high, and the thickness of the five people hugging each other, and then Lin Wen looked at the rifle in his hand again, and suddenly had an answer.

Syllable! A fresh light cement loach suddenly fell next to the root of the tree, and the loach out of the water struggled desperately, its tail slapping on the ground and making a crackling sound.

Wow? A passing fish-man predator was attracted by the loaches on the ground, and immediately ran over to grab the loaches with his eyes shining. But the problem is that as soon as the fish-man predator reaches out, the loaches on the ground take a step behind the tree, and the fish-man predator is lured by the loaches to the back of the tree, out of the sight of the other fishmen.

Wow! The fish-man predator only has a fresh loach in his eyes at the moment, and finds the opportunity to pounce, and the sharp claws pierce the slippery skin of the loach and hold it firmly in the palm of his hand, but at this time, the fish-man predator found that there is a fishing hook on the loach's mouth, and the fish-man hook is still connected with a thin fishing line, so the fish-man predator subconsciously raised his head, and saw a human holding a fishing line in one hand and a dagger in the other hand looking at it with a smile. The last thing the fish-man predator heard was the sound of a dagger tearing through his own flesh.
