Chapter XXVI: The Black Forest

Yi Hui returned to the headquarters of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment without danger, and really pinched a cold sweat, thinking that if this thief's skill did not reach level 3 or 4, the dark alley of the thief area would be less. After all, he is still wearing the space ornament provided by Gilji to hold the bolt number, which will be a big loss if it is taken away, and there is currently only one bolt number in the whole world.

There are still a few days before Yi Hui leaves Grenoble, and in these few days, Yi Hui will have to use the few hundred gold coins left to buy some supplies. Because of the existence of space ornaments, the storage of materials has become much simpler, and Yi Hui is going to the wild to upgrade and fight monsters, rather than practicing Bei Ye's wild survival experience.

A person is inevitably a little lonely in the regiment headquarters, Yi Hui fiddled with the magic map that he had just spent a lot of money to rent, and followed the road along Grenoble to observe the surroundings little by little, and revisited the roads he had walked on the map. Follow the tree-lined paths of the Great Forest, past the undulating scales of the hills, around Eagle Claw Ridge and finally to the Silver Spring Valley. In the past few months, Yi Hui thinks that the distance he has traveled is long enough, but it is still pitiful compared to the entire world continent, and the distance between Grenoble and the Silver Spring Valley is also an inch of distance.

Yi Hui surveys the whole picture and observes the whole picture of the world. The continent where Yi Hui is located is called Vino Continent, and the country where he is located is called the Hanseatic Empire. The Hanseatic Empire, located south of the continent of Vino, was a relatively large country, and from the map, the country was divided into dozens of principalities, which were subordinated to different levels of domains. Grenoble was a large city in the Hanseatic Principality of Wellington, dotted with small villages.

Yi Hui looked at this lifelike map that outlined various landforms, and thought to himself that in fact, this gold coin was worth the money, the kind of map drawn on parchment that he usually saw when doing tasks, even if it was fine, this magic map intuitively presented the situation in various places in front of his eyes.

Looking at the leveling locations provided by the old sailor during the day, the Black Forest and the Green-Eye Swamp, the distribution of monsters nearby can still be handled by Yi Hui.

The magic map glows with a faint light, even if it is not lit at night, it can be seen very clearly, and when Yi Hui was fascinated, the map suddenly turned out to be light, which made Yi Hui very surprised.

"After spending so much money, did you make a fake?" Yi Hui felt that he had been deceived, and when he was angrily about to go to the Mercenary Guild for a review, he found that there was a slot in the scroll core of the Map of Heaven that could be opened, similar to the fuel tank on the Bolt that contained the magic ore. Yi Hui's envoy opened the slot and found a dull and dull magic energy ore inside, which was obviously depleted by the magic energy.

"What's the matter, don't explain in advance that this map needs to be loaded with magic energy ore, which makes me blind." Yi Hui angrily took out a magic energy ore of a similar size from the space ornament and put it into the slot, and the magic map was running again.

Fortunately, Yi Hui happens to have these magic energy ores, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do if the map was stopped in the wild.

In the next few days, Yi Hui went to and from the trade area to buy a large amount of dry food and some field necessities, and was fully prepared for the wild trip.

"The first destination is the Black Forest." Yi Hui took out the magic map and carefully examined some information about the Black Forest.

On the map, only half of the information in the Black Forest is used, which shows that the predecessors who used the magic map for the mission of "World Exploration" did not explore the wilderness too much, but the roads are clearly marked. And those who have been to these wild places have not taken on this kind of exploration mission, who would go deep into this kind of unknown wilderness simply for the sake of enriching the magic map? Going to this kind of place must have taken on some high-reward tasks.

The Black Forest is located south of Grenoble, and it takes a while to get here, and Yi Hui has been by Scott's side for a long time when he has escorted the Garcia family to the Silver Spring Valley, so it is not difficult for Yi Hui to travel in the wild.

For the first few days, the woods were dense where Yi Hui passed, but there was always sunlight shining through the gaps in the branches. The farther south he went, the denser the woods became, and the layers of branches shrouded Yi Hui's head like dark clouds, making Yi Hui feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

After traveling continuously for a while, Yi Hui walked in the forest as if he were hurrying in the dark.

Tree! Tree! Tree! There were trees on all sides, and there was no easy way to walk on the ground, and the huge roots under the feet were sticking out of the soil in a staggered way, and above the heads were all kinds of vines hanging from the branches. Yi Hui felt very difficult with every step.

You've entered the Black Forest, and here, there's no indication on the map. Yi Hui travels south in the Black Forest, and the point of light on the map that represents Yi Hui's coordinates also travels south.

I don't know how many times I marked the map with the "dense forest" icon, Yi Hui felt that he was about to vomit nauseously, no wonder the people who marked this map before couldn't draw the periphery when they explored the Black Forest, just walking in this dark and deep forest is a very challenging thing, right?

The vines and roots have brought a lot of obstacles to Yi Hui's path, which reminds Yi Hui of the obstacle exercises he usually does, so let's use this place as an obstacle course to practice! Yi Hui thought about it like this, and his mood suddenly brightened.

According to the usual method of overcoming various obstacles, Yi Hui carefully walked between the roots and vines, and within a few days, Yi Hui actually found a little way. Referring to the personal caste in the system, the bar chart of Yi Hui's agile column has also grown slowly.

Yi Hui practiced for a few days, and thought to himself: This place is not bad, it is very helpful for the agility practice of trainee thieves, it seems that the old sailor who provided clues would be wrong. He provided himself with a suitable place for thieves to cultivate instead of a place to farm monsters, after all, in the eyes of people in this world, cultivation is inseparable from practice, and Yi Hui does not want practice.

Just as Yi Hui was wondering if it was time to practice in a different place, a hard and barbed ball hit Yi Hui's head from above, and Yi Hui felt a sharp pain.

When he looked up, a black-skinned monkey with a white head was barking his teeth and shouting at him, and there were many similar monkeys squatting on the branches of nearby trees, each holding the thorny fruit in his hands.

Good guy, probably he inadvertently intruded into the territory of this group of monkeys, but Yi Hui is not the kind of surname who suffers losses and does not react, he picks up a stone and smashes it at the monkey who hit him on the tree, and the monkey dodges Yi Hui's stone with a dexterous swing on the tree.

Seeing that Yi Hui dared to fight back, the monkeys were not happy, and the other monkeys threw the tree fruit in their hands at Yi Hui one after another. Yi Hui dodged in embarrassment, but was still smashed half to death, and fled backwards for hundreds of meters to avoid the monkeys' attacks.

Hiding behind a big tree, Yi Hui took out a tree fruit smashed by a monkey from the hood behind his back. Good guy, this thing is a chestnut with thorns, but it is much larger than the chestnut Yi Hui has seen before, and it is also a nut similar to a chestnut when you pry it open the encirclement of the thorn bush.

"There are black monkeys with white heads, living in groups, territorial, and good at throwing tree fruits to attack humans, and the species is to be investigated. The trees here are prickly nuts that can be eaten when peeled. "Yi Hui didn't forget to mark everything he saw on the magic map while taking care of his wounds, these materials paid the price of blood! The situation stated in the contract that these landscapes and monsters will be automatically sent to the Mercenary Guild, and all rewards will be settled at the office of any Mercenary Guild after Yi Hui goes to the office of the Mercenary Guild again.

"Didn't you just say that there was no blame fighting, and there you have it, damn monkey, Lao Tzu will be the first to brush you!" Yi Hui hatefully pulled out a long thorn that was pierced in his arm, and a "sizzling" sound came from his painful mouth.

At night, in the Black Forest, there were no fingers in sight, only the sound of insects chirping in the grass. Yi Hui approached the territory of the white-headed black monkey by night, and when he saw that there was no movement, Yi Hui climbed a big tree. The thick branches on the canopy were enough for Yi Hui to walk calmly, and Yi Hui climbed a relatively wide branch. Yi Hui then fastened himself to the tree with a rope and opened his "invisible wings" and fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as Yi Hui woke up and found that there were no monkeys around, he took out a piece of dried meat from the space ornament and nailed it to a branch with a tent nail, thus completing the setting of the bait. As far as Yi Hui knows, most monkeys, as omnivores, will eat a little bit of meat, so this bait should work.

After setting up the bait, Yi Hui opened the "invisible wings" on the spot and entered a hidden state, waiting motionlessly for the monkey to take the bait. This routine had already been used to catch rabbits when he first crossed over, and practice proved to be quite effective.

"It's all in place, it's just the damn monkeys who take the bait." Yi Hui held Dolan's Sword tightly, staring at the monkeys jumping and reverberating in the canopy of the other trees, hoping that they would quickly notice the piece of meat he had put down, in that case, Yi Hui wouldn't mind that he had a little more experience, and he wouldn't mind that his Soul Guiding Lamp would absorb one more soul.

A detached monkey slowly approached the branch where Yi Hui was, it rummaged around the tree, grabbed a tree fruit, broke it and nibbled on the nut and absentmindedly threw it aside, and then went to another tree to pick a green wild fruit and took a bite, and the grinning monkey angrily smashed the fruit out. Suddenly, it seemed to notice the dried meat on Yi Hui's tree, and after looking around and finding no obvious threat, it cautiously swung towards the branch where Yi Hui was.
