Chapter 168: The Poison Marsh in the Cumber Wetlands
During the game, Wen Long would often eat this free dry food provided by the Hunters' Guild. But a game is a game after all, and dry food can only increase the data in the game, and the taste or anything is not reflected at all.
So now Wenlong is curious, and can't help but want to try what those dry foods really taste like.
"Mr. Cat, what are you going to do here?" Seeing Wen Long walking towards the big blue box, Catherine asked.
"Uncle Ben, I want to try what that dry food tastes like, meow!" As he said this, Wen Long took out a piece of stuff wrapped in oiled paper from the box.
"This is dry food? I remember that the game seems to be called carrying barbecue or something......" Wenlong opened the oil paper, and then took out the contents of it, and sure enough, it looked like a black piece of salted barbecue.
"Mr. Cat, Begonia has eaten it, so Begonia recommends that you don't try ......"
However, before Haitang's words were finished, Wen Long had already bitten down on the large piece of black barbecue.
"Phew! What the hell is this, why does it taste so bad! Meow! Wen Long took a bite, but he spit it out directly.
"Hahaha," Seeing Wen Long's uncomfortable appearance, He Fei also laughed, "This Ailu cat is really interesting, haven't you eaten barbecue before?" ”
"It definitely doesn't taste good, you know, you have to carry the barbecue in the box for months, and in places like the Cumber Wetlands, it's warm and humid. Ordinary food is almost spoiled after a day. Bringing a barbecue wants to make sure it doesn't go bad. It does not deteriorate, so it is necessary to add a lot of additives to prevent deterioration...... How can this kind of thing compare to the taste of fresh ingredients? Lily also said to Wenlong.
"Okay, Uncle Ben has learned, meow." Wenlong took out a glass of water and rinsed his mouth, and then said, "This thing tastes like sawdust, it doesn't taste like meat at all, and it has a strange spicy taste......
"Hmph. As a good hunter, there is no need to be a picky eater. As for the spicy taste, it is actually to prevent the insects in the wetland from becoming interested in this barbecue, so that the barbecue can be preserved for a longer time. Elan, who had been silent before, finally said.
In any case, although Wenlong appeared because of the barbecue, the atmosphere between the two teams became more active, and even Elan, who didn't talk much, joined the chatting crowd.
"Well, what are you two girls doing here?" The campfire was almost running out, and it was almost time to rest. Before that, Lily asked Catherine with some curiosity.
"We're here to hunt the Peach Fur Beastmaster." Catherine replied truthfully.
"Peach-haired Beastmaster. That guy isn't very easy to deal with. Especially for two-star hunters like you. Why don't you let me help you? He Fei on the side also interjected.
"Thanks, but we have Mr. Cat here. If you're not afraid of the Peach Fur Beast King, if you have any problems, Mr. Cat will solve it for us. As she said this, Catherine looked at Wen Long on the side. At this time, Wenlong was picking his teeth with satisfaction, enjoying the aftertaste of dinner.
"Haha, Hefei, you're not even as good as an Ailu cat." Seeing He Fei being rejected, Lily immediately seized the opportunity to laugh at He Fei.
"Haha......" He Fei laughed embarrassedly, "but as your senior, I still have to advise you, that Peach Fur Beast King is very stinky, if you are not careful, the situation will become very bad." ”
"And what are you here for? Meow? Hearing that the other party asked about the purpose of his side, Wenlong also thought about asking the other party why he came to the Kumbair Wetland.
"We, our target this time is the rock dragon, it's a much stronger guy than the peach fur beast king, but I, Lord Hefei, will definitely get the rock dragon done!" He Fei said.
"But the rock dragon is not easy to find, because when the rock dragon lurks underground, it looks like an ordinary stone, and you can't find it if you don't distinguish it carefully, we have been looking for it for two days, but we haven't seen it......" Speaking of this, Lily also looked a little frustrated.
"That's because the rock dragon was afraid to see me, Lord He Fei, so he hid." He Fei laughed.
"Don't be narcissistic, just don't drag your feet when the time comes." Elan, on the other hand, mocked He Fei unceremoniously.
……
In this way, the two teams talked until late before resting, and when the sun shone into the camp the next morning, the two teams set off separately after saying goodbye to each other.
Leaving the hunter camp and continuing towards the depths of the Cumbell Wetlands, the surrounding environment is getting worse and worse.
Narrow and damp paths, dense reeds, and purple pools that can be seen everywhere on the roadside always reveal a dangerous atmosphere.
"Ah, Mr. Cat, what are those monsters out there?" Halfway through, Catherine pointed to some crustacean monsters in the purple waterhole and asked Wenlong.
"Oh, those, it's a shield crab, meow." Wen Long was wary of the situation around him, so he just responded to Catherine's question casually.
"There's a shield crab! This is the shield crab that tastes much better than the Oni Hunting Spider? Catherine, who suddenly said this, ran over without hesitation, but fortunately, Wen Long's eyes were quick, and he directly kicked over and tripped Catherine to the ground.
Catherine, who was caught off guard by "poof...... fell to the ground like this, although there was no pain because of the protection of the equipment, but it still looked a little embarrassed.
"Woo...... Mr. Cat, why did you trip me all of a sudden? Catherine asked with a sad face.
"Not all shield crabs can be eaten, you see where those shield crabs live...... Meow? ”
"Isn't it in this purple pool?"
"Uncle Ben, I'm really convinced of you...... It's not called a purple pool, it's a poisonous swamp! The purple smoke above is a poisonous mist! If you fall into it, you will be poisoned! Do you dare to eat shield crabs that survive in such a place? Aren't you afraid to eat you to death? Meow? Wen Long scolded Catherine unceremoniously.
"Hmm...... I know wrong. Catherine stood up in embarrassment.
"Also, these shield crabs are nothing, you rushed over and injured them like this, and when their boss comes, it will be troublesome."
"Boss? Who is their boss? Catherine asked.
"Their boss is called the Daimyo Shield Crab, and it's a difficult guy anyway, this hellish place is full of poisonous fog and poisonous swamps, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. So we'd better kill the Peach Fur Beastmaster as soon as possible, and then evacuate quickly after completing the mission, so don't make any extraneous branches, meow. (To be continued......)
