Chapter 18: The Insect Catcher Trio
With Gu Cheng's current physical fitness, he naturally can't be unscrupulous in the wild, but with a little care, there is still a chance.
The changes in the body brought about by the clown's potion allow him to walk freely on the tightrope.
This point can directly allow Gu Cheng to climb freely on the steep cliff without any influence.
The price of the wind shadow insect is moderate, and the live can be used as a formula for all kinds of potions, 50 stygian coins a piece, and it can be sold by the pound even if it is dead, 100 stygian coins a catty.
Wind Shadow Worm, small in size and black in color.
It likes humidity and often carries out daily activities such as spawning and resting on steep rock walls near swamps.
Because of the money in his hand, he had already paid the tuition at the skeleton teacher a few days ago. When he went out this time, Gu Cheng didn't have too much choice in what he bought.
In addition to a small dagger, all that was left of the attack was a machete that had just been scooped up from the bazaar.
It cost Gu Cheng 120 coins, which can be regarded as a lonely throw.
In fact, Gu Cheng's money in his hands now is really in single digits. The daily cultivation expenses, Gu Cheng didn't save anything when he came back.
High risk, high reward.
In the slightly damp field, Gu Cheng clung tightly to the ground. The surrounding body was covered with various hidden scent potions, pungent, but the body did not dare to move at all.
Just now, a soul-absorbing monster Black Daman walked in front of him.
Black and brute, his mouth is like a chrysanthemum, his limbs are like knots of branches, and his body is even more dissatisfied with the hard pus. The skin is rough and the meat is thick, the character is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and it is delicious and lazy.
This is the result of Gu Cheng's search for information in the past 20 days, and various other details in detail are unknown.
After all, Gu Cheng did not receive a detailed education. For the wild, I only know that there are some dead people who are biased towards the evil camp!
Different from Gu Cheng's way of crawling out of the grave, they are all unique lives formed by the fact that all kinds of grievances cannot be dispersed during life.
Each one is full of tyranny and madness, and it is almost impossible to communicate in normal language.
The inhabitants of the village and the wild see each other as prey, and hunting and arrest are common.
"It's dangerous. If it is a black man who returns to the yin, it will be a pity ,,, himself. ”
Gu Cheng didn't care about the debris of dirt on his body, he aimed in one direction, bent his back and kept moving forward as close to the ground as possible.
Look around from time to time, stop and wait for a while!
The clown's potion seemed to have slightly strengthened Gu Cheng's perception ability, and his facial features were clear enough to avoid danger in advance in the wild.
On the way, when you encounter a swamp, you will make a decisive detour. Gu Cheng's flexibility didn't allow him to enter the swamp kind of dead land! Even if there is a delay on the road, I don't want to take this risk.
How many monsters are hidden in the swamp, who can say? The bones piled up in the swamp every year have long been counted, and Gu Cheng doesn't want to step into their footsteps.
After traveling for half a day, Gu Cheng finally came to the destination this time, the herringbone slope.
Named for the sheer nature of the mountain, it is surrounded by swamps of rolling green miasma on one side and humid plains on the other.
This place is also very famous in the carrion village, and there are many teams that come here every day to hunt the Wind Shadow Worms.
On the cliff, at this time of time, there are already several teams of people and horses hunting here for the Wind Shadow Worm. Gu Cheng didn't alarm them, lying on the wild grass on the top of the mountain and quietly watching their hunting movements.
Gu Cheng's hunting plan was not today, not at night, to be exact.
During the day, most of the zombies in Rotten Flesh Village crawl back to their graves to sleep or rest. At that time, it was also the time when Gu Cheng and the dead people were less active outside!
At least in the past month, Gu Cheng has never gone out during the day, and he instinctively hates this move.
The reason why Gu Cheng came out now was just to learn the techniques of these old hunters, so that he could act well after dawn.
As the terrain decreases, the terrain becomes more and more complex.
The flat rock walls have undergone some changes due to years of being soaked in swamps. Some places are slippery and overgrown with all kinds of poisonous weeds, and they are a paradise for all kinds of aquatic animals.
In some places, the rock is soft and has been corroded into pits of various sizes. As soon as the foot is stuck in it, there will be water monsters swarming up.
At the bottom of the steep slope, weeds are paved with a blanket of potential threats.
Avoiding slipping and falling is a necessary awareness of mixed life in this area!
In Gu Cheng's gaze, each 'insect catcher' was wearing a pair of special boots.
The bottom and outside of the boots are covered with steel needles to prevent slipping and the surprise attacks of various monsters under your feet.
"Baidrought, our harvest today is quite good! Do you want to go to the market tomorrow? ”
A guy with compound eyes casually stabbed the monster that suddenly jumped out of the swamp and wanted to sneak attack with the spear in his hand. With a single blow of both hands, the monster was thrown to a place on the herringbone slope away from the water source.
The two of his teammates were also clean and neat, and the two exaggerated axes in the hands of a crocodile man danced vigorously, and the tentacles of vines stretched out to him by various monsters were cut off one by one, and the place where he passed was like no one.
The other is much weaker. He has a pair of white and vertical long ears, wears tight leather armor, has a dagger pinned to his waist, and carries a net cover on his shoulders!
A rabbit man.
Her red eyes were full of alertness, and the small net was in her hands, waving constantly. At the moment of arresting the Wind Shadow species, he was still full of vigilance about his surroundings.
Even if you have two of your companions by your side to block most of the monsters, this is still walking in the wild, you must be careful!
"Forget it! We finally managed to make up enough tuition, and in the past few days, the Goblin Black Magic School has started its annual recruitment! Don't make another incident. "The crocodile called Baihan swept away all kinds of strange, unsightly weeds around it. There was a short break.
Glancing at the rabbit that was chasing each other with the Wind Shadow Worm, Bai Han continued.
"The whip that the rabbit had taken a fancy to last time had to lean back. After all, the school run by that group of goblins has a fixed start time, and if you miss it this time, you will have to wait until this time next year, which is a loss!! ”
The man's eyes kept scanning the wind and grass around him, but this time he didn't, and said another nonsense.
Joining the Goblin Black Magic School is a goal that the three of them have discussed. Last year, he gave up because of the shortage of funds, and this time the compound eye man is even more reluctant to delay the realization of this goal again because of his own expenses.
In a hunting squad like theirs, a group of three is the best hunting configuration.
In the stage of returning to yin and accepting souls, one person's power is in the wild, so be careful at all times. One more person to take care of is one more hope of survival. In addition, the harvest is large, and the expenses will naturally increase.
The yin qi food that everyone has to eat every day for cultivation is a necessary expense. Over the course of a year, although the team was not poor, it was not very rich.
Goblin Black Magic School is a business school. Everything is for the sake of creating profits, and naturally there are very few restrictions on the person, which is also something that many people love.
Because it is a business school, the admission criteria for new students are naturally different.
Newborns who want to join the Goblin School of Dark Arts within the year only need 2000 Stygian Coins! If you don't make up 2,000 within the year, you'll need to wait for the Goblin Dark Arts School to recruit 2,000 new students per year.
More is less moves, less is more moves. The price of tuition fees fluctuates from year to year.
"Compound eyes? You wouldn't want to go to a bar again? Last time, I forgot about the jokes I made because I was drunk. ”
The rabbit orc, known as the rabbit, grabbed a struggling Wind Shadow Insect in his hand at the moment, and carefully sent it into the sack that his companions had already prepared.
Only then did he exhale a long breath and criticize his companions.
"I think Bai Han is right about this. The most important thing now is to wait for the school of the dark arts to open, and you should put everything else aside and don't wander around and cause unnecessary trouble. ”
With his hands on his hips, the rabbit met the dodgy compound eyes.
This guy is always so unreliable.
Seeing that the two living treasures of the team are about to start again, the daily fight. Bai Han had no choice but to come out and start a round, although the compound eye was the bullied existence every time!
"That's it! I'll keep an eye on him this time! Rest assured, rabbits! ”
"yes, you just trust me once, I'm sure I'm not going to mess around this time. The last time I drank was purely accidental. I'll stay in my room when I go back this time, and it's okay not to come out, right? ”
Seeing the captain, the belly-eyed man relieved himself of the siege, and hurriedly patted his chest to prove his reliability.
Rabbits are already familiar with this situation. If the compound eye man's words can be believed, the corpse can lay eggs.
With a pout, his head twisted, and a new round of arrest began.
Seeing this, the two also quickly followed up to clear the dangers around them.
Gu Cheng watched the team's movements in the grass on the hillside far away,,, the sour breeze blowing, and the weeds shaking made Gu Cheng more secretive.
The number of these three members of the hunting team is not the largest, and the technology is relatively mediocre. But fortunately, they cooperated with each other tacitly, which added points to the safety of this team.
Gu Cheng didn't hear their conversation, but he could also see that the relationship between them seemed to be very good.
Although there were quarrels, they were all ridicule and boring adjustments at work, and they didn't really start the liver fire and complain.
At least from the smiles on their slightly blurred faces, it can be discerned that they are full of yearning for the future life at the moment.
Tut-tut, Gu Cheng couldn't help but show his smile.
The same is true for him, who still retains a strong yearning for the slightly bleak future.
This is a kind of self-confidence, calmness, believing that you are the jewel under the big waves!
