Chapter 253: Black Wood Forest
After rummaging for a while, Leon really found a task that he was interested in, this task was different from other tasks, not to hunt some strange beasts or to find some natural treasures, but to hunt a few evil humans.
Originally, hunting humans was not a task that Li Ang liked, but these people were not from Huaguo, and the information showed that many hunters had died at their hands.
"Mr. Li, do you really want to take on this task?" The agent asked with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"As you can see, there have been a lot of failures in this mission, including some strong hunter teams." The implication is already obvious, that is, he feels that Li Ang can't handle it, and even goes to deliver food completely.
"That's it." Li Ang went because there were many people who died, the current world is dangerous, and as a hunter, there is always a danger to life, but this is a challenge from nature, life and death, Li Ang will not say anything, but it is not okay to have foreigners to hunt Chinese people!
Seeing that Li Ang's attitude was very resolute, the agent had to help him complete the task of pick-up, this task has no time limit, even the task is not the only one, it can be picked up by multiple people at the same time, obviously the base official also wants to get rid of those foreigners, but I don't know why the army was not dispatched.
There is very little information about the target on the mission, even a few of them are vague, it is written that there are six to ten people, it is simply a cheat, as for what abilities they have, there will be no more, even the area of their activities is a very large range, only know that they are all vodkas, and in general there is almost no information.
After going home and resting for the night, the next morning, Li Ang waited at the gate of the capital early, although the time was only six o'clock in the morning, but there were many people in and out, most of them were dressed as hunters.
After a while, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, accompanied by an excited dog barking, and the two figures, one yellow and one white, ran over from a distance with bursts of smoke and dust.
The hunters at the city gate all looked at the two majestic creatures that were approaching quickly with solemn expressions, and even the soldiers at the city gate clenched their weapons in their hands.
"Don't be nervous, your own people." Li Ang hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of everyone.
At this time, the two creatures had already come closer, weren't they Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai, it turned out that Li Ang had asked the Origin to bring them over overnight last night.
Seeing that Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai were wearing gorgeous armor, and Xiao Bai still had a saddle on his back for riding, he looked like a creature with a master, and coupled with Li Ang's words, everyone finally relaxed.
"Hey brother, your mount and pet are good, I'm afraid you have to have a level four."
"This armor is not bad, it looks very much like the style of the elven kingdom, it will cost a lot of money." Someone recognized at a glance the origin of the armor worn by Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai.
"It's okay, it's okay, it didn't cost anything." Leon really didn't spend any money, he didn't know that Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai still had such a set of armor, obviously prepared for them by Bilodis.
Riding Xiaobai and taking Xiaohuang with him, Li Ang felt that he had returned to the time when he was surfing around, although he was still surfing everywhere now, and the waves were very far.
This time, Li Ang didn't bring anyone, only Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai accompanied him, mainly because no one was willing to follow him, Athena was busy studying runes, wanting to break through to the seventh level as soon as possible.
Jiazi and Mu Mu had just completed the task, and they had been sleeping outside for several days, and they didn't want to go out at all, Emilia wanted to go, but of course Leon didn't want to take this ancestor with him, so in the end, there was only one person and two pets left to walk slowly to the activity area of the mission target.
It is said that it is an activity area, but it is actually a very large forest, and its area is probably larger than the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Small Xing'an Mountains before the end of the world combined.
This forest is named the Black Wood Forest, because most of the trees in it are a large tree called Black Rock Wood, and it is impossible to verify what kind of tree this tree was derived from, and no one has the interest to study this kind of problem, so it is meaningless.
Black rock wood is a very good building material, as the name suggests, this tree is very hard, like rock, both its outer skin and the wood inside are black, and even the leaves are green and black.
There is a big road from the capital to the Black Wood Forest, and there are still a lot of people coming and going, most of them are driving all kinds of vehicles, basically rough off-road vehicles and even armored vehicles, and they are all modified in a variety of ways, and now no one cares about modified cars, anyway, no one cares outside the city.
There are also people who ride mounts like Li Ang, most of them are very stylish, and Xiaobai's thunder unicorn is low-key, after all, it is small.
At the entrance to the Black Wood Grove is a small town, which is divided into two parts, one part is a military camp, and the other part is a place for hunters or adventurers to trade, rest, and relax, full of shops, taverns, inns, etc.
Li Ang did not stay in Blackwood Town for long, but walked straight to the Blackwood Forest, many hunters often do some supplies in Blackwood Town when they enter the Blackwood Forest to do tasks, or relax, it is difficult to say whether he can come back after this trip, but Li Ang does not need to.
It can be seen that there are a lot of people who go in and out of the black woods, and the forest has been walked out of a road, just like Mr. Lu Xun said, there is no road in the world, and it will become a road when there are more people, which Lu Xun really said!
When I first entered the Black Wood Forest, there were quite a lot of people around, and as I walked, there were gradually fewer people, all of whom went in different directions with their own goals in mind.
Most of the people traveled in groups, there were small teams of three or five, there were also large teams of dozens of people, and it was said that there were hunter groups of thousands of people, but Li Ang did not encounter them.
There are almost no people like Li Ang who come out, and the reason why I say it is almost because there are still people who are alone, and there is one not far in front of Li Ang at this moment, carrying a long knife that is more than two meters long, but the blade is very thin compared to the length, only as wide as the palm of the hand.
The long knife was stuck in the scabbard, and he carried it on his shoulder, and both hands were on the knife, walking carelessly in front of it, and Leon was very suspicious that when he really did it, his knife could not be pulled out.
Li Ang didn't intend to ignore him, and when he was driving Xiaobai to overtake the man, he didn't expect the man to stop Li Ang: "Brother, do you want to use people, I know this forest very well." ”
A sentence of knowing very well caught the attention of Li Ang, who was worried about it, the road in the forest is not easy to walk, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful.
"You said you know the forest very well, how much do you know it?" Leon stopped and asked.
Li Ang's words instantly stunned the man, how to describe this thing, do you want to draw a circle with your hand and say so much?
"Brother, you just need to give me five hundred yuan, what you say you want to find, but it is flying in the sky or running on the ground, even if it is swimming in the water, I can find it for you, and there is no problem if you want to find plants."
Before going out, Li Ang deliberately learned about the current currency, and now he no longer uses gold coins, but uses paper money and electronic payment as before, and he just used gold coins because the government has limited strength and cannot provide sufficient protection, so he can only use precious metals as the currency in circulation.
Now it is different, China has basically restored its unification, the government has enough strength, paper money and electronic payment are obviously much more convenient.
And the price of goods now is also very different from before, 500 yuan is really a lot, and its purchasing power can almost catch up with about 50,000 yuan before the end of the world.
"Five hundred? Why don't you grab it? Up to three hundred. "Li Ang is really not too expensive, it's just that he really doesn't have that much money, he has a total of three hundred in his pocket, and it was given to him by Jiazi.
"I can't grab it." The man was honest.
Feelings, have you really wanted to rob someone else......
"Brother, Mr. Lu Xun said, meeting is fate, three hundred is three hundred, my name is Wu Hua, what do you call it."
"Mr. Lu Xun said this?" Leon was skeptical.
"It doesn't matter, you say you're going."
"I'm looking for a bunch of vodkas."
Wu Hua suddenly fell silent, and instantly put away his posture of being a hanger, and his expression became very serious: "You~~ did you take that task?" ”
"What, you know a lot about this mission?"
Judging from Wu Hua's face, it is obvious that there are many unknown stories.
"Well, actually, we also took on this task." Wu Hua seemed to recall some painful memories.
"Failed?" You don't have to ask to know that this must be a failure, otherwise Li Ang would not have received this task.
"Yes, it failed, and it was a fiasco, everyone else died except me, I deserved to die, but I told myself, I can't die yet!" Wu Hua almost gritted his teeth and said.
"Take me to them."
"Good!"
Half a day passed quickly, and it should have been noon, and the sun could be seen hanging in the air through the lush foliage, but in the dense forest it was always gloomy, and hardly any sunlight could shine through.
"Didn't you say that the Black Wood Forest was dangerous, but it had been a long time since I walked, and there wasn't even a single one who could breathe." Leon began to wonder if the rumors about the Black Wood Forest were exaggerated.
"It's really strange, this area should be the activity area of the saliva rabbit and the three-tailed cat, although there is no danger, but it shouldn't be invisible to a single living one." Wu Hua frowned and thought for a while, then glanced back at Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai: "Mr. Li, what level are your two pets?" ”
"Level five, what's wrong."
"Eh~~ It's okay, let's keep walking, this is still the outermost area of the Black Wood Forest, and there are no powerful beasts."
Li Ang suddenly realized that his feelings were scared away by Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai.
