"Center Lake? You... You're lying to me," Lucy felt deceived, and her anger made her words less coherent.

"Lie to you? No, what did I lie to you?" Lucy's words made Qin Yan feel very wronged, when did he lie to her.

Seeing that Qin Yan didn't admit it, Lucy felt even more angry, and she said angrily, "I asked you if you were a forest goblin before, and you said no." ”

"Yes, I'm not a goblin, I'm a human being. Saying that, Qin Yan puffed up his chest, with an expression of disbelief that you were touching.

"However, Mr. Guide told me that the forest elves live by the lake in the center, so could it be that there are other people living there?" Lucy began to wonder as well, and she wondered to herself, could it be that Mr. Guide had misremembered?

Hearing Lucy's question, Qin Yan shook his head and said, "Impossible, there is only our family living near the central lake, and there is absolutely no one else." ”

"Then you are the legendary forest elf, Mr. Guide said that the forest elf will help people who get lost in the forest, aren't you also helping me?" Lucy said in a very positive tone.

"What goblins aren't goblins........ Shh

Seeing Qin Yan's gesture, Lucy hurriedly covered her mouth with a pair of small hands.

Although she was no longer as scared as before, Lucy still didn't dare to let her guard down in such an unfamiliar environment.

Qin Yan listened to it for a long time before he tried his best to lower his voice, and whispered in Lucy's ear, "It seems that someone is coming, it should be poachers, let's hurry up, cross the creek and go a little further to see the forest path." ”

Lucy heard Qin Yan's words and nodded to indicate that she understood.

After Qin Yan received Lucy's affirmative answer, he took Lucy's hand again, and the two continued to run forward.

Time goes back a few minutes ago.

Richard and the Boar are engaged in a fierce battle.

The Devil's Back Boar itself is a monster known for its defense and impact, and it is difficult for Richard's Rapier to inflict lethal damage on it.

And Richard, with his agility, also made the attacks of the demon-backed boar frequently fail.

Thus began a protracted battle between one man and one pig.

Just as the Boar charged at Richard again, Richard saw his chance.

I saw him like a matador, shaking the charging demon-backed boar past him, and then he himself turned over and jumped onto the boar's back.

At this time, Richard's eyes were red, he clamped the boar's body tightly with his legs to prevent himself from falling off its back, and held the sword high with both hands, aiming it at a wound on the boar's back and stabbing it hard.

This wound was caused by Richard's previous grappling with him, and although this not too deep wound was nothing to the rough-skinned Devil's Back Boar, it was the key to Richard's victory.

The boar felt the pain coming from behind him, causing him to flap like crazy, trying to knock Richard off his back.

But Richard was determined to kill it, and his hands gripped the half-inserted sword, and his legs desperately clamped the boar's body.

After the devil-backed boar struggled for a while, it finally lost its strength, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and a huge head gasped for breath.

Richard jumped off the boar's back moments before it fell to the ground, and he approached the boar's side and tried to draw his acpier.

However, the bulging muscles behind the devil-backed boar had already clamped the rapier in the flesh, and no matter how hard Richard tried, the rapier could not be pulled out.

In the end, Richard had no choice but to give up his acilleroe, take out a knife from his waist for field cooking, and walk in front of the demon-backed boar.

Richard looked at the demon-backed boar with a grim expression and said, "Beast, pay for your stupid comeback." ”

Just as Richard raised his knife and was about to kill the demon-backed boar, a rough voice came from behind Richard, "Honorable noble lord, such rough work can be entrusted to us subordinates." ”

Richard followed the sound and looked back, and a strong black man was walking from the forest with a tall, thin man with fair skin.

Although the black man saw that Richard's expression was full of vigilance, he said indifferently at all, "Noble lord, it's an honor to meet you, my name is Ma Chi." ”

The black man named Ma Chi looked at Richard's embarrassed appearance and continued, "It looks like you're in some trouble, maybe we can help you." ”

Richard also looked at each other, the two of them were dressed in hunting equipment, and there were specks of blood on the hunting knives on their waists, and they knew that they were hunters in the forest at a glance, but Richard didn't care what they were doing at this time.

Richard just said in an indifferent tone, "No, you can't help me." ”

"Master, you're welcome, I see you dressed like this, you should also be the steward of a big family, if you want to find someone, we have a good tracker in the team. "Ma Chi is not the kind of person who is uninformed.

In fact, Ma Chi is constantly knowledgeable and delicate, otherwise he would not have mixed in this forest of fire tails.

When Richard heard Ma Chi's words, the sadness on his face could no longer be hidden, and he pointed to the demon-backed boar still lying on the ground and said, "No need, the person I'm looking for is in the belly of this beast." ”

"Master, I think maybe you are mistaken, the devil-backed boar has a habit, that is, after eating, it will always rest in place to help its body better absorb the nutrients of the food. ”

As he spoke, he came to the side of the boar, put his hand on the boar's belly, and continued, "But look at this boar, it is clear that it has not eaten for a long time. ”

After Richard listened to Ma Chi's words, the original cold heart gradually regained some temperature, and he hurriedly asked Ma Chi, "So the person I'm looking for is still alive?"

"Uh~ I can't say this, after all, there are man-eating monsters everywhere in the forest. Ma Chi knew that only by making the other party anxious at this time could he take the opportunity to get a greater return.

"Yes, you're right, you said earlier that there is a player who is good at tracking, I don't know where he is now, I need him very much. Richard put his hands around Ma Chi's shoulders and said excitedly.

"He's right there, you wait a minute. Ma Chi felt a pain in his shoulder, and it was clear that Richard had exerted a little more force.

Richard looked in the direction the gallop was pointing, and the tall, thin man was on the ground probing for something.

Seeing Richard looking at him, the tall and thin man said to Richard, "The marks on the ground should be two children about five years old, one is very lightweight, it should be a girl, and the other is probably a boy." ”

At this time, Richard didn't care about the question of why it was two children, he said excitedly, "Yes, that's the person I'm looking for, quick, take me to them." ”

"Wait a minute, noble sir, should we not talk about remuneration. The horse gallop stopped Richard, who wanted to leave immediately.

"Yes, yes, you should be paid, you say, what do you want?" said Richard generously.

Ma Chi heard Richard's tone of not being short of money, so he pointed to the demon-backed boar on the ground and said, "This monster is counted as a deposit, and after you find the person you are looking for, you will end the payment, and the balance is not much, how about a thousand gold coins?"

(100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin, 10 copper coins have a purchasing power of about 1 RMB, and 1 gold coin has a purchasing power of about 1,000 RMB)

Richard also knew that the other party was a lion's mouth, but now he had no other choice.

Richard nodded and said, "No problem, let's go now." ”

"Don't worry, we'll have to wait a little longer, although this is on the edge of the forest, the slightest carelessness can still cost people some lives. Once again, the gallop stopped Richard's request.

"Others, where are they, when will they arrive?" Richard felt like he didn't want to wait any longer, after all, if he stayed here for a second, Lucy would be more dangerous.

"They're over there to take care of some work, and it should be there soon. Ma Chi said to Richard as he tied up the demon-backed boar.

After hearing this, Richard's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Sir, what price can this wild boar sell for?"

"Oh, you're interested in this, if you want the materials, you'll need a hundred gold coins, and if you live, it's almost three times the price. Ma Chi said with a profiteer's face.

Although Richard knew that the price would be higher than the market price, he did not hesitate to say, "Okay, sir, I will give you another thousand gold coins, let your people stop all their work now, and help me find someone." ”

After hearing this, Ma Chi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a wicked smile, "Okay, generous sir, if you had said so earlier, we might have found them." ”

After saying that, Ma Chi put a bone whistle in his mouth, and a string of strange sounds came from the whistle, and a few seconds later, the same sound came from a distance, which was counted as a response.

After receiving the response, Ma Chi said to Richard with a smile, "Sir, I have sent someone out to look for it, they will leave a mark, as long as we follow the mark, I believe we will be able to find the person you want soon." ”

"Okay, let's go at once. Richard urged.

"Sir, please. After Ma Chi finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the tall and thin man where Richard couldn't see.

The tall and thin man nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The two of them seemed to be secretly planning something.
