Chapter 171: Sympathy for Fellowship 8
Wen Ji clasped her hands together and said with a serious expression, "I think everyone already knows the purpose of our gathering this time. She paused for a moment and glanced vaguely at Yue Jingheng, "The figure of Garuda appeared in the Foggy Black Forest. The pay is good, and the corpse is self-sufficient, although it is dangerous, but it is a very good deal. β
Garuda is a holy beast-level existence, and there is no rare material that is not rare and rare all over the body, from skin to bone. Leaving aside the generous remuneration offered by the employer, such an opportunity could not be easily passed up, even for the sake of Garuda's corpse.
"However, the danger is also equal." Although the corners of Yue Jingheng's mouth were hooked, there was a faint displeasure in his eyes, "What are you going to do?" "It's normal for him to be dissatisfied, and as the strongest person in the group, the position of the main attack is bound to fall to him. And if it weren't for Bryson's invitation, he wouldn't have had any interest in this so-called Garuda.
Wen Ji frowned, and didn't seem to hear the deep meaning of Yue Jingheng's words, "Although the other people present are not as strong as you, they are all leaders in the guild. β
Before the words fell, Yue Jingheng sneered, "You are too naΓ―ve." His eyes darkened, and he clenched his hands tightly.
Huge benefits can drive people to take risks, but this does not include the cost of life. Yue Jingheng was well aware of Garuda's strength because he ...... Ever experienced.
Wen Ji was stimulated by Yue Jingheng's unrelenting sarcasm, and her eyes were full of anger, but it was Ainalu who made a round to calm her down.
Bryson patted Yue Jingheng on the shoulder, and Lang said with a smile: "Okay, Yue, don't forget that you still owe me a life." One more you, but one more life. β
It can be seen that Bryson is trying his best to adjust the oppressive atmosphere, and Yue Jingheng is no longer aggressive.
Jun Bi nestled in Yue Jingheng's arms, sensitively aware of the changes in his mood, and secretly wondered if there was something hidden in it.
The Foggy Black Forest is a popular place to hunt monsters, there were not too many monsters there before, and there were no particularly high-level ones, which is very suitable for novice training.
Since Garuda appeared in the Foggy Black Forest, demon beasts have gradually begun to gather, and high-level demon beasts have also appeared more frequently. The beast tide that comes every five years is getting more and more violent, so much so that it is on the verge of being uncontrollable. Because of this, the hunt for Garuda is imminent.
Soon after the departure, Feng Yan withdrew directly due to urgency, and Bryson, although he was a little displeased, still let the people go, which was originally a voluntary action.
The group moved on, with Bryson and Kadri leading the way, followed by Tattoo. Ainalu and Ian are not strong in defense and walk in the middle. Junbi and Yue Jingheng were the last.
Along the way, Junbi saw many animal and humanoid bones, and even some of them were not completely rotted and clean, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Halfway through, they came to a place where vines were entangled. The dark green rattan seems to be a living thing, swaying and swimming, and the sharp thorns on it make the scalp tingle, and if you look closely, you can find the green mucus on it. As if smelling the breath of a living person, the rattans became extremely excited.
Wenhime and Bryson looked at each other, frowning between their eyebrows. It seems that the situation in the Foggy Black Forest is indeed not simple, not only the demon beasts are affected, but even the plants have exceeded their estimates. These vines look similar to the stinger vines, but they are much larger than them.
As they hesitated, the vines attacked first. The rattan whip as thick as an arm whipped out, and with a gust of wind, the ranks of several people were scattered.
Yue Jingheng hugged Junbi and stepped back agilely, tiptoe to the ground, jumped up in an instant, and easily stepped on the branch on the side.
Bryson and Kadri raised their plate axes and hammers and smashed the vines to pieces.
Ainalu dodged the blow, her slender eyes narrowed slightly, "Don't resist, it can regenerate." Its weakness is at the root. With that, she threw a few thin gold leaves and shot them at the roots of the vines. This golden leaf seems to be thin and fragile, but in fact it is extremely tough, directly cutting off several major veins.
Ian struck while the iron was hot, his palm pressed against the ground, and a layer of ice crystals spread out from his palm, reaching the roots of the vines at a visible speed, freezing them.
At the same time, Tattoo jumped to her feet, wielding her whip and shuttling through the vines like lightning, turning them into crumbling pieces of ice.
The first battle was won, and Yue Jingheng didn't even make a move. Several people high-fived each other in celebration, with a relaxed smile on their faces.
Yue Jingheng hugged Junbi and fell behind them, his expression did not change in the slightest. I don't know if it's Junbi's illusion, but after entering the Foggy Black Forest, his mood is a little abnormal.
"Are you tired?" Jun Bi thought about it, and still asked. Her cheeks were mostly obscured by a cloak, and her dark eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky.
Yue Jingheng shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "It's okay." After speaking, he stretched out a hand and rubbed it on the top of Junbi's head.
Although she was wearing the cloak, Junbi still felt the warm heat in her palm, which spread from the top of her head to her cheeks. She really has no resistance to touching her head.
"The more, hurry up and keep up!" Bryson greeted him in a loud voice, which also evoked Yue Jingheng, who was deep in thought. He answered, and took a few quick steps to keep up with the group.
The small monsters around were basically cleaned up, although there were quite a few of them, but they were easy to deal with. They are ready to camp here temporarily, and the foggy black forest at night is especially dangerous, so they must be fully prepared.
After these few days of travel, Junbi finally knew why she was so unkempt when she met Yue Jingheng before.
Not to mention Yue Jingheng, even Wenji and Aina Lu are also infected with wind and frost. This is especially true of the two rough men, Bryson and Kadri, who were just a little more rugged before, but now they are full of recklessness, and from a distance, they look like two brown bears.
The deeper they went into the Foggy Black Forest, the more dangers they encountered, and Yue Jingheng inevitably made a few moves during this period.
But Junbi's situation is very different, not only does she not have to make a move, but she is also pampered like a pampered eldest lady.
I don't know if Yue Jingheng felt guilty because of his relationship with Junbi, or if there were other reasons, he spoiled Junbi, it was like the rhythm of heaven.
No need to walk, he will hug. Don't fight the monster, he will beat it. Without any help, he will prepare food, or the kind that is full of color and flavor, compared to the other few people who nibble on the demon beast meat that is just used to fill their stomachs every day, Junbi can also drink sweet juice. Even Junbi has hot water to wash the body every day, yes, every day!
Yue Jingheng seems to be a mobile high-end hotel, which can also talk and can be used as a means of transportation.
Others are dissatisfied, but more envious. Especially the two girls, the jealous eyes are about to burn Junbi out of a hole. The men are much more generous, and at most they salivate over the food.
