Chapter 9: The story that the lumberyard and the cat demon had to tell

"Poor thing! Isn't it good for the girl's family to stay at home? What to do as an adventurer. One of the older carpenters motioned for the other young man carrying the wood to put it down, ignoring the young man's eyes. A bowl of water was poured out of the wooden barrel next to him, avoiding Wang Feng's twisted right hand, and carefully placing the water on the ground. "Drink, girl, look at you like this, you're not from our town, are you? Whose parents are so ruthless that they will drive their children out of the house because of their changes? ”

Wang Feng thought for a while and pointed to his clothes, although they were broken, it shouldn't be difficult for the silk sacrificial robe to pretend to be a small nobleman. Then he seemed to inadvertently flick the log that was originally carried by two people with his right hand, and with the help of the power of ghosts and gods, the log that could only be lifted by two people rolled lightly in Wang Feng's hand, "I came from the imperial capital, and I have a younger brother at home." ”

"Alas. Patriarchy is natural, and the heir can only be a man in the empire. Don't be sad, girl. Now that you are a capable person, I wonder if I can ask you for a favor, and we will pay you accordingly. Looking at the log in Wang Feng's hand, the shirtless older carpenter first winced, and then his eyes lit up.

"Oh? What's the matter? Wang Feng put down the empty water cup and put down the wood as well, "You won't let me move the wood, will you?" ”

The adult laughed. That is true. Every dusk, those cat demons will run over from the bushes in the south, I wonder if the adults can help us drive them away? You can discuss the remuneration with our foreman. ”

"Where's the foreman? In the house? Wang Feng put down the water bowl and walked towards the woodcutter's hut.

"Stop, don't go into that room. I'll call it for you! The young man stopped Wang Feng with a panicked expression, and then ran into the house.

"Women are not allowed in the carpenter's hut." The older carpenter smiled unnaturally and explained.

In a few moments, a bearded man in a leather jacket ran out of the lumberyard, his eyes flashing with a sly light, "Can you help us drive away those hateful cat demons?" The brute infestation has already delayed the workers' work, and if you can help us, we are willing to pay us for the price of twenty copper plates of four cat demon nails. ”

Wang Feng remembered that Sherlock said today that there were two copper plates and one black bread, and twenty copper plates were equal to twenty black breads. Of course, you still have to see how the so-called cat demon combat ability is, and you can't have a finger tiger on the cat demon's paws...

"Where's the cat demon?"

"To the south, those brutes only come out and harass us at dusk, so that we can't work at dusk."

"South? Poisonous Swamp? How could the cat demon there come all the way here? Wang Feng thought about it, but still took out the simple leather map given by the goblin, put it on the table and measured it, now he knows what the old place marked with the poisonous swamp in the south is, looking at the marks on the map, the distance is extremely far.

"Twelve miles to the south is the Poison Swamp, where those bitch cats are. Maybe it's because there's a shoal here, or maybe it's because we have a lot of people and the smell of dinner? The foreman scratched his scalp and leaned over to look at Wang Feng's map.

"Well, to the west is the Thundering Ruins, the Goblin's hometown, and to the north is Granta, and I heard that there are Minotaurs there. Now there's a cat demon in the south, well, these guys are quite turf-conscious. Where is the river you just mentioned? Wang Feng glanced at the broken map, and indeed did not find any rivers drawn by Sherlock.

"Ah, here it is." The foreman drew his finger on the map from south to north, dividing the poisonous swamps, the thundering ruins, and the Granka equally, "The source of the river is said to be the snow-capped mountains, who knows." At the southern end is the Empire, and it is said that we used to be a good timber producing town, and it was transported along this river. After the opening of the sea train, this place was slowly abandoned, and if you can afford to look at the thundering ruins, there should still be the remains of a lumberyard. ”

"There are fish in this river?" Wang Feng thought about it, and still felt that it was not bad to settle down in the Grand Forest, after all, he was not very popular with the residents of the town.

"Well, yes, I'm a little skeptical right now that those damn cat demons were brought in by our riverside party at dusk. It's too bad that a fair number of cat demons come to infest us every day. ”

"Do cat demons only come and infest at dusk?" Wang Feng thought about it, then looked at the sun, and found that it was just ten o'clock in the morning.

"yes, we can almost recognize the cats that are infesting us. If you can get rid of them, maybe there won't be a new cat demon coming. ”

"Okay, I promised. If I could, I'd like to check out the river first and maybe find something. Ah, this is the blueberry I found, thank you for the news. Wang Feng put the dozen blueberries he found in his pocket on the workbench. He noticed that the locals seemed to like it, so the blueberries were found in the goblins that patrolled the area.

Probably more than five miles to the south, Wang Feng did not forget to cut some small marks for each tree trunk this time. Not only are the depths of the jungle inaccessible, but there are not even goblins. As he waded through the weeds, he found blueberries, vitex fruits, some seemingly edible berries, and even the fruit of a thunder tree. Of course, Wang Feng did not forget to check the four-leaf pendant, but found that the task of the lumberyard was classified into the trial of GSD.

Of course, there are some seemingly bright berry mushrooms, whether they can be eaten or not, Wang Feng doesn't know very well. You can learn from Celia when the time comes, and by the way, take the little leather boots that you promised to yourself. After all, Wang Feng was disgusted and vomited from time to time by all kinds of things that might be rotten mushrooms or animal feces on his bare feet.

Grass, bushes, and acupuncture bushes all have gray-white and yellow hairs left from time to time, but whether these hairs are cat demons or not, Wang Feng is not very sure. After all, in addition to the deer he had seen earlier, he had also seen creatures similar to rabbits while exploring.

When Wang Feng crossed the jungle and saw the river that was more than ten meters wide, Wang Feng suddenly found that the carpenter did not say very clearly about the direction of the river, although its river course was roughly a straight line, but it was not the right direction from south to north, well, to be precise, it was from the southeast to the northwest, and the water flow was quite turbulent, but Wang Feng quickly found the river beach that the foreman said, but did not find any traces of the barbecue scene.

On a path that was almost covered with weeds, Wang Feng saw a mass of torn leather clothing, and near the clothing was a rusted automatic pistol.

As for the scattered skeletons, Wang Feng carefully pieced them together, but due to the serious lack and the fact that he didn't see the skulls, he couldn't be sure if it was the remains of human adventurers, or maybe the bones of those goblins. Wang Feng thought about it, but still used the giant sword to dig a pit and bury the bones.

Wang Feng didn't pick up the broken thing that looked like shards than the one he was wearing, but he picked up the heavily rusted automatic pistol. It took him a lot of effort to open or smash the gun, but he found that not a single bullet was missing from it, so he put the pistol away, and Wang Feng felt that through this rag, it was possible to find its owner.

After drinking some water from the river, Wang Feng looked around, made a mark, nodded with satisfaction, and sorted out the wild fruits he had picked up, the wild fruits on his body could no longer be filled, and there were ridiculously many fruits here, it should be because no one picked them.
