Chapter 138: Skull
As the leaves shook as Suoso's branches swayed, a small group of mercenaries appeared in Dark's line of sight.
"A monkey's skull is worth five hundred pounds, and when converted into pounds, it is worth more than three hundred and fifty. A strong man looked at the scalp of the monkey that was still dripping blood in his hand, and said with a smile.
Someone unceremoniously shattered his illusions: "Atlas's condition is the skull of a 'giant' monkey, and the most you peel is considered 'big'." ”
The strong man waved his hand unceremoniously: "What are you afraid of? Who can tell so clearly? If you want to calculate, won't you earn it? This time the monkey has become a hot commodity." ”
There are also humanitarians: "Why is Atlas's reward so inexplicable this time?
"Who knows, maybe a witch doctor will come up with an elixir of immortality. ”
One of the mages who had been searching for the path with magic energy in front looked back and said, "I think it's Atlas who wants to recruit people and use this way to provoke various mercenary teams to compete with each other. ”
The strong man smiled: "Five hundred people want to make these people tear each other apart, and the reward is a little lower." ”
"The big guild definitely doesn't care, the small mercenary group must have their lives for this, and the winner will most likely receive the next round of tasks from Atlas. So smart people don't catch monkeys casually, but find out the distribution of monkey nests. As soon as the next round of missions is announced, Atlas's purpose will be clear, and it will be up to who is more prepared in advance. Besides, the more fierce you catch on the periphery, the deeper the monkeys will flee, and the nests will be a mess, what will you do then?"
"Makes sense. ”
"I have another idea, is this mission issued by the temple, or from the palace?"
"Temple. ”
"I heard that the original Atlas hero Yupanki appeared here, and he was persecuted by the temple and fled, maybe it has something to do with the monkey skull. ”
"What does it matter?"
"The Atlas Temple has always been indifferent to Kutbarozze's side, but as soon as the news of Yupanki's appearance spread, there was a skull bounty immediately, what a coincidence, right?"
"I see, this Yu Panji must be a monkey king disguised as a human, and his whereabouts were exposed and he fled!"
“...... Your brain hole is too big, make up for it, and be careful of water. ”
A group of people walked and talked, and gradually moved away.
Ramos exhaled lightly and stood up: "Okay, safe. Doesn't sound like a lie, what do you think?"
Isabella asked, "Did Atlas have a tradition of using monkey sacrifices in the past? Could it be that Tenotiran was influenced to abolish living sacrifices and replace them with monkeys?"
Yupanki said: "No. Atlas is a traditional country, and tradition can be said to be wasted. In my opinion, since it was a mission issued by the temple, it must have been instructed by Kuruma, and his target must have been the big monkey we met yesterday. ”
Duck said, "Agreed, do you remember the first time we met, the monkey that attacked you was very similar to this one." ”
"Well, I scratched my tesuji at the time, and Isabella helped pick it up. But that one is much better than yesterday's. ”
Isabella added: "But it doesn't use spells like this one yesterday does, and it feels like a monkey who is particularly proficient in combat." ”
Ramos smiled: "This monkey also has the division of labor of warrior mage, it's really not simple-" His face suddenly stiffened: "Could it be that a monkey tribe with the wisdom of humans has risen?
Duck didn't speak, thought quietly for a while, and said, "That's not a monkey, it's a human." ”
Yupanji and Ramos said in unison: "Impossible!" The two looked at each other, and Yupanji said: "Obviously a monkey, how can a person have such a long tail? And the movements are exactly the same as a monkey!"
Ramos said: "As for the use of props, it should have been found by mistake - some monkeys will use stones to smash fruit to eat, so what does it mean?"
Duck shook his head: "Ramos, you may not have dealt with them, but Isabella and Yupanki must remember them." ”
"Who?"
"Yanoma tribe, old mandrill barak!"
Isabella and Yupanki shouted in unison, "Transfiguration!"
"Yes, the Transfiguration Technique launched by the Totem Pole temporarily transforms a person into the form of a beast, and combines the wisdom of a human with the power of a beast. This is one of the legacies of Gutnotiran and has been handed down among the shamans of the Yanoma clan. ”
Isabella said: "I remember what you said, Barak said that if the totem pole is destroyed during the transformation, it can only remain in the form of a beast, is it possible that these two monkeys are both humans who are forced to live in monkey form?"
Yupanki frowned: "If the reasoning is correct, then, if Kuruma wants to kill all the giant monkeys, he actually wants to kill all these people?
Ramos said: "I have heard of the man of the High Priest of Kuruma, who seems to be an ambitious fellow, it seems that he is very close to the royal family, and his former High Priest is also very suspicious because he fell ill for no apparent reason, and then he took the position of High Priest. ”
Duck said, "Since Kuruma wants the monkey to die, we have to let the monkey live!"
Ramos was a little worried: "But, what about those big guilds? If we offend them, what will we do in the future?"
Everyone laughed, and Yupanki said, "Which is bigger, the Grand Guild or Tenotirambi, and you really want to be a guide for the rest of your life?"
Isabella also quipped: "Take out the courage to transfer and skip school back then!"
Ramos also smiled when he heard this, and said: "In this case, we have to temporarily change our goal, from looking for the Thunder Slime to rescuing the monkey temporarily, and we must be prepared to fight a tough battle, and every rescue and ambush must be successful in one blow." And the more difficult it becomes, the mercenaries will definitely spread the news of our monkey rescue team, and the defense will become more and more tight. So," his arms clicked, parting to the left and right, popping out three chilly pipes, "let them see what the real Abyss Devouring is!"
Duck said, "No, we bought it." ”
Ramos was stunned: "Buy?"
"Not bad. The people who came in had no enmity with the monkeys because of Kuruma's bounty. You think, Kuruma has money on his side, but we are killing them all on a killing spree, doesn't this just push them all to Kuruma's side? We also offer a reward, and Kuruma will pay 500 yuan for a skull, and we will live, 1,000, and we will pay it to Tenotiran. ”
Isabella said, "That's right, since Kuruma can offer a reward, so can we. Don't forget, we're no ordinary mercenaries, we're backed by a nation on the rise. ”
"Well, it looks like we're going to have to make a trip back to the tavern, but, until word spreads, we can't guarantee the safety of all the giant monkeys - if they do have many. Who will you send back?"
"Of course it's you. You hurry back to the tavern, spread the word about the bounty, and hire a reliable team by the way," Duck slapped Ramos's spell unit on the monkey's hand, "and send this to George in Tenotiran City, he will understand it as soon as he sees it." Tell him to send someone for support. As for the giant monkeys, do you think they will give in easily? The sky will fall apart, and when the time comes, it's time for us to get out of the way. ”
"I'm leaving, can you do it?"
Duck laughed: "It's nothing more than returning to the same starting line with other teams, what are you afraid of? I have a hunch that since the giant monkeys took the initiative to find us, there must be a reason, they will definitely appear again." It's you, many people in the tavern have seen you with us, so be careful that someone sells you and Kuruma for credit. ”
"Don't worry, I've had more than a hundred escapes, and one more is nothing. Then I'll go, junior brother, be careful. ”
"You too, have a nice trip!"
