27. Departure
Dole nodded, in fact, from the condition that everyone was divided equally, it could be seen that the fat man didn't look down on him much, and he still sincerely wanted to cooperate with him.
"Yes, I can take you to find the wild boar, when are you leaving?"
The four of them obviously didn't expect Dole to be so direct, and after thinking about it, the fat man said, "In this case, let's make a contract first, and then we need to prepare, and we'll see you again at the door of the Adventurer's Guild in two hours." ”
Dole nodded, took the contract handed over by the fat man, and went to the front desk to register, so that a temporary team could be formed, if there was an accident, such as a breach of contract, the responsibility was joint and several, and the default record was recorded in the owner's file, in case one party messed up.
Dole took the contract and hurriedly left the Adventurers' Guild to go back and get some things, after all, he might have to camp in the Green Sea Forest.
Watching Dole leave quickly, the tall girl asked Phyllis, "Phil, why are you calling this person?" This man [no ^fault^][]. []. [ ] Looks like we're about the same age, so I'm afraid I don't have much experience. ”
Phyllis shook his head, "I have a feeling when I see him, I think he is a reliable person. ”
"It's a reliable P, I think it's a silver gun candle head, it's useless!" The tall and thin man was still a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"Okay, okay, since it's all like this now, let's try it." The fat man came out to play a round, although he was also skeptical about Dole's ability in his heart, but at the moment, the stability of the team was more important.
Phyllis looked at the three of them as if they were a little suspicious of the blue-haired boy, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.
In fact, she had already noticed Dole when she was observing the mission wall. She found that Dole had barely looked at the one-star collection mission. Instead, I looked directly at some of the hunting missions. And he often shows a frown.
So. According to her inference, the blue-haired teenager may have even reached the level of two stars.
Of course, she knew that if she said this speculation, her companions would not believe it, so she could only hold it in her heart, and she had the advantage of believing in her own feelings.
The four of them finally discussed. They each left the Adventurer's Guild and took charge of a piece of content separately to prepare for the mission.
Two hours later.
The five of them gathered at the door of the Adventurers' Guild, and Dole carried a bag that wasn't too big, wearing only a gray cloth armor.
The other four were already wearing leather armor with higher defensive power, and they looked a lot more high-end than Dole.
The tall and thin man looked at the traveler-like outfit, and couldn't help but smile shamelessly, thinking to himself, this hillbilly, sure enough, the gap is still too big. Phyllis was really blindsided this time.
The fat man's face was calm, and he couldn't see any joy: "Since everyone is together." Then let's go. By the way, my name is Tex, and if you want something, you can tell me. ”
With that, he walked away.
"Boy, it doesn't matter if you don't help, but don't hold back, Uncle Reese will come to save you when the time comes!" The tall and thin man said to Dol with a proud face, and followed the fat man up closely.
Phyllis walked over with the tall girl and apologized to Dole, "Dole, this is Vivian, don't mind what Reese said just now, that's how he talks without going through his brain." ”
Dole smiled, as if he hadn't heard anything, "Let's go, be lucky, you'll be able to meet a wild boar today." ”
As he spoke, under the surprised gaze of the two beauties, he stepped out.
Green Sea Forest.
The green sea forest in spring is very beautiful, full of insects and birds, the thin sunlight spills down from among the leaves, the light breeze caresses the hair, and the occasional shadow or two of wild beasts in the jungle is fleeting among the jungles. …
"Dore, you go slowly, I'm a little tired." Phyllis said breathlessly, sweat oozing from his forehead, his chest rose and fell slightly, obviously he was not tired, there was a feeling that ordinary people had run 2000 meters, and the other three of Turk and Vivian also felt a soreness on their feet, and they really wanted to sit down and rest.
The three of them looked at the thin young man in front of them with strange eyes, and they really couldn't figure it out, their fighting spirit had already been consumed, and their physical strength was almost exhausted, but this guy still looked like he was fine, and this guy was carrying a big bag.
Only the tall, thin man named Reese gritted his teeth and insisted.
Just kidding, how can I not even compare to this hillbilly!
Therefore, although he looked a little tired, he didn't complain, maybe his fighting spirit level was higher than others, and he could still hold on.
Dole looked at them, and couldn't help but shake his head, these people's physical fitness is too low, and now he has slowed down, walking for more than two hours to get to the mountain road that was blocked last time, if he walked with Dorami, maybe he would not be far from Hall Village.
However, he also knew that if he didn't let them rest and rest, he would stay in the Green Sea Forest, and if he encountered an emergency, it would definitely be very troublesome, and he obviously couldn't leave them alone.
Alas, I thought it was an easy job to hunt wild boars, but I didn't expect to end up playing the role of a nanny.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the five of them found a place to sit down and rest for a while.
"Dole, how long will it take to get to your destination?" After Phyllis sat down, he couldn't help but ask, in fact, she was really a little tired.
"At the speed, we will be at our destination in about three hours."
Phyllis was like a deflated ball, "It's so far away, I thought this forest was full of wild boars." ”
Fat Turk looked at her like this and said, "It's so easy, what kind of local adventurers do we ask to complete the mission together." Then he glanced at Dole a few times, "Boy, I can't see that your thin body has such strong staying power!" ”
"yes, yes, I didn't think you were that good at Dole!" Phyllis nodded desperately, agreeing.
Dole smiled and said lightly, "It's been a long time." Just get used to it. ”
"Hmph. I think you'll be able to lead the way. What's so strange about going fast, you have the ability to hunt monsters and try it! Bamboo Pole Reese said with some disdain, he always felt that Dole had attracted Phyllis's gaze, and he didn't feel very good.
"Reese!" Phyllis was a little angry, "What's wrong with you today, why do you keep targeting Dole so much!" ”
"I ......" Reese was a little speechless, and his originally unhappy mood was now even more full of resentment towards Dole, and he "hummed". He turned away and said no more.
Turk saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he came out to play a round: "Brother Dole, this is also the first time we have come to the Green Sea Forest, we may have to camp here at night, and we have to take care of you a lot." ”
Dole waved his hand, "When the time comes, we will split up to find some supplies, and there will generally be no fierce demonic beasts in this peripheral area." ”
Later, during the break, Turk asked Dole for some information about the Green Sea Forest, so that he could take care of everything. And among them, only Phyllis asked a question or two from time to time. Vivien, on the other hand, was expressionless and couldn't see her emotions, and Reece sulked on the side.
After half an hour, Dole got up from the ground, "Let's go, if you can't reach the boar's haunt before the sun goes down, then the completion time of this mission will have to be extended." ”
With that, Dole stood up and patted the dust off his body and picked up his luggage. …
However, looking at the sad eyes of Phyllis on the ground, knowing that her physical strength had not fully recovered, she finally reluctantly carried her package by the way, said "Let's go", and walked forward without looking back.
"What's that?" Not to be outdone, Reece hurried to follow.
The rest of the fat Turk, the silent Miss, and the reluctant Phyllis looked at each other, and although they had not fully recovered, they had to follow them.
The sun's rays were not so hot anymore, and they were about to set down the mountain, indicating that it was already evening.
Phyllis and the others were exhausted and followed Dole, and finally came to a flat land, where the sun shone on the green branches and young grasses with a faint golden yellow.
Seeing that Dole listened, Phyllis and the others who were left behind quickly sat on the ground with their "plopping" butts, and the luggage in their hands was thrown aside at will.
"Huhu...... Has it finally arrived? Phyllis's chest was slightly undulating, his sideburns were mixed with some sweat, and his hands were beating his legs, and he could see that he was really tired from walking.
Although Miss and Bamboo Pole Reese didn't speak much, the sweat on their foreheads and the sweat on their backs also showed their exhaustion and intense exercise.
As for Fat Turk...... Well, this guy is already lying on the ground and won't move anything.
Dol watched the reactions of these people, and knew that the original desire for these people to help the camp together would definitely be frustrated, so it was better to do more on his own.
He went to the jungle, found some dry firewood, sorted it out and moved it back to the camp, camping without a campfire was intended to be dangerous, and when he brought the firewood, the bamboo pole Reese had already stood up, and was observing the surroundings, obviously he was not like Dole who compared him to him at once.
At this time, Phyllis also regained a little strength, sat up and said, "Dore, what do you need me to do?" ”
Dole looked at her, apparently not fully recovered, and thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have feces with monsters?" ”
"Uh...... Turkna seems to have. ”
"Well, then you can sprinkle that, remember to sprinkle as much as possible to put us in a circle."
"Ah...... This ......" Phyllis hesitated a little, feeling that the work of spreading was a little disgusting, but seeing that Dole had already gone to prepare for the fire, he still found Turk's luggage and took out the bottle.
"Hmm......"
"What's wrong, Fei'er?" Bamboo Pole Reese watched Dole walk away, then walked over and asked, he looked at Phyllis's expression, and then at the monster feces on her hands, and immediately understood her trouble, so he said, "I'll help you." ”
As he spoke, Reese took the fecal bottle from Phyllis's hand.
Phyllis looked at Dole, who was preparing to light a fire in the distance, and a thought arose in his heart - why was it so natural for him to do these things, but not for me.
Then, to Rees's surprise, Phyllis snatched the fecal bottle from his hand and walked off into the distance and began to pour it.
Dole, on the sidelines, watched as Phyllis was seriously sprinkling the monster's feces. I couldn't help but nodded. Although they look a little like the young master and young lady of a big family. But it is not easy for Phyllis to adjust his mentality so quickly.
On the side, Reece looked at Phyllis, who originally loved cleanliness so much, and couldn't help but sprinkle the feces of this monster, he looked at Dole who was still making a fire there with a black face, and the disgust for Dole in his heart suddenly increased for some reason.
But Dole didn't care. At this time, he had already lit the fire, and the slight light of the fire shone on his face, and he could not see his thoughts.
At this time, the tall Miss and the fat Turk were almost resting, and the fat man came over to see Dole, and said embarrassedly: "Brother, I'm really bothering you." What else do we need to do now? ”…
And although the tall Miss didn't speak, he stood next to Teke, and the meaning was very clear - you can say what you want to do.
Dole thought about it, these people really didn't seem to have enough hunting experience. I don't know how to cherish my time in the jungle, "Aren't you going to catch wild boars?" Don't set up some bait now. How can it lead to the appearance of wild boars? ”
Tek and Miss only then reacted, and in fact, this was why Dole had to go to great lengths to get them to this place for a short time.
The forest at night is not moving, because there is a possibility of monsters jumping out at any time, such a danger factor is extremely high, if you don't get here before the sun sets today, then the time to hunt tonight will be wasted. If it usually takes three days to complete a task, it will take four days.
Fat Teck and the tall Miss took out some ingredients from their bags, all of which were some common ingredients, and after the blending of blue mushrooms and smelly mushrooms, Dole found some green camellia from the ground and mixed it in, which can produce an extremely strong green camellia flavor, which can attract herbivorous monsters.
Because the wild boar's attack method is relatively simple, it basically relies on a short rush to use its own mass to generate a strong impact, so in general, landing traps are a good choice.
When Turk and the tall Miss heard Dole's explanation, they couldn't help but nod, "Dole, it looks like you're really good, I originally thought you were a rookie adventurer!" ”
"Hehe, I just live here, so I just happen to understand these things."
It can be seen that Turk seems to have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but lack of practical experience, and after Dole's simple guidance, they immediately understood the doorway. So, the tall Miss will continue to mix and grind these things while Turk goes to dig a pit a few hundred meters away and make a trap.
About an hour later, Tek and Miss finished their work, and by this time it was already dark, and the five of them were sitting around the campfire. This time it wasn't as lucky as the last time Dole and Dorami were together, so they had to take some dry food out of their backpacks and eat it with water.
"Dore, have you been in this green sea forest for a long time? I see how much you know! During this period, Phyllis sighed that she looked at Dole, who was about the same age as herself, but much more capable than herself, and was born with emotion.
Dole smiled, but didn't speak, the shadow of the white shirt suddenly appeared in his mind, thinking of her star-like eyes, thinking of the first time she took herself into the green sea forest.
I don't know, how is she doing at Mousse Academy now?
"Dole?"
"Huh?" Dole came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, something suddenly came to mind. ”
"Uh...... It's okay, anyway thank you really for today. Phyllis smiled sincerely.
"It's not thankful to say thank you, can we do the task together? I don't think you seem to come out on assignments very often, and you ......" Dole looked at them, and then stopped.
"Boy, don't ask what you shouldn't." Bamboo pole Reese shouted unceremoniously.
"Reese! You're enough! Phyllis shouted, his tone mixed with continued anger.
"Fei'er, why do you talk about me everywhere for this kid!" Reese heard Phyllis's anger, and his long-held aggrieved mood couldn't help but explode anymore, stood up, and began to yell at Phyllis: "Say, do you have a crush on this kid?" What's so good about him? Thin arms, in addition to knowing a little bit of jungle skills, what else can you know? How can you look at this kind of hillbilly! ”
"What are you talking about!" Phyllis looked at the excited Reese and listened to his harsh words, and he was also very excited. …
"Reese. You're a little too extreme right now! "Aside. Vivien, who had not spoken, spoke. She and Phyllis were good sisters, and now Reese's behavior suddenly made her feel uncomfortable.
"Vivien, even you say that? Have you forgotten that the last time you encountered the Megatooth on the other side of the Cangshui River, if it weren't for me, you would still have survived? ”
"Reese, stop talking!" Turke, who was on the side, saw that Reese's words were a little too much, and stopped him. After all, during this day, he could see that Dole had actually taken good care of his people, and Reese was now clearly on the verge of losing control.
"Turk, even you say that?" Reese was even more excited when he saw Reese say this, "Do you all think he's better than me and better than me?" So you don't think I need to exist anymore? ”
"Hahaha!" , he laughed maniacally, "Okay, well, since that's the case." Then I'll go! ”
With that, he ran towards the dark woods beside him.
"Reese!" Fat Turk shouted. Looking at his distant back, he stomped his feet anxiously, "Fei'er, what do you say about this!" ”
"Hmph, let him go! Leave him alone! Phyllis was obviously still a little angry, and Reese's yelling at her just now made her extremely aggrieved.
"Vivien, let's go find him, this forest is not safe at night, and if something happens, it will be troublesome." Fat Turk showed his importance as the core at the critical moment, and took Vivien and the two of them to search in the direction Reese ran just now.
"Wait, I'll go too." Dole stood up, feeling that he too had some responsibility, and wanted to help together.
Turk shook his head, "Forget it, now Reese hates you all over his head, and it's troublesome for you to go, so it's better to stay with Phyllis." ”
Vivien didn't speak, but it was clear from her eyes that she meant the same thing.
Dore had no choice but to sit back down and watch their footsteps fade into the darkness.
"Oh, Dole, I'm sorry, I don't know what the hell is going on with Reese." Phyllis said apologetically, "Originally, he wasn't like this. ”
Dole waved his hand, "It's okay, I don't care. Instead, I think it's a bit dangerous for you guys to be so reckless in the forest. Who the hell are you? ”
"Dor, please forgive me, we can't tell who you are for the time being, you will find out one day."
Seeing him say this, Dole had to stop asking this question for the time being, after all, it was not particularly important to him, he was just curious to ask.
"Reese, Reese! Where are you? ”
"Reese!"
Turke and Vivien searched the forest for a while, but no response came.
"Turk, do you think Reese still ignores us?" Miss asked.
Fat Turk thought for a while and said, "I can't rule out this possibility, but when he calms down, he will know that it is dangerous to stay alone in the forest, and he should call us at this time!" ”
Vivien nodded, agreeing.
The two of them continued to search through the dark forest, paying attention to every rustling sound among the trees.
Just when the two of them were about to give up, suddenly, in the darkness, there was a sharp cry.
"Ah!!h
"Not good!"
Dole and Phyllis stood up from the ground at the same time.
Turk and Vivien also looked behind them.
Oops!
A bad feeling rose in the hearts of the four of them at the same time!
Dole and Turk ran to the source of the sound at the same time, Phyllis and Vivien following closely behind them.
They soon came to a pile of bushes, the moonlight was obscured by the layers of barrier leaves, and it was dark and unclear, when Dole picked up a wooden stick from under him, took out a small bottle, poured out some graves from it, and rubbed some of them on the stick, and the stick burst into flames.
"Phosphorescent powder!" Turk recognized it as a refinement of volcanic rock, and the vial was probably worth as much as 1,000 copper horns.
"It happened suddenly, I can't care so much!" Dole said in a deep voice.
By the light of the sticks, the crowd looked among the dark bushes, but there was no Turk, only a few drops of bright red blood staining the leaves red.
"Where's Reese?"
Phyllis asked the question on everyone's mind, but no one could answer it.
They searched among the bushes for a while, but still found no trace of Reese, and a sense of anxiety spread over their bodies, and at this moment, Vivien exclaimed, "Ah! (To be continued......)
27. Departure.
