After completing half of the mission, Barrett and the 'Dirty Novel' group continue their journey in this misty forest.

The barbarian adventurers were still at the forefront, searching for frost bugs. Strictly speaking, this is not a difficult thing to do. Frost insects are creatures that naturally emit cold air, and they are easily recognizable by their clear tracks and hoarfrost. And because it's long and large, it doesn't make a small noise when it squirms against the ground, so you don't have to worry about missing it.

It's just that the misty forest is active and wide, and each frost insect also has its own range of activities, and there is almost no intersection with each other, so when you find the first one, if you want to find the second one, what you need is more of a little luck in the dark.

"The people of the griffon kingdom often say that 'when you learn to walk, you won't be far from running.'" Old Will's voice came from behind him, accompanied by the sound of inhaling from his pipe, "Now that we're off to a good start, we should be close to completing our mission." ”

"If you really complete the task too quickly, it will feel a little regrettable. The half-elf followed Barritt, "Honestly, I love this forest. Although it is not as peaceful and beautiful as 'Roselorin', it has a unique charm that will attract people. ”

Barrett understands the half-elf's thoughts. It's a forest that really captivates people, otherwise there wouldn't be so many adventurers going deep into it (and losing their lives) every year.

The Misty Forest is like the kind of woman with a "deadly" (double meaning) attraction, with countless magical materials and various harvests on its surface being its seductive breasts, and strange and eerie surroundings being the mystery between its legs.

You can't know what will emerge from the fog in the next second, whether it's the "gold coin" that dances and kisses you, or the "knife and fork" waiting for you to become a dinner party.

"She" is too wild, if you want to understand "her" in depth and try the sweetness of "her", you must have strength, enough strength!

"The more dangerous things are, the more fascinating they are. Old Will commented with his pipe in his mouth.

Even as Barrett walked ahead, he could smell the smoke mixed with the mist with a hint of minty coolness and berry sweetness. Old Will smoked his own perfumed tobacco, and according to the mage himself, he added dozens of ingredients to his tobacco. Anyway, he didn't find anything yet, so he tried to distinguish the mixed ingredients in Old Will's tobacco through his keen senses.

Mint, chamomile, lavender, but also lemon balm, rose, sage, cherry...... There should even be a little spill of wine during the drying process. Barrett doesn't smoke, so he can't tell the difference between good and bad tobacco, but with the sheer variety of ingredients, the price of such tobacco is not too low.

Coupled with the fact that Old Will smokes more often than drinking water, it seems that even a mage of the 'poor' level has a very staggering daily expenses.

Barrett rubbed her nose, satisfied with her perception. With his left hand, he touched the bust in the lining of his leather armor, which gave him 2 perceptions, according to the strange words.

If the observation power can also be quantified, the barbarian adventurer does not know how much his original perception is, nor does he know whether the increase of 2 points is more or less. However, through his usual activities such as searching for traces and observing the surrounding environment, he found that the improvement of these two points is actually obvious compared with before.

If the statue was a special magical ornament, such a change would not be unusual, but it was not. This inevitably gave Barrett a deeper understanding of the role of those strange words.

It's strange that those words can identify the origin of objects, and even dig up their unique functions. What's even more peculiar, of course, is why did they appear in front of his eyes? Is there anyone else who has had the same experience as him?

Barrett was puzzled by this.

When the first frost worm was sent away, the strange text actually jumped out uncontrollably once, but that time it didn't show much, only a short sentence.

【Task Log】

[Silent Guide: The 'Dirty Fiction' Adventure Team needs you to travel with them to the Misty Forest and help them capture 2 adult frostworms alive.] Adult frostworms caught alive: 1/2]

1/2, it's easy to understand, catch one more frost worm and you'll be able to complete the quest called 'The Silent Guide'. Barrett didn't know why the mission would have such a strange name, and he was obviously not silent along the way, although he didn't talk as much as Old Will, but it was still eloquent.

It seems that what those strange words show is not always true, he smitted in his heart.

The team was still moving forward, and Barrett looked at the hot sky, the battle of the first frostworm was over sooner than expected, so it was still a little time before night, and they could continue their journey while looking for a place to camp.

A flock of fist-sized gray-black ants climbed up and down a fir tree not far away, a venom lizard lay in the bush on the right, and this dangerous little creature would not attack anyone unless it was provoked, and two blue-green birds like parrots stood in the branches and leaves diagonally above......

Barrett scrutinized his surroundings, the world in the fog was more colorful, and he had to discern what could be ignored and what needed to be alerted to his companions.

Suddenly, the barbarian stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to stop. He stood still, squinting at the mist and looking into the distance, "Looks like we're going to have to take a long detour." He said to Old Will behind him.

"What's the matter?" the mage stepped forward, his tone a little confused, "I didn't notice anything around but the fir tree, which was more common than the goblins, and the toad-like boulder!

Barrett followed Old Will's gaze, "No, it's just an ordinary stone, Lord Mage. "He'd found out a long time ago, but he didn't care. As soon as Old Will said it, he really thought that the shape of the stone was quite like a huge stony toad squatting on the ground.

"Even if it does resemble a toad, that doesn't give it any power. Barrett said to Old Will, "As for the reason for the detour, we will find out a little further on. ”

He forgot that Old Will and the others didn't have as good vision as him, and he couldn't see the scene in the fog from this distance. But the dwarf should be able to see it.

Barrett glanced up at the little man sitting on the ogre's shoulder, and saw that the latter was still playing with the dagger, his face expressionless and invisible.

The brute retracted his gaze and led the group onward, and after a distance of about twenty meters, everyone saw the thing that made Barrett want to take a detour.
