"Huh, huh, senior sister, we're finally catching up. Dora walked into the valley in a daze, following the guide Elard, and the first thing she saw was Catherine chatting with five strangers: "You guys are walking so fast that you can barely catch up." Huhu, these people are the rescue target, right, you cleaned up the poison gland fox?"

"We just watched the hilariousness. Catherine said, "I didn't have time to do anything." Before we arrived, a large group of wolves came, killed the venom gland fox and left. ”

"Hah, wolf, killed all the foxes, and then walked away?" Dora laughed dryly, "Sister, are you telling a bedtime story?"

"That's just the way it is. Catherine spread her hands and said to Pannis, "You see, I'll just say they can't accept it, but fortunately they all saw it, and they can prove that what I said is true." ”

"We did hear wolf howls all the way and were nervous for a long time. Dora said thoughtfully, "But the wolves killed the foxes and ignored the humans? ”

"Maybe they're picky eaters. Pannis whistled at Dora flirtatiously, "Come, Longleg Pervert, I'd like to introduce you, this is Gully Elmer, the leader of the Blue Coral Adventure Troupe, from Casa." ”

"Hey, it's you. Dora skillfully kicked Pannisy aside, and stood in front of Gully Elmer: "I know you, at the beginning of last year, when our mercenary group went to sea to explore Oris Island, it was your group that helped contact the navigators of the Sea Clan. ”

"You?" Gully Elder recalled for a moment, and suddenly said, "I remember, the Silver Lily Mercenary Regiment, one of the top ten mercenary regiments, and your leader is Emma." Hmm, what about you...... It must be the captain of the second team, the Rose Knight. ”

"I'm Dora. Dora gently shook Gulelmer's outstretched hand: "It's best if you can be safe, what are your plans to go deeper?"

"No, we were going to leave the forest. Gully Elmer shook his head and said, "We entered the forest three months ago, and we were expected to leave the forest twenty days ago, but due to a small problem on the way, it was delayed, and it was delayed until now after the start of the Monster Invasion season." Originally, I hadn't encountered too many dangers, and I had been safe, but I didn't expect to lose a teammate when I came to the edge of the forest. ”

"What happened at that time?" Catherine pulled Gully and asked "Poison Gland Fox will not take the initiative to attack more than three human professionals in most cases, especially Captain, you are still a gold-level strength, and it is even less likely that Poison Gland Fox will take the initiative to attack you?"

"Hey, don't talk about it yet, let's set up camp temporarily, it's dinner time. "Eat and talk, and continue your journey in the evening." ”

Temporary camping in the valley is actually a very simple thing, no need to clean up fallen leaves, no need for various facilities, because it is a temporary camp, you don't even need to set up a tent, you just need to clean up a clean field, light a bonfire in the center, and sprinkle a circle of insect repellent around the field. Although the members of Nelly's adventure group purchased a goblin insect repellent before departure, Catherine thought that she could save a little by using it less than once because of the crystal energy consumption of the insect repellent, and insisted on never using the insect repellent at unnecessary times, so everyone still used the original potion insect repellent method. However, most of the insect repellent methods are not effective, and they cannot repel flying insects, so they are often used together with the insect repellent array when they are officially camped.

The valley is not big, but the environment is nice, there are no fallen leaves, and there is a small stream flowing out of the rock crevice. The water of the stream has been tested by Vivien, and it is completely drinkable, and the shallow stream does not attract a large number of animals to drink here, so it is indeed the best place to camp.

In order to repay the rescue of a group of ten people, the members of Blue Coral took the initiative to hunt a few herbivorous magical beasts nearby, and after processing, they were grilled for a simple dinner. The design of the camp is also interesting, with the fire divided into three, and each team sits around their own fire, which is not far away from each other, but does not interfere with normal conversation.

The weather in late autumn is still quite cool, especially if you are sitting still. However, the warm flame dispels the coolness of the evening and adds a little life to the gloomy environment.

"It's getting dark. Lina looked up at the sky above the valley. The trees in the valley were extremely scarce, and the twilight could be clearly seen, and the dense forest outside the valley was already as dark as late night because of the presence of the canopy. The curious Lina kept thinking about the doubts in her heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Pennis, you haven't told me yet, why did we have to travel overnight?" ”

"Shhhh Pannis smiled mysteriously and continued to work on the prey on the fire: "I'll tell you later." ”

"Whatever you want. Lina didn't ask, leaning lazily against the rock behind her and staring at the dancing flames.

"When I was a kid, I listened to people read, well, I mean, I read some novels. Vivien still did nothing, and lay on the thick blanket beside the fire, and Catherine wrapped her in two layers. At this time, she was half-squinting, and said in a lazy voice that seemed to be asleep but not asleep: "When the heroes in the book camped in the wild, they hunted and roasted meat by themselves, and after reading the description in the book, I thought that kind of barbecue must be delicious." As a result, when I became an adventurer myself and actually baked my own food, I realized that it was not at all what I imagined. If you want to make the barbecue delicious, you need a lot of processes before grilling, otherwise it will be hard and tasteless, which is a pity. ”

"Hey, hey. Pannis winked at Vivien, lowered his voice, and said, "What the book says isn't necessarily wrong. ”

"Huh?" Vivien sat up wrapped in a blanket and whispered, "What do you mean?"

"There is a recipe for barbecue in an adventure. Pannis pointed to Vivien's backpack, "Get me a few things, the pollen, the leaves of the Ladia grass, the dead leaves, the salt of the bamboo leaves, and the bottle of the healing potion for me." ”

"It's all mess. Vivien was confused, although she handed over several materials to Pennis, and just wanted to ask something, but found that Lina's eyes were shining and she had come over, and couldn't wait to ask, "What, what are these for?"

"You guy. Catherine had been looking down to maintain the chain mail, and suddenly squinted at Lina: "It's a pity not to be a reporter at the Holy Capital Monthly, if you do, maybe you will be a great Mr. Paine again." ”

"Big sister, you're so annoying. Lina pursed her lips in protest, her eyes still staring at Pannis's every movement.

Pannis used his dagger to test the degree of the creature on the grill, and instead of touching the ingredients that Vivien had handed him, he took out a large handful of grass from his pocket that had obviously been picked for no more than a day, tore the grass into fine pieces, put it in a bowl and crushed it into a paste, and then carefully and evenly spread it on the surface of the roast. After that, Vivien's alchemy materials were sprinkled on it in turn, and finally evenly sprinkled with the lowest level of healing potions.

"Each of the three forests has several of the most common plants, which can be combined with different alchemical ingredients to make barbecue a worldly delicacy. However, the materials and proportions that the plants need to be matched are completely different from week to week, and if you get it wrong, it will have no effect or even the opposite effect, so almost no one knows about this method. Pannis smiled mysteriously again: "Today I used the secret of the feather people, don't look at them living in the mountains, but they are close to the Death Forest, and they are very greedy, and they like to eat barbecue." Well, wait another thirty minutes, and you're ready to eat. ”

Obviously, everyone's progress is about the same, and the cooking of the other two teams has also entered the final stage, and they are basically idle. Catherine put on the last part of the chain mail, adjusted it to the most comfortable position, and raised her voice and asked, "Mr. Gully Elmer, continue the conversation just now." ”

"Actually, I don't know. Gully Elmer said with a confused look on his face: "This thing is actually very strange. Looking back now, maybe those poisonous gland foxes have been chasing after us, because since ten days ago, we occasionally felt that something was snooping on us or even tracking us, but we looked back many times and didn't find each other. Later, this morning, we had planned not to camp in the morning, and walked outside to the outer edge of the forest to rest again, but we suddenly met the group of foxes halfway through. The foxes suddenly appeared and attacked us like crazy. Girolamo was too careless, he didn't open his magic shield in time, and the venom was sprayed on his face, and we didn't even have time to rescue, alas, I don't know how to explain it to his parents when I go back. ”

"It's kind of weird. Catherine touched her chin as she learned from Pannis's habitual movements, and thought, "Why are these foxes like this? Have you ever messed with them?"

"How could it be. Gully smiled bitterly and replied, "In the past few times I have entered the forest, I have never encountered a poisonous gland fox." ”

"That's weird. Catherine thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she asked hurriedly, "Did you encounter anything strange before that, that is, ten days ago, and did it have something to do with the fact that you were delayed for a while?"

"This ...... I don't know, but the reason for our delay started a month ago. Gully Elmer turned his brain desperately: "Our task is to hunt the twin horns of adult giant rock sheep, as you know, it is a kind of manufacturing material with a relatively high affinity for earth attribute magic, so the more the client asks, the better, pay according to the quantity, and for every twenty pairs, the unit price of all the horns will be increased by one level." Our result at that time was ninety-four pairs, and only six pairs were left to move up to the next unit price, so greedily planned to delay for a few more days and hunt six more. ”

"Soon after, we found a flock of sheep, about nine to ten. We excitedly chased the trail of the flock forward, who knew that they ran very fast, and actually crossed the territory of several high-level demonic beasts, and the result was more than ten days. ”

"Then we caught up, but the sheep were dead. The doubts on Gulelmer's face grew thicker and thicker, and even his voice became uncertain: "The place where they died is strange, in a canyon. There were a lot of animal bones in that canyon, thousands of bones, maybe some kind of herd beast feeding place. We happened to find the sheep near the entrance of the canyon, and the meat on their bodies had been gnawed away, but fortunately the horns were still there, and we were afraid of encountering those fierce beasts, so we didn't dare to go deeper, so we collected the horns and returned. ”

"Was it eaten by animals?" Pannis, guessing what Catherine was thinking of, asked for her, "Are you sure it wasn't flesh that was killed and cut by human means?"

"This ...... Probably not. Gully Elmer smiled reluctantly: "There are so many bones there, who can have such a big appetite." ”

"Maybe someone has a big appetite. Pannis and Catherine looked at each other and nodded slightly: "There are always some people in the world who have surprisingly big appetites. ”

Before he finished speaking, Pannisy suddenly burst out on the spot, and with a whoosh, the sharp arrow shot straight out of the valley, and everyone saw the short bow that appeared in Pannis's hand at some point. The arrow was fired, and Pannis threw the short bow and rushed forward, and at the same time, Catherine also turned into a silver streamer and rushed out of the valley after Pannis.
