Chapter 217: Into the Forest (6 this month)

On the same day, the three of Gray arrived in a small town near the Night Forest.

After resting for the night, spending some money, and depositing the carriage in the tavern of the town, the three of them bought a lot of things they could get from camping, stuffed them into the rune space bag, and walked towards the night forest.

The benefits of the Rune Space Bag are undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and it is indeed a must-have for home travel.

The Night Forest, worthy of the name of Night, is a forest in which the light is extremely dim, and the canopy of towering trees blooming like giant umbrellas is overhead.

The three of them walked in it, as if they were walking under the rainy clouds, extremely gloomy and depressing.

However, the three of them are not ordinary people, so they will naturally not be affected by the environmental atmosphere, and according to the signs on the map, the three of them go straight to the depths.

Along the way, many seemingly ferocious beasts fell under their sharp blades.

In the process, I also encountered some mercenaries on the outskirts of the forest.

They hunted wild beasts for a profit from the sale of their furs.

Of course, there will occasionally be mercenaries who make cameo appearances as robbers, rob and kill other mercenaries, and turn the gains of other mercenaries into their own.

However, this kind of thing did not happen to the three Grays, and seeing what the three Gray were wearing, these mercenaries did not come up to provoke them at all.

As a mercenary, eyesight is indispensable, and the clothes on the three Gray are obviously worth a lot of money, how can these people not see that the three of Gray are not easy to mess with.

The three Gray didn't bother to pay attention to it, and ran straight towards their destination, leaving behind the corpses of the beasts along the way.

"Huh?"

As he walked forward, Gray jerked back and quickly lunged in the direction he had come.

Like him, Sophia and Theresa do the same.

Dozens of meters out, in their sight, five people in leather armor appeared in front of them.

Among them are middle-aged men, but also young people.

Seeing the three Gray who suddenly rushed over, the faces of the five of them changed greatly, their faces suddenly turned white, and they subconsciously retreated sharply.

Sou!

Like thunder, Gray flashed out and appeared behind the five.

The sword in his hand rested on the neck of a middle-aged man at the back.

"No, don't kill us......"

The middle-aged man's body trembled, and his tone was terrified.

"Say, why are you stalking us!"

The three Gray looked at the five with unkind eyes.

The three of these five Gray had met, and half an hour earlier, they had met these five people in the night forest.

At that time, they didn't care, thinking that they were just ordinary mercenaries, but they didn't expect the five of them to follow them quietly.

The vegetation of the night forest was too lush, and the five of them had been in the forest for a long time and had a lot of experience, but they didn't notice it at the first time.

"For ...... In order to...... Fur ......"

"Fur?"

The three of them raised their eyebrows slightly, understanding the purpose of the five mercenaries.

It was thought that the five mercenaries saw that although the three of them had killed the beast, they had abandoned the beast's fur and had the idea of picking up the leak, so they followed the three of them all the way.

"It's really asking for money and not dying."

Theresa shook her head playfully.

Knowing that the three of them are not easy to mess with, they dare to follow all the way, which is a typical example of asking for money and not wanting to die.

If it were other short-tempered ones, the five would have been killed without even having a chance to explain.

"Let's go."

Ignoring the five of them, Gray and the three of them left.

They thought that this trip to the ruins was targeted by the forces with a heart, and since it was just five ordinary mercenaries, they didn't bother to pay attention to it.

As for the five people's thoughts of picking up leaks, they are even more lazy to care.

Money is a good thing, and you have to spend it with life.

The three of Gray walked away, and the five people who were pale with fright just now looked at each other, and it was a long time before they were humane.

"Captain, do you want to ...... Keep up? ”

As the captain of the five, it was a middle-aged man with a hesitant face, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Follow."

In just half an hour, they had already harvested no less than ten furs, which was almost the same as the harvest they had previously worked for for a few days.

If they can continue to follow, after this time, the money they earn may be worth their harvest in the past month.

He really didn't want to give up such an opportunity.

And he could also see that the other three didn't care about their leaks.

The five of them followed Gray and the others from afar, all the way deep into the night forest, and after a few hours, they had already penetrated deep into the night forest.

The five of them were all burdened with fur that had been stripped off, and the amount of fur was comparable to the amount they had taken more than a month, and all the beasts that were killed were killed in one blow, and the furs were extremely intact, and if they were sold, they would probably be worth a few months' worth of gains.

The three of them had a look of joy on their faces, and if they went back this time, they would definitely be able to make a lot of money, but there was some uneasiness in their hearts, and they felt that this depth was too deep.

"Captain, now that you have gone deep into the night forest, if you continue to go deeper, I am afraid that you will encounter a blood beast ......"

One of the young mercenaries worried.

"Half an hour longer."

The middle-aged captain gritted his teeth and was eventually occupied by greed.

In half an hour, they had gained a lot again, and they already vaguely felt that something was wrong, the frequency of the beast was too high, just as they were about to retreat.

"Look, that's, that'......"

A behemoth with a body length of nearly three meters in front of him fell quietly in a pool of blood, and there was no sound.

"It's a blood beast, it's a blood beast!"

The faces of the five people became ecstatic, their eyes were full of surprise, and they ran over without hesitation.

He took out the kettle to collect the blood, laboriously peeling the too strong fur of the blood beast.

"Rich, rich!"

The five of them had a look of extreme excitement on their faces.

As long as these blood beast blood and this blood beast fur are sold, they will be able to get rich immediately, and they will no longer have to be dangerous mercenaries in the future, spend some money to get a shop, become a small businessman, and be comfortable for the rest of their lives.

Whew—

At this moment, a roaring sound sounded, and the five of them looked up in horror, and saw a tiger-type blood beast appear.

Burst!

Before the five of them could react, one of them had already been bitten off by the tiger-type blood beast, and blood was splattering like a fountain from the severed neck of the head.

The remaining four people screamed in horror and fled in panic, and the two young men even had a smell of urine coming out of their bodies.

However, in the face of a blood beast, it was so difficult to escape, and in just a moment, their panic and screams had stopped.

"My life is gone, what's the use of asking for money?"

Hearing the frightened and desperate cries behind them, the three Gray were naturally able to guess what was happening behind them, but the three of them had no intention of returning to help, but walked straight forward.

They rescued the villagers, it was because the other party suffered an unwarranted disaster, and as for the five mercenaries, it was self-inflicted.

A few hours later, as it grew dark, the three Gray stopped, pitched their tents, and lit a bonfire.

Make dinner before it gets dark, or wait until it's night, and the bonfire will easily attract wild beasts.

The dinner of the three of them was barbecue, and the flesh and blood of the Thunder Eagle that had been processed in the town yesterday were baked, and it was Theresa who did it, don't look at the other party's beard, but the barbecue skill is quite powerful.

After dinner, the three were assigned a vigil.

"The old rule is to take turns keeping vigils, and one person keeps watch for four hours."

Gray is in charge of the first half of the night, Theresa is in the middle of the night, and Sophia is in charge of the morning time.

At night, the purple moon in the sky sprinkled wisps of purple moonlight, but it could not penetrate into the night forest, and the night forest was dark, but it was not as calm as imagined.

Every now and then, there will be a roar of the beast, which is a nocturnal animal hunting and being hunted.

Gray, dressed in a thick coat, sat on a bluestone near the tent.

In his hand, there was a simple rune lamp, but it was not turned on.

Next to him, there was an hourglass, and when the scale in the hourglass dropped by four scales, he could wake Teresa and change shifts with him.

"Hey, it's hard!"

The wait was long, and after waiting for a long time, I looked at the hourglass, only to find that it was only less than two scales past, and it was not an ordinary difficulty.

"At this time, the benefits of corpse control ability are revealed."

Gray couldn't help but think of replacing the vigil with the corpse control ability.

Although Gray is no longer able to control the four Blood Beasts due to the distance, he can disconnect from one Blood Beast and regain control of the others.

But for the two of them, he still has some vigilance, so he is unwilling to expose his ability to control corpses, even if it is to make the other party think that he has a magic weapon that can control corpses.

Otherwise, you can use the corpse control ability to replace the three-person vigil.

Tell me about it!

Suddenly, the sound of leaves being squeezed apart sounded, and Gray looked over, even at night, his infrared perception allowed him to clearly see approaching creatures.

"An ordinary leopard?"

In the infrared perception, the silhouette of a leopard appeared in front of his eyes, judging by its size, it should be an ordinary leopard.

Sou!

Gray, who was sitting on the stone slab one moment, pounced the next moment and appeared next to the leopard in the blink of an eye.

"Whew-"

Click!

The sound of bones being broken sounded, and the unlucky leopard, before he could make a sound, had already broken his neck bone by Gray.

He didn't use a sword, as it would make a bloody smell and attract more predators.

Dragging the leopard back, Gray left the leopard's carcass in the camp for tomorrow's breakfast.

After sitting back on the stone slab and continuing the vigil, Gray woke up Theresa and got into his tent.

A wave of fatigue hit, and he fell asleep in a daze.

But in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a loud movement.

Whew—

With a roar that seemed to be close at hand, he jerked, rolled over, leaped up, and rushed out of the tent, looking out.

Teresa was confronted with a huge blood beast with a body length of more than four meters.

Silver Frost Knight said

This month's reward is more than 600 (the starting point, the knight can only see the starting point), a total of six chapters need to be added, this is the sixth chapter, and the reward plus more is complete.

Uh, if you want to see the reward record, you can go to the group and ask me.
