Chapter 26: Big Cute Things, Little Cute Things
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, be obedient, your master will be back soon!"
"Oops—"
"Hmph...... Your master doesn't want you anymore, cry and cry~"
"Goobo!"
Old Chasy Tavern, Lou Weiwei's room on the second floor, the door was closed at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What are you doing?"
Fei Jin stood outside the door, could clearly hear the noise coming from inside, and knocked on the door suspiciously.
"I'm back. ”
There was an instant silence in the room.
Then, I heard a "boom" of footsteps, and the little guy kept "cooing" non-stop.
Lu Weiwei opened the door, her hair was a little messy, her veil had fallen off, and her pretty face was flushed. The hairballs were lying on top of her head, one big and one small, all teary-eyed.
Fei Jin: "......"
As if she had seen a savior, the girl pointed pitifully to the hairball on her head.
Fei Jin's heart softened with his shy and helpless expression, and he suddenly wanted to pinch the little girl's face, but this idea was instantly suppressed.
"Ah, you hurt your back?"
Fei Jin was stunned, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he didn't show any abnormality, how could he see this?
"Nothing, minor injury. ”
He didn't care, the wound was painful at first, but now it has eased a lot.
During the conversation, Lu Weiwei glanced at the ghoul hat twice, mainly to see the ghoul's cute pattern.
Fei Jin noticed it and took off his hat: "Are you looking at this?"
can be seen in the bright light, Lu Weiwei came closer, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said enviously: "It's so beautiful!"
"You should say Moe. Fei Jin corrected.
"Moe, what do you mean?"
The girl opened her round eyes, fully interpreting what it means to be cute. If you hold a furball in your arms and put on a ghoul hat, it's a collection of cute things.
"I like it? ”
Fei Jinman didn't care about Dao, anyway, the inferior quality was not much use in battle, and besides, he also had a good impression of this little girl.
Holding the ghoul hat shyly, Lu Weiwei smiled happily, but the next moment she looked like she wanted to say something, rummaged through her pockets, and took out her wallet to pay.
"Ha, it's not necessary, it's worthless. Fei Jin naturally won't accept it.
“...... Huh?"
The girl wanted to say something, but Fei Jin intercepted her and said, "It's so late, let's rest." ”
After saying that, exit the door and not give her a chance to persevere.
......
The next day, Fei Jin slept for a while and set off at six o'clock.
The furball was entrusted to Lu Weiwei, and the little one refused at first, but was soon bought by the food.
With experience, Fei Jin made some preparations in advance this time. On the way there, he bought a five-meter-long rope made of what seemed to be rubber, which was very elastic and strong.
Then I found a small armor shop and bought an iron helmet and more than 300 gold coins, a very ordinary kind, mainly used to protect the lower head, in case I encountered a backstabbing beast for the second time, or a demon of the same type.
At the south gate, the soldiers standing guard changed, and when they saw someone coming, they swept away their boring and casual looks, and said in surprise: "...... Are you the adventurer who went to the monster cave yesterday?"
The barracks of the city defense army are not large, and this extremely topical incident has been spread all over the city as early as last night.
Fei Jin nodded and showed the bounty list according to the process.
"Hey, you're bold enough ......."
After being released, the soldiers were still sighing to themselves. He didn't expect to come again today, is he really not afraid of death?
In fact, with the strength of ordinary soldiers, it is easy to kill one or two Fallen Demons, but it is different to change the background to a monster cave.
It's not a question of whether you can beat it or not, but as you go deeper, you'll encounter all kinds of unknown dangers, and it's likely that you'll die without even seeing the shadow of the fallen demon.
Over the city wall, Fei Jin still walked the route once.
Because the edge of the monster cave is a vast and barren land, there is no landmark, so when he set off yesterday, in order not to get lost when he came back, he would leave a mark every few tens of meters, that is, dig a small hole the size of a thumb in the ground, and then mark an "X", which is easy to identify.
This also greatly improved the efficiency of today's progress, and now he is still 8 points of magic away from the mission goal, and if he is lucky, he can complete it in two days, and if he is unlucky, he can't say for sure.
......
At noon, Fei Jin stopped and rested for a while. He's just taken a spin around and noticed that the marker was broken, meaning he came to yesterday's spawn spot.
It's just that the situation is a little different today, and nearby, there is not a single demon in sight. Fei Jin was puzzled, and looked at it from afar several times, but there was no trace.
Fortunately, on the way here, he killed a fallen dog, and the body was tied to one end of the rope. The harvest was not bad, and a small bottle of healing potions was brushed out.
After resting, there was still no demon in sight, so Fei Jin had no choice but to continue to move forward and start making new markers along the road.
After walking for another half hour, the demon did not find it, but found four or five white skeletons, most likely human, most of them deep in the dirt, as if they had been dead for a long time.
Fei Jin couldn't help frowning, only to feel a chill running through his back. Human bones, he had seen in the first half of the journey, but they were very rare, and he saw two or three in one day yesterday.
The fact that it has occurred so frequently now is already telling, and the predecessors are warning future generations with their lives that the danger of this place is much higher than in the previous half.
“......”
Fei Jin twisted his eyebrows, his face slowly sank, and his dark eyes seemed to freeze.
Eventually, he decided to return.
He knows very well what he is capable of, and if he goes any further, he will not be very rational. With so many people dying here, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he was better than them.
All afternoon, Fei Jin wandered in the first half, he didn't know why, the chance of seeing a demon today was extremely low. It's like yesterday, you can pick and kill yourself.
At dusk, after the tragic death of the previous ghoul, two more dumb skeleton soldiers unfortunately bumped into him.
"Oh, two!"
Fei Jin raised the corners of his mouth, and his depressed mood was slightly relieved.
The battle ended in three or two, although it was still some time before dark, and he didn't plan to look for the next prey, the ghost knew when to find it, so he simply tied up the skeleton and packed up his things and went back to the city.
On the way, Fei Jin calculated today's harvest.
It can only be described as bleak.
The magic he cared about the most was only added a little, and the money was okay, and it was even a little surprising to him.
One Fallen Hound, one Ghoul, and two Skeleton Soldiers, if exchanged for a bounty, is exactly 300 Sen gold.
However, these three types of demons all have life fire in their brains, and 4 parts of life fire can be added to 200.
Regarding the life fire, Fei Jin plans to find some more comprehensive books or materials to read. Otherwise, it is not even clear which demons are there and which are not.
In addition, there is also the knowledge of demons, which he also wants to know more about. For example, if you can know some relevant information in advance, you won't be so bottomless when you hand it over.
Thinking about it, two words suddenly popped up in Fei Jin's mind: Nine Styles.
Before, because he had no money, this idea has been suppressed in his heart, and now although his assets are not much, about 2000 sen gold coins, but compared to the price of Ice Heart Ore, he can still try it.
However, the current priority is to upgrade.
