Chapter 23: The Bounty Hunter

All of us were drawn to the sudden appearance of the two robbers, who let the poor worm who had just been shot fall to the ground, groaning incessantly, but ignored him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

We saw a man and a woman riding a dragon bird slowly approaching us from the small sand dunes, and we could gradually see their appearances clearly: the man was in his early thirties, with a stubble beard, a rough appearance, a cigarette in his mouth, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a smile on his face, and a cynical look; the woman should be about twenty years old, with a ponytail on her head, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a delicate face, and two bullet belts crossed on her shoulders, the belts were filled with bullets of different colors, presumably bullets with magical properties。

Both wore white robes, brown boots, and cowboy hats. The woman walked some distance away from us and stopped, warily aiming her gun at the bandits. The cowboy hat stayed close to us, took his cigarette down his hand and said to me, "Yo, boy, we're the bounty hunters 'JJ', my name is Jack and her name is Jill. Because we have just been combined, seeing that you are young, and now in the special offer, the remuneration will be discounted, and we will help you settle this group of robbers with 10 gold coins, how about a good deal, right?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said helplessly: "Uncle, you are really good at business, the group of robbers just now also asked us, we really don't have so much money." Besides, we can handle them ourselves, so we won't bother you. ”

"Haha~ I see, that's a pity, but we can also take credit, how about it, think about it?" After seeing us wave his hand again and refuse, Jack took a puff of cigarette, shook his head and continued: "Let's watch the battle from the side, if you really can't stand it, just call us, we will naturally come to save you, but the credit will be calculated with interest!" Then he rode the dragon bird and turned away from us.

Link, who was beside me, said with a dissatisfied face: "Human beings really worship money, and if they don't help others when they see them in danger, we black goblins will definitely help our companions." ”

Neil hurriedly persuaded beside him: "People make a living from this, and besides, not everyone in human beings is like this, you must not generalize." ”

However, there seem to be people who are more dissatisfied than Link. "Dare to underestimate us!" a robber shouted and rushed out, slashing at Jack's back with a scimitar, but there was another "bang" of gunshot, and the guy also fell, only to see a small charred hole in his shoulder, presumably from the flame bullet shot by the cowgirl just now.

At this time, some people in the robber group began to try to sneak up on the cowgirl, and two people secretly picked up bows and arrows, but two more gunshots rang out, and the two fell to the ground.

The cowgirl was a very accurate marksman, and she was very experienced in her position, and then quickly unloaded the cartridge case, all in a matter of seconds. After reloading, she picked up her gun and aimed it at the bandits, and her marksmanship can be said to have completely suppressed them.

At this time, the leader of the bandit group saw that the situation was not good, and began to speak: "Hmph, seeing that these two people are quite powerful, even if these five imps are solved, these two people will still help." Forget it, it's a waste of time, it's not early, I don't want to do much, brothers, withdraw!" Emma said disdainfully next to her: "What a group of guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard!"

Jack began to turn around and beckoned to the cowgirl again: "Jill, come here, tie up these five people, and give them a little treatment and bring them back, and you can get a little bounty." ”

The cowgirl named Jill came and tied the five men with ropes, loaded the guns with five light blue bullets, and shot each of the wounded robbers in the wound, and the unthinkable happened, and their wounds began to heal gradually, and the man stopped moaning, and gradually sat up. The bullet just now is a so-called "healing bullet", I thought to myself.

Jack started to introduce himself again: "My name is Jack, that's my partner Jill, the first letter combination of the name is our "jj" combination, after saying that, he said to us with a hippie smile: "Well~ I'm in a good mood today, I'm too lazy to chase this group of robbers, just let them go! Although you didn't hire us, seeing that you are so young and unfamiliar here, I will take you to the nearest oasis for free as a tour guide!" Jill next to him didn't look very happy, sighed, and didn't speak.

The five of us discussed, nodded, introduced ourselves, rode the five wounded robbers' dragon birds (they were really obedient and very easy to ride), and followed the two bounty hunters to the southern oasis, behind us were the five hapless robbers who were stumbling and walking on the back of the Gil dragon bird's tail tied with ropes...

When I arrived at the oasis, Jack grabbed the reins of his dragon bird and stopped and said to me: "Chris, let's separate here, go forward to the first intersection and turn right to find a hotel, as for me and Jill, after handing over the robbers to the sheriff of the oasis in exchange for a bounty, go to the bar for a happy drink, haha~ You can also come if you are interested! Oh, by the way, remind you not to drink under the age of eighteen, it is not good for physical development, that's it, bye~" Jill nodded at us before leaving with Jack.

What a hearty uncle! We separated from the two men and found a hotel according to their instructions. The hotel is small, but the interior is very cozy, and the cost of accommodation is not high, we asked for three rooms (one for Neil and me, one for Anne and Emma, Link likes to be alone, and there is only one single room left, and the last one was given to him) for three gold coins and two silver coins.

"Whew, I've finally settled down, I hope there will be a hot shower in the hotel to wash, I'm sweating today. Emma stretched and said as we walked upstairs.

"It's best not to get your hopes up, the desert is not very rich in water, except for the Salo River, which flows from north to south from the Temple Kingdom to our Salem province into the sea, and the books say that once a week is considered good for people here, mainly for drinking. Neil poured cold water on Emma as he passed.

"Hmm~ Emma, let's write a letter and send it home when we enter the room, just say that the two of us have something to do with our seniors and go on a business trip to the province of Lapaz. How about sending it out tomorrow morning?" Anne still didn't want to worry her family, so she came up with this trick. Emma didn't squeak when she heard this, nodded silently, and said to herself, "Now we're bad girls." ”

I was speechless, alas, to blame us for involving them in this incident. If it weren't for the eldest brother to steal the Extreme Wind Dragonstone, no, if we hadn't subdued the first mutated demonic beast, the eldest brother wouldn't have been in the newspaper, he wouldn't have been noticed by Principal Ax, he wouldn't have gone to steal the Extreme Wind Dragonstone and disappeared, and we wouldn't have left home to find the eldest brother, let alone let them participate in such a hard trip, it's all fate!

We went into our rooms, and after washing, Neil began to look through his textbook (and he was still reading!), and I lay in bed thinking about the day: desert bandits, bounty hunters, oasis inns, this is a world we don't know...
