Sunlight shone in through the gap left in the hole, and El opened his eyes and sat up. The faint sound of breathing coming from {starter}, the heart-warming faint body fragrance, made him quickly recall everything last night.

The two girls were wrapped in bearskin cushions and pressed against each other, Tika holding Tiana's body so that her injuries would not touch the hard stone wall. Tiana's cloak was torn into rags during the fight, and she had to change into Tika's old clothes. Because of the petite body, the neckline is too large, and half of the white jade-like fragrant shoulders are faintly exposed.

El forced himself to turn his head, only to feel some dry hair in his mouth. He opened the water bladder and took a few sips of cold water, trying to hide the heat emanating from his body.

Standing up lightly, El glanced around, pulled out a worn but sturdy travel backpack from his side, and quickly put it away.

This is El's own secret stronghold, where he holds all his savings over the years. For an experienced hunter, the wealth in the deep mountains and old forests can be said to be inexhaustible, but just like that high-grade bear skin, there are some things that cannot be sold in the city of Queensland controlled by the greedy and miserly viscount.

The heads of the other great hunters in the nearby villages were not so bright, and many of the good things they brought back were coaxed by the lord to become his own private collection at a very low price.

A few years ago, he had befriended a reputable armed caravan on a large road leading to Xilinshire in the southern part of the forest. The bald fat man who looked like a profiteer in the leader of the team was actually a kind man with a pretty good personality. After a few transactions, he saved a lot of money.

He skillfully dug out a deerskin sewn pocket from a small hole in the corner of the stone wall, and although it was only the size of two fists, it was full of shiny gold coins and even a few low-grade gems the size of fingernails.

El nodded, a satisfied smile on his lips. Although he now has a lady worth 10,000 gold by his side, it is more reassuring to belong to these real gold.

In fact, when he grew up, the object of his longing was no longer the bad old man of his adoptive father, but the aristocratic lords with status in the city.

As the saying goes, a man's ambition is only as big as his wallet. El now feels that he has these confidences, at least he should get out of the country turtle grade.

I heard that in the county, the most remote and low-level territories like mountain villages are sold at a clear price. Although his money is certainly not enough now, as a big hunter, El is never short of patience.

There are a lot of messy debris in the cave, and the real value is the flying feather velociraptor that El's unexpected harvest when he hunted bears a few days ago.

In the 300-mile radius of mountains and forests he knew, the Velociraptor was one of the terrifying beasts at the top of the food chain. This ancient wurm is small in size compared to its counterparts, but it is agile, fierce and cruel, and a social creature, and is a bully that runs rampant in the forest.

The Feathered Velociraptor is an evolved form of a velociraptor that grows colored feathers on its limbs, moves faster, and runs like a gust of wind. Legend has it that this velociraptor was as strong as a large wurm of the same rank, and its brutal and bloodthirsty nature attracted the attention of a certain god, so it was given a special gift.

The hapless guy in El's hand may have been too reckless to break into the territory where the bears live. With its strength, even a full-grown Violent Bear can be defeated, and its speed can easily shake off all enemies. Unfortunately, that day he stepped into the trap that Elle had prepared for the bear hunt.

Originally, with the agility of this velociraptor , as long as it was given a little time, it could get out of trouble, but El, who was hiding on the side, didn't dare to approach at all, and with his little strength, it used to deliver food.

One of the more tragic things happened, when the unlucky boy kicked over the bait in the trap - a bucket full of honey - while struggling. The honey, which had only been half open to the lid, was knocked over to the ground, and the strong sweet aroma instantly dispersed, attracting all the bears around.

Seventeen adult bears attracted by the bait beat up the velociraptor trapped in the trap. The wailing of the beast continued for two hours.

By the time El had passed, the velociraptor had turned into a dead dog, and even the bear could not bite its scaly skin, but the claws of the rock-splitting bear shattered the bones of its body.

But from a certain point of view, this also shows that the skin is definitely a valuable good! El, who had heard of this rare creature in the story of the old bard, naturally did not let go of the opportunity to let go of the black hand.

In addition to the outer skin, the magical feathers, teeth, and claws would be bought at a high price by mages or other eccentrics in the big cities. Velociraptor meat can strengthen the body, and it is said to have the miraculous effect of invigorating blood and tonifying the kidneys, which is the gospel of middle-aged men, not to mention the great tonic below...... This guy is almost all over the treasure!

The velociraptor was five meters long, and it scrapped three boning knives just by dismantling it. Throw away the broken bones and leave a few hundred pounds. In the current cave, a large part of the space is occupied by these fragments. After a long struggle, El picked out some of the most valuable ones to stuff into his travel bag, and tossed aside the largest number of dragon jerky.

El picked up a strip of jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it hard. It's a pity to throw this thing away, but you can't eat too much at a time, especially someone like him who still has a heart, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

A hot sensation spread from the stomach, and the blood in the body gradually began to heat up. In this way, a finger-sized piece of dried meat can maintain energy for the whole morning.

Behind him came the sound of Suoso, and El turned around to see Tika sitting up with his eyes rubbed, looking around blankly, still a little confused.

The fur that covered her body shook off as she got up, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin. It was early summer, the clothes on the little maid's body were already thin, and the fur was easy to produce dry heat, and when she woke up, her clothes were already half-taken off and half-disassembled, and even her underwear was soaked with fragrant sweat, revealing the curves of her still green body.

Tiana also opened her eyes, the girl habitually remained vigilant, quickly glanced around, and after noticing El's gaze, she couldn't help but subconsciously shrink her head, blushing and wrapping her body tightly in the fur cushion.

This is the difference between a village girl and a lady, El sighed in his heart, turned his back and continued to pack his things.

When he had packed his belongings and the girls had changed their clothes, El took his bow and axe from the wall and pushed away the stone that blocked the entrance to the cave, and the warm sunlight poured in.

He took a deep breath and stretched hard, his muscles tensing and the bones in his body crunched.

From here, you can see the turquoise mountains and the vast forests stretching endlessly.

Tiana leaned against the stone wall and slowly walked to his side, closing her eyes and enjoying the sun.

After eating some food last night, the girl's physical strength recovered quickly, but the injuries on her hands and face did not heal. The damage inflicted by the Elemental Torrent is not just a scorch, but also a destructive magical elemental damage. The herbs El picks can help her heal her wounds, but they inevitably leave scars.

It is the nature of every woman to love beauty, even girls who are pessimistic about life and death. After recovering from a good amount of sleep, the first thing she did was conjure up a light mirror and carefully examine the injuries on her face.

The cheeks protected by the bandage felt a little itchy, and when I lifted the herbs a little, I could see that the wound had scabbed, and the red scabs crawled on the face like ugly and twisted bugs, looking hideous and terrifying.

"I thought I had nothing to lose, so I was ready to fight to the death. ”

Tiana smiled self-deprecatingly, biting her lip, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Although I am alive now, I really have nothing...... But that's fine, at least Mr. El, you won't be deceived by beauty and behave irrationally like this. ”

"What do you mean to be confused by beauty!" El turned his head in embarrassment and weakness, "You feel too good about yourself, aren't you?" ”

"Isn't it?" Tiana stared at El's expression and unconsciously raised her voice.

"Mr. El, you already know I'm a wanted criminal, why did you save me? Have you ever thought about how much trouble you're going to get? Isn't Tika innocent? I really have nothing now, oh yes, my body is at least clean, you want ......?"

A loud but forceful slap blocked back what the girl wanted to say. Tiana covered her face and lowered her head, tears silently streaming from her fingers.

El knew that this was just a momentary loss of control of the girl's emotions, but he didn't want to hear such words from her. He walked over, hugged the girl, and patted her on the head. This is a trick he has been trying and tested to comfort Tika, but he really hasn't learned anything like this, but fortunately, the effect is still outstanding.

"The forces of the Cursed Sect have single-handedly covered the sky, and I had no intention of leaving Queensland alive. The plague has swept through the Northlands, and whether it is east or west, it is now a deserted land for thousands of miles. ”

Tiana buried her head in El's chest and whispered a low sob.

She did not mention the south, as the location of Queensland City was at the southernmost point of the northern counties, and the Cloud Mountains that ran through the kingdom divided the territory in two. With the exception of the King's Road, which was opened thousands of years ago, any southern city must be covered by hundreds of kilometers of high mountains and dense forests. Even for a formed army, it is an insurmountable barrier.

"I've already prepared for the worst anyway, so it doesn't matter if I take any more risks. ”

El whispered softly in the girl's ear, "Trust me, come with me to the south." ”

Tiana's body shuddered, and a flush quickly rose from her ears.

The screeching noise of the horse spoon striking the pan destroyed the ambiguous emotions that had just brewed between the two. El clutched his head in pain, and for the first time in his heart began to regret his soft-hearted decision.

Tiana, who was almost caught in the psychological defense line, instantly sobered up and calmed down, broke free from El's embrace without a trace, and took a few steps back in silence.

"Eat! eat!" Vinegared Tika used the pan for El's head, eager to knock it in half. She glared at El with a puffed out of her face, snorted through her nose, and turned to walk into the cave.

El was speechless, and had to look up to the sky and sigh, this is completely self-inflicted.
