By the time they returned to the hunter's hut, the sky had darkened.

The bonfire in front of the door was still burning, and the three wounded were sitting around the fire to keep warm, and they all had a look of surprise on their faces when they saw that everyone had successfully returned with Gray.

"Grey!"

"It's really good that you're okay!"

The three boys struggled to their feet and moved closer to their companions.

"Oslo, Stiller and Arnell, let's go back after dawn, it's too dangerous...... I don't want to take any more risks."

Grey took the fountain of youth, barely supported by her female classmate Messia, and she said with a nervous expression.

"yes, I don't want to be here anymore...... And when we returned, we filled a bottle of Ageless Water, and Grey recovered most of her injuries after taking a sip, and it did seem to be real...... That's enough for each of us to drink."

Messia took out the bottle of spring water and said to her companions.

The three boys looked surprised, staring at the bottle of water with burning eyes, then at Grey, and whispering to her how they felt about drinking it.

After some exchanges, they basically confirmed the authenticity of the spring water, and turned to look at Chen Lun...... Listening to what Messia and Grey said, this gentleman filled several barrels, and they couldn't help but exude envy and longing.

Oslo fetched a wooden bowl, and eagerly asked for the spring water from Messia, and poured a bowl to drink.

Suddenly, he felt a chill penetrate from his throat to his body, and then spread to all his limbs, and after exclaiming, he lifted his clothes, and the claw wounds on his chest and abdomen healed most of them, and the others couldn't help but marvel when they saw this.

"It's true! Really...... This spring has magical powers!"

The rest of the people also poured a bowl and drank it, feeling the power of the spring water for themselves.

"Am I immortal? We...... And so you have eternal life?"

Stiller, the exploding head, blushed and excited.

"Don't dream, the so-called 'fountain of immortality' will only allow you to live for a few more years at most, and it is impossible to live forever at all......

Lutina walked to the stake by the campfire and sat down, placed her double-barreled shotgun casually on her lap, and sneered at the jubilant group of students.

She doesn't seem to be unfamiliar with the so-called "spring of immortality" at all, and she has no interest in taking a second look.

Hearing her words, several students will be skeptical.

Although Lutina has always given everyone the impression that she is very familiar with the Great Forest of Coleridge, and has experienced a series of events just now, she is even more prestigious...... But when it comes to the Fountain of Youth, they instinctively dismiss her view.

"Miss Lutina, didn't you say that there are many mysterious places in the Great Forest of Coleridge, and even you don't know about them...... And you haven't drunk this fountain of youth, so how do you know that it can't live forever?"

Oslo retorted.

Lutina was not in the mood to argue with him, shrugged her shoulders and said:

"Heh, since you think you're immortal, right?"

Several students raised their eyebrows and couldn't help but mumble a few words.

They were a little disgusted by Lutina's self-righteousness, but after all, they had saved Grey's life, and they couldn't say anything to their faces.

At this time, Oslo suggested that they go to the Fountain of Youth, and they had a drink, but it was not a bad thing to drink more to be on the safe side...... Moreover, the extra can also be sold to wealthy people in big cities, who will definitely be interested in this "divine water" that prolongs life and heals diseases.

The opportunity to make a fortune is in front of you, how can you just go home empty-handed?

"You're right, Oslo...... We sell this spring water for 10 gold pounds a cup, and someone will buy it, right?"

Stiller's eyes lit up as he rubbed his hands together and said.

"Look at your appearance...... Even if someone buys a hundred gold pounds, believe it or not?"

Oslo scoffed.

Grey and Messia glanced at the dark forest, still apprehensive, but hindered by the enthusiasm of their companions

and a genuine desire for money...... They didn't say no.

It's just that Messia hesitated and persuaded:

"Why don't you wait until tomorrow morning, it's already dark......

"Didn't you hear Miss Lutina? Maybe the spring will disappear on its own...... There are all kinds of strange things in this Coleridge Forest, and if it is fulfilled, where shall we go to find such a treasure again?"

Oslo egged.

"Without further ado, we'll go over now, and we'll be back as soon as we're done fetching water...... Besides, haven't you already driven those rat people away? It's going to be fine!"

Lutina heard the conversation of several people, shook her head and said:

"Your greed and ignorance almost made that girl a rat bride...... I'm still thinking about going to the forest, and if I get into any more trouble, I won't do it."

A few of the boys looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and Oslo raised his tone:

"It's okay, I won't trouble you again this time, we'll be careful ourselves."

"Please."

Lutina said lightly.

She took out the dry food and put it by the fire to roast it.

Several students looked at each other, eager to take a step, but then they heard footsteps from the woods. Everyone hurriedly looked vigilantly into the darkness, for fear that there would be some monsters.

However, it was the three peaked cap men who had left earlier who gradually entered the range of the firelight.

They were covered in blood at the moment, and they were still carrying a sack with five flowers in their hands, and the sack kept wriggling, and from it came suppressed wails and hums...... It seems that someone is inside.

"Gentlemen, ...... of you?"

Oslo's face changed slightly, and he asked slowly after taking a step back.

"Hehe, we seem to have heard something interesting......

The man at the head threw the sack in his hand, and a muffled snort came from inside.

He glanced up at everyone present and said with a smile:

"You found treasure in the forest? Aren't you going to get our piece of the pie?"

"Sir, if you also want the 'Fountain of Youth,' then of course no problem...... We can't take that much with us anyway."

Oslo squeezed out a smile.

"We're planning to go over...... Come along."

The man in the cap at the head restrained his smile, took out the flintlock musket from his waist, and pointed it at Oslo's head.

"Naive little boy, do you think that spring water is worth a lot of money if you take it out too much? It's like a banned drug on the black market, if it's not in short supply, how can it be sold so expensive!"

"Don't ...... Don't shoot!"

Oslo was startled, and hurriedly raised his hands and shouted.

"We can work together! If you agree on the quantity of each shipment in advance, you will be able to guarantee the price!"

"It's a college student who is studying in the college, and his mind is really useful......

The man in the cap said lightly.

At this time, the two people behind him suddenly drew their guns and pointed them at everyone.

Grey screamed in terror, and the others panicked.

However, they soon discover that the two guns were actually pointed at Lutina behind the group.

"Miss Guide, don't act rashly...... You only have one gun, and we have three, do you want to bet on who will die first?"

The man at the head sneered.

Lutina confronted the trio with a double-barreled shotgun, her face calm and silent.

"Your proposal is great, but I'd rather trust my own people...... Therefore all the springs that you find are ours."

The man said to Oslo again.

His gaze scanned each one aggressively, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"It's really good luck that this trip not only found the guy who swallowed our goods, but also such a windfall...... Ivo, Roche, there are four women here, pick one of you, don't play to death, you still need it

Let them lead the way...... As for the other men, kill them all."

"Hey, hey, okay boss!"

The other two men in caps looked cruel and excited, raised their guns directly, and aimed them at everyone.

The faces of the five students and the couple changed suddenly, and their faces changed with horror.

"Ahh

The girl screamed.

At the same time, the two men had already pulled the trigger.

Bang bang!!

Gunshots rang out, blood burst out.

The two men fell down in response, and a blood hole appeared in each of their eyebrows.

Everyone froze in place, seeing this scene and not knowing what was happening.

They quickly noticed the devilish expression on the face of the man in the cap who was in charge, so they turned their heads to follow each other's gaze and found that the black-hatted young man in the group, who had been silent, was holding a golden flintlock rifle...... It is the [Connie No. 2] limited edition livery that Chen Lun casually took out of the Blood Poetry Ring!

It was he who shot it!

But......

And where did his gun come from?!

The two schoolgirls and the couple quickly remembered that the gentleman had been at the Fountain of Youth, and that the gun had probably been conjured up in this way......

Who the hell is he?!

Magician?!

"Enough trouble?"

Chen Lun said lightly.

He had just wanted to rub off on the team of travel agencies and find an opportunity to figure out the route to the Augusta Mountains, but he didn't expect so many things to happen along the way...... If it weren't for the fact that these three gangsters were frantically preparing to carry out massacres and ***, he would not have bothered to do it.

"Bastard! you!"

The man in the cap led by him was a ruthless character who licked blood from the knife edge, and even if two brothers died now, he was not afraid to raise his gun and shoot at Chen Lun.

Boom!

Fireworks erupted from the muzzle of his gun, and bullets flew out of the chamber with a clatter.

Directly hit Chen Lun's head!

However, Chen Lun just closed his left eye, and the bullet collided with his eyelid, creating a dazzling spark and making a dang sound.

「？！」

The man in the cap was shocked.

"What's going on? Not...... Not dead?! I hit it!"

Chen Lun carried the flintlock rifle in one hand, and directly raised the gun and pulled the trigger at him.

Boom!

It is impossible for the man in the cap to follow Chen Lun's example and use the flesh mortal fetus to catch the bullet, this shot directly penetrated his eyebrows, his brain and blood splashed, and he died after he fell and could not die again.

Everyone was in constant panic, they stared at Chen Lun uncertainly, and retreated vigilantly.

Although they didn't see the picture of Chen Lun blocking the bullet with his eyelids just now, they could be sure that this black-hatted young man was definitely not simple, and people would always be vigilant and afraid of strange and unknown things.

Chen Lun didn't care what these people thought.

He walked to the bodies of the three men with his flintlock rifle in his hand, and with a blank face he picked at their caps...... I saw that the heads of the three people were covered with snail shells the size of ping-pong balls!

With the death of the "host", the snail shells squirmed, and the soft tentacles were pulled out of the brains of the three men and retracted back into the snail shells. They stood up and tried to flee in all directions, but they were trampled by Chen Lun and turned into a puddle of mud.

"It's a 'hermitage,...... In fact, it was a fungus in the Great Coleridge Forest, and the snail shell was nothing more than the remains of the original host. Even if these three men leave this forest alive, it won't be long before they know it, and they will die before they know it, becoming puppets of this fungus."

Lutina also walked over and said when she saw the snails.

"Hermitage? Interesting creatures ......"

Chen Lun calmly commented.

He turned his head to look at the panicked crowd, then back to Lutina.

"Since they decided to return after dawn, then I won't continue

I'm with you...... Tell me the route of the Augusta Mountains, and I'll go there myself."

Lutina gave him a deep look, then nodded.

"No problem."

She took out a page of paper from her backpack, filled it with handwriting, and handed it to Chen Lun.

"These are the do's and don'ts, and the key signs...... You just have to follow what I wrote, and it will only take about five days to get out of this forest area."

"Thank you."

Chen Lun put the paper away and thanked him.

At this moment, there was a sudden squeak and dense footsteps in the forest.

The faces of everyone present changed.

"What's approaching?!"

"That's a lot!"

Rutina frowned, and she ran to the hunter's hut with her double-barreled shotgun.

"It's gunshots! The gunfire has caught the attention of the Tamara Rzumi, and they have come for revenge! Come with me, everyone, there is an underground secret room in the cabin, let's go and hide in it for the night!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

In a panic, the crowd followed Lutina into the cabin.

Grey, who was running at the end, suddenly noticed that the young man in the black hat with glasses and the cow were standing still, and she hesitated to stop and asked:

"First...... Mr? Aren't you coming in? Those rat-people are dangerous......

The people hiding inside the door also looked back, and Lutina looked inquiring.

Chen Lun stood in place, shook his head slightly, and just said softly:

"It's time for me to go."

The girl Grey gritted her teeth and turned to walk into the cabin, while Lutina took one last look at the black-hatted young man's back and closed the door of the cabin.

Boom!

Everyone got into the secret door under the bed one after another, and they didn't dare to come out, and sat obediently in the dim basement, except for each other's breathing, they could only faintly hear the chaotic sound of ping-pong overhead.

"They're rushing in!"

"Shhhhhh

「……」

"We're not going to be discovered......

"No, absolutely not."

After a small exchange, there was another dead silence.

After experiencing tension and fear, the crowd fell asleep in extreme weariness.

I don't know how long it has been.

Lutina woke everyone up, then opened the secret door in the basement and returned to the hunter's hut. It was already dark outside, and at dawn there was a strange chirping of birds in the woods.

Everyone looked at the messy scene and felt dull.

"The rat-men should be gone, right?"

Oslo asked in a low voice.

But no one answered him.

The door to the hunter's hut was broken by rats last night, shattering into three pieces and falling to the ground.

Everyone walked out of the door, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp.

I saw a dense pile of rat-man corpses, piled up on the outside of the hunter's hut, numbering hundreds or thousands...... The dried blood was black-brown and smelly.

"This ......"

Oslo's throat was dry and he couldn't speak.

The girl, Grey, trembled her hands and whispered:

"Could it be that gentleman who did it?"

"How...... How is that possible?"

Stiller swallowed his saliva and said as he stared at the corpses on the ground with wide eyes.

"Unless...... He's not human!"

Everyone's eyes were full of shock, but they inexplicably believed the words of the exploding boy.

Yes......

How could such a thing be done unless that gentleman was not human.

Only Lutina smiled in a corner where no one noticed.

"Divine Favor......
