Chapter 16: Reckless Provocation

After following Jupiter's caravan on his way, El received a bad horse to use as a means of transportation for the two girls, and he chose to march on foot. In the forest, even the best horses may not be able to keep up with his walking speed.

The other young men in the caravan were not friendly to El, and were even a little indifferent. The fact that Jupiter spared no expense to win him into the gang has quietly spread in private in the past few days, and has already aroused the dissatisfaction of some arrogant young people. Although they have all seen the hunted iron-maned boar, after all, they have not seen El shoot with their own eyes, and under the youth and vigor, it is inevitable that they will have some thoughts in their hearts.

As the saying goes, the same sex repels each other, and the opposite sex attracts, and Tika, who is also an outsider, unexpectedly received a warm welcome. For a few days, almost all the young men in the caravan circled around her. They come to talk with all kinds of lame excuses, and they know how to shout and ask for warmth, and those who are timid or stupid will only giggle after saying hello. All of their eyes glowed green like wild wolves, which made Erdu, who was walking next to him, feel furious.

The mood of the little maid is like the sunshine in spring, and the longing and adoring eyes of the teenagers make her regain a lot of self-confidence. In fact, objectively speaking, if you don't compare with Tiana, she can be regarded as a little beauty. The face is cute, the personality is lively and cheerful, coupled with the skills learned from working in the tavern, the charm between a smile and a smile makes the young animals red-faced and panicked.

"Hmph, what kind of man can't find an excellent girl like us? The man who wants to marry us can be on the other side of the mountain. ”

While sleeping at night, Tikara hid Tiana under the covers and said in a voice that Elle could hear. The three of them still shared a tent, and the girl's tone was a little smug and teasing.

"Maybe it's because the women in the caravan are only fat aunts who cook, and those guys are choked enough, and now they will think about it when they see a sow. ”

Ellen snorted, sympathizing with the teenagers of his age, and at the same time deeply despising the unsightly turtles. However, he also knew in his heart that he had seen Tiana's beautiful appearance when she was not injured, and now he would ignore Tika's beauty. In fact, although Tiana has been made up to look sick and disgusting, her natural temperament is much better than that of the little country maid.

The uninformed young man could not see that the old merchant Jupiter would never lose his eyes, so at that time he specially inquired about the girl's situation.

"Hey, hey, hey......" There was a chuckle and whispering from the girls, as if they were discussing which young man in the caravan was more handsome, but Tiana was also quite interested in talking about this kind of thing, which made El very unhappy. With the dark psychology of the beast peeing on the territory, he took a few deep inhales of the faint girl's body fragrance in the tent with malice.

This is the meat in Lao Tzu's mouth, whoever wants to snatch Lao Tzu will fight with him!

Hunters' instincts tend to be accurate.

When he got up in the morning to pack his luggage, George, the leader of the caravan mercenaries, came over with his horse. This young man was in his early twenties, the nephew of the previous mercenary commander. He looks quite handsome, and he is very good at dealing with people, and he is a recognized leader among the young generation.

"Tika, this is the fruit I picked in the woods, it's really sweet, would you like to taste it?" George just glanced at El, and then set his eyes on the little maid. He took a small bag from his horse, untied it to reveal a few bright red tomato-like fruits. It looks good, and it has a strange fruity aroma.

"Thank you, Brother George. Tika smiled and accepted the fruit, frowning slightly.

During previous trips, El repeatedly warned the two girls that most of the wild fruits growing in the forest were poisonous, and that with her ordinary physical fitness, it was easy to accumulate toxins and cause symptoms of poisoning if she ate too much. Even El's own could not identify all the plants in the forest, so he had to try them first to make sure there were no problems before giving them to them.

Over the course of a few days, Tika also learned a lot of useful knowledge about survival in the wild, such as the more beautiful and inviting things in the forest, the more likely they are to be deadly traps. The unknown fruit George found seemed to be fully ripe and made it tempting to take a bite. But it's still early summer, and according to El's experience, most of the edible fruits in the forest are just blooming, let alone ripe.

Holding the fruit in his hand, Tika looked at El with some hesitation and asked for his opinion with his eyes.

"It's called a lantern tomato, it's not a fruit, it's a spore plant...... Similar to mushrooms, it can be used to make wine and medicine. El glanced at it, he happened to know it, and he looked at George with some amusement: "Have you eaten this thing?"

"Is there any problem?" said George, a little impatiently, "I see that the monkeys in the trees are also eating, and it must be a fruit that can be eaten." ”

"That's it, Brother George has traveled from south to north and seen the world. ”

At this time, several young people who were idle around also gathered around, looking at El in a mocking tone and defiant eyes.

El shook his head and swallowed back what he was about to say. Since he is a person who has seen the world, he must have been mentally prepared for the consequences of eating indiscriminately. If you talk too much, it may affect people's mood when they have stomach trouble.

"Put it away, this thing might be useful to Tiana, I'll go find Mr. Jupiter first. ”

El didn't bother to pay attention to these guys who had nothing to do, and according to George, there were long-tailed macaques in the vicinity, and only such monkeys would consciously cultivate "lantern tomatoes". For unknown reasons, there has been a large-scale migration of wild species in the forest, including iron-maned wild boars and long-tailed macaques, and many of the beasts' areas of life have changed.

This is not good news, as the trade routes opened up by the merchants generally avoided the habitat of dangerous beasts, and the large-scale migration of wild beasts meant a change in habitat. In other words, the road may not be safe right now.

"Our boss is not something you can see if you want to, what's the matter, just say no to Big George?" Kevin, who was holding his arms, grinned and blocked the way, showing off the muscles in his arms, intentionally or unintentionally. This guy is a typical Creek people, not very old, his muscles are exercised and angular, and he is usually a brave and fierce thorn in the caravan.

"Let your people do the work. El ignored him, turned to George, and said, "I was a business friend with Mr. Jupiter until I agreed to his offer, and if he saw that you were harassing guests, he would not have spared you." ”

El was too lazy to do anything, but was taken as a sign of weakness by George, he smiled and waved his hand, making Kevin back away, and his face involuntarily carried a trace of pride and disdain.

"If there is anything, you tell me the same, there is no need to trouble the boss. He said.

"If I say that there will be large carnivorous beasts on the road ahead, do you have the right to order the caravan to be rerouted, or do you have the ability to fight all the way through?" El asked with a sneer.

George's face instantly became very exciting, in fact, although he was the recognized leader among the young people, it was still the remaining old people around Jupiter who were in charge of the caravan. If you want to talk about strength......

"It's at least a third-level warrior, and if it's just a few blind beasts, it's not something to be afraid of. ”

"Level three, what level is level three?" El turned his head to look at Tiana behind him in confusion, and the girl with excellent knowledge and combat experience also looked dazed.

"Does Level 3 mean the Silver Realm?" Tiana blinked, looking at George with a playful look and a slight shake at El.

"Wait a minute, it's not the one you said...... I seem to be a little impressed. El patted his head and looked confused.

In the past, when I listened to the old man's story, the adventurers would always introduce each other when they met, such as I am a xx-level warrior and my father is xx, or I am a xx-level magician and my family is xx...... At that time, when he was still young, El always wondered, what was this level?

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Those villagers are uneducated, and he can't understand how powerful the protagonist of this story is." Therefore, it is necessary to describe it vividly, for example, those who can kill chickens and rabbits are first-class, those who have the strength to cut down trees and iron are second-level, and those who dare to carry a kitchen knife to cut people when their brains are hot are third-level...... When you say that, they can understand, and there is a sense of substitution. ”

El nodded, finally understanding why the old man's story was so popular with the villagers. Of course, at that time, he didn't know how advanced the old man's ideas were, and maybe thousands of years later, some websites and forums that run Xiaobai will worship him as an ancestor.

After saying this, the old man thought for a while, and then taught Er Dao earnestly: "Now there are indeed some grading systems in this world, such as the Magician Association's Ancient Demon Script Level 4 and 6 Exam...... But that's all, and if you go out in the future, you must not believe these nonsense. ”

"But...... Why?" El was puzzled.

"Stupid!" the old man struck him hard, "Can a sheep of a hundred levels beat a lion of the first level? There are only two levels in this world - those who stand on the top eat meat, and those who lie down below eat!"

El really didn't know what George, a third-level warrior, meant, meant, but his confused expression succeeded in angering the young people who gathered around.

"Hey, you guy, be respectful to Big George!" Kevin angrily slapped El's shoulder.

El also looked at the stunned young man who dared to attack him in confusion, was his deterrent not enough? Or did he not notice the wild boar he dragged over yesterday?

El was thinking too much, or rather too calm and sane due to his ability to perceive runes. In his plan, he dragged a half-ton wild boar over the mountains to this place, which was a kind of power deterrent, as long as a little sane adult would not easily provoke him.

Unfortunately, however, he is now facing a group of hot-blooded young people with excess hormones.
