Do people have a crush on strangers for no reason? The answer is yes, but there are specific premises, such as being good-looking.

As a face-looking species, humans always have a good impression of their good-looking kind, especially the opposite sex.

But Xu Shuo didn't think that he belonged to this situation, in the twenty-two years of his life before his sudden death, the number of times he was accosted by girls was zero, and he himself felt that he looked very ordinary, and he was once said to be gloomy.

But after coming to another world, there are two women in a row who inexplicably have a crush on him, which is really a bit abnormal.

(Did Angela do something...... ）

Xu Shuo really wanted to find a mirror to look at himself again at this moment, but unfortunately there was no such thing in the wild.

**

After following Rudolph around the stone forest on the outskirts of the camp, Xu Shuo and the others returned to the hunters' gathering point, and everyone began to eat lunch.

Xu Shuo opened the burlap bag that Mei gave him, which contained two large pieces of dry bread, a leather bag of water, and two small bags of black, somewhat oily unidentified pieces of meat, the heaviest of which was water, and the weight of the water in the entire burlap bag accounted for half.

Barton sniffled and looked at Xu Shuo's bag.

"Smoked Chicken Knock." Spoonton said.

"What?" Xu Shuo lifted the bag of black slices of meat, "You mean, this is chicken?" ”

"It's worthy of the food bought for two silver coins, and there is actually a Gudong chicken to eat, which is really enviable." Barton swallowed.

Xu Shuo looked at the black meat slice in his hand, then at the greedy Patton, and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" Divide some of you. ”

"You're welcome, then."

As if waiting for this sentence, Barton couldn't wait to reach for Xu Shuo's meat bag, took out a piece of bacon from it, stuffed it into his mouth, and then made a "mmmm~" sound with a look of enjoyment.

Xu Shuo took the opportunity to observe Barton with the eyes of love, and the latter's favorability of himself rose from "1" to "5".

(That's a good deal, this guy...... No, is it the meat to blame? ）

Xu Shuo looked at the other hunters and asked, "What about you, do you want to come some?" ”

It seems that the taste of this meat is really good, except for Rudolph's polite refusal, the rest of the people did not hide their desire to accept Xu Shuo's favor.

When Xu Shuo checked everyone's favorability again, there was no negative number, the lowest value was "1", and everyone's favorability value towards him increased, even Rudolph, who didn't eat him, was moved by Xu Shuo's generosity, and the favorability value also rose a little, from "3" to "4".

I have to feel that human beings are really simple creatures, and a small bribe can get favor.

Xu Shuo tore out two slices of bread from his dry bread, sandwiched the bacon in it, and pinched and took a bite like a hamburger.

This bacon tastes really good, it tastes like a sausage, but it's very soft, but it's a pity that the bread is too dry and chews a little sticky.

Xu Shuo ate two homemade hamburgers with water, during which he was ridiculed by Barton as "worthy of being a young master, you can eat dry bread and smoked chicken", Barton seems to have decided in his heart that Xu Shuo is the young master of a rich family.

In the afternoon, Adam went hunting again with his family and steward, and in the morning they returned in vain, and in the afternoon they were going to go further afield.

The sun was very strong, and the hunters were resting in the shadow of a large tree, and the surroundings were very calm, and everyone looked lazy.

Except for Rudolph.

Xu Shuo noticed that Rudolph had been standing up and looking around from time to time, and his expression was very serious, as if he was wary of something.

"Brother Rudolph, what's the problem?" Xu Shuo asked.

Rudolph shook his head, but his expression was hesitant.

After a while, Rudolph had an idea, he stood up and said to Xu Shuo and Barton, "Xu Shuo, Barton, you two will come with me to check the situation around again." ”

Barton leaned against the tree and snoozed, and when he heard Rudolph's words, he said reluctantly: "Oh, boss, don't worry, there are so many of us, those stinky monkeys dare not approach, and the prickly wolf is nocturnal, it's okay." ”

"Just in case......" Rudolph was about to say something, but Barton rolled over and closed his eyes.

Rudolph looked a little angry, Xu Shuo thought that maybe he could earn some favorability, so he stood up and said: "Forget it, Brother Rudolph, Barton may be tired, let him rest, and have enough strength to deal with emergencies, I'll just go with you." ”

Rudolph hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to sell Xu Shuo face, and said, "Let's go." ”

Rudolph walked in front, Xu Shuo followed, and the two walked in the stone forest.

Instead of just patrolling around the camp as before, this time Rudolph seemed to have other plans, and he headed straight in one direction, deeper into the woods.

Xu Shuo walked behind Rudolph for a while, and when he turned back, there was no trace of the camp in sight.

"That...... Big brother, will we go too far? Xu Shuo asked.

Rudolph stopped, Xu Shuo thought that Rudolph heard his words and was about to turn back, but Rudolph raised his head and stared straight up.

"Look at that." Rudolph held out a finger.

Xu Shuo looked down and found that there was a tree with several broken branches at the top, and it was very obvious that it was not naturally broken, because the incision at the fracture was very smooth, which was caused by some kind of weapon.

Before Xu Shuo could ask what this meant, Rudolph made a new discovery.

"There's still one over there." Rudolph said as he ran deeper into the woods.

Soon a new mark was discovered, and something had scraped a wrist-sized hole in the trunk of a tree.

Rudolph didn't look closely at the traces, but walked briskly through the woods.

More and more traces of the fight were discovered, one after another, and even Xu Shuo began to feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Soon Rudolph found a half-man-high pile of rubble, he fell on the ground, began to pick up the gravel, and after digging for a while, he said to Xu Shuo: "You also come to help dig this up." ”

"Oh, good."

Although Xu Shuo didn't know why, he did it anyway, because Rudolph seemed nervous.

After Xu Shuo helped pick it up for a while, he began to smell a faint foul smell, and then after he pushed away a stone the size of a head, he finally discovered the source of the smell - the corpse.

Not a human corpse, but a wolf's corpse.

Rudolph grabbed one of the wolf's legs and pulled it out of the rocks, and underneath the wolf's corpse was a large pit, and more corpses leaked out, both wolf and a meter-tall monkey carcass of an ugly appearance.

The strong stench made Xu Shuo retreat again and again, but Rudolph began to fiddle with the wolf corpse with a nonchalant look.

"This prickly wolf, fur, ears, every part of the body is still there...... Why? Rudolph began to mumble to himself.

"Any questions?" Xu Shuo pinched his nose and asked.

"It's weird." Rudolph said.

"What's weird?" Xu Shuo asked.

"Newcomer, listen well, the hair of the thorny wolf is valuable, and generally if we bounty hunters or adventurers kill the thorny wolf, they will shave off its hair and keep it. If it receives a crusade mission, it will cut off its two ears and give it to the guild as proof of the success of the crusade. But this prickly wolf is intact, so it's weird. Rudolph said.

Xu Shuo thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the person who killed it was too troublesome, so he didn't care about it?" ”

"Troublesome? Isn't it more troublesome to cut off this guy's ear than to bury it in a pile of rocks? Rudolph asked rhetorically.

Xu Shuo thought about it, if the other party was really a lazy person, why bother making so much effort to make a stone pile to bury these demonic beasts, and just throw them on the ground.

"The number of corpses, as well as the traces of a wide range of battles, it seems that there is a large group that has hunted demonic beasts here recently, and the number is estimated to be less than ten people......" Rudolph frowned and thought hard, "Our Bounty Hunter Guild has not organized such a large crusade recently, could it be those guys from the Adventurer Guild, but if it is them, there is no reason not to take the loot." ”

"Huh?" Xu Shuo suddenly thought: "If they don't want it, then let's take it away, right?" These things are valuable, right? ”

Rudolph sighed, raised his head and looked at Xu Shuo seriously and said, "Newcomer, be a little more sensitive, we bounty hunters are a profession that licks blood from the knife edge, and any abnormality may kill us." Now there is a group of guys who are hunting monsters here, but they don't take their loot, why do you think that? ”

Xu Shuo thought about it seriously and said, "It means that they don't care about this little money?" ”

"Not only that, but have you found any traces of these battles that spread around our camp?" Rudolph's eyes were like torches.

"You're saying that someone cleared the field here, and ......," an answer called out in Xu Shuo's heart, "and it happened to be a few days before the Wink family came to hunt." ”

"What does this mean?" Rudolph asked.

"Someone doesn't want Adam Wink's hunt to go so smoothly." Xu Shuo said: "But ...... Why? Is this any good? ”

"I'm thinking about it too, but it's probably only the person who did it himself." Rudolph said.

At this time, Xu Shuo heard a piercing whistling sound, followed by a loud bang, as if something had exploded, Xu Shuo raised his head, and he saw a red fog floating in the sky in the distance.

"What's that?" Xu Shuo asked, pointing to the red mist.

Rudolph narrowed his eyes: "That's a magic fog bomb, different people use it to convey different messages, but red usually represents danger, I think we'd better go back quickly, something may have happened." ”
