Chapter 103: The Dagmar Fruit
"Hey, this friend, are you adventuring alone in the Dark Forest?" the swordsman said softly when he was still some distance away from Han Shuo.
Han Shuo had already discovered these six people, and the little skeleton had also been put away again, not wanting to reveal his identity as a necromancer, at this time, he raised his head when he heard the sound, nodded towards the swordsman and said, "Not bad." ”
The sky roared with the cross-kneeled Harpy, and when she saw that these six adventurers were in harmony with Han Shuo, she didn't dare to continue to test Han Shuo's patience, and flew a little higher, observing the movement in the sky.
The six adventurers are a combination of three battles, two methods and one archer, the archer is a female elf, and among the three male warriors, there is a senior swordsman and two intermediate swordsmen, a male intermediate magician and a female senior magician.
The last time Han Shuo participated in the test organized by the academy, he already knew some of the levels and symbols of the Magic Guild and the Swordsman Guild.
According to the level of strength, the magician will tattoo a beautiful miniature magic wand on the shoulder of the magic robe, starting from the junior mage to have a magic wand pattern, and each higher level can add an additional magic wand. Swordsmen and knights are divided in a similar way, except that swordsmen use swords to make patterns, and knights use war horses to distinguish them.
These adventurer swordsmen and magicians seemed to have been approved by the Magic Guild and the Swordsman Guild, so the clothes they wore all had symbols symbolizing their strength, and Han Shuo could easily see how strong they were at a glance.
The strength of the six people is not weak, but if you go deeper into the dark forest, it seems a little weak, and it is no wonder why the Harpy dared to follow them all the time after discovering that it was six people. If there were magisters among them who could fly, the harpy would not dare to follow them for a chance as far as she could run.
"My name is Odyssey, and they're all my companions. Just now I think you also saw the Harpy's movements, and I'm sorry to tell you that this Harpy is targeting us, but he found you walking alone, so he shifted the target to you.
The Harpy Banshee is a third-level demonic beast, and it is really difficult to deal with being able to fly in the sky, if you don't mind, you can go with us, if the seven of us are together, the Harpy should not dare to come down and make trouble. "Senior Swordsman Odyssey said with a sincere look at Han Shuo.
Shaking his head, Han Shuo refused with a smile and said, "No, I see that you seem to want to go further into the Dark Forest, but I want to return to the periphery, we are not on the same road, so I still won't trouble you." ”
"How can that work, if you walk alone, the harpy will definitely not let you go. I think you should stay with us, or you'll be in great danger and may even lose your last name for it!" Afra, the female senior magician, snorted.
As soon as Afra said this, several other people also spoke out to persuade Han Shuo, but Han Shuo did not agree to leave with them. Although the strength of these six people is not weak, only the archer's arrows can cause some trouble to the harpy, and the harpy flying in the air, once the swordsmen fly through the sky, they will not be able to threaten her at all, and the magic may not be able to work because of the distance.
However, Han Shuo, who had the Demon Slaying Blade and the Strong Crossbow, plus the Little Skeleton Bone Knife Bone Thorn, could also fly out, if the Harpy Banshee didn't know each other and dared to come and attack, what was waiting for her was likely to be a painful blow from Han Shuo and the Little Skeleton. Therefore, Han Shuo was not afraid of the Harpy, so he refused the invitation of the six adventurers and chose to go on the road alone.
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, but I don't think it's that easy for the Harpy to eat me. After Han Shuo replied with a smile, he grabbed the two grilled fish, ignored the six young adventurers, and walked alone in the direction they had come.
Watching Han Shuo leave calmly, the six young adventurers were stunned, and one of them, the high-level swordsman Odyssey, said, "Let's follow from a distance, if he really has a way to deal with the Harpy, we will choose to leave, otherwise we will help him, lest he be unfortunately eaten by the Harpy." ”
"Captain, this person has already rejected us, is it still necessary for us to do this?" said the mid-level swordsman Gordon with some reluctance.
"The Harpy was originally targeting us, and because we were coming in this direction, we caused trouble to others, and I think we should take that responsibility. Odyssey gave Gordon a lesson, and then ordered the men to follow him, hanging far behind Han Shuo.
After walking for five minutes, the Harpy Banshee, who was circling and following Han Shuo, finally made another move. Flying directly from the sky, and just as he was about to fall above Han Shuo's head, he suddenly roared into the sky again, provoking Han Shuo very patiently.
It's just that Han Shuo is more patient than her, and it looks like his hands are empty-handed, in fact, the Demon Slayer is ready to fly out of the air at any time, and the strong crossbow in the spatial ring has also been prepared, as long as that harpy dare to really get close to a suitable distance, Han Shuo doesn't mind taking down this third-level demonic beast with one blow.
Regarding the tracking of the six adventurers in the distance, Han Shuo saw it clearly, and Han Shuo didn't pay much attention to their kindness, and still walked slowly in the direction of the death cemetery unhurriedly.
After a series of temptations, the harpy finally couldn't bear it anymore, and once again flew directly towards Han Shuo, her sharp claws bent and quickly approached Han Shuo's skull.
A foul smell came to his nostrils and instantly spread to Han Shuo's body, and ordinary people would feel dizzy for a short time when they were smoked by this stench. However, Han Shuo, who had tempered himself and didn't know how much toughness, was not affected by this at all, but he still shook his body pretended to follow the eagle banshee's intentions, as if he would fall to the ground if he was not careful.
"Well, he's been smoked by the stench of the harpy's body, it's dangerous, we should save him now!" the high-level magician Afra suddenly exclaimed, and then the six adventurers no longer cared about hiding their bodies, and had already stepped out of the bushes behind, and the archers were even more scrambling to set up their bows and shoot the harpy.
At this moment, the Harpy, who had never dared to really fall, seemed to think that she had found a suitable opportunity. The eagle body, which had been seven or eight meters above the ground, shot at Han Shuo like lightning, and a pair of iron claws grabbed straight at Han Shuo's skull, as if they wanted to crack Han Shuo's skull.
A cold smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, Han Shuo's body shook a little more, and when the harpy iron claws had already landed on his skull, Han Shuo's body stiffened, and he fell straight down extremely quickly. As a result, a claw that had been grabbing Han Shuo's skull landed on the air.
Just as the harpy banshee let out a strange roar and tried to move again, the demon killing blade mixed with red light suddenly broke through the air, carrying a fierce and scorching surging force, and the sound of the harpy body was poured into the harpy body.
With a terrible low roar, the harpy flapped her wings and staggered to try to get off the ground quickly, and at this moment, the strong crossbow had already been held in Han Shuo's hand, aiming at the slender neck of this harpy and shooting out fiercely.
The eagle body banshee that bloomed red from her body, screamed in pain, and her body couldn't stabilize at all at this time, and she didn't care that the more deadly attack was approaching, and the crossbow arrow pierced through her neck strongly, carrying her body upside down, and her neck maintained a posture of leaning back to the sky, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Oh my God, he shot the Harpy!" Andrew, a swordsman who came quickly from a distance, suddenly found that the Harpy's huge body had fallen to the ground, and he couldn't help but exclaim, looking a little incredulous.
Several other adventurers, who were either chanting magic spells or planning to shoot arrows, also stopped their movements, and looked at the harpy banshee fluttering with weak wings in the distance, their expressions were all surprised.
Under Han Shuo's mind, after the Demon Killing Blade submerged into the body of the Harpy, he incinerated the Harpy's inner body with the Demon Yan of the "Xuan Ice Demon Flame Battle", and no smoke appeared, but the Harpy Banshee's body quickly turned into a scorched paste, and the strong smell even spread far away.
Standing up and slapping the dust off her body, Han Shuo walked up to the already completely dead Harpy Banshee, held his breath and summoned the Demon Slaying Blade, peeling off the third-level Demon Beast Crystal Nucleus from her body, and then cutting off her two iron claws and putting them into the spatial ring.
In fact, the third-level demonic beasts were not so easy to deal with, otherwise those six adventurers would not have such a headache. The Harpy has always relied on the stench of her body and the advantage of crossing her knees in the air to be invincible.
It's a pity that in the face of Han Shuo this time, her two advantages couldn't be used at all, and in the end, they became the target of Han Shuo's use, plus the Demon Slaying Edge was extremely sharp, and she could shuttle with Han Shuo's mind, which caused her to die so quickly and tragically.
"Hey, friend, you're really powerful, it seems that our worries are really unnecessary. The Odyssey in the distance finally walked in front of Han Shuo and smiled at Han Shuo.
Although these people didn't help much, their conversation and practices were clear to Han Shuo through the Yuan Demon, and he felt that a few people were still very good. Now that Captain Odyssey said this, Han Shuo smiled and nodded, "Actually, I'm just a fluke, my real strength is not even as good as yours alone." ”
"Hehe, you're too modest. Odyssey obviously didn't believe what Han Shuo said, and replied politely.
"Captain, now that he is no longer in danger, I think we should continue to the depths of the southern part of the Dark Forest in search of the 'Dagmar Fruit'. Gordon came from a distance and urged Han Shuo to speak.
"Hey, I really don't know if the 'Dagmar Fruit' we are looking for exists, I have never heard of a fruit that looks like a human brain!" said High Magician Afra with a sigh.
Han Shuo, who was about to say goodbye to them, didn't immediately plan to leave when he heard Afra say this, but looked at Afra with some confusion and asked, "What is this 'Dagma Fruit', how can it have the shape of a human brain, it's really incredible, can you tell me about it?"
"I've listened to Odyssey, our captain, about the Dagmar Fruit, and he's a little bit clearer. Afra smiled at Han Shuo in a friendly manner, and pointed to Odyssey and said.
Odyssey smiled and said, "Are you also interested in the 'Dagmar Fruit'? Hehe, the legend has it that Dagmar is a demon who likes to eat people's brains, and the place where he is buried after his death may give birth to a strange fruit, this fruit is the size of a fist, showing a dark brown texture, very similar to a human head.
It is said that the 'Dagma Fruit' has magical powers, and normal people will become crazy when they eat it, but I heard that the 'Dagma Fruit' can be used to prepare very precious medicines after being ground by a pharmacist, so this time I accepted the commission of someone else to try my luck in the Dark Forest to see if I could find the 'Dagma Fruit'. ”
After the odyssey finished speaking, Han Shuo's heart was suddenly pleasantly surprised, in the memory left by Chu Canglan, he said that there was a fruit called "Holy Brain Fruit", this fruit has a violent expansion effect on the human brain, which can make an ordinary person become a madman, but if a demon cultivator who is in the stage of "soul shaping" like Han Shuo, after eating this "Holy Brain Fruit", he can greatly improve his cultivation with the help of the effect of magic skills.
Originally, Han Shuo didn't think about this aspect at all, because Han Shuo thought that it should be impossible for the "Holy Brain Fruit" to exist in this world, but now the Odyssey's description of the "Dagma Fruit" is exactly the same as the shape of the "Holy Brain Fruit".
A fruit that could greatly improve Han Shuo's current realm could be obtained, this kind of temptation Han Shuo couldn't resist at all, Han Shuo didn't think too much about it at all, and after the odyssey finished explaining, he directly asked, "If you don't mind, I want to go with you to find this 'Dagma Fruit'?"
As soon as Han Shuo said this, the six adventurers of the Odyssey ignored it, and they all felt very surprised, they never thought that Han Shuo would suddenly have such a proposal.
