Chapter 40: How dare you be sure?
Not good.
There are only three burrowers.
Now.
One was killed by Aithea, and the blind old Jack set his sights on another.
If you don't hurry up, you won't have a chance!
Ryan hurriedly bent his bow and arrows, and the two digging worms finally recovered and burrowed into the ground.
It's a pity.
As a magical creature with a challenge level of only 2, the Digger is far less fast than Ryan and Blind Old Jack.
Shout!
Shout!
Two arrows were fired one by one, easily hitting a digging worm, causing its entire body to be "flipped" over, and finally turned into a cloud of data that fell into Ryan's field of vision.
Blind Old Jack's movements are more simple and rude, he is also a warrior, his literacy in all aspects is far stronger than Mano, I saw him rush to the side of the only one left, pull one end of it with one hand, and then use force with his arm, and actually pull out the whole digging worm with brute force.
Next, the blind old Jack swung the heavy sword in his hand and slashed at the digging worm, the strength of this warrior was so amazing, under his several fierce attacks, the digging worm trembled like an electric shock, until finally there was no movement, the blind old Jack was satisfied to put down the weapon in his hand.
"Alright, it's all taken care of," said the blind old Jack, "as we agreed, you are to return me a silver coin for this free meal today." β
"What are you kidding, you just killed one, and you actually have the face to mention 'free order' to me?" Kader clasped his hands to his chest and snorted, "Not to mention that our store will not come to this set, even if you want to be exempted, I will not give you a free order." β
"Good food is always worth the money."
"I know, that's why I said 'even,'" Cad said with a glance at Ryan, shaking his head, in a non-negotiable tone, "and my old friend is dead." Josh may not have a good brain, but he is at least quick enough to do some of the simple and boring tasks for me, such as washing vegetable leaves and pulling out animal entrails. β
"But now he's dead," said Card, shaking his head and full of chagrin, "Damn, it's my fault that I told him to find the trail of the digging worm that attacked us in the first place and kill them with explosives, but I forgot that the digging worm wasn't a solitary creature at all, and that this young man would end up dead on his own." β
"You want to use explosives to deal with the digging bugs? With all due respect, Sir Halfling, I think you may be in a little out of your mind," Ryan said, with a black line on his head, "but, nevertheless, I have good news for you. β
"What's the good news?"
Cad turned around and saw Ryan inspecting the corpse of the Digger, and asked in surprise.
"I didn't find any human blood on this digging worm, which means there's a good chance that Josh isn't dead," Ryan stood up, "Maybe Josh was just somewhere else temporarily." β
"You mean he's lost?" Kad frowned, "Although Josh is stupid, he is not a child, he has lived here for about two years, how can he not find his way back." β
"Anyway, Card, your cooking is impeccable, but you should never doubt a hunter's judgment," Ryan smiled mysteriously, "or you see how that goes, we'll help you find out where Josh is, and you've broken the precedent for us to waive the cost of this meal." β
"......" Kad looked up and down at Ryan in its entirety, then thought about it for about four or five seconds before he said, "Okay, I promise you!" But if you can't find it......"
"If we don't find it, or if we only find Josh's body, we'll pay double the price, and count it as the cost of burying Josh."
Ryan said very seriously.
"Okay, deal!" Card dragged his chin and thought earnestly, "But! In addition, in order to prevent you from running away halfway, this little girl has to stay with me as a hostage. β
"There's no need to be so troublesome, just come along," Ryan said confidently, "and if you're still uneasy, you can let Blind Old Jack come with us." β
"Well, that's what I mean," Cade snorted as if he didn't believe in evil, "Blind old Jack, do you hear that?!" Come with meβ"
"Shut up, Card, I don't need you to remind me of this," Blind Old Jack scolded loudly, picking up his heavy sword and rising, "Josh is also very important to me, if I never see him again at dinner here...... Honestly, I'm going to get bored. β
β¦β¦
Once he set the forest to his preferred terrain, Ryan never changed it all the time. With its help, simply looking for the traces left by a human is really handy for Ryan.
And even without the influence of the terrain, Ryan dared to assert that there could be no accident for Josh.
Maybe it's just that stupid people have stupid blessings.
The "Fight for the King" event was the beginning of the turmoil in the entire Anovara continent.
During this time, no one in the entire continent dared to guarantee whether their life would be better or worse tomorrow.
But Card and his big silly buddy Josh are different.
It's as if they had been protected by Lady Luck, and every time they encountered a danger that could destroy them, they eventually succeeded in saving them by chance, and even until the gods descended to the mortal world, their business and personal safety were still unaffected.
β¦β¦
"Ryan, do you have any new discoveries now?"
Seeing Ryan crouching in front of a piece of dirt groping for something, Card couldn't help but lean over curiously and asked.
"That's right, Josh has been to this place before," Ryan said as he stood up and patted the dirt on his hands, "Come with me." As I said, I'll take you to him. β
"Really?" Kader looked at the dirt under his feet with a confused expression, he really couldn't understand what Ryan was paying attention to just now, obviously there were no footprints on it, "But why ......"
"But why didn't we find anything?"
Blind Old Jack asked first.
"No, I'm not trying to say that," Kad shook his head, his tone odd, "I mean, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the gathering place of a bunch of goblins. β
"I know what you're trying to say," Ryan looked at Card with a grin, "The question is, how can you be sure that Josh left to find the diggers?" β
