When Cheney expressed his willingness to continue deeper into the Black Forest with Leon, Leon noticed that some of the hunters' faces were a little unnatural. This seemed to be very inconsistent with what they had just said, but the young man didn't mind much, after all, the danger in the depths of the Black Forest was far beyond the capabilities of these ordinary hunters, and it was human nature to be afraid of it, and it was already calm for them not to speak out against it immediately.

On the other hand, although Yelena's selection of ten mountain people may not be much stronger than the hunters, but in terms of will and conviction, they are a hundred times superior, and if they encounter an extremely dangerous situation, they may play a more crucial role than forty or fifty chaotic hunters.

So Leon refused Cheney's request, although the other party was well-intentioned, but this kind of thing cannot be done on the spur of the moment, the young man would rather adopt a few but fine tactics, as for those hunters, maybe they have a great role in hunting and other places, but together they enter such a dangerous and unknown place...... Forget it.

Cheney also seemed to think of this problem after Leon's clear refusal, he thought about it for a moment and said: "My lord, I know that you are worried that you will bring too much damage to the hunters, but the depths of the Black Forest are full of dangers, and one more person is more certain. ”

"You are Lord Campbell, and the one who has brought opportunities to us hunters, if I see you in danger, I'm afraid I won't be at ease, so just let Joseph and the others take them out, and I'll pick a few people to stay, do you think this arrangement will work?"

Hearing this, Leon found that Cheney's will was quite strong. Can't help but look him seriously into the eyes.

"It's going to be dangerous this time, do you really want to?"

"No excuse," Cheney said.

During the two-person conversation. The hunters remained silent, and Joseph's expression was a little strange, and he looked at Cheney's back, knowing that this old freelance mercenary had been out of the way this time.

Joseph is a powerful hunter who has been with Cheney for a long time, so he knows each other, Cheney is still a relatively easy person to get along with, and his character is stronger than many hunters. However, he has a weakness, which is that he is keen to find some so-called "opportunities" to obtain more benefits, which are not limited to money. It also includes fame, status, and other things that can satisfy him.

It's a pity that he is just an ordinary free mercenary, and his luck doesn't seem to be very good, he hasn't gotten any real opportunities for so many years, and he's getting older and older. This thought gradually faded. In the end, in order to make more money, he simply came to the Black Forest with his friends and became a hunter.

However, this encounter with Lord Campbell should make his mind come alive again, especially for his age, this is definitely the most important and last chance, so even if he has to face such a dangerous place in the depths of the Black Forest, Cheney will do his best to fight for it.

"Friend...... Good luck," Joseph said silently in his heart.

At this time, Leon had already decided to take Cheney with him, and he actually knew the old man's thoughts somewhat, but from another point of view. Cheney's willingness to be by Leon's side in the name of "protection" means that he will have to take corresponding risks on the next journey. This is more or less a testament to his efforts. And the rest of this man's qualities seem to be okay, and it is not impossible to give him a chance to prove himself, as for the remaining hunters, led by Boris and the lightly injured Joseph, there should be no problem getting out of the Black Forest.

Cheney, who got Leon's answer, looked quite happy, and he began to choose the person he liked, but what people didn't expect was that at this time, Boris took the initiative to stand up, and Dahan said very happily that everyone else could follow Joseph back, and the next thing was enough for him and Cheney.

Cheney said with some concern: "Boris, Joseph is injured, I think you still have to ...... with everyone"

Before he could finish his words, Joseph waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Cheney, so many of us are hunters and are familiar with the Black Forest, so even if I am a little injured, it is no problem to take them out alone." ”

At this time, there was a hint of regret in the thin man's eyes, and he continued: "Cheney, Boris, I can't continue to walk with you, but I hope to see you and your lord return safely with them soon." ”

In a somewhat dreary atmosphere, the hunters began to line up, and then they turned back and set off for Campbell under the leadership of Joseph, with Cheney and Boris standing beside Leon and silently watching the men leave.

Soon, the figures of the hunters disappeared into the light mist, but Leon's voice rang out at the same time.

"Cheney, Boris, you may find something unexpected and even unimaginable on the way forward, but since you have decided to come with me, be prepared to accept and adapt, otherwise...... It's too late to catch up with them. ”

Boris straightened up and said loudly: "Lord Lord, I am ready to deal with any danger!"

The big man obviously thought that Leon was referring to the strange and powerful creatures in the depths of the Black Forest, but Cheney's gaze sneaked over the strange people behind the young man before he spoke with a smile.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I've seen so much in my decades as a mercenary, so I won't be surprised or curious about whatever happens next. ”

The old man's implicit words made Li Ang quite satisfied, he glanced at the dissatisfied vampire girl, and said, "Very good...... Then here we go!"

Leon knew that Fiona was unhappy that he had left two "outsiders" behind, but Leon also had his own considerations - he now accepted the fact that Sophia was the "Daughter of Darkness", but it was unknown what anyone other than these loyal companions and subordinates would think of it. So he wanted to start with Cheney and Boris, two "well-informed" hunters, to see how they would react when they found out, so that he could think about what to do next.

With this in mind, Leon certainly didn't care what Fiona was thinking.

It was almost noon, and they had a quick bite to eat, and began to make their way deeper into the Black Forest. From this moment on, the two elven rangers officially took over the task of pathfinding and vigilance, and the mountain people also scattered to the sides, protecting Leon and his party in the middle.

The group walked forward for nearly two or three hundred meters, and found that the soil under their feet was starting to soften again, and Leon asked Cheney, "Could it be that the Black Forest is all swampy terrain at this distance?"

Cheney shook his head in denial, and at the same time Boris said: "My lord, there is no swamp over there in Brown Bear Town anyway, but I think that since such a huge creature can appear here, then the scope of the swamp must be not small, maybe it will extend far ahead!"

The previous case of Li Angtong Guò had some trust in Boris's hunch, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will not go around, but go straight through." ”

By this time, there were only two hunters left, and they had also pledged their allegiance, so Leon's companions no longer shy away from anything, and they trudged through the wet terrain while they began to whisper and gossip with each other, not at all like the silence before.

The elven girl Luna whispered to Se about the giant crocodile she had met earlier, her expression still full of fear and a hint of worry, as if she was afraid of encountering a similar large creature again.

Li Ang couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can such a huge creature have an activity range equivalent to its own territory, it is impossible for several to exist in one place at the same time, so as long as you encounter it once, it is estimated that it will be possible to enter the territory of the other one for a long time, don't worry." ”

The young man used the knowledge he had gained from the "animal world" to make a fuss, but immediately remembered that this was another world, where even skeletons could stand up and walk, living elves followed behind him, and what was so strange about the appearance of a group of giant crocodiles that looked like moving hills?

So he hurriedly prayed that he would not really run over another one at this time, otherwise he would be disgraced in front of his companions, especially in front of the elf girl.

Fortunately, this time it was lucky, not to mention the giant crocodile, even other swamp creatures did not appear, and only the sound of flowing water and people talking was left around.

But Erin leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Comforting the little girl again! How do you know there can't be a second giant crocodile?"

“...... Instinct!" Li Ang finished with a dry smile, and quickly continued: "It is said that there is a plant called the Black Crown in the swamp, which can be added to ink after grinding, and the arcane scroll written with this ink will also increase some power, is this true?"

Although the mage girl knew that the young man was deliberately changing the topic, she chose the topic quite well, and it just so happened that she was very interested in it.

"Yes, but this kind of flower is more common in the grassland swamps in the western part of the continent, and although there are also swamps in the forest, there are very few, so the black crown on our side will be sold so expensive!"

It sounded like Erin had an inexplicable grudge against the Black Crown, so there was a strong resentment in her tone.

After a detailed introduction by Cheney and Boris, Leon found that the products contained in them were quite rich in both variety and quantity, and if you count all the areas of the Black Forest extending beyond the Great Wasteland, it may not be possible to mine them in ten or thirty years.

But there is a prerequisite for this, and that is that a considerable number of strong men need to enter the deepest depths of the Black Forest to completely rid the rumored hordes of strange creatures, if you want to do that...... It is estimated that only a few regular legions in the Kingdom of Svir have such strength.

Li Ang felt a little sorry for this, because now he felt that he was guarding a cornucopia empty, but he could only take some ordinary treasures on the outside, but fortunately, others did not have the ability to obtain deeper treasures, which comforted him a little.

Just as he sighed, suddenly something broke into his perception and appeared on the edge of the battlefield map, and at the same time, two elven rangers also fell to the ground, and said with a heavy face: "My lord, there are things surrounding, and there are quite a lot of them, in all directions!"
