Chapter 20: Mountaineering

In this way, the effect of the medicine is very effective.

Mr. Hunt drank the pill and his stomach rumbled quickly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Allen, I'll miss you first."

Mr. Hunt, supported by his wife, rushed into the latrine in a hurry......

Ten minutes later.

The couple returned.

Mr. Hunt's expression changed dramatically.

His face was bloody, and his eyebrows were filled with joy.

The couple thanked Alan repeatedly.

praised him as a proud disciple of Ms. Sora, rejuvenating with his wonderful hands, and curing the disease with medicine.

Alan pretended to be embarrassed.

"Uncle and aunt, in fact, the basilisk is poisonous...... It hasn't been completely lifted yet. ”

Robin's family of three, hearing this, all smiled on their faces.

"Uncle's body, there is no problem for the time being."

"However, if you want to completely remove toxins from your body......"

"You must try to hunt the basilisk, take its flesh, fuse it with my potion, and take it together to completely detoxify it."

Robin's family had no objection to Allen's words.

It sounds reasonable that the bell must be tied to the bell.

However, this is not true.

In fact, Alan had already used the gluttonous system to secretly check Mr. Hunter's physical condition.

No toxin reactions were detected.

This indicates that he has fully recovered after taking the medication.

It is necessary to use the flesh and blood of the basilisk with the pill Yunyun......

It's just a nonsense made up by Allen.

The reason why I say this is because Eren himself is desperate to hunt the basilisk and obtain level 3 toxins and special ingredients from it.

However, on his own, he was not sure that he could get the basilisk.

At times like these, if you have an experienced hunter-guide, things will be easy.

That's why he made up this set of words, driving Mr. Hunt to help him hunt the basilisk, and not dare to take the prey alone afterwards.

In fact, Mr. Hunt's character is well-known.

and Alan's own father have also been friends for many years.

In addition, he has just helped Mr. Hunt detoxify him, and he has been grateful by the whole family.

Theoretically, there is no need to be tricky, and Mr. Hunt will agree to help hunt the basilisk.

But......

Maybe it's because he played the ogre too many times in atavistic meditation, and his own personality has been unconsciously affected.

I can't help but speculate on people's hearts from the most sinister angles.

People's hearts are separated from the belly, and they must be guarded against.

In any case, the strategy chosen by Allen is the safest and will not cause substantial harm to the Hunters.

That's enough.

Mr. Hunt moved his hands and feet.

I feel like my physical strength has recovered sixty percent.

Rest for two more days and prepare well, it's not a big problem!

So he said to Alan cheerfully:

"The day after tomorrow is Sunday, if your parents don't object, I'll take you and Robin into the mountains."

"Let's see if there's a chance to get revenge on that damn monster snake!"

In fact, even if Alan doesn't bring it up, Mr. Hunter has been holding back his anger these days, and has been thinking about finding revenge on the basilisk.

"Dad! You haven't fully recovered, don't go up the mountain the day after tomorrow, I can be a guide for Eren and help him deal with the basilisk. ”

Robin couldn't help but interject.

In fact, in addition to caring about his father, he also wanted to take this opportunity to show off his wild hunting skills in front of his friends.

If Dad follows him and disciplines him everywhere, how can it be his turn to show his talents?

Robin's proposal, of course, was flatly rejected by his father.

The boy looked at Alan pitifully.

Count on buddies to help you say something.

However, all that was obtained was a blank eye.

Allen, of course, would not have taken Robin's initiative.

The bear child doesn't know the height of the sky, and he doesn't have a little pressure in his heart.

You really think of yourself as the hero of an adventure novel, right?!

……

Sunday morning.

In the snow-covered foothills, dogs bark from time to time.

"Old Pete! Leave all three horses to your care, and we'll be back before the sun sets! ”

Mr. Hunt, dressed in a hunting suit, said to the forester.

"Okay, sir, the ancestral spirit blesses you with a safe hunt."

The forester took the reins and led the horses away.

Alan also jumped off the back of the black horse that Mr. Hunt had lent him, rubbed his hands together, looked at the snow-covered pine forest, and exhaled a white sigh.

From here, the mountain road becomes gradually rugged and the vegetation is dense, making it impassable for horses, so they can only cross the mountains on two legs.

In addition to him and Robin, Mr. Hunt carries a large herd of hounds, plus a well-trained falcon.

The falcon hovers in the air and is searching for prey.

Robin wears leather armor and carries a short bow.

A dagger was stuck in his belt.

He also carried a travel bag with various camping equipment.

The plan is to go on the same day and return on the same day.

However, the climate in the mountains is unpredictable, so it is necessary to prepare for camping in the wild.

Eren is also dressed as a hunter.

In return for the antidote he provided, Mr. Hunt gave him a set of hunting gear, including a crossbow, leather armor, and a camping backpack.

Alan made three improvised gas masks himself.

In addition to the antidote, the thick cotton gauze sandwich is also added with activated charcoal prepared by Allen himself, which is specially used to defend against the poisonous gas spewed by the basilisk.

A group of three, plus a falcon and a large pack of hounds.

Snow-climbing and mountaineering.

Ordinary mountains, the higher the colder.

However, this mountain is quite special.

The warmer it gets when you climb higher.

Above the mountainside, there is no snow left.

In the middle of winter, the vegetation is still green.

This is because the crater at the top of the mountain has continuously released geothermal heat for thousands of years, creating a natural hot spring.

Hot spring streams, bubbling steam.

There are many medicinal herbs growing nearby.

Alan followed the bank of the stream, swimming upstream.

As you walk, use the system to identify the flowers and plants on the roadside.

When you find medicinal herbs or ingredients, you can pick them with your hands and enrich the illustrated book.

Food and medicine are of the same origin, and most medicinal materials are also food.

It's a pity that what you see on the way are just ordinary herbs and ingredients.

No special ingredients were found.

Two of the most valuable herbs are called "longevity flower" and "snake eye fruit".

Evergreen flowers, which look like white roses.

Picking the petals and leaves to extract the juice and apply it to the wound can accelerate the healing of the wound.

It is said that the sap of the immortal flower can also cause damage to the undead.

Unfortunately, there are no signs of undead activity in the vicinity of Quint Town.

Alan can't verify whether this rumor is true or not for the time being.

Snake's eye fruit, a Solanaceae fruit similar to nightshade.

The thumb-sized fruit has a snake-scale peel.

When ripe, the skin cracks open to reveal orange flesh, which looks like the pupils of a reptile, hence its name.

The snake eye fruit is combined with medicinal materials such as condensing flowers, and the elixir is refined, which has the effect of quickly restoring magic power.

Alan felt the need to collect more.

"Snake eye fruit, it's delicious!" Robin said happily next to him.

"Yes, you can eat it, but you can't eat it directly."

Mr. Hunt hurriedly admonished the two teenagers.

"This fruit tastes sweet, but it is slightly toxic, and eating too much will cause gastrointestinal cramps, nausea and vomiting, and even life-threatening in severe cases."

"You have to soak it in salt water for an hour until the flesh turns orange to white to get rid of the toxins."

"You're right." Alan smiled and nodded.

If Mr. Hunt's method is followed to remove the toxin, the medicinal effect of the snake eye fruit will also be destroyed.

Turning into an ordinary wild fruit is of no use to him.
