Chapter 456: Black Forest (5)
PS: Thank you for the tips and evaluation votes of the injury chase!
Boris brought a dimensional bag and handed it to Leon with a look of anticipation.
To Leon's surprise, there were at least a dozen kinds of herbs in the bag, nearly three hundred well-preserved herbs, which should have been all the harvest of the hunters after coming to Sunshine Town, and going back and forth to the Black Forest several times.
Although most of them are common species, there are many of them, and the fact that the hunters have not yet ventured deeper and explore far less area than the forests near Brown Bear Town shows the abundance of the Black Forest.
For Li Ang, no matter whether the herbs are rare or rare, the more the better, and there are more and more people around him, in addition to weapons and equipment, consumables such as potions and first-aid bandages must be fully prepared, which can avoid unnecessary attrition in battle.
This time he was not so generous, and bought it exactly according to the market price, but it has already made Boris quite happy. Because the merchants who traveled back and forth to Brown Bear Town before would at least reduce the purchase price by 20%, the hunters put up with it in order to save trouble, and used the saved time to go to the Black Forest one more time, and the profits that were swallowed up could also make up for the upper part, so they thought that Leon was already quite kind.
Looking at the more than two dozen platinum coins in his hand, Cheney couldn't help but ask: "My lord, I don't know if I can buy some potions with you, any type is fine, we are willing to pay a price one percent higher than the outside." ”
Li Ang smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll talk about it later, maybe there will be a chance soon." ”
Cheney was immediately filled with anticipation, and his demeanor and speech became deferential. Now Leon is not only an employer, but also a potential big customer and alchemist, and he doesn't want to make a bad impression on the other party.
It's not just Cheney who is happy. The hunters were in a good mood for the direct benefits, and they knew that the young employer would pay them a good sum of money after the mission, and at the same time they were quite considerate and allowed them to hunt along the way, and in the end, even the herbs they had been accumulating were all bought by the other party.
Encouraged by this mood. Although the hunters were still a little tired, their morale remained high. It seems that the concerns about connecting the depths of the Black Forest have also dissipated for the most part,
Half an hour later. The energetic hunters stood up and lined up and continued to march straight ahead.
On the next journey, they encountered five more attacks, and it can be said that they saw almost all the fierce beasts that could be seen on the edge of the Black Forest, but fortunately this place was not like the wolf's kiss forest. At most, there will be no more than a hundred beasts at the same time. Quite manageable for more than sixty experienced hunters.
I took another break in the middle of the way, and it was more than four hours later when I finally saw the light mist that surrounded the forest.
They finally reached the depths of the Black Forest.
So far, the hunters have lost four dead, three seriously wounded, and a dozen lightly wounded, and according to Cheney's words, the losses are completely acceptable, after all, the beasts killed along the way are several times more than theirs, and the results are quite brilliant.
Leon's people have never made a move, and Caterina once whispered that he should help these people. But it was rejected by the young man.
During the last break, Leon said this to Caterina.
"Katarina. As long as there are battles, there will be casualties, even if they usually hunt in the Black Forest, not to mention that accepting the commission means that they are willing to take such a risk, and you don't need to feel guilty for not participating in the battle. ”
"I just want to see how they can do it under pressure, and if they can keep their promises and fulfill my commission, and of course, I will judge the shape of every battle, and if they do not leave us behind at the most difficult moment...... Then I will definitely make a move, and at the same time they will gain my trust and be invited to be the first hunters in the free trade zone. ”
Katerina didn't go on. She understood that Leon was now a field lord, and he had to bear far more responsibilities than when there were only the three of them, and the things he considered would definitely not be as simple as she thought, so even if she still disagreed, she would still support his decision as always.
"My lord, did you really decide to go in?" said Cheney, who had been staring at the endless forest for a long time.
"Yes, let's keep walking, and set up camp and rest when it gets dark. ”
The old man nodded silently, walked to the front and said loudly: "Gather the formation and move on!"
"Don't leave too far away, keep within twenty meters, and don't act without permission once you find out about the situation, and immediately retreat! The people on both sides approach the middle, ready to support Boris at any time!"
At his command, the hunters slowly gathered together and stepped silently into the faint mist.
The feeling here is indeed a little different from before, the air has become humid and dull, and staying for a long time will make people feel inexplicably irritable, and although the light fog is thin, the line of sight will always be blocked, and it will be hazy and unclear from dozens of meters away, plus occasionally there will be a strange roar from a distance, even the hearts of these experienced hunters are gradually heavy.
"It turns out that the depths of the Black Forest will feel the pressure like this......" Li Ang walked in the middle casually, and couldn't help but secretly wonder when he saw the faces of the people around him, "In fact, it is the sense of panic in the face of the unknown, which is the nature of intelligent beings, and the weaker the strength and the lower the willpower, the more unavoidable it is." ”
In fact, strength and weakness are relative, if a fourth-order powerhouse is in the depths of the Black Forest, he knows that there is no beast nearby that can pose a threat to him, of course, he is fearless, and he will not feel the pressure around him, but if he is placed in other unknown places that are more dangerous, he will also produce pressure psychologically.
And like the mountain people and elves are another kind of "strong people", they have long adapted to this environment, not only will they not be afraid in the forest, but they also have a feeling of being at home in water.
Li Ang glanced back at the mage girl whose face was not very good, but he had to get back a big white eye.
"I'm not afraid!" the girl emphasized, "I just don't fit in!"
The young man said in his heart that your face had betrayed you, and he was just holding on, but of course he wouldn't say anything, but glanced at Melissa.
The little girl understood, so she leaned over and walked beside Irene.
Leon looked around again, wanting to see what the hell Fiona, who had been silent for a long time, was doing again, when Boris's roar came from ahead.
"The Brown Bear has appeared! Come over and help me hold the formation!" (To be continued......)
