As the night darkened, ten bonfires illuminated the makeshift camp, dispelling the uncomfortable damp smell that had been making people feel for the past few days, and also penetrating the surrounding fog, spreading outward more than ten meters away.

At the edge of the light, the mountain people spent an afternoon setting up a considerable number of improvised traps, but unfortunately there were no suitable tools, so these traps were very lethal, and the main function was to warn when a creature approached.

A little further back was a circle of neatly pitched tents, mostly empty, for the people were almost all gathered in the very center of the camp, around the largest campfire, enjoying a large pile of food that Leon had brought out.

Before leaving, Jeff prepared a rich and delicious food to the surprise of first-time hunters, and they were even more amazed to hear that the food was actually made by Grand Campbell.

With a warm campfire and delicious food, the conversation was opened, and Cheney began to talk about some of his previous experiences. This veteran mercenary is eloquent, and his experience is indeed full of thrills, and everyone listens to it with relish, and interjects to ask questions from time to time, and it doesn't feel boring until the night gets darker. Then Boris and Hillarily told some more about themselves, and in the middle there were some of Erin's travel experiences, which made the mountain people who had not left the Bronze Helmet Mountains for almost a hundred years and the elves who had lived in the Whispering Forest in the north of the Great Demon Sea for generations, and they were full of curiosity and anticipation for the future.

It was not yet midnight, and most of the people had rested a little earlier in the afternoon, so the spirits of the people were not bad. When they get together, they either listen intently to other people's topics, or they whisper to each other. The whole camp seems to be quite active, forming a strong contrast with the silence of the surrounding forest.

Leon was leaning on a few piled bags and enjoying the rare leisure at this moment, when he suddenly saw Yelena passing by, sat up and said, "How are they doing?"

"There's no problem," Yelena said, "and after a night's rest, I'm sure I'll be fully recovered tomorrow." ”

Leon asked about two mountain people who had been injured by poisonous snakes in the battle, and one of them had been poisoned. One was frostbite from being shot by ice wire. Fortunately, the mountain people have lived in the Pale Mountains and the Bronze Helmet Mountains for hundreds of years, and their bodies have a certain resistance to toxins and cold, so they are not seriously injured. Coupled with the effects of potions and glory banners, it recovers much faster than others.

The young man relaxed, and then he looked at the former female head in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Yelena." It's been a few days since I left the Bronze Helmet Mountains. How does it feel?"

"It's good, and we still have a lot of getting used to, but I'm very touched by the warmth of everyone," Yelena said honestly.

Ever since the mountain people followed Leon to Campbell, their biggest concern was how they would get along with the people outside, and other than that, such as living conditions or adequate food, it didn't matter.

Because over the years, there have been countless conflicts between the mountain people and the territories around the Bronze Helmet Mountains. It can be said that their reputation in these territories is quite unbearable, and even the mountain people themselves know this very well. But unexpectedly. The people around Li Ang did not have any disgust or boredom with their appearance, on the contrary, they were quite enthusiastic, which was very different from the treatment they had received in the past, and even made the mountain people feel a little flattered for a while.

Therefore, whether it is the former leaders, or ordinary men, women and children, the hearts of the mountain people have settled down little by little and began to integrate into this new environment.

Seeing Yelena's emotional appearance, Li Ang couldn't help but smile and said: "That's good, after I go back, I will let Moros change a group of people to come to the manor every once in a while, so that everyone will soon be familiar with it, and it will be more convenient to have things in the future." ”

"Yes," Yelena agreed, "I'm sure all the people will soon like the people, the land, and the qiē here." ”

Yelena then exchanged a few more words with Leon before turning to leave, and a moment later, Cheney and Boris walked over.

"My lord, this is the herb I found, do you want to count and sort it out first?"

Previously, due to the slow speed of walking in the swamp and the danger was not great, Leon made a request to the two of them - they could leave the team for a certain distance and go to the vicinity of the road to collect some herbs unique to the swamp, anyway, it was considered a convenient thing, of course it was better to have it, and it was not a pity not to have it.

At this time, the dimensional bag in Cheney's hand was the harvest this time, and since there was plenty of time now, Leon also took it and sorted out the herbs in it one by one.

Finally, he patted Boris beside him on the broad shoulder, smiled, and said, "Yes, your experience is indeed quite rich, and the harvest has exceeded expectations, and there are many types I need." ”

Maybe because of age or other reasons, young people don't like the so-called leader must have a city, no matter whether he is happy or sad, he is not good at it, so Leon does not hesitate to express his feelings when he is happy, and what he says does make Cheney and Boris happy.

After some excuses, the two of them resolutely did not accept the money bag handed over by Leon, and for Cheney, it was an opportunity to form a friendship with Lord Campbell's lord on a journey, which could not be bought by any amount of money. Boris also seemed to have an enlightenment, and said: "My lord, we are very satisfied to be fortunate enough to go deep into the Black Forest with you, not only can we broaden our horizons, but also thoroughly understand the situation in the depths of the Black Forest along the way, and the danger of hunting in the future will be much less, for a hunter, this experience is more valuable than other things!"

This sentence reminded Leon, who first put back the money bag and herbs, and then asked, "I remember you said that other hunters have gone deep into the Black Forest and encountered many powerful strange creatures, why have we traveled about four thousand meters and no too powerful creatures have appeared?"

Cheney thought for a moment and said, "It should be because of the terrain, we just passed through a swamp with a large range, and it is estimated that those creatures are not adapted to the environment of the swamp, so they avoided this area, so we did not encounter it, but if we continue to go deeper, they are likely to appear." ”

The veteran mercenary raised his head to look at the young man and said, "And I feel that since the swamp has squeezed their living environment, then the density of these creatures on the periphery of the swamp should be higher than that of other places, so the danger we will face next will also exceed that of other areas."
