PS: Thank you for the monthly pass!

After Leon said that he would not rush into the depths, the atmosphere became noticeably lighter, and they stopped continuing the previous topic and began to chat.

Leon casually asked the hunter about his usual financial situation, according to Cheney, the situation of each time they entered the Black Forest was different, so the harvest was more or less uncertain, I remember that once I almost dragged out the full harvest step by step, but relatively speaking, there were many times when I returned empty-handed.

As for expenses, at most part of it is consumables for the battle and updating and maintaining equipment, followed by eating and drinking. Of course, every year they would leave Campbell for a while, and go to some cities not too far away to have fun and relieve their tense spirits all day, and these things alone consumed almost all of their earnings - for most of the hunters, led by Boris, they did not know if they could or could return every time they entered the Black Forest, so they were quite willing to spend money on these things, so they could not save much money at hand for years after years.

The other small number of people, including Cheney, are more rational and can set aside some of them over time, and the old man is ready to stop doing it in a few years and find an ideal place to live a comfortable life.

Li Ang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are you going to do it like this?"

"Of course," Boris grinned and said, "The Black Forest is so big, it is estimated that it will not be able to be explored for more than ten years, as long as I can't die, I will definitely continue to do it!"

Joseph snorted beside him, "You can keep doing it all the time? Maybe you'll have to leave Campbell in a few days." ”

Boris's eyes widened. I was about to speak, but I thought about it but fell silent.

Seeing Leon's puzzled expression, Cheney explained with a wry smile, "My lord." As you should know, Campbell recently changed lords, and the new lord was quite strong and very powerful, and he took the opportunity to bloodied the hunters of Brown Bear Town, but fortunately we were in the Black Forest at the time. ”

He sighed and continued, "But blame us for staying in Brown Bear for too long. Some people forgot that this was someone else's territory, and acted too arrogantly, and ended up plundering the townspeople. Getting that kind of fate is also retribution. ”

"Also, part of the outer reaches of the Black Forest is already in Campbell, so our hunting here is technically equivalent to taking the property that belongs to the local lord, and the old lord didn't seem to care about it. They also ignore us. But look at what the new lord is doing now...... We could be kicked out at any moment. ”

At this point, several people fell silent.

Li Ang suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be so pessimistic, things will always take a turn for the better, maybe as long as you abide by the lord's decree, there is still a chance to stay?"

“...... I hope so. ”

Since his employer persuaded him to do so, Cheney regained his spirits, but he never doubted Leon's identity. Mainly in his concept, it was impossible for such a powerful new field lord to be so young. And it is even more unlikely that he will put down his territorial affairs and lead a group of people to go deep into such a dangerous place as the Black Forest.

Since the next three leaders still had to take turns keeping vigil, they scattered after a few more casual chats, but nothing happened that night. However, being in the depths of the Black Forest, and the strange sounds from afar echo in my ears from time to time, it is estimated that many people do not sleep very soundly.

It wasn't long before the night-dead camp came alive again, with people moving back and forth, distributing food, packing and putting away tents, making the small woodland full of life while it seemed chaotic and busy.

Soon, the people set out again and turned to the east.

It has to be said that Boris's judgment is quite accurate, after repelling a wave of berserk boar attacks, they began to feel that the humidity around them began to increase, and the fallen leaves under their feet also became slippery, and after a while, each time they landed, they would trample out the jet-black stagnant water immersed in those rotten branches and leaves, making a "quack" sound.

From here it should be the extent of the woodland swamp, not only is the fog thicker than the neighborhood, but the trees are also starting to become scarce. Further inside, the shape of the trees began to become strange, the uneven thickness of the trunks stood in front of everyone, and the extremely developed root system broke through the soil, like huge and multi-legged reptiles lying on the muddy ground covered with sewage, and from time to time some strange small aquatic creatures popped up, spit out a string of bubbles on the surface of the water and then disappeared.

However, the ground is also pushed out by the ubiquitous massive root system with continuous hills, which are slippery but provide a place for these "outsiders" to stay.

And this environment did not stop the hunters, because by now, they had found dozens of herbs in a row, including some of the more unique and rare varieties such as "swamp moss", "purple water mushroom" and "silver moon grass".

When a black turbid water appeared in front of him, Cheney stopped and said, "My lord, it will be very difficult to move forward, otherwise you can stay here for a while, let our people search nearby, they will also distinguish the characteristics of herbs, there should be no omission." ”

Li Ang wanted to see what the forest swamp was like, and then collect some herbs that grew in this environment, so he gladly accepted the proposal, and he was ready to tell the truth to these hard-working hunters after the exploration was completed, and invited them to join the plan to establish a free trade zone as the first batch of people.

Then Leon will break away from the protection of the hunter and lead the others into the deeper depths on his own, this place is not too far from the outside of the Black Forest, I believe that with the ability of the hunters, they will definitely be able to leave safely.

The hunters began to scatter, because they were not familiar with the environment of this place, especially such a large forest swamp, and no one could guarantee what would happen if it took a long time, so even Cheney and the others led a team to join the search, trying to shorten the time of stay here.

About thirty or forty minutes later. Intermittently, hunters began to rush back, and they all harvested some herbs more or less, some of which were indeed unique varieties that could not be distinguished. So most of the faces were full of anticipation, hoping that there would be the "special herbs" that Leon needed.

Cheney's squad of several people also appeared one after another, so far only a dozen people have not been seen, and they should be back after a while.

The hunters who arrived gathered the herbs together and delivered them to Leon.

The young man's gaze swept over these modest gains, and then at Cheney.

"Herbs are not in a hurry for the time being," he said, "I have already thought about your construction yesterday. Let's talk about the arrangements first. ”

"My lord, are we not going to go deeper?" interjected an anxious Boris.

"Boris, don't interrupt your lordship!" Cheney heard something strange in his employer's tone, so he immediately stopped.

"It doesn't matter. Leon smiled, "To be honest, I've been very satisfied with your performance along the way, and I'm not going to let you go any further." ”

Li Ang looked at the other party's face with some surprise on his face. Continued: "At the same time, if you want to. I will provide you with an opportunity, a long-term and stable job opportunity, and you can listen to me before making a decision. ”

The three of them looked at each other suspiciously, and Cheney forgot about the accusation he had just made against Boris, and couldn't help but say, "My lord, do you want us to provide herbs from the Black Forest for a long time?"

"It's about the same, but it should be better than this," Leon laughed, "First of all." I would like to apologize to all of you for some reason. I haven't told you who I really am, but I'm ......."

The mood of the three Cheney began to tense for some reason, and they stared at Leon for the next words, but at this moment, the exclamation of the hunter sounded in the distance.

"Oh my God!

"What's that!"

This was followed by an extremely dull crashing sound and a terrible scream.

The sudden sound made everyone here raise their heads for the first time and look in the direction where the sound came from.

More than forty or fifty meters away in the swamp, only white mist could be seen, and at this moment, the fog in that direction was surging violently, and then several people appeared from it and ran frantically towards this side.

"A giant crawler!"

"Mr. Cheney, come and save us!"

"Hurry! It's right behind!"

The next moment, a huge head poked out of the mist, and it opened its big mouth and let out a roar, causing ripples even on the surface of the water more than ten meters in front of it. Then it scurried outwards to reveal its body behind, which was a giant reptile, but a super giant crocodile more than thirty meters long!

“...... Stupid!" Cheney said through gritted teeth, "I told you to be careful!

But then he immediately shouted, "Don't come this way, lead it to the other side, and we'll pick you up!"

"My lord, be careful! we haven't seen this creature before, I don't know how powerful it is, it's best to let Hilarily go with us, and the other guards will protect you!"

Before Leon could agree, Boris suddenly took a few steps forward and said, "Cheney, get ready to fight...... I don't think they have time to lure the crocodiles away. ”

At this time, several hunters in front of the giant crocodile seemed to have completely ignored Cheney's shout, and they rushed towards the direction of the crowd without a single breath, and the giant crocodile followed closely behind, its extremely thick claws continued to rise and fall, splashing countless water splashes and making a loud bang, and even the ground under Leon's feet began to tremble.

"It's too late...... Cheney muttered, but he realized his identity and shouted again: "Spread out, attack as far as you can!" Boris, you take someone to drag him down, and your lord, you get out first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his staff and cast a fireball spell, the flames drew a trajectory in mid-air, illuminating the hasty expressions of those who were fleeing, and then the fireball spell landed on the back of the giant crocodile, and after a loud bang, some scorched marks appeared on the extremely hard thick skin, but it had little effect on the giant crocodile.

No, it should be said that it angered it even more, the giant crocodile suddenly raised its front paws, and its body suddenly burst out of several meters, and the hunter who fell at the end didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry, and was bitten in two by the giant mouth in a bloody light.
