Chapter 451: Warning
PS: Thank you for the reward of the pigs in the world!
The sun had already shifted from the middle of the head to the other side, and at this time, a group of people came out of Sunshine Town one after another, with nearly a hundred people, and the team almost opened more than two hundred meters from the beginning to the end.
At the head was a one-eyed man, accompanied by seven or eight men, all of whom were burly men, and their weapons were heavy, blunt weapons, except for sticks and sledgehammers.
There were less than twenty men on each side of the procession, mostly in groups of threes and threes, with the largest group being seven men following behind Joseph.
The last team consisted of about ten men, this was the old Cheney's men, their costumes were slightly more uniform, except for Cheney, who was holding a staff, most of the others were long swords, in addition to two archers.
In the middle of the team were, of course, Leon and his companions, including four elves, eleven mountain people, and the rest were Caterina and others, adding up to about twenty people.
At this time, Sophia was carried on a stretcher by two mountaineers and followed closely by Leon's side.
Because Cheney had said that the Black Forest at night was quite dangerous, Leon had the good idea to camp at the edge of the Black Forest and wait until the next morning to continue their journey, so they had plenty of time and did not need to hurry.
When night falls, the sky changes magical colors, and at the same time, it illuminates the large black forest in front of it.
The hunters were very experienced, so they chose a small hill nearby and set up camp on the side, which was relatively flat and sheltered from the night wind blowing from the north.
Soon tents were set up and several campfires were lit. The crowd spontaneously formed a group and sat around a somewhat faltering flame.
Someone began to take out the food and distribute it, and some people set up shelves on the fire. Grill large pieces of fresh meat on a rack that is still well preserved, and in a short time, a mouth-watering aroma wafts through everyone's nose.
The fire on Leon's side was the strongest, and there were the most people, and although they didn't have any meat to barbe, the pieces of meat they grilled here were the largest.
In addition to Leon's companions, Cheney, Joseph, and Boris are the strongest hunters and freelance mercenaries, as well as the bearers of commissions. Of course, I will be with my employer.
They saw Li Ang's financial strength, and now they saw his "strength", and of course they did it more meticulously and in place. At this time, he was explaining to him some precautions in the Black Forest.
From here until a kilometre or two into the Black Forest, it is considered to be on the edge, and there are a large number of carnivorous beasts, the largest of which are brown bears, wild boars and green leopards, followed by wolves and pythons. But when it comes to dangerous journeys, dù is concerned. None of these animals are as good as hyenas.
Hyenas are even a few laps smaller than the green-striped leopards, but they are incredibly fast, aggressive, and quite cunning, and when they appear, they form in groups, at least forty or fifty. Therefore, when the hyena group appears, the lone hunter often can't escape the bad luck, and more than ten people can only escape when they form a team to defend.
Of course. This does not include third-order powerhouses, but if you face an entire pack of hyenas alone, you are generally reluctant to force your hand. Because the most annoying thing about this animal is that there is nothing worth acquiring all over the body, not to mention the waste of precious body in the fight, it is also very likely to waste even more valuable medicines.
Li Ang said nonchalantly: "There are so many of us, it is estimated that the hyena group does not even dare to approach, what are you afraid of?"
He deliberately pretended to be ignorant of the dangers of the Black Forest, but this sentence was not a big problem, because according to the young man's observations, most of these hunters and free mercenaries were middle-to-upper second-order figures, and there were quite few people below the first order, and it was estimated that even if there were many before, they would definitely be eliminated through the tragic law of survival of the fittest.
Therefore, nearly 100 people of such strength entered the Black Forest together, and it was good that the hyena group did not appear, and it was estimated that they would soon be torn to pieces as soon as they appeared.
Cheney and Joseph glanced at each other, and noticed that the corners of each other's mouths were slightly bitter.
Unlike Boris, who only rely on intuition to survive, Cheney and Joseph like to ponder, and from their judgment, since Leon has already found so many "guards" and specially spent a lot of money to hire them, the herbs to find must not be simple.
Although these people around Li Ang did not show the depth of strength, those dark-skinned men revealed a fierce aura, their eyes occasionally emitted a fierce light, and there were a few rare elves, those two with longbows on their backs were elven rangers?
Regardless of whether it is or not, from this position, the purpose of the young employer may be to cross the edge of the Black Forest, and there are more ferocious creatures there, and some creatures will find even third-order professionals feel quite troublesome.
Is this decision really the right one?
Cheney and Joseph came to their senses of being rewarded for their hunting, and began to worry about the unknown dangers they would face along the way. However, although Cheney has been hunting in the Black Forest with people more than a year ago, he has been a freelance mercenary for almost his whole life, and he still attaches great importance to the contract, and since he has reached a verbal agreement with the other party, he can only grit his teeth and hold on.
Joseph is a pure hunter, he doesn't have too much concept of contract, but since Cheney and Boris have no objections, if he speaks first, he may offend the other two, and now the hunter's power in Campbell is extremely weak, so he doesn't dare to break away from this only team.
Then we can only focus on the horrors of the depths of the Black Forest, so that this young employer should not act too lightly and carelessly, as long as he is careful everywhere, so many people may not be able to get away with it.
At this time, several hunters had already begun to distribute the barbecue, and Leon was the first to get it, and when he smelled this slightly familiar taste, he couldn't help but take a big bite directly.
This was his first feeling, and his second feeling was "a little cumin and chili pepper would be great......
In fact, the taste of barbecue with only salt and one or two other condiments is quite good, especially after a bite, the feeling of warmth radiating from the stomach to the whole body is even more enjoyable. He grabbed a towel to wipe the grease from his mouth, and was about to take a second bite, only to find a familiar aroma on the towel.
The young man looked back. Looking at Katerina's smiling face, I suddenly felt that my whole body was radiating warmth.
"Take a bite," he said, holding the roast meat over.
Now that everyone around was in the midst of the bustle caused by the distribution of barbecue, no one seemed to notice this, and Caterina took a light bite from the spot where Leon had bitten with a blush that was not obvious in the night.
The young man who originally intended to tease the knight girl a little bit was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to expect the other party to be so "bold" this time. But then I laughed.
"Hey...... Is it delicious?"
Caterina let out a soft "um", but she quickly pushed Leon's still raised arm away and gave the other a blank look. "Everybody has it," he said. ”
This rare look made Leon's heart itch, and he was about to say something like "The barbecue I have eaten is different", but suddenly he saw Erin staring at this side diagonally, and Melissa girl.
Li Ang suddenly coughed a few times. Then take a big bite of the barbecue. Fortunately, at this time, Cheney began to talk about the Black Forest again, which made the young man less embarrassed.
Cheney said just now that the edge of the Black Forest is about one or two kilometers long, and beyond this distance is equivalent to going deep into the forest - this depth refers to the extent of the Black Forest extending beyond the Great Heath, and if you count the Great Heath, it is estimated that most of the Black Forest is only the edge of the whole extent.
Once you cross the edge and go deeper, a faint fog begins to surround the Black Forest, and many people will feel a faint sense of oppression from this distance.
In addition, the change of biological species was also one of the judgments of hunters in the first place to determine the marginal range. The color of the brown bear's fur will darken, and it will become massive. And the power is infinite, if you are not a second-order mid-to-upper power professional, it is estimated that you will not be able to catch a single swing.
Wild boars, leopards, wolves, pythons, etc., are all like this, or their body size has changed, or their speed will be much faster than before, and some creatures will even develop some natural abilities, such as a medium-sized python with a gray complexion that can shoot ice arrows from its mouth, and its attack power is quite strong.
As the distance goes deeper, the beast's abilities will become stronger and stronger. After so many years of hunting, there are many rumors about the depths among hunters, it is said that someone has once set foot in the Black Forest of about five thousand meters, which is already the world of mutant creatures, and the most sensational rumor is still more than a year ago in Brown Bear Town, it was a team of twenty people, including five or six third-order professionals, one of whom is close to the peak level, they have their own strength, and they have penetrated into places that no one has entered before.
In the end, only one man came back alive, the strongest of them, and from his mouth the hunters learned the general situation inside—a large snake and scorpion with five or six heads, two giant elephants much sharper than the thickest spears poked out of their large cracked mouths, large-headed monsters less than half a man tall, and countless similar terrible creatures, and from then on, the distance of five thousand meters became the limit of life and death recognized by all hunters.
“...... Five thousand meters?" Leon pulled up the map of the area, carefully observing the black fog that shrouded the Black Forest, and from his previous experience, five thousand meters was just a new touch to the outer edge of the Great Wasteland.
I have to say that the description of these hunters reminded Leon that with his own strength, there should be no problem in reaching the Great Wasteland safely, but the dangers he was about to face from Cheney made him start to take this operation seriously.
"I see, Cheney, thank you for the information," Leon patted the old man beside him on the shoulder, "I will always measure the difficulty of this journey, and this information also makes me feel that it is very worthwhile to hire you." ”
Leon's words were not to fool the other party, Cheney's reminder was indeed quite crucial, so that he would no longer be careless, so as to avoid a lot of dangers, and he felt that it was worth it for more money. (To be continued......)
