"By this point, we should be out of danger, but it's unlikely that the fire will be extinguished for a while. ”

"Yes, let's hope our cargo won't be affected. ”

"Captain, Sharon, you don't have to worry about this, haha, such a big fire, those fire mastiffs must be finished, even if we lose the goods, we can dig enough magic cores, maybe we will make money." ”

"Hao Sigao, do you still have a little mercenary consciousness, you know money, if the mission fails, our reputation will also suffer a great loss, which money can't be exchanged. ”

"Uh...... Commander, I know I'm wrong. ”

After obtaining the four demon cores, Lu Chen immediately turned to the dividing line that did not burn, and continued the exciting road to riches.

The body of the adult beast is very large, even if it is burned beyond recognition, it can be easily recognized, and Lu Chen simply got three, but this efficiency did not satisfy him.

The position of the moon in the sky has been tilted to one side, although it is impossible to tell the direction, but combined with what the teacher said, it should not be long before it will be morning; the faint light of the fire on the other side of the woods, Lu Chen has already noticed, it must have been lit by other people in distress, maybe they don't dare to do anything at night, but once the sky is bright, they will definitely join the ranks of digging up the magic core

"No, you have to hurry, otherwise you will be cheaper. ”

Gritting his teeth, Lu Chen began to rummage through the water magic scroll in the space ring, the four-star vortex was a bit too wasteful to extinguish the fire, and it was also very inefficient to use a line to extinguish a circle of fire. However, it was only then that he was surprised to realize that there were no one-star and two-star symbols in the scroll given to him by the old man, and the lowest was third-order magic.

“...... Is it because the teacher is too good to me, or are those senior brothers too strong, doesn't it mean that these scrolls are all the products of practice, why are there no first- and second-order ones? I hope it won't be too wasteful. He had no choice but to take out the three-star water scroll, and Lu Chen could only release it.

In a few moments, the woods were humbling, the choking smoke was replaced by water vapor, and the flames on the ground were extinguished, except for some thick trees still burning somewhere.

Although the degree of extinguishing the fire is a little worse than that of the whirlpool, but the area is much larger, but after the water vapor has passed, Lu Chen can't understand what the magic is this time, except for the large area of carbon black, which proves that there has been a fire here, and the slightly muddy land does not look like it has passed the fire at all.

There was no time to think about what was going on for the time being, anyway, the goal was achieved, and Lu Chen immediately recovered the magic core.

After the same repetitive work, counting the seventeen young beast demon cores, a total of ninety-five were obtained, and the first harvest made Lu Chen's mouth close with joy. Although I don't know the price of this world, judging from the information of various professions I got from the teacher before, nearly a hundred fourth-order demon cores are definitely a lot of wealth.

The ground fire is completely extinguished, but there are still many thick trees on which the flames are still vigorous, although they are all isolated, they are unlikely to cause forest fires, but Lu Chen is still not allowed to stay here until dawn, it is really not very practical to stay alone in the forest, not to mention that no one can guarantee that the fire will kill all the demonic beasts.

The faint light of the fire on the other side of the forest was the most suitable choice, Lu Chen was going to contact the other people in this world, and if possible, he wanted them to take him to the academy that the teacher said, at least to figure out how to get there.

tidied up his clothes to make himself look more natural and easy-going, then took off the space ring, tore a piece of cloth and strung it, hung it around his neck and put it in his clothes, and then walked towards the fire not far away. "Wealth is not exposed" is a wise saying, and it is even more important in this other world where I don't know if there is the word "public security".

After the fire, the woods without roads became a little easier to walk, and in just a while, Lu Chen walked out of the forest.

"It turns out that the teacher's escape magic sent me directly to the edge of the forest, I don't know what happened to him now...... Forget it, I'm not qualified to worry about that right now. Hmph, the strong man in this world, dare to force my teacher to this kind of course, one day I want you to not even dare to see the light. Looking back at the depths of a pitch-black forest, Lu Chen's heart cursed with hatred.

After experiencing the threat of death and learning that he had mysterious powers, he easily killed nearly a hundred fourth-order demonic beasts and peeled off their magic cores with his own hands, as if he had undergone a baptism of blood, which made Lu Chen's psychology change unconsciously.

"Hey, it's a convoy, one, two...... Fourteen wagons, two caravans, a lot, but what about people, are they all in the caravans?" The bright bonfire allowed Lu Chen to see the temporary camp thoroughly, but he couldn't find a single figure, not even his strange left eye.

Walking cautiously towards the camp, Lu Chen saw that there were more than a dozen adult demonic beasts lying on the periphery, most of them were full of arrows, and a few of them were close to the indirect seams of the vehicles with a large number of sword marks;

"It seems that this group of people took advantage of the fact that the demonic beast came to attack me, and they left their belongings and retreated temporarily. After coming to a conclusion, Lu Chen walked to the two caravans by the campfire.

In fact, he really wanted to open the truck to see what was being transported, but considering that the other party would definitely come back to check it, and he still had to ask for someone, he gave up the tempting impulse, after all, ordinary goods were of little use to him. As for whether it is a valuables such as gold, there is no need to consider it at all, it is absolutely unrealistic, not to mention that generally speaking, valuables are small pieces that can be carried lightly.

Climbing into the caravan, there was still no unexpected catch, and there was a mess of supplies and clothes piled up on it, and it was clear that the men had taken a small part with them before leaving, indicating that they would definitely come.

"Well~Well, I want them to help anyway, it's best if there is no good thing, and I will have to worry about it when the time comes. Ha~ Yawn, I'm so tired, I shouldn't have slept for 48 hours. Alas, it's almost dawn again, and I can't sleep much time at all, so forget it, just meditate, as if meditation helps relieve fatigue. With a small wave of aQ, Lu Chen sat down and entered a meditative state. While the continuous predicament guides him to grow rapidly, his resilience and meditation proficiency are also strengthened. (aQ:adversityQuote)

As for the corpses of those demonic beasts outside, Lu Chen didn't plan to move, he was sure that it would be more uncomfortable for them than moving their goods, not to mention that he had already gained ninety-five demon cores, so it was easier to suppress his greed.

"Hmm, what's going on? Why is it so fast, damn it?" Lu Chen, who was meditating, suddenly saw that his energy absorption was much faster, and he immediately stopped thinking of the explosive pain in the magic tower.

I felt that although it was not as large as the huge capacity in the magic tower restaurant, the special energy that could be absorbed around me was also much higher than the level I felt when I first started meditating.

"Could it be that there is a lot of this kind of energy in the outside world? Then my cultivation is very dangerous, I don't have such an abusive ...... The sun's, rich and dangerous, fighting, it's a big deal to reincarnate, it's better than dying, maybe a person's character will explode, maybe he will overstep. After struggling for a while and struggling repeatedly, Lu Chen resolutely entered meditation again.

"It's strange, what's going on, isn't this energy in nature? Why is it getting less and less?" After an hour or so, Lu Chen came out of meditation again.

"The absorption is fast, but there is no feeling of bursting, and it is also very stable, is this advanced...... Ah~ Why can't others feel my energy, then how do you judge your strength. Lu Chen grabbed his head irritably, and the possibility of entering the first order did not give him any sense of achievement.

"Wait, the power in the magic tower was when I was fighting that assassin, and now I just killed ninety-five monsters...... And at that time, the teacher released a lot of magic, especially the lightning that I taught him, it seems that he was also evaluated by the teacher as the eighth order, and just now I also released a bunch of scrolls, which means that after any magic is released, the energy I can absorb will increase? ”

"But, what's the deal with the feeling of explosion at that time, why is it gone now? Could it be that I've risen too high? Or is it related to the magic level? Forget about this problem, give up for the time being, and seize the time to absorb more. Ah~ It's only been a long time, why is there so much less......"

Thinking of part of the answer, Lu Chen's heart always had a little bottom, and he was no longer cautious, and immediately devoted himself to meditation. In his head, the world above personal power is still very simple, he doesn't need to think about anything, just focus on becoming stronger.

Morning soon came, the last fires in the forest had long since been extinguished, and the mercenary group that had evacuated to a distant clearing at night was ready to move.

"Hao Sigao, Hill and I will take two of us over to have a look, and if it's okay, you can bring half of the people who are not injured. A man in gray leather armor and armed with a sword, who looked to be in his thirties, gave the order.

"Yes, Commander. The burly young man in his early twenties, known as Hao Sigao, replied.

"I'll go too. A nice female voice sounded next to him.

"Sharon, don't be reluctant, it won't take much time for the head of the regiment to confirm anyway. The burly Hausgaard said dissuasively.

“...... Okay, then you follow Hill. Looking at the woman named Sharon, the head of the regiment agreed to her request. There is no need for any reason, because she is the real client of this mission, and one of the conditions is that Ying Zang's employer joins as a temporary mercenary and arrives at the designated place with the goods.

"Uh~ Alright, Ciel, you're going to have to take care of Sharon. Hao Sigao said to the other person a little frustrated.

"Got it, captain, you're really, you said it wouldn't take much time, and you were so verbose. Hill reluctantly agreed. As the captain of himself, everything is fine, but he faints when he sees women, as if they are all small animals that need to be protected.

Then, the five of them cautiously hurried towards their camp to see if it was safe, if the fire mastiffs had retreated, and what was going on in the forest......
