Chapter 43 Forced Helpless Travel
[When necessary, I still have to go out to see the world and see a different scenery. ——Stone python 1st day of the 147th year of the 4th era of Guangming]
In order not to see these two scoundrel golden dragons for the time being, I decided to go out for a walk and come back, and at the same time told all the staff of the manor not to take care of these two rogue dragons, and then on the grounds that I was not in the manor, I would not provide them with any services, and see how long they could stay!
I couldn't be sure when I was going to travel this time, so I set a route for myself, took Lily, Alice, Rebecca, and Zofia, and rode Goki out on the go, but Big Cat and Ling, as well as the giant eagle and the moon demon wolf who had traveled with me to the mysterious country before, also came; By the way, these two demonic beasts are now god-level demonic beasts, and they are both able to change shapes, and I also gave the giant eagle and the moon demon wolf a name each, respectively: Jinpeng and Ronin.
With this wave of people, I have also thought about it again and again.
brought Lily to prevent the two rogue dragons from taking advantage of her loopholes; I brought Alice because she didn't know anything about the other world like me; Bring Rebecca because she is a human and a member of the Empire of Light; brought Zofia because she wanted to avenge her, and because she was familiar with this other world, after all, she used to be a high-ranking angel in the Temple of Light, and she often went out on missions; With Goji because she's my ground mount; As for Warcraft, it's all incidental, and you can still get started once in a while.
This time, I plan to spend a few months in the Sleepy Mountains, hunting, learning about this ancient and mysterious mountain, and at the same time helping Zofia find the hydra in the swamp to take revenge, and then visit the unicorn king to contact and connect, and finally go to the Empire of Light to see what human life is like in another world? By the way, let's also take a look at how the belief in the Supreme God of the Empire of Light is spreading today.
After hastily cleaning up, we quietly set off from the back mountain before dawn the next day, intending to deal with the hydra first.
However, there were many things that I didn't expect.
We rounded the back hill, crossed the newly filled bridge, and headed quickly towards the forest.
"Jinpeng and Ronin continue to be responsible for the exploration ahead." I said to the Giant Eagle and the Ronin.
The giant eagle transformed into an eagle and flew into the sky, while the Moon Demon Wolf shrunk in size and continued to maintain its appearance as a big bad wolf, running in the forest.
In the past, our communication methods were relatively backward, and when communicating with the investigators, we would always be known by the enemy, such as the time when we were in the settlement; But now it's different, we have more advanced magic devices, and we don't need to use the original signal transmission to transmit messages, but talk directly through the magic communicator, which is the power of dwarf civilization and elven civilization.
This magic device has been improved many times, it is smaller and more secretive, and the style has become more diverse, but it is basically an ornament, like the earrings used by several ladies, like me, except that I have always used the studs given by the girl Concan; The Warcraft use a different one, like the Jinpeng uses a collar around the neck because it has no ears, and the ronin uses earrings; Of course, there are others, such as: pendants, bracelets, anklets, rings, tiaras, etc.
"Zofia, do you still know the road?" After entering the large forest of the back mountain, I began to ask about Zofia.
"My lord, it's not worth wasting your precious time for the sake of a mere hydra, I can solve it myself now, and I don't need to waste your time anymore." Zofia said as she walked ahead.
"That's not good, what if something happens? No, no, no-besides, it hurt my people, I don't mean that the Behemoth Manor destroyed it, how will it be mixed up in the future? I patted my chest and emphasized to Zofia.
Actually, in my heart, I thought like this: let you go alone? Cut! Wouldn't I be bored? If you don't fight monsters and have some fun, how do you pass the time? Alas—it's all to blame on those two damn golden dragons, otherwise the laborers would now be able to sleep comfortably, get up and do farm work, and bask in the sun, and drink and chat with everyone at night—I miss this quiet and simple life—
The forest in the back mountain is very lively, strolling under the dappled shade, admiring the greenery in the forest, feeling the taste of nature, and watching a small animal pop out of the forest from time to time, this feeling is - well- refreshing——!
Ask me why I didn't ride Goji?
- When I'm stupid - how else can I experience nature while riding a goji? What else can be called an adventure trip? How else do you exercise yourself? How else do you pass the time? The main thing is - I'm not that kind of person! You know—
Zofia led the way in front and seemed to be in a hurry, so the speed gradually increased, and we all followed behind to speed up.
The strength of several people is not bad, and my strength is the best in the team, and they are either god level or saint level, and I am still stupid and don't know what level, but I feel that if I fight seriously, I can't even beat Rebecca, sad——。
All right! As one of the most dishes, I have always been slower than them, and it is a shame that I have not been able to outrun them.
After two hours or so of continuous rapid running in the forest, I finally surrendered.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey—stop—stop, stop, run, run, run, run, run, run,
I bent over and put my hands on my knees, my upper body rising and falling as I panted, and shouted to the people in front of me.
Seeing that they had also stopped, I sat down on the spot, still panting, and asked strangely, "Aren't you, you, all, all, all, tired?" ”
"Not tired!"
The uniform answer ruthlessly destroyed my fragile heart, and I could only reply with a silence, my old face was hot for a while, and I thought to myself: Shame on people! I can't outrun a few chicks as a big man, it's too embarrassing; No way! Too lack of exercise, it must be so, I must strengthen the exercise, grasp the physical fitness and endurance, otherwise how will I see people in the future; But for now, let me rest first, I'm so tired!
I just thought about it, but I didn't expect Ge Ji to come directly: "Master, or Ge Ji will run away with you!" ”
Gogi's warm words were like a pool of hot springs in front of me, and I tried my best to resist in my heart: how can this work? Isn't that tempting me? No, no, I have to run by myself, and I can't ride Goji anymore if I die.
However.......
"Thank you, Goji, I'm so embarrassed to let you run behind me! Are you tired? If you're tired, you have to say it, let's not rush to the road. ”
Already on the back of Gogi's horse, I enjoyed saying devilish things, but my heart was already scalded with shame: Ahhh Still shameless? My old face! , – you're all on the ground!
Well, I'll admit that - riding Goji on the road - really- it was so comfortable!
At this moment, I feel like an addict, creating evil-
Every time I look at this big forest from the back mountain of the giant beast manor, I feel very big, but I didn't expect to feel bigger after coming in, and the trees are very tall, if it weren't for the three original inhabitants of Big Cat, Jinpeng and Ronin to guide the way, it is estimated that we would have been lost in this big forest at this time.
"It's getting late, let's get here today, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning."
Walking to a slightly empty place, I stopped.
Yes, I didn't stay on Gogi's back all the time, I hitchhiked for a short while, and when I had recovered my strength, I continued on my own journey; It is said that to exercise is to exercise, and the idea of being lazy is also a period of exhaustion at that time.
The season has already entered summer, and the heat in the great forest will gradually dissipate until near midnight, and in the quiet night, even the slightest sound becomes extraordinarily loud, and the sound of insects and burning wood is like a beautiful music specially composed for the hot summer night, and the sound is pleasant, and I am fascinated to listen to it.
After a day of non-stop travel, the team was also a little tired, and the five people and four beasts gradually fell asleep; I didn't sleep and kept watch, staring at the fire, watching the flames beat incessantly, and the sparks flew out from time to time, drifting upwards with the heat of the flames; I looked up at the distant starry sky, but only the bright March hung high in the sky, I thought of the three moon sisters, raised their hands and beckoned to March, and involuntarily thought in my heart: I wonder if they can see it? Are you still having a good time?
Feeling the tranquility around me, the irritability in my heart has also calmed down, enjoying this unique tranquility in the wilderness, looking at the appearance of everyone sleeping peacefully, I can't help but sigh: the other world is also a normal world, no matter how many disturbances, there are always those people and things around you who unconsciously worry you, maybe they were once strangers, but they broke into your heart without warning, so that you don't care.
The chirping of insects suddenly stopped, and I lost the beautiful symphony.
"Something closer!" That was my first reaction, but I didn't make a sound.
I didn't expect such an unpleasant thing to happen on the first night, I didn't react, I still kept my original position, looking at the flames rising from the fire in a daze.
However, no matter what approaches, the first thing to do is to break through the barrier we have set before they can rush towards me, and if the fire in front of me is not extinguished, it means that the barrier is still intact, so there is no need to worry about it.
Because the magic center of the enchantment is this fire, and the fire is not extinguished, the enchantment is intact, and through the fire, I can also see the situation around the enchantment, and all the scenery within twenty meters of the enchantment is projected in this flame, sometimes it is really convenient to think about the magic of another world.
In the darkness, a few nocturnal animals passed by the edge of the barrier, and farther away, there were several "rats" approaching this side, looking more like human adventurers, but I knew that ordinary human adventurers would not dare to go so deep into the sleeping mountains, let alone go out at night, and at the same time the standard weapons in their hands betrayed them.
They approached quietly, without making a sound, and even when they stepped on the flowers and plants, they didn't make a sound, obviously they were all masters who knew how to hide.
This reminds me of a human class, the Jungle Slayer, the weapon used by this advanced Assassin class is the same weapon that is now in the hands of the little mice, called the Assassin's Blade; Measuring over a meter long, this weapon is slender and tough, with a slightly curved blade on one side, light and extremely sharp, making it ideal for delivering a lethal blow to an enemy in the dark.
Those who can reach the level of jungle hunter are already the best in the assassin profession; According to Rebecca's introduction, every jungle hunter has countless lives on their hands, no matter what race they are, they will not be soft, but what they like to hunt most is not Warcraft, but elves and goblins, followed by humans; Hunting elves and goblins is because elves and goblin slaves are the most popular in human society, and hunting humans is because humans are worth money.
In order to lead these little mice into the magic traps set around the barrier, I deliberately took out a bag of gold coins and poured them on the ground to count, so that they would think that I was a young man who had no sense of danger, had just come out to learn adventures, and had a lot of money, so that they could let their guard down; This bag of gold coins was also mixed with a few gems and a few high-grade magic crystals, and I found a turquoise magic crystal in this small pile of gold coins and put it in the firelight, and the light from the magic crystal stone deeply attracted these little mice.
In the beating flames, I saw that one of the jungle hunters was already clinging to the magic trap set on the tree, and if he tried to avoid my vision, he would trigger the magic trap I had secretly set on the tree, the Ice Thorn Trap.
I pretended to be numb and stomped my feet, sat cross-legged again, and then suddenly turned to look at the jungle hunter clinging to the trap.
As I expected, the bush hunter leaned sideways against the tree to avoid my vision.
"Hmm!" A muffled grunt rang out, and the jungle hunter was stabbed by the ice thorns that erupted from the magic trap.
Naturally, the performance is to perform the full set.
Hearing the muffled grunt, I quickly put the gold coins on the ground, as well as the gems and magic crystals into my money bag in a panic, and then hurriedly got up and looked around for weapons in a panic.
I picked up a random weapon, and I spun it around in a terrified circle, making them feel that I didn't know where they were, but were on guard in the dark.
Apparently my performance was a success, and the little mice fell into the magic trap one after another, leaving only the last two who did not dare to get any closer.
I patiently pretended to be on guard for a long time, and only after the symphony sounded around me again did I slowly sit down and yawn at the fire, looking very sleepy, and then pretending to be too sleepy and fell asleep beside the fire.
Unexpectedly, I originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, but I did fall asleep later, which I really didn't mean to. Before going to bed, I saw that the remaining two jungle hunters thought that where their companions had activated magic traps, there would be no magic traps, so they followed the place where their companions had walked to the enchantment, and as a result, they both followed in the footsteps of their companions at the same time, and were trapped together by the magic trap - poisonous thorns, and both went to hell, so I was relieved to fall asleep.
The next day I was woken up by Rebecca: "My lord, who was watching last night?" ”
I rubbed my eyes that couldn't open yet and replied, "Last night I kept watch until the first half of the night, and there should be no one standing guard in the second half of the night until early in the morning." ”
Rebecca said angrily, "My lord, do you know that this is very dangerous!" We were in the wild in the big forest, and we accidentally ......."
I smiled and said, "I know, so I quietly set a magic trap." ”
Only then did Rebecca quiet down: "Oh, I see, no wonder we woke up in the morning and saw seven or eight corpses lying around, thinking that someone killed them when they were on duty at night." ”
I got up and patted the dust and weeds hanging on my body, and said with a smile: "I had a lot of fun playing with these little mice last night, and I fell asleep while playing, so I forgot to wake you up for the changing of the guard, I was careless, I promise not in the future!" ”
"My lord, I'm sorry! I misunderstood you! Rebecca bowed her head and apologized to me as if she had done something wrong.
I waved my hand and walked over to the bush hunters who had been reduced to corpses last night.
"My lord, this is a jungle hunter, and a professional killer raised by the nobles of the Storm Empire." Zofia said with a solemn expression.
"How do you know?" I asked, confused.
"It was recovered from these bodies."
Zofia handed me a few identification badges, which were indeed clearly engraved with the national crest of the Stormwind Empire and the family crest of the nobles.
Although I saw that these two things belonged to the Stormwind Empire, I didn't take it seriously in my heart: what else was there to worry about with this thing? As long as this jungle hunter Lao Tzu doesn't stay, it doesn't matter which empire it belongs to!
I smiled disappringingly and said to Zofia: "All the things have been taken away, and the clothes have been stripped naked; Forget it, just keep the underwear, just take it as a good deed. ”
"My lord, don't you burn it?" Rebecca asked, confused.
"Burn it? These people also deserve it? Just like that, the corpses are in the wilderness, giving the animals some food, and adding some fertilizer to the forest, which is the only good thing they have done for the world. ”
I don't think I'm a benevolent person, but I like revenge and revenge. For jungle hunters, whose hands are stained with the blood of the good and the weak, they should not be treated as human beings, or even as beasts, because they are just a bunch of beasts that are inferior to beasts, and they can sell and hunt any race at will for their own desires.
