Chapter 240: The Missing Bull
The gift was still exchanged, and Ember also took out a few processed tundra cattle weighing a ton of gold from the storage space and roasted them. This is what I and my mother searched for on the mainland for most of the day a few days ago and caught it, this kind of powerful and scarce magical beast can't even be enjoyed by ordinary nobles in human society.
The aroma of the roasted meat quickly made the Wind Dragon Elder who was still nibbling on the leaves on the side a little nervous, but with the willpower of the Platinum Dragon, Apache held on for the time being.
But when Xiaolan took out a few delicious spices and added them to the roast beef, Elder Wind Dragon silently put away the leaves.
When the little red dragon handed the roasted golden and crispy roast beef to him, the big wind dragon could no longer hold back the gluttonous worms in his stomach, and snatched the roasted whole cow and bit off most of it!
After eating the two roast cows, Elder Fenglong reacted, didn't his original intention to promote the vegetarian food he had grown that he felt was already invincible?
The little devastated Wind Dragon Elder rubbed his already full stomach, and then watched with some melancholy as the Red Dragon, which was nearly half smaller than himself, and its little snake slowly and methodically eliminated the remaining three roast cows.
Compared to Honglong's roast beef, his own vegetable leaves are only good appetizers
Cotter Empire.
"Did you hear that? The dwarves of Huanyin Mountain said that they had lost the tundra cattle they had bred in captivity, and insisted that we had stolen them. They didn't think about it in their barrels, how easy is the tundra bull to catch? I heard that there was not even a drop of blood at the scene, at least there was no one within a radius of 100 miles who could do such a thing. "In a bar in Garage City, two drunken mercenaries were talking about what they had just heard.
Near them, a mercenary with a longbow at his waist listened to their discussion, got up and left the bar to enter the mercenary guild, scanned the quest board a few times, and took it when he saw the newly released C-class quest "Find Who Captured the Dwarven Bull".
The name of the foreign secretary was signed on the location of the poster of the mission, presumably in order not to spoil the relationship with the dwarves.
This mercenary is Russell, who became a lone mercenary after the Tortoiseshell Dragon mission, and the Ranger Archer is the best at investigating and tracking, so he is confident that he can complete this mission.
After arriving at the place marked on the mission book, Russell found that there were already several mercenaries investigating here, and their movements and methods did not seem to be ordinary.
After seeing Russell, these mercenaries did not shy away from it, but greeted him in a friendly manner, because the reward for this task was only ten gold coins, and non-professional mercenaries were reluctant to come to this unsafe wilderness.
Russell returned the salute and headed in one direction to begin his own investigation, and soon he found the tracks of the tundra bull.
The Tundra Bull is a silver-level pinnacle earth-based demonic beast, although it has no long-range attack ability, but the earth skin technique they use on themselves can make their body indestructible, and they are basically immune to all physical attacks below the gold level!
Although the meat of the tundra cattle is extremely delicious, their brute strength and sharp horns make most of the demonic beasts below the gold level dare not provoke, as long as the creatures that are rubbed by their bodies will either die or be disabled.
Fortunately, they have a gentle temperament, much better than the ferocious wild boars that often attack passers-by. As long as you're not dangling in front of their eyes, you won't be attacked.
The hoof prints of the tundra bull were the size of a man's head, and Russell quickly figured out the previous route of the bull and found that there had been no new tracks for many days.
After Russell found a suspicious place, he met several mercenaries just now, and after they saw Russell, they smiled and said, "We've seen all the ones you investigated just now, why don't you join us?"
Russell was not pretentious, nodded and agreed, and the mercenary led him to a suspicious place—a clearing with hoof prints.
Judging from the hoof prints, the bulls have not left since they came to this clearing, and there are no footprints of bulls and other powerful creatures here, so an answer can basically be determined.
The Tundra Bull has been captured by some powerful flying monster from the sky!
There are not many flying monsters that can easily catch a tundra bull weighing more than a ton, and judging from the records of nearby monsters, the most likely is the Igor Giant Eagle, a gold-level white giant eagle with a wingspan of up to thirty meters, and it can easily catch a wild bull.
But equally suspicious are Griffin griffons and dragon dragons, and Russell feels like he's stuck in a rut.
The biggest problem now is that there are eight of them here, how can they all disappear all at once?
While Russell was pondering, a mercenary next to him said, "Do you think so too?"
"What else could it be?" said the other mercenary, somewhat playfully.
"It seems that these ten gold coins have no chance for us. The mercenary, who appeared to be in the lead, sighed, then bent down to collect the tools he used to detect.
"What do you mean by that?" said Russell, who had just felt a little frowning.
"I'm sorry, if I'm not mistaken, you should be Russell from the Fanta Mercenary Regiment, right? We are the former Halo Mercenary Regiment, and now we are from the Blue Dragon Mercenary Regiment, fortunately, my name is Ryder. The lead mercenary said with a smile.
It wasn't strange that Russell had guessed his identity, but he felt a sense of sympathy, after all, the mercenary group they were in had recently disbanded and become a victim of history.
However, when he heard the "Blue Dragon Mercenary Group", a flash of inspiration flashed in Russell's mind, and after thinking about it carefully, he sorted out his thoughts: "Could it be that these brute bulls were captured by Lord Ember!"
Ryder narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you also guessed, then I don't think I will ruin Lord Ember's reputation for ten gold coins, right? ”
"How could it be. Russell raised his index finger and shook it, "It's not bragging, Lord Ember saved my life, and it's too late for me to repay it." ”
Hearing this, several people from the Blue Dragon Mercenary Group suddenly felt that the distance between them and Russell had narrowed a lot: "Wow, we were also rescued by Lord Ember, tell me about your experience, was it when your life was hanging by a thread and then a red dragon fell from the sky?"
The relationship between the two parties soon became like that of old friends for many years.
"I didn't know if Lord Ember still accepted people? I wanted to add your mercenary group before, but there was no one in the group at that time, so I didn't ask for fear that Lord Ember wouldn't accept it. Russell asked, somewhat presumptuously.
"Lord Ember shouldn't refuse you to join, but I can't make a decision, so let's go back and ask Deputy Head John to see if we can contact Master Gregor. Ryder patted Russell on the shoulder.
"Then did you really give up this mission, and wouldn't Lord Ember be angry if you deducted your points?" asked one of the mercenaries with some concern.
"It's simple. Ryder looked at him: "Just go back and find a giant eagle feather or something to hand in the task, no one will confirm it anyway!"
Hearing this, the mercenary group laughed, and then the group left here with such a swagger.
