Chapter 234: The End of Being Lazy
In just one morning, those creepy grouper ants disappeared without a trace.
Along the way, except for a few scattered small demonic beasts, everyone never encountered any trouble, which made the mercenaries who often mingled in this mountain range feel puzzled.
Yan Shi's eyes were like lightning and he glanced around, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he said softly: "What the hell is today, isn't it usually the territory of the red-eyed lion here, why haven't you seen any of them today?"
"It's not a good thing that you haven't seen it, those guys are big and have no oil and water, who wants to fight with them?"
The other mercenary heard him and pursed his lips in disdain.
The red-eyed lion is an extremely violent demonic beast, this kind of demonic beast has a low rank, a strong fishy smell in the flesh and blood, the fur is not very valuable, and there is no useful place on the body.
These mercenaries are usually reluctant to do anything when they see them, which also creates the red-eyed lion group to grow larger and larger, dominating the mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"Haha, maybe those guys were all eaten by grouper ants last night!"
Xiao Luo heard the conversation between the two and came over with a smile.
Hearing his laughter, Yan Shi pouted disdainfully: "What are you doing when we talk, let's play, little farts and children are playing!"
When the words fell, Pu Fan's big hand picked up Xiao Luo and threw him behind him.
"You..."
was robbed by him, Xiao Luo immediately gritted his teeth angrily, but he was weak and was not Yan Shi's opponent at all, so he had to hum angrily: "What's the big deal, when the master grows up in the future, he will slap you into the coffin!"
"Haha... Xiao Luo, when you grow up, you don't need to shoot, this guy will go in by himself!"
When the mercenary walking next to Yan Shi heard it, he immediately burst out laughing, but the laughter caused Xiao Luo and Yan Shi to look at each other angrily.
Walking behind the team, hearing the laughter coming from the front, Zhang Hao shook his head slightly.
The nerves of these mercenaries are not ordinarily strong, and they are still in the mood to laugh after that kind of thing last night.
Ke Lao looked at the mercenaries in front of him who kept making fun of Xiao Luo, a smile appeared on his dry face, and then Zhao Xueying, who was walking side by side with him, whispered something.
Seeing the other party nodding, he smiled and said: "Let's speed up our pace, let's climb the mountain peak in front of us, our young lady said just now, as long as this task is completed, each person will add another fifty taels of silver!"
"Oh..."
Hearing Ke Lao's words, those mercenaries suddenly became excited, and one by one, they thanked Zhao Xueying and Ke Lao for a while, and then raised their speed.
Zhang Hao followed closely behind the team, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper. Zhao Xueying frequently encouraged those mercenaries, it seems that this matter must be very important to her.
And just when he was puzzled, Zhao Xueying seemed to demonstrate to him, and turned her head to show him an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Seeing this, a smile crossed Zhang Hao's face shrouded in cloak, but no one saw the coldness hidden under this smile.
The footsteps of the crowd soon crossed the peak, and there was a large forest in sight.
The trees here are no longer those broad-leaved trees, but a tree with triangular blue leaves.
The trunk of this tree is so thick that it takes three or four people to hug each tree.
Hundreds of meters tall tree trunks block the sun from pouring down, and only the stars fall to the ground. The soles of his feet thumped on the wooded ground, and it was obvious that the ground under his feet was hard beyond everyone's imagination.
"This is Moyun Wood, a tree endemic to the Tello Mountains. ”
Just when Zhang Hao looked up at a towering tree, Ke Lao came to his side at some point and said slowly.
"What the hell are we looking for here?"
But Zhang Hao didn't ask about this kind of Moyunmu, but frowned.
"Hehe, this old man doesn't know, but our young lady will tell you later. Seeing this, Ke Lao shook his head with a smile.
But Zhang Hao turned his attention to Zhao Xueying.
"Let's come over first!" Seeing him look over, Zhao Xueying showed a smile on her face, and then clapped her hands and said to everyone.
Hearing this, the mercenaries hurriedly crowded around her.
"Hehe, let's go over!" Seeing this, Ke Lao laughed again, and then walked with him to Zhao Xueying.
"Let's come out here, mainly to find a kind of blue rock crystal, this kind of thing can only be found in this Moyun Forest, everyone must look carefully!"
"Blue rock crystal, what's that?"
Yan Shi frowned and looked at her and asked, they had never heard of this kind of thing, so how could they find it?
"This is the blue rock crystal, everyone can recognize it as long as they see it exactly like it. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xueying turned out a blue stone only the size of a palm from the palm of her hand and said.
And the crowd hurried up to watch it carefully. I saw a burst of mist on the blue stone, and a cold metallic luster was released from it.
"What is this blue rock crystal for?" Looking at the blue stone in Zhao Xueying's hand, Zhang Hao couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"Hmm, this kind of blue rock crystal seems to be a material used in refining spiritual weapons, and the old man doesn't know very well!" said Lingxuzi with a deep groan in his heart, he didn't know much about this kind of refining method.
"Okay, let's spread out and look for it, but don't stay away, lest you encounter any danger!"
Seeing that everyone retracted their gazes, Zhao Xueying put away the stone again, and then pointed to the forest in front of her, and said, "The blue rock crystal is below these Moyun trees, as long as everyone is careful, they can find it!"
Hearing her words, the crowd burst into laughter and dispersed.
Zhang Hao glanced at Zhao Xueying's smiling face, shrugged his shoulders, and followed everyone towards the forest.
It's really hard to earn this hundred taels of silver......
After seeing that everyone lowered their heads and looked for them, Ke Lao showed a strange smile on his face, and then glanced at Zhao Xueying, and slowly walked into the Moyun Forest.
Footsteps kept shuttling through the forest, Zhang Hao looked down for that kind of blue rock crystal, but an hour passed, and he didn't even see the shadow of that kind of thing, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
If this kind of thing was really that hard to find, Zhao Xueying wouldn't hire these mercenaries to help her find it, right?
The doubts in his heart made him look up at the other party, only to see Zhao Xueying's graceful figure standing there without moving. Seeing this, he became even more puzzled in his heart.
"Hehe, you can't find it like this!"
Just when the doubts in Zhang Hao's heart were getting heavier and heavier, Ke Lao laughed behind him, and then pointed to a Moyun Wood and said, "The blue rock crystals are all buried under the Moyun Tree, and if you want to find it, you must dig it out one by one!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hao showed a trace of surprise on his face, then nodded with a smile, a long sword flashed in his hand, and began to carelessly pull the hard ground under the Moyun Wood.
Seeing that he was still like that, Ke Lao couldn't help but shake his head, and then walked away with a smile.
After he left, Zhang Hao sneered, these two really think of themselves as stupid people?
What blue rock crystals are looking for here is just a front for them, I'm afraid the real purpose is not here.
"Haha, the master has found it!"
Just when Zhang Hao sneered in his heart, an excited voice suddenly sounded in the forest in the distance, and when he heard this voice, he knew that it was Xiao Luo's guy.
Xiao Luo held a fist-sized blue rock and ran out of the depths of the dense forest, his face was full of excitement, and he came to Zhao Xueying's side and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, can you see if it is this kind of stone?"
Seeing this, Zhao Xueying picked it up and carefully identified it, then nodded and said, "That's right, Xiao Luo Ke is really capable!"
Hearing her compliment, Xiao Luo suddenly had a smug look on his face, handed her the piece of blue rock crystal, and turned around and rushed into the forest.
"This kid... Alas..."
Looking at Xiao Luo's happy look, Zhang Hao shook his head gently, and then began to look for it carelessly.
For the next period of time, people kept looking for the blue rock crystal from the forest, but he didn't even see a shadow.
Listening to the mercenaries who were excited from time to time because of Zhao Xueying's praise, the corners of Zhang Hao's mouth slowly lifted a smile, in fact, what people want, sometimes it's so simple.
"Qiang!" The long sword stabbed out indiscriminately suddenly heard a sound of gold and iron, but Zhang Hao showed a smile on his face.
He placed his sword on the ground and peeled the ground away, revealing a thumb-sized blue hedron in front of him.
Looking at this piece of blue rock crystal that was only the size of his thumb, the corners of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched hard, and he picked it up carefully, holding it in the palm of his hand, but there was an urge to scold the sky, and he harvested such a piece in half a day?
"No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, put them away first!" closed his eyes and put the piece of blue rock crystal into the ring, picked up the long sword next to him, and looked for it again, anyway, it was nothing, just pass the time.
After comforting himself for a while, he began to glance around casually again.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, a wet thing fell into his neck, and when he reached out and touched it, his face suddenly became ugly.
"Quack!"
Above his head, a piercing chirp sounded, Zhang Hao slowly withdrew his hand, looking at the disgusting thing in his palm, his face slowly gloomy.
"Poof, hehe... Haha!"
Just as he wiped the puddle of things in his hand onto the tree with a gloomy face, an exaggerated laugh rang out in the distance. turned around suddenly, only to see Zhao Xueying squatting on the ground, pointing at him with her finger and laughing wildly, obviously the scene just now was watched by her.
"Forget it, I'll bear it!"
The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, Zhang Hao retracted his gaze, and walked away casually, but the tightly clenched hands showed the anger in his heart.
Seeing that Zhang Hao didn't pay attention to his laughter, Zhao Xueying took a breath, then stood up, and then hummed: "This is the end of laziness!"
As more and more blue rock crystals were collected, the sky darkened again.
Seeing this, Ke Lao hurriedly gathered everyone to withdraw from the forest and set up a tent in an open field.
Night soon enveloped the mountains, and after the people were busy setting up their tents, they hurried into the forest to collect a large pile of branches. In order to prepare for the grouper ants at night, they must prepare in advance, after all, there are no extra tents and clothes for them to burn.
Sitting around the bonfire, everyone talked and laughed about some interesting things in Tello City, and from time to time made a joke about Xiao Luo, and after the baked food was eaten, everyone arranged a guard.
After scattering some insect repellent powder around, they each entered the tent to rest, while Zhang Hao sat next to a big rock, watching the bonfire crackle and burn, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile but not a smile.
This is the class he specially changed with Xiao Luo, and he and another person will keep vigil tonight.
"Huh!"
Not long after, a dark shadow suddenly burst out of the tent.
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up slightly, and he said secretly: "You really want to act......
