There were four people in front of them who were being attacked by a group of Kodos. They were a relatively rare species. Their bodies contained poison, but their corpses were priceless. Their "poison" was also the culprit of their disaster. Because of the high concentration of rare heavy metal ions in their bodies, many hunters hunted Kodos to extract this rare metal. The rare metals in their blood and bones were rare materials for weapons and armor. Compared to the edge of the forest, Kodos could be considered kings. The main reason was that they were cunning. Although there were too many bounty hunters who went through fire and water to pounce on them, the Kodos still lived a stable life. The main reason was that they ran away when they couldn't defeat them. When they encountered a lone alien species, they would swarm them.
The few humans seemed to be in quite a sorry state, but there was no smell of blood in the air. Xiao Nuo did not even need to look to know that they were not in danger. Moreover, it was obvious that the last person who was protected by the three of them had not joined the battle yet. Speaking of which, even if they were really in danger, Xiao Nuo would not care. After all, Xiao Nuo, who had only saved one person in his life, had been completely injured by the person he had saved. Not only his body but also his soul. Therefore, even if Xiao Nuo did not realize this, his subconscious was already quite resistant to the idea of "meddling in other people's business".
"Are the brothers over there really going to leave us in the lurch? If we can get out of here, we will definitely be rewarded!”Seeing that this "savage" who was wrapped in animal skin didn't even look at them, a girl who was protected in the middle shouted at Xiao Nuo.
Xiao Nuo had not expected that they would actually ask him for help. Moreover, it was in a situation where they were not at a disadvantage at all. It was obvious that the Kodos had the intention of retreating when faced with this "rock" that they could not chew on. Therefore, Xiao Nuo chose to ignore the other party's call for help and resolutely turned around to leave.
When we return to the Battle God Academy, I'll ask my father to pay you a large sum of money. We've been lost for a month and I've had enough of being a savage. Can't this brother help? Seeing that the savage was completely ignoring them, the girl who was being protected suddenly became anxious. However, if Xiao Nuo could still see this world clearly, he would definitely notice the strange light that flashed in the girl's eyes.
Xiao Nuo indeed stopped. It wasn't because of the reward, but because he had heard about the "Battle God Academy", a place that he had always dreamed of. Sensing that the other party seemed to be moved, the people beside him also shouted," Brother, as long as you can bring us out of this demon forest, I, Gertma, guarantee you unexpected benefits. Not only will you get a lot of gold coins, I can even get you a recommendation to enter the academy. Look at you... look at you, you haven't chosen an academy at your age, right?" A man holding a heavy sword in his hand shouted at Desolate Nuo.
There was no doubt that they had succeeded. Xiao Nuo slowly walked towards the center of the battle. The man who had spoken just now had a victorious smile and a disdainful expression on his face." Village bumpkin, I don't believe that a pile of gold coins wouldn't be tempted.”It was obvious that Xiao Nuo was mistaken for a bounty hunter who relied on hunting for a living. Indeed, bounty hunters lived a life where their heads hung on their belts. Humans who relied on spoils of war for a living had an extreme passion for money. And Xiao Nuo's beast skin suit was indeed in line with the characteristics of this profession.
Xiao Nuo didn't even need to do anything to deal with such a small fry. The snow fox beside him understood its master's intention and rushed out joyfully, charging straight into the center of the battle like the wind. However, Xiao Ling returned to Xiao Nuo's side dejectedly after a while. When the snow fox with a thick dragon aura rushed into the battlefield, before it had a chance to play, the Kodos that lacked fighting spirit immediately scattered like birds and disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Nuo had been living alone for a few years, so he suddenly felt that it wasn't easy to talk to a group of strangers. Xiao Nuo, who had been calm and composed just a moment ago, suddenly broke out in a sweat.
The few people who had just escaped immediately lay on the ground weakly. Fortunately, they did not notice Xiao Nuo's embarrassment. The girl who seemed to be of noble status and was protected by a few people lay on the ground together without any care for her image. "I'm starving…Which one of you idiots said that you were invincible in the forest? I'm starving to death now. Can't you guys make me something to eat?”
"I say, Aji! We haven't eaten anything for four days. We didn't want to eat it either. Who knew that the magical beast meat here was poisonous? If we couldn't help it, we would have diarrhea for a few days. Let's endure it and think about how to get out. Even if you scold us, it won't help…Oh right! Friend, you will bring us out of the forest, right?”
At this time, the quarreling group of four finally remembered that their benefactor who had just "saved" them was beside them. They walked closer and started to size up Xiao Nuo.
He had a wild scent, rough animal skin, messy white hair, and a pair of slender and delicate hands. That's right! It was tender! This feeling was as absurd and unnatural as a peacock standing alone in a desolate snowy mountain. And underneath that messy white hair was a silver mask. It was a mask that Xiao Nuo had specially made from the cuticular layer of a magical beast for safety reasons, and his delicate hands were the result of the magical effects of the bottle of external medicine left behind by Xiao Nuo's legendary "master". Xiao Nuo, who had originally been in the depths of the demon forest for a few years, was already covered in bruises, and the scars were almost layered on top of each other. The countless near-death experiences had caused Xiao Nuo's entire body to not have a single piece of skin that looked intact. Therefore, Xiao Nuo, who was afraid of attracting too much attention, tried to apply the medicine on his face and hands, which were easily exposed. He didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good, so much so that if Xiao Nuo took off his silver mask, he would definitely be treated like a pretty boy. However, he only treated the easily exposed parts of his body. As for the scars on his body, Xiao Nuo couldn't bear to waste so much medicine. Moreover, Xiao Nuo really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with those scars. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Nuo had read too many books and understood the macro thinking of the world, he wouldn't even bother to care about such a small place. After all, those two bottles of medicine were life-saving items, and using every drop of it carelessly would cause Xiao Nuo's heart to bleed.
"Hey! What's your name? You already know my name is Aki. Aki. Phoenix. "I'm the captain of this mercenary team, I'm a mage," the girl said weakly to Xiao Nuo.
While these people were observing Xiao Nuo, Xiao Nuo was also "observing" them. Although Xiao Nuo could no longer see the world and see the colors, it didn't mean that he couldn't completely grasp "sight". On the contrary, with his beast-like sharp intuition and senses, Xiao Nuo could sense everything around him from the flow of a breeze, not to mention that Xiao Nuo also had the mysterious Psionic Power.
The girl who spoke in front of him was an extraordinary character. In the previous battle, Xiao Nuo had already sensed that the girl had intended to participate in the battle, but Xiao Nuo's appearance made her give up and quietly watch from the side. Moreover, at the seemingly dangerous moment, she could still think of recruiting Xiao Nuo as an external fighting force, and also vaguely defend against him. This girl's intelligence was not low. What Xiao Nuo valued the most was her identity as a mage. She had the same profession as her mother. Being a mage on the continent was an extremely rare profession. After all, people who could control external energy were almost one in ten thousand.
However, Xiao Nuo didn't want to spend too much experience on them. The only thing he wanted to do was to negotiate a good price and establish a partnership with them. After all, if Xiao Nuo, a "savage" who couldn't see the map and hadn't seen the world, went to the Battle God Academy alone, who knew how long it would take.
"Oh? You want to get paid so soon? You haven't brought us out of the forest yet? Moreover, we still have to discuss how much the reward is. Why don't you be our chef? As long as you can guarantee that we can eat non-toxic food and successfully walk out of the demon forest, I'll fulfill my partner's promise to you. I'll recommend you to enter the Battle God Academy and pay you a year's worth of school fees as compensation. How about that? Of course, if you don't want to join the academy, we will still pay you the gold coins we promised you as usual..." All of his clothes are made of the fur of a Tier 4 magic beast, and the mask on his face is even more exaggerated. I wouldn't believe it if he said he wasn't an awesome hunter…It would be great if he could get a master to come out of the mountain, haha."The girl with a meticulous vision had guessed Xiao Nuo's strength and situation from the very beginning.
However, these " high-grade goods " were actually the unlucky ones in the dragon fog. It was just that they chose these materials because they were of high quality.
"Deal!" Xiao Nuo, who had never spoken to anyone other than the assassin he had once liked, chose to speak as little as possible. Moreover, the tuition fee that the other party had raised was indeed a problem. It could be said that Xiao Nuo had never seen gold coins since he was young, but he had a knowledgeable mother who let him know and understand this thing. It was said that it was a mystical item that was close to the Battle God, and in many cases, it was even more powerful than the Battle God. Moreover, Xiao Nuo really didn't know the way to the Battle God Academy. If he went alone, he wouldn't be able to see the map, and he wouldn't even know the general direction. Moreover, he wasn't good at dealing with people…Just thinking about it made Xiao Nuo break out in cold sweat. It was simply a matter of nine deaths!
It seemed that other than the girl called Yaji, the other three people didn't like Xiao Nuo. This also made Xiao Nuo happy. Although Xiao Nuo didn't know the way to any place, he knew the exit of the Monster Forest. After all, Xiao Nuo had spent 14 and a half years dealing with it. As for where they would go after leaving, Xiao Nuo didn't need to worry anymore, because the guide for the rest of the journey would no longer be Xiao Nuo, but the other party.
On the way, Xiao Nuo only followed behind the four of them from afar. The magical beasts that occasionally came out to cause trouble all became Snow Fox Xiao Ling's toys without exception. Xiao Nuo basically didn't need to do anything. Xiao Nuo had read about the phrase 'taking money to help others avoid disaster' in books before, so he naturally did it meticulously. However, other than making leather coats for them, Xiao Nuo never said a word to them, because when they first met, their clothes could be described as ragged. There was almost a complete piece of cloth stuck to their only female body. On the way, Xiao Nuo could feel that the girl named Yaji was always paying attention to him, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Although she was very secretive, she still underestimated Xiao Nuo's abnormal sensitivity. In fact, all along the way, he had been responsible for hunting magical beasts, removing the poisonous parts that were inedible, skillfully skinning and cleaning them, etc. The fact that Xiao Nuo was blind had been completely ignored by the other party, or it could be said that he had not noticed at all. Of course, who would have thought that a blind man would be so…so much more normal than a normal person?
It was the same as how Xiao Nuo would occasionally clean his hair. Xiao Nuo had always been like this. After his Psionic Power mutated, he was able to operate the mixture of Psionic Power and spiritual power more skillfully. The compressed Psionic Power, or rather, the Air Knife compressed by Psionic Power, was Xiao Nuo's most commonly used tool for dissecting ingredients. However, this point might have been discovered by the meticulous Aji, but Xiao Nuo didn't take it to heart. After all, he was a true demi-human. Although his long blue hair had turned pale, and although his crystal blue eyes no longer existed, Xiao Nuo had not changed. In this world, there were many high-level demi-human technicians who were able to use Psionic Force so skillfully. Therefore, Xiao Nuo did not think that there was anything worth spying on. On the contrary, he definitely could not let the other party know about his own background and Monster Forest's past.
Six to seven days passed by very quickly. The four of them finally managed to survive the days of being in a panic and not knowing where to go. Most of the time, they were looking for fun everywhere. Even a slightly strange looking plant would be enough for them to study for a while. At first, they were very curious about Xiao Nuo's demon beast. However, when they found that the chubby snow fox completely ignored them and even bared its teeth at them, they were no longer so enthusiastic.
Every child on the Battle God Continent would get a demon beast at their 17-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. Therefore, there was nothing worth paying attention to except a little envy. Moreover, low-level demon beasts like the Snow Fox could be found all over the streets. If one had to find something different, it would be that this Snow Fox was a little too fat, too tough, and too "wooden" like its owner…and the black pattern on its forehead was pretty.
Finally, on the eighth day, they saw the first village safe and sound. Their excitement was beyond words. Xiao Nuo's small excitement was finally one step closer to the Battle God Academy, and the four of them were naturally excited that they didn't have to deal with this savage anymore, even though the clothes he made were very fitting and the barbecue he made was delicious. However…human society was still the best. There were too many good things! At least he had a place to spend his money…
"Let's go! "Big sister is treating us to a drink. We've finally gotten out of this damned place. I feel like I'm going to become a savage if I don't get out by then…" Xiao Nuo was still following behind them unhurriedly. It was currently the hottest season of the year, the hottest time of the month…noon in August!
For a while, there were only a few figures moving above, but the people in the nearby bar could faintly hear the commotion inside. This was a wooden house built between two towering trees, which gave people a very cold and refreshing feeling. One could imagine that the owner here was a shrewd and romantic guy.
