On the morning of the 16th day, Luana pinched his nose and woke him up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Luana's smile. He tried his best to suppress the pressure of waking up. After a few seconds of their eyes meeting, Luana, who was the first to lose, turned her slightly red face away, making him laugh out loud. She, who had lost in a baffling battle, snorted coldly and got out of bed to run away.
He knew that Luana had put her clothes in the closet in the other bedroom, so he had changed out of his pajamas without locking the door. However, she had returned before he could change, resulting in a meaningless argument early in the morning. She didn't give him a good look even at the dining table. He was the one who had been seen changing clothes. How unreasonable.
After the two of them finished their breakfast, Luana asked unhappily," Are you still going out to buy things today?”
Gong You thought for a moment. Other than supervising the Chamber of Commerce to clean the sewers and move in the furniture, there didn't seem to be anything else to do today. However, he had already signed the contract with the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to entrust the renovation of the new house. Actually, it didn't make much difference whether he went to the scene or not. On the contrary, when a person held a hammer, everything looked like a nail. He had just received new equipment and magic, and now his mind was filled with the thought of going out of the city to find monsters to test it out.
"I bought most of the things I needed to buy yesterday. Today, I want to go out of the city to try my new magic.”He had no reason to hide the fact that he had obtained a new spell from Luana.
"Did you buy another magic book yesterday?" Although Luana was already familiar with Gongyou, she was still amazed by his amazing action. After seeing him nod and admit it, she continued," We can try new spells anytime. I'm still a little worried about Hilo. Let's go find her first."”
"Is Hilo all right?』
[Omniscient: Her condition is complete, on the way back to the hotel]
Gong You saw that Luana's mood had improved, so he said to her," Hilo should be back soon. We'll wait for her at the hotel. Go change your equipment first and leave the city together later."”
After saying that, he ignored Luana, who was still skeptical, and went back to his bedroom to change into new equipment. Fortunately, the dragon scale armor was designed to be worn by himself, so he could wear it by himself. It took a long time. When he returned to the living room with the helmet, she had already changed into the magic beast leather armor in another bedroom and put on a martial arts suit, which made her look even more valiant and energetic.
"I didn't expect you to look so handsome after putting on this armor.”Luana walked two circles around Gongyou and then praised him in an excited tone. Her eyes were sparkling like a child seeing a new toy.
"Even if I don't wear dragon scales, I'm still very handsome.”Gong You defended himself. However, he now had a new understanding of the spiritual strengthening of the four-layered runes in the dragon scale armor. A strong spirit would make one very confident, and confidence would make one more charismatic. That was why Luana, who saw him every day, suddenly felt that he had become more handsome.
"No, although you're usually very good-looking, you're far from handsome. Now, you give me the feeling that you're really handsome.”Luana looked at Gong You's face and thought for a moment before saying with certainty. There was no girl who didn't like handsome men. Now, there was a faint admiration in her eyes when she looked at him.
Luana's gaze made Gongyou feel uncomfortable, but he did not hate this kind of adoration. It really made him feel happy. However, the good time was always short. Just as the two of them were brewing emotions and preparing to say something witty, Hilo opened the door with the key and walked in.
As soon as Hilo walked in, she saw the two of them staring at each other in the living room. She was stunned for a while before asking," Mr. Gongyou, Miss Luana, what are you two doing?"”
"Ahem, I was asking Luana to take a look at the new armor. Oh right, welcome back, Hilo. Luana was worried about you just now.”The originally subtle atmosphere was broken by Hilo's voice. He cleared his throat a little and tried to trick her, although everything he said was true.
However, the strange atmosphere just now also made Gongyou vigilant. Could it be that the spiritual suppression in the four-layered runes of the dragon scale armor had unknowingly taken effect? Therefore, Luana was in a state of mental suppression and her thinking ability was at a low point, causing her to be charmed. Could this armor be a divine weapon for picking up girls? Indeed, being fashionable wasn't a bad thing.
"Oh? Oh, Hilo, you're back. Listen to me, I went to look for you yesterday, but the old priest didn't let me see you. I was so worried last night that I couldn't sleep.”After Luana reacted, she immediately rushed forward and hugged Hilo's shoulder. She leaned close to her ear and said a lot.
However, he knew that she was lying when she said that she couldn't sleep. Because the two of them were lying together, he knew that she slept very soundly last night. However, it was better not to expose such things. Hilo was so touched that he forgot about the little ambiguous thing he saw before. Although it was not good to lie to her, it was a white lie.
After that, the three of them sat down in the living room and talked. After making tea, they slowly listened to Hilo explain her unusual whereabouts yesterday.
It turned out that Hilo had only thought of praying and donating money at the temple yesterday. However, the clergymen in the wilderness would increase their strength and rank, and they would be bestowed with new oracles and miracles. Her belief in Mother Earth became more firm as she took risks, so she triggered the promotion process set by Mother Earth. Then, she only took a day to pass the test of obtaining miracles and was granted two new miracles. Even the priest of the agricultural capital divinity who met for the first time... Everyone praised her for being very active in her recent adventures, which made her feel extremely embarrassed. After all, she knew that she hadn't contributed much to the adventure team.
Compared to mages who needed to accumulate knowledge to connect to the magic net, clergymen only needed to be devout to the gods they believed in. It was said that in addition to these two categories, there were also factions that could obtain abilities by worshiping totem ancestral spirits or contracting with elemental spirits. However, if one were to compare the difficulty of upgrading these professions, the process of upgrading a priest could be said to be extremely easy.
" Previously, I asked His Excellency if he could accept the training of the monk skills, but he said that the female priests who serve Earth Mother do not need to learn to fight. That is the duty of the avant-garde and the male knights of the Church.”Hilo puffed up her cheeks unhappily. She hadn't expected that there was serious sexism in the religious world, and it was even more so than in other professions.
Gong You had wanted to comfort him, but when he thought about the customs of the church, it was better for outsiders not to comment too much.
"The two new miracles that I was granted last night were Holy Wall and Purification. Adding the Holy Light and Little Healing that I could pray for previously, this makes a total of four miracles. Moreover, the number of times I can use it per day has increased by two, reaching five times per day.”Although Hilo was somewhat dissatisfied with the chief priest's words, she was still very excited about the new miracle.
"Speaking of which, it has been ten days since we formed the team. Everyone has made great progress since the beginning.”Thinking back to the experience of these ten days, he could not help but sigh at the fickleness of the world. Who would have thought that the three of them would go further and further on the path of adventurers?
" By the way, Mr. Gongyou, the church is organizing a large-scale crusade in eight days. However, when I applied to the church to participate, the bishop said that I would only be allowed to participate in the crusade if I became an Intermediate Adventurer..." Hilo had asked the chief priest to participate in the church's operation, but she was clearly rejected by the chief priest, which made her depressed for a while.
"It's fine. Since the chief priest won't open the back door, we'll just become mid-level adventurers in the next few days and participate openly.”Gongyou finally found a chance to comfort Hilo. He was right. Since they didn't want to open the back door, then we'd go through the front door.
"Yes, Hilo, there's nothing we can't do together.”Luana also comforted Hilo. They were no longer the same as when they had just registered as Adventurers. They were only Intermediate Adventurers, and they could level up in a few days.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Kyoko. Thank you, Miss Luana.”Hilo said emotionally. She even hugged Luana on her own accord. When she first formed the team, she would feel uncomfortable when Luana hugged her. Now, she was quite used to intimate contact with people of the same sex.
After knowing that Hilo had already prepared, the three of them immediately rode out. However, before they went to the Adventurer's Guild, they took them to the Winter Chamber of Commerce. He had also ordered three sets of team uniforms to be picked up. However, when they received the two enchanted items, the two women refused to accept them. They only agreed to change into them when he clearly stated that these were the exclusive uniforms of the Golden Boots adventurer team that the three of them had formed.
.
When the warmth of the sun almost blew away the cold morning, a male staff member walked down from the office area on the second floor of the Adventurers 'Guild in the City of Agriculture. He held a large stack of paper that felt heavy just by looking at it. He pushed through the crowded crowd on the first floor and moved the stack of paper to the notice board with great effort.
"Come on, adventurers. It's time to paste the mission in the morning.”The male employee's loud voice echoed throughout the hall, drowning out the noise of the adventurers.
"It's finally here." The adventurers 'expressions changed on the spot. They cheered loudly, kicked away their stools, and rushed to the notice board.
After all, adventurers were an unstable profession that could not even afford to eat if they did not get a job. They needed to seize every opportunity to get paid. Those who had more money on hand valued the additional evaluation based on the completion of the mission. That was the social contribution they needed to advance to a higher level because the adventurer's level was equivalent to their social credit. This was the same for all adventurers. No matter how powerful or courageous they were, they would never hand important missions to adventurers with low trust levels.
"There are commissions suitable for the white porcelain level…so cheap, I don't want to clean the drain today.”
"I can't. Didn't the orientation guide say that? We need to start from the sewers."
"Give me a magical beast. Don't you have a commission to defeat a magical beast? I want to make a name for myself…"
"I advise you to give up. Your equipment isn't complete enough and isn't strong enough. It's better to pick a simple commission like catching a thief. The reward isn't bad either.”
"Hey, I saw this commission first.”
"We'll get it first. You go find another one.”
The adventurers scrambled to tear down the letter of appointment from the notice board. The hall was filled with curses, and the newbies who were a step slower were pushed out of the crowd. Then, they roared and rushed into the crowd again to fight. It was not until ten minutes later that the many adventurers gathered in the hall gradually dispersed. Some were alone, and some were in groups of two or three, preparing to set off. They adjusted their equipment, bought food and consumables, and collected information in advance. There was a lot of work to be done in order to complete the commission. Since he was in this profession, he could not relax.
It was almost nine o'clock in the morning. When the last few adventurers in the guild were still there, Gongyou, Hilo, and Luana slowly rode from the main road to the entrance of the guild. After tying the five inferior horses to the wooden poles specially used to stop the horses and paying a few copper coins as a temporary luggage fee, the three of them crossed the open door and entered the guild hall.
If they wore heavy makeup and branded clothes under the big banyan tree in the countryside, they would look very different. However, in the financial center of an international metropolis, they would naturally get along with each other. At this moment, other than two novice adventurers who looked at the three of them with envy, the other senior adventurers were doing their own things. They only paid the three of them minimal attention.
Therefore, the three of them successfully walked to the notice board and looked at the remaining seven commissions on it. They slowly chose their targets. After removing the " monster investigation " commission that could only be accepted by Intermediate and above, there were only two commissions that were suitable for the three of them. They were " protect crops and clean up the possible wild beasts in the surroundings " and " escort the truck to the sea capital in the east."
The first one was entrusted to a village dozens of kilometers away from the city, and the second one was entrusted to an independent merchant group affiliated with a small chamber of commerce. However, the request was to help load and unload goods, and they did not accept White Porcelain Adventurers. Just thinking about how the Sea Capital was hundreds of kilometers away from the City of Agriculture, the three of them frowned together.
"I can only choose to go to that village. It's just that the reward is so low.”Luana muttered to herself in a low mood. Hiro, who was beside her, nodded helplessly.
Actually, Gong You didn't think it was a big deal. He never looked at the reward when he accepted a commission, and this kind of low-paying commission usually had a good social contribution. In order to accumulate more contribution points and increase his level as soon as possible, this 'crop protection' commission was not bad.
After that, Luana took down the commission from the notice board and took it to the counter. They had a rare leisurely look at the decoration of the hall. It looked much better than the one in Border Town. There were many oil paintings of famous adventure teams on the walls. The space in the room was also larger. The stools for adventurers to rest were specially wiped, making the overall environment more comfortable.
At this time, Luana had already finished the commission with the counter lady. The counter lady was seriously instructing the two women,"100 copper coins per person per day during the care period.(40 RMB), food and accommodation are provided for. If crops are destroyed by wild beasts, no relevant remuneration will be paid. However, for every wild beast killed, an additional remuneration will be paid, ranging from 50 copper coins to 2 silver coins (20 RMB to 100 RMB) per wild beast. Also, I heard that wolves often attack passing tourists nearby. Please be careful when you go there.”
"Since there are wolves in the range of people's activities, why hasn't anyone issued a mission to hunt down the wolves?”Hilo asked doubtfully. After all, since the wolves had taken the initiative to attack humans, they should immediately retaliate and kill them. This did not apply to the doctrine of 'killing innocent and harmless lifeforms wantonly.'
" There was once a chamber of commerce that issued a commission, but the adventurers accepted it and chased the wolves in the mountains for two days without stopping them..." The lady at the counter explained a little embarrassedly. After all, not being able to complete the commission was a rare stain on the guild. She then explained in a low voice," In short, the few people can't kill them. If there are too many people, the wolves will hide. As for those high-level adventurers... They didn't take the commission because they didn't want the small reward, so the commission was canceled in the end.”
After touring the hall, Gong You happened to walk to the counter. He glanced at the beautiful lady at the counter and realized that she was actually a mixed-blood of the forest and human. There was a sharp tip on the top of her ears that extended outwards. It was a characteristic of her race, and it was impossible to determine her age because of her special race. However, from her mature and steady tone of voice, she should not be too young.
"If we kill a wolf pack during the commission, can it be counted as social contribution?”What he really cared about was the evaluation of the adventurer's contribution to society that could not be bought with money.
"Hmm? Of course you can. You still have the corresponding contribution points, but the wolf hunting commission has been revoked, so there is no reward for you.”When the counter lady saw the same golden boot emblem on the cloak that Gongyou was wearing, she immediately knew that the three of them were actually in the same team, so she answered his sudden question.
"That's good. Hilo, Luana, let's go. I can't wait to test my hand on those wolves.”Gong You smiled as he said those cruel words. However, no one who had a good impression of the wolves who dared to attack humans raised any objections. Let their blood and bones be the witness of the new magic.
The two women did not refute this because they knew that the wolves would not be able to escape if they were targeted by Gong You.
.
The Inferior Horse's backpack had already been filled with enough supplies for a few days when they went to the Chamber of Commerce in the morning. Therefore, the three of them immediately rode out of the city after leaving the guild. Moreover, because most of the Adventurer's Guilds were built near the city gate, the three of them followed the traffic and quickly passed through the city gate. After leaving the stone road in the city, they were on a bumpy dirt path. Fortunately, they did not have to suffer from the bumpy ride.
There were many carriages coming and going on the dirt road that they had just left the City of Agriculture. The three of them had no choice but to control their inferior horses to leave the road and let them run in the wilderness. This way, they could travel much faster. As they got further and further away from the City of Agriculture, the number of carriages on the road gradually decreased. Only villages could be seen along the dirt road from time to time.
Half an hour later, the three of them and five horses entered the hilly area. Occasionally, they could see shepherds herding sheep on the distant hills, and small black shadows that looked like shepherd dogs running happily. This made the three of them slow down and admire the scenery along the way. There was also a slight warm wind blowing. All of this made them feel happy. In front of them were horses, girls, grasslands, and the sky.
After another ten minutes, the inferior horse made a turn along the edge of the hill. The first thing it saw was a small forest. As it continued forward, it gradually became a thicket, then a shrub. Finally, it could not even find any tall plants. The ground was filled with weeds. It seemed that trees only grew near the hill.
More than an hour after leaving the City of Agriculture, the three of them saw a large piece of farmland from afar. There were farmlands everywhere, and in the middle of the endless fields was the small village where the client was located. They followed the omniscient navigation and led the way. They carefully avoided the fields and rode into the village under the eyes of the villagers.
The three of them found an open space in the village and stopped. Just as they were about to find a place to tie the reins, they were met by the village chief who had heard the news and rushed over. He was a middle-aged strong farmer who had not entered the old age. The village chief was overjoyed when he saw the three of them wearing cloaks with the same coat of arms. He immediately went forward to introduce himself. The three of them then took out a copy of the commission form and handed it to him. Then, he led them to an empty and simple house in the village and stopped.
"You can stay here temporarily. This family is no longer here.”The village chief looked at the house and said with nostalgia, making the three of them a little curious.
"What do you mean by 'not here'?”Hilo asked curiously. Luana seemed to have guessed something and didn't say anything.
"The man from this family went into the mountains to hunt and didn't come back. Then, the other hunters who went to search the next day saw the remains of the missing man in the mountains. He was killed by a wild boar. After that, the family scattered and ran away.”The village chief explained calmly. Although it was not a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, such accidental deaths of villagers still happened from time to time in poor villages.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to reply to this topic. They accepted the arrangement of temporarily staying in this house. After they settled down the inferior horses and luggage, they sat down and quietly listened to the village chief's introduction of the details of the commission. In short, it was a lot of trouble. Not only were there wolves, wild boars, giant bears, and other wild beasts that were active frequently in the vicinity, but there were also birds that often flew over to steal crops, making it impossible for the villagers to guard against them. Moreover, traces of small and low-level magical beasts were discovered in the surroundings.
The village chief only confessed honestly after he pointed out that the 'possible existence of wild beasts' that the village chief had concealed was inconsistent with the commission. At least half of the commission to 'protect crops' was a lie. The real purpose of the village to find adventurers was to deal with the wild beasts nearby. However, the reward for hunting wild beasts was too high for the village to afford, so they used the excuse of protecting crops to trick the adventurers into coming to the village.
The three of them were very angry. The two girls were afraid of accidents and even persuaded Gong You to give up the mission and return to the City of Agriculture. However, after the village chief said that the report would be truthful, he persuaded the two girls to stay. Anyway, the most time-consuming and difficult task for other adventurers was to find the beast. For him, it was zero cost and no difficulty. Therefore, the best choice was to complete the mission as soon as possible before returning.
It was not noon yet after the village chief left, so the three of them decided to go to the village to familiarize themselves with the environment. Every time they passed by the villagers who were working, they would warmly greet the three of them. It seemed that they had already learned from the village chief that the three of them were here to hunt wild beasts. They strolled along the country road in the fields. The three of them were like lovers on a date, strolling leisurely in the wheat fields. Hilo's mood gradually improved. She looked around happily among the wheat seedlings. Everything she saw was novel. Having lived in the orphanage since she was young, she was quite curious about any scenery in the outside world.
On the other hand, Luana, who had a lively personality, looked listless. She had seen this kind of rural scenery since she was young and had long been tired of it. To her, the wheat fields were not as beautiful as the magic stone street lamps in the city. Listening to the other two people's enthusiastic discussion about the countryside made her feel even more depressed. Even when asked, she only responded lazily. Although her eyes reflected the strange and familiar muddy path, she was looking forward to the clean and tidy streets in the town.
After walking around the village and returning to the house, it was almost noon. At this time, the village chief's wife came to deliver food, and the three of them accepted it gratefully. The food in the village was naturally not as good as the best hotel restaurant in the City of Agriculture. There was only a pot of vegetable soup with little salt and no oil and a few pieces of bread. However, the three of them were used to bringing a lot of high-quality jerky when they went out. Now that they were soaking in soup and chewing it, they felt much more delicious. There was no need to complain.
After resting for a while after dinner, the three of them rode on their horses and prepared to go into the forest to kill the wolves. The two girls knew that Gongyou was a sage and could easily find the traces of the wolves, so they obediently followed Gongyou into the forest a few kilometers away. When they passed by the outskirts of the farm, Luana pointed at the birds not far away and said," Gongyou, those birds seem to be the doves that the village chief mentioned. I've seen them in my hometown. They like to steal crops the most.”
When he looked over, he saw that the birds were gathered on the fence. At first glance, there were at least a dozen of them. They were not afraid when they realized that the three of them were observing them from afar. They just stared at the three of them. This made him sneer. They were really a bunch of reckless little things. So he left behind a sentence,"I'll be back soon." Then he immediately rode his horse and sprinted, trying to close the distance between the two.
When the birds were within ten meters of him, they were finally afraid. They flapped their wings and flew high, circling ten meters above the ground as they moved towards the forest in the distance. However, it was too late for them to run. His left hand continued to grip the reins, while his right hand raised his palm to face the birds. He activated the spell slot in the magic net connected to his mind and chose a new spell he had obtained yesterday. He silently cast the spell,'Mask of the Wise.' All living things underground…sound a wonderful horn…weave the power of ten thousand stones and sweep through thousands of troops, Stone Roar.
After the spell slot was activated and the incantation was loaded, the surrounding ground suddenly sprung up like water. A large number of stones and soil jumped off the ground and quickly gathered into hundreds of stone balls that were smaller than a fist. A moment later, the stone balls were thrown into the sky as if they were thrown by an invisible stone rope. In an instant, the birds were covered by the dense stone balls and were hit into a rain of flesh and blood. As the stone ball floated in the area tens of meters in front of him.
The official name of this Intermediate Spell was Stone Hail. It could be used to collect rocks and sand from the surroundings to make a stone ball that looked like a hailstone. Then, it would be launched to attack the target. Although the power of a single stone ball was not great, and shields or armor could defend against this attack, it had full destructive power against an unarmored target. Even wolves would suffer a headache if they were hit by the stone hail. It was definitely a great killing weapon on the battlefield.
While Gongyou was pacifying his horse, which had been frightened by the hailstones, Hilo and Luana rode to his side. The three of them looked at the bloody flock of birds on the ground and were speechless. After a while, when the villagers nearby heard the commotion and came to clean up the blood on the ground, he left as the vanguard horse. The two women followed silently. After riding for a long time, Luana said to him," Gongyou, don't use this kind of magic when hunting wolves later. If the fur is damaged, it's worthless."”
Gongyou had thought that Luana had some good advice, but who knew that she was more concerned about the value of the wolf skin. The wolves were still alive and kicking, but she already regarded them as trophies. This made him feel amused. As expected of her. However, he still agreed with her opinion. It was not that he needed the wolf skin, but it would be inconvenient to collect the corpses if it was too bloody.
Ten minutes after leaving the village, they reached the edge of the forest. The three of them slowed down their horses and entered the forest. They were still two kilometers away from the temporary habitat of the wolves that Omniscient had pointed out. During the journey, Luana found several herbs that were effective in stopping bleeding and headaches. She then explained to them," which can be eaten,"" which can't be eaten,"" which I didn't see," and so on. Hilo, who had lived in the small town since he was young, even took note of them very seriously, so that he didn't feel nervous about hunting at all.
If it was a wolf that acted alone, it would not be enough to put a trained adventurer into a difficult battle. However, the danger of a wolf pack that gathered together would increase in one breath. The scary thing about a wolf pack was that they would cooperate in a collective attack. Even if they tried their best to defeat a few of them or injure most of them, they would unknowingly be injured and gradually lose their strength. Therefore, many novices would exhaust their strength before they could react. In the end, they would lose their lives before they could even escape.
Luana wasn't completely ignorant of the Adventurer's rules, but she still couldn't be nervous. After all, the three of them had more than ten enchanted equipment. The 30 magic scrolls that were replenished yesterday were now in their wallets on Shiloh's right waist, and the 20 magic scrolls that were left behind were on Shiloh's left waist. The firepower was a little excessive, and there might not even be 50 wolves in total.
The three of them went around the wolf pack and hid 300 meters away. They tied the five horses to a tree and hid on foot. This time, Luana walked in front and turned to Gongyou and Hilo from time to time." Gongyou, don't use the Flame Sword later. No, don't even use the sword. If the wolf skin is damaged, it won't be easy to sell it. Hilo too, don't use the scroll. It will damage the quality of the wolf skin."”
Gongyou and Hilo exchanged glances, then nodded helplessly. It seemed that Luana wanted to perform alone today. She had become arrogant after obtaining the magic beast leather armor and thought that she could fight a wolf pack alone. However, the two of them had no intention of stopping her. After all, it was only a few dozen wolves. If she couldn't defeat them, the two of them could still make it in time.
So the three of them walked towards the wolf pack's habitat. When the gray wolves on guard outside found Luana, she was already within 30 meters of the wolf pack. With the gray wolf's warning, the entire wolf pack was alarmed. At this time, she had already begun to charge. The enchanted boots provided her with a powerful boost. She went from static to dynamic, crossing 30 meters in two seconds. Finally, she kicked the side of the wolf that pounced. Its internal organs were directly crushed. When it tumbled to the ground, it was already unable to stand up. It could only glare at the brown-haired girl who had ambushed them with hatred.
By the time Gong You and Hilo, who had been shaken off, rushed over to help Luana, she had already killed five gray wolves. All of them had no external injuries but died from internal injuries. Two of them had their skulls shattered, their brains shattered, and then pierced by bone fragments. They died miserably. After the enchantment equipment made up for the difference in gender, she was as fierce as a female tyrannosaurus.
At this time, the wolves had already surrounded Luana and started to launch a joint attack. Every time, at least three wolves would pounce at the same time and bite at the hands or feet, which were easy to bite. However, these resistance were useless. Two of them were killed by her in the air. Although the third wolf bit her calf, it could not bite through the enchanted leather armor. Instead, it was kicked by her foot as a weapon and smashed into the next wave of wolves. The adult gray wolves, which were slightly heavier than her, were as light as leaves on her feet. They were beaten up and flew everywhere in an instant.
When the wolves noticed that Common and Hilo were approaching, two gray wolves immediately came out from the periphery of the encirclement to hold them back. It seemed that even wild beasts understood the principle of concentrating their strength and defeating them one by one. When the two wolves were about three meters away from Common, they were suppressed by the passive spell of the dragon scales, making them unable to move. However, when he saw that Luana was fine, he stood at a distance and confronted the wolves.
At this time, the battle in the encirclement was getting more and more intense. Under the effect of the enchanted belt, Luana was like a monster with unlimited physical strength. Every punch of hers had the strength of a thousand pounds of enchanted gloves, and every kick could kill a gray wolf with the help of enchanted boots. In addition, her skilled martial arts made her movements agile and nimble. A straight punch could break the head of a gray wolf, a swing of her arm could shatter the internal organs and bones of a gray wolf that passed by, and a knee could break the gray wolf's ribs and pierce its heart and lungs. There was only one person, but she had the advantage. The only flaw was that every round of wolf attacks would tear off a part of the ordinary martial arts suit on her enchanted leather armor. Although she did not suffer any injuries, she looked very funny because of the tattered clothes.
The same magic beast leather armor, when worn by Gong You, would make him face seven or eight gray wolves, but when worn by Luana, it could cut through the wolf pack without equal. No matter how many wolves there were, they would not be able to break through her defensive movements and defeat her because of the lack of attack area.
Gradually, the wolves realized that Luana's enchanted leather armor was indestructible, so they bit more at her neck and head. However, with her martial arts skills, how could she let the wolves succeed? She could avoid or protect her vital points with a small step or elbow attack. In less than five minutes, when there were less than ten wolves left, the wolves timidly chose to retreat.
However, how could Luana let them go so easily? She took the opportunity to take out the throwing knife tied to her thigh and threw it four times, leaving four gray wolves behind. One of them was even hit in the ass by the throwing knife when it was running away. It wailed and fell to the ground, not daring to move, making Gongyou feel sad for it. In the end, she was not satisfied and chased after it.
However, Common Cause's reaction was not slow either. Although he was too lazy to chase after the fleeing wolves, he still had time to raise his arm and cast another new spell he had obtained last night before they ran out of his vision. The Mask of the Wise Man, the underground creatures... The sleeping Hell Palace... Broken and continued, the barrier broke, and the Rock Spike.
Just like when he used the Hail Stone, the ground bounced like water, and a large number of broken stones jumped out. However, this time, they did not form a large number of stone balls, but formed a single weapon. It was a long spear as hard as rock. Its diameter was as thick as a thigh, its length was close to two meters, and its weight was more than 130 kilograms. This was the new magic rock spear that he was using at this time.
After the rock spear was completed, it immediately shot out in the direction of the target. Its initial speed was more than 230 meters per second (4e6J). The trees it encountered along the way were shattered, and even the gray wolves that had escaped 100 meters were smashed into pieces. This power was probably enough to pierce through an elephant. Ordinary shields and armor could not stop it.
The remaining wolves had already scattered and fled. Although Luana had caught up with them and killed another wolf, the wolves that had fled in other directions had already left the sight of the three of them. They could use Omniscience to lock on to them and hunt them down separately, but he was not in the mood to do such an inefficient thing. At this time, Hilo, who was slow to react, had just taken out a magic scroll. When he could not find the traces of the wolves, he quietly put the scroll back into his pocket.
When Luana came back with the wolf carcass that was heavier than her, she glared at Gong You, who was laughing at her tattered martial arts suit like a beggar. Fortunately, Gong You had put a set of spare clothes in his enchanted backpack. After Luana changed into it, she finally covered her enchanted leather armor that looked like a tight-fitting suit. However, she looked even more heroic in men's clothes.
After the three of them cleaned up the battlefield, they found that there were a total of thirty-two wolves. Other than three that had escaped and one that had been shattered by magic, they had obtained a total of twenty-eight relatively complete wolf corpses. Even if each of them weighed fifty kilograms on average, the total weight was 1,400 kilograms, or 1.4 tons.
After discussing for a while, they finally decided to bring the five inferior horses over first. Then, they would cut down wood to make a few simple carriages and transport all the wolf corpses back to the village to be sold. The five carriages that were made were very simple, but they could still be used to transport the wolf corpses. Therefore, the three of them slowly rode the horses and pulled the carriages back to the village. After calculating, they realized that they had left the village less than two hours ago. Compared to the adventurers who had spent days without any results in the past, The efficiency of the three hunting wild beasts was ridiculously high.
After returning to the village, the village chief gathered some of the villagers who were watching the fun to discuss. In the end, the village chief decided to buy all the wolf corpses at the price of 5 silver coins (250RMB) per corpse. Although Luana was not satisfied with the price, the village could not gather more coins for the time being, so she had to agree to the deal. After all, it was useless to keep them.
.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was only around three o'clock in the afternoon, they decided to attack again. This time, their targets were wild boars and bears. After riding for 20 minutes, the three of them arrived at another forest. As soon as they entered the forest, they found the beast trail left by the wild boar. After confirming that it was a " killer wild boar " with omniscience, the three of them followed the footprints and finally found the wild boar's figure after more than ten minutes. At this time, the wild boar was frightened by the sound of hooves and was lowering its head to make a threatening gesture. It looked aggressive, but the three of them were too lazy to even dismount and defend themselves. They rode on the inferior horse and leisurely discussed how to deal with it.
"Let me use the Wind Wall Shield to block it later?”
"No need, watch me punch it away.”
"Miss Luana, let me block it with the holy wall.”
"I can stop it. It's definitely not as strong as me.”
"Louanna, let Hilo do it, don't get your clothes dirty.”
"Humph."
In the end, Luana still listened to Common Cause's advice and did not choose to confront them head-on. Just as the three of them came to a conclusion, the wild boar, perhaps angered by their attitude, charged at the five inferior horses that were even taller than it. Hiro, who was already prepared, raised his staff and prayed," Merciful Mother Earth, please use your power of the earth to protect the fragile us.”
As Hilo's prayers triggered the miracle of the holy wall, a pale white transparent wall suddenly lit up in front of the three people and five horses. At this time, the wild boar had no time to turn around. It rushed forward and slammed into the holy wall. This miracle that could even block the stone bullets thrown by the catapult was naturally not something it could destroy. Its nose twisted and its fangs tilted as it hit the wall. Then, its head tilted and it fainted on the ground.
The three of them got off their horses and walked over to take a look. However, just as the three of them were looking at the wild boar at a close distance, the wild boar suddenly bent its hooves and tried to stand up. It turned out that the moment before it hit the Holy Wall, it tried its best to slide on the soil to slow down and reduce the impact damage. After lying down for a while, it had already recovered. However, Luana was standing beside it. Seeing that it still dared to resist, she immediately grabbed its head with both hands and threw it over her shoulder.
The wild boar weighed about 180 kilograms, but it was as light as a feather in Luana's hands. Her neck was broken and she died immediately without a grunt. She clapped her hands and showed off to Gongyou and Hilo." I've always wanted to try this. My father always said that I'm a girl with weak strength and it's impossible for me to complete the shoulder throw.”
He felt that the reason why Luana was able to throw the wild boar, which was three times her weight, over her shoulder was not because she was skilled, but because she had enchanted equipment. Her father's experience should be right. However, seeing her smug expression, he did not expose her and let her continue to be smug for a while.
After that, the three of them cut wood and made a dragging board. After pulling the wild boar, they continued to search in the forest without stopping. Or rather, they could directly rely on omniscience to locate it. In just 20 minutes, they rode to the vicinity of a bear nest. Two adult bears had already left the nest to attack the three of them after hearing the sound of the dragging board scratching the ground.
These two bears were not magical beasts, but they were much taller than the bears on Earth. They were definitely more than two meters tall when they stood up, and they were not much shorter than the three people riding on the inferior horses. To be on the safe side, they dismounted and fought together with Luana. They even asked Hilo to lead the horses to the rear and be ready to support them at any time.
However, Luana started to act shamelessly again. She suggested to the general," One for each of us. Let's see who can finish off their opponents faster. Also, don't use swords or magic to destroy their fur."”
"Alright, whoever loses will agree to one of the other party's requests.”Gong You thought for a moment. Although the conditions were unfavorable to him, they were not much different. Therefore, he initiated a bet with Luana. After all, whoever lost would not suffer a loss.
"Alright." Luana immediately agreed to the bet and rushed out without giving him any time to react. She wanted to be the first to take action and gain the advantage.
However, Gong You only smiled casually and didn't protest. Instead, he was interested in her shameless methods. Then, he didn't even pull out his sword and slowly walked towards another giant bear. At this time, the giant bear was also running towards him, but when the giant bear was within three meters of him, its body suddenly stopped. It was suppressed by the dragon scale armor. He took the opportunity to run two steps forward and pressed his right hand, which was wearing the lightning ring, on the giant bear's body.
There was no special effect of the electric arc flashing. With just a simple press, the giant bear's entire body twitched a few times before it fell to the ground. Its consciousness had been scattered by the electric shock, its muscles were paralyzed, and its heart had been stopped by the electric shock. It had become a complete vegetable bear. Although it did not die immediately, it had already begun to die. If it was not rescued within five minutes, it would definitely die.
After defeating the bear, she turned around to watch Luana's 'Beauty and the Beast' performance. At this moment, she was holding the bear's claws with both hands, and the two of them were engaged in the most primitive wrestling. After a moment, she began to gain the upper hand and broke the joints of its arms. Then she raised her foot and kicked it in the chest, sending it flying for a few meters before falling and rolling on the tree roots. If you looked closely, you could see that its chest was sunken, and its heart must have stopped beating.
However, just as Luana turned to look at Gong You, she realized that he was smiling at her. The other bear had already collapsed beside him and was motionless. She said in disbelief," How can you be faster than me? You must have cheated."”
Hearing this, Gongyou really wanted to hit Luana's head hard, but he was afraid that she would explode. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and waved his hand to signal Shiloh to bring his horse over. Then, he ignored Luana, who was still arguing,"You must have cheated,""Did you use some new magic," and "I won't lose in martial arts," and once again began to pull out his sword and chop wood to make a carriage.
"Mr. Gongyou, there seem to be a few little bears there. How should we deal with them?”Hilo walked to Gongyou's side and asked, pointing at the giant bear cave in the distance. There were a few little bears curiously looking in their direction.
"Don't worry about them. We'll go back after we pull down the two big bears.”Gong You only raised his head to look at the little bears before speaking calmly to Hiro.
"Yes." Hilo also felt that she should let the little bears go. It was against the doctrine to kill innocent creatures wantonly. Of course, if she really wanted to kill them, she could find enough reasons to avoid the doctrine.
"Hey, did you two hear what I said? Don't ignore me.”Luana came up and said. Compared to the bears, she was more concerned about the outcome of the bet.
"Miss Luana, you lost.”Hilo spoke the truth without mercy. Although she did not want Luana to lose, she believed that Gongyou would not make unacceptable demands. She trusted him.
"Alright, alright, let's just treat it as a draw.”Gong You consoled her helplessly. He hadn't thought of what he wanted from Luana, so he just treated the fight as a joke.
"No, a loss is a loss. If you have any requests, just say it. I definitely won't go back on my word.”After hearing Gong You's words, Luana took the initiative to admit to the bet. In fact, she also believed that he would not make excessive demands, so she agreed immediately.
"Then…I haven't decided yet. Let's talk about it in the future.”He thought for a moment before replying. He didn't know what request he should make, so he simply skipped this matter.
"Alright, you can tell me when you've thought it through in the future. What I promised you will always be effective.”Luana patted her chest and promised. She actually liked this kind of occasional fun.
When the carriage was ready and the prey was secured with a rope, the three men and five horses pulled the three new carriages back to the village. However, when they were about to leave the forest, they suddenly stopped. He had just asked Omniscient if there were any wild beasts in the forest that threatened the villagers, but he learned that there was a more dangerous python nearby. This made him decide to take a detour to deal with the snake.
After explaining the situation to the two women, although the two women were very afraid of hunting snakes, they still decided to follow them. Therefore, the three of them turned around and rushed for more than ten minutes. They found the huge python that was frightened by the noise of the dragging plate rubbing against the ground and was running away. They saw a python that stretched more than ten meters and had a diameter of nearly thirty centimeters in the distant forest. After it realized that it could not run away, it said, He immediately coiled his body into a spiral and raised his head high, opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue at the three of them in a threatening gesture.
Of course, he knew that the python was relying on the heat perception of its tongue to lock onto the three of them. In addition, the two women hated snakes, so he did not get too close. Instead, he activated his spell slot from afar and shot a rock spear at the python from dozens of meters away. The powerful rock spear passed through the snake formation and directly smashed the python into five or six pieces of varying lengths.
After confirming that the python was dead through omniscience, the three of them rode close to the bloodstained ground and carried the snake's body onto the carriage. When they returned to the village after cleaning up the scene, it was almost six o'clock. The three of them walked through the wheat field outside the village with the smell of blood. At this time, the villagers were gathered by the village chief to dispose of the wolf's body on the open space by the river outside the village. The three of them immediately pulled the carriage and rushed over.
The village chief was also among the villagers cleaning and skinning the wolf carcasses. He heard the sound of the carriage moving from afar and immediately put down what he was doing to welcome the three of them. However, he saw that the three carriages were full of wild beast carcasses, so he could only buy them all according to the agreement. Fortunately, the village chief had communicated with the villagers beforehand and the entire village had gathered some money to share. Otherwise, the village chief would not be able to buy these prey. However, what was with the mountain of copper coins? Fortunately, the village chief took out his precious gold coins to exchange for it. Otherwise, the weight ratio of copper coins to gold coins would be more than 7,000 times. The three of them would not be able to carry the heavy copper coins away.
In the end, the result of their discussion was 10 silver coins for the wild boars, 20 silver coins for each bear, and 40 silver coins for all the pythons. A total of 90 silver coins (4,500 RMB). After calculating in their hearts, they found that the total income from today's hunt was 11,500 RMB. On average, the three of them had a high salary of 100,000 RMB per month, which had already reached the minimum standard for high-level adventurers.
The three of them together could earn enough money to buy a piece of common enchanted equipment in a month. This kind of abnormal income for low-level Adventurers was due to today's exception. The three of them had almost killed all the harmful wild beasts in the surrounding area to achieve such an exaggerated daily income. In the future, unless the three of them changed villages to hunt every day, the income of the Jungler would not be so high.
After the prey was handed over, the three of them sat by the river and watched the villagers hurry to deal with the carcasses. They skinned the beasts and made clothes. Then, they picked out the edible meat and cut it up and washed it. The parts with medicinal value were also kept separately. A lot of pots and pans that were borrowed urgently were placed on the ground. Some villagers even took out edible salt to smear the meat. There was no freezer here for the villagers to store meat. They could only dry it normally to preserve it.
At this moment, a villager saw their five inferior horses eating in the weeds, so he took a salt jar to feed them. He asked the villagers and found out that horses needed enough salt to fatten up after a long period of exercise. As the seasoning he brought was only enough for three people, he proposed to buy some salt from the villagers to feed the horses. However, the villagers said that this salt was a gift for him and would not charge him. This made him feel that the villagers were actually very simple... If the villagers had not lowered the price of the prey to such a low level, he would have believed it.
.
As dusk approached, the villagers invited the three of them to the open space in the middle of the village to roast meat on the spot. The accompanying dishes included beast bone vegetable soup and internal organs stewed potatoes. The three of them were invited to have a pleasant meal with the villagers. After the meal, the village chief came to look for the three of them and said that he had something to discuss. Therefore, he moved to the village chief's house. The village chief took out a magic beast illustrated book and pointed out that the short-horned rats and bloody scarlet bees had appeared in the surrounding areas of the village. He hoped that the three of them would go and fight.
After careful inspection, they discovered that the short-horned rats were similar to pangolins with sharp horns and could jump and pounce. Their eyes were scarlet, and each adult weighed an average of four to six kilograms. They also had the racial consciousness of moving in groups.
"Isn't this a pangolin? However, it had an extra horn and red eyes.”Gongyou complained. He took a picture of the pangolin and synthesized it into a single horn. It turned out to be a new type of magical beast. He wondered which god had cut corners when designing the magical beast.
"Mister Gongyou, what is a pangolin?”Hilo asked curiously. This name sounded so mighty and domineering.
"Oh, it's a kind of rat that can dig holes in my hometown.”He had calmly fooled them. Although they were not rats, they could dig holes, so it was not a problem to call them rats. After all, no one in this world knew the truth.
"How do we catch such a big rat? Can a cat beat it?" Luana was also very curious about the pangolin that Gongyou mentioned, but her question made him speechless.
After skipping this topic, he carefully looked at the illustration of the Bloody Scarlet Bee. He found that it was no different from ordinary bees except for the color difference. It was not until he read the text description below the picture that he realized that this magical beast was indeed terrifying. This was because their standard size was about the size of a sparrow, and they were extremely aggressive. They would take the initiative to attack when humans passed by their habitat. What was even more terrifying was that they would move in groups when hunting. When dozens of them attacked together, Even high-level adventurers would have a headache.
"After the little bee turned into a big bee, it was not cute at all.”Gong You ridiculed again. This time, he directly took the photo of the bee and enlarged it to a larger size. After changing the red coating, he actually said that it was a new type of magical beast.
"Mister Gongyou, bees are beneficial insects.”Hilo said she knew what bees were, and sometimes she even saw them in the temple garden.
"That thing can't be a beneficial insect." Although he knew that bees were beneficial insects, he could not associate a bee the size of a sparrow with a beneficial insect.
"Yes, honey is very delicious. Why don't we go and find out tomorrow if those magical beasts can also brew honey?”Luana recalled the wild honey that she could often eat in her hometown when she was young, and she immediately had the idea of the Bloody Scarlet Bee.
Gong You looked at Luana, the little glutton, speechlessly. Other people would have had no time to run for their lives when they saw the Bloody Scarlet Bees, but she treated them as a tool bee for brewing honey. However, if he could get his hands on their honey, he wouldn't mind tasting it. It shouldn't be poisonous to death, right?
After looking at the illustrated guide, the three of them bid farewell to the village chief and said that they would go to see the situation of the two magical beasts tomorrow before deciding whether to attack them. Then, the three of them returned to the abandoned house. Fortunately, they had asked the villagers to clean the house in the afternoon, so the house was still relatively clean. However, the two women expressed strong protests about the lack of toilets here.
There was only a simple fence around the house, and the inside of the fence was considered a courtyard. The five inferior horses were tied to a wooden stake that was newly nailed in the afternoon. The house itself was only one story, and the roof was a low, slanted herringbone structure. The interior was divided into three parts: the living room, the right kitchen, and the left bedroom. Now, the interior was bare and there was no other furniture. The bedroom was covered with a layer of wooden planks, and the three of them decided to set up a tent on the wooden planks for the night. That's right. They set up a tent in the bare bedroom, and with the help of the Illumination Stone, they converted the kitchen into a temporary bathroom at the request of the two girls. Since there was no well in the courtyard, the three of them did not even have time to take a shower. They could only use the Cleaning Stone to clean their bodies and clothes before squeezing into a tent to sleep. After activating the Barrier Stone to cover the house, there was no need to arrange for a night watch.
.
At midnight, the three of them were awakened by the howling of horses and wolves in the courtyard. They also found that the Barrier Stone was in a high-intensity state of being attacked. He hurriedly got out of the tent and picked up the equipment that was neatly arranged on the luggage beside him. Luana, who was also woken up and climbed out of the tent, couldn't care less. She directly took off her pajamas and put on the magical beast leather armor in front of him. Hilo was faster than the two of them because she slept in a holy robe. It was too troublesome to see him wearing equipment. He even helped him put on the dragon scales.
In just over a minute, the three of them were neatly dressed and holding the Illumination Stone, pushing open the door of the house and walking out. What appeared in front of the three of them were five inferior horses lying in the courtyard with blood all over the ground, and three gray wolves standing with fierce eyes. They immediately understood what was going on. These were the gray wolves that had escaped in the afternoon. They had come back to seek revenge on the three of them. He found that the gray wolves had turned around and fled after seeing them, so he said to the two women," You guys go check the injuries of the horses. Feed them the healing potion, and I'll go kill those beasts.”
After receiving the replies from the two women, he immediately activated his agility bracelet and increased his running speed to a level slightly faster than the gray wolf. Then, he chased after the gray wolf that had already run far away with the omniscient navigation. When both sides were almost close to the village entrance, the gray wolf realized that he had caught up. He could only scatter and escape from the north, east, and south directions. However, this little trick was ineffective against him. Although he could only chase after the gray wolf one by one because he was afraid that the magic would destroy the villagers 'houses, he could only use the omniscient navigation. In the end, the gray wolf could not escape his pursuit and was burned to 50% by the flaming sword.
After the common cause was solved, he jogged back to his house. Several villagers had already gathered in the courtyard in the dark with oil lamps or candles. The village chief, who had just arrived, was also asking the two women about the situation. When he saw that he had returned, everyone surrounded him and made a ruckus. However, the villagers still made way for the village chief after he dispersed them. Then he had the opportunity to say," Three wolves ran away during the hunting in the afternoon, but I killed them just now. They are near the eastern village entrance.”
After Gongyou said that he didn't want the wolf corpse, the villagers immediately rushed to pick up the leftovers. When he entered the courtyard of the house, Hilo said to him sadly," Mr. Gongyou, there is a horse that we didn't save.”
In fact, the five inferior horses had been bitten through the neck by the gray wolves, but after the two women drank the healing potion, the bleeding quickly stopped. Later, Hilo directly prayed for the miracle to heal all their external injuries, but it was impossible to restore the blood they had lost. In the end, the horse that was first attacked by the gray wolves died of excessive blood loss.
At this time, after the village chief comforted the three people, he actually asked them how much the horse corpse was. This made Gong You so angry that he wanted to beat them up. Therefore, he proposed to find a place to bury the bad horse or directly cremate it. However, he was opposed by all the villagers. After a short argument, the horse corpse was still taken away by the village chief for free. In the end, the three people were in a bad mood. After the villagers carried the horse corpse away, they immediately activated the Barrier Stone to cover the entire courtyard. When Hilo and Luana returned to the bedroom, they were still a little sad. He spent half an hour comforting the two girls before they obediently went into the tent to sleep.
Gong You let his imagination run wild before he went to bed. He realized that he had to calculate his earnings for the day again. Although the jungler had earned more than 10,000, he had lost more than 90,000 from the dead horse. His total earnings were negative 80,000. As expected, being an adventurer was not profitable.
