On the morning of the 17th day, he woke up with a sore back. He did not know if it was because he had gotten up in the middle of the night to chase after the wild wolf and save the horse, but he had caused more than an hour of insomnia and lack of energy in the middle of the night. This morning, even Luana had given up on her morning exercise. However, after half a night of sleep, the two women were no longer overly sad about the death of the inferior horse when they woke up in the morning. They would also play with him when he made them laugh. It seemed that their disappointment had been well alleviated.
Because the kitchen had been converted into a bathroom, the three of them used a portable stove to make breakfast in the courtyard. Although there were still a lot of ingredients in reserve, they felt that it was better to find an opportunity to buy some fresh ones from the village to replenish them. After breakfast, they checked the health of the four inferior horses again and found that they needed to rest for a few days to fully recover due to excessive blood loss.
They greeted the enthusiastic villagers nearby and even gave a few silver coins to the villagers to help take care of the horses. The three of them had no other choice but to carry their heavy backpacks and put on their protective cloaks. Then, they left the village at around eight o'clock in the morning and began their planned trip to explore the magical beasts on foot. They walked towards the habitat of the magical beasts according to the omniscient navigation.
After walking for about an hour and a half, the three of them finally arrived near the hive of the Bloody Scarlet Bees. They hid in a bush far away to observe, and happened to witness a battle between magical beasts. Groups of short-horned rats crawled out from three tunnels on the plain. They formed three lines of attack and rushed to the top of a mound. On the top of the mound was a huge beehive that looked like it was made of amber. The Bloody Scarlet Bees kept surging out of the beehive that was more than twenty meters in diameter and more than ten meters in height. They formed groups of three to five to block the attack of the rats.
From time to time, the scarlet bees would pierce through the gaps in the scales of the short-horned rats with their stinger. Then, the short-horned rat would roll around in pain, even disrupting the rat group's charging formation. From time to time, the scarlet bees would be pounced on by the short-horned rats, and then directly bitten and eaten by the short-horned rats. Usually, for every short-horned rat that was stabbed by the scarlet bees, four or five scarlet bees would be eaten by the rats.
"What are they doing?" Luana asked in horror. Although she had killed dozens of wild beasts with her own hands, she was still frightened to see thousands of magical beasts from the two tribes fighting and eating each other. Especially the scene of the short-horned rats hugging and eating the scarlet bees that they had just caught on the battlefield. It was very terrifying.
At this moment, Hilo, who had curled up into a ball with his cloak, was so scared that his face turned pale. He was dumbfounded that he could not speak, so he could only answer Luanna's question in the same way. He took a deep breath and explained according to the information he had just obtained from Omniscient," One of the short-horned rats 'favorite food is the bloody scarlet bee. The bloody scarlet bee also likes to use the blood of short-horned rats to make blood honey. The two groups often kill each other, so they have lived here for a long time. The size of the tribe is still the same, so it doesn't affect the ecological environment of the surrounding areas…"
According to Omniscient's explanation, short-horned rats were just like ordinary voles. Their reproductive ability was amazing. If a pair of short-horned rats were not restrained and went all out, they could give birth to thousands of young rats every year, and the young rats only needed more than a month to reach adulthood. As for the reproduction ability of the Bloody Scarlet Bees, they were not weaker than ordinary bees. The Bloody Queen Bee could even produce hundreds of eggs every day and did not rest all year round. If all of them survived, they would give birth to at least 100,000 young bees every year. The young bees could also rely on the blood honey brewed from blood to grow rapidly. With enough blood honey, the young bees could mature in a few days at the earliest. While these two tribes were killing each other, they were also restricting each other. They would break out in a war every few days. This was the only way to maintain the balance of the surrounding ecology. If either side was missing, it would not take long for the surrounding wild beasts to be devoured. In the end, in order to find a source of food for the tribe to survive, they would split up and migrate to other regions. If that really happened, a terrifying magical beast tide would form. There was no other way except to mobilize the military forces of all the surrounding towns to suppress it. Therefore, he was now considering whether he should eliminate them. If an accident happened halfway and destroyed the balance between the two types of magical beasts, it would be a crisis that would cause a great disaster.
The two ladies were speechless after listening to Gongyou's explanation. They looked at each other and could only continue to watch the war between the short-horned rats and the scarlet bees. After an hour, the surviving rats began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the surviving bees began to carry the short-horned rats paralyzed by the stinger back to their nests. Both sides were used to this kind of war that broke out every few days.
Gong You's eyes flickered as he watched the two sides stop fighting. He realized that his only chance to exterminate these two groups of magical beasts was right in front of him. Their numbers were at their lowest under normal circumstances. They had just lost a large number of their own kind in the war, and they were at their weakest. If he did not act now, their strength would return to its peak in a few days.
" How many of them are left?』
" Omniscient: 87 adult rats and 953 infant rats of short-horned rats; 447 adult bees and 2385 infant bees of bloody scarlet bees."
" This number…I can kill them.'He silently calculated in his heart. Although the short-horned rat was a magical beast, its strength was only a third or a quarter of that of the common wild beast, the gray wolf. The individual strength of the bloody scarlet bees was even lower. If they did not know how to fly, a random pack of wolves could eat them up. The existence of such a dangerous species was a sin in itself, so it was better to eliminate them as soon as possible. Therefore, the question now was,'Which side should I kill first?''
The two women looked at the common reason for the silent consideration of some problem from the beginning. They waited quietly with great tacit understanding. After a while, he finally thought of a countermeasure, which was to eliminate the rat group first. Because the hive could not run away, when dealing with the bee colony, he only needed to provoke it outside the nest. Even if the Bloody Scarlet Bees were constantly hunted by him, they would not abandon the queen bee and run away alone. However, if an accident happened while hunting the short-horned rats, they would run away separately. Although Omniscience could locate him, it would be very troublesome to chase him down.
After Gongyou finished thinking of a countermeasure, he patted the shoulders of the two women and said seriously," Let's go. We'll first eliminate the surviving short-horned rats and try to kill them all in two days.”
The two women, who had developed trust in him, nodded and followed him. Although they did not know how he was going to kill the short-horned rats hiding underground, they did not doubt that he could not do it because he had already created several miracles. As witnesses and partners, they only needed to listen to his instructions.
One of the caves of the rats was not far from the beehive. The distance between the two was only a little more than a kilometer, so the three of them arrived not long after walking. However, everything on the surface was normal. It was a normal flat terrain. Only people who cheated with omniscience could easily find their hiding place.
After reminding the two girls to get ready for battle, he stretched out his hand to face the top of the rat hole. Actually, he could have done it without reaching out, but he still habitually reached out his hand. He activated the spell slot on the magic net in his mind and chose the mudslide incantation. Everything was automatically activated. He was already very familiar with casting spells.
Half a minute later, the ground began to fluctuate like a lake under the effect of magic. Then, the ground caved in and collapsed because of the structural vacancy of the underground rat hole. However, part of the soil was still flowing steadily. After another half a minute, within a radius of dozens of meters from the rat hole, a large amount of air seeped out from the flowing soil, and the ground caved in at an even faster speed. That was because the short-horned rats had already hollowed out the soil several meters underground. Now, the soil above had become flowing and fell to fill the empty space underground.
The rat hole was gradually filled with soil. Faced with thousands of cubic meters of soil, the young short-horned rats could only hold on for a moment before they were mercilessly crushed to death by the soil. The adult rats struggled to climb up. They also wanted to survive, but the short-horned rats that were deep in the ground when the magic was activated could not hold on to the surface at all. They slowly died from suffocation and pressure. Meanwhile, the short-horned rats that were close to the surface climbed out of the mud vortex and came to the surface.
He counted silently. Out of the 12 adult rats and over 100 young rats, only 7 of them survived. The destructive power of the mudslide spell was fully displayed in the face of the underground creatures. He only needed to wait for the spell to end and then slowly kill the surviving short-horned rats.
The battle was rather boring. Although the scales of the short-horned rats could deflect arrows, they were very weak when faced with fire and electric attacks. Other than their shocking jumping ability, the timid short-horned rat that always wanted to escape gave him some trouble. However, he used his Dexterity Bracelet to chase after it and burned it to death. In contrast, the battle on Luana's side was much more exciting. She broke the spine of the first short-horned rat with a hand knife. Then, he casually pushed away the head of the second short-horned rat and attacked it. Then, he reached out to grab the tail of the third short-horned rat that jumped up. Finally, he swung it up and smashed it on the second short-horned rat that had lost its balance and could not react in time. He could not learn to use monsters as weapons.
After dealing with the nearest rat hole, the three of them continued to bury the rats alive. They then dealt with the second and third rat holes. During the afternoon, the three of them found a place to eat. As they ate, Luana complained that she was covered in the smell of rats. Even if he took out the cleaning magic stone to help her clean it twice, she still felt that it was not clean enough. Helplessly, he had to promise her that he would find a clean river for her to bathe after eliminating the rats. Only then did she regain her smiling expression.
After the meal, they rested for a while as usual before they continued to move. Then, they continued to destroy the last few rat holes without stopping. Just when Gongyou felt that today's operation was completed, he learned from Omniscient that there were seven rat holes that lived alone in the attached plains. There was only one adult rat in each hole. They were stray house rats, and there were male and female rats. However, if they were not killed together, there was still the possibility of a rat plague in the future. Therefore, he could only take the two girls and continue to run. When it came to the last two rat holes, Hilo was too tired to walk even after taking unlimited Energy Serums. He suddenly had the idea of putting the exhausted Hilo into a heavy-duty backpack and continuing to run through the rat holes. Fortunately, the enchanted bracelet was strong enough to keep him from collapsing from running while carrying two large backpacks.
They were busy until five o'clock in the afternoon. They had used up thirteen spell slots for the day, leaving only one spell slot for the day. The short-horned rats around the village were finally wiped out by the three of them. At this time, he only wanted to go back to the village to rest, but Luana was pestering him to take a bath. He could only help the two girls find a clean river that was suitable for washing their bodies. When he reached the river, he realized that Hilo and Luana had already prepared bath supplies in the backpack they had allocated to him. They had probably planned this long before they set off in the morning.
"Gongyou, sit on the tallest rock. You don't have to peek with your back facing us.”Luana instructed Gongyou. She was especially aggressive at times like this, but he couldn't refute her out of politeness.
"Why don't I just go far away and come back to find me after you're done showering?”Gong You glanced at the stone that Luanna mentioned. It was close to the river, so he put forward another suggestion.
"No, if you don't stay where we can see you, how do we know if you're peeking?”Luana pestered, but Hilo didn't object.
As a result, Gong You, who had lost the one-on-two battle, could only sit on a rock with his back to the river. At the highest point of the shore, he looked at the clouds in the sky and thought about the tactical arrangements for tomorrow's battle against the Bloody Scarlet Bees. However, before he could think of a countermeasure, he was annoyed by the sounds of the two girls playing, especially when Luana and Hilo were quietly talking about breast nutrition. He could hear it clearly from three meters away. He really wanted to hold them down and spank them so that she would be disobedient and cause trouble all day long.
After half an hour, the two girls finally finished their shower and went ashore. At this time, because their hair was not dry, they let their hair fall down. Luana did not tie her usual ponytail, and she deliberately showed off her hair in front of Gongyou, which made him even more annoyed. Although the cleaning magic stone could clean stains, it could not maintain hair. This was the real reason why the two girls planned to take a shower by the river.
"Mr. Gongyou, why don't you go down and take a shower?”Shiloh looked at Gong You and said with a bit of embarrassment. Luana didn't object.
"I'm not going to shower. I didn't bring any toiletries.”The common bath tools were placed in the luggage on the horse. Although the enchanted backpack that the three of them carried today could reduce the weight, he was not so free as to bring non-essential items to fight magical beasts.
" Mr. Gongyou, you can use me…" Hilo looked at Gongyou for a while before she said shyly, but before she could finish, Luana stopped her.
"No, I can't let him take advantage of you. It's better to use mine. Anyway, I'll throw it away and replace it with a new one.”Luana angrily stuffed the bath tools into Gongyou's hands and ran away with Shiloh.
Gong You looked at his bath tools, then touched his messy hair after a busy day under the hot sun. Finally, he glanced at the clear river and decided to take the opportunity to take a bath. So he took off his clothes and went into the water. It just so happened that the sun had not set in the summer, and the temperature of the river was still acceptable. This was the most comfortable environment. However, just as he was washing his hair and could not open his eyes, his weak spiritual perception, which had been passively strengthened by several magic books, sensed that he was being watched. Previously, he had used Omniscient to confirm that there were no other intelligent life forms or dangerous animals nearby. After carefully sensing the spiritual feedback, he told him that there were creatures wandering around the rock he was sitting on just now. He was afraid that there were really wild beasts nearby that had barged in and immediately asked Omniscient,'What is that?'，However, he found out that it was Hilo and Luana who were hiding behind the stone. The mischief of these two adolescent girls was really outrageous.
After taking a shower, they returned to the shore. They did not expose the two girls for peeping. After all, some things would be very awkward if they were to say it. As adults, they should be more tolerant and magnanimous. They chose to pretend that nothing had happened. The three of them packed their bags and immediately returned to the village. Today, they had walked a long distance to eliminate the short-horned rats. When they slowly walked back to the village, the sky was already dark. Soon, the sun would completely set below the horizon.
The three of them went to the village chief's house to explain that the short-horned rats had been eliminated. Then, they brought the fresh ingredients they bought from the villagers 'houses back to the house. After dinner, they maintained the equipment under the guidance of Omniscient. Nothing happened that night. The only special thing was that Luana massaged Hilo's sore thigh muscles. Although the Energy Serum could accelerate the recovery of physical strength, it could not completely eliminate the accumulation of foxic acid in the muscles. Then, the two women secretly whispered to each other. However, the three of them were in the same tent at this time. The words in their ears made Gongyou, who wanted to take advantage of his free time to read magic textbooks, unable to calm down.
.
In the early hours of the 18th day, Luana had regained her diligent state of being able to wake up early in the morning to do her morning exercises. It was as if she was not tired after walking so much yesterday. However, Hilo was really exhausted from walking too much. After the sun rose, he still hugged Gongyou's arm tightly and slept soundly. It was not until Luana came back from her morning exercises to pull her out of bed that his arm was released.
After massaging his numb arm for a while, he climbed out of the tent to wash up under Luana's urging. After having breakfast in the yard, he found that the four inferior horses were in a better condition than yesterday morning. It seemed that the villagers who had been entrusted to take care of them yesterday were very attentive. He planned to give the inferior horses an extra 4 silver coins (200 RMB) as a custody fee every day so that they could eat better. Today, he planned to let them rest for another day.
After carrying the necessary supplies, the three of them set out on foot towards the morning sun. The fake Warrior Luanna who liked to throw over her shoulder barehanded, the fake Mage Gongyou who held a sword and a shield and was also a scout, and the fake Priest Hilo who was in charge of damage output and had the thickest armor. This was a very standard Warrior Priest adventure team, and the three of them could always maintain high morale.
"My foot still hurts a little. Do you still have to walk a long way today?”Hilo asked bitterly.
"I've had enough of the filth in the countryside. I really want to go back to the city as soon as possible.”Luana complained angrily.
"Forget it. The rewards of our adventure this time are still negative.”Gong You said gloomily.
Although it was a little unfair for the frail Hilo to travel such a long distance, it was a suicide mission to not bring a nanny along. Luana also needed to be appeased. She was a main member of the adventurer team, so she could only cheer up and say," Everyone, hold on for two more days. When we return to the City of Agriculture in a few days, I'll take you to the commercial street to shop. You can buy whatever you like. I'll pay for all the expenses."”
"Really? You promised not to go back on your word." Luana immediately replied excitedly. She was the happiest to use other people's money to buy her own things.
"This isn't good. Mr. Gongyou is spending too much money.”Hilo's eyes lit up, and then he tactfully expressed it, but he no longer opposed it as clearly as before.
"It's okay. I'm the one who advocated staying here and suffering. You can buy whatever you want when you go back.”Gong You guaranteed that if money could buy morale, then it would be a profit.
"Hilo, just let him pay the bill. He's the one who made you walk so many wrong roads.”Luana also tried to persuade Hilo. Although her reason was very strange, seeing that she had livened up the atmosphere, he decided not to argue with her.
The three of them sped up their pace. Fortunately, the heavy supplies were all packed in their backpacks that were enchanted with gravity resistance. Otherwise, they would not have any extra strength to fight when they arrived at their destination. At around 9:30 in the morning, the three of them returned to the jungle near the Bloody Hornet Nest.
" What is the current number of the target Magical Beasts?』
"Omniscient: 0 adult rats and 0 infant rats of short-horned rats, 812 adult bees and 2411 infant bees of bloody scarlet bees."
In just one day, they had gained over 300 adult Bloody Scarlet Bees. If they had come a day or two later, they might not have been able to defeat them, even if they were an Adventurer team with a full set of Enchanted Equipment. However, they still had time. After observing the pattern of the Scarlet Bees 'movements for a while, he turned to the two women and whispered," Shiloh, when the battle begins, give us three full sets of Wind Armor. Moreover, fire scrolls are not very effective against small targets like the Scarlet Bees. Luana, remember to maintain a triangular formation later. Don't run too far away. Just throw stones at them when you have time. Be ready to support us at any time.”
After the two girls nodded, the three of them took off their backpacks and left them in the bushes. Then, they began to check their equipment and props. When everything was ready, they strolled towards the mound where the hive was located. At this time, a few Bloody Scarlet Bees patrolling in the nearby air realized that someone had invaded their territory and immediately emitted a colorless and odorless biological pheromone.
However, Common Cause's goal was to lure the bees out of the nest. After signaling to Hilo to start stacking their armor, they maintained their formation and continued to walk toward the mound. At this time, Hilo took out three Wind Armor Magic Scrolls and cast them on the three of them. A colorless and transparent wind surrounded the three of them. This wind would not affect their movements, but it would block attacks from the outside.
Before the three of them could reach the bottom of the mound, the scarlet bees had already gathered their massive aerial swarm and started attacking the three of them. The first scarlet bee dived towards the one walking at the front, but when it was within three meters of him, it was immediately suppressed by its spirit and was unable to move. Then, it was blown away by an invisible strong wind half a meter away from him, causing it to lose control and fall to the ground near him. However, this little damage was still unable to knock down the scarlet bee. After a while, it swayed and wanted to continue flying.
At this moment, he had already activated his Flaming Sword and casually slashed at the horde of scarlet bees that were diving down. The sparrow-sized scarlet bees were extremely fragile in front of the Flaming Sword. Basically, if they were scratched by the blade, they would immediately be burned into half a piece of charcoal. The other half of the bee's body was still alive because of the slow heat transfer. However, there were too many of them. No matter how he slashed, there was no obvious reduction. Even the mental suppression of the dragon scale armor could only cause the nearby bees to pause for a few seconds. After that, they would be surrounded again after they broke free from the suppression.
Luana's situation was not any better. She kept throwing rocks with all her might, but she could only kill two or three scarlet bees each time. Hundreds of bees had gathered in the air, so many that she could not kill them even if she died of exhaustion. She could only try her best to maintain the triangular formation of three people to reduce the pressure on the other two.
On the other hand, Hilo had tried to use the Flame Arrow Magic Scroll to attack the beehive on the mound from the start. However, the Flame Arrow had just flown out when it hit a scarlet bee in the air. Although the Flame Arrow instantly burned it to death, the magic also exploded in mid-air because of its obstruction. Although the flames that dissipated still had a few hundred degrees of residual temperature, they could only damage the bee type Magical Beasts, but could not completely kill them.
Seeing that it was about time, he held the sword in one hand and opened the other hand in the air. Following the self-suggestion of his body movements, he simultaneously activated the spell slots on the magic net in his mind. A moment later, the earth and rocks on the ground condensed into hundreds of stone hailstones, which quickly attacked the bees. Although they had already discovered these fist-sized stone bullets and tried to dodge them, the stone hailstones were quite concentrated in the area they covered. In an instant, they killed 70 to 80 scarlet bees that could not dodge in time.
Realizing that the magic attack was quite effective, he immediately shot out two more stone hailstones. However, the last two spells only killed 50 to 60 scarlet bees. Although they were small, they were not stupid. When they saw the three consecutive stone hailstones rampaging among the bees, they began to consciously disperse. However, he was already very satisfied with killing about 180 scarlet bees by using three spell slots.
After the Bloody Scarlet Bees spread out, the pressure on the three of them immediately lessened, allowing the three of them to slowly approach the mound despite the swarm's dive. Although the bees were in a commotion when they discovered the three of them approaching their hive, they still maintained the basic situation of surrounding them without wavering.
"Hilo, release." Gong You, who was halfway up the mound, turned around and shouted at Hilo. This was the best attack range for the hornet nest. It could prevent the scarlet bees from blocking the flame arrows in time, and they would not be affected by the high temperature of the magic explosion.
Upon hearing the system announcement, Hilo immediately unfurled the Magic Scroll she had been holding in her hand, shooting Flame Arrows at the beehive one after another. Luana also took out an alchemy tool and threw it at the beehive at the top of the hill. Facing the beehive with a diameter of more than 20 meters, even with the interference of the hornets, they could hit it no matter how much they tried. On the other hand, the scarlet bees could not defend such a large area even if they wanted to intercept it.
As flames and explosions occasionally flashed across the beehive's outer shell, the remaining bees in the air immediately swooped down in a frenzy. Gong You had already prepared for this, and he activated his spell slot to cast the stone hail spell. Four consecutive stone bullets, which were nearly 3,000 fist-sized, exploded, killing about 200 Chifeng bees. The bees around the three of them were temporarily empty, and the beehive was also ignited by the two women's attacks.
By the time the surrounding Crimson Peaks had gathered again, Shiloh had already used up all 20 Flame Arrow Magic Scrolls in one of his pockets, and Luana had also thrown away all of her alchemy tools. At this time, he realized that the Wind Armor was not much left due to the intense battle, and the three of them had also consumed a lot of Stamina in the battle. Hence, he called the two of them to retreat.
The vengeful Chifeng didn't intend to let the three of them go, but before the Wind Armor was exhausted, the three of them took back their backpacks and successfully rushed out of the hornet's encirclement. A large number of Chifeng had returned because they were too far away from the nest, and the remaining Chifeng that followed closely were also killed by the three of them. Therefore, the three of them were able to temporarily rest by the river two kilometers away from the hive.
"Gongyou, those magical beasts were so crazy just now.”Luana pressed her chest and said with lingering fear. Although she didn't have trypophobia, she was still scared when she faced hundreds of red bees the size of sparrows.
"Yes, there are too many of them, and…Mr. Gongyou, the Flame Arrow Scrolls have been used up.”Hilo said after a few deep breaths. She took off the boots that Gongyou had given her and soaked her little feet in the cold river water. She pressed her thighs to make blood flow while turning her head to look at him.
"You guys burned their beehives. It would be strange if they didn't go crazy.”Gong You leaned against the rock and slowly steadied his breathing. After a while, he said softly," It's good that you've used up all the Flame Arrows. The scrolls in the City of Agriculture are of higher quality. You can choose better ones to buy when you replenish the scrolls in the future."”
How many of them are left now?』
"Omniscient: 0 adult rats and 0 infant rats of short-horned rats, 323 adult bees and 2002 infant bees of bloody scarlet bees."
" Oh my, I killed almost 500 of them in one go. They don't have much combat power left.'After analyzing the battle damage data, he used another spell slot to cover his retreat, so he had used a total of eight spell slots today. He still had six spell slots left. To be safe, it was better to use six bottles of mana potions to cool down two spell slots. Anyway, this rest would take at least an hour, just enough time to cool down the spell slots.
Seeing that the two of them had taken out the Mana Potion and poured it into their mouths, Hilo felt that it was a waste, but he did not say anything more. On the other hand, Luana took out the iron box of premium jerky from the bottom of her backpack and stuffed it into her mouth while asking the two of them if they wanted to eat. Although it was only about 11 am, considering that they still had to fight for a long time, the three of them decided to start lunch early. Hilo took out a portable stove and a small aluminum pot from his backpack and began to boil water to soak the dried vegetable leaves and nuts.
It was clearly a short break before the final battle with the magical beasts, but the riverside was as lively as an outing. They played in the water, fished, and basked in the sun. After they had eaten and rested, the three of them walked to the beehive mound and discussed their plans for the afternoon. To be more specific, it was the 'encirclement and reinforcement' operation. First, they would kill all the adult Bloody Scarlet Bees in the beehive, then pick up some leaves and branches from the surrounding forest and burn them on the top of the mound. They would burn the bee corpses while waiting for Crimson Peak to return to its nest. After confirming with Omniscience that all the bees had returned, he would kill the queen bee and eliminate all the dangerous magical beasts in the plains.
The plan was simple, but the specific actions were very troublesome. Only when they knew all the information could they carry out this kind of tightrope walking plan. In the afternoon, the three of them turned back and the remaining bees surrounded them angrily. However, after the three of them put on the Wind Armor again, all of Chi Feng's efforts and efforts were in vain. The invisible Wind Armor was not a barrier that a weak low-level magical beast could cross. Under the orderly slaughter of the three of them, their numbers gradually decreased. Once the bees showed signs of escaping, Luana would throw stones at the hive, and then the bees that couldn't give up on the queen would come back and kill them. In the end, they could only be killed by the three of them.
As there were not as many hornets as in the morning, the Wind Armor still had a lot of energy left after the battle ended. After killing the remaining adult hornets and burning the corpses according to plan, the hornet queen, who had been fighting to the death with the three of them, finally sent out the young hornets that could not fly. When the dense hornets rushed out of the hive and crawled towards the three of them, Hilo was so frightened that he immediately took out the magic scroll of the Gray Flame Bomb. Then, a dark blue Flame Bomb spell collapsed one-fifth of the huge hive. The damage was so high that even a heavy tank would be blown apart. Fortunately, the baby wasp had doused the flames caused by the magic with the blood honey and stopped her from releasing the second flame bomb in time. Otherwise, if the queen wasp had died unexpectedly, the Bloody Scarlet Wasps that had gone out to collect might not have returned to support them. In the end, the three of them were exhausted from killing the baby wasps that crawled all over the ground. The energy storage of the Flame Sword was used up. He could only use it as an ordinary longsword to slash. During this period, he drank a bottle of Energy Serum to recover his stamina. He drank another six bottles of mana potions to cool down his spell slots.
The time dragged on until three o'clock in the afternoon before they finally returned to the last Red Summit. After confirming that there were no surviving Bloody Scarlet Bees outside through Omniscient, the three of them immediately lit the firewood that had been stuffed into the hive. This time, the raging fire with sufficient fuel could not even extinguish the blood honey. It was not until the three of them drank another bottle of Energy Serum that they dragged their exhausted bodies back to the village.
On the way back, Luana made a fuss about wanting to take a bath again. However, it was strange that Shiloh did not go into the water this time. Instead, he washed his hair with Gongyou by the shore. Even so, it was already past five o'clock when the three of them returned to the village. This time, because of the accidental battle with the young bees, the three of them were close to their limits. They had to rely on Energy Serums to barely survive. Therefore, after returning to the village, he sent the two women back to their houses to rest first. Only then did he drag his tired body to report to the village chief. Then, he reminded the village chief to finish the " Entrustment Completion Report " as soon as possible, especially the parts that needed to be boasted about the three people's heroic battles.
When they returned to the house, they found that the two girls had already cooked dinner. Although the taste was ordinary, eating with the two beautiful girls made the originally ordinary dinner very delicious. Before the night break, the two girls deliberately left the tent and went to the temporary bathroom on the other side of the house to whisper. When they came back, their faces were still red.
"Gongyou, we'll go back to the City of Agriculture tomorrow. If you don't agree, I'll beat you up.”Luana clenched her fists and said fiercely to Gong You. Hilo leaned on her shoulder from behind and peeked at him.
"Tell me why first. There were still large carnivorous beasts scattered around the village that had not been killed. More importantly, the village chief's report had not been completed yet.”Gong You asked Luana doubtfully. He was already used to her threatening to hit him. In the end, it was just a casual remark. If she really dared to hit him, he didn't suggest letting her understand why her butt was so red.
"I don't care. I'm going back tomorrow anyway.”He didn't know what Luana was insisting on this time, but she refused to tell him the truth.
This aroused Gongyou's curiosity, so he…
Why does Luana insist on returning to the City of Agriculture?』
[Omniscient: Because Hilo's J period is coming up, and Luana is nine days behind her.]
Gong You felt a little awkward, but fortunately, the two girls didn't know about it. He coughed and said," Since you've asked for it, how about this? I'll go to the village chief tomorrow morning to ask for a report, and then we'll try to get back to the City of Agriculture by noon.”
After the two girls got a satisfactory result, they were ready to sleep. However, tonight, they were no longer hugging each other in the middle. Instead, they let Luana sleep in the middle. Before he went to bed, he checked that the Barrier Stone was working normally one last time, so he turned off the Illumination Stone and went to sleep together.
.
On the morning of the 19th day, Luana woke up early for her morning exercise as usual. Hilo also got up early and left the tent to make breakfast. When the two of them came to wake up the common reason who stayed up late to read the magic textbook, it was only seven o'clock in the morning. The sun usually rose early in the summer, so the first thing he said after he got up was," So we're in the northern hemisphere."”
He left the two women who were confused by his words behind. After washing up, they took the opportunity to check on the condition of the bad horses before breakfast. They found that they had been eating and drinking well for two days and had basically recovered. However, they had not recovered their fat, but it should not affect the scheduled schedule for today. Therefore, after breakfast, he instructed the two women to pack their luggage and then walked slowly to the village chief alone to mention the completion of the commission. However, on the way, the omniscient navigation pointed to the farmland outside the village. Did the village chief go to the fields early in the morning?
When Gong You turned around and walked to the village entrance, he saw the villagers gathered together and quarreled. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. When he appeared, the villagers immediately started talking noisily. After hearing a few different excuses, the village chief rushed over to calm the crowd. However, he basically knew what had happened. It turned out that wild boars had come to the farmland around the village to eat crops last night.
Everyone in the village knew that the three adventurers who had been temporarily staying in the village were quite capable. They had killed 29 wolves, wild boars, and giant bears on the afternoon of their first day here. It should be easy for them to deal with the wild boars who had come to cause trouble last night. However, they still told the village chief that they had an urgent matter to attend to and needed to rush back to the City of Agriculture. In the end, the village chief and the villagers persuaded him for a long time. In addition, the village chief promised to complete the report within an hour. Only then did he agree to go and kill the wild boars before leaving.
When Gong You returned to his house and explained the situation, the two women complained, but they still followed him on horseback to hunt the wild boar. On the way, he saw more than ten doves running to steal the crops. He was also in a bad mood and immediately shot a stone hail at them. His mood immediately became much better.
In less than half an hour, the three of them surrounded the wild boar that caused trouble. Luana had a bad temper. From afar, she jumped off her horse and rushed up to punch and kick it. Then, she picked up the wild boar with a broken spine with one hand and walked back briskly. What made Gongyou feel strange was that the wild boar that was covered in injuries was not dead. It seemed that she was more familiar with the control of the enchantment equipment.
When they dragged the wild boar back to the village, they happened to get the report that they had just finished writing. Therefore, the three of them bid farewell and the villagers immediately rushed back to the City of Agriculture. On the way, they encountered a traffic accident caused by the collision of two carriages in the forest road. The two groups of people were shirking their responsibilities, squeezing the narrow muddy path and making it impossible to pass through. There were also more than ten carriages blocked at the scene. However, the three of them took a detour through the nearby forest and were not too affected by the traffic jam. Finally, at around 11 am, they returned to the City of Agriculture, a large city on the southeastern plains.
After paying the fee and stopping the horse in front of the Adventurers Guild, the three of them pushed open the door and walked across the hall to the counter. There were a total of four counters in the guild, and only one of them was on duty at this time. It happened to be the mixed-blood half-forest lady who had come to the guild to complete the handover procedure last time. When she saw that no one else was handling the business, the three of them quickly walked over to complete the handover.
"Hello, we've completed a commission. This is the client's report.”After a polite greeting, Gong You explained the situation and placed the report written by the village chief on the counter.
The mixed-blood half-forest lady at the counter had always been polite to adventurers like Gong You, and she would not look down on him just because his nameplate was only a low-level adventurer. She smiled and replied,"Please wait a moment," before picking up the report to read. However, gradually, a strange expression appeared on her face. Then, she looked up at the adventurer nameplate of the three people and confirmed that it was indeed a low-level nameplate like the eighth-tier steel. Then, she lowered her head and continued to read the report. After she finished reading all of them, she reached out to her forehead and sighed in distress." Can you and your companion please wait in the reception room on the second floor from the corridor? We need to prepare."
Gong You turned around and exchanged a look with the two women. When he saw that they also had a helpless look on their faces, he turned back to the counter lady and said helplessly," Okay, please get ready quickly."”
So the three of them turned around and walked towards the stairs. In fact, he had already expected this to happen two days ago, but he did not want to deliberately reduce his achievements in the report. This was clearly the result of the three of them fighting hard. Moreover, the resources spent in the process of completing the commission were enough for an ordinary low-level adventure team to go bankrupt several times. Why should they not receive the corresponding rewards? He was now so strong that he did not have to fear the evil intentions of others. Therefore, there was no need to hide his achievements.
After waiting for a few minutes in the reception room, the receptionist finally knocked on the door and brought three people in. The three strangers were a young woman and two older men. The woman was a priest of the Church of the High God, who was also a permanent supervisor of the guild. She had the miracle of the High God that could distinguish between lies and truth. The men were both wearing adventurer tags, and both of them were high-level adventurers with bronze plates of the fourth rank. It seemed that they were the conference security guards that the receptionist had found at the last minute.
There were three people observing the four people on the opposite side, and the other side was also observing the three people. One man and two women had the same coat of arms, indicating that the three of them were a close adventurer team. The leader sitting in the middle was a young man in his twenties with an ordinary appearance. Half of his body was covered by a cloak, but the weapons he carried were undoubtedly enchanted equipment. Beside him sat a brown-haired girl in loose men's clothes and a brown-haired girl in high-level holy robes. The two girls had just reached adulthood at the age of sixteen, and they were innocent and inexperienced.
The seven of them sat down facing each other on two sides. The lady at the counter briefly introduced them before saying," My name is a little long, and it's hard to remember. You can call me Ina.”
"Hello, Miss Ina." Gong You adjusted his cloak to reveal the dragon scales that were hidden. Then, he showed the Adventurer Team's Golden Boots to the most eye-catching position. When he saw the two male Adventurers 'expressions change, he said in a gentle tone," Ask away."”
"May I ask if the commission completion report you submitted is true?”The counter lady, Ina, didn't look at Gongyou after asking. Instead, she looked sideways at the supervisor lady beside her.
"Of course it's true." Gong You replied with a smile. He had thought of this scene when he reminded the village chief to write the report, so he did not add any false elements in it, only beautified the language and grammar.
When the receptionist Ina saw the inspector nod slightly, her expression immediately changed. That exaggerated report was actually true?
"But…that was four thousand magical beasts, and they were all defeated in just three days…No matter how you think about it, it's too exaggerated.”The counter lady, Ina, took a deep breath and asked about the details seriously.
" Of course, it's true. My companions and I went through a lot of hardships to suppress all the dangerous magical beasts on that plain. We protected the village and all the nearby villages and villagers from their threat. This is a huge contribution to society.”Gong You explained in a serious manner. Although the actual process of the matter was slightly different, the outcome of the matter was the same.
When Ina, the counter lady, saw the inspector lady nod her head again, she was speechless for a while. She could only take out the report and read it quickly for the third time. Then, she helplessly muttered to herself," More than 30 harmful wild beasts, dozens of harmful birds, and more than 4,000 harmful magical beasts. How is it possible for the three of them to kill all of them in three days? Even gold medal adventurers might not be able to do it.”
"This is the true result of me and my companions taking a real risk. This is the true result of our Golden Boots adventurer team. I hope that the guild can complete the statistics as soon as possible so that they can give us a satisfactory answer.”This time, it was Gongyou who spoke in a serious official language. He did not need the Adventurers Guild to give him money as a reward. Of course, the guild would not give him money on its own without a commission. However, the corresponding social contribution points for the battle against the magical beasts must be obtained. Otherwise, would he be stupid enough to go and fight the magical beasts to the death?
"This…please allow the guild to send someone to verify it. Also, I need to report to the branch president before I can give you the results.”Ina, the counter lady, explained in a very awkward manner. She was just an insignificant employee of the guild. This matter had blown up so much that it was no longer something she could handle.
"Alright. The Golden Boots adventurer team will wait for the Guild to verify the information.”After saying that, he gestured to the four people opposite him. After seeing that they all nodded in reply, he left the reception room with the two women.
After the three of them left, the counter lady Ina confirmed that the door was closed before she asked the supervisor lady," He really didn't lie just now?”
"He didn't lie about anything. Although he didn't explain the details of the process in detail, the result should be true.”Miss Inspector turned off the miracle of seeing through lies and rubbed the corners of her eyes. Then, she explained to Ina, the counter lady, with certainty.
"I don't think he's lying either." At this moment, one of the two bronze adventurers said, and the other nodded in agreement.
"Why?" The counter lady, Ina, turned around and asked curiously. She still could not believe it, so she wanted to hear more opinions from the professionals.
"He's wearing the Winter Guild's signature treasure, and even his cloak, sword, and shield are enchanted. The other two members of the party also have more than one enchanted equipment. If we had the same equipment, we might be able to do the same thing.”This time, it was another adventurer who explained. He did not hide his envy at all.
"What is it? A low-level adventurer wearing such equipment, who exactly was he?”This time, it was Miss Overseer who asked in surprise. Although she was a cleric of the Church and also a part-time Overseer in the Adventurers Guild, she had never seen such an exaggerated thing. In her opinion, this was much more exaggerated than killing thousands of low-level magical beasts. This was because there were still many people in the Church who could do such a thing.
"Perhaps he is a descendant of a high-ranking noble?”Ina, the counter lady, guessed that when she found out that the Golden Boots adventurer team's equipment was the Rune Language, she was not surprised by the results of the crusade. In her long life, she had heard too many stories about the descendants of nobles who relied on powerful equipment to fight magical beasts when they went out to train. For example, the current prince of the kingdom had done similar things when he was young.
.
Gong You, Hilo, and Luana didn't return to the hotel immediately after leaving the Adventurer's Guild. Instead, they rode towards the Winter Chamber of Commerce. Although the two women had heard that he had bought a new house in the past few days, they hadn't been to the scene before. Therefore, when they knew that he was going to the Chamber of Commerce to take over the house, the two women were very excited, especially Luana. One of her ultimate dreams was to live in a big house in a big city.
After arriving at the Chamber of Commerce, Gong You thought that the vice president should be very busy, so he asked the senior employee Doug about the situation of the house. He knew that the handover of the house had been handled, and the renovation and simple decoration had been completed. The furniture had also been moved in. Doug asked if he needed to re-inspect the renovation, but he felt that it was too troublesome to run around, so he directly handed over the keys and contract documents. Finally, after receiving the completed Frozen Magic Ring and paying the final payment of 840,000 RMB, the three of them got back on their horses and went straight to the eastern residential area.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the new house. They noticed that the door was painted with the Golden Boots Adventurers 'coat of arms. The landscape plants in the yard had also been tidied up recently. After tying up the inferior horse in the yard, they immediately used the key to open the door and enter the house. There was not much furniture in the house, but it was very complete. Moreover, every piece was carefully selected by him. The floor of every room was also covered with a light-colored thick carpet. The design was beautiful and practical, making people feel comfortable and at ease. It was worthy of being high-end furniture worth more than 100,000 RMB.
Although he had already taken a cursory look at the house on the day he bought it, he was still pulled by the curious Hilo and Luana to take a look again. There were small magic stone lamps installed on the walls of every room, including the corridors. These were the original decorations. He only bought new lamps and commissioned them to be replaced. There was also a large hanging chandelier in the middle of the spacious living room ceiling and a few other fixed decorations that were replaced. However, there were still some accidents. When they arrived at the kitchen, Luana found a newly formed spider web in the corner of the ceiling, so she rode on his shoulder and cleaned all the rooms in the house. Although it was more of a playful nature, she didn't feel tired of riding horses for the past few days.
After confirming that there were no problems with the new house, Shiloh was left to put the luggage in the room. Together with Luana, they rode four empty horses to check out of the hotel. They also carried some of the luggage left in the guest rooms and suites. When they checked out at the front desk of the hotel, they would receive 24 silver coins a day. The 1200 RMB fee scared her a little, causing her to nag at him non-stop on the way back to the new house. However, it couldn't be helped. The three of them had too much luggage, so they couldn't bring it all out to participate in the commission. Moreover, the hotel accommodation fee was not a big deal to him. Even if he stayed for 60 days, it would only be 70,000 RMB.
On the way, they passed by an alchemy tool shop and took Luana to replenish their stock of potions. There were about 40 bottles in total. Because they had purchased too many potions, they were told by the shop assistant that ordinary potions only had a few months of validity. It was useless to stock up on them and buy them at a low price and sell them at a high price. This made him laugh. Only a strange adventurer team like theirs would drink potions as energy drinks. They would even feed them to horses when they were in a hurry. Under normal circumstances, the remuneration of adventurers was not high. If other adventurers dared to be as extravagant as them, they would have long gone bankrupt. For the remuneration of ordinary low-level adventurers, the average rookie team had to be diligent and thrifty to barely make ends meet.
When he left the alchemy shop, he found that the grocery store next door actually sold plastic pipes, rubber pipes, steel pipes, wire ropes, screws, nuts, and other parts that could only be seen in the industrial era. This gave him a big shock. It turned out that the craftsmanship of this world was not low, but it was very unevenly distributed in the region.
On the way, Luana dragged Gongyou to the market and bought a lot of fresh ingredients. He thought that since there was a refrigerator at home, he did not object. When he returned to the new house, he found that Shiloh had already washed all three of their clothes. As a thrifty housekeeper, she did not want to waste cleaning magic stones and chose to wash them by hand. Looking at the men's underwear hanging in the yard, he was still a little shy, but she smiled and explained that when they were in the nursery of the Temple, It was usually the older children like them who did the laundry. She had long gotten used to cleaning men's underwear. Poor children really took charge early, and orphans matured very early in life.
The three of them didn't have time to go out and stroll around until night. Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark while they were cleaning up the house. The two girls made a sumptuous dinner, saying that it was to celebrate another housewarming. Although it felt strange to hold a housewarming party for the second time in a month, it finally made him feel the warmth of home when he was with them. Even if the memories of his family before he transmigrated had been erased by the omniscient creator, he thought that was how family should be.
In the evening, Luana joked about taking a bath together. This time, even Hilo laughed and jeered, but he still refused, because if he agreed, he would be laughed at by the two girls. Moreover, he did not want to ruin the intimate relationship with them. Sometimes, it was better to keep a distance.
Before he went to sleep, Hilo did not come to the shared bedroom. Only Luana opened the door and climbed into his bed. He was too lazy to care about her sleeping in her own room. He put down the magic textbook in his hand and said to her who was rolling around on the soft new bed," Luana, help me send a bottle of healing potion to Hilo. Tell her to rest well."”
The potions were all bought with his own money, and the team funds that had not been used up until now were not used. It was fine during the adventure, but they would be embarrassed to use those potions without his consent, so it was better for him to take the initiative.
"Do you know something?" Luana stopped rolling and tilted her head to look at Gongyou suspiciously. She had just come out of Hilo's room and had never mentioned their private matters to him.
"No, I don't know anything." Gong You replied helplessly. This feeling of caring for someone and hiding his intentions was very subtle. Sometimes, the difference in gender would make the same thing a little awkward.
"Humph, this is 6 silver coins (300 RMB) per bottle.”Luana said angrily. She always liked to be competitive in unnecessary places, but she was also very sensible at critical moments.
"Up to you." Gong You casually agreed and picked up the magic textbook to continue reading. He felt that he should be more lenient to the two of them, who he recognized as 'family' in this world. Naturally, he would not be stingy with money.
Luana came back half an hour later after she left the shared bedroom. She yawned and lay on the pillow to sleep. She didn't even bother to tidy up her smooth back when her pajamas were rolled up. He had no choice but to help her lay down her pajamas so that she wouldn't catch a cold in the middle of the night. After lowering the brightness of the magic stone wall lamp, he turned off the lights and lay down to sleep. It was a quiet night. Other than the occasional patrolling guards, it was another quiet and charming night.
