Chapter 48: Of course, we have to go along the edge to explore the map
In these wild places, a large number of larvae produced by foul-smelling crows and blood eagle nests breed here for a long time.
These flying monsters often appear in groups and rely on their rapid attacks to bite passers-by.
After each attack succeeds, they quickly retreat to look for the next opportunity to attack.
If their nests cannot be found and destroyed, these blood eagles and fetid crows will be produced continuously.
Characteristics such as these make these monsters the most hated monsters for many adventurers.
These monsters don't have much experience, but they are very annoying. Even if you shoot them down with bows and arrows, the rain of carrion and blood will fill your head with a stench.
Without Sister Crow's participation, Chen Hao would never have thought of these disgusting monsters.
But thinking from another perspective, a flying scout is definitely better than a little red running around.
The jungle has always been the domain of druids. With crows as scouts, druids can often predict the enemy's opportunities. There are even rumors that some druids specialize in summoning crows and have mutated skills such as transforming into crows.
So after seeing such a creature for the first time, Chen Hao made up his mind to collect some soul fragments to see what effect the summoning would have.
However, these foul-smelling crows are not pure demons. They have very little demonic aura. It takes 500 soul fragments to summon one.
Everyone was walking aimlessly in the black forest, and the dirt road under their feet was not the dirt road leading to the black wasteland.
The roads here are very muddy and the grass under the trees is full of mosquitoes.
Chen Hao took out the mosquito repellent that Monica gave him and sprayed it on his exposed skin.
In exchange for these potions, Chen Hao left 5 pieces of blue equipment at the small station.
"Daisy, I can't reach here, can you wipe it for me?"
Looking at Chen Hao's pulled up clothes, Daisy rolled her eyes and raised her hand to shoot down a foul-smelling crow.
"Not as good as your sister at all!" Chen Hao muttered, "If Diana were here, she would have come to her Chen Haogie by now."
Daisy's blood boiled even more after hearing this.
The first time she went out to fight with an adventurer, she didn't show off her skills and was despised and said she was not as good as her sister.
As the lowest-ranking mercenary in the team, Daisy could only vent her anger on the foul-smelling crows flying in the sky.
As they walked, a cliff appeared in front of everyone.
There is a mountain rock barrier here, which can be regarded as the end of the black forest.
"Lord Chen Hao, the Tree of Anipheus is obviously not here." Daisy asked politely, "Where should we go next?"
I thought it was a polite question, but Chen Hao actually gave the answer: "Then just walk close to the foot of the mountain!"
"Uh...well..." Daisy hesitated, "Mr. Chen Hao, I think we should walk in the opposite direction of the sun."
"No, just walk close to the foot of the mountain, either left or right!" Chen Hao actually had an inexplicable stubbornness on this issue.
After hearing Chen Hao's answer, several other people also showed a look of embarrassment on their faces, as if they were hiding something.
At this moment, even Kasha said: "Chen Hao, why do you have to walk close to the foot of the mountain? Can't we go in a direction that has never been explored before? I think the chance of finding the Tree of Anivers is better
It will be bigger.”
"Yeah, that's right."
"Sister Kasha is right."
Irving and Hall also nodded.
"No, just walk close to the foot of the mountain." Chen Hao shook his head like a rattle, "You decide whether to go left or right, but you must walk close to the foot of the mountain. By the way, why are you so united about this? Are you hiding something?
Follow me?"
"No, no!" Hall said quickly.
"I have nothing to hide from you." Owen quickly explained.
"Then stop talking and just listen to me."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he leaned back on the backrest of the small bench and closed his eyes to rest.
What a joke, who doesn’t run along the edge when exploring a picture?
Just when Chen Hao was complacent about his decision, the other team members looked at each other and finally focused on Kai'Sa.
"Don't look at me, I can't do anything to him. He is the captain, he has the final say."
"Oh, okay." Owen sighed and walked to Wolfgang silently: "Brother, I'm really sorry for you. I didn't expect you to find such a loyal partner."
Wolfgang remained calm as he silently took out a mask from the storage space and put it on his mouth.
"I hope Mr. Chen Hao has chosen the right path." Daisy muttered silently, then traced the extension of the mountain, picked a longer and farther direction and started moving forward.
After walking for a day, until the afternoon of the second day, Chen Hao, who was quietly humming a tune with his eyes closed, twitched his nose and said with a frown: "Wait, is there something wrong with my nose or something? Why does it smell so bad?"
When I turned around, I saw that the other team members had already put masks on their faces, but I was still breathing "fresh air" stupidly.
"Damn it, Daisy, Kasa, I'm so kind to you in vain!"
Chen Hao became anxious when he saw it. He jumped down from the bench with both hands, stepped forward, took off the mask from Daisy's face, and put it on his own face.
For posterity, this is definitely an act seeking death.
But now in the sanctuary, Daisy, who was Chen Hao's mercenary, could only blush, took out another mask from the storage space and fastened it on her face.
"Chen Hao, I remember there are many masks in your storage space!" Kasha reminded.
"They were all left to me by Diana, and I couldn't bear to wear them." Chen Hao said while taking a few deep breaths of the fragrance remaining on the mask.
After walking forward for a while, Chen Hao found that the mask was somewhat difficult to use.
This inexplicable stench was so strong that it could penetrate the small gaps between the fibers of the mask and get into Chen Hao's nostrils. No matter how stupid Chen Hao was, he still noticed something was wrong.
"Stop!" Chen Hao waved his hand, "Tell me the truth. According to your experience, is there a smelly crow's nest ahead?"
Seeing that Chen Hao finally came to his senses, several people nodded their heads.
"Lord Chen Hao, although some stinky crows' nests will also grow on a tree. But more nests are built on mountains, and... and these nests often appear in clusters." Daisy replied.
"Chen Hao, let's take a different path. The Tree of Agnivers will almost never grow in these stinking crows' nests." Kasha also tried to dissuade her.
"Are you sure? Is there any final documentation?" Chen Hao asked.
Kasha and Daisy looked at each other and shook their heads.
"That's it!" Chen Hao shrugged, "Think about it, if we searched around and couldn't find the broken tree, but finally found it growing near the nest in front, what would you think?
?Won’t you regret giving up today?”
"No." Everyone shook their heads again.
"I don't care, no matter what, I will go there today!" Chen Hao said stubbornly, "For me, seeing all the monsters in Sanctuary is also my dream."
"Weird dream!" Kai'Sa complained.
Seeing that Chen Hao was still stubborn, Daisy sighed and took out a small medicine bottle from the storage space.
"Master Chen Hao, since you insist on going, then apply the medicine in this bottle around your nostrils."
"What is this?" Chen Hao also became curious when he saw this unlabeled Sanwu product. "Since there is such a good medicine, why didn't Monica recommend it to me?"
"This medicine is used in battles between Roger, so it is generally not sold easily." Daisy explained, "After applying this medicine, humans will temporarily lose their sense of smell and taste, and naturally they will not be able to smell these stinky things.
."
"Hey? Is there such a thing? Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Chen Hao walked forward happily, puffing out his chest and raising his neck.
"Master Chen Hao, you...are you..." Daisy was startled by Chen Hao's actions.
"Of course you are applying it for me! Why are you so stupid?" Chen Hao pointed at his nostrils and said angrily.
At this moment, the other three men all turned around in unison, unable to bear to look directly.
Kasha was also speechless for a while. Logically speaking, a mercenary should agree to all the employer's requests, but Chen Hao was too petty.
In desperation, Daisy could only unscrew the bottle cap with a blushing face and dip her index finger into a little of the ointment in the bottle.
She swore that when she returned to the camp this time, she would not let Diana accompany Chen Hao on any adventures again.
Feeling the coolness coming from the inner wall of his nostrils, Chen Hao opened his eyes and looked down at the serious Rogge in front of him: "Be gentle, why are you using so much force?"
"Aren't you afraid that one day our roles will be reversed and I will work so hard?"
