In the afternoon of that day, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng went to the Turtle Man Fortress to visit Elder Kuike.
The result was no surprise. The old turtle man with a gray beard really gave them two difficult problems.
"Want to explore the Dragon Tooth Valley? Yes, you can, but you have to do me two small favors." Elder Kuik smiled and stroked his beard, looking like a trafficker.
"You old man is much stronger than us. Is there anything else you need our help with?" Gao Fei asked.
"Haha~ Young man, from what you said, I know that you have never been an official. People in high positions are busy with official duties, and no matter how capable they are, they cannot do everything by themselves. To say the least, I have already become the mayor of the town.
If I have to run errands and work on such trivial matters, then my job as mayor will be in vain."
Damn it! What the elder said made sense, but Gao Fei was speechless.
"Okay, young people should run more errands. If you have any work to do, just tell me and we will help you do it properly." Gao Fei pretended to be well-behaved.
"Young man is very sensible. He will definitely have a bright future in the future!" Elder Quirk stroked his beard and smiled, "I have two tasks for you. The first one is to try to eliminate the group of foodies entrenched in the underground storage room of the herring processing factory.
Rotten beast, so that the factory can resume production as soon as possible. The second thing is to investigate the observatory in the crater and find out what Yuenaga, who has been active in that area recently, wants to do."
"If we complete these two commissions, will you issue us an exploration license?" Jiang Feng asked a little worriedly.
"Of course, I always keep my word!" Elder Quik put away his smile and looked solemn, "If you complete these two tasks as soon as possible, I will not only allow you to enter the Dragon Tooth Valley for archaeological exploration, but also provide an additional reward.
"
"What reward?" Gao Fei became interested.
"I have four magic potions here. After taking them, you can temporarily gain resistance to one of the four types of energy damage: fire, electricity, acid, or cold. After completing the work, you can choose a bottle from the four potions."
The elder turtle man opened the potion box on the table and showed four magic potions of different colors to Goofy.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other, both of them could not hide their disappointment.
When they first heard about the extra rewards, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng thought that the Quirk Elders would grant the Ripple Sect monks or water druid inheritance, but it turned out that it was just a potion to resist energy damage, which was a bit disappointing.
After adjusting his mentality a little, Gao Fei readily accepted Elder Kuik's commission.
After leaving the Turtle Man's fortress, Gao Fei softly enlightened the depressed Jiang Nuxia: "This is an additional reward proactively added by Elder Quake. It comes with a bottle of resistance potion. It's interesting enough. If they don't mention this at all, we're not here."
Do you have to bring your own food and run errands?"
Hearing what he said, Jiang Feng felt relieved and nodded: "That's true, you can't be too greedy."
The two returned to the dock, met Eve, Al, Ush and Munin, and went to the factory where pickled herrings were processed to carry out the first commission from Elder Quick.
One street away from the factory, everyone smelled a fishy smell and had to cover their noses and move on.
The processing factory has gone out of business, and only an old turtle man remains here to look after the door.
Gao Fei told the old man Turtle Man that he and his companions were entrusted by Elder Quaker to destroy the scavengers occupying the factory's storage room.
"Great, finally someone is willing to come forward to solve this big trouble!"
The old turtle man was relieved and quickly took out a bunch of keys and opened the door to the basement.
The astrolabe had not yet recorded the scavenger's illustrated book, so Gao Fei asked the gatekeeper what kind of monster the scavenger was and how powerful it was that it could force the processing plant to close down.
The gatekeeper talked a lot with gestures, but the Turtle Man's dialect was really difficult to understand. Gao Fei didn't understand the weird metaphors he used. He could only guess that there was a group of scavengers lurking in the basement. The number was about 3~
Between 5.
Scavengers seem to be large-scale monsters with habits similar to those of "dung beetles". They lurk in places that normal people avoid, such as cesspits, garbage pits and sewers. The dirtier the place, the more likely they are to attract these "stinky beasts".
husband".
"It's hard to say how powerful the scavengers are. If they fight on open plains, their combat effectiveness is at most the level of beasts such as lions, brown bears, etc. It's not difficult to deal with them."
The gatekeeper stroked his bald head and said to Gao Fei.
"The problem is that these monsters always hide in the depths of the pickled herring fermentation pit. Unless they eat all the pickled fish in the pit, they are unlikely to leave the nest on their own initiative. This is a headache."
"Isn't it okay to jump into the fermentation pit and actively hunt the scavengers?" Jiang Feng interjected.
The gatekeeper glanced at her with a strange expression.
"Take the initiative to jump into the fermentation pit? Haha, it's not impossible. Unfortunately, there are no such warriors on the island so far. I hope you foreigners can muster the courage to give it a try."
"Old man, stop talking in circles. If you have anything to say, you can make it clear in person!"
"Bear Warrior" Al is a hot-tempered, straight-tempered man who hates guys who talk in weird ways.
"Hehe~ Big guy, you don't need me to tell you. Go down and take a look and smell it yourself, and you'll understand."
The gatekeeper pushed open the ajar door, stepped aside, and gestured to come in.
Gao Fei exchanged glances with his companions, held his battle ax tightly and remained alert, and walked down the moss-covered steps.
The steps extend to a depth of 10 meters underground, leading to an open warehouse at the end.
The underground warehouse was dark. Gao Fei stopped at the door. He reached out and took out an apple-sized crystal ball from his storage bag. He recited a spell, lit up the "floating ball", and remotely controlled the luminous crystal ball to hang in the air to provide light.
.
Under the illumination of the "floating ball", Gao Fei saw that two huge pits as big as a public bath had been dug out of the warehouse. The pits were filled with sewage, and a large pile of salted herring could be vaguely seen above the water.
There is a five-foot-wide narrow passage between the two pits, which is about ten meters long by visual inspection.
The air in the basement was extremely filthy, and the stench from the fermented herring was so strong that it was so strong that it was almost irritating to the eyes!
Gao Fei was wearing an "adaptation necklace" and he held his breath as soon as he entered the door. He couldn't smell the smell of fish emanating from the fermentation pit.
Others were not so lucky. Sister Eve covered her nose with both hands and almost cried due to the stench.
Al and Ush, who pride themselves on their courage, were holding their noses and shrinking back at this moment. They had to admit that the gatekeeper was right: no one with a right mind would dare to jump into a kipper fermentation pit that smells worse than a cesspool!
Muning, the "flash dog" with a keen sense of smell, now wants to cut off his nose.
