On this day, it started to rain lightly in the Oak Ridge area of the World of Warcraft Forest. Spring rain is always like this, not heavy but long. Braving the drizzle, Ba Naogan led Bimoye and other more than a dozen capable members of the group towards the
Going south, they had actually left Oak Ridge for a day.
Because this matter was privately requested by the consul, and the matter was relatively simple, just to pick up one thing, Ba Naogan decided to lead a small team of people to pick it up himself, while Emmason and the Illusionist led the rest.
I went to another mercenary mission. This arrangement is also to save time and not waste manpower.
"Be careful if you step on it." Ba Naogan stepped on the wet mud and climbed over the slippery area. He raised the rain hat covering his forehead and looked at the direction before continuing to walk forward.
"Follow up."
They walked behind one by one, their faces numbed by the cold wet rain.
"This weather is really annoying. Either there will be a heavy rain, and it will continue for a long time without stopping." Each of the mercenaries gathered their raincoats, and their heavy boots stepped on the stagnant mud, making them stick even more.
Called too heavy.
Their raincoats are not actually raincoats, but a set of cloaks of the same style that they specially customized before leaving. Ba Naogan took the weather conditions into consideration when he came here, so the cloak was specially made waterproof and also had a
A rainproof hood.
Irina patted her stiff face, sniffed and followed Luo closely. She looked back at Susan and Wayne behind her, and Ians followed in the team.
Ba Naogan didn't want Ian to come with him, but he insisted on taking a look around, so Ba Naogan had no choice but to agree.
"Captain, you said it's really strange. Why would those people leave things in the Warcraft Forest and not come to pick them up for so long?"
Ba Naogan walked in front and said: "I also asked the consul. He said that his boss had visited the World of Warcraft Forest once before when he was a mercenary. During this period, several companions were killed, and his boss took care of some of them.
The relics of his companions who died, but the situation at the time made it inconvenient to take them with him, so he found a place to hide them, thinking that he would come back to pick them up when the matter was done. But later, an accident occurred during the mission, and he had to be forced to go with other people.
He withdrew from the Warcraft Forest together with his companions, and never came back since then. Later, his boss became an official, and he wanted to get his companions' relics back, but he didn't have the time or the ability to go all the way.
I came back from the Demon Moon and went to the Mercenary Guild several times to post the mission, but no one accepted it, so I left it until today."
The companion who followed said: "It's no wonder. There are very few people who come to the Ten Forbidden City every year, and no one would make a special trip to such a dangerous place just to help him retrieve his relics. We can only ask someone to help him by the way."
Yes, just like we have seen so many task orders related to the World of Warcraft Forest in the Mercenary Guild."
"Um."
Another companion said: "There are many treasured things in the world in the World of Warcraft Forest. These things may be worth 30,000 to 50,000 gold when sold, but no one would venture to the World of Warcraft Forest specifically for such a low-profit mission, so these things
The client can only wait until one day they are lucky and someone else accepts their task. This is why those teams that dare to take risks in the World of Warcraft Forest and return safely will be so popular after returning, and even
We will be named by the employer to accept their entrustment. So as long as our adventure is successful, our reputation will be great in the future and our rewards will be more."
"Yeah, you're right, that's the truth."
The mountain road was particularly difficult to walk on a rainy day. After walking all day, I still didn't reach the planned place by nightfall.
"It seems that the rain has slowed down our journey. We originally planned to reach the place where the consul said we hid things in the evening, but we are still a long way away." Ba Naogan stood next to a stream and spring, carrying a
He held several maps, ranging in scale from large to small, but the route and terrain on the most detailed map were not very clear. It took him a long time to get a rough idea and make sure he was still in the right direction.
"Approximately how far is it?" Bimoye stepped forward and asked.
"Hmm...two hours...or three hours." Ba Naogan said.
"Then let's keep walking. It gets dark early on a rainy day. It's only around five o'clock now." Bimoye closed the cover of his watch and stuffed his clothes.
Ba Naogan nodded: "That's what I mean too. Let's go to the place to find the things tonight, and then wait until we return tomorrow."
At this moment, a person's scream suddenly came from their team, and then the person's voice disappeared as if it was stuffed into a cloth bag.
Everyone was shocked and frightened. Everyone drew their swords and watched the place where the sound disappeared.
"Who~!"
There was no sound, no movement, just the sound of rain and the sound of flowing water.
Everyone's hearts became tense and heavy. In such a quiet valley, something could attack them so silently, and in front of experts as alert as Moye and Banao Gan.
At this time, the sky has not turned completely dark, but this dim dark blue with extremely dim light illuminates the surrounding mountains and trees into a hazy shadow, and you have to carefully open your eyes to see it.
A vague outline emerged. In fact, the situation at this time was the most uncomfortable. It would be better to be completely dark. Several mercenaries stared hard and saw nothing, and then thought about the body.
And magic crystals.
The magic crystal lit up, illuminating a few meters around it, but still nothing could be seen. Suddenly, a "gurgling" sound was heard, the sound was very deep and loud, and it was nearby. Bimoye
After hearing the sound, two fireballs were immediately fired and flew over. At last everyone could see clearly what it was.
"Oh my god, what a big toad!" Wayne exclaimed, and the huge toad appeared in front of his eyes, which startled everyone and hurriedly moved away.
At this time, the big toad started to move again. It opened its mouth and flicked its tongue, and in an instant it stuck to a person and wanted to bring him into its big mouth.
"Flower of Ice!" Bimoye's magic was surprisingly strange. The moment the sticky tongue was about to retract, the sharp edge of the ice cut on the softest tongue of the big toad, saving the person.
A few quick-reacting ones had already made moves at this time, and they swarmed forward with swordsmanship and spear skills. Ba Naogan, who was next to him, did not forget to remind him when he made a move: "Be careful of the poison glands on its body, don't get on its back."
This big toad is four meters tall, like a small square house. Its back, which is as round as a plate, is covered with green-brown bumps that make people's scalp numb.
The big toad was injured, and its croaking became even louder. Soon, the sound of croaking could be heard everywhere in the entire mountain valley.
Logically speaking, frogs and toads should be sleeping in the soil at this time and should not wake up, but maybe some magical beast in the mountain woke up this big toad. But the most important thing now is not thinking about this.
When Susan heard so many sounds, she was frightened and pale. An inadvertent toad spit out its sticky tongue, wrapped Susan around and took her into its belly.
"Susan~!" Irina was shocked. She pulled the Red Moon Heavenly Bow in her hand with full strength and then released it. Susan's scream was just like her previous companions, and she was choked and swallowed in the middle of the scream.
It went into the stomach.
Ba Naoqian's heart was pounding. There were so many toad sounds. Who knows how many there were. Anyway, he just felt that the whole land and mountains were full of toad screams. He suppressed the panic in his heart and immediately shouted:
"Hurry up and save people and get out of here, quick~!"
Originally, everyone was still worried about the venom glands of toads, but now it is a critical moment of life and death. If we wait for a while and wait for all the mountain toads to crawl out of the soil, we still don’t know what will happen.
"Kill~!"
Regardless of whether the venom would splash out when the knife was struck, everyone tried their best to chop at the toad. But the big toad was not easy to deal with. Ordinary toads seemed weak and could be trampled to death with one kick, but they were so big.
The skin of the toad's back is already very thick, and cutting it with a knife is like cutting into the mud shell.
Bimoye flew into the air and cast it instantly. Several ice magic attacks on the toad's back had no effect. He lightly activated the light array with magic power, and Ice Dragon Song and Double Dragon Break flew out one after another, hitting the big toad's head and back with two bangs.
