Boon tightened his grip on the steel knife in his hand, licked his dry lips, and tiptoed in the damp woodland before dawn.
The fog was thick, but Boone seemed to know the terrain as he walked through the rugged forest land.
His perception was very strong, and he spotted Lu Yu and his party resting under a tree not far away.
After observing for a while, Boone confirmed that no one was standing guard and all four targets were there.
After leading their companions to themselves, the seven of them looked at Lu Yu's bulging backpack, with only greed in their eyes.
Boon and Lu Yu just met by chance.
Boone's team, who were hunting monsters in the jungle, accidentally ran into Lu Yu. After the two sides confirmed each other, they restrained their hostility and had a little exchange.
When Lu Yu asked whether the direction to the capital was correct, Boon told him truthfully.
Originally, the intersection between the two ended here. Boon continued to complete the commission of hunting monsters, and Lu Yu continued to walk his own path.
However, adventurers occasionally make some extra money outside of commissioning.
You can get bounties by killing monsters, and you can explode equipment by killing people. You can make money regardless of whether you are doing it, so naturally some people will take the wrong path.
After a brief contact, the magicians in the team carefully tested Lu Yu and found that his magic power was very scarce. At first glance, he was not a powerful character, but more like a novice.
Boon actually didn't have any extra thoughts at this time, but the team members discussed the unsightly large backpacks on Lu Yu and Sigrid's backs in a few words.
What's in the backpack?
Heavy currency?
Highly valued jewelry?
A wide variety of scrolls and books that can be sold to merchants?
Well-made clothing?
No matter what it is, they can always use it.
"Look at how new their clothes are, and how sturdy their boots look. Captain, don't you always say that your boots hurt your feet? Why don't you try his?"
Once some thoughts arise, they can never go away.
Boone gave up hunting monsters and found his new prey.
As Mithril adventurers, they have experienced the baptism of blood. Naturally, they know that this kind of thing must be done carefully and be cautious at all times.
Therefore, Boone did not catch up immediately and take action. Instead, he waited for Lu Yu to walk a long distance before tracking him based on the footprints on the ground.
Even after confirming that Lu Yu and his party were encamped and sleeping soundly, they had no intention of taking action. Instead, they rested on the spot to ensure that they had sufficient physical strength to cope with any unexpected situation.
Lu Yu must be killed with one strike.
As long as the summoner himself dies, the summoned object will also disappear due to the loss of the contract object.
As for Sigrid, although some people in the team expressed that they had special needs, Boone still arranged to kill her.
He would rather share more loot and let this idiot return to the capital to find a place to vent his anger. In a place like this, if someone catches him, they have no way to ensure that they kill another team.
After recharging his energy, Boone once again assigned tasks to everyone.
Two people are responsible for intercepting the two summons, two are responsible for attacking Lu Yu, two are responsible for eliminating Sigrid, and one is responsible for providing amplifying magic for everyone.
Seeing that the fog had become a bit thicker again, Boone, who was afraid that Lu Yu and his party would be able to escape through the fog if there were any mistakes in their actions, decided that it was not too late to start the raid!
The six people accelerated by the wind magic rushed to the place where Lu Yu camped in an instant. The blowing wind blew out the campfire and brought up a puff of smoke.
Lu Yu, who woke up from his dream, directed the black mist and white mist to attack Boon.
Boon ducked out of the way, allowing his companions to bear the attack of the summoned creature, while he and the other man fought to reach Lu Yu.
Seeing the unconcealed fear in Lu Yu's eyes, Boon cut his throat with a knife without letting him cry out.
The summoner is like this, he is too fragile. If the summoned object fails to function in time, there is basically no second chance.
Looking at Lu Yu who fell to the ground with a look of reluctance, Boon said: "If there is an afterlife, remember to be careful."
The battle on Sigrid's side was also over. She couldn't defend herself against the cold arrow and was shot through the heart by one of her fists.
Not paying attention to the two corpses on the ground, the seven people quickly came to the backpack.
When I opened my backpack, everyone's eyes turned straight.
One backpack is full of granular gold, and the other backpack is full of all kinds of jewelry.
"Get rich, get rich!"
"Oh my God, what do these two people do? Why do they take so much money on the road?"
"I'm not dreaming, heavy, hahahaha, no matter what they do, these are all ours!"
"Stop making trouble. These two people can carry so much money out. Their identities must not be simple. The scene must be dealt with quickly."
"Also, go check quickly to see if there are any identification marks on these two people, and see if you can figure out who they are."
Boone was ecstatic the moment he saw the money, but he was already sweating coldly at this moment.
Gold, even in the Grand Empire, it was only used by nobles and big businessmen. The only currency that ordinary people had access to was silver coins.
This guy has a backpack full of...
Wait a moment…
A backpack?
No, how could he have the strength to carry this weight of gold on his back? How could this backpack be able to withstand this weight!
Boon turned to look at the bodies of Lu Yu and Sigrid.
The companion who coveted Sigrid was searching around, and at that moment, his chest was suddenly penetrated, and he fell down without even making a cry.
The throat was slashed with a sharp blade, and blood spurted out.
The body was penetrated by a dark object that appeared out of thin air.
One by one, the companions fell down inexplicably.
Boone was stiff, and his years of fighting experience made him realize what exactly happened.
However, it was too late, the sharp blade penetrated from behind and burst out of the chest.
"when…"
"Mr. Boone, isn't it great to hunt monsters? Why do you want to harm people?"
Lu Yu twisted the handle of the knife hard and rotated it in a circle, completely cutting off Boon's life.
The seven corpses were gathered together by Lu Yu, and Sigrid poured phosphorus powder on them and set them on fire.
In the raging fire, the body gradually turned into ashes.
Ever since the fog demon joined the team, she has been responsible for keeping vigil when resting in the wild. For no other reason than for the short foggy period from dawn to early morning.
Boon's caution did not prevent Lu Yu from noticing anything unusual. However, by chance, there was heavy fog in the dense forest last night.
When the fog demon was swimming in the fog sea, it immediately sensed Boone and his party following them furtively.
Seven mithril-level adventurers quietly approached Lu Yu when the fog filled the air, but they didn't know that they were already deep in the mist demon's hallucination. They didn't know that Lu Yu had already been reminded by the mist demon and planned to watch.
A big drama.
When Boon and his men rushed forward to attack and kill, Lu Yu and his party stood aside.
Lu Yu watched this group of people slashing at the air with ferocious expressions, throwing their magic at the mounds of earth desperately, each one shouting that they had made a fortune, and really wanted to know what they saw.
At the same time, he also knew how ridiculous he looked from the fog demon's perspective after he fell into the mist demon's hallucination.
Seeing these adventurers holding up dirt and shouting that they had found gold and jewels, Lu Yu shook his head helplessly.
My backpack is stuffed with dangerous items and daily necessities. There is no gold at all, and the only valuable items are some equivalents exchanged in Yas.
Originally, Lu Yu planned to watch for a while before sending these gangsters who had malicious intentions towards him to die, but Sigrid couldn't help it.
She saw someone touching the stones on the ground and calling her name.
That expression, those moving hands... Without even thinking, Sigrid punched her.
Lu Yu could understand Sigrid's excitement. After all, this scene would remind her of the time when she was locked in a cage and used as cargo.
The mist demon who had accomplished great feats was dangling in front of everyone, its big anthropomorphic eyes piercing and blinking, with desire written all over them.
"Okay, okay, you did a good job!"
As he spoke, Lu Yu clapped his hands, causing the mist demon to happily imitate Lu Yu's movements and clapped his hands.
After Lu Yu praised her, Sigrid praised her, and after Sigrid praised her, Lulutis praised her... Although it was no different from Lu Yu's own praise, the mist demon just wanted to listen.
When the proud and proud Mist Demon set off again, he kept changing his body shape, bragging about how realistic his hallucinations were, and a group of adventurers holding mithril signs couldn't even notice it.
Lu Yu was very wise and did not interrupt the mist demon's show off. This child had not shown herself well since leaving Huogu. She finally managed to show off once, so let her have a good time.
"Lulu, I had a question to ask you before."
"Then you ask."
It has become a daily routine for Lulutis to answer Lu Yu's strange questions.
"Who is stronger, you or Rabbit?"
Lu Yu suddenly felt a chill on his shoulders.
"Of course it's me. I'm a genius magician, the youngest seventh-level magician in Mera Continent."
"I know these names of yours, but what I'm asking is actually...who has a greater chance of winning in a fight between you and Rabbit?"
"Why did you think of asking this?" Lulutis asked.
Lu Yu confessed: "Didn't you tell me about the magician's off-level combat before? In addition, you also said before that the two indicators for the assessment of the magician's rank cannot actually correspond to the strength."
"So I'm curious, if you and Rabbit don't compare in terms of rank, who is stronger?"
Lulu said "Oh" and answered after a long time: "Of course it's me. The genius Lulu always has a way to deal with rabbits."
Lu Yu always felt that Lulutis's answer was very guilty and not very confident.
Just when Lu Yu was about to end the conversation and ask something else, Lulutis spoke again.
"Forget it, I admit, the rabbit has a better chance of winning."
The proud Lulutis did not allow self-deception to happen to herself.
