023 Red Comet

"It's worth at least 700 gold coins, I mean dragon coins!"

Doso shouted excitedly

"The harpy is truly our lucky angel!"

Just after Yorick's appraisal, it was confirmed that this is a high-level healing ring that can release [Cure Serious Injuries] once a day. It is a three-ring healing spell!

Not all adventurer teams have spellcasters, and not all teams have healers. Among low-level adventurer teams, a full-member chopper team is the norm.

If there is a ranger who can cast a few natural spells, or a bard who can play the piano a few times and sing two songs, it can be considered that the team has good spellcasting power.

What? You mean a lawyer?

Even if he is a low-level mage, why can't he make money by taking risks? Even if he doesn't have any production skills, it is better to work as a magic consultant for the nobles than to crawl through the forest miserable!

The adventurer team composed of all warriors and thieves should be said to be the most common. After all, as long as they pick up weapons, even farmers can call themselves warriors, and ruffians who steal chickens and dogs in towns can call themselves thieves...

Therefore, this ring is really important for some teams that lack healing capabilities. They can only use magic scrolls and potions to supplement the team's ability in this area. However, both scrolls and potions are expensive consumables...

"Let me see...it's too small for a human warrior to carry, even on a little finger. Hey, but I happen to know a noble lady who is looking for a ring worthy of her status. John, this ring

How about selling it to me? I'll pay 800...no, 1,000 gold coins!"

Old Tom took the ring from Yorick and held it tightly in his hand, then turned to the paladin and said, obviously he knew who the decision maker for this team was.

"I still have two villas and five shops in Black Deer City. I can definitely afford this price, and 1,000 gold coins is definitely a reasonable price. You can't sell it for more than this in Chult or Lantan!"

A bottle of healing potion that can achieve the same effect as [Treat Serious Injury] costs about 10 gold coins, and this ring can be used more than 80 times

"Tsk, save it, unlucky Tom, haven't you realized that your credibility has been ruined? But at least you let us know its value!

Haha! When was the last time we got a treasure worth over 1,000 gold coins?

Let me see...that was two years ago! Victor, you are such a lucky boy!"

The halfling jumped up happily and patted Victor's waist...

"Guys, something's coming!"

Victor ignored Doso's actions. He was still looking in the direction of the forest and reminded everyone.

Paladin John smiled and was about to say something, but his expression immediately turned serious after hearing his reminder.

He knew this man's terrifying perception ability!

"About... 6,000 feet in the air, approaching us at a very fast speed. It looks like a big guy."

As he said this, Victor had an inexplicable smile on his face, and he seemed a little excited.

Although he is not a professional lookout or sniper, he can vaguely sense the situation two kilometers away by relying on his sight and color. Especially that guy seems to have no intention of restraining his aura. It is really arrogant...

"Disperse the alert! Doso goes to confirm the situation, and Yorick switches to "Acupuncture"!"

John thought of something and immediately commanded his team, then shouted:

"Maybe a dragon!"

"Acupuncture" is a special kind of magic arrow. Before they came to Chult, the team specially customized it with a high-level mage. There were 5 in total, but now only 2 are left.

This kind of arrow was made by the mage to imitate the dragon-slaying weapon. It has some of the dragon-slaying special effects of the dragon-slaying weapon - it can easily break the dragon's scales, but it does not have the effect of causing a debilitating curse on the dragon.

After all, they are cheap goods and imitations. Of course, cheapness is only relative. Each "needle stick" sells for more than 100 gold coins!

Since there is no additional spell effect, how much damage it can cause depends on the ability of the shooter. For John and the others, "Needle" is already a big killer weapon against dragons.

Yorick nodded, took out a red arrow from his backpack and put it on the bow. The arrow was covered with some kind of runes, and the arrow glowed faintly.

The ranger's face was expressionless, and the hand that clenched the longbow reflected his restless heart. He glanced at Victor, and then walked into the jungle in a few steps.

Tia held a shield and an ax in front of everyone, and Shatara blessed everyone with a magic spell [oil on the soles of the feet], which could give everyone a certain amount of assistance in moving. Doso had already penetrated into the thorny place.

In the jungle, and climbed up a tree to look into the jungle...

"What should I do, John!"

Old Tom jumped up from the ground and shouted in fear

"My suggestion is that you return to the harpy nest below now..."

The paladin did not turn his head, but reminded the businessman loudly. He was interrupted by Old Tom before he finished speaking.

"Shit, I will never go back to that filthy garbage dump! Absolutely!"

"roar"

In just ten seconds, a red figure could be seen in the distant sky, and the roar of the violent dragon came from there.

Old Tom didn't say anything, and hurried to the edge of the cliff and climbed down along the rope.

After all, he is a thief and has received certain training. Even though his body is out of shape due to years of pampering, his nimble movements still show that this cunning businessman is very skillful!

"It's the Red Comet Maxima!"

Doso's voice came from the jungle

The terrain is composed of rocks and shrubs, with coastal cliffs on the west side and the sea below.

Everyone stood on an 80-foot-wide boulder platform by the sea. On the east side were bushes covered with thorns, and on the front and back were narrower cliffs.

There are not many options left for the adventurers now. Apart from facing the dragon directly, they can also go into the jungle of vines and thorns - which would restrict their movement even more, and is obviously not a good idea.

Dorso can travel through it with his cloak, and Yorick can run freely in the thorn jungle as a ranger, but the paladins can hardly move inside.

Otherwise, they can only climb down the cliff or jump directly into the sea. This is a kind of gamble, betting that the dragon will not find them, and betting that they can survive the rough waves - almost all dragons can swim and can also swim underwater.

breathe

As for hiding in a cave on the rock wall like Tom, if he is discovered and breathed out, there is no other possibility except death - the cave is not deep, and with John's character, it is impossible to choose to leave his life to luck.

In a short period of time, the paladin has made a decision. The "Red Comet" is just a red dragon that has just reached youth. They have the possibility of defeating it, and there is also Victor...

John glanced at the muscular man with a smile on his face and an excited face, with his upper body naked.

"Blessed by the Lord of the Dawn!"

He clutched the Holy Symbol on his chest and performed a simple prayer

Even if nothing can be done, it is not too late to jump into the sea and escape in the end
