The afterglow of the setting sun pulled out a long and narrow afterimage on the edge of the forest. Next to a rock shrouded in the afterimage, the soldier Guo Bei lit up a bonfire, boiled hot water in an iron kettle, added in the broken tea cakes he carried, and then cooked it.
Gu Chen poured the hot tea into the wooden cup and picked it up.
There are quite a lot of broken bits floating in the cup, and the taste is quite bitter. It's hard to say how delicious it is.
Even so, with the open wilderness as the background, this cup of bitter tea can be regarded as an extravagant enjoyment. Especially the captain Guo Bei personally cooked the tea and served it. From this, we can see how grateful the pioneers were to Gu Chen, and
Gu Chen, who was holding hot tea in his hand, did understand his mood.
"I'm really, really grateful! Mr. Gu."
"Where. I have a headache when I am separated from my companions. It is also my luck to meet Brother Guo and others."
The soldier, who was as burly as a brown bear, bowed his head deeply towards the young master in front of him. Gu Chen waved his hands with a wry smile, and his eyes quietly moved towards the spearman Zazu who was sitting opposite the bonfire.
(Although, I feel a little sorry for them...)
Thanks to the blessing of the rich spiritual essence of the Little Healing Water, the injury on Zazu's right leg has been healed. However, the indescribable "horrible" experience while healing the wound left an unforgettable impression on the villain. At this moment, Zazu was sitting paralyzed.
Next to the rock, his eyes were staring blankly into the void, as if he was completely burned out.
"Is he okay?" Gu Chen asked worriedly.
"Eh? It's okay. The foot injury has been cured. It looks like it will be alive and kicking tomorrow." Guo Bei answered quite calmly, and at the end he added, "The spirit of the little humans is stronger than that of cockroaches."
"That's it." Gu Chen nodded in understanding, and then remembered this knowledge in his mind. "What are you going to do next? Should you go back to Liyang City to reorganize your equipment as planned?" In this case, even if we fail to fight with him in the end.
Feiyan reunites, and Gu Chen can return to Jucheng with Guo Bei.
Of course, Gu Chen's plan was his plan, but the actual situation was not in line with his expectations. Guo Bei, who was questioned, raised his head and looked at the folding pot beside the campfire. After making the medicine previously, Gu Chen had not had time to pack it. At this moment, the pot was filled with
It is filled with the essence of elixir.
"Master Gu, can you give us the Xiaoyu water you refined?" Guo Bei asked in a negotiating tone. "Of course we will pay. It will be 20% more than the market price... No, how about 50%
?”
"Are you planning to continue chasing the 'Lord of Ni Ze'?" Gu Chen was stunned.
"That's right. I finally caught that guy's tail. If I lose the chase, I have to do it all over again next time." Guo Bili nodded. "Lao Sha's leg is fine. Mr. Gu, you have to be willing to put Xiao Yu in water."
If you pass it on to us, all the elixirs you consume will be replenished. This time we will definitely kill the turtle grandson!"
The pioneers are fighting elites armed with weapons, and they are also the strong support for the Chenghuang Kingdoms to resist the wild monsters. The soldiers in heavy armor beat their hands angrily and made a clanging sound. The mighty momentum really made Gu Chen look at the pioneers with admiration.
After getting to know each other again, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel curious.
"Speaking of which, what does the 'Ni Ze Lord' look like?"
……………………
The Spiritual Brahma flows in the land of Chenghuang, and the wild monsters are monsters born from the stagnant spiritual Brahma. Because the wild monsters will attack the people of the past indiscriminately, they have become the source of pain for all the countries of Chenghuang.
According to the shape, the monsters are divided into grass monsters, tree monsters, stone monsters, water monsters and other races. According to the size, they are divided into small monsters, medium monsters, large monsters, giant monsters and other specifications. As far as common sense is concerned, the danger level of the monsters is the same as that of the monsters.
The body size is directly proportional. For small monsters, the pioneer can basically deal with them alone. For medium-sized monsters, several or even dozens of people may need to work together to defeat them, depending on the situation.
Large-scale desert monsters are quite rare even in the outer world. However, if they appear, at least city-state-sized pioneers must gather together to be able to compete with them. As for giant desert monsters, historical records indicate that their existence is often measured in millenniums.
And once it wakes up from its slumber, it will definitely be a catastrophic natural disaster that will sweep through the surrounding neighboring countries.
In fact, there are countless countries in history that have been destroyed due to the activities of giant monsters. Even now, there are rumors of giant monsters sleeping in Chenghuang lands. The Chenghuang countries generally hate monsters deeply, and the root cause is
These are the Swords of Damocles hanging high above our heads.
Of course, the "Lord of Ni Ze" that Guo Bei was chasing was not that terrifying existence that would destroy the country at every turn.
According to race, the Mudlord is a "mud monster" of the stone monster subtype, and in terms of size, it is a fairly typical medium-sized monster.
Generally speaking, mud monsters belong to the kind of monsters with low defense and slow movement, which should be quite easy to deal with. However, the mud monster that has absorbed the spirit Brahma for a long time has produced "mud monster" from it.
Ability. "Mud" allows it to turn into mud and move around, and its threat is suddenly increased to the level of a medium-sized monster.
Recently, the "Nud Master" has appeared frequently on the business roads around Liyang City, and several pack teams have been attacked by it and suffered heavy losses. The merchants watched helplessly as their valuable commodities and the cage trucks carrying the goods were swallowed up by the mud.
Out of grief and anger, they jointly submitted a crusade commission to the pioneers and gave them quite good rewards.
The biggest problem in the crusade against the "Ned Ze Lord" is its whereabouts. Hearing that the Ni Ze Lord last appeared near the stone pine forest, Guo Bei's team focused on this search. Although they caught some clues, they also failed due to the fierce battles.
And let the elixir be used up. If not for the luck of encountering Gu Chen, a mobile humanoid supply point, the only choice is to go back home and start all over again in the future.
"I didn't expect that defeating the mud monster would be so troublesome..."
The soldiers complained to the Normal University, and Gu Chen was speechless.
Because there are cute monsters in his family, Gu Chen is also very interested in weird monsters. Originally, he thought that if it was not dangerous, he might follow Guo Bei to make some soy sauce, but now he gave up this idea.
The outer realm where wild monsters lurk is by no means a place where outsiders can wander around casually. Anyway, the medicinal herbs have been collected. If they can successfully reunite with Feiyan, it would be better to return to Liyang City as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute, if this is the 'Stone Pine Forest', wouldn't that be the opposite of the 'Cypress Grass Slope'?"
Gu Chen, who was trying to mark the location in his mind, was suddenly stunned. If he remembered correctly, the stone pine forest was in the southwest of Liyang City, just opposite to the cypress slope in the northwest corner. The stupid bird just kept its head down and ran wildly.
You actually brought him to such a remote place!?
"So Mr. Gu, you want to go to Baicao Slope? That location is indeed farther north."
Probably noticing the complicated expression on Gu Chen's face, Guo Bei tried to comfort him. "Don't worry, it's only half a day's journey from Cypress Grass Slope to Stone Pine Forest, and Qiang Ru has already gone to find your companion. Liyang area
There is no guide who is more familiar with the outside world than her. As long as your companions are not unfortunately entangled by wild monsters, Qiang Ru will definitely be able to find her and join them."
"It's no problem if it's a monster." Gu Chen let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Feiyan can single-handedly ravage a large group of grass monsters, and is far more reliable than him in terms of strength. Qiang Ru is a Southern Barbarian hunter, and he also has extraordinary skills in search and tracking. If you add up the two factors, he successfully merges with Feiyan.
The probability is indeed not small.
In any case, Gu Chen can't do anything else except trust them now.
