"Dragon Claw Forest? I've gone deeper several times and I'm quite familiar with it."
Facing Fann's inquiry, Old Mark said dryly.
Obviously, this person looks the same as he looks, and is also not good at speaking.
In response to this, John, who heard this, couldn't help but look at the bounty hunter, Old Mark, in surprise. Through what John had learned from the hunters he had visited, he also knew that the depth there was not as deep as that of the Golden Leaf Forest, which is known as the Forest of Death.
The main part, but danger is also everywhere. The biggest threat is that the natural terrain can easily make people fall into a malaria and find a way out. In the end, they will be lost in the forest, become feces of beasts or die in the mouths of venomous snakes and venomous insects.
Return to nature.
If Fan En hadn't admired Old Mark quite well, and he also realized that this person was not the kind of person who spoke up and said loudly, he would have thought he had encountered a liar!
"Great! I hire you in the name of the federal government, Mr. Hunter!"
Mike Colson said excitedly when he heard this. After experiencing so many rejections before, he had no hope for this time, especially those bounty hunters just now had suspicion and hostility, but no kind-hearted look.
Unexpectedly, I really found a suitable guide for them.
Facing John's slightly suspicious eyes, Mark was silent and did not explain.
Two federal agents were left to communicate with the hunter Mark, while John pulled over to the tavern owner, Mr. Fann, and asked in a low voice.
Fanen said:
"Old Mark is a real hunter. Later, he lost his family because of an accident and wandered alone on the road of bounty hunter. As for what happened to him, no one knows, even if he knows ten times with Old Mark.
The bounty hunter of the year doesn’t know either.”
"Because this is a taciturn man who keeps the quietness of a hunter all year round. He is not only keeping his mouth shut about his own affairs, but also never saying a word of extra words, let alone gossip about others. It is precisely because of Mark's characteristics that he
Many bounty hunters regard as trustworthy candidates, and the first person they think of when there is a shortage of people in the bounty mission is him. Over the past decade, Old Mark has been occupying the survey on the mission commission satisfaction of the bounty guild for many years.
The top three positions are also the only bounty hunter who goes to the single gang instead of the small team!”
"And don't look down on Old Mark's skills. Although the hunting bow is not as powerful and range as the steam musket, it can be enough to deal with targets without armor. Its launch frequency is high, and sometimes it has an advantage. In addition, he is still experienced.
The hunter's superb skills are definitely a reliable comrade-in-arms."
Anyway, it's absolutely reliable to hire him!
John nodded in his heart. Since there was a suitable candidate, there was nothing he had to do. Let the two federal elites negotiate terms with each other themselves.
Gillie Gibbs: "5 pounds, this is my two-month salary!"
Old Mark's expressionless face:
“10 pounds!”
The female agent gritted her teeth and added:
"10 pounds, this is the highest bounty amount we can provide. You should know that a federal third-level wanted criminal is only at this price, not to mention that we only need you to be a guide once."
“10 pounds!”
Seeing that Old Mark was spitting out these two words again without even changing his expression and tone, Gillie Gibbs felt that he was about to explode.
Apparently, the Agent Colson believed that women had a talent that men did not have in bargaining, so they handed over this task to Gibbs, but they never thought that she had received elite education since childhood and had no time to go shopping and buy vegetables.
, live the life of an ordinary woman.
John watched the two agents give a reward of 10 gold pounds, while the hunter insisted on 20 pounds at once, and there was no room for bargaining at all.
Anyway, it's the seller's market now, and no one else except him rushed to the Dragon Claw Forest of the Misty Forest to take risks. No, that's not an adventure, but a death.
However, when John didn't expect it, the two parties soon involved the matter.
When Old Mark found out that something was wrong, he looked at John, who was watching the show with Fann at the bar, and then suddenly said something to the two federal agents.
Then the Ms. Gillie Gibbs walked over with a puzzled expression and said:
"This Mr. Hunter asks to talk to you privately first."
Obviously, the female agent didn't think there was anything to talk to the town sheriff.
Mike Colson walked over and said sincerely:
"Please help from Chief John, be sure to get the hunter to agree. We can discuss any requests."
John was also confused.
It was not until the two of them met separately in the room behind the tavern under the arrangement of Fanen that he said:
"Mr. Hunter, why should I agree to the invitation of the two agents? You should know that even if you are familiar with the situation in the forest, any accident may occur in that undiscovered primeval forest."
Mark spit out a few words in a silence.
"I need money!"
John was speechless, this was indeed a very powerful reason.
"Okay! Then Mr. Mark, why did you call me here alone?"
Mark glanced at him:
"I discovered a cunning guy who should be able to meet the previous reward target of Mr. Sheriff, and it was an extraordinary beast, but this wolf is not an ordinary timberwolf, very cunning and dangerous, and must be fully prepared to bring it up
Capture alive.”
John's eyes lit up, and then he frowned:
"The target is in the Dragon Claw Forest?"
Obviously he had some guesses about the reason why Mark called him over.
Mark nodded silently.
John couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he traveled through time, he was surrounded by golden fingers, and the old man helped him. Why did it be so difficult for me to get to the point of building a foundation! If you want to start practicing, you have to publish a reward yourself...
"So I have anything to help?"
Mark said straight: "Yes, I need you to enter the Dragon Claw Forest together to cooperate with me to catch it."
John frowned immediately after hearing this.
He has heard of the danger of the Dragon Claw Forest even in the big federal cities. As part of the Golden Leaf Forest, the largest and second largest primeval forest in the White Eagle Federation, the Dragon Claw Forest is not as dangerous as the main part.
The Jedi is not something that ordinary people can go deep into.
This forest has five branches across the western Union between the states of Golden Sands and Chadwick. It is like the five finger claws protruding from the abdomen of Golden Leaf Forest, so it is named, but the most famous one is
It is a fog that appears intermittently in the forest at irregular times all year round.
This is a terrible fog that can block vision, interfere with all the ways of distinguishing paths, such as compass. Even the old hunter who is most familiar with the forest environment will find it difficult to leave the forest alive whenever he encounters the fog, or he will never be able to live.
No corpses can be seen when a person dies.
Some people even say that this kind of fog is the fog in the underworld brought by the god of death, and is specially used to harvest the terrible fog of the souls of the living.
In recent years, there have been fewer than one hand in the fog of the Dragon Claw Forest.
To be precise, there are only three.
Two of them died soon after being injured and infected, while the other seemed to be frightened and had lost the consciousness of a normal person and could not ask what was going on.
However, because the Dragon Claw Forest produces some special precious prey and specialties, there are always some adventurers who do not believe in evil in the process of entering them every year. Except for a few lucky people who have not encountered the fog, the rest of them leave themselves in the forest.
.
Therefore, John was very hesitant to penetrate into this unregulated and majeure-impermeable dangerous environment.
The wolf described by Lao Mark is very similar to an animal that has turned on its spirituality. If this spiritual beast can be captured, the internal organs of the other four beasts can be more than ten times as effective as before, even if the internal organs of ordinary beasts are used, the foundation-building effect can reach more than ten times that of the previous ones.
.
I have to say that John was a little moved.
The reason why John really let go of his concerns about danger and chose to join the team was a sentence from Old Mark.
