Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 9 Hidden Merit and Fame

With a team comes something to rely on, even if it's a team linked together by a temporary contract.

People are such creatures, when they are alone, they will be afraid of many things, but when they enter the collective, they will be much bolder.

"Even if a teammate doesn't seem reliable, it's better than being alone."

Sean comforted himself, and after signing the contract, Gang-chan took Sean and the ogre to the wild area.

In Gang's words, "Two rookies, one stupid, a little short-legged, you can't escape if you go to an area that is too dangerous." ThereforeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Gradually disappearing from the figure, "Kobolds are the best target, they are weak but love to live in groups, an adult kobold will often bring seven or eight young children around, although the experience is small, but it is enough for you to advance, this is also the most suitable target." ”

So, without any supplies or weapons, Sean embarked on his first tragic journey in his life.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Against the afternoon sun, Sean followed behind the ogre, who had long since lost his figure and didn't know where he had gone.

Gangda, who always keeps stealth and turns, really worries his peers, you must know that only Gangda's force is the strongest in the entire team.

Sean was a little flustered, not as relieved as he was in Ann's team.

Occasionally, a rustle came from the depths of the woods, and he was nervous enough to keep up with the ogre, who could be used as a meat shield in case of an emergency.

I don't know if Gangda can read faces, but whenever Sean looks around to confirm Gangda's location, he will appear behind Sean, like a ghost.

"Can't you just lead the way?"

Sean complained, did he have to make it elusive, it was scary.

Sean is also worried that such a valet bounty hunter with erratic whereabouts, if Sean is in danger, he happens to be not nearby, and he will not explain it here.

"Maintaining a stealthy body is the basic rule of an Assassin."

"Nonsense, you just said that it was Ricky of Tallinn, and you are a bounty hunter, not an assassin!!"

"Business is business, do it my way, and trust the reputation of bounty hunters in business!"

Hey, looking at his teammates, Sean sighed, regretting that he had been kicked by a donkey, how could he choose to owe a loan shark and agree to team up with this group of guys.

Look, there's a wild two-headed ogre.

He's silly and looks delicious.

Because Gangda was invisible throughout the whole process, Sean had to follow the ogre.

Along the way, he was led off course twenty-three times, fell into a swamp twelve times, and strayed into a wild furious bear burrow twice.

These two times almost cost Sean's life, and if it weren't for Gang's appearance to save them, I'm afraid Sean would have become a dessert after dinner with Angry Bear.

Later, Sean learned that the Raging Bear was the king creature of this wild area, and if they could kill the Raging Bear, the Raging Bear would have enough experience for the three of them to upgrade by two levels.

After the sixth escape, Sean asks the ogre how he determined his direction and if he was in the wrong place.

"Haha!" Patting his big belly, the ogre said confidently: "Little squirrel, believe in the ogre, the ogre is a smart guy, go north!" ”

"No, it's south!" The other head will immediately answer and give the opposite direction.

Looking at the sky!!

Sean covered his forehead and looked at the sky, he really couldn't understand if the ogre had some misunderstanding of the word direction, and only the concept of north and south was left in his understanding.

I remembered the bounty hunter who patted his chest and said that he had a good reputation, and disappeared almost every twenty minutes, and only after half an hour did he show his face again.

Gang said that this was because the duration of the Shadowwalk had arrived, and he was not one of the Assassins of the Tallinn Dynasty, and he could remain invisible after that.

If the Bounty Hunters could remain invisible, then there would be no Tallinn Dynasty, and any commission would be the Bounty Hunters.

Not being able to figure out the direction and not being able to find anyone is not something that Sean can bear, the hardest thing to endure is when he is having lunch.

Just got two animals named Gugu, Gugu has a single horn on his head, sharp teeth turned out, and hard fur all over his body, some of which look like enhanced versions of wild boars, but because they always love to coo, the adventurers in the camp named this creature Gugu, and Gugu is also the most eaten meat by adventurers.

Sean and Gangda share one, and the ogre eats one alone, both of them eat one with two heads, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Just as Sean was roasting the freshly cleaned Goo on the fire, an ogre's cry for help was heard.

It turned out that the ogre giant was trapped in the skin of the grunt, and struggled inside to let out a low howl. Knowing that Gangda had separated the skin with a dagger, the ogre breathed fresh air again.

The ogre was covered in fresh blood and slammed his mouth, "It tastes great, the ogre wants this squirrel." ”

The other chimed in: "Of course, we're awesome!" ”

Then he touched the flesh and blood on his body, which made Sean on the side breathtaking, this is not only extremely sloppy, the smell of blood and body odor are mixed together, it is really disgusting.

And Sean also found that the ogre would often stare at a large rock or tree stump, and then lean on it affectionately, seemingly taking the stump as his companion, if Sean hadn't stopped the ogre's next step in time, and didn't let the ogre and the stump have an in-depth exchange in simple terms, Sean would probably have been invited to tea.

This is not the team Sean wants, his ideal team is a team surrounded by teammates of different sizes, full of color.

During the day, they took risks to fight monsters together, and their teammates kept shouting six-six-six, cheering for Sean and handing water, and at night they slept together and exchanged feelings in depth.

The more he walked forward, the lower Sean's mood became.

Throughout the road, Sean lost count of how many times the group made mistakes, obviously there was a veteran Gang, but the same trees and the same grass could be exported.

Seeing the sun set, the positive state when he came has long been wiped out, Sean just wants to go back quickly, have a good meal, be able to stay away from the ogre, please that bad smell, and find a clean bed to sleep well.

"Let's go back!" Sean tried to say behind him, hoping that Gangda would appear behind him, "I have a hunch that after the sun sets, the wild area will become very weird, and if you take two rookies, the danger will increase greatly." ”

"It's here, take it easy, my friend."

Recovery came from the branches, and Gang-tin was crouching on them.

Excited, Sean felt that fate had finally favored him, first of all, Gang's reply was not delayed, this was the first thing that went smoothly today, and most importantly, they found their target, kobold, take Uncle Sean's anger!

"Where? How far away are we? ”

Sean couldn't wait to ask, how many times he'd forgotten how many times he'd been stuck in the swamp after it had taken so long.

"To the southeast, about five hundred meters."

With that, Sean and the ogre followed Gangda towards their destination.

After a while, I saw a chaotic camp, like an adventuring party left behind after spending the night here.

The camp was in tatters, but it was inhabited by kobolds of various sizes, the largest of which was directing the other four smaller ones to claw through the flesh of a rotting corpse.

The big kobold took a brass-colored cup to catch the liquid mixed with the internal organs of the corpse, and when the cup was half full, the kobold nodded in satisfaction, opened the mouth full of sharp teeth, and drank it in one gulp.

Whispering twice, the kobolds danced around the corpse and began to eat.

"Gang, what do we do now, do you have a plan?"

Sean pressed the nausea in his heart and asked Gang, there were two more people on the other side than them.

"Plan?" Gangda was a little vague, only to understand that Sean was asking about the battle plan, "No, no, no, we don't need any plans, they're just low-level creatures, just rush up." ”

"Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Gang-chan interrupted Sean, "Look at the ogre, he can't help it anymore. ”

After speaking, Gang Tan stared at the big kobold, as if he was thinking about where it would be better to go under the knife.

"Luckily, there are no forest trolls among the kobolds."

Gang felt the dagger and prepared to sneak over.

And what is a forest troll? Could it be that we are lucky?

Before Sean could figure it out, the ogre stood up and roared.

"The ogre will kill them!" The excited little left couldn't hold back his temperament.

"Ogres will grant them death!" Xiao You didn't go against the tune this time, and he was very uncalm.

With that, the ogre waved the big wooden stick in his hand and rushed forward.

"Take it." Gangda handed Sean a dagger, then disappeared in front of Sean's eyes, and the shadow stepped in, "If you're scared, just wait here, it won't delay you from gaining experience." ”

"Don't underestimate me! Never give up, but it's my way of forbearance! ”

Sean roared, dagger in hand, and kept up with the ogre who rushed up.

The ogre took the lead and smashed headlong into the kobold's lair, startling the kobold who was eating.

The big kobolds yelled, and the small kobolds calmed down and surrounded the ogre.

"The flame burns! It's blood, and you've got a little bit of it on you. ”

As soon as the ogre raised his hand, it was a large fireball that Sean had seen in the morning, and the fireball hit a small kobold straight into it, and suddenly, the kobold's whole body was covered with flames, and he let out a terrible scream.

"Kobold? Now it's the doghead who is dead, hahahaha! ”

After Xiao You finished speaking, he raised a big wooden stick with his right hand and smashed it at the other little kobold, like knocking on a watermelon, and the kobold's head was shattered.

Seeing that the battle situation was not good, the big kobold yelled and slapped the brass cup in his hand in a hurry.

A rhythmic sound came from the cup, and the bodies of the two little kobolds who heard the sound were dyed bright red stripes, like blood.

Ora Ola screamed, and two small kobolds rushed up and attacked the ogre.

The ogre still has a large fireball in his left hand and a wooden club in his right hand to physically strike.

The attack that I thought would be successful failed, only to see the little kobold quickly dodge the fireball and wooden stick, move quickly, and bite the ogre's thigh left and right, Feng Lie's claws tearing at the ogre's huge abdomen.

The ogre screamed heartbreakingly, and it hurt to hear it, and Sean hurried to grab the dagger and stick it into the neck of a kobold.

But Sean overestimated his strength a little, don't look at the ogre who blew the kobold's head with a stick, now Sean is still a child, his strength is not great, and he also underestimates the hardness of the kobold's skin.

I saw that the dagger was stuck in the neck of the kobold, and he couldn't make any progress. The kobold, who was in pain, turned around and abandoned his plan to attack the ogre and pounced on Sean instead.

Sean was thrown to the ground, his shoulder bitten by the kobold, and one of his arms pierced by the kobold's claws.

Seeing Sean pressed to the ground by himself, the kobold once again tried to kill this sneak attack boy.

Sean held the dagger and didn't let go, he couldn't give up, life or death depended on whether he could pierce the kobold's neck.

"You've hurt me! The ogre was furious. ”

"You're taking the lead in sending you to death!"

The ogre ripped off the kobold hanging from his lap, and a large piece of flesh was torn off.

In this way, two hands took the kobold's body and sent it to his mouth.

The left head bites the thigh, the right head bites the throat, and with a click, three pieces of meat fall off.

The kobold lying on Sean was startled by the screams behind him, and at the moment when he was stunned, Sean seized the opportunity to increase his efforts to send the dagger in, while raising his head and biting the kobold's neck.

With a desperate bite, he tore off a piece of flesh, and at the same time, the dagger finally pierced its neck.

"Oh~ Interesting, there will be kobolds blessed with speed, and there is new information about these."

Just as Sean was fighting with the little kobold, Gangda used the shadow step to touch the back of the big kobold, and the big kobold was able to bless the speed of the other kobolds, which surprised Gangda.

After speaking, without waiting for the big kobold to react, a knife pierced its heart.

Clean and neat, such movements show his professionalism.

Sean pushed the dead kobold away and lay panting on the ground.

"Damn it, you didn't say they had such thick skin and so fast!"

It's not Sean looking for trouble, Gangtan has been talking about how weak kobolds are, and their strength is similar to that of children. But now it's okay, both himself and the ogre are injured, and the bounty hunter is too unreliable.

"Hmm~ It's that you're too weak, and this time there's a new discovery, a discovery worth a lot of money, I can think of a lot of gold coins piled up in front of the bounty hunter."

Touching his chin under the mask, Gang was excited about the discovery, but he didn't care so much about Sean's injury.

"Ogres hate fangs and sharp mouths."

Xiao Zuo said angrily, his mouth still stained with the flesh and blood of the kobold.

Xiao You was obviously a lot more particular, and wiped his mouth, "What an idiot!" Shame on the ogre! ”

"It's a big deal, it's time for us to go back."

Gangcheng is satisfied with tonight's receipt, and it seems that this trip can make him a lot of money.

"Are you sure we're going back?"

"Well, sure, what do you want to do with this?"

"Okay!"

After saying that, Sean fainted, and the fatigue of his body couldn't stop coming.

I don't know how long it has been, when Sean woke up, he was lying in a haystack, I don't know who carried him back, I can only hope that it is not an ogre.

Thinking to himself, Sean sniffed at his body, he didn't want to be covered in the stench of ogres.

"Huh? You've woken up, and it looks like you're not sending a defective product! ”

A pleasant female voice came, and Sean widened his eyes and thought to himself that this young man Gangdi was still good, and he would arrange such a tune, but what was the defective product, it sounded weird.

"What do you mean by defective products?"

"=(*)))Alas~ Don't you know, that bounty assassin with you has crushed you in our Peter's Good Times Tavern."

0.0

"!!"

Sean screamed heartbreakingly, what the hell was going on, how he was sold.

Far away from the tavern, Gangda was saying to the ogre, "Bounty is with business, and life or death is not as good as gold." ”

"Where's yesterday's big squirrel?"

"Who knows!"
