Chapter 6: Hunting and Traps

After obtaining the druid's address, Henry consulted with Cagan and decided to visit the druid lady tomorrow morning in order to get an accurate picture of the village's diggers. After nightfall, Henry returned to his room, copied the two magic techniques that he had not used during the day onto the scroll, and lay down on the chuang to open the system.

Human, male, 14 years old, absolutely neutral, class: mage level 1, experience 1063/2500, druid level 1, experience 1062/2000

During the day, each digger contributed a whopping 975 XP to Henry. Goblins, on the other hand, only have 35 experience. This shows that the bugs are ferocious and difficult to deal with, so it's no wonder that ordinary adventurers don't come here. Kill three more to move up to level 2 mages and druids. I hope tomorrow's news won't be too bad, and if the number exceeds too many estimates, I'll turn around and run away. After thinking about it, Henry began to prepare spells and magic spells, and after praying, he took off his clothes and began to rest.

Gette's early morning wake up, she's been feeling anxious lately. There are so many burrowing bugs that her animal companion Yun Ying tells her that there have been more than three bug attacks on passers-by this month. If it continues like this, there will be no other animals in the whole forest. It's also a matter of time before a village is attacked by bugs.

Suddenly, someone outside the house shouted, "Is Lady Jedid here?" She immediately opened the door to the treehouse when she heard the call. A dwarf and a teenager were seen standing under the tree. The two were Cagan and Henry. The female druid quickly climbed down from the rattan on the edge of the treehouse. He asked; "Find me something."

Henry looked at the lady briefly. Black leather armor, carrying a spear more than two meters on his back, brown hair, brown eyes, slender limbs. There is also a pair of pointed ears. Wait, pointy ears? It's an elf or half-elf.

He stepped forward to the female druid and said, "Hello beautiful elf lady, we are adventurers who have come here to hunt the diggers. Yesterday we heard at Brown's house that there have been so many of them in recent years, and we wanted to check them out here. ”

Kitty thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of them, at least more than 50 in the whole area. Plus, I'm just a half-elf. When she found that the two people in front of her were here to help, her attitude immediately improved. Then he continued: "If you are here to hunt insects, you need to kill at least 25 of them, and you can come to me to claim the reward with the evidence of killing them. For 200 gold each, young druid, I can give you another piece of magical equipment. ”

The dwarf whispered, "It's a good business, I think we can move on." As soon as he heard that there was a great reward, Cagan immediately became happy. Henry thought for a moment, 25 bugs could get a total of 5,000 gold coins and a magic item. After killing, the shell can be sold for 12,500 gold coins, and the profit of a mission is directly 20,000.

"If you wish, we will bring the heads that killed 25 bugs in 3 days as proof." Henry finally agreed.

"There's a huge burrow to the west of Brown Farm where most of the burrowers mate. You start there. Seeing that the other party took over the task, Kitty also became happy, and reminded the two of them by the way.

After half an hour of walking, Henry and Cagan came to a huge hole in the ground, the diameter of which was more than 5 meters. It was pitch black inside. "I think I should go back to the village and buy some torches." The dwarf, who found himself ill-prepared, suggested.

"Illumination" Henry performed a level 0 trick on the dwarven axe. Cagan's large axe emitted a soft glow, and the dwarf directly reached into the pit with the axe in his hand and found that it could illuminate about 7 meters. "Magic is so handy." Cagan sighed, then found a large tree, tied a rope, and jumped into the hole. Henry then climbed down the rope as well.

The cave is not deep from the ground, only about ten meters, and the tunnel in the cave is very spacious, about four meters high and three meters wide, and it is not a problem to run and fight. Pico's spirit Louise was sent out to scout the cave with a small wooden stick that had been released from the Luminosa. Such a small thing will not attract the attention of the burger.

Henry and Cagan were at the entrance of the cave to gather their gear and prepare the scrolls. In less than ten minutes, Louise flew back and began to report to her master. Henry frowned, thinking while feeling the thoughts of the demon **. The entire cave is not small, and the Jedi Bugs are distributed in all corners of the cave. Most of them were in a pile of two or three, and at the innermost point there was a big man with a volume of more than four meters and four three and a half meters mixed together.

After a brief discussion with Cagan, he felt that it would definitely not work to break through. The two decided to lure the insects to the entrance of the cave by luring the snakes out and then burn them to death. Now that the two people have been identified, they began to act. Cagan was in charge of collecting firewood, while Henry went back to the village to buy some oil to burn. An hour and a half later, a dozen meters below the entrance of the cave was covered with a thick layer of firewood and hay. Henry also came back from the village, and brought a torch and two clay pots of rapeseed oil, which were more than twenty pounds. Spread the oil and sprinkle it on the branches, and the whole flame trap is complete. At that time, as long as the torch is lit and thrown down, the inside of the cave will become a death passage more than ten meters from the entrance of the cave, and the digging insects that rush out of it will be stuck here, and then release a greasy technique to ensure that none of them can escape. Cagan rested for a while and began to take off his helmet and armor, trying to lighten his weight and make himself run as fast as possible.

"Why am I the bait every time? It's not nice to be chased by a bunch of big bugs. The dwarf muttered and climbed down the rope.

"Think of the rewards for completing the mission! Cagan, that's 20,000 gold coins. Henry's words immediately lifted the dwarves' spirits.

"Yes, twenty thousand gold coins! Oh my God, how much wine can you buy. I can't wait, hurry up and finish the task, let's go back to the tavern in Belgost and buy all the treasures there. Cagan's brain began to grow uncontrollably.

"Blessing Spell": Henry used a Sacred Tree Scroll before the dwarves could climb down, a spell that made it easier for you and your teammates' weapons to hit the target's vital points. Then he took the torch next to it and lit it with flint and steel.

"Cagan will run faster, I'll pick you up at any time." Henry shouted at the cave.

"I'll run as fast as I can, don't worry," the dwarf replied, and then took the axe blessed with the light spell and walked deeper without looking back. Within a few minutes, Henry could hardly feel a slight tremor on the ground, and it should be Cagan and the army of bugs behind him that were about to arrive.

Henry suddenly found himself starting to get a little nervous, took a deep breath and began to prepare for the greasy technique. The dwarf jumped up from the bottom of the cave, grabbed the rope, and shouted, "Do it!" Then he began to climb up quickly. The long-prepared spell of "Greasy Spell" was cast behind Cagan, and a large patch of grease covered the firewood at the bottom of the cavern. Dropping the torch with his hand, Henry began to pull the rope.

There was a bang at the mouth of the cave, and the oil-soaked wood burned violently, and the dwarf who was still on the rope also suffered. His clothes, shoes, hair, and beard, which he was most proud of, were set on fire. The dwarf who was dragged up immediately began to roll on the ground to put out the fire, and two gallons of water were poured directly on the dwarf, and the fire was extinguished.

Cagan looked a little drenched now, his pants burned under the calves, and his hair was a mess. It turned out that the waist-length and beautiful long beard was only half cut off. But he didn't have time for that now. As soon as the fire was extinguished, he began to put on his helmet and armor, and the ghost wondered if the bugs would rush up immediately.

It took less than two minutes for the dwarf to put on his equipment with Henry's help, and stared nervously at the entrance of the cave with his shield axe in hand. Henry suddenly felt danger behind him, and the dwarf pushed him away, then rolled sideways. A large, blackened insect jumped out of where it had been standing. "Damn, I just know it's not that easy." The dwarf cursed, got up, and quickly rushed forward with his axe. Successfully blocked with a shield, the worm's jaw slashed through the crack in the carapace, and with a "poof" sound, the whole bug's head was cut off in half. Green juice squirted Cagan all over his body. After the blow was successful, an axe was added, and the whole head fell off, and the bug died. Cagan wiped the green slime off his face with his hands and said, "Damn these disgusting things are so hot, I think these other bugs must be roasted down there." ”

Henry walked over and briefly looked at the corpse and said to the dwarf, "The inside of the body of the digging worm is very soft and mostly water, so the heat is deadly for them. This one has been cooked by the heat, and even if we don't kill it, it won't live long. And this temperature is basically not harmful to the shell, so you don't have to worry about the shell being damaged and not being able to sell it. By the way, how many you just attracted. ”

"At least 20 of them, we'll go down and count them after the fire goes out, and if there's anything left, I think we'll have to do it again tomorrow. I'm tired today, it's not an easy job for a three-hundred-year-old dwarf. The dwarf grumbled

Henry nodded and began to continue his vigilance. The fire in the cave burned violently for a full fifteen minutes before it began to go out. The thick smoke blackened the entrance to the cave. After the fire was extinguished, the two of them walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the small number of embers that lit up the inside of the small number of torches. The hole was plugged in with a few bugs. It seems that when it burned, these bugs scalded so hard that they were desperately squeezed out, so that five bugs were stuck in the three-meter-wide hole.

Seeing that there was no danger, the two of them re-tied the ropes and went down to the cave again, looking at these black and shiny digging worms, who would have thought that so many powerful monsters could be killed by a small burning trap. Henry suddenly remembered a sentence from a book he saw before crossing over: "A true mage always solves problems with wisdom, and the one who always solves problems with strength is just a barbarian who uses magic." ”
