Chapter 545: Night Attack of Death
There is a terrifying wound on the body of the monster that is more than two meters long, up to half a meter deep, and experienced mercenaries can see that the monster was killed by a single blow, and the bone dragon will definitely not be able to do this kind of sharp blade damage, so it is naturally the masterpiece of Xiao Lori.
There are also some attentive guys who found that after several days of forced marching, most of the mercenaries of the adjudication rank were tired and sleepy and didn't want to move, but this eight- or nine-year-old Lori was good, and she was still full of vitality, as if she had inexhaustible strength.
After dropping the corpse, Hu Tao took a vertical leap, jumped directly on the back of the bone dragon suspended at a height of ten meters, held a three-meter-long large honeycomb, turned around and jumped down.
"Big brother, you taste it, it's sweet!"
Hu Tao lifted the giant hive above his head to keep it from getting dirty.
After rushing to Downton's side, little Lori took out a dagger, cut open the hive, broke off a piece of solidified royal jelly and handed it over, which was the most essential part.
"Not bad!" Downton took a bite and touched the little walnut's head, "I'll make it for you later." ”
"Oh yes!"
Complimented for her efforts, Hu Tao is happy, cheers, hands the honeycomb to Juliet to deal with, breaks off a large piece of herself, and runs to Twilight.
Twilight didn't refuse this time, and with a smile, she licked her finger in honey, "Thank you!"
"Wild honey is a good thing, give me some!"
Muller leaned over, a hippie smile begging, no matter how good this thing is, it is not as expensive as ghost honey, this kid is just taking the opportunity to connect with feelings.
"No, you're a badass, I don't like you. ”
Hu Tao decisively refused, giving Mueller the back of the head.
Downton glanced at Mueller, it seems that Twilight can be trusted, and the most important thing to pay attention to is the man in the black robe and Mueller. Although Hu Tao is a stupid person, her intuition is super good, and she can be treated kindly, and there is absolutely no big problem with her character.
At dinner time, Downton's abundant food was flooded with mouths.
"If you don't dislike it, eat it together. ”
Downton said politely, and Su Ya immediately came over. I picked up a meat skewer sprinkled with spices and slashed it directly on my big mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it all into my stomach.
Walnut picks up some food on the dinner plate and goes to Twilight.
"I don't eat meat!"
Twilight's dinner is very simple, except for the black bread is a pot of water, very self-disciplined, just looking at Hu Tao's innocent big eyes, she can't bear to hurt her enthusiasm, so she eats a few slices of greens.
"Sing you something good!"
Taking advantage of Downton's inattention, Hu Tao took out the empty rock beer can, unscrewed the lid and took a sip secretly. It is handed to Twilight.
"I don't drink. ”
Twilight smiled wryly.
"This is an elven wine that has been cellared for thousands of years, and it can replenish magical energy, energy, and relieve mental exhaustion, which is simply not available on the market. ”
Hu Tao gave Twilight a drink because she was a friend.
Twilight hesitated, and Muller had already run over to the smell of wine.
"Good wine, let me take a sip?"
The others sniffed and looked at the beer can in Hu Tao's hand.
The name of the elf wine is not advertised, and the mellow aroma of the wine fills the surroundings in an instant. The smell alone is already intoxicating.
"Don't think about it. You're not a friend!"
Hu Tao didn't like Mueller, but he didn't want to make people feel stingy, so he pointed to the rice bowl on the table.
Mueller understood and took one as quickly as he could.
The red liquor poured into the rice bowl and created a small whirlpool.
The dwarven brothers and the minotaurs were fond of wine, and fools knew that it was a rare wine. What's more, although Hu Tao's voice was small just now, everyone was a demon after all, and they could hear it clearly word for word.
Mueller drank it dry in one gulp, the beauty was almost bubbling, and his face was full of intoxication.
Goo!
The chiefs swallowed. The eyes are going to bulge out.
"Elven wine, indeed!" said Müller, passing the bowl over again, "another bowl." ”
Hu Tao rolled his eyes directly.
"You drank tens of thousands of gold coins in one sip just now, and you still want to be ashamed?" Juliet, as a maid, has to defend the rights and interests of her master.
Muller smiled like a second goods, completely unrelenting, "I drank it too fast just now, I didn't taste it, and after another sip, I can guess the name of the wine." ”
"Do you think I'm like a fool?"
Hu Tao won't be fooled.
"This can't be a million-dollar gold canister of empty rock beer, right?"
The dwarven brothers looked at the relief on the beer can and recognized its origin.
"This guy uses the best!"
Thinking of the Hubble monoculars in Downton's hand, which is also worth millions of gold coins, everyone is numb, people can't compare, they have been careful, but not to mention the bone dragon and firebird, Downton's own strength alone, they have to weigh it.
While Müller was pestering Hu Tao, the head of the caravan arrived with a team of servants.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your contribution to the caravan, this is a matter of heart, not respect. The chairman was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, and with a wave of his hand, the servants brought a barrel of fine wine and some carefully prepared dried fruit.
"That's what we're supposed to do. ”
Cindy quickly got up, and even the chieftain, who had always looked down on humans, nodded when the chief looked at him, as long as he was not a stupid person, he knew what to do.
"Okay, finally there's something to drink. ”
When the master left, the dwarven brothers couldn't wait to run to the barrel, took a glass, and poured it directly into their mouths.
The minotaurs also crowded with water bladders.
"Leave me more!"
Su Ya shouted, squeezing hardest.
"You're not worried about those wines?"
Hu Tao was puzzled, and he wanted to know that he invited someone to dinner, but they refused.
"This time we just walked out of the demon rift, and there are still more than ten days to go, and the caravan will not clean us up unless it shows off its head. ”
Su tooth swallowed and drank happily.
"Don't worry, this is the custom, when the caravan walks out of the demon rift, it has to send condolences and a bonus to the guards, in addition to boosting morale, it is also to win people's hearts. Otherwise, who would be willing to follow them if they left a stingy reputation?"
Cindy explained that the mortality rate of this trip was high, and there were very few mercenaries who had the courage to earn this salary, and that each mercenary group would run at most once a year, and then they would have to rest. The reunion run-in training has been re-recruited, so the caravans can only be enveloped by high salaries and favors.
Downton and Twilight didn't drink this, the man in the black robe didn't move at all, Mueller poured a glass, sniffed it, and quietly poured it while others weren't paying attention.
After dinner, everyone got into the tent early and began to recuperate. The camp soon fell silent, save for the crackling of the campfire, and the occasional murmur and grinding of teeth.
Joaquín sat in the tent, drinking slowly, and there were a few small dishes on the low table in front of him, which were quite fresh, and naturally they were taken out of the war space.
The masked man sat on the ground with a sword in his hand. closed his eyes and recuperated, and deliberately put on a master's appearance.
"Why do you have to choose this time to do it?"
It was a guy with triangular eyes who spoke. Wearing a noble robe, as well as the position of the guest of honor, all indicate that his status is higher than Joaquin.
"They are now physically and mentally exhausted, and when they relax suddenly, the intake of the medicine will also reduce the rejection. Joaquín explained, in the style of a potions master.
"What about those who haven't drunk the potion? And I remember the potions were limited. You can't waste it, if you delay the master's big event, you don't have ten lives enough to die. ”
Triangle eyes stared at Joaquin with a fierce glint in his eyes, his name was Sterling. He has a dark complexion, like the bottom of a pot, and has a flat head, and his short hair is all upside down.
"I know that you are a powerhouse of the Dragon Slayer Rank, so there is no need to scare me. Joaquin snorted, Sterling was just a lackey of his master, what qualifications did he have to be arrogant in front of him.
"You'd better not play any tricks. ”
Sterling didn't believe the human, and looked at him with a look of superiority in his eyes, because he could pinch him to death with a single finger.
Joaquin got up, elegantly patted off the floating soil that didn't exist on his buttocks, walked to the tent, took out two test tubes, mixed the liquid medicine, and gently shook it.
A fuzzy head tumbled in the solution and dissipated just as it was about to take shape, and then pale green smoke spilled out of the mouth of the test tube and drifted towards the camp in the breeze.
The mist spread into the tent, and after the mercenaries inhaled, their faces showed painful expressions and began to have nightmares, some severe body convulsions, broken skin, and blood flowed.
Hu Tao's ears moved twice, and she bounced up like a rabbit, picked up the tomahawk that was placed beside her, and stood vigilantly in front of Juliet.
Downton also got up immediately, and when he saw that Hu Tao was about to go out to check, he instantly grabbed her collar, put his index finger to his mouth, and shushed.
After poking a hole in the tent with a dagger, Downton looked out.
Some of the mercenaries died in the struggle, others were deformed, and the whole flesh was cracked and peeled along the spine, like a python molting, and a monster in a humanoid suit crawled up.
"What's going on?"
Hu Tao was shocked.
The arms of these monsters were long, almost hanging from the ground, and their bodies were smooth, like newly hatched animals, but they were bumpy and covered with tiny bumps.
Monsters generally have the appearance of human beings before they were alive, but some have extra horns, some have extra tails, and even have three heads and six arms, and so on.
Hu Tao's little nose twitched twice, and immediately covered her mouth and nose, "There's something in the air." ”
Downton took out three gas masks as fast as he could, and threw them to Hu Tao and Juliet, with a cautious expression, "Homer, call Charlotte out." ”
The wolf in a white coat walked out of the cross door, nodded to Downton, and crouched down by the tent to observe the situation.
Some of the monsters took a few steps, like underdeveloped children, and fell directly to the ground, wailing in pain, while others crouched next to the nearest human corpse and began to eat, their bodies visibly strengthening as they ingested the nutrients.
"It's supposed to be some kind of parasitic agent, using humans for live experiments. ”
Xia Luo's expression was very solemn, this kind of potion is all taboo, if the maker is caught, he will be executed directly, and there is no need for a trial.
"It could have been Joaquín!"
Downton was indignant, he always believed that the potion was born to prolong life, and to do so was simply contrary to the original intention. (To be continued......)
