Chapter Twenty-Four: The Misty Forest
"So, I hired you this time, hoping that you can protect me, but also because of the snake dragon, I can't bring too strong or too many people to follow me." Roerich said.
"Why too strong or too much?"
Sanjing has never figured this out, and thinks that if someone needs to protect him throughout the process, wouldn't it be more secure for someone with stronger strength, for example, the average strength of the hunter inspector must be beyond that of ordinary hunters, and with such a high commission as twenty gold, many inspector hunters are also willing to do it.
"It has to do with the characteristics of the snake dragon, which according to a friend of mine, is aggressive by nature, and is a dragon species that humans can never tame."
"And they are extremely sensing, and they will accurately judge the strength of the hunter after fighting them." ”
"They generally live in groups, but the big snakes live alone, and if we are too strong or too numerous, some large snakes and snakes will quickly gather together."
"That way, it's going to be a hassle for us to find the remnants of the Misty Forest or escape from it."
Sanjing finally understood that the stronger the snake dragon encountered, the more aggressive it became, and the weaker the person might still have the opportunity to enter and exit the misty forest freely.
The Misty Forest is infested with snake dragons, and if the Misty Forest is the territory of snake dragons, then it is indeed the best strategy to provoke as few snake dragons as possible.
"You mean, we're going to pretend to be weak and run away when we encounter a snake dragon?"
"yes, that's my plan." Roerich looked at the changing scenery around him because of the rush of the beast carts, and fell into deep thought.
Even if Roerich said so, there were still some doubts.
Roerich boasted that the snake dragons were extremely sentient, could they still be as strong as the one of the twelve ancient dragons?
If you hire a Inspector Hunter and let them try not to fight the snake dragon or if they do, it will be okay to suppress their own strength......
And for ordinary hunters, these are indeed high risks, with the possibility of death.
But his and Hanami's strength is not weak, and they don't delve into these anymore at the moment, if there is any danger, protecting Roerich is the first priority.
In this way, I have to remind and watch Hanami, tell her not to be too public, a little loose, this little devil may do some earth-shattering and terrifying things, then they are all finished......
Sanjing looked at Hanami, who was already sleeping crookedly in the beast cart, and secretly thought in his heart, compared to those snake dragons, this little demon next to him was more terrifying......
At the same time, another thought slowly appeared in his mind.
The beast cart galloped along the way, and it didn't seem to encounter too many obstacles.
Occasionally, some mountain roads or potholes are bumpy, and the beasts that suddenly emerge are sent away by the three scenes, or there are curious dragons in the sky who stare at them for a while and then slowly leave.
After passing through the edge of the Anger Mountains, they waded through a stream and reached the entrance to the Misty Forest.
Sanjing found that the forest was much larger than he had imagined, and it was impossible to see where the end of the forest was from this position. Huge trees surround the place, and the so-called entrance is just a row of large trees that happen to be relatively sparsely arranged.
Hanami stretched and yawned, she had been asleep for almost a day, when she jumped out of the beast cart and used the water from the nearby stream to wash.
"Hanami...... Let me start with two points to note about this commission. "Sanjing is already close to Hanami's side at this time.
"What's there to say, isn't it just to protect Roerich the whole time, and then send him back and it's over, it's simple." Hanami was scrubbing her face.
"First of all, there are snake dragon activities in the Misty Forest, and our entrusted task this time is to protect, not to provoke and beat the snake dragon, to find the ruins as safely as possible, and then leave safely."
"Why? I've killed all the snakes and dragons, and we'll be safe!" Hanami said with his head tilted.
That's true, if I kill all the enemies, my teammates will be safe......
But if everyone was as willful as you little devil, all species in the world would have become extinct one by one.
"Roerich wants us not to have too much to do with the snake dragon and find the ruins as soon as possible, so the first one is not to provoke the snake dragon, we have to avoid them as much as possible, and even show weakness, understand?"
"Well, that's boring...... All right. Hanami pursed her lips.
"The second point, if you encounter unforeseen dangers, you are responsible for taking Roerich and leaving immediately, don't hesitate or fight, I will come to the palace to finish." Sanjing said solemnly.
Although he had already understood the entire process of this mission and calculated the possibility of the existence of various dangers, he still felt some hidden worries about some unknown things.
From the time he found out that the savior of the previous era had lost control in this era, from the time he integrated into the three-person team, from the time he planned to establish the hunter group, the world so far has been far beyond his imagination, and he has to admit that he is just a little stronger relic hunter.
Because of this, his ability has lost its greatest reliance, but he inexplicably feels the challenge, as well as the throbbing excitement in his body......
"Why should you go to fight and I have to leave with him? It's not fun! It's not fair! ”
"Because you are stronger, if you want to escape with your strength, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop you......"
"Really?" Hanami looked at Sanjing suspiciously, and said angrily, "But since you admit that Lord Ben is stronger, you still know each other!" ”
"Of course...... Well, for the sake of our commission bounty, we must do what I say. ”
Compared to strength, Sanjing thinks that he is not Hanami's opponent, but the hunter's battle is not purely based on strength, so he finally fooled this little devil, and the biggest hidden danger seems to be solved.
Hanami ran away "slightly".
The "one-stop service" will be waiting here, and Roerich has agreed with the beast riders that if they do not return after half a day, or if they encounter danger, the beast can leave on its own, and the "one-stop service" will end here.
Carrying a bag and seemingly preparing something, the three of them finally stepped into the Misty Forest.
As soon as he entered the forest, Sanjing felt a thick fog that filled without any regularity, wet weeds and many strange unknown plants under his feet, compared to the dense fog created by Jiuju last time, this forest was obviously larger and more hidden.
If there is no one to lead you, I am afraid that you will soon lose your direction not long after entering......
