Chapter 1340: Rainy Road in the Mountains
On this day, there was a slight light rain in the Oak Ridge area of the Warcraft Forest, and the spring rain was always like this, not big but long. Braving the drizzle, Ba Naogan was heading south with a dozen or so other elite members of the regiment, who had actually been away from Oak Ridge for a day.
Because this matter was privately requested by the ruling government, the matter was relatively simple, just to get one thing, so Ba Naogan decided to take a small team of people to get it himself, and the rest was led by Emma and the illusionist, and went to another mercenary mission. This arrangement is also to save time without wasting manpower.
"Watch your foot slip. Ba Nao stepped on the wet mud, turned over the wet area, raised the rain hat that covered his forehead, looked down at the direction, and continued to walk forward.
"Keep up. ”
Yuguan followed behind, and the cold rain numbed his face.
"This damn weather is really annoying, either it's going to rain heavily, or it's going to be so long. The mercenaries gathered their raincoats and stepped on the mud with heavy boots, sticking them even harder.
Their raincoat is actually not a raincoat, but a set of the same style of cloak that they specially customized before leaving, and Ba Naogan took the weather into account when he came here, so the cloak was specially made waterproof, and there was also a rainproof hood on it.
Irina patted her stiff face, sniffed and followed closely behind Lowe, glancing back at Susan and Vane behind her, and then Ines followed the group.
Ba Naogan didn't want Ines to come with him, but he had to look around. Ba Naogan had no choice but to agree.
"Captain, it's really strange for you to say, how could those people put things in the Warcraft Forest and not come to pick them up for so long. ”
Ba Naogan walked in front and said: "I also asked the archon, he said that his boss had also come to the Warcraft Forest once when he was a mercenary, during which several companions were killed, and his boss packed up some relics of his fallen companions, but the situation at that time was inconvenient to take with him, so he found a place to hide, and wanted to come back to get it when the matter was done." But then there was an accident during the mission. He had to be forced to quit the Monster Forest with the rest of his companions. He never came back since. Later, his boss became an official, so he thought that he could retrieve his companion's relics, but he didn't have the time or ability to come all the way from the Demon Moon for a while, and he went to the Mercenary Guild to post several missions but no one accepted them. That's why it's up to today. ”
The partner who followed behind said, "It's no wonder. There are very few people who come to the top ten prohibitions every year. No one would make a special trip to such a dangerous place to help him get his relics, and he could only ask someone to help by the way, just like so many of the task lists related to the Warcraft Forest we saw in the Mercenary Guild. ”
"Hmm. ”
Another companion said, "There are many things that are very precious in the Warcraft Forest. These things may be worth 30,000 or 50,000 gold when sold, but no one will deliberately come to the Warcraft Forest to adventure for such a low-profit task, so these entrusting parties can only wait, and when they are lucky, others will accept their tasks. These are the teams of Weishenme who dare to venture into the Warcraft Forest and can go back safely, and they will be so popular when they go back, and they will even be appointed by the hired party to accept their commissions. So as long as we succeed in this adventure, we will become famous in the future and the rewards will be more. ”
"Well, you're right, that's the truth. ”
The mountain road on a rainy day was particularly difficult to walk, and I walked all day, and I didn't go to the scheduled place by the evening.
"It seems that the rain has slowed down our trip, and Jihua was able to get to the place where the consul said to hide things in the evening, but now there is still a long way off. Ba Naogan stood beside a stream, he carried several maps with him, ranging from large to small, but the most detailed map here the route and terrain were not very clear, and he looked at it for a long time to get a rough idea and make sure that he was still in the right direction.
"How far is it?" asked Bimoyer.
"Hmm...... Two hours...... Or three hours. Ba Naogan said.
"Then let's keep walking, it's dark early in the rain, and it's only five o'clock now. Bimoye covered his watch and tucked it into his clothes.
Ba Naogan nodded: "That's what I mean, go to the place tonight to find the things first, and then go back tomorrow." ”
At that moment, there was a sudden exclamation from a person in their ranks, and then the man's voice disappeared as if he had been smothered in a cloth bag.
Everyone was frightened, and everyone drew their swords, watching for the place where the sound disappeared.
"Who~!"
There was no sound, no movement, only the sound of the rain and the murmuring of the stream.
Everyone's hearts became nervous and heavy, in such a quiet valley, there was something that could attack them so quietly, and in front of such vigilant masters as Bimoye and Ba Naogan.
At this time, the sky was not completely dark, but this dull inky blue with a very dim light illuminated the surrounding mountains and trees into a hazy shadow, and you had to widen your eyes carefully to see a wheel corridor that seemed to be there and nothing. In fact, the situation at this time is the most uncomfortable, and it is better to be completely dark. Several mercenaries stared hard and didn't see anything, so they thought that they still had magic crystals on their bodies.
The magic crystal lit up, illuminating a few meters around, but nothing was in sight. Suddenly, there was a 'cooing' sound, very deep and loud, and it was nearby. When Bimoye heard the sound, he immediately shot two fireballs and flew over, and everyone finally saw what it was.
"Oh my god, that's a big toad!" Vane exclaimed, and the huge toad appeared in front of him, startling everyone and hurriedly retreating.
The big toad moved again, and with a flick of its tongue, it instantly stuck to a person who wanted to take him into its big mouth.
"Ice Cream Flower!" Bimoyer's magic was surprisingly strange, and the moment the sticky tongue was about to retract, the blade on the ice cream slashed into the softest tongue of the big toad, saving the person.
A few people who reacted quickly had already made a move at this time, and their sword skills and gun skills swarmed up, and Ba Nao next to him made a move and did not forget to remind: "Be careful of the poison glands on its body, don't go to its back." ”
The toad was four meters tall and resembled a small boxy house, and its back was covered with blue-brown bumps that made people's scalp tingle.
The big toad was injured and croaked even louder, and soon the whole col was cooing and croaking everywhere.
It stands to reason that at this time, the frogs and toads should have been sleeping in the soil for a long time, and they should not wake up, but maybe some monster in the mountain woke up the big toad. But that's not the most important thing right now.
When Susan heard so many sounds, her heart jumped and her face was pale, and an inattentive toad spit out her tongue, wrapped around Susan and carried her into her stomach.
"Susan~!" Irina was startled, and the Red Moon Sky Bow in her hand was fully pulled and released. Susan's screams were like those of her previous companions, and she was swallowed in the middle of her screams.
Ba Naogan's heart was pounding, there were so many toads, the ghost knows how many there were, anyway, he only felt that the whole land and mountains were full of toads one after another. He forcibly pressed the panic in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and save people from here, hurry~!"
Originally, everyone was still afraid of the toad's venom gland, but now it has come to the moment of life and death, and after a while, when all the mountain toads crawl out of the soil, I don't know what it will be like.
"Kill~!"
Regardless of whether the poison would splash out if the knife went down, everyone desperately slashed at the toad. But this big toad is not easy to deal with, ordinary toads seem to be weak, and they can be trampled to death with one foot, but such a big toad, its back, its skin is already very thick, and a knife is like cutting it on a mixed shell.
Bimoyer took off in the air in an instant, and a few ice magic spells hit the toad's back but it had no effect, his magic power lightly lifted the light array to open, and the ice dragon roared.
