Chapter 41

Ten minutes later, Aoki took Dark Crow and Dumb Beast on the road to complete the mission again.

Aoki, holding a dagger, was walking in the woods. By comparing the surrounding environment and the markings on the map, if you want to continue looking for the quest item, the first thing you need to do is to return to the road drawn on the map.

The dark crow hovered above Aoki's head, always paying attention to the surrounding situation. In this dangerous forest, the chip with a small detection range is not enough to respond to sudden situations in time.

Dumb Beast followed Aoki closely, with blue light in his eyes. Under the action of his mind, Dumb Beast, which was originally slower, was able to keep up with Aoki's footsteps.

Having fully learned the lessons of the encounter with Gotha Duck, the Dark Crow, as Aoki's first line of defense, was able to detect the enemy's traces as soon as possible, and attacked and killed the enemy before it came into contact with Aoki.

If the enemy's strength is strong enough, it doesn't matter if it crosses the defense of the dark crow, because the dumb beast closely following Aoki is the second line of defense.

Dumb Beast can control the enemy with mind power as soon as the enemy crosses the defense of the dark crow, and then quickly defeat it together with the assistance of the reacted dark crow.

Even if the sneak attacking elves are very powerful, the Dark Crow and the Dumb Beast can't be defeated together, so as a last resort, the Dumb Beast's teleportation can also protect everyone's safety.

Perhaps it was because the aftermath of the battle between the tyrannical carp dragon and Minas that appeared yesterday was too strong. Today, in the forest near the lake, elves are still relatively rare, so Aoki did not encounter any powerful elves along the way, so he walked safely. Nearly an hour.

Slowly, the distance from the waterfall became farther, and the water vapor in the air was not as dense as before. Following this, the elves in the forest gradually showed their presence.

According to the display of the map, according to the current walking speed, after another hour, you can smoothly return to the road drawn on the map.

Once again, a vine blocking the road was cut off, revealing the beast path hidden behind. Walking on the animal path, although the possibility of encountering elves is relatively high, at least the animal path has a way to go, which is much better than the branches and bushes everywhere.

Aoki did not hesitate, so he directly set foot on the beast path. With the dual protection of Dark Crow and Dumb Beast now, there is basically no need to worry about safety.

Sure enough, the battle broke out before long on the beast path.

I don't know if it's because of the good luck before, but now the luck has become worse, or because of walking on the animal path. One after another, wild elves attacked Aoki. Although these elves were not high-level, under the protection of Dark Crow and Dumb Beast, not to mention getting close to Aoki, few of them could break through the first level of Dark Crow.

In the battle in the forest, the dark crow can be described as a dragon entering the sea, and the body that is more and more adaptable to the load, the speed is further accelerated. Now carrying a load of 10 pounds, the speed is almost catching up with the time when I just set off.

Quickly shuttle back and forth between trees, playing enemies one by one in the palm of your hand.

For example, the monkey monster in front of him that was blown away by the dark crow originally relied on his ability to quickly shuttle between the woods, and wanted to attack Aoki directly with this, but he did not expect that the dark crow would find it at the moment of the shot. , and then under the premise of the flight system restraining the fighting system, this monkey monster with a level of 19 was attacked by the dark crow's wings and killed in seconds.

This was just one of many attacks, but there was no exception. When the elves planned to attack Aoki, their fate was doomed.

Aoki did not choose to keep his hand, and all the elves who shot were killed by the dark crow and the dumb beast. In this forest of the fittest,

If they keep their hands, more and more elves will attack by chance, until finally the Dark Crows and the others cannot resist.

And the decisive shot, the merciless killing, can cause a certain shock to the surrounding elves. Every elves that attacked were relatively good in the forest, so whenever they were killed, no elves would dare to continue to attack for a period of time until they left this area.

After reaching another area, new elves will attack them directly without fear of death.

The dark crow and the dumb beast also directly killed every elf who dared to shoot because of the incident of the Gotha Duck. Their resentment towards the Gotha Duck can only be vented on those elves who came to the door to send their lives to their deaths. on the body.

However, as more and more elves were killed, the dark crow and the dumb beast became more and more hostile, carrying a faint smell of blood, and fewer and fewer elves dared to take action. Many originally wanted to take action. The elves were all frightened by the evil spirits on the dark crow and the dumb beast.

In the short one-hour journey, Aoki and the others walked for nearly two hours, because there were too many attacks on the road. Although the troubles continue, the results are still very good. First of all, the level of the dark crow has been raised again to level 18. Although the level of the dumb beast has not been improved, it is more proficient in the mastery of skills and fights under the command of the trainer. way more familiar.

If the dumb beast at this time fights with the dark crow when it was conquered before, I am afraid it will not be so easy to conquer, even if the dark crow is an evil spirit to restrain the super power of the dumb beast, this short two hours Time, not only superpower skills, but also the beast's mastery of water skills has also been greatly improved.

Most importantly, Dumb Beast gradually learned its own fighting rhythm and was able to respond to attacks in a timely manner.

Finally, I returned to this road again. At first, because I was chased by the Lada group, I hurriedly ran to the waterfall, and then I met the dumb beast and finally conquered it. This is also a kind of fate.

After sighing for a while, Aoki said, "Finally back on this road, it took a long time." He smiled bitterly, and then said, "Take a break, prepare lunch, and continue on the road in the afternoon."

I chose a relatively flat tree, accumulated some dead branches and leaves, and made a simple fire.

Finally, Aoki took out two of the four hares that he had just caught on the road from the storage space of the Rockets belt, and some seasonings such as salt and pepper that were specially bought for seasoning.

Using a dagger to skillfully skin the hare, remove the internal organs, and wash it with water with the help of the dumb beast. In this way, the original two fluffy hares turned into two pieces of rabbit meat with delicious meat.

It didn't take long, after Aoki's meticulous grilling, four roasted golden and crispy rabbit meat appeared in front of him, and at this time, the dark crow and the dumb beast who had fought hard all morning came early. Arriving in front of Aoki, he looked eagerly at the fragrant and oily golden rabbit meat.

Although the dark crow only eats energy cubes for him, and the taste of energy cubes is also very good, but for Aoki's excellent barbecue skills, he can't give up, so every time he eats the barbecue before using it Energy cubes fill the remaining belly.

After trying Aoki's grilled fish for the first time, Dizzy Beast was also unforgettable about the taste. Now that he saw the grilled rabbit meat that seemed to be more delicious, of course, he drooled for the first time and waited to eat it.

Aoki smiled and cut one of the roasted rabbits in half with a dagger and ate it by himself, put the other in the dark crow's rice bowl, and gave the remaining two and a half directly to the dumb beast.

The food intake of the dumb beast is much larger than that of the dark crow. Only two and a half roasted rabbits can barely eat enough, and the rest of the stomach is left on the road. When it sees the tree fruit stone that it likes, the dumb beast will use its mind power to eat it. Pick it up and eat it as you go.

"Okay, it's time to start." After distributing the food, the Dark Crow and the Beast did not move, but waited for Aoki's order, and ate quickly after he said it was okay to eat.

The dark crow was the first to finish eating, and glanced at the rabbit meat left in the dumb beast rice bowl, then lowered his head and started to eat the energy cube that Aoki had prepared a long time ago.

Originally, Dumb Beast wanted to give a little more to the Dark Crow, but after the Dark Crow refused, he gave up.

Soon, leisurely lunch time passed. During the period, there were also elves who were lured by the fragrance, but when they saw the dark crow and the dumb beast, and felt the faint bloody smell lingering on them, they finally chose to give up.

After dinner, Aoki took out the map and looked at it.

Now I have returned to the original road. Although from the distance, it should be able to reach it in a day. However, considering that there will be elves on the road, and after gradually deepening, the level of the elves will become higher and higher. It will get worse and worse, so count the time as two days.

After the noon break and the supplement of lunch, the Dark Crow also returned to its peak strength.

After embarking on the road to complete the task again and enjoying the leisurely afternoon time, Aoki took the dark crow and the dumb beast to the forest again.

However, not long after they left, a few people suddenly appeared at the place where Aoki had just grilled the meat.

The person in the lead slowly walked to the ashes left after Aoki's barbecue with a smile, and stretched out a slender white hand. He didn't care that the ashes would contaminate his hands. He lightly touched the temperature on the ashes, and then Put it on the tip of the nose and sniff it.

Turning his back to everyone who came with him, he showed a cold smile and murmured, "What a coincidence, Aoki!" The last two words were almost spit out from his mouth through gritted teeth.

A man behind him watched his movements, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Have you found anything? Soros."
