Chapter 2614 Embarrassment

As I regained my strength, the battle was won with an overwhelming advantage.

In this battle, Jackson consumed the most and his magic value was reduced to half. Billy was injured the most and received a claw on his chest. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, but the skin was turned out and dripping with blood, but it was shocking to see.

Gordo was heartbroken when he saw this, and quickly cast the healing spell. He cast it for a quarter of an hour, directly consuming one-third of the remaining magic power.

Under the healing halo filled with the power of transformation, not only did Billy's injuries heal, but his skin became oily and shiny.

I, who was watching from the side, was stunned by this scene. The heart healing technique can actually beautify the skin, detoxify and purify the skin?

two minutes later

Zach's voice interrupted my dumbfounded state. Feeling the doubtful looks of everyone, I coughed twice in embarrassment and ordered: "Continue patrolling the mountain."

After killing more than a dozen sharp-clawed humanoid monsters in succession, there were very few obstacles encountered on the way. The biggest threats were a few colorful snakes, several ferocious beasts, and a bear over two meters tall.

Facing these ferocious beasts and venomous snakes, I had no intention of hunting them. Except for the venomous snakes, which I personally dealt with, other ferocious beasts were dealt with by others except Billy.

The solution is simple, beat them to see if they are subdued. If not, beat them again until they are subdued, and then release them. This way you can solve the dilemma without causing any killings.

Due to the beast's intelligence and nature of avoiding danger, the giant bear and several small beasts honestly chose to escape after receiving a violent beating.

On the contrary, there were several colorful venomous snakes. I don’t know whether they were blindly confident in the poison in their fangs, or whether they thought that all my actions, which I never got bitten but could kick them several times, were due to It was a fluke. In short, after being kicked one after another, the poisonous snakes had no intention of running away. Instead, they were fiercely fighting. They shook their triangular heads, spit out letters, and continued to prepare.

I finally got annoyed, so I swung my knife and flipped it with my backhand, ending the fight.

All the time added up to a total of twenty minutes and one second. Twenty minutes was the time spent beating the poisonous snakes and waiting for them to leave on their own initiative. One second was the time it took to draw the knife, lift it with the backhand, and sheath the knife.

Billy glanced at the poisonous snake that was chopped to pieces and sneered: "Why spend so much time if you can solve it easily?"

"These are the ecology of this forest. If it is not necessary, kill as little as possible."

With that said, I turned to Billy and grinned: "Besides, do you think it's interesting to swing a knife at a weak person?"

Billy was startled when he heard this, and then curled his lips disapprovingly.

Billy never bothered to kill the weak unless the other party took advantage of it.

This forest is very large, and it took us two days to complete the tour.

After returning to the original starting point and resting for a while, I just stood up and gave the order to continue patrolling the mountain along a different route. Zach said in a different voice: "That's enough. Continuing to patrol the mountain will only delay more." time."

I stared at Zach and said word by word: "We have only walked around a circle, and there are still many places that we have not visited. Aren't you worried that there will be monsters hiding in them?"

"No, it's enough," Zach said: "For Florence and me, most of the entire guild has mobilized. This kind of kindness can no longer be repaid. I really feel sorry for continuing to waste time here."

"We are all family members, why are we so far away from home?" I reached out and patted his shoulder.

"That's right." Billy said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite to Xiao Yi. The fact that you regard your family as very important is a rare thing that I like about Xiao Yi."

Jackson also chimed in: "Just like Xiaoyi said, Zach, you don't need to see anyone else. If you just patrol the mountains, it won't take much time at all. Moreover, this forest is so vast, there may be some treasures buried in it. What if we find him?"

"Hahaha, you have changed, Jackson, you have become greedy!"

Billy teased him.

"Greed is the prerequisite for progress." Jackson also smiled naively: "I feel like I have taken another step forward."

After saying this, he suddenly turned to me and asked cautiously: "Xiao Yi, what do you think is the chance of winning if I take another step forward and pursue the boss's wife?"

I thought hard for a moment and stretched out three fingers.

Jackson was ecstatic and dancing like crazy.

I pinched my chin and thought deeply: Three percent. It shouldn’t be wrong to express it with three fingers.

Five days later

Our footprints have traveled through most of the forest, and except for those young clawed humanoid monsters, we have not encountered any monsters that can pose a threat.

At the same time, I also confirmed the suspicion in my heart - the clawed humanoid is indeed a native of this forest, and it is also the apex predator of this forest - if we are not counted, yes, it is indeed an apex predator. Eater.

Although the young clawed humanoids can still cause a lot of harm to humans, I stopped everyone from hunting them. After all, they are native creatures of this forest. Once they are slaughtered, the food chain of this forest will be destroyed. The deck will be reshuffled, and it will undoubtedly be a disaster.

I didn’t want disaster wherever I went, so I let the group of clawed humanoid monsters run away from us and disappear deep into the forest.

Zach was worried about this, and Billy even frowned and asked me why I let these little monsters go.

Jackson didn't say anything about my behavior, but there was still doubt in his eyes. On the contrary, Gordo had no doubt about it. Perhaps in his opinion, as long as the captain's words and deeds did not violate his conscience, he could approve it with both hands. .

After thinking about it again and again, I didn’t explain to Zach and the others the disastrous consequences of breaking the balance of the food chain, because I knew very well that Billy didn’t care, Zach only cared about the life and death of human beings, and Jackson might be better, but he wouldn’t either. He believes that the life and death of monsters is more important than humans.

So, I had to change the reason and choose one that they could accept: "Before coming here, I learned about the history of this town. For more than a thousand years, there were real humans who died in the forest, and they were killed by monsters. No. To two hundred, most of them were adventurers. Their corpses were found deep in the forest. Although there were traces of dragging, they were only dragged less than a hundred meters, and the starting point of the dragging traces was Still deep in the forest, do you know what this means?"

My eyes fell on several people's faces in turn, and I asked quietly.

The wind blew through the branches and leaves, bringing bursts of fragrance of grass and trees, but the expressions of Billy, Zach, and even Jackson looked a little ugly - or embarrassed would be more appropriate.
