Earth Player chapter 26

Irish Town (8)

 Magic Beast Forest

     On the fifth day of entering the Irish Town dungeon, Ye Mo finally killed the first level 1 monster in the main quest 2, although the process of killing the monster was a bit unscientific and unrealistic.

     She would soon find out that it was not a fantasy.

     A single level 1 monster was purely a gift to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. It might be a little more likely to catch a rabbit than to wait for one. There was nothing to be excited about or celebrate.

     After digging out the level 1 crystal core from the heart of the wolf, Captain Hook took out two pieces of ordinary burlap from the storage ring.

     Wrap the poisonous black snake head in one piece, and roll up the rest of the black snake bodies and put them in the space ring.

     The monster meat in this world does not contain any magic energy.

     But as long as it is non-toxic, it can be eaten. This is the only source of meat on the Celtic continent, and the monster meat can also be sold for some copper coins.

     Even if the fangs of the level 1 black snake head are low, some people use them to make weapons. Selling them to the potion master is the best choice.

     Venom and fangs are also the basic materials for making magic potions.

     Ye Mo still has three bottles of high-level magic potions in her arms: "Magic potions are really magical things, and so are the materials for magic potions."

     "Of course."

     Alice agreed very much, but unfortunately her talent was too low, no magic potion master was willing to accept her as an apprentice, and she couldn't afford the loss of materials in the process of learning magic potions.

     The group quickly left this small battlefield, because the smell of blood would attract the strongest magic beasts or magic beast groups in a certain area. The longer they stayed in the same place, the more dangerous it would be.

     "This is a level 1 wind crystal core, so the venomous snake just now can have a faster speed."

     Captain Hook handed the crystal core he had just obtained to Ye Mo. The crystal core was yellow. Unlike the fire crystal core, the wind crystal core was cool to the touch and closer to a gem.

     Ye Mo accepted it.

     According to the mercenary agreement, she would personally end the lives of 15 magic beasts in this mission, and 7 magic beast crystal cores belonged to her, which was in line with the part of the advance agreement.

     In the next hour, there were no more level 1 monsters delivering food.

     There was a single level 2 monster eagle that attempted to attack from the air. The mercenaries killed the eagle with a united method that was three times more difficult than killing a snake, but the swordsman who was first attacked was unfortunately injured.

     Leader Hook took out the healing potion from the storage ring without changing his expression. The other members, including Alice, were not surprised.

     For the first time, Ye Mo experienced the life on the edge of a knife of the mercenary group.

   It must be mentioned that the mercenaries still decided to let Ye Mo kill the monster,

 【Triggering side quest 1: Killing level 2 monsters (1/10)】.

     "Level 2?"

     The mission is unpredictable.

     Monsters are alive. It is impossible for the survivors to wait foolishly for the survivors to kill 100 level 1 monsters before killing level 2 monsters. You may encounter various bosses and various life threats on the way to killing low-level monsters.

     Ye Mo, who respected the contract, did not keep her sight on the 2nd-order crystal core for long. Her eyes were clear and without greed, and she brushed up the favorability of the members in the group again.

     A person who can hold back in front of interests will be a friend worth making friends with. But the goblins don't look down on this little silver coin?

     Alice was even more caught up in her own imagination:

     "Maybe Maria's relatives or lovers died in the monsters, and she just wanted to help them avenge. Oh my God, how poor Maria!"

     The system arranged that life, obviously to give Ye Mo an excuse to kill monsters.

...

     The journey from the Irish town to the outskirts of the forest is not short.

     After killing two monsters, it was already past noon, and Captain Hook found a relatively open place to eat lunch.

     In the forest full of dangers, of course, there will be no picnics such as processing bloody ingredients, lighting fires for grilling, frying, boiling and steaming.

     Ye Mo has a further understanding of the convenient food in this world.

     The staple food is dry food biscuits, and the dry food biscuits are indispensable for chestnut powder.

     There are other sour, sweet, bitter or astringent wild fruits in the food pile, which are crispy and look like the various fruits on the earth.

     In addition, there are various kinds of monster jerky.

     Regarding the types of monsters, except for the legendary dragon-level ones, generally no majestic names are summarized.

     Most of them are simple, such as ice wolf level 5, fire deer level 2, wind tiger level 6, and water snake level 4. Stronger monsters may add color and appearance description words.

     Similarly, wolf jerky, venison jerky, tiger meat cubes, rabbit jerky, etc. are simple and straightforward.

     Goblins and elves have the same staple food as vegetables. Ye Mo did not eat the various kinds of jerky, but she tasted more than a dozen of the fruits shared by Captain Hook.

     The taste is worse than chestnut fruit and can quench thirst, but it is not as full as chestnut fruit. Chestnut fruit can be used as a staple food not because it is cheap.

     Alice is an apprentice of fire magician. At this time, it is very convenient to use a fireball to heat water, soak the slightly hard and cold dry food biscuits, and then eat with a series of dried meat, and sweet fruits after the meal.

     This is the common breakfast, lunch and dinner when the mercenary group goes on a mission.

     "Thank you." Ye Mo took a meat skin pot of hot water from Alice and took the opportunity to express her curiosity about magic.

     Natural magic elements include wind, fire, electricity, water, earth, gold, wood, light, space, etc. When an ordinary person's body can absorb a certain element, he/she can become an apprentice of a magician of a certain department.

     The richer the natural magic elements in the body, the higher the level of the magician and the stronger the ability.

     According to magic theory, the magic circle is one of the media that can transform the magic factors of nature, which can consume the magic power of the magic core and gather and borrow the magic factors in the air.

     Then, the magician is also a strong medium for absorbing and transforming the magic factors of nature, and is also an important medium for sustainable enhancement.

     Among them, spells are the main way for magicians to use magic power.

     Alice chattered a lot of magician common sense.

     Through her, Ye Mo also knew that the Magician Chamber of Commerce in the town had a bookstore, which sold a variety of magic theory books.

     It was not that she had the leisure to study magic, but that she had a demand for magic circles.

     High-level craftsman = more gold coins = knowledge + magic beasts = main quest + becoming stronger.

     If Goblin wanted to be promoted to a high-level craftsman, it was necessary to systematically study magic circles.

     Ye Mo silently included the Magician Chamber of Commerce bookstore in her future plan.

     Speaking of magic, Alice gossiped about a "weird person" sourly.

     "There was a 1st-level wind magician named Bella, who was chosen as an apprentice by a 6th-level magician of the Mage Association because of her high talent, but she refused and heard that she joined the Storm Mercenary Team."

     The mercenaries were all amazed that someone didn't want to improve her strength, even though the Storm Mercenary Team was quite famous in the town.

     But magicians and swordsmen are still different. At the same level, magicians are more respected.

     "..."

     Ye Mo knew who Bella was. The main task of the survivors is not to survive, but to kill 100 monsters.

     Perhaps it is because magicians have too many restrictions and it is difficult to balance the two, so Bella gave up an opportunity to learn from a master for the sake of mission and freedom.

     It is not difficult to guess that Bella has been a magician since she entered the dungeon world.

     Among the survivors who joined the Storm Mercenaries at the same time as Bella, only Arthur attracted the attention of the Wild Wolf Mercenaries because he had a rare long-range weapon in his hand.

     The strength is higher than that of the beginner archers.

     Ye Mo understood immediately:

     ... Colt M1917 revolver.

...

     After a simple lunch, the mercenaries began to be busy with tasks again.

     In the afternoon, no matter the first or second level, no single monster came out to deliver food.

     Captain Hook gave an order to take the initiative.

     In the nests at the locations that have been marked, use temporary traps or trapping methods to kill the free or lone low-level monsters.

     The process is a bit slow, but it is safe.

     Except for a magic beast that was accidentally stabbed to death by the deputy leader Thomson, Ye Mo killed 6 level 1 magic beasts one after another.

     I don't know if it is a coincidence. According to what I saw with my own eyes and the descriptions of the mercenaries, there is a small overlap between the characteristics of magic beasts and animal races on Earth, leaving aside the magic part.

     When the sunset dyed a small piece of sky in the west red, Captain Hook ordered to stop hunting.

     He led the team members to walk through the lush forest and came to an open space like a half-canyon. This location is quite hidden and there are natural barriers around.

     After checking to make sure there is no threat in the water, the leader announced: "We will camp here tonight."

     Pulling weeds, cutting trees, and cleaning, the mercenaries skillfully sorted out a large piece of clean land.

     Then set up tents one by one.

     Some traps were buried around, and a low-level defensive magic circle was set up to help humans hide their breath within a certain range.

     There is no bonfire. Most monsters are not afraid of fire. Lighting a fire at night is probably because they think they are not dying fast enough. The safest way is to integrate the team into the monster forest.

     The sun has set, and the stars are shining in the night sky. It is a long-lost boundless scenery, magnificent and magnificent, without layers of leaves blocking the sun.

     The vision of ordinary humans is also less affected at night.

     The temperature difference between day and night in the forest is very large, and the mercenaries have successively put on fluffy coats.

     "Aren't goblins afraid of cold?" Alice, who is also born with body heat, stared at her green skin curiously and could sense some body heat: "Maria, you are so warm!"

     "Alice!" Thomson disagreed and scolded.

     "It doesn't matter." Ye Mo told a cold joke to ease the atmosphere: "Alice, you are much warmer than me. You can roast chestnuts, but I can't."

     The mercenaries smiled very respectfully.

     Alice covered her mouth and laughed, and even the most serious deputy leader Thomson couldn't help curling his lips.

     Ye Mo couldn't help but have some illusions. The words of her former colleagues and friends might be false. It turns out that she can also play humor.

     "..."

...

     The party ended very early in the evening.

     The shifts were arranged by the mercenaries. Alice, the leader's sister and the weakest, didn't have to work at night. As the employer, Ye Mo certainly didn't need to work at night.

     After saying good night to others, Ye Mo lay down in her tent. Only then did she feel that the forest was too quiet. The quieter it was, the more subtle sounds she could hear, but she felt insecure.

  【Main Quest 2: Hunting 1st-level Magic Beasts (7/100)】.

     Nearly half of the mercenary task was completed on the first day. Killing Magic Beasts was too easy. Can she find an opportunity to exercise herself tomorrow?

     Ye Mo looked at Master Ian's notes carefully until she heard a faint sound from the tent next door, then she put the notebook down.

     "1 level 1 monster sheep, 2 level 1 monster sheep, 3 level 1 monster sheep... 10 level 5 monster wolves, 11 level 5 monster wolves..."

     Under the hypnosis of counting monsters, after an unknown amount of time, she finally fell asleep.
