In spring, everything revives, the sun shines down, and the entire Thorn Forest is under the sun. It is a dense bush. The area around the bush is very quiet.
Because there had just been a light rain, the ground was a little damp, and the air was filled with a smell of soil and rotting plants. Several small insects flapped their wings and flew around among the vegetation. Suddenly, a small insect curiously stopped on a plant.
The plants suddenly moved, and the frightened insects flew up and fled into the distance. It turned out that there were two people hiding in the bushes. Not only here, but not far from the bushes, there were people hiding in almost every place where they could hide their bodies.
"Romon, I can't lie down any longer. Let's just lie down like this. How long will it take?" In the bushes, Fafier said in a low voice with a grimace on his head against a clump of grass.
Next to him, Romon was buried in the long grass about half a man tall, lying quietly. When he saw him complaining, he couldn't help but glare.
Fafier is an ambush here because of his active nature. He got a little bored lying down, so he complained. It was not that he was physically unable to support it. When he saw Romon staring at him, he immediately shrugged and continued to do lying exercises.
At this moment, a stench suddenly wafted over. While the two of them held their breaths, a group of Raging Rhino suddenly walked over from a distance. Then, while everyone was careful to hide their bodies, the violent animals did not notice them.
It wasn't until he was sure that they were gone that Romon breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Fafier next to him also showed a happy expression.
"Okay, they have passed, everyone can come out." A man suddenly jumped out from a tree not far from where they were hiding. He had a big beard, a burly figure, and a smiling face.
It was none other than the team leader Haiwavi. He put away his bow and arrows and called everyone out.
"Captain, how did you know these guys would appear at this time?" Romon asked curiously when he saw him walking over.
It turns out that the members of this team have been traveling deep into the forest for almost a month at this time. The road in the forest is getting harder and more dangerous every day. However, with the rich experience of Captain Haiwavi, they have been able to avoid danger many times. For example, this Once, when they were walking, the captain suddenly asked them to hide their bodies on the spot. Originally, they were surprised by the captain's behavior. However, when the group of Raging Rhino passed by, they had to sigh at how competent Haiwavi was as a captain.
Especially Romon is ashamed. He is Druid and he hasn't noticed it yet!
Raging Rhino, this animal is very similar to the rhinoceros on the earth. It has rough skin and thick flesh, and is extremely powerful. It is difficult for ordinary weapons to cause fatal damage. Moreover, this animal has a very bad temper, so they will often fight as soon as they see the enemy. With the number of this group of Raging Rhino, if they really confront them, they will probably suffer heavy casualties.
What's more, their mission this time is to continue to catch a Silver Fox. This kind of animal is not killed, but becomes the magic pet of the mage. It can increase the magic clearing effect of the mage, so it is very valuable.
The completion time of the mission is only three months, and nearly half a month was wasted last time due to the accidental injury of captain Haiwavi. For this reason, this forest operation can only succeed and cannot fail. Otherwise, not only will money be lost, but the credibility of the team will also be damaged.
"Actually, this is very simple, because Raging Rhino is an animal with a strong sense of territory. Once they determine the territory, they will not leave easily. The same is true for other monsters. Therefore, as long as you walk through it once and know what kind of animals are in which places, you will naturally be prepared in advance the next time you go. Those that are easy to deal with will be dealt with directly, and those that are difficult to deal with will of course be avoided. I avoided it. Romon, you are very good. Along the way, you asked me if I didn't understand anything and observed any phenomenon. This habit is very good. If you continue to maintain it, you may become a great adventurer in the future, who knows, haha." Haiwavi laughed and patted Romon on the shoulder, seeming to appreciate his seriousness.
Romon smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I only asked them to draw the map better. My combat skills are good if I can protect myself. How can I become a great adventurer?"
"Hey, you are too humble. Although you are just Druid, with your hard work and seriousness, as long as you really want to practice, your combat skills will definitely be improved." Captain Haiwavi said seriously. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, how is your map drawing?"
"I haven't started drawing it yet, but I have recorded the route and circumstances along the way. I plan to draw it together after a while." Romon replied.
"Well, that's right. Well, after we pass through Raging Rhino's territory, you can go and have a good rest. After all, unlike us, who are accustomed to the life of walking in the forest, this is your first time entering the depths of the forest, right?" Looking at the distance, captain Haiwavi said to himself. "In two days' walking, we should reach the area where Silver Fox is in front of us."
Then it was time to integrate the team and continue on their way. Although Raging Rhino was temporarily evaded, it would not be truly safe if we did not step out of their territory for a while.
And one month after Haiwavi Squad entered Magic Beast Forest, Romon finally met the legendary Silver Fox. Originally, according to the memory of captain Haiwavi, half a month ago, he They should have arrived at Silver Fox's territory. However, because Silver Fox is suspicious by nature, they hovered in this area for nearly half a month, and then in an accident, they saw a Silver Fox.
Silver Fox is a non-social animal, solitary and cunning in nature, and likes to be alone. This time, they were lucky enough to see this Silver Fox because of the discovery of Romon.
Because they had been circling for nearly half a month with no results, the team members were very discouraged. As a person who came only as a companion, Romon had no burden on his heart, so when everyone was in a bad mood, he took the initiative to pick up firewood and make a fire. He also checked the terrain and made preparations for map drawing.
That afternoon, when he left the camp and went to pick wood, suddenly, a mess of footprints caught his attention. They were two different footprints, both small, and seemed to be left by two animals biting each other, with faint traces of blood in the middle.
The small footprints looked very similar to the footprints of Silver Fox mentioned by the captain. Although Romon was not sure, he still went back and told everyone the news.
Captain Haiwavi was overjoyed when he saw it. "It's Silver Fox! It shouldn't have gone far, chase it quickly!"
Following the footprints, I saw an unexpected scene. A group of Mountainback Wolfs were fighting with a Silver Fox. Seeing the appearance of everyone, the group of Mountainback Wolfs actually turned around and launched an attack on humans.
Mountainback Wolf, its habits are similar to those of wolves on Earth. They are also ferocious and carnivorous animals. However, their combat power is twice as high as that of wolves on Earth. In addition, most of them live in groups and gather together, which is quite a headache.
Regarding the information about Mountainback Wolf, Romon once read it in a book. When he saw one of them jumping towards him, he quickly drew his sword to meet it. Although his strength was not enough, at the critical moment, he thought of the assassination skills he had learned. He made a slight mistake and gave a fierce blow, which actually penetrated the heart of the Mountainback Wolf cleanly and neatly.
"Not bad, good job!" Seeing that Romon could kill a Mountainback Wolf cleanly despite being at a disadvantage, Captain Haiwavi, who had been paying attention to him, suddenly showed admiration. However,, and soon, he turned his attention to Mountainback Wolf, which was rushing towards him. And Romon, side by side with Fafier, dealt with the next Mountainback Wolf.
It has to be said that this month and a half of training has had a great impact on Romon's combat skills. He has made rapid progress. The things he has learned before have been gradually enriched and integrated through continuous application. The same is true for Fafier. After this month and a half of training, his strength has almost exceeded the level of Third Level.
Although, in the eyes of others, most of the time they just act as backup logisticians, they themselves know how much this experience has had a huge impact on themselves.
"Romon, be careful!" At this time, a Mountainback Wolf suddenly rushed from behind Romon, Fafier quickly stepped forward to block it, and at this moment, a silver light suddenly shot towards Romon is running here. Behind it, several team members are chasing after it. From the beginning of the battle, everyone has divided the work, half of the team members are going to deal with Mountainback Wolf, and half of the team members are going to capture Silver Fox.
Because we had to capture it alive, even if we sent half of the team members, we still couldn't catch it for such a long time, and even more so that it saw the opportunity and rushed out of the encirclement.
"Don't let it run away!" Captain Haiwavi had just killed a Mountainback Wolf and shouted immediately after discovering the situation.
Romon almost reflexively stabbed it with the sword, while the people following him shouted, "Don't hurt it!"
When he was startled, Silver Fox had already run past him. He saw that there was a large bush behind him. Once he entered there, with Silver Fox's speed, it became almost impossible to catch Silver Fox. The team members all stood there with disappointed faces. It seemed that if they wanted to catch it, they would have to set up another trap.
However, Romon, after being stunned, pursued him again.
"Captain..." A team member wanted to call Romon, but was stopped by captain Haiwavi. He shook his head. Everyone was waiting. After half an hour, Romon came back.
"Captain, I'm back!" Romon, holding a still twisting Silver Fox, walked out of the bushes with a smile. After his explanation, we found out that Druid has two abilities, the first is Beast-Scent Tracking, and the second is Natural Scent Blending.
As soon as Romon entered the bush, it released a Divine Spell that tracked and eliminated the aura. Because this Silver Fox was in its juvenile stage, the difficulty of catching it was only in In terms of cunning and speed, Silver Fox, who was already injured, slowed down after realizing that there was no danger, and was caught by him without noticing Romon's aura.
Suddenly, everyone was overjoyed and praised repeatedly, but Romon was a little annoyed. He found that after this incident, his Nature's Aura had undergone subtle changes, and he seemed to be alienated from nature. This alienation was very weak, but Romon, who had paid special attention because of the last calf incident, still noticed it.
It turns out that this thing really can't be done. It doesn't matter now. If there are a few more things, I'm afraid it will all rely on the natural power provided by Shennong Horn Space. Romon can't help but feel a little wary.
