Chapter 20 Team Encounter
Weighing the pros and cons, Tang Zhao decided to help.

It goes without saying that human life is at stake, and there is no harm in communicating with the Orion first to understand the situation.

Anyway, those wild wolves were no longer a big threat to Tang Zhao, and they could be solved with a little effort. The wolf skins could be exchanged for money, and the money could be exchanged for carriages.

After deciding to let the goblins who are not suitable for fighting fly to hide in the tree canopy, Tang Zhao led a limited number of goblins to the place where the smell of blood radiates.
-
Soon after, Tang Zhao and his party were near the location.

The sharp long sword was brandished in the hands of the heavily armored warrior. The blade of the sword touched a half-human-tall wild wolf, and the opponent was instantly split in two like butter.

Dodging the bite of the other two wild wolves lightly, the soldier swung his long sword horizontally and exerted a little force on his wrist. The wild wolf who failed to attack was directly slapped four or five meters away by him, and fell to the ground wailing.

In such a situation, the remaining wild wolves were successfully deterred. They scattered and circled around the armored warrior, looking for openings and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The soldier looked relaxed. He turned his head and complained dissatisfiedly to the few people watching the show behind him.

"Teamwork, friends! Even if it's just a few beasts, don't just look at it, especially Tina. Seeing that you are about to fall asleep like that, can you respect your opponent.

If I am killed by these beasts, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life. "

"Think too much, I won't."

"All the good wine he kept in the Chimera Tavern belongs to me, and you can share the rest."

Several people showed gloating smiles one after another, not forgetting to hurt the soldier.

They were only a few meters away from the armored warriors, but the wolves didn't take any precautions against them, as if they didn't see them at all.

"Oh, come on, my friends, Guinivea, do me a favor. I often lose control of my strength and am prone to accidents."

The person who was called was wearing light leather armor, had long, smooth golden hair, and looked as beautiful as someone who had walked out of a classical oil painting.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing was the pair of pointed ears, which clearly showed that this person had elven blood.

She smiled and shook her head, motioning for the armored warrior to deal with it by herself.

Seeing this, the armored soldier sighed, let go of his hand, and threw away the long sword directly.

Seeing this, the pack of wolves attacked the armored warriors from multiple directions at the same time.

Ignoring their gnawing fangs, the armored soldiers clenched their fists and smashed directly on the head of one of the wild wolves, knocking it into a coma without knowing whether it was alive or dead.

After that, he turned his fists into claws, grabbed a wild wolf by the neck with both hands, and controlled them in midair.

"Archmage, come here and cast some magic, I can't keep carrying these guys, can I?"

The person named Tina was wearing a cloak, and her face was hard to see. She nodded lightly, and then two beams of light flew out from her hands, spread out and entered the body of the wild wolf, and they fell asleep immediately.

The armored soldier let out a long breath, and then he looked at the few people behind him with deep resentment, but they seemed to be at ease.

"You wear heavy armor made by top dwarf craftsmen. Although there are no runes, it is not something that can be destroyed by a wild beast. Even if those lycanthropes surround you with knives and cut off their knives, you It won't be hurt much, and I have some confidence in the skills of the Mountain Kingdom."

"Tempas, don't treat your lively and cheerful friends as straw dummies for training, that will cast a psychological shadow on me."

Everyone was obviously not angry, they were just bickering constantly.

"Okay, everyone," said the caster Tina, her voice was crisp and gentle, "We have received an entrustment, and the goal is to deal with the lycanthropes in this forest. A villain with a dozen lives, it doesn't hurt to be careful, I don't want to attend your funeral now."

"Tina, when can you stop talking about life and death?"

The armored soldier complained casually, but he did restrain himself a lot, and stopped bickering and whining with others.

Guinivea took a few steps forward, came to the side of the two wild wolves, and conducted various inspections on them, while the rest of the people watched quietly.

Just then, her ears moved slightly, and she raised her head, staring at the bushes in front of her.

"Come out, Francois found you just now when he was beating the wolf, and he stayed where you are, so there must be something for us."

As soon as this remark was made, after a few seconds of silence, an oversized lizard head emerged from the bushes.

[It's a little tricky, but it's not a big problem. Fortunately, I brought the goblin with me. 】

Looking at the few people in front of him, Tang Zhao couldn't help feeling grateful for his decision - a ferocious beast and a ferocious beast listening to goblins are two different concepts.

The former is called a wild beast, and the latter is strictly speaking a kind of guardian beast.

Before his eyes were five heavily armed humanoids, four of whom were human, and one who appeared to be an elf.

Three men, all wearing heavy plate armor covering the whole body, a human woman who is a spellcaster, and the elf who looks like a scout.

It's a bit like a team of adventurers with strong fantasy elements, but Tang Zhao doesn't think so.

Because the armor they wear is very gorgeous. He doesn’t understand the dwarf craftsman, but he can tell at a glance that it is indeed expensive. Cynthia said that most adventurers who make a living by entrusting are not rich, and it is difficult to afford such an armor. Expensive gear.

At first glance, it looks like a tailor-made style, engraved with the coat of arms of the owner's family, which also shows that the user's background is not simple, and the small nobles at most have the family crest printed on the shield.

Combined with what they said just now, Tang Zhao judged that these people were a group of young masters and young ladies who came to experience life.

It's not a bad thing, a young man who has no deep experience in the world and has a sense of justice is better than an old fritter adventurer who has been struggling in society for half his life.

The key point is that the other party must not be short of money, and Tang Zhao just needs money very much right now, thanks to human social activities.

Tang Zhao carried Cynthia and a few goblin fighters on his back. He slowed down his movements as much as possible while paying attention to Cynthia's actions.

Not knowing what these human beings are like, Tang Zhao will never reveal his high IQ easily, otherwise it may cause trouble.

So this time, Cynthia can only be used. With the elves present, they will not be too rude to the pickle.

"Hello, I'm Cynthia Graham Silvanus, the peak spirit in the Cangguan Forest. I'm glad to see that you have dealt with the wild wolves."

The language is not the wooden language used by fairies for dialogue, but the common language of human beings, and there is no communication barrier between the two parties.

Seeing this, several people looked at each other, and finally the elf named Guinivea stood up, walked up to Tang Zhao and Cynthia, and bent down slightly.

"I'm also glad to see that you elves are all right. The fire was very strong last night, and the fire can be clearly seen on the city wall of the king's city. I'm the half-elf Guinivea Alberta Mikaela, and the rest are mine. Adventurer companion."

The woman in front of her is a half-elf, not an elf. It is said that an elf can distinguish the human characteristics of a half-elf at a glance, and a human can also distinguish the elf characteristics of a half-elf at a glance.

This is very difficult for Tang Zhao. He thinks that a beautiful/handsome humanoid with pointed ears is an elf.

The pixies and the half-elves have a common language, and there is no hostility towards each other. When you talk to each other, things begin to become clear.

Cynthia kept an eye out and didn't say anything related to the migration of the same race. Apart from that, she said everything that should be said, and judging by Guinivea's appearance, she should have no reservations, and she also confessed everything.

There is not much difference from Tang Zhao's guess. The three armored soldiers are named François, Henry and Louis. They are indeed young men from military noble families in the royal capital, and their ranks are not low.

The caster named Tina seems to be the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital, plus Guinivea, a half-elf, I don't know how the five of them got together.

After all, it wasn't a political exchange meeting, Guinivea didn't say much about it, the focus was on their purpose of coming here.

In short, there have been many murders or disappearances here, causing panic. The sheriff finally determined that the murderer was a lycanthropist, so he issued a reward commission related to it.

A group of young people with excessive curiosity and energy took over this commission, which was not difficult for them, and planned to take this opportunity to go out of the city to have a look.

Of course, they were also a little curious about the fire last night, so they took this opportunity to investigate, as a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"That's the way it is. We plan to reverse track the location of the lycanthropy through wild wolves, and finally eliminate the harm for the people."

The plan is really not comprehensive, but considering their strength can crush the lycanthropy, it is acceptable.

Cynthia looked very nervous, and she glanced at Tang Zhao from time to time: "Well, for things related to lycanthropes, we should know the location of his lair, and we are willing to help you find them. But relatively, we have one thing that we really need You help."

Gui Nivea raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you are indeed in a difficult situation, otherwise you would not ask outsiders like us for help. If there is anything that can help, just tell me, at least I am willing to help you personally."

"Me too."

"the same"

The three people behind hurriedly nodded and talked, only Tina remained silent, as if she was thinking about something.
-
It is difficult for ordinary people to borrow a large enough carriage, but for these young masters, it is considered a trivial matter.

Peak was meticulous and kind, but at the same time he was a little shy. He didn't ask any more, and just borrowed the carriage, which made her cheer and joy.

It was agreed to take them to find the lycanthropist's lair, and Tang Zhao was responsible for this.

He should have seen it once before. The cave is very suitable for hiding. The entrance is covered by a lot of vegetation, and there are enough supplies and supplies for a long time. In a word, it is the most likely place. If you can't find them, you can't up.

I can pick out the opponent bit by bit with my own sense of smell, but this will be a waste of time. It is better not to procrastinate if this thing can be done quickly. Time is tight and I can’t afford it

PS It's a bit stuck, a few hundred words are missing, and I will get up tomorrow to make up.
