The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

Far up the wasteland path is sloping, and there are slimes deep in the maple forest.

The place where Fenglin is located is a mountainous area, which contains many mountains, streams and cliffs. The road passing through here is twisted and twisted, making the caravan's speed unable to increase.

Near noon, the group came to an open space about the size of three basketball courts.

Aubrey, who was riding in the front, whistled to inform the team behind to rest here for two hours, everyone to eat something and check the carriage and horses. The next section of the road is better, and the team has to speed up.

This vacant land was specially organized by the McGarden family over the years for travelers to rest. There is one place every distance on the road, and there are corresponding maps for sale in the village for travelers to arrange rest points on the journey. In order to grab business from the other road to the east, the McGarden family has worked hard over the years.

Due to the lack of a caravan passing by recently, the open space is now covered with tall weeds.

(｀[]′)???﹏??﹏??﹏???(??へ??)

After several days of ice and fire by the two **** mages, all the insects that lived in the grass, whether they had wings or crawled on the ground, were killed.

Now, when everyone rests in the grass, they are not afraid of being sucked by insects or burrowing into the meat for a while. The coachmen can cut some grasses that have been roasted with fireballs by the masters under the control of the fire, and don’t have to worry about parasites. Add some roughage to the horses.

When they leave, the dead bugs and weeds will become a meal for the scavenger slimes. And nature will soon bring this vacant lot back to normal.

Charles had only seen his ex-maid use a special magic that only kills insects without harming plants to exterminate insects in the garden before, and this is the first time he has seen such a heroic method.

Soon, after eating a piece of dry food, Charles got a new task.

"Charles, go grab a slime in the nearby woods and come back." The one who ordered Charles was his current boss, chef Tony, "Don't go too far, and call when you are in danger."

"Okay." Charles patted off the dry ration in his hand, took out the dagger from his waist, and turned around to prepare to walk into the woods.

"I'll go with you." Halcala jumped up from the ground, causing the pair of milk froths on his chest to tremble.

"Then Charles, you can call now." Tonyo said to Charles.

"Huh?!" Charles was at a loss, what did he shout?

"Halkara, don't go and make trouble for Charles." Aubrey ordered as the boss, "Charles, go and get back."

"Oh." Charles walked away cautiously.

Charles disappeared after turning around the tree. Aubrey immediately gave a wink to a mage beside him. The mage understood and immediately raised a magical barrier to isolate the sound.

Then Aubrey stood up and announced loudly: "From now on, in units of two minutes, everyone will buy and leave!"

"I bet one dinar and he will escape in two minutes!"

"Four minutes, no success, two dinars!"

"Six minutes, four of which are the wrong way, two dinars!"

…

Without knowing it, Charles became a betting tool for a group of unscrupulous people.

?(?`^′?)?: "How can you do this!"

Harkala was angry, and the scene of the loud voices suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the angry Harkala.

(?ˊωˋ)つ金: "I trust Charles, I will send an Ole, and he will complete the task within half an hour!"

At this time, Charles was in a hard fight not far from the resting place.

(;▼ vessel▼)つ???????

Now Charles hit the slime's nest.

Slimes in the wild are nature's scavengers. Insects and small reptiles, animal eggs and cubs, animal and plant corpses, and animal feces are their food.

Moreover, they also pick up soft persimmons to pinch.

When a large animal is dying due to aging, injury, etc., the slime will block the opponent's nostrils and suffocate its prey to death. The slimes then secrete acid that melts the fur, muscles, and bones of the prey's carcass, which they then swallow and digest.

After eating and drinking, slimes naturally want to breed the next generation, so the corpses of large animals often become their breeding grounds.

After stabbing a few slimes to death, the bullying slimes kept their distance from him. Don't look at the slowness of the slime when it squirms normally, but when it jumps up with its own elasticity, it is faster than a rabbit.

Charles had not seen many large animals, and he could not tell what kind of animal it was from the carrion that was smaller than the car on the ground.

But there's a hole next to it, and if those stories are right, that hole is where it used to be.

Charles was thinking about how to separate a slime from the whole group and took it away, but accidentally fell into their siege.

If it wasn't for the sharp dagger in his hand, those slimes would have swarmed him and overthrew him, and then suffocated and devoured him.

Unlike domestic slimes, which are thin and juicy, wild slimes are so skinny that they can be stabbed with a knife as if they were stabbed into rubber.

Charles is not helpless. If he took out a bottle of "Stinky Beast" prepared in the bag and sprinkled it out, the slimes would be swept away by the stench in minutes. But doing so would be a loss.

"Ouch~woooooo~"

There was a roar of cubs from the beast den.

Charles' eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he took out a bottle of potion from the purse around his waist, twisted the lid, and smashed it near the den.

A stench spread through the forest. Slime's sense of smell depends on the skin, so the slime who was in the distance was directly stunned.

Two white lights sprang from the beast's den, and two young white wolves about the size of dogs galloped out of the cave, only to fall down within two steps.

Charles ignored the fleeing slimes. Naturally, he would not let go of the experience points on the ground, so he stabbed the fainted slimes to death one by one, and then those who had magic cores stabbed them to death. to dig it out. Although a slime's magic core is worthless, dozens of slime magic cores the size of a little finger can make a full day's meal, but it is also money.

In this world, those "fat house" slimes raised by the family have no magic core, and they have no experience points when killed. Only those "Showa" slimes in the wild will grow magic cores after they become stronger in a life-and-death life. Such slimes will have experience points when killed.

Except for slimes, other monsters are the same.

Although I don't know what the reason is, this does not prevent Charles from searching around on the principle that the meat on the mosquito's legs is also meat.

According to Charles' analysis, the dead animal should be the mother of the two little white wolves. Judging from the decomposing condition of the corpse, its death time was not long.

So according to the records in the book, he took the dagger to open the only remaining flesh of the wolf's head, and then found the bone on the wolf's skull that had been demonized, and the skull near the demon core showed signs of healing after being broken. .

From the size of the magic core, it can be seen that this she-wolf was very powerful before her death, and it is estimated that she was planted in the hands of the slime because of her severe head injury.

After digging out the magic core with the boss's strength, Charles put it in his pocket, picked up a basketball-sized slime, and left.

He couldn't carry the two fainted wolves, so he planned to go back and ask others if they wanted them. If they wanted, they would take them away.

Every year before maple syrup is harvested in spring, a group of adventurers will come here to eliminate the monsters that threaten the sugar-picking workers, so don't steal other people's business.

In the end, Charles didn't take two steps when he found that the two little wolves had already stood up and were swaying behind him. When he stopped, the two little wolves rubbed against his legs.

"Our caravan can't keep these two Timberwolves." Aubrey said to Charles while playing with the magic core dug out of the she-wolf's skull, "because the wolves will scare the horses when they grow up. If the horses adapt to wolves When they encounter other wolves that are going to eat them, they will become the wolf's meal because of their paralysis."

Maybe these two young wolves who were weaned not long ago recognized their mother's magic core, so now they are rubbing beside Aubrey.

Charles, who was counting the money, said "oh" and continued counting the money in his hand.

Just now, Charles spent a total of 29 minutes to complete the task, so Halkara, who killed the whole audience, gave him half of the money he won.

According to the rules of the caravan, such windfalls belong to the personal property of the members and can be handled by themselves without affecting the caravan.

He didn't reject Aubrey's decision, and he didn't want to. If he couldn't raise it, he would sell it. This is what he planned from the beginning. The money of the "stinky beast" has been paid back and made a lot of money by selling the magic core of the she-wolf.

As for the protagonists in the novels who picked up two young monsters when they were just starting out, he didn't have much interest in trying them out after they grew up.

Two well-informed people, Halkara, who is over 300 years old, and Aubrey, who has been on the rivers and lakes for decades, think that the two young wolves are just ordinary.

Aubrey threw the magic core back to Charles, and then said to him: "Go to Wayne and ask him to help you wrap the magic core in some jewelry case, which can sell for a good price. Of course, You have to pay for it yourself."

Wayne is the head craftsman in the caravan. Whether it's a carriage, leather armor or weapons, there's nothing he can't fix. Under Aubrey's guidance, Charles learned that Wayne was once an apprentice to a dwarf craftsman, and his craftsmanship was superb. If he was not in the caravan to repair the car, the profit would be greatly reduced because the car encountered a breakdown on the road. .

Wayne, who lost two dinars in the bet just now, did not have a bad impression on Charles because of this, but instead looked at him highly because of this. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"This wind attribute magic core is of high quality." Wayne carefully looked at the magic core in his hand, "I just have an empty necklace here, I can polish the magic core, engrave it on a magic circle, and then insert it into it. , whether it is for your own use or for sale, it is good.”

There was still more than an hour before the end of the break, and Wayne took the professional tools and began to polish the magic core the size of three mahjong tiles.

Because Charles used a lot of energy to pierce the bone at the fractured place of the wolf's skull to take out the magic core, so after grinding off the magic core and the bone, the essence of the whole magic core is only It's about the size of an adult's thumb.

When Wayne was polishing the magic core, Charles was called by Tony to help.

Tonyo asked Charles to catch a slime back not for the sake of gambling, but he found out that a rat had bitten a hole in the bottom of the grain truck last night, and a slime was needed to mend the hole.

When Charles brought the slime back, Tonio had already asked Wayne to help trim the opening into a trapezoidal opening with a small bottom and a large top, and at the same time, he used wood to repair a piece of wood that could perfectly cover the opening.

Tonio set up a fire in the open space with a copper cauldron hanging on it. He first cut the slime into small pieces and threw them into the pot, then used a wooden stick to squeeze the moisture out of the slime block, and finally put it on the fire while stirring while heating.

After a while, the slime blocks began to melt, and the contents of the pot began to become sticky. When all the water in the slime's body has evaporated during the heating and stirring, a pot of slime glue is ready.

After Tonio applied slime glue on the edge of the hole and the edge of the wood block, he stuck it up like this.

After the slime glue cooled, the wood block was firmly adhered to the bottom of the car, and it was also waterproof.
