Talk about a pure love in the illustrated book world

Considering that as a new member, it is not good to be the slowest one in the first assembly, so he has already arrived 15 minutes earlier than the expected time. How long have these two people been waiting here?

"Connor and Paggy are both used to being undisciplined. They probably won't come until the last minute of the time limit."

Lucy Ni said with a headache, motioning Neil to sit down and wait slowly.

In the pigeons in the pigeons.

While sitting next to Grace, Neil thought of this emoji for no reason, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

There are quite a few adventurers around, like them, planning to go to the ruins today, so in the early morning mist, many people are forming a group in twos and threes and walking towards the outside of the village.

It is also for this reason that even in the morning when the sky is not completely bright, the town is very lively, and there are many adventurers or open-air vendors on the streets everywhere.

As the time limit approached, Neil also saw Connor and Paggy walking slowly from two directions while yawning.

"Do you two have to get stuck?"

Seeing the two people who were still a little lazy, Lucini, who was wearing a light armor, said viciously with her arms akimbo.

"It's okay, I'm not late anyway."

Connor waved his hand nonchalantly, causing Lucini to stare at him again.

"Okay, Lucini, anyway, the timing is just right."

Grace's words shut up Lucini, who wanted to continue to scold the two of them, but she still looked at the two people who were out of tune with dissatisfied eyes.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and picked up the old cloth bag beside him.

After seeing Grace walking forward first, the four of Neil also glanced at each other and followed his pace.

————————————————————————————————————————————

"Follow me closely, don't run around, follow my command."

As they came out of the road extending from the exit of the town and began to gradually sink into the deep forest, Grace, who remained taciturn, spoke again.

He took out a short knife with a very strange shape from the black robe, cut off the branches in front of him, and walked in the front of the team.

Is that thing a short knife or a claw...

Neil looked at Grace's top without any sharp blades, but instead hung down from both sides like a sickle, with short blades bent like sheep's horns, and thought for a while.

He said that he used to be a priest, but when did the religious order have such a weapon?Even the Fallen God wouldn't have such a weapon at all, right?

"Why, is this the first time you see this weapon?"

Seeing that Neil had been looking at the weapon in Grace's hand, Connor spoke from the side.

"Actually, it's similar to the detachable double knives you showed yesterday. The captain's weapon can also be detached into two short blades similar to a scimitar, but he doesn't use it very much."

At the welcome meeting yesterday, Neil showed off his weapon like everyone else, but at that time, Grace still didn't say a word, and didn't make any moves, so he didn't see that shape with his own eyes until now. A demonic weapon with a sheep's head.

"And he is obviously a priest, but he has basically never used magic. It's weird, isn't it?"

Connor shrugged, generally looking at the plants around them, in case any monsters suddenly came out to attack.

"However, it is also a rule for mercenaries not to ask about such things in the past. Unless the captain is willing to say it himself, otherwise we don't plan to ask more."

"Everyone, pay attention to concealment, there is a team of big ants ahead, be careful not to inhale their hormones."

Grace's words made the two of them quickly quiet down, and squatted down like the rest, covering their mouths and noses.

The hormones released by the big ants not only attract the same kind, but also attract human males to join them unknowingly, enter the nest together, and become the husband of a worker ant or Arachne ant.

So the five of them hid in the dense jungle, watching the ants in the distance pass through the forest in a row through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

It wasn't until the last ant girl sniffed the hormones of the other companions and wobbled away at the end of the team that they slowly got up again and started moving forward again.

"Don't relax, let me down after I say yes, and pull back if you find any signs of trance in the process of advancing."

A muffled sound came out of Grace's mouth, making them move forward with their mouths and noses covered.

It wasn't until they had been walking for more than ten minutes that Grace signaled that they could put their hands down.

He took out the map from his pocket, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head and said to them.

"There is a small lake not far away, where it will be repaired for a period of time, and then the lost water resources will be replenished."

"Neil, Connor, get ready when you go to the lake to fetch water. Lucy Ni and Paggy, cover the two of you, in case there is a sudden attack by monsters in the lake. I'm in charge of scouting the surrounding environment. Do you understand? ?”

"clear."

Following the neat answers from the four people, after Grace nodded, he continued to walk forward,

"Although it's mysterious, it's surprisingly reliable, right?"

Connor patted Neil on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Neil also nodded, and followed the team with him.

Volume 82 Exploration of Ruins: Chapter 81 Chapter [-] Slimes and Slugs

Perhaps because of the scarcity of nearby water sources, although their physical strength is still more than enough, Grace still decided to take a rest here first, so as not to act too hastily.

So after going on for a while, they also came to a clearing in the woods.

"Do what I just said, rest for 10 minutes and move on."

After Grace finished speaking, he sat down not far from the edge of the lake, turned on the kettle and filled it.

"Let's go, get the water."

Seeing the four people like Grace, they shrugged helplessly, and each followed Grace's instructions to work.

Paggy paid attention to the situation on Neil's side, and Lucy Ni stood beside Connor because of her preference for close combat.

"Huh... look at the weather, it looks like it's going to rain."

Neil looked at the dense dark clouds in the sky, and after filling the kettle a few mouthfuls, he soaked into the clear pool water, making a gurgling sound.

"Don't worry, with the character of the captain, if you choose to set off today, you must have found a safe place to stay tonight."

Neil couldn't help but shake his head helplessly at Lucini's words.

"How reliable is that guy..."

"After all, he has been to the ruins several times, and he knows the situation here quite well, so let's just listen to his instructions honestly."

Connor picked up the refilled water bottle and chatted with him.

Then he turned his head and said to Paggy not far away.

"Hey, Paggy, bring your water bottle and the captain's too."

Wow————————

Just when he turned his head, the water in front of him suddenly splashed a huge splash.

A blue jelly-like slime girl suddenly jumped out of the water, and rushed towards Connor who hadn't turned his head.

But the rest of the people who had been on guard immediately reacted.

Lucini, who was already quite close, grabbed Connor by the collar and pulled him back.

And Neil and Paggy also ejected two magical shots, one in front and one in the back, interrupting the slime's jumping action, knocking her back into the pool, and splashing a huge splash again.

Neil also took advantage of this time to quickly bring back the full water bottles placed by the lake, and left the place by the lake.

"Well......."

The slime who emerged from the water stared blankly at the few of them slowly moving to the distance. It seemed that it was because of the pain of the two magic bullets. After staying for a while, she returned to the place. to the lake.

"Tsk, this slime is really good at timing."

Connor got up from the ground, patted the dust all over his body due to being dragged by Lucini, and said helplessly.

"Fortunately, it's just a slow-moving slime, otherwise you would have been covered in slime."

Neil, who came back with the water bottle, also spoke, and handed the water bottle in front of Paggy.

"Page, please check to see if there is any liquid from that slime in the water."

If you accidentally drink slime's slime, it will make you feel hot all over your body, and then you will be in a trance, and there is a part of the magic power of the monster in it, so you must check it in advance.

They breathed a sigh of relief after Paggy, who was a magician, checked it carefully and nodded.

"It seems that it is only because of the smell of the essence by the lake that it slowly drifted along the water."

If all the water in it has been polluted by the magic power of monsters, there is no way to drink even a little bit.

After leaving the lake and moving towards the center of the open space again, the few of them sat down and rested for a while before starting their journey again.

With the experienced Grace leading the way, it can be said that the road ahead of the few people was quite smooth, avoiding many places that were originally very dangerous. The characteristics of monsters.

Although having such a reliable and stable captain did make Neil feel at ease a lot.

And compared to catching the blind all the way or going the wrong way and encountering traps, etc., which slowed down their progress, now they can be said to be moving steadily towards the ruins, even faster than Neil expected. .

But Neil's doubts about Grace still haven't diminished.

The weapon that looked like a demon with a sheep's head didn't look like a weapon that a normal church would use at all, and he said that he was a priest before was quite suspicious.

Originally, the goat-headed demon was also a symbol of the Baphomets, and he also considered whether the priest mentioned by the other party might belong to Sabas.

But with the character of the other party, no matter how you look at it, it is completely different from the group of immoral old aunts, and the pattern of the logo is completely different.

In any case, Neil still kept an extra eye in his heart.

And along with their progress, the sky has completely become gloomy, and the wind blowing from the surroundings has become stronger, making the surrounding trees make uncomfortable creaking sounds.

"Let's go here first today. Go to a cave and stay there overnight."

Grace, who had been guiding the team ahead, spoke.

Although it hasn't rained yet, whether it's going to the cave or gathering firewood to live, it will take a certain amount of time. Waiting until it really rains to find a habitat will cause considerable trouble.

Naturally, the few of them would not have any objections, and followed Grace's direction, tossing and turning in the forest where the air was already somewhat humid.

Faint thunder began to come from afar, implying that the torrential rain was about to hit the head and face.

Before the sky almost completely darkened, they followed Grace to the empty cave.

"Wait a minute, it's a slug."

Grace, who was walking in the front, frowned and let them listen.

Following his gaze, everyone also saw the slug girl moving limply at the entrance of the cave, her tentacles were trembling slightly, and there was a look of expectation on her face.

"Are you using this cave as a trap for hunting human males?"

Seeing her squirming on the ground, Lucini couldn't help frowning.

"It seems to be, Connor, you go and lure that slug away, and the others seize the time to start a fire at the entrance of the cave while Connor is away."

Slug girls cannot use salt to solve the problem. Although they will lose water due to salt and turn into children, it will neither endanger life nor feel pain. Seeking the essence of human males.

Therefore, salt can only make them violent, and only something bright and warm like fire can drive them away.

And because of their slow movement, most humans could easily leave them behind, so Connor also nodded and walked straight up.

As soon as the slug girl saw Connor, she wriggled her slimy body in surprise, and ran towards him bit by bit, and Connor also started to move, so the slug girl couldn't catch up. But the speed that can be seen again made a circle with her.

After the two of them left, the others also hurriedly searched for firewood, and a raging flame rose in the cave.

When they raised a flame in the cave, illuminating the almost dark cave, Connor, who was soaked by the rain that started to fall outside, also returned to the cave.
