My system comes with a chat group?

The Hero actually defeated the Demon King without even using the Hero's Sword? Then what was the need for the Hero's Sword? Rumors like these would probably spread quickly. As long as someone is willing to do this, it will definitely happen.

So the village chief apologized readily.

"Besides, who says the sword must be pulled out?" Yakumo snorted disdainfully, and blew up the land around the Sword of the Brave, and then cut open the land connected to the bottom of the rock platform.

"It doesn't matter if I can't pull out the Brave Sword. At worst, I can just leave it together with the bottom and use it as a hammer!" Yakumo said this, and waved the Brave Sword that was still stuck in the stone platform.

Seeing what Yakumo did, everyone's brain froze for a second.

"No, that's not right! How can you treat the Brave Sword like this!" The village chief panicked. If Yakumo really took the Brave Sword away like this, then it would be the end of the game! This would be more troublesome than all the rumors!

"Look, I successfully pulled the Sword of the Brave out of the ground. Why can't I use it?" Yakumo said with a satisfied look on his face, waving the "hammer".

"As expected of Yakumo, you always do things that are beyond our expectations..." Xin Meir had a helpless smile on his face. He had never thought of this approach.

Perhaps only someone like Yakumo, who doesn't care about reputation, would choose to do this.

It's not surprising that the stone platform with the sword of the brave was quite solid. Yakumo hit the stone outside a few times. As a result, the stone outside was broken, but the stone platform was still intact.

"If nothing else, it can be used as a blunt weapon. This blow of the hammer will surely change the opponent's personality, right?" Yakumo seemed reluctant to let it go: "In some games, the priest's weapon is a hammer!"

"It seems that I am the one destined by destiny! Hahahaha!" Yakumo continued to swing the hammer happily, with no intention of returning it at all.

"Well, from today on, it will no longer be called the Sword of the Brave, but the Hammer of the Brave!" Yakumo laughed, and couldn't let go of this weapon. Moreover, this weapon could actually be put into the equipment column, and it was an equippable weapon.

However, the name is not the Brave Hammer, but "The Brave Sword Inserted into the Stone Platform". In other words, the system has indeed determined that this sword is the Brave Sword.

"Well, we've played enough of a trick on you, Yakumo, you should return the Sword of the Brave to the village chief." Xin Meier came out to smooth things over. Yakumo played the villain, so naturally Xin Meier had to play the hero.

Yakumo was just very dissatisfied with the village chief's statement, and he had no intention of really destroying the village. Besides, the village chief had paid them the full compensation.

Finally, Yakumo threw the Sword of the Brave back to its original place, and Frillian used magic to control the land to restore that position, making the surroundings look as if nothing had happened.

The village chief of the Sword Village also realized his mistake and said that he would never use such disrespectful words again.

"I didn't expect Yakumo to care so much about this." Xin Meier was also surprised: "Maybe I'm used to being teased by Haita as a fake hero when I was a child, so I don't care much."

"Of course." Yakumo made a face at the village chief who was standing at the entrance of the village to see them off. "Isn't it too much for such a person to erase the efforts and achievements of so many people with just one word of fake?"

"This kind of behavior always reminds me of people who are overly superstitious and use superstition to belittle others." Yakumo curled his lips.

Chapter 10: The Smell of Entrustment (31/)

After coming out of the Land of Swords, perhaps because they were blessed, Xinmei's team did not encounter a snowstorm again along the way. The weather was always good and the sun was relatively warm.

Even though I slept in the wild these days, I didn't feel any discomfort, except that it was still very cold at night. But the tent can block some of the cold wind, and the sleeping bag can also keep me warm.

“The maps we bought

There is no further information for the time being. We can only find a village nearby and ask if there is a map for the rest of the journey. ” Xin Meier put away the map in his hand, and the information stopped there.

"I can still see some nearby villages... It's OK, not too far away." Yakumo's map has the fog of war, which needs to be unlocked a little bit. But fortunately, there is no need to touch the statue or anything like that.

In most cases, once you reach a certain area, the map will unlock it directly, which is very convenient. At the edge of the fog of war, Yakumo saw the terrain mark of the village.

"I feel like I've been on the road all this winter. I really hope to find a hotel and have a good rest..." Fulilian yawned, "I always sleep outside, and my waist hurts all the time."

"Me too, I really want to go to the tavern and have a good drink..." Haita has not had much motivation these days. Generally speaking, during the few days of rest in the city or village, Yakumo would give him a day off so that he could have a good drink.

Of course, the premise is that you can't drink so much that you use up everyone's travel expenses.

But Haita didn't have many other opportunities to drink, and he had saved a lot of his own money. But there were no decent taverns in the Sword Country, and since the expedition against Aura, he had basically no chance to drink.

After we had a goal, we were more motivated to continue our journey. After arriving at the village, we found that the village was quite large, and it was the end of winter, so the whole village was very busy.

"It seems that I can get a good commission here." Xin Meier said while looking at the busy village. In the early spring, there is always a need for reclamation and a busy season. There are always some things that need help.

This has nothing to do with travel expenses, Xin Meir just wants to help others more out of his heart.

"Of course, our defeat of the Demon King is a great feat, a heroic tale that is worthy of being recorded in history. But for these ordinary people, defeating the Demon King is still too far away from them. Only what happens around them is the most important."

When everyone asked Xin Meier why he was always keen to accept various commissions, Xin Meier explained it this way.

"If we really defeat the Demon King, in the future, this matter may only become a topic of conversation after dinner. But those who have experienced the harm of the demons will seriously remember that someone helped them at such a moment."

"This is help from others that they can personally experience. Compared to something as illusory as defeating the Demon King, this kind of help is more important, isn't it?"

"Xinmeier, if there is anyone in this world who can definitely defeat the Demon King, it can only be you." Yakumo often sighed. Xinmeier is simply the standard template of a hero, just like a destined hero.

"It's the season for planting and reclaiming land recently, but... why do people seem so sad?" Yakumo put his luggage in the hotel and went downstairs. The hotel has a restaurant, so you can eat here.

After cooking all the way, Yakumo can finally take a break.

"Boss, after we entered the village, why did it feel like everyone was so sad? Winter is over, and we should be preparing for reclamation and sowing, right?" Yakumo started a conversation with the inn owner.

"Who says it's not true?" The innkeeper took a puff of his cigarette. "But after winter, many wild animals ran out of the mountains and destroyed a lot of fields. Now we can't deal with them properly."

"Wild animals?" Yakumo asked curiously, "Are wild animals running out and digging for food in the fields?"

"Who knows? These beasts occupied the farmland and often fought with each other, making the farmland a mess. Although the villagers organized several expeditions, they were not successful and several people were injured."

"They seem to be reluctant to return to the forest." The boss shrugged. "It's all because of this that I have to buy a lot of ingredients from other places now, and the cost has increased a lot."

"That's true... You didn't issue any commissions to adventurers?" Yakumo expressed his sympathy first.

"Yes, but as you know, Aura the Guillotine was lingering near the northern countries before, and many adventurers were killed. The remaining adventurers are further north, so it is difficult to encounter such a team."

"But I heard that Guillotine Aura has been defeated a while ago. I think other adventurer teams will come here soon. Maybe the village chief will issue another commission by then."

"So what should we do this year?"

"No choice, try somewhere else." The boss seemed indifferent. This situation did not affect him much, it was just that the prices of the items in his store would increase.

"Anyway, thank you boss for your information." Yakumo ordered some food and thanked the boss for the information.

"Is there such a thing? No wonder we saw many farmers sitting at the door looking dejected when we came in." Xin Meier asked curiously while eating, "How big is the beast?"

"I'm not sure, but if it can cause a disaster, it should not be a small amount. However, I am more concerned about another point."

"It's the forest, isn't it?" Hatta spread some jam on his bread. "There must be something in the forest, so the beasts are afraid to go back there."

"So, if we solve the problem in the forest, the village will be fine?" Aize had already finished a piece of bread.

.

"Not really, Aize." Fulilian shook her head: "Even if we solve the problem in the forest, the beasts won't realize it. What's more, it's more comfortable outside. With a better environment, the beasts won't leave."

"Yes, so the first step is to solve the problem in the forest. The second step is to drive away the wild beasts." Yakumo nodded: "I am also very curious about what happened in the forest. Let's collect more information tomorrow."

"That's good, in case Haita gets drunk tonight and we can't go to the forest together tomorrow." Xinmei nodded in agreement.

"Haha, that's really too much." Haita said as he picked up the vegetables from his bowl and put them into Fulilian's bowl.

"Haita, you're being picky about food again!" Yakumo yelled.

Chapter 87 Chimera

Although he said he was gathering intelligence, Haita ended up getting drunk. This was also the time and opportunity that Yakumo gave Haita to get drunk for one night, but it was nothing. After all, Haita had saved a lot of money from his own pocket, and he didn't use the travel expenses.

On the third day, Haita finally regained consciousness and everyone gathered the information they had received: "Everyone seemed to have heard it from hearsay and did not really understand the details."

"But there is one thing that is quite consistent, that is, the guys in the forest seem to be quite large." Yakumo listed all the information: "There are also hunters who have tried to enter the forest, and everyone said that they saw a huge figure in the distance."

"A huge figure? Is it as big as a dragon?" Aize was very curious. As a dwarf, he had a natural disadvantage in height, so his judgment of hugeness was different from that of ordinary people.

"You can actually go and see for yourself, right? Haita, you haven't recovered from your hangover yet?" Xin Meier looked at Haita, who seemed to be about to ascend to heaven, feeling somewhat helpless. It's been a day, it shouldn't be that serious, right?

"Ignore him, he's just savoring the feeling of being drunk." Yakumo replied unhappily, "He's been holding it in for so long, and now he's letting himself go. He's probably still intoxicated by the feeling."

"Hey~Haita, now is not the time to dwell on the past." Xinmeier shook Haita's shoulder: "We are ready to leave, otherwise we will leave you here."

"Don't do that. If you really leave Haita here, Haita might be very happy." Yakumo complained. After everyone packed up and finished breakfast, they went out together.

The forest is quite large, and you need to bring enough supplies if you go deep into it. After entering the forest, I didn't find any clues immediately. The outer edge of the forest seemed peaceful, and in some places you could even see animals that had finished their hibernation.

"There's a strange sense of silence..." Yakumo listened carefully: "Although it can't be called silence, it's much quieter than a normal forest. And there doesn't seem to be any sound of birds singing?"

It would be really unusual if there were no birds in such a large forest. Could it be that some raptor monster or even a dragon appeared here?

"I always feel that every time we accept a commission, it inexplicably turns into a crusade like this." Haita also recovered from his fake drunken state: "Xin Meier, what do you think?"

"Haha, isn't that good?" Xin Meir replied with a smile.

"We're still just on the periphery. There are really no other living creatures except for the small animals that have finished hibernation." Xin Meir couldn't help but wonder what was inside.

"Are there many dragons in this world?" Some settings cannot be found, so it may be faster to ask the locals.

"Dragons are creatures at the top of the biological spectrum, but there aren't many of them." Fulilian explained, "Most people may never see a dragon in their lifetime. Besides, if it was a giant dragon, the surrounding villages wouldn't have been safe until now."

"It's strange, but dragons really like to attack villages. Is this their instinct to occupy territory?" Yakumo continued to ask: "Are all dragons like this? It sounds like they are particularly warlike."

"Not really. There is another kind of dragon called the Sky Dragon, which has a gentle personality and doesn't like to fight. However, this kind of dragon usually lives thousands of meters above the ground and almost never lands on the ground in its entire life."

"It sounds like a swift..." But swifts do not never land. They will still land when necessary.

"There's nothing unusual at the outermost area. Let's continue exploring inside." In order not to miss anything, Xin Meir's team searched carefully from the outermost area. Everything was normal at the outermost area.

As we went deeper, the sounds gradually disappeared and the forest began to become quiet.

"It seems that all the wild animals in the forest have really been driven out." Xin Meier sighed: "In this case, let's go to the center as soon as possible. I hope nothing serious will happen."

It was so quiet that there was no more information except for the previous traces. But as we went deeper, we could see many broken and fallen trees.

"It was broken by a collision." Xin Meier checked the marks on the broken part of the tree: "It was probably broken by the beast being driven away. The tree fell outwards, so it could only have happened when someone came out from inside, right?"

"But there are trees here that face a different direction from the fracture." Aize stood next to another broken tree: "If nothing unexpected happens, we are very close to our destination."

Then, Aize was bitten by a big mouth, and then thrown out.

"Aize!" Seeing his companion

Being thrown out, Xin Meir screamed in panic.

"Don't be distracted, Xinmeier, the attack is coming!" Yakumo jumped up and flew up. The other people in the team also retreated. Yakumo flew above the woods and finally saw the whole picture of the beast occupying the forest.

It was a huge chimera, clearly a man-made creature. The one biting Aize should be the snake's head. However, I have never seen a chimera this big before.

This chimera was almost taller than the towering trees in the forest. No wonder I didn't see it when I was standing outside the forest. I could only see it clearly when I flew up.

At the same time, Yakumo saw Aize who was thrown out on the other side and was now hanging on the tree.

He quickly flew over to rescue Aize, and Yakumo led the team members to retreat: "This Chimera seems to only occupy that small area. If you leave that area, you won't be attacked."

"Why? Does it think of this place as its territory?" Xin Meir retreated a distance as he was told, and sure enough, the Chimera stopped attacking.

It was as if there was an invisible boundary line. If you entered it, you would be attacked. If you left that area, you would be safe.

But who would dare to live next door to such a giant chimera? If the chimera goes crazy someday, everything around it will be in tatters.

"Aura, go and test the strength of this Chimera and see if you can defeat it." Yakumo ordered.

"Who? Me?" Aura pointed at himself, the shock on his face just like when Yakumo was controlling him.

"Otherwise, do you want me to replace you? Go ahead." Yakumo ordered again. Aura's body uncontrollably rushed into the "territory circle" that had just been calculated.

With a flurry of activity, Aura fled from Chimera's territory in a panic. Well, by the way, I would like to thank Mr. Tom for his passionate dubbing.

"It's been so short and you're already exhausted, Aura. I gave you the chance but you didn't make any use of it." There was obvious disgust on Yakumo's face.

"A monster with such strong physical fitness must be the nemesis of magicians!" Aura shouted.

"Insufficient information. Anyway, you should go in and try again." Yakumo threw Aura in again.

Chapter 88: Abnormal Chimera

After four or five attempts, Aura was even bitten to death by Chimera once. Then Yakumo resurrected Aura with the Water of Life and threw him into the Chimera's territory again.

"Combining the intelligence, this Chimera doesn't have many abilities, and most of them are based on physical attacks." The intelligence had been gathered almost completely, and Yakumo ignored Aura, who was kneeling on the ground next to him, looking as tired as a dog.

The traditional Chimera is a hybrid beast made up of a lion, a goat, and a snake, and is a legendary monster. But later, Chimera became a synonym for hybrid beasts. The one in front of us is not a traditional Chimera.

Although it has a snake as its tail, it also has lions, bears, and deer as its body. With its huge size, it must be very powerful. When Aura faced this chimera, he was thrown around like a toy.

"I feel something strange from this chimera. There are magical beasts, ordinary wild beasts, and animals. Who made such a strange thing?" Fulilian couldn't understand the creature in front of her.

"Haha, the only one who can make this is Fusion." Aura sat slumped beside him, looking like she was played with. Seeing Yakumo's gaze and the movement of wanting to throw her in again, she shuddered.

Then, Aura quickly spilled the beans from a bamboo tube, revealing all the information she knew. If she was just killed as a meat shield, it would be fine, but the key is that she couldn't die even if she wanted to! If she died, she would be resurrected and continue to die to gather information.

"Fulish, that girl's magic is the magic of fusing objects together." Aura spoke quickly: "She is particularly keen on fusing different things together and then checking the effect of the fusion."

"But that guy would throw the fused things aside after observing them or when he was no longer interested. This Chimera should be her masterpiece. Fu Lishi's traces are too obvious."
