Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji was a little absent-minded, while Wiltz's shepherd was talking about the necessity of eradicating the swamp slime.

Zhao Ji may not have understood what Wiltz wanted to express before, but after the chat, no matter how stupid Zhao Ji was, he understood what Wiltz meant.

Zhao Ji thought that he hunted slime monsters for the benefits and fame brought by slime monsters. And what is the purpose of Wiltz's shepherd, according to the analysis of the old president Foxtail, it may be to take part in the hunting opportunity to share part of the reputation of eliminating slime monsters.

Originally, this was a loss to Zhao Ji's expected reputation, but considering that Wiltz Shepherd is a member of the upper-class people in Kendall City after all, sharing the reputation will make Zhao Ji's reputation more popular among the entire upper class. According to many rumors, Zhao Ji himself did not reject Wiltz's shepherd's joining.

Hey, people only act for their own interests. No matter what happens, there are more or less various interests involved.

A group of four chatted casually and came to the south of the swamp. Proceeding along the wet edge of the swamp, far away, you can see the camp that Zhao Ji had established here before.

I am a little embarrassed, after all, this simple camp is not very reliable. There are still holes made by the wolf and Zhao Ji on the tree branch wall outside the camp.

Before coming to the camp, the shepherd Weltz carefully observed the surroundings of the camp and the whole camp. But Tutuge ran into the camp excitedly to have a look. Zhao Ji yelled to be careful of snakes, and he didn't care much. He parked the wheelbarrow outside the camp. It won't be enough, after all, when he built this simple camp before, he didn't think about resting for four people, so the current place may not be enough.

After observing the camp and its vicinity for a while, Wiltz Shepherd and Irina still entered the camp, and Zhao Ji also entered the camp. Several people put down their things, and Wiltz and his two little assistants rubbed their shoulders, tapped their sore calves, and complained to each other about the hard work of the trip.

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect these people to be so useless. They would be exhausted after walking a few steps. It seems that they are really pampered uncles. But participating in the hunt was their own choice, it had nothing to do with Zhao Ji, it was their own business.

Zhao Ji untied the new simple dog skin sleeping bag on the back of the backpack and spread it near the entrance of the camp. Seeing this, the other three people also spread their quilts on the place they picked. Considering that Irina and Tutugo were still young, Shepherd Wiltz gave them the space inside the camp. Like Keir, he spread his bedding on the other side of the camp gate.

Zhao Ji poked the original campfire with a branch, and it was a little damp, so it really couldn't be used. They had no choice but to hold the burning ashes in their hands and sprinkle them outside the camp.

Seeing Zhao Ji busy there, Wiltz asked Zhao Ji what the three of them could do.

After thinking about it, I figured that the three of them might not have any experience of living in the wild, so let's prepare some simple jobs for them.

"Okay, then I will trouble the shepherd Weltz and the two assistants to get some burning materials for the campfire near the camp. In the wild, the campfire will burn all night at night, so please prepare more. I will first Clean up the campfire, and then find a way to repair the walls of the camp." Zhao Ji said to Wiltz.

Wilts shepherd nodded, and then led Tutugo to look for burning objects near the camp. Irina sat down on her own quilt to rest because she was a little tired.

Zhao Ji ignored her and threw all the ashes from the campfire outside the camp. This is a method he heard from the guys in the chamber of commerce. The burned ashes can be used to repel insects, and many small crawling on the ground Insects are very afraid of the smell of ashes, as long as the ashes are scattered around the camp, most of the insects can be prevented.

To set up a camp on the edge of the swamp, the most important thing is to prevent the infestation of mosquitoes. This Zhao Ji already has some experience. At the beginning, Zhao Ji set up the first simple camp in the northwest of the swamp, and there was no way to disperse mosquitoes. He was woken up all night by mosquitos, or bugs crawling on his body and hair. He didn't want it, so he had to get as close to the campfire as possible, and let the flame drive away the small bugs.

Later, Zhao Ji smeared the juice of mosquito repelling plants in the swamp on his body to prevent mosquito bites.

When Zhao Ji established this camp, he already had his own way of preventing swamp mosquitoes. The trick just now is a camp building trick he just learned, and now he is going to find some insect repellent plants to build a larger safe space for the camp.

Zhao Ji asked Irina to stay in the camp and not go there, waiting for the Mushou to come back later. Seeing Irina nodded, Zhao Ji set off.

In fact, insect repellent plants are easy to find. At the beginning, Zhao Ji had to observe one by one to see which plants were particularly unpopular with mosquitoes. Now he can directly pick the insect repellent plants he sees.

Walking a certain distance towards the swamp, Zhao Ji pulled out many plant stems, leaves and flowers. Among them is a kind of weed that is very common everywhere. As long as this weed is burned, it can emit a strong smell. This smell is nothing to people, but mosquitoes don't like it very much. Zhao Ji learned this in the chamber of commerce. When he first met Jamura, the staff of the chamber of commerce used this plant occasionally.

There is also a wild flower that also has a strong insect repellent effect. As long as the flowers of this kind of wild flower are squeezed, a little of its juice will have a very strong smell, and as long as a little bit is applied to clothes, it can prevent bugs from crawling on people's bodies when they sleep. Of course, the juice of this thing is very irritating, once it gets on the skin, it will cause a rash on the skin, which is extremely itchy. Use with care.

The leaves of another plant are very useful. Just hang it on the fence of the campsite and it can be used to repel insects. It can also be mashed and applied to the skin to repel mosquitoes. There is no harm to the human body. Zhao Ji often uses it, but the dry juice sticks to the body and it is uncomfortable.

After hugging a lot, Zhao Ji reckoned that there should be enough, so he returned to the camp.

In the camp, Wiltz Shepherd and Tutugo have returned, and they are sorting out the burning things they found with Irina and the other three. Zhao Ji went over to have a look, good guy, there are some fresh weeds and two uprooted shrubs. The root of this thing still has soil, can it be burned?

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows, thinking it would be better for him to go there himself.

Judging from Keir's face, he knew that the "burning object" the two of them got was not very successful, and Wiltz felt that there was nothing he could do. After all, he has always used special burning wood sold by a certain chamber of commerce in Kendall City. Not only the church, but basically everyone in the city is doing this. After all, it is cheap, easy to use and large in quantity, so no one thinks there is any problem.

It was only when I was looking for burning materials with Tutuge just now that I realized that there are no merchants selling good wood for burning in this wilderness. They had to carefully pull out a lot of weeds, and each of them pulled out a bush.

Zhao Ji patted Wiltz on the shoulder of herdsman, pointed to the ax hanging on his backpack and said, "Let's go and cut down a tree, so that we can easily get wood for burning. These things are insect-repelling plants I found just now, please ask Irina to pick and separate them first, remember not to damage the flowers, or they will sting your hands. By the way, please ask Tutuge to take you The weeds I just found are piled aside, and the two bushes are not thrown away, just in time for me to repair the damaged wall of the camp."

Wiltz nodded, and explained what Zhao Jigang said to the two little assistants. He told them not to go out, but to stay in the camp, and to call for help if they were in danger. The two of them went out of camp to log.

Without going far, Zhao Ji chose a dwarf tree in the swamp near the camp. Although this kind of dwarf tree is not tall, it is still a bit thick compared to other trees.

"Can you cut down trees? Wiltz shepherd." Zhao Ji said to Wiltz holding an ax.

Shaking his head~www.readwn.com~ and expressing that he does not know how to cut down trees, as if to justify himself, Wiltz said to Zhao Ji: "In fact, most people in Kendall City don't know how to cut down trees. I don’t know what it’s like to cut down trees, I’ve only heard about it. After all, we buy the wood for burning directly from the store.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhao Ji felt that the people in Kendall City were quite advanced in life. He had heard from fellows from the chamber of commerce who had traveled far that life in cities in other counties was not as easy as in Kendall City.

Zhao Ji pulled out the long sword from his waist and handed it to Wiltz, who asked him to cut off the excess branches of the dwarf tree with the long sword, and he himself used the ax to cut off the trunk of the dwarf tree.

Zhao Ji's long sword is very tough, so it's no problem to cut down the thin branches of dwarf trees. Wiltz took the sword and started directly. Zhao Ji's body shape Wilts said, try to unify the length of the branches when they are cut, so that they can be transported and used later.

Zhao Ji found a suitable position to cut down the dwarf tree by himself, and hacked at the root of the dwarf tree with an axe. After all, this dwarf tree is really short and cannot be cut down like other trees. Because the chopping position was a bit low, Zhao Ji's posture was not good, and it was difficult to use his strength at the same time, so he could only chop the tree bit by bit.

On the other side, the shepherd Weltz chopped off the branches of the dwarf tree with Zhao Ji's long sword. A sword passed, and the branch fell down without any effort. The two are on each side, and Wiltz doesn't have to be afraid of hurting Kiel who is chopping trees when he swings his sword. After all, he has never used a sword before, and the self-defense skills he learned in the church are all using long sticks Easy way. The simple method is actually enough. After all, the senior clergy of various religious churches mainly use the various magical sacred abilities bestowed by the gods.

And staves are a great match for divine abilities.
