Chapter 31 The Forest of Gradient Moon②

When the sun falls on Misty Island, you enter the Moon Forest, and you can see the golden sunlight leaking through the leaves at the top of the tree crown, which is extremely beautiful.The more you go in, the more lush the trees are, and the eyes are full of lush greenery that cannot be melted away. Gradually, you can only see some light spots in the occasional sparse leaves.

If someone is attracted by the beautiful scenery, then his footsteps can only stop here forever...

"Timer!" At the same time as Lucius shouted, Timir felt a chill coming from somewhere behind him, and the long sword in his hand followed his body's consciousness and inserted it backhand, and at the same time quickly returned to defense.

When Timir saw clearly the poisonous snake pierced by the sword, his back was involuntarily wet with sweat.The poisonous snake is no bigger than a baby's arm, but its skin has colorful patterns, and the sharp fangs in its wide-open mouth are dripping venom—this snake is quite poisonous.

Fortunately, Timir's unintentional sword stabbed seven inches into the snake, firmly nailing it to the tree trunk.

The flexible body of the poisonous snake twisted and struggled until it could not move at all.Although he was a little scared, Timir couldn't feel lucky seeing it in pain.After the snake was completely dead, Timir pulled out the long sword.

This place is more dangerous than the crocodile island where Timmir was born. There are many ferocious beasts in the forest.Even if there is no cyan monster, it is not suitable to come in and hunt alone.The poisonous snake was already uncountable. It was the first animal to die under his sword.

When he was on Intercana Island, Timir had picked up a sword, but in the tide of attacks by the guards, there was no skill to speak of.At the moment of life and death, Timir only relied on the youth's agile body reaction to resist in vain, and had no chance to display any swordsmanship at all.Now it can be regarded as Timir's first real practice.

"Don't be too far away from me, I'm worried about you." Lucius suddenly hugged Timur tightly.

Timir was stunned for a moment, and a smile could not help but appear on his lips: "Lucius, you are strangling me so hard to breathe..."

"Sorry!" Lucius let go of his hand quickly, and the degree of recklessness made Timmel a little disappointed.

"What time is it now? I'm a little hungry." Timir inserted the long sword back into the scabbard at his waist, and rubbed his stomach by the way.

Lucius looked up at the sky for a moment and then said: "It should be just after noon. This forest is really big. So far we have just passed through the periphery, but we haven't gone deep yet..."

"I think this forest is a bit weird." Timmel stood beside Lucius, but kept looking around: "It seems that the beasts we encountered were all coming towards me..."

"Maybe it's because I have the aura of monsters on my body, and they don't dare to trouble me." Lucius thinks this explanation is more reasonable: "There is an open space ahead, you find some dead branches, and I will cook snake meat for you!"

Timir happily rummaged through the branches with his long sword, while Lucius showed a slightly uneasy expression on the spot.

The cloth bag provided by Apakong is full of Grape Moon Grass from the Grape Moon Forest. The fragrance is very light, but it smells very pleasant.Grape Moon Grass has very precious medicinal value. In addition, its scent has a very good calming effect on monsters. If it is too strong, it can also make monsters feel weak and drowsy.

Even though inhaling too much of the scent of Grape Moon is not good for Warcraft and is easily addictive, they still love this scent very much.If someone wants to control monsters, it's a good decision to multiply Acumen Grass in large quantities.It's a pity that the yield of Lemongrass is not much, and the growing environment is very harsh. Its appearance is very similar to ordinary weeds, and only a pharmacist who is proficient in herbs can distinguish it.If this is not the case, I am afraid that there is no need for the Watchman Temple, and any ordinary person can subdue Warcraft.

Although Lucius has transformed into a human form, the influence of the Grass Moon Grass on him is still very obvious.Just like nature, although he could restrain his desire for this fragrance, he couldn't deny that it was irresistible to him.

Why can you avoid the cyan monster with this cloth bag?Isn't this a bit strange?Lucius held the cloth bag thoughtfully, this task seemed to be more troublesome than expected.

"Who?" Timur, who was going to look for dead branches, suddenly yelled, Lucius put away the cloth bag, and immediately approached him quickly.

Timir didn't go far away. At this moment, there were a few dead branches scattered under his feet, and he was holding a long sword tightly in his hand, looking around vigilantly.

"What's going on?" Lucius felt a little strange, he didn't feel any danger here.

When Timir saw Lucius, the tense expression on his face relaxed, and his tone was a little puzzled: "It seems that someone is peeping. I think he is behind me, but I didn't find anything when I turned around."

"Don't be nervous, maybe the wind is a little louder." Lucius felt that the uneasiness in his heart could not be suppressed, but he let go of his consciousness, and he really couldn't feel any movement nearby.

There was a trace of embarrassment on Timur's face: "I'll go find some dead branches, you go back and wait for me."

"No, I'll go with you..." Lucius refused without thinking.He was a little scared, but not for himself, but for Timur.

Timir froze for a moment, then laughed loudly, grabbed Lucius' hand and walked forward: "Then let's go together!"

Lucius suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if his thoughts had been seen through, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "What are you laughing at, if you don't look for dead branches, it's already night..."

"...Understood." The two teenagers spoke without saying a word, and their figures slowly disappeared into the woods.

A moment later, a cloud of gray smoke suddenly rose near the dead branch that Timir left behind, but it quickly dissipated and fell into the air.

Lucius and Timir didn't encounter any strange things after they acted together. Soon, they picked up enough dead branches to return to the previously selected open space.The ferocious beasts near this clearing had been cleared away, and there was a small stream to get water to the south. Lucius decided to set up a tent on the spot because he didn't know if there was a better place to spend the night.

The tent provided by Harpagon was not big, just big enough for two people to squeeze in, but it was warm and strong.Timmir is the natural enemy of cooking, so he will do the hard work of setting up the tent, while Lucius is responsible for cooking the food.

"Run...is there anyone?...help..." Not long after Lucius set up the cauldron, he heard a cry for help from a distance. He and Timir exchanged glances, and took up the weapon in a tacit understanding At the same time, rush towards the direction of the sound.

What appeared in their eyes were three men in ragged clothes, holding weapons in their hands, they seemed to be mercenaries, but the frightened expressions on their faces seemed to have seen something extremely frightening, not at all what mercenaries should have brave.

Timir stepped forward without hesitation and asked them what danger they encountered, while Lucius, who was standing there, tightened his staff in his hand calmly.

The three escaped mercenaries belonged to the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group, and passed through Misty Island in order to perform a certain mission.It turned out that there were a total of 20 of them traveling together, and they only planned to stay on Misty Island for half a day to rest.But it was rumored that there was a treasure hidden in the forest of Jianyue, so they sneaked into the forest quietly, relying on the large number of them.Although there were some small twists and turns during the treasure hunting process, a box of gold coins was successfully found in the end.At this moment, some of the companions became greedy and poured poison into the drinking water, intending to kill their companions to monopolize the treasure... The three of them happened to be in charge of hunting prey at that time, so they escaped unharmed .

"Are those traitors chasing you?" Timmir looked at the direction the mercenaries came from - there was nothing.

"There were eight of them! When we returned to the camp, we found that our companions were dead, and then we had a conflict with the lurking traitors. Fortunately, we were skilled and evacuated the camp immediately. Unexpectedly, just after we escaped from the pursuit of traitors, we ran into a blue monster..." Among the three fleeing mercenaries, a slightly older but very strong man explained in an orderly manner.

"Cyan monster?" Timmir became more and more suspicious.From Harpagon's point of view, the cyan monster is extremely powerful, but as long as there is Grape Moon Grass, the conflict can be avoided.Since the three mercenaries in front of them came to Jianyue Forest to find the treasure, they should not forget to bring such an important amulet.

"When we were fighting with the traitors, we didn't notice that they deliberately snatched the acuminata, and when we found out..." Another slightly skinny mercenary seemed to see through Timir's doubts, and explained with an annoyed face .

Timir nodded, it wouldn't be surprising if those traitors did this on purpose!

"The cyan monster is chasing you now? Then why hasn't it appeared yet?" Lucius asked coldly.

"Cyan monsters generally don't attack teams with more than three people. They may have seen that we have five people here, so they left." The mature mercenary's tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to be lying.

Lucius also nodded: "Okay, you can take a rest near our tent first."

The three fleeing mercenaries exchanged looks with each other, and the experienced mercenary said first: "My name is Jason..." Then Jason pointed to the slightly thinner mercenary: "Truman!" The remaining mercenary The chunky mercenary took a step forward and smiled, "Colin!"

"I'm Timur! His name is Lucius!" Timir also pointed to himself and Lucius.

Lucius leaned slightly to the side, and guided the direction of the tent with his hands. Jason smiled politely, and led his two partners forward.

When Timir passed by Lucius, he was quietly held by Lucius' hand. He was about to speak when he felt Lucius draw "Be careful!"

There are respected high-level mercenaries in the mercenary organization, but there are also despised hunters.By hunters is meant that they sneak up on their fellows and get something for nothing.Traitors, as Jensen said, belonged to hunters.If these people are caught, the end is very bleak, but almost everyone will not sympathize with them.

Timir had heard Apakon talk about these hunters when he was in Intercana Island, and he remembered Apakon's hateful expression very deeply.Those hunters not only shamelessly guarded the places where other mercenaries completed their missions, but even used to disguise their identities to deceive the sympathy of the other mercenaries, kill them when the other mercenaries relaxed their guard, and rob the treasure.It was precisely because of the existence of such people that the relationship between mercenaries became more and more indifferent.

In fact, if Timir was not there, Lucius could have ignored Jason and the others, or killed the three mercenaries directly, but this did not rule out the possibility of accidentally killing a good person.Timmel understood this, so he was even more grateful for Lucius' consideration of him. He felt very comfortable, as if drinking honey, and couldn't help smiling, and shook Lucius' hand before letting go. open.

Jason and the others had many scars on their faces and bodies, but none of them were serious.After the wound was cleaned, they borrowed Lucius's clothes to change, and then sat by the fire and watched the stewed snake meat in the pot and drool.

"Are you here on a mission?" Sitting was boring, so Jason smiled and started talking to Timir.

Timir wanted to say yes, but suddenly remembered Lucius' warning, so he said dryly: "There is something to do!" He was not used to deceiving people, so he could only choose not to answer directly.

Jason couldn't help being bored, so he couldn't help showing a resentful expression, but soon he adjusted the expression on his face: "Your education is really good, you must have a good family background..."

Timir didn't know how to answer, so he remained silent.

Jason saw that he couldn't arouse the other party's desire to speak, so he had no choice but to stop talking, half-closed his eyes, not sure if he was dozing off or thinking about something.

After the snake meat in the pot was boiled in the beeping soup, Lucius first took out a bowl and handed it to Timir, and then filled a bowl for himself.While looking at Jason, Lucius said indifferently: "You guys also have a little rest, and leave the Gradient Moon Forest as soon as your strength recovers."

Truman and Colin were obviously very hungry, so they ate directly from the pot.But Jason showed a hesitant expression: "Two friends, if it's convenient for you, can you help us avenge our dead partners? As long as those traitors can be killed, half of the treasure can be shared with you..."
