Chapter 9 Unusual

In the silent mountain forest, Adil stood on the spot, holding a green solid in his right hand.

The green solid was dug out from the body of the green-eyed snake, like a stone, with green snake blood on it, which looked a little disgusting.

Looking at this green snake stone, Adil stood on the spot and thought for a while, wiped off the snake blood on it, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, he squeezed a little bit into his mouth.

"Ding! The effective substance is detected. After swallowing a hundred pills, the growth system will be 0.1."

The message in his mind made Adil's face happy.

"How many snakes are there around?" Adil thought for a while and asked the hunter who followed behind him.

The middle-aged hunter wearing the animal skin robe was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect Adil to ask this question, and then quickly responded: "There are quite a few such green-eyed snakes around here, and you can often see them, but If you want to find more, you have to go deep into the forest, where this snake lives."

He looked at the snake stone in Adil's hand, and asked tentatively, "Does the lord want this kind of snake stone? If the lord wants it, I can help the lord get some."

Adil turned around and looked at him in surprise: "There is this kind of snake stone for sale nearby? Didn't it say that the green-eyed snake is highly poisonous?"

"Although this green-eyed snake is poisonous, the meat of this snake is very delicious, and this snake stone is also a very valuable medicinal material, so experienced old hunters often come to catch it."

The middle-aged hunter explained to Adil: "If the adults are willing to pay a high price, there will be many experienced hunters around here to serve you. I believe you will be able to catch some soon."

"Then I'll trouble you." Adil didn't hesitate much about this matter, but after thinking about it, he agreed to the proposal.

A hundred snakes is not a small number. If Adil alone catches them, he may not be able to get them together. It is also a good thing that someone can help with the acquisition.

They talked there for a while and soon came to a consensus. Adil offered a high price of one gold coin for each snake and asked the hunter to help buy it.

The life of the common people is not easy in this world. If a gold coin lives in a compact way, it can already maintain the basic survival of a family for a month, which is definitely a high price for those hunters.

As the heir to the baron, Adil has servants sending money every month to support his life, but he only has one or two hundred gold coins per month.

After the deal was reached, the hunter on the side looked happy, and the faces of the surrounding followers also showed a faint expression of envy.

It can be expected that when this hunter goes to trade with other people, he will definitely take a cut of that gold coin.

But Adil doesn't care about this, it's human nature. All he wanted was the materials he could get, and he didn't want to ask how those materials were obtained.

"Okay, this area has been checked, let's go to the next place."

After searching carefully in place, Adil looked around and said to the other people behind him.

After searching for such a long time, there is nothing special except for the traces of some mountain bears in the surrounding area.

According to the analysis of the chip in his mind, these traces are basically from a week or two ago. According to the characteristics of the mountain bears wandering around, they may have gone to other places for activities now.

Adil took the people back to the place where the horse was tied before, ready to go to other places to see.

The arm gently stroked the black horse, Adiel's eyes suddenly condensed, and the sound of the chip machine was ringing in his mind.

"Ding! Unknown breath molecules detected, analyzed as adult male humans, and the number is three."

"Someone came here just now!" Adier's mind was shocked, and following the direction of the chip analysis, he subconsciously looked in a direction to the right.

On the right, there is a grass bush, in which a low grass and trees grow luxuriantly, it looks very natural, and there is no trace of man-made.

However, this is only a camouflage on the surface. Under the analysis of the chip, there are very shallow stampede marks in the grass and trees, as well as strong breath molecules, spreading all the way to the distance.

After discovering this, the expression on Adier's face remained unchanged, and his eyes quickly shifted to several horses, as if he just glanced casually.

However, his right hand was quietly placed on the cross sword on his waist, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

This hesitation did not last long, and soon, he made a decision in his heart, and the cross sword clenched in his right hand was naturally put down.

He is not the original owner of this body, nor is he a die-hard loyalist of Count Boria, and he has no intention to die for the other party.

Ordinary tasks are fine, but this kind of thing that wants to beat people to death is of no benefit to Adiel.

Adil quietly stroked the big black horse under him, while secretly using a chip to detect the horse's state.

This is just in case. Although he didn't want to fight to death with the other party in his heart, the other party might not have this awareness, and he might take advantage of the time they were away to do things.

"Ding! The horse is in good health and has no abnormal reaction."

The sound of the chip in his mind sounded, making Adier a little relieved.

"Let's go."

He rode on his horse, as if he had found nothing, and walked forward with a few people behind him, preparing to go to the next location for inspection and investigation.

After waiting for a while, it was confirmed that Adil had left far away. In the original place, three people just walked out of the nearby grass.

They are wearing emerald green tights, and their movements are sharp and fast. In this area, they are difficult to be found by the cover of the surrounding scenery.

"Why didn't you kill a few of them just now?" Looking at Adier and the others in the far direction, among the three, a man with a beard on his face was a little puzzled and asked a young man beside him.

The young man was also wearing a green tights, but he looked much more handsome than the scumbag man, and the expression on his face was calm.

"These people are all here to investigate the situation in this area. If we do it, in the end, no matter what, it will arouse the suspicion of the other party, and it is very likely that our arrangement during this period of time will be exposed."

"And even if we really do it, with the three of us, it's not certain who will kill who in the end."

After explaining, the young man looked at the direction where Adil and the others were going away, and said solemnly.

"No way?" The bearded man said with disbelief: "Just a few ordinary people and a noble child who is still breastfeeding in a woman's arms? I can kill them all by myself."

"That's not an ordinary noble child." At this time, another person said, with a solemn expression on his face: "That is Adil Fakus, a famous knight genius nearby."

"This is not a genius that was blown out, but the kind that has actually been on the battlefield. I heard that it was about to reach the standard of being promoted to a knight half a year ago, and it is estimated that it is not far from activating the seed of life now."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of fear in the man's tone: "This kind of strength, unless the real knight comes, or it is impossible to keep the other party, let alone the three of us."

"Okay, let's end today's affairs. The most important task now is to set up the front-end base, so that the people who follow up can come."

 

When the three people at the back appeared, Adil was walking towards the road where he came.

Because it was almost noon, the sun was very bright in the sky.

Adil observed it, and then ordered the group to find an abandoned village and prepare to rest in it for a while.

After walking in, Adil tied up the horse under the shade of the tree, and then walked in, looking at the scene inside.

It is said to be an abandoned village, but in fact the buildings here are still very new, and the dust accumulation in some places is not serious. The traces of living are obvious, and it seems that some people lived here not long ago.

This is actually one of the villages that was slaughtered by the mountain bear some time ago.

There are damaged and collapsed buildings all around, as if they were hit by some giant beast, and they appear to be fragmented. In some corners that are not easy to clean up, there are also some dried bloodstains that have not been cleaned up, adding a subtle bloody feeling to the whole scene.

Standing in this place, Adil glanced around vigilantly. His good sight and the hint of the chip in his mind made him able to find some wrong marks around him.

After confirming that there was no hidden danger, they found a place to rest for a while.

The hunters on the side are skilled here to find some kitchen utensils that can be used, such as cauldrons and some tableware, which can be used on the spot after a little cleaning.

Others also went up to help skillfully, and soon, in a house that was still intact, a large pot was filled with thick soup, and a little meaty fragrance continued to emanate from it, making several people around could not help but swallow.

These soups contained some of the prey that Adil and others had caught before, including the green-eyed snake, which was also skinned and put in, and boiled with other ingredients.

As is customary, a follower handed the best snake meat to Adil, then sat silently on the spot, looking at Adil eagerly.

"Let's use it together." Adil said casually, seeing the eyes of several people around him watching him.

The few people around were relieved and hurriedly took the tableware to prepare their meals. However, the movement was still very slight, for fear of disturbing Adil.

After lunch, they rested for a while, and then prepared to leave here and go to the next location for inspection.

Before leaving, he seemed to have noticed something, and Adil suddenly frowned.

In my mind, the sound of chip machinery sounded.

"Ding! A known breath molecule was detected and analyzed as an adult male, and the number is three."

The sound of the chip prompt stopped Adil's forward movement temporarily.
