Mercenaries and Adventurers

When he released the bowstring with the magic arrow in his hand, the tall hunter showed a trace of regret. The gentle wife at home didn't know how sad she would be when she learned of his death later. Although he owned this powerful magic arrow, his wife also knew about it. Every time he went out hunting, his wife persuaded him to return this dangerous weapon to the priest of the church and find another priest. Let's make a new one that's less dangerous.

But he is a hunter. Isn't having such a powerful magic arrow what he has been pursuing when he was young?

Even once used, the user will die.

But at least, he will complete a hunting operation that he cannot complete.

And the toddler at home, that chubby boy, looks so much like himself and his brother when they were young. In the future, he will definitely become a strong hunter.

I'm really sorry that I, my father, couldn't witness you growing up. I hope you won't be sad in the future and can devote all your life and energy to new hunting adventures and defeat powerful enemies that I have never defeated.

The fanatical younger brother of the pair of fraternal hunters finally showed a hint of fear as he watched his older brother release the magic arrow that was sure to kill everyone present. He was so young, he didn't expect to die here, and his brother once told him that the devil's flame that exploded after being shot out of this devil's horn magic arrow would definitely burn the contaminated soul as firewood. All.

You can’t even enter the kingdom of gods after death.

Is this the last act of his life? In the world after death, the stories sung by bards are also very exciting, but they seem to have nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, the young hunter tried to turn his head and look at the young knight holding him hostage, hoping to see any fear and fear in this man, which might make him feel a little better.

But before he could even take a glance at the magic arrow, his whole body was kicked violently from behind, and he was knocked straight towards the magic arrow shot by his brother.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

At the last moment before his death, he saw that the red light originally reflected on the projected magic arrow twisted into a roaring terrifying demon head, and then the head turned into emerald green disgusting raging flames, rapidly The expansion exploded.

Ho ho ho oh oh————

The huge roar bloomed instantly along with the explosion of emerald flames, like a huge flower rising rapidly from the ground, or like a huge fireball that exploded when a handful of wheat flour was thrown into the flames.

The sun seemed not to be as bright as the rapidly blooming fire storm at this moment, and the moon was shy and hid in the clouds. Only the stars were indifferent and ignored it all. The large forests around seemed to be screaming sadly and helplessly at this moment.

The nearest pair of brothers, the moment they were swallowed up by the flames, their whole bodies expanded and exploded with more emerald green flames. Only a pair of burnt white skeletons were left on the spot, making the last move of kneeling down and screaming.

But as the fire storm continued to rage, the human skeletons were burned by the bright green flames until not even the dregs were left.

Taking the center point of the confrontation between Kiel and the others as the starting point of the raging fire storm, in just one breath, the storm quickly spread to the surroundings. When it touched something with a living soul, it was like pouring hot oil, fueling the fire even more. The flames expanded and raged.

As the flames expanded, they spread rapidly along the woods, and every old tree became a helper to support this terrible flame - even the trees themselves were wailing in the flames.

This flame is like a galloping war horse, like a raging river, like a storm on the seaside, like lava spewing from a volcano. The magic arrow in the center of the storm releases seemingly endless flames, and at the same time there is a burst of sound that makes people... The fearful laughter seemed like the demons were satisfied with the burning of their souls.

But soon the laughter died down, and there was a hint of doubt, because except for the two humans at the beginning, there were only some useless trees that were slightly better than stupid insects, and not even a mouse. ?

But soon, the green fire storm found a new target. On the edge of the raging flames, there were two human beings.

So in order to ignite more souls, large swathes of emerald green flames rotated and flapped, licking and igniting big trees like waves, turning into hungry flame hounds and chasing the two robbers who were fleeing in embarrassment.

The uninjured bandit's mind was about to be swallowed up by the huge flames that suddenly erupted from behind. He took the time to turn his head and glance behind him, and then his face was full of horror. He was deprived of his ability to think by such a terrifying scene.

At this moment, he should have staggered and fallen to the ground, helplessly falling to the ground and being swallowed up by the flames. But at this moment, the survival instinct subconsciously took over his body. His thumping heart forcibly pumped a large amount of blood to his limbs, and the hormone substances from his internal organs quickly flowed throughout his body along with the blood.

New power drove his body and his numb mind, allowing him to take steps again.

The injured and unconscious companion he had been carrying almost became the culprit of his death at this moment. Without thinking, the bandit left his unconscious companion behind and ran forward on his hands and feet.

He didn't care about picking up the animal hair on his feet when they fell off. He ran forward with bare feet and threw away the weapons on his body, trying to reduce a little weight on his body. He kept running and running until he fell down from exhaustion. When he fell to the ground, he came to his senses while gasping and realized that he had survived.

With difficulty, he turned his head and looked back. The burning woods were already a distant sight.

The originally dark night was illuminated by the storm of emerald green flames raging in the woods. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to reflect the huge emerald green flames on the ground and changed their colors.

Showing the powerful power of the devil.

It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength and energy, and the bandit fainted in a daze. While he was unconscious, he was still muttering in a low voice: "Don't blame me, don't blame me, I can't help it." ,no way……"

-

Maomao and the others stood together on a big rock outside the woods. They opened their round eyes and watched in fear as the woods not far away were enveloped and eaten away by a huge fire storm.

The pupils in their eyes were drawn into a thin line to prevent them from being blinded by the light of the flames.

They could see it clearly. At first, there was a bloom of bright light, and then a fireball exploded from the forest to the ground. Then, like a living flame, the green flames rotated and swallowed everything around them, and gradually Swelling, filling the sky and turning into all kinds of horrific scenes.

As if turned into flames by countless creatures engulfed by the flames, the flames stretched out countless long arms towards the sky, as if even the clouds in the sky were about to be caught and ignited by themselves.

This terrifying sight made the furries hug together in fear, their tails were close to their bodies and tangled randomly with other furry tails. Everyone was shivering. Occasionally, there are mountain fires in the mountains that can ignite the entire mountain range, but that is natural. Although the scene was bigger and more terrifying, it was not as evil and disgusting as the green flames in front of me.

"Meow, meow, meow?"

One Maomao asked Courage Maomao, did that powerful human also die in this terrible flame?

Courage Maomao shook his head, he didn’t know either.

But that powerful human being doesn’t seem to be such an unimaginable human being? He died so inexplicably along with two other powerful human hunters?

"Meow meow, meow meow meow."

Courage Maomao asked everyone to wait here. After the flames are extinguished, go over and see if they can find the remains of powerful humans or weapons. This way, they can be handed over to other humans in exchange for Maomao who is still in the camp and the metal he has obtained to leave safely. qualifications.

Courage Maomao sighed secretly, why was he so unlucky? Is it so difficult to leave the tribe and go out of the mountains and forests to obtain a large amount of metals in human society?

It failed several times before and after.

It seems that when the future returns to the tribe, it will have to do rituals with the wizards in the tribe to wash away its bad luck.

In the quiet, dark and lightless forest, Keir was sitting on a mushroom with his helmet off, laughing.

At first he still laughed quietly, but soon he couldn't stop it anymore. There was no one else around anyway, so he no longer had to worry about anything. He raised his head, grinned his mouth, showing two rows of big teeth, and he could even see The little tongue in the throat laughed as loudly as it could, laughing wantonly and happily.

"Haha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha————, a pair of stupid hunter brothers, die together? Dream on! Hahahahahahahaha, isn't it bad for me to do this? Who cares!"

Kil laughed so hard that he kept beating the plump mushrooms beside him with his fists, causing the neatly arranged two-meter-square mushrooms around him to emit fluorescence on the umbrella cover.

These mushrooms thought that this human being needed their treatment, so they were working hard to activate the mysterious lines on the umbrella cover and exert their mysterious healing abilities.

Kil's body felt warm and his spirit quickly cheered up.

However, he is not injured or exhausted physically or mentally at this moment, so he does not need the treatment of these mushrooms.

After patting the surrounding mushrooms in a friendly manner, Kil muttered that he did not need treatment. The mushrooms seemed to understand Kil's meaning and soon stopped showing the mysterious lines on the umbrella cover.

After laughing enough, Kil got up and tidied himself up, preparing to sleep in the pond camp not far away.

Only then did he discover an extra 'thing' on his elf metal shield.

An arrow was like a bud, biting the strange arrow on the metal on the front of the shield.

"This is? %￥, it's a special arrow that the hunter shot at me!!!"

Kil cursed loudly. He thought that when he used his shield to block the arrow fired by the opponent, the arrow had already bounced away. The result was that it bit firmly on his shield.

This is not possible. This elven metal shield is one of Kil's favorite pieces of equipment. Every time he can, he will find an opportunity to wrap it with animal skins and decorate it. He still cherishes it.

The arrow is red and green, giving the impression that a strange plant has grown into an arrow.

Kil didn't know much about the magic arrows taught by the God of Hunting, so he thought that this arrow was the same as the special arrows used by hunters before. Although it was sophisticated and had some special effects, it was not as terrifying as the arrow he just saw. So powerful.

He broke it off, and found that the arrowhead bud on the front of the thing was still chewed tightly, and it seemed that the front end was firmly fixed on his shield.

"Damn it, my precious shield!"

Kil wailed, holding a light shield and walking along the familiar road to the camp next to the Water of Memories Pond.

There are some tools he stored in the camp that should be able to separate the shield from the arrows on it.

-

The dream forest is extremely quiet, except for the tiny sound of water flowing and dripping from the memory water that emits colorful light, there is almost no sound here.

The surrounding big trees and the thick moss on them would not speak. They would only silently look at the only human being, Keir, bringing a little bit of human vitality to the deep and unchanging forest.

"What is this? What are all these things?"

Kir screamed and let out an incredible cry.

Don't blame him for making a fuss, because the camp by the pond in Kil's memory now seemed strange to him.

Strange colorful mushrooms of various sizes, with slender arms and legs, were walking in circles around the small pond of water of memories. Just like the carnival parade in my memory, various mushrooms with strange colors and shapes lined up in a long line, letting out small cheers from their mouths, and using their respective umbrellas to hold an earth-yellow old man. The leprechaun and its snail shell mount, as well as the old leprechaun's new house, circle strangely around the pond!

Kiel's exclamation disturbed them, and the little goblin with an earthy yellow light all over his body laughed and danced the dance often performed by people in Kendall County. It flew over in the air and waved towards Kiel, seeming to let Kiel also Join them and have fun together.

"No, what are you doing? And where did the mushroom boy with so many activities come from? You won't turn the poisonous mushrooms I gave you into this, right?"

Hearing Kil's question and looking at Kil's face with an incredulous expression, the little elf thrust his arms into his waist triumphantly and let out some small giggles.

He looked like he was coming to praise me and everyone was coming to play together.

Kil speechlessly covered his face with his hands. He really couldn't communicate with this goblin with a strange brain circuit. Perhaps such a little thing actually has no brain at all? So what do they rely on to think?

Thinking of this, Kil stared at the head of the little goblin in confusion.

The little goblin thought that the human Kil was coveting the goblin hat on his head, so he immediately reached out and grabbed the hat tightly on his head. He couldn't let humans snatch it away, and he had to rely on the hat to cover it up. How many hairs are there on the top of the head?

? ? ?

Seeing what the little goblin was thinking at a glance, Kil nodded wordlessly: "No one will snatch your hat. Forget it, why am I telling you this? Can you make these mushrooms with long arms and legs quiet? Some? Also, let them all disperse, all disperse, this is my camp! You can do whatever you want when I’m not here, but when I’m here, just let them disperse, okay?”

The little elf stuck out his tongue slightly at Kil, ignored Kil, and flew into his new house.

boom! The small door was still closed.

There was a thumb-sized mushroom on the second floor of the house. It waved its mushroom fist at Keir as if in demonstration, and then closed the windows where they lived. Obviously they heard what Keir just said.

These little mushrooms living in the goblin's house seemed to be a little smart, but the walking mushrooms surrounding the house looked a little stupid. At this time, the little goblin got back into the house, and they were still circling the pond. .

These mushrooms come in large and small sizes. The largest ones are about the size of an oak barrel, while the smaller ones are only the size of a fingernail. When going around in circles, the big mushrooms often crush the small mushrooms, but the small ones with arms and legs swing quickly. He moved his hands and feet to the wooden box in the camp next to him and rooted his mycelium feet on it. Soon, the squashed little mushroom returned to its original state.

Little chubby, very cute, so cute!

"My wooden box!!! You guy, you actually eat my wooden box!!"

Kil hurriedly ran over and waved away the little mushrooms that wanted to eat his wooden box again. Then Kil checked the various supplies he had left in the camp, and his blood pressure rose as soon as he counted them.

Only half of the large barrel of ale prepared before was left. When he opened the lid of the wooden barrel containing the ale, there were still a few fat and drunken mushrooms floating on the ale.

As soon as Keir saw the colorful umbrella caps of these mushrooms, he knew something was wrong. He quickly fished them out of the wine barrel, then threw them away, one in each hand, far into the deep forest: "Get out of here! You wine thieves!!”

Kil was furious, and in the little goblin's house, the little goblin and several of his mushroom minions were sticking to the window, secretly observing Kil's various behaviors as a human through the gaps in the window.

When they saw Keel discovering the drunken mushrooms in the wine barrel, they all giggled happily.

They smiled even more happily when they saw that Kiel found several burping mushrooms growing on the bag containing grain.

When they saw that Kiel found that the wooden box containing various tools and weapons and equipment was pockmarked by various mushrooms, they were already rolling back and forth on the ground happily.

The more he searched, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he roared. His angry roar made the little goblin and his mushroom friends finally feel satisfied and happy!

"You guys, hey, next time you will find a way to use something you can't eat as a container! Let's see what you do!"

After losing his temper, Kil finally found a suitable tool. He used the huge fallen Elf stone sword next to him as a workbench. He held down the Elf metal shield with one hand and iron pliers with the other to clamp the strange arrow. part, and then tentatively pull it out.

As a result, he didn't move.

This thing is as solid as if it was welded on.

This is not okay. Although the surface of his shield has various pits and impact scratches left in various previous battles, those are battle experiences and scars of honor. Of course, they are scars for the shield. .

But at least the entire front of the shield is roughly flat, and the damage on it will not affect the normal use of the shield.

But what does it mean to have a colorful arrow stuck on the front of the shield?

Do you do performance art?

This is not okay.

Kil snorted coldly, and with the crowd of mushroom boys watching, he shouted loudly, used the knight's life energy, pressed down the shield with one hand and pulled the iron pincers with the other.

Finally, as his strength gradually increased, when he twisted the iron pincer alive with one hand, the arrow was finally pulled from the shield.

"Let's go!"

The red and green, mysterious arrow that looked like a strange plant just whirled and landed on the silver floor tiles next to it.

The mushroom boys seemed to be frightened, or perhaps they were afraid of the arrow itself. They crowded out of the way, and the few unlucky ones on the edge were pushed into the pond in the center of the camp by their companions.

As soon as Mushroom Boy fell in, the whole mushroom became strange, and then melted and disappeared into the colorful pond that didn't look very deep.

This scene frightened a large number of mushroom boys. These mushrooms with arms and legs, which could not even speak, fled in panic and ran towards the deep and dense forest around them.

Kil seemed to hear the little goblin's angry cry, because a mushroom boy the size of a wine barrel was carrying its new house in a panic and ran into the surrounding woods with its new house.

"Haha, let you eat and drink from me."

Kil smiled evilly, reached out and picked up the mysterious and beautiful-looking, strange plant-like arrow.

"What's the use of this thing?"
