After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Zhao decided to go and help.

It goes without saying that people's lives are at stake. It doesn't hurt to talk to the hunter first to understand the situation.

Anyway, those wild wolves are no longer a big threat to Tang Zhao. They can be solved with some effort. The wolf skins can also be exchanged for money, and the money can be exchanged for carriages. No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss.

After the decision was made, the goblins who were not suitable for fighting were allowed to fly and hide in the tree canopy. Tang Zhao led a limited number of goblins towards the place where the smell of blood emanated.

——

Soon after, Tang Zhao and his party were near where they were.

The sharp long sword was swung in the hand of the heavily armored warrior, and the blade came into contact with a wild wolf half a man tall, and the opponent was immediately split into two like butter.

Easily dodging the bites of the other two wild wolves, the soldier swung his long sword horizontally and exerted a little force on his wrist. The wild wolf that failed in the attack was directly knocked away four or five meters away by him, and fell to the ground with a wailing sound.

This situation successfully frightened the other wild wolves. They spread out and circled around the armored warrior, looking for weaknesses and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The soldier looked relaxed. He turned his head and complained dissatisfiedly to the people watching the show behind him.

"Teamwork, friends! Even if it's just a few beasts, don't just look at it, especially Tina. You're almost falling asleep. Can you respect your opponent?

If I am bitten to death by these wild beasts, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life."

"I don't know how to think too much."

"All the good wine he saved in the Chimera Tavern belong to me, and you can divide the rest as you see."

Several people showed gloating smiles one after another, not forgetting to damage this soldier.

They were only a few meters away from the armored warriors, but the wolves were not wary of them at all, as if they had not seen them at all.

"Oh, come on, friends, please give me a favor, Guinevere. I often can't control my strength and I'm prone to accidents."

The person who was called was wearing light leather armor, had long, smooth golden hair, and had a beautiful appearance that looked like someone who had stepped out of a classical oil painting.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of long pointed ears. It is obvious that this person has elf blood.

She smiled and shook her head, indicating that the armored warriors could handle it on their own.

Seeing this, the armored warrior sighed, loosened his grip, and threw away the sword.

Seeing this, the pack of wolves attacked from multiple directions at the same time, and pounced on the armored warrior.

The armored warrior ignored the bite of their fangs, made fists with both hands, and directly hit one of the wild wolves on the head, causing him to fall unconscious and not know whether he was alive or dead.

Then he changed his fists into claws, grabbed the neck of a wild wolf with each hand, and controlled them in mid-air.

"Arch Mage, come here and cast some magic as you like. I can't keep carrying these guys, right?"

The person named Tina was wearing a cloak and her face was unreal. She nodded lightly, and then two streams of light flew out from her hands, spread out and got into the wild wolves, and they immediately fell asleep.

The armored warrior let out a long breath, and then he looked at the people behind him with deep resentment, but they seemed to be at ease.

"You are wearing heavy armor made by top dwarf craftsmen. Although it is not engraved with runes, it cannot be destroyed by a wild beast. Even if those lycanthropes surround you and slash at you with knives and cut off their knives, you

It won’t hurt much, and I have some confidence in the skills of the Mountain Kingdom.”

"Tempus, don't treat your lively and cheerful friends as straw dummies for training. That will cause a psychological shadow on me."

No one was obviously angry, they were just bickering.

"Okay, everyone," spellcaster Tina spoke with a clear and gentle voice, "We have received a commission, and the goal is to deal with the lycanthropes in this forest. Even if it is indeed too simple for us, the other party has also killed them before.

A villain who has killed more than a dozen people, it never hurts to be careful, and I don’t want to attend your funeral right now.”

"Tina, when will you stop talking about life and death?"

The armored warrior complained casually, but he did restrain himself a lot and stopped arguing and complaining with others.

Guinevere took a few steps forward, came to the two wild wolves, and conducted various inspections on them. The rest of the people watched quietly.

At this moment, her ears moved slightly, and then she raised her head and stared at the bushes in front of her.

"Come out, Francois found you just now when he was hunting the wolf. You have been staying where you are. There must be something wrong with us."

As soon as he said this, after a few seconds of silence, an extra-large lizard head emerged from the bushes.

[It’s a little tricky, but it’s not a big problem. Fortunately, I brought the goblin with me.]

Looking at the few people in front of him, Tang Zhao couldn't help but feel lucky for his decision - a beast with a ferocious face and a ferocious beast that listened to the goblin were two different concepts.

The former is called a beast, and the latter is strictly speaking a kind of guardian beast.

Appearing in front of him were five fully armed humanoid creatures, four of which were humans and one who looked like an elf.

The three men were all wearing heavy plate armor covering their whole bodies, one human woman was the caster, and the elf looked like a scout.

It's a bit like a team of adventurers with strong fantasy elements, but Tang Zhao didn't think so.

Because the armor they wore was quite gorgeous. He didn't understand the dwarf craftsmen, but he could tell at a glance that it was indeed expensive. Cynthia said that most adventurers who make a living by commissioning are not rich, and it is difficult to afford such a thing.

Expensive equipment.

At first glance, it seems to be a tailor-made style, with the coat of arms of the owner's family engraved on it, which further shows that the user's background is not simple. At most, a small noble would have his family's crest printed on the shield.

Based on what they just said, Tang Zhao judged that these people were a group of young gentlemen who came to experience life.

It's not a bad thing. A young man who is inexperienced and has a righteous heart is always easier to talk to than an experienced adventurer who has been struggling in society for half his life.

The key point is that the other party must not be short of money, and Tang Zhao needs money very much now, thanks to human social activities.

Tang Zhao was carrying Cynthia and several goblin warriors on his back. He moved as slowly as possible while paying attention to Cynthia's actions.

Not knowing what these human beings were like, Tang Zhao would never reveal his high intelligence easily, otherwise he might get into trouble.

So this time I had to let Cynthia do it. With the elves present, I thought they wouldn't be too rude to the Picklings.

"Hello, I am Cynthia Grimm Silvanus, the pick spirit in the Cangguan Forest. I am glad to see that you have eliminated the wild wolf."

The language is not the Mu language that the goblins usually use for conversation, but the common language of humans. There is no communication barrier between the two parties.

Seeing this, several people looked at each other, and finally the elf named Guinivea stood up, walked to Tang Zhao and Cynthia, and leaned down slightly.

"I'm also glad to see that you elves are okay. The fire was very strong last night, and the firelight could be clearly seen on the walls of the royal city. I am the half-elf Guinevere Alberga Michaela, and the remaining few are mine.

Adventurer's Companion."

The woman in front of me is a half-elf, not an elf. It is said that elves can distinguish the human characteristics of a half-elf at a glance, and humans can also distinguish the elven characteristics of a half-elf at a glance.

This was very difficult for Tang Zhao, who believed that beautiful/handsome humanoids with pointed ears were considered elves.

Picklings and half-elves have a common language, and there is no hostility towards each other. With each other's words, things began to become clearer.

Cynthia was cautious and didn't say anything related to the migration of the same race. Other than that, she said everything that needed to be said. And judging from Guinevere's appearance, she probably didn't have any reservations and she told the whole story.

There was not much difference from Tang Zhao's guess. The three armored warriors were named Francois, Henry and Louis. They were indeed young people from the military aristocracy of the royal capital, and their ranks were not low.

The spell caster named Tina seems to be the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the royal capital. Plus Guinivea, a half-elf, I don't know how the five of them got together.

After all, it was not a political exchange meeting. Guinevere did not say much about this aspect, focusing on the purpose of their coming here.

In short, there have been many murders or disappearances here, causing people to panic. The Sheriff finally determined that the murderer was a lycanthrope, so he issued a reward related to it.

A group of young people with excessive curiosity and energy accepted this commission, which was not difficult for them, and planned to take this opportunity to go out to the city to have a look.

Of course, they were also a little curious about last night's fire, so they took this opportunity to investigate and plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"That's what happened. We plan to use the wild wolf to track the location of the lycanthropes in reverse, and finally eliminate the harm to the people."

The plan is really not comprehensive, but considering that their strength can crush the lycanthropes, it is still acceptable.

Cynthia looked very nervous and glanced at Tang Zhao from time to time: "Well, regarding things related to the lycanthrope, we should know the location of his lair and are willing to help you find them. But on the other hand, there is one thing we really need.

You help."

Guinevere raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you are indeed in a difficult situation, otherwise you wouldn't ask for help from outsiders like us. If there is anything you can do to help, please tell me. At least I am happy to help you."

"Me too."

“Same”

The three people behind him hurriedly nodded and spoke, but Tina remained silent, as if she was thinking about something.

——

Wanting to borrow a large enough carriage, this kind of request is a bit difficult for ordinary people, but for these young masters, it is a trivial matter.

Peak was kind-hearted and a little shy at the same time. He didn't ask for anything and just borrowed the carriage, which made her jump for joy and overjoyed.

It was agreed that Tang Zhao would be responsible for taking them to find the lycanthrope's lair.

He must have seen it once before. The cave was very suitable for hiding. The entrance was blocked by a large amount of vegetation, and there were enough supplies and supplies to eat and drink for a long time inside. In short, it was the most likely place. If they couldn't find them, there was nothing they could do.

.

You can pick out the opponent bit by bit with your own sense of smell, but this will be a waste of time. If you can do this quickly, it's better not to delay it. Time is tight and we can't afford it.
