Chapter 447 Entering the forest for the first time
"We must be crazy to leave the city and enter the gray forest at this time."
Although the knights obeyed the order and walked into the forest, they could not hide their confusion and confusion.
But they could not refuse the orders of the knights and the requests of the lords.
This time, the leader of the team is not Catherine, but Captain Benn of the Knights, a senior knight who has been in the industry for at least 40 years, and whose strength can be ranked among the top three in Schleier.
Under the condition of ensuring the safety of his own family, this is probably the strongest combat force he can send.
Obviously, the lord was also worried that something might happen to Lu Ping'an and his party, especially after he confirmed that the magic contract was indeed binding.
The lord licked him so diligently, and Lu Ping'an could understand why everyone would be so crazy when it came to the moment of encountering the devil. Even the big cat was so excited that he couldn't control it. It was just a round-trip ticket, a trading chip whose value could not be measured.
All explorers bring "tens of thousands of gold" with them, so how could they not make a lot of money?
In daily exploration of another world, when others have families and families, you must at least deal fairly with what you want to buy. Nowadays, business without capital is so comfortable and robbery is not so fast. The other party directly collects treasures for you to choose from, and is deeply afraid of you.
unhappy.
"No wonder the explorer qualifications are opened at this time. Encounters with evil are common, but such safe and easy fishing is not common. The first batch of explorers returned home with a lot of money, and the professionals who stayed on the earth will not
go Ape?"
Of course, this kind of thing probably won't happen many times. There will be a fee for subsequent ferry tickets, and most of them will be very expensive. This is the only time it's a no-cost transaction.
If you don't bring back enough profits, you may still lose money. If you still lose money on the discounted tickets for the first few times, either you are too unlucky or you are really not suitable for this industry.
Lu Ping'an also asked the lord about the situation of other "predecessors" from the outside world. After all, he needed to understand the situation of some competitors and their methods.
"They didn't have a boat ticket. They just said they could take us, but they didn't guarantee that we could go through that very difficult journey, and they also asked me to give up all the non-combatants."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an felt more and more subtle. In this way, those seniors could be said to be benevolent and righteous.
If they couldn't board the God's Boat, they would naturally have to run home, that is, walking back to "godly realms" and "foreign lands" one after another. No matter how difficult it was when they came, it was possible to triple the distance back.
Maybe these are not explorers at all, but a group of astral travelers who follow wherever they go.
They couldn't get the tickets, so the lord was naturally unwilling to take out the treasure. He also expected to get another ticket. But when they realized they had to leave, they took it themselves.
Of course, if the lord followed them with the knights, there would be 90% hopelessness. That road would be too difficult and dangerous.
Perhaps, it was because the lord knew about the existence of the "ship ticket" that the "seniors" blushed. In that case, they might have planned to settle here, but suddenly discovered the "truth" and had no choice but to do so.
Cash out.
"come yet?"
When they first entered the outer reaches of the forest, the group could feel as if something was following them all the way.
There seems to be something following you all the way in the forest. Beasts don't have much patience, especially "them".
"Really, they have all mutated as expected."
The wolves walked out of the forest. Their white fur was slightly misty, but their bodies were at least two times larger than their counterparts on Earth. The most obvious difference was the blade-like inverse teeth that grew on the outside.
"Sword-tooth wolf? What's the name?" Literally translated, strange names always appear. Lu Ping'an observed the wolf cubs and assessed their combat prowess.
Yes, these giant wolves, which are about the size of calves, are just wolf pups that are less than a month old.
It is the "descendant of the wolf god" that the intelligence collected before. But the cost of its fur has only been slightly increased.
"It's a pity. How can I sell this fur now? I don't even want it for free."
Nowadays, the fur of these wolf species is completely rotten. There are colorful rotten patches on their fur, and there are various mushrooms and eyeballs growing out of their heads, making them look like resurrected corpses.
This is the most common mutation. The DNA control template of the body has been completely out of control, and foreign genes have contaminated their roots.
"It's quite delicious." This scene made Lu Pingan swallow his saliva subconsciously.
Recently, he, well, it was Zhixi who was practicing his chef skills, focusing on the "primary mutant stew". This wolf species has noble blood and is quite fragrant when cooked.
It is said that eating it can slightly increase the pollution resistance, which is about the level of level 1 professionals. However, this thing itself has its own pollution. It is still not recommended for professionals below level 2. It seems to have some problems, but it is quite delicious.
It’s still free, so no problem!
"Knights, form a formation!"
But it was the knights who acted as guards who took action first.
The hairless old knight is a rare throwback to his ancestors. He is covered in armor like dragon scales and looks like a large lizard.
But his prestige among the knights is obviously not comparable to that of a young man like Catherine.
When the order was given, the knights who were initially confused or even lazy (what am I doing here) quickly took action.
Lu Pingping and his party also had the opportunity to see the fighting methods of the main local combat professionals.
Knights holding large shields were scattered in front, left and right of the team. The gaps were large enough for the cavalry to charge, but they could not completely isolate the wolves.
"Turtle Dragon!"
Following a loud shout, the phantoms of giant dragon-tailed turtles appeared on the relief shields.
Rectangular blue force field shields protected the knights, and the space gaps that originally overflowed were filled by these shields.
They form the wall of the team, a living mobile fortress.
But in this case, wouldn’t the rear be in danger? Wouldn’t it be a matter of looking at the head rather than the bottom?
"Holy Fire."
Catherine knelt down to pray and held up the holy icon in her hand. The next moment, flames fell from the sky and burned around the back of the team.
Those orange flames with purifying power caused discomfort and roars from the rotting wolves as soon as they arrived, but they also took the initiative to leave the flames.
"Archer."
Knight Benn ordered again. The knights who were protected in the safe area took out their longbows and crossbows. One after another, phantoms appeared on the weapons, including birds, beasts and even human figures. The next moment, there was a colorful barrage.
Some of the attacks hit a large area, some froze the ground as soon as they hit the ground, and some continued to fire continuously, which was an eye-opener for outsiders.
One by one, the wolves were killed instantly. Some were able to struggle a little after being hit by the arrow, but were immediately hit with a last hit.
Compared with the "knight armaments" in the hands of these knights, the "enchanted weapons" that Lu Ping An purchased before are simply rubbish among rubbish.
The knights are not impatient, they know that the corrupted beasts are impatient and they will soon attack the battle formation.
This is the knight's strategy for dealing with wild beasts, hunting with minimum consumption and maximum profit.
If there is no accident, they will not retreat even more driven by hunger and rage.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, a wolf howled and an accident happened.
The wolf cubs whimpered and growled twice, then turned and ran away without hesitation, leaving only corpses on the ground.
Although they had won easily, the knights' originally relaxed expressions turned serious.
"Corruption" will make the monster's "desire" even more fanatical. There is no end to the hunger. The killer will not even spare his own people, and can make the corrupted monster retreat with just his roar.
