v8 Chapter 6: animal attack

"It's a pity, all the good things were picked up by the people in front."

After confirming how the tragic situation at the rest point was caused, the seasoned adventurer John certainly did not give up the idea of ​​collecting supplies, and he called Parr to go with him to find supplies.

However, they came late at the back of the convoy. The valuable materials here were all picked up by the adventurers and caravan guys in front. Adventurers must have a good eye when they go out, so as not to miss good things.

"There are still a bunch of rough gemstones here. It's probably because they're too bulky, so no one touches them."

John sadly glanced at the rough gemstones scattered in the rest area, and then walked back to the carriage. He did not know the agreement between Parr and Darlene, nor did he inquire about it.

John only asked Parr if there was any danger, and after Parr shook his head in denial, he let it go.

So John didn't know that Pal and Darlene were going to "pick up" gems when they were resting at night, and he didn't know that Pal had such a talent.

The useless rough gemstone in John's eyes is a good thing in Parr's eyes. He ran over and glanced quickly with wide eyes.

"This is good, this is good, that..."

After confirming the target, Parr began to pick up the rough gemstone quickly, and Darlene, who loved gemstones, also came to help. She carried a sack with her, or in other words, she carried all her belongings with her.

According to Parr's observations these days, he has determined that Darlene's waist is definitely a space spiritual tool. Darlene often stuffs things into it, but she doesn't see it bulging.

However, Parr didn't ask any more questions. It was enough to know that there were space spirit tools in this world. He thought about finding a mysterious looking ring to wear on his left hand after he arrived in Luminous City. He could pretend to be a space spirit tool. Space has an explanation.

"I'm so smart!"

While he was busy, Parr didn't forget to brag about himself when suddenly, he flashed a flash of light.

"what?"

Pal turned his head to look, it was a dark green flash, buried deep in a small pile of rough gemstones, extremely dazzling, here is Yao Pal's **** eyes with bright pupils opened.

"nice one!"

Pal rushed over, he thought he had found the spirit stone again, but when he pulled open the pile of unremarkable gems, it turned out to be just a dark green stone, not a spirit stone or a gem at all. rough stone.

"What is this?"

Parr picked up the stone and looked at it. In his vision with the bright pupil turned on, the stone was extremely dazzling and exuded a strong light, but if the bright pupil was turned off, the stone would be ordinary, and thrown to the The kind that no one picks up on the street, and some people even think it gets in the way and kick it.

"It's not like a spirit stone!"

The movement on Parr's side caught Darlene's attention, she turned her head to look, her pupils shrank suddenly.

"Has the plague begun to act?"

With a murmur, Darlene walked over quickly and slapped the stone in Parr's hand with a slap.

"This thing can't be touched!"

Immediately afterwards, Darlene kicked the stone far away, and then took out the white gemstone from before, and after that, a beam of white light shone on Parr's hands.

呲呲...

In an instant, the black mist representing the plague rose.

"This……"

Parr, who was still about to ask something, instantly widened his eyes, but he didn't expect that there was a plague on the rock! The green light was so strong just now that he didn't notice it.

"Dalena, what is that stone?"

"A kind made by plague cultists..."

Darlene put away the white gemstone but hesitated, as if thinking about how to describe the function of the stone, and finally she clapped her palm and said:

"Let's put it this way! The beasts that attacked this caravan were attracted by the stone. In order to accurately achieve their goals, the cultists sometimes placed that kind of stone at the target, attracting the beasts of the plague, covered with Plague, it is better not to touch or not to touch."

"I see!"

Pal nodded and understood in his heart, that stone is equal to a signal source, a signal source that attracts plague beasts, no wonder it is placed in the pile of rough gems, inconspicuous is the most basic requirement!

Then Parr stopped paying attention to the stone and continued to pick up valuable rough gemstones. Darlene took one last look at the stone with a somewhat inexplicable look in her eyes.

"Little one, what are you doing? Come back quickly, the convoy is far away."

Soon, John's shouts rang out, and Parr and Darlene ran back. This time they got a lot.

……

Whoa, whoa...

The misty caravan, which continued to move forward, soon encountered a rushing stream, and then the caravan turned and walked along the straight road beside the stream. At this point, the journey was at its final stage.

With the sound of the stream flowing, the time came to evening, and the misty caravan found a rest spot and settled down. Because of the day's events, the people in the caravan raised their vigilance tonight, and there were even more people on the night watch.

"What did you get today?"

"..."

The vigil is boring. If people don't say something, they will soon fall asleep. Fortunately, today people have endless topics, which are the valuable things they picked up from the caravan that was wiped out by the herd during the day. .

People were talking excitedly, and it was late at night.

Ow...

A howl suddenly resounded through the night sky, and then dozens of leopard-shaped beasts with red eyes rushed out of the deep forest and went straight to the misty caravan stationed at the rest point.

"Beast attack!"

The night watchman who was the first to see the leopard-shaped beast opened his mouth and roared, and the people who had no sleepiness began to prepare.

Soon, the first leopard-shaped beast rushed to the front of the carriage wall, its strong limbs jumped vigorously, and the terrifying bouncing force made it jump high, and its sharp teeth went straight to the neck of a night watchman.

boom!

However, the leopard-shaped beast's intention was interrupted by a black iron spear before it could succeed. Couldn't get up on the ground.

Ow...

The death of the first leopard-shaped beast did not stop the other leopard-shaped beasts. They continued to jump up one by one, and then were intercepted by the guards in the air. The minor ones were seriously injured, and the severe ones died directly.

Soon, these dozens of leopard-shaped beasts who were not afraid of death all rushed into the street.

roar... ow... bang bang...

However, before people could breathe a sigh of relief, beast roars rang out around the fog caravan, followed by a variety of beasts rushing out of the surrounding darkness, many of them quasi beasts with strength reaching the apprentice level.

A fierce battle broke out.

The side of Parr and John was not spared either. The two and Darlene boarded the carriage fence as soon as they heard the movement, and began to kill all kinds of beasts and quasi-monsters that came rushing in.

"One, two, three..."

Pal grabbed the lengthened black dagger in both hands and swung it so hard that these were all energy points! It was delivered to the door with four legs, not bad! really not bad!

……

"This caravan is a bit tough."

"really!"

In the deep forest in the dark, there are two people and a leopard.

Both of them were wearing dark green cloaks, one was tall and the other was short, and they were obviously plague cultists.

The leopard was dark all over, without a trace of stray hair, with iron locks inlaid with green gravel on his neck and limbs, and his eyes were red like copper bells. It was no different from the beasts that attacked the caravan. Ink Shadow Leopard, the overlord of the surrounding mountains and forests.

The two plague cultists communicated, and then the shorter one raised his hand and patted the ink shadow leopard beside him.

"Should we send it over?"

"..."

The taller Plague Cultist thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"Forget it, the most important thing for us now is to recover the divine stone."

"alright!"

The two plague cultists stopped talking, turned and walked towards the direction of the misty caravan. The controlled Mo Yingbao showed a struggling look in the eyes, and then was suppressed by the plague shackles on his body.

rustling rustling...

Ink Shadow Leopard, whose eyes became more and more red, followed silently to the ground.

……

"kill!"

Parr slashed a red-eyed beast again, and then found that it was the last one, and the fierce and short-lived beast attack stopped.

"Why is it gone?"

Pal, who was not enjoying himself enough, mumbled, and then glanced at the blade in his hand.

Drip, detected...

"absorb!"

Drop, after the absorption, a total of 520 life energy points and 21 spiritual energy points were obtained.

Life Energy Points: 2745

Mental Energy Points: 125

They are all ordinary beasts with a few apprentice-level quasi-beasts interspersed among them. Because of the large number of them, the life energy points given are okay, but the mental energy points are not enough. The ordinary beast Pal kills seven or eight, eight Only nine can get 1 spiritual energy point.

"It would be nice if you came a few more times."

Pal looked at the two newly learned magic skills, thinking that if possible, they should be upgraded to full level first.

……

Tonight's beast attack was just this wave~lightnovelpub.net~ and it never happened again. People stayed nervous all night, and by dawn, most of them were very tired.

"Set off!"

No matter how tired you are, it can't affect the itinerary. After packing up, the misty caravan set off again.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Cough cough..."

Accidents always come inadvertently. Before noon, a small number of guys in the caravan started to cough. At first, it was nothing but a few coughs. Later, it became more and more serious, and the scope became larger and larger. This is also the case with lower adventurers.

"what happened?"

Jim Knight grabbed the steward Marcus, who was running around in the caravan.

"Mr. Jim, I don't know why, many guys started coughing." Marcus briefly described the situation he encountered.

"What did the doctors in the team say?"

With such a long convoy and such a long journey, there will definitely be a doctor in it. Don't be too skilled in medicine, as long as you can cure some minor illnesses and injuries.

"They couldn't find the reason. They just said that it seemed like a plague. They couldn't cure it. They had to come from the church."

"Plague..."

Jim pondered for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Marcus, go and tell others, don't approach the lady's carriage without permission."

"Yes."

Marcus turned around and left, Jim hesitated for a moment, then waved to one of his younger brothers.

"You go to the back of the convoy and ask Darlene. She should be able to determine what happened. By the way, don't tell Miss Demi about it."

"Ok."

The younger cavalry nodded, turned the horse's head, and ran to the rear of the convoy.
