Chapter 49: task in progress

After completing half of the task, Barrett and the group of "Dirty Novels" continued their journey in this foggy forest.

The barbarian adventurer was still walking at the forefront, looking around for traces of frost bugs. Strictly speaking, this is not really a difficult thing. Frost bugs naturally emit cold air, and there are obvious trails and hoarfrost wherever they pass, which is very easy to identify. And because its body is long and large, and the sound of friction with the ground when squirming is not small, you don't need to worry about missing it.

It's just that the foggy forest has a wide area, and each frost insect has its own range of activities, and there is almost no intersection with each other, so after you find the first one, if you want to find the second one, you need more. It's mostly a little bit of luck.

"People in the Griffin Kingdom often say - 'When you learn to walk, you're not far from running.'" Old Will's voice came from behind, accompanied by the sound of inhaling a pipe." Now that we're off to a good start, we shouldn't be far from completing the mission."

"If the task is completed too quickly, it will make people feel a little regretful." The half-elf followed Barret, "To be honest, I like this forest. Although it is not like 'Los Lorin' It’s so peaceful and beautiful, but it has a unique charm to it.”

Barrett understands half-elves very well. The forest is truly captivating, otherwise so many adventurers would not have ventured into it (and lost their lives) every year.

The Misty Forest is like the kind of woman with "fatal" (double meaning) attraction, countless magical materials and various harvests are its attractive **** on the surface, and the strange and strange environment It is the mystery between its legs.

You have no way of knowing what will emerge from the fog in the next second, whether it is the "gold coin" that dances and blows a kiss to you, or the "knife and fork" waiting for you to become a dinner party.

"She" is too wild. If you want to understand "her" deeply and try "her" sweetness, you must have strength, enough strength!

"The more dangerous things are, the more fascinating they are." Old Will said with his pipe in his mouth.

Even when Barrett walked in front, he could smell the cool mint and berry-sweet fumes mixed in the mist. Old Will smokes shredded tobacco that he has flavored himself, and according to the Master himself, dozens of ingredients are added to his shredded tobacco. Anyway, he didn't find anything yet, so he tried to distinguish the types of ingredients mixed in Old Will's cut tobacco through his keen senses.

Mint, chamomile, lavender, as well as bee flowers, roses, sage, cherries... and even a little wine should be sprinkled during the drying process. Barrett doesn't smoke, so he can't tell whether the cut tobacco is good or bad, but with the variety of ingredients alone, the price of such cut tobacco will not be too low.

Coupled with the fact that Old Wilna smokes more frequently than drinking water, it seems that even a 'poor' level mage's daily expenses are quite astonishing.

Barrett rubbed his nose, quite satisfied with his perception. He touched the bust in the lining of his leather armor with his left hand, and according to the strange words, it gave him 2 points of perception.

If the power of observation can also be quantified, the barbarian adventurer does not know how much his original perception is, and he does not know whether the increase of 2 points is more or less. But he found through his usual activities such as finding traces and observing the surrounding environment, that the improvement of these two points is actually quite obvious compared to before.

If the statue was a special magic accessory, such a change would not be unusual, but it wasn't. This could not help but give Barrett a deeper understanding of the role of those strange words.

Those words can identify the origin of objects, and even dig out their unique functions, which is really strange. Of course, what's even more peculiar is why they appeared in front of his eyes? Has anyone else had the same experience as him?

Barrett was bewildered.

After the first frost worm was sent away, those strange words actually jumped out uncontrollably once again, but the content displayed that time was not too much, only a short sentence.

【Mission Log】

[Silent Guide: The Adventure Team of "Dirty Fiction" needs you to go to the misty forest with them and help them capture 2 adult frost worms alive. Adult Frostworms Caught Alive: 1/2]

1/2, this is easy to understand, catching another frost worm can complete this task called 'Silent Wizard'. Barrett didn't know why this mission had such a weird name. He was obviously not silent along the way. Although he didn't speak as much as Old Will, he was still able to talk freely.

It seems that the content of those strange words is not always correct, he slandered in his heart.

The team was still moving forward. Barrett looked at the dense sky. The battle of the first frost worm ended earlier than expected, so there was still a short time before night. They could continue their journey while looking for a place to camp. .

On a fir tree not far away, a group of gray-black ants with big fists was crawling up and down; in the bushes on the right hand side lay a venomous lizard, if you didn't provoke it, This dangerous little guy doesn't take the initiative to attack people; in the branches and leaves diagonally above, stand two blue-green parrot-like birds...

Barrett carefully examines the surrounding environment. The world in the mist is more colorful. He needs to distinguish what can be ignored and what needs to be reminded of his companions.

Suddenly, the barbarian stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to stop. He stood there, squinting and looking at the distance in the mist, "Looks like we have to take a detour." He said to old Will behind him.

"What's the matter?" The mage stepped forward, a little confused in his tone, "I didn't find anything around except for the fir trees that are more common than goblins and the toad-like boulder! Could it be that the boulder has what is the problem?"

Barrett followed Old Will's gaze, "No, it's just an ordinary stone, Master Mage." He had already discovered it, but he didn't care. After Old Will said, he really felt that the shape of the stone was quite like a huge stone toad squatting on the ground.

"Even if it does look like a toad, that doesn't give it any power," Barrett said to old Will. "As for the reason for the detour, we'll walk a little further and you'll find out."

He forgot that Old Will and others didn't have as good a vision as him, and he couldn't see the scene in the fog at this distance. But the dwarf should be able to see it.

Barrett looked up at the little man sitting on the shoulder of the ogre, and found that the latter was still playing with a dagger, his face was expressionless, and he could not see any clues.

The barbarian retracted his gaze and led the crowd forward. After a distance of about 20 meters, everyone saw the thing that made Barrett want to detour.
