After dealing with the lion and scorpion, Chen Rui left the land of poison with his newly recruited younger brother Lucio.
The lion and scorpion eggs are in hand. Lucio's original plan was to skip the mercenary union and go directly to the line of Priest Mana. However, even if he can get on Mana, people with "unknown origin" like Chen Rui still need a mercenary Badges and other proof of identity, otherwise subsequent plans will also encounter trouble.
Chen Rui's idea was to get the badge first. Priest Mana offered only one scorpion egg as a bounty, but this time he got three, which can completely complete the black crystal mission and reactivate Lucio's team authority. Although this would cause a certain sensation, with his current strength, he didn't care about it at all, as long as it could save time and not affect the implementation of the plan.
The two of them are also a little hungry now, and Chen Rui gave it to Lucio from the storage space. Although Lucio was curious about the fresh and delicious food that appeared out of thin air, he didn't dare to ask more. The two walked while eating, about three hours later, when going downhill, Chen Rui suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Lucio stopped quickly, and Chen Rui looked at the hill on the left: "There is someone's voice over there, it seems to be calling for help."
"Master, uh...captain," Lucio changed his title in time, and looked in the direction of the hill: "That is the territory of the Iron Grenadier Bee, and the Queen Bee Crystal of the Iron Grenadier Bee is not only a delicious thing, but also can be eaten quickly. Recovering magic power is very valuable. However, the iron grenade bee is a social monster, extremely aggressive, and its toxicity is particularly special. It will not kill people immediately, but the pain it produces is very terrifying. People who are attacked by the iron grenade bee often do not Will be poisoned to death, but will be pained to death."
Speaking of this, Lucio couldn't help shivering, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "The union has a long-term task of collecting honey, which is a free task and can be delivered directly. This task is Amethyst Level 3, but it has been Being monopolized by the Holy Feather Mercenary Corps, will it... "
Chen Rui's eyes flashed: "Go, go and have a look."
Lucio took Chen Rui to a forest under the hill on the left, and saw two people lying on the ground from a distance, howling in pain, mixed with the voice of "help" indistinctly. In front of the woods, a small cloud-like swarm of bees was slowly receding.
Chen Rui and Lucio approached, and saw that the two men on the ground were covered with protective gauze, but the gauze could not completely resist the crazy attack of the iron grenade bee, and they could clearly see the The skin and the whole body are covered with red and swollen bumps the size of jujube pits, which is very frightening.
The bee venom was extremely violent, and the two wailed terribly, unable to move their whole bodies, but their muscles were twitching automatically. Judging from the distorted expressions, it seemed that they were enduring extremely severe pain.
"Captain, be careful! The bee venom of the iron grenade bee is contagious, and it must be dissolved with asparagus and fennel." Lucio reminded: "Let me come, I still have a little asparagus here, but there is no Fennel Vitex should be able to relieve the attack time."
In fact, Chen Rui was not afraid of any toxins at all. Seeing Lucio's initiative, he nodded, threw him a pair of leather gloves, and added: "With these gloves, your hands are basically immune to all toxins." , By the way, it also has the property of increasing attack speed by 35%."
Lucio looked in surprise at this pair of brown gloves that also faintly shone with crystal light. Although he didn't know what grade it was, judging from the delicate seamless material and almost perfect weaving skills, it was absolutely extraordinary.
After putting on the glove, the glove automatically shrinks to the most suitable size, and the touch feels like its own skin, without any feeling of stagnation.
The most surprising thing is Chen Rui's words, immune to "all" toxins? And it can increase attack speed by 35%!
What kind of equipment is this...
"Thank you Captain, I'll return it to you later." Lucio understood the value of these gloves, and held them up carefully, lest they be stained.
Lucio's appearance made Chen Rui a little funny: "You don't need to return it, it's just a quasi-legendary armor. From now on, it's yours."
Quasi-legendary! Moreover, it belongs to oneself! Lucio's eyes widened, and then he showed ecstasy: "Thank you, Captain!"
The main material of this pair of gloves is Jacob's scales, and Chen Rui still has a lot of them. Moreover, a mere pair of quasi-legendary gloves is really nothing to Boss Chen and Master Chen whose family property and potential assets are beyond estimation. However, for the hard-working spearmen who have been in the lower ranks all year round, they can't even afford the equipment of excellence level, let alone quasi-legendary level equipment.
Lucio squatted down, lifted the gauze with his gloves, and searched the two men. The two men were affected by bee venom and could not move. They could only scream, even what Chen Rui and Lucio said just now Can't even hear clearly, let alone struggling.
"It turns out that the asparagus on these two people is used up, only the fennel vetch, this collection must have alarmed the queen bee, that's why it made such a mess, eh... what is this?" Lucio slid from the waist of a man He found a crystal bottle in his pocket, opened it and smelled it, and showed surprise: "The queen bee crystal of the iron grenade bee! It seems that the weight of this half month is here, although it is a little less, but take an amethyst The first-level rating should be fine, we can just use it to complete the task of activating the freeze!"
Someone gave me a pillow when I really wanted to sleep, Chen Rui was refreshed, luckily, but E's hard-working spearman really changed his luck? Could it be because of the influence of the protagonist's halo
"These two have been of great help, let's save them."
Lucio hastily took out the asparagus as promised, mixed it with the fennel vetch on the two men and ground it, and fed them to eat. The formula of the detoxifying herb really worked, and the convulsions on the two men gradually subsided, obviously the pain was disappearing. fade.
"Hey, I saved the lives of both of you. In return, the queen bee crystal will be mine!" Lucio threw the crystal bottle in his hand and stood up.
"Wait a minute..." A man who barely regained his sanity spoke, his voice was very weak: "You can't take the Queen Bee Crystal away, we are members of the Holy Feather Mercenary Corps!"
In the past, Lucio would definitely be afraid, and would even choose extreme murder to silence his mouth, but now behind him is a "holy-level powerhouse", so naturally he will not be afraid of the Holy Feather Mercenary Group, and said disdainfully: "Holy Feather What about the mercenary group? Don’t forget, if I hadn’t saved you, you would have died long ago! And I can still get the queen bee crystal!”
After finishing speaking, Lucio ignored the two of them, stood up, turned around and left. The two were affected by the residual poison and were still unable to move within a short period of time, so they could only watch Lucio and Chen Rui walk away.
"Damn bastard! You actually took advantage of the fire to rob, and now the queen bee crystal is robbed, and a month's hard work has been wasted. The team leader will definitely punish us. Josh, what should we do?"
"When I was being chased by the swarm, I had sent out a magic message for help, and the people in the regiment would arrive within a few hours at the earliest." Josh said through gritted teeth, "Besides, I seem to recognize this person, that person What kind of trash is called a sharp gun? How dare you reach out to our Holy Feather mercenary group! When our poison is completely relieved, we must not let him go!"
Lucio and Chen Rui did not stop along the way. After returning to the town, they immediately came to the mercenary union.
"Royal bee crystal?" Sandy looked at the crystal bottle that Lucio handed over, carefully confirmed and confirmed, and finally showed surprise: "It's really the queen bee crystal of the iron grenade bee!"
"Miss Sandy. This is a free mission, and it is not limited to the target. Although the amount of these queen bee crystals is not enough, they should have a first-level evaluation of amethyst, right? Can you unfreeze my mercenary team?"
The professional code made Sandi not ask how these queen bee crystals were obtained, she nodded: "That's right, this kind of purity and weight can give Amethyst a second-level evaluation. According to the regulations of the trade union, the Shotgun team thawed and returned to normal. Permission. Here is the reward of ten black crystal coins, please accept."
Lucio took the money bag, put it in his arms under Chen Rui's signal, and said: "Then, my team member should be able to become an official mercenary."
"Of course." Sandy took out Chen Rui's previous registration form, "Li Cha, you sign your name here, and press a handprint, this handprint will be branded on your mercenary badge."
Chen Rui followed suit one by one, and soon, "Li Cha" became an official mercenary, which was equivalent to possessing a legal identity that could travel in various countries.
The mercenaries who witnessed this scene began to whisper: "Strange, where did this bad gun get the iron grenade queen bee?"
"That trash went out just now, what happened?"
"No, isn't it always Sheng Yu's people who have monopolized this task?"
"Could it be that Lucio snatched it from Sheng Yu's people? Did he want to die? Dare to grab food from Da Xiwen's bowl?"
"Impossible, even before he didn't have this ability, let alone now."
"..."
After Lucio led Chen Rui away from the mercenary union, he immediately went to the Bright Church in the town and found Pastor Mana.
Although Pastor Mana is just a small boss, he is not so easy to see. Lucio claimed that he had to meet with Pastor Mana for important matters, and paid ten black crystal coins before meeting him in the prayer room. To the meditating priest.
However, judging from the nuns who hurriedly left at the door just now, it seems that the pastor's "meditation" found another way to find an assistant to help.
Pastor Mana is a short, fat, middle-aged man with big ears, a bald head, triangular eyes, and a mustache. At first glance, he looks like a villain. I really don't know how he got into the "Bright" church.
There was a hint of sharpness in the eyes of the fat priest, as if he was annoyed because something good was interrupted: "I know you, Lucio, son of Tenival, for the sake of that old friend who passed away, I stopped on purpose. The most important thing is to meet you in meditation. If your so-called "secret matter" does not satisfy me, even if you are the only blood left by Tenival, I will give you a severe punishment in accordance with the fair and just church law! "
Lucio glanced at Chen Rui, showing strong confidence: "Please rest assured, my answer will definitely satisfy the adults, and still, very satisfied."
