Unknowingly, the team had been walking in the mountains for four days.
Three hundred kilometers of rugged mountain roads in a straight line, including the circuitous journey over mountains and ridges, it takes about five or six days to reach the Xiangfeng Pass in the "Alcoron Mountains". From there, you can overlook the real "Glorious Land". city".
On this day, there was a lot of fog in the mountains, and it became densely foggy before evening.
The members of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" all have rich experience in wilderness survival. They selected a camp and lit a bonfire. Then the simple steel plates on the Steam Spider mountain bike were removed and a luxury all-metal cabin was built for the Countess in the wild.
At night, fat cook Susan prepared a sumptuous dinner.
As Canossa's personal doctor, Renn is also the only person other than the maid Sandora who can enter the house.
Uncle Sam and the others were eating barbecued dogs and rabbits by the campfire outside, while Wren accompanied the countess to dine in the cabin.
The dinner was rich, including beef, fragrant mushroom soup, pheasant and fragrant charcoal-grilled dog and rabbit. Of course, top-quality wine was indispensable.
Along the way, he had gradually become accustomed to having dinner with this beautiful lady.
Although Renn thinks that the life of rich people is indeed luxurious, sometimes he also thinks that the countess can be quite boring.
Without her, no one would have dared to talk to her along the way.
The hired hunting team members were not qualified to talk to her, and Uncle Sam, who was obviously very easy-going, looked completely serious and wooden in front of her.
... .
"You're welcome to eat more. You've been practicing martial arts with Sam for a day. Eat more supplements so that your body won't be exhausted..."
Canossa was in a good mood today. She looked at Ren with a smile, and occasionally helped him pick up a big piece of meat enthusiastically.
These days, with such a young doctor accompanying me, the journey is finally not so boring.
"Thank you ma'am."
Ren was not polite and stuffed the fragrant barbecue into his mouth.
Indeed, as she said, whether it is fusion of potions or muscle growth, a large calorie surplus is required to avoid leaving hidden dangers to the body. And these energy-rich monster meats are the best source of nutrients.
I have to say that although Aunt Susan looks a little bit ugly, her cooking skills are really amazing.
While eating, Ren also asked casually: "Mrs. Vanessa, I heard that the 'Glory City' is very dangerous, why do you want to go there in person?"
In the past few days, he had also learned enough information about the "Free City" from the hired hunting team members.
That place is indeed a paradise for hunters. I heard that the price of potions there is only one-tenth of that in Oma.
Because that city is always on the front line of land reclamation, all kinds of potion materials are very cheap, and all kinds of goods are very cheap. Moreover, the city lord has expressly stipulated that the chamber of commerce is not allowed to monopolize profits from reselling magic potions. In that city, as long as they participate in the wilderness hunting mission issued by the city lord's mansion, almost everyone can advance to the extraordinary level!
Although it is dangerous to open up wasteland, as long as the hunters can survive in the "Glory City" for a few years and return their savings to their hometown in the empire, they will be able to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.
However, it is really dangerous there, and generally only desperate hunters, wanted criminals, and speculators will go there.
He really couldn't figure out why this pampered countess was going there if she couldn't just stay and enjoy herself in a big city.
Even if there is something to deal with, there is no need to go there in person.
"Because I also have a small chamber of commerce..."
Even if Canosha looks helpless, she still makes people feel charming and full of charm.
She said in a very casual tone: "No, I originally had some business dealings with the 'Glory City', but something went wrong recently and I had to deal with it myself."
"oh."
Renn raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and glanced at the label on the wine bottle next to the dining table. If he remembered correctly, in the "Weasel Phantom Thieves", the best Jerez was a luxury item among the looted goods. A bottle would cost more than 100,000 liso on the black market. Those alcoholic instructors would be happier after robbing a box than holding a box of coins.
Can an average small businessman make enough profit to cover the daily expenses of this great god
The cost of her trip was probably enough to send someone ten times.
However, Renn had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. After all, in his opinion, if she could become friends with a big guy like Ymir, the identity of this lady might not be that simple.
The two of them just chatted word by word.
But while she was eating, Canossa glanced out the window, as if she noticed something, and a strange color flashed across her expression.
... ..
The "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" is a very experienced guide, and the original route they chose was also a safe route that has been traveled many times.
But as the night progressed, an accident happened.
Suddenly, birds started to fly in the forest, and there were many strange sounds in the depths of the forest. It sounded like many monsters walking at night.
Not long after, a loud warning sounded outside the house. Bart, the leader of the "Mountain Antelope Group", arranged for hunters to stay on duty around the camp. They discovered movement in the forest and issued a warning.
"Captain, it's bad, something might have happened!"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know why, but the magical beasts on the east side of the Alcoron Mountains were alarmed. There were roars of high-level magical beasts in the distance! Moreover, I sensed that a group of magical beasts were approaching us..."
"Everyone is ready to fight!"
"..."
In the steel hut.
Renn heard clearly the exchanges between those outside the door and was shocked.
The road to the "Glory City" passes through a large area of primitive jungle and is not absolutely safe to begin with. In recent years, we have often heard of high-level monsters appearing, and the group has killed some unlucky hunting groups.
Now, they seem to be the legendary "unlucky ones".
When Ren heard the news, his first reaction was that his "bad luck halo" had struck again, and his face suddenly twitched. I also feel a little guilty for causing trouble to others.
Legend has it that this is a deep mountain forest that is more dangerous than the Bakkenya Highlands. He could only pray silently, hoping that no particularly troublesome monster would appear.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!
At this time, the old housekeeper who always wore a tuxedo when walking in the mountains knocked on the door, still with the same zombie-like expression.
His tone was very calm and he reported: "Madam, the monsters in the mountains are rioting. Captain Bart has told us to stay where we are and we may evacuate at any time."
Canosha waved her hand, as if she didn't care: "I know."
In this situation, Ren felt that it was inappropriate for a grown man to hide in the room anymore, so he stood up and said, "Madam, then I will go out and see if I can be of any help."
Canossa nodded, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Let's go, I'll go out and have a look too."
... ..
The situation is more serious than expected.
Not only the monsters that make "rustling" sounds in the dense forest, but also the insects hiding underground are also swarming out of the cave.
It felt like a flash flood was coming, and these little bugs sensed the danger in advance.
But... they are also highly aggressive!
"Captain, something is wrong! It stands to reason that the west side of the Alcoron Mountains is the real dangerous area. High-level monsters are also concentrated there. Why do you hear this movement and it seems that there are many big guys in the forest?"
"Yes, even if there is an earthquake, there will never be snakes and insects running around. Is there something going on in the mountains?"
"Captain, there are gunfire sounds about ten miles ahead of us! There are people fighting over there..."
"It should be that other hunting groups and the rioting demons are angry. Everyone should be careful..."
"..."
The members of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" all have rich hunting experience. They set up a large number of traps outside the camp, set up temporary fortresses with salutes, and set up large-caliber firearms and artillery.
Everyone prayed that the beast tide would not affect them, but it was a pity.
A pair of green eyes in the darkness still spotted them!
