Chapter 5
Chapter 5 set off
Seven days are fleeting. In the past few days, Henry made a total of six bottles of healing potions for minor injuries, two bottles of hypnosis potions, two bottles of blessing potions, and Cagan carried half of them. He also copied four first-level spell scrolls: Greasy, Burning Hand, Magic Missile, and Imaging. The divine art scroll prepared two armors of faith, one stone power, two sanctuary spells, and two entanglement spells.
In the past few days, I bought the materials for the summoning demon chong at the temple of Oma, the **** of knowledge, and performed the ritual of summoning the demon chong. After the ceremony, he obtained a pickle called Louise. This is a small humanoid life, about the size of an adult’s palm. It has a pair of wings and can fly quickly. Use the Mu language to talk, and is proficient in unlocking and reconnaissance. Because of its small size, it is a good helper in some delicate magic experiments. But Henry felt that the reason why he summoned Louis was because of another professional druid.
“The last check, everything is complete. The crossbow is wound up. Let’s go!” Kegan stood up after seeing Henry’s backpack and weapons without any problems. Henry followed him out of the room. The week of rest has finally passed. “Good luck to you” the old dwarf on the first floor saw the two shouting loudly.
“Thank you, I will see your old guy next time I pass by here”. Kegan waved his hand without looking back. “Thank you, Mr. Bentley, and I wish you a prosperous business.” Henry turned his head and bowed slightly. In Henry’s opinion, politeness is a good disguise that can make others less vigilant. After all, he is not the rookie boy who is only 14 years old.
Leaving the gate of Friendly Arm, the two of them headed north. Henry hung the crossbow around his waist, and the strap of the crossbow was tied behind him. The spear is easily held and used as a crutch with the tip upwards. Several bottles of potion are stuck on the belt for easy access at any time. Kaigan wears a horned helmet and axe on his waist, a sturdy wood covering his left shoulder and a luggage bag on his right shoulder. He didn’t use a shield originally, this shield was specially prepared for this mission. Diggers can be sprayed with acid. The iron shield has poor anti-corrosion ability, so the dwarf specially customized one in the Friendly Arm.
When it was almost noon, the two decided to sit down and rest for a while. “At our current rate, we will be able to eat in the Digger Village tomorrow afternoon. It is now when the Digger is in heat in the spring, and they are now very aggressive. Be careful when you are on the road. Once you get caught by a huge mouthpart If you live, you will definitely die.” Cagan quickly told Henry about the danger of the mission during the rest. He could be frightened by the injury the other day.
“I know Kagan, I have experienced two battles, and I am no longer the rookie in the battle.” Henry nodded helplessly. The old dwarf also felt that Henry had matured much since his injury. Especially the battle with hobgoblins. The spells are very appropriate. Although most dwarves don’t like magic, unless it is enchanted to weapons and armor. Henry made 2 gallons of water at noon] Put the dried meat and mushrooms from the woods in a pot and simmered briefly. After eating some dry bread, the two continued on the road.
The two arrived at the outskirts of the village at about two o’clock in the afternoon the next day. Henry could already see the distant house and the smoke from a distance. “We’re almost there, and we must be careful from now on. Anytime there will be a digger coming out of the soil and giving you a sudden attack.” Kegan said, took the shield from behind and held it firmly with his left hand and then took the axe from Pulled out from the belt.
Seeing that the dwarf warrior was ready to fight, Henry quickly took the crossbow off his waist and put in a crossbow arrow. The spear is also clenched and no longer used as a crutch. Piccolo Louise was also sent to the front for reconnaissance due to her small flying agility. After a while, he flew back to report to Henry the situation ahead.
“Kagan, we are in trouble. Louise told me that the dirt road ahead was turned up in a mess. I think there should be two diggers.”
“Two? Damn that’s not good news. We only have two people at a time, it’s better to deal with more than one, but it’s a bit dangerous.” Kegan touched his beard and began to think of a solution.
“I think you can set up a trap and prepare a greasy technique first. Then you can attract two bugs and cast an entanglement technique. Their shells are so smooth that they fall down and are entangled in grass and vines. It’s hard to stand up. This way we can kill them one by one. What do you think.” Henry thought about it and wanted to make a suggestion.
“A good method can be tried.” The dwarf warrior itself is not a brainy person, and immediately agrees with it.
Now that the plan was okay, the two began to implement it. The dwarf warrior unloaded unnecessary loads and began to run forward. The Jedi basically had no eyesight. Confirm the position of the enemy mainly by feeling the vibration of the ground. It didn’t take long for Kagan to run back. As he ran, he yelled “Henry! They came right behind me.” Then I saw two three-meter-long green insects chasing behind them, waving their huge mouthparts.
“Greasy Technique” has been preparing for a long time the spell was cast out and accurately skipped the dwarf running in front, and a large swath of magic grease appeared behind it. The two insects slipped and struggled and couldn’t get up. After casting the spell, Henry threw the short spear in his hand directly, poking one of the fragile jaws. The big bug that was hit screamed and began to struggle desperately. Seeing the target hit, he immediately started to focus on casting the spell, and after a few seconds, he was ready to finish. In the “Entangling Technique”, countless grasses grew on the ground and pulled two insects to the ground. One of the short spears collided with the ground and was inserted into the brain to die in an instant while struggling. Cagan, who had originally protected Henry from casting spells, saw that there was only one left, and threw the axe in his hand directly into his abdomen, splashing green juice everywhere. The two hurried to hide away.
The effect disappeared in a short time, and the life of the insect that was broken by the opening also came to an end. Kegan stepped on his short legs and slowly approached the corpse with the shield. He walked to the front and touched the two insects with the shield and found that there was nothing moving, and he was relieved. Picking up his own axe and slamming the disgusting green slime, he shouted at Henry, “It’s all dead, come over safely and take care of our shells. As long as the head and the hardest pieces in the north, everything else is useful.”
Henry saw that there was no danger and walked over and pulled the spear from his chin and nudged it under his boots. Began to observe the bugs. The front of the huge head is the mouth, and the external mouthparts on it are like pliers. Once the dense serrations are caught, you will definitely feel that life is better than death. There is no hard armor on most of the abdomen. The hardest part of the body is the head and the carapace near here.
After observing, he took out the dagger and started to clean it up with Kegan, cutting off the belly part and lower body directly, and then dug out all the internal organs and belly of the upper body. Only the hardest shells of the skull and back are kept. Then two gallons of water were made to clean the shell and tie it up with rope. The shell of the digger is not sinking but the defense is not lower than the steel armor. It can be said that it is a good material that is light and hard and has a certain resistance to acid.
Cagan put the processed shell on his body and immediately felt better. “Haha, 1000 gold coins are in hand. Bless Moradin, this is a good sign. If we have enough trophies back, we will hire a carriage. You. The performance just now was great, although I don’t know any spells. But it feels like Ilminster possessed.” The dwarf obviously started to be over-excited and flattered one by one.
“Kagan, I don’t think we can kill too many bugs. This village relies on digging bugs to keep the land fertile, and food can be productive. We can’t destroy the balance of nature” Henry shook his head helplessly. The dwarf said it was obviously impossible. As a druid, if he really drove out these bugs, he would lose his profession as a druid.
“Damn, if you don’t say that I have forgotten that you are a child of nature. Forget it, let’s go to the village to rest for a night, and ask how many druids in charge here can kill. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com” Kay Gen was very frustrated when he heard that he couldn’t kill the insects.
It didn’t take long for the two to come to the village, and after a brief inquiry, they came to Brown’s farm and planned to spend the night here. Because the whole village is Brown’s farm and the largest house. When he came to Brown’s house, Henry saw a farmer of about fifty years old working in the field on the ground. Henry hurried forward to say hello.
“Hello, is it Mr. Brown? We are adventurers who came here to hunt and kill the digger. I want to stay with you for one night. We will pay for the accommodation and dinner.”
“Yes, I’m Brown. It’s okay to stay overnight. My house is big and there are enough rooms. 1 silver coin per person includes dinner.” Brown agreed immediately when he saw that there was money to be made. Dinner is bread mashed potatoes and a pot of stewed chicken is very hearty. After eating, the three people sat by the fireplace and chatted.
“I have a son who is as old as you. A few days ago, he followed his mother to sell agricultural products in the city. In recent years, the number of diggers has become particularly high, so the road is very dangerous.”
“Aren’t there always druids controlling their numbers here?” Henry was a little puzzled when he heard the news.
“A druid named Zetty is here, but one person’s power is limited after all. Diggers are not something ordinary adventurers can handle. Especially in the past few years, many adventurers died. In the hands of bugs, no one has dared to come in the last two years.” Brown explained.
“Where does that druid live? We want to find out about the number of diggers here.”
“Just not far northwest of the farm, she built a tree house there.”
