Chapter 136: Argali

In the deserted living area, a crisp eagle call broke the peace. "Chirp..."

Kamuo looked at the sky, then looked at the masks of several people and twitched his lips. Why was he the one with the snake head mask? Theirs were all so beautiful? I saw Susie's pink bunny mask, Akali's cute fish head mask, Casca's handsome goat mask, Laura's red fox mask, black the Crying Princess mask, and white the ice crystal bear mask. .

Seeing that everyone was wearing masks, Laura pointed forward, "Let's set off and target the living area of ​​the argali tribe."

As there are fewer and fewer buildings in the living area, more and more green plants fill the eye sockets. Occasionally, a small animal pops out from the thick bushes. After walking like this for more than an hour, as the field of vision widens, a huge The lake appeared in front of several people's eyes. Looking at the lake and plains in front of them, Launa pointed in one direction.

"It's probably in that place, the argali sheep herding area."

"Oh, this is the 'Otchiga Lake' in Autumn Forest. It seems that the water sources of the entire Autumn City are connected from here." Susie said calmly, looking at the endless lake in front of her.

"You are right, there are some friendly races living here, and the argali tribe is one of them."

As a few people walked into the plain, some of the races living here fled far away after seeing this. Seeing this situation, Ka Miao frowned, "They seem to be very hostile to outsiders."

"I saw an argali. He was about to run. Akali caught him." At this time, Casca was observing the surroundings with a rifle. When he saw an argali, he pointed in that direction and pointed at Akali. Rei spoke.

As soon as Akali heard this, she chased after him like a breath of fresh air. Within a moment, she caught the fleeing argali and held him in place. Seeing that Akali had caught someone, a group of people hurriedly chased after him.

Some ethnic groups living here saw the argali being caught and surrounded them with hoes, sickles and other tools.

"Oh... gentlemen, please calm down. We are just a group of guests coming from afar. We just want to buy a few argali sheep from this gentleman and go on the road." When Kamius saw these foreigners gathered around him, he quickly stood up and explained, casually Signaling Akali to let go of the poor argali.

This is a middle-aged argali man wearing a woolen blanket, staring at two huge curved horns on his head. He looked at the masked Camus people with frightened expressions, and heard that they just wanted to buy. The Queen of Sheep also relaxed. Because the tree demons in the Autumn Forest have been killing adventurers who entered the Autumn Forest in recent years, the adventurers are no longer willing to take risks in the Autumn Forest. They have been providing argali for the adventurers. The life of the argali clan is extremely difficult, and they didn't expect that business would come today.

"Sir, if you just want to buy argali, I can sell it to you. My name is Filio Tikru. How many do you want?"

Kamiao saw that the people around him calmed down, and looked at the middle-aged argali and spoke calmly.

"Seven argali, and a suitable guide, we are going to the depths of the autumn forest."

Tiklu's expression changed when he heard that Camus and the others were going to the depths of the Autumn Forest. He also saw that they were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like nobles in the city out for a picnic, so he had to kindly remind them.

"Gentlemen, if you want to travel, I can take you to the lake. The autumn forest is too dangerous. The tree demons have gone crazy in recent years. They are hunting outsiders like you everywhere. If you can't go, it's better not to go. ”

Camus nodded, "Don't worry about it. Bring our sheep. If you can find another guide, just tell us how much it costs. I won't lose you a black coin."

Upon hearing this, Tiklu sighed, "Dear sir, no guide will enter the current autumn forest. It will simply lead to death. As for your sheep, I will fetch them for you right now. Just wait a moment."

Seeing Tikru disappear from sight, Camus turned to look at Susie, "Are you okay, our living map?"

Susie nodded, "There should be no problem with the general direction and route. What we are doing is not suitable for bringing an outsider with us. We will leave when he brings the argali."

Ten minutes later, Tikru led seven huge argali sheep over. They were half a person tall, and each of them was fat and strong. Their heads had a pair of long, curved brown ridges. horns, and a sheep saddle on his body.

After Tiklu brought the sheep over, he handed the rope to the Camus people, "Sir, here are seven argali sheep, each worth 3 gold coins. Although they are expensive, they are also good at climbing over the jungle. They don't need to eat them." Even if you run for three days and three nights, some low-level monsters can't do anything to them. Moreover, their gentle temperament makes them the best companions for the journey. In addition, the sheepskin bag above contains some insect-repelling herbs, which you will need when you rest at night. , In addition, there is a wool blanket on the sheep’s back. If you are sleepy, you can lie on the sheep’s back to rest.”

Camus took out 21 gold coins from the bag and handed it to Tikru, "Thank you for the sheep."

A group of people got on their sheep and rode the docile argali towards the autumn forest.

"Gentlemen, you must avoid the dark forest. If you encounter a place with a large number of black plants, you must also avoid it." Tiklu reminded loudly while looking at the backs of the Camus people.

Upon hearing this, Camus waved his hands behind him and chased after him on his argali. Indeed, as Tikru said, these argali are good at climbing over the jungle. His tall body avoided the stabbing wounds of the low shrubs, and some of them were not easy to reach. Large ditches and bumps can also be crossed easily.

"Susie, if we have these argali, we can reach our destination at noon tomorrow." Casca shouted excitedly while riding on the argali.

"Casca, have you never ridden a horse? Are you so excited?" Susie rolled her eyes at Casca riding a sheep.

"Well... I've ridden a horse before, but this is my first time riding a sheep. I think these guys are much more useful than horses." A group of people moved quickly through the woods, and the hooves of the argali brought up countless mud.

Abandoned living area

A huge black tree was standing quietly in place, and the road behind it was still emitting unpleasant white smoke. A foul smell filled the air, and some plants contaminated by the stench withered instantly. The tree demon's branches were full of black fruits, and black juice flowed from its trunk. The juice fell on the ground and corroded the earth. His purple-black eyes looked at the three corpses on the ground, and he opened his black mouth and cried out in grief.

"Child, my child, who killed them? Why didn't the blood curse react? It must be those humans. They are jealous of us, they killed us, and now they don't even let my child go."

"Roar..."

With a roar that resounded through the sky, the ground in the abandoned living area suddenly trembled, black vines tore the ground, and houses fell down with a crackling sound, bringing up dust all over the sky. These vines twitched randomly on the ground, and every twitch would leave a deep groove several tens of centimeters deep. With the tree demon as the center, he was pulled down more than one meter by these vines within a few dozen meters, and the flying gravel smashed the surrounding plants into pieces.

Ten minutes later, looking at the dust all over the sky, the tree demon rolled up the corpse on the ground and threw it into his mouth, biting it with big mouthfuls. Green blood leaked from his mouth onto his body, and made a "hissing" sound when it came into contact with the black juice. Thick white smoke covered the huge body of the tree demon.

"My child, I will have more and better children. I need women, high-quality women." The tree demon murmured while chewing the corpse.

After eating the corpse, the tree demon dragged its huge body into the autumn forest, leaving a charred road behind.
