Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 20
This two-pronged approach, the effect of medicine is very effective.

Mr Hunter drank the medicine and soon his stomach was rumbling.

"I'm sorry, classmate Alan, I'll excuse you first."

With the support of his wife, Mr. Hunter rushed into the toilet in a hurry...

10 minute later.

The couple are back.

Mr. Hunter's expression changed drastically.

The blood returned to his face, and the brows were filled with joy.

The couple thanked Allen repeatedly.

Praise him as worthy of being Ms. Sola's proud disciple, who has rejuvenated his hands and cured his illness with the medicine.

Allen pretended to be embarrassed.

"Uncle and aunt, in fact, the poison of the basilisk...has not been completely removed."

Robin's family of three, when they heard this, their smiles froze on their faces.

"Uncle's body is fine for the time being."

"However, if you want to completely remove the toxins in your body..."

"We must try to hunt down the basilisk, take its flesh and blood, fuse it with my potion, and take it together to completely detoxify."

The Robin family had no objection to what Allen said.

It sounds reasonable to untie the bell and tie the bell.

However, this is not the truth.

In fact, Allen had already used the Taotie system to secretly check Mr. Hunter's physical condition just now.

No toxic reactions were detected.

This shows that he has fully recovered after taking the medicine.

Need to use the flesh and blood of the basilisk, cooperate with taking medicine and so on...

It's just a nonsense made up by Allen.

The reason for saying this is that Allen himself is eager to hunt the basilisk and obtain level 3 toxins and special ingredients from it.

But on his own, he wasn't sure he could take down the basilisk.

At such times, if there is an experienced hunter and guide by your side, things will be easy to handle.

That's why he made up such a set of words to drive Mr. Hunter to help him hunt the basilisk, and he didn't dare to eat the prey by himself afterwards.

In fact, Mr. Hunter's character is well-known.

He has also been friends with Allen's own father for many years.

In addition, he had just detoxified Mr. Hunter, which earned the gratitude of the whole family.

Theoretically speaking, Mr. Hunter would agree to help hunt the basilisk without any scheming.

but……

Perhaps it was because he had played too many times as an ogre in the ancestral meditation, and his own personality was unknowingly affected.

I can't help but speculate on people's hearts from the most sinister angle.

People's hearts are separated by belly, so we must guard against it.

In any case, the strategy chosen by Allen is the safest and will not cause substantial harm to the Hunter family.

This is enough.

Mr. Hunter flexed his limbs.

I feel that my physical fitness has recovered [-]%.

Rest for another two days, prepare well, it's not a big problem!

So he readily said to Allen:
"The day after tomorrow is Sunday. If your parents don't object, I'll take you and Robin for a walk into the mountains."

"See if there is a chance to seek revenge on that damn snake!"

In fact, even if Alan didn't bring it up, Mr. Hunter has been holding back his anger these days, and has been planning to seek revenge from the basilisk.

"Dad! You haven't fully recovered yet, so don't go up the mountain the day after tomorrow. I can be Alan's guide and help him deal with the basilisk."

Robin couldn't help but interjected.

In fact, apart from caring about his father, he also wanted to take this opportunity to show off his wild hunting skills in front of his friends.

If dad is by his side, disciplining and restraining him everywhere, how can it be his turn to show his talents?
Robin's proposal, of course, was flatly rejected by Dad.

The kid looked at Allen pitifully.

I hope my buddies can help me say a word.

But all he got was a blank stare.

Of course Allen would not adopt Robin's proposal.

The bear kid doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and he doesn't have any compulsions in his heart.

You really think of yourself as the hero of an adventure novel, right? !
……

Sunday morning.

From the snow-covered foothills, dogs barked from time to time.

"Old Pete! Leave the three horses in your care, and we'll be back before the sun goes down!"

Said Mr. Hunter in a hunting suit to the ranger.

"Okay, master, the ancestral spirits bless you for safe hunting."

The forester took the reins and led the horse away.

Allen also jumped off the back of the black horse that Mr. Hunter lent him, rubbed his hands, looked at the snow-covered pine forest, and exhaled a white breath.

From here, the mountain road gradually becomes rugged and densely covered with vegetation. Horses cannot pass, and they can only climb over the mountains with two legs.

Besides himself and Robin, Mr. Hunter had a large pack of hounds, and a well-trained falcon.

A falcon hovers in the sky, searching for prey.

Robin is wearing leather armor and carrying a short bow.

A dagger was stuck in his belt.

He also carried a travel bag, which contained various camping equipment.

The plan is to go there on the same day and return on the same day.

However, the climate on the mountain is changeable, so it is necessary to prepare for camping in the wild in advance.

Allen is also a hunter outfit.

In return for providing the antidote, Mr. Hunter gave him a set of hunting gear, including a crossbow, leather armor and a camping backpack.

Allen made three simple gas masks himself.

In the thick cotton gauze interlayer, in addition to the antidote, activated carbon prepared by Allen himself was added, which is specially used to defend against the poisonous gas emitted by the basilisk.

A party of three, plus a falcon and a large pack of hounds.

Snow climbing.

Ordinary mountains, the higher the colder.

However, this mountain is quite special.

Climbing to a higher place makes you warmer.

There is no snow above the mountainside.

In the middle of winter, the vegetation is still green.

This is because the crater on the top of the mountain has continuously released geothermal heat for thousands of years, forming a natural hot spring.

Hot spring stream, steaming.

There are many medicinal herbs growing nearby.

Allen went upstream along the bank of the stream.

Use the system to identify flowers and plants on the side of the road while walking.

When you find medicinal materials or ingredients, you can pick them easily to enrich the illustrated book.

Food and medicine have the same origin, and most medicinal materials are also food.

It's a pity that what you see on the way is just ordinary medicinal materials and ingredients.

No special ingredients were seen.

Two of the most valuable herbs are called "Eternal Flower" and "Snake Eye Fruit".

Sempervivum, looks like a white rose.

Extract the petals and leaves, squeeze the juice, and apply it on the wound, which can accelerate the hemostasis and healing of the wound.

It is said that the juice of the longevity flower can also cause harm to undead creatures.

It's a pity that there are no signs of undead activities around the town of Quint.

Allen is temporarily unable to verify whether this rumor is true.

Snake eye fruit, a fruit of the nightshade family similar to nightshade.

The thumb-sized fruit has a peel like a snake scale.

When ripe, the skin cracks open to reveal orange flesh that looks like a reptile's pupil, hence the name.

The potion made by combining the snake eye fruit with medicinal materials such as Ningshen flower has the effect of quickly recovering magic power.

Allen felt the need to collect more.

"Snake eye fruit, it's delicious!" Robin said cheerfully beside him.

"It can be eaten, but not directly."

Mr. Hunter hurriedly told the two teenagers.

"This fruit tastes sweet, but it is slightly toxic. Eating too much can cause stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting, and even life-threatening in severe cases."

"It must be soaked in concentrated salt water for an hour until the pulp turns from orange to white to remove the toxins."

"You're right." Allen nodded with a smile.

If the toxins are removed according to Mr. Hunter's method, the medicinal effect of snake eye fruit will also be destroyed.

Turning into an ordinary wild fruit is useless to him.
