Versatile Mage: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 47 Mountain Men Attacking at Night

In the evening, Su Zhe slept in the guest room after dinner. He touched the dirt wall next to him that was still peeling off debris. Su Zhe sighed and went into the mountains to look for mushrooms tomorrow.

Shan Xiong told him how to find Qinglu Mushrooms. If you go into the mountains early in the morning, Qinglu Mushrooms will emit a dense white mist. It is easier to find at that time and has the best quality.

In the middle of the night, Su Zhe stood up and listened to some movement on the other side of the wall.

"Captain, why do we get up so early?"

"Shhh, keep your voice down so that no one can hear you. I'll talk to you on the way."

Su Zhe squinted his eyes. The darkness of the night could not block his sight. He could clearly see the watch hanging on the wall. It was only three o'clock.

The sound sounded a bit like another group of hunters I saw when I entered the village.

It seems that many hunter groups are temporarily stationed in this village, preparing to enter Shennongjia.

Su Zhe gently opened the door and walked out of the old woman's house.

"Su Zhe, where are you going?"

The old woman's voice came faintly, and Su Zhe stopped in his tracks, "Did I disturb you? Grandma, I'm going to go hunting in the mountains. The early bird catches the worm."

The mother-in-law sighed, "Okay, okay, you don't bother me. I'm older and don't sleep enough. Go ahead. You young people are very busy, so you must pay attention to your safety."

The big yellow dog stood beside the old woman lazily, wagging its tail and barking twice.

"Woof woof woof (the early worm is eaten by the bird)"

Su Zhe thanked the old lady repeatedly for staying the night before leaving.

After Su Zhe left, the big yellow dog's eyes flashed with light, and he went to sleep in the corner of the yard again.

The old woman scolded, "Dahuang, please come inside, it's too cold outside."

The big yellow dog stood up helplessly and followed her into the house. After the old woman lay down to sleep again, she rushed out of the room.

Under the moonlight, Su Zhe watched several hunter groups all move out, feeling annoyed. These hunter groups that have been here for a long time must know the good time to collect Qinglu mushrooms, and he should act quickly.

From time to time, two unknown animal sounds came from the forest. Da Zhuang touched his arm and felt the hairs standing on end.

"Captain, it's really weird in this forest."

The hunter captain glanced at Da Zhuang helplessly and said, "You are so strong, but you are so timid. Danger comes with opportunity. Only when you are dangerous enough can you make enough money."

A gorgeous woman in the team murmured, "Dazhuang, don't worry. Although this place is a bit dangerous, you can make enough money."

Seeing that even a woman said this, Da Zhuang was embarrassed to mention dangerous words again. He scratched his head and continued to follow the team.

The captain looked at the pitch-black night and secretly cursed himself for being dazzled by the unlimited mission and entering the mountain so early. He hoped he would not encounter danger.

In the dark mountain forest, majestic claws like bears opened the gaps between the leaves, and eyes with cold light looked greedily at the group of hunters below.

He licked his lips unconsciously. The gap between the jungle was covered by this unknown figure again.

Da Zhuang looked around the team suspiciously and was suddenly startled, "Eh? Where did the thin monkey go?"

The hunter captain stared straight ahead and explained: "I asked Skinny Monkey to go ahead to investigate the situation. I don't know why he hasn't come back for so long."

The captain muttered dissatisfiedly, feeling a little muddy under his feet, "It's a little damp in the forest."

"Why do you still feel so soft? You won't step on bugs, right?"

The captain moved his feet in disgust and took out a spotlight flashlight to shine down.

His face turned pale in an instant, and the colorful intestines were at his feet. The moisture he felt just now was soft soil soaked in blood.

"Everyone, be careful!"

The hunters in the team immediately formed a circle and looked around carefully. “What’s wrong, Captain?”

"Someone around us was killed, and it was only for a short time."

Da Zhuang swallowed, feeling a little uneasy.

In the strangely quiet mountain forest, there were suddenly several strange laughters.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Terrifying laughter echoed in the mountain forest, and several black shadows moved among the big trees.

The captain clenched his fists, "Everyone, be careful, we may encounter a mountain man. If we are really unable to resist... just commit suicide."

The cruel nature of the mountain people is definitely what hunters who come to Shennongjia don't want to encounter. If they fall into their hands, it is impossible not to be tortured to death.

The torn out intestines at the feet are the best proof that the murdered person was probably tortured to death by the mountain men.

The Mountain Man is relatively strong among the warrior-level warriors. Without the intermediate levels of the two series, it is simply difficult to deal with a Mountain Man.

Fortunately, this hunter team is relatively strong, and the dozen or so people in the group are all veterans who can skillfully use intermediate magic.

Su Zhe was hiding in the mountain forest. He had been following this group of hunters just now, and he could clearly feel that more mountain people were rushing here.

The role of music magic was clearly revealed at this moment. With the detection function of music magic, Su Zhe didn't have to worry about being attacked by demons at all.

Glancing at the frightened hunter group, Su Zhe sighed, "We still can't just watch people die."

Su Zhe ran out of the hiding place and said, "Everyone, hurry up, there are a large number of mountain people rushing here."

The hunter captain looked at Su Zhe who suddenly came out in surprise, "Who are you?"

Su Zhe came to the captain, raised his hand and released his purple stardust, "I am a sound mage. I can feel that a large number of mountain people are rushing here. Please retreat quickly."

The captain looked at the stardust in Su Zhe's hand and immediately gave the decisive order. Only by listening to others' advice can you have a full meal, "Everyone, follow this little brother quickly!"

Su Zhe led everyone towards Zhonglie Village. Fortunately, the distance was not too far. It only took ten minutes to see the archway at the entrance of the village. The few mountain men behind him looked at the large group of hunters with fear. He could only leave in frustration without waiting for his companions.

Su Zhe felt a few mountain people leave behind him and touched his chin thoughtfully. Zhonglie Village was full of ordinary people, so why didn't these mountain people dare to follow them?

He didn't pay attention when he came in the morning, but now Su Zhe discovered that the three large characters on the plaque on the archway of Zhonglie Village were emitting shining golden light.

Everywhere among the dilapidated mud houses in the village looked dirty. Only the Glorious House plaque in front of each house looked as new as if it had just been made. At this moment, it also exuded a gentle yellow light, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

The hunter captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said gratefully to Su Zhe, "Thank you so much this time, little brother, I almost fell into the hands of the mountain man because of my urgent mission."

Although the captain did not see how many mountain men there were, he understood the meaning of the strange laughter of the mountain men. It was a kind of laughter that was intimidating and calling for companions.

Suzhou waved his hand indifferently, "Brother, you're welcome. Of course we should help each other when we go out."

There were still mountain men wandering around, so Su Zhe naturally did not dare to go out alone to look for the Qinglu Mushroom.

Suzhou rushed to the old woman's house helplessly, only to see a big yellow dog lying at the gate.

"Hey, Dahuang, are you here to wait for me?"

The big yellow dog curled his lips in disdain, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and then wandered back.

Su Zhe looked at Dahuang Dog and suddenly said: "Dahuang, those mountain people don't dare to enter the village, is it because of you?"

The big yellow dog paused, ignored what Su Zhe said, and walked straight into the house.

Su Zhe smiled knowingly, "He is a good dog."
