Home of the Brave

"Caught it!"

Dai Yang jumped up cheering, shook off the camouflage grass branches on his body, and carefully filled the prey in the net bag into the prepared glass bottle. The little fairy who was confined in the glass bottle showed a frightened appearance, reaching out his hand and banging on the thick bottle wall, but it was only in vain.

"Hmph,'Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and everything is a dog'... This is also to make up for the deficit. Don't blame me!"

Dai Yang took the glass bottle in front of him, looked at the little fairy in the bottle, and blew his whistle triumphantly.

According to the original plan, after handling the affairs of the temple, he should immediately return to Lanlos Town. However, due to the troubles caused by the previous riots on Temple Street, he has to stay in the Temple of Stormwind nowadays. This morning, Xia Luwei asked Miranda to taste the honey she bought when she was shopping yesterday, which aroused the interest of the maiden, and she took the female knight to go shopping early in the morning.

As for Dai Yang, who was left behind, thinking that he would be bored anyway, so he thought of picking herbs in Changchun Forest for money.

The Changchun Forest is the courtyard of Albers, and the Temple of Stormwind has designated it as a forbidden area. Also out of awe of the **** of storm, almost no one dares to set foot in this sacred place casually. It's just that this rule is useless to someone who doesn't respect the gods.

During the riots in Temple Street yesterday, Dai Yang repaid the debt of 100,000 lien from the Isailey family for the female knight, which made the wallet that had been so hard to bulge up in a flash of time. Although Dai Yang didn't have any complaints about this result, but whenever he recalled his hard-earned money, when he was ruined by the young master of the Kadia family, he still couldn't help but want to beat him up.

Moreover, the huge shortfall of one hundred thousand lien caused by this incident almost lost all of the prop store's money in. This is a more serious problem than any trial. If you don't want to make money to make up for it, after returning to Lanlos Town, it is estimated that you can only go to the bad middle-aged place to eat food every day-just thinking about that situation, Dai Yang couldn't help feeling the chills.

The Changchun Forest is like spring in all seasons, and herbs that are rare in winter grow. You can buy them on the black market at very good prices. Dai Yang was thinking of at least earning his living expenses first, but who knew that he accidentally found this little fairy who loves to bask in the cliffs of trees, which can be regarded as a windfall.

"Tsk tsk, if you get it on the black market, you should be able to buy twenty to thirty thousand lien... Or maybe it's a better idea to take it to Chengyue Forest and buy those elves?" Dai Yang looked at the pretty little elves in the bottle. , Began to evaluate the pros and cons of the two options.

The elves living in Chengyue Forest seem to like to keep such cute little things as pets. If you get the Chengyue Forest in exchange after you go back, you might be able to exchange for many precious medicinal herbs secretly passed down by the Elves, and then wait until the beginning of spring to sell them on the black market, the income will definitely be more than twenty to thirty thousand lien. But the problem is that it’s hard to hide from the daughter-in-law for such a long time. If the maiden knows that she is messing around in the sacred forest, the end will be miserable...

"Well, it's better to make a quick decision... OK! Then grab a few more and sell one!"

Dai Yang rolled up his sleeves and made an ambitious declaration, but things were not as simple as he had imagined.

The little goblin was originally a cunning and rare fantasy creature. Even a hunter who enters and exits the forest all the year round will not be able to see it for a lifetime. This time Dai Yang had the opportunity to meet a little goblin who was being lazy. It could be said that his character had exploded to the extreme. It would be impossible for him to meet the same opportunity again.

With this unrealistic enthusiasm, Dai Yang spent almost a morning in the forest, but found nothing.

It wasn't until the sun hung high in the sky cast rays of light perpendicular to the ground and looked down at the shadow shrunk to his feet that Dai Yang realized that it was already noon. For the sake of saving money, he omitted breakfast. He had been focusing on hunting for prey before, and forgot to find some wild fruits to fill his stomach. At this time, he only felt thirsty and hungry.

"Ah, things really aren't that easy..."

Touching his empty belly, Dai Yang bowed his head and sighed. Suddenly, there was a soft sound of breaking wind from the left side. Out of the martial artist's intuition, Dai Yang subconsciously avoided him sideways, but the glass bottle hanging around his waist could not catch up with his movements. The glass bottle shattered completely after hearing a crisp sound of "boo". Before Dai Yang had time to react, the little fairy inside fluttered its wings and dashed towards the forest.

"Wait...wait, don't run!"

Dai Yang only had time to chase a few steps, and the little fairy had disappeared in the forest.

The prey that was finally obtained was just released? Dai Yang cursed, turning his head angrily to look at the cause of the accident. It was a tattered feather arrow falling on the ground full of glass shards. A closer look reveals that the arrowheads of the feather arrows are rusty, and the back feather feathers are also uneven as if they have been gnawed by a dog. On the whole, they resemble the merchandise used by the down-and-out robbers.

"Damn! Who did it?"

Dai Yang ran and snarled, looking around angrily, looking for a target to vent his anger. However, after five or six minutes, there was no second arrow shot. The forest was quiet, but there was a noisy sound coming from outside the forest.

"Huh? It wasn't against me, was someone robbed?"

Dai Yang judged like this, and frowned and hesitated whether to go to the muddy water. Although for the moment, he himself was in a situation where he had no time to worry about him, but in the end his vengeance and sense of justice prevailed, gritted his teeth and walked in the direction of the commotion.

※※※

The outside of Changchun Forest is surrounded by the river of St. Balkans. The winding St. Balkan River originates from the Frost Mountains and flows toward the vast plains of Gulambel, bypassing the Everspring Forest. The left bank of the St. Balkan River is regarded as a sacred place and is forbidden for mortals to set foot in the Everspring Forest. The right bank of the river leads from the Temple of Stormwind to the business road of King Bahala. The spacious river surface divides two distinct areas.

Dai Yang lay in the bushes by the forest, quietly looking at the opposite bank, and what he saw made him almost fall into the St. Balkan River.

I saw that a fierce chase was unfolding beside the commercial road on the other side of the river.

Running ahead is a knight in full steel armor. The knight has a burly physique, without a helmet, and reveals a bold beard that hardly loses to the dwarf. If you change the occasion, it would be considered majestic, but the sight of leaning on a wild boar and fleeing desperately at this time can only make people feel funny.

Chasing the knight behind was a team of more than twenty orcs. The mounts of the orcs are like the knights, they are also wild boars.

What needs to be clarified is that for travelers who frequent this business road, the orcs on the backs of wild boars are arguably the robbers they hate the most. The orcs living in the wilderness do not know how to domesticate wild boars into mounts, riding them to rob travelers to and from the capital. Because Dai Yang himself had a record of encountering orc robbers many times, he knew the difficulty of these guys, so he was even more surprised by the scene in front of him.

The wild boar of the bearded knight was obviously snatched from the orcs, and he knew it by watching the orcs chasing after them as if they were killing red eyes.

Riding a wild boar and riding a horse are two different things. The bearded knight obviously hasn't adapted to this wild mount, and runs very embarrassed. But fortunately, the two of the orcs were riding a wild boar together, and the speed was not much faster, so there was no way to catch up in a short time. Among the two orcs riding wild boars, the orc in the front is responsible for manipulating the reins, while the orc in the back shoots at the bearded knight with a short bow.

Perhaps thanks to the rough short bows and poor technique of the orcs, nine out of ten arrows shot out were far away from the target. Even if it hits the target occasionally, the rusty arrow breaks when it hits the steel armor. Dai Yang looked at the few arrows that fell in front of the bushes, and almost determined where the cold arrow just came from.

Just when he couldn't help gritting his teeth, the situation on the other side of the river changed again.

Whether it was shooting out the arrows or realizing the fact that their archery skills were poor, the orcs finally gave up their bows and arrows, drew out their machetes, and urged the wild boar to approach the bearded knight. At this time, the bearded knight seemed to have gradually adapted to the characteristics of the new mount. Holding the rein in his left hand, and pulling out the sword with his right hand, he chopped down the approaching orcs one by one, demonstrating solid horse riding skills.

"Oh! Good fight! Cut a few more!"

Dai Yang, who was watching the fire from the other side, couldn't help but clap his hands in applause.

Seeing the bearded knight chopped over the orcs who had been forced by three riders in succession, he couldn't help but expect the remaining orcs to be solved smoothly. Who knows that it's not enough to die at this moment, an orc's arrow hit the front buttocks of the wild boar. The painful wild boar suddenly went mad, hissed and roared, and then hit the half of the big tree stump on the side of the road.

The bearded knight who was so overwhelmed that he could barely hold the reins was thrown away. He flew seven or eight meters in the air, then fell heavily on the bank of the roadside, and even the sword in his hand flew out. On the other hand, seeing the powerful enemy destroying themselves unexpectedly, the orcs were stunned and greeted enthusiastically. They immediately urged the wild boar to rush towards the unarmed bearded knight, and the situation was extremely dangerous in an instant.

"But... Damn it, is that the end..."

The bearded knight reluctantly held up his body, watching the approaching orc raise the blood-stained machete, and closed his eyes in despair.

"Taste the resentment of 20,000 lien! Look at the trick! Flash bomb, deafening enhanced version!"

No doubt he would die, who knew there was a powerful shout next to him.

After drinking, a deafening violent sound exploded, and at the same time it swept across the spot with a strong flash! Fortunately, the bearded knight closed his eyes, so he didn't receive much flash impact, but his ears were buzzed by the popping sound. Just when he was dizzy, he was pulled into the bushes on the side of the road.

"Don't make a noise, lower down."

Dai Yang pushed the bearded knight down in the bushes, and then watched the situation of the orcs over there vigilantly.

Even the knight with his eyes closed was dizzy by the power of the flash bomb. It is not difficult to imagine what the end of the orcs who are riding on the backs of the wild boars and charging with all their strength-I saw that a large half of the orcs came from the wild boar on the spot. The back fell off, covering his eyes and making a miserable cry on the ground, and the orcs who remained on the back of the wild boar could no longer control the wild boar that was irritated and mad.

The violent wild boar scattered wildly, kicking and bumping in place, and the orcs who fell to the ground were unlucky. The sharp fangs of the wild boar tore the flesh and blood of the beasts, and the stubby trotters smashed the bones of the beasts. The cruel scene of flesh and blood flying across made Dai Yang feel hated. Before long, the violent wild boars ran towards the road they came from, leaving in place the remains of the **** orc.

"Wow, a flash bomb can have such an effect..."

After the wild boar group disappeared completely, Dai Yang stood up from the bush where he was hiding, looked at the miserable scene on the business road, speechless.
