Broad World

Chapter 6 Hunting and Traps

After obtaining the druid's address, Henry discussed with Cagan and decided to visit the druid lady tomorrow morning in order to learn more about the details of the diggers in this village. After nightfall, Henry returned to the room, copied the two magic spells that were not used during the day into scrolls, and then lay on the bed to turn on the system.

Human, male, 14 years old, absolutely neutral, occupation: mage level 1, experience 10632500, druid level 1, experience 1062 00

During the day, each burrower contributed up to 975 experience points to Henry. Hobgoblins only have 35 experience points. It can be seen that the worms are fierce and difficult to deal with, no wonder ordinary adventurers don't come here. Kill three more and you can be promoted to level 2 mage and druid. I hope tomorrow's news will not be too bad. If the number exceeds too much, it is estimated that they will turn around and run away. After thinking about it for a while, Henry began to prepare spells and magic spells, and after praying, he took off his clothes and began to rest.

Jie Di got up early in the morning, she felt very anxious recently. The number of worms is too high. The animal friend Yunying told her that there have been more than three incidents of worms attacking passers-by this month. If it develops like this, there will be no other animals in the whole forest. It is also a matter of time before the village is attacked by insects.

Suddenly someone shouted outside the house: "Excuse me, is Ms. Jiedi Druid there?" She immediately opened the door of the tree house when she heard the call. I saw a dwarf and a boy standing under a tree. The two were Cagan and Henry. The female druid quickly climbed down from the vine beside the tree house and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Henry briefly looked at the lady. Black leather armor, carrying a spear over two meters, brown hair, brown eyes and slender limbs. And a pair of pointed ears. Wait for pointy ears? This is an elf or half-elf.

He stepped forward and saluted the female druid. "Hello, beautiful elf lady, we are adventurers who came here to hunt and kill burrowers. We heard at Brown's house yesterday that there are a lot of them in recent years, so we want to come here to confirm."

Zeti thought for a while and said, "There are indeed a lot of them. There are at least more than 50 in the whole area. Besides, I'm just a half-elf." When she realized that the two people in front of her were here to help, her attitude immediately improved a lot. "If you are here to hunt bugs, you must kill at least 25 of them, and you can come to me to receive rewards with evidence of killing them. Each one is 0 gold coins, and I can give you another piece of magic equipment, young druid .”

The dwarf underestimated in a low voice: "It's a good business, I think we can continue." Cagan immediately became happy when he heard that there was a generous reward. Henry thought for a while, 25 bugs can get a reward of 5,000 gold coins and a magic item. The shells obtained after killing can also be sold for 12,500 gold coins, and the profit of a mission is directly 20,000.

"As you wish, we will bring the heads of 25 bugs killed within 3 days as a proof." Henry finally agreed.

"There is a huge cave on the west side of Brown Farm, where most of the diggers mate. You should start there first." Seeing that the other party took the task, Zeti also reminded the two of them by the way.

After half an hour of walking, Henry and Cagan came to a huge hole with a diameter of more than 5 meters. It was dark inside. "I think I should go back to the village and buy a few torches." The dwarf who found that he was not prepared suggested.

"Light Art" Henry cast a level 0 trick on the dwarf's axe. Cagan's big ax gave out a soft light. He directly extended the ax in his hand into the pit and found that it could illuminate about 7 meters. "Magic is really convenient." Cagan sighed, then found a big tree and tied a rope and jumped into the hole. Henry then also climbed down the rope.

The cave is not deep from the ground, only about ten meters. The tunnel inside the cave is very spacious, about four meters high and three meters wide, so running and fighting are not a problem. Pixie Louise was sent out to scout out the general situation of the cave with a small wooden stick that had been cast with the light spell. Such a small thing will not attract the attention of diggers.

Henry and Cagan organized their equipment and prepared scrolls at the entrance of the cave. Louise flew back in less than ten minutes and began reporting to her master. Henry frowned while thinking about the devil's thoughts. The entire cave is not small, and Jedi insects are distributed in every corner of the cave. Most of them were in a pile of two or three, and there was a big man with a volume of more than four meters mixed with four three-meter-five ones at the bottom.

After a brief discussion with Cagan, I decided that it would definitely not work. The two decided to use the method of attracting snakes to lure the insects to the entrance of the cave and burn them to death. Now that the method is determined, the two people start to act. Cagan was responsible for picking firewood, while Henry went back to the village to buy some oil to help the fire. An hour and a half later, a thick layer of firewood and hay was covered at a depth of more than ten meters below the entrance of the cave. Henry also purchased from the village, and brought a torch and two clay pots of rapeseed oil weighing more than twenty catties. Spread the oil on the branches and the whole flame trap is complete. At that time, as long as you light the torch and throw it down, the cave will become a death tunnel from the inside of the cave to more than ten meters from the entrance, and all the burrowers rushing out of it will be stuck here, and then release a greasy spell to ensure that no one can escape come out. Cagan rested for a while and began to take off his helmet and armor, trying to reduce the load so that he could run faster.

"Why am I the bait every time? It's hard to be chased by a group of big bugs." The dwarf grumbled and climbed down the rope.

"Think about the rewards after the task is completed! Cagan, that's 20,000 gold coins." Henry's words immediately cheered up the dwarf.

"Yes, 20,000 gold coins! My God, how much wine can this buy. I can't wait to complete the task and let's go back to Belgost's tavern to buy all the treasures there." Kagan's brain began to yell uncontrollably up.

"Blessing" Henry used a divine tree scroll before the dwarf climbed down. This spell can make it easier for you and your teammates' weapons to hit the target's vitals. Then lit the torch next to it with a flint and steel that was in his hand.

"Kagan run faster, I'll meet you at any time." Henry shouted towards the cave.

"I'll run fast, don't worry," the dwarf replied, then took the ax blessed with the light technique, and walked deep into the depths without looking back. Within a few minutes, Henry felt a slight vibration on the ground. It should be that Cagan and the army of bugs behind him were about to arrive.

Henry suddenly found himself getting a little nervous, and after taking a deep breath, he began to prepare for the greasy technique. I saw the dwarf jumped up from the bottom of the cave and grabbed the rope, shouted: "Do it!" and began to climb up quickly. The long-prepared spell of "Grease" was cast along Cagan's back, and a large piece of grease covered the firewood under the cave. Throwing the torch down, Henry began to pull on the rope.

There was a bang at the entrance of the cave, and the oil-soaked firewood below burned violently, and the dwarves who were still on the rope also suffered. Clothes, shoes, hair, and his proudest beard, were all set on fire. The dwarf who was dragged up immediately began to roll on the ground to fight the fire. Two gallons of water were poured on the dwarf directly by the "water making skill", and the fire was extinguished.

Cagan now looks a little embarrassed and wet, his pants have been burned down to the calf, and his hair is a mess. The original waist-length beautiful long beard is only half left. But he doesn't have time for that now. Immediately after turning off the fire, he began to put on his helmet and armor, who knows if those bugs will rush up immediately.

It took less than two minutes for the dwarf to put on his equipment with the help of Henry, holding a shield and ax and staring nervously at the entrance of the cave. Henry suddenly felt that there was danger behind him, so he pushed the dwarf away violently, and then rolled sideways. A big bug that was somewhat blackened by the smoke jumped out from where it stood just now. "Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that easy." Cursing, the dwarf got up and rushed up quickly with an ax in hand. He successfully blocked the worm's jaws with the shield, and hacked in through the gap in the armor. With a "poof", half of the worm's head was chopped off. The green juice sprayed Cagan all over. After a successful blow, another ax was added, and the whole head fell off and the bug died. "Damn these disgusting things are hot, I think the other bugs must be cooked down there," Cagan said as he wiped the green slime off his face with his hands.

Henry walked over and briefly looked at the corpse and said to the dwarf: "The inside of the digger's body is very soft, mostly water, so high temperature is fatal to them. This one has been cooked by high temperature, even if we don't It won’t last long if you kill it. And this temperature basically doesn’t do any harm to the shell, so don’t worry that the shell will be damaged and you won’t be able to sell it. By the way, how many of them did you attract just now.”

"At least for a while after the fire dies we go down and count, and if there's any left I think we'll have to do it tomorrow. I'm exhausted today, not an easy job for a three-hundred-year-old dwarf. ' complained the dwarf

Henry nodded and continued to be on guard. The fire in the cave burned fiercely for a full fifteen minutes before it began to go out. Thick smoke blackened the opening of the hole. After the fire was extinguished, the two walked to the entrance of the cave to have a look. A small amount of residual fire illuminated the inside very brightly. The hole was blocked by several insects. It seems that when it was burning, these insects were scalded madly and squeezed out desperately, so that five insects were stuck in the three-meter-wide hole.

Seeing that there was no danger, the two re-tie the ropes and descended into the cave again. Looking at these black and shiny diggers, who would have thought that so many powerful monsters could be killed by a small burning trap. Henry suddenly thought of a sentence he read in a book before crossing: "A real mage always uses wisdom to solve problems, but the one who always uses strength to solve problems is just a barbarian who uses magic."
