Chapter 51 Not a Wonderful Start

Squeak! ~

A huge magic mouse was nailed to the ground by a shuttle gun, making a creepy hiss.

It struggled desperately, but the sharp metal tip completely penetrated its neck into the mud under the action of powerful projection force.

The black blood flowed from the wound to the forest full of rotten leaves, and the magic mouse that was hit soon failed to breathe.

Not far away, its companions realized that the group of enemies in front of them were not easy to provoke, hissed and jumped, and quickly disappeared into the dense and dark jungle.

Leon came over and pulled his shuttle gun out of the corpse of the magic mouse.

These hound-sized black mice were the first monsters they encountered after their team entered the dark place. Dozens of mice attacked from all directions.

However, as one of the lowest-level monsters in the dark place, the magic mouse that only relies on the attack with poisonous minions is not the opponent of five level 6 barbarian warriors at all. The battle shows a one-sided trend at the beginning.

"The mice are very annoying. They are very vengeful and cunning. They will not give up so easily. They will follow us far away and summon more companions to disturb." Panad frowned and said, "We have some bad luck. We met these guys as soon as we came in!"

Because he has participated in three trials and is familiar with the dark place, Panad became the captain of the five-person team.

"No, when they meet us, I think they are too unlucky." Leon said with a smile.

"It's also true!" Bernard waved his tomahawk: "They dare to come and kill them all!"

Solved the trouble of the mouse, and the team continued to move towards the hinterland of the dark place.

From the iron furnace fort to the west, he crossed a small forest and crossed the mountains, and entered the dark place, which was also the trial place of Leon and others.

Just across a mountain, the environment here becomes completely different.

A tall long green banyan tree unfolds its huge canopy, completely covering the whole sky. Countless vines hang down from the canopy, entangled and spread with ferns on the ground, forming an almost unventilated green net.

It is dark and humid, and there is a smell of rotten smell in the air. Obviously, it is a northern forest, but it gives people the feeling of being in the southern rainforest.

At the beginning, 400 testers entered in groups, and different teams could hear each other's voices, but as they continued to deepen, dozens of teams were like raindrops scattered into the sea.

Because there is no road to follow, the soldiers can only cut off the blocked vines and plants with their war knives and tomahawks, and groping forward in the soft and muddy woodland.

"There is a great swamp over there, with many monsters and monsters, but our mission is the dark elves..." Panad said, "So we have to go to the central mountain area, where there are many caves leading directly to the underground, which is the main place where the black elves are haunted."

He raised his head and judged the sky through a little light between the canopy: "We will definitely not be able to catch up before it falls. Let's find a place to camp first and set off tomorrow morning!"

"Brother Panad, take a break first." Laika, the scout of the team, wiped the sweat on his forehead and gasped.

This leopard warrior is very young, and his surname is cheerful and active. He was the last member to join the team and once participated in a trial.

However, he was not able to complete the task in that trial, so he prepared another shame this year.

Leto took the initiative to take on the task of scouting. Due to the complex and dangerous surroundings, he also consumed the most physical strength along the way.

"Okay, let's take a break, drink some water and eat something to supplement." Panad nodded.

Although none of the five team members are weak, they trek all the way in the jungle and have to deal with the sudden monsters from time to time, which is a severe test of spirit and physical strength.

Especially drinking water, if it is not replenished in time, it is easy to cause the danger of dehydration.

Everyone rested on the spot. Panad leaned against a big tree, took out a wine bag from his backpack, unscrewed it and took a sip.

"Ray, you have a bite, too. This is the best liqueur in Tomund City!"

He did not enjoy it by himself. After a few sips, he reached out and handed the wine bag to Leon next to him.

But to Panad's surprise, Leon not only did not take the wine bag, but also waved a tomahawk and split at him head-on!

Wow!

The strong wind from the axe blade hit Bernard's face, and the tough tiger warrior's mind was blank.

The distance between the two sides was so close that Leon was in trouble again. He didn't even have a chance to dodge at all. He could only watch the tomahawk hit himself.

Bang!

The wine bag in his hand fell to the ground.

The tomahawk fell, but wiped it from the side of his cheek and cut heavily on the big tree behind him!

"Leon, what are you doing!?"

"You are crazy!"

Natten and Voster jumped up almost at the same time, with shock and stunned in their eyes - how could Leon suddenly go crazy to attack his teammates?

However, they immediately found that they had wronged Leon.

At the place where the tomahawk landed, a gray-black venomous snake that had been cut seven inches was curling up in pain. It had five or six feet of thick arms, the triangular snake's head and eyes were bulging, and the snake mouth was stretched out with sharp tusks.

With the strength of Rayon and the sharpness of the tomahawk, this blow did not directly cut it in two. Its scales were extremely tough, and the snake's neck was flattened and not broken.

But it was restrained, and the poisonous snake that tried to sneak up on Bernard could only struggle in vain.

"Fuck!" Panad, who escaped the disaster, couldn't help swearing.

Of course, this swearing was not aimed at Leon, but at the poisonous snake that almost succeeded in the sneak attack. He was not ignorant. After being stunned, he immediately found the danger around him.

If Leon hadn't taken action in time and decisively and been bitten by this poisonous snake, God knew what the consequences would be. There would be no priest in the team.

Parnard waved the tomahawk in his hand and slashed at the poisonous snake on the tree trunk until he completely cut the snake's head into meat sauce.

"It's so close! This is a first-class Warcraft iron phosphorus venomous snake, which is rare and powerful. In the past, when I participated in the trial, I saw it bite a teammate to death.

After confirming that the poisonous snake could not die again, Panad put down the tomahawk and said with lingering heart.

Leon took back the tomahawk, which was also a little shocked: "Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise..."

This dark place is indeed a step-by-step crisis. Even an experienced veteran like Parnard may inadvertently fall.

This iron-phosphorus venom snake can be said to remind everyone that it is necessary to be more cautious here.

Panad stepped forward and gave Leon a heavy punch: "You guy, I was almost scared to pee my crotch just now, thank you!"

Of course, it's just Bernard's self-deprecating. After such an accident, he really regarded Leon as a trusted friend and brother!

"If I'm really scared to pee, I won't compensate my trousers!"

Leon punched him back, and a relaxed joke made everyone happy. The suffocating tension just now disappeared.

After a short break, everyone continued to go on the road, and this time the action was more cautious.

When night fell, the five-person team found a place to camp at night.

This is a small cave located on the mountainside. Because it leaves the dense jungle, the view is relatively open and relatively safe.

This cave was found by Laika. During the last trial, he had been active in this area, so he was familiar with the nearby environment.

The cave is not deep. After searching and confirming that there were no monsters, Leon and five others lived in the cave.

For the test takers, the night in the dark place is the most dangerous, because the black elves and most underground monsters are extremely good at night attacks, and moving in the jungle at night is simply looking for death.

This is clearly written in the manual sent by the Iron Furnace Guard to each tester. If you want to complete the task, you must first ensure that you can live.

Laika and Voster found a lot of hay in the nearby mountain and went back to the cave to set up a bonfire.

The burning bonfire can keep the cave warm and drive away the monsters that are afraid of light. In this dangerous and dark place, it gives more confidence and strength to the testers.

Pour the water stored in the skin bag into a small iron pot, put it into the dried meat and some seasonings to cook, and soon the fragrance of the broth permeated the cave.

Reon took out the rye bread from his backpack, put it on with flying thorns and slowly baked it by the bonfire. When it was hot and fragrant, he broke a piece and soaked it in the boiling broth.

It's happiness to be able to eat enough. The dark place is not a big forest for casual hunting. It's absolutely stupid to eat game here, because most of the monsters and monsters have the smell of underground darkness, and the meat can't be eaten at all.

When the bread is full of gravy, it is stuffed in the mouth, chewing and swallowing, and then drinking a sip of cold wort. The fatigue seems to disappear from the body in an instant, and the whole body is much more relaxed.

The silver-lined beaver rat smelled the smell of food, poked its little head out of its skin pocket, and rubbed Leon's body vigorously.

Leon smiled and took out a small handful of black pine nuts and stuffed them into his pocket, which calmed the little guy's resentment.

In this trial, Leon also took it with him, because he could cultivate intimacy and tacit understanding by feeding with his own hands all day long, which is also the key to cultivate domesticated pets.

"We take turns to watch the night. We must be vigilant. Everyone should go to bed early!"

After eating and drinking, Panad said, "We will leave early tomorrow morning. We don't have much time!"
