Mercenaries and Adventurers Chapter 58

Zhao Ji agreed to join the middle-aged guard, and Todd and blacksmith apprentice Moore also came over.

Moore's complexion was not very good-looking, and he couldn't say anything in front of so many people. He muttered a few words in a low voice and followed the team out of the city.

I don't know what Todd told Moore, but for Moore, who is an apprentice blacksmith, although a silver coin is not a lot, it is not a lot. He made a bet with Zhao Ji at the beginning, mainly because he wanted Zhao Ji to join their group of apprentices, so that Zhao Ji would be responsible for work such as chopping firewood, and the apprentices would share the salary. It can make apprentices get rid of a trivial and heavy manual labor, and devote more energy to the improvement of their skills.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Ji succeeded in hunting slime monsters one after another after betting, which made their plan come to nothing. Er was able to retreat despite difficulties, but he did not expect Keir to be so powerful.

Today, he even said that he wanted a group of people to go outside the city to check the large group of slime monsters he hunted last night.

Didn't the slime monster's gamble target be set a little too little at the beginning? If there is really no other way, the job of chopping firewood can only be found by another person.

Why.

Moore, the blacksmith apprentice walking behind the line, sighed, shook his head, and stopped speaking.

After leaving the city, a group of twelve people first headed south, then turned west, and walked along a small road beside the outer city wall in the south of the city. On the way, Zhao Ji told others about his hunting of slime monsters in the past two days.

Zhao Ji talked about the two drainage outlets and sewage outlets in the south of the city, and found that many people didn't even know about it. Only the Punica craftsman nodded to show that he knew these two things, because his father had participated in the construction of the underground waterway project in Kendall City.

The middle-aged guard looked at the direction of the sewage drain with a look of disgust, wondering if he remembered the guards cleaning up the monsters in the sewage sewer. That seems like an interesting story, Zhao Ji thought to himself.

Others were surprised that there was such a large project under the city, especially after hearing the Punica artisan explain the scale of the entire Kendall City underground waterway. Everyone couldn't believe that it took such a big project to guarantee the normal things they drank water and excreted every day, and they all expressed their desire to go and have a look.

Zhao Ji shrugged and led everyone over.

Because they were walking towards the west, Zhao Ji and his party who came along the diagonal line touched the drainage channel first.

The clear and cold water of the Kendall River slowly flowed out of the black-painted drain, and flowed along the brick-built ground and walls into the swamp south of the city. The neatly arranged bricks and stones are covered with green moss, and the moss is covered with footprints left by Zhao Ji in the past two days. The swamp plants facing the water flow are also very luxuriant, colorful flowers are blooming facing the sun, and the dense mosquitoes are flying around, full of vitality.

Zhao Ji and his team who came to the side of the waterway watched in surprise. Many people poked their heads into the air, trying to see what it was like inside the dark waterway.

Seeing the other people stretching their heads to look, Zhao Ji laughed and jumped into the water channel while leaning on the masonry wall. After standing still, he beckoned others to come down and take a look.

Seeing that Zhao Ji had gone down, the others all dragged their shoes and climbed down slowly while holding onto the masonry walls of the waterway. Come around.

Among the group, only the middle-aged guard and the Punica craftsman did not come down. One of them came to patrol every year, and even went deep into the waterway, and the other went in to play when the waterway was being built. Something else, nothing.

After dipping their feet in the icy cold water of the Kendall River, they washed their hands and faces and climbed ashore. They were happily talking to each other. The two apprentices of the Punika craftsman pushed the cart again, and said with a smile that they would call other apprentice friends to come and play together. Moore, the blacksmith apprentice, also nodded in agreement.

After crossing the drain is the sewage outlet. The closer they got, the stronger the smell of excrement. The whole group frowned, but their curiosity drove them to go and have a look. After all, they all looked at the drains, and there was no reason not to look at the drains.

Zhao Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he held his nose and followed the others.

The sewerage really raised the awareness of a group of people. Many people have never seen so much filth in their life. Not long after the night's filth was discharged from here, the fresh filth was accumulating in the swamp south of the city facing the sewage outlet.

Diurnal animals from all over the swamp gather to feast on this spot. The flies were buzzing and flying, which looked like small black clouds from a distance.

Smelling the soaring stench, everyone looked ugly, as if they had eaten a mouthful of filth. Zhao Ji didn't expect it to be so lively at this time of day.

Zhao Ji patted the shoulders of the others, signaling to leave here quickly. The group of people who came back to their senses ran towards the city wall as if fleeing, and the two leather apprentices pushed the car very fast.

After staying away from the sewage outlet, everyone at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com dared to take a deep breath of fresh air. One or two whispered to others what they saw just now, and even the Punika craftsman stared at Todd and Zhao Ji with displeasure, regretting following them to see such disgusting things, Since the underground drainage project in Kendall City was completed, he never came to see it again. He really didn't expect the sewage outlet to be so shocking and disgusting.

The middle-aged guard's expression was even uglier, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. After all, their guards have the task of patrolling and clearing every year, and the middle-aged guard must have participated in it.

It's just that it's so disgusting outside, and if you go inside, you will explode on the spot immediately, Zhao Ji secretly looked at the middle-aged guard and thought.

The group regained their composure, and Zhao Ji led them towards the northwest direction of the swamp. After a while, I passed by Zhao Ji's camp for the past two days. Zhao Ji introduced to others that he spent the night here for the past two days.

A drinker asked Zhao Ji if he had encountered any danger during camping in the wild these two days. Zhao Ji said that he has been hunting monsters in the swamp for the past two days, and he doesn't care about ordinary animals. As long as the campfire stayed on at night, there was no danger, except for the one time when some animal stole his dinner out of the pack and left him starving.

Zhao Ji had already hidden those rattan helmets and branch cloaks last night, not afraid of being discovered his hunting secrets. As for the tree trails he built for hunting, there is no other way to do this. They can only be piled there, and people will see them when they see them. As long as no one is fighting him for the slime monster.

After walking for a while, Zhao Ji and his party came to the northwest of the swamp. From a long distance away, they saw rows of slime monster corpses wrapped tightly in leaves.
