Mercenaries and Adventurers Chapter 61

"When I saw the large group of slime monsters, I was so stupid, I had to retreat to the back to keep a distance from them." Zhao Ji said while gesturing the number of slime monsters with both hands.

"At that time, I suddenly discovered that the slime monsters seem to be gathered together, but in fact there is no concept of unity at all. When I saw me retreating, you rushed towards me, and some slime monsters ran away The ones are faster, some are blocked behind, and some are spinning around in place." Zhao Ji laughed.

"Then you just wipe them out one by one?" Someone asked among the onlookers.

"It's not that simple. Although the slime monster has changed from a large group to a long line, I still can't get started. I can only retreat a lot, that is, to a small island in the back. This is the first time There are three battlefields, and when the slime monsters climb here, they will become sparse. Only then can I be sure to destroy them together. After all, the acid of slime monsters is too dangerous. You can't touch it at all. If you touch it, it will corrode the skin and the flesh underneath." Zhao Ji couldn't tell his secret, so he could only exaggerate the power of the slime monster's acid.

Hearing the power of the acid described by Keel, many onlookers got goosebumps and kept rubbing their arms. Seeing that they were so afraid of the power of the acid, Zhao Ji deliberately described in detail the horror of the jumping frogs that were sprayed by the acid when the slime monsters were preying on them.

Shocked by the scene described, several of the onlookers retched. People asked Keir to stop talking about this, Zhao Ji had no choice but to exaggerate the second half of his hunting last night.

After Zhao Ji said that he was tired and fell asleep after working in the middle of the night, the onlookers dispersed in satisfaction. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss whether they could complete such a hunt by themselves.

Some think they can do a better job than Kiel, and he can clean up an entire swamp of slime monsters in one night. Someone said that he himself had never been out of the city in the middle of the night, and he felt it was dangerous to go out of the house at night. Others said that he himself was already forty years old, and he couldn't compare to young people who could fight till midnight like this. Others say that the key to Keir's success is to choose the right time and create an advantage that is beneficial to him.

Zhao Ji didn't listen to the discussion of the drinkers, he hurried to the toilet on the side of the tavern, took a good pee, and drank more than a dozen glasses of beer, which made his stomach bloated and uncomfortable.

Returning to the tavern with a relaxed face, Zhao Ji gave Todd a hot silver coin, and Todd returned to his room above the tavern to find change for Zhao Ji.

With the irrigation of dozens of copper coins, Zhao Ji's money bag was filled again. He greeted everyone in the tavern, and brought his things back to the chamber of commerce.

Originally, he wanted to return the dagger that Todd had lent him, but the dagger had been corroded by the acid of the slime monster. Todd disliked it and gave it to Zhao Ji, saying it was his congratulatory gift.

Suppressing his drowsiness, Zhao Ji disassembled the dagger in the blacksmith workshop, and handed the dagger to an apprentice blacksmith he knew to sharpen the dagger, which only cost one copper coin. The blacksmith apprentice asked Zhao Ji when he would come to pick it up. Zhao Ji, who was fighting his eyelids, tried to think about it. Today, he would definitely not be able to go out of the city to hunt, and everything had to wait until tomorrow. Just tell him to pick it up tomorrow morning.

As soon as he returned to the chamber of commerce, Zhao Ji went directly to his room, and when the door was closed, he was too sleepy to lay down the bedding, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep with the bedding in his arms.

While Zhao Ji was asleep, news of him hunting slime monsters spread from the Table Corner Tavern. It's a novelty in Kendall City's boring time, when people tell each other stories they've heard.

The storyline and hunting results are exaggerated occasionally. Some people don't believe it. They don't think that the slime monsters that the guards have to deal with carefully can have such exaggerated hunting results~www.mtlnovel.com~ Some people have seen the slime monster corpses piled up in the leather shop with their own eyes And the busy apprentices were dubious, thinking that it was the result of collective hunting by a dozen or so individuals. Some people think that the stupid slime monsters are no match for humans at all, and it is only normal to have this result.

But at least they all knew an out-of-towner's name this time, Joe Keel.

This young boy, at least he was brave and good at using his wits.

Zhao Ji slept until the afternoon, when he got up energetically, and came to the restaurant with a wooden pot cover and shield.

It was not time for meal again, and Zhao Ji, who was hungry and hungry after waking up, could only wait for the meal in the restaurant. Aunt Dilu took the old pot lid covered with a thick layer of slime, and threw it aside in disgust. Zhao Ji was a little bit reluctant to part with this meritorious minister, and begged Aunt Di Lu to give him the old pot lid she didn't want.

Seeing that the old pot cover was indeed helpful to Keir, and that Kiel was using it, Aunt Di Lu gave the old wooden pot cover to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Jimei happily put the old pot lid back into the house. He planned to find an apprentice blacksmith he knew to reinforce the pot lid tomorrow. He added two iron handles on the back of the lid, one for fixing the forearm and the other for holding it with his left hand. . Then wrap the rim of the old pot lid with a layer of leather, and finally brush the surface with oil.

In this way, the old pot cover will become a qualified wooden shield. It is impossible to resist swords, guns and hammers, but it is no problem to deal with monsters such as slime monsters.

When he made money, he had to prepare a set of equipment for himself, at least not look worse than the guards. He didn't want to be laughed at by them again.
