Mercenaries and Adventurers

Tens of days later in the dream.

Kil's face was a little thin at this time, and he was lying motionless behind a horizontal tree root, squinting his eyes and looking at a few singing and dancing mushroom boys not far away.

His mouth was bulging, but he was chewing a mouthful of glowing moss.

This stuff is barely edible, non-toxic, but very bitter. This thing was also a rare source of moisture in his recent dreamland. He had already finished drinking the poisonous ale. As for his own urine in the silver jar, it had been there for a long time and the smell was too strong. He couldn't drink it at all. Go to the mouth.

He could only replenish his water content by eating the water-rich glowing moss.

This is bad news, but the good news is that glowing moss abounds in dreams.

After the body is barely replenished with enough water, it is natural to solve the problem of food.

At first, Kil wanted to eat some newly grown poisonous mushrooms to sustain his life, but once when Kil was eating poisonous mushrooms on a mushroom carpet with healing power, he accidentally ate a mushroom boy with arms and legs. . Only then did I realize that although these little mushrooms were poisonous, for some unknown reason, they made me very full after eating them.

A fist-sized mushroom boy can sustain Kiel's body for a whole day.

Needless to say, Keir immediately launched a hunting operation.

However, after Keel captured Mushroom Boy and ate him, the other Mushroom Boys somehow found out about this and they all escaped from the camp. This forced Keir to search for and hunt them in the endless silent forest surrounding the camp.

These little mushrooms like to hide themselves in the shelter of tall, thick moss and are very hard to find.

But this didn't bother Kiel, who took out some useless wooden boards from the camp and used them as bait to place around the camp.

It is impossible for these mushroom boys who like to eat dead wood to resist this temptation.

In this way, Kil lay down not far from the bait, where he was not seen by the mushroom boys, waiting for these baits to lure several mushroom boys, two or three, waiting for them to root their mycelium feet on the wooden board to eat them. When they were full, and then the dancing group started dancing, Keir caught them all in one fell swoop.

Just like now——

After confirming that the bait would not lure the mushroom boys around, and waiting for them to start playing carelessly, Kil suddenly jumped out from behind the tall horizontal tree roots, and kicked hard while he was in the air. Kick the biggest mushroom boy away, causing it to hit the tree trunk next to it and die.

"Wow! The mushroom hunter is here!"

Kir screamed, kicked one of them away and then landed on the ground. With quick eyesight, he stretched out his hands to grab the two medium-sized mushroom boys. He lifted them up and bumped them hard from left to right, causing them to faint with a wailing sound.

The last and smallest Mushroom Boy was about to sneak away, but Kil had already spotted him. He threw out a sheathed dagger in his hand and knocked him to the ground using the sheath of the dagger instead of the blade. .

Then Kil jumped over, grabbed it in his hand, and stuffed it into the backpack behind him.

The two fainted medium-sized mushroom boys were also stuffed into the backpack. In the end, Kil held the big mushroom boy that he had kicked to death in his left hand. With his right hand, he picked up the broken pieces of wood that the mushrooms had not eaten and kept them for later. Use again.

"Hey, don't blame me, I'm just trying to survive."

Keir muttered, left this remote and dark place, and walked towards the direction where the bright light from the pond could be seen not far away.

The trunks of the surrounding large trees whose tops could not be seen were all carved with daggers by Keir, pointing to the direction of the camp and the pond, just to avoid the possibility of him getting lost here.

These mushroom boys have become increasingly difficult to catch these days, not because they have become smarter, but because they have gradually sensed the danger, and their activity range has moved further and further away from the pond and camp.

Kil didn't know what would happen if he went too far here. Would he be completely lost in the deep and boundless forest? Or is there an outermost boundary here, and what magical things will happen when it is touched?

Will it fall from a lady's dream? Or lost in a chaotic dream?

Or just left here?

Keel didn't dare try it, so he never really strayed far from the pond and camp, always where he could see the light from the pond.

He was thinking that if he couldn't get out after eating these mushroom boys, would he have to eat moss to survive?

Or maybe he went to beg the little elf to tinker with some more mushroom boys?

-

Returning to the camp, Kil took out the three mushroom boys from his backpack, tied them tightly together with a strong rope, and hung them high. Then he carried the big mushroom boy who was kicked to death by him and followed the already familiar route to the place where he appeared every time he entered the dreamland.

There is a small 'carpet' of mushrooms with therapeutic effects. As long as Kil sits on it, they will treat him, including the symptoms of poisoning caused by eating poisonous mushrooms.

Sitting down on the slightly elastic mushroom carpet, Kil apologized and patted the dead Mushroom Boy's umbrella, and then used a steel dagger to cut the Mushroom Boy open, first into thick mushrooms. slice and then cut into mushroom strips.

Finally, Kil licked the poisonous mushroom juice on his fingers, and a delicious taste came through.

If this thing wasn't poisonous, it would be a very delicious and delicious mushroom ingredient.

Keir divided the mushroom strips into several piles according to his daily food consumption. Such a large mushroom boy would probably be enough for him to eat for about ten days, but the few small mushroom boys he just caught were not used for food - —even if they are indeed edible.

Those mushroom boys are used to test whether the demonic flame outside the dream is extinguished.

While thinking that he must store several years of food for the camp in the future, Kil viciously tore into the soft and tender strips of poisonous mushrooms with his teeth.

While he was eating, the therapeutic fluorescent mushrooms with mysterious lines under his butt were playing their role in relieving the poisonous symptoms in the bodies of the humans sitting on their umbrellas.

Soon, Kil finished eating today's mushrooms, and then he collected all the cut mushroom strips and prepared to return to the camp.

As he walked, he pulled up clumps of large glowing moss from places he passed. These moss had fat branches and beautiful leaves. Although it tasted extremely bitter, the moisture inside was indispensable to Keir.

Chewing the moss, Kil swallowed the water squeezed out by his teeth and tongue in small sips. In this way, he returned to the somewhat messy camp.

Now he is either looking for food every day or sleeping here to rest and reduce physical exertion, but he no longer cares about cleaning up the camp.

As for the chaos in the camp, at least most of it was caused by goblins playing pranks.

It started to play around, no matter how much trouble it caused.

But these days, in addition to helping Kil test the safety outside the dreamland, it also has to watch out for Kil's smart mushroom subordinates who ate it.

Those are the mushrooms that live with it in its little house.

Ever since he started eating Mushroom Boy, his eyes looked different when he looked at those mushrooms with some intelligence.

The little goblin can't let this guy Kiel eat his subordinates.

"How about it? Let's try this mushroom boy to see what's going on outside?"

Kil carried a little mushroom boy tied up with a rope and came to the outside of the little goblin's house.

The little goblin's little house is located on the umbrella cover of a fat-headed mushroom boy. In order not to annoy the little goblin, Kil didn't do anything to the fat-headed mushroom boy who seemed to be able to eat it for a long time.

But when his eyes swept over the fat-headed mushroom boy, the mushroom boy trembled.

He looked like he would be eaten at any time.

This guy is different from other mushroom guys who can run away. The little goblin won't let him leave the pond and the camp, so he has to wander around the camp fearfully every day.

The little goblin yawned and walked out of the house. When he looked up, he saw Kil looking at the smart mushroom subordinates in the house behind him. He immediately opened his eyes and closed the small door of the house firmly.

"ha!"

It yelled, as if to tell Kil not to take advantage of his men.

As for the other stupid mushroom boys that were transformed by its spells, the little goblin didn't care much.

For example, now, the little goblin reached out and pointed at the little mushroom boy in Keer's hand. With a soft pop, the mushroom boy disappeared.

Poor Mushroom Boy was teleported to the outside of the dreamland, where Keir came in.

The next moment, the little goblin slapped his palm again, and the little mushroom boy appeared on the roof of the little goblin's house again.

The roof of the house is made of metal, unafraid of demonic fire that can burn the soul. Even if the returning mushrooms bring back the demonic flames, the short-term demonic flames will burn at high temperatures and will not affect the metal roof.

But this time, the Mushroom Boy who came back was different from his other unlucky friends. He didn't come back as a miserable grilled mushroom with blazing flames. Instead, he came back as he was before he left and how he came back now!

Kil and the goblin didn't pay much attention at first. After all, the results were exactly the same every time in the past dozens of days. Although Kil was still experimenting almost every day, even he himself didn't actually have much confidence. It can only be said that it was just a thought.

He was not a person who gave up easily. The moment he used the mushroom boys as food to survive, he was mentally prepared to fight here for hundreds of days.

But when Kil was sitting on the ground joking with the goblin, the little mushroom boy tied with a rope rolled off the roof of the goblin's house with a snap.

"Um?"

Kil noticed it, then reached out to lift it up, and said to the little goblin: "Come on, take this small mushroom and try it out today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little strange, as if he had said similar words not long ago.

But he immediately felt that maybe he had been living the same and boring life recently, so it was not impossible that he had such an illusion?

The little goblin had a strange smile on his face, the kind of suppressed smile, and once again reached out and pointed at the little mushroom boy in Kil's hand.

boom!

The mushroom boy disappeared.

The next moment, the mushroom boy appeared on the roof of the small house with all his beard and tail.

The roof was flat, but it couldn't hold the little mushroom kid tied up by the rope from rolling left and right. After a while, it rolled down from the roof.

With a bang, it rolled all the way down, and finally fell onto the Elf Silver Slab on the ground in the camp.

Kil was stunned for a moment and was about to pick it up again, but when he reached out to lift the Mushroom Boy from the ground and saw the little goblin looking like he could hardly hold back his laughter, he was completely stunned.

"Uh, uh."

He reacted intuitively, but his brain has not yet reacted. He wonders if he has been eating some nutritious mushrooms recently, which has caused his brain to be a little slow due to the lack of rich nutrients provided by oil and water.

"mushroom?"

He said tentatively.

The little goblin couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed on the ground while hugging his belly. That small, sharp laugh completely made Kil react: "Mushroom! Ahem, no, the mushroom came back alive!"

He was at a loss: "This, this, this? Does it mean, does it mean! The flames outside the dream, the demonic flames! Are they extinguished?"

The little goblin was still rolling around laughing. The behavior of this human being, Kil, was really funny to him. He was not as smart and brave as before.

Kil held the little mushroom boy in his hand in front of his eyes and carefully looked at this lucky little guy. He had all his beard and tail, and there were no traces of being burned by the flames on his body. He just felt a little emotional. Silk's little foot swayed and kicked out, hitting Kil's eyes.

Kiel groaned, covered his eyes and squatted down. He shook the mushroom in his hand vigorously and threw it away from a distance: "Let's go! You are free! Haha, since it is back alive, then it is Say, am I free too?"

"Right? Right?"

Kil quickly said to the little goblin, who lay down on the ground with a smile and spread his hands speechlessly.

It's not clear either.

After seeing this, Kil had no choice but to lick his face and beg, "How about you help me go out and see for myself? Anyway, those demonic flames can't do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, the little elf hurriedly covered the pockets of his clothes and trousers with his hands. He also remembered that after the last time he went out, the large number of mushroom spores stored in the storage space of his clothes pockets were all burned clean by the demonic flames.

Now his pocket is cleaner than his face, all thanks to the last incident.

Many of its favorite mushroom spores were burned away, which was a huge loss.

Kil rolled his eyes: "You were not prepared last time, so this time you can do some protection, or put on a set of clothes that don't contain anything, right?"

This was a good idea. The little goblin stood up and flew into the huge snail shell parked outside the door of its small house.

This snail shell is where it stores all kinds of things, and of course, it is also its favorite mount.

After working in the snail shell for a while, the little fairy jumped out of it. This time, it was completely different.

Originally, it was wearing a pair of horse-trapped bloomers, a tall star-and-moon hat on its head, and a pair of long boots with pointed toes on its feet. It looked weird and peculiar, not like the ones worn by people in the Kingdom of Saint Holes today. dress up.

At this time, it came out again and changed its clothes, but it was a common farmer's dress in Kendall. It was not known when it got this farmer's clothes.

"Did you make this outfit yourself?"

Keir looked at it for a while and said, because although it was dressed like a farmer, the clothes were very new and had obviously never been worn before.

After the little goblin heard this, he put his hands on his hips proudly, puffed up his chest proudly, and burst into laughter.

Keir complimented knowingly: "This dress is really well made. It's exactly the same as what the farmers in Kendall County wear! What a dexterous hand! If it wasn't too small, I would have asked you to make it for me in the future. Where are the clothes?"

Unexpectedly, the little goblin patted his chest proudly and yelled a few times. Although he couldn't understand it, it was not difficult to guess what he meant. This little guy actually thought that he should make a set of clothes for Keir that humans can wear. It's not a difficult task.

With its ability as a fairy, this is not a trivial matter.

-

Keir slapped his head and talked about the business at this time: "By the way, these are all small things that we will talk about later. Could you please help me go out first and see what the situation is like outside?"

The little goblin gave a wicked smile and stretched out his right hand to rub his fingers, meaning that for it to do its work, you must first satisfy its requirements. What are the requirements? Very simple, prank!

Kil rolled his eyes, curled his lips, and muttered: "What time has it been? Hey, come on! I'm afraid of you."

Seeing that Kil agreed, the little goblin blew a sharp whistle. The next moment, the door of its house opened, and the smart mushroom minions who had been hiding inside for a long time walked out of the house tremblingly. When they saw Kil, a human, they sat down Not far away, they immediately hugged each other in fear and trembled.

But the little fairy flew to the top of Kil's head, jumped vigorously on Kil's messy hair, and signaled the mushroom friends to come over and play.

Kil rolled his eyes and let this guy do whatever he wanted.

The experiences of these days have eliminated a lot of his previous eagerness and anxiety. No matter how much he cursed, talked nonsense, or attacked like crazy in the dream camp, he could not leave here safely.

Anger and fear, restlessness and impatience were all released by him in the first few days.

After all, the dreamland is an extremely quiet place. No matter how much he yells or makes nonsense, he will be alone.

Sometimes, Kiel even wanted to call the owner of the dream, Ms. Apolifina, to come out and ask that lady to help him get through this difficulty.

But every time he wanted to call out to the sky, he couldn't.

The last time I called out to the lady, it could be said that I was helpless when I was about to die. But now he was just trapped here, because the place he went out was surrounded by deadly flames, so he begged the lady to appear and help him.

Kil dare not.

He is afraid that the woman who has helped him a lot will look down on him and feel that the abilities and resources he invested before were invested in the wrong person, thus taking it all back.

Then he's finished.

After all, he didn't even have a heart in his chest at this time. He relied on the elf ring that the lady had used to help him promote blood circulation throughout his body.

So when faced with the little goblin's mischief, Kil snorted a puff of air from his nose, closed his eyes, and let the little goblin do whatever he wanted.

Isn't he just following a bunch of mushrooms to party on top of his head? What's going on?

It's trivial.

If just dancing on top of his head is too monotonous, Kiel can't help blowing some playful whistles to cheer everyone up.

But this thing still didn't really succeed. Those smart mushroom boys didn't dare to jump on Kil's head to dance. It would be fine if they jumped now, but if they pissed off this human being, they would be finished if he found an opportunity to eat him later.

Therefore, dancing joyfully and wildly is more important than your own life.

There was no other way. In the end, the little fairy had to complete this prank by himself.
