The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

"I said, can the human children over there rescue us first and then discuss the life story of handsome Otto?"

The white goblin Otto, who was tightly entangled by black vines, seemed to have reached some kind of reconciliation with his fellow goblins for the time being. He finally put down his tattered backpack that was stabbed by a wooden sword and turned to the whispering Laya and Fran. The two waved.

"Huh? Oh, oh, sorry, sorry."

Realizing that they had been discovered by the person involved in talking about others behind their backs, Raya and Fran suddenly blushed.

After going through some difficult cutting.

(The two of them ran out of energy midway, and even Bill was dragged over by Laya to help, and Otto was rescued)

"Phew, I finally don't have to spend the night with these damn vines. Damn it, it's about to strangle Otto's ass!"

Otto, the white goblin who escaped from bondage, patted his torn clothes and shouted dissatisfied.

After seeing the small holes in his pants, the angry white goblin businessman immediately turned around and kicked the black plants that had been cut into sections.

"Mr. Otto, why are you here and trapped?"

Raya squatted on the stone, looking at the back of the little goblin flashing in the sky, and asked curiously.

The two parties had already exchanged name information with each other during the rescue, and Laya also told each other about the trial between the three.

However, according to legend, the white goblin named Otto and his companion goblin ranger "Cookie" usually appear in the middle and deep parts of the Ibi Forest, and rarely appear in the outer areas. This also makes Raya and Fran was very curious as to why the other party appeared here.

"Oh, don't mention it, it will be a shame for my life."

Otto opened the large backpack that was almost as tall as the others, and while sorting out the items, he muttered:

"We were originally looking for a strange material called [Suspended Stone] deep in the forest, and we have already found it."

Having said this, he quietly glanced at the little goblin who was still vigilant in the sky. After making sure that the other person's attention was not here, he continued in a low voice:

"It's all the fault of Cookie. I must have smelled an evil abyss smell and shouted to fight it off, but in the end..."

"What's the result?"

Laya asked curiously.

Otto shrugged helplessly and said while taking out strange-looking instruments from his backpack:

"What else could there be? When I arrived at the place she mentioned, as expected, I only saw an adult green dragon. There was no abyss aura, not even a hair on it!"

Speaking of this, Otto gestured with bulging muscles and said proudly:

"If it weren't for preventing Cookie from being corroded into dregs by the poisonous dragon's breath, I would have rushed forward and cut the green dragon into pieces."

"So, you used the random teleportation scroll to escape?"

Fran fiddled with the body of the black stone vine (the type of vine that entangled Otto just now), used a branch to pick out a torn magic scroll, and smiled at the white goblin Otto.

Suddenly, Otto's originally fair face flashed with a trace of rosy color after his lie was exposed.

But he still pretended to be impatient and retorted:

"What's running away? That's called strategic transfer. You, a human child, are so rude."

"Um"

Fran curled her lips and threw away the fragments of the scroll.

"To be honest, I have been in this place for decades and I have never seen any abyssal creatures. This guy Biscuit must have reached menopause and wants to find something for me to do."

Otto grumbled while packing the items in his backpack and complained:

"Oh! Damn it, that damn green dragon broke five bottles of my alchemy potion, causing me to lose hundreds of gold coins."

At this moment, a swift figure suddenly fell from the sky and kicked Otto on the earlobe.

"Ouch!"

Along with Otto's scream of pain, a gentle voice also sounded:

"You idiot, my [Perceptual Mind] is infallible. There must be monsters from the abyss here."

A little man with dragonfly wings and less than twenty centimeters tall was clearly revealed in front of everyone for the first time.

Her petite body is eye-catching, but surprisingly, her voice is as gentle and powerful as coming from a mature woman in her thirties.

The body of this little goblin named Cookie is basically similar to that of a human. On his delicate facial features, his passionate orange-red long hair flutters in the wind.

She was wearing a smart outfit made of bark and green leaves, and on her feet were long boots with curved tips made of yellow fallen leaves.

Based on the shape of her chest and her voice, it can be basically determined that this is a female goblin.

I just don’t know why the warrior elf, who lacks enthusiasm and compassion and is aggressive and tenacious, abandons his home and chooses to travel with a white goblin merchant.

Behind the cookie, the four light green dragonfly wings vibrated rapidly, constantly making a buzzing sound similar to that of a hummingbird.

This is also the basis for allowing that small body to hover in the air.

The transparent wings reflect a hazy dreamlike color under the sunlight, making people want to sink into it.

"Is this the little fairy? She's really petite."

Raya and Fran carefully observed the appearance of the little fairy cookie and thought with some wonder in their hearts.

When they rescued Otto from Black Stone Vine, because Cookie flew too fast, they basically only saw a blurry afterimage, and did not observe in detail the appearance of this fey creature that they had only seen in textbooks.

"Okay, okay, was it me or you who was blind before? Do you want to say that the green dragon is actually an abyss demon wearing dragon skin?"

"Also, can you stop making sneak attacks all the time? Your heroic spirit is here!"

Otto, the white goblin, covered his red earlobes and loudly accused his companions of the attack.

"Hmph, I just sensed it anyway."

The little goblin snorted coldly, put the long wooden sword less than five centimeters long into the scabbard at his waist, then flew to the top of Otto's head and sat down on the brim of his flat leather hat.

"Then you should find it. You must always provide evidence when doing things!"

Otto was so angry at her attitude that he was numb, but he still subconsciously pushed his hat down slightly, and then shouted dissatisfied.

"snort!"

Cookie tilted his head, saying that he didn't want to pay attention to this hateful guy who didn't believe in him.

"Cough cough cough"

After watching the show for a long time, Fran finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After she coughed twice and successfully attracted everyone's attention, she looked at the legendary white goblin merchant who traveled throughout the Ibi Forest and said:

"Mr. Otto, let's put the matter about the abyss aside for now."

"Now we have a very troublesome problem and we need your help."

Otto was stunned for a moment, and then he patted his head in realization.

"Help? Oh, you mean your trial mission, right?"

Unfortunately, he forgot that there was a passenger still sitting on his hat.

Just when Otto's palm was about to fall on the cookie.

“┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~”

Otto, whose palm was stabbed by the wooden sword, screamed again.

"Damn cookie, \u0026*￥% I want to duel with you!"

thirty minutes later

"Hey, let's look at the Kangkang map. You are looking for a fourth-level monster, right?"

Otto, who had a bruised nose and face, sat by the campfire and spoke a little slurred. (mouth is swollen)

While eating the heated jerky handed over by Raya, he recalled the information about the monsters around him.

Laya and Fran, who were sitting opposite him, looked at Bill curiously.

At this time, the little fairy cookie was flying next to Bill. The two were talking about something, and Bill also had a rare smile on his face.

"Tell me, what are they talking about?"

Raya pouted in amusement, hugged her knees with her hands, gently touched Fran beside her with her elbow and asked.

"how could I know."

Fran rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "If you want to know, just ask."

Hearing this, Laya buried her face in her knees with some embarrassment:

"Oh, I'm just curious, let's talk"

"hehe."

Fran sneered expressionlessly, having already seen through this duplicitous friend.

During the exchange between the two, Otto finally compiled information about nearby monsters suitable for hunting:

"According to your needs, I have marked basically all the fourth-level monsters around here for you. However, judging from your appearance, you should not be able to deal with the swarm monsters, so I will screen them out for you."

Otto unfolded a map, called Fran and others to him, pointed at the red marks and said seriously:

"Here, walk about thirty kilometers southwest from here. There is a ferocious horned bull here. It should have just been promoted to the fourth level."

"This is the lair of a fourth-level spiny-tailed flying dragon, but I heard from the group of tree spirits that she is pregnant recently and may be more violent."

"By the way, there is a multi-headed basilisk living in a muddy swamp nearby. It should be a fourth-level monster or above, but I haven't checked it specifically."

Otto Linlang said a dozen messages in total, all of which were not too powerful fourth-level monsters, which opened the eyes of both Laya and Fran.

You know, there are many areas here that they have walked through, but they have not found any fourth-level monsters living in them.

"Perhaps they sensed the scent of the instructor nearby and didn't dare to come out, right?"

Fran thought secretly in her heart.

Raya didn't think much of it.

"There are so many fourth-level monsters, which one should we choose?"

She looked at the map that had been re-marked with a dozen red dots and shouted excitedly.

At this moment, Bill seemed to have ended the conversation and walked over with the little goblin named Cookie.

After the three discussed for a long time, they finally set their target on the fourth-level monster - [Ferocious Horned Ox].

Although ferocious monsters are more aggressive, except for a few races of fourth-level monsters, which one is not extremely ferocious?

Moreover, the Dire Horned Ox is a solitary land creature due to its personality, and there are usually no higher-level monsters around it, making it very suitable for hunting with traps.

Like the Thorn-tailed Flying Dragon, ordinary ground traps have no effect on it, and the three of them are not good at no-fly enchantment magic.

You must know that the most difficult thing about flying dragon monsters is their flying ability. Usually adventurers will actively avoid such troublesome flying monsters when exploring.

Relatively speaking, monsters living on land are easier to kill than flying monsters and ocean monsters.

As for why not find the hydra, which is also a solitary creature?

Do not make jokes!

It was a terrifying super giant monster.

They have the body of a crocodile, with multiple heads on their long snake-like necks. Their heads can even be regenerated using magic after being cut off.

A typical hydra usually has five or more heads and possesses a breath weapon.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the evil dragon queen Tiamat killed a dragon god named Lenelya and spread her blood across the multiverse.

Every drop of blood spilled in Renair gave birth to a hydra there. The hatred of the fallen god seemed to be left in them, making them dominated by hunger and thirst.

It is said that the greatest gladiators would test their prowess against these terrifying creatures.

Sounds a bit familiar, right?

That's right, this thing actually has a more famous nickname - [Hydra]!

So when Raya and others were looking for a hunting target, it was the first thing they rejected.

They just wanted to complete the test and never thought about replicating the feat that a certain demigod challenged.

Speaking of which, among the twelve trial tasks issued by the old king, one of them was to go to the North Sea to find a Hydra sea monster and chop off its head.

After everyone had a good meal

The time came in the afternoon.

Looking at the white goblin Otto and the little elf Cookie who were packing their packages and preparing to leave, Laya suddenly spoke and asked curiously:

"By the way, how did Mr. Otto and Miss Cookie meet?"

"Um"

Cookie, who was flying in the air, glanced at the curious Laya, then at Otto, who suddenly froze in his movements, shook his head, and said slowly:

"It's just a boring story about one wanderer meeting another wanderer. You won't like it."

"Ah hahaha, yes, yes."

Otto scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Okay~~~"

Seeing that they didn't want to talk, Laya was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

Before leaving, Cookie seemed to have thought of something.

She suddenly flapped her wings, got into Otto's large backpack, and then took out three bottles of green potion with difficulty.

"As a meeting gift, please accept these three bottles of wind potion."

She smiled and put the potion into Bill's hand, while gently patting the boy's hair and whispering something in Elvish.

Bill was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head in embarrassment, with a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face.

Suddenly, this intimate behavior made Laya feel nervous.

Otto, who noticed all this, stared sadly at the three bottles of potion in Bill's hand, and wailed loudly:

"That's the potion I just prepared. It's worth at least 1,000 gold."

Before he could finish his words, Cookie sealed his mouth with a vine he got from nowhere to prevent him from making more lamentations.

"Okay, it's time for us to set off."

Cookie flew back to Otto's head, turned around and said to the three people behind him with a smile.

When Raya saw Cookie's free and easy demeanor that didn't seem to be fake, the worry on her face slowly dissipated.

Under the urging of the elf cookie, Otto reluctantly tore open a positioning teleportation scroll and set off for the next unknown adventure.

"Goodbye, Mr. Otto, Miss Cookie~~"

Raya and Fran watched the two people leaving and waved goodbye.

Bill looked at the three bottles of potion in his hand, remained silent for a long time, and finally murmured:

"Goodbye." (End of chapter)
