Broad World

Seven days passed in a flash. In the past few days, Henry made a total of six bottles of healing potions for minor injuries, two bottles of hypnotic potions, and two bottles of blessing potions. Both of them and Kagan carried half of it. He also copied four first-level spell scrolls, Grease, Burning Hand, Magic Missile, and Shadow. The magic scroll prepared two pieces of Faith Armor, one piece of Stone Power and two pieces of Entanglement. \u003c material, and perform the ritual. After the ceremony, a pickle called Louise was obtained. This is a small humanoid being, about the size of an adult's hand. It has a pair of wings for fast flight. Speaks in the Sylvan language and is proficient in lockpicking and scouting. Due to its small size, it is a good helper for some fine magic experiments. However, Henry felt that the fundamental reason why he summoned Louis was because of another professional druid.

After looking at Henry's backpack and weapons and finding nothing wrong, the dwarf said: "The last inspection, everything is complete. The bow and crossbow are stringed. Let's go!" After speaking, Cagan stood up and walked out. Henry followed and walked out of the room. A week of rest is finally over. "Good luck," the old dwarf on the first floor yelled when he saw the two.

"Thank you, I will come and see your old guy next time I pass by here," he said. Cagan waved his hand without looking back. "Thank you, Mr. Bantley, and I wish you a prosperous business." Henry said as he turned his head and bowed slightly. In Henry's view, politeness is a good disguise to make others lower their vigilance. After all, he is not that rookie boy who is only 14 years old.

Leaving the gate of the friendly arm, the two headed north. Henry hung the crossbow on his waist, and the bag of crossbow bolts was tied behind his back. The spear is held in the hand and used as a crutch with the tip of the hair upward. Several vials of potion are inserted in the belt so that they can be accessed at any time. Cagan wore a horned helmet, an ax on his waist, a sturdy foreskin wooden handle on his left shoulder, and a luggage bag on his right shoulder. He didn't use a shield originally, this one was specially prepared for this mission. Burgs can spray acid. Iron shields are poorly resistant to corrosion, so the dwarves custom-made one at the Friendly Arm.

When it was almost noon, the two decided to sit down and rest for a while. "According to our current speed, we will be able to eat in the digger village tomorrow afternoon. Now is the time when the diggers are in estrus in spring, and they are very aggressive now. Be careful when you are on the road. Once you are caught by the huge mouthparts If you stay here, you will definitely die." During the break, Cagan hurriedly told Henry about the dangers of the mission, but he was terrified by the injury a few days ago.

"I know Cagan, I have already experienced two battles, and I am no longer the rookie who was dazed in the battle." Henry nodded helplessly. The old dwarf also felt that Henry had matured a lot since he was injured. Especially that fight with hobgoblins. The magic is very appropriate. Although most dwarves don't like magic unless it's enchanted onto weapons and armor. At noon, Henry made 2 gallons of water, put the dried meat and the mushrooms picked in the woods in a pot and stewed them briefly. After eating something, the two continued on their way.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, they reached the outskirts of the village, and Henry could already see the houses and smoke from afar. "We're almost there, and we have to be careful from now on. At any moment, the diggers will come out of the soil and attack you suddenly." After speaking, Cagan took the shield from his back and clenched it with his left hand. Then he drew the ax out of his belt.

Seeing that the dwarf warriors were getting ready for battle, Henry quickly took off the crossbow on his waist and put in a crossbow. The spear was also gripped tightly, no longer holding it as a crutch. Pixie Louise was sent to the front for reconnaissance due to her small stature and agility. After a while, he flew back to report the situation ahead to Henry.

Henry frowned and said, "Kagan, we're in trouble. Louise told me that the dirt road ahead was turned over in a mess. I think there should be two diggers."

The dwarf was taken aback. "Two? Damn, that's not good news. There are only two of us. It's best to deal with one at a time. If there are too many, it will be a little dangerous." After speaking, he stroked his beard and began to think of a way.

"I think you can set up a trap, first prepare a grease technique. Then you go to lure the two bugs over, and then cast an entanglement technique. Their shells are very smooth and fall, and they are entangled in grass and vines. It is difficult to stand up. This way we can kill them one by one. What do you think." Henry thought for a while and made a suggestion.

"It's a good idea, you can try it." The dwarf warrior himself is not a person who likes to use his brains, and he immediately agreed after seeing it.

Now that there is no problem with the plan, the two began to implement it. The dwarven warriors unloaded their unnecessary load and began to run forward. The Jedi were basically blind. Mainly rely on the vibration of the ground to confirm the enemy's position. It wasn't long before Cagan ran back. While running, I shouted: "Henry! They're coming right behind me." Then I saw two three-meter-long green worms waving their huge mouthparts and chasing after them.

The "Grease" spell, which had been prepared for a long time, was cast. It accurately skipped the dwarf running in front, and a large piece of magic grease appeared behind. The two worms slipped and fell, and they couldn't get up no matter how hard they struggled. After casting the spell, Henry threw the short spear in his hand directly, and hit one of the fragile jaws. The big bug that was hit screamed and began to struggle desperately. When you see the target hit, you will immediately start to focus on casting spells, and you will be ready to finish after a few seconds. The "entanglement technique" instantly grew countless strong grasses on the ground and pulled the two worms to the ground. During the struggle, one of the short spears collided with the ground and was instantly inserted into the brain and died. Cagan, who had been protecting Henry from casting spells, saw that there was only one left, so he threw the ax in his hand and hit his abdomen directly, splashing green juice everywhere. The two quickly hid far away.

It didn't take long for the effect of the spell to disappear, and the life of the bug whose stomach was broken by the opening also came to an end. Cagan slowly approached the corpse while holding the shield on his short legs. He touched the two bugs with the shield, and was relieved when he found that there was no movement. Picking up his axe, he shook the disgusting green slime and shouted at Henry, "They're all dead, come here and let us deal with the shells. As long as the hardest pieces on the front of the head and back are useless, the rest are useless."

Seeing that there was no danger, Henry came over, pulled the spear out of his jaw, and rubbed it vigorously under his boots. Then began to observe the insects. The front end of the huge head is a mouth, and the external mouthparts on it are like a pair of pliers. Once the dense sawtooth is clamped, it will make you feel worse than death. Most of the abdomen has no hard armor, and the hardest part of the body is the head and several carapaces near here.

After observing, he took out the dagger and started to clean up with Cagan. The stomach and lower body were cut off directly, and then all the viscera and belly of the upper body were dug out. Only the skull and some of the hardest shells on the back remain. Then two gallons of water were made to wash the shells, and they tied them with string. The earth digging worm's shell wasn't heavy, but its defense was not inferior to steel armor. It could be said to be a good material that was both light and hard, and it also had a certain resistance to acid.

Cagan carried the processed shell on his back and immediately felt better. "Haha, I got 1,000 gold coins. Moradin bless you, this is a good sign. If we have enough booty, we will hire a carriage when we return. You did a great job just now, although I don't know any magic. But it feels like Elminster is possessed." The dwarf obviously started to get over excited and slapped his ass one after another.

"Kagan, I don't think we can kill too many bugs. This village relies on digger bugs to keep plowing the ground to keep the land fertile and produce a good crop. We can't disrupt the balance of nature." Henry shook his head helplessly. . What the dwarf said was obviously impossible. As a druid, if he really drove out these bugs, he would probably lose his job.

"Damn, if you don't tell me, I've forgotten that you are a child of nature. Forget it, let's go to the village to rest for a night, and by the way, ask the druid in charge of this place how many can be killed." Cagan heard that he couldn't be angry with the bugs Sha Te Sha was immediately frustrated.

It didn't take long for the two to come to the village, and after a brief inquiry, they came to Brown's farm, planning to spend the night here. Because the whole village belongs to Brown's farm and house is the largest. When he came to Brown's house, Henry saw a fifty-year-old farmer working in the field. Henry hurried up to say hello.

"Hello, is this Mr. Brown? We are adventurers who came here to hunt burrowers. I want to stay with you for one night. We will pay for the accommodation and dinner."

The old man nodded. "Yes, I'm Brown. It's no problem to stay overnight. My house is big and there are enough rooms. One silver coin per person includes dinner." He immediately agreed when he saw that there was money to be made. Dinner is bread, mashed potatoes and a pot of stewed chicken, which is very hearty. After eating, the three sat around the fireplace and chatted.

The old man stroked his hair and said, "I have a son who is as old as you. A few days ago, he followed his mother to the city to sell agricultural products. In recent years, the number of diggers has become particularly large, so the road is very dangerous." .”

"Aren't there druids here all the time controlling their number?" Henry asked a little puzzled when he heard the news.

"A druid named Zeti is here, but one person's strength is limited after all. Diggers are not something ordinary adventurers can handle, especially in the past few years when many adventurers died. In Chongzi's hands, no one dared to come in the past two years."

Henry hurriedly asked: "Where does that druid live? We want to ask him to find out about the number of diggers here."

Brown pointed out the window. "Just a little northwest of the farm, where she built a tree house."
