Now, the Black Forest was bustling with activity. Dafei had also entered the depths of the forest, away from the rest of the team. At this moment, the Sentinel skill "Stealth Master" began to display its shocking effects – Little Fei was in battle, while Big Fei, who had entered battle at the same time, was still in stealth mode. The crows finally stopped pecking at Big Fei who was under the tree!
This completely subverted the rules of stealth. This meant that the Sentinel class had finally become the infuriating Thief in traditional games! In other words, he could still sneak through other unknown spaces alone?
As expected, skills could change tactics! Alright, I won't be in a hurry to fight the Eight-Headed Serpent. Once things are settled here, I'll sneak over and scout ahead first.
With a clear plan in mind, Dafei's confidence doubled. Killing crows was also very satisfying. The only thing they were worried about now was the final boss behind these crows. Would such a huge commotion in the forest alert the final boss to appear? However, all the Elders had been mobilized. Even if the final boss appeared, they would still be able to fight it, right? It was also good that the boss appeared. It was better to use the Hobbits to surround and attack the boss than to worry about it alone.
Then, there were the Dryads left at the entrance. He wondered how they were doing after a day. In short, he had to clear the area and gather with the rest of the team first. He had to keep in contact with the team stationed in the wild from time to time. Otherwise, they would become wild monsters or run away. Moreover, the wood had to be moved away as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be refreshed by the System after a week.
As time passed, the Hobbits carried their wicker baskets and entered and exited the Spatial Gate. The sound of the logging team echoed in the forest, but the boss did not appear. Dafei returned to the place where the Dryads were stationed.
After a day, the bodies of these Dryads seemed to be coated with a faint layer of silver paint. From afar, they actually flashed with a metallic light. Dafei could not wait to check the attributes of these Dryads.
There was some damage to their health, but he could not tell if it was due to the corrosion of mercury or because they had not recovered from the battle with the arachne yesterday. Their stamina was also low. He could not tell if it was due to the mercury or because they had lost health during the battle yesterday. Their attack and defense were normal and their damage remained the same.
In short, he had made it through! Both Titan and the elder were right. Dryads were classified as spiritual creatures, and their resistance to mercury and toxins was much stronger than that of living creatures. Dafei couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. At this rate, it wouldn't be a problem for them to hold out for a few more days. At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind. These Dryads were able to carry, produce, and had great strength. They could be used as workers in the mercury mine.
Speaking of which, the mercury mine workers had the highest and the lowest wages in the game. The wages in the Light Faction were the highest, and no one was willing to do such menial labor. If they bought the puppet workers from the Mage Academy, the cost would be equally high. In the Dark Faction, the wages were indeed the lowest. This was because the miners were all skeletons and zombies. From this point, it could be seen that the Dark Faction had a huge advantage in terms of production.
In any case, although it was still too early to think about the Boss in the Mercury Lake, as a Lord, I had to think ahead and plan ahead. Wahahaha!
Not long after, a white light flashed in the sky!
— System Notice: Congratulations! Your Scout Spirit Eagle Xiao Fei has grown in battle! Attack + 1, Defense + 1, HP + 3, Stamina + 5 Learned a new skill: Dive.
— Dive: Scout Spirit Eagle can launch a dive attack from a high altitude, dealing 2 to 3 times the normal damage. At the same time, it will consume 30% of the Stamina.
Xiao Fei had finally leveled up! As expected, the more he leveled up, the less EXP the crows gained! This time, the stats gained were much more than the previous two levels. Xiao Fei's body also grew bigger.
Dive, the human's Level 4 Gryphon Soldier's special skill that would strike terror in the hearts of people! My Xiao Fei has finally learned it. With this skill, it would be possible for the Scout Eagle to snipe and kill weaker enemies from afar! Of course, the 30% stamina consumption also meant that normal cats and dogs weren't worth the eagle's time.
In short, Xiao Fei had learned everything that an eagle should know. It could be considered as having graduated, right? The next step was to nurture it into adulthood. There was nothing more to say. Now that its stamina was full, kill! Don't stop killing for big brother!
Time flew by in the midst of killing. The remaining crows died one after another, but in the end, Xiao Fei did not continue to level up. Xiao Fei finally ran out of stamina and disappeared back into the Blood Eagle Flute. Although they did not kill all of them, the number of crows had exceeded the Hobbits' ability to clear them away. They had not even finished clearing the crows in the first few forests. It was time to stop.
Dafei returned to the Spatial Passage and saw the Elder who was busy commanding.
The Elder praised, "Mr. Governor, you have really opened my eyes. Although I have seen some Sentinel Heroes when I was young, no one has ever used the eagle like this. It's so glorious!"
Oh yeah! This is what I like to hear. The 200 HP I spent on the child was not in vain! Dafei laughed and said, "My eagle is the elite of the elites. Ordinary people can't compare to me, wahaha!"
The Elder laughed and said, "Mr. Governor, our raft is almost full. I believe that this many crows will be enough to feed that crocodile."
Dafei nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
Ted stepped forward and said, "Sir, there is still some time left. I will stay here and continue to cut wood. I will be back before the mercury steam."
Dafei nodded and said, "Yes, you must pay attention to the time and ensure safety."
。。。。。
Now, Elder Dafei and the others had returned to the swamp. The dozens of rafts around the island were piled up with crows that looked like a small hill. With the Elder's call, all the rafts started moving. It was quite a spectacular scene!
Unfortunately, these rafts were too crude. It was unknown whether one of them could reach the standard of 10 of the smallest cargo ship. In short, the productivity of these Hobbits urgently needed to be improved.
Dafei suddenly noticed that the young man was missing from the crowd and asked, "Where is Bilbo?"
The Elder laughed and said, "Of course he set off to distract the crocodile. Otherwise, if such a large team of ours encountered the crocodile head-on, we would not be able to escape."
Dafei could not help but nod and praise, "Good strategy, Elder!" It seemed that the weaker a race was, the more cautious they were in battle and the better they knew how to use tactics. Dafei's impression of the Hobbits had improved.
Finally, the fleet arrived at an island in the middle of the lake that was piled up with animal bones. The Elder said in a deep voice, "This is where the crocodile rests. Everyone, hurry up and land!"
For a moment, dozens of rafts reached the shore. A group of Hobbits hurriedly moved the corpses of the crows to the island and piled them up into a huge black hill.
While they were busy, a plume of black smoke suddenly rose from the distance. The Elder exclaimed, "Everyone, hurry up! Move them quickly! "
After a while, two plumes of black smoke rose from the distance. The Elder exclaimed, "The crocodile is coming back! Everyone, retreat quickly! Throw away the crows that have not been transported to the island! "
For a moment, the Hobbits boarded the rafts in a hurry and started rowing away. Dafei couldn't help but be astonished at the sight of this! Although these Hobbits were backward, they were still using the communication method of ancient wars to the extreme!
The Elder said to Dafei, "Mr. Governor, let's also stay away from this island and observe from afar. This crocodile is very cunning. Once it discovers that there are people around, it is very likely that an accident will happen."
Dafei nodded. "I'll listen to the Elder's arrangement!"
The Elder lifted a long wooden stick with strange fish bones tied to it from the raft and inserted it deep into the bottom of the lake. Then, he followed the group of rafts and fled far away from the island in the lake. Even with Dafei's god-tier Detection skill, he could not see the island in the lake.
This time, Dafei could not help but be shocked. Did they have to stay so far away? How exaggerated was this crocodile's detection range? In other words, once those who did not know the situation got close, they would not be able to escape when they discovered the danger. How did Bilbo lure it away with such a slow raft? Was it the skill of a Bard?
While Dafei was still in a state of shock, the Elder took out an old glass ball. The glass ball showed the scene of the island in the lake. The angle of view was exactly where the wooden stick was inserted. These Hobbits also had advanced technology?
Now, the Elder and Dafei were staring at the glass ball intently. Soon, a huge wave of water appeared on the glass ball. It was the Giant Crocodile! Its size was really beyond Dafei's imagination. This was completely a yacht! Compared to it, the ones he encountered on the Pirate Island were like babies!
Dafei was stunned on the spot! With such a huge body, even if he teleported the 'Fly' over and fired more than a dozen of them at the same time, he might not be able to take it down. No wonder the Elder said that it was impossible to feed it with the village's food. Its appetite was already imaginable!
However, let's not talk about it anymore. I've prepared a new dish for this crocodile, the Zombie Mercury Crow. I'll poison you to death even if you're not full. I don't believe that you are immune to the poison of mercury. Mercury is a pure metal, and its mechanism of action is different from ordinary poisons. It cannot even be called a poison, and it is not within the range of the 'Poison Resistance' attribute.
Now, the giant crocodile was approaching the shore like a landing ship. The mountain of cadaveric crows on the island attracted its attention. It sniffed the Crow Mountain in front of it. The elder was holding the glass ball. The Elder held the glass ball tightly and Ku Shou could not help but tremble slightly.
However, after a while, the Giant Crocodile suddenly swung its tail and blew the Crow Mountain away!
It did not eat them!
At that moment, Dafei and the Elder were dumbfounded!
What the f * ck! Could it be that there was no such setting in the game, and the Crocodile did not eat the Zombie Crows? But what did it mean by blowing the Crow Mountain away? Did it mean that it did not completely ignore the Crow Mountain?
The Elder's voice trembled slightly: "Mr. City Lord …"
Dafei let out a long sigh: "I'm sorry, Elder, there's nothing I can do. However, I still hope that we can continue our relationship through this cooperation. We still have time, and we can still accumulate strength …"
The Elder laughed: "Actually, this Giant Crocodile is not an ordinary beast. Its strength is also about to reach the level of a Demigod. Its intelligence is also beyond imagination. We originally did not have the confidence to defeat it. We were already prepared to give up the fishery and continue to move to the depths of the swamp. Mr. City Lord's arrival gave me a glimmer of hope. I think, if you can defeat this Demigod level crocodile, then it is entirely possible to defeat the Hydra. It seems that I was thinking too much."
I know you're trying to test my ability! Damn it! Dafei smiled bitterly: "There are so many Demigods here …"
The elder said solemnly, "Challenging a demigod is indeed an unrealistic idea. Although we failed this time, I admire Mr. Castellan's wisdom. We understand Mr. Castellan's intentions. Let us continue to work together in a friendly manner. I believe that Mr. Castellan will definitely find a way to lead us out of this predicament!"
— System Notification: Your Reputation with the Hobbits has become "Friendly"!
At that moment, all the red names turned green!
Dafei could not help but be startled. He immediately recovered and laughed: "Elder, I am very impressed and touched that you do not judge a hero by success or failure. We can be considered friends in times of adversity. This kind of friendship is the most sincere and stable. I want to send my advisor, Mr. Teda, to your village as a diplomatic ambassador to carry out in-depth strategic cooperation. What do you think, Elder?"
The Elder laughed: "It would be my honor!"
Oh yeah! Finally, something big has been settled! As long as the Hobbits are willing to cooperate, once I send my army down, it will only be a matter of time before I destroy the Crocodile and the Hydra!
At that moment, a new situation suddenly appeared on the Elder's glass ball. A large wave of creatures in the water was approaching the island in the middle of the lake!
The Elder was startled: "These are … Scavenging Giant Lizards!"
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. Old friend?
The Elder was surprised: "These giant lizards dare to break into the Giant Crocodile's territory!?"
