In the quiet forest, Adil stood in the same place, holding a green solid in his right hand.
The green solid was dug out from the body of the Green-eyed Snake. It looked like a stone and was stained with green snake blood. It looked a bit disgusting.
Looking at the green snake stone, Adil thought for a moment. He wiped off the snake blood, and after confirming that it was not poisonous, he pinched a bit and put it in his mouth.
"Ding! Effective substance detected. After eating a hundred stones, your constitution will increase by 0.1. "
The information in his mind made Adil happy.
"Are there many of these snakes around?" Adil thought for a moment and asked the hunter behind him.
The middle-aged hunter wearing an animal skin robe was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect Adil to ask such a question. Then, he quickly responded, "There are quite a lot of these Green-eyed Snakes around here. They can be seen quite often, but if you want to find more of them, you'll have to go deeper into the forest. That's the habitat of these snakes.
He looked at the snake stone in Adil's hand and asked tentatively, "Sir, do you want this kind of snake stone? If you do, I can help you get some. "
Adil turned around and looked at him in surprise, "There are snake stones for sale around here? Don't they say that Green-eyed Snakes are poisonous? "
"Although these Green-eyed Snakes are poisonous, their meat is very delicious. These snake stones are also a very valuable medicinal ingredient, so experienced hunters often come here to catch them."
The middle-aged hunter explained to Adil, "If you are willing to pay a high price, there are many experienced hunters around here to serve you. I believe you will be able to catch some in no time."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Adil did not hesitate much about this matter. After thinking about it, he agreed to the proposal.
A hundred snakes was not a small number. If Adil were to catch them by himself, it would take a long time. Having someone to help him buy them was also a good thing.
They talked for a while and quickly reached an agreement. Adil offered a high price of one gold coin for each snake and asked the hunter to help him buy them.
The life of a commoner in this world was not easy. A single gold coin was enough to sustain a family for a month. It was definitely a high price for the hunters.
As the heir to the Baron, Adil's servants would send him money every month to maintain his life, but it was only about one to two hundred gold coins a month.
Now that the deal was done, the Hunter on the side had a look of joy on his face. The few followers around him also had looks of envy on their faces.
It could be expected that when this Hunter went to trade with others, he would definitely take a cut from that gold coin.
However, Adil didn't care about this. This was human nature. He only wanted those materials that he could get his hands on. As for how those materials were obtained, he didn't want to ask.
"Alright, we've finished checking this area. Let's go to the next place."
After carefully searching the place, Adil looked around and said to the others behind him.
After searching for such a long time, other than some traces of the Violent Hilly Bear's activity, there was nothing special.
According to the analysis of the A.I. Chip, these traces were from a week or two ago. Based on the Violent Hilly Bear's characteristic of roaming around, it could have gone to other places by now.
Adil brought the others back to the place where the horses were tied and prepared to check out other places.
Lightly stroking the black horse, Adil's eyes suddenly focused, and the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind.
[Beep! Detected an unknown aura. Analysis: Adult male, 3 in number.]
"Someone was here just now!" Adil's mind shook, and he followed the A.I. Chip's analysis and looked to the right.
On the right was a patch of grass. A patch of short grass and trees grew luxuriantly in it. It looked very natural, without any traces of human activity.
However, this was only a facade. According to the A.I. Chip's analysis, there were very shallow footprints in the grass, and there was also a strong aura that spread into the distance.
After discovering this, Adil's expression did not change. His gaze quickly shifted to the horses, as if he had just casually glanced at them.
However, his right hand was secretly placed on the cross blade at his waist, and he felt a little hesitant.
This hesitation did not last long. Very soon, he made a decision, and the cross blade in his right hand was put down naturally.
He was not the original owner of this body, nor was he a die-hard fan of Count Boria. He had no intention of dying for him.
If it was a normal mission, it would be fine. However, this kind of life and death battle was not beneficial to Adil.
Adil stroked the black horse in Silence, but he was secretly using the A.I. Chip to check the horse's condition.
This was a precaution. Although he did not want to fight to the death with the other party, the other party might not have the resolve to do so. Who knows, they might take advantage of the time they were away to do something.
[Beep! Horse's body is in good condition, no abnormal reactions.]
The A.I. Chip's prompt sounded in his mind, and Adil relaxed slightly.
"Let's go."
He got on his horse, and as if he had not discovered anything, he led the few people behind him forward, preparing to patrol and investigate the next location.
After a period of time, it was confirmed that Adil had gone far away. At the original location, three people walked out from the bushes nearby.
They were dressed in emerald green tights, and their movements were quick and agile. In this area, they were concealed by the surrounding scenery, and it was very difficult to discover them.
"Why didn't you kill them just now?" Looking at Adil and the others in the distance, a man with a face full of stubble asked the youth beside him in confusion.
The youth was also dressed in green tights, but he was much more handsome than the bearded man, and the expression on his face was also very calm.
"These people are here to investigate the situation in this area. If we were to make a move, we would eventually arouse their suspicions, and it is very likely that our arrangements will be exposed."
"And even if we were to really make a move, with just the three of us, it's not certain who will be the one to kill who in the end."
After explaining, the youth looked in the direction in which Adil and the others had gone, and said with a solemn expression.
"That can't be?" The bearded man had a look of disbelief. "With just a few ordinary people and a noble child still drinking milk in a woman's arms? I can kill all of them by myself. "
"That's not an ordinary noble child." At this moment, another person spoke up with a similarly solemn expression. "That's Adil Farcus, a famous Knight genius in this area."
"This isn't a boasted genius, but the kind that has been on the battlefield. I heard that half a year ago, he was about to reach the standard of advancing to a Knight, and he's probably not far from activating his life seed now. "
At this point, there was a hint of fear in the man's tone. "With this kind of strength, unless a real Knight comes, it's impossible to keep him here, not to mention the three of us."
"Alright, let's end things here for today. The most important task now is to set up the front base so that the follow-up people can come over. "
… …
When the three people appeared at the back, Adil was walking back the way he came from with the others.
Because it was almost noon, the sun in the sky was very big.
Adil observed for a moment, then ordered the group to find an abandoned village and prepare to rest for a while.
After walking in, Adil tied up the horse under the shade of a tree, then walked in and sized up the scene inside.
Although it was called an abandoned village, in fact, the buildings inside were still very new, and some places were not very dusty. There were obvious signs of habitation, and it seemed that people had lived here not long ago.
This was actually one of the villages that had been massacred by the Violent Mountain Bear some time ago.
There were damaged and collapsed buildings everywhere, as if they had been hit by some giant beast, and they looked fragmented. In some corners that were not easy to clean up, there were some dried bloodstains that had not been cleaned up, adding a vague sense of blood to the entire scene.
Standing here, Adil scanned the surroundings with some vigilance. His good vision and the prompts of the chip in his mind allowed him to easily discover some traces of abnormality in the surroundings.
After confirming that there were no hidden dangers, they found a place and prepared to rest for a while.
The hunter at the side skillfully found some kitchen utensils that could still be used, such as a big pot and some tableware. After washing them slightly, they could use them on the spot.
Soon, in a house that was still intact, there was a big pot filled with thick soup, and the smell of meat kept coming out of it. The people around couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
In the soup were some of the prey that Adil and the others had caught before, including the green-eyed snake. It was also skinned and put into the soup, and it was cooked together with the other ingredients.
As usual, one of the followers handed the best snake meat to Adil, then silently sat where he was, looking at Adil with eager eyes.
Seeing that the people around him were looking at him, Adil said casually, "Let's eat it together."
The people around him heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly took their tableware and prepared to eat. However, their movements were very light, as they were afraid that they would disturb Adil.
After lunch, they rested where they were for a while, and prepared to leave for the next place to patrol.
Before they left, as if sensing something, Adil suddenly frowned.
In his mind, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded.
[Beep! Detected an aura of an adult male, 3 in number.]
