The treasure hunting team entered the mountainous area on its third day. Ahead is a vast mountain forest, with rolling hills and endless mountains as far as the eye can see. Lightning illuminated the sky, and amid the roar of thunder, snow finally began to fall from the dark clouds that had been hanging overhead for more than ten hours. The snow is heavy, and I believe it won’t take too long for the mountains that are already covered in snow to completely turn into a silvery white world. Hei Luobo is not sensitive enough to environmental changes due to his outsider characteristics, but there are enough people in the team to Survival experts who work part-time as experienced guides don’t have to brave the snow. In a large cave that has been cleared, most of the original entrance has been blocked by rocks and trees, leaving only a door for one person to enter and exit. This is the credit of Hei Luobo. His character in this team mainly focuses on a person who is energetic, hard-working, and not willing to give in. Even if you trek for a day, you are still willing to spend a lot of time and energy to make the temporary camp neat and comfortable. He is a bit dull and aloof, and doesn't talk much. Occasionally speaking a few words can easily lead to a boring conversation. He can sit for a long time like a wooden body and a clay sculpture, but his sense of the outside world is normal, even very sensitive, rather than in a daze. At this moment, Hei Luobo was sitting by the campfire in a daze. His seat is very particular. It not only has a backrest, but also armrests, a fur chair cover, and a soft seat cushion. The tiger skin chair of King Shan is just like that.
Diagonally across from him, another team member's seat was much shabby. It was just a relatively flat stone with a skin bag for clothing, which was not comfortable for his buttocks. There was no communication between the two. The team member was concentrating on roasting the bear meat. The meal has already been eaten, now it is time to replenish dry food. The hibernating bear is thick with fat, and fat is constantly dripping into the red burning charcoal, turning into small flames and the scent of oil. This fragrance, this warmth, set off by the falling snow outside the cave and the biting cold wind that pours in from time to time, makes people feel particularly comfortable. Basic needs, not cold, not hungry, safe, happiness will grow. Hei Luobo had forgotten how long it had been since he had enjoyed a similar state of mind, so he felt a little nostalgic and enjoyed it. Of course, vigilance work has not fallen behind, this is a basic quality. Further inside the cave, Harold, Hogan, and Lesley are taking the time to rest. Being able to sleep deeply is also a skill. There is no doubt that every member of this team is proficient in this. road. It's not that they have mastered any tricks, but that they have sufficient control over their respective bodies. This is not an ordinary treasure hunting team, but one with an average level of six per person, and all of them are elite weirdos. Because of this, it was difficult to recruit temporary teammates, allowing Heirobo to seize the opportunity. Three experienced veterans, plus Mo Lin, who is a generation older than the three and can be called an old hunter. This old combination, who have experienced a lot together, is confident that they can easily handle Hei Luobo. Of course, this is an illusion. However, as long as these people are not too shady and Hei Luobo is not prepared to cause trouble within the team, this illusion may be maintained until the treasure hunt is over and they part ways. Lao Mo Lin's skills are exquisite, and the dried meat he makes is soft, chewy and chewy because the moisture in the meat is forced out and the fat is soaked in it. It can be stored for a long time, and it is also a pleasure to watch its skillful operation. Time slipped by quietly, the snow had stopped, but the dark clouds had not dispersed, and the night fell early.
The wilderness that was originally quiet and cold began to transform into a mysterious place. This is also the reason why the team found a cave to stay in early. The wilderness in this area is very unfriendly to humans. It is said to be because of a curse. The last Elf Kingdom, the World Tree it supported, and the Elf King who spoke for it when it was burned, The area was cursed, saying that humans would never be able to live and breed here. This is already a very ancient thing, and most human beings have forgotten this matter until now. It's the kind of oblivion where legends are not even circulated among the people, and professional scholars have to look for relevant information from documents. Hei Luobo suspected that there were contributions from gods and strange people here, but this was obviously not the point. The point was, Most people have no interest in settling in such a thankless place, and there are indeed some extraordinary resources here. As for the curse issue, Hei Luobo felt that his outsider status could easily avoid it. Old Molin put away a batch of barbecues on the campfire, took out a leather bag with serious pulp near the opening from the bag in the corner, opened it, took out bottles and jars, and began to mix the magic paint. Blood and sulfur are used, and they need to be heated appropriately. The taste is very strong. Then he unfolded a piece of magic-treated leather and began to write on it. Black Robb didn't recognize that kind of writing. According to Harold, it was the writing of elves. Not only does it look beautiful and has a unique charm, it can also communicate the power of nature. However, the origin of the world has long been drained, the way of heaven has been distorted, and nature has long lost its original solemnity and sanctity, and has become a prostitute who can dress up as she pleases as long as someone is willing to invest. Naturally, this elven script that once communicated between heaven and earth was buried in the pile of old papers over the years. The treasure hunting team turned it out again. It was obviously playing the trick of "using the enemy to defeat the enemy", and it had proven to be very effective the night before. This was considered to be well prepared. After tracing the words, hang it on the top wall of the cave entrance. After a while, it will connect the world and the earth, naturally forming the effect of a tassel air curtain, which can isolate the inside and outside and ensure a safe night. Hei Luobo didn't ask what would happen to him at night if he didn't do this. His current personality is that he talks less, does less, has fewer problems, and is full of energy and loves to work. What's more, he really isn't in a hurry to know what's weird here. Since he has planned to settle down deep in this area for a long time, the local ox and snake gods will have to meet him sooner or later. And most of them are mountain elves, wild monsters, wandering ghosts, and the like who win by quantity. Otherwise, it would not be strange people of Harold's level who come to hunt for treasures. Extraordinary isolation, the air curtain does not affect the air circulation inside and outside. Even if the time is longer, you will not feel suffocated in the cave. The disadvantage is that the smell will also spread with the air circulation, which will inevitably attract night hunters who follow the smell. This is the main reason for keeping watch at night. It is easier said than done, but the key point is not to successfully drive or kill them, but how to drive or kill them without revealing their "human touch".
Therefore, Hei Luobo was paired with Lao Mo. Lao Mo has rich experience and can handle all technical aspects. Hei Luobo plays the role of a coolie-type thug and works under orders. The night before was relatively peaceful. This was a simple matter of probability. After leaving the nest, night hunters always had to wander around for a while before they could smell the scent and then follow it back. Near midnight, a strange beast came to the door. It was misled by the elven curtain and couldn't find the way, but it refused to leave and wandered nearby. Old Mo Lin spoke: "This silly-faced beast has great vitality and can easily attract evil spirits. Is there any way you can kill it with one blow without leaving the hole?" Hei Luobo glanced at Old Molin and nodded silently. Then he stood up and took the gun parts from his bag. When Herobo purchased outdoor camping supplies and firearms in the large town in the northern part of Stunvania in the Kingdom of Irulan, it could be said that he went from empty-handed to fully armed, but the quality was average. But by the time we get here, both outdoor products and firearms have been digested and streamlined, and they have exclusive features. At least they are qualified wilderness hunters. This is also one of the reasons why the treasure hunting team is willing to recruit Hei Luobo into the team. You don’t need to be fooled, just look at the utensils used to get a rough estimate of the professionalism. "Click! Click!" After some assembly, the original rifle turned into a sniper with a hideous appearance. Although the technology of this world is stagnant in the steam age, the concept of 'sniper' has evolved in terms of weapons. Of course, Hei Luobo's related concepts are still ahead of the times, but they are not exaggerated. After all, there are supernatural beings who allow unreasonable bypassing of many technological difficulties, so there is no shortage of ideas of steel + shooting in Strangers. A special bullet thicker than a thumb is inserted, and the enchantment and inscription effects are all activated. Then there are a series of magical effects of the big gun. The entire gun is shining with several colors of light. The specific effects include silence, recoil reduction, increased accuracy, power, etc. To put it bluntly, this is a compound magic weapon, and it is an attack with a relatively long forward swing time, similar to a charged attack. The overall effect is good, and it is natural and reasonable. Hei Luobo held the gun and took aim for a while, choosing the moment he thought was appropriate. "Poof!" A gunshot rang out. The bullet entered the silly-faced beast's forehead and flew out near the butt. The hole it entered was about four inches in diameter, and the hole it exited was larger than an adult's fist. If he didn't say a word, he would immediately fall down and die. Old Molin projected a sickle with a rope at the right time, stuck the body, pulled it three times and dragged it into the hole. Old Mo Lin was somewhat dissatisfied. Hei Luobo's method was too rough. A bullet twisted the inside of the body of the lion-sized Mianshou into a mess, and his internal organs were far more than broken. In this case, the organs and even the flesh and blood will inevitably be contaminated, and it will be much more troublesome to deal with. Hei Luobo didn't care about that. His character is not that of a caring tool man, but a strange shooter with his own problems. This is in line with his life situation in which he is in his prime but has to sleep and join the wild life, and it is also easier to play.
Harold, Hogan, and Lesley were woken up by the sudden increase in the smell of blood and feces in the cave, and it was time to change values. So not long after, Hei Luobo went to sleep holding his gun and clothes. Old Maureen seemed to have a sense of ownership. He obviously wanted to finish dealing with the silly-faced beast before resting. That night, Hei Luobo couldn't sleep well. When he was awakened, the situation outside was chaotic. After asking, he learned that a small probability incident had occurred. The pickled flesh and blood viscera that leaked out during the dragging process of the silly-faced beast he killed the night before attracted small scavenging animals. Then the critters attracted predators. Predators attract night hunters who possess certain characteristics of monsters. The moonlight filtered through the clouds, illuminating the woods even brighter. Now it has simply developed into a blood-slaughter feast. Evil spirits, aberrant beasts and the like have all arrived, carefully confronting each other while feasting on food. Hei Luobo was awakened by the life fluctuations of evil spirits and monsters. In fact, he had noticed it a long time ago, but in order to fit the character, he originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, but now, it would look fake if he pretended anymore. After observing the external situation, Hei Luobo had a more concrete understanding of his bad luck. It must be said that if their group is exposed in this situation, then if this small team wants to survive, he can only expose most of his strength. Fortunately among the misfortunes, until daybreak, no evil spirit accidentally touched the stone walls and noticed that there was something abnormal in the cave. The five people in the small team just suffered for a few hours with anxiety. After experiencing this incident, Hogan and Lesley even backed down. In the words of Hogan's complaint: "Our intelligence is still bad. There are pseudo-legendary-level aberrations in this area, and ancient evil spirits that are not inferior to them. This is too exaggerated. If we encounter any one, we will have it." The risk of group destruction!” Lesley also agreed: "Yes, if they hadn't happened to be attracted to each other, and the entrance to this cave was in a tricky position, we would have probably been exposed even if there was an elf skin in the moon. This is already a warning of fate. All the volunteers must survive this time. I'm afraid they won't be so lucky next time. " Harold said expressionlessly: "We have invested too much in this project. If we can't get what we want, the accumulation of the past ten years will basically be in vain." Hogan and Lesley were silent. The accumulation in the past ten years that Harold mentioned was not only the wealth including equipment, but also the skills they learned during this period and the improvement of their strength. Maybe some people don’t understand that if great power is attributed to oneself, it can also be converted? Of course you can. As long as you think, you can quantify and make wealth, especially in this world. Learning costs money, practicing costs money, books, medicines, teachers, various daily expenses when you are out of work, etc. Since they can all be monetized, then because of this project, they owe a lot of loans and have to repay it. Is this a disguised form of spitting out all the wealth they invested in themselves in the past ten years? This does not include the time cost.
After the debt is paid off, they will all reach the age of old Molin, and there is a high probability that old Molin will not be able to use his remaining energy. If you fail to make money during your prime years and have no pension when it’s time to retire, you can imagine how miserable you will be for the rest of your life. Can you recognize it? Some people say that living is the greatest happiness. This is either true or not. For a humanoid cow and horse who has never seen the world and has never left his birthplace more than fifty kilometers in his life, this is barely true. But for extraordinary people like Harold, who have enjoyed luxury and seen high-altitude scenery, the lower limit of basic decency in life is higher than that of a human-shaped cow or horse. See how simple it is to be able to think. Moreover, their life experiences also determine that they cherish life more, but they are not as afraid of death as ordinary people. After all, you are taking risks for a living, and you must have seen a lot of life and death. If you see a lot of things, you will be able to take it lightly. As a bystander, Heirobo felt that he had a very profound theoretical understanding of the difficulties Harold and the others faced. In a society with solidified classes, the most common phenomenon is increasingly severe polarization and the middle class returning to poverty. People like Harold and others, in his opinion, are typical middle-class people returning to poverty. Of course, with Harold's knowledge, they would probably not be aware of this, and would blame themselves for the main problems. Looking back on the past, I was young and frivolous, did not work hard enough, missed opportunities, etc. Right? All right! They just didn't notice that the solidification of classes has led to an increasingly low fault tolerance rate in society as a whole. This comprehensive stage is becoming increasingly unfriendly to many life players. What was originally a healthy competition has turned from vicious to a lottery mode·——· That's too far. As a result, the group of people reunited their cognitive caliber and continued their adventure with full energy. This is the reason why people's happiness is different. For Hei Luobo, it is just a performance trip, but for Harold and the others, it is a struggle that risks their wealth and lives.
