Chapter 38 Continue to run
In the early morning, Sharon was awakened by a strange sound again, and was sure that it was from Lu Chen's stomach. Sharon deliberately bit him again, and then got up with satisfaction in the other party's screams.
Lu Chen couldn't sleep anymore. Apart from the prank of a "war beast", he was sore all night long, but when he stood up and was about to move his body, he suddenly felt something was on his mind. An inexplicable sense of crisis quickly climbed into his heart, and then immediately looked in that direction.
The eyes passed through the layers of trees, and a monster with blood on its chest appeared in its left eye. The head of the cat and the orangutan-like body were very strange and strong. The eyes were filled with hatred, which made people feel numb. Fortunately, it may be because it was injured, so it did not intend to come over for the time being, and it seemed to be observing whether they were in danger.
Frowning, taking away the clothes and equipment laid on the ground and the big rocks, Lu Chen went to find Sharon. This strange monster gave him a very bad premonition.
Sharon was preparing to eat. After listening to Lu Chen's description, he immediately threw down the food and pulled him into the woods. While running, he explained that it was a lion beast, and it was of the same level as the lizard dragon beast. The two were just a little different in defense and body shape. Even if it was seriously injured, it would be enough to kill them.
"Haha, it's only the fifth level. It depends on what you are afraid of. Didn't I give you a six-star scroll to defend yourself? Besides, that one was still injured. If you go down a six-star scroll, you can kill it." Lu Chen said a little disapprovingly. He had picked up a big advantage and had no special feeling about the fifth level that was not the Dixinglong, so he let Sharon pull him away.
"Injured! That seems to be a sword injury. Damn it, no wonder it feels bad." Lu Chen suddenly thought of a very scared possibility: the companions of the five trackers were here.
After staying by the small lake for a day, I thought everything was over, but I didn't expect that the enemy's follow-up was only delayed by unknown reasons. I looked at Sharon who was pulling him away, and Lu Chen unconsciously held the holding hand with force, and a strong desire for protection arose.
"What a prodigal son. Don't you know that scrolls of the same level are about three times more expensive than magic cores. You can use six stars to smash the fifth level. You won't give them to me. No matter how much money I say, I... can at least cook for you." Sharon didn't know what Lu Chen was thinking in his heart. He was criticizing his waste. Suddenly, he felt that the other party's hand was tightening. He looked back at him and found that his face was solemn. He didn't know why. He thought what he said made him angry. He quickly changed his words and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. Anyway, the scroll is not invincible, and can only be used to save lives at critical moments. Even if it's range magic, it's useless to not hit the target. The lion and ape beast is very flexible and can jump around on the tree. We have no chance to face it."
Lu Chen didn't explain, and Sharon continued to pull him away, but he was already laughing: "The wealthy lover is the wealthy lover. It seems that he has to work hard to make money in the future, otherwise he might not be able to get her accused." After Sharon interrupted this, Lu Chen felt much better for no reason. As for the hit rate of the scroll, he had known it for a long time, otherwise the battle the night before would not have wasted a trap for a six-star scroll.

In the forest, a team of ten people was making breakfast, and in a large pit not far away, there were countless corpses of monsters.
"Captain, what happened in this forest? Look at the monsters yesterday, and it's okay. Most of them were independent individuals, but they actually ran out to attack us in broad daylight. Some herbivorous monsters rushed over like crazy, which made me worry all night and didn't sleep well. What's that?" A young man with a wolf claw mark on his left breastplate asked the only person in the ten people wearing leather armor.
"Yes, Dimit, in the current situation, I think I should give up the task temporarily. There is no need to do such dangerous things for the boss's impulse. After a while, I think the boss will not remember this order." Another man with a scar on his face said, and his left breastplate was also printed with a wolf claw.
"Oh, you don't understand. This task was specially explained by the one who came later. If it doesn't work well, it will directly affect our "blood wolf"'s future life. What is missing is not half a car of pearls, but the support of that adult will support us in the future." The person named Dimit said in a sigh.
He is one of the captains of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, with an exclusive team and wolf claw number, and is also one of the few people who know the background of the "Blood Wolf". Before, one of them was Walken and the other was Gusman, who were both his most capable assistants. Gusman is the oldest of these ten people, and he has the longest time with Dimit, and has rich experience; Walken and Dimit are about the same age, and have a temper and personality, so they are trained as deputy captains. The remaining seven people were also carefully selected by Dimit, ready to be regarded as confidant forces.
"Aren't we a four-star mercenary group? Do we need someone to support?" Another young man who looked in his early twenties came over. At the same time, with his questions, others also cast curious eyes.
After looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Dimit said helplessly: "You have been following me for almost four years, but I have been following the leader since I was sixteen and it has been almost ten years now. There are many things that you cannot know..."
He sighed, and seemed to be thinking about something, and then continued with a little embarrassment: "Blood Wolf" was like other mercenary groups in the early stage, just a small group that only had a dozen people and could not even fill his stomach. It was not until he met that adult, but we gradually developed a little. On the surface, we have developed very steadily in recent years, but do you know how much the equipment we have to pay? The maintenance fee for these equipment is barely enough. More importantly, don't you think the equipment you are familiar with?"
After a pause, he gave everyone a few seconds to think, and then Dimit gave the shocking answer: "These are all modified equipment used by the elite kingdom! Therefore, the leader had to do this thankless thing."
Everyone looked incredible. They thought that the equipment they were on would be of this kind of origin. Then the supporters behind them were no, they were the real controllers. What a noble identity he had in the Kingdom of Finesh! Everyone was not too stupid, but they stopped thinking about this level. They could give the elite equipment used by their army. The identity of this person was not something that mercenaries like them should know, and they wouldn't even guess in their hearts.
"Okay, don't think too much. Don't take anything else except the magic core. There are no powerful monsters on the periphery of this forest. The lion and ape beast may be here to grab territory. There should be only two fifth-level monsters in this area at most. Just be wary. Judging from the traces of entering the forest, there are only two people on the other side, and it is very likely that they are not from the mercenary group that accepts the mission. Otherwise, even temporary mercenaries are unlikely to leave the team ignorantly. The possibility of being an employer is very high. If you can catch them alive, it will be more valuable than finding half a truck of goods. I just didn't expect that the five idiots would actually chase these two people by chance. Haha, interesting, I don't know how they are."
Although Dimit's words were easier, everyone still packed up their luggage seriously, and they got the joy of the magic core and the fear of facing many monsters were gone, leaving only a heavy weight. No one was fool, and being brought together means that they were both captain's confidants, and they were told a little secret that they had always guessed, and they were both a little worried and a little expectant about the future. After all, the supporters behind the scenes are a big shot who can provide kingdom equipment.

After running for a while, she confirmed that the lion and ape beast had not caught up, Sharon stopped to breathe by leaning against a tree. As for whether Lu Chen had lie to her, it was not within consideration. Even if he wanted to do bad things to him, there was no need to make up a monster and run into the deeper forest.
Lu Chen looked at Sharon, whose chest was undulating violently, took out a pot of water and handed it to her. He had already confirmed the situation behind him with his left eye. There was no need to run like her. He was just feeling the feeling of being pulled by her to do morning exercises.
After taking the kettle, Sharon looked at the space ring on the other person's finger with a little enviousness. He calculated everything he had. It was still very far from buying one, and the ones he could buy would not have as much space as he had in his hands. When he thought of the huge lizard dragon beast being packaged, Sharon felt powerless and a faint thirst light appeared in his eyes.
"I can't give this to you. The teacher gave it to me and the contract is the only one who can be lifted." Seeing Sharon staring at his space ring, Lu Chen made a solemn statement.
"Well, stingy, I didn't say I wanted it. I was worried about anything. Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't dare to ask for it. Such expensive items are still a ring. No one will accept them except those idiot women. Huh? Why do you look okay at all?" Sharon suddenly found that the boy opposite was like a monster, with a relaxed look on his face, and he didn't pant any more after running for a long time.
"Well, does giving rings here mean to combine them? Then if I get one in the future, I can't give it to you? What a pity, when will I go back to find the teacher and ask for another one?" Lu Chen acted in a fancy way, trying to avoid Sharon's problem. In fact, he himself knew too well what was going on. It was like this when he woke up. The reasonable explanation that he could put on was that he had learned new skills and upgraded, but he could not find the specific connection between them.
As soon as he saw Lu Chen's appearance, he knew that he was joking. Sharon followed suit: "Talking big words, if you really can get another one, I won't rob it if you don't give it to me, and you still owe me what you are just like to pay off your debt, so that's not that meaning. Well? Why do you want to use 'Yes'? You won't really come from that barbarian village. The meaning of giving a ring of the opposite sex is shared by the mainland."
"I'm just a barbarian. How about it? If you don't like it, you can't let me go." Lu Chen took out a piece of bread and stuffed it into Sharon's mouth, and said in a very angry manner.
"Well~ You dream, I don't care who you are. Even if you are not a human, it has nothing to do with me. In short, don't try to escape from me before you pay off your owed me." Sharon was attacked and announced fiercely after taking the bread in his mouth. Then he bit a big bite of bread to threaten.
Lu Chen smiled and handed the kettle, then stopped responding, and took out the bread and started eating. He didn't owe her anything at all, but saved her life several times. To be honest, she still owed him, but if he really said it out, the relationship between the two would become very embarrassing, which would be very unfavorable for pursuing the beautiful woman who was growing up in front of him.
