hunt and eat

Chapter 510 Wait... Is that really mud?why do i smell shit...

Cassius.

Hearing this extremely familiar but long-gone name from the mouth of Renn who had just met suddenly, Rao Guta rarely fell into a sluggish state.

Clenching his palms unconsciously, he forcibly stabilized his rippling eyes. He looked at Ren, who was not surprised by his reaction at all, and patiently waited for his explanation later.

"I heard later that at the end of Lord Cassius' life, you were the ones who fought side by side with him."

"To be honest, I'm a little envious." Looking at Guta sincerely, Ren said with nostalgia and emotion.

"Can you tell me in detail? About the incident you mentioned 12 years ago..."

"Of course, if you're interested."

Nodding his head, Ren raised his face, sighing and sighing.

"That was the first time I met Lord Cassius, and it was also the last time."

……

12 年前
Tantan Village, a small stronghold near the snow-capped mountains.

In the snowy winter, two travelers with heavy bags welcomed us.

No, to be precise, it should be called... a hunter.

Whether it was the two double knives on the waist of the black-haired young man, or the large shield and long spear carried by another blond young man behind his back, they all showed their identities.

"Weizet, I repeat, I'm the captain, understand?" The young man kept muttering something in his companion's ear, but from the indifferent expression on the other side's face, it can be seen that the latter didn't care at all. take care of interest.

"Mossy, Mr. Weizet? Are you ignoring me?"

"You're ignoring me, right... na~ na?"

The blond young man surrounded his companion in a childish manner, trying to challenge the limit of his patience.

The blue veins on the forehead popped up one after another. After all, Weizet couldn't bear it any longer. He punched the grimacing young man in the front view, knocking him flying two meters away.

"Cassius, if you have the energy, you might as well focus more on the preparations for the mission."

"As long as you don't get the wrong mission location and take the wrong map, we won't get lost in the snow-capped mountains!"

Groaning and climbing up from the snowdrift, the young man named Cassius closed his curse-swearing mouth with a resentful expression.

"Big brother, are you hunters?" A blond boy about three or four years old was having a snowball fight with his little friend, squatting behind a makeshift bunker, looking at the two with his nose running.

"Well, the title of hunter is too broad, you can call me uncle..."

Before Cassius could brag, Weizet beside him spoke first: "Yes, we are hunters."

It directly blocked the second half of Cassius' sentence.

"Wow~ It's a hunter!" A lot of stars of admiration appeared in his round eyes, and the little boy stood up excitedly, but then he was frantically set on fire by his friends, and instantly turned into a snowman.

"..." Both Cassius and Weizet couldn't help laughing at the scene in front of them.

Shaking his body like a puppy and shaking off the snow, the little boy nonchalantly shouted to his companions behind him: "Everyone, come quickly, you are the legendary hunter!"

Uh... in the legend...

Cassius moved around uncomfortably.

Although he quite liked the feeling of being admired, but no matter what, he wouldn't rise to such an outrageous level as a legend, right?
The degree of occlusion in this village is a bit outrageous...

Soon, a group of little radish heads flocked to the two of them and began to ask miscellaneous questions.

"Hey, Brother Hunter, what kind of monsters do you usually hunt?"

"I heard that monsters can swallow four or five people in one gulp. Is it true?"

"Big brother, what is that long thing behind you, is it a weapon?"

Cassius didn't know how to answer the miscellaneous questions. In contrast, Weizet who was beside him was much calmer.

He just stood there without saying a word, like a wooden man, and soon the children stopped pestering him, and all rushed towards Cassius, who was easy to talk at first glance.

"Well, how should I put it, there are many kinds of monsters."

"And..."

"Little devil, get your claws off my equipment!"

Looking angrily at a little kid who was touching his beloved spear with his dirty little clay hands, Cassius couldn't bear it and said:
"Are you playing with mud before I saw you?"

"Wait... is that really mud? Why do I smell shit..."

"groove!!!"

……

Later, Cassius, who looked resentful, and Weizet, who was present with the old god, were invited into the only reception room in the village by the village chief.

Sitting around the glowing red stove, the old village chief, who doesn't know how old he is this year, but is definitely dizzy, leaned his head closer, looked at the soup pot hanging on the stove, and threw it into it tremblingly. It looks like the root of seasoning.

To be honest, Cassius on the side looked a little flustered.

The old village head almost put his head into the soup just now. If he hadn't reacted quickly and stopped him in time, he would probably be able to start thinking about tomorrow's banquet by now.

"That... the old village chief, we're really not hungry, and it doesn't matter if we eat later." Casius said with a sullen face as he pulled the old village chief away from the extremely hot pot of tofu soup in fear.

Weizet on the side nodded with rare approval.

Scratching his bald forehead with few hairs left for a long time, the old village chief finally stopped insisting and sat down cross-legged.

"In a poor place, there is nothing to eat. Please forgive me, two distinguished guests."

"You're welcome. It's a rare delicacy to have warm soup in this snowy day."

As soon as he said "I'm not hungry" on his front foot, Cassius, who was serving himself a bowl of tofu soup on his back foot, sipped the hot tofu soup in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he unconsciously moved closer to the stove in front of him.

Lost in the snow-capped mountains in this weather for two full days, who knows what they went through.

When he was at his limit, he even considered gnawing on the bark, but in the end he found that he couldn't even gnaw on the bark.

The temperature of more than ten degrees below zero made everything as hard as a stone.

"Hahaha, it's best if you two are satisfied." The old village head's long white eyebrows trembled for a while, and he let out a hearty laugh.

At this age, it is really amazing to have such a volume.

But seriously, are the people in this village particularly loud?
The voice of the kid at the door just now was also ridiculously loud.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Weizet suddenly spoke.

"Old village chief, do you have something to ask us?"

Although he is relatively dull, Weizet himself has good observation skills, so he can roughly see the somewhat hesitant expression on the village chief's face.

With his skinny hands hanging down, the old village head nodded, and then explained.

"A while ago, several young men in charge of hunting in our village disappeared inexplicably in the nearby snow fir forest."

"Someone found footprints similar to snow lions nearby, but considering that there is also a senior hunter who has just retired among the missing people, so we doubt whether there is a mutation or two snow lion kings came here. The guild submitted a rescue application."

While talking, the old village head looked at the two of them with a sad face, "But almost a week has passed in a blink of an eye, and we still haven't been able to wait for the guild to come... The old man thought that the two were hunters who came to deal with this matter. But now it seems that it shouldn’t be.”

After saying this, the old village chief sighed deeply.

"That snow fir forest is the village's most important source of food. Now that something like this has happened, the old man dare not let the villagers get close to it."

"But the weather continues like this, and the food reserves in the village are almost exhausted, which is really worrying."

Cassius and Weizet looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Soon, Cassius put down the glistening soup bowl in his hand with an excited face, patted his chest and said, "Village Chief, leave this matter to us, at least I have been taken care of by you, this small matter is not a problem .”

"No matter what we say, we are also five-star hunters, snow lions and so on, even if there are two individuals, it is absolutely no problem."
