Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Suika chuckled and raised Ibuki's ladle.

"Come on?"

The high priest shook his head

"Forget it. I'm not a youngster like you guys. If I get drunk and fall asleep somewhere, it wouldn't be nice if someone picked me up as game."

"From what you said, you've been picked up before?" Suixiang teased.

"More than once..." The high priest jumped over and sat down next to Suika.

"Hahaha..." Hearing the high priest's words, Suika was so happy that she almost fell headfirst from the tree.

After the music, Suika looked at the high priest

"Actually, High Priest, you don't need to be too wary of me. I know two guys who should be your companions."

"Oh? My companion?" The high priest looked at Suika with a gleam in his eyes.

"There's a penguin called Dadi, who's this tall. He's currently running a logistics company in Longmen... What is a logistics company? It helps people deliver things.

There is also a pink one called Dolly, who lives in Xiosta in the north, which is also the place I plan to go next..."

After Suika finished speaking, she clearly felt that the high priest was less vigilant towards her, but also more curious.

"How do you know those two guys?"

“The Emperor met me at Longmen.

Oh, I am from Longmen.

The Emperor introduced Dolly to me..."

After Suika finished speaking, the high priest nodded.

"If we talk about companions, those two can indeed be considered. But we haven't been in touch for a long time.

Come from outside and tell me what interesting things have happened in recent years."

Suika said while counting on her fingers

"Funny story? Does it count as Victoria's royal family having only one little kitten left wandering around?"

"That's not funny at all."

“The guy in Dayan who’s still sleeping knows about this, right?

Didn't He create a bunch of clones after He fell asleep? Now that guy is about to wake up, but His clones have their own consciousness and don't want Him to wake up, because if He wakes up, these clones will disappear. Is this interesting? "

"This is indeed quite interesting. Please tell me about it in detail."

Suika and the high priest, a ghost and a bird, sat on the treetops and chatted until dawn.

"Ah, the sun is out... I feel so sleepy, I'm going to go take a nap." The high priest yawned.

Suika also nodded

"Um, I'm going to catch up on some sleep too..." Sleeping was better when no one said anything, and the high priest felt like he couldn't keep his eyes open when Suika was mentioned.

After saying goodbye, she crawled into the tree hole, found a comfortable place and fell down peacefully. Shanghai flew to her head as usual, found a place and sat down quietly.

It was already afternoon when Suixiang woke up. When she walked out the door, she saw people outside packing things.

At first glance, there are various hunting forks, bows and arrows, etc.

"Well, where are you guys going to fight?"

Suika saw Tomimi standing outside the crowd and walked over curiously and asked.

Tomimi shook her head.

"It's not fighting, it's hunting."

"Is it necessary to have so many people?" Suixiang wondered. After all, people in the tribe would go out hunting alone from time to time. For example, Suixiang was brought back.

The prey he hunted alone plus the surrounding fruits and other things were enough for the tribe to eat.

What's the point of group hunting in this situation?

“Because I have to pay taxes!”

Tomimi continued as a matter of course.

“King Sargon’s patronage of Akahura was not free.

Every year we have to pay a tax in hides and meat.

The patrolmen who were out on patrol reported that a group of about a hundred fang beasts had appeared at the pond ten kilometers away.

If such a large number of tusk beasts are not cleared out, they will not only pose a threat to the tribe, but will also destroy the living environment of the surrounding animals.

Moreover, if the hunting of so many tusk beasts is successful, there will be no need for additional large-scale hunting this year.

So this is how we prepare for the hunt tomorrow."

After hearing this, Suika's eyes lit up and she quickly raised her hand.

"Well, can I go with you?"

"But fang beast marks are dangerous." Tomimi had some doubts. After all, Suika was a guest, and this kind of hunting was not 100% safe. If a fang beast broke through the encirclement and hurt her, Tomimi felt that she would not be able to explain to Gavial.

Suika raised her arms, showing off her non-existent biceps.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite strong."

……

Seeing it was difficult to refuse, Temimi pointed to a tribesman not far away and said, "How about you compete with him? If you can win, I will take you with me."

Suixiang looked over and saw the other person waving at her in a simple manner.

Although most of the Adacres people looked the same in her eyes, the clear and stupid look in this person's eyes made Suika recognize that this person was the third of the trio who brought her back yesterday.

Chapter 539: The Great Hunt

Looking at the third brother (Suixiang didn't know his name) who was standing not far away with a steel fork, Suixiang threw out an iron chain from her sleeve under everyone's gaze.

Looking at the iron chain that was as thick as a forearm, three meters long, and had a terrifying triangular tip on the top, it was being swung vigorously by Suixiang.

The third brother's face turned green.

Just this sound, even if it was made of leather instead of iron, would leave bruises all over your body.

Not to mention this stuff.

Although he was now curious about where Suika had taken the chain out from.

But this is not important. What is important is that the wind blown by the chain is almost blowing into his face.

"I surrender!"

The clean and neat surrender did not attract ridicule from others. After all, the first element of survival in the wild is to hide when encountering danger.

Unless there is no way out, facing danger head-on is the most useless thing to do for survival.

Therefore, they would not despise the third brother for his surrender, but would only be happy that they had one more expert on their side, which would make them safer during the hunt.

After the contempt ended, Tomimi touched Suika's empty sleeve in surprise.

"Where's your chain?"

Suika smiled mysteriously

"Naturally, it's from coming out to going out."

"speak English!"

Seeing this, Suika shook her head, and Tomimi saw the "band" that Suika tied at the end of her hair.

It looked exactly like the chain that Suika had just used, but it was dozens of times smaller.

"That's it!" Temimi said in surprise with his eyes wide open.

"That's right..." Suika nodded.

"That doesn't mean this on your head!"

Tomimi looked at Suika's two big horns. On the left and right of the horns were hung an iron chain with a square and a circle at the end respectively.

At first she thought it was just some decoration, but now it seems that this thing is actually a weapon.

"You guessed it right." Suika gave Tomimi a thumbs up.

"Hey, Gavial also said I'm smart."

Tomimi said proudly.

To this, Suika just wants to say that of course you are smart. There is no other operator in the entire Rhodes Island who can use a staff to deal physical damage as a mage.

Then Suixiang enthusiastically followed the tribe members to prepare hunting equipment.

While cleaning up Suika, he asked Tomimi about their hunting process.

Temimi said that normally, if it were a group of docile animals like camels and giant springtails, there would be no need to make such a big fuss.

All you need to do is send a few experienced hunters to tame the enemy leader, and then you can come back with the herd.

But when it comes to dangerous carnivorous beasts like the Rift Beast and the Fang Beast, group battles are necessary.

This is the only way to minimize the risk.

After all, the purpose of hunting is survival, and the Adakles people would no longer engage in dangerous hunting alone for the sake of excitement.

The fang beasts this time are very dangerous, and they are a medium to large group of fang beasts.

After they arrive, they will not attack directly but will judge the strength of the herd again. If they feel there is danger, they will ask for help from the surrounding tribes and then hunt together.

Suika greatly approves of the cautious hunting attitude of the Adakles people.

The tribes here have been able to survive in such a primitive form and firmly occupy the resource-rich land of Akahura, relying not only on luck.

Because we are going to do a big hunt tomorrow, everyone didn't drink alcohol today to get in shape.

Suika saw several people who participated in the "battle" yesterday in the crowd.

He was beaten to the ground last night, but today he is working vigorously. Cuixiang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up for his recovery ability.

In the afternoon, Tomimi and Suika talked about some hunting matters, mainly about following instructions, not being impulsive, and trying to protect yourself while participating in the roundup.

Worried that Suika would think this was said to protect her, Tomimi emphasized that this was not directed at Suika alone, but that everyone in the tribe was like this.

Tomimi felt relieved only after Suika patted her chest and promised to follow orders in all actions.

"By the way, since you admire Gavial so much, can you tell me the story of her and you being here?"

In order to prevent Tomimi from changing her mind, Suika uses her ultimate weapon, Gavial.

As expected, Tomimi's eyes lit up when she heard the name Gavial.

She recounted how she and Gavial met, how he saved her, and how he single-handedly defeated all the warriors at the festival.

The high priest who had been observing this silently covered his eyes and said that the child was beyond saving.

In the evening, when Suika was about to take a walk after dinner to digest her food, Tomimi found her and gave her a dream catcher.

"I heard that you couldn't sleep last night. This thing should be able to help you."

Suixiang scratched her head. If the high priest hadn't kept her chatting all night, she wouldn't have had to take a nap so early in the morning.

As for sleep, although I can’t sleep like a baby who just closes his eyes and falls asleep, I don’t suffer from insomnia when I want to sleep.

But she would not refuse good intentions.

Besides, a dream catcher is such an interesting thing that you have to try it no matter what.

The next morning, after having a sweet dream all night, Suika got up early in a happy mood.

Then, facing the sun, musical instruments were played and the song "Westminster Chimes" woke up the drowsy people.

As for being woken up by music, none of the people of Gavial's Will were angry. Instead, they said that this experience was quite novel.

Someone suggested preserving this song with props and playing it every morning after the sun rises.

What Suixiang didn't expect was that this proposal was agreed by many people.

As for how to preserve the music...

Temimi says she has a solution.
