My system comes with a chat group?

The four-man team was in danger, two of whom had already fallen from the poison. The remaining two also had a very difficult time dealing with it. The claws of the snaketail chicken were very hard and poisonous, and it was not something that ordinary adventurers could handle.

This adventure team is made up of warriors alone, with no magicians following them. The journey will only become more difficult as time goes on.

“There’s not even a halfling who can open the lock, meow. Is this team really here to take risks?” Yakumo quickly drew out his two swords and transformed into a demon: “Sister Shu, lift me up meow!”

"Ah?" Shu had just set up his rifle and was stunned when he heard Yakumo's words.

"Just lift it up, you can knock me up into the air!" Yakumo ran in front of Shu and hurriedly

He said, "Eri and the commander-in-chief, prepare your magic and aim at that chicken head."

“Although that’s the snake’s head, I’ll attract its attention!” As soon as Yakumo finished speaking, Shu pushed Yakumo forward: “Hiss, I can be thrown out directly! There’s no need to be knocked away like this, meow!!!”

Although he screamed, Yakumo quickly adjusted his body shape while flying in the air. The chicken head, which was also attracted by Yakumo and had a higher head, was ready to peck at Yakumo.

"Spin!" The Snake-Tailed Chicken was waiting for Yakumo to fall, and Yakumo was also waiting to make contact with the Snake-Tailed Chicken's head. When the tip of the double swords touched the Snake-Tailed Chicken, Yakumo turned along the Snake-Tailed Chicken's body.

While rotating itself, Yakumo's double swords cut along the body of the snake-tail chicken, directly from head to tail, just like rubbing its back smoothly, making the back of the snake-tail chicken bleed instantly.

Chapter 15 I Still Eat It

"It feels so good, meow." After getting off the snake-tail chicken, Yakumo turned around on the ground to cushion his injury before he could stand still. Because Yakumo was short and the two swords he held were not long, the snake-tail chicken looked embarrassed, but it was not seriously injured.

"Eri Lili-chan and Tina-chan, restrain this snake-tailed chicken." Shu Ru said, "Give me some time to charge!"

Shu lowered his body slightly, raised his shield, and held the musket. The front of the musket began to spit out blue flames, which was a symbol of the dragon cannon charging. The extremely high heat made the snake-tailed chicken feel threatened, and both of its heads looked at Shu.

"Over here, meow!" Yakumo took out a shield with a ghostly face painted on it. After taking out the shield, the snake-tailed chicken's head seemed to be attracted by something and stared at Yakumo fiercely.

"Here, here!" Eriri used the only general attack magic she knew to attack the chicken head. The damage of the attack was not high, and Eriri's magic power needed to be improved.

However, this is enough for now. The chicken head was attracted by Eriri, and the two heads of the snake-tailed chicken looked in different directions, but there was only one body. As a result, the snake-tailed chicken was stuck.

It was this pause that gave Shu the opportunity to complete the accumulation of strength.

"boom!!!"

The fierce bombardment hit the chest of the snake-tail chicken, and the snake-tail chicken staggered and fell backwards. Yakumo took the opportunity to approach the snake head and attacked it with a series of swords. The snake head, who was still in a daze, was instantly strangled by the double swords.

The chicken head on the other side was hit by Shu's gun, and it saw stars. Shu then fired another shot at its face, which also blew away the chicken head. The whole battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the snake-tailed chicken fell to the ground and died.

"This is the antidote, meow. Let the poisoned person drink it quickly." Yakumo took out the antidote he had just made. "There are hyenas and snake-tailed chickens fighting nearby. Let's leave as soon as possible, meow."

"Thank you, thank you, you must be experienced adventurers!" The remaining member of the team kept thanking Yakumo while pouring the antidote into his teammate's mouth. The effect of the antidote was very obvious, and it was almost removed as soon as he drank it.

"Sister Shu, let's peel the ingredients quickly." Yakumo also took out a knife. Shu peeled the ingredients and got the claws, feathers and wings of the snaketail chicken.

"Ah, the wings are gone, meow. I was going to make grilled wings..." Yakumo felt it was a pity. All he could peel were chunks of meat, chicken breast, thigh meat, snake meat and so on.

"But, a creature like the serpentine also has this kind of thing? And there are a lot of serpentine feathers. They feel like dragon scales, meow."

In the world of Monster Hunter, the most common materials to be stripped are scales and skins, which are also needed when forging equipment. Parts such as claws are more commonly used in weapons.

"When you go back, you can try to make some protective gear with feathers and skin. Maybe it will look good." The feathers on the chicken part of the snaketail chicken are still very colorful, and it might look good if made into equipment.

"Wear this?!" Ying Lili looked disgusted.

"It may not look good as raw materials, but once the equipment is formed, you will find it is completely different. And weapons, if they can be sharper than iron, I can get new weapons."

"The feeling of firing that shot just now was really refreshing, and this weapon is not difficult to master." Shu has already put the rifle back on his back.

"Next time, Sister Shu can try Gunlance Flying Cat. It's played by the hunters in Flame Village. It can run very far at once." Yakumo recommended cheerfully, but as for this operation...it depends on personal opinion.

"Are you feeling better?" Funina asked when she saw that the poisoned people were able to stand up.

"Thank you, I'm fine now." Although the poison was removed, his face was still pale. The damage caused by the poison to his body still existed. It seemed that he needed to recover well.

"Well, let's eat first, meow." Yakumo also noticed the situation of the team member. As an Elu cat in charge of logistics, he was already familiar with this situation: "Don't worry, as long as you eat well, you will recover quickly, meow."

"Then let me help you, Yakumo-chan." Shu washed his hands and came over: "I'll help you prepare the ingredients."

The rice seemed to have special effects only in Yakumo's hands. I tried it myself, and it turned out to be just ordinary rice.

Producing skills will not have the effect of temporarily increasing strength.

"Swipe, swipe." Yakumo roughly divided the meat with a few cuts: "Sister Shu, cut this side into cubes, and cut that side into shreds. Then cut the green strip-shaped fruit into cubes, and cut the green columnar fruit into shreds. Yinglili, please heat up the baking tray for me!"

"Here it comes!" Eriri hurried over and used magic to heat the baking tray. Yakumo spread a layer of oil on it, and when the oil was hot, he placed the cut thigh meat on the baking tray.

The chicken thighs have more lean meat, but there is still a layer of subcutaneous fat. After being fried in hot oil, the aroma of the fat gradually began to spread, and Yakumo sprinkled some seasoning on it, and the aroma came up immediately.

As the chicken skin began to turn golden, Yakumo turned the chicken over. The pre-marinated chicken did not need much seasoning at all, and the aroma naturally came out after the oil temperature stimulated it.

"Gulp." The rescued team couldn't help swallowing. How could the adventurers who had been struggling in the maze for so long have eaten such delicious food?

Unless you have just entered the maze, you will have sufficient supplies. But most adventurers who have just entered the maze cannot bring too much meat, and most of them can only carry rations such as dried meat and bread that are easy to carry.

The jerky is all hard and the taste is not guaranteed at all.

Hot, freshly fried steaks like this one are already the ultimate delicacy here. After surviving a near-death experience, the bodies of these adventurers are craving for nutrients.

I asked Eriri to turn down the heat, and Yakumo started to stir-fry. Shredded pork with green peppers and Kung Pao chicken were both dishes that were quick to serve and could suit most people's tastes.

The last dish was snake meat soup, to which Yakumo added some dried slime. The slime skin was shredded and added to the snake meat soup like vermicelli. The originally dry slime skin regained some elasticity when it came into contact with the soup.

Finally, Yakumo quickly cut the chicken steak into pieces, and all the dishes were ready to be served.

"It's ready, everyone can start eating, meow." Yakumo put the dishes on the table and served everyone a bowl of snake meat stew.

Chapter 16 The Taste of Mandrake

"Thank you very much!" After a meal, the team was basically recovered. Yakumo collected a certain amount of compensation from these people, and then asked about the location of the mandrake.

"Why do we have to ask for rewards from those people in the end?" Hiiragi Wutina was very curious: "We are obviously doing good things, right?"

"It's a bit strange to hear the commander-in-chief say "good thing". Yakumo touched the back of his head and said, "But I can still explain it. Although favors can be trusted in the underground labyrinth, they are only for members of your own team."

For people from different teams, interests are always more reliable than personal relationships. Unless the leaders of the two teams were close friends and later developed separately, the connection between them has not been interrupted.

Moreover, helping without asking for anything in return may even make those being helped feel scared, as they will think that you have something more difficult for them to do.

Receiving compensation defines this matter as a transaction. With the exchange of interests, both parties will feel at ease.

"There are so many twists and turns here?" Finina was dumbfounded: "I thought adventurers in such a world would be like those in novels..."

"Haha, it seems that I will have to let the big guy continue to give Fu Fu some lessons later." Yakumo smiled and leaned on Fu Nina's shoulder: "In a place like a maze, it is even more impossible for the kind of plots in novels to happen."

"Ah? Um..." Furninna was silent.

"Don't worry too much, Fufu. We are here to take care of these things. Fufu, just treat it as an ordinary adventure world." Yakumo touched Funina's hat: "Besides, as long as you have the ability, there will be no problem for you to do this."

"Oh, so that's it..." Furninna still stuttered while answering.

Eriri, on the contrary, is very accustomed to this situation. After all, her father is a diplomat and she is familiar with this kind of relationship.

"Okay, okay, we're almost at the Mandrake Grassland, meow." Yakumo pointed ahead: "Look, I can already see the top of the Mandrake Grass, meow."

The top of the mandrake looks like a radish top, and when it is pulled out, it tastes a bit like a combination of sweet potato and potato. In the original work, the dwarf Sensi used mandrake to make omelette rice, which tastes closest to potatoes.

"Do you want to step aside?" Shu looked at the people behind him and said, "I won't be able to control the screams when I pull the mandrake grass."

"Then I'll leave it to Sister Shu. I'll take Fufu and the others away so that no one can come and attack them." Yakumo agreed to Shu's arrangement without hesitation: "I guess only the transformed commander-in-chief can resist better."

But Hiiragi Mutina is also a rookie without transformation. Whether she becomes invincible after transformation in the real world is another matter. If I were there, I could try my best to prevent these girls from falling into the trap.

"By the way, if possible, please pick a few more, I will try to make dried mandrake as a snack." If it is more like a potato, I will use it to make French fries. If it is more like a sweet potato, I can make it into a snack similar to dried sweet potatoes.

"You really know how to assign tasks to me, Yakumo-chan. But it's okay." Shu tied the top of the mandrake with a rope, and after watching that Funina and the others were far enough away, he pulled the rope hard.

"what!!!!!!!!"

The scream of one mandrake was stressful enough, and the scream of nearly ten mandrakes was a disaster. Even though Shu had raised his shield and was ready, the shield was still clanging.

The powerful impact even made Shu take a step back. At the same time, the magical thing was that even though she took a step back, the screams still had no effect on her.

The shield really blocked the screams out. As long as you face the direction where the screams come from, no matter how loud the sound is, it will be blocked by the shield, and it will not damage your hearing.

The scream lasted for a full minute before it stopped. After the scream, the mandrake was lifeless. Except for the strange head, the whole thing looked a bit like ginseng. The scream just now seemed to have exhausted all the vitality of the mandrake.

"It's really ugly." Eriri complained: "I didn't feel that way when I watched Harry Potter before, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I can't think of any other way to describe it except ugly..."

"But it seems to taste good." Yakumo collected the quantity to be delivered, then picked up one, removed the head and peeled it, and then took a bite: "This has the texture of potato, and it is a bit crispy when raw."

"This one has the taste of taro... Does Mandrake have so many tastes? Or is it because of the content limitations of the original work that some of the information is incomplete?"

"Is it delicious?" Funina was also a little greedy.

"It doesn't taste good, meow." Yakumo shook his head decisively: "Because it's not cooked, it feels like eating raw potatoes, meow."

"I'll try making some taro paste snacks when I get back. The potato-like ones can be used for cooking or steamed as a staple food. It's a pity that they are too difficult to collect, otherwise Mandrake would be a great addition to your food library."

"By the way, don't throw away the mandrake leaves. They can be used to make medicine. Drinking them in water can also make people more energetic for a period of time. I'll go back and try to see if I can use them as ingredients for a powerful walking potion."

Because they had saved the team and had a meal together, it was already close to evening after they had finished pulling the mandrake grass. They would definitely not be able to get back to the city at this time, so the team could only camp outside for one night.

"There seems to be a camping area on the second floor where we can rest. Let's go there, meow." Yakumo pointed to a place on Eriri's map and said, "Let's navigate there. Everyone, be careful on the way, meow."

As night fell, some nocturnal monsters began to move. Since there was a fight between the snake-tailed chicken and the hyena, there must be some small carnivores.

The road was relatively safe, and there was no danger, but there was a dead adventurer. The sudden appearance of a corpse on the road scared Eriri and the others. It can only be said that these people were lucky, and the corpse was still intact.

"It seems that there is a special place underground to recycle corpses. Just put these corpses aside and wait for recycling. But...how did these people die here? It doesn't look like they were poisoned, meow?"

Not only does it not look like it was poisoned, it also looks like it was killed directly. Generally, monsters with this strength are mostly slightly stronger monsters. Could there be some abnormal situation that caused the monsters on the lower level to come up? !

Chapter 17 Great Sword

It's very strange, generally large monsters should have the habit of eating prey directly after killing them, unless the venue is not suitable for the survival of these creatures, such as a flying fish in the water killing an adventurer, and the adventurer finally walked to the shore.

This way, flying fish and water predators will not be able to drag adventurers into the water and eat them.

But the problem is, this is a large grassland, so this situation is impossible. Could it be that some beast came up from downstairs and went back because of the restrictions of the maze?

"Eri, how are you doing with your healing magic?" This was wound recovery, and Furninna's singer couldn't heal someone who wasn't a teammate. Hiiragi Matina was also a pure DPS, so there was even less she could do.

"Let's give it a try, meow. I'll use some honey bugs." In the Iceborne DLC of Monster Hunter World, Felyn has a skill that can wrap an exhausted hunter with honey bugs and bring him back to life.

However, in the game, when a hunter falls down from exhaustion, it just means that his "health" has returned to zero, not that he has really died. So Yakumo is not sure whether it is effective.

He summoned a large honey bug and threw it at the adventurers. The honey bug's hanging honey quickly covered the bodies of these people, and then the adventurers' complexion began to slowly improve, and finally they even coughed.

After a while, these people dug away the insect honey and stood up from the pool of insect honey.

"Pay the resurrection fee first, meow." Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that the insect honey is really useful. Then wouldn't the cat's great perseverance, a skill that allows a cat to retain a little health when dying, also be effective?

Now the maneuverability of cat food has become very large. Maybe he can make a lot of money just by selling cat food at the entrance of the maze. Who can refuse a dish that is delicious and can increase their skills?

These people were also veteran adventurers, and they paid the resurrection fee without hesitation. After they paid, Yakumo asked, "What monster killed you, meow? Most of the monsters on this floor are small monsters, right?"

"Originally you were here... but we received a commission to capture a large monster in the lower levels." After a moment of silence, an adventurer finally spoke up: "The employer wants some monsters from the lower levels for

Research……"

"Then you are really brave...Aren't you afraid of something going wrong? Besides, monsters cannot be taken outside the maze, isn't this a consensus?"

"So our stubbornness is waiting at the entrance. They have built a very large room there, dedicated to studying the various monsters in the maze. It was going smoothly this time, but I didn't expect..."

"If something unexpected happens, it's not called smooth sailing!" Yakumo said bitterly, "Could the monster have escaped now?"

The adventurers looked at each other awkwardly without saying anything. But sometimes silence is more telling than explanation. Obviously, the monster was alive and had already run away.

"Okay, so what kind of monster is it?" Yakumo covered his head and said, "Is it going to run to the rest area?"

"It's a Minotaur. But it must have been hungry for a long time, and we lost its weapon..." These adventurers didn't know where they had gone wrong.

"As long as they are not dead, there is a possibility of escape." Shu said: "Also, that Minotaur..."

"Similar to the Fengti tribe." Yakumo whispered in Shu's ear.

"Oh, the Minotaur's strength should not be bad, right? And cows are animals that store grass and chew the cud. Haven't you considered this issue? Maybe the Minotaur still has 60% to 70% of its strength left."

"If the adventurers on this floor are not that strong, then if we allow the Minotaur to appear on this floor, the adventurers on this floor will be in trouble... I hope the Minotaur won't find the place where the adventurers are resting."

After listening to these people's descriptions, Shu also began to look worried. It was still too difficult to find a lone monster in such a large maze. As expected, someone had to stay on guard at night to prevent his team from being in danger.

With the adventurer leading the team, it was easy to find the rest camp. Ignoring these people, Yakumo and the others hurriedly ate dinner and prepared to rest, with Yakumo keeping watch at night.

"Although I've become a Feline, my life level is very high, so sleeping is not a necessity. And because I'm a Feline, my hearing is more sensitive, so being alert is very useful, meow."

"Then I'll leave it to Yakumo tonight." Furniture yawned. She was really sleepy. Unfortunately, there was nothing outside that she could hold to sleep, and Yakumo had to keep watch.

There were many lights on around, which should be other adventurer teams. No one disturbed each other and they rested quietly until...
