"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Some kind of dark green liquid oozed out from the place where it was pulled out, and Rumplestiltskin cried out loudly because of the pain.

Ariel didn't dare to do anything anymore, she could only watch helplessly as the girl was being continuously eroded by these tentacles, and her whole body gradually no longer looked like a person, but more like a... monster.

The pain continued for almost an hour.

An hour later, those squirming tentacles seemed to have finally subsided contentedly, and the previously eroded skin slowly returned to normal skin...most of it had recovered.

Sweet Cheese is now in a coma. Her eyes are open, but her pupils are close to being dilated. Even her mouth is crooked, her tongue is popping out, and her whole body is twisted in an abnormal posture.

Ariel looked at the girl carefully, and after confirming that she would not suddenly bounce up again, she helped her up, carried her to the bed over there, put her down, and covered her with a quilt.

At this time, it was pitch black outside the window.

When Ariel was tidying up this simple room, there were finally knocks on the door.

"Which one?"

Ariel quickly picked up the cloth and wrapped it around her head.

"I've brought you food."

After hearing this, Ariel adjusted her mentality, walked to the door, and opened the door carefully.

I saw the gunman standing at the door during the day holding a basket. After seeing Ariel, he handed the basket over.

"Here's your dinner today and breakfast tomorrow."

As he spoke, the spearman looked inside through the door. When he saw Sweet Cheese lying unconscious on the bed, he shook his head as if he was watching a good show.

Ariel made a slightly disgusted expression: "What are you doing? My wife provoked you during the day, but now she is not in good health."

The spearman laughed, shrugged, and said with a smile: "No, I didn't mean that. I just want to say... It's quite hard for you as a husband. You have such an ugly monster as your wife, and she is still alive.

Such a serious illness."

At this time, Ariel frowned and said: "I think the people in your village are really problematic. Why do you have to worry about whether my wife is beautiful or not? It's not her fault whether she is beautiful or ugly.

,Why do you say that about her?"

Seeing that Ariel was getting angry, the spearman did not show any intention of backing down. Instead, he said more excitedly: "Okay, okay, I know you want to protect your wife, and I understand this feeling. But you really

It's quite hard, and I feel it's not worth it for you. That howl just now almost made me think it was a monster near our village that appeared!"

Ariel was stunned for a moment and said, "Monsters? Are there any monsters near this village?"

The spearman chuckled and said: "Of course there is a monster, and it is also a very troublesome thing. This thing has been entrenched here for almost a year, but its true identity has never been found. I wanted to find an adventurer before.

We came to solve the problem, but as a result, those adventurers either disliked the lack of money or heard nothing from them after they arrived."

Hearing this, Ariel had a rough idea and said, "So, the way you acted during the day was because you wanted to hunt that monster by yourself? This is a very dangerous thing."

The spearman raised his arm, gestured with his biceps, and said with a smile: "Hahaha! It's okay! Mr. Frange came to our village recently to preside over this hunting operation. I believe we will be successful!"

By the way, I know you had some misunderstandings about Mr. Frange during the day, but he is really a good man. There are monsters near the village now, and he doesn’t want you to run around or panic, so he won’t let you go.

.After we eliminate the monsters, I believe the situation will definitely change."

The Dire Bear is a monster with a very bad temper as its name suggests.

Ariel has always believed that the records about various monsters in Lao Teng Shu's illustrated book are actually quite rough. Most of the time they just introduce the appearance and basic powers and then rush over them, so it is impossible to form a systematic understanding.

.

Similarly, there are not many records about dire bears in the natural history guide. They are similar to other bear-type monsters, and everything is kept simple.

But even so, Ariel also knows that these dire bears should never be like this. Their daily environment is usually to dominate the mountains and old forests far away from the human world. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I am afraid they will never

Coming so close to a human village.

Therefore, Ariel now lacks knowledge about the violent fear bear, and she cannot judge whether these villagers can successfully defeat the monster? Or they have become another batch of victims.

But...

"Are you going to destroy the monsters? Well...are you about to take action soon?"

The spearman nodded and said with a smile: "It should be the nearest time, but it shouldn't be tomorrow. We still need to make some preparations..."

At this point, the spearman seemed to realize that he had said too much about this stranger, and immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Ariel smiled slightly and said, "Well, if you want to destroy the monsters, I'd be happy to help."

Obviously, the spearman didn't trust the thin and weak businessman in front of him at all, who could almost lift two people with one arm. Instead, he looked at Ariel with a very scornful attitude and said: "Are you here to help? You

How can I help? Can you help collect firewood to burn the mountain?"

Ariel smiled: "So you are planning to burn the mountain? It turns out that the monster mainly lives on that mountain? So your preparation is to wait for the wind direction to change so that when you set fire, you will not burn the village?"

Ariel deduced so much information from just one sentence. This obviously made the spearman even more nervous. He covered his mouth and looked panicked, preparing to turn around and leave immediately.

However, Ariel immediately stopped him and said with a smile: "Sir, please don't worry, I am not very interested in these things. You should listen to my suggestions first. I can really help your village."

The spearman stopped and looked at Ariel suspiciously.

"Although I don't have much strength, destroying monsters must require a lot of materials, right? Well... Actually, you don't need to set fire to the mountain. You just need to get a dish of magic-attracting incense and light it in places where monsters often appear. It won't take much.

Time will seduce that monster out."

Ariel flicked her finger and continued: "Besides, you will be injured to some extent when capturing monsters, right? I know the owner of a pharmacy who can provide many cheap and highly effective healing potions. Then, for

Regarding the specific types of Warcraft, I can also provide some special traps of five types: small, medium, large, extra large, and super extra large. The traps can be arranged in spikes or slimes. If there are special needs.

, you can also place sleeping mushroom spores in it.”

"After you catch the monster, do you kill it directly or capture it alive? If you capture it alive, you need suitable poles and ropes, and even some magic-forbidden talismans. If necessary, you should contact the priest and let him make one that can be easily moved.

Light barrier, I can also help contact you in this regard."

"If you don't want to be so troublesome, I can also provide a variety of bait traps. The bait can be mixed with poison, and then things will become a little easier."

After listening to Ariel talking so much, the spearman villager in front of him obviously gradually came around from the regret just now, and even turned into a surprised attitude.

He looked at Ariel here with wide eyes, his mouth opened, and after a moment of silence, he said with a little sigh -

"Mr. Arrow, are you...really a businessman? How do you know so much?"

Ariel shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "It is precisely because I am a businessman that I have to know so much. I often deliver goods to some adventurer guilds, and I also chat in my spare time, and so do their professional guild teams.

Tell me what is the best way to deal with a certain type of monster. Of course, the most inefficient method is to have everyone armed and go up the mountain to capture it together. Not only is it dangerous, but it is also very easy for the monster to escape.

Professional matters often need to be left to a professional team to be considered normal."

The spearman exhaled slowly and said: "I don't know... I only know that Mr. Frange encouraged us and planned to lead us to defeat that monster. I didn't know there were so many ways.

It can deal with Warcraft! Mr. Ai Luo, are these methods effective? If casualties can be reduced, that would be the best!"

Seeing that the villager took the bait, Ariel's eyes immediately narrowed and she said with a smile: "I can't guarantee it is 100% effective, because I don't even know what kind of monster the other party is. In addition, I also need to be able to go home.

Only in this way can we mobilize resources to help kill that monster together."

Hearing that Ariel wanted to leave, the surprise and admiration on the faces of the spearmen and villagers gradually faded away. He shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. Arrow, it is definitely not possible to leave, but

Your method is indeed feasible. If you are willing to help, our village will be very grateful to you."

Ariel never thought that she could leave so easily in the first place. At that moment, she nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I understand. So... let's do it. Can you tell me the details about that monster?"

Say? In this case, I might be able to know a better way to deal with it?"

Since the request to leave was rejected, the spearman villager was naturally embarrassed to refuse the next request made by this "well-meaning businessman".

After thinking for a while, he sighed slightly, nodded, and said, "Actually, I don't know much. I can only tell you what I know."

"Probably...a year ago. A year ago, our village was very peaceful. Although there were some small monsters in the surrounding mountains and forests, they were basically very weak monsters. Adventurers came regularly to clean them up.

That’s it.”

"But in the thousand years, those small monsters in the mountains and forests began to attack our village crazily. This really annoyed us. After eliminating some monsters, some of our villagers decided to go up the mountain to investigate and find out what happened.

Something went wrong. It was also at this time that the village chief led several strong young people up the mountain."

"It's just that... the village chief never came back that day. And when it dawned the next day, we sent people up the mountain to inspect, but we only found the severed limbs and internal organs of the village chief and those young people scattered around.

A scene from one place.”

Ariel briefly imagined that scene in her mind...it was really bloody.

In this way, if you were able to come back alive after your first encounter with the dire bear, you should probably be thankful that the princess on the bed behind you was suffering from a disease...

No, we can't say for sure that the monster is the Dire Bear yet. It's better not to prejudge everything, but to listen patiently first.

In response to this, Ariel showed a slight gasp and said: "It's really miserable... But if someone who is not good at dealing with monsters rushes to challenge that kind of monster, what will happen... Although I am sorry, but I

All I can say is that it’s not that strange.”

The spearman villager sighed, looking a little frustrated, and said: "There is also a cousin of mine in there... What a pity. He was originally supposed to be the candidate for the next mayor of our village. The village chief also brought him because of his trust.

It's such a pity that he went..."

Ariel waited for a while before the villager continued: "After that incident, our whole village felt very panicked, so we wanted to find someone to destroy the monster. The village chief was already dead, so we had no choice but to

I can only ask Lord Baiji for help."

Ariel was stunned and said: "Lord Baiji? Who is this?"
