Chapter 71 Strange Beasts
Chapter 71 Strange Beasts
”Mr. Rod, the torches you mentioned are ready, but…”
Bit looked at the battle situation on the scene and wondered if they would be useless.
But Rod said, “You’re just in time. Throw all the torches out the door.”
Bit nodded, “I see. Are you going to use them to attack the remaining beasts?”
”No, throw them all at Natsu.”
”Ah?”
”Hurry up and do it.” Rod urged. The battle was almost over. If you don’t throw them, it will be a waste of preparation.
”Yes!” Bit commanded the villagers to throw the torches out the door, but he didn’t dare to aim at Natsu.
They didn’t understand what Rod meant, but Habib knew it best. He flew over the wall and shouted, “Natsu! The delicious food is here!”
Natsu turned around and saw dozens of torches flying in the air.
“Oh~~~Great!” Natsu jumped up and pounced on the torch in the air. When he was close enough, he opened his mouth and sucked it, and the flames flew into his mouth.
He reached out and grabbed two torches that he couldn’t eat.
When he landed, Natsu’s cheeks were already bulging, and he chewed a few times and swallowed them.
Rhode didn’t understand why he had to chew something like flames. Was he afraid that there were “fire bones” in it?
”I ate it!”
”You can actually eat flames!”
”So fire wizards can eat fire?”
The villagers looked at Rhode. If fire wizards eat fire, then this wizard who controls beasts…
Strange “knowledge” has increased.
No wonder they dared to take on such a task with only two of them! Natsu stuffed the torch in his hand into his mouth as if it were a lollipop, and took a few bites before throwing the stick away.
“Thanks for the treat!” He wiped his mouth, and his whole body was suddenly covered by flames. “Eat it and the power will surge up!”
Natsu took a deep breath and spewed a lot of flames from his mouth like a fire dragon: “The roar of a fire dragon!”
The violent flames engulfed all the remaining beasts like a whirlwind, making them lose their fighting ability.
It almost affected the two little raptors.
Rod slapped the railing on the arrow tower and said angrily: “Natsu! Pay attention to your own people!”
”Ahahahaha…” Natsu grabbed his cherry-colored hair with one hand and apologized heartlessly, “Sorry, sorry, it’s dark and I can’t see clearly. I went a little too far, and it’s not that I didn’t get hurt!”
Rod didn’t believe him. This bastard must have been so careless because he knew in advance that the wild monsters would not die.
Otherwise, Harpy would have been roasted long ago after following him for so many years.
Harpy felt a chill on his back: “Rod, I feel like you’re thinking about something terrible.”
Rod didn’t admit it: “No.”
”You won so quickly, you’re worthy of being the Mage!”
The villagers were surprised at the Mage’s fighting power, and some unconsciously added a respectful title.
Bit was a little stunned. It turned out that the torches were used like this: “Well, Mr. Rod, what should we do now?”
Rod said: “Open the door to put out the fire. Didn’t I ask you to prepare something? The wall will burn in a while.”
”Ah, yes!” Bit shouted immediately, “Open the door, put out the fire, and protect the wall!”
”Oh!!”
Fortunately, the main battlefield was on the road, the flames did not spread too far, and the fire was not too big, otherwise it would be busy today.
The villagers raised the gate with a winch, and went out to put out the fire with the buckets and carts filled with sand that they had prepared in advance.
When the fire is not big, it is much safer to do this than to face the beasts directly.
Rod used the vision of the river crab to survey the situation around the village and found that there were several beasts running in another direction.
But they did not seem to come to the village, but simply passed by.
The village chief did not wait at home honestly, but came to the entrance of the village with a cane: “Everyone has worked hard, is anyone injured?” ”Village chief! Thanks to the wizard, no one was injured at all.”
Naz came in from the gate, and Rod jumped off the arrow tower with Habby.
The village chief thanked on behalf of the villagers.
”It was originally our mission.” Rod said, “I want to confirm something with you. Are there other villages nearby?”
The village chief shook his head: “No, the nearest village is dozens of kilometers away.”
That’s strange, where did those beasts go? Purely running around? Rod could only take back other wild monsters first,Send a river crab to chase after it and see.
”You three have been running all the way and joining the battle right away. You’ve worked hard.” The village chief said, ”There shouldn’t be anything else tonight. Please come to my house and rest first.”
”Then I’m sorry to bother you.” Rhodes was completely rude. He was really hungry.
Natsu had an unreliable suggestion: “Rod, why don’t we kill all the beasts on the mountain in one go?”
“Stop it, the mountain stretches for dozens of miles, and you can’t finish it if you don’t sleep at night.” Rod advised, and suddenly alerted, “You don’t want to set fire to the mountain?”
”How is it possible? If you want to solve it by burning the mountain, why would you need to issue a commission.” Natsu denied it, “I just want to solve it quickly.”
Rod nodded: “Oh, then why don’t you go first.
Happi and I will go to have a delicious dinner, take a comfortable bath, and have a good sleep.
We will go to the mountain to find you tomorrow and send you a cold breakfast.”
Happi agreed: “Love!”
”You two…” Natsu muttered, and followed honestly.
Rod found a new way to communicate with Natsu.
The village chief’s dinner was very sumptuous, and three chickens were specially killed to entertain them.
In fact, they could just use the meat of the wild animals just now to entertain them, anyway, there was enough.
But the village chief might think it was impolite, so he still used his own food to entertain the guests.
While eating, Rod paid attention to the movements of the wild animals, and found that they seemed to be running around.
Even parted ways halfway.
Very strange.
At night, Rod, Natsu and Happy rested in the same room on the second floor.
It’s not that the village chief’s house has no extra rooms, but Rod feels safer living together.
He sleeps lightly in unfamiliar places, which just happens to prevent Natsu from sneaking out in the middle of the night to cause trouble.
Before going to bed, Rod pulled Natsu and Happy to hold a combat meeting.
“Tomorrow I will send Shadow Wolf and Swift Crab to the mountain to scout and find the whereabouts of the Beast King. Before that, no action is allowed.”
”It’s so troublesome. Can’t we go up the mountain to find him directly?”
”No, the villagers can’t judge the strength of the Beast King, and they can’t provide information, so we have to find out by ourselves.”
Rod said seriously, “If it is beyond our ability, I will immediately give up the task and return to the guild for help.”
”Rod, how can you easily…”
”Love, I agree with Rod’s opinion.”
”Harpy, even you say so!”
”Because, what Rod said makes sense.”
Harpy touched the green bag on his back, which contained a fish that Rod secretly gave him.
”Three people form a team, now it’s two to one, so listen to me.” Rod said, “Now start to sleep well and recover your strength.”
Natsu went to bed indignantly.
In fact, Habib has a more effective persuasion method, but he doesn’t want to mention it. It’s a good decision to make a fool of yourself like this.
