Chapter 52: Quick Wit

SpyingBlade also arrived and asked puzzled: “There’s a follow up quest?”

Ye Cang indifferently nodded: “Mm, we just found out too. Since everyone is here, let’s go.”

ThornyRose watched Ye Cang brush over the subject while looking all serious. She sighed and didn’t add anything.

Ye Cang brought everyone on the familiar route and arrived at the enormous holy oak tree. ThornyRose looked up at the enormous tree lit up by the morning sun. Under the tree, there were many wild animals, such as spotted deers, resting. She thought it over, and realised that no one had come here before. Just how did these three know about this place? However they found it, it was definitely not by chance.

“In the past, we fought an elite black werewolf here, so I thought that there would be more of them around.” Ye Cang said and everyone nodded. SpyingBlade spent some time examining the surroundings. He looked at the leaves on the ground and pointed to the northwest. “The leaves in this direction are different than the rest, like they’re often stepped on.” He moved the leaves and looked at the footprint underneath. It was similar but different from a wolf’s, clearly belonging to werewolves. He followed the footprints, sweeping the leaves out of the way and became sure. “Let’s go, it should be this way. The footprints are fairly fresh. Follow me.”

ThornyRose nodded. SpyingBlade was a famous lone wolf, so he was proficient in scouting and tracking. Looking at the footprints, it did indeed come from that direction. Everyone followed closely behind him.

They started moving further and further away from the holy oak and noticed the surrounding forest was slowly changing. The trees were more withered and twisted, and there was a layer of fog covering the ground.

“The fog is becoming thicker. Everyone stay close, don’t wander too far.” SpyingBlade said as he backed up. Everyone stuck together, alert. Ye Cang frowned and put away his bow, instead taking out his two handed sword. This sort of environment wasn’t ideal for ranged attackers, he would also more likely to hit allies by accident.

SpyingBlade was like a hunting hound. Every few steps, he would examine the ground like he was sniffing it, then he’d think a bit before continuing. This time, they turned right. Because of the bad visibility, everyone stuck closely together. They felt like they were traveling a maze. But to someone like SpyingBlade, this was nothing. He explored labyrinths, forests, sinkholes, etc all the time by himself in search of treasure. Although FrozenBlood’s scouting ability wasn’t as high has SpyingBlades, but she was very good at remembering directions. As for scouting, Thorns and Roses had The Hundred Blooming Archer – ElegantFragrance.

As for Ye Cang’s group, they didn’t really have any worries. It was fine as long as they followed closely.

It sounded like the trees were weeping as the wind blewing past them. It made everyone feel a little bit frightened. Lin Le pulled on Ye Cang’s sleeve. “Brother Lil’White, what’s that sound?”

Ye Cang and Zhang ZhengXiong hadn’t learned much science. They shook their heads.

“It’s the sound of the wind passing through those dead trees, nothing special.” ThornyRose explained. Lin Le sighed in relief and nodded.

At this time, SpyingBlade suddenly stopped. “There’s something approaching! Everyone careful! Don’t get separated!”

They could faintly hear the sound of claws ripping through the leaves as it approached them. However the wailing of the dead trees made it hard to tell which direction it came from. They could only continue to be alert.

“Awooo!” From within the fog, something pounced towards GreenDew. ThornyRose quickly stepped in front and blocked it with her shield. From the other side, two more pounced and attacked Lin Le and SpyingBlade. Just as the one attacking Lin Le jumped out of the fog, a red light flashed. A straight thrust strengthened by the sword’s active ability stabbed forwards. Ye Cang’s two handed sword pierced into the werewolf’s heart and pulled out, all in an instant. Only afterwards did the werewolf howl out in pain. Zhang ZhengXiong took advantage of the time it stopped moving and smashed it with his shield. He raised his other hand and released a double strike. His hammer smashed twice on it’s injured chest. Lin Le’s heavy axe followed closely behind, beheading it.

In the front, SpyingBlade took a step and dodged the pounce. He reversed his grip on his hooked saber and stabbed it into it’s neck. The strike looked extremely brutal. He then immediately retreated and created some distance. FrozenCloud came to assist, moving around him and taking is place. She activated her Fine-Black-Iron Protector’s counter and blocked with her two tonfas. The werewolf who was just stabbed by SpyingBlade furiously raised it’s claws and slashed. Counter succeeded! Her right tonfa instantly rushed out and smashed into it’s chin, knocking it out.

The remaining werewolf was quickly finished off by everyone.

“This environment is disadvantageous for us. It’s good that there weren’t too many.” ThornyRose said and immediately they heard the sound of more werewolves approaching. There were more than last time, as their sounds overpowered the wailing of the trees.

Everyone’s heart sank. It wasn’t a number they could deal with. What scared them the most was that there wasn’t a way to escape. Unfortunately, vision here was too bad, retreating could get them separated.

“F*! You jynx! A’Xiong, quickly prepare the fire! Lil’Dino, take A’Xiong’s place!” Ye Cang glared at ThornyRose, and immediately reacted with his quick wit.

Zhang ZhengXiong realised what he was trying to do. He quickly and skillfully took out the firewood, placed some tinder on it, and started the fire. Ye Cang hurried to take his iron pot out. He started boiling some water and took the time to loot one of the corpses beside him. “God Dammit, nothing at all again!” In rage, he slashed at the corpse, dismantling it, and throwing it into the pot. He then took some fishman parts, some red slime, some green slime, and threw it all in. He carelessly threw in some seasonings, and after thinking it over, he threw in the leftover wolf meat and mushrooms.

ThornyRose and the others were speechless. Did he go mad? They were in such a dangerous situation yet he was still leisurely making that disgusting dish? She sensed the sound coming closer and closer. “Damn! Stop being dumb! Hurry and prepare… for… battle….!?”

Although the stew had not yet finished, but the food’s ‘fragrance’ was already spreading. ThornyRose could feel her stomach revolting already. Everyone began to feel a sting feeling in their eyes, making it difficult to keep them open. The eye-stinging and disgusting dish released an unblockable smell that invaded into the depths of their mind.

ThornyRose was watching the few werewolves who were pouncing over. They suddenly made a Wuu~ Wuu~ whine, and turned tail to run for their lives. The surrounding noise also got further and further away. They were soon gone without a trace.

ThornyRose was stunned. What sort of biological weapon was that!?

Everyone looked astonished towards the solemn chef who had his arms crossed and an indescribably smile on his face. The thought: “What have you been feeding us this whole time!? You sure it’s edible?” went through their minds.

“So dangerous. Last time we almost died to a werewolf, we were level 3 at the time. We were not it’s match, not to mention it was a rare elite. Good thing it knocked over my bro’s iron pot and accidently ate some of the food that had gone cold. Then it stopped breathing, started foaming at the mouth, and was beaten to death by us.” Zhang ZhengXiong said with a bright smile.

“Humph~ the art of cooking is not only about making things delicious. One must also grasp how the ingredients reinforce each other. Hah~ The path of a chef is as boundless as the sea, extremely vast and profound. You guys wouldn’t understand.” Ye Cang said with his eyebrows raised. He had his hands clasped behind his back and looked like a lonely expert.

“Brother Lil’White seems so amazing!” Lin Le said while pinching his nose, making him sound silly.

“It’s nothing~” Ye Cang received Lin Le’s worshiping gaze, and modestly waved his hand. However his other hand was also plugging his nose.

The others were still recalling the scene where the werewolves turned tail and ran, but were snapped out of their thoughts by the increasingly disgusting smell. Hearing Ye Cang, Zhang ZhengXiong and Lin Le’s conversation, they silently looked at the contents of the pot. They got goosebumps as they gulped and backed up a few steps.
