At night, the flat valley at the foot of the mountain.
“Crack! Pop!”
The sound of sparks from bonfires continued to be heard, but these sounds were drowned out by the cheerful conversations of the people.
Because many animal carts were damaged and some people were injured and needed to be treated.
Instead of moving forward, the convoy chose to camp in the flat valley at the foot of the mountain, preparing to set off again after the vehicles were repaired.
In order to thank the adventurers and passengers for their heroic fighting, several caravans also took out their stored high-quality food and wine to reward everyone.
"We're really lucky today, there were no casualties!"
Beside the campfire, Anjie said happily while holding the foamy wine given by the caravan.
Seeing that she seemed a little drunk, York said unhappily:
"Hey, don't get drunk, we are in a dangerous area now!"
"Don't worry! Don't be so stubborn! With such a large group of goblins here, there's no way other monsters would appear!"
"This is just in case. We are guards. What happens if a guard gets drunk?"
Anjie pouted in dissatisfaction, "I know! I won't get drunk!"
"That's more like it."
"I'll have three more drinks at most... No, two!"
"You... you have absolutely no intention of not getting drunk!"
While the Fang Hunting Team was still bickering, their leader, Alex, ended the impromptu meeting held by the caravan and returned to the campfire.
He sat down on the ground, then picked up a glass of foamy wine and drank it down in one gulp.
“Ha! That feels so good!”
"Hahaha~! Right? A drink after the battle, it couldn't be better, right~!"
Anjie said with a laugh, while teasing York with her eyes.
York was furious. He glared at Alec with disapproval and asked in a muffled voice:
"Alec, what's the result? Can we leave tomorrow?"
Alec shook his head.
"Not tomorrow. According to the caravan, it will take until tomorrow afternoon to be repaired, so we have to stay here for another day."
Anjie, who was a little drunk, interrupted, "Well, can't we just abandon those broken-down cars?"
"That's impossible."
Alec denied.
"The damaged vehicles are nearly a quarter of the caravan. There's no way they're just being abandoned. And when I said we'd fix them tomorrow, I was already abandoning the severely damaged vehicles. Wait... Anjie, are you drunk?"
"Eh? No, no... burp~!"
“… …”
"Your foam wine is confiscated."
Alec ruthlessly confiscated Anjie's foaming wine.
“Don’t—!!!”
... ...
At the same time in the jungle near the camp.
A strychnine rabbit was foraging in the dark. Suddenly, it became nervous as if it sensed some danger.
But no matter how it looked around, it could not find the source of the danger.
Just when it relaxed, thinking it was an illusion, a hand reached out from the darkness, grabbed its two ears and lifted it up.
"Well, food is in hand!"
Hulim held the choke rabbit high in the air and smiled with satisfaction.
“!?!”
The Smothering Rabbit was terrified and struggled desperately with its limbs, while showing its mouthful of sharp teeth and constantly threatening Hulim.
"Be quiet."
Boom!
After one blow, the rabbit immediately became obedient, with only its two hind legs twitching continuously.
Hulim carried the strychnine rabbit and prepared to return to the camp.
After taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked into the deeper jungle in confusion...
Under a big tree.
A furtive man is talking to a mysterious man whose head is covered with a black cloth.
"What? You said there weren't any casualties!? You must be kidding! Our efforts would have been in vain! Do you know how much trouble it took to lure these goblins here?"
The man looked very angry.
“… …”
"Are they too strong? Then don't you know to give them some medicine in advance? I have some for you!"
“… …”
"Adventurers bring their own food, so there's no chance of drugging them?"
"Well... the opportunity is here now."
“… …”
"Haha, there's no water source nearby. Only a few caravans in the entire convoy have enough water. Passengers and adventurers alike will need to refill their water supply through the caravans tomorrow. By then, you..."
“… …”
"Just do what I tell you to do, why are you giving me so many opinions?"
The mysterious man's words suddenly made the man impatient.
"Once you have finished your work, I will naturally consider your request—"
“——Huh!? Who is it?!”
The man seemed to sense something and shouted at the nearby bushes. Then he made a silencing gesture to the mysterious man with one hand, and reached for the sword at his waist with the other hand, while cautiously moving towards that side.
Rustle!
The bushes shook, and the man nervously drew his sword.
Then, a rabbit jumped out from the bushes. Seeing the man holding the knife, it seemed frightened and immediately ran away.
"What? It's a chomp rabbit!"
The man breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put away his sword.
Then he turned to look at the man under the tree and said without allowing any objection:
