Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 42 The Huntress

"Who are you? This is where I live when I hunt." The woman with the huge bow on her back said first. She should be in her 30s and about the height of Rhodes, wearing a gray wolf fur coat, brown hair, and long hair on her cheeks. There are many freckles, and a pair of arms that are a little thick because of bowing for many years.

"My sister and I got lost in the forest. We found this wooden house and stayed in it for one night." Rhodes replied blushing.

Aya glared at him fiercely.

"Oh? Why am I still smelling blood and death here?" The huntress raised her eyebrows.

"The smell of blood and death you smell should be from me. I got some injuries from fighting with wild wolves the day before yesterday, but I also killed a few of them." Rhodes replied.

The huntress looked him up and down, and said, "The injury you suffered the day before yesterday shouldn't heal so quickly. The injury on your body was at least ten days ago."

After hearing this, Rhodes looked at his right hand. The right hand was pierced by Peart's long sword before. Now the wound has scabbed over, and even the bones have regrown, and even the palm of his right hand can still move. He just dipped the plant I use my right finger to brush my teeth with powder, and the injury does heal a little faster.

Aya also found out, and looked at him in surprise, maybe she thought it must be some kind of magical magic again.

Rhodes wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't make it up except to tell the truth, but he didn't want to tell the truth. If he said that he had applied a very effective medicine, the huntress would ask him to show her what medicine it was What should I do.

No, why would I subconsciously answer her question.

"I don't seem to need to explain so much to you. You are the owner here, and we are temporarily staying in your house. If you want us to leave now, we can leave immediately." Rhodes said.

The huntress nodded, "You'd better leave this forest as soon as possible. It's much more dangerous than you imagined. If you are willing to pay me, I can even lead you out."

She is a good match for Baron, Rhodes thought to himself, and he said, "Can I pay with a sword?"

The huntress pulled out the dagger at her waist and shouted, "Boy, are you desperate?"

Rhodes quickly said, "You misunderstood the meaning. I meant to use the sword as a commission for you to take us out. I can give you a sword." The huntress obviously misunderstood Rhodes' meaning before. It is to fight.

After eliminating Peart and the three mercenaries yesterday, Rhodes got three swords and an axe.

The Huntress nodded. "Okay, that's fair."

"Can we go after dinner?" Aya asked, she looked at the huntress with wide eyes.

Just looking at Aya's appearance or listening to her voice, it is impossible to tell whether she is a little boy or a little girl. Although she has always insisted that she is a girl, Rhodes has already regarded her as a boy, and it is very likely that she is Da The noble girl that Neil abducted, but he didn't want to expose it.

The huntress hesitated for a while but agreed, "You guys do it, but I want to watch."

When Aya heard this, she poured out the burnt stuff in the pot and ran to the stream to wash the pot.

Rhodes walked into the cabin and began to organize things. He was going to give Peart's short sword to Aya, a mercenary's long sword to the huntress as a commission, and keep the remaining long sword and an ax for himself.

Aya ran back with the pot, "Have you figured out what we will eat?"

Rhodes took out some potatoes and corned beef from the backpack on the table, "We'll eat this."

……

After eating the goulash with potatoes made by Aya under the supervision of Rhodes, the three of them left the forest.Even without the addition of peppery soy sauce it made Aya and Huntress delicious.

The huntress walked in the front, and Rhodes and Aya followed her. Rhodes encountered a lot of deceptions after he came to this world, from the necromancer who pretended to be a businessman at the beginning to the one who almost met yesterday. The mercenary who killed him with an axe.He doesn't trust the huntress at all now, but Aya can still trust a little.

"How did you two get lost and come into this forest?" the huntress asked curiously.

"What's wrong with this forest?" Rhodes avoided the topic of getting lost, but instead asked the huntress about the situation of this forest.

The huntress said as she walked, "There is a strange curse in this forest. The animals in it will become very aggressive. Many times, they will give up more favorable options such as running away, but will choose to fight the enemy to the end."

"Is it affected by some magic equipment?" Rhodes asked, which reminded him of his first magic equipment "Wise Men's Calamity".

"I don't know, maybe it is, someone said so." The huntress shook her head, "Some people also said that it was because a great Nord nobleman was buried here, and he built a magic circle that affects people's minds on his own. In the mausoleum, the power of the magic circle is beyond the imagination of the builder, and it also affects the animals living on the ground."

She looked up at the sky again and said, "It's not very early now, we'd better build a bonfire before dark, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

She continued to walk forward, and reached a place with a slightly higher terrain, "That's right here." She said, then put her luggage on the ground, and began to collect things nearby to build a temporary camp.

"Just sit there and rest for a while, your injury hasn't healed yet." Aya said to Rhode just as he was about to start helping.

Rhodes would definitely not let go of the opportunity to be lazy, and even Aya allowed him to be lazy, so he sat on the ground cheekily.

The night is approaching, and the temperature is getting lower. Rhodes is very curious about how he fell asleep in such a cold yesterday.

"You just sit here and watch us two women go to work?" The huntress who came back with a bunch of branches mocked.

Of course I mean it, but I won't say it out loud.

"I can make a fire." Rhodes replied.

The huntress gave him a disdainful look, and went to pick up wood again.

After a day's rest, the magic power in Rhodes body recovered more than half. With the experience from last time, this time he directly used the gravity technique to quickly create a bonfire.

A little obsessive-compulsive, he also arranged the bonfire and branches neatly under the control of mental power, and he looked at his masterpiece with a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, a pot hit him, and it was the huntress, "Don't just sit there in a daze, you should prepare the meal before you daze."

He searched in his backpack, and the only vegetable in it was cabbage, which he didn’t like to eat very much, but it would be nice to have vegetables in winter, but eating meat alone is still too boring. He has been using meat as a substitute these days. staple food.

Take out the corned beef that can only be eaten again, this time a cabbage goulash?
Stewing beef every day made him a little uncomfortable. While the huntress was away, he found some red leaves in her bag. He took a piece and smelled it, and found that it smelled like pepper.

It's not bad to make hot pot with beef and cabbage with pepper, and there is a potato...
