Chapter 1014 - 1014 Dragon Mosquito

1014 Dragon Mosquito

“Sir, if you’re heading to the forest outside the village, our Chamber of Commerce has another commission. To be honest, all major Chambers of Commerce are looking for a mercenary team,” The shop owner asked with an amiable expression, “Do you know about the Cesar Forest?”

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were both at a loss.

No. Where the hell was that?

However, in the eyes of the shop owner, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei’s expressions were one of fear.

“There’s no need to be nervous. I know that the Cesar Forest is not part of the Empire’s territory, and the Empire has also explicitly forbidden citizens from entering the forest,” The boss sighed and continued, “But it’s hard to make a living in this world these years. Proper businesses don’t make much money. I won’t hide it from you two, but we’re not the only Chamber of Commerce that has secretly entered the Cesar Forest.”

“To be honest, the Empire knows about this as well. They even purchase some of the specialties of the Cesar Forest from the various Chambers of Commerce. However, this business has died down since two months ago.”

Fang Heng had no interest in the commission at first, but after hearing the story, he couldn’t help but feel a little curious. He asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“The entrance area of the Cesar Forest has been occupied by a group of dragon mosquitoes. Once we enter the area of the Cesar Forest, we’ll be attacked by a large number of dragon mosquitoes. As such, it’s been a long time since we entered the depths of the forest, and we’ve suffered heavy losses. The major Chambers of Commerce have discussed and thus issued a reward notice. If anyone can help us deal with that batch of dragon mosquitos, we are willing to give a generous reward.”

[Hint: The player has triggered a trial side mission, the annoying dragon mosquitoes.]

[mission title: The annoying dragon mosquitoes]

[Mission requirement: A large number of dragon mosquitoes have occupied the area of the Cesar Forest. Please assist the Chambers of Commerce in clearing the dragon mosquito swarm at the entrance of the Cesar Forest.]

[Mission reward: 2 hours of additional trial time, gold coins, materials, reputation, and other rewards.]

Hmm? To think he could trigger another mission?

A trial side mission?

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat and he read the mission description carefully.

However, wasn’t this mission reward a little too f*cking ridiculous?

The Cesar Forest was located deep in the forest, and a round trip would take three to four hours for ordinary players.

Yet the reward was only two hours of extra trial time?

After all calculations, wouldn’t he lose two hours instead?

Fang Heng was about to refuse when he saw Mo Jiawei giving him a look.

“Hey, old Fang,” Mo Jiawei pulled Fang Heng to the side, his eyes full of excitement, “Dragon mosquitoes, the dragon mosquitoes!”

“Huh? What about the dragon mosquito?”

Mo Jiawei knew that one of Fang Heng’s purposes in coming over was to awaken the seeds of the sacred tree, so he lowered his voice and whispered, “It’s said that dragon mosquitos have a trace of the dragon race’s bloodline in them. Do you think their blood will be very strong?”

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up as he immediately understood.

Dragon race’s bloodline?

That’s right, it’s said that the dragon race’s bloodline was super strong.

If the dragon mosquitos could provide high-level blood…

Other than that, the insects and wild beasts in the forest outside the village were quite intelligent. They would run away upon encountering a group of Lickers. As a result, the Lickers’ farming efficiency had been very low. In the previous half an hour, they had only managed to get about 20 tier 1 mutation crystals. They are still a long way from leveling up.

Now, according to the shop owner, there was a large number of dragon mosquitoes at the entrance of Cesar Forest.

A large number! If they could wipe them out all at once…

Leveling up, drawing blood, and completing missions. He could kill three birds with one stone!

Fang Heng was quite tempted.

Should he just let Wei Tao wait for a few hours?

After all, Hani City’s city gates were closed and they could not go over. They just needed to reach Hani City before dawn the next day.

Yes, he should just let Wei Tao wait.

After making the decision, Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the shop owner, then said, “Very well. We will accept the commission. We’ll go and take a look on the way.”

“Hahaha, that’s great. Good luck. Tianli Mercenary works closely with all merchants. We have already signed an agreement with them. The mercenary group has already set up a camp near the entrance of the Cesar Forest. You can go there and seek help. In addition, there have been several mercenary groups that have accepted the commission as well and are heading there. All of you can work together.”

“Okay, I got it.”

While they were talking, a few staff pushed three full carts into the lobby from the back room.

“These are the supplies you wanted. Please check them carefully.”

“Of course,” Mo Jiawei went forward to check, then nodded at Fang Heng.

“Let’s go,” Under the surprised gazes of the villagers outside, Fang Heng and his team of five pushed the small cart full of special tools and materials toward the forest outside the village.

Let’s go! Their destination was the forest area!

Time to stock up!

…

Night fell.

In an open space in the forest outside the village where the trees had been cleared, a temporary camp had been set up.

Piles of stone and wood were piled up on the open space in piles as tall as small hills.

The newly cast furnace also started to work.

With logs, furnaces, and iron ore, it was not difficult to build a temporary camp.

Fang Heng tried to set up a vampires’ altar on the spot.

The altar could increase the strength of the vampires in the vicinity and also condense blood. It could condense blood to about LV8 strength.

Activating and maintaining the altar required at least LV5 blood.

What he lacked the most now was blood.

Insects also had blood-like lymph. Fang Heng had tried to collect some when he was killing the spiders. Unfortunately, the effect of insect blood was slightly worse than beast blood, and their volumes were even less.

After the temporary camp was set up, Qiu Yaokang began to set up the research room with haste.

When the laboratory was completed, he would immediately start to study the stone box that they had brought out from the cave.

On the other side, Sandy was carrying paint. He had already finished modifying the appearance of the Lickers and had made them look like ghouls.

They might encounter players in the trial, so it was better to be safe.

Seeing that the temporary residence and research institute had been completed, it was time to go to the mission site to take a look.

Dragon mosquitoes!

The bloodline of the ancient dragon race was very tempting.

He would first kill a wave of monsters and get some blood back. With that, he could probably complete the blood awakening tonight and start the main trial mission tomorrow.

Fang Heng roughly arranged the schedule in his heart.

As the sky gradually darkened, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei left Victor and the other two NPCs in the camp, as well as a group of Lickers and the fusion Tyrant form to protect them while they went to search for the dragon mosquitoes.

Four fusion Tyrant forms opened up a path in front, and the two followed the small path in the forest that was marked on the map to explore.

The small path was left behind by the merchants.

In recent years, merchants had been sneaking into the forest, and they had spent a lot of money to transport supplies.

Perhaps it was because the fusion Tyrant forms’ tall and big bodies were very intimidating, but Fang Heng didn’t encounter any eyesores that came looking for trouble along the way.

As they walked along the path and crossed a small hill, Mo Jiawei noticed a fire in the distance.

“Fang Heng, look over there.”
