Chapter 260: The world's martial arts, only fast and unbreakable! (2)

And as they watched Charlotte collect the spoils from Wuto and the three wolfmen, they felt somewhat uneasy.

He was so proficient, it didn't seem like this was his first time doing this kind of thing.

Charlotte picked up the money bags from the three wolfmen. They were even poorer, with a total of just over 30,000 copper coins.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"This is for you." Charlotte threw one of the money bags with tens of thousands of copper coins to Jonah.

"You... you should keep it. We didn't do anything. It was you who saved our lives," Jonah replied, without even opening the money bag, and handed it back with both hands.

"Yes, thank you for saving us," Celia added, her face filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for Charlotte's intervention today, they would undoubtedly have died at the hands of the Wuto Mercenary Group, and Celia's fate might have been even more tragic.

"It's nothing. We're partners, and you were the first to think of protecting me. They're all paupers, each with just a few thousand copper coins. Keep it, consider it today's earnings," Charlotte said with a smile.

Jonah saw that Charlotte had no intention of taking the money bags, so he didn't continue to refuse and accepted them, saying, "Thank you."

"You're injured. Let me take care of your wounds." Charlotte looked at Jonah, who had several scratches on his arms and chest from the earlier battle, and they were still bleeding.

"You're going through all this trouble." Jonah didn't refuse. It wasn't a good thing to be injured in the wilderness, and having a professional doctor to help treat the wounds was undoubtedly the best.

Charlotte took out potions and stitches, and after cleaning and changing the dressing, he stitched up the wounds. In a moment, he had treated Jonah's wounds.

After putting away the stitches and potions, Charlotte slashed at a nearby pillar riddled with holes.

The pillar split in half from the middle and fell to both sides.

Two white shooting star mice were startled and rushed out from the holes, spreading their wings and trying to fly away.

Charlotte jumped over with a single step, and when he landed back on the ground, he already had the two shooting star mice in his hands.

With their white bodies and furry long tails, they looked somewhat like squirrels, but even cuter.

"Are these little things what you're looking for?" Charlotte looked at Jonah and asked.

"Yes, it's them." Jonah nodded dazedly. Man, if he had caught the shooting star mice like that, he wouldn't have had to go through the trouble of blowing smoke to drive them away.

"In that case, your mission is complete." Charlotte handed the two shooting star mice to Jonah.

Jonah quickly took out a pouch used for holding small beasts and put them inside, shaking his head, and said, "You caught them, I'll deliver them to the client and get the commission before returning them to you."

Charlotte shook his head slightly and said, "No need, consider these two meteor rodents as your spoils. I want the Seven-Star Fruit."

Being able to make the Ut Mercenary Group stay here for several days, the Seven-Star Fruit must be a valuable treasure.

Since there is only one fruit, he naturally doesn't want to share it equally with Jonah and his sister. Consider these two meteor rodents as compensation for them.

Jonah's eyes widened, understanding immediately, and nodded, "Alright."

Accepting these two meteor rodents signifies that he agrees to the distribution plan.

Of course, danger lurked everywhere in the wilderness.

Encounters like the one they had today were not the first for the siblings, but their luck had always been good, and they had always managed to survive.

The encounter with more beasts increased on the way back, and they even encountered a level two raging boar.

However, Charlotte didn't need to take action. With one headbutt from Jonah, the 1,000-pound black boar was knocked to the ground. Then, Celica finished it off with a spear, and it breathed its last.

The siblings revealed their cruel side.

The advantage of the half-beast's strength was demonstrated in them.

"Hehe, although I don't have a magic core, the meat of the raging boar is excellent. Selling it to the butcher can fetch a good price." Jonah simply put the 1,000-pound boar to the side and happily acted like a fool.

This boar marked the perfect end to their wilderness venture.

Ordinarily, to ensure their safety, he might have just cut a piece of boar hoof to take, but with Charlotte accompanying them, they no longer needed such precautions. They could take the shorter route.

"Great, I think it's a valuable herb. Let's dig it up if we find it next time. I can buy it from you for 2,000 copper coins per vine." Charlotte accepted it as a favor to them.

"If we find it, we'll dig it up for you without mentioning money." Jonah smiled.

"No, this should be a commissioned task. If you don't accept payment, then I won't commission you anymore." Charlotte spoke firmly. It didn't make sense to occupy their valuable space without compensation for the oversized vines.

At 2,000 copper coins per Golden Vine, it fell well within his acceptable range. It was less than ten copper coins per vial when divided out.

Reluctantly, Jonah agreed to his proposal. Selling a Golden Vine at 2,000 copper coins meant that they now had a safety net when venturing into the wilderness in the future. If they couldn't hunt any prey, they could search for Golden Vines instead, ensuring they weren't empty-handed for the day.

With Celica's ability, finding Golden Vines wouldn't be difficult, especially compared to catching meteor rodents.

The rest of the journey went smoothly. Along the way, they even ate the packed lunch that Charlotte had brought. After walking for another hour or so, they safely exited the wilderness and arrived at the three-way intersection.

"Doctor, there's still some time before it gets dark. We should go to Calva's Adventurer Guild to deliver the meteor rodents to the client and sell the pig. Are you heading straight back to the Abyss?" Jonah asked while looking at Charlotte.

"Yes, we'll part ways here." Charlotte nodded. He didn't plan on going to Calva at the moment.

"If you ever want to go into the wilderness again, just let me know anytime." Jonah chuckled. "Although my strength isn't anything great, I'm quite familiar with the outer paths."

Charlotte smiled at his offer and nodded. "Sure, next time I have the opportunity, I'll go into the mountains with you."

"Farewell, Doctor." Celica and Charlotte waved their hands, and the three of them went their separate ways.

It was still early afternoon, and there was some time before sunset. Charlotte glanced in the direction of Calva and turned around to head back to the Abyss entrance.

This trip to the wilderness had been fruitful.

The battle with the black bear spirit had also taught him a valuable lesson.

In martial arts, speed is key.

The Evil God was true to his word.
