Abnormal Assassin

Part 108 The journey begins

Inori and I went back to the herbal shop when it was noon. I was worried about being late, when Bailee hadn't even arrived.

Not long Bailee came with an additional 7 people. Consists of 5 men and 2 women.

2 Women who came were Archer, of 5 men 2 of them were mage warriors.

"Sorry late. Have you been waiting for a long time?"(Bailee) "Not really, we just arrived" "Well, these are the ones who will help on the way. I'm expecting your help too"(Bailee)

"Of course" "Include me Broody, this is Axel, and he's Desmon for 2 beautiful women there Desha and Erika"(Broody) "Halo"(Desha) Erika just nodded.

"They are both Alchemists who will help later Arlo and Lester"(Bailee)

"Alchemist yes. I also understand about it even though I'm more focused on poison"

"Therefore I need your help"(Bailee)

The journey begins with a single horse-drawn carriage.

Me and Inori were at the very front cleaning the Dood grass. Not as much as yesterday, but still dangerous.

Sometimes snakes attack. Inori easily killed him. The journey continued until in front of Venom Forest.

The number of snakes increased, but it did not force me to move. We went back to the train because it was time for lunch.

The fire was made for cooking.

They are also experts in cooking.

"Where are you?"(Axel) "Let's eat"(Broody) "I brought a snake. Can anyone cook it?" "You two didn't get poisoned, did you?"(Arlo) "For now anyway not"

We ate together. Inori conversed with Desha and Erika. Not long ago Bailee also joined us.

"How are things going around?"(Bailee) "In addition to snakes there are no other monsters anyway" "This forest is famous for its poisonous insect monstets"(Desmon) "They are also fast, so better be careful"(Axel)

"I understand" "It's better not to push yourself. If you feel poisoned it is better to retreat so that you can be given an antidote"(Lester) "I understand"

"By the way are there any non-toxic herbs you found?"(Lesters)

"For now not. Mostly poisonous, I saw a Toxray flower not far ahead. Better prepare the antidote and antibodies first"

"Toxray Flowers? Then there's Toxic hornet?"(Bailee) "Unfortunately. There's even a nest not far away"

Toxicray flowers are like larger trumpet flowers. The flower sprays poison into the air to invite insects.

This poison if inhaled can make dizziness, vomiting, and weakness. The problem was that the invited insect was a Toxic hornet.

Toxic hornets are arm-sized forest bees that can sting and spray poison. They are terrible because they are always in a group to attack.

The poison is also very painful.

"Does it matter if we continue?"(Bailee) "But the Toxic hornet is a dangerous creature"(Axel) "It seems quite difficult to make a bidder in large numbers"(Arlo)

"I can make a protector in a horse carriage only. It is not strong if it holds many attacks at once. At least some should protect the horse carriage"

"Then it doesn't matter. We can try it"(Axel) "If you don't have a problem, let's go"(Bailee)

After lunch we continued our journey. Do not wait for long the Toxicray flower is visible and it is as far as the eye can see.

Not only that hundreds of toxic hornets also fell around the flowers.

"You all wear it!!"((Arlo) Arlo gives a mask to cover the nose

I'm the only one not wearing it

"Hey you better wear it too"(Inori) "No, dear equipment set" "Why don't you wear it?"(Bailee)

"Just calm. I'm an expert in the poison department. So sometimes it takes a little poisoning to be immune"

"Give up, if poisoning don't you dare to ask the antidote"(Arlo) "Just calm down"

I stuck a knife around the horse-drawn carriage.

Me and Inori are moving forward. Just slightly smelling the flowers reminds me of the time I used the portal.

I stopped and bowed "Ryan, are you okay?"(Inoi) "Relax. And cover your ears. Sonic roar"

I let out a shrill voice, all the bees fell to the ground hearing my voice.

"For Inori" "well"(Inori) Inori came forward and killed the fallen bees.

We move slowly. Inori was busy cleaning the bees. After a long time, the bees stood up again.

Desha and Erika shoot the bees with arrows. I also took out a small tube filled with needles to shoot at the bees.

The fight did not last long. After passing all the flowers. Bees stopped attacking us.

The journey feels smooth after that occasional snake, or scorpion attack besides that there is nothing else.

The forest has not many animals in it. So we get poisoned more often than we get attacked by animals.

According to Bailee there are not many animals here because it is close to the nest of firebolt ant. So the trip only takes 1 day 1 night to get to the destination.

And tomorrow morning it's out of the woods.

A rustling sound rang out, now that I and Inori were on the side of the path.

I harvested some poisonous mushrooms and non-toxic mushrooms.

"Is this not a problem? Does this forest feel more desolate?"(Inori) "just calm down. For a while it's safe, let's go"

"Wait for me"(Inori) Me and Inori walked deeper into the middle of the forest. And look at them, the Firebolt ant.

The number of tens on average of them had a level of 15-20. But the number and magnitude is terrible.

The size of a child. The number is difficult maybe later after Inori got the skill.

"Let's go back!!" "I thought we'd hunt"(Inori) "If now, nyari dies her name"

The day began to twilight, around the rustling sound more and more often heard. Me and Inori are back in the carriage.

The others are ready to fight.

The sound of the collision of the sword and shield sounded.

"They're attacking!!"(Broody) "They're so fast!!"(Axels)

I'm giving poison to my knife.

I've also raised all of my stat to 40 all, besides Agility 50.

I'm entering stealth mode. Inori was also prepared. I attacked the one Axel was holding.

I stabbed the creature in the back before it moved. It turned out to be a giant Mantis, the size of a human.

Inori came, and Axel hit the Mantis with his shield while I also dodged to the side.

Inori quickly used Charge and stabbed the mantis. I'm out and helping Broody.

2 Mantis appeared and attacked me.

"Penta Shield" A millimeter shield came out in front of me resisting the attacks of the two mantises.

A chain of lightning came out and drunk the two of them, a few more mantises were hit by the swing attack of my whip and died.

I quickly killed them all. Other than the speed and blades they had poisonous there was nothing special.

The fight continued until night. After dark the Mantis did not attack again ending today's fight.
