Chapter 31 "Skylark" Squad
Chapter 31 "Skylark" Squad
In Sovia's room.
"Mr. Earth Elemental, I'm so anxious!"
Sovia lay sprawled on the bed, whimpering as she poured out her heart:
"There are only a few months left until the initial fire period, but I still haven't accumulated enough points for further education."
"Oh no! I didn't accumulate enough points for college entrance exams, so I'll have to repeat the year!"
Yue Feng really couldn't understand what Sovia was saying.
I got up, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her so she could moisten her throat.
"Ton ton ton~"
Sovia took the wooden cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"But many of my seniors have repeated a year, so repeating it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
She said this as if to comfort herself.
"I remember that many of my seniors had no choice but to join the army in order to advance to higher education."
Yue Feng couldn't stand it any longer, so he immediately got up and walked straight out of the house.
The village of Oak Leaf, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, was quiet and deep in the night.
This is the perfect time to hone your martial arts skills.
"Turning and spinning a thousand times!"
............
The next morning, Aaron got up early and brought the oxcart.
Sovia was still sleeping in.
"Sovaya, wake up, honey! We have to go!"
Aaron called out from his doorway.
Sovia struggled to get out of bed and replied, "Coming! Coming!"
On the way to Moxiang Village, Yue Feng walked the entire way.
The father and daughter were sitting on an oxcart.
There was no way around it; Yue Feng's body, made of earth and stone, was too heavy. If he were to sit on it, even if the oxen could pull it, the cart wouldn't be able to bear the weight.
Around noon, the two men and one woman finally arrived at their destination.
Moxiang Village is located northwest of Xiangye Village, on a relatively high elevation, and a watermill has been built in the village.
The oxcart had just entered the village.
Yue Feng could see a large number of villagers gathered around the mill from afar.
The villagers, each with a farm tool in hand, were in high spirits, and shouts of anger echoed through the air.
"I absolutely refuse! If you refuse to move, I will personally lead the men to rescue them!"
"Our village scraped together over twenty silver coins to invite you here, not so you could just do reconnaissance and observation!"
"Yes! Everyone's right!"
"Those kidnapped by the goblins were all children! They were the lifeblood of our village!"
As the oxcart slowly approached, Yue Feng finally saw that the people surrounding him were actually three adventurers.
They all wore uniform white name tags on their chests.
"Don't worry, we didn't say we wouldn't rescue them, we just want to find out how many goblins there are beforehand."
The man with the knife, who appeared to be the squad leader, stepped forward to explain.
Upon hearing this, several villagers immediately became unhappy.
"With so many of us, plus three adventurers, surely we can handle a bunch of goblins!"
"I did not mean that......"
Yue Feng naturally couldn't understand what everyone was arguing about, so he could only obediently follow behind Sovia.
The three adventurers opposite them glanced over and immediately spotted the upright earth elemental.
Their expressions instantly relaxed.
The adventurer party leader stepped forward, extended his hand to Sovia, and said in a friendly manner:
"Hello, I am Krankie, the leader of the Porcelain-level adventurer team, 'Skylark'."
"These two are Millie and Dak."
Yue Feng immediately focused his attention on the three of them and brought up their character panels.
Ding.
[Name: Krankie ※※※ (lv??)]
[Race: Human, Male, Level 0? (Common Species)]
[Equipment]: Wide-bladed hunting knife (normal)
------
【Name: Miri ※※※ (lv??)】
[Race: Human, Female, Level ? (Common Species)]
[Equipment]: Magic Rune Staff (Fine)
------
【Name: Dark ※※※ (lv??)】
[Race: Human, Male, Level 0? (Common Species)]
[Equipment]: 4 Daggers (Normal)
"Okay, the character panel is still showing gibberish and question marks."
Yue Feng shrugged and quietly watched as Sovia stepped forward to negotiate with them.
Sovia pulled out her adventurer's badge from her pouch and handed it to Cranch.
All four are [White Porcelain] level adventurers, belonging to the lowest level of the adventurer class.
It's not uncommon for adventurers at the bottom to form temporary teams.
However, fixed teams are relatively rare.
The reason is also very simple.
There wasn't enough cake to go around.
The vast majority of white porcelain-level missions are designed specifically for solo or two-person teams.
In addition, the meager compensation makes it even harder for people to form a team.
"Miss Agraria, this earth elemental you summoned looks a bit strange?"
Millie, who was also a mage apprentice, asked in confusion.
Sovia pinched her nose and lied, "I summoned Mr. Earth Elemental yesterday. Maybe I was just lucky."
"Mr. Earth... Mr. Earth Elemental? Why the 'Mr' part?"
Like a wanderer, Dak stepped forward and asked along.
"That...that's not important!"
Sovia pulled Yue Feng, who had wandered to the mill, back to his senses and continued:
"Mr. Earth Elemental, I just killed a goblin yesterday. If you have any questions, you can try asking him."
"Ask whom? Ask the earth element?" Dark frowned immediately.
Just then.
Sovia seemed to suddenly remember something, ignoring everyone else, she turned to Yue Feng, and asked with exaggerated gestures:
"Mr. Earth Elemental, did the goblin from yesterday use any martial arts techniques?"
She knew that the earth element couldn't understand.
He deliberately picked up a stone from the ground and threw it.
Then, he clutched his right calf, trying to make the earth element in front of him recall what had happened a few months ago.
Yue Feng instantly understood what Suovia was trying to say.
He nodded quickly in response.
Even the captain of the Lark Squad, Krankie, frowned this time.
"Who uses martial arts? Goblins can use martial arts?"
He began to regret talking to Sovia.
One minute they're talking to the earth elemental, the next they're saying goblins know martial arts—it's utterly absurd!
But no matter how unreasonable she may seem, Sovia is still a legitimate adventurer.
What we lack now are adventurers, and effective combat power.
Krankie knew very well what was going on.
Don't be fooled by the villagers' current anger and high morale; when they actually encounter a horde of goblins, not one of them will be reliable.
Given the Skylark Squad's consistently cautious approach, they should first ascertain the size of the goblins and develop a battle plan before taking any action.
Instead of leading the villagers to their deaths.
For some reason, he felt a strange unease in his heart, and his right eyelid was twitching.
"I should have known better than to take this commission!"
"Bang bang~"
Yue Feng gently patted Cranch's shoulder with his rocky hand.
The heavy pressure caused Cranch's right shoulder to sag slightly as he turned to look back.
The earth elemental's entire right arm spun rapidly, rotating wildly like a giant electric fan.
"Buzzing!"
The arm churned the air rapidly, producing a dull, low vibration.
The next second, Yue Feng delivered a powerful downward punch to the ground.
"Boom!"
The fist slammed straight into the ground, causing the surrounding soil to tremble and spread out fine cracks.
"Holy crap, the earth elemental knows martial arts!"
