Chapter 180: Two Dryad beauties given for free

On the other side, Geralt accompanied the two beautiful Dryads and had already left Duén Canell.

The plump Marika was a Dryad with a relatively impatient personality. After receiving the Queen's order, she immediately set off without stopping, wanting to take Geralt to investigate the location and situation of the monsters in the commission.

And Aigles's personality was relatively gentle and shy. She walked side by side with Geralt, less than twenty centimeters apart, while telling the information about the monsters they had mastered with a soft and cute voice, while shyly avoiding Geralt's quite aggressive gaze.

Geralt listened to Aigles's narration while appreciating the beautiful scenery on the two Dryads, and had a rough understanding of his task in his mind.

There were three monsters commissioned by the Shujing nvwang to hunt: one was the Arachas Queen hiding in the cave, one was the Royal Griffin nesting on a certain mountain peak, and the other was the thick-skinned and sturdy Bull-headed Beast that rampaged through the entire forest, standing nearly four or five meters tall.

Among these three monsters, the first one, the Arachas Queen, because it often hid in tunnels, the narrow and dark terrain made the bows and arrows that Dryads were best at lose their effect. And entering the cave, Dryads without any armor protection were simply risking their lives facing these elusive Arachas, so regarding this monster, there had been no progress.

And the second one, the Royal Griffin, was because this fierce flying bird could defend against arrows very well, and was flexible and changeable when acting in the air, making it difficult to be aimed at. But they were also an unusually fierce and vengeful monster, often ambushing Dryad girls in various unexpected situations, and then fleeing quickly, not fighting them head-on at all.

So it was normal for Dryads to suffer in front of this kind of monster.

As for the third monster, the Bull-headed Beast, it was easier to understand. This monster was the tank-type meat mountain demon that appeared in the White Orchard in the game, also known as the Bull Demon King.

It not only possessed defensive power far beyond imagination, but its own recovery speed was also comparable to a troll, so even if the Dryads' archery was superb, when facing this kind of monster, it was like hitting an iron plate, and they couldn't break through its defense at all to cause fatal wounds to it.

However, these three monsters were difficult problems for Dryads, but for Geralt, they were not particularly powerful monsters.

Not only because his own strength had reached the top level of witchers, but more importantly, in the many books of Kaer Morhen, many methods and experiences of predecessors dealing with these monsters were recorded.

With these successful experiences, as well as his own powerful strength, dealing with these monsters was simply twice the result with half the effort.

Thus, after a simple discussion with the two Dryad beauties, the first target Geralt chose to eliminate was the Royal Griffin entrenched on a certain mountain peak.

The method to deal with this big rooster flying in the sky was actually not difficult. The two Dryad beauties caught an adult doe, and Geralt took out some Pipe-weed with a strong flavor that had a special attraction to griffins from his storage bag.

Then they were like the shoemaker in Holobor, dealing with the green dragon, stuffing many poisons into the doe's stomach, and attracting the griffin's attention by lighting the Pipe-weed.

When this Royal Griffin, whose intelligence was lower than that of the green dragon, ate the doe Geralt had specially prepared for it to its heart's content, this big rooster, which was originally able to spread its wings and soar, soon lost its ability to fly, which it relied on for survival, and became extremely weak.

In the process of stumbling and fleeing, it fell directly from mid-air, and without any fierce battle, its head was cut off by the witcher Geralt who followed closely behind, turning into various materials.

After the first battle victory, it was getting late. Because he didn't carry the Magic Tent with him, Geralt could only follow the two Dryad beauties, find a tree hole in a high place, spread the Magic Flying Carpet on the ground, hold the two naked beauties, and squeeze together for a night.

How to say it, the feeling was not bad. Although the Dryad beauties lived a life like primitive people, because of their special race, these girls not only had no unpleasant smell on their bodies, but also carried a kind of fragrance like trees and flowers, and felt very smooth and delicate to the touch, soft and fragrant when held in the arms, which was very comfortable.

As for more in-depth characteristics, Geralt hadn't studied them yet, and prepared to understand them in depth when there was a chance in the future.

By the next day, Geralt, in a pleasant mood, cooked a breakfast for the two Dryad beauties himself. Although it was just very simple mushrooms, grilled fish, and fried eggs, his superb cooking skills still made the two Dryads' eyes shine, and the look in their eyes toward him became more intimate.

And after eating breakfast, Geralt's second target chose the thick-skinned Bull-headed Beast, and for this monster, the battle process actually didn't have much to tell.

Just like a traditional witcher hunt, this time Geralt made full pre-battle preparations. Not only did he coat the blade with sword oil specifically for dealing with Bull-headed Beasts, but he also drank five witcher potions that enhanced various functions of the body at the same time.

Until everything was ready, he directly picked up the Statikk Shiv he carried with him and went head-on against this powerful Bull-headed Beast.

Although this monster was thick-skinned and sturdy, with powerful defensive power, and could play a good defensive effect against the Dryads' bows and arrows, when it faced a witcher in full state.

The Statikk Shiv in Master Geralt's hand soon taught this monster what magic damage was and what a divine weapon was.

Relying on agile skills, swift swordplay, and powerful strength, plus the dispensable containment shooting of the two Dryads on the treetops, after about ten minutes of fierce fighting, this Bull-headed Beast, which was king in the forest, was chopped into pieces all over the ground by Geralt head-on.

And the powerful strength Geralt displayed in the battle also deeply shocked the two Dryad beauties who participated in the battle with him.

After the battle ended, when Geralt collected the spoils, he also accidentally obtained a medium-sized red mutagen from this Bull-headed Beast, worth about a few hundred Orens. Whether it was used to make special decoctions or used for mutation experiments, it was quite useful, which could be considered an unexpected gain.

And the third monster in the commission, the Arachas Queen, was indeed a very powerful monster. Even for many experienced witchers, it was a very difficult and powerful enemy, and for Geralt, it was the same. However, unlike other witchers, Master Geralt was known as a "money-power" person. When he considered that entering the underground cave alone to deal with these monsters was both dangerous and inefficient, and prone to accidents.

He decisively chose another way of fighting, that was the bomb-flow witcher that only rich people could choose.

When he was wearing a self-destruct coat tied with dozens of bombs, killing all the way, and rushed to the Arachas Queen's side, the ending of this monster was already predetermined.

Accompanied by the bombs on his body being ignited, Geralt immediately dropped the bombs and directly activated the Blink ability, appearing on the ground hundreds of meters away.

And although the Arachas Queen itself had good strength and had the protection of many Arachas soldiers, when it faced a super explosion trap built by dozens of bombs, whether it was its soldiers or its own hard shell, they could not resist this terrifying explosive power like cluster bombs.

With a loud bang like the earth shaking and mountains moving, the location where the Arachas cave was originally located was directly blown into a huge deep pit. A large amount of rocks and mud splashed, and many trees on the ground also collapsed because of this. A thick smoke and dust directly covered everything caused by the explosion.

Such a scene directly scared the two Dryad beauties who had been hiding in the distance and watching carefully, making their hearts jump.

Although Geralt had told them about his plan in advance and made reminders, when they saw such a shocking scene with their own eyes, it still made these two Dryads who had never seen much of the world feel unprecedented shock.

But soon, they worried about Geralt's situation again. Facing such an explosion, the chance of any creature surviving was very slim.

However, Geralt did not let them worry too much, and soon rushed back from another direction and found the two Dryads.

The commission had been completed. After Geralt chatted with them simply, he prepared to return to the Dryads' home, Duén Canell, to receive his reward from the Shujing nvwang.

In the battle just now, although those dozens of bombs were worth less than three hundred Orens, the Arachas Queen buried in the cave was a very rare monster. Not only might it be pregnant with a large green mutagen in its body, but even some of its own materials also had considerable value.

Geralt hoped to get compensation for these lost spoils from the Shujing nvwang's reward.

………………

Duén Canell.

Returning to the pleasant Dryad home again, Geralt met the Shujing nvwang again in front of the large wooden house.

But I don't know if it was an illusion, but when they met this time, Geralt vaguely felt that the Shujing nvwang's attitude toward him had changed.

Although it was still that expressionless, unsmiling, and serious look, the occasional gaze and tone of voice seemed to be a bit closer.

But he didn't think much about it, bowed slightly to the beautiful Queen, and said:

"Ms. Eithne, your commission has been completed by me. Those three monsters have all been killed by me. Marika and Aigles can testify for me."

The Shujing nvwang nodded gently upon hearing this, acting very decisively, without asking Marika and Aigles, and waved to the two Dryads beside her.

Soon, a cloth bag filled with various gold coins and jewelry was placed in front of Wayne.

Before Geralt could say anything else, the Shujing nvwang said: "Thank you, witcher Geralt."

"You helped our Dryad race get rid of three dangerous enemies."

"The gold and jewelry here are worth about one thousand Crowns. They are the reward for your task this time."

"In addition to this, you will become a friend of our Dryad race. In the future, when you encounter danger, you can come here to seek help."

Saying this, this beautiful Shujing nvwang looked at Marika and Aigles who were following Geralt, a complex look flashed in her eyes, but soon she said:

"As a witness to our friendship, Marika and Aigles will forever become your personal guards, leave this forest with you, and forever guard your safety."
