Just as he left the cave, Daedalus, who was standing outside the door, suddenly rose up and screamed in a rather rapid voice.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rhubarb also smelled a strange smell, revealing her hideous teeth and letting out a warning roar.

Xin Sheng quickly sorted out his mood and hid in a dense bush with rhubarb.

“Sharp ~”

The sound of some object passing through the leaves was gradually approaching. Xin Sheng pointed the back of rhubarb with his finger to make it ready to attack at any time.

‘This cave is very remote. If you didn’t look for it specifically, it would be impossible to find it, that is to say…’

It was not convenient to pull the bow in the bushes, and Xin Sheng kept peeking in the direction of movement through the leaves.

‘Enemy's companion?’

"Suck~"

As the other party gradually approached, Dahuang suddenly twitched her nose a few times, and a strange look appeared in her eyes.

Xin Sheng was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Dahuang showing this expression in a crisis.

‘What’s going on?’

“Brush ~”

A figure wearing a full set of brown leather armor came out of the forest. Xin Sheng, who was originally highly alert, was suddenly stunned when he saw the other party's face.

‘Natya? How could she be here? Couldn’t it be…’

The intention of guarding others is necessary. Xin Sheng was shocked and decided to wait and see the changes for the time being.

He hoped that his guess this time was wrong.

Natiya's infiltration skills were more urgent than Xin Sheng. This girl actually walked along the bushes.

Judging from the obvious claw marks left on the leather armor she was wearing, she must have fought with many beasts along the way.

Walking to the entrance of the cave casually, Natiya symbolically hid and looked into the cave without any concealment.

“Ha~”

Xin Sheng patted his forehead with a lot of laughter and tears: "...It's time to give this girl a lesson again after she goes back, at least to let her understand what she needs to pay attention to when sneaking in."

Seeing this, Xin Sheng had roughly guessed the whole story, and the dark guess that emerged before was wrong.

Fortunately, it was wrong, otherwise Xin Sheng would have to be ready to run away.

"Natya."

"who?!"

Someone suddenly called his name in the deep mountains and forests. Natiya, who was about to rush into the cave, shivered all over, subconsciously protected her body with a shield, and looked around vigilantly.

"Here, stupid girl."

Xin Sheng stood up speechlessly from the bushes, and Dahuang also stuck out her tongue and trotted closer to Natiya.

No wonder Rhubarb suddenly showed a strange expression before, and it turned out that she smelled the smell of an acquaintance.

As for the strange smell, it's easy to say. Natiya's leather armor was stained with a lot of blood, which should be left by the robbers she solved.

Xin Sheng walked to Natiya in anger and tapped her head with his fingers.

"Your vigilance is too bad, you just swaying through the forest."

"If there were really people in the cave, the movement you made would have been heard long ago."

"Haha~ That's it..."

Natiya scratched her head embarrassedly: "I can't do anything about it, after all, my equipment is not suitable for infiltrating, and it is inevitable to make a squeezing sound."

Xin Sheng shook his head helplessly: "...Forget it, I will preach to you when I go back, and exchange some information first."

"Why did you find this place?"

...

Just as Xin Sheng speculated, the group of robbers Natiya cleaned up near the eastern coastline was related to the Order God Cult, and their employer was the nameless bear skin man who had already died at Xin Sheng's hands.

Based on the information obtained by Natiya, Xin Sheng finally knew his name.

"His name is Melansos, and he is active on Samos on the Aegean Sea for many years."

"It is said that he is also a local nobleman, with many quirks that ordinary people cannot understand. He has only arrived in Fokis by boat recently."

"Melansos hired a robber to kill a Delphi official who opposed the Order God Cult, and threw the blame on the robber he hired to attack."

Through the exchange of intelligence with Xin Sheng, Natiya roughly understood the whole story.

After turning on the papyrus scroll and observing, Natiya frowned and said, "My mission was issued by another Delphi official who was resentful of the Order God. He had guessed that it was the man who hired robbers."

"If the robber leader had not disclosed the employer's information under my severe torture, once all the robbers were silenced, it would be difficult to trace the source of the employer."

The Order God Cult has a powerful network of forces and personal connections throughout Greece, but this does not mean that they can completely control the senior officials of Greek city-states, otherwise there is no need to continue hiding in the shadows.

If there are officials who surrender to the Order God Cult, there will naturally be officials who firmly oppose them.

The Order God Cult has always had zero tolerance for the rebels. They will use various shameless means to erase the existence of the enemy and then support their confidants.

“Melansos, Samos…”

Xin Sheng habitually touched the bridge of his nose, and his eyes showed a look of thought.

"You go back to Delphi to get the mission first. I will go to the western mountain area to hunt a powerful beast. We will discuss it in detail after returning to Kira Town in the evening."

...

Daphne did not set a deadline for the hunting mission, but Xin Sheng planned to get the boar done before leaving Kira Town.

As the assembly time of the Order God Cult is getting closer, Xin Sheng has already obtained what he needs. As long as he finds enough clues in Elpino's manor, he can leave Kira Town and go to Delphi City.

The place where the Order God Church assembles is located below the Apollo Temple in Delphi City, and this secret organization is also bold enough.

After entering the western mountainous area, Xin Sheng discovered several daughters of Artemis who were hunting nearby, all of whom were Daphne's subordinates.

When they learned that Xin Sheng was planning to formally challenge the Kaludong wild boar, these female hunters tacitly stopped their work and followed Xin Sheng to the Kaludong wild boar's habitat.

The number of wild boars on this mountain is significantly exceeding the standard, and wild boars lacking food occasionally go to the foot of the mountain to harm the farmland.

This is also the reason why the large number of members of Artemis' daughters appear here.

As believers of the hunting goddess Artemis, they came here to maintain the local ecological balance and hunt overbreeding wild boars.

When they arrived at the periphery of the wild boars of Kaludong, all the hunters stopped tacitly and watched Xin Sheng move forward alone.

"Cry!"

Daedalus issued a warning cry from the air. A giant animal twice the size of an ordinary wild boar appeared in Xin Sheng's sight.

"…What did this guy grow up with? Species mutation?"

The giant wild boar had not yet discovered Xin Sheng lurking nearby, and was rolling happily in the mud and water.

This behavior, which seems very confusing to humans, is the habit of wild boars.

First of all, the wild boar has no sweat glands and the fat layer on its body is very thick.

To cool the body, they lower their body temperature by rolling in the mud when the weather is hot.

Secondly, wild boars have a large number of parasites.

Rolling in mud and water will cover the body of the wild boar with a thick layer of moist mud. After the mud and water dry, it will naturally crack and fall off, and it can also take away parasites on the wild boar.

Xin Sheng is located at the extreme distance that the Kaludong wild boar cannot detect, and the two are about 100 meters apart.

Further forward is the muddy land without vegetation, and once you walk out of the bushes, you will be discovered immediately.

‘Let’s go first and try the defense of this wild boar.’

It is difficult to shoot directly with a 60-pound bow at a distance of 100 meters, so Xin Sheng chose to shoot.

After calculating the wind direction and wind power, Xin Sheng lifted the bow with the full string at an elevation angle.

"Bang!"

The sound of the shaking bowstring alarmed the Calydon wild boar who was playing with mud. The giant wild boar with scars in his left eye immediately stood up and turned to the direction of the sound, not paying attention to the arrows that drew parabolas in the air.

"Click!"

The falling arrow was just stuck on the back of the Calydon wild boar.

"yeah!"

The Calydon wild boar who was caught in the arrow made an angry scream, but in fact this arrow did not really hurt it.

The skin and fat layers of wild boars are notoriously thick. Shooting rifles with insufficient power are difficult to penetrate their defense layers, let alone shooting at a hunting bow of only 60 pounds.

The sharp arrows just pierced the skin of the Calydon wild boar, making it feel a little pain.

Xin Sheng's attack not only failed to hurt the opponent, but instead triggered the anger of the wild boar of Kaludong.

"It's true, then..."

Put away the hunting bow that did not work, Xin Sheng took out a pair of short spears that had been prepared long ago.
