In the Kelan Forest, unless you were extremely unlucky, you would not encounter any monsters above the Silver Rank, or even the Fine Steel Rank. As a Hematite Rank, Awu would hardly encounter any danger in the Kelan Forest.
But it would be different in the Cangqing Plains. Although it is the first level of the White Tower, according to the cases recorded in the adventure manual of the Adventurer's Guild, silver-level and even gold-level monsters have appeared in the Cangqing Plains.
Every time such a special case occurs, many adventurers will die, including talented professionals and adventurers who are just trying to get by.
Therefore, if Awu can avoid going to the Cangqing Plain, he will try not to go there. At worst, he can just do more tasks in the Clan Forest. After all, the tasks in the Clan Forest are impossible to be completed. In addition to a large number of clients, the Adventurer's Guild will also issue tasks to collect materials and herbs, and they are long-term tasks with no restrictions or deadlines. Although the rewards are lower than personal commissions, the advantage is that it can be done at any time, even if you haven't accepted the task, you just need to explain it when submitting the materials and herbs.
Every time Awu came to the Clan Forest to do a mission, he would pay attention to where there were herbs and some materials that were easier to get, such as slime gel, or some fruits that contained a little magic power, which were all good items to exchange for money.
Awu felt that she was very lucky today. Not only did she complete the task early, but she also found a place rich in herbs and picked a lot of herbs, as well as more than a dozen red magic mushrooms.
If she could convert all of it into money, maybe she could take a break tomorrow and only do half a day's work.
She has been doing missions recently and running around in the Clan Forest all the time. She is exhausted. If it weren't for the obsession in her heart that supported her, Awu might have collapsed long ago.
If I take a break tomorrow, I should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Awu walked back while thinking about whether he should just sleep in tomorrow.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!"
Three cold arrows flew straight towards Awu.
Although Awu was alert, the angles of the three arrows were too tricky. She only dodged one. One of the other two arrows pierced Awu's left arm, and the other hit Awu's right thigh.
Awu wanted to scream, but found that he couldn't open his mouth at all.
There is paralysis medicine on the arrow!
Awu looked at the three adventurers who walked out of the shadows with a desperate expression.
"Boss, you are really awesome. This little girl actually walked this way."
An adventurer laughed happily.
"Humph~ I've been watching you for so many days, even a pig should be able to see through it."
The leading adventurer glanced at his younger brother with a look of disappointment.
"Put it in your bag and take it with you."
"Yes!"
Another younger brother took off the big backpack that Awu was carrying on his back, poured out all the herbs, red magic mushrooms and other materials that Awu had picked with great effort, picked up Awu and stuffed him in.
This huge backpack is very sturdy and can hold a lot of things, so it is more than enough for Awu.
After the three men destroyed the things on the ground, they left at a very fast speed and no one saw this scene.
As they got closer to Baishi Town, the three adventurers began to chat like other adventurers, and even complained that the rewards for their previous missions were too low. They talked about topics that ordinary adventurers often talked about, and there was no flaw at all.
Awu became more and more desperate because she found that she seemed unable to escape.
But what she thought of first at this time was not her own life, but her adoptive father Kate.
If she couldn't go back, Kate would definitely come find her.
But given his physical condition, he would probably die in the White Tower.
When he thought of this, Awu wanted to struggle.
However, the effect of the paralyzing drug was too strong, and Awu's body could not move at all.
So, she was taken to a basement by three adventurers and locked up.
Awu didn't know exactly where in Baishi Town this place was, but she knew very well that Baishi Town had a huge and complex underground waterway, so many gray adventurers had secret rooms in the underground waterway.
She might have been taken to such a place.
Awu didn't know what the other party was going to do, but she knew that these three people didn't intend to kill her.
Because they not only helped her pull out the arrow, but also used a bottle of healing potion to heal her wounds.
However, the effect of the paralyzing drug had not yet worn off, so she couldn't move at all.
But it was precisely because of this bottle of healing potion that made her even more panicked.
Since the other party was even willing to use precious healing potions for her, that meant that what he was planning was definitely very big, so big that she simply could not accept such a result.
Chapter 280 Another Possibility (Part 2)
She spent a whole half day in panic and anxiety.
It wasn't until her stomach started to growl that Awu came back to her senses from her panic.
She is hungry.
But the three adventurers who kidnapped her had no intention of preparing any food for her.
"Is... is there anyone?!"
At this moment, she suddenly found that she could speak, so she made a hoarse sound.
However no one responded.
Awu shouted a few more times, but still no one answered.
She stopped shouting and closed her mouth to save energy.
Gradually, her upper body was able to move. Although her previously injured arm still felt a little painful, she could still move it with some effort.
So Awu started to move around in this cell.
She wanted to find an exit at first, but finally found that there was no exit except the sturdy iron door.
There was a ventilation window on the fine iron door, but it was only the size of a palm and was welded shut with iron bars, leaving only a few vents that were not much wider than a finger.
There was nothing in the cell except some hay where she had just been. The ground was all wet blue bricks, and so were the walls.
Awu tried knocking on the bricks and found that they were solid and there was no secret passage inside. Moreover, the bricks were very thick and could not be broken with her current strength.
In the end, Awu could only return to the hay, lie on it and try his best to conserve his strength and reduce consumption.
After an unknown amount of time, the torches stuck on the wall went out and the cell was filled with darkness.
Awu only felt that his mouth was dry, his stomach was in knots, and he was hungry and cold.
Just when she was feeling sleepy, footsteps were heard outside.
Awu’s eyes suddenly widened. She wanted to shout, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.
Who will come?
Is it the person who kidnapped her? Or another adventurer?
No matter who it is, anyone who can come here does not seem trustworthy.
But Awu finally opened his mouth and shouted.
"Help me!!"
Because if she continued to stay here, she would die.
This shout almost exhausted all her strength, and her subsequent shouts became smaller and smaller, until they were almost silent.
The footsteps paused for a moment, and then moved towards where Awu was.
Awu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard footsteps coming towards her.
No matter what, she should be able to leave here.
At worst, being killed is better than starving to death here.
As soon as her mind relaxed, the sleepiness she had felt before suddenly came back.
Awu's eyelids became heavier.
She held on with difficulty, and when she saw the iron door open and light shining in, her head tilted and she fell asleep.
When Awu woke up again, she found herself lying on an ordinary wooden bed.
She sat up and found that all her wounds had healed, but she was still very weak.
"Sir, did you save me?"
Awu looked at the man reading a book at the desk next to him and asked cautiously.
"Thank u..."
"Don't thank me, because you might want to kill me in a moment."
The man closed the book in his hand, and the look he gave Awu was very familiar to Awu. It was an expression she had often seen before - pity.
"what?"
Awu didn't understand why the other party said that.
"The three adventurers who captured you were hired by me."
With just one sentence, the man changed Awu's expression from gratitude to vigilance and hatred.
"you!"
"Shh!~Just listen to me."
The man pressed his palm down, signaling Awu not to speak for the time being.
"You must be confused, right? Why would I send someone to arrest you?"
"The answer is actually very simple, because you are the unlucky one who was implicated~"
The man patted the table with a grin.
"What do you mean?"
Awu didn't understand.
"Where should I begin?"
The man thought about it and decided to start from the beginning.
"Okay! Let's start from the beginning."
"Do you know which is the most powerful Chamber of Commerce on the Endrol Continent? Of course it's the Ruby Chamber of Commerce!"
"And in the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, there is a family that has long been a strong contender for the position of president. The family's surname is Roald, which means flowing gold."
"In the last generation's competition for the position of guild president, the then head of the Roald family was the most powerful candidate and a recognized good leader. But in the end, he lost to Bigrol, who was inferior to him in every way. Do you know why?"
"..."
Faced with the man's incomprehensible words, Awu remained silent.
"Because he's a good man."
“Hahahahahahaha!!!~~~”
"Isn't it ridiculous?"
"Because he was a good man, he died and the entire Roald family was destroyed."
The man laughed so hard that tears were about to flow down his face.
"He's actually a really nice guy with great talent. Under his leadership, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce might grow even stronger. But who made us all want to make money at that time? But as a businessman, there's nothing wrong with wanting to make money, don't you think?"
"But that guy actually thinks this is wrong and actually wants us to give up part of our wealth! Are you kidding me?! We worked so hard to earn that! Why should we give it up?!"
The man's expression became ferocious and vicious as he kept talking.
"Isn't it just some tricks? Is it necessary to scold so harshly?! It's just the death of a few lowly people. Why does he blame me?! ! I am a noble!!!"
"Do you think the people in the Chamber of Commerce can tolerate a guy like this who is blocking other people's money?"
"Of course not. That's why he ended up dying and his clan was wiped out."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Awu looked at the man coldly, his fists clenched, ready to attack at any time.
Although she is weak now, she still has the strength to strike back.
"Your adoptive father, I remember his name was Kate, right?"
The man stared at Awu with a smile.
"What did you do to him?"
