Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 522 - 360: Demon Ghosts and Gryphons

On the bumpy muddy road, Wang Zhifan and Gate rode side by side on horseback, leaving the dense trees on both sides behind them.

Wang Zhifan found that this Demon Hunter was quite the opposite of his appearance; he was actually very talkative. Once they got familiar with each other, he felt like someone you could talk to about anything, which was quite different from the virtual character in his impression, possibly because Gate was younger.

"Wang, what are your plans in Novi Town?"

At this moment, Gate, who was on the right side of the road, casually asked Wang Zhifan while eating a meat bun shared by Wang Zhifan from another world.

Along the way, he confirmed that this Wizard was quite easygoing, lacking the arrogance and aloofness commonly found in people of his kind, and he didn’t look down on him as a struggling Demon Hunter, even paying him a bit more attention.

"No specific plans, just going to wander around a bit."

Wang Zhifan, also munching on a meat bun on the left, quickly replied. His gaze was relaxed and calm, showing no signs of the usual fatigue of a traveler. However, if someone had observed his actions earlier, they would have noticed he glanced in the road’s direction to the right front.

"If you’re just going for leisure... I can recommend a place to you, guaranteed you’ll like it..."

Then, Gate, who looked quite handsome, even a little impressive, showed a slightly sleazy expression, with the amber vertical pupils flashing a meaning all men understand.

"What place?"

Seeing his expression, Wang Zhifan knew what he was going to say but chose to continue chatting.

"Spring’s Embrace! It’s the best inn in Novi Town! It offers all kinds of intimate services; whether tall women from the Northern Kingdom or petite women from the Southern countries, or even dark-skinned women from distant lands, you can find them all!"

When Gate talked about this topic, his tone slightly rose, indicating he had frequented that inn in the past, and he seemed a bit impatient.

"Heh, you dignified Demon Hunter, how come your recommended travel spots are always like this..."

Wang Zhifan found that his guess was entirely correct, and he was somewhat speechless, feeling that this guy on the right lived up to his expectations in terms of appearance, but had trouble maintaining his composure.

Bzz bzz bzz~

Suddenly, he heard a slight buzzing sound coming from Gate’s body, and Gate’s expression changed from somewhat sleazy to very serious in an instant, indicating something had happened.

"Wang! My badge is vibrating! There are female... monsters nearby! At least three of them!"

On the right side of the horse, Gate immediately grabbed the reins with one hand while stuffing the remaining meat bun into his mouth, jumping off the horse quickly.

"Aren’t they still far away? Why do you have to stop and look for trouble with them?"

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan was a bit puzzled. He had already sensed the presence of something evil nearby during his conversation with Gate, but he decided to ignore these slightly distant beings, not expecting Gate to stir up this trouble.

Upon hearing Wang Zhifan’s question, the Demon Hunter Gate, who had already dismounted, skillfully tied his old horse to the trees by the roadside while explaining:

"Wang, to be honest, I’m having some financial troubles lately, so I have to check out the monsters I encounter. Maybe I can collect some valuable parts and sell them to shops in the city. If you’re in a hurry, you can leave first; I can find you when we reach Novi Town."

Gate spoke while bending his body, drawing the Longsword from his back with ease, lightly stepping through several trees, heading into the dense forest on the right side of the road.

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan didn’t choose to leave first. Out of curiosity about Demon Hunters, he decided to follow, jumping off his horse, but not tying the Red Deer Horse to a tree, letting it rest nearby.

Thus began a period of stealthy time. Demon Hunter Gate led the way, wielding the Longsword with his body low, moving through the forest at a seemingly slow but actually fast pace. Although his frame was quite large, he had an agility and silence that reminded one of a cat.

Wang Zhifan followed about ten meters behind Gate. Although he wasn’t a Demon Hunter, his agility was unimaginably high for an ordinary person, so he easily stayed quiet without disturbing Gate ahead.

Before long, they approached a sparse area in the woods, where a faint mist rose in the air. If one had good enough eyesight, they could see almost transparent forms swimming slowly in the mist, undoubtedly some Spirit Body type monsters.

"Daywalking Demon Ghosts... Their cores can fetch a bit of money... I need to switch to a silver sword..."

Upon observing this, Demon Hunter Gate immediately crouched behind a large tree for cover, making subtle movements to sheath the Longsword in his hand, then slowly drew another slightly shorter Longsword from his back. With his other hand, he retrieved a small wooden bottle from an indeterminate pocket and deftly uncorked it, dripping the liquid onto the blade of the silver sword in his hand.

It was evident that he valued this presumably sword oil liquid, as he dripped only two drops onto the blade, quickly corked the bottle, and returned it to his pocket.

"A classic Demon Hunter move, oiling the weapon before battle, though it seems to lack the step of taking some potion."
