Chapter 49: The Hunt of the Wolves

In the early morning, a burst of bird song came into Zero's ears, and he opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, looked at the blue magpie standing on the edge of the window and cried, and then stretched out for a long time. The palm-sized magpie flapped its wings and flew away, Zero rubbed his eyes, and turned his head to look at José Moon's bed next to him.

There was nothing on the bed, the wooden slats were placed on the bed frame, and the floor under the bed could be seen through the gap between the slats.

Zero got up in some surprise and glanced at the room where there was suddenly a lot of things missing. The books on the shelves were all gone, and the long wooden table was filled with stacked books, scattered drawings, all kinds of magical instruments, bottles and jars, and all kinds of materials for magical experiments...... Now it was swept away, and only a small magic lamp remained on the table.

Zero got up and approached the closet, and when he opened it, he saw that there were only a few of his own clothes, and all the dresses that filled Josevi's closet had disappeared, and he had helped Josevi wash and dry the clothes and fold them into the house. He closed the closet and looked at the shoe rack by the door, where Josevi's shoes were gone, and he remembered that José would fiddle with her white feet every morning after washing and changing shoes, asking which shoes looked good in Zero...... A lot of the trivial things in life began to come to Zero's mind, and those things that Zero thought he couldn't remember.

When I woke up, I suddenly found that everything about Josevi in this room was gone, as if no one had ever lived in this house except Zero, and the simple furnishings in the house were as if Zero had lived alone in this wooden house for five years.

"It's really fast......" Zero let out a long sigh, feeling empty in his heart.

It was already dark outside the window, and Zero had never gotten up so late. I just remember that I was very tired last night, maybe it was a day of running, maybe it was fighting with Josevi, maybe I talked to her a lot because I was reluctant to her, maybe it was because I played the guitar for a long time...... He was drowsy as soon as he got into bed, and when he woke up, he was the only one left in the room.

"I'll go too. Zero said in his heart.

Now that Josevi is gone, there's no point in staying here alone. He had studied magic with José for five years, and he hadn't set foot in the forest for five years, and he couldn't stay in the forest for the rest of his life. He originally had the intention of traveling around the mainland, but now that Josevi is gone, he has nothing to worry about here, and it is good to leave here.

Zero turned around and tried to put the clothes in the closet into the storage ring, but suddenly found that the storage ring that was originally worn on the middle finger of his left hand was missing. Zero frowned, the ring was given to him by Josevi, he always wore it on his middle finger and didn't take it off often.

Zero walked quickly to the side of the bed and looked through the sheets, then lay on the ground and checked the ground under the bed, and after a careful search, he didn't find the ring, and Zero got up and scratched his head impatiently.

He looked around the room, and suddenly noticed that there was a piece of paper on the long table in addition to a magic lamp, and it was his storage ring that was pressed against it.

Zero walked to the long table, picked up the ring and opened the storage space, and checked it, and found that there was a large bag of gold coins inside, and Zero knew that it must have been left to him by Josevi when he left, so that he could live and spend money after leaving the forest. Zero smiled softly, and expressed his gratitude to Josevi in his heart, in fact, Josevi didn't have to worry about him having no money to spend, during the time he lived in the Saling Jungle, there were countless demonic beasts hunted by the Tila family, and most of the magic cores were taken into his pocket, and he walked out of the forest, and he could exchange some magic cores for coins by selling them.

Zero slipped the storage ring back on his middle finger, then looked down at the piece of paper lying flat on the table. There was a complex pattern drawn on the piece of paper, and at first glance it was a mysterious magic array, on which all kinds of complicated inscriptions and spells were printed, and in the center of the eight-pointed star magic array, there were two crossed swords. Zero is a little unbelievable, the people of the Lemotania continent have a clear distinction between the fighting spirit and the magic area, under normal circumstances, they will never mix the sword with the magic array, but the pattern of this combination of sword and magic array is designed so meticulously and neatly, this may be the symbol pattern of a region or force, but will there be a force in the Lemotania continent that is so publicized that it combines sword and magic to make an emblem?

Zero touched his chin and thought about it for a long time but didn't come up with a reason, so he simply put the piece of paper into the storage ring, ignored it, turned around and began to pack his luggage.

Tila lay on the ground and was touched by Zero with a mane under her neck, and the three wolf cubs surrounded Zero.

"I'm leaving, take care of your family, I'll come back to see you when I have the chance. Zero smiled at Tira.

Tira lowered her huge head and rubbed it in front of Zero, let out a low "whin" in her throat, Zero smiled and hugged her head, and then he stretched out his hand and touched the other three wolf cubs, and said to them: "After I leave, you must listen to your mother, don't be naughty, grow up quickly, and in the future, you will become a hegemon in the Saling jungle like your mother." ”

The three little wolves raised their heads around Zero, and Zero said goodbye to them with a smile, but they were very reluctant in their hearts. These three little wolves were raised by him himself, and during the five years he spent in the Saling Jungle, in addition to learning magic, he followed the Tila family in the forest. It had been a time of freedom and joy, and now he was going to say goodbye to them.

As Zero trotted forward in the forest, the sun shining through the trees, he stopped and looked back at the three wolf cubs standing behind him looking at him looking up at him, waving at them.

"I'm gone! don't forget me!" Zero shouted at them, then turned and continued to run out of the forest, his figure fading into the lush woods.

Above the forest, under the cloudless sunshine, the goshawk has been flapping its wings from the top of the cascading forest, flying to the top of the peaks and mountains, and the eagle chirps to suppress the clouds and spread to the vast sky.

A figure rushed through the forest, startling a wave of forest birds.

Zero panted and ran wildly through the tall and dense trees, he ran non-stop, not daring to stop at all, and from time to time in front of his palm, he urged a magic array from time to time, bringing all kinds of magic to throw behind him.

Several beast shadows leaped to dodge the various attack spells thrown by Zero, and bursts of roars came from the mouths of the beast shadows running wildly. The needle-mane wolves kept howling, and Zero could feel more and more needle-maned wolves approaching him, and these needle-maned wolves were calling out to their companions.

Running fast under Zero's feet, he began to regulate his breathing and concentrate, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the invisible telekinesis spread out around him.

Mental field - the mental force field formed by maximizing the expansion of the mental power in the sea of thoughts with self-centeredness and detecting the surrounding environment. This is a difficult telekinesis to use, and when the telekinesis is cast, the surrounding environment is unobscured in the caster's mind. Because of the strength of mental cultivation, there will be a difference between the size of the detection distance and the level of detail of environmental detection. At the end of the meditation practice, even if you are blind, you can still "see" the things around you through mental perception, because mental power will reflect the surrounding scenes in your mind instead of your eyes, but it is not as colorful as what you see with your own eyes.

Ordinary magicians can't use telekinesis to lay down the telekinesis, because the requirements for telekinesis strength are too high, and the mental strength of ordinary magicians is not enough to cast the telekinesis, but this is a skill that must be mastered for telekinesis magicians. The Nian Field, which can detect the enemy's location and potential danger in advance in battle, is an efficient means of exploration that can determine the outcome of the battle, so in military preparations, enchantments or telekinesis interference devices are usually laid around the camp to prevent the enemy Nian Magician from probing the strategic deployment of our army.

Zero's mind field has a wide range, and he can easily detect the environment within 500 meters around him, down to every grass and tree. This is a skill that he has not been taught since he was very young, and I remember that the first time this feeling of omniscience and omnipotence appeared was in the Bright Church's Bosch Library, when his mind was out of control, and for a moment, he clearly perceived all kinds of things in his surroundings from top to bottom, and in the five years he studied with Josevi, he mastered this skill.

When the mind field is opened, everything in the surrounding environment is presented in Zero's mind without missing anything. He determined the number of needle-maned wolves that were chasing him, 26 of them, a pack of small wolves, which were almost forming an encirclement as they ran, and would soon encircle the prey of Zero. The point is that this is not the worst, the worst thing is that there is a cliff ahead, and he has no way to escape.

"Woo-" The needle-maned wolves let out a high-pitched howl behind Zero, as if to celebrate the capture of their prey.

There was a bright light in front of him, and Zero ran out of the lush forest and stepped on the cliff in front of him. He slammed his feet, formed a handprint in front of his hands, and said something in his mouth.

"Ming Yu!" Zero shouted, bent down suddenly, let go of his hands, and pressed his fingers down on the ground.

Less than 5 meters in front of him, several needle-maned wolves were already pounced on him with their teeth and claws.

"Boom!" a few pin-maned wolves slammed into an invisible wall, falling to the ground and wailing in pain.

The level 13 spatial defense magic "Ming Yu" can create an invisible defensive barrier out of thin air in front of the caster, and the strength of the barrier is enough to block magic attacks below level 10 and physical attacks at the level of air fighters.

"Huhuhu......" Zero gasped heavily, watching more and more needle-maned wolves gather towards the edge of the cliff, he didn't dare to stop in his hands, he spread his arms, and a fiery red circle-shaped circle lit up in front of the enchantment, and the flames up to three meters high burned in front of the enchantment, blocking the footsteps of the needle-maned wolves from coming forward.

Zero One sat on the floor, gasping for breath as he pulled out a kettle from the storage ring and took a few large sips of water.

"Huhu...... Is it fun to chase me?huh?" asked Zero as he looked at the needle-maned wolves through the flames burning in front of him.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a needle-maned wolf stepped forward and opened its mouth to spit out a thunderball through the flames and hit the barrier.

"Not good!" Zero's heart sank, and he quickly got up and set up another defensive barrier, and the needle-maned wolves opened their mouths and spit out thunderballs to attack the barrier. The thunderball spit out by the needle-maned wolf is only the strength of level 4 magic, but the duration of the "Mingyu" enchantment is not long, and the strength of the enchantment will automatically decay after a while, coupled with this stormy thunderball attack, the enchantment will soon be damaged.

As soon as a new barrier was set, the previous barrier was broken, and the needle-maned wolf spit out thunderballs and smashed them on the barrier one after another, and Zero was sweating profusely.

"Do I have a grudge against you? Or have you never eaten anyone? Can you chase other critters?" Zero struggled to prop up the barrier that was constantly being attacked in front of him, and shouted loudly.

He expanded his mind, trying to find another way out of this cliff, even though he knew that the chances were slim, but he didn't want to die here before he even stepped out of the forest, it would be too embarrassing.

"Huh?!" Suddenly, Zero sensed that his mental field was hindered as it expanded towards the cliff beneath his feet, and when Zero concentrated his scattered mental power to that point, his mental power was strongly disturbed.

There's an enchantment on the cliff beneath your feet!

If there is an enchantment, it means that there is a way to go, and Zero was overjoyed, turned around and ran towards the edge of the cliff. His mind sensed that there were wild vines on the edge of the cliff that people could climb, and that the many raised rocks on the edge of the cliff were definitely not cliffs.

As soon as he ran to the edge of the cliff, the barrier behind him was destroyed by the thunderball combo of the needle-maned wolves, and the long-awaited needle-maned wolves rushed towards Zero. Zero glanced at the misty cliff under his feet, and then looked back at the needle-maned wolf who was about to pounce on him, gritted his teeth, and immediately leaned over and grabbed a vine and jumped off the cliff.
