Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 157 The Missing Sweet Potato

Thankfully, after a long drive around and around the tangled bushes and thorns, Jimmy finally found the mountain path that had been simply groomed for the rite of passage, and the scattered rubble allowed the rain to accumulate and flow down from the top like a stream.

At this time, the rain was like weaving, the thunder rumbled, and the pouring rain not only did not converge, but also intensified, and out of the jungle, Roger's ears have been echoing a dull roar, which is the sound of the river originating in the Wolf's Tooth Mountains flooding the valley because of the sudden increase in precipitation.

Fortunately, walking on this mountain trail, Jimmy was finally able to discern the general direction and location of the cabin, so it was much safer to take Roger and his wife to avoid the dangerous river and tidal flat area.

Circling back to the northern foothills along the gentler area of the mountainside, the three of them, including Roger, breathed a sigh of relief, and they relaxed a lot with tired expressions.

After explaining to the other two, Roger lifted the effect of the scorching shield, and the raindrops gathered by the leaves and branches fell on the heads of several people again, and everyone's clothes that had been dry for a few points were suddenly wet again.

Every time like this, Roger lamented that his rank was too low, and he casually released a few low-level magic spells and calculated the mana consumption.

This task is solved, do you want to find a magic academy and rub their magic training room to advance?Roger muttered to himself as he put his wet clothes on top of his head.

Alas, I really miss the past, at least the training rooms dedicated to the advancement of low-level mages were all over the streets, which is like now, the key to the high-concentration magic environment, the 'magic penetration membrane' technology, is almost monopolized by a few old magic academies and the rest royal family.

The rain had been falling for a long time, and the water-holding capacity of the forest humus made the soil like a sponge full of water, leaving puddles of mud on it—Linda, dressed in a white nun's suit, was killed—but the three of them made it back to the cabin with great difficulty.

"Wait a minute, is there a guy standing there?"

The dense rain obscured part of his vision, and in the faint light of the sky, Jimmy seemed to see a figure standing against a tree in front of his house.

Jimmy was not mistaken, just when Jimmy was still discerning whether he was dazzled or not, the figure heard the sound and looked over, and also found the three people who were embarrassed in the rain, and under Jimmy's vigilant gaze, the figure limped over - it was Uncle Hammer.

"Jimmy, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Uncle Hammer looked a little tired, his hand was on Jimmy's shoulder, and he was simply draped in a rain gear that resembled a hat, which was covered with withered yellow leaves that had been knocked down by the rain, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Uncle Hammer's anxiety, Jimmy hurriedly asked, "Uncle Hammer, don't worry, speak slowly, what's going on?"

"Sweet potato is missing in the mountains! I have been looking for him for a long time without a trace, I just wanted to call you who are familiar with this place to help, but I shouted you outside the door for a long time and there was no response, so I wanted to enter your house to see if you were there, and I was caught in a trap and bitten by a beast, I can only wait for you here. ”

Listening to Uncle Hammer's intermittent words, Jimmy noticed his slightly arched left leg, his reaction should be very fast, only a part of the belly of the leg was clamped, but even then he was bitten off a piece of meat by the huge beast trap with a huge bite force, fortunately, Uncle Hammer tied his thigh in time, otherwise it is hard to say whether he could survive until Jimmy came back.

The disappearance of his own son made this middle-aged man confused, and the logic of his speech was messy, not to mention, just to say that Uncle Hammer was also a seasoned hunter, if he didn't care, how could he be so easily injured by those beasts.

"We also met Sweet Potato in the morning, and he was about to go up the mountain, and Uncle has confirmed that he is missing?"

"Today, Sweet Potato did promise the village chief to go up the mountain to inspect the route first, and it was very smooth, and the mountain road did not have the problem of collapsing rocks, so Sweet Potato He quickly turned around the mountain, and came back to the blacksmith shop at about noon. ”

But at noon he said that when he came down the mountain he found a doe that seemed to have just given birth, and then found its nest, and he had been anxious to report to the village chief about the mountain road, and in the afternoon he wanted to go and see it again, and maybe he could get some deer milk back, and I didn't care at that time—and then went up the mountain and there was no news of it since. ”

"Until it rained all of a sudden, and your aunt was worried, so she asked me to go up the hill and look, and I searched for some of the places he frequented, and found what he called a doe, but I found some kind of ....... there Some kind of scene where it is destroyed by a large mob. ”

"How could it be ......?"

Just as Jimmy's eyes widened in horror, the sky seemed to have been turned on by someone to turn on the light switch, and for a moment it was completely dark, and he was suddenly deprived of his vision, leaving only the continuous sound of rain and wheezing in his ears.

"It's so sudden that it's dark. ”

The illumination ball of light was born in Roger's palm, and the miracle caused by magic dispelled the darkness here, "Uncle 'Hammer'?

"You....... Could it be the outsider the village chief said?"

Receiving Roger's affirmative reply, Uncle Hammer was a little hesitant, until now, he still refuses to admit the existence of the evil dragon, but the sudden rain washed away all the traces, he actually wanted to ask Jimmy, who was familiar with the terrain, to help find the traces of sweet potatoes, and this outsider suddenly intervened to make him hesitate.

"Let's go, Uncle, why don't you go inside the cabin and take a rest?" Roger pointed to Uncle Hammer's slightly curled legs, "Tell us where that doe's nest is, and we might be able to find any clues." ”

Uncle Hammer gritted his teeth and said: "It's all some skin trauma, it's not in the way, I'll take you there, that location is a bit remote, I may not be able to find it again, I was too anxious at the time, I didn't think to make a mark." ”

"That's it, uncle, it's okay for you to drag it like this, don't you find a sweet potato and put you in, Linda?"

Roger called lightly and said with a sneer: "Why don't you help this uncle treat it?"

Linda nodded, she still knew the severity of the matter, in Uncle Hammer's puzzled gaze, she squatted down, the hem of the nun's dress was soaked in mud, the divine light flashed, Uncle Hammer's left leg and abdomen The original crescent-shaped wound on the left leg and leg squirmed rapidly, and gradually recovered as before.

"This ???"

Uncle Hammer moved his legs in disbelief, such a miraculous skill he had never heard of in so many years, normally such an injury would not have healed in a month or two, and if it weren't for the sake of finding his son, he wouldn't have persevered until such a time.

But now, Uncle Hammer was a little speechless as he rubbed his newly grown white skin, and the injury was cured in the blink of an eye, and he barely felt any discomfort except for a slight tiredness.

In the face of such Linda, Uncle Hammer showed a somewhat fearful and cowardly expression, and he didn't dare to raise his head and thanked: "Thank you...... Thank you, little girl. ”

Adjust her own holy light fluctuations, Linda waved her hand indifferently, helping others is the proper meaning of the holy light, as for people's eyes like this, she has seen a lot, but now it is .......

Picking up the skirt that was still dripping with muddy water, Linda became worried, thought for a moment, and like a god confessed, she simply tore off the entire hem.

While Linda was busy with work, Roger leaned over to Uncle Hammer with a smile: "How about it, my sister's 'unique job' is good, I said that ours is professional." ”

When Uncle Hammer nodded like garlic, Roger secretly added in his heart, "As long as you don't care about the loss of vitality caused by the quick reply." ”

To put it bluntly, the healing effect of the Holy Light is done by overdrawing the body's limited life energy, and if you don't care about the loss of life or even life span with each treatment, this is almost equivalent to a perfect treatment plan.

This kind of top secret naturally belongs to the Holy Light Church, and nuns like Linda don't know about it, even the Pan-continental Mage Federation that accidentally discovered this truth doesn't dare to make this kind of news public, so they can only put it on the shelf, otherwise the world may not be facing a simple matter as a holy war.......

In addition to the main peak of the Langya Mountain Range, there are many dangerous peaks and cliffs, and Uncle Hammer, who rested for a while, led the three of Roger to the bottom of one of the cliffs, Roger paid attention to the general direction, this is not far from the mountain road of the coming-of-age ceremony, and the sweet potatoes that go down the mountain may indeed be attracted by a doe to this vicinity.

"This is it. ”

Uncle Hammer stopped beside a tall bush, and after a moment he pulled the grass open, where the carcass of a young deer lay there, the fur full of grass stalks and fallen leaves had been cut open and the mouth had been white and shrunk, and there was a puddle of water under him—evidently dead for a long time.

"I found this fawn here before, it was lying here, some kind of creature tore a big hole in its back with its claws, it must have escaped here, there was blood all over the way, I followed the blood trail to find the doe's nest, but now that the blood is washed away in the rain, I don't want to determine the specific location, I try to ......"

"No, that's pretty much it. ”

Roger's expression was indifferent, and he stepped on the puddle under the young deer, and his already soaked leather boots were soaked in the water, and the cowhide was as smooth as rotten meat.

"Eagle Eye!"
