Chapter 197: The Blue Bear and the Hunter

Morin was full of absurdity, tied to his body by this stupid bear that came out of nowhere, and even in his most bizarre and weird dreams that made him wonder what he could not understand after waking up, Morin never thought that he would one day be kidnapped by a blue-skinned bear in the famous Iluvita School of Magic.

Like a prey tied to a horse by hunters, he lay on the back of a bear, unable to move his hands and feet bound by invisible ropes.

looks like a bear slaughtering.

And this stupid bear ran very unsteadily, but he seemed to be glued to the blue fur, and he couldn't slide down, and he was half dead by the thick shoulder blades of the stupid bear.

Maureen struggled to twist his neckβ€”the only part of him that could still move.

He found that the surrounding forests and snow had been left behind, the ground had steeply sloped, the towering ridges of the mountains had cut irregular corners of the night sky in the bright moonlight, and the unfamiliar silhouettes of the mountains made him realize that he had been taken away from the areas where the students frequented, and also away from the towers and halls of the snowy peaks.

Perhaps soon it will be necessary to cross the boundaries of the academy and leave the confines of Iluvita.

Bears can run as fast as Morin knew when he was running for his life in the mountains, not to mention the obviously abnormal blue-skinned monster bear, which had just run up the ridge from the lake in a few moments.

Won't he be gone in a moment? He hasn't even shouted his last words a few times!

I was kidnapped by a bear!

After wailing all the way to no rescue, the boy finally reluctantly turned his attention to the bear.

But I didn't want to look at it, but my face became more and more weird.

What had just happened on the shore of the lake was so impactful that he didn't look closely at the stupid bear in shock, but now that he was being saddled on the bear's back, he could clearly see a small outward-turned tip on its round ear, and two thin lines of white fur, extending and converging from the tips of the two pinna to the neck, forming a fairly regular semicircle on the blue neck.

- Maureen recognized this trait.

……

As the coldest plateau of Todder, the Cangzhi Snow Field is like a flat staircase raised on the continent, with towering mountains stretching from the edge of the staircase to the surroundings, sinking south into the vast belly of the Gessok Empire, northward through the eternal winter ice field to the far north beyond the firelight of order, undulating westward until it submerges into the endless sea of hot sand, and eastward until the rough waves of the North Sea cliffs, under which many huge icebergs crash into the dust.

The widest gaps in the mountains form the fertile Sawa Plain, on which the Divine Kings of the thousand-year-old city stand, and the narrower gaps form countless steep and gentle valleys, and Iluvita sits in a valley close to the snow.

Due to its remote location, there are no other villages and towns in the vicinity of the college except for the small town of Bellamy. Despite its vast area, the stretch of the border is mostly desolate and uninhabited, especially on winter nights, when the cold mountain winds howl over the rift valleys and corner cliffs, piling shallow snow under the windward slopes, exposing large expanses of hard rock, dull and lifeless.

But two cloaked figures were coming out of the thick night.

It's two adventurers.

They were both tall, but judging by the silhouette of their cloaks, one of them was strong and the other was thin, and the stout figure was almost twice as wide, and it looked very discordant when they walked together.

The strong man carried a huge hammer behind his back, and the cuffs that were blown up by the wind exposed the knotted muscles on his forearms, which was quite a bit of a Kadir Ice Warrior. Their faces could still be faintly discerned in the clear moonlight - it must have been the adventurer who had appeared in Bellamy Town during this time - the strong man seemed to have fought for a place with Brand at Old Pat's tavern, and was persuaded to retire by Professor Bloodeye with a standing gold coin.

The strong man's voice was very loud, and his voice spread far away through the mountain wind:

"It's good we didn't listen to them. If only they hadn't been able to catch this big guy in their lives. ”

The tall and thin man suppressed his voice and said disdainfully: "I said that the tracking hunters of those adventure groups are all three-legged cats, and everyone worked together to get a heavy snowfall, and those three-legged cats couldn't find any trace of the giant beast, and finally said that the giant beast had left, hmph, I don't want to think about it, can such a big giant bear still fly out of thin air?"

A big man's voice sounded from the side:

"It's also our luck, except for the time when we went to Bellamy Town and roared a few times, the activity area of the giant beast should have been in this mountainous area, if it hadn't been for the fact that it walked to the town again ten days ago and was found by us by chance, we really wouldn't be able to find here, who knows what this guy has been doing in this kind of place where birds don't for more than a month. ”

The hunter snorted at the big man's attribution of this success, but did not object.

"Luck is also part of strength, and those three-legged cats don't have this strength. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a closer look at the ground.

By the bright moonlight, he quickly walked over to a small patch of snow that had been blown hard and pointed:

"Look here, if you hadn't been stepped on by that big guy, how could it be so strong like a mirror?"

He pulled out a dark yellow magic card and cast some kind of magic on the snow stain, and a moment later, the snow stain turned a bright green, and the surrounding dark rocky ground lit up with a row of bright green marks - a row of large, glowing footprints, each the size of a small round table.

"What a big guy!" A big man exclaimed next to him: "Every time I look at it, I feel excited!"

"That's the right direction. The tall and lanky man snorted:

"Don't be too happy, it's said that this guy's strength is close to the line of the world, and we may not be able to deal with it. ”

"Don't worry, no matter how strong you are, it's just a demonic beast," the big man said with a smile: "I have hunted a bigger snow monster in the Eternal Winter Ice Field, and I can't treat it well! As long as I find the trace of this big guy, I will kill it alone!"

He patted a lock net hanging from his waist: "As long as the magic power is exhausted, can it break free from this thousand lock net......s with its physical strength alone?"

The two of them said as they followed the footprints.

Although there were few lighted footprints and quickly faded away, the lanky stalker always spotted the beast's passing in inconspicuous places, and used precision to mark its direction by lighting a batch of footprints.

Apparently he is a rather seasoned stalking hunter.

Following a line of footsteps that were lit up from time to time, the two men passed through a small pile of rubble, and soon came to a ridge, and the cold wind blew their cloaks whirring, but it could not blow away the heat in their eyes.

The stalker crouched down again.

He took out a few pieces of gravel from the gap between the two large rocks, and quickly put them together in his hands: "The fragments of the steel rock, judging from the gap, have just crumbled, and the rock powder from the crack has not been blown clean, I guess the big guy kicked this rock when he walked, and kicked it like this." ”

"So the footprints should be in the ......"

He walked to the rocky ground a few steps away to himself, and cast another spell on a blank masking ground, and sure enough, a line of fluorescent flickering footprints was lit up, extending a distance of dozens of meters to the other side of the ridge.

But the tracking hunter frowned: "Something is wrong!"

"What?!" the strong man was stunned.

"Why are the footprints here a little smaller......" The hunter glanced back a few times, as if to make sure that the route they were tracking was correct: "According to the previous footprints, it is indeed coming this way, and the stride size of this distance has become larger, the guy has increased his speed as if he is running, is there something attracting it here......"

"Could it be that guy can already change his body shape?!" The Ice Warrior was stunned for a moment, but he was a little more excited, and his eyes burst out with a flame-like red light: "It means that that guy has really crossed the line of the world!

But the stalking hunter is not as optimistic as he is:

"No wonder it hides its tracks so well, it makes sense...... But in this case, we don't think we can deal with that guy alone, so it's better to go back to Bellamy Town to call someone first, there should still be a few hunters with good strength who haven't left. ”

"Of course, we will catch up with the big guy first! After so many days, we finally caught up with its activity area, and you said that it was running, and when someone called it to come again, the guy didn't know where to run? Can you still catch it?!" The Ice Warrior said in a rough voice, "Even if we really can't take that guy, at least we can make some big noise, and if it doesn't work, use the firing technique, and the people in the town should be able to see it." ”

"Even if we can't catch that guy, we will definitely be able to drag it, isn't it just that we have just crossed the line of the world, what can I do if I count him as a tenth-order demonic beast, he is not just a demonic beast, and Lao Tzu has not hunted when he was in the group. ”

"Besides, we're not far from Bellamy, so we might be able to get to the vicinity of the town. ”

Feeling that the warrior had some point, the hunter thought for a moment and then continued to move forward, following the glowing footprints over the ridge, but as soon as he had not gone far, he stopped again, sweat oozed from his forehead in the cold wind, and his face became much more solemn:

"Obstacle!

Seeing this, the Ice Warrior hurriedly took off his hammer and strode to follow.

But again, he didn't take a few steps before he walked as slowly as if he were carrying a thousand pounds of weight, and when he overtook the hunter's position, his muscles tightened, and the outline of his cloak was stretched wider, but he still walked more and more slowly. After taking a few more steps, the whole person trembled, and finally fell to one knee and was pushed back by an invisible force.

He let out an unwilling roar:

"Who's secretly attacking?! Get out of here!"

"Don't you talk about the rules of Warcraft hunters?!"

The roar of the Ice Warriors echoed from the cliffs in the distance, but there was no response other than the sound of the wind.

The mountain was cold and the moon was white, and there was silence, and the tall and thin tracking hunter looked around, then stared at the silhouette of the mountain in front of him, and muttered: "It's not someone secretly attacking, it's the magic enchantment." ”

"Front...... It's supposed to be Iluvita Academy......"

……

Mike Caviezer felt like he was going crazy.

He was running wildly along the mountain road with Aeno on his way to Anna Gou's magic tower.

In order to be faster, he even reluctantly used a third-order wind gallop that he had not yet mastered, and felt that the pale yellow card in his hand had begun to have a slight crack, and Mike was distressed but still desperately urging the magic.

Merlin was actually kidnapped by a strange beast?!

If it weren't for the fact that Aeno wouldn't make such a joke, he would definitely have thought it was Merlin's prank, and it was a rather unprofessional and very lame prank!

At that time, he was cleaning the room in the hall of ruins with a few other senior classmates, thinking about whether the house elves could fix the hole in time and whether Brand would be tricked when he returned, but he didn't want Emneor to rush in anxiously to ask them for help.

However, at first, they didn't believe it, especially a few other classmates who were not familiar with Eminor, and they laughed out loud on the spot, although it was quite reliable to throw a stink bomb and be blocked by Fox's nosy guys, but what does it mean to be kidnapped by a blue-skinned monster bear in the later development?

Or is it that Morin the Sleeper is indeed very curious in his thinking, no wonder he is so courageous, it turns out that he is talented.

But after a weeping Aeno repeated it to him twice, and showed him the marks on his arm that had been bound by Fawkes's magic, Mike finally had to believe it.

Merlin was indeed kidnapped by a blue-skinned monster bear!

On the spot, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and hurriedly asked a few classmates to help Marcus rescue the four people who were photographed in the lake, and he hurriedly came to Professor Anna with Aeno himself.

The little vampire is not a member of the League of Tricksters, and it is unclear what the rationale behind Maureen's prank is, but Mike knows it. He knew that at midnight, most of the Academy's magic enchantments had temporarily failed due to the activation of a loophole, and it was not impossible for some powerful magical beast to run in.

It must have crossed the boundaries of the academy at that moment.

Mike had a bitter look on his face, and he didn't even notice that his fiery red hair was blown messy.

In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, they also specially compressed the activation time of the vulnerability to two seconds, if it is shorter, I am afraid that it will not be able to attract the attention of the elves and the effort will be in vain. didn't expect that these two short Sails could cause such serious consequences.

Moreover, the borders of Iluvita have always been restricted in and out, and powerful beasts or adventurers without identity rings who want to cross the border will be blocked, but there will be no restrictions on leaving.

In other words, Merlin had probably been taken out of the academy and disappeared into the wilderness of the mountains by now.

With every second of delay, the clues he left behind dimmed.

With an abrupt stop, Mike and the almost breathless Aeno stopped in front of the tower on the snowy peak.

Anna Gu's magic tower is surrounded by the emblem of a silver tree, and its towering top is topped by four spires that stand in all directions, with a slowly rotating swirl of magic in the center, reflecting the white corolla that slowly rises from the sky.

But neither of them was in the mood to stop and admire at this time.

Mike walked briskly past a row of majestic stone sculptures to the entrance arch, and Eminor hurried behind.

And immediately their hearts sank.

Because there was a sentence on the door of the magic door:

Professor Anna Koo, who went out to attend a conference, has not returned for the time being.
