Chapter 128: Corpses are everywhere
The matter was initially negotiated, and Lin Qian sent Raymond to inform Madley of Crystal City of the specific situation, and explained to him some precautions, the most important thing is to keep it strictly confidential, after all, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better.
The dragon lord found a clean cave for Lin Qian, and the three of them lived here with a coffin.
In the territory of the dragon clan, there was no furniture, and the three of them cut some trees from the nearby mountains and forests, and barely made two beds, which was considered to have a place to sleep at night.
"Brother Lin, Dragon Valley is so boring, there are bare mountains all around, and there is nothing. Elena grumbled as she rested on the bed.
"Yes, why don't we climb over this mountain tomorrow and go to the Endless Forest to play, doesn't it mean that there are fierce beasts in it? Lin Qian proposed.
"Well, great, it's been a long time since I've tried magic. Elena cheered.
Lin Qian slept in one bed, Elena and Sophia slept together, and the three of them didn't take off their clothes, so they fell asleep silently in the cave.
Early the next morning, Lin Qian said hello to the dragon lord, took the two girls out of the valley, found the right direction, and climbed all the way to the west.
The entire mountain range is indeed very high, and even a skilled mage cannot reach such a high position with the help of the Wind Resisting Technique unless with the help of a dragon. Because the farther you fly, the more unstable the air becomes, the stronger the wind becomes, and the more difficult it is for the mage to control the wind steadily. The three of them couldn't go directly, so they had to find a mountain road, using two legs to hurry along the way.
said that they were in a hurry, but in fact, the three of them knew magic, and it was very easy to walk, and when they encountered hurdles that they couldn't pass, they even cheated and used the wind control technique and flew over directly. In an hour's time, the three of them rushed dozens of miles of mountain roads, but there was still no shadow of the forest.
"Brother Lin, didn't the old man say that this mountain range is very long and narrow, why didn't he go out?" Although Elena was not tired, she walked for a long time, and she was a little impatient in her heart.
Lin Qian looked up at the "sun", and the direction was not wrong, so he replied: "For the dragon, it should be very narrow and long, but for us, I'm afraid it is not so easy to pass, otherwise that forest should have been discovered a long time ago." β
"And when are we going to get there?"
"Who knows? Anyway, there is still more than half a year before the beast goes berserk, and it doesn't matter if we delay a few more days in this group of mountains. β
"But after walking for a long time, there is not even a shadow of a beast, how can I eat for a while?" Sophia thought a lot.
Lin Qian also discovered the current situation, but there were no trees in this bare mountain territory, only wild grass, and no shadow of wild beasts.
Lin Qian looked at the ground under his feet, stepped on it a few times, and then remembered something, and used corrosion to erode it down, digging a pit more than one meter deep.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Elena was curious.
Lin Qian smiled: "I'm looking at how deep the soil is here. β
Digging to this extent, there are no rocks, it is said that this height is far from reaching the tree line, there should be naturally formed trees, at least shrubs should always have it, but there is only grass on this mountain, and some forests are incomprehensible.
"Lin, what's that?" Sophia pointed to the bottom of the pit.
Lin Qian followed Sophia's gaze, but a white bone was half exposed outside.
"It should be the carcass of a dead animal. Lin Qian saw that this bone was thick and short, not like a human bone.
"There's still one over there. Elena found a white bone on the other side.
Lin Qian's heart moved, and asked Elena to dig a big pit with earth-based magic, only to see that it was full of white bones, which was quite a mass grave. It seems that he may have eroded all the white bones underground with the corrosion technique just now, so he didn't see so many white bones. So it's all about animal carcasses?
"Brother Lin, how can there be so many corpses?" Elena was not afraid, but full of curiosity.
Sophia, as a light mage, instinctively wants to purify when she sees a corpse, and feels a little uncomfortable with these white bones.
Lin Qian thought for a moment and said: "This should be the corpses of those fierce beasts, after so many years of riots, there are always some fierce beasts that rushed here, and after being killed by the dragon clan, they will naturally be scattered all over the field." β
"These beasts are pitiful, too. Sophia was a little sad and mourned silently for these beasts.
Lin Qian saw her pious appearance, and remembered the first time he saw Sophia, who came like an angel of light, and wiped out all the skeleton army with a single moveβwaitβthe skeleton army?
Lin Qian's mind flashed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of pride: "I think their pity is far more than that, in order to stop the beasts from going berserk this time, I think I have to disturb their bones again." β
"Lin, what are you going to do......?
"Yes, we're going to train a group of summoning mages and send the bones of these animals to battle their former companions. β
Sophia was anxious when she heard this: "Lin, that is the most evil magic, how can we use it against the enemy?"
"Evil?" Lin Qian was a little amused, "There is nothing evil in magic, the means can be thousands, but as long as the purpose is good, it is not evil." The real evil is the one who uses this magic to do bad things, not the magic itself. β
"But......" Sophia had heard this from her grandfather, but it was still difficult to get her to accept it completely.
Lin Qian stepped forward and took her hand, and persuaded again: "We use this magic to save mankind in the end, and without the help of this magic, I'm afraid more people will die." Besides, these animals are all dead, and when they die, there is nothing left, and the white bones are just products that are difficult to decompose, and they can be regarded as treasures left to us. β
"Yes, Sister Sophia," Elena also came over to persuade her, "Brother Lin's approach is just to reduce our casualties, not to do anything bad. And these beasts always beat us up, which is their fault. β
Sophia looked at Lin Qian's clear gaze, and then nodded in agreement, it was really not easy for her, a member of the Bright Family, to accept the skeleton summoning technique.
Lin Qian looked around and proposed, "We need to hurry up and tell Madeli about this idea, and let him arrange it." Since this mountain is difficult to cross, and there is no food, it is better for us to go back for the time being. β
"Brother Lin, don't worry, it's easy for us to get here, just hold on for a while. "Elena has a rare opportunity to come out and play, so she naturally refuses to let go of this opportunity.
"Are you going hungry, then?"
"It's okay, anyway, I can't eat when I look at so many white bones. β
At noon, the three of them found an animal in the grass that looked like a deer but not a deer, a wolf but not a wolf, with two horns on its head, thick limbs, brownish-gray all over, and a half-length tail hanging down. The animal did not dodge when it saw the three men, but opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs.
"What kind of animal is this?" Lin Qian only knew a few creatures in this world, and everything he encountered was novel.
"This is a horned wolf, named because it has horns on its head, but its limbs are longer than other wolves, and it is fast, but its strength is not large, and ordinary fourth-level magicians can solve it alone. "Sophia lives in a magical family, and is naturally no stranger to creatures in the wild. She had long read a guide to beasts, which contained a lot of information about beasts for magicians to explore.
Elena volunteered to fight the enemy, she was so anxious these days that her hands were itching, and she happened to use this horned wolf to practice her hands.
The horned wolf was a little excited when he saw one of the most petite creatures of the three people on the other side, and kicked on his hind legs and pounced on Elena like an arrow from a string.
Elena was unhurried, infused her legs with the Wind Blast, and easily dodged the horned wolf's attack, and then before the opponent could adjust her direction, a fireball was sent out, hitting the horned wolf's buttocks, burning it and rolling on the ground.
However, the horned wolf rolled on the ground a few times, and did not actually suffer any actual damage, except that the hair on its tail was a little charred.
"Sure enough, a first-level fireball technique is of little use to it. Lin Qian and Sophia stood aside and watched the battle on this side, judging from time to time.
After this round, the horned wolf knew the strength of the other party, and no longer attacked easily, but slowly approached Elena, wanting to hit at the right distance.
Elena unleashed another rocket, which was easily dodged by the horned wolf. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the horned wolf immediately repeated his old trick and pounced on it again. Obviously, this time the flying pounce also couldn't hurt Elena, and after being dodged by her, the horned wolf became vigilant, rolled on the ground, and stood up to find that Elena had no intention of making a move just now.
The horned wolf couldn't figure out the other party's routine, but seeing that her magic power in the first two times was not very powerful, she had some confidence and began to attack again.
Elena had the heart to play with it, constantly using magic to dodge attacks, and making up for one or two low-level attack magic. Although the horned wolf dodged Elena's attacks in most cases, it was inevitably hit a few times, not to mention that his whole body was charred black, and one of his tails was already burned without hair.
Although the horned wolf was furious, and his eyes began to redden, no matter how he attacked, Elena was unscathed, and she was half dead from exhaustion.
"Alright, Elena, stop playing!" Lin Qian shouted from the side.
"Got it. β
Elena also had a good time, no longer holding her hand, first a third-level magic fire dragon wave chased the horned wolf, and then a fifth-level magic flame arrow gathered in the air, ready to attack at any time.
The horned wolf instinctively wanted to dodge the fire dragon wave, but it soon realized that the flame would turn around and attack it again, and for a moment it was burned squarely, and hurriedly rolled on the ground.
Elena saw the opportunity, and the flaming arrow burst through the air, hitting the horned wolf in the abdomen, killing the horned wolf and setting the entire wolf's body on fire.
"Don't burn it, this one still has to be used for food. Lin Qian hurriedly reminded.
When Elena heard this, another instantaneous fifth-level magic freezing aura extinguished the flames. She was so precise that she extinguished the fire without freezing it entirely.
It was just time for lunch, and the three of them found a place to dispose of the carcass of the horned wolf, and each of them began to roast and eat a wolf leg on the erected shelf. Although there are no seasonings or anything, after all, this is the first time the three of them have a wild barbecue, and the food is quite delicious. The rest of the corpse, Lin Qian thought about using magic to freeze it, and carried it on the road.
The mountain road was rugged, and sometimes it had to make big bends, so at night, the three of them finally did not go out of the mountain forest, lit a bonfire, ate the rest of the horned wolf, and began to chat.
"I met a lot of animals this afternoon. "Elena had a great time playing all the way, and even some herbivores didn't escape her magic.
"If you continue to kill like this, there will really be no animals in this mountain forest. Lin Qian said helplessly.
"But why didn't you meet in the morning?" Sophia still wondered.
"Maybe it's closer to the Dragon Valley, these animals feel the breath of the dragon and don't dare to approach it anymore. Lin Qian speculated.
"So the further you go, the more beasts you encounter?"
"Great!" said Elena excitedly, "it would be better to have a bunch of beasts, and I will kill them all with one spell." β
Lin Qian and Sophia shook their heads together and smiled bitterly.
