Chapter 66: To Serve the Purpose
"Use as much magic as possible with the lowest standard of magic. Eddie admonished;
"Then, use the Wind Blade;" Nightstar raised his right hand, and a turquoise magic circle unfolded;
Several pale green crescent-shaped wind blades quickly condensed and formed, and then shot towards the wild boar!
The wild boar was less than eight meters away from this side, how could the seven or eight wind blades of the Night Star hit one or two, right?
Bang bang!
The blades either flew into the bushes, severed some of the branches, and dissipated, or slashed directly at the trunks of trees not far away, leaving a few rather deep scars;
...... Forget it, it's in plan.
Nightstar smiled wryly at Add, the boar was unscathed, but it was scared away.
"It's like this. Add waved his hand, "Go ahead......"
In the absence of magical beasts, the scene here is completely refreshing;
The clean and fresh air carried the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and the chirping of birds was crisp and graceful, and the gray wrist opened the way with iron swords in hand, and the three of them followed closely in the direction of the red crown mountain southeast of the town;
There is also a reason why Eddie is so confident, according to the information compiled from listening to the story last night, the powerful demonic beasts are generally located inside the Red Crown Mountain, and a bronze rank outside the mountain is enough to dominate.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the foot of the mountain is safe, but Add feels that even if the four of them keep walking that way until it gets dark, they won't be able to get there.
Wait until noon to turn back, and you can see the sky through the gaps between the branches and leaves, so it's the best way to judge the time.
The four of them advanced more than a mile - along the way, although they had encountered more than one demonic beast and beast, but there was no battle;
On the one hand, they felt that the four of them were not easy to mess with, and on the other hand, Eddie did not want to fight at this time.
The only melee force that can be used is the Gray Wrist, who is responsible for clearing the way, and in case of a fight, it is not a good situation for him to expend his stamina even if he is not injured.
Add asked the three of them to observe the situation in the nearby forest, and if they found a more powerful magical beast, they avoided the battle as much as possible, and if they couldn't avoid it, they asked Orange Wind to strengthen the night star, and then solved it with a magic blow.
Nightstar's magic hit rate is really worrying - when he first entered the forest, Eddie asked the two of them to do a test: if Nightstar's magic could hit without Orange Wind using magic;
As a result, the ice needle was crooked twice out of ten, and of course, the two times were farther.
Will there be a situation of missing after being strengthened with magic power? Eddie felt a little uncertain in his heart. In order to avoid this, it is estimated that the only way to do this is to get as close as possible before firing the magic.
Add moved forward as he could plan as much as he could;
He followed behind Grey Wrist, who took a few steps and suddenly stopped, interrupting his train of thought.
"Young master, there seems to be a magical beast ahead. Graywrist lowered his voice, "It seems to be the Dark Cloud Pony I've seen before." ”
Darkcloud Pony Addy is in the mood - it's the main object of observation on this expedition.
Greywrist ducked slightly to the side, then pointed in the direction where the monster had been found;
Add saw a handful of blue-purple things looming between the branches of trees and the shrubs and grasses in the gaps;
If you roughly estimate the distance, it must be at least two hundred meters, and you can see the clues from such a distance, and the hue of this dark cloud horse is really vivid enough in the forest.
But even then, Add could only see what appeared to be a small part of the ponytail;
"If you rush forward, you may alarm it...... Master, are you going to take a detour, or are you trying to get closer?"
Add waved his hand to signal him to be calm, then called out to Heathim to open the optical analysis module.
After repeated use, Eddie was already handy, and it didn't take much effort to lock on to the target;
After zooming in slightly, you can see that the creature is eating with its head down, and Add continues to zoom in to see what kind of delicious food it is eating-
It's dirt.
Add didn't want to believe what he saw, but the beast was rubbing his fangs against the ground;
It had dug a pit the size of a basin in the ground, and there was a small pile of excavated dirt next to it......
Wait, since it has dug out the soil, it means that what it eats is not actually soil—Eddie thought so, and further magnified the scene presented by the optical analysis module;
Could it be that it's digging up grass roots and eating it? Has this guy evolved to be so smart?
Apparently not—Add quickly noticed that there was something in the dirt.
The Dark Cloud pony dug fruit out of the soil, and each one it gouged out, it took the soil with it and stuffed it into its mouth, chewing more than a normal person would eat bubble gum - Eddie suspected it was savoring;
As for the fruit, it is obviously the "hard shell fruit" mentioned earlier!
...... According to the shopkeeper, the fruit grew on a tree, and Eddie didn't see a potato-like rhizome near the fruit at this time, which is strange, could it be that there was a shell tree nearby, and then the fruit fell to the ground when it landed?
That's unlikely...... Add's brow furrowed.
In this way, after shaving in place for a while, it moved its nose to make sure that there was no fruit left, and then turned away;
Add could see a bit of gloom in its slender horse's face.
Tsk, anyway, they all use the optical analysis module, so let's take a look at the situation nearby. With this in mind, Add gradually retracted his vision, trying to see if there was a hidden monster in front of him;
The monster didn't see it, but saw a person not far ahead—the guy was dressed as a hunter, but he was carrying a backpack that was a little exaggerated...... Eddie looked at the man and frowned, a little suspicious: what is he doing behind such a big guy who is in the way?
"Young Master...... Do you see anything?" Graywrist waited for a few moments, and only dared to ask when Eddie's gaze finally moved back to his side;
"I can't see it clearly, but it's okay to make some guesses. It was clear to Eddie that it was time for serious nonsense again:
"The blue-purple part we see through the gap is evidently the tail of the Darkcloud, which has just left our sight, and from this it can be inferred that it has been in place for a long time;
In the case of a monster, stopping usually means resting or eating, and it can be inferred that it is the latter from the fact that its tail is always active. ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then nodded again and again - the young master is really smart!
"Well, then, let's head over there. Add gestured in the direction of the Pony eating, "Perhaps, we can find some clues from where the Pony is eating—"
Clues? How could there be other clues? Eddie sighed helplessly inwardly,
You can't just say that there's a suspicious person in the forest ahead, right?
