157. The man who chases the wind
The merchant begged Viru to leave the orc guards alone and help him rescue the thunder rhinos and hundreds of demon antelope skins from the wolves, but Viru ignored them and rescued the orc hunters who were trapped in the wolves, but the angry wolves bit the merchant to death and tore all the leather to shreds before he protested and left, the three mutant wind wolves were bigger than the one-horned bison, such beasts are rare in the depths of the wasteland, only once, the merchant was really unlucky。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Afterwards, the merchant was reluctant, but he behaved very generously, and comforted the orc guide and the wounded orc hunters, telling them not to worry, and that the salary would be paid when they returned to Gurudin. In the end, in order to repay Viru, the merchant offered a very considerable price and asked the Storm Chasers to protect him to return to the town of Gurudin, but was again rejected by Viru, at that time, the adventure group had just arrived in the depths of the wasteland, and had been chasing a herd of demon antelopes for more than half a month.
The two teams did not reach an agreement, so they quickly separated.
Not long after, the merchant caught up with him and told Viru a secret, which he said was a reward for Viru. That is, at the westernmost end of the wasteland, there is a place called Night Wolf Cliff by the local orcs, and on the high cliff there, there are also some harpies, these demonic beasts with the thin bloodline of the demon race, which are rare in the entire Roland Continent. The Grimm Empire's Mage's Guild offered a high bounty price for a sample of the Harpy. After saying the news, the merchant took the people away.
Actually, when the Storm Chaser Adventure Party began. I didn't pay much attention to the news at all, and I had been concentrating on hunting demon antelopes at that time. When they had immediately filled all the Guborai with large bundles of demon antelope skins, they decided to return to Gurudin. It is said that the puppet master of the Orianna Magic Shop offered a sky-high price to buy a complete Harpy and use it to make a high-level magic tool "Feather Demon Wings", if it can be successful, it will give humans the ability to fly.
Hearing this news, Guoguo was the least calm. She has been trying to scrape together money to buy her sister Sue a prosthetic leg from Oriana's Magic Shop, so that Sue can walk. But if it has something to do with the magic puppeteer in Oriana's shop. Maybe that prosthetic leg will be a little more unique, and it will be more acceptable to my sister Sue.
Later, everyone decided to try their luck at Night Wolf Cliff, and maybe they could meet the Harpy.
In fact, if it had been just a Harpy, perhaps the Windchasers would have returned to Gurudin, after successfully trapping a Harpy and passing through the back mountains of Nightwolf Cliff, the Windchasers encountered a scuffle between the wolves of Nightwolf Cliff and the Harpys. In fact, it was not a scuffle, at that time, the wolves had already occupied a great advantage, and successfully used their natural skill "Wind Blade" to kill a large number of ordinary harpies, and there were several wind wolves that climbed to the cliff. also successfully pounced a snow-white harpy from the sky. Beneath this harpy was a grey dwarf, and that grey dwarf was supposed to be heavy. The harpy could barely fly, and she was accidentally pounced on the ground by the wind wolf on the cliff.
These wind wolves were about to bite the snow-white harpy to death. It just so happened that the members of the Wind Chaser Adventure Group arrived, and this was also a battle between the sandpipes and the clam . The fisherman profited. Not only did Viru push back the wind wolves with arrows, but he also captured the queen of the harpy, and he also received a bequest from the gray dwarf, the strong and armored gray dwarf warrior was dead, he had a large hole in his chest, and his heart had been taken out and eaten by the harpy, but his heavy armor and money bag were still intact.
Just by looking at his clothes and strong muscles, you can know that this gray dwarf bandit used to be a very strong warrior, and he didn't know what kind of battle he had gone through to get small scars all over his body, and there was a lot of frostbite all over his body. Judging that before, this powerful gray dwarf bandit must have gone through a hard battle, and was frostbitten by a certain magician's ice magic, and then he was captured by the harpy, gouging out his heart and losing his life. This dwarf chain mail is also considered a high-end armor, and even in the Grimm Empire, the price is definitely not too low, so it is naturally in the pocket of the adventure group.
Just when Viru wanted to take away this snow-white harpy, the wolves of the Night Wolf Cliff appeared at one time, and this time the vicious wolves all over the mountains and fields slowly walked towards them with miserable green eyes, and the killing intent raging in the eyes of the golden-furred wind wolf made everyone feel cold, no one thought that under this night wolf cliff, there would be such a large group of wind wolves, and the most important thing is that the color of the wolf king's fur among them has become golden, which is clearly a mutated demonic beast, and the mutated demonic beast will generally increase its own strength, when hundreds of wind wolves surround the wind chaser adventure group, things began to deteriorate。
After the wolf pack's battle, the Wind Chaser team managed to break out of the wolf pack, but the price paid was a bit high, all the horse supplies were abandoned, and only six people were out of danger unharmed. That's what Viru thought about at the time, and took the team to a safe place and settled down. As a witcher, he wants to take Tia and the two of them to roam around the periphery of the wolves and eat away at the wind wolves little by little.
The plan went well, and in the course of a night, Viru hunted nearly a hundred Wind Wolves with his scorching bow of magical damage. Even the furious golden retriever wolf king had to retreat with the wolves and hide in the mountains of the Night Wolf Cliff.
At dawn, the harpy suddenly appeared in the sky, and their queen was a giant snow-white harpie, her wings spread out and three meters long, and a gorgeous crown with a ptarmigan feather stuck in it, and a golden feather on it. Constantly generating countless arcs of electricity, flying with the Harpy Leader. It spilled backwards over her head, slowly disappearing into thin air. Then. The Harpy Leader has not yet fused with the "Thunderbird Feather".
The Harpy Leader and Viru fought a battle at the foot of the Night Wolf Cliff, and Viru fought hard to defeat the Harpy Leader with the last three Wind Wolf Tooth Arrows, leaving the Harpy in the sky and escaping alone. The continuous hard fighting exhausted Viru's strength, and it was the golden retriever wolf king who fled into the mountains of the Night Wolf Cliff that appeared at this time and bit Viru with his fangs. At this point, Tia desperately fled back to the camp where the team was located with Viru, forcing the wolves back. It's entangled with the harpies in the sky.
These harpies are cunning by nature, and as they hovered in the air, all the little beasts in the wilderness disappeared and retreated.
So much so that throughout the entire escape, the members of the Wind Chaser Adventure Party had almost no supplies, and for four or five days in a row, this group of harpies kept attacking day and night, so that the adventure group did not dare to sleep all night until they met me and Kige. The entire team was already exhausted.
This time, the defeated Harpy Leader reappeared, and it was a pity that he didn't know how to absorb the full energy of the 'Thunderbird Feather'. Although it has powerful mana in its own right, it has not yet learned how to use it in battle, and we have been provoked by us. In the end, the decision to burn the jade was made.
I don't think if it weren't for the existence of a water system auxiliary magician like Sister Guoguo at that time, this team would never have survived until they met us. If it weren't for Sister Guoguo, I would never have fought to help them. Hurt so badly.
Sister Guoguo finished telling this matter as it was, her face was still a little sickly pale, she still hadn't recovered from the magic backlash, it seemed that the magic pool in Sister Guoguo's body was far more damaged than she imagined, I hope this rainy day will give her some help. She stopped my shoulder, looked at the misty drizzle outside, and said, "It's a pity that those demon antelope skins were all lost in the back mountain of the Night Wolf Cliff, and they probably can't be recovered." ”
"Why don't I ask Azi to lead someone to look for it again?" I said, turning my head to Sister Gogo, I think Kuz would agree to my request.
Sister Guoguo smiled and shook her head, and whispered in my ear: "Weiru doesn't like other people's help so much, Qiangba and Lie also have very old-fashioned chivalric thinking, and if you help them, it will make them even more embarrassed." This trip is not limited to this, I heard that you will be going to the edge of the Death Swamp in a few days?"
"Well, these orcs of the Raytu tribe are all from over there, we promised the old man Gribaschina to take his tribe home and clean up all the swamp zombies in their homeland, and, Sister Guoguo, let me tell you......" I put it next to Sister Guoguo's ear, her snow-white ears were slightly pointed, and my breath turned red immediately when I sprayed on it. I said to her, "We hunt the swamp zombies there, and we get a recipe for refining corpse fire oil, and the main ingredient is the grease from the swamp zombies. ”
"Do you want to make a fire bullet?" Sister Guoguo asked in surprise, the fire bullet is not a magic scroll, it belongs to the category of alchemy, magic pharmacists and alchemists have commonalities in many fields, but magic pharmacists pay more attention to research and refining magic potions, and they are aimed at various magic guilds and magicians. Alchemists, on the other hand, are more interested in the refining of magical metal ores and the application and promotion of magical potions in various fields, such as fire bombs, underwater breathing masks, alchemy, and the transformation of the properties of various magic alloys.
Sister Guoguo knew that Qi Ge and I could make magic scrolls, but she didn't think that we could make the scrolls so well, but when she knew that we mixed eight ice grasses worth more than 20 gold into the ink, drawing frost scrolls was also extremely speechless, this thing was too bold, once the magic scroll was accidentally damaged and self-detonated, several of us would be frozen into ice slag on the edge of the test bench for the first time, so my super stable magic element control and precise carving techniques, with the help of strong magic perception, will make this simple scroll production success rate reach a nearly perfect level。
I shook my head and said, "The main thing is to sell for money, these swamp zombies live in the Death Swamp, and now it will become Az's territory, and the tribes on the edge of the swamp are all the people of Az's territory, and they also have to live! But now it's different. Kuz is going to be lord here, and their lives are going to be changed. Otherwise, who of these people cares who Az is. He and I have been thinking about finding ways to improve the lives of the people here. With that swamp of death, all the orc tribes in the territory have a more stable life. Selling those corpse fire oils to merchants should be very popular, and the alchemists of the Grimm Empire should be able to make fire bullets. I heard that there is a great chance of generating a magic core in the body of a swamp zombie, and that thing is also very valuable!"
Sister Guoguo probably didn't expect that I hadn't seen me for just over a month, and my changes would be so great, she looked at me with her mouth open and stared at me talking, her sexy lips opened into an O-shape, her fair and slender fingers inadvertently touched the edge of her lips, and asked me thoughtfully: "You want to exchange the corpse fire oil and the magic core of the swamp zombie for gold coins?"
I continued, "It's not just that. We also need to make salt, and in the future, the entire Gobi and Qinghai Lake will become the territory of Azi. This time, the fine salt we shipped back will not be exchanged for anything else, as long as we can buy the whole piece of Gobi back. Anyway, there is hardly any tribal life here in the Night Wolf Cliff, and the big Gobi outside the pass is also a borderless land, which only belongs to the blood wolf clan. I think that if the price is sufficient, the Elders of Gruuddin will seriously consider our request. ”
I looked outside that the rain had eased a bit, and stretched out one arm to let the drizzle fall on my purple scab arm, relieving the itch of the wound from the growth of new flesh. He also told her, "We still have the secret of the vermicelli, and I think Master Leipas must be very keen to sell the vermicelli to the Grimm Empire, and these vermicelli may be able to be exchanged for more food." In the future, we will also organize the tribe to go into the depths of the wasteland and make all kinds of delicious meat from the demon antelope meat that is randomly discarded in the wilderness. Sell to the Grimm Empire. ”
"Like this?" Sister Guoguo asked me as she grabbed a handful of dried meat from her pocket.
I shook my head slightly and said, "This is not delicious, we can make better!"
Caterina came up from behind. Hand a plate to Guoguo with two slices of white bread inside. Sandwiched between the two slices of bread are a thin sheet of sausage and a few slices of pursed cabbage, sprinkled with some meat floss. It is indecent, and sometimes some honey is smeared, this is usually Qige's lunch, Guoguo looked at these two pieces of very delicately decorated white bread curiously, turned his head and asked Qige: "When the nobles of your imperial capital are usually outside, they are also so particular about eating?"
Qige seemed to know that Sister Guoguo had such a question, and he didn't even raise his eyes, while looking at the parchment magic book intently, he said slowly: "Jia came up with it, but I added a little else, I don't like yogurt very much, I like sweet, this meat floss is also good with it, you can taste it!"
"Meat floss?" Sister Guoguo put the sandwich in her mouth and took a shallow bite, the fragrant taste made her face very wonderful for a moment.
"How's it smelling?" I asked faintly, "Will the kids in El Town like it?"
Hearing me say this, Sister Guoguo's face was filled with a bright smile, and she asked me with a smile: "Why don't you still open a belt buckle shop with me, why do you talk about selling bread in a blink of an eye!
Sister Guoguo gently touched a piece of upturned scab on my arm, it was very itchy, I couldn't help but scratch it gently, and the purple scab had been warped, revealing the pink tender flesh inside. Sister Guoguo exclaimed, "New skin has grown, Jia, your injury heals quickly." ”
I gently tore open the scab from the bottom of my head, revealing the new pink skin inside.
When this layer of skin first comes into contact with the air, it is like me jumping into the icy water, and the feeling of being wrapped in the cold lake water makes me shiver. The new skin was so sensitive that I could feel a subtle, cold wind flowing slowly when I came into contact with the air, and it made me shiver. And I still seem to be able to feel all kinds of thin elemental power floating in the air around me, only the rich water element is constantly spreading in from outside the tent, it is a really amazing feeling, I am surprised that these new skins are very sensitive to magical elements.
More than ninety percent of the surface of my body was torn out by the Wind Blade, and the surface of my body was almost untouched by the thunder element and the Wind Blade that burst in the last battle, and many muscle tissues were also severely damaged, and even the bones of my body had subtle cracks. Although my body is healing rapidly every day these days, it is still delayed half a month later today, when the scabs on my body can only fall off naturally under the soaking of rain.
I put my left hand on my right arm and gently wiped it, the scabs were like moss on the old wall, and where I touched them with my hand, the scabs fell one after another, revealing the new pink skin inside. The next moment, I could clearly feel the magical elements in the air through the skin on my arm. (To be continued.) )
