87. The wasteland is my home (2)
It wasn't until the moment when two knights riding two Gubolai horses appeared at the place where we crossed the river, that we realized that the distance between us and Ming Qian was only half a day's journey, and if it was in the wasteland of the smooth road, maybe their fast horses would be able to catch up with us at this time, but at this time we could only look at each other across the river, and I could even see Ming Qian's angry and distorted face from a distance, cursing in his mouth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info and Dayi, who was riding on a horse, looked at the Urutu River in a daze, wanting to drive the Gubolai horse into the river to test the depth of the river, but the horse refused to step into the other leg after one hoof stepped into the river, but just snorted and retreated.
Kuzi smiled very cheaply at this time, and sang loudly in the center of the river in a very unique orc language, for fear that Ming Qian and Dayi on the other side would not see us. Ming Qian's eyes followed Kuz's singing, and he urged the Gubo Horse to chase us along the river bank, and the Gu Bo Ma chased us like a gust of wind, but there was always a distance of fifty or sixty meters from us, at this time Ming Qian took off an ironwood longbow from the horse, and pulled out an arrow and threw it at a thirty-degree angle to the sky.
Seeing the arrows made of fine iron fly over our heads and shoot directly into the grass on the opposite bank of the river made us panic.
"Damn, Az, he can shoot us, we need to work harder, hurry up!" I said to Kuz.
"It's okay, he's just scaring us, this kind of projectile must be shot by many people to be a threat to us, and the first few feathered arrows are used to calibrate the position. Kuz got up and pulled out an iron pot from the pile of materials that was piled up beside the beast, took it in his hand and said to me, "If he finishes shooting in a while, he can use this to block the feathered arrows, which is very useful." β
"Hey, Miss Qi, what are you doing on the back of the Agui Beast?" I saw Qi Ge stand up and throw the oar aside, and climbed onto the back of the Agui Beast with his feet, worried that she would be injured by the flying feather arrows, and asked her worriedly.
She drew the magic sword at her waist and drew a six-pointed star array in the air without saying a word, and the next moment, as a series of incantations came out of her mouth, a magic ball the size of a coconut gradually formed on her chest. That's when we realized that there was still a magician apprentice in our team, and although it would only be one attack magic over and over again, the power should not be underestimated.
The magic range of a mage is much greater than that of an archer's feathered arrows, even if the longbow can be thrown at a maximum distance of sixty or seventy yards, if it is farther away, the accuracy of the feathered arrows will be lost. However, the magician's spell attack range easily reached a distance of eighty yards, so when the white magic bullet in Qige's hand began to take shape, Ming Qian, who was riding on Gu Bolai's horse on the shore, screamed in fright and urged the horse to run downstream. But where you can run, the speed of the magic bullet is much faster than that of the feather arrow, and the power is not the same.
Because the distance between the two sides is relatively long, and besides, it is still directly cast in front of Ming Qian, so when the magic bullet is shot out, although Ming Qian is very embarrassed, such a primary magic bullet has no target lock function, and the magic bullet brushes the edge of the horse's tail under Ming Qian's body, and the sharp howl that breaks through the air frightened Ming Qian hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran in a panic in the direction where he came.
Kig stood majestically on the back of the Agamon, and in this age full of magic, the magician is above all professions. As long as they distance themselves from the enemy, even the archers will have to retreat in the face of the mage. Of course, archers also have the advantage of archers, and in fact, the two major professions that can really threaten mages in war are archers and high-level assassins. Just like Viru, the leader of the Wind Chaser Adventure Group is a demon hunting archer, and the so-called demon hunting is more meaningful in hunting demonic beasts and demons in the underground world, but there is also an insinuation of magicians.
There are no assassins and archers in Ming Qian's team, after Ming Qian's actions to me last time, Sister Guoguo said that he learned the skills of an eighth-level warrior, and I am afraid that he will have to take the warrior route in the future, after all, this profession is easier to survive on the battlefield, for Ming Qian, a warrior apprentice, the ability to use bows and arrows is the basic requirement of the academy for him, and the graduation exam will never require accuracy or the like, so even if he is standing on the bank of the river now with a special ironwood longbow in his hand, he still can't threaten us, on the contrary, he was angry and once again ate a nose of ash under Qige's handsγ
As for Ming Qian is a nobleman, Qi Ge is also a nobleman, I once asked Qi Ge why the two of you are not familiar with each other, and neither of you buys anyone's account, why is this? Qi Ge replied that there are many nobles in the imperial capital like a carp crossing the river, and a magician who is casually pulled over is a nobleman, and you will know each other anywhere. In the Grimm Empire, it is the law that restricts the nobles, but out of the Grimm Empire, what restricts the nobles is force, and now at this time, it is still the case that whoever has the big fist has the right to speak.
I don't think the group of people chasing after us will be just the two of them, maybe the people behind them haven't had time to catch up.
My prediction was very accurate, and it was the last thing we wanted. When we finally brought the raft to the opposite bank of the river with our oars, six knights and five Gubolai horses had gathered on the opposite bank, one of them on which two warriors were on board, and they stood quietly on the shore watching us. It was probably our frost trap that night that worked, and they lost a horse, and it would be very difficult to lose their feet in the wasteland.
But when we saw that almost every one of them rushed over in embarrassment when they saw the Urutu Ice Water River, and both men and horses were drinking in the icy water, we were a little dumbfounded, and Kuz and I looked at each other and thought about the same question, that is, if we were going around in circles on the waterless wasteland with these golden spoons, would they go home early in a few days? After all, the problem of water is definitely a big problem.
Our group slowly drove the Agui beast ashore, and then carried all the luggage on the raft to the shore, and the whole raft was dragged to the shore to break down into scattered materials. Caterina squatted on the grass on the shore in a linen coat and trousers, her long fiery red hair half-dried and tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and the sheepskin sacs were rolled into curls and tied together. I found that the more difficult the environment, the more capable Caterina became, which was different from her usual laziness and slippery in the caravan, thinking about everything and asking the girl to help her do everything, she was more energetic in the wasteland, not only did she keep all the supplies in order, but she also seemed to be very physically and mentally strong, even if she didn't sleep all night, she would still be very energetic the next day.
Our group was not in a hurry to leave, and I thought that the group on the other side must be trying to find a way to cross the river.
It was already ten o'clock at noon, Kuzi went out with an alloy bow to ponder and bake two rabbits to eat, Mingqian's group of noble children have been behind us, like a few hungry wolves to make us sleep day and night, although we can already look across the river, it seems to be close, but it is a rare and safest moment, so Kuzi will hunt back two fat hares so unhurriedly.
Qige was carrying a herbal backpack and a medicine hoe to dig Ning Shen grass in the depths of the grassland, it seemed that I saw a hemostatic grass behind the stones on the bank of the river not far away, growing brightly in the cracks of the stones, I was thinking that such a large plant of healing potions has been made for at least five years to stop bleeding, why is there no orcs to collect it back, it is said that this thing should be worth a few copper plates, isn't it the time for orcs to famine?
Slowly, I found that the south and north banks of the Urutu River are completely two worlds, the north bank is even more desolate, there is only green alfalfa grass on the bank that can feed the horses, and all kinds of game are difficult to find. But on the south bank, as far as the eye can see, there is a very strange medicinal herb growing in the meadow in the distance, and almost the entire meadow is full of some low-grade magical herbs. The slopes of the meadows are littered with burrows dug by guinea pigs and hares, and their clever little heads pop out of their burrows from time to time, disappearing at the slightest movement.
I pulled out my silver-plated shotgun and lay down in the grass, the yellow grass didn't hide my body, but it didn't matter, there were at least three caves in my field of vision that contained small beasts, I just had to stuff the copper peas into the barrel of the gun and wait patiently for them to poke their heads out. The midday sun shone on my body, and the leather jacket absorbed enough heat to convey it to my body, making me feel warm.
After entering the wasteland, I began to use magic unscrupulously, always using "anti-magic" to consume the excess fire element in the body, and then quietly waiting for the mana to be consumed, the "heating" magic recovery magic in the body flickered slightly, and my "heating" magic has risen to level four in the past few days, although I don't think the magic has recovered so fast, but after all, there is progress, isn't it?
My magical perception is slightly increasing every day, maybe my mental power is growing, and I find that my mental power is slowly growing up after living under great pressure every day. The Silver Shotgun is blessed with the "Tongue of Fire Weapon" buff magic status, a magic that has the effect of inflicting additional fire damage on enemies each time. I've always wanted to experiment with the effects of the "Tongue of Fire Weapon", and I know that I will only have the opportunity to try it today, and my hunting object is also a hare in the pasture.
The fingertips were full of magic force concentrated at one point, and quickly drew a perfect magic pattern circle, and the next moment the magic pattern circle suddenly formed a fist-sized fireball in the air, and with a "whew", it got into the body of the silver-plated shotgun in my hand, and the silver-plated barrel was immediately dyed with a layer of light red, and I could clearly feel that there was a rich and violent fire-based magic power in the shotgun. This state can last for nearly half an hour or so, at this time, the silver-plated shotgun is only gentle in my hands, and anyone else will be burned by the irritable fire element inside, I hold my breath and even my eyes have to be narrowly slit, because Kuzi told me that the beasts in the wasteland are born with a strong ability to predict danger, and they will be very keen to sense whether there are hunters in the dark, mainly to feel the murderous aura revealed in the hunters' eyes.
