Chapter 265: Scouts

"Get off the raft and land."

After confirming that he had been embellished by the underground dwarves, Hathaway beckoned the people to fill the raft and go ashore, where the current is not fast, and staying in the water is a slow-moving live target, but it is better to go ashore and fight those underground dwarves to the death.

Looking at the figures competing in the bushes in front of her, Hathaway wasn't too nervous, she was just a little strange...... They were extremely careful along the way, the so-called footprints were actually nothing, even if they were discovered by the underground dwarves, they were just ordinary adventurers, and they usually wouldn't do anything to these adventurers. However, the patrols encountered in the past few days seem to be quite targeted, could it be that someone has leaked his whereabouts?

Thinking of this, her face became more and more gloomy.

After Burleman and the others landed, they found a relatively open place to line up to meet them...... In terms of numbers, the two sides are obviously not comparable, and there are at least hundreds of scattered figures in the forest.

Burliman, along with another warrior and four warriors, had already drawn their crossbows and fired them at the opposite side...... Four or five underground dwarves who had just burst out of the jungle screamed and were shot to the ground.

"Tempest Blade!" Maxim. Hansen took the lead in attacking, and the lethality of the third-level wind system group attack magic was actually not small, although the forest here was lush, there were still many of them through the gaps in the plants, and those dwarves were knocked to the ground.

Hathaway didn't strike immediately, but stood behind the warriors and looked indifferently at the underground dwarves who were rushing towards him...... These dwarves are not much different from forest dwarves, though their hair and beard are mostly gray. Probably this is why they are called 'Grey Dwarves', all of them are murderous and look quite imposing, but the team is very chaotic, like unorganized bandits.

"If the force of those underground races is like this, there is nothing to be afraid of."

After reading it, Hathaway already had a calculation in her heart. Hansen's wind magic was at work, and for a moment the underground dwarves stopped and hid behind trees. Trying to dodge those wind blades. Before I knew it, I almost got together.

Earth Flood Furnace!

Hathaway didn't hesitate to unleash the magic, and at once released two ...... The air suddenly warmed, and both the soft humus and the hard mountains turned into boiling magma. The trees burst into flames. I was glad to have it just now. The dwarves hiding behind the trees to avoid the wind blades suddenly spotted them. The big tree that was originally used to avoid the wind blade turned out to be a life-killing talisman at this moment, and those underground dwarves screamed and were swallowed by magma, and several fierce dwarven warriors used the trees as a springboard. They tried to get out of the magic range, but before they could jump out, they were shot back by a barrage of crossbow arrows.

"Let's go!"

Hathaway beckoned, and before the flames were extinguished, she quickly left—not that she wanted to wreak havoc, but that the weather was humid, and that heavy rain would soon fall, and that the fire and the missing underground dwarves would cause a cascade of reactions, and they would not be able to stay here for long. The group took the raft again and went out for more than ten miles until it was dark, then collected the raft and went ashore to find a place to stay.

This time they were lucky, they found a rather hidden cave, and after sweeping away all kinds of traces, everyone rested peacefully and ate a simple dinner.

"Your Excellency, the magic you cast shouldn't be pure fire magic, right?" Maxim. After Hansen finished eating, he suddenly asked.

Magician is a noble profession, a formal magician...... Even if it is the lowest level of first-level magic, it is still high in front of the nobles, as long as it is willing, it can accept the canonization of the lord of a country at any time, get the title of nobility, and whether or not it fulfills the obligations of the nobles depends on whether they are happy or not. A third-level magician, which can also be proud in front of the prince, when he first came into contact with Hathaway, although he knew that she was an official magician, but Maxim. Hansen didn't face up to that. In his mind, the children of the nobles naturally have their shortcuts to cultivating magic, although they can't be said to be good, but the way of fighting really can't rely on them too much.

However, today's battle completely subverted his cognition, not to mention Hathaway's grasp of the battle situation, but the power of her magic, which is amazing. Moreover, it is obviously a third-level magic, but the power released may not even be able to match the fourth- or fifth-level magic. Magma magic is not nothing, but it is basically above level 6 and level 3...... I'm afraid that even the stones can't be melted, so how can the earth be turned into magma?

These magicians can be compared to some of the scientific maniacs in the real room, and when they have doubts, they are naturally determined to find out, and Maxim, who was originally reluctant to discuss magic with Hathaway. That's when Hansen took the initiative to ask the question.

Hathaway didn't mean to cherish herself, and immediately discussed magic fusion with him...... Before I knew it, it was raining heavily, which gave everyone a good night's sleep.

At dawn, Hathaway came to the cave, only to see that it was pouring rain outside, and in a ditch formed by the sum of nature next to the cave, the turbid rain was rolling down the slope, but fortunately the cave they found was relatively high, otherwise the rain would have poured back, and they would have wanted to rest last night.

"This heavy rain can hide our whereabouts, but it also causes us problems." Leonardo. Beirut came to her and said.

"You tell everyone to get ready first, you can live today, get some hot soup and hot dishes, I'll go out and have a look first." Hathaway said, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"Count Bell, it's raining too hard outside, and you're still ......"

Didn't wait for Leonardo. After Beirut finished speaking, Hathaway had already walked out of the hole.

Of course, Hathaway didn't just walk into the rain, and the moment she walked out of the cave, she cast a vitality shield...... This is a defensive skill in the Yuan Qi technique, which is much better than a magic shield at this time, and can not only block the rain, but also maintain body temperature and hide one's own breath, the most wonderful alchemy products or spells that detect magic fluctuations are not detectable at all, which she has only recently discovered.

In just one night, the whole forest was like a swamp, walking one foot deeper and one foot shallow, but fortunately she was wearing high-waisted leather boots, the situation was not very bad, and soon after she walked past, the rain covered up a trace of qiē...... In this respect, it is indeed suitable for rushing in this kind of weather.

Hathaway carefully hid herself under the cover of the trees, searching the direction of the riverbank to see if any underground dwarves were following.

She looked around, and the rain and the dark sky were the best cover, starting from the field of vision...... Not to mention the martial arts she cultivates, the talent from the bloodline, so that her eyesight is comparable to that of an elf, if she shoots a bow and arrows, even if it is Chang this weather, it will be no problem to wear a hundred steps. Moreover, she can also release the Elemental Eye, a magical eye that no one can see except the caster, and unless the other party also has a high-level magician or alchemy instrument, she cannot sense that someone is releasing this magic.

She discerned very carefully the cunning of the underground races, and she feared that the underground dwarves would lay a net to ambush the patrol after they were attacked. After searching for nearly half a magical hour, Hathaway was sure that none of the dwarves were hiding in the rain, and returned to the cave.

After breakfast, we got back on the road, the humidity and the difficult road conditions made everyone lose interest in talking, but unfortunately it was not a good way, otherwise it would have been much easier to travel by raft. The only thing to be happy about is that you don't see any underground dwarves along the way.

Suddenly, Hathaway felt her heart move, and she raised her hand to beckon everyone to stop and hide behind the trees...... There was a 'popping' sound from not far away, and after a while, seven or eight underground dwarf big pangolin knights were seen walking unhurriedly from a distance of more than 100 meters from them.

"Didn't you say that dwarves don't like water? Are these guys too dedicated? They also came out on patrol in heavy rain. "Maxim. Hansen muttered.

"Why don't we take this opportunity to kill them?" Leonardo. Beirut is eager to try its hand at authenticity.

"They don't seem to be patrolling...... We can't do it. Hathaway shook her head.

Dealing with the Underground Dwarves was a last resort, as their mission was not to eliminate them, but to figure out why they were here and to disrupt their operations as much as possible.

"It's a shame."

Leonardo. Beirut was very sorry, "But these guys are haunted, and we are very passive." ”

Hathaway thought for a moment and said, "That's it, every time we encounter a patrol, if we act together, it's easy to show our tracks." However, I can act as a scout to clear the way ahead, and if I encounter a patrol, I can send back a warning signal in advance, what do you think? ”

"How can it be!"

Leonardo. Beirut was the first to shake his head: "There are so many of us, how can we let a lady go to the front and charge?" ”

"Earl, let me go." Burleman spoke up.

Others also stopped her, hoping that she would not take the risk.

"Don't argue, I have a special way of sensing the dwarves and great pangolins in the forest, and none of you do it better than I do. And it's not going to fight, there's nothing to fight about. ”

Hathaway's words were irrefutable, and everyone present knew very well that this was indeed the best way to go, with a strong body and keen eyesight, combined with a terrifying spell-casting ability, all of which was enough to make Hathaway a more suitable scout than others. (To be continued......)
