28. Departure and Return

I was in a bad mood, and even Kuz knew it was time to get away from me. www.biquge.info I sat on the back of the thunder rhino with my head hung down, and Kuz and Uncle Fred were helping old Kuru bundle his luggage, and we made sufficient preparations for this entry into the mountain, plus the original medicinal herbs and tents and felt and other luggage that needed to be carried, so that a huge bag appeared on the back of the rhinoceros, which was not very wealthy, and it looked very discordant from a distance. Pushkin, the rider who sat at the front of the neck of the Thunder Rhino, constantly reminded us not to overload the carry, and we were riding a male Thunder Rhino, because it was about to enter estrus, so it was very short-tempered and often lost its temper.

I was too young to help much, but silently watched the whole camp be demolished, everything that could be taken away was thrown on the back of the rhinoceros, and the leader of the whole caravan had gone out a few hundred meters, sitting on the thunder rhinoceros and looking far away, the long line was like a snake meandering across the grassland. There were still more than a dozen Thunderrhinos in the camp ready to go, and our Thunderrhinos were lined up very back, and there was plenty of time to pack up.

Master Leopas clasped his hands in front of his chest, standing on the last thunder rhino in charge of pressing the formation, his cold eyes could not see joy and sorrow, and it looked like a statue from a distance. Silently watching the last Thunder Rhino also followed the distant team and embarked on the journey to the orc tribe. This is arguably the last leg of the trip, and if it goes well, it will be back to Sloit, the northernmost city ever seen by mankind, by the end of the year.

The troupe's thirteen caravans had been prepared early, and the bodies of each caravan were constantly emerging with colorful circles of light, flickering and hidden inside the body. This is the greatest value of these caravans, each caravan is engraved with countless magic circles, and eventually these magic circles are connected by the inscription masters, forming a huge magic matrix that complements each other. The magical states of "Wind Rush", "Speed Excitation", "Wind Array", "Swarm Acceleration", "Force Field Control", etc., were blessed throughout the caravan, and as the bison of the Swamp Clan, known as the natural power of the Wild Bull Bloodline, let out a dull mooing sound, the convoy of the dance troupe finally merged into the large procession, slowly following behind.

The adventurers of the Starry Adventure Regiment galloped at the front of the group on their Guboren horses, and their scouts had already run ten miles away, and if they spotted a dangerous situation, they would send a signal.

I was still standing at the top of the Thunder Rhino's back, looking out from afar, and the Thunder Rhino's large thighs were the thickness of the water tank under my feet, and I let out a tremor when I stepped on the grass. The footsteps of seventy thunderous rhinos are like the drums of war. Old Kuru sat on the saddle behind the Thunderrhino with his eyes closed, while Kuz crouched beside Uncle Fred and muttered something, looking back at the trampled and skinless camp behind him, where there were only piles of ashes and dug up meadows, and there were a large number of abandoned demon antelope bones in the camp, which caused the vultures to gather in the sky, and they seemed to be patiently waiting for the caravan to go away, and then fall down in search of some leftovers.

"Don't look at it, Jia. Look what I've got!" said Kuz, grinning and smugly, leaning on the cargo box next to me. The two of us jolted together to the rhythm of the thunder rhinoceros as it walked, like a sailboat sailing on the sea cutting through waves of wind wolves.

I retracted my gaze with some disappointment, and my mood was extremely low. Maybe in the next trip, I will never see Sister Guoguo again, I have even thought that in the days when I am separated from Kuzi in the future, I will follow Sister Guoguo back to her hometown, I think maybe I will settle down there, I want to see the golden apple groves in the farmstead in her mouth, I want to see the Surin River in front of her house, I can sit in the milk tea shop selling nuts and shortbread at the corner of her house for an afternoon, but I haven't been able to achieve these things yet.

I wasn't in the mood to mess around with him, so I watched him stretch out his hand and show me a few white and crystal wind wolf toe bones on his hand, only to know that he wanted to make wolf bone buttons with me, but I never got up my spirits, so I had to turn my head away, avoid his gaze and say, "I'm sorry, Kuz!"

Old Kuru gave me a meaningful look and said slowly, "Maybe you can try to calm your mind!" Try meditating on what I taught you last night, learning knowledge can pass the time during the boring journey. ”

I nodded and sat down obediently beside old Kuru, and Kuz sat down quietly beside me with his head down. This was how the three of us spent our seventeen months of the caravan crossing the Neo-Siachis Mountains in the seat of the saddle behind the Thunder Rhinoceros. It was the old Kuru who suggested that I once again feel the magic "Shadow Cloak" that I learned last night, this is a simplified version of the "Shadow Cloak" carefully designed for me after reading countless classics, this skill is similar to the elven talent skill "Concealment" or the Ranger skill "Latent", both are a stealth skill. The Shadow Cloak is a skill that uses magical power to change the light around the body and hide itself in the dark.

Because I don't have a lot of mana in my body, old Kuru has simplified this skill appropriately, and even so, this elementary magic skill still requires me to use magic spells and draw magic array charms at the same time, and it requires almost all the magic power in my body to be able to cast it barely once. Even so, the Simplified Shadow Cloak had a big drawback in that I had to use it in dim light or shadow.

Old Kuru's words meant to make me understand the subtle connection between magic spells and magic arrays, and only a rookie like me, who can't use the primary magic of "time stagnation", would worry about such a thing as the spell and the magic circle being out of sync, because with the "time stagnation" of self-casting, as long as the magicians complete the recitation of the spell and the success of the magic array in this state, there will be no embarrassing situation that the spell and the magic array are out of sync. But old Kuru told me that it was actually a good thing for me, and that I could seriously understand the delicate relationship between the spell and the magic circle.

Old Kuru said that now the magicians who have awakened the magic pool are very fast food when they learn to eat magic skills, and there are tutors in the magic academy who specialize in teaching magic spells and tutors who specialize in teaching magic arrays, and all magician apprentices only need to be able to correctly pronounce the complete magic spell within a fixed time, as long as the pronunciation is not wrong, the spell remains intact and passed, and few magician apprentices care about the unique rhythm of the magic spell itself and the magic circle has any relationship with it. And drawing a magic array is also the same brainless, you only need to continuously and steadily output the magic force, and draw a stable magic array in the time of the land, so that the assembly line magic spell and the magic array are cast at the same time, and the success rate of magic casting will reach 100%. However, Old Kuru said that the current magicians rely too much on the magic of "time stagnation", and have not found any flaws yet, but he still hopes that when I no longer have enough magic power to learn the magic of "time stagnation", I can seriously calm down and use primary magic to understand the subtle relationship between spells and magic arrays.

I don't know why, my keen magical perception is slowly and gradually strengthening my other five senses, this is what I discovered recently, I found that my strength is getting better and better, and even on a sunny day, I can see a little farther than Kuz, you must know that the orc's physique is far beyond that of humans, and the three senses of sight, hearing, and smell in the five senses are more able to throw off human beings a few streets, and now I suddenly found that I can see a little farther than Kuz, at first I wondered if Kuzi was a short-sighted werewolf, and then after secretly testing my eyesight with Uncle Fred, I found that my eyes are really good, although my hearing and smell are still far behind Kuz, but also much better than Uncle Fred.

Sometimes I wonder if Uncle Fred has been hollowed out by the wine, which has caused a decline in physical fitness in many ways, but I don't want to expose these differences between me and others, so I don't want to try it with others.

After the entire caravan was on track, Leopas, the highest leader of the caravan, was picked up by the leader of the Starry Adventure Regiment, Lord Breguet, with a Guboren horse, and returned to the Thunder Rhino at the front of the caravan, which was the car belonging to the leader. When Lord Breguet, a sturdy warrior on a horse and wearing full armor, passed by the Thunder Rhino where I was, I suddenly felt that that person was a wall, and it was a very strange feeling, just like when I looked up at the winding and undulating Great Wall at the foot of the Great Wall, I felt a tremor in my heart.

At this time, the mighty and powerful Breguet suddenly looked at us with a feeling, and his sharp eyes quickly swept over us, and the murderous aura that surged into my face made my face instantly turn pale. Old Kuru, who was sitting next to me, just raised his eyelids and glanced at Breguet, and the Breguet leader smiled at us kindly, tugging at the corners of his mouth to take back the murderous aura. It was just a matter of an instant, and Breguet and the mysterious magician hiding in the cloak next to him ran out dozens of meters away in an instant.

And I still felt keenly that moment before, the strange magician hiding in the cloak suddenly looked back, and the serpent-like eyes swept over me, sending chills down my spine.

"Hmph!" Old Kuru snorted coldly, the cold snort was obviously heard by the three people dozens of meters away, the three of them invariably lowered their bodies, raised their whips and whipped them on the horse's buttocks, and the two galloping Gubolai horses neighed neatly, as if frightened and rushed forward, as fast as lightning.

When the men were gone, old Kuru withdrew his gaze and turned to look at me, but said nothing.

"Teacher, why do I feel that the leader of the Starry Adventure Group is like a tall city wall?" I still couldn't help but ask this question.

Old Kuru grinned slightly, pointed his hand at my head and said, "I thought you could hold back and not ask." This is because your sixth sense intuition is already sharp enough to sense the 'momentum' in Breguet. Hey, even in the war school, these things are knowledge that only seven or eight warrior apprentices can access, in your words: a ninth-level peak warrior who has only one foot on the tenth-level threshold, after becoming a tenth-level warrior, his strength will be significantly improved. Before entering the tenth level, every warrior needs to break through a bottleneck, and that is the comprehension of 'potential'. ”

"That wall is his 'momentum'?" I asked.

Old Kuru just nodded, but didn't speak again. I knew that Old Kuru was not ready to say much in front of outsiders, and when I was thinking about how to let Old Kuru talk about these things in the evening, I suddenly noticed a few black spots on the grassland in the distance, and a faint amount of dust raised behind the black spots......

My heart suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, which made me stand up in surprise and look into the distance.

"Hey, your sixth sense is actually growing rapidly, and if you don't know how to be restrained, someone will eventually notice your difference. Old Kuru's voice rang in my ears again, and the sound that rang in my heart like a bell shook my eardrums. But I stood up without paying attention, and looked into the distance without blinking, and gradually the black dots became clearer and clearer, and they were a few Gubolai horses running.

As the horses galloped and kept getting closer, the familiar figures came into my view.
