Chapter 3: Willy's Thoughts and the Troubles of the Tomahawk
Subscription is bleak and depressed.
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the land surrounded by mountains, casting a mysterious curtain of light on everything here.
"Do you think we'll be able to find the big lizard?" Willy broke the silence between the two of them first in the stunning view, "I don't know much about these beasts, but according to Heim, they are cunning and very good at hiding themselves. ”
"There's about a 70 percent chance of it. Rhaegar sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the influx of Origin Energy particles into his body - after Zi Chong was promoted to Archmage, even if it was just a small activity like walking, the Origin Energy around him would automatically replenish his consumption at the first time, and the speed was several times that of before.
"The two-headed dragon is a very powerful beast," the geist said, "but it usually doesn't actively attack humans, and if it does, it means that it has included humans in its diet, and for a long time, it will see this area as its hunting ground, and all humans or intelligent creatures similar to humans will be taken as prey, and in the case that almost all the people in this area have fled, we will be the best choice for it to hunt." ”
"Are they in danger of the elves?" said Willy, worriedly, "they are acting alone, and this is the perfect time for the big lizard to attack." ”
Rhaegar shook his head, "The two-headed lizard has poor eyesight, especially at night, it can barely see anything, so the day is when it comes out to be active, and now, I believe our target is staying in their lair." ”
These words obviously reassured Wei Li a lot, and the female warrior did not discuss the issue again, and the next moment, she started talking about another topic.
"That Else," she said slowly, as if considering how to phrase her, "you have mentioned her more than once, and I am sure she must have a very important place in your heart, can you tell me about her?
Rhaegar looked up at his companion and saw eyes that were pure and unadulterated.
"Perhaps," Rhaegar said thoughtfully, "I don't know how to describe how I feel about her, she's as close to me as I used to be, but that's not me now—as I said, while awakening, I've also lost a lot of memories of my past—and I've often confused and can't tell whether the image that exists in my mind belongs to her or someone else." ”
His eyes looked into the distance, where the sun was reluctantly bidding its final farewell to the world.
"She must be beautiful, isn't she?" asked Willy.
"Not very beautiful," Rhaegar corrected, "it's very beautiful, and I believe that if not in the Mage Tower, but anywhere else, her beauty is enough to make the kings of the mortal world swoon." ”
His words darkened Willy's face. Despite being extremely confident in her beauty, years of exploration and fighting have almost made her forget that she is a woman, she eats with men, rests together, she talks like a man, moves like a man, and even drinks like a man, and her face is always covered with wind, sand and dust from her constant long journey, wind, sun, and rain, almost all the enemies of beauty have been experienced by her, although these have not left any traces on her body except for making her complexion healthier, but for women who are beautiful with fair and delicate skin, this is enough to constitute an indelible regret in her heart。
"I'm convinced of that," Willy said in a dry voice, "I think they'll be back soon, and we'd better prepare our dinner before they come back." ”
The psychological changes of the female warrior did not hide from Rhaegar, and the sensitivity to soul fluctuations made the geist easily understand Willy's feelings, and although he had been extremely slow to deal with the feelings of the opposite sex since he was a god, his intuition still made Rhaegar subconsciously say some words of remedy.
"But I've always believed that everyone has their own beauty," Rhaegar said softly as she looked down at Willy, who was looking down at the dishes, "and no one can say for sure that one flower is more beautiful than the others, and beauty means different things for different people." ”
He paused slightly, thinking about how to express himself, "At least, in my eyes." In front of my eyes was a woman with very different characteristics from Elsie - if Elsie was a spring of gentle and clear water, then she was a flickering and jumping flame, each with its own characteristics, but equally fascinating. ”
Willy stopped what she was doing and looked up at Rhaeggar, and when she saw the sincere look in the other party's eyes, the female warrior knew that he was not perfunctory or comforting herself, and that all her words were sincere, which brought her heart back to the top.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I prefer that last sentence you say is true. Willy said this quickly, and then quickly lowered her head and continued the unfinished work just now, the setting sun shining on her face, covering her delicate face with a blush.
Silence reigned over the col where the two were located, but this time, a strange atmosphere surrounded them.
Ten minutes later, Nack and Heim returned to the camp, bringing back a few beasts and enough firewood, but the tomahawks did not return until the people raised the campfire and began to roast their prey.
"Something must have happened to him," Nack said uneasily, "we should go to him." ”
Almost as soon as the sub-giant's words landed, Rhaegar jumped up from the ground, "Get out of here quickly." He said hurriedly, waving his hands in unison, casting swift and defensive spells on everyone.
"What's going on?" Nack asked, puzzled, but without having to reply, he quickly knew the answer.
Less than two hundred meters away from them, the tomahawk, which was not very good at running, ran like a mad bull, and behind him, a huge black cloud was in hot pursuit.
"Run!" the dwarf waved his arms desperately, motioning for his companions to flee as everyone saw the black cloud for what it really was—a swarm of giant poisonous bees numbering at least a few million.
"It's the Thorn Bee," Heim said, gasping, as an elf who grew up in the jungle, no one knows the horror of this little bug better than him, "we must save him, or the dwarf will die." He took off his cloak and prepared to light it on the campfire - as insects, the thorn wasp had a natural fear of fire, but with so many venomous bees, the effect of the fire created by this cloak was almost negligible.
Fortunately, the team was not the only one that could create flames, before the elf's cloak began to burn, a dazzling fireball had appeared behind the battle axe, and then quickly expanded into a huge cloud of fire, and the iron thorn bees chasing in front had no time to dodge, and crashed into this death trap, and in half a second, at least tens of thousands of poisonous bees were turned to ashes by the terrible heat.
The appearance of the fire cloud effectively stopped the pursuit of the iron thorn bee, and the fear of the flames and the fate of their companions caused the insects to stop more than ten meters away from the fire cloud. But they didn't disperse, some of the poisonous bees vibrated their wings and waited in place for the fire cloud to disappear, while others flew to the sides and above the fire cloud in an attempt to bypass the barrier.
Before the Thornbee crosses the barrier created by Rhaeggar's magic, the battle axe, which has burst out with great potential, is already joined by his companions, and the frightened dwarf gasps for breath, and if it weren't for Rhaegar casting a restoring spell for him in time, he may well have become the first dwarf in the world to suffocate by running.
"Thank you. The battle axe thanked Rhaegar with unprecedented sincerity, and the next moment, the light of acceleration and protective magic flashed through his body, "The fire cloud can only last for more than ten seconds," the geist said quickly, "We need to hurry up." ”
The fear of the overwhelming array of poisonous bees overcame everything, and the team completely forgot the fatigue of the long journey, and with the help of magic, they ran away from the thorn bees at a speed several times faster than usual, and escaped from the col in a matter of seconds.
The angry swarm did not give up the pursuit, and before the fire cloud had completely dissipated, many iron thorn bees had bravely rushed in, and they had all been reduced to ashes without exception. But the actions of these insects have aroused the courage of more poisonous bees, these small insects flapped their wings, and flocked to the obstacles in front of them, and after paying a heavy price, the disappearing fire cloud was finally washed away, and by this time, some other iron stinging bees had also bypassed the fire cloud, and the swarm after the round pounced on the fleeing team like a flood of water.
These small insects that grow in the dense forests of the mountains are the objects that almost all beings who know their details do not want to provoke, they do not like to actively attack other creatures, and they do not like to divide a certain area as their territory like some bee colonies, unless you crash into the hive yourself, even if you walk in front of them, these poisonous bees will never attack you in any way.
But that doesn't mean these bugs are weak, and if anyone dares to offend their hive, they will immediately find out that these thorn bees are the most terrifying killers in the world, and can penetrate the stingers of the iron plate and the toxins on them that can kill a bull in an instant, plus at least a million in each swarm, even an archmage like Rhaegar would not dare to confront them head-on.
Thankfully, the bees weren't flying fast, at least compared to the teams that had been able to use the Swift Movement and had been able to unleash their great potential, and with the wind elemental Wind Elemental that Rhaegar summoned from time to time, the explorers had finally shaken off the swarm of bees that had been chasing them for a few hours.
