Chapter 15: The Hunting Tide
Before dawn, An Chen woke up.
He turned on the Dark Breathing Method again, wanting to see what the rest of the chapters were about.
"Lost Steps: Saving Your Life. ”
When An Chen saw the words in front of him, he felt very puzzled, "What is this?"
"Lost steps, the figure of the person who learns can be ever-changing, hiding invisibly, evading pursuit, and turning danger into invisible. ”
"Damn!" An Chen was shocked, "This dark breathing method not only contains the method of cultivating spiritual power, but also the method of preserving life?"
An Chen stared at the book and glanced at it a few more times, "This exercise requires a lot of mental power, and it requires extremely high spiritual power from magicians. No wonder...... Without the Dark Breathing Method, it would be almost impossible to practice this Lost Step. If there is such a maze step...... Then when I face a magician who is stronger than me, I can at least save my life. Even, with this weird footwork, maybe I can still have an advantage. Well, that's a good thing!"
An Chen flipped through the book again, but he didn't find any other exercises.
"It seems that in addition to the method of cultivating spiritual power, this book only contains a trace step. But it's okay, let's comprehend the Lost Trail first!"
In the following year, An Chen's life was very regular. In the morning, I learned the Lost Steps, in the afternoon I felt the magic of the thunder attribute and the dark attribute, while still trying to comprehend the magic of the light attribute, and in the evening, I continued to practice spiritual power according to the method mentioned in the Dark Breathing Method.
In the past year, An Chen has mastered the first form of the Lost Step, and he can quickly increase his speed in an instant. An Chen has also mastered two thunder-attribute magics, and the dark magic is relatively slow to comprehend, but he has also successfully mastered one move. Only the light magic still didn't react at all. At the level of spiritual power, An Chen's ascension was relatively slow, estimated at around 1,150, and it seemed that it would take a lot of energy to go from 1,100 to 1,200 perfections.
However, no matter what, this year, An Chen's strength has been greatly improved. It can be said that from now on, he truly understood the mystery of magic.
At this moment, An Zhen's voice came from outside the door, "Chen'er, the beast hunting activity will start soon, after you get ready, come with me." ”
At this time, An Chen remembered that there was still a beast hunting activity waiting for him to participate. This beast hunting event refers to an activity that rounds up monsters. Every two years, a beast tide will break out in the Afis Canyon in the south of White Town, and a large number of demonic beasts will appear. And the people of White Town usually choose to hunt demonic beasts on a large scale at this time. The beast core in the body of the demonic beast can be used to trade and sell for money, and the beast blood in the body can be tempered to refine the body, and some high-level demonic beasts will even condense crystals in the brain. If people can obtain this crystal, they will be able to master the beast art of Warcraft, which is very tempting.
In the previous beast tide activities, because An Chen was not a magician, he was not qualified to participate. And now, An Chen has learned magic, and is naturally called by his father to experience the experience of hunting beasts.
"Oh, that's a nuisance. Isn't it good to stay at home quietly?What's so fun about hunting demonic beasts?" An Chen himself was very indifferent to this activity and didn't want to participate, but he couldn't resist his father's arrangement, so he had to leave and come to the mouth of the canyon with everyone.
At the mouth of the canyon, An Chen saw a lot of familiar people, everyone in the An family was there, and Su Wanting also came. In addition, the other four major families also sent a lot of people to participate, and many ordinary families also came, and they seemed to be extremely well prepared.
"Are you ready?" An Chen said to the rest of the An family, "Since this is the first time that someone has participated in the hunting of beasts, I will tell you some more things to pay attention to, you must remember them." First of all, this canyon is divided into five layers, and the further you go inside, the higher the level of the demonic beast, and the more dangerous it becomes, so we divide it according to our strength, and everyone can only stay in the circle where they are, and they are not allowed to go deeper. Those who have not reached the first level of magicians can only hunt at the entrance of the canyon, the first-level magicians can enter the first layer area of the inner circle of the canyon, and the second-level magicians can enter the second layer area of the canyon, the elders, that is, the third-level magicians are eligible to enter the third layer of the canyon, and I will go to the fourth layer, as for the fifth-layer area in the deepest part of the canyon, no one in the entire White Town has dared to step in, where lives the beast king of this canyon, and it is also the only fifth-order level magical beast in this mountain range. Do you understand?"
Everyone in the An family nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.
"Everyone, you're ready, and you're ready to go. Everyone should be careful, as long as they stay in their own area, their lives will not be in danger, and at the same time, they must keep an eye on the members of the other four major families. Although there are rules in White Town that humans are not allowed to kill their siblings during the hunting of beast tides, methods such as snatching beast cores and other tricks are still allowed. So be careful, it's best not to go alone, at least in a group. Alright, let's go!"
Then, An Zhen came to An Chen's side alone and said to An Chen, "Chen'er, be more careful, remember to only move at the entrance of the canyon!"
An Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll be careful." ”
After hearing An Chen's reply, An Zhen didn't say anything more, and immediately walked towards the inside of the canyon.
"Hey, why haven't you left yet?" Seeing that Su Wanting beside her was still standing in place, An Chen asked suspiciously.
Su Wanting smiled, approached An Chen's side, picked An Chen's chin with her hand, and said, "Isn't this to wait for you?"
An Chen's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly brushed Su Wanting's hand away and said, "Come less, you have such a good heart?"
"Cut! Your father asked me to take care of you. At least in pairs, I'll be with you. ”
An Chen stuck out his tongue and said, "Then let's go." ”
Afterwards, the two walked into the canyon. Although the range of activity is only at the entrance of the canyon, the area at the entrance of the canyon is very large, and you may even get lost in it.
"Eh, Wanting, why do you say these demonic beasts form a beast tide? Isn't it convenient for us to kill?" On the way, An Chen asked Su Wanting as he walked.
"It is said that all this is an order from the fifth-order demonic beast in the innermost part of the canyon. Perhaps because the area of the canyon is limited, and the demonic beasts reproduce quickly, in order to ensure that the number of demonic beasts does not exceed a certain range, the fifth-order demonic beast issued an order every two years, asking the demonic beasts to go out to hunt humans. So, for Warcraft, they will also try their best to eat us. It's just that, generally speaking, the intelligence of Warcraft is not as high as that of humans, and the strength spells are not as good as those of magicians of the same level. Therefore, as long as we follow Uncle An Zhen's statement, if we are only at the outer entrance, there will be no danger to our lives. ”
"I see. An Chen nodded, and then exclaimed, "Look, there! That's a little thunder leopard!"
This was the first magical beast An Chen and Su Wanting saw in the canyon. This little thunder leopard is obviously a cheetah with a thunder attribute that has just been born, and its strength is weak, and it will not be An Chen's opponent at all.
"Little leopard, don't run!" An Chen was extremely excited, this was the first time he had made a move to fight against a demonic beast.
In an instant, An Chen came to the side of the little thunder leopard, and with a wave of his palm, a chain appeared on An Chen's hand out of thin air, and thunder and lightning were surrounded above the chain. Without the slightest hesitation, An Chen shook the chain, and the iron chain with the thunder attribute immediately restrained the little thunder leopard. The next moment, An Chen lightly recited "Ben Thunder Fist" in his mouth, and then quickly punched. The fist with the power of thunder and lightning immediately hit the little thunder leopard. These are the two thunder attribute magic that An Chen has realized in the past six months: the thunder chain and the thunder fist.
The little thunder leopard didn't have time to resist, and it didn't last long before he fell to the ground and died. A small stone in the shape of a sphere appeared beside it, which was the core of the Thunder Leopard.
"Yes, An Chen! The first shot was so quick to deal with a little thunder leopard. In the rear, Su Wanting arrived unhurriedly, and was a little surprised by An Chen's combat experience. After all, it's not like anyone can quickly take out the little thunder leopard in the first battle.
"That's!" An Chen smirked, "I don't want to know who this young man in front of you is?"
Su Wanting rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "This guy's narcissism has made the mistake again." ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, Sister Wanting is here for you! Let me also see your strength! Have you grown in the past six months?"
Su Wanting smiled, raised her eyebrows at An Chen, and said, "Then you can take a good look." ”
Then, she lunged forward, locking onto a tiger in the distance.
In an instant, Su Wanting waved her hands, and a huge water balloon appeared on her chest. An Chen is no stranger to this water balloon, this is the water balloon that Su Wanting threw at An Chen in the creek at that time. It's just that this time the water balloon seems to be bigger than the previous one, and the power contained in it is also more powerful.
The tiger didn't have time to dodge, and was immediately hit by the water balloon. The water balloon smashed into the tiger's back, making a huge splash and setting off a thin layer of mist. After the mist dissipated, I looked at it again, and the tiger behind me had fallen to the ground and died of exhaustion.
"Damn!" An Chen opened his mouth, he didn't expect this water balloon to be so powerful now. This can't help but make him wonder if this water balloon is the same water balloon that Su Wanting threw at him half a year ago?
As if seeing the doubts in An Chen's heart, Su Wanting said to An Chen with a smile, "This is the same trick." It's just that the level of comprehension of magic is different, and the power of the tricks used is also different. Therefore, it is possible for two people to perform the same spell, but one of them has a much better understanding of this spell than the other, so the same trick has completely different power. In the past six months, I have also understood this a little deeper. ”
After taking the tiger's beast core, Su Wanting raised her eyebrows at An Chen again, and said with a smile, "So, peerless genius, don't be too proud and complacent, pride will make people fall behind." ”
In the following month, An Chen and Su Wanting hunted demonic beasts together at the entrance of the canyon. Along the way, they didn't encounter very dangerous and powerful magical beasts. Most of the demonic beasts can be solved with only one of An Chen and Su Wanting. A few slightly stronger demonic beasts were also easily killed under the joint efforts of An Chen and Su Wanting. For a month, An Chen and Su Wanting were hunting monsters and joking with each other. Su Wanting laughed at An Chen for not understanding the romance of girls, and An Chen laughed at Su Wanting for being too fierce and not a girl......
"Whew, this month has been fruitful!" An Chen looked at the bag full of beast cores in his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes, this hunt is almost over, and we can get ready to go out. Su Wanting hit the water balloon on the back of a wolf, wiped the sweat on her head, and said happily.
An Chen took advantage of the situation and prepared to take the beast core of the dead wolf in front of him.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew ahead, rolling the beast's core up. Then, a familiar voice came from An Chen's ears, "An Chen, give us this beast core." As for your words...... It's still too late to run. ”
