Chapter 31: Escape
"Ciel, this way!"
Qin Zheng corrected the direction in which they were heading, and made marks in some inconspicuous places along the way, so that he could enter and exit the huge forest freely and not get lost. し0。 When Ciel approached, Qin Zheng returned the elf to him and smiled apologetically. As Qin Zheng expected, Hill noticed that something was wrong with Fengluo at a glance, but he didn't say anything, carefully hid the elf in his clothes, and now getting rid of the pursuit of the rock-eating insects is the most important thing.
"It was so dangerous," Lindsay grumbled, panting, "I'd rather grope in the dark than see any more traces of starlight, this thing is really harmful!"
The others kept silent and followed Qin Zheng's footsteps, deeply impressed by Lindsay's complaints. There are scattered traces of starlight meters in the darkness that cannot be illuminated by the light crystals, and the color is already very light, no longer clear and eye-catching, presumably left by the mercenaries who passed by here before.
Normally, in order to avoid getting lost, it has always been the consensus of mercenaries to use starlight meters as a mark, and many people use it, and the effect is good, but it does not include huge primeval forests and areas with complex landforms. These places are already very easy to get lost, and the most taboo marks are disturbed or covered by other marks, and it is better to use a knife, dagger, or something to chisel out the markers than to use starlight meters. Of course, this does not mean that the chiseled marks are foolproof, and the shortcomings that cannot be recognized at night are once abandoned by mercenaries who are used to walking at night.
"Chief, have you made a mark?" asked Li Wei, who ran a few steps closer to Qin Zheng. "It's so hidden that I've been paying attention for a long time and haven't seen the mark. Before, he was intimidated by that sword move that seemed to be an arcane technique, but now he was intrigued by the invisible mark, and a trace of frenzy flashed in his eyes when he looked at Qin Zheng.
Suddenly, hearing Li Wei mention the marker, Kino, who had always been indifferent and speechless, also showed an interested look, and his gaze moved to Qin Zheng.
"Of course, the marks engraved by the mind are not visible to the eyes. ”
As soon as Qin Zheng's words fell, the hurried footsteps of the Hawkeye people paused for a moment, and before they had time to catch their breath, they all looked at the mysterious and young leader, their faces full of shock, and even ignored the current situation.
God knows how difficult it is to cultivate spiritual power, to be able to release spiritual power and leave a lasting mark on the object, only a person at the level of a senior elementalist or above can do it.
They had not forgotten that the young leader was only sixteen years old. Sixteen years old as a bud as childish, at the age of sixteen, I didn't know which elementalist to be a miscellaneous apprentice under the elemental, and the leader's spiritual power was already comparable to that of a high-level elemental, even close to the existence of a magister.
The problem is, this is the barren Origin Continent instead of the rich Landis Continent! Everyone couldn't help but look at each other and found that they all had similar ideas. With no resources, no knowledge, and even erased history, it is impossible to understand, this young leader actually raised his spiritual power to such a terrifying realm in this poor and white place, and let the people of Lantis live?
First found out that he had contracted several powerful magical beasts, and then showed suspected arcane sword skills, and now the unintentionally exposed spiritual power is close to the Magus, and a series of blows have made these Landisians, Hawkeye's sense of superiority in their hearts be shattered little by little. If you swore to become a follower before because you have the grace to save your life, the pride in your heart is still a little reluctant, but now you are following it with an iron heart.
There is no shame in following the strong, on the contrary, it is a supreme honor.
When these twelve big men were thinking nonsense, Qin Zheng stopped and looked back at them, puzzled, "What's the matter? Why do you use it...... Looking at me with hot eyes?" There is a disgusting giant worm chasing after him, what does it mean to suddenly stop and stare at him?
A man with a beard on his cheeks and chin stepped forward, plunged his great sword into the earth, struck his left chest with a fist with his right hand, and said with deep affection: "Chief, it is the greatest honor of Spark's life to be able to follow you!"
Sparky looked to be in his thirties, tall, broad-shouldered and thick-backed, wearing armor and holding a heavy shield, and the whole person was very powerful.
Qin Zheng met his bright dark eyes, "Spark, you ......" Before he finished speaking, Lawrence Feng, Levi, Lindsay, Charles and others rushed to express their deep honor. This made Qin Zheng confused, and glanced at Hill in confusion, not inexplicably excited like the others, but smiled lightly and put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, just like his noble background, his gestures reflected full upbringing.
The rustle of leaves rubbing against each other, the breaking of branches, and the rumble of trees falling to the ground were getting closer and closer, and everyone subconsciously looked back, and could vaguely see the wriggling body of the rock-eating insects.
"Damn, it's ghostly!" Elaine cursed under his breath, clenching the sword in his hand.
"Let's go!"
Being interrupted like this, Qin Zheng didn't think much about it and immediately ran away, and everyone raised their heels and ran all night in the direction of the edge of the forest.
"It's me who is not good, blame me for being too hungry to resist the temptation, I promise you not to touch the wind and fall, never again......" Qin Xie explained unyieldingly, and went straight to Qin Zheng's mind through his heart. "Don't be jealous, okay, you've been talking about it for so long?"
"Shut up. Qin Zheng said upset, concentrating his mind on searching for the road signs left before, and at the same time, he had to endure Qin Xie's chattering fragments. Jealousy? I felt angry and funny in my heart, what a mess, thinking of the rock-eating insects or Qin Xie deliberately put them in, my mood became bad. As long as he is not forced into a desperate situation, he does not want to fight with insects at all, especially the giant insects with ring-shaped folds. "Why don't you go get that disgusting guy away?"
Qin Xie's eyes raised and bent in a strange arc, thinking to himself, didn't he just wait for this sentence all along, and flapped his wings and went straight to the rock-eating insects.
Before Qin Xie could get closer, the rock-eating insect sensed an extremely dangerous aura coming towards it, and it was so startled that it immediately stopped its body, swaying its clumsy and huge body and squirming backwards for a distance.
Finding that the rock-eating insects stopped chasing, Qin Zheng, Hawkeye and the others also stopped. Running all the way was physically exerting, and a few of them in armor even leaned on the trees and gasped, their hair wet with sweat and washed away the traces of the Dao on their dirty faces. Qin Zheng knew that it must have been Qin Xie who stopped the rock-eating insects, and with enough eyesight, even if there was light crystals illuminating, it was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything outside the three zhangs, and he felt a little happy and a little regretful in his heart.
Ciel was shocked: "Don't sacrifice the elf, he is a part of you and your talent, if you can't escape from being chased tonight, Hawkeye would rather fight to the death!"
"Don't be nervous, I have confidence in Qin Xie," Qin smiled on his face. "Can you see it?" The rock-eating insects were left behind by them for at least thirty feet, and this distance in the dark forest was not visible to the naked eye unless they were perceived with their minds.
"Dark vision is the talent of our Twilight Protoss. ”
Qin Zheng remembered that Hill did have night vision. At that time, he only knew that Hill was a Qur'an, and he didn't know anything about his origin and origin, and Hou An didn't say or mention it, so he always thought that Hill wore some jewelry or ate some strange fruit to have the ability to see at night, so he envied it for a while. Now he kind of understood why 'Hawkeye' was called Hawkeye, and if these Landisians, who were good at moving at night, were compared to eagles, then Hill was Hawk's eyes, sharp and precise.
At this time, a cloud of green light flew over at an extremely fast speed, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Hill stared at the dark elf who was drowned in green light, his expression was stunned for a while, and it was solved in just a few words? Isn't he joking? Rock-eating insects have low intelligence, and their combat power is also very weak, they look very easy to bully, and after having an immortal body, they have become an unprovoked and difficult to deal with, the higher the level, the more difficult it is, you can cut it but you can't cut it, otherwise it will turn into a nightmare! Anyway, the rock-eating insect is a sixth-order demonic beast, how can it be easily ......?
He didn't want to believe it, and turned his head to look at the position where the rock-eating insect was still there for a moment. The rock-eating insect that had been chasing after it with great vigor had no signs of life at this moment, and its massive body was rapidly decaying, becoming smaller and smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turning into a puddle of viscous liquid with an unrecognizable shape, if it was dead.
What a powerful dark elf! Hill was shocked, and couldn't help but reassess Qin Zheng's strength again, and vaguely felt that it didn't seem to be all.
"For you, I know you like gems the most. Qin Xie held the green light in his arms high in front of Qin Zheng's eyes like a treasure, smiling flatteringly.
Qin Zheng took it in a daze, and it was the first time he had seen a gem after being reborn. The perfect iscosahedron is about an inch and a half in diameter, and the crystals contain vigorous vitality, and the vitality is thick like water, and the overflowing life brilliance is constantly changing into a deeper or lighter green. Just one glance at it, I fell into it, as if I had fallen into a sea of green, sparkling and shining with a charming brilliance that made it impossible to take my eyes off it, and an inexplicable feeling came to my heart, as if this gem had been seen somewhere.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the unusually beautiful light of the gem, and they couldn't help but gather around to see the real thing.
Hill's pupils shrank suddenly, and in an instant, countless fragments of images flashed through his mind, flying chaotically and wildly, gradually forming an orderly conjecture, combined with the doubts that had been long, the truth behind it emerged. After a pause, he tried to calm down but it didn't work, and said excitedly: "Hurry up and put it away, let's get out of here quickly!"
