Chapter 62: Wild Imps
As the sun set, Chen Zhuo and the others finally came to the entrance of the Wailing Cave. "Every time at dusk, a white mist rises from the Wailing Cave."
"Whoa~Hey~" Marcus hadn't finished his introduction, and a wisp of white gas floated out of the cave with a wail, like Dou E who died unjustly, like Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall, making people feel lost and depressed. Chen Zhuo's heartbeat accelerated at this time, and even Charles raised his shield, leaving beads of sweat on both sides of his head. Marcus pressed Charles's shield and said slowly: "I was also very frightened when I first came to the vicinity of Wailing, it seems that we can't go down the cave today, I remember that there are a few big trees near here, on which people can sleep." Let's go there for the night today, it's too dangerous to pitch a tent on the ground. ”
After listening to Marcus's words, Chen Zhuo turned his head and asked Bonnie, "Bonnie, can you sleep in the tree?" ”
"Master, it's the tree, it's the trunk and the branches."
Marcus got used to hearing Bonnie along the way, and said, "It's okay, we can pull the hammock, as long as we don't sleep like Charles, there will be no danger." ”
"Hey! Marcus! I slept in a tree and rolled over and fell to the ground, are you going to talk about ten years? ”
"Ahh How did you say it yourself? ”
"You!"
Watching Marcus play with Charles, Naxi was happy with a "poof". Seeing this, Marcus smiled and said, "Naxi, you have to take care of your big baby at night!" ”
In a word, Naxi changed from snickering to shyness, and Charles directly took out the axe: "Marcus, you have the ability not to move!" ”
"Holy! Charles, you're really! ”
Seeing Charles chase Marcus away, Chen Zhuo laughed behind him and said to the people nearby, "Okay, okay, let's go too." If Chen Zhuo took a look at his skills at this time, he would find that the Star Surge Technique flickered at this time, and it became a state that could be smoothed at any time.
It's not hard to find a few big trees with sturdy trunks in the Sweetwater Oasis, and it's rare to climb them. Fortunately, Marcus was not at ease with climbing trees, so he climbed up the tree in two times, and then put down the wooden ladder: "Go up one by one, I'm afraid the ladder can't hold the weight of all of you." ”
Chen Zhuo said with a slight smile: "Charles, is Marcus mocking you?" ”
"Hey, Chen! Don't stir things up! ”
"Haha!"
"We have to tie up the hammock before the sun goes down, so hurry up and help."
Although this is Chen Zhuo's first time camping in the trees, under the leadership of Marcus, it is not difficult to set up a hammock. Chen Zhuo tied the hammock next to the tree trunk, so that it was convenient to lie in the hammock. Charles directly used a thick tree trunk as a bed, and the hammock next to it was Naxi's. And Marcus is particularly artistic, hanging the tent with a live rope, with thick branches below and simply fixed, hanging directly on the trunk, the double-strand hemp rope can flexibly change the height of the tent from the trunk, Chen Zhuo not only admired: "Marcus, you still make so many fancy camping in the wild, your imagination is so rich!" ”
"Haha, Chen, this is not only fancy, but also can prevent snakes and insects on the tree, this trick I learned when I went to the rainforest before, and you can also learn this trick when you go!"
The night fell quickly, Charles couldn't wait to snore, Naxi should have been used to Charles's snoring, and soon fell asleep. But this does not mean that Chen Zhuo and Marcus can adapt, Marcus doesn't know what to do in the hanging shed, here Chen Zhuo and Bonnie are huddled in a hammock with some physical contact.
"Bonnie? Slept? ”
"Master, you won't sleep without Bonnie."
"Uh, is this a characteristic of a succubus?"
"Yes, master."
"Won't you get tired, then?"
"It's mainly the blood of the master, and Bonnie will never get tired at any time." Although Bonnie's voice was very sweet, Chen Zhuo was always panicked when she heard it.
"Bonnie, are all demons like this?"
"Not exactly, master. Most demons will get their own things from their masters, but some demons do not have this convenient requirement, and if their masters become masters and servants with them, then they will serve their masters wholeheartedly without receiving any payment. ”
"Oh? I remember my boss telling me that all demons have a price, don't the kind of demons you are talking about have no price? ”
"Well, if there's a cost, it's that they may need to absorb some of their master's power when they advance, as if it were forced."
"Oh? Be specific, such as what they are called, and where they are mostly located. ”
"Master, they are collectively called imps, but there are so many types of them that they can be said to be ubiquitous, but only warlocks can sense their existence, such as the wild flame imp we met on the way here."
"We ran into a demon on the way here?"
"Oh, master, don't be so different, it's just a little ghost, Bonnie can deal with a little ghost alone."
Chen Zhuo took a deep breath: "It seems that Si Jilao has given me too much shadow, as soon as you talk about demons, I subconsciously didn't expect that there would be such a weak demon, come and tell me about the wild flame imp we met." ”
"Does the master want to take in a new demon? As far as I know, the wild imp is naturally stealthy because it has low vitality and wanders in nature. Generally, wild imps are mainly fire and frost, and some rare ones will be lightning, waterborne, wind and other attributes, but their common problem is that their health is very low, basically Bonnie can trample one to death with two feet. But because they are naturally stealthy, they will only be active when they show their attributes, so except for warlocks and demons, other creatures can't detect it at all, and they reproduce very quickly, and newborn imps can grow up within three months, so they are like Xiaoqiang among demons. ”
"Oh, Bonnie, I just want to find out, it's not like taming this little ghost. Let's not talk about it as a demon, just looking at its attributes, I feel like I'm wasting my retinue space, after all, I don't have many retinues that I can sign now, maybe only two more at most, three at most. ”
"Frightened, master, the imps won't take up any entourage space before they advance, and they don't need anything like mana crystals."
"What? Won't take up space in your entourage? And it's 0 fees? ”
"Master, does 0 fee mean magic crystals? Yes, they are natural cannon fodder, and they will only follow their masters, until they are advanced, they can leave their masters, of course, the masters can also use 1 magic crystal to summon a group of advanced imps, probably the upper limit is 5-10. ”
"Hey! Bonnie, remember to tell me when you meet a little ghost in the future! I didn't expect the demon to have such a good thing! But what do you mean when you say that advancement is mandatory? ”
"It's just that when the little ghost absorbs enough life force, it won't need a medium to advance like other demons, they will forcibly advance, and at the same time absorb 10% of their master's life force, this is the law. There are also stronger imps, but they, like the weak imps, only absorb 10% of their master's health. ”
"Sounds good, Bonnie, you said you only met one, aren't the imps in groups?"
"At first, they would live together in groups, but they didn't know the way, and once they got apart, it would be difficult to get together again, so they were nicknamed 'lost imps'. They follow unfamiliar paths in search of their own kind, as well as warlocks who can make them 'settle'. ”
"Okay, well, Bonnie must tell me the next time she meets the imps, I really want to meet them. Anyway, why didn't this little ghost come to me today? Or was it because I was invisible, I didn't notice it? ”
"Master, you're not a warlock. They will only look for the breath of warlocks and imps, and when they encounter other demons and creatures, they will be regarded as passers-by, and if the master wants to recover them, they may need some external force, at least the imps will not take the initiative to find the master, so the master may need to take the initiative to find the imps. As long as she finds a way to keep them active, Bonnie has a way to get the imp to sign a master-servant agreement with her master. ”
"Okay Bonnie, Charles's snoring is so loud that I can't sleep if I want to."
Bonnie didn't answer anything, just hugged one of Chen Zhuo's arms and leaned over.
