Chapter 1234: The Forest of Ashes (5)
As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and this is still applicable in the ash forests where adventurers are often active. Ann pointed out that the camp site they had chosen was a place where their predecessors had planted trees.
Three huge boulders in the shape of claws together form the most basic structure, and the adventurers of the past have filled the gaps between the stones with straw and earth to form a haven of more than 20 square meters.
With boulders in the way, the cold wind at night will not directly sweep the campers, the opening above is also conducive to the smoke and dust of the campfire, and the nearby is next to the rushing river, the problem of water can also be solved, as long as you put a tent or sleeping bag, this is already a five-star hotel level place in the wild.
And the safety is much better than simply finding a dry place to camp in the wilderness, there is only one exit between the stones, and An Yizhi only needs to let Graeme go to that station, and it can be blocked tightly, without worrying that monsters will run in.
The last thing that was needed in the ash forest was the right fuel, a warm bonfire from a nearby tree branch, on which was set up the soup pot that John always wore on his body, and some soup made of dried meat and vegetables, with hard dough and biscuits, of course, was not delicious, but it was at least hot.
Of course, An Yizhi didn't plan to use his teeth and dry food to fight hard, so he drank some broth to ward off the cold, and didn't do it again. Lena and George ate happily, and it seemed that the two of them had adapted to the life of an adventurer.
By the way, the broth was not made by John, but by Lena.
The big-breasted girl may have been tortured by the torrent, and she has always been in a dizzy state from the time she got off the boat to the beginning, and she also drank some broth casually at night and shrunk into a sleeping bag and fell asleep, and the sleeping appearance was as bad as ever, rolling around like a caterpillar wrapped in a sleeping bag.
There is still this virtue in the sleeping bag with limited mobility, I really don't know what state this guy is in when he usually sleeps.
- It is estimated that the single bed will not be opened.
Lena and George soon fell asleep due to the consumption of a lot of magic and the fatigue caused by snowwalking. Anyway, the system didn't turn on the sleep and eating patterns, and Ann Yizhi became the best candidate for the vigil.
But you don't have to defend it, the haven is very safe, Ann has cast a lot of magic alarms near the camp, and the only entrance and exit to the camp is also blocked by Graeme, so you don't have to worry about monsters crawling in.
Over time, the night is nearly half-way.
After playing a small game to pass the time for a long time, An Yizhi opened his eyes.
He saw the bubbling broth on the campfire, and John's terrible sleeping position, which was even more obvious to Lena and George, who were well-behaved and .jpg good students.
It was quiet nearby, except for the sound of Chai He breaking, it was very quiet, and even Hela fell asleep against An Yizhi's neck.
This is more or less strange, it's not that Ann's fingers hurt and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't get beaten, but it's a little wrong from the analysis of the rules of the dungeon.
Usually every time there is a quest for an overnight project, whether it is a temporary quest or a multiverse quest, players will be assigned some shows.
Usually night raids, night raids, and ...... Night Raid.
An Yizhi didn't propose a quick march to the Blue Fort to rest before just to wait for the night attack, and he still wanted to take this experience.
But now halfway through the night, the time is almost one or two o'clock in the morning, and there is no movement at this time......
To be honest, this makes An Yizhi a little incomprehensible, used to being attacked by night, and suddenly there is a copy without a night attack, and he always feels that something is not right.
"Detection of biological ......"
He muttered something in a low voice, and the invisible magic fluctuations spread out, and the result was that nothing else was nearby except the four of them.
This unusual situation caused Ann to scratch her head with a slightly loud movement, which seemed to wake Hela. However, she should have fallen asleep and did not really wake up, but changed her position and continued to sleep.
Could it be that the night attack will come in the second half of the night? It's a bit too long.
Although I had been prepared for a long time, this was a long-term copy, but it really didn't make sense to wait for hours to go.
Just as Ann Yizhi was about to close his eyes and continue to play the small game provided by the system to pass the time, John just turned over and went from lying on his side to his back.
Ann pointed to find that John's face was full of pain, and it looked like he was having a nightmare, and a soft moan came out of his mouth.
At first, I thought that John remembered the tragic situation at school again, she was in a much worse situation than Lena when she was in school, and it can be said that she was bullied every day.
But soon Ann pointed and saw that in addition to the painful look on John's face, there seemed to be a black aura faintly revealing from his brows.
It's no nightmare!
Ann tried to push John, but the latter didn't react and was still asleep.
It is really difficult for this girl to be woken up once she falls asleep, so An Yizhi tried several times, but there was still no response.
Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem, even if John liked to lie in bed, he should have some reaction.
"Master? What are you wandering around in the middle of the night? ”
Ann's finger movement woke Hela up, and she muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Look at John, there's something wrong with her."
"There's something wrong, I'm afraid she won't be ....... when she falls asleep and is dragged away by the beast."
As she spoke, Hela looked at John, and then changed her words:
"It's really not right, it looks a bit like a curse."
"Cursed? We haven't encountered any monsters that can curse along the way. ”
"It's not just face-to-face that can be cursed, it's also possible to cast a curse through blood and hair, or even through a long distance through a name."
Hela said as her eyes lit up with a scarlet aura, using arcane vision to probe further.
"John is a mage, although the magic power is not as good as the master you, but it is not weak, the general long-distance curse has little effect on her and will even rebound to the caster, unless it is a curse released during face-to-face combat, it is effective, but her current appearance is a bit like the appearance of the sleeping curse......"
Hela was also a little confused about what was going on.
Curses aren't really very useful.
The higher the target's level, the lower the success rate of the curse, especially when the victim's face is not visible from a distance.
John's level is also level 40, and it is difficult to guarantee the success rate of a caster who wants to cast a long-distance curse on her without a level of seventy or eighty.
And the seventy or eighty-level bosses, what reason do they have to deal with John, an ordinary member of the Three Towers Alliance?
Hela spoke a little loudly, waking up Lena and George as well, and they saw Ann crouching beside John, who still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Stay away from John, she's not quite right."
Ann pointed to a point, and then heard Hela explain:
"It's like a curse, but it's not a curse, I don't know what the situation is, master, you try to disarm the magic first, I'll check the database."
Lena and George glanced at each other, and obediently hid to the other side of the haven with their sleeping bags, and Ann Yizhi took advantage of the situation to activate the skills on the spell war belt:
"Spell Strength: Advanced Disarming Magic!"
Since the purpose was only to remove the effect on John's body, the high-level dissolving magic was not released by diffusion, but turned into a lilac magic sphere and fell on John.
The advantage of this is that the effect of disarming magic is more powerful, and ordinary curses are instantly lifted.
However, I don't know if it's Ann Yizhi's bad luck, and the dismantling of the spell didn't take effect, and the system log says 'Spell confrontation failed'.
Either the other party's curse is too clever, or it is purely An Yizhi's luck is too bad.
The high-level dismantling magic was ineffective, and An Yizhi thought about activating the ring on his hand casually:
"Ruby Reverse Ray!"
The bright red ray negates all magical/natural effects on the target it touches, and this spell does not require spell confrontation and is instantaneous.
However, the ruby reversal ray fell on John like a mud cow into the sea, and it had no effect at all. She still had a pained look on her face and frowned, and there was no sign of sobriety.
What's going on here?
The effect of the ruby reversal ray is not discounted in any way, and even the hybrid god-like shield can be eliminated by it, so dealing with the curse should be a piece of cake.
However, in fact, the ruby reversal ray had no effect.
"Ann refers to the teacher, what the hell is this ......"
Lena asked with the courage to ask.
An Yizhi was puzzled, and when he heard this, he remembered something and asked:
"Did she come into contact with any suspicious guys before I met you? Even if it's just talking. ”
Lena and George, the two magic apprentices who were not treated well by the mages of the Three Towers Alliance, had come with John, and John was afraid to speak to strangers, so they might have some clues.
"Except for talking to the mages of the Three Towers Alliance, anyone else ......"
Lena pondered her previous memories, but George said:
"There was indeed an outsider, and Lena was reading in the carriage at the time, so she didn't see it."
"What kind of guy is it?"
George thought for a moment:
"Not like any suspicious person, as the carriage passed through a village in front of the druid's settlement, a young woman peddling home-brewed drinks used to approach the convoy, and I saw that Mr. John had bought it."
It doesn't sound like much of a noteworthy thing, but there are often local villagers selling their own snacks and drinks to adventurers to make extra money, and adventurers also appreciate this kind of local food, which is a little spice in the cruel adventure life.
"What does that woman look like? Did the other mages ever doubt her? ”
When asked this, George blushed and said a little embarrassed:
"Very, very beautiful, very attractive to a mature woman."
Although he is not very old, George also happened to be at the beginning of his love, and it is understandable that he has no resistance to his young sister.
"When she was close to the convoy, a mage used a detection spell to detect it, including the things she sold, and it was confirmed that there was no problem."
Of course, the mages of the Three Towers Alliance are not fools, and they are more cautious than Bian, and of course they will not rashly stuff food into their mouths, since they have not found any problems, that woman may not have anything to do with John's current situation?
However, for the sake of insurance, An Yizhi still asked:
"Who bought what that woman sold?"
"Uh...... It should be only Mr. John, I don't see anyone else buying it. ”
An Yizhi couldn't help but hold his forehead, this heartless coward......
