Chapter 117: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Kenneth felt a slight pain in his shoulder, and knew that his tracks had been exposed, so he no longer stayed and ran into the dense forest to hide his figure.
The forest is silent again.
After a long time, the heads of two boys poked out of the bushes, wearing hoods, and one of them had a gloomy face, the corners of his mouth were always habitually pulled down, and a fine grass was in his mouth; The other was taller, but his eyes were small, as if two magpie beans were embedded in his face, and he looked very happy.
The two are a pair of well-known brothers in the academy, the elder brother is named Barrow Wood, known as "Sinister Barrow", and the younger brother is named Charles Wood, known as "Honest Charles". Both of them are now fourth-grade students, although they are not very good at studying, but they always perform well in practical assessments, and a very important reason is that these brothers, who are very different in appearance and personality, have a tacit understanding that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
And now, after a successful rendezvous, the two began their hunt.
As fourth-year students, both of them were already fourth-order magicians and had a lot of experience in actual combat. What made the two even more overjoyed was that they were not only assigned to the same practice range, but also chose the forest terrain. This is like a fish in water for the two people who have followed their father to hunt in the forest since they were children, so in just one day's work, more than 80 people have been eliminated by them together, and now, it seems that there is one more.
Barrow chewed on the cream grass in his mouth, and a sweet smell spread faintly in his mouth. Barrow's appearance is not too outstanding, because he always pouts unconsciously, so the corners of his mouth are a little drooping, and he is always sleep-deprived and has dark circles under his eyes, which makes him look more cold, and later he was given a nickname like "insidious Barrow" by others, which really makes Barrow bitter and unspeakable, obviously Charles, who looks honest and honest on the outside, is it good to have a bad stomach?
"Brother, that kid seems to have fled to the west." Charles, who is tall, walks up to Barrow and judges Kenneth's whereabouts.
"Well, keep chasing. That little imp must have been injured by an arrow I shot and couldn't run far. Pay attention to the exertion of mental and physical strength. Barrow spat out the dregs from his mouth, and took out another straw from his side pocket and put it in his mouth, which was also the habit of his father when he used to hunt, but unfortunately it was not as refreshing as mint.
"Yes." Charles nodded cautiously, as a good hunter, he would never let his guard down because of the weakness of his prey, but would become more cautious because of this, so as not to waste too much energy on this kind of prey.
So the two separated again, using the second-order magic "protective color" of the wind system to merge their bodies with the surrounding scenery, which could not be easily seen through without careful observation, and then kept a distance of more than twenty meters to pursue Kenneth west.
Half an hour later, the two stopped in the woods by a stream and hid behind a tree to take out their wands, for Kenneth was sitting on a rock by the stream, seemingly tending to a wound on his shoulder.
A second-order wind system magic array appeared on the top of the wand in Barrow's hand, and a layer of green light immediately appeared in his eyes, and when he looked at the trunk behind him, he actually saw Kenneth sitting by the stream through the trunk itself!
This is a second-order wind magic called "Perspective", which can help the mage blur the occlusion in his field of vision for two minutes, so as to achieve the effect of perspective.
Since it is only a simulated forest environment, it is still only a confined space, so naturally there is no need to consider the influence of wind speed. So after Barrow finished grasping the distance, a third-order magic array of the wind system appeared on his wand in his hand, and the arrow of the wind, which had been practiced tens of thousands of times, shot at Kenneth again. Being in the driving range, he would be teleported out as soon as he was judged to be in danger of his life, so Barrow mercilessly aimed at Kenneth's head.
The arrows were condensed from the wind elemental, and they were incredibly fast and silent, making it almost impossible for anyone to dodge.
Kenneth didn't dodge, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't have dodged when he saw the arrow. So he just avoided the point and let the arrow hit his left shoulder.
But to Barrow's shock, as the Wind Arrow returned into the Wind Elemental, there was no blood coming out of Kenneth's shoulder, and what was worse was that the arrow had exposed Barrow's location, and Barrow forgot to move his position because of surprise.
"Got you." Just as Barrow was still trying to confirm Kenneth's injury, Kenneth was nowhere to be found in his field of vision, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded behind him.
Barrow was horrified, and without thinking much about the green light on the top of the wand in his hand, he used the magic primary space to move, and disappeared directly in front of Kenneth, appearing behind a spruce more than ten meters away, and just about three meters away, hiding his younger brother Charles.
Because of the shock, Barrow's breathing was a little short, but fortunately, there was a sound of water nearby to cover up a thing or two, if it had been the quiet woods just now, I am afraid that Barrow's location would have been exposed.
"Damn, did that guy use some magic? Why can't the arrows of the wind hurt him? Also, that kind of speed is at least the speed that can only be achieved with 'wind wings', right? At this point, Barrow's mind was full of doubts, just because Kenneth was too out of bounds.
And just after Barrow disappeared in front of Kenneth, Kenneth didn't show a look of surprise on his face, after all, from the previous short confrontation, he could feel that this person who attacked him was by no means an idle person, and it would be strange for Kenneth to let Kenneth easily succeed like this. So Kenneth unhurriedly raised his wand in his hand, and a second-order magic circle appeared at the top, which was the magic explosion trap he used in the group final of the football match.
It turned out that Kenneth was relieved after discovering that the arrow of the wind could only inflict minor injuries on himself, and in turn prepared to ambush the people who attacked him with the concept of "revenge is not a hero", and the choice of this creek as an ambush site was naturally intentional, because there must have been many students who gathered here to rest for a while.
And in the next moment, the dozens of explosion traps that Kenneth had set up before all took effect, and a burst of explosions sounded by the stream, alarming all the nearby students, just as there was a fierce battle here, so they began to move closer here to see if they could take advantage of the chaos.
Kenneth, who had done all this, immediately climbed to the top of the tall spruce in front of him, about thirty meters above the ground, and then held his breath and prepared to watch the show.
It's just that Kenneth obviously thinks things a little simpler, you must know that these are all top students of Luther's School of Magic, how can they easily expose their whereabouts, so although many people follow the sound, they also use terrain or magic to hide themselves, each more cautious than the other.
There was a second-year student who was clever and used the deceptive space to deliberately expose his body, and he wanted to lure others to take the bait, but he didn't expect to be bombarded by no less than ten kinds of magic, and he was directly teleported out of this space. And after witnessing his fate, no one wants to be a birdie.
Just when Kenneth was disappointed that this was the end of the night, an arrow of wind suddenly sliced through the darkness and flew into the trees, followed by a girl's scream, and then a flash of green light, symbolizing her out.
Kenneth's eyes flashed, and he immediately locked on to the attacker's location. However, just as he slowly slid down the tree, a dark shadow rushed to the spruce tree before Kenneth, but fell into the trap of the Wood brothers, only to see the two suddenly show their bodies behind the other two cedar trees, so a green light flashed, and another person was out, and the two brothers immediately used the primary space to move and disappear in place.
"This archery technique is really not covered, are they really aimed with the naked eye?" Kenneth watched the incomparably smooth movements of the two of them, and exclaimed in his heart, so he chose to continue to watch, clinging to the trunk of the tree to hide his figure.
The Wood brothers seemed to have a good heart, and after using the primary space to move too far away, Barrow leaned his back against the tree and asked in a soft voice, "How many more are there?" ”
At this time, Richard's peas-eyed eyes were slightly glowing green, which looked particularly weird, and in his field of vision, the forest in front of him had turned black and white, the trees were all white, and black figures were shaking in them, and there was a black figure in the sky, which was Kenneth's figure.
This is a third-order wind magic called "Creature Vision", which can filter inanimate objects and confirm the location of living beings for one minute.
The vision of the living is also a very valuable existence in the third order of magic, but it is included in the Lutheran Tower, which can be studied by students who are eligible to enter the Lutheran Tower to select magic, and Richard was very lucky to find this magic in the Lutheran Tower in the third year and successfully learned it.
And that's when the magic came into play.
Charles swept over the scene in front of him and replied softly: "There are twelve people in total, and one of them is the little ghost just now, who is on the tree about fifteen meters in front of us on the left. ”
"That guy is not simple, let him go first, and clean up the others." With that, Barrow had already shrunk up and walked to the right, using perspective to lock on to his next prey.
"Okay." With a big smile on his face, Charles moved to the left with his waist bent, immediately determined his target, and then shot an arrow after only a little measurement, and escaped into the darkness without looking at the result.
Behind him, the arrow of the wind struck the unconscious, prostrate student in the back, and just as the arrow was about to pierce his chest from the back, the student was suddenly enveloped in a layer of green light and disappeared in place.
Ten minutes later, only one person was able to sense the danger and walked away, and the other ten were all eliminated, leaving only Kenneth and the Wood brothers.
