Chapter 128: Wind Elixir
"What's going on?!" Kenneth dodged the boulder falling from the sky and watched as it crashed into the pool below the waterfall, causing a splash more than two meters high.
Kenneth was shocked, and when he looked up, he didn't notice anything unusual, only that the heavy rain had washed away the rocks. But now Kenneth has fallen into an extremely passive situation, raising the wand soaked by the rain in his hand, Kenneth concentrated his mental power to try to condense a first-order magic array, but only a faint floating shadow appeared on the top of the wand, the magic effect was only one-tenth of the original, and a small cluster of flames was extinguished by the rain as soon as it rose.
Kenneth lowered his hand weakly, the field was so unfavorable to him that he couldn't use his scorching vision to find Charles, so he could only sit still and wait for Charles to attack him or look for Charles' track like a headless fly.
But Kenneth was worried that he couldn't find Charles, and Charles, who was standing on top of the waterfall, was worried about how to give Kenneth a fatal blow. Charles was not a very good student, so he only obtained the qualification to learn the fourth-order magic stored in the Lutheran Tower once, and the only fourth-order magic he mastered was the fourth-order magic of the wind system "Medium Space Creation", which was useless at the moment.
The sneak attack just now was naturally done by Charles, but it only made Charles see Kenneth's terrifying speed again, and it didn't play any role. It is also Charles's bad luck that when he encounters a thick-skinned opponent like Kenneth, the arrow of the wind, which has always been proud of him, is completely useless, and he has repeatedly missed close-quarters sneak attacks, which puts Charles, who lacks powerful offensive magic, into an embarrassing situation.
Unlike his older brother, who pursued more powerful magic, Charles had a somewhat wilted personality and preferred to learn auxiliary magic in order to defeat his opponents in a more relaxed and maddening way, but when he met someone like Kenneth, Charles couldn't help but regret it.
But now that this is to no avail, Charles carefully examines the surrounding terrain and finds that there are woods on both sides under the waterfall, and there is nothing to do with it. Suddenly, Charles looked up at the overcast sky, it had been at least an hour now, but the rain had not abated at all, and even intensified, so that the visibility was now less than a thousand meters.
"This rain seems to be a bit excessive, right?" Charles wondered.
This wasn't the first time he had participated in a tryout, and it wasn't the first time he had competed against someone in the rainforest terrain, but he had never encountered such a heavy rain, and his own affinity with the water elemental was not enough to cast water magic, so it didn't do him any good, but caused some difficulty for his actions.
"Forget it, forget it, so be it." Charles took out the wind potion from the space ring, and after making up his mind, he opened the cork on the mouth of the bottle, and decisively took it, after drinking it, Charles couldn't help but stick out his tongue, this smell is the same as the smell of disinfectant water, and it is bitter, Charles hurriedly took out the mint grass in his pocket to eliminate the peculiar smell in his mouth. And just after taking the wind potion, Charles only felt that the wind elements around his body were converging towards him, as if he had become the master of the wind element at this moment.
Charles knew that he only had one chance, so he looked at Kenneth who was sitting at the bottom of the waterfall, and the tip of the wand in his hand condensed a third-order wind magic array almost instantly, and then an arrow condensed by the wind element slowly revealed its body from the magic array, and the wind element on the arrow had sunk into a dark green, and it was about twice as large as an ordinary wind arrow.
Charles's eyes widened, his right hand clenching his wand without any trembling, and after only a second of confirmation, he shot the arrow of wind suspended in front of the magic array towards Kenneth.
Without a sound, without warning, Kenneth only had time to see a little green light flicker in the dim darkness above the waterfall, and then an arrow of wind pierced his left shoulder socket, and when the pain in his shoulder reached Kenneth's nerve endings, Kenneth looked in disbelief at his left shoulder, which had dissipated but left a deep wound.
Although this arrow successfully broke Kenneth's defenses, but because of the heavy rain, Charles still missed his head after all, and the arrow originally aimed at Kenneth's head fell on his left shoulder, only hurting Kenneth's muscles and bones, but in the end it failed to give Kenneth a fatal blow, but instead provoked Kenneth's anger.
Kenneth covered the wound on his shoulder, as if a fire had been lit in his chest, and looked up at the waterfall to make sure that Charles must be there, so he ran directly below the waterfall without much thought, found the protrusion in the rock wall, and climbed upward.
Charles naturally knew that Kenneth wanted to climb up, and in the process it was undoubtedly extremely beneficial to himself. However, at this time, Charles was completely unable to communicate with the wind elementals and could not use magic to attack Kenneth, so it was obviously not wise to stay here, so he immediately left this place and burrowed into the woods on the left.
Because of the rain, the stone wall was full of wet rain, Kenneth skipped several times, and almost fell into the waterfall below, but he still climbed to the top of the waterfall without danger, as he thought, where is the figure of Charles at this time? Kenneth became more and more agitated, but he didn't take a few steps before he felt something shatter under his feet, which turned out to be the glass bottle that Charles used to hold the Tempest Elixir.
Kenneth picked up some of the pieces and sniffed them at the tip of his nose, and although the smell of the potion itself almost paralyzed Kenneth's nose, there was a smell underneath it that could not be concealed, albeit faint, but Kenneth could smell it.
"It's ...... The smell of mint grass? Kenneth gave a strange expression, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "I've finally caught your tail." ”
Fortunately, Charles had not been gone for long, and there was still some smell in the air, so Kenneth walked into the woods on the left without any hesitation, and walked forward without stopping to smell the smell in the air.

An hour later.
Charles hides in the hollow of a dead giant tree, with a helpless expression. The game has developed so far, it has changed from magic warfare to hide and seek, although he has the initiative, but it was not until the arrow just now that Kenneth was damaged, but the effect did not seem to be significant enough.
"Looks like you're going to have to catch him with a trap?" Charles took out the mint from his pocket and put it in his mouth, which was naturally not a product of the rainforest, but was brought by Charles himself. Like his older brother Barrow, Charles had a habit of munching on things while hunting, and mint was his favorite.
But to Charles's absolute surprise, this habit became a huge flaw for him at such a time. It's just that Kenneth's sense of smell is not too sensitive at this time, so he can't confirm the accuracy of Charles, and can only roughly judge that Charles is near him.
"Senior, there is no result if you go on like this, otherwise you will admit defeat?" Kenneth shouted.
Charles was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Kenneth to be so close to him, the two were only five meters apart, and Kenneth only needed to walk a few steps to find Charles.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Charles calmed down instead, and a small vial suddenly appeared in his hand, waiting with bated breath for Kenneth to approach.
Kenneth's nose moved slightly, and he suddenly smelled a slightly stronger mint smell than other places, and his eyes slowly locked on the ancient tree in front of him, and walked forward with a suspicious face. I saw that it was covered with thick moss and vines, and the branches had withered, so it should have been a dead tree, so according to Kenneth's experience, Charles might be hidden inside.
Cowering in the hollow of the tree, Charles's heart also began to stir, silently clenching the potion in his hand and waiting for Kenneth to appear in front of him.
Plop, plop, plop.
Charles' heart beat slightly.
"Boom!" But a fist suddenly pierced through the tree and appeared on the right side of Charles's head, causing Charles to scream strangely.
"Holy!"
"Find, find, you~" Kenneth's slightly terrifying voice came into the ears of Charles who was cowering in the corner, Charles gritted his teeth, opened the cork of the potion in his hand and poured the potion into Kenneth's hand.
Standing behind the tree, Kenneth only felt an itch on his hand, then a slight tingling, and then found that a bunch of vines appeared on his hand, which quickly spread from the back of his hand to his body, and in the blink of an eye, he tied himself to the ancient tree!
Charles gasped for air in fear, and Kenneth scared him a lot. However, seeing that his "rooting water" had such a powerful effect at this moment, Charles just thought about it and guessed that it must be because of the extremely high concentration of water vapor in the air at this time, and secretly said that he was lucky, and then drilled out of the ancient tree, looked at Kenneth who was trapped by the vines and couldn't move, and sighed: "I finally caught you......"
And Kenneth, who was entangled in vines and tied to the tree, looked at Charles in front of him, and also sighed: "Finally appeared, senior......"
Charles, who has always been cautious, did not dare to be careless, and took out his wand and used the second-order wind magic "Imprisoning Wind" to ensure that Kenneth had no room to resist.
"Senior, what did you just do? Why do vines suddenly grow on my hands? Kenneth didn't have much panic on his face, but asked Charles curiously.
"Ask so much what to do? A first-grade ghost like you, if we hadn't lost too much that day, how could my brother be eliminated by a rookie like you? Charles said depressedly.
"Brother?" A question mark popped up over Kenneth's head.
"It's nothing, anyway, the game is over." Charles raised his wand and used the Magical Wind Bolt to target Kenneth's head, which should still be a lethal part even if he had magical equipment.
Kenneth's body was already soaked, and he felt that his strength had drained three points, and he couldn't break free from the vines on his body after trying, so he sighed regretfully and said, "It seems that this is indeed the end of it." ”
Charles's eyes flashed fiercely, and he shot out the arrows of the wind that hovered in front of the magic array.
