Chapter 4: Five-Star Ice Array
Gavin was amazed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before he saw the figure, the feather arrow had already broken through the air, and even the lone wolf with extremely high agility value didn't have time to react, and barely moved his body, and the feather arrow did not hit the heart, but hit the left front leg, reducing the speed of the lone wolf's survival by half.
The comer is an archer with a professional level 6 or higher, an experienced hunter!
Gavin began a swift retreat.
The archer should not have discovered himself yet, and now was the perfect time for him to leave.
Otherwise, once a contact battle occurs, he who consumes most of his mana may not be the opponent of the other party.
The direction of his retreat was east.
The wolves that had just left were in the quiet forest to the north, and the archer was to the west.
The lone wolf ran in the direction of the Silent Forest.
Hit by an arrow in the left front leg, it doesn't run fast.
The archer was very fast and quickly followed.
To Gavin's surprise, it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old human female archer. At this age, it is not easy to have such vigorous skills and rich experience, and to be a woman.
And immediately after, four more figures appeared.
They are all teenagers and girls around the age of seventeen.
It's a standard five-person adventure squad, one archer, two warriors, one mage, and one stalker.
Gavin only glanced at it, then turned and left.
This is supposed to be an adventure party from Pegasus Academy, and their class level will not be lower than level 3, which is enough to hunt ferocious wolves or demonized wolves with creature levels above level 5, or large packs of more than 30 wolves.
The lone wolf will surely die.
It's dark at night.
The Tranquil Forest is about the size of a town (including outlying villages and cultivated land), with a total area of more than 50 square kilometers, about 10 kilometers from north to south and 5 kilometers from east to west.
In the very center of the forest, there was once a high-profile cemetery, where the nobles of Pegasus City set up their cemetery and sent special personnel to guard it.
Later, there was a haunted incident there, and Pegasus City sent a large number of soldiers to suppress it, but in the end, it was not done, and it was deserted.
Gavin made a detour to the east, avoiding wolves and adventure squads and reducing his own danger.
The wind stopped, the rain slowed down, but visibility diminished as the night deepened.
Even if he enhanced his vision with spells, Gavin couldn't see twenty meters away.
Lighting a torch in the wilderness forest is a foolish act, as it exposes you to all enemies unless you are very confident in your prowess.
Gavin was nowhere near that self-confidence, but someone did.
After walking in the quiet forest for half an hour, Gavin saw a faint light of fire about two hundred meters away, and within the range of the firelight, there were figures swaying.
That's the magic lamp.
The wind and rain are fierce, the night is dark, and in the wilderness, there are still people who dare to sleep in the quiet forest, and they also light the lights to clearly expose their location, either two fools or real strong people.
The Tranquil Forest is not far from Pegasus City and is under the jurisdiction of Pegasus City.
There aren't many monsters here, and they're not strong.
Pegasus City will not allow creatures of level 10 or higher, but to survive here, the Lone Wanderer needs to have a total level of 6 or higher, while the Adventure Party must have at least an average level of 3 or higher.
Gavin remembered the adventurous party that hunted the lone wolf in the evening.
It's not far from the Quiet Forest Cemetery.
There's nothing to venture into the Silent Forest—treasures, herbs, ores, rare creatures, nothing. An adventuring team that is not weak will appear here, and it will come from the direction of Pegasus City, not in a clear day, but to travel in the storm and night, and it seems that they deliberately avoid the sight of others, then their purpose is obvious:
They are also going to enter the dark realm from the entrance of the Silent Forest Cemetery, and go deep underground to hunt the creatures of the earth!
The entrance to the dark area is not so easy to enter.
There was a small group of goblins (10-20 or so) from Brimstone who defended there, collecting tolls from passers-by.
Most of those goblins are level 1-2 goblin warriors and wanderers, and there are also 1-2 goblin squad leaders above level 3, as well as a goblin caster around level 5.
Visitors who are strong enough are eligible to pay tolls. Adventurers who are not strong enough will be robbed of all their wealth by those goblins. If those people don't have a good relationship, they might even kill you outright.
Gavin is not strong enough, and how to pass the test smoothly is a problem.
But now he saw an opportunity.
This group of adventurers from Pegasus City, who are generally very young, seem to be graduates of Pegasus Academy.
In order to graduate from Pegasus Academy, in addition to six years of study and at least 3 career levels, you also need to take a graduation exam, complete a difficult adventure, and hunt enough prey.
Students who are about to graduate, young and vigorous.
Such a group of people will probably not be willing to pay tolls. They are strong enough to give them confidence. There's a good chance they'll strike and wipe out the goblins!
If you follow them, you may be able to enter the Dark Regions without any problems!
Gavin didn't rush closer.
There was a mage in that adventure squad. No matter how many levels of mages there are, since they dare to venture into the wilderness, they must know the first-order spell "Magic Alert".
There must have been a magic alarm set up nearby.
Tier 0 "Detection Magic" can detect the existence of "Magic Alert" within a limited range, but it is also in danger of being detected.
And the opponent also has an archer of at least level 6.
The archers' perception is very keen, and the eyes have been specially trained, and if possible, they will also wash their eyes with special solutions, and their vision is excellent.
Some archers have the same eyesight as falcons, even if they have the "Eagle Eye" magic, they can't compare to them.
Gavin had to be cautious, he only had one life. Finally, the soul was resurrected, and I didn't want to die like this.
Gavin had patience.
He leaned against a large tree, curled up, and entered a meditative state, recovering his mana, which was about to be depleted.
Early in the morning, the rain stopped.
A young knight came out of the cottage in the wilderness, looked at the closed wooden door, and wondered how Uncle Elendil had brought it with him, for fear that the rain would wet his dear cousin.
But he's dead and a skeleton, and he's still afraid of getting wet?
A happy smile appeared on the knight's young face, and he laughed loudly, and the more he laughed, the more hideous he became.
He shouted viciously, "Gavin! Gavin Sullivan! Pegasus Academy's smartest 5th grader! ”
"With that poor talent, you dare to hook up with Morgana! Morgana is the most delicate flower in Pegasus City, only I can enjoy it, you poor boy from a declining family, you are not qualified at all! Morgana is mine, she's mine! ”
"And your arrogant sister! She's a stinky bitch! She killed my uncle by virtue of being the captain of the Knights of the Dawn! He's just experimenting with evil magic and killing a few low-class pariahs! ”
"You're damned!"
"It won't be long before that sister of yours dies! Her body will be humiliated in every way, her spirit will be tortured inhumanely, and she will eventually be turned into a skeleton by Uncle Elendil, just as she poured holy water on him and corroded him into a skeleton! ”
"Everyone in the Sullivan family must die!"
When he was finally done, the knight suddenly raised his foot, kicked open the wooden door, and walked in.
He saw the mess of thatch and scattered bones at a glance, but he didn't see what he wanted to see.
"What about skeletons? What about Gavin's skeleton? Where is he? Did the uncle take him away? No way! What does Uncle want a skeleton for? He's a Rank 3 Necromancer! A broken skeleton, he can't even look at it! ”
The knight's heart panicked, and he hurriedly went in to look for it.
When he rushed to the stone table, the spell trap was finally activated.
The Blood of the Fire Child ignited the thatch, and then, fueled by arcane energy, set ablaze everything in the hut that could be burned, including wooden doors, wooden beds, bookshelves, and some flammable and explosive alchemy materials.
The fire boy is a creature from the fire elemental plane, and the flame ignited by the blood of the fire boy is a combination of natural fire and elemental flame, and the stagnant water and wet combustibles on the ground cannot stop the flame from burning at all.
The young knight saw the danger and, in a panic, rushed towards the door.
However, it was too late.
The fire burned and filled the entire hut.
When he rushed out of the hut, his ornate clothes were in tatters and there was a fire burning on them. Thankfully, the elemental flames were depleted, otherwise he would have died here.
Driven by pain and threats of death, the knight rolled on the spot, mud and stagnant water extinguished the flames, but his skin was burned extensively.
Especially his face, all of which were burned, and the death energy invaded the flesh and blood on his face, unless he asked a high-level priest to take action and use high-level healing techniques to heal the wounds, he would be disfigured forever!
A handsome and charming face is ruined, this hatred is unforgettable!
The intense pain and the hatred in his heart made the knight's face turn hideous, and his eyes were full of malice.
As a reserve knight of the Flame Lancers, he can sense the breath of the undead and recognize the "Bone Fire" spell.
"Bone fire? Spell? Vanishing skeletons? It's so secluded, there's no way anyone can come here and make a spell trap against me! It has to be you, Gavin! Uncle Elendil killed you, but you became an undead! ”
The knight gritted his teeth and yelled viciously at the burning hut, "Gavin! I'm going to report to the Church of Light! You will be endlessly hunted down by the Church of Light, and your family will be smeared with collusion with the undead! The Sullivan family will be scolded by everyone, and you and your sister will be ruined! ”
