Chapter 3: The Lonely Forest and the Beginning (2)

Chen Kai and the others collected all the fragments of corpses they could find, and they even found a broken staff in the grass not far from the pool of blood. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of the wand on the staff, which represents the head of the Great Mentor-level magic crystal staff, has been completely shattered and disappeared, and the entire staff is covered with various scars. Looking at the broken staff, Chen Kai no longer had any doubts in their hearts about whether the Great Master had died, especially after finding a broken spatial ring on the ground.

A staff is extremely valuable to any mage, and the player mage is not as important to the staff as the aboriginal mage is to this. Because many players only regard the staff as a necessary weapon for mages, rather than as an arm to survive, in fact, some high-level mage staff are tools that have accompanied them for decades or even hundreds of years, and if it were not for the destruction of Yan zhòng, no aboriginal mage would replace his staff. Even if they find a better staff, they sometimes won't change it, in fact, mages prefer to incorporate the high-level magic materials they find into their staffs, so that the quality and power of the staff itself will be improved.

One of the most famous scepters in history, the Otogar Juggernaut Scepter, was originally just a staff made of ordinary wood. However, when its owner, Ottogar, became a legendary ** master, it took most of his life to collect materials that were integrated into the staff, replacing the original wood essence of the staff, and finally making the staff an extremely powerful weapon. That staff is also considered to be the only weapon created by a mortal that surpasses a hallows weapon, and most importantly it is not considered a holy weapon, and all mages will just say that it is a staff and nothing more.

Because the mages believed that the holy weapon was created by the gods, but although the mage who made the staff had the ability to ignite the divine fire, he never took that step in his life, even if it was death, he felt that his life was very wonderful and complete, so he did not want to become an immortal being, but chose to bury his body in the eternal astral boundary. Because Outogar did not want to become a god, the mages respected his wish not to name his weapons after holy weapons, and this was supported by the mage god Antos, who was the mentor of the mage god. It's just that a legendary ** master who doesn't want to become a god has a student who becomes a god of mages, which seems ironic in the records of ancient mages, but it really exists.

Every aboriginal mage hopes that the staff that accompanies him can become the scepter of the Lord of Altoga, but in fact, only a few ** masters have completed this feat except for Altoga. It's just that none of the mages are willing to give up their staffs, and when they die, few people are willing to inherit their staffs except for their most descendants. Therefore, in addition to the life crystal balls of mages who have died for generations, there is also a staff with a handle that represents the traces of their lives. These staffs have become the most precious treasures of every Wizarding Guild, and they are firmly stored in the most secret places, known only to the leaders of each generation of Mage Guilds. In the event of a fierce war in the area where the Mage Guild is located, these staves will be unsealed to defend the Mage Guild as their last contribution. The most famous is the battle of hundreds of thousands of demon armies besieging the demon gate in history, that time because the guard power of the demon gate was mobilized to another place to exterminate the demons, but the demons took the opportunity to launch an attack on the last pass of the demon gate. Unleash the thirteen forbidden spells sealed inside, and it is estimated that the Demon Gate is now the most powerful fortress of the human race. So no mage would leave his staff as the other half of his life, unless he was about to die or had already died.

Looking at the broken appearance of the staff, Chen Kai and the others knew that basically the owner of the staff was more than lucky. However, after finding out the location of the mage's death, there was only one question in front of Chen Kai and them, that is, who killed the mage, or why he died in this deserted forest. In fact, this problem is actually very easy to solve, so Chen Kai and they found a lot of messy footprints at the scene, which were definitely not human footprints but beasts. So it wasn't a human being to kill this mage, but it was these footprints that made Chen Kai feel strange.

"Boss! You see, it's from hoofed animals, it's from theropods, and this one is supposed to be from reptiles! Fei Yun slowly spread out the plaster mold of the few footprints he had collected, and then Chen Kai and their heads began to have a headache. Although they already knew that killing the mage was a beast, the traces left on the scene made them feel that this judgment was a little unreliable. If there was only one kind of animal's footprints, Chen Kai and the others would at most judge that the other party had been attacked by some kind of beast, but there were several footprints left now, so it could not be that one animal had feet of different shapes.

"This unlucky mage is probably in the midst of a beast tide! And the reason why we didn't encounter high-level magical beasts in the forest is probably because of the beast tide! In the end, Chen Kai found a conclusion that they thought was the most reliable, and Chen Kai felt very much about the beast tide, and the endless scene of the beast running wild was a memory that he could never forget. In the northern primeval forest of Zela Fortress, he had experienced a beast tide, but that time it was a small beast tide caused by the predation of the swamp king, but even a small beast tide still made Chen Kai terrified.

"I guess it's not just the beast tide, if it's just the beast tide, he can't escape with the teleportation equipment! The only thing that can interfere with the operation of the teleportation spell is a large-scale energy fluctuation, and the only thing that can cause such a fluctuation is the legendary super-large beast tide that even the ninth-order and above demonic beasts participate! Xu Fei thought of a new conclusion, but this conclusion made everyone feel both pervasive and frightened. The reason is that they don't have a complete concept of the super-large beast tide in their minds, and the fear is that the legendary super-large beast tide in the game's history has destroyed several countries, including the minting country of the priceless copper coin in Chen Kai's backpack, and the last one to commemorate the Edaq empire that disappeared when it was destroyed. It is said that in addition to the catastrophe at the end of the era, another important reason for the disappearance of that empire was the huge beast tide that attacked the national capital, and there were more than 100 demonic beasts above the tenth order in the historical records who joined that attack, and even three legendary-level demonic beasts participated in that beast tide. Although Edak was known as an empire at that time, it lacked the protection of powerful legendary powerhouses, and eventually the kingdom was destroyed by a terrifying beast tide and left in ruins.

"It seems that this mage's luck is really scum!" Whether it was a super-large beast tide or not, Chen Kai and the others could only look at the corpse of the mage buried in the grave with sympathetic eyes, and they really couldn't think of any other adjective to describe what happened to the other party except to blame their own bad luck when they encountered this kind of thing.

"Let's go! Let's look again, this mage can't come to the forest alone, I hope to find any other valuable clues! Chen Kai shook his hand and returned the mage emblem in his hand to Xu Fei, and then said softly to Fei Yun, who held his mouth when he heard Chen Kai's words, because he knew that this kind of search for clues could only fall on him.

"What a natural toil!" Fei Yun's depressed voice slowly sounded in the team channel, but then again, except for him who had some knowledge of scouts, the others basically didn't have much ability to find clues. This is not only because of the profession, but more importantly because of the different focus of learning things during the game.

"That's it! Hurry up and find it, it's up to you whether you can get out of this forest! Zhao Tiezhu lightly kicked Fei Yun's ass, and he himself followed the other party's back and slowly walked towards the forest that might leave clues, in fact, when they knew that the mage might have died in the beast tide, everyone dispelled the idea of acting alone. Although even if they are tied together, they may not be able to survive the beast tide, but at least they can take care of each other, and they can be informed in advance when they encounter the beast tide. It's just that everyone knows that this kind of notification is just a chance to give them a chance to meet death, and no one can hide from the terrifying beast tide. Although Chen Kai and the others thought about retreating to the depths of the forest, once the beast tide was over, the demonic beasts returned to the forest, Chen Kai and the others would not be able to escape death. Yu Qi stayed in the forest and waited for death, it was better to find a clue to go out and run outside the forest, at least there was a glimmer of life.

"That's it! Be careful, don't follow me too closely, I can use the shadow to escape, you can't do anything! Fei Yun patted his buttocks as he spoke, slowly walking into the shadows, seeing the other party's movements, Zhao Tiezhu slowly covered the helmet, and then buckled his tower shield on the special buckle on his arm. Not only Zhao Tiezhu, but others also slowly put their weapons and equipment on their bodies, because no one knew if they would encounter any danger next. It is better to prepare in advance for the equipment of weapons in a dangerous situation.

In the dense forest, you can still see the traces of a large number of fierce beasts trampling, but this trace is not particularly obvious. In fact, Chen Kai and the others knew that the beast tide had definitely passed by for more than several hours, and even several days had passed. The reason why the pool of blood did not dry up completely is basically because the blood in the body of high-level powerhouses contains a certain amount of energy, which prevents the blood from drying up, so sometimes it is a bit unreliable to rely on Cheng Dù of blood drying up to judge the time when the blood is stored in the air.

However, judging from the clues found so far, the time that the beast tide has passed should not be very long, probably within a day or two. Because the traces on the ground had been covered by the new young grass buds, and Chen Kai felt that the area they passed through now should be the area where the beast tide broke out first, because there was no large area of forest around it being destroyed by the wild beasts. These messages once again proved that the mage was completely unlucky, and he died at the hands of the monster at the beginning of the outbreak of the beast tide. You must know that the early stage of the outbreak of the beast tide is the easiest stage to dodge and escape, unless you encounter a high-level magical beast, as long as you are a mentor-level mage, you can escape. It's a pity that the unlucky mage is obviously spurned by the goddess of luck, and it is estimated that he not only encountered the early beast tide head-on, but also encountered the high-level demonic beasts mixed in the early beast tide, so he hung up before he even had time to escape.

Chen Kai: The reason why they still have to look for clues is because they know that a mage of this level will definitely not go out alone, as long as the level does not reach the ** division-level mage, they will take a group of followers or adventures with familiar warrior companions. Chen Kai and the others did not find any fragments of weapons and armor around the pool of blood, apparently the unlucky mage's companion did not stay to help the other party, or the mage died before he could help the other party. For Chen Kai, finding these followers, even if they find their corpses, can help them get out of this forest, because these people will definitely carry a map of the forest on them.

Originally, Chen Kai and the others hoped that they could find the map in that mage's spatial ring, but it was obvious that the mage who was spurned by Lady Luck was an extreme type of person, and he even destroyed the spatial ring himself and didn't want others to get it. Therefore, Chen Kai and the others could only hope that those followers had maps on them, otherwise the group could only continue to bump into the east of the forest.

After half an hour in the forest, Chen Kai and the others found a clue, of course, it was not Fei Yun who found the clue, but Downey who was thrown out by Chen Kai to prevent the wind. His keen sense of smell allowed the little dragon to spot the smell of blood in the grass faster than Fei Yun, even if it had been a long, long time. Under Fei Yun's tangled and depressed gaze, the little guy found a dark brown bloodstain from a dark and damp bush. The most important thing is that they found some fragments of armor around this dried bloodstain, and after comparing the format and shape of most of the armor, Chen Kai and they estimated that the fragments of these armor should be shoulder armor or back armor. So the wounded man must have been attacked from behind, and he broke through his shoulder or back armor and fell to the ground.

After falling to the ground, this unlucky guy was not completely dead, so on the ground of the bushes, you can still see the traces left by him when he crawled and escaped, and finally crawled for more than ten meters and he was completely killed, which made the ground have a second blood stain. It's just that what makes Chen Kai and them feel weird is that the second piece of blood is even less than the first, this feeling makes them all think that the unlucky guy escaped, but in the end they found a dry corpse and let Chen Kai and them understand that the guy did not escape.

"Vampire! This hapless guy was actually targeted by a vampire beast! Looking at the withered corpse in front of him, Chen Kai gently patted the little guy who had made a meritorious service. If it weren't for its sharp nose, Chen Kai and the others wouldn't have known that there would be a dried corpse hidden in the tree hole next to them. Obviously, this unlucky guy encountered a vampire beast that liked to eat alone, and it was simply unfortunate to encounter such an unfortunate thing in the midst of a huge beast tide. Because it can be said that he has basically escaped from the affected territory of the beast tide, if it weren't for this, he would definitely not even have a whole corpse, but this unlucky guy ran into an extremely rare vampire beast after escaping. This kind of monster that lives on the blood of creatures is even more terrifying than vampires, at least vampires can only be considered dark creatures, and they don't like to suck people dry completely, because these dark creatures are used to living gracefully. In fact, in ancient times, the bloodline formed by vampires was still an evil race, but now it is completely classified as a dark creature.

Vampires, on the other hand, are an anomaly, sucking the blood and even bodily marrow of their target until they turn them into a dry corpse without any moisture. Therefore, vampires are a more terrifying life than vampires, and in the eyes of many aborigines, they should be called vampires. Chen Kai: They hadn't seen a vampire, but they had seen the picture on the creature book, which was about the same skin as a ghoul. Miserable white skin without a trace of hair, only a mouth and a pair of black eyes on the head, thick limbs whirring but absolutely not cute, but make people want to vomit. But this creature is the most terrifying killer of all, and its sheer strength and agility allow them to catch their prey on a rare miss. As for how much power there is, Chen Kai looked at the armor on the corpse and understood, two clear paw prints were directly stepped on the chest of the armor, and this was the embodiment of the terrifying power of the vampire beast.

"Hopefully we won't run into that guy!" This is the biggest thought and desire in everyone's hearts, even Gris doesn't want to be sucked dry by such a terrifying creature. However, the vampire beast did a good thing, at least it kept a complete corpse, and the corpse had the map that Chen Kai needed most.

"Isn't it! It's here?! When Chen Kai opened the map, he was stunned for a moment, because the city marked on the map as the closest to them was very familiar to Chen Kai. This kind of familiarity is because the area that Chen Kai and they first entered during the internal test was this city, the Adriatic Town in the Duchy of Anclo in the west, or Adriatic City......
