Chapter 293: The Garden of the Gods (2)
Yesterday, my daughter-in-law ran to dig out the sheep pot with her colleagues, and as a result, I took the baby by myself~~ The most frustrating thing was that she nibbled on a few mouthfuls of radish~~Radishes~~————
I want to have a big meal.
The faint smoke slowly drifted out of the huge cigarette butt in Chen Kai's hand with the light of the spark igniting the tobacco, and this pipe made of the materials of the ancient tree of life was definitely the most luxurious daily necessities on Chen Kai's body. The pale blue smoke made Chen Kai look a little decadent, but Roman knew very well the value of the pipe in Chen Kai's hand.
In fact, several nature mages almost fell to their knees when they first came into contact with Chen Kai's pipe, they had seen extravagant elves, but there had never been an elf who had cut materials from the stems of the ancient tree of life to make pipes. The most important thing is that the pipe in Chen Kai's hand is quite close to the center of the tree, although the Ancient Tree of Life of Terramis has already entered death, but because it is not a normal old death or withering, there is still a large amount of life force locked in the wood of the Ancient Tree of Life.
After being identified and transformed by these natural mages, Chen Kai's pipe became a special piece of equipment, which could be carried on his body to restore his vitality at a rate of little per minute, and most importantly, it could slowly increase the upper limit of his health when carried for a long time. Of course, the effect of the former is obvious, and the latter is not so obvious, at least Chen Kai has not increased the total amount of health even by 0.1 now. However, because of this effect, Chen Kai finally obtained a permit to carry a pipe, of course, being able to carry it does not mean that he can smoke it.
Therefore, he had to avoid Su Wan to smoke, and the reason why Chen Kai used the ancient way of smoking a pipe was not only because the pipe in his hand was made by himself, which was of commemorative significance, but also because this pipe was made by the head of the ancient tree of life, which was of great value. But the most important thing is that this way of smoking is very stylish, although it may be more stylish with a cigar in your mouth, but unfortunately the nouveau riche temperament is too strong. As a temple professional, Chen Kai felt that he couldn't hold a cigar so undisciplinedly, and the most important thing was that the cigar smoke in the game was also quite expensive, and it also belonged to the ranks of luxury goods. Even when Chen Kai owned the territory, Chen Kai and the others got a total of a dozen, that is, twelve cigars, but they paid a magic gem worth hundreds of Mithril coins. Such an expensive luxury made Chen Kai basically not want to try it a second time, and the dozen cigars were still lying in Xu Fei's backpack.
Of course, as for why it is not in Chen Kai's backpack, but in Xu Fei's backpack. Because these cigars can be sold so expensive, it is entirely because they are magical products. This kind of cigar, which can increase the speed of magic recovery by 10% for a certain period of time, and has a certain mental boosting effect, is definitely not something that ordinary poor mages can consume. Even a rich archmage can only sigh in his heart, only a truly rich and powerful high mage can enjoy this kind of thing every day to improve his spell level. However, Chen Kai estimated that there were basically not many mages who would meditate with cigars in their mouths every day, and this kind of thing was estimated to be used on a large scale only by spellcasters in the army during wartime.
Chen Kai, who was holding a pipe, naturally couldn't take expensive tobacco leaves that could increase his magic power, but the tobacco leaves he used could at least refresh his mind and keep him from falling asleep. In fact, Chen Kai's current alert level is not particularly high, after all, this place is still the edge of the Denzel Forest, and the influence of hundreds of years of demonic power is not so easy to fade. The most important thing is that not long ago, a team of ancient mages cleared this place, and of course, a large number of demon elf troops came here for a day trip.
So for a short time this place is actually a monster vacuum, and of course it can't be said exactly. After all, what was cleaned up by the demon elves were monsters that could be used as food, and what was cleaned up by the ancient mages was the monsters that were left after being cleaned up by the demon elves and had a certain danger and could be used to become undead. Therefore, the creatures that can survive are either very powerful, and those demon elves and ancient mages are unwilling or too lazy to provoke. Or they are particularly alarmed by the weak creatures who have a strong ability to save their lives.
For Chen Kai and the others, what they hoped to encounter was a weak creature, because such a thing was not threatening, and if they encountered Cun Zài, who even those demon elves and ancient mages in front of them were unwilling to provoke, then there was basically no other choice but to turn around and flee. The most important thing is that they must be able to escape, and Chen Kai seems to be a little lacking in this. Although they are not short-legged, the problem is that the movement speed of the group is really not high. After all, there are short-legged species such as black dwarves in the team, and Chen Kai is wearing armor and their movement speed is enough, so once they encounter fast monsters, they probably can't run, and even they can't outrun these winter wolves around them.
While Chen Kai was smoking his pipe. Romans sharpened his long sword with a whetstone brush, of course, the winter wolves were very dissatisfied with such noise. But they finally muttered a few times and continued to sleep with the bones in their arms, while Romans continued to sharpen his sword. In the sound of Chen Kai smacking his pipe, the sound of gently grinding his sword was not very obvious. Even the rustling of snow in the snow was a little heavier than that.
Although the snow has become lighter since Chen Kai and the others left the Denzel Forest, and even the snow has become much lighter, the dark clouds in the sky still have not dissipated and still seem to spread from the Denzel Forest to the outside. Chen Kai even suspected that such snow might even spread to other places outside the Denzel Forest, when in fact it was snowing even on the borders of the Elven Empire right now. Of course, when you go out, the snowflakes turn into light rain. But this kind of weather was a strange thing for the Elven Empire, and they even wondered if it was the ancient mages who did it. Although this speculation is fundamentally correct, it would not have been possible to cause such a large amount of snow without the cold environment in the Denzel Forest at this moment.
But for the people who have winter wolf skins, let alone sleeping in tents. Even if you sleep in the field, you won't feel cold. After all, the winter wolves can be exposed to the air in the cold wind of tens of degrees below zero with this fur, and such a strong ability to resist the cold allows Chen Kai to basically ignore the surrounding snowflakes, and the main purpose of the bonfire is actually to light and heat is only a secondary effect. Of course, even more important is the piece of venison leaning on the campfire, which of course is not placed on top of the campfire, but is stuffed under the campfire. There is no doubt that this is the supper that Chen Kai asked for from Su Wan, and it must not be discovered by the surrounding winter wolves.
So he couldn't pull it out from under the campfire for a short time, and the most important thing was that the venison didn't seem to be cooked yet, at least not for a few minutes. After all, according to Su Wan, this piece of venison is too big, and it needs to be roasted under the campfire for at least half an hour. And it's also when the bonfire is relatively strong.
A stone at least three palms in size was being forged under the red flames, and of course the so-called stone was actually venison wrapped in mud. Of course, the mud had now been dried and turned into a hard crust like a stone, and the venison inside was not yet fully cooked. If the campfire hadn't burned away the smell, maybe the winter wolves would have been able to smell venison. At that time, this piece of venison will not have Chen Kai's share, let alone Romans.
Looking overhead, where he couldn't see the clouds, Chen Kai slowly threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire, and then covered the hood that had been blown away by the wind again. Although he was wearing armor lined with wolf skin, his face was still cold when the cold wind blew.
When Chen Kai was slowly holding the pipe, his ears suddenly heard some movement, and at this time, Romans also directly stopped sharpening the sword in his hand. Although neither Chen Kai nor he stood up, their bodies had already begun to enter a state of alertness, and the ears of the winter wolves around them who had begun to droop instantly stood up and began to rotate continuously.
Chen Kai slowly turned the lit pipe upside down and poured out the tobacco leaves inside. And the other hand directly grasped the giant sword beside him. But just as he was about to draw his weapon, the sound that caught his and Romans' attention and caused the winter wolf to prick up his ears fell from the treetops with a click. Yes! Falling down, looking at the extremely small squirrel in front of him, Chen Kai and Romans' faces were a little unbearable, there is no doubt that if it weren't for the aura emitted by the two of them, this trembling squirrel would definitely not fall from the treetops.
Seeing that this squirrel Chen Kai slowly let go of the hand holding the giant sword, Romans also breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, the two of them simultaneously took out the weapons in their hands and beckoned to the squirrels on the ground, and the huge momentum directly woke up the surrounding winter wolves. The reason why Chen Kai and Roman shot at the same time is very simple, that is, the squirrel's paws are blue, and the noses of the two also smell a sweet smell. At the moment of smelling that smell, Chen Kai felt dizzy, fortunately his will was strong enough and his body was not completely relaxed, otherwise it would have been really bad.
Chen Kai's giant sword and Romans' long sword hit the squirrel's location almost at the same time, and the sound of the two weapons colliding with each other directly caused the surrounding winter wolves to whimper. But what worried Chen Kai and Roman was that the squirrel jumped up directly. Escaped from the attack of the two.
"I knew this guy wasn't ordinary!" Chen Kai glanced at his weapon with the same heartache as Romans, and only after making sure that the weapon was not damaged did he turn his gaze at the squirrel. It was only at this time that they realized that they were not wrong to make a move, because a squirrel winter wolf who was about to bite the squirrel behind Chen Kai and them was directly killed by this squirrel.
The tiny-looking claws were directly inserted into the winter wolf's head under Chen Kai's dull gaze, and the thick skull couldn't stop the squirrel's claws at all. Look at the terrible claws of the squirrel. Roman and Chen Kai subconsciously looked at the armor on their bodies, because they didn't think that their armor had the hard skull of a winter wolf. Fortunately, this squirrel left directly after killing the winter wolf, looking at the hole in the winter wolf's skull, Chen Kai and Romans' faces were very ugly.
At this time, all the elves and players had heard the movement and ran out, but all they saw was the corpse of the winter wolf surrounded by other winter wolves. and the pale-faced Chen Kai and Romans. As for the murderer, he didn't know where he had already gone, and even Romans, an elven powerhouse at the level of the Holy Domain, had not been able to leave the squirrel that looked extremely weak.
"What's wrong?" Fei Yun squeezed through the back of the crowd, he hadn't seen the dead winter wolf yet. So I don't know what's going on. But when he saw the winter wolf, he immediately understood that there was no doubt that they had been attacked, and the attacker was still surrounded by many winter wolves, and under the nose of Romans, a powerhouse in the holy realm, he killed the winter wolf in the center, and took out the opponent's magic crystal and fled.
"What did you do?" Xu Fei grabbed the staff, and the purple arcane power was constantly surrounding, ready to trigger the attack target at any time, this was a warning method, because no one knew if the enemy would come again.
"A squirrel!" Chen Kai and Roman said through gritted teeth almost at the same time. Romans, in particular, was insulted. There is no doubt that as a member of the Sacred Realm powerhouse who was killed by the enemy right under his nose, even if this member was a not very friendly winter wolf, it was a humiliation to Romans, and the most important thing was that the guy who humiliated him was a squirrel with a body length of no more than thirty centimeters.
"What? Squirrel! Boss, are you right? Fei Yun couldn't believe it, but looking at Chen Kai's gnashing teeth, he couldn't help but believe it. It's just that Fei Yun couldn't figure out that a squirrel could kill a winter wolf under the noses of Romans and Chen Kai, and the most important thing was that this winter wolf was not a winter wolf on the periphery, but a winter wolf in the core area.
"Fourth! Check the corpse of the winter wolf and see if you can catch anything! That squirrel is terrible, the head of this winter wolf is like tofu under its claws! … Damn it! What a terrible toxin!! As soon as Xu Fei finished speaking, he saw that the body of the dead winter wolf was flattened like a shriveled balloon, and a large amount of blood seeped out of the wound in the frightened eyes of the surrounding winter wolves, and the black blood slowly melted into the ground, making the whole ground look as if it had turned into black soil. But everyone, even the winter wolves, left directly from the black soil, because this poison was so terrifying.
"Go offline and search for information about this squirrel! Damn it. Fortunately, Lao Tzu is vigilant enough, otherwise he will definitely follow its way! Chen Kai looked at the corpse of the winter wolf with a burst of fear, except for a relatively complete but useless winter wolf skin, all of which melted in the body of the winter wolf.
"Okay!" Fei Yun looked at the photo passed by Chen Kai, the squirrel on it looked unusually cute, and if it appeared in the pet store, it would definitely attract the attention of many girls. But the problem is that this squirrel is so scary, just think about the other party's abilities. In a holy realm-level elf powerhouse, killing a winter wolf with extremely strong defense ability under his nose is most importantly, the toxin he carries can directly turn the winter wolf's bones into blood along with flesh and blood. Of course, if Fei Yun knew how terrifying this squirrel's movement speed was, he would probably feel even more frightened in his heart. Because the attacks of Chen Kai and Romans were definitely extremely fast.
Not to mention how much time it took for Chen Kai's giant sword to fall from the time it was raised, the attack speed of Romans, a holy realm elf, was definitely more than twice as fast as Chen Kai's, but his attack that fell like thunder was like a failure. The attacks of the two landed in the same place almost one after the other. But they couldn't touch a single hair of the squirrel, and by the time they came to their senses, the squirrel had already pulled out the Winter Wolf's magic crystal with one paw and disappeared. This movement speed was the ultimate reason why Chen Kai and Romans turned pale, as they found that even when they were on full alert, they might not be able to detect the squirrel's attack.
Fortunately, they did not touch the squirrel until dawn the next day, and the shadow over everyone's heads dissipated a little. But everyone's fear of the forest has become even stronger. And those winter wolves are also a little scared at the moment.
"It's a good thing these winter wolves haven't left us!" Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the winter wolves who were eating, the food they had accumulated could make these winter wolves feast for at least seven or eight days. If some animals are caught on the way, then there is no doubt that the winter wolf's food will not be a problem, at least not for a short time. It's just that while the food is not a problem. But there is no doubt that the morale of these winter wolves is a little low, after all, one of their companions was killed without warning, and the corpse turned into blood, such a blow is a bit heavy even for ordinary wild wolves, let alone winter wolves with a high IQ.
Now these winter wolves are constantly pricking up their ears during the day. The two green wolf eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and their noses smelled the air at any time. As long as there is any trouble, they will quickly attack, and the effect is really good, because Chen Kai and they saw an ordinary squirrel being turned into an ice brick by them directly with an ice arrow.
Looking at the frozen lump of hard blue ice, Chen Kai felt that these winter wolves might become squirrel killers, but unfortunately they were only able to kill ordinary squirrels. If you encounter the squirrel you used to have, then it is impossible for these ice arrows to hit the opponent, and you won't even be able to touch a single hair of the opponent. Because with that squirrel's movement speed, even if the ice arrow is released in front of the opponent, it will be able to escape before the ice arrow hits itself, even if the distance between the two sides is only five meters. At the same time, Chen Kai's search for this squirrel on the Internet also failed, because there is no information about this squirrel in all known species guides, and the most important thing is that Chen Kai and they did not attack the other party, so they could not see the name of the other party through the guò system, so naturally they could not know the name of the system.
