"Bad luck! Where is this? Jones crouched on a large rock and kept looking, obviously the surroundings were very unfamiliar, and it could be said that they had not been to a place before. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that they are definitely no longer within the range of Adog, because the trees around them have a green life, not the withered trees around Adog.
"The spell pointer is not useful, there should be metal or minerals with strong ** magic around here!" Another thief took out the spell pointer and looked at it, but found that the pointer was trembling and couldn't tell the direction at all.
"I think this place looks familiar!" Carson said, looking at his surroundings.
"You've been here?"
"I don't remember! But it feels a little familiar, as if I've been here! Carson was a little stunned by the many people's questions, he really didn't remember when he came here, but looking at the surrounding environment, it was very familiar, and he just couldn't remember when he came.
"No, it won't! It's so special here, how could you forget it? Look at the spell pointers are shaking...... Eh, why don't you shake it again! Jones suddenly noticed that the spell pointer in his palm was no longer shaking, and he was completely silent, and after a few slow turns, the direction was stabilized.
“…… No way! Why is the direction different? Jones looked at the spell pointers in the palms of several people around him and sighed, because the pointers in each person's hands indicated different directions. When the palm of the hand is facing the same direction, the pointer turns out to point in six or seven directions.
"Why don't you go in one direction and take a look first!" Chen Kai's head is swollen, it is not a strange thing to get lost in the game, there are many people who have lost their way in the game these years. Although the spell pointer is very accurate, it can still be problematic. As for the compass in reality, it is basically equivalent to waste in Etian time, let alone a guide, not even pointing east.
"That's all there is to it!" Su Xinghe picked Xu Fei up and followed Chen Kai in one direction, and there was no other way but to slowly follow Chen Kai's back.
Carson walked in the middle of the line, but the more he walked, the more familiar his surroundings became, but he didn't know how long it was. It could be two months, or it could be three months. After all, it's been more than half a year since the game was opened, and he doesn't remember much about what happened a few months ago.
Suddenly, Carson saw an arrow in the treetops around him, a deep engraving that had been covered with moss and rattan from the trunk, and he suddenly remembered when he had been here.
"Stop! Stop it! Go backwards, there is danger ahead! Carson suddenly shouted in the ranks.
"Carson! Do you remember the way? Jones asked him happily.
"I don't remember the road, but it's definitely a dead end to go forward!" Carson said, pointing to the deep moss-covered arrow.
"This arrow?" Chen Kai looked at the arrow a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"I carved it a few months ago with the people of the Pioneer Regiment!" Carson looked into the depths of the forest with a little fear, as if there was something terrible inside.
"It can't be the unlucky bunch that was wiped out by a miniature pig, right?" Jones remembered a video circulating on the Internet of a pioneer group of thousands of people who had been wiped out by a pink miniature pig half the size of a domestic pig.
"Phew! That's a baby of a platinum war pig, not a mini pig! Carson naturally wouldn't admit to being killed by a miniature fragrant pig, and at this time everyone heard a soft pig cry, and then their faces changed.
"Damn! It won't be so unlucky! Everyone's ears felt the sound of the pig crying more and more distinct, though it was still far away. But one thing is for sure, it must be a pig, or rather, a pig-like creature.
Thinking of the terrifying little pink piglet that slaughtered thousands of first-order players, everyone immediately turned their heads and ran backwards after Carson. After running for a while, Chen Kai patted his head hard, and then summoned Ral, who had not been seen for a long time, and after Ral, he rubbed Chen Kai's helmet very affectionately. It has lived in it for too long, that is, it can't see its owner, and it can't run, so after it came out, it immediately wanted to hiss, but was pulled by Chen Kai.
Seeing Chen Kai's movements, everyone called out their war horses, which had not seen the sun for as long as their owners. So they were in a state of great excitement when they came out, but now their owners had to run for their lives.
Under Carson's guidance, Chen Kai and the others quickly rode their horses through the forest, in order to avoid the terrifying creatures that knocked down the trees behind them. Everyone heard the terrifying sound of the tree falling behind them, and the angry screams of the piglets.
Everyone's war horses are very good, although they are not as smooth as they are in the forest, but at least they can still run. It's not slower than a human, but it's certainly not as good as the terrible piglets behind them, at least they don't have the ability to crash through or knock down trees and walk directly through the forest.
Carson seems to have a very clear memory of the road, which was blurry at first, but grew clearer as he got farther away from where the arrow was found. As a result, the speed of leading the way became faster and faster, and everyone carefully steered their horses through the forest.
Chen Kai should be glad that at least the forest ground under their feet is fairly level, and there is enough green space for horses to walk through. He was also glad that most beasts were very sensitive to ground tremors, especially the vibrations of dozens of war horses, even carnivores did not dare to attack indiscriminately.
There were more than a dozen brown wolves hovering around where Chen Kai and the others had rushed, but they didn't dare to step forward to attack after seeing the dozens of war horses rushing past them, especially after smelling the terrible aura coming from not far away, they all put up their tails and fled.
After running for nearly a kilometer, the terrible piglet slowly stopped and stood in the distant forest to vent his anger. From its angry chirp, mixed with the miserable cries of some brown wolves, it was obvious that those brown wolves had replaced Chen Kai and they had become its targets.
"Whew~~ It's so dangerous that I was almost caught up by that little thing again!" Carson sighed as he listened to the sound of a pig disappearing behind him, the platinum pig cub was too impressed. At first, nearly 100 people wanted to pull it with ropes, but it just twisted its head and directly dragged hundreds of people away.
Thousands of first-order players ran out to pioneer the wilderness, only to be killed by a very cute-looking pig, and finally posted it on the Internet. That face was simply thrown into the Pacific Ocean, if it weren't for the fact that the official website used virtual technology to blur the human face, it is estimated that the leader of the team would have to jump the Yangtze River.
Of course, there was nothing to be ashamed of when a monster was killed, but the reason was that the piglet had already been held in the arms of the female player in the team. It turned out to be very unlucky, and the dinner that day happened to be roast suckling pig, and then the things were basically clear, and it was a river of blood.
Chen Kai and the others were very lucky, although they encountered the creature that might have been the platinum war pig, but at least they escaped. After running for several kilometers, they finally left the forest and entered a large swamp area, and this was a place that Chen Kai and they were very familiar with, the goblin swamp swamp full of swamp monsters.
"It's finally out, and it's much safer to get here!" Carson breathed a sigh of relief, although they had paid a heavy price for stepping through this swamp at the beginning, but now he really didn't pay attention to these goblins in their twenties.
"Quack!" When Carson was just breathing a sigh of relief, more than a dozen skinny goblins rushed out of the swamp on the side, and when they saw Chen Kai on the horse, they immediately turned around and left. Although they have bad brains and are bloodthirsty, they can still tell the numbers. The other party has at least twice as many people as themselves, and they know how to run away no matter how stupid they are.
However, just because they want to escape doesn't mean that Chen Kai is willing to let them escape, and players who have leveled up in the Swamp of Adolic know that these goblins hold grudges the most. If they escaped, it wouldn't be long before they would bring a large group of their kind, Chen Kai and the others didn't want to be surrounded by a group of goblins just after escaping from the forest, especially since most of them were all wounded.
Chen Kai jumped directly from Ral's back, grabbed the giant sword behind his back and killed the goblins who were scattered and fleeing, and the thieves and rangers on horseback were even faster than him. Directly took out the crossbow arrows and opened the bow to shoot, and several crossbow arrows and long arrows instantly shot at the goblins who fled the farthest, taking away a large handful of green blood.
None of the dozen or so goblins made it far, and all of them died in the swamp. Chen Kai slowly raised the giant sword in his hand, and the green blood did not stick to it at all under the action of the fighting qi, and dripped down one after another.
Not far away, some figures slowly appeared, and they probably heard the sound of war horses and ran over to check the situation. When I got closer, I found that they were all high-level players riding war horses, and those high-level war horses made these players who rushed to drool constantly.
After finding their position, Chen Kai and the others quickly rushed towards Adolik, but it was not easy to ride horses in the swamp, so the speed of travel was very slow. By the time they reached Adok, the stars in the sky were already beginning to illuminate the earth.
After arriving, Chen Kai's team was officially disbanded, except for the materials to be distributed to Lin Lei, everything else was given to the players who rushed back to copy a copy. Especially those spell notes and books, the knights and swordsmen in the team were also very happy to get a copy of the copied intermediate fighting spirit. Although it is not easy to learn, because they have to ask their own instructor for a lot of content, it is better to have something than not to come.
Low-level Dou Qi does not have Dou Qi attributes, but the middle and high-level Dou Qi will slowly show its own Dou Qi attributes, and the effect of the intermediate Dou Qi attribute is obvious, but the high-level Dou Qi will have strong familiar effects and characteristics. However, the special effects and characteristics will only be revealed after the Dou Qi is fully mastered, and even if most players have obtained the advanced Dou Qi, they will only express the word "advanced" in terms of the growth and recovery of the Dou Qi.
At least Chen Kai hadn't fully mastered his Dou Qi until now, and he didn't even know the name of his Dou Qi, he just learned about Shi Yi's high-level Dou Qi from the Divine Temple. Moreover, after transcribing the intermediate Dou Qi book, Chen Kai found that in fact, there was not much difference between the two, at most, the advanced Dou Qi added some explanations in terms of attributes and subtle differences in operation.
Chen Kai doesn't care very much about the intermediate Douqi books, if it weren't for the fact that the high-level Douqi can't be passed on to the outside world, and even the copying is banned by the system, it is estimated that Chen Kai will let Xu Fei copy the book out and take it out to buy. Of course, there is a limit to the number of copies that can be copied in the original version of an intermediate vindictive book, and even the most complete one can only be copied 100 sides. No more systems would be allowed, so Lin Lei's dream of making a fortune with intermediate-level vindictive books was instantly frustrated. Chen Kai and the others found less than 10 intermediate Dou Qi in total, and all of them were not enough for the internal consumption of the Lin Lei Guild.
As for the copying of spell books, the restrictions are even stricter, and if the mage can read them directly, it will require a lot of mental and magical energy from the scribe. In this way, an original book can only be copied up to ten times, and then the book will collapse directly. If it is only the text version, it will not be able to show the structure of many spells, so those theoretical books can only increase the player's reading knowledge at most, and will not have any effect on the knowledge of spells.
As for those spell books written with magical power, Chen Kai and they found less than a hundred in total, and most of them were the notes they finally found in the secret room. The other is the former notes of the ** master Renak, some of which account for a part, and some of the spell records left by several other intermediate mages, but the number is very scarce and the preservation is extremely bad.
As a result, only ten sets of books were copied in the end, of which Chen Kai spent tens of thousands of gold coins to get one of them, and the others were used by Lin Lei Nahui Thundering Castle for the construction of the spell library inside the castle. Of course, all the players can copy are ordinary books, and they have no way to copy books with magical powers, and the ten sets of books are all handed over to the mentor of the Spell Association to copy, and they are also done in secret, because Chen Kai Lao felt that when the Rainak ** master looked at him, a faint surprise and anger and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Chen Kai didn't know why Master Renak looked at him like this, and he didn't understand until his badge from the Bone Arcanist was handed over to Pastor Paul. When Chen Kai returned to the temple, he learned that his mentors, including Bishop Rong En, had gone to the Holy Mountain through the Guò teleportation array, and that it was Pastor Paul who was in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the temple.
When Chen Kai met Pastor Paul, he was busy with a few apprentices, and recently due to the influx of a large number of players and players above the second order rushing into Adogh to build a castle and obtain meritorious service, the affairs of the temple were twice as many as usual. And Bishop Ron, who was originally presiding over the temple, was not there, and Bass, who was in charge of the Knights of the Temple, was not there, so the acting presiding officer Paul was busy on all fours.
Not only did he have to deal with the affairs of the temple priest's hall, but he also had to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous things of the Knights, and worst of all, he had to keep the affairs of the temple in the town of Adolik in order. As a result, those apprentices who were not supposed to be exposed to the affairs of the temple were captured by him to work as coolies, and had to give up the time of leveling and meditation to work hard for a silver coin and a penny.
"Kaichen, you're just in time, I have something here, you can help me send it to Lord Earl!" You are a knight nobleman and should be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion! When Paul saw Chen Kai come in, he couldn't help but say something, and directly stuffed a lot of things and letters into Chen Kai's hands.
Chen Kai sighed as he looked at the letter task to the city lord that appeared in the task bar of the system, this kind of task did not have much experience but was the most tedious. First of all, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion are not easy to deal with, and the wrong object will not only have no task rewards, but will also be punished if you don't do it well, and the worst thing is that there will be miscellaneous things before the mission goal, which will prevent you from completing the task in various situations.
Of course, Chen Kai didn't come here to take on a mission, he put those letters and items in his backpack and took out the badge. But he was a little hesitant to show the badge to Pastor Paul, because it was so strange.
"Kaichen! Haven't you left yet? Or is there something wrong with you? Pastor Paul felt that the shadow in front of his desk had not left, and he looked up to see Chen Kai grasping a small golden object with a hesitant look on his face.
"That's right, Pastor Paul, I wanted to ask Bishop Jon what to do when he was here, but I really don't know if you can fix it, because it's so weird!" Chen Kai placed the Rainak badge in front of Pastor Paul.
"What the hell is it? Can't I identify a badge yet...... Okay, that's the end of today's business, you guys leave to get the perk from Knight Naik! Pastor Paul's face changed when he saw the badge and the black mist wrapped around it, especially when he saw the name written on the badge, and his expression was even more surprised and disbelieving, and then he quickly let the apprentices around him leave and closed the door.
"I said Kaichen! How did you take a filthy item and enter the temple! The knight guarding the temple even let you in! Pastor Paul kept scolding the two knights who were guarding the gate of the temple, causing them to sneeze.
"Sorry! Pastor Paul! I was negligent, but I think it's not the object that matters, it's the name on it! Master Renak ** is the chairman of the Adolic Spell Society, but why does his senior mage badge appear in Adog, and it is still in the body of a bone mage! Chen Kai stood in front of his desk and said to Pastor Paul. Suddenly, he heard a movement in the doorway, and he turned around and quickly opened the door, and several of the player's priest apprentices huddled together fell to the ground.
As the apprentices screamed as they fell, Pastor Paul slapped the table and stood up.
"Naik! Naik Knight! Come here for me right away! Paul's voice instantly passed through the temple, and soon a man in the armor of a knight in the temple quickly ran to the bishop's hall. He gave a knightly salute to Pastor Paul, while Chen Kai saluted respectfully to the other party, who was of a higher rank than him. Of course, it was also very direct to deal with the return gift, after all, Chen Kai was the only disciple he led, and more importantly, he was still a divine knight. Although he was only a low-level knight, as a Templar knight, Naik did not dare to be careless.
"Naik took them down, and they were not allowed to run around for a day, and you," said Paul, looking at the priests' apprentices, "each of them was punished for copying the morning prayer ten times!" With that, he asked Naik to take them down, and then closed the door directly.
Pastor Paul checked his surroundings again to make sure that there was no one, and then looked directly at Chen Kai, "Are you sure that this badge was obtained on the body of a bone mage, and can you confirm who is in front of that bone mage?" ”
"Yes! If only I could confirm that I still need Bishop Ronn and you? Chen Kai gave Pastor Paul a blank look.
"That's right! What is the strength of that bone mage! Pastor Paul patted himself on the head, thinking that he had been so busy lately that he hadn't thought about it.
"It's probably like a high-level mage, but it has its own consciousness, and the most important thing is that it says that its own Renak Hopkins wants to seek revenge on Reggie's dead brother of Renak's ** master!" Chen Kai thought of the words that the bone mage said before he was burned to death with the holy fire himself, that use of the holy fire made Chen Kai's proficiency of the holy flame reach the intermediate level, he can now control the size of the holy fire in his hand and the consumption of mana, and the most important thing is that the skill of the holy cut has become the control of the holy flame.
