Chapter 60: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
The morning sun reflected on the morning dew, refracting colorful light, the weather in November was cool, Qin Liang looked up and looked around, tightened the backpack behind him, and continued to walk forward.
His brows were tightly knit as if he was thinking about something, and the look in his eyes was sometimes complicated, sometimes confused, sometimes bright, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.
There are still a few days left before the battle of the school's combat power list will begin. A week ago, Qin Liang made a compound rune under the witness of the school's witnesses, and although he didn't succeed, the benefits he received were several times higher than the benefits he had received before.
This allowed Qin Liang to have enough materials to start his own research, but in his recent research, Qin Liang always felt that something was missing to make the integration of the undead flame a failure. He could clearly feel that success was in front of his eyes, but it was as if there was a transparent glass door between the two.
Qin Liang could see that success was on the other side of the glass door, but he was blocked by the glass and couldn't find the key to open it, so he could only watch the success but couldn't achieve it.
"What's missing?" Qin Liang, who was frowning, muttered in his mouth, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Sou!
A huge bobcat sprang out from the dense leaves of the big tree and went straight to Qin Liang, like a barb, its five-centimeter-long claws flickering with cold light, attacking Qin Liang's Adam's apple and wanting to kill him with one blow.
Swish!
A fire-colored spell burned in front of Qin Liang, and his eyes originally flashed with excitement, as if he felt that the bobcat that was delicious for his breakfast was directly surrounded by a ball of flames. Before the miserable cry could be uttered, it turned into a cloud of ashes.
"The power has increased by fifty percent." Seeing the lynx turn into ashes, Qin Liang nodded.
It's not an ordinary flame charm, but it's not a compound charm either, it's a semi-compound charm. Although this Flame Charm is superficially indistinguishable from other Flame Charms, it is actually double-layered.
The outer layer is a flame talisman, and the inside is indeed a wood spirit talisman. The Wood Spirit Charm is a Wood Growth Auxiliary Charm that provides wood power to plants to speed up their growth. And the five elements in the wood make a fire. When the Flame Charm wraps around the Wood Spirit Charm and burns, the power of the Wood will increase the power of the Flame as if it were adding fuel to the fire.
This is a kind of cooperation between spells, because it seems to be a spell, but in fact two are superimposed, so it is not a compound spell that is completely fused with each other. This is something that Qin Liang made out of a sudden inspiration after studying the compound charm.
It's too hard to make a complete compound spell, and his success rate is currently less than 30%. So it's a luxury to want to fight with a lot of compound charms. What's more, he must hand in the compound charm to the school within the specified time after receiving so many materials, otherwise his benefits will be reduced.
So in the end, there were not a few compound charms left in Qin Liang's hands at all. So in order to cope with the competition of the combat power list, Qin Liang invented this superimposed spell. Although it is not as powerful as the compound charm, it is easy to make, and the power is higher than that of ordinary charms, which can barely meet Qin Liang's requirements.
"It should be almost there." After dealing with the bobcat that suddenly jumped out, Qin Liang raised his head and looked at the sun that had just jumped out of the horizon, and then looked around and took out a map to determine his location.
He had been walking in the wild for three days, and the destination was naturally the location of the insect cage he had put down half a month ago. Half a month ago, after many inquiries, Qin Liang found out that a large number of dead people or demon beasts had been buried in that place in the wild.
The place is found, but the location is a little remote, even if Qin Liang comes to it, he has to refer to the map to walk over, otherwise he will get lost. Because the surrounding mountains and forests of that place have formed a natural phantom array, it is difficult for ordinary people to walk in.
Determining the direction, Qin Liang continued to move forward, but walked forward for about thirty meters before suddenly turning around after the meeting. The body jumped directly onto a large tree, and then jumped like an ape to another large tree, and disappeared into the dense forest in a few vertical leaps.
Not long after Qin Liang disappeared from the tree, two figures slowly emerged from a large tree behind him. Two people were wearing tights and had camouflage painted on their faces. There was a green glow on his body. This is the light of the Wood Fusion Charm, which is a support charm that allows the user's body to blend into the wood plant for a short period of time to play a hidden role.
"Did he spot us?" The shorter man on the left looked at the place where Qin Liang had disappeared and frowned at his companion next to him.
"How could the use of the Wood Fusion Talisman, coupled with the ability of the two of us to hide and detect for so many years, be discovered by this hairy boy? He probably didn't want to leave any marks on the ground, so he walked up the tree. But he's just a hairy boy with intermediate strength, why do you pay so much attention to him? The man on the right, a head taller, had a puzzled look on his face.
You must know that the detection and tracking abilities of the two of them are not the top among the forces they are in, but at least they are also mid-to-upper-class. They generally follow master-level figures, and sometimes they have even stalked grandmaster-level figures.
This time, the above solemnly explained that the two people came to follow Qin Liang, what kind of important task did they think. As a result, he just followed the hairy boy around the forest, which puzzled both of them.
"Just do what you tell us to do, let's go, this kid is a little cunning, don't let him run away." The short man shook his head, and with a loud voice, he climbed onto the big tree that Qin Liang had just jumped on, and when he searched for it, he saw the shallow footprints left by Qin Liang when he borrowed his strength just now, and continued to follow.
"I can catch up with my eyes closed, how can he run away?" The tall man had a disdainful smile on his face.
He didn't go up the tree, he just walked to the position where Qin Liang had just jumped up the tree, lowered his body and sniffed on the ground that Qin Liang had just stepped on. Then he got up, stretched his head and shook his nose a few times, strode towards the place where Qin Liang left.
Apparently this man is good at scent tracking, his nose is a little larger than normal, and it is not like the round nostrils of ordinary people, but a V-shaped shape that slopes inward, somewhat similar to the nose of a canine monster.
One of the two people was tracking the traces left by Qin Liang on the tree, while the other was following the scent on the ground and moving forward quickly.
After chasing for more than half an hour, after the short man who kept jumping forward on the tree according to Qin Liang's jumping trajectory jumped onto a big tree, he saw another trace on the branch of the big tree not far ahead, and he subconsciously got up and jumped over after repeating the same action for more than half an hour.
"Not good." The short man's face changed suddenly when he landed on the branch where Qin Liang had left traces.
Rumble!
A violent explosion rang out, and the trees surrounded by the three of them burst from where the short man had landed, and sawdust flew everywhere.
"What's wrong? You okay? The tall man who was following him with his neck lowered paused, looking overhead, his eyes searching the dense leaves of the trees around him to prevent other sneak attacks.
"It's okay, nnd, this kid should have discovered us, otherwise he would have left a burst charm to calculate me. If you don't follow, find him, and directly grab him and take him back to the business. The short man crawled out of the foliage of a tree that had fallen to the ground after it had been blown apart, and spat out the leaves from his mouth and cursed.
"Then grab it and take it back, but before you bring it back, you have to torture it carefully, this kid sneakily came here, maybe he is looking for some treasure." Seeing that his companion was embarrassed but not injured, the tall man did not notice anything abnormal, and his tense nerves relaxed. Stirring his nose, he continued to pursue Qin Liang's scent.
But after sniffing it, the tall man's face changed, because Qin Liang's smell actually disappeared at this moment.
The tall man opened his mouth to warn his companion that the target he was following might be nearby.
But before the words could be spoken, his feet were suddenly grabbed by one or two huge skeletal hands, and he suddenly pulled them idly.
The tall man's face changed drastically, the muscles of his whole body instantly bulged, and a short knife flashed in his hand and slashed towards the skeleton hand that was grabbing his ankle.
Swish!
A figure emerged from the big tree behind the tall man, and the dagger in Qin Liang's hand pierced the back of the tall man's heart.
The sneak attack came too suddenly, and the tall man who was grabbed by the skeleton technique and pulled to the ground couldn't move at all, so he barely opened his body sideways to avoid the vital point. At the same time, with a fierce look on his face, the short knife that was slashed towards the skeleton hand turned to attack behind him, wanting to fight for his life When Qin Liang gave him a knife, he also gave Qin Liang a knife.
But the short knife he had just turned to pause before he could swing his body, and he didn't even finish the action that he wanted to turn sideways to avoid the vital point.
Poof!
The dagger in Qin Liang's hand stabbed through the back of the tall man's heart, and the tip of the knife was exposed through the clothes on the tall man's chest. A stream of warm blood flowed down the dagger into Qin Liang's hand holding the hilt.
Everything happened between the calcium carbide sparks, and the first to be attacked was a short man. Both of them thought that even if someone was ambushed nearby, it must be a short man. But neither of them expected that Qin Liang would be a loud attack, and when the short man was cautious, he instantly shot out and killed the tall man.
Seeing that his companion's body went down after Qin Liang drew the dagger, the short man turned around and ran without any hesitation.
Rumble!
A huge flame burst into flames, cyan light flickering in the flames. The burning flames instantly formed a huge flame tornado, which swept the fleeing short man inside.
"Ah......h
The screams echoed through the air, and the short man caught in the flaming tornado turned into a cloud of ash and fell from the sky.
A raging tornado of flames swept through everything that could burn within ten meters, and finally slowly regained calm, and a wave of hot heat rippled in the air.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable......
Applause rang out from Qin Liang's dense leaves on a big tree not far away, and a man with a smile on his lips slowly walked out.
