Chapter 003: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada

Grant walked for a while, and the sky was dark and cloudy, as if it was about to rain. Occasionally, a few silver-white thunder snakes scurried to the ground, exploding a large area of charred land.

He glanced at the sky, and it was clear that he was approaching the area of black fog. The number of nearby mages also follows a linear upward trend. Grant wondered if the mages of Seleface City and other cities had come here, otherwise the entire road would be covered with black dots from a distance.

"That's a lot of people." Grant dropped a sentence and hurried forward again.

After rounding the green woods, Grant saw gray buildings in the distance. The farmland on the outskirts has long been filled in by spells, and stalls of all sizes have appeared, on which all kinds of things are placed. Grant felt a bit like the flea market in his previous life. After a casual glance at the items that I knew were mostly from the black mist, I simply sold a batch after the reserve ring couldn't be put down.

Grant didn't care, and he couldn't look at the things in the stall in front of him. I feel that even bending down to pick up is too much. As soon as he thought so, a stall in the corner piqued his interest. It was a man in his forties and fifties with a goatee. Dressed in cloth armor, he sat on a stall. Large and small bits and pieces were placed on it, and there was a pitch-black metal ore that piqued his interest.

He knew it was a rare item, an herb rather than an ore.

The introverted essence is the main elixir of the super spiritual power elixir, and ordinary people don't know what it looks like at all. This part is of course related to the scarcity of quality, but it is also the essence that lurks in ordinary stones. And the method of breaking ordinary stones can only be stones, unless they are combined with another herb to open them.

Grant walked to the stall in a few arrows. He bent down to look at the stone and asked, "Your Excellency." How much are you going to sell this stone for? ”

"Two hundred demonic stones." The middle-aged mage hesitated for a moment and said, this stone may not be worth two hundred. But the value of my adventure to the Black Mist this time is greater than this number.

Gran nodded. Dryly took out two hundred magic stones and gave them to the other party. The middle-aged man didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be so easy to talk to, and he would make a casual move with two hundred magic stones. But since it's for yourself, it's not polite. Directly threw the stone over.

"Huh." Grant smiled slightly, and as soon as he took over, his spiritual power sensed that there were two cold eyes staring at him behind him, and he sneered in his heart. After putting the stone into the reserve space, he sped away from here and headed for a road in the opposite direction of the knight's town.

"Oh no, he found us."

"Catch up."

in the corner. A tall and a short mage whispered. On tiptoe, he followed Grant.

As they walked forward, sparse grass gradually appeared on either side. Occasionally, clusters of bushes can be seen. The noisy crowds of people are rarely seen because they are getting farther and farther away.

"Something is wrong. What are they doing here? Is it a deliberate attempt to lure us? "The robe on the back of the tall mage bulged like a turtle. He stopped halfway through and muttered to himself. The more I thought about it, the more sure I was that I wasn't wrong. There is no need for ordinary people to come here.

"What's wrong? Eldest brother. Don't be afraid, he's not just a mid-second-order stage, you're a late-second-order stage. I'm the mid-second order top. It's better than him. In the face of strength, it is useless to let him have any tricks. The short mage couldn't help but be tempted when he sensed his brother's fear.

At this moment, a voice startled the two of them.

"That's right. There is no use in the face of strength, what do you want to do? Grant stood behind him, looking at the two men with great interest. Start with just now. I noticed that the two of them were staring at him.

When the short mage saw Grant, he simply felt a chord. He scolded: "If you hand over the reserve ring and the stone, we will let you go." If you don't want to call it out. Just wait to die. ”

"What if I don't pay it? Two idiots. Grant sneered, and a long sword appeared in his right hand.

"Brother, kill him."

"Yes."

The two looked at each other, knowing that there was no way out. You have to kill the person in front of you at the first moment, otherwise it will bring a lot of trouble later.

There was a sound in the air, and the ground shattered.

Rumble!

Grant felt a fluctuation on the soles of his feet, and he left his toes more than ten meters away. Seeing a huge stucco hand inexplicably appear on the ground, he shook it and turned the air into dust again.

There was a humming sound in the air, like a sharp stone scraping across glass.

Grant smiled, four or five layers of defensive armor wrapped around his body. The corners of his lips moved slightly, and a pale cyan wing slid behind him, and he casually sprinkled a handful of pale green powder in the air. By the way, there was also a handful of purple poison gas that I had gotten behind the pharmacist, and the two were mixed and surrounded the two of them.

"Not good!" The two mages realized that something had changed. I saw a phantom in front of me, and those green mist turned into human beings with naked human heads and heavy armor. He still held a long sword like a bone in his hand, and ran over.

The tall man was just about to fight when the purple mist made his eyes burst with gold stars. The feeling of dizziness made him unable to raise any strength to fight.

Poof!

Poof!

Grant stood on the outermost side, feeling no life fluctuations afterward. With a wave of his hands, all that was left on the ground was gurgling scarlet blood and white bones.

Harvest!

Grant took the reserve ring and left the place as well.

To be honest, he didn't know that the boundaries of the town could become such a mess now. I just showed a little bit of wealth and incommensurate strength, and I was remembered by these people in front of me. Grant thought about it, and was not too afraid. Since others dare to beat his idea, then he has to pay the price that is in line with it.

Back in the knight's town, the streets are full of people, armed with staves, sharp swords, and giant bows, all the while looking at the houses on the side of the road. When Grant returned from the stall, he knew that there were no more valuables there.

He walked down the street and looked at the neat houses on both sides.

"Which one are you looking for?" Grant looked at it.

"Your Excellency, we really have fate." A voice broke Grant's thoughts again. He turned to see the three mages he had met on the road earlier. They live in a house. Wave to yourself. The sturdy mage who spoke yes. At the moment, he was smiling.

Grant was stunned. smiled easily: "I didn't expect to meet you at this time." ”

"Your Excellency. Let's be looking for a room. The strong mage asked.

Grant thought about it, he was indeed looking for a room, and simply responded: "Well, I'm going to look for it again." ”

"If you don't like it, stay with us. Anyway, this room is quite big. There are still a few empty rooms that have not been used. The strong mage smiled, looking unconcerned.

"Thank you very much." Grant strode into a small ordinary building on the left. Inside, it was empty, as Master Stout had said, with a huge crystal chandelier on top. Densely packed candles are listed on it. The wall next to the door was lined with glazed windows, and a lot of light shone on the ground through the windows. A flash of light was reflected.

There is a row of stairs on the innermost side that leads to the second floor.

"Your Excellency, please!" The strong mage stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation, with a polite attitude.

Gran nodded and went up step by step with his hands on the wooden handrail. After a while, the sturdy mage disappeared from the sight of the two mages behind him.

The female mage's eyes were full of contempt and disdain, and she scolded: "This shameless one, obviously he doesn't have a room to live in and wander around, and the eldest brother is kind enough to give him a room." It's still the same. Brother. You see, that mage must be weak, this time it's just a matter of looking. ”

"Second sister, it's not too good to say these things." Another weak-looking mage whispered.

"Hmph, what's the matter?" The female mage sneered. I don't care about this kind of scum.

…………

On the second floor, there are six rooms side by side. There is also a small attic up there, and a lot of miscellaneous items are piled up. If you want to tidy up, you can still sleep. Naturally, the stout mage didn't have that idea. Took Grant to the room on the left, opened the room and smiled, "Your Excellency." I'm not satisfied with this room. ”

Grant glanced at it, and the room had only one wooden bed. There was nothing else outside of a desk, a bookshelf and two windows. Very clean and tidy though.

He smiled: "The room is very good, you have to bother." My name is Grant, I don't know what your name is? ”

The strong mage bowed slightly, and smiled politely: "I am from the Three-Patterned Flower Clan, and my name is Poor Zaqi. ”

Grant didn't care, stretched out his hand to exchange a few words with Poor Zaci, and then went into the room to rest first. He plans to go back to the Black Mist tomorrow. Find a room to sleep in today, as for sleeping in the wild, it's too troublesome, and like before, he understands that the mages here are all thieves and will take your life at any time.

He walked to the window and saw that it was approaching evening outside. The sun sets in the west, dyeing the clouds on the horizon a golden yellow. Many beams of light were like a light veil, covering the earth, setting off a golden yellow.

Da Da Da ......

The strong mage went downstairs and was dissatisfied when he saw the female mage pouting. couldn't help frowning and asked, "Second sister, what's the matter with you?" Who messed with you? ”

"I said, big brother, why did you let such a person live here?"

"Why not, second sister, you have to understand. There are mages worth befriending, regardless of strength. All have the value of friendship, and some mages with bad character, even if they are talented, must never stay away. Otherwise, it will not be clear when he dies. After saying this, Master Zhuang also went to the kitchen to find some food.

The next day, it was still dawn. After Grant got up and washed, he set off for the Black Mist area.

He said goodbye to the strong mage and walked around the town to the area shrouded in black fog. The Eroded Territory of Black Pressure was not as large as the outskirts of Selephait, only half the size. In the withered grass nearby, a number of gray tents have been built, and the heraldic symbols representing their respective families or powers are inserted on the ground.

A group of mages make dense plans around their respective camps, and a group of them organize spellcasting materials.

Grant glanced at it and walked along a straight avenue in the middle. I had just walked a few steps and met two familiar figures. A skull family mage with pale skin and a skull rune in the center of his eyebrows. They saw that Grant was staring at them and quickly left where he was, not wanting to run into Grant.

Grant chuckled and wasted no time. After adding an armor method to himself, he gently jumped into this black mist area with both feet.

Since it is a practice, it is naturally the innermost area. Running all the way, occasionally encountering large areas of trolls or demon trees in the meadows or woods. Grant uses a giant hand of fire to destroy all of these obstacles. He noticed that there was a flock of black, infected crows. If it weren't for the fact that the Third Order itself could grasp the spiritual perception distance of a hundred meters nearby, Grant really didn't know that there were many crows in the sky.

Chirp......

Grant put away his weapon, a hand knife, and the misty white light destroyed the approaching crow. These crows are weak, but they are numerous. Just more than 2,000 meters of road, I encountered thousands of them.

Relying on his strength, Grant stubbornly advanced to the dark zone. There was a lot of darkness all around, and there were already a lot fewer mages who could be seen. He stopped on the pole of a rotting tree that had fallen to the ground, and with a wave of his hand, Refe, Nightmare Beast, Purple Mist, and Gold-eating Wurm all ran out. They know that a new upgrade is about to begin.

"You hunt me in a fan shape, and don't chase those who can't be killed. Wait until I find a good spot nearby, and then arrange for you to continue hunting, you know? ”

"No problem."

"The word of the master is our mind."

The four third-order demon pangs all roared in unison, their eyes shining. Hunting in the Black Mist doesn't have to take care of anything, which is a very happy thing for this group of demon pets.

Grant walked forward when he saw the pet disappear. He remembered that the black fog had also engulfed two small towns.

Roar!!

Several demon corpses rushed over when they saw Grant, one, two, more and more......

Grant simply tore the scroll apart and incinerated the creatures in front of him with endless flames. Or a light mage destroying the body of every demon corpse.

This group of demon corpses was unwilling to turn into ashes, and soon a large area of white energy submerged into Grant's body.

…………

Sneer~~~

In a sticky black mist, three mages with swirling patterns in their eyes crossed a grove.

One of them was holding a bow, the other two being a sword and a staff.

"There are so many demon corpses here."

"Not much, how can there be more treasures."

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow me forward."

The leading mage let out a loud shout, slashed away several nearby demon corpses and walked forward. The two mages in the back followed closely.

After killing dozens of heads, the strong mage saw a shiny place in the distance, and his heart was overjoyed.

"Go, follow me to the front."

"No problem." The two people in the back nodded, blessed a wind shifting technique, and rushed over. (To be continued......)
