Chapter Ninety-Eight: Faint and Inconspicuous
There was no sun or moon in the sky, only a gray mist shrouded in which the boundaries of day and night were infinitely blurred; If it weren't for the hourglass, Zhan Gaorui wouldn't have been able to tell what time it was, or morning and afternoon.
Time is undoubtedly of the essence for a wizard.
Whether it is experimentation or meditation, there are strict requirements, and under such strict requirements, it is reasonable to have a very sensitive view of time.
In fact, most wizards do, but Zhan Gaorui is an exception.
Because of an experimental accident, his perception was 'blurred' - not that he could not see or hear, but on the contrary, he was able to see farther and hear more clearly.
However, the perception of some things is infinitely diminished.
For example: time.
If it weren't for the existence of the hourglass, Zhan Gaorui would definitely fall into a state of ignorance until he was exhausted by hunger and fatigue—hunger and fatigue are also 'blurred' things.
Zhan Qirui 'doesn't feel' these things, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Therefore, he set himself a fairly strict schedule to ensure that he would not suddenly faint on the ground.
Of course, such a schedule is not impossible to break, in fact, every time you go out on a mission, it will be completely broken.
And the only thing that made Zhan Gaorui feel a little relieved was that he was definitely not the only one who was broken by him-
"Captain, I didn't find out! Captain? Captain? ”
Although some have been blurred, others have been increased to a limit. It undoubtedly acts as the 'eyes' and 'ears' of the squad.
This mission was no exception.
He followed the captain's arrangement. Investigate everything in the watchtower ahead. However, to his surprise, nothing was discovered.
Neither friendly nor enemy troops were found.
Such a situation was definitely not something that Zhan Gaorui could handle by himself, so he returned to the team's temporary base without hesitation, wanting to ask his captain what to do next.
But. Successive inquiries went unanswered.
The premonition in his heart made Zhan Gaorui's nerves tense for an instant, and he became more and more cautious - he believed that he was not experiencing auditory hallucinations, and in the last moment, he also heard a whispered discussion between his captain and the team, but the next moment there was no sound at all.
Except that they were joking with him, there was only a little bit left of it...... Something happened.
And it's a big surprise, after all, being able to make all three people, including his captain, lose their ability to act and speak in an instant, and it will definitely not be a simple enemy.
As for the joke?
Although he admits that his captain is a guy who loves to joke. The team members also liked such a captain, but that was without a mission. Once there is a mission, their captain is definitely a serious person.
Two vials of green potion appeared in Zhan Kurui's hands - because of that experiment, he gained some special abilities, but lost even more.
Although the spell slots have not disappeared, most of the spells cannot be condensed, and only most of the protection and change systems are still in them; Undoubtedly, the spells of both schools lacked the true sense of 'firepower', so when facing the enemy, he needed other means to strengthen his attack.
And the potions science in the alchemy school undoubtedly allowed Zhan Kurui to find his own way-
Sou!
Syllable!
A black shadow flashed in front of him, that kind of huge body was obviously not something that a normal human could have, so a potion in Zhan Kurui's hand shot straight out and accurately smashed into the black shadow's body; Suddenly, a green mist shrouded it.
That kind of color and pungent smell, even ordinary people know that the Tao is poisonous.
However, for alien races, ordinary toxins cannot be fatal at all, and even some highly toxic poisons have limited lethality to alien races.
Therefore, Zhan Kurui did not cause it, and another test tube in his hand also ejaculated.
Rumble!
As the test tube flew out, it was like a match thrown into gasoline, and suddenly a raging flame rose into the air, enveloping everything within thirty feet in diameter.
Maybe for toxins, the alien race has quite strong resistance, but for the flame, there is no gap with ordinary people, especially some orc-like alien races, for the flame is a natural fear of the heart, quite a lot of times, as long as the flame appears, those orc-like aliens with insufficient strength will tremble, even if the strength is strong, it will be extremely uncomfortable.
And in the army of aliens, these orcs undoubtedly occupy the vast majority.
Therefore, fire became a common tool for wizards.
Even if you are not good at it, you will bring a bottle or two of flame burner and accelerant with you.
Zhan Kurui is naturally no exception, and even in the future to supplement his weakness of insufficient attack power, Zhan Kurui brings more flame burners and accelerants.
When the flame burned, several bottles of accelerant were thrown into the flame, making the already vigorous flame more and more unstoppable.
But even in the midst of such unstoppable flames, a dark shadow loomed.
Zhan Gaorui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly lifted his heart - although it was only a glimpse before, he was sure that this black shadow had not changed at all compared to before.
To put it simply, Zhan Gaorui's attack was a complete failure.
[Slow Technique]!
【Cat Elegance】!
In the face of such an enemy, Zhan Gaorui didn't think of throwing a spell that belonged to the change system, and then, after blessing himself with agility, he turned around and ran - in the face of irresistible enemies, wizards will not run away, unless there is something inevitable that must be done, and they can't die yet.
And that's it for now!
"There's a problem!! Even the elite of the alien race. But how can there be such strength?! There must be some conspiracy! The fortress must be notified! ”
Such thoughts flashed in Zhan Qirui's heart. The speed at which he was originally blessed became faster and faster.
But. Obviously, the enemy behind him is faster.
Almost after Zhan Qirui had only run less than a hundred feet, the other party broke free from the entanglement of flames and spells and rushed out, and then, the next moment, he appeared behind Zhan Qirui, and his sharp claws waved down.
Suddenly, the [Force Field Shield] and [Mage Armor] that erupted from Zhan Gaorui's robe shattered with a single blow.
However, hold on to such an opportunity. Zhan Kurui fell forward and rolled on the spot, dodging the fatal blow that followed, but this was only temporary.
Looking at the huge, scaly armor, and clawed alien race, Zhan Qirui's expression was slightly desperate.
There is both despair of the loss of his own life, and also despair of not being able to send the news out of the river.
After seeing this alien race, Zhan Qirui was even more sure of his previous speculation about the alien conspiracy; After all, this kind of transformation of the alien race is definitely not an elite. It is really a high-end combat force in the alien army, and it usually acts as a guard for those alien kings. And they won't leave the kings.
And now, they have appeared behind the wizard legion, before the fortress 'The Great', and if there is no conspiracy, no one will believe it.
But......
Zhan Kurui let out a wry smile of his own, even if he knew the truth, what could he do?
He is now unable to protect himself.
And just when Zhan Gaorui gave up resistance and was about to die, a lightning bolt struck-[Blood Lead] is a desperate trick of all wizards, but unfortunately, Zhan Gaorui couldn't use such a technique at all because of that damn experimental accident, because he couldn't accurately grasp the amount of power in it.
I can't even launch it.
However, it was precisely because he did not start that he was able to stand up completely and energetically.
When that lightning appeared, Zhan Gaorui, who had an extremely keen sense, sensed it, and shuddered at the same time, because he could feel how powerful the power contained in that lightning was.
And as if to confirm Zhan Gaorui's perception, the alien king's guard, who had been unscathed in the face of the raging flames before, instantly became a piece of coke.
"Thank you for saving your life!"
Looking at the wizard who came out in the distance, Zhan Gaorui said very gratefully, even if the other party was very young, he couldn't stop him from bowing.
"You should have your own guess about what's going on here, right?"
Ye Qi looked at the middle-aged man who bowed to him, and asked directly-to be honest, Ye Qi was shouting for luck for the appearance of this middle-aged wizard.
Because, he had already 'cleaned' all the outposts that he had marked in his mind but were occupied by aliens as bait, but he didn't find a single wizard alive.
It's not that the aliens don't want to be captured, it's that it's simply impossible.
Except for the wizards who died unprepared during the surprise attack, the rest of the wizards all did not hesitate to turn on the [Blood Channel] and shed the last drop of blood in their bodies - obviously, compared to his temporary captain, these wizards on the front line are undoubtedly determined.
If you don't compromise or retreat, you'd rather fight to the death.
This was the conclusion that Ye Qi had come to after inspecting all the outposts, and at the same time, he also knew what traps had been set for those aliens to be so 'open'.
Because, they know that the determination of these wizards is equivalent to keeping them a secret.
Ye Qi didn't mind the inability to stop it before the incident, after all, it was impossible for him to be so-called omniscient, but after the incident, if he didn't do something, he would definitely have trouble sleeping.
Therefore, he killed all the aliens that could be found in each outpost.
But some things that happened in the fortress and in the dense forest made Ye Qi frown-
Undoubtedly, his temporary captain and team members were quite good, not only in strength, but also in ability, and they all returned to the fortress as promised and what was going to happen here, 1510 report.
Otherwise, the fortress wouldn't have sent more wizards.
At the beginning, after Ye Qi perceived these wizards who had been sent. I was secretly relieved in my heart.
But. As these wizards are just encircling the alien races in the dense forest, they are tasked with the task of interception. Instead of actually inspecting other unknown sentry posts, Ye Qi immediately understood that something was wrong.
It's not his temporary captains, the players.
It's one of the upper echelons of the emergency department, or something has a problem.
Otherwise, it would not be such a 'small fight' at all, but a large-scale transfer, and after that, the silence of the three wizard legions proved Ye Qi's guess.
As for why such a question arises?
In the face of aliens, wizards are not afraid of death. But some internal struggles still exist.
The struggle between commoner wizards and wizard nobles is not a day or two.
And the secret battles between wizards and nobles have been circulating like epics that generally need to be 'praised'.
And this kind of open and covert struggle is undoubtedly the main reason for such a result.
Of course, Ye Qi only hoped that this was the reason.
After all, if there are other reasons, it will definitely be a blow to all wizards - after all, a wizard who has taken refuge in a different race is definitely something that makes people's faith collapse.
So. Ye Qi had to send someone to 'correct' such a thing.
As for himself?
Undoubtedly, the remaining occupied outposts that could be exploited. That's where he's supposed to go.
Therefore, for the appearance of the middle-aged wizard in front of him, Ye Qi expressed his kindness - he needed a messenger, and the middle-aged man in front of him was undoubtedly the most suitable.
Whether it is the identity of the other party's wizard or the state at the moment, it is very suitable, and of course, there is also the identity of the other party's civilian.
It's very simple to tell the difference between a commoner wizard and a noble wizard - just look at the magic equipment on your body, especially the number of magic accessories.
In the case of civilian wizards, there are one or two, or none at all.
The wizarding aristocracy, on the other hand, is eager to be fully armed to strengthen their security, and to distinguish themselves from those of the common people.
Of course, compared to the physical condition of his temporary captain, this middle-aged wizard was much stronger.
However, again, the situation is much more complicated at the moment; Therefore, there are some things that he needs to inform the messenger in front of him-
"This is a conspiracy against us!"
Zhan Qirui faced Ye Qi and said his opinion without concealment.
Obviously, the middle-aged wizard could see that the young man in front of him also 'understood' this conspiracy, and the strength of the other party was far higher than his, and he was afraid that he had stepped into the transcendental.
Compared to the middle-aged people at his age, but he can still only be trapped in place, extraordinary and hopeless, the other party is undoubtedly a genius.
And no one knows that such a genius is important to the wizarding dynasty, and it is inevitable that the other party will be in an important position.
Coupled with the other party's life-saving grace, Zhan Kurui did not think that he had the need to hide it.
"Well, it's a conspiracy, and it's a conspiracy that happens frequently...... My team had returned to the fortress about four hours ago, but now the fortress had only sent some wizards to search for the so-called aliens in the dense forest! ”
Ye Qi nodded and said slowly; However, when he saw Zhan Gaorui's surprised expression, Ye Qi couldn't help but stop.
Obviously, for him who used [Perception] to control everything in his hands, the other party did not know the specific situation of Lu Dao.
This is not a gap in wisdom between the two sides, but just a gap in the whole situation.
Therefore, Ye Qi changed his way of talking to the other party-
"You're not unfamiliar with this corpse, are you?"
Ye Qi kicked the charred corpse of the alien.
"The guards of the alien kings!"
Zhan Qirui said.
"So the guards guarding the alien kings have appeared here, as their guards, where are those kings?"
Ye Qi asked with a smile.
"You mean?!"
A look of surprise appeared on Zhan Gaorui's face, and he opened his mouth wide and looked at Ye Qi a little bewildered.
"Huh...... We're just guessing right now, but it's hard to contain our surprise...... If it becomes a reality, what kind of situation will we face? ”
The scene that appeared in the [perception] made Ye Qi unconscious for a while, and then, he looked at the middle-aged wizard in front of him again, and said calmly, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but it proved that Ye Qi was not as calm as he appeared at the moment - after all, all his previous speculations were based on his guesses, and there was no effective evidence at all, so he also needed a 'bluff' approach.
However, at the moment, it is not necessary!
The alien army that appeared in [Perception] was enough to prove his guess.
Everything is prepared bait!
Even, after that, he sent someone back to report the news, and then the appearance of the emergency department was also expected by the other party.
Or rather...... This is exactly what the other side needs.
Draw the attention of the wizards here, and then, annihilate the elite of wizards - the emergency department in one fell swoop.
That's right, the other party's goal from the beginning was the Ministry of Emergency Preparedness itself!
Even after going around in a big circle, he will still attack the emergency department!
Feeling the abnormal fluctuations emanating from the alien army, Ye Qi thought with great certainty.
"It's just a coincidence, isn't it?"
Ye Qi asked himself silently in his heart.
PS In the afternoon, the decadence was lightning and thunder, and it was still a few drops of rain, not very big, and the weather was super cool...... So, decadence means a breath of fresh air - squatting on the roof, teasing the cat next door, everything is pleasant; And then...... Nima didn't know whose bear child it was, so she moved the ladder to the opposite wall...... Decadent%*#@
The decadent who came down after a lot of hardships said: Don't let me know who Lu Dao is, I promise not to kill you!
Thanks to the prodigal son wandering in the four seas, turtle0920, starforever9200 starting coins, sdicsn, jackkk2007, and their lost hearts 100 starting coins for the reward~~~ Decadence bows again and thanks to the brothers and sisters who support decadence~~~ (To be continued......)
