Chapter 3: Encounters

Unexpectedly smooth, Vince rushed out of the church and returned to the open space without any obstacles. He strode over to the barrier where he had come yesterday, and after a burst of blinding white light, he returned to the two trees.

Out of that strange place, Wince's mood finally calmed down. He searched for the marks he had made in the past few days and returned the way he came, thinking about what had happened from yesterday to today.

What seemed to be a logical move last night, now that he pondered it, Wins couldn't help but feel frightened. First of all, the most problematic point is that his physical strengthening last night actually lasted for two or three hours!

The use of soul sigils is a very energy-consuming thing, let alone for Vins, who only has one star. In normal times, he can only last about twenty minutes under the effect of physical strengthening, and this is still a situation where he does not fight. If used in battle, he can only hold out for less than ten minutes at most. But last night he only moved his hand when he thought of removing the limb reinforcement, and before that, the soul mark showed no signs of exhaustion!

Another point is that after he was sure that the Darkhorn Cat was dead, he actually started to use materials in that extremely strange church. Not to mention Vins, who has a lot of hunting experience, even ordinary people will take out the corpse of the Darkhorn Cat in that situation and find a safe place to dispose of it slowly.

As for the strange dream and the azure sword that followed, as well as the dark corner that only got a little bit of it, but when he woke up, he turned all into powder and sensibly put himself in the active box, it was already incomprehensible to Vins's imagination.

Returning along the markers, Vince slowly began to see some traces of human activity, and his nerves, which he had managed to relax, tensed up again.

After the outbreak of the plague, the Vignette powder in the city of Kairidon was hard to find, although the three major guilds all sent elites to hunt the Vignette Cat on the second floor of the leyline corridor, but the Vitreous Cat was a loner except for breeding, and the final Vigmy Powder was just a drop in the bucket for the plague in the city.

Money can make ghosts grind, and the huge profits have prompted many adventurers with insufficient strength to rush from all over the world, and also go deep into the leyline corridor, trying to get rich overnight. But since the main hunting grounds are divided among the three major guilds, these stragglers can only linger on the edge, and Vince is one of them.

Vince took out the short sword pinned to his waist and held it in his hand, this was not his best weapon, but before leaving, considering the huge difference in strength between himself and the Darkhorn Cat, it was almost the same with the long sword left by his father or not, so he chose a short sword that was more convenient to move.

Vince walked quickly through the woods, and he had another concern in his heart: what if he slept more than one night? Vince didn't want to go back with a box full of pills, but to sprinkle it on Elmer's grave. So he hurried back to the place he had agreed with Morich in the starry night.

Three days later, unscathed, Vince had to admit that he was a lucky Chosen One. For three days, Vins didn't encounter a single monster along the way. He originally thought that he would encounter some monsters that he couldn't fight, so he spent all his wealth to buy five bottles of special effects of odorous water, but he didn't use any of them until today. In this regard, Vince could only secretly pray that the craze for Kerryton City to go to the leyline corridor to make a fortune had not faded, and that he would be able to sell the five bottles of medicine at the original price when he returned.

It was noon, and Vins, who was trotting all the way, couldn't help but feel a little tired, and he sat down against the tree and began to eat some berries that he had picked on the road. As he ate, Vince suddenly heard the man's rough voice.

"It's been a week since we've been here, not to mention the damn Darkhorn Cat, we haven't seen a single barefoot cat!"

"Now that a gram of Darkhorn Powder can be fried in the sky, and those three occupy the middle of the place, where can it be so easy for you to run into the fish that slip through the net? You are playing with you when so many thugs under your command fence the hunting ground? Hmph, I heard that once a Darkhorn cat was found at the junction of Riesak and Darkmoon Hunting Ground, and both sides almost broke the stinky cat's head. Later, he made trouble in front of the city lord for this matter, and the city lord asked the dark moon, who first discovered the dark horned cat, to take sixty percent of the profits, and this matter was over. A deep male voice responded.

"All the money is earned by these bastards, what are we going to eat?! Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will tear off the heads of those three families for them!"

Vince hid behind a tree, and stole in the direction of the voice, and there was a swearing bald head, who looked very strong, and was at least two heads taller than him, and the other was a middle-aged man with a thin beard and a cane.

Based on just observation, Vince could probably tell that the skinny man should be an elemental mage, and the strong one was a warrior like himself. Vince glanced at it and then retracted behind the tree, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way back, he, the existence with the lowest combat power in the entire leyline corridor, didn't want to confront others head-on.

After a while, the deep male voice spoke again, and by the sound of the voice, they were already very close to Vins.

"We'll look for another day and go back. We can't bump into this fortune thing, and we still have to live our lives. We haven't done the work there for a whole week, and if we don't go back, we're afraid we'll be swept away. โ€œ

"Okay! I can't wait to go back. Walking around in this big forest all day long and doing nothing, I have to bear the eyes of the people of the three families, Lao Tzu has had enough! When I go back, I have to be comfortable in the golden leaves, hehe......" Speaking of the back, the bald head was a meaningful laugh.

"You can take it easy, the rat ...... lately Huh? What is it?"

"What's that?"

Vince frowned, but he didn't dare to stand up and see what was going on.

After a moment of uneasy silence, the deep voice said in a loud voice, "There's a freshly gnawed kernel on the road, I don't know which little mouse did it?"

Damn! Garbage can't be littered! Wen Si gritted his teeth angrily, he would actually make a mistake in this kind of problem! He carefully picked up the short sword that was set aside, his nerves tense, for fear of making a little noise and being discovered.

"Hey, I said you'd just come out. If you don't have anything in you, you should make friends. If you have anything on you, if you have wealth, everyone will make it together!hahaha!" the bald head laughed maliciously as he walked around, as if looking for traces.

Vince hid behind the tree and didn't dare to make a sound, and before he knew it, a layer of fine sweat had appeared on his clenched left hand.

"Friend, don't hide behind a tree, come out, the reflection of your weapon betrays you. โ€œ

The deep voice was like a death sentence, and Wince's heart fell to the bottom. He held the tree in one hand and slowly walked out from behind the tree.

"Wouldn't it be nice to come out early, wasting everyone's time!, come, let me see what treasure you have hidden behind the tree, and you don't even want to leak your face, I thought you were a woman at first!" the bald head grinned fiercely, and strode towards Vins. Vince noticed what seemed to be a flash of gold under the skin of his arm.

He's a warrior and he's done with his limbs.

Vince took a deep breath and frantically activated his soul seal, also strengthening his limbs, he had no choice.

The bald head walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Vins. Wince glanced at the bearded man, who stayed where he wasโ€”that's why he didn't run away, and Vins didn't think the elemental mage would allow himself to turn around and slip away.

"Luckily, though, he's an elemental mage. โ€œ

If Vince faced two fighters alone at this time, there was no chance that he would survive. And in the face of the combination of an elemental mage and a warrior, there may be room for detours!

The bald man walked closer, swung his right arm violently, picked up his right hand and punched Vins in the face, Vince hurriedly retreated to the right rear to avoid the powerful punch, and just wanted to take another step, he suddenly felt as if his calf was stuck in a quagmire, and he was struggling.

Wind Two-Star Ability: Wind Bondage! That bearded man is a wind elemental mage with at least two stars!

The bald head punched the air, and immediately turned around to make a second punch, and Vins was trapped in place and didn't have time to break free from the restraints! At the last moment, Vins suddenly felt an all-knowing and all-powerful feeling fill his body, and his vision seemed to be clear all of a sudden.

The bald head in front of him had just turned around, but Vince had no sense that he was going to throw an uppercut. At the moment of life and death, he still has what right and wrong he can control there, since this dead bald head is going to make an uppercut, then I will help him out!

Just as the bald head was about to throw a punch, Vince pressed forward and pressed his waist. Then he didn't have time to look at the bald head's movements, and he threw himself back sharply! A violent fist wind almost blew into his face at the same time as Vince leaned back, it was really an uppercut!

At the same time, Vince clenched the short sword in his right hand and seized the rare opportunity to turn defense into offense. But as soon as this idea appeared, a huge sense of crisis enveloped his whole body.

Damn it!

Vince gritted his teeth, gave up the idea of attacking, and broke free from the shackles of the wind with all his might, and opened the distance between him and the bald head with a backjump.

All this happened between the lightning and flint, and the bald head saw that Wen Si did not attack when he could not defend, and raised his eyebrows in surprise and said: "Lao Tzu's petrified skin is all done, just wait for you to go down with a sword, and the master will hammer your head to pieces." Boy's got lucky!"

Petrified skin, a warrior's two-star ability. It looks like they're a two-star group of adventurers.

As soon as Vince wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a sense of crisis appeared in his heart again. Don't think about it, it must be that wind mage who wants to cast a spell!

There was no time to determine the location of the mage, so Vince could only jump in front of the bald head in the direction of the sense of crisis, and used the bald head as a shield.

The bearded man, who was just about to release the wind blade, suddenly saw his opponent leave his field of vision with a flexible jump, and scolded in a low voice, "Damn!" canceled the spell in his hand.

"Patch, don't waste time...... Ahh

Before the elemental mage could finish speaking, he suddenly let out a terrible scream!

"Big brother!"

The bald head, who had just lifted the petrified skin and wanted to beat Vins hard, roared angrily, abandoned Vins, and quickly turned around and rushed towards the mage. As soon as he turned, Vince saw what had happened to the mage.

A silver-white silver fox overpowered the mage and was now standing on his chest, ready to bite him down on the throat!

The mage was not slow to react, seeing that the big scarlet mouth with hot breath was about to bite him, he punched the silver fox in the abdomen, and the silver fox took a step back in pain. At this time, the bald head had already arrived at the silver fox's side.

The two of them are fighting against the four-star monster Silver Fox in front of them, don't slip away at this time, but when will they wait? Vins put away his short sword, canceled his limb enhancement and rushed towards the dense forest.

In this forest on the second floor of the leyline corridor, Vins didn't dare to leave his marked original route and run around, so he could only rush forward. But this path was obviously not the shortest path away from those two people, and Vince could only secretly pray that the silver fox would pestering the two of them for a while longer, or simply be ruthless, and let those two stay here forever.
