Chapter 6: The Tide of Beasts
It was about one o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was abundant and the temperature was pleasant in the ancient tree-covered Demon Mist Forest. Vins walked into the forest, where the lights and shadows were dappled, the birds chirped, and the faint scent of flowers. His mood was much soothed.
"What a great day to travel. The troublesome young man stretched his waist and said casually.
Soska said with a smile: "Young master, don't let your guard down, if you will be embarrassed by the sudden attack of the monster, then you won't be able to hang your face in the future." “
The young man snorted and said, "How is that possible?"
Colis smiled: "Don't worry, we can only encounter some one-star monsters such as steel-maned boars in this area at most, but how dare these one-star monsters approach us." Go further and you'll have big guys. “
Vince noticed a glimmer of gold running through Corlis's eyes from time to time.
Three-star Wind Mage's ability: Wind Country.
This is a secondary spell that allows the caster to grasp the situation within about fifty meters of themselves. It is said that if you can go further on the path of the wind mage, the country of wind will become a storm realm, and the caster will be the true monarch of the wind.
Now that he's activated the Land of the Winds, there's probably nothing to do with me. Vince thought helplessly. In fact, with Colis's strength and experience, coupled with Titch, this mission is already nine out of ten, but Yerevan, who has always cared for himself, still let himself participate in this mission.
"You can't disgrace Darkmoon and Mr. Yerevan. Vince muttered quietly, cheering up.
A little further in, the trees in the forest grew more and more leafy, and the light was visibly dim.
"It's coming. Collis said in a suppressed voice.
Everyone showed their weapons one after another, and the young man who was bored just now suddenly became excited and said, "Don't make a move, let me come!"
"Wow!"
The leaves above his head shook, and a monkey rushed out of it with its teeth and claws, and jumped straight at the young and vigorous youth.
The young man originally thought that the monster would rush out directly in front of him, but he never expected to attack from the top of his head, and although he hurriedly raised his sword at this time, he was still a step late.
"Look for death!" Soska, the guard who had been following the young man closely, shouted angrily, and slashed from the bottom to the top with his sword. Although the angle of this swing is limited, it is worthy of an experienced guard, and his sword just seals the route of the monkey's attack on his young master.
Seeing that the monkey was about to collide with Soska's sword and die on the spot, it suddenly flipped forward in the air, stepped on the blade of the sword with both feet, and jumped up with the strength of the sword, dodging the sword.
Before Soska could change his tactics, the monkey landed and stepped on the young man's head, jumped up and grabbed the trunk of the tree and fled. This monster is still very smart, and he will retreat with one blow, and if he dares to make one more move, the three of Dark Moon will inevitably use a little trick to make it obediently slaughtered by customers for the sake of performance.
"Soska, didn't you tell you to stop it?!" the young man angrily scolded the guards as he messed up his monkey-scratched hair.
When Soska heard this, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and explained: "It's the fault of his subordinates, and his subordinates are in a hurry." “
"Get up, chase the monkey for me, and it won't want to run away alive today!" said the young man, retracting his sword, and said viciously.
Soska quickly replied, "Yes!" and got up and chased after the monkey where he had left.
Seeing this, Titch hurriedly followed, "That was a two-star wind monkey just now! It can cast a little wind magic, so it can rotate very flexibly in the air!"
Colis nodded and added, "It ran northwest. ”
The group chased after the poor wind monkey.
The wind monkey was already easy and fast to move on the tree, coupled with the help of the wind, all the way to the northwest rushed wildly, everyone chased for a long time without seeing the trace of the wind monkey, and they all wanted to stop. But as soon as everyone slowed down slightly, the eldest young master jumped like thunder, and had no choice but to chase after him.
Vince looked at the increasingly unfamiliar terrain nearby, and the uneasiness in his heart was hard to suppress. In fact, three minutes ago, he had never seen a trace of the Wind Monkey again. However, although he was good at tracking, the Land of the Wind was clearly a more powerful recon magic, so Corliss didn't speak, and he didn't dare to object.
The scenery in front of him became darker and darker, and Vince finally couldn't bear the strangeness in his heart, and said to Titch beside him, "Titch, are we chasing too deep?"
Although one of the main sources of the joy of hunting is tracking prey, it was the first time that Wens had been tracking Wens so deeply and for so long at work, and it was inevitable that he would feel uneasy.
Titch glanced at Collis, who was at the front of the line to guide everyone, and said, "I'm feeling a little weird, we've never chased a monster for so long before. ”
Vince said, "Go and warn Mr. Corlis, we are not strong, and it may be dangerous to chase us like this." "It's not that Vins wants to push the possibility of offending customers to Titch, but it's that it's not easy for him to keep up with the speed of the big army, let alone catch up with Corlis.
Titch hesitated, nodded, and ran two quick steps to Mr. Corlis's side, whispering a few words in his ear.
"Don't even think about it! this monkey must die today!" Before Vance could wait for Collis's answer, he heard the eldest young master shouting angrily.
"Stop!" the young woman gestured with a raised hand.
Everyone stopped, and as soon as the eldest young master was about to have a seizure, the woman said, "Keske, the pursuit of this monkey will end here." I've indulged your willfulness enough today, don't forget what we're here for?!"
Keske was like a rooster that was about to crow but was pinched by the neck, and he stood still with a red face.
The woman turned to Colis and said, "Mr. Collis, please take us to the Moire Tiger, that's what we're aiming for today." ”
Corliss turned around and said, "Are you sure you won't chase it?"
The woman nodded.
"As you wish. The activity area of the moire tiger is in the southeast direction, please follow me. ”
Without saying a word, everyone turned around and walked to the southeast, and Vins, who was originally standing at the back of the line, also wanted to turn around and leave, but a huge sense of crisis suddenly surrounded Vins. Vince looked desperately to the north, he wanted to scream, but he couldn't, fear almost crushed his reason, and cold sweat seeped out frantically.
Facing each other, everyone noticed that Vins was strange. Titch took two steps closer, frowned, and said, "Vins, Vins, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone looked at Vins with a hideous expression but did not speak, and they all slowly touched their weapons. How can a normal person lose his mind in a good way? Everyone thinks of that word - alienation.
The origin of all evil, the end of all killing. The Demonic Mist Forest's greatest dislike for humans.
"Titch, shake with your mind!" Collis still maintained a sophisticated and calm style, and commanded the situation without panic.
Titch came to his senses and hurriedly pulled out his scepter. After a brief chanting, a white light burst out of the scepter and struck Vins.
Vins, whose reason was on the verge of collapse, instantly felt that he was pulled back by a powerful force, and his body suddenly relaxed. Seeing that Vince was back to normal, everyone also sighed.
Seeing that Vince had come to his senses, Collis sternly asked, "Vins, what are you doing?!"
Vince knew that his hunch was inexplicable, but there was obviously no way to fool him through at this time, so he could only stubbornly say: "Mr. Corlis, the north, there seems to be some strong monster in our north." ”
With Vins saying this, the group fell into a strange silence.
Vince's scalp was numb, and the cold sweat flowed faster, but he did not dare to look up at Mr. Corlis's face, so he could only stare at the ground uneasily.
Kesk saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said, "I still ...... what a one-star warrior can sense."
"Shut up, Keske!" the woman reprimanded her brother, and Keske stopped in a huff. She then said to the crowd, "When did the birds in the forest stop?"
After she reminded her, everyone noticed. That's right, the Demon Mist Forest, which was full of vitality not long ago, why is there no sound at all now?!
Corlis's face changed, and he hurriedly leaned on the ground and listened carefully. Soon, he stood up with a pale face and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there are many monsters coming at us from the north! No, not many, very many!"
The atmosphere froze.
"Let's go, get out of here, we can't fight here!" Soska was the first to react, picking up the three masters and running. The remaining five quickly followed.
"Kolis, where is the terrain nearby that is suitable for battle?! we can't outrun these monsters!" Soska shouted to Kolis, eagerly.
Colis frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Follow me!" With that, he ran in the other direction, and Sosk hurriedly followed him.
After running a short distance, they came to a slope that was not very steep, and in front of it was a shallow swamp. Corliss said very quickly: "Although it can only play a little bit of the strengths of the elemental mage, it is fortunate that it is facing the monster that is impacting us, and the slope is quite wide, so we don't have to worry about being attacked on our back." Mr. Soska and Vince confront the onrushing monsters at the bottom of the slope, and Titch uses recovery techniques behind them to keep them from dying. The remaining two elemental mages and I stand on the slope and use spells to attack monsters, and the three principals please stand at the back, and you must not miss a beat. ”
Soska nodded in agreement. The two elemental mages picked out from the bodyguard group hurriedly began to set up blasting traps at the end of the swamp.
Blasting Trap, a two-star ability of a fire elemental mage, has a good amount of destructiveness.
The young man who had not spoken among the three clients said at this time, "Mr. Corlis, my sister and I are both excellent elemental mages, and we should be able to help as well. ”
Colis nodded, not saying anything more, he was now busy recovering from the magic consumption caused by maintaining the Wind Nation for so long.
Seeing that he was the only one who was well protected, Kesk said eagerly, "I'm going to fight with Mr. Sosk too!"
The woman shook her head and said, "Keske, although your strength is already at the two-star level, the training you have undergone is to fight with people, and this kind of battle is not suitable for you. ”
Kesk was about to say something more, but suddenly the ground began to tremble slightly under his feet.
"Boom! boom!"
The trembling became more and more intense, and a loud sound accompanied by the roar of an unknown monster came from far and near.
Colis opened his eyes, Huo Ran stood up and shouted loudly: "You must hold on!"
