Chapter 15: Camp Steel Shield
The road between the two mountains tends to get narrower and narrower, and a mixed procession of humans and boar people passes through it.
Compared with the beginning, the human team did not lose anything, but it was a little more embarrassed, the clothes on their bodies were rotten into strips of cloth, even the well-protected Mu Yan was not spared, the strong muscles were exposed to the air, and the hideous scars crawled on the body like centipedes, living like a sturdy beggar. But compared to the team of the boar people, they are much better.
A full quarter of the boar people fell in that charge, which made the boar people's hunting party look a whole circle smaller! Mu Yan lay on Dicker's back and saw it clearly, many of them were the outermost circle of guards, from the charge to death, no one let go of the slightest gap, the burly body became the most solid shield for the inner companions, and at the same time became the fattest fat in the eyes of the wolves.
The raging wolves were like peeling onions, consuming little by little the physical strength of the outermost boarmen, peeling them off the charging ranks, layer by layer.
Although the wolves have suffered great losses, they have also left the most wild boar people to the greatest extent, although the dead wolves far exceed the wild boar people killed in battle, but this wolf is just a small wave for the countless wolves in the forest, and for the wild boar people who are not excellent in reproduction, every dead wild boar man warrior is a great loss! The wolves have apparently dealt with the boar people countless times over thousands of years, and this is the most effective strategy for such a charge.
The atmosphere of the team was very depressing, and the hunters did not speak and moved forward silently. Mu Yan was put off his back and followed behind Cora, and now he could still keep up with this level of speed.
I don't know how long it has been, but it's completely dark, because it's near the boar man's camp, so there's no need to worry about any dangerous monsters nearby, even if there were these monsters before, they would have been driven away by the boar people a long time ago.
The team was still moving forward, and a huge shadow and a faint glow of fire could already be seen in front of them.
……
The heavy iron door slowly opened, and tall braziers were built on both sides of the door, almost six or seven meters away, illuminating the entire front door.
Two rows of boar people stood quietly on both sides of the gate with stone spears, and standing in the middle of the road was a boar man who was as strong as Kao Ruzhu and wore a linen robe, and he had a staff about the length of Mu Yan's hunting knife pinned to his waist, and the dark green crystals at the top of the staff were coiled up like tree roots, emitting a faint fluorescence in the dark.
"Second brother!" Seeing the figure in front of the door, Kao Ruzhu let out a deep cry and stepped forward, obviously, this is the second of the three brothers of the wild boar man.
The boar man, who was called the second brother by Kao Ruzhu, nodded at him, swept his eyes over the returning team, and found that only three-quarters of the people had returned, and couldn't help frowning, and after seeing that there were still a few humans among them, his brows furrowed even deeper.
He exchanged a few words with Kao Ruzhu in a low voice, because the distance was too far away Mu Yan didn't hear what he said clearly, only to see Kao Ruzhu turn around and point to a few of them, and say a few words to his second brother, and then the wild boar man he called the second brother nodded, took out the staff from his waist and moved his mouth, and pointed at them, six small balls of light emitting white light came out of the dark green crystals and slowly floated in front of the six members of the hunting team.
Mu Yan glanced at the rest of the eyes and found that everyone didn't move, but looked like they were used to it, so they didn't have any extra movements, looked at the fantastic scene in front of him curiously, and let a ball of light float in front of him.
I raised my hand and touched it, but I didn't feel anything, and when I put my hand in the white light, it was no different from touching the air, as if the light in front of me was just an illusion.
The white light ball slowly integrated into his body at the same time as Mu Yan's hand touched it, and his body did not feel the slightest discomfort, Mu Yan raised his hand and found that there was a dark green dot on the back of his hand.
"This is a mark used to sense the direction" Cora lazily gave Mu Yan science on the side, "A zero-level small spell, mainly used to sense our location, as long as you become a wizard or have magic power, you can release it, you are not a hunter, you don't know, you have the mark planted by the wizard in our town, don't make a fuss." ”
"It's an amazing thing!" Mu Yan sighed, his eyes showing yearning.
Cora smiled and looked at Mu Yan, who was looking at the imprint on his hand, as if he saw the young self back then, when he first came into contact with this magical power, he also showed such a longing look, but the reality is always cruel, he shook his head, some things are already destined by nature......
He could understand Mu Yan, many young people would inevitably yearn for this kind of power when they came into contact with it, because in the town, wizards have always been the unattainable and lofty image in people's hearts, and the magic controlled by them is omnipotent and powerful.
Although this is indeed the case, for the hunters, a group at the top of the village, wizards are not as mysterious as the legend, they are the real decision-makers of the town, and they are also incomparably strong, for ordinary people may not see each other in a lifetime, but for hunters with a bit of status, as long as it is a major meeting, they can be seen.
Every young man has a heart to become a wizard! I don't know who said it, but it's been circulating in the town.
Wizards are the highest combat power that can be achieved in the Shadow Forest, and they are the best measure of the strength of a race, and it is difficult for a race without wizards to survive in the vast Shadow Forest, unless they make up their minds to become a vassal race of other races with wizards, just like many small races that are attached to the Terrans.
Of course, the particularity of wizards only exists in the Shadow Forest, because this was once the base camp of the Shadow Wizards, although they are well protected, but under the development of the major races in the Shadow Forest year after year, some small ruins have been gradually developed, and the abundant wizard resources in this era of early severance of diplomatic relations with the outside world are simply the gospel of all wizards, correspondingly, the development of other systems is much behind, so it has led to the status quo of wizards standing at the highest point of power.
Having a wizard is not only a representation of the clan's combat prowess, but also its ability to survive and thrive in the Shadow Forest. If a group wants to survive in the Shadow Forest, the regional curses left in the forest and the various powerful monsters are the first test they will face. And the wizard is the main force to solve these problems, and it is also the only profession that can solve these problems.
When the team walked into the door, the wild boar people in the team all skillfully walked back to their residences, leaving the six brothers of the hunting team and the three brothers of the wild boar people looking at each other.
The heavy iron door closed together again with a dull crash.
"Havimer Tmiran! Steel Shield Camp One Tooth Shaman! The wild boar man, who was called "second brother" by Kao Ruzhu, bowed slightly to Bell and spoke.
His voice is not as rough and hoarse as Zhu Ruzhu, but clear and calm, and he speaks like a spring breeze, which is easy to make people feel close. Of course, if you ignore his and Kao Ruzhu's strong body.
Bell hurriedly bowed back, and he was still a little flattered by a wizard who made such a big salute.
Although he also knew that the proportion of wizards in the boar people was much higher than that of the human race, among them, although the wizards also had extraordinary status, some small wizards were not much different from ordinary boar warriors, for example, the Havemer in front of him was only one level higher than Kaoruzhu, and he was not the ultimate ruler in this camp!
"Dear Shaman, we are the Terran Falcon Division, the sixth squad, and I am the captain - Bell!" Bell replied respectfully, and all the hunters behind him bowed with him, which was the respect that the Terrans should have for wizards.
"Yes!" Havemer nodded, obviously satisfied with the respect of the humans, "Everyone, please come with me, and I'll take you to meet the Grand Commander!" ”
With that, Havemer turned and shook his staff in the air as he walked towards the largest oval in the camp.
The crowd followed, and behind them the burning braziers gradually dimmed, and the torches that had been burning smaller and smaller, and finally completely extinguished, and the steel gate was once again plunged into darkness.
The light is in front, and there is darkness behind him, Mu Yan walks in it, like a messenger who spreads darkness, and the yearning for this power in his heart becomes stronger and stronger. Who doesn't aspire to such power? There was a look of determination in his eyes.
Pushing open the door, Mu Yan saw five long dining tables, each column could seat nearly fifty or sixty people, the volume of these tables basically accounted for half of the entire oval hall, and a quarter of the remaining half was located at the front and back ends, one was the door they entered, and the other also had a dining table, but it was more exquisite than the five long dining tables, obviously for the high-ranking wild boar people in the camp. The other quarter is a small bar with drinks and food.
Obviously, this is the place for the boar people to hold banquets and discuss business.
Mu Yan squinted, the first time he entered the door, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression, and the muscles in his body unconsciously tightened, since he had met that terrifying monster that night, his perception of this invisible momentum has become more and more acute, although this sense of oppression is a little worse than that monster, but compared with Bell, Kao Ruzhu, this first-class person has far surpassed.
He raised his eyes and looked ahead, at the front of the hall, directly in front of them, a huge boar man sat there, just looking at his upper body, his thick arms no longer have the usual smoothness of wild boar people, the muscles bulging up and down his body, all showing his great strength, looking along the smooth muscle curve, the slightly bowed back looks like a carved marble, smooth and solid and powerful!
The sound of the crowd entering the door seemed to startle him, and he looked up, his large, muscular hands pinching the leg of a roast chicken and biting it in half......
