110 Clearing the wilderness
Beyond Twilight is a dense broad-leaved forest, with knotted roots, a stout body that requires several people to hug, a flourishing canopy, shaded by the sky, shrouded in mist, even when the sun is at its strongest, it is as dark as evening, it is the famous Δ.『kge』
The forest path extends nearly a kilometer outwards to the end, and the end of the road means the boundary of the danger zone, not only will you encounter the terrifying saprophytic beasts, but you will also get lost in the wasteland without a road, and once lost, the probability of encountering danger will increase geometrically.
The area of the Clearing Wilderness mission is bounded at the end of the trail and extends another kilometer, and the team must kill any hostile creatures they encounter in the rectangular area.
It's a squad-based mission, but it's allowed for 50 squads to participate, so it's a regional teamwork mission and the risk is much lower.
Charlie's team came out of Twilight, with three squads in front of them and behind them, and only after walking to the end of the road did the teams begin to go their separate ways.
Unfortunately, there are no Eagle Eye flasks, as the vision bonuses and dark vision provided by these flasks are very valuable in the current environment.
Qingtong advised: "Charlie, our team does not have a combat officer, once we encounter agile creatures, I am afraid it will be very passive, we must be mentally prepared." ”
"Leave this question to me. Charlie took out the twilight longbow, and the arrows on the bowstring were somewhat special, and the diamond-shaped arrows lingered with a faint golden light.
A miniature version of the "Holy Flame", combined with a "Activate" basic magic pattern, after the arrow hits the object, the Holy Flame will burst out of the arrow and invade the body.
Charlie personally enchanted each arrow, and after each arrow was given the mark of the Holy Flame, it had a new name "Holy Light Arrow", and its value skyrocketed hundreds of times, with a one-hit kill effect for ordinary undead creatures, and an additional damage effect for creatures with a shadow affinity physique.
Charlie has no less than two dozen Holy Light Arrows in the quiver on his left waist, in addition to the Holy Light Arrow, there are three arrows of different colors in the quiver on the right waist, they are "Split Arrows", and they are also the enchanted arrows that Charlie saw the archers use when he was attacked by the demon wolf in the Elwyn Woodland, but the split arrows he processed with starlight ink have a stronger effect.
The Split Arrow Demon Pattern is an excellent compound magic pattern discovered in recent years, because of its excellent group injury effect, after its release, it was enthusiastically sought after, and soon spread to the entire Wagland Continent.
Charlie found the only compound magic pattern he could master at the moment in the "Twenty World-Changing Compound Magic Patterns" given to him by Master Nal, and finally made a few finished products yesterday.
At this moment, Charlie walked at the front of the team, followed by Davy by his side, Qianxue and Erin walked in the middle of the team, and Qingtong and Colin held the back of the team, a battle formation.
Seeing the timid appearance of the others, Charlie smiled and pointed to his eyes, "Don't be nervous, the surroundings are under my surveillance, and I haven't found anything abnormal yet." ”
As he spoke, Charlie's hand froze in mid-air.
"What's wrong?" Davy couldn't help but ask.
Hush!
Chiyuki gestured.
Charlie quickly and smoothly took out the longbow, and the Holy Light Arrow pulled out a beautiful stream of fireflies, which sank into the shallow grass, only to see a breath of white light flickering, and a painful hiss came from the grass, and the sound instantly collapsed.
"Good archery!"
Colin gave a thumbs up, ready to go and see what it was. As he approached the grass, a fireball flew in from a distance, hitting the pile of grass, bursting and sparks flying.
A strong wave of air knocked Colin to the ground, almost setting him on fire, startling him, and lying on the ground, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
Soon, a team of six appeared in front of the fire and extinguished the flames with a frost spell.
Shield axeman, archer, mage, healer, the class match is quite perfect, and not only that, but their apprentice badge shows that this is a group of second-year students.
Charlie looked angry and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Creatures in the wild, those who see them have a share!" a young man said to Charlie with a smile.
"But I killed it!"
Charlie's gaze fell on the burned creature, a shadow leopard, and although it seemed that the flames had done enough damage, the black blood that could spill from its mouth showed that the Holy Flame had burned its internal organs before the fireball hit, and the arrow killed it with a single blow.
The young man shrugged, "We've been staring at it for a long time, and your bow and arrow have the upper hand, so let's follow the custom of Twilight Town to handle disagreements, and those who see it have a share!"
For your sake, its head belongs to you, and the most valuable part can be exchanged for 5 points!"
"What if I say no?"
The young man smiled, "I know your name is Charlie, the strongest freshman in the first year of the main house, and I also know that you just picked three necromantic apprentices in a row.
You're good at magic, you're good at physical fitness, and you're good at archery, and you're not weak in personal strength, but with a bunch of pig-like teammates, our team can easily defeat you!
Did you just annoy all the necromancy apprentices and fall out with the people of the main courtyard again?"
Colin said angrily, "You're just taking advantage of the upper grades!
The young man smiled and said, "Yes, I am the senior student! You must understand this, not all first-year students can successfully enter the second year, on the long road of further study, you may fall, you may be eliminated by the academy, or you may stay in the first year for several years, you see that the gap between the first grade and the second grade is so big!"
Charlie took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Qing Tong, "Don't go!"
"Leave its head behind, and you can go. ”
The young man laughed evilly, "It's still a beautiful little sister who is reasonable!"
The knife and axe hand on the opposite side smiled at Qing Tong, raised the axe, raised the knife in his hand, cut off the claws and tail of the shadow leopard respectively, and walked away.
Seeing their disappearing figures, David was indignant, "The atmosphere here is really bad!"
"It's normal!" Qing Tong glanced at Charlie and said, "If it weren't for Charlie's sake just now, I think they would definitely take over the whole prey!
Things have developed to this, Charlie can only sigh and suppress the unhappiness in his heart, in fact, that person is right, Charlie is shackled by the team, otherwise, with his temper, even if he can't fight head-on, he must pester them well, let them taste the taste of being hanged.
Charlie said in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen the creatures around us, so we shouldn't be so nervous!
Colin nodded: "It's okay, I can't be provoked, I can't hide!"
With the deepening of the inspection, Charlie's team gradually touched some simple rules of the game, and summed up "strength is respected" in one word: the powerful team can run rampant and domineering around them, and those who are not strong enough will take the initiative to give up, of course, most of the strong teams will not appear in the list of contention, and it is quite rare to encounter the second-year team, one is unwilling to lose its value, and the freshman team grabs resources;
Therefore, most of the difficulty of the task of clearing the wilderness is not in the strength of the prey itself, but in how to solve the differences between the teams, such as the differences encountered by Charlie's team for the first time, which can be regarded as solving the problem in a relatively civilized way.
In many cases, the prey has to be fought with fists, and the process of this fight is not harmonious, and it can even lead to fatal accidents, and since the fight takes place in the wilderness, it is a free act, and no one cares about these things.
Soon, the team gradually adapted to this rule under the leadership of Charlie, and let the people around realize that a strong team has officially risen, and many undead apprentice teams will directly give up their prey when they see Charlie.
And at this time, in a corner of the dense forest, several black shadows are hidden in the dark, and the black gas is emanating from the steaming black air, if someone looks at them with the naked eye, they will feel that there is a cloud of different levels of darkness in front of them, rich and viscous, and suddenly open their eyes and stare at it, they will find that several figures are mixed with the darkness from time to time, making it difficult to distinguish, and once the gaze has been for a long time, the eyes will be dry and astringent, and they will be blurred.
"Did the fish take the bait?"
"Almost!"
"So, isn't it time for the Shadow Thorn to strike?"
"Understood. ”
Among them, a figure shrouded in gray robes gradually faded and disappeared without a trace.
Charlie's team was busy for a morning, collecting the complete and valid credentials of the three shadow leopards, the heads, claws and tails, which can be exchanged for complete points, and killing two rotting insects, collecting the body fluids of the rotting insects, plus a half-cooked shadow leopard head, estimated to be equivalent to 61 points, evenly spread, 10 points each.
It doesn't seem like a lot, but compared to many squads that don't earn 10 points in a day, this is quite a lot of income, after all, the requirement for each team member is 300 points for the entire free mission season.
Colin said, "At this rate, it will only take a month, and we can go back to the academy. ”
"Brother, that's not how it is counted, the academy task is not every day, it is good to have one twice a week, the problem is that it may not be your turn to pick it up, you are simply thinking too much!"
Colin smirked.
"So, it's too much for the academy to set such a high goal!" Qianxue said as she chewed on her dry food, she didn't like the environment of Twilight Town very much, and always hoped to end the mission here as soon as possible.
Watching everyone chatting, Charlie didn't interject, just ate while resting.
Qingtong said coldly to Charlie, "What's wrong?"
The members of the team stopped talking and moving in tacit agreement, and they especially admired Charlie's keen perception.
Charlie shook his head and hesitated, "I heard some movement, I'm not sure." ”
Fifty meters away, a faint shadow receded, disappearing into the shadows of the trees.
