Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 073 Fishing Fire Manor II
I remember riding a horse-drawn carriage on the way from Skyrim to the Arcane Ring, missing out on many breathtaking sights, but today, I finally have the opportunity to feast my eyes.
Charlie thought that under the raging storm of the Void, the wilderness should be desolate, full of bare stones and lifeless.
In fact, on the contrary, the wasteland is covered with dense gray-brown nameless grass, which is elastic and powerful when stepped on, and will not be deformed if you step on it.
The shape of the trees is also very different from common sense, the rhizomes are extraordinarily fat, the branches are tough and twisted, there are no leaves, and some have a few small flowers, which are born directly on the fat torso, which is very awkward.
The adaptability of life is amazing, no matter how harsh the environment, there is always life that can grow tenaciously.
After walking about three kilometers outside, the turbulent energy flow around me gradually calmed down.
Qianzhu turned off the switch of the copper lamp, "If you encounter a tide of sudden energy, the first reaction is to find a way to avoid it, to this area, the scale of the tide will not be particularly large, you really can't avoid it, open a holy light barrier by yourself, and resist the energy tide has a miraculous effect."
Charlie, the secondary light barrier is also effective, and I will be there to assist you. ”
Charlie knew that this was meant for him, so he nodded.
Qianji specially advised: "If there is a large-scale storm, everyone approaches me, understand?"
Vincent replied, "Okay! No need to emphasize it every time, only your little brother here doesn't know the situation!"
To be reasonable, this guy is a bit aggressive, and Charlie is a little upset.
Maybe seeing Charlie is quite pleasing to the eye, Leon said: "Vincent, there is no need to target children in everything, just do your part." ”
Vincent snorted lightly, dismissive.
Charlie smiled indifferently, not as knowledgeable as him.
"I'm going to cast light magic on everyone, there may be a fast-paced march, and we'll try to get to the Fishing Fire Manor as soon as possible. ”
The group quickened their pace.
"Stop!" Not long after the start, Qianju beckoned to stop everyone.
A gray-brown lizard appeared a hundred meters away, about two meters long, its body color was extremely close to the environmental color, and it was easy to ignore its presence if you were not careful.
Soon, Charlie spotted the same lizards in front left and right front, respectively, no wonder Qian stopped everyone and had to make a big circle to avoid the beasts.
"Wasteland lizard?" Leon frowned.
Qianzhu asked, "Is it to kill?" or to wind."
The two ladies did not take a stand.
Leon said: "These reptiles are running too fast, I can't do anything about them, you two can kill the decide!"
Qian Zhu hesitated: "These three are too close together, I use magic to kill, I'm afraid of attracting the other two, in case one escapes, don't think about being quiet in the back, this kind of reptile is the most resentful!"
Ophelia interjected, "Brother Qianju, Vincent, and me, one for each person, isn't it okay?"
A smile overflowed the corner of Vincent's mouth, and he said, "I don't have a problem, I can come alone, archers!
Leon finally made a decision, "Just to be on the safe side, let Vincent come, and you two will be on the sidelines to supervise the battle, ready to fill in the gaps at any time." ”
"Okay. ”
At this time, Charlie silently removed the twilight longbow, but unexpectedly, a small movement triggered an unexpectedly violent reaction.
Vincent glanced at Charlie's actions and sneered, "What do you mean? What do you mean? Do you think I'll shoot in the air? Or is your archery better? Why don't you come, since you, a magic apprentice, want to show off so much, let you show off enough at once!"
With that, Vincent put down his bow and stepped aside.
What a fiery temper?!Charlie doesn't accept it, nor does it put it, it's very embarrassing.
Leon's face was pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Charlie, remember you promised me? See more, move less, okay? Don't make it difficult for me!"
In this situation, it is not easy for Qianzhu to speak for Charlie.
Teresa couldn't bear it a little and softly called out Leon's name.
Leon tilted his head and said, "Don't get involved, I'm the captain, and I'm responsible for the whole team!
It seems that Leon is also a very principled man, even if his crush intercedes for Charlie, he is unmoved.
Charlie spread his hands and said, "I didn't even pull out the arrow, as for me? I'm not stupid, I know team discipline? Don't react so violently, okay?"
Leon nodded at Charlie and said, "Remember your own words, this is not a freshman mission, don't come nonsense!"
Charlie took a deep breath, suppressed the strong unhappiness in his heart, and spit out two words: "Understood!"
As he spoke, Leon turned to Vincent and said, "Okay, don't be so tsundere, like a woman, let's shoot!"
Vincent took out an exaggerated longbow on his back, this bow was 1.5 meters long, the back of the bow was made of a complete piece of hardwood, and the bow surface was attached to the polished black horns to strengthen the strength of the bow.
Then, putting on his finger guards, Vincent took out three arrows and stuck them in the ground in front of him, and he threw them aside.
What a strong self-confidence!Is it really only three arrows?!
Vincent twisted a long arrow, his bow was particularly long, and the length of the arrow was dozens of centimeters longer than that of ordinary arrows.
The moment Vincent lifted the arrow and pulled the bow, a full of confidence appeared on his body, and even the arrow seemed to have an inexplicable layer of pride, giving people the feeling of being sure to hit.
As the longbow was pulled to the extreme, Vincent's face turned red, and the huge pull in the chip field of vision, rubbing upward, the others couldn't help but hold their breath, silently watching his next move.
Boom!
A crunch sounded and shook the heartstrings, and the arrow departed at an indescribable speed.
The trajectory of the arrow has been measured by the chip, and there is no doubt that it will be inserted into the lizard's head, Charlie can't help but sigh, this guy is proud, and the level of archery is indeed not low.
However, the next moment the unexpected happened.
Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit.
Under the rapid vision of the chip, the lizard's spine shook violently like a spring, quickly reversed direction, and the four short legs quickly paddled like flying on the water, moving several meters sideways, and the speed became faster and faster, fleeing outward.
Charlie monitored the whole field, knew the situation well, took arrows, drew bows, and shot in one go.
With a whoosh, the long arrow pierced the lizard's afterimage and sank into the mud, without even touching the lizard's tail.
At this time, another arrow seemed to predict its trajectory, penetrated the lizard's skull, pinned the lizard to the ground, and under the action of huge inertia, rolled forward a few times, motionless, and died on the spot.
Luckily, a strong void tide swept over one side, obscuring the movement here, and two lizards in the distance closed their sensory organs, as still as dead things, carrying the blowing of the energy tide.
Killing the lizard with one arrow, without stimulating the lizards on both sides, instantly turned around, and everyone's hearts suffered a huge impact.
Ophelia only covered her mouth and was stunned, and the danger was eliminated.
Qian Zhu dissipated the frost energy in his hand and praised: "Well done!"
Vincent froze in place, very embarrassed, he was very unconvinced, he blamed the bowstring for trembling too loudly, which startled the beast, and it had such a strange spatial leaping ability, so that the arrows missed.
However, others don't care about the process, they only look at the result: he misses the arrow, and Charlie hits it in a hurry.
Leon glared at Charlie, patted Vincent on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it seems that your name as 'Wind Arrow' is about to be snatched away by a junior!"
Teresa smiled back, "Charlie, good archery!"
Ophelia couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Awesome! Little brother, shoot fast and accurate!"
Qianzhu smiled and said, "Coquettish heart, I had a fight back then! Let me see your bow." ”
Qianzhu took the twilight longbow from Charlie's hand, stretched his arm, and only pulled it halfway, his white face turned red, he roared, and pulled it hard, so that he could pull the bowstring full.
Leon asked in surprise, "Also a hard bow?"
Qian Qi calmed his breath, "Yes, the strongest pulling force is about 120 kilograms!"
Leon held out his hand to him, "Let me try." ”
Qianju feigned anger: "You still don't believe me!"
Leon puffed out his thick arms and easily pulled it away, taking a closer look, "That's right!
Leon glanced at Charlie in surprise, "A 120-kilogram strong bow, you can pull it 13 times, and you can be admitted to our War Warrior Academy." ”
Qianju reminded: "Okay, do the right thing, kill the other two first, who of you will come?"
Vincent is eager to give it a try, and Charlie is not in a hurry to perform, he has proven himself and has the ability to fill in the gaps.
Leon muttered: "Vincent, you don't have to draw a full bow, a really strong archer must be able to retract and release freely, this lizard's defense ability is not strong, you are not satisfied with the bow, the movement is not so big, maybe it can't dodge that arrow." ”
"Okay!" Vincent's heart was filled with warmth, but the boss still understood himself and understood the situation just now.
"Charlie, I'll allow you to oversee the battle!" Leon's words made Vincent choke a wave of internal wounds.
Vincent learned the lesson of the first arrow, and the next two arrows did not make the same mistake and easily killed the two lizards.
Ophelia said happily, "Let's deal with them, shall we have a few more points in the account!"
Qianju smiled and said: "Little Ophelia is really virtuous, whoever marries you is really blessed, being a housekeeper, and the family is becoming more and more prosperous." ”
Ophelia held her hot face and giggled.
Leon knocked her and said, "I think you're thinking too much, and before completing the task, you still think about some miscellaneous things to increase the unnecessary weight!"
Qian Jue restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Okay, no kidding! The threat has been lifted, our goal is the Fishing Fire Manor, everyone keep up with the rhythm and don't fall behind!"
The two-hour march, through a saltwater wetland and two rivers, made a long detour, nine kilometers in a straight line, and nearly twenty kilometers in order to avoid encounters with wild beasts as much as possible.
Climbing up a mound, I finally heard the sound of the tide, and a smell of fishy wet air rushed towards my face.
