Chapter 32: The Red-Eyed Raven
"Red-eyed crow, did we encounter it when we first came, and was killed by Mentor Dorot, and it seemed to use a spell related to acid corrosion?"
"We rushed there as best we could, and began to patrol, and this mission required us to bring the right paws of ten red-eyed crows as proof of our mission...... Do you have any questions?"
Créwell finally asked, very much like a leader, and when they saw Leylin, they all shook their heads, and continued: "Since everyone is teammates now, don't hide it, each report their approximate strength, and let everyone understand! I'll come first!"
"Créwell, a knight-level body, has mastered secret methods, and can also have a zero-level spell!"
"Créwell, I didn't expect you to have learned spells, it seems that you are ahead of me...... Ni Lan, a knight-level body, has mastered the secret method, and I am still learning the zero-level spell - Tired Hand, but I can't use it yet!"
"Lilith, I...... I've also trained as a knight, and the instructor said that I'm good at darts, and I don't know how to spell yet!" Lilith was a little shy.
"Lan Nuo, a reserve knight, doesn't know spells, but my bow skills are good!" Unexpectedly, Crewell and Ni Lan had already started to learn spells, Lan Nuo blushed a little, and then patted the wooden bow behind his back, "Don't worry, I won't drag you down!"
"Leylin, a reserve knight, has mastered a spell at the moment!" Leylin touched his nose.
"Even you have mastered spells...... Oh! I'm sorry!" Lan Nuo was a little distracted, he and Lei Lin came together, so he naturally knew that Lei Lin's qualifications were only third-class, but he didn't expect that the other party's strength had already begun to surpass his fourth-rank.
"It's okay!" Leylin shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.
In fact, as long as the resources can keep up, Lan Nuo's meditation speed is far above him, but Lan Nuo does not have so many magic stones in exchange for knowledge and some precious resources, and he has begun to be gradually compared to him.
"You deserve to be Lord Leilin! Do you know what people outside say about you?" Ni Lan had admiration in her eyes.
"Oh, I'd like to hear what other people have to say!"
"A rare genius in pharmacy in fifty years! If you didn't already have a mentor, several other pharmacy professors would definitely invite you to become their personal disciple!" Ni Lan cleared her throat, and the stars in her eyes were about to pop up.
Looking at Ni Lan's fiery gaze, as well as the faces of Lilith and Lan Nuo, Lei Lin smiled a little bitterly.
In order to do his best to sell potions, he had to disguise himself as a very talented potion apprentice, and fortunately, there was Merlin senior on top of him to attract firepower for him, otherwise he would have received even more attention.
"By the way, Lei Lin, the potions you usually sell are enough to exchange for resources, right?
Lan Nuo asked in a low voice.
"It's a bit boring to stay in the academy all the time, and I've just learned spells, so I need to be proficient!"
Lei Lin's main purpose is to accumulate experience and prepare for going out alone to find black market channels in the future, but of course this can't be said.
"Okay! This is the end of the gossip! Although our destination is not too far, there are many troubles along the way! If we don't do it again, it will be dark!"
Créwell clapped his hands, took the machete in his hand, and walked to the front.
"Let's go!" followed Leylin.
"I want to be with you!" Ni Lan walked beside Lei Lin, undisguised her pursuit.
Then came Lilith, followed by Lanno.
"Be careful! there is still an open space near the Academy, and it will be much more dangerous to enter the forest now!" Crèvel reminded as he walked.
Lei Lin ignored Ni Lan on the side, cheered up, and the detection of the chip was turned on to the maximum.
This was his first exposure to the dangerous outside world, and he couldn't afford not to be cautious.
The Black Bone Forest Academy is located in the depths of a black forest, above the academy is a dilapidated cemetery, surrounded by only some low grass and shrubs, not much danger, but after entering the forest, there are countless trees to hide, it has always been a holy place for many creatures to hunt, Lei Lin remembers, they were attacked in the Black Forest in the first place.
"Warning! Warning! Unknown creature is found approaching, threatening the main body: light!"
With the sound of the chip, in Lei Lin's vision, the light blue lines formed a three-dimensional picture, and from the picture, Lei Lin could clearly see that a red line was winding towards this side.
"Whew!"
A dark shadow suddenly emerged from the grass and bit Crewell's neck.
Créwell's face remained unchanged, and the black knife in his hand turned into an arc, bouncing the black shadow away.
The black shadow fell to the ground, revealing its original form, a black snake more than a meter long, with only one vertical eye on the triangular head, and faint blood marks around the scales.
"It's a one-eyed snake, be careful of its venom!" Ni Lan reminded in a loud voice.
At this moment, Lilith, who was following behind, suddenly struck, and three throwing knives flew out from three directions, shooting towards the one-eyed snake.
The one-eyed snake suddenly shrank, dodging two throwing knives, and the last one slashed past the snake's body, bringing up a trail of blood.
"Hey!" Créwell suddenly stepped forward, and the black machete slashed through the snake head of the one-eyed snake, and the black blade shone with a cold light, and cut off the snake head of the one-eyed snake in one fell swoop!
The body of the snake with its head lost was coiled in a circle, and the gap was still bleeding.
"Ah!" exclaimed Lilith.
"It's dead, it's just a natural reaction of the body, haven't you studied neurology?"
"This one-eyed snake only has its poison sac and snake skin and some use, if any of you want it, hurry up and collect the materials, the smell of blood will soon attract other animals!" Créwell put away his knife and said slowly.
"I'm coming!" Lan Nuo stepped forward, and after some busyness, the five of them continued on their way.
"Chip! Did you record the data just now?"
"Ding! Recorded!Wire One-Eyed Snake: Snake Subspecies Strength: 1.1 Agility: 2.1 Constitution: 1.6 Blood samples have been collected, muscle tissue composition has been recorded!"
The feedback from the chip is very timely. Leylin nodded, quickening his pace.
Ten days later, a place in the Black Forest.
A red-eyed crow flutters between the branches with its bright eyes open, combing its feathers from time to time.
"Whew!" Suddenly, a white arrow fired.
"Quack!" the red-eyed crow fluttered away, and on its way to dodge, three more white rays of light shot out, wrapped in three silver throwing knives.
The red-eyed crow flashed in a graceful arc, dodging the throwing knife and landing in a clearing.
"Kill!" A figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes on the side, holding black knives in both hands, slashing at the red-eyed crow, it turned out that the bow and arrow and the throwing knife just now were all about forcing the red-eyed crow to the ground.
The black blade slashed at the red-eyed crow with a strong wind.
"Quack!!!" the red-eyed crow cried loudly, making an unpleasant noise.
The crow's red eyes flashed with a human glint of annoyance, and a pair of black claws met the black knife.
Clang!!!
Although the red-eyed crow was larger than the average crow, it was only about the size of a rooster, and it actually used its claws to repel the knight with the black knife.
"Quack!" the red-eyed crow cried, a few black feathers floating down from his body.
When the knight retreated, the red-eyed crow actually pounced directly, and its sharp claws grabbed directly at the knight's face!
"Pandora-Gregor!"
A quick spell sounded, and a cloud of green solution suddenly flew out and hit the red-eyed crow.
The white mist continued to rise!! and the screams of red-eyed crows.
After a few seconds, the red-eyed crow's screams were completely gone, and all that remained was a large pit in the ground, with a few feathers that had not had time to corrode.
"It's all right!
There was a stirring in the bushes, and several figures emerged.
The knight shook his head, "It's okay! Although the red-eyed crow has knight-level strength and can fly, it is not an opponent of a human with weapons on the ground after all!"
He looked at the man in the middle again: "Thunderlin!
"It's everyone's cooperation!" Lei Lin smiled.
Crewell then went to the edge of the pit, used a branch to remove the feathers from the pit, and picked out two black paws.
The edges of the black claws were sharp and glowing, as if to tell the story of the original owner's difficulty.
"The acid sputter is powerful, but it has also corroded the red-eyed crow to the point that there is nothing left but the hardest claws...... "Créwell was a little sorry.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Lei Lin, if you want to take down this red-eyed crow, you might have to pay what price!"
"It's too!" Créwell put the black knife back into its scabbard, he was much more mature now, and he knew that Ni Lan had always had a bit of a poisonous tongue, and he was not very angry.
"Plus this red-eyed crow, we've hunted enough of them, next, do you want to go back to the academy and hand in the mission?"
Looking at the somewhat tired Lanno and the others, Créwell asked.
"Of course we're going back! It's too dangerous in the forest, we can't even sleep well at night!" Ni Lan said immediately.
The other two Lilith and Lan Nuo also nodded quickly.
Lei Lin also felt a little tired, the Black Forest was full of dangers, even if he had a chip reminder, he was worried for several days, and his spirit was very tired, and now he began to miss the hot water and beds in the academy.
"Okay, let's go back first!"
Créwell put away the claws of the red-eyed crow with some pity, "It's a pity! With our strength, we can hunt more red-eyed crows, these crows are worth a lot more than the previous one-eyed snake......
"Magic stones can't be earned, but our current squad members are almost consumed, and they have reached a more dangerous line, if they don't return to the academy without enough, I'm afraid that there will be mistakes and even casualties in the next hunt!"
Lei Lin's voice was cold, he had always been a level-headed person, and he would not be bound by the slightest interest in front of him.
"Okay, then let's go back!"
Crewell only groaned slightly, then nodded in agreement.
Hearing Créwell's words, the faces of the other four people were much better, and even Ni Lan, who had a bit of a poisonous tongue, had a smile on her face.
The group hastily packed up and embarked on the return journey.
