Chapter 13: Depth and Battle
"Remember Rhett? Your ex-boyfriend, that cool guy, he's dead. By...... Died outside the Cloak Forest, with his wives. ”
Continuing deeper into the forest, Lu Yuan opened a path in the bushes, Twilight Star whispered to Xiaoxue, and the snow wolf also whined in response.
"What?! You have a new boyfriend now?! What does it look like? Is it handsome? Hehehe~ What am I going to do? I wanted to go to Rhett's turf and find out who had kicked my friend out of his home. ”
The white wolf Xiaoxue swooped out from the edge of Lu Yuan, startling him. After a while, the white wolf ran back, with a big snake in his mouth covered with blood, and looking at the shape of his head, it was a poisonous snake. Xiaoxue threw the snake's corpse at the feet of the two people and whined a few times.
"Uh-huh," Twilight said approvingly, patting Snow on the head, "Snow is amazing." Well, he's not. Ah, that's natural, we don't laugh at him......"
Are you saying bad things about me?! I must be speaking ill of me in a language I don't understand! Lu Yuan roared in his heart, and hatefully picked up the poisonous snake and threw it into his backpack. Seeing that Twilight Star and Xiaoxue were both looking at him with a little disdain, they immediately yelled in annoyance, "I'll make snake soup at night!" No one is allowed to eat it! ”
"Xiaoxue, tell me about your new boyfriend."
"Woo~Woo~"
An elf and a white wolf, the two women turned their heads and continued to chat enthusiastically, pretending not to hear Lu Yuan's roar.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, half a day's way from Brad's lair, that the two found a small clearing where they could set up camp. When the white wolf arrives, Xiaoxue whines and leaves, and Twilight Star smiles mysteriously, and does not answer any questions about Xiaoxue, but just urges the meal to be served.
There is no water nearby, and Twilight uses magic to create 12 gallons of pure water after praying. After tidying up the camp, Lu Yuan lit a fire to cook, slaughtered snakes and cooked, and Twilight Star silently learned while fighting. Whenever this happens, Lu Yuan feels that Twilight Star is too independent. While she is constantly helping others, she rarely accepts help from others. She found magic convenient, so she learned two magics. I thought cooking was delicious, so I learned how to cook. I don't think I've ever thought about simply forming a fixed partner. In the psychological analysis of modern society, such a character is a character with obvious flaws, which will not be able to find a job and will be lonely for life. But in the magical world, it is not possible to talk about a creature with a lifespan of thousands of years, and it is the right choice not to get too close to humans.
The opposite of being withdrawn is being less hurt, and he doesn't know what Lu Dao is for, Lu Yuan feels that he understands this kind of thinking very well.
The pot of the snake soup hung on the shelf and boiled slowly, and it was necessary to boil a pot into a milky white soup, Lu Yuan kept throwing in mushrooms, wild vegetables and other hand-picked materials, and the fragrance of the soup spread. When Twilight Star saw this, he immediately anxiously found a lid to cover it, and then took out a large chunk of raw meat steak from Lu Yuan's space bag and grilled it. It was a wild boar that two people killed a while ago, and there was still a lot left after eating it intermittently. The pork chops are sprinkled with strong spices and roasted over the fire, and the squeaky grease falls into the campfire, igniting small bright flames that quickly overshadow the aroma of the snake soup, and Twilight smiles childishly.
Lu Yuan looked at this smile with some indulgence across the bonfire, and was glared at by Twilight, who couldn't stand the teasing.
Sure enough, the snake soup was cooked, the meat steak was grilled, and Xiaoxue Shi came back with a meal.
I knew it was a foodie! Lu Yuan complained angrily.
Xiaoxue didn't pay any attention to him, first rubbing Twilight Star, and then turning back to the woods and screaming a few times, her voice revealing a ...... Encouraging tone? After a while, a slightly smaller white wolf came out of the woods hesitantly, and stopped at Lu Yuan's side, and stopped without passing through the fire with Twilight. Of course, it just glanced at Lu Yuan quickly, as if this person didn't exist, although it looked like it didn't care, but all its attention was on Xiaoxue and Twilight.
"Xiaoxue, is this your child?"
"Woo! Woo!"
"Ahh It turned out to be a new boyfriend! So much smaller than you, isn't that Lu ...... Does the old cow that Lu Yuan said eat tender grass? ”
"Woo~!" Xiaoxue turned her head to Lu Yuan and bared her teeth, and the boyfriend wolf beside him also looked at him with unkind eyes.
"Oh, that...... Hey? What's going on here? Lu Yuan looked around for a way to change the topic, and suddenly saw a long wound on the little white wolf's buttocks, which was still dark blue, and took the opportunity to shout.
Twilight walked over and grabbed the little white wolf and examined it carefully. The little white wolf squirmed and dodged, and was bitten by Xiaoxue who was guarding the side, and then honestly remained motionless, which is really a strict wife. "There are still toxins left in the wound, so it can't heal." Twilight Star said as she performed "Remove Toxin" and "Heal Moderate Damage" in succession, and the little white wolf's wound healed visibly.
"Is this wound ......" Twilight and the little white wolf began to communicate in an incomprehensible language again, and after a while, Twilight changed to a lingua franca again, "Is it a big bird?" Tail with a hook? Well, it's a pterodactyl. But how could there be pterosaurs here? The pterodactyl nests I know are all on the shore of the Cloak Forest, humid and well-fed, and that's where they like to live. ”
"Speaking of big birds, I seem to have seen a few in this direction at sunset yesterday, and they seem to be pterosaurs." Lu Yuan interjected, and by the way, he took out the latest version of the "Encyclopedia of Monsters Around Baldur's Gate" from the bag, and flipped to the instructions of the pterosaur.
"Pterodactyls are giant flying lizards with giant venomous tail spines, and they are a type of wurm. The pterosaur's dark brown or gray body was 15 feet long, half of which was the length of its tail, its wingspan was about 20 feet, and it weighed about a ton...... Pterodactyls attack with their claws while flying, and alternate between biting and stinging when they land...... A senior squad of more than six people is recommended to conduct a round-up. ”
"The attack method is single, except for flying, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to deal with." After Lu Yuan finished reading, he raised his head and said.
"And, drop that stupid book of yours." Twilight waved his hand, "What a senior squad." Weigh a ton! 20 feet wingspan! The big guy swooped down, no one could stop it, and we tried not to provoke it. ”
The cry of "Woo~woo~" came, and the two of them looked back. Sure enough, the stupid little white wolf was nibbling on the roasted meat steak, but the clever Xiaoxue had already bypassed the meat steak and arched the soup pot with her nose, whining and making noise. Twilight made a helpless expression and pulled a new clay pot out of her backpack.
Lu Yuan patted her and motioned to reassure her. Then he uncovered the soup pot, scooped out a piece of snake meat with a spoon, put it in a new clay pot, and handed it to Xiaoxue. Xiao Xuehu glanced at him suspiciously, lowered her head to sniff, and walked away decisively. Lu Yuan smiled and put the clay pot aside, divided the snake soup into Lu Yuan and Twilight Star's bowls, and then sprinkled some spices in the two bowls while Xiaoxue was nibbling on the meat steak. Although the freshly cooked snake meat was tender, it had a fishy smell, and Xiao Xue, who had a sensitive sense of smell, naturally gave up after smelling it.
After Lu Yuan sprinkled the fishy spices, he shared them with Twilight. Twilight's big eyes were crooked, and he was full of happiness as he succeeded in his prank.
*************
After nightfall, the two white wolves snuggle up to sleep around the campfire, and Twilight returns to her tent to chat with Alona.
Lu Yuan continued to parse spells in his tent.
The night was low, and only the snoring of the two wolves could be heard, and Lu Yuan stretched his muscles and stood up. The harvest is not bad, and the analysis of "mirror shadow technique" is successful. For the first time, he also succeeded in preparing a two-ring spell, "Spider Web".
Just as Lu Yuan was flipping through the contents of the spell book, there were suddenly several strange roars, and the sound of huge flapping wings resounded around the camp.
"What's that?" Lu Yuan walked out of the tent in confusion, and then was pulled to the ground by a hand.
"Shhhh It's a pterodactyl! Twilight whispered in his ear, looking nervously at the sky.
At this time, Xiaoxue and the white wolf had already run into the woods to hide, and in the dark night, they saw three birds with huge bat-like wings, roaring around the campfire, spinning and flying, sometimes swooping down to reconnoitre. Lu Yuan pulled Twilight Star and slowly hid into the shadows of the tent.
At that moment a large pterosaur folded its wings and landed by the campfire, and it picked up a piece of leftover roast meat and swallowed it with a squeak. After eating, its eyes scanned around, its long tail flicked with a huge hook, and suddenly it pierced like lightning, and a piece of roast meat hidden under the stone was pierced on the hook, and shook and handed to the pterodactyl's mouth.
At this time, there was an angry roar of "whoop", the white shadow flashed, and the little white wolf jumped out of the woods and bit the thick neck of the pterosaur.
"Oops!" Lu Yuan's heart sank, the leather on the pterodactyl's neck was very thick, and it was difficult to pierce it with a sword. And the little white wolf can attack with its claws and tail!
"Entanglement", "Cryo Ray!" "Twilight Star and Lu Yuan both launched magic and arcane arts. A large number of vines suddenly appeared on the ground, tying the claws of the little white wolf and the pterodactyl to the ground and unable to move. At the same time, a white ray shot straight into the pterodactyl's open mouth, and the cold ray froze the soft flesh of the throat, blocking its downward head and biting the action.
"Bumper" twice, the pterosaur's hook tail hit the little white wolf twice in a row, and there could be a large piece of meat steak stuck on it, and there was no harm. The pterosaur flapped its wings, and the vines under its feet were constantly torn apart, and new vines were constantly generated to bind its feet. At this time, Bai Xue, who followed the little white wolf to rush out, jumped up and propped up on the back of the little white wolf, dodged the vines stretched out on the ground and tore hard, and bit the wing root of the pterodactyl, the pterodactyl let out a long scream, and green corrosive blood sprayed out from the wing root and throat.
The little white wolf finally tore a large piece of flesh from the throat of the pterosaur and landed on the ground, and was immediately bound up by layers of vines, making a whining and aggrieved sound.
"Call for the Holy Power," shouted Twilight, who had finished casting the spell again, and an illusory figure entered her body. Twilight drew her twin swords and rushed out. At this time, Lu Yuan was using the Dancing Light Technique and the Phantom Technique to contain the two winged dragons hovering on their heads, and the sudden strange screams and fluttering balls of light made the two winged dragons roar angrily.
"Roar!" One pterosaur folded its wings, its hook-like tail cocked to balance its body, and began to swoop towards Twilight in an attempt to rescue the badly wounded pterosaur. "Medium!" Lu Yuan shouted, his finger pulling magic pointed at the diving pterodactyl, and the two white missiles quickly bypassed the obstacle and smashed heavily on the pterosaur's left eye, blasting the eye into a hole, and the plasma splattered everywhere. The swooping pterosaur screamed and pulled up, first crashing into the treetops on the right, then flickering and flying, and began to climb regardless of it.
"Yikes!" The vines on the ground gave way in front of Twilight, and she exhaled and slashed her right hand sword, and the left wing of the great pterosaur on the ground instantly broke off. The pterodactyl was in extreme pain, ignoring the wounds all over its body, and opened its mouth to bite Twilight, and its tail stabbed Twilight in a small half-circle. Twilight Star seemed to have eyes on his back, and his left-handed sword backhand easily blocked the powerful tail, and his body rolled under the head of the pterosaur, and the retracted right-hand sword poked out and stabbed at the top of the dragon! Facing the tough leather of the pterodactyl's neck, the long sword pierced through a piece of tissue paper like a piece of tissue paper, piercing through the jaw into the brain with a stabbing sound, and the entire sword body pierced into it!
Lu Yuan, who was distracted and concerned about the battle situation, gasped with a toothache, and the priest girl who used the "Calling Holy Power" was simply a humanoid tank! "Call the Holy Power" can summon the gods to temporarily grant her a power limit, for one minute, for every three levels of the priest's level, and one point for each force sensitive body. After Twilight Star's level is cast, at least two of each force sensitive body is added, and her own quality is very good, and her strength is completely crushing Lu Yuan. According to the calculation that each additional attribute is equivalent to adding one-third of the total, the physical fitness is doubled in one minute, this is not what a tank is! It's really a lock, like a new orange.
At this point, the entanglement ended, and the vines on the ground began to dissipate. In the few seconds remaining after the Holy Power was at its highest, Twilight Star pulled Xiaoxue and the white wolf and hid in the woods on the side. After the Holy Force left, there would be a brief period of weakness, and the two wolves were now paralyzed after the desperate efforts just now. The blind pterodactyl was still hovering high in the sky, and another completely undamaged pterosaur began to stare at Lu Yuan. It circled around Lu Yuan and the small camp, and saw that Lu Yuan was still gesturing with both hands, standing in place and not moving, the impatient pterodactyl began to dive towards Lu Yuan, and with the gradual acceleration, the bone spurs at the tips of the wings brought out a sharp whistling sound.
It stared at Lu Yuan cruelly, wanting to see its prey panicked in the roar. But the thin little man had no intention of running away, but waved his hand at the swooping it, and a white mass flew out of his palm, swept a distance of 120 feet, and smashed right on the tip of the pterodactyl's nose. The pterosaur shook its wings in fright, and just as it felt as if it had not been harmed, the white ball exploded into a finger-thick spider silk all over the sky, strangling the pterosaur into a ball! Twenty feet of spider silk held the ground, trees, and pterosaurs together. As it struggled and flapped its wings, more and more spider silk was stirred.
Lu Yuan drew his thin sword and stepped on the spider silk and ran forward. The "Dark Serpent" spellbook gives him immunity to cobwebs, as if forming a smooth shield on his body, gently pushing away the clinging entanglement of spider silk. The pterosaur struggled with difficulty, pounced and bited on the other, and its body was wrapped in more and more spider silk. Counting the bonus of intelligence, Lu Yuan now has a total of seven spell slots. It's a pity that only one spider web technique has been prepared for the three spell slots of the second level, the four spell slots of the first level have used up the "Magic Missile" and "Mage Armor", and the remaining "Sleep Spell" and "Activation Rope" are useless against the Pterodactyl, and now they can only use the sword.
Calm down, calm down. Sweat flowed down his spine and down his back, Lu Yuan was already close to the pterodactyl's mouth, he could barely restrain his fear in the face of the behemoth, and his body stiffened to dodge the pterodactyl's clumsy bite. Fortunately, the pterosaur was bound by cobwebs, otherwise Lu Yuan could only turn around and run away. The pterosaur's slender tail was tied so strong that it was completely unable to swing. The claws and body are tied together and can only be stirred with difficulty. Only the big head supported by the thick neck remains, and it is still stubbornly biting.
Now is the time! Lu Yuan clenched the hilt of the thin sword with both hands, and stabbed it hard! He heard a snort, and a sour liquid splashed all over him, but the acpier had already pierced the handle. He was then knocked out of the camp by the tremendous force of the pterosaur's severe pain, rolling all the way to the edge of the camp. "Ah Yuan!" Twilight bursts out of the woods and drags him into the woods as quickly as she could.
The wounded pterosaur struggled and rolled in the clearing, tearing tents and pots and pans everywhere! The terrible screams could be heard far away in the night, for kilometers away. A rapier, which could not have done much damage, plunged into one of its eyes, emerged from the other, and pierced its entire brain! This is the biggest flaw in the creature where the eyes grow on the side! No matter how strong your skull is, no matter how tough your scales are, the thread between your eyes that runs through your brain is the most vulnerable part.
"Do you still have entanglement?" Lu Yuan asked, he didn't remember what powerful magic the priest and the druid's first three rings were, as for the "lightning technique"? With such a spell of character, who would dare to use it in the real world?
"One."
"Okay, that's waiting for my signal." Lu Yuan struggled to his feet and walked towards the center of the battlefield again. Three pterosaurs must be dealt with tonight, or it will have to bring a few more when it returns to its nest...... It's dead.
"Hey! Stupid lizard! Look here! Lu Yuan stood between the dead bodies of the two big pterosaurs, shouting and provoking the last flying pterosaur. With the low intelligence of the pterosaur, of course, he would not understand what he said, but the enemies were very red when they saw each other! Lu Yuan, who blinded its eyes, was the target of its greatest hatred! Seeing that there were no other targets around, it circled twice and dived down towards the landing.
The same screaming sound teared the air apart, and Lu Yuan stood there with the desire to escape, his hand pressed on the "Dark Serpent" spell book, there was still a spell there! Just when the pterosaur was still thirty feet away from the ground, "Twilight! With Lu Yuan's shout, a gloom suddenly unfolded around Lu Yuan, enveloping the space with a radius of 20 feet into darkness.
Unleashing the "Dark Technique" that comes with the "Dark Snake" spell book, Lu Yuan himself desperately escaped to the side. The pterosaur stumbled into the darkness and stumbled to a halt, then bound by the vines rising from beneath its feet. As soon as the light flickered, the dark spell disappeared completely. The dark spell is released with the spell book as the core, and as long as the spell book is covered with clothes, the spell effect will be blocked.
As soon as his vision was restored, he saw the blind pterodactyl struggling among the vines, about to break free. Lu Yuanqiang endured the tiredness after casting the spell, and a little tent rope on the ground, the rope jumped up like a snake, circled around the pterodactyl's bat wings a few times, and tied a dead knot. Then two men and two wolves rushed over. Twilight is an elven race and will not be entangled by plants. Lu Yuan is immune to the effect of entanglement, and the two wolves used the corpses of the two pterosaurs as a springboard, jumped onto the back of the pterosaur, and tore its wings. Lu Yuan relied on the magic rope technique to tie the most threatening tail of the pterosaur to its thigh.
Twenty minutes after the dust battle, the exhausted two men and two wolves killed the most rearly pterosaur. The stupidest little white wolf was finally finished, and was hit hard by the hook of his unfettered tail, and now he was lying there covered in green and blood. Xiaoxue whimpered beside him, and kept licking his hair with her tongue, and the scene was tear-jerking.
"Don't play dead!" Twilight managed to walk over and perform "Remove Toxin" and "Heal Serious Damage", after which he collapsed on the grass, unable to move again.
"Haha", Lu Yuan, who was lying down, laughed heartily. Then Twilight's crisp laughter joined, followed by the whining of the two wolves, mingling in one piece.

"I don't have it", Lu Yuan laughed and then let out a howl that was not like a human voice, "Hunter, your sister! Challenge your sister! It's a show! ”
