Volume 2 The Road to Training Chapter 92 First Encounter
The second volume of the journey begins
Out of the Duchy of Bavaria, the Magister and Snow Traceless headed in the direction of the Elven Forest, which can be said to be a close neighbor of the Elven Forest, but there is still an ordinary forest between them, called the Vancouver Forest.
The Vancouver forest is ordinary, just a forest formed by nature, but its special feature is that it is a buffer zone between the elves and humans.
However, Snow Without a Trace is led by the Demon Magister, so there shouldn't be any baskets, but unfortunately, unexpected things always happen.
At the entrance to the Vancouver Forest, the Magister and Snow Traceless met the only Martial Saint powerhouse in the Duchy of Bavaria, the Grey-Clad Sword Saint Rossi. I don't know what Rosie said to the Wizard, after thinking about it, the Wizard decided to divide the army into two ways, he and Rosie still have some things to do, Snow Traceless can only take the first step by himself, through the Vancouver Forest, and then the two converge at the entrance of the Elven Forest.
Before Snow Without a Trace could agree, the Demon Master and the Gray-clothed Sword Saint Rosie had already disappeared, what the hell!
However, the snow that has lived on the Iron Mountain since childhood has no trace, and after entering the forest, it is like a fish in water, and I don't feel a little excited.
He hunched his body, like an agile and sturdy bobcat, he quickly shuttled through the trees, and in the process of running, his body could also deftly dodge the branches that appeared from time to time on both sides.
His feet were on the ground covered with fallen leaves, and there was only a faint rustling sound.
In the evening, Snow Traceless found a long-mouthed beast's nest in the woods.
This long-billed beast is one of the few common beasts that live in the forest, it is about the size of a small dog, and likes to burrow in the dirt, leaving its fur slippery, its limbs short, and its movements sluggish. The mouth, on the other hand, is long and flattened, with a sharp tip.
What this kind of thing likes most is to stick its spiky mouth into a wormhole in the dirt and eat the eggs.
Unfortunately, the long-mouthed beast encountered Snow Trace, and was skillfully knotted by Snow Trace, which was pulled out of its nest and transformed into Snow Trace's dinner.
The meat of the long-mouthed beast is not very tasty, there is a bad smell of earth, thinking of this Xue Wuxian is angry, that old guy, even said that he needs food more, he is young and strong, just solve it on the spot, and even took all the rations away, if it were not for Xue Wuji's rich experience in living in the wild, I am afraid that the problem of food alone will not be able to solve it by himself.
At noon the next day, his luck came. Snow Without a Trace found a stupid herding deer in the woods, the stupid thing had its antlers tangled in a thorn and had been struggling for a while.
Snow Traceless cheered and rushed forward, he didn't intend to kill the guy, but took out the rope and tied two bardons, carefully tied the antlers and the deer's neck, and then pulled the antlers out of the thorns.
As soon as the deer got out of trouble, it immediately tried to escape in panic, but Xue Wuxian had already seen the opportunity and turned over and jumped on the deer's back, pulling the rope in his hand, just like riding a horse.
It was obviously not the first time he had done this kind of thing, he was very skilled in manipulating the deer, and the deer was pulled back and forth by him a few times, and finally obediently. Xue Wuxian carefully used the "reins" in his hand to control the direction of the deer's running, and then hugged the deer's neck.
The deer ran away with Snow Without a Trace for a full morning, and at noon, Snow Without a Trace spared the poor and exhausted fellow, but he still used a dagger to pierce a small hole in the deer's body, put a little deer blood out, and then used the herbs he picked in the jungle to paste the wound on the deer, and then released the fellow.
Snow walked around the jungle for a while, and finally found a few croaking black mud frogs beside a small swamp, which resembled toads and had a sac of fluid on their backs.
This little thing is a fool, it doesn't move at all, it just squats by the swamp and screams all day long, even if you go up to catch it, it won't move.
Snow Traceless found a sharp branch and took some of the mudfrog's sac fluid from the sacs on the backs of several mud frogs - this kind of thing is not too toxic, but it can make people feel paralyzed.
Basically, many hunters who are familiar with the jungle know about this thing, and many old hunters are used to using it as a painkiller in case of trauma.
Xue Wuxian found a tall pine tree, stepped on dozens of hard and sharp pine needles that had been dried in the air, found a thin branch, and pulled out the branches inside without damaging the bark in the slightest—in doing these things, his hand movements were delicate and gentle, and he was extremely skilful and dexterous.
Using rolled bark as a blowpipe, pine needles were stained with the venom of mud frogs. This becomes a set of blow arrows.
Snow Traceless tied his trouser legs with a rope and began to search the jungle.
Just as he had left the swamp for less than a meal, suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the jungle in front of him, and this sound immediately alarmed Snow Traceless.
His eyes lit up! Could it be that my luck is so good? So, Xue Wuxian tiptoed closer, and when he was about a dozen steps away from the bush, Xue Wuxian smelled a faint smell of blood, he was a little puzzled, hesitated slightly, quickly grabbed a stone on the ground and threw it hard.
Bang! The stone was thrown into the bushes, and there was a muffled sound, followed by a soft "hum", which seemed to be a little indistinct, but with the smell of pain.
Is it a person? Xue Wuxian was stunned for a moment, walked over a few steps, and picked up the bushes. Behind the bushes, on the ground was a man.
This guy was wearing a leather robe with good texture, his body was shrunk into a ball, and his hands were holding his head hard, and the blood was bleeding from the top of his head, and there was blood seeping out of the gap between his dirty fingers, which was obviously the evil of the stone he had just smashed.
Xue Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at the guy on the ground angrily and shouted: "Hey, man, do you know that people are scary, scared to death! Fortunately, I didn't have a dagger just now, otherwise you would have died by now!"
The man covered his head and whispered, as if it was calling something like "it hurts" or something.
Xue Wuxian approached angrily: "Nonsense, of course it hurts when my head hits a stone." Why are you hiding in the bushes, I almost took you for a monster, you almost killed me, do you know?"
He walked over, but suddenly he saw this guy's left leg! A round steel sleeve clung to his calf!
This is an iron trap, the bite is full of sharp iron teeth, the guy is very badly injured, he was wearing thick leather boots, but the boots have been pierced, the bite of the lower leg of his left leg is blurred with flesh and blood, and there is a pool of blood on the ground.
Apparently, it was a trap set by some hunter, and the unlucky man probably stepped into it for some unknown reason.
Seeing this scene, Xue Wuxian was a little stunned, uh...... It's already very immoral to smash people with stones, let alone smash an unlucky guy who has been seriously injured? Well, this time, even Xue Wuxian himself felt a little unhappy in his heart.
So he immediately ran over, helped the unlucky man up, and then grabbed the trap with great difficulty, and pulled it open with all his might.
Finally, the unlucky man screamed, and Snow Traceless rescued him, lifted his body up, and moved backwards.
But as soon as this guy got out of trouble, he actually struggled violently, pushing the snow with both hands desperately without a trace, and shouted vaguely: "Let go of me, I won't go back with you if I die!"
Xue Wuxian was stunned, and was thrown away by him, and this guy immediately jumped up, and he didn't know where the strength came from, and he wanted to run away. After only two steps, Xue Wuxian couldn't help but shout, "Hey, wait a minute!"
