Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Witch's Cottage!
(First update.) The second chapter is at 8:30 p.m. )
There is no night or day in the underworld.
As Zhao Futu led his army along the location marked on the map, he soon ran into another problem.
That is, he actually had to pass through the territory of the brute bull on his way, and perhaps for the lifeless undead class, the Grim Reaper's Eye of the brute bull was not too terrible, because it was not effective against the undead and alchemy life at all. But for the current Zhao Futu, that group of brute bulls is still a very threatening existence, even if his current strength is good, he is not sure if he can beat them.
And more importantly!
Most abandoned fortresses are basically occupied by other creatures.
Even if there is no hero, mobs that are not will automatically be attracted to nearby forts and use them as their lair.
In other words, after Zhao Futu finds the fortress of the dungeon, there is still a tough battle to fight to attack the city!
"Should we be wasting troops here?"
Zhao Futu thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to make a detour, although it would take him half a day longer.
But it was a good thing for him to explore the area further and record what he encountered. The wild bulls live there and won't run, the magical buildings guarded by them are still there, as long as Zhao Futu can attack a dungeon, then he will have enough time to kill these wild bulls, and it may not even be impossible to find a way to recruit them.
The underground world extends in all directions, and there are too many roads, and Zhao Futu has also walked into a dead end and has to go back again.
After spending half a day, he finally bypassed the territory of the brute bull and entered the rear marked on the map.
Over here. It's about half a day's way from that abandoned dungeon.
After bypassing the territory of the wild bull, the land became barren, surrounded by strange rocks, and Zhao Futu also saw a large piece of stone stalactites.
I don't know if it's because it's still within the territory of the wild bull, Zhao Futu didn't encounter other creatures, but as the surroundings gradually became desolate, Zhao Futu also began to find traces of other creatures' activities. The harder creatures left behind don't want to be the species of the dungeon, but seem to be the creatures of other forces.
But this is not important, the important thing is that Zhao Futu discovered an accident.
It was a small but conspicuous hut, surrounded by strange flowers. There are also some weird insects among them.
When Zhao Futu felt in front of this hut, the cold system prompt sound of the nightmare space also sounded:
"You've found a witch's hut that you can try to teach you some heroic skills for a fee!"
Witch?
When Zhao Futu heard the nightmare space prompt sound, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he waved his hand to stop the army, and walked over with only the maiden paladin and the Medusa hero Melina.
The witch didn't want a horde of creatures to come and spoil her garden!
When Zhao Futu approached the witch's hut, in the garden with strange plants, many flowers and plants actually wriggled automatically. Turning his head to where he was, it looked as if he was alive. Even Zhao Futu saw a piece of flowers and plants entangled together, gradually forming a huge man-eating flower, but at this time, an old and hoarse voice suddenly came from inside the witch's hut.
"Let these visitors from afar come in!" With this sentence falling. The flowers and plants writhed and changed back to their original shapes, swaying in the wind, and there was no trace of the first hideousness.
Zhao Futu glanced at the two beside him, and then cautiously stepped into the small cabin.
A look up. Zhao Futu saw a lot of messy books, as well as a large number of miscellaneous bottles and jars, which contained many biological organs. The eyes of the evil eye, the snake's hair of Medusa, the scorpion tail of the griffon, and so on. An old and rickety old witch was sitting at a low table, holding a test-tube-like thing in her hand, and a strange smell of turbid liquid was boiling with instruments next to her, and she seemed to be very focused, ignoring Zhao Futu and the others who came in.
"Wait!" As soon as Zhao Futu entered this witch's hut, he felt an aura of isolation.
That's an enchantment, and the witch in front of you is not simple!
One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, Zhao Futu waited for more than half an hour.
The old witch had finally finished her experiment, put away the jars, and then raised her head, and gazed at her with a cloudy, cold, werewolf-like look, her old face wrinkled with strange oil paint, and a few unknown bird feathers stuck in the top of her head, somewhat similar to the wizard of the Indians.
The old-faced witch stared at Zhao Futu and the others for a moment, and then squeezed out an ugly and stiff smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "Very good!" ”
"Young people! Your patience is good! ”
She picked up the staff beside her, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't met another hero in one hundred and eighty years. Following the ancient pact, I will also help some young, promising heroes after I have escaped from the world, but you will also have to pay a reward. ”
"With me, you can learn the art of elementary wisdom, which will allow you to master more advanced magic."
"But again, you must also provide me with 2,000 Law Coins!"
………………
Beginner Wisdom?
Zhao Futu showed a contemplative look when he heard this, and immediately quickly took out 6,000 law gold coins, which were piled up in front of the old witch like a small mountain.
With a nonchalant wave of her hand, some of the gold coins disappeared.
But some of them remained on the ground, and she turned her gaze to the maiden paladin on the side, and said slowly, "She's not a hero yet!" ”
"Not qualified to learn the Elementary Wisdom Technique!"
After speaking.
She stretched out her palm like an eagle's claw and gently pressed it on Zhao Futu's forehead, and for a moment Zhao Futu wanted to dodge, but still let the other party press it.
Then a light appeared, and a large piece of text appeared in his mind.
The cold chime of the nightmare space also sounded:
"Contractor No. 1013 spent 2,000 Law Gold Coins to learn the Elementary Wisdom Technique from the Witch!"
Compared to Zhao Futu's shock, the Medusa leader's expression was much more respectful, and she leaned down slightly and lowered her head, waiting for the old witch to give her new powers. The same light flashed, and then Zhao Futu also received a prompt from his Medusa leader to learn the primary wisdom technique. When she had done all this, the old witch seemed to be a little tired, and she waved her hand impatiently, as if to chase away flies, and said, "All right! ”
"I have nothing more to teach you. Hurry up! ”
Witches have very eccentric personalities!
Zhao Futu didn't say much to refute anything, just leaned over slightly, and left with the other two.
………………
When they stepped out of the witch's hut.
The Maiden Paladin glanced back with some dissatisfaction, and then muttered, "Isn't it just a primary wisdom technique!" What's the big deal! ”
Looks like she's still a little bit of a problem, and the old witch didn't teach her.
"Let's go." Zhao Futu also glanced back at the witch's hut, and silently wrote down her location in his heart, secretly saying that if other heroes were recruited in the future, maybe they should be allowed to come here.
A moment later, Zhao Futu took his army on the road again.
And not long after they left, the old witch also walked out slowly, she glanced at the direction of Zhao Futu's departure with cloudy eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have already taught two people, according to the provisions of the contract, I don't need to teach skills to new heroes for a hundred years." ”
"Looks like I can go straight back to the elemental half-plane!"
"There seems to be a star axis and a magic tower over there? Maybe I should look into their energy? ”
"Forget it!"
"Let's keep those young people with potential! It takes fifty years to complete a charge, and I have a chance to improve my ability, and I don't know which little guy I will give it cheaper in the end! ”
After speaking.
The old witch thrust her staff into the ground, and a portal with a lilac glow appeared.
Moments later, the old witch disappeared from the land, along with her cabin and garden.
There was only a piece of dry earth and gravel left on the ground, and even Zhao Futu didn't notice that the area covered by the witch's hut was slightly out of harmony with the surrounding terrain, and it looked as if it had just appeared on it.
With the witch gone, calm returned to the surroundings.
Nothing as if it had never happened!
Zhao Futu didn't know all this.
Because after continuing to travel for a while, he found something quite unexpected, it was a cave man's lair, which should have been occupied by the cave man technically.
It was a pit, or it used to be a pit.
When Zhao Futu discovered it and approached it, he also received the cold prompt sound of the nightmare space:
"You've found an abandoned mine that is now occupied by a group of cavemen, and you can retake it after defeating them! The pit will provide you with a fixed batch of ore per day based on its own production. ”
