Chapter 5: Assassination

Ryan listened to the Spirit's advice, and the trace of complacency in his heart couldn't help but fade a little, and then pondered.

"It seems that I have been making too fast progress in cultivation recently, causing me to be too conceited, I always think that I am invincible in the world, and my master also told me that cultivation is not easy, but I didn't listen to it much, but fortunately, Ling reminded me at a critical moment, if cultivation is really so easy, why do you have to divide so many realms......"

Ryan took a deep breath and emanated his thoughts towards the spirit, "Sorry, Spirit, I'm a little inflated, thank you for reminding me at this critical moment." However, the path of cultivation is not always smooth sailing, and some opportunities will not come to you by themselves, so you have to try everything......"

"Ryan, it's good if you think about it, you're right, anything is risky, but you can't stop fighting for it, I know you want to try it, but you must correctly estimate your strength, otherwise, the price of your attempt will be your life. ”

Ryan exhaled deeply, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "Don't worry, this secret treasure, I, Ryan, must get it!"

Wind and Frost Mountains.

"Hmm--it's really cold--it seems like I'm not thinking it through, and it's not easy to sneak in......"

A small figure paced slowly in the jungle, the hot breath that had just exhaled from his mouth turned into ice crystals in an instant.

"Ling, the secret treasure you mentioned is in this direction, right?"

"That's right, the men of those two forces are on the other side of the mountain, and the defenses from this direction are the weakest, and it is safe to enter from here. ”

"What rank are the mages left here to patrol?"

"Three one-star mages and one two-star mage, if you can spread them all out and break them one by one, you won't alarm the defenses of other places. ”

Ryan pondered for a moment, and then said to the spirit, "You help me observe their patrol tracks, and deal with the three one-star patrolmen first, so as not to alarm the others, and then go to the two-star ones at the end." ”

......

"Captain, what are they looking for in this Wind and Frost Mountain Range? ”

Hearing someone asking, the young man at the head said in a low voice, "Don't just ask, there is no one here, let me tell you, listen to one of my cousins, there is a cold water spring in this Wind and Frost Mountain Range, which has a particularly strong auxiliary cultivation effect on water attribute mages."

"However, this is not the best thing, I heard that the master of the family found the ice pith around the cold water spring, it seems to be the size of a vein, you all know that the ice pith is important to us water mages. At the beginning, the owner of the family and the ice cirque tower found here at the same time, it is conceivable, everyone wants this thing, but they are evenly matched, they can only compete in this wind and frost mountain range, and the winner can get seventy percent of these resources, if it is not for the fear that the cirque tower will be forced to bite us back, I estimate that the head of the family wants to swallow this treasure alone. ”

When the three one-star mages heard this, they all secretly smacked their tongues, "Ice marrow, ah......"

......

"Oh, ice marrow, what is this?" asked Ryan, as he listened to the image that the spirit had given him, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Ice pith, this is a treasure of heaven and earth, how to say it, this thing is formed by the condensation of the cold between heaven and earth, even if it is only the size of a fingernail, it can also make a one-star mage directly promoted to the two-star level, but this ice marrow can only be absorbed by the mage of the water element, although it can make the mage of the water attribute become an ice attribute, and the attack power is indeed enhanced, but it lacks the sense of transformation of water. There will be gains and losses. ”

"Ignore this ice pith for now, with my current level, there is no chance of winning to capture the ice pith. Let's go find the secret treasure you mentioned, I'm looking forward to it......"

As he spoke, Ryan controlled the wind elemental to carry his body and float down from the trunk of the tree.

......

"Captain, it's time for us to go on patrol. ”

Hearing this, the young man at the head put away the wine glass in his hand, "Well, brothers, finish the patrol early, let's come back and rest, the temperature of this wind and frost mountain range will drop again at night, and some magical beasts generally haunt at night, everyone pay attention to safety." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

As the four of them gradually dispersed, a small black shadow followed closely behind one of the one-star mages, unnoticed by the other three.

"Spirit, how far away are the others from here?"

"As a rough estimate, there is a one-star mage two kilometers to the east and two kilometers to the north, and the two-star mage is about three kilometers northwest of you, so you can do it, and we will take care to help you hide your breath. Be sure to kill with one hit. ”

Ryan bowed slightly, took out a half-foot-long bamboo needle, and tried to use his spiritual power to condense the fire element on the bamboo needle, and then jumped down from a big tree, using the wind element to propel his body like a cannonball towards the one-star mage.

The one-star mage was a little sleepy walking in the wind and frost mountains, and suddenly felt a chill hit behind him, and was about to look back, when he felt a pain in the back of his neck spread throughout his body, and was about to open his mouth to call for help, but found that he couldn't even make a sound, and then he fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Hmm--" Ryan sighed with a sigh of relief

"It's a bit exciting...... It seems like...... Somewhat...... Addicted. Ryan paused for a moment, then galloped back to the east. Only a burning corpse was left in place.

Half an hour passed, and Ryan was panting and leaning against a large tree. "Hmm...... I'm so tired......"

"Ryan, you feel it, this is the mage's weakness. The physical strength of the mage is too poor, and it is the same as the physical strength of ordinary people, so the mage should guide the elements into the body at the beginning, so that the mage's physique can be slightly changed, so that the mage's body can withstand more magic power. ”

"Especially at a higher level, the amount of magic that a mage needs to endure will increase exponentially, so I suggest that you have laid the foundation of your body now, so that you can pursue a higher realm more easily, especially since your body is an all-elemental body, and the elements you can withstand are more than ten times that of the rest of the people, I think you should know how to do it." ”

Ryan listened to Ling's words, as if he had made up his mind, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Okay! And the last one, as long as I kill this two-star mage, I can go to the mountains to explore the secret treasure! I guess this will be a tough battle, two-star mages are definitely not as easy to deal with as one-star mages......"

As he spoke, Ryan hid among the towering trees and leaped away in the northwest direction.

......

"Today is as calm as ever, I'm on patrol, and if there's no situation, I can go back and rest. I'm so tired, I really don't know when the head of the house will take the ice pith off. ”

"That way, I won't have to patrol so hard, and maybe I can get a small piece of ice pith and break through to three stars...... Samsung...... Tut-tut, it's so desirable......"

The two-star mage was immersed in the fantasy of the three-star when an unknown dangerous emotion suddenly emerged from his heart, and he immediately felt a chill hit behind him.
