Chapter 31: The Intruder
The blizzard never stopped, and it kept howling overhead.
Yager took the compass to identify the next direction, and led Luo Bei and the others through the wind and snow, thinking about continuing to move forward on the mountain.
It's been a few days since they walked, but luckily their food is well prepared. It's just that it's really uncomfortable to walk like this every day against the wind and snow. Jager had already said in advance that in order to prevent being discovered by other teams in the mountains, no magic could be used, there were too many of them, and no one knew if there was a team hidden behind the high ground across the vast snow.
Luckily, there's another Leah there, and even if you can't use mana, the Ice Mage's Ice Elemental Affinity can control some of the blizzard's offset.
After a few days of stop-and-go like this, I kept changing directions in between, and finally I could rest again.
The place of rest this time is a cave, and the entrance requires a hunched body to enter, but the interior is getting higher and higher, and the highest point is nearly 3 meters, and the top of the cave is hung with a long and sharp ice pick, which looks very sharp.
"Where is this again?"
Leah asked, looking around curiously.
At this time, the bed had been made, the fire had also been lit, and there was a layer of cold air on the upper floor to isolate the heat, which could not affect the roof of the cave.
Yager fiddled with the iron plate, fixed it, heated it at the right temperature, smeared it with oil, heated it, and then put on the fried and baked food that needed to be heated, and then put down the kitchen utensils in his hand, and said slowly:
"When I was following other teams, I heard such information, sometimes people here will see a ruined temple, but it will disappear in a blink of an eye, I suspect that it is a secret place, but because of the climate, the entrance will be fluctuated, and the display is abnormal, so no one has found it until now. β
"I've been calculating for a long time, considering all the possibilities, this secret realm should appear once recently, according to the rumors I heard, this is the place where the secret realm has been discovered the most times, as for why I hid, there are many teams with the same purpose as us along the way, it's always good to be careful. β
Leah nodded thoughtfully, fiddling with the flames with the firewood, thinking about her own business.
"Someone should find out about it, right?"
Nari walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out, saying hesitantly.
It doesn't look very hidden here, either, and you can see it when you get closer.
Nari looked at Yager suspiciously.
"Come on, come, and when the time comes, I will see a sword cut them down one by one. β
Barton took a sip of red wine and patted his chest, his broad palms thumping his chest.
Jager shook his head helplessly.
"Isn't anyone paying attention to the terrain here? Outside the cave is a steep slope, and we also come around the snowdrift in the middle, who would normally come here?"
Luo Bei tasted the chicken thighs that were already hot, and they tasted good, so eat a few more.
"Hey, what about mine?"
Nari smelled the fragrance and heard the sound again, and hurriedly ran over to grab it.
After eating, the garbage was cleaned up, a pit was dug and buried on the spot, and then several people gathered around to look at the map that Yager had taken out.
This map is said to have cost countless costs to draw successfully, the maps on the Internet are often just ordinary tourist spots, some places ordinary people can't see and can't enter, if you want to really go deep into the place to record the terrain, only extraordinary people have experienced everything and survived it is possible to draw it.
The drawings are very detailed, as small as a certain snowdrift, all of which are recorded.
On the map, you can see that the location is very remote, and the nearby area is full of steep slopes, and there is nothing else except snowdrifts. And this is very close to a red mark on the map, there is a mountainside, there are many caves next to it, Luobei calculated the distance, guessing the lively situation over there.
"It seems that there is a lot of excitement over there, so many teams are coming to that secret realm, we are ready to rest at this time, and the people over there are probably still thinking about how to clean up the opponent. β
Leah said with a sneer.
"Hey, rookie mage. β
Nari picked up the red wine and took a sip, smacked his lips and said:
"If it's not their opponent, you try to get closer to me, I have at least time to protect you, and they won't have time. β
This is the soft mouth of the drinker!
Luo Bei looked at him drinking red wine at the same speed as drinking drinks, and felt distressed, uh, no, it's not my wine, there's no need to feel distressed, it's a pity, it's only a few hundred bottles.
"Don't worry, although I'm a beginner, I still have four or five spells, it's okay. β
Luo Bei smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no pressure.
Jager chuckled.
"Did you learn the magic of flashing? This is a basic spell that mages must have. β
Luo Bei was stunned.
Nima, flashing turned out to be a basic must-have!
it!
Luo Bei rolled his eyes.
"I have "flash", I have another skill similar to "flash", don't be afraid. β
Jager smiled and nodded, and said nothing.
Having said so much, any more would involve privacy, which is not good.
During the few days off, NARI had to carefully lurk near the target every day, observing the situation, recording which teams were involved, which teams were strong, and paying attention to those who came and went alone.
After coming back, a group of people discussed and dealt with it carefully, and they were not idle.
Two more days passed, on this day, Nari had already gone out, and the cave was gradually bored, Barton never woke up, after all, it was boring to wake up, and it was better to sleep for a while than to stay in a daze.
Leah is perceiving the ice element.
Yager is still preparing a plan, after all, this time is different from the past, facing all mid-level transcendents, and one careless person will be in danger of his life. So he is even more cautious, and there are several plans, and then slowly deduce, overturn his plans, and reformulate them.
Luo Bei meditated as soon as he had time, and by the way, he was proficient in the operation of divine power in his body, and he was feeling the power of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, all four people in the cave stood up and looked out of the cave vigilantly.
Several slightly more powerful forces slowly approached, and the goal was clear, it was this cave.
"Is it exposed?"
Yage's elegant smile was a little more solemn.
"Get ready for battle. β
Leah sighed and stepped aside, making room for Jager.
Barton picked up his great sword and stood at the front.
Luo Bei also drew his cane.
But at this time, it is really not suitable for a fight.
The people from outside the cave walked in, and there were five of them, two mages, and three warriors.
Both mages were holding turquoise serpentine staffs with green eyes.
"Dark Poison..."
Yager's face changed slightly, as if he was very afraid of the identities of the two mages.
Dark poison?
Luo Bei glanced at them in surprise and looked at Liya suspiciously.
Leah understood, and while guarding the two mages, she explained to Luo Bei in a very small voice:
"Dark poison" is a mutation among mages, who use poison as a carrier to study various toxins and poison magic, which is powerful and weird. Originally just a profession, then a mysterious person recruited all these mages and brought them together to study toxins and magic together, and then gradually, this organization became a nightmare for the transcendents, and as long as they took action, no one would survive. β
Toxin...
It seems that I can't avoid it....
Headache!
Luo Bei also felt a little restrained at this time.
"I know you, Jager, in Europe, you also have a great name, the Flame Tyrant, and you really have admired the great name for a long time. Meet Sigri, "Poisonous". β
Sigri smiled weirdly, his dark green face like an eerie ghost, and he said with a hoarse smile.
The mage next to him smiled like a hoarse voice and said:
"Dark poison" Rolittle. β
One of the warriors beside them smiled, a look of smugness.
"Jager, in order to get rid of you, I paid a great price to ask the cardinal of the Vatican to predict your movements, and then I found you. You died unjustly. β
Jager had regained his composure by this time.
"Then give it a try? See if you can get rid of me. β
Luo Bei looked at Yager suspiciously.
This sentence is not like what he said, and his personality cannot be so radical and impulsive.
Trick?
Did he have guessed that there was an ambush here?
Luo Bei couldn't guess either.
Jager didn't say anything.
Both sides were wary of each other, but neither made the first move.
After a moment of confrontation, the "dark poison" mage Sigri suddenly laughed, and the staff slammed on the ground, and a dark green smoke quickly extended and fluttered in this direction.
Seeing this, Yager waved his staff, and a curtain of fire isolated the green smoke and burned, and an unpleasant "zizi" sound sounded, and the unpleasant smell began to spread.
Ria frowned and waved her staff, and a cold air blew through like the wind, freezing the smell, smoke, and fire curtains.
"Ice mages, it's rare to see. β
Rolittle glanced at Lea and praised him casually, and at the same time, seven colors of smoke and countless ant-sized black insects quickly emitted from him, and the speed came over quickly.
"It's disgusting. β
Luobei used the "cutting technique" to cut the ground in the middle, revealing a deep pit, and the bottom of the pit erupted with cold air, but it was only isolated for a while, and the insects stepped on the corpses in front of them and continued to crawl forward, and the smoke was still spreading.
Barton swallowed and stepped back.
"Red Flame"
Jager snorted, and waved his staff at the pit, the dark red flames blazing, the bugs blocked, but the smoke continued.
"Frost"
Leah frowned and waved her staff.
The smoke stopped, hung white and fell to the ground like solid, making a loud noise.
"Bang Bang Bang"
SGL clapped his palms.
"Yes, not bad. β
"Corrosion"
Sigri Staff pointed at Jager and waved it.
Black light burst out and flew towards Yager, fast and with a phantom.
Yager reacted quickly, erecting several "walls of fire" in front of him, and the light was consumed layer by layer until it was extinguished.
"It's Jager, even your teammates are so extraordinary. β
Rolitt chuckled.
Jager subconsciously took a step back, and the staff in his hand tightened.
"Look at my viral shock. β
Rolit raised his staff and swung it quickly, a green aura appearing at his feet, and a green halo filled the tip of the staff.
ββ°οΌ ΒΊβββ β
He muttered a bird-language incantation that he couldn't hear or understand, and the aura under his feet became more and more obvious.
After a few moments, the halo spreads out and strikes forward.
Jager shielded Barton, the blazing flames acting as a shield to block out the halo.
Leah's body was covered in a layer of ice, which was getting thicker and thicker, and the halo could not break through.
Luo Bei retreated again and again, and it seemed that he couldn't use any magic he could think of.
And the halo is getting closer.
The three of them looked at him worriedly, but they couldn't help.
"Tut-tut, the new rookie mage, right? It's a pity, I'm going to die just now..."
Sigri bared his teeth and grinned pompously.
How can you just wait to die?
Luo Bei instantly calmed down, and his cane was raised.
"Concussion"
"Concussion"
.....
Dozens of consecutive "concussion techniques", although they could not destroy the halo, still caused them to deviate from the direction, hit the ice wall, and infiltrated it, not knowing where they would go.
"Huh, deflection?"
SGL frowned and looked at Luo Bei carefully, he had underestimated him before, but he didn't expect that there would be such a means of wisdom.
"Hmph. β
The three warriors next to him stood up and drew their broadswords at the same time, brandishing them and rushing forward.
Laws of War: In any war, it is best not to confront a melee class with a weapon in close proximity, as unpredictable results can occur and death can occur.
"Look at my Barton's great sword. β
Barton patted his chest and greeted him with the same great sword, his expression very excited.
The four of them fought as one, regardless of whether they were up or down.
Of course, there are also terrain reasons, compared to the outside world, this place is still a little narrower, four people mixed together and don't pay attention to crowd people, fight or something, and there is no sense of proportion, you cut me, I block, I cut you, you block.
The space is too small to be opened.
The two "dark poison" mages behind the four of them glanced at each other, smiled gloomily, and released green smoke and green bugs at the same time, dense, unable to see clearly, and unable to count clearly.
After doing all this, the two of them cast another spell to attract the attention of Leah and Jager, leaving them with no time to deal with the bugs and smoke.
Luo Bei sighed.
I really don't have the magic to solve this!
But looking at the expressions of "Comrade, I entrust my back to you, don't live up to our trust" in front of Yager and Liya, the corners of Luo Bei's mouth twitched.
Glancing at Barton who was fighting excitedly, and the smoke and bugs that were about to come into contact with him, Luo Bei's heart was in a hurry, and his already vague thoughts were chaotic again.
"Wow... Why are there so many bugs... I don't care about you.... Fuck off...."
When the first bug crawled on his feet, Barton immediately noticed it, screamed in panic, and in a hurry, jumped and stomped to chase away the bug, and then found the approaching smoke, Barton swallowed his saliva and retreated.
The three people who fought against him seized the opportunity, and the big sword swiped again and again, creating multiple wounds on his body, and the bright red blood slowly flowed down and dripped on the ground, attracting insects even more.
