Chapter 4: Midnight

Deep in the Eiger Forest is a tranquil lake, surrounded by lush trees and vast fields of flowers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAt this time, an uninvited guest came.

Sylvia dragged her injured left leg and staggered to the edge of the lake and sat down.

"Huhu...... I've finally found a quiet place, so let's take some safety measures first. With that, Sylvia put her hands on the ground.

"LAKE-LILAKE-Come, Wind Spirit-Wind Breath Perception" With her tired body and aching head, Sylvia could barely perform a simplified version of 'Wind Breath Perception'.

After casting the spell, Sylvia began to check her injuries, "Well, a few ribs are broken, the shoulder is fine, and the thigh was only pierced without hurting the bone, but a big hole was directly opened in the chest...... If I were human, I would die. ā€

Sylvia looked down at her chest, a wound about ten centimeters in diameter had been pierced on her left chest, and the strange thing was that although there was bleeding from her chest, she didn't see the heart when she looked inside. Sylvia took out a bandage painted with green spells and thought to herself, "Eh, there are only the last two volumes of Forest Favor left, I guess I borrowed it from the Great Elder of the Forest God Sect last time." ā€

A sharp pain in the skull interrupted Sylvia's attempt to bandage her thigh, "What's going on, why does it hurt so much, wait......"

Sylvia closed her eyes and immersed her consciousness in her spiritual sea, a small royal blue gem covered in a spiritual sea of silver mist that was wrapped around dozens of tiny silver chains. But not only were most of the chains broken and rusty, but even the small blue gem was almost completely cracked, and if it weren't for the few unbroken chains that bound it, it would have been completely shattered.

"Trouble, I didn't expect that the consequences of using the 'Thunderstorm' this time were so serious, and now there are only one, two, three, four, five, six, and six chains left, and I spent three years in Egger Town repairing nine, and this time four were broken. If I can't find anything in the Divine Treasure that can repair my magic furnace this time, it will be a big loss. And ......"

Sylvia stared at her hand carefully, and black cracks slowly emerged, "Even the magic energy matrix is even more damaged, it seems that the next step is to try not to use magic." ā€

As night fell, Sylvia finally bandaged her wounds before dark, and Lilith continued to use healing magic tirelessly.

"Alright, Lilith, take a rest, my injuries are fine, you know, as long as the magic furnace is okay I'll be fine, come, eat something." ā€

With that, Sylvia placed the charred and fragrant fish in her hand in front of Lilith, and she tore off a rabbit leg and began to chew it.

"Now, Hee, you didn't lose that treasure hunter team, did you?" Lilith said vaguely as she ate the grilled fish.

Sylvia smiled helplessly, "Lilith, my current magic furnace is very badly damaged, and my efforts in the past few years have almost been burned, and I will not be able to use magic for the next part of the journey, as for the positioning, I can only determine a very general location, and if I am a little optimistic, the error will not be less than a hundred meters." ā€

"What? The magic furnace is badly damaged, how can this be, what can I do now? Will you hang up soon? What should I do then?" Lilith heard this, and the hairs on her tail exploded, and she spun in circles in place.

"Haha, don't worry, it's not as serious as you think, it's just that you can't use magic for a short time. When I was fighting just now, because the spell was not fully activated, because I didn't use the extra magic power to fully activate when I was depicting at the time, but used the magic crystal to activate slowly, and it is estimated that it will be fully activated until tomorrow morning, and then I can use the spell to fight. ā€

Looking at the frightened Lilith, Sylvia gently took it into her arms and stroked the top of its head and soothed.

"Meow, that's good, let's go to sleep, and be careful on the road tomorrow. Lilith, who had been touched on the head, was visibly relieved, and fell asleep after eating the last bit of grilled fish.

Sylvia looked at the fire in front of her, her eyes showed a look of longing, sighed softly, and fell asleep against the tree.

As a team of treasure hunters with a large number of people, the situation is not much better than that of Sylvia.

Not far from Sylvia's open lake, the Treasure Hunters had set up camp there, but the expressions on their faces were not as high-spirited as they had been before their departure from Egger, but rather tired.

Angela sat by the fire and pulled the fire with the branches in her hand, her arms and body were wrapped in bandages, and the sparse techniques on the bandages exuded a faint light, "Damn, I didn't expect there to be so many dangerous magical beasts in this forest." ā€

"That's right, I didn't expect Earl Ellington to present the information without finding out clearly, it seems that I have to talk to him properly on this trip. Augustin didn't smile at all, but said slowly with a frown.

"But this time I'm really sorry Brother Zoe, who was so seriously injured in order to save my sister. Augustine looked back at Zoe and said, "But please rest assured, Brother Zoe, your broken arm has been sealed with an ice scroll, and I will ask Master Hillary to pick it up for you when I go back." ā€

Zoe didn't say anything, he just nodded with a pale face, and continued to sit on the grass and grab the barbecue with his remaining right hand and eat it slowly.

Augustine turned his head back to the old hunter wiping his dagger and asked, "What do you think we are going to do tomorrow, Mr. Eli?"

Eli replaced the movement in his hand and raised his weather-beaten face, "Today we have only explored the depths of the forest, and we have not yet reached the land of divine hiding, but there are already many demonic beasts, although they are only some middle-level low-level and middle-level medium-level demonic beasts, it is not a problem for me, but I will inevitably make some mistakes in protecting you during the battle." ā€

As he spoke, Eli wiped the short sword in his hand again, "So I have two plans, Augustine, do you have to go to the Divine Treasure? ā€

Augustine didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes already showed his thoughts and determination.

Seeing this, Eli sighed and said, "Since you are so persistent, we will hurry up tomorrow, I will find a way to avoid those magical beasts, after entering the Divine Hiding Land, we have the ring of hidden aura given by Miss Angela, if nothing else, we are safer in the Divine Hiding Land than outside." ā€

Mitya watched her brother discuss tomorrow's itinerary with her, but she didn't say a word, although she had a book in her hand, her godless eyes proved that her mind was not here.

"What are you thinking, Mitya, is there anything on your mind?" asked Angela, leaning over her face.

Looking at Angela's face flickering in the firelight, Mitya shook her head and showed a reluctant smile, "I'm fine, I just think this forest is too dangerous, and Big Brother Zoe was so badly injured to save me." ā€

Angela sighed when she saw this, patted Mitya's hand lightly, then held her hand in her own hand, and comforted, "Don't be like this, Mitya, I'm sure everyone will be fine, just the lowest level of the gods, and it will be fine." As for him......"

The place where Zoe had severed her left arm was bandaged in pure green, and the soft green light was conspicuous in the night, and Zoe didn't seem to be in a big deal except that her face was a little pale.

"He'll be fine, didn't your brother say it too, I'll treat him when I go back." Anyway, you can even ask Archmage Hillary to move, you must know that Hillary is an epic powerhouse, although it has just entered the epic level not long ago, but after all, it is epic, I am suddenly curious about what the identities of the two of you are?"

Angela's big aqua blue eyes were full of curiosity, looking at Angela's appearance, Mitya thought it was funny, and just about to open her mouth to say something, Augustine interrupted her with a word.

"Sister, what are you talking to Angela about, so happy?" Augustine's glasses stared at Mitya, who couldn't help but lower her head, "It's nothing. ā€

"Since there is nothing to say, let's hear what Mr. Eli has to say. With that, Augustine crouched beside Mitya and said to Mitya in a small voice, "Remember your identity and don't give it to anyone." ā€

Eli said slowly, "There is something wrong with this forest, the danger level here is not the same as the intelligence and the official information, the official danger level given is low-level, that is, there are only low-level middle-level demonic beasts at most, and according to the information given by Lord Ellington, it is intermediate-level, that is, there are medium-level low-level demonic beasts at most, but we have encountered three medium-level middle-level demonic beasts along the way." If there were a mid-level and high-level demonic beast, it would be very difficult for me to deal with it. ā€

After unscrewing the silver flask in his hand and taking a sip, Eli continued, "So I hope everyone will be careful tomorrow, when they encounter a mid-level intermediate and above-level magical beast, they will focus on protecting themselves, just like today, Zoe, who only has elite-level strength, insists on fighting against the mid-level and mid-level sawtooth beasts." ā€

Eli waved his hand and interrupted Mitya, who was saying something, "I know he's here to protect you, but it's still too reckless, as a Wind Resistant, he actually fought the sawtooth beast that is famous for its melee combat power before mastering elementalization, stupid, stupid." Tomorrow, your first task is to protect yourself, unless it is a low-level demonic beast, it will be all up to me. ā€

Augustin saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is tired, let's rest today, and everyone should pay attention to their safety tomorrow." ā€

With that, Augustine walked towards his tent, and the others returned to their tents to rest.
