Chapter 56: Bloodstains

The most gifted magician in the history of mankind was almost attacked by an ordinary reptilian to open the bud, which was quite embarrassing to say, and the quasi-magus himself was also taken aback by this sudden appearance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at the little snake still struggling on the ground, the future Ultra Magister looked shocked.

After getting rid of the burrowing beetle, Luo Luo came over and patted the boy on the shoulder, comforting, "In the dungeon, danger can come from any unexpected place, in the sky, on the ground, in the grass, among the treetops...... If you're not careful, you'll lose your life, but you've done a good job, and it seems that our previous training has worked. ”

The quasi-magister had a dull expression and didn't say a word, just staring blankly at the little snake that was nailed to the ground with a bow and arrow.

The girl thought to herself that this thing should not be scared stupid, but she couldn't blame him, scholars generally stayed at home in places like libraries and council halls, and few people would go on adventures in the wild, let alone run to dangerous places like dungeons, and the first time they encountered a fatal attack, it was normal for the teenager to behave like this, at least just now he knew that it was not.

Thinking of this, the rookie brave couldn't help but soften his tone a little more, and said step by step, "Temporary difficulties should not be a reason to hinder our progress, don't be afraid of the hardships and dangers ahead, because every setback will make a person stronger." ”

"What the hell, why did you suddenly pour me chicken soup for the soul in broad daylight?!"

This time, the magician finally reacted, but the words that came out of his mouth almost didn't make Lolo half angry.

The rookie brave was just about to blow up his hair, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and continued to play the role of a confidant sister, apologizing like someone, "I'm sorry, it may be that my previous statement is a little inappropriate, but I think fear is actually not a shameful thing, and admitting the fear in my heart does not mean that a person is a coward, in fact, on the contrary, only those who dare to face the fear in their hearts are real warriors." After a pause, the girl added, "This is what my master once told me. ”

"Well, I don't know why you said that, but it always feels like you've misunderstood something. Rob finally looked away from the little snake and asked the little swordsman beside him, "How much do you know about the Zapatista Flying Snake?"

"Eh, did you say this little guy?" the rookie brave looked dazed, "I'...... I hadn't heard of this creature before. ”

Elven archer Baker's heart moved, "The Zapata Flying Snake is a kind of poisonous snake unique to the Belen Plains, and the poison contained in the venom can be ranked among the top thirty snakes, but its personality is relatively docile, and it generally feeds on squirrels, hares and birds, and there are very few incidents of Zapata Flying Snake attacking people and animals, and I am also very strange to say, why did it take the initiative to sneak attack you for no reason?"

"Because this Zapatista flying snake is bred by man. The magician said lightly, "The patterns under its lower abdomen are the best proof, the wild Zapatista Flying Snake has a relatively light pattern, and according to legend, a certain snake taming school will feed the domesticated Zapatista Flying Snake a special metal, this metal will make the Zapatista Flying Snake's body harder, and the pattern color is darker, hey, it was really hard to hit just now, my long sword almost came off." ”

Someone's words suddenly made the nerves of the expedition team tense again, and Hansen's face was solemn, "You said that the reason why this snake attacked you was because of the master's order?"

However, the second-order swordsman was a little incomprehensible, he had only just entered the dungeon for a short time, and he had not gained anything yet, so what benefit could he get from attacking them at this time, and robbing some supplies? If the team went deeper, it was not impossible, but now they were less than a day's journey from the entrance of the dungeon, and they could go back to the camp directly after taking two more steps, and there was no need to work hard here for a few cold meals and people they didn't know.

"Don't be nervous, I don't think anyone is going to target us at this point. Rob pointed to the little snake that was struggling desperately on the ground, "It didn't attack me because it was instructed by anyone, in fact, on the contrary, the reason why it was so aggressive was because its owner hung up." ”

"Huh? ”

"It's easy, because it's me. "As long as you are not blind, you can see that I am just a dispensable character in the squad, assuming that you are the owner of this Zapatista flying snake, if you have the opportunity to kill one of us before the battle, you may choose Captain Hansen from the perspective of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, you can also choose the archer from the perspective of guarding against ranged professions, and from the perspective of prioritizing the treatment you can even choose the blonde fool over there............ Anyway, no matter which angle you start from in the end, there is no reason to pick on me as a marginal person. ”

“............”

"Well, while your analysis makes a lot of sense, is it really good to admit that you're a waste of wood like that?"

Edward's eyes lit up as the old thief, "You said its owner is no longer there, could it be that the young master of the Matthews family who died?" or someone in his guard, does anyone know who ever had a snake?"

"This, does not rule out the possibility of this. "Since this little thing is here, the corpse shouldn't be too far away, how about it, do you want to search around?"

The last thing the boy said was the squad leader.

The second-order swordsman thought of the extremely generous reward, and his heart was also hot, and he nodded after a while, "Okay, let's move faster, remember that our focus is still that secret treasure, at most one magic, no matter whether we are found in the end or not, we must continue to hurry, in addition, when searching, at least two people in a group, pay attention to the dangers around you, you have also seen what happened just now, and you can't relax your vigilance in this kind of place for a moment." ”

"Uh-huh. The quasi-magister also had to admit that he had been a little careless just now, after all, he didn't have a staff by his side now, and it was obviously not safe to rely purely on perceiving elemental fluctuations.

The search soon progressed, and less than half an hour later, Amy, the old thief's young attendant, made a discovery, pointed to a bush and excitedly said, "Look, there's blood here!"

However, the others couldn't be happy at all when they heard the news, it had been more than half a year since the Marthews family's expedition disappeared, and it was hard to say how many bones those guys still had, let alone blood, and the blood stains under the bushes were still very fresh, obviously it couldn't be the guy they were looking for.
