Chapter 40: The Dragon's Bone and the Greave
Lear led the team to rest overnight in an abandoned cave on the mountainside, because Adela needed meditation to recover his mana, and he needed it, so that the warriors could easily treat their wounds, and the deeper reason was that the seemingly small mountain wall was too difficult to climb.
Even if you start to move up from the back of the ridge, the steep slope is still almost at a right angle, which reminds Lear of the Five Fingers Mountain in the TV series in his previous life, and I don't know how the fair-skinned and beautiful monk climbed it.
Lear was exhausted after climbing a distance of almost two hundred meters, but the barbarian still maintained his abundant physical strength and high spirits, so the young mage arranged for him to go to vigil, because as long as he thought of the other party's great achievements in climbing the snow-capped mountain of Aliland, Lear had a headache of envy and jealousy.
When will I be able to have a strong body?
They were still about halfway to the top, and there were no trees on the bare ridge to hide, so when they appeared in front of the banshee's lair, they were greeted by a fierce battle.
Maybe the banshees had noticed it when they set off, but for some unknown reason they didn't attack them.
Nor did they run away.
Sleep, tomorrow will be better.
............
When Lear and the others were still fifty meters away from the top of the mountain the next day, a dozen banshees rushed out of the lair screaming, as he had predicted, but this time they did not sing, but spread their wings noisily and hovered over everyone's heads, staring at everyone, especially Lear, with a fierce and resentful look in their eyes.
"Hello, I need five tickets for the group concert, is there a group purchase price?"
Lear pulls a copper out of his purse and throws it into the air as the banshees hover.
The battle began.
First of all, the barbarian, wielding his battle axe, roared and rushed to the top of the mountain, the steep slope of which was as flat as the ground at his feet, followed by Guina and Mrak, who were a little slower but not much different.
Sure enough, it was only the mages who were forced to suffer.
The two harpies pounced on Haag from the left and right flanks at the same time, their sharp front claws reflecting a little cold light in the sunlight, but the barbarian was undaunted, and he slashed the battle axe from his left rib up in a semicircle, and the blade of the axe encompassed the bodies of both banshees at the same time.
"Quack!"
The banshees did not dare to challenge Haag's axe blade with their bodies, and suddenly stopped their bodies in mid-air, but then Mrak half-knelt on the ground and leveled the blade of his sword with both hands, and after Guina stepped on his sword, he stood up and raised the sword above his head.
Guina flew.
The red fighting qi streaked through the air in a brief rainbow, and the four pieces of body fell to the ground with blood flowing down.
Two lives with one sword.
"Listen to my will, O spirit of water that swims in the air, and freeze these ugly monsters so that they have nothing to hide. "Ice Ring!"
As Lear's spell ended, a cloud of white light suddenly exploded in the air where the banshees gathered, and dozens of fist-sized ice crystals shot around like bullets with the white light as the center, and after a series of terrible screams, six or seven harpies fell down covered in blood, but all those who still breathed after landing, the warriors all stepped forward to make up for it.
Sensing the mage's threat, the remaining banshees all screamed and lunged at Lear's side, but he and Adela chanted a spell to speed up their attacks at the same time.
The already extremely fast Mrak was like a god after receiving the blessing of the spell, and after two rushes, he returned to the mage, and he danced his sword above his head into a dense sword net, and the barbarian grabbed the female warrior by the waist from behind, and threw her into the air.
Guina rolled forward in the air at a hundred and eighty degrees, slashing the neck of one of the banshees with her long sword, and then her toes lightly touched the back of the other banshee, and then she took off again, turning over and piercing the banshee's wings with a sword, and then fell to the ground.
Haq jumped up from the ground, grabbed the banshee, who had lost her balance from a winged injury, and tore her off with force, then smashed straight into a lump of flesh on the rock in front of him.
There was nothing worth mentioning about the battle that followed, and the banshees were killed and wounded by the cooperation of the mages and warriors, until the last banshee, whose body was dominated by fear, finally decided to flee, and Mrak grabbed the hilt of his sword and threw the sword like a javelin.
A place of blood, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
"Chop off one of their front paws and go back to the task. ”
Lear instructed Haag and walked towards the banshee's lair, which usually had some precious resources in the lair, but most of all he wanted to satisfy his curiosity about exploring the cave.
Hag sat down depressed and began to chop his paws, while Mlak threw the corpses one by one from a distance, the two ladies certainly would not have participated in such a bloody operation, they followed Lear, and the barbarian swung his tomahawk and fell as if he were killing chickens.
Despite being close to the top of the mountain, the banshees' lair remained eerie and gloomy, which was also to the liking of all dungeon creatures, and Guina used her sword to cut through the thick vines in front of her, and the more you went inside, the stronger the fishy smell of the underground creatures became.
"Why is it so deep?"
Lear covered his nose and grumbled angrily, not in the slightest of his willingness to enter.
Adela pulled out two silk scarves out of nowhere, one covering her nose and the other to Guina in front of her, not thinking about Lear at all.
The three of them reached the bottom of the cave at the sound of Guina slashing through obstacles, and although they had been prepared, the scene presented inside still made Adela frown deeply.
At least Lear didn't know that the Harpy was an oviparous creature, and the dozen or so juvenile Harpies in front of him also began to eat the rotting human corpses around them after eating up their own eggshells.
"Kill them. ”
Lear did not hesitate to give instructions to Guina.
After a faint scream, the bottom of the cavern began to fill the cavern with a thick smell of blood, in addition to the dark and obscure smell of dampness.
Lear walked over the corpses and fresh corpses on the ground and began to search for something in the cave, and soon he found some gold and a small amount of gems in a corner of the cave, which were supposed to be the relics of those who had been taken into the cave by the banshees, and of course now Lear was the rightful heir.
"If you can't stand it, go out first, I can do it alone. ”
Seeing that the two ladies behind him did not move, Lear carefully put the gold and jewelry into the purse and laughed.
The smell of corruption and gore here was indeed torture for the beautiful lady, but he didn't mind, the thirst for gold coins gave him great motivation and endurance.
Sure enough, both Adela and Guina looked relieved when they heard him say this, and walked out of the cave without looking back, and every minute they spent here felt that their skin would be stained with a lot of filth and germs.
Lear shrugged his shoulders and turned to begin his treasure hunt.
Be meticulous and not let a single gold coin be buried in this boundless darkness.
An hour later, as Hagdu was about to fall asleep against the boulder behind him, the young mage leader finally emerged from the cave.
"Look what I found!"
Lear exaggeratedly lifted his trouser leg to reveal the two pieces of stuff that were attached to his calf, and then walked over like a duck.
No one responded to him, and a gust of sun-scorched wind shook the sand and gravel on the top of the mountain, and at last only Guina couldn't help but let out a "poof" laugh.
It's very embarrassing.
"Why don't you ask me?"
Lear was puzzled, couldn't these people discover the value of this treasure?
"Oh, what did you find?"
The mage asked nonchalantly, though her luck sounded clearly a statement rather than an interest.
"Keel shins! It's a treasure, but I'm not going to give it to you. ”
"Oh. ”
"Don't tell me you've all heard of this. ”
Lear was very depressed by his companion's behavior, like a child who struggled to find a beautiful pebble from the river to show off in front of his friends, but everyone agreed that it would be better to catch a few crickets in the grass when they had this time.
"You can tell us. ”
Adela was as cold as ever.
"One for each of your strength and knowledge! That is, you can cast at least two more first-level magic or one second-level magic with this. ”
After listening to Lear's explanation, the eyes of these people on the top of the mountain gradually lit up.
"Show me!"
The female mage held out her hand to the captain.
"No way! It's mine!"
Lear lowered his pants and sat down to cover his calves firmly.
"Take a look, don't want yours. ”
"No, I refuse. ”
"Five gold coins. ”
"Deal!"
