Chapter 413: Shadows

Twenty miles to the east of Longding City, the climate and environment began to show a strange change, a yellow sand line spread ruggedly along the foot of the Yiningkas Mountains, and came to an abrupt end when encountering a broken valley mouth, beyond the valley is the vast Gobi, less than 500 meters deep into the valley, there began to be dense perfusion and woods, and then after walking through the narrow valley of 1,000 meters, it was Kaikai white snow that covered the ground.

"Be careful, after crossing the valley ahead, there is a dangerous zone where the army and caravan will go missing, don't miss any clues, and don't leave my side to act on your own, I don't want you to be one of those missing people. ”

Although he had always been skeptical about Lear and Mrak's abilities, Serig took on his responsibilities as captains, and their mission was only to find out the mystery of the army's disappearance, not to fight, and Serig was quite confident in himself when it came to tracking him, otherwise he would not have taken on this task alone.

"Okay, but don't we need to fix the tail in the back first?"

It's not that Lear's observation is keen, but as the farther away they leave Longding City and go deep into the Gobi, the less cover they can use to hide their figures, and now the hundred or so people behind them are simply blatantly following them, and several of them are still the big-eared monsters who vigorously mocked Serig when he appeared in the tavern, as we all know, the basic occupation of this race is thieves, robbers, and kidnappers, and these people are now gathered in a group and follow behind, the purpose is simply unknown.

"Let them go!" Serig gritted his teeth, "If they're still following after entering the valley, we'll stop and ask them what the hell they're trying to do!", Lear shrugged his shoulders with a look of resignation.

In fact, he knew what the group of people behind him wanted to do, to be honest, if it weren't for this scene, he would have almost forgotten his talent of being surrounded and robbed when he first arrived at Kronnie, and it was not difficult for him to make the hundred or so people behind him disappear silently with his current means, but thinking of the rumor in the tavern, he had other plans in his heart, which was also the biggest reason why the group of people behind him were still alive now.

Unfortunately, not everyone could understand his rare kindness, at least not the group of people behind him who were determined to make a cameo appearance as thieves, because as soon as the three Lears stepped into the valley, the group immediately quickened their pace and surrounded them.

"Stop!"

Perhaps it was because he was afraid that he would not die fast enough, and the big-eared monster in front of him shouted loudly when he was still two or three hundred meters away from Lear.

"Go behind me. Even if he was a fledgling, watching the hundred and ten men with menacing faces chasing after him like this, Serig also knew that today's things could not be good, but his words rarely aroused a little favor of Lear, and he did not say anything at the moment, and hid behind Serig according to his words, while Mlak remained in place like an iron tower as if he had not heard.

"What do you want to do?"

Serig drew his weapon, and made a fierce warning expression on his fanged face, his Adam's apple rolled, like a threatened wolf let out a low growl, in fact, his weapon was nothing more than a thick wooden stick with a few iron nails nailed to be used as a mace, so you can imagine how much deterrent it can be.

"Boy, this has nothing to do with you, stand aside with each other, and we may be able to divide your two silver coins afterwards, don't make yourself uncomfortable. The orc, who seemed to know of Serig's poverty, did not look at him at all, and his greedy eyes fell on Serig's back all along, as if there was a crispy yellow and fragrant lamb that had been skinned and boiled in oil.

"Roar!"

To Lear's surprise, Serig let out an angry roar at the orc, which was not as fierce as an adult ogre, but contained a lot of fighting spirit and rage. "They are my friends, if you want to move them, first ask me if I have the weapon in my hand!"

"Friend?" the orc leader froze for a moment, then made a blank look, and burst into an insolent laugh as his eyes made contact with his companion behind him.

"Hahahahaha

After laughing, the orc warned viciously, although he was not afraid of Serrig, but if an ogre went crazy, it would still cause them a little damage, and because the people here had come together on a temporary basis, he didn't want to hurt himself and cheapen others.

Mrak turned back to Lear and cast an inquiring look, and the latter shook his head slightly, which meant to keep as much alive as possible, it would be useful for him to wait, but what they didn't expect was Serig's reaction, the young ogre suddenly stomped heavily on the sand in front of him, and the huge force caused the flat ground to sink into a deep pit with a diameter of one meter.

"As long as my team doesn't disband for a day, I have an obligation to protect them, whatever you want to do, unless you step on my corpse!" Although the arm holding the wooden stick could not stop trembling slightly, it was clear from Serig's determined eyes that he was serious.

"Hmph, since you want to die, then I will fulfill you, up!" However, what the orc leader did not expect was that before he could form a complete sonic circuit in the air, a heavy swamp suddenly appeared under their feet, and he could feel his lower body as heavy as lead just by standing still.

And then a dark green thick water elemental ripple suddenly appeared around them, and in less than half a second, all of them dissolved into everyone's body, the bulging muscles became relaxed, and the power that filled all parts of the body began to disappear rapidly.

"Magician! That man is a magician!"

It was only at this time that some of the people in the group finally realized that something was wrong, for the people who lived in the land of Krurod, the shadow of the centuries-old rule of the mage empire had made the term magician a high-minded and nightmarish endorsement, and if they had known that the young man was a magician, they would not dare to fight each other for twenty more daring ideas.

"What are you afraid of! There are only three of them! Kill them and we will live, do you want him to bring another army to kill you and burn you in the square?"

At the critical moment, it was the half-orc who shouted to stop the commotion in the team, I have to say that his words are very infectious, and no one here can afford the consequences of offending a magician, although there are mages in the enemy's ranks, but in fact, the situation of my outnumbered enemies has not changed, as long as these three people are killed, then no one will say anything about the matter here, and then thinking of the rich net worth that a magician may have, those people even have red eyes.

Serig looked back at Lear in a daze, not surprised by the sudden reinforcements, but with a kind of anger that was played, "You didn't tell me you were a magician", Lear shrugged helplessly after hearing this: "You didn't ask me, but I think we should solve the trouble in front of us first." ”

As if he felt that Lear's words made sense, or that the mage that suddenly appeared gave him great confidence, Serig nodded sullenly and turned around to directly burst out a war cry and actively attack the bandits.

"Stay alive!" shouted Lear as he jumped up from behind as Mrak turned into a violent whirlwind and rushed into the rabble before Serig.

The process of the battle was nothing short of lackluster, and in the face of this makeshift group of thieves, mercenaries, robbers, and crappy merchants, Mrak did not even draw his own weapons, and even a few who were slightly stronger in combat became as unbearable as soft-footed shrimp under the double spell curse of sluggish** and weak.

Serig, after accidentally smashing the heads of several bandits with his stick, finally remembered Lear's advice to keep him alive, so he followed Mlak's example and waved his fist the size of a casserole, but even those people were smashed into pieces by his punches.

Almost three minutes later, the only people who could still stand on the field were the three of them, and there were moans like killing pigs and twitching bodies like grasshoppers everywhere, Serig looked at his fists in a daze, as if he realized his strength for the first time, "Hahahaha, cool! This is the first time I've fought so happily, who is it, can you teach me magic, it's really cool to fight like this!"

Lear pursed his lips when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was cool that you didn't have the power to fight back just because you beat others, and then he stepped forward to check the situation of the group of bandits who fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Mlak is very measured, and although Serig is not measured, but fortunately, the barbarians are rough and thick-skinned, and they belong to the beat-resistant type, except for a few big-eared monsters and some humans who were directly killed by Sereg before, there are at least more than ninety of the hundred or so people alive.

Lear even found two large heavy crossbows at the back of the crowd that required the combined efforts of two orcs to operate, weapons that were normally only available to the military, and it seemed that the background of these people was a little more complicated than he thought.

But it doesn't matter, these people are now at his disposal.

A burst of aqua blue light flashed on the ground, and the bandits who were holding the broken bones and flesh and moaning were stunned to find that their injuries had miraculously improved, although they had not yet reached the level of full recovery, but at least they did not affect their actions.

"Now you have two choices. "Lear is confident in his healing spells, and he can't cure people, but it's definitely not enough to kill people. "First, let my companions break your bones one by one and throw them in the wilderness to feed the wolves, and the second one will take up your weapons and go to the front to clear the way for us, if you encounter any danger you can escape, I will not chase you down, choose now. ”

As long as you don't have a problem with your head, you naturally know what to answer when faced with such a multiple-choice question, especially after experiencing the overwhelming abuse of Mrak and Serig, almost without hesitation, all the thieves got up from the ground and expressed their willingness to lead the way.

Lear was pleased with the effect, and a burst of green light flickered through the room again, and only half a second later the bandits found themselves with a cool magical mark on their chests.

"Let's go now. Lear waved his hand.

At the same time, in the sky with Lear's palm, within the thick cloud, a compound eye with a shimmering scarlet light recorded everything that happened at the mouth of the valley, and then transmitted it to a cave dozens of miles away.
