Chapter 223: Encounter
A few days later
A miserable white moon hung in the sky, indicating that the time had entered the middle of the night, and gusts of cold wind were howling wantonly, bringing a touch of the night's unique coolness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, Aaron was walking on a dry grass, surrounded by dry and gray trees, and the sky seemed a little gloomy and gray, like a whitewashed blackboard, which could not hide the gloomy atmosphere for a while.
This is the 'Bland Forest', and it's about half a day's way from the mountains where the Misty Swamp is located.
In order to rush back to the academy as soon as possible, Aaron did not choose to take the regular route, but directly crossed half of the Tut Kingdom and took the closest 'shortcut'.
The end of this shortcut is the 'Blight Forest', and once you pass through this forest, you will find the mountain range where the Mist Academy is located.
Originally, Aaron was riding a wildebeest all the way, but when he entered the blighted forest, he was attacked by an iron-threaded wolf, and the other party was just a low-level monster, far from reaching the level of a wizard, so it was naturally easily solved by Aaron.
However, when Aaron was crushing the clema, he didn't notice the wildebeest.........
As a result, after he had finished dealing with the clemat wolf, he found that the wildebeest had run to gnaw on the grass on his own, but was bitten to death by a blood-skinned snake that sprang out of the grass.............
Aaron was also helpless, as if in anger after making a meal of the Bloodskin Snake, he had no choice but to walk on foot.
Luckily, Aaron has good eyesight, and he's a shadow phantom wizard himself, with a fairly high affinity for shadows.
Therefore, even if he walked in the forest at night, there would be no visual interference.
Salad salad ...........
In the entire forest, only the sound of Aaron walking on the grass slowly echoed in the air, not only was it extremely cold, but even the echo of footsteps could be heard clearly—as if there was a person behind him, repeating the same pace over and over again.
In addition, most of the creatures in the forest are asleep, but there are also some unknown small animals at night, which are quietly moving.
Instigation.............
They made a sound like the murmur of a sleeping man, or the murmur of a girl in a dream, and if you listen carefully, you will feel an indescribable irritation.
Aaron chose to ignore this and continued to move forward calmly.
In fact, Aaron also knows some rumors about this forest - this forest is very strange, and most of the plants are 'dead' things.
To be precise, it's not strange that plants are dying, but what's really strange is that after these plants 'die', they continue to grow, growing from small dead trees to 'towering dead trees'!
Dead trees keep their life alive, and if an axe cuts off their rhizomes, it will shed a miserable white plant sap, which is one of the more commonly used pigments.
I heard that the wizards of Lilita's hut liked to use this paint to paint people's faces......... Especially the dead face.
Because, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, this paint emits bursts of chuckles on time, which is quite in line with the perverted hobby of the wizards of Lilita's hut.
Hee hee hee ~ .........
Sure enough, bursts of chuckles erupted from the dead trees around them, suggesting that it was twelve.
This phenomenon is the origin of the name "bland forest", and it is also one of the characteristics of bland forest.
Aaron ignored this, burrowed directly into a bush, and walked towards the end of the blighted forest in the direction indicated by the chip.
Salad salad .........
Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.........
The echo of his own footsteps and the faint laughter around him make for an annoying background music.
Fortunately, Aaron had expected everything for a long time, ignored everything, and firmly stepped on the dry and gray blades of grass, and walked forward.
Soon, Aaron crossed the meadow and came to the front of a large bush, and suddenly, Aaron's footsteps paused, and his ears twisted slightly, as if listening to something.
"That's not right!"
Aaron seemed to have noticed something, and he pushed a little the ground under his feet, and his body avoided the other side-
Bang bang!!
Wind blades flew out of the bushes in front of him and hit Aaron's original position, immediately blowing up pieces of mud and dust, and setting off a cloud of dust!
"There's an ambush! they're squatting!!"
Aaron immediately judged the situation.
Apparently, someone laid a trap in front of him and attacked ahead of time because of his own vigilance!
"Who the hell are they?Why are they attacking me?!"
Aaron's brows furrowed slightly, and a doubt couldn't help but appear in his heart.
However, doubts are doubts, Aaron's hand movements are non-stop, but seeing his right hand make a random move, shadow arrows quickly appeared in the air around his body, shooting towards the low bushes in front of him!
However, there seemed to be an invisible transparent wall in the air, and shadow arrows hit the walls, and bursts of crashing sounds—
Dingdingding!!
All the Shadow Arrows exploded at the point of impact, turning into waves of black air that spread out, temporarily blocking the field of vision for a breath!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aaron retreated violently to the other side, with a hint of solemnity in his expression-
"They're definitely prepared!"
At this moment, the fog in front of him suddenly exploded, and wind blades burst one after another, vowing to put Aaron to death!
Moreover, the density of these wind blades is not something that any one wizard can unleash, at least two illusion wizards must join forces - it means that the ambusher has at least two illusion wizards!
Boom!!
Wind blades cut through the mist, revealing everything behind the mist, and taking this opportunity, Aaron finally saw the ambusher who attacked him-
A young man with a round face and a young man with a sausage-mouthed face, both dressed in academic gray robes, and what caught Aaron's attention the most was a pale gray badge on their shoulders, on which depicted a palm and a tornado.
"Hand of the Storm?!"
Aaron was startled and recognized the origin of this badge, but now he could not be distracted, because the wind blades that were surging all over the sky completely surrounded him!
In the bushes not far away, the round-faced young man couldn't help but sneer after seeing Aaron surrounded by the wind blade: "Hmph~! This phantom witch is also too careless, it seems that he doesn't know the 'news' yet, but that's all." ”
"With the sneak attack we prepared in advance, we can definitely end the life of this witch. ”
The sausage-mouthed young man next to him smiled and said, "Yes~, it seems that our academy points can be increased by a few points..........."
Just as the two of them were relieved, suddenly, the center point surrounded by the wind blade in front of them erupted with bursts of dark sword light!
The next moment, all the wind blades were swept away, and a ghost-like figure rushed out and killed the two youths!
