Chapter 453: First Contact

This wall is enchanted, there's no doubt about it. www.biquge.info First of all, it is located at the exit of the secret passage - where the two of them finally arrive, in the heart of the forest. The wall seemed to be forever shrouded in a layer of mist, emitting a powerful magic that kept the animals that inhabited the forest away.

Second, a glimpse is enough. The rugged wall was inlaid with a deep purple gem that made the priesthood badge that hung on Dominic's chest tremble. He pinched his badge and stared at the purple gem with his dark brown pupils. Maffeo behind him squirmed his lips and spoke. "What is this?"

"A place of magic, I didn't expect to see this thing in a place like this. Dominic quipped.

"Where the magic is?uh...... Can you explain?" said Maffeo, embarrassed, he had never heard of this thing before.

Dominic turned, "That's very simple, the place of magic is a magic circle set up by a traveling magician to absorb the magic in the air, so you should be able to understand, right?"

"Are you hinting at something?" said Maffeo, spreading his hands. "For example, the magician exists here or something......"

"Indeed, if the mage leaves here, then the magical place will not affect the animals here and resonate with certain magical items. It's still working, which means that the magicians who set up this magical place haven't left this place yet. Dominic turned, straightened his arm and gently brushed the purple gem set in the place of magic, and his badge stopped shaking.

Maffeo circled Dominic and walked to the place of magic, observing with interest. "It's a work of art, and the glow from the gemstone can even affect the entire wall. Well, I guess those guys should be called artists and not magicians. ”

"The joke can be made later. Dominic leaned out of the exit of the secret passage, then leaped out of the exit and returned to the ground.

The leaves and branches under the feet of the two had long since become dry and brittle, and every step on them made a "crunching" sound, which sounded particularly harsh in the silent forest at night. So much so that with every step forward, the two of them would stay in place for two seconds, alerting to the situation around them. There are many dangers lurking in the dark forest, but Dominic has put almost all of his attention on finding the Dark Order.

Maffeo was sure he had stepped on something, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a recurve compound bow. "Hey, Dominic......" he called softly.

"What's wrong?" Dominic, who was walking in front, asked, looking back.

"I found a recurve compound bow, a hunter's favorite. Maffeo picked the bow from the ground and took it in his hand to test the strength of the bowstring. "Nice stuff. He couldn't help but admire.

Dominic walked over and looked at the recurve bow in Maffeo's hand for a moment. "A recurve compound bow commonly used by the guys of the Elwyn Line Hunters Association, and you see, there is the logo of the Elwyn Line Hunters Association on the bow face. ”

"But why is it here? I mean this recurve bow. Maffeo gestured to the bow in his hand.

"To get to the point, it at least proves that some hunter from the Elwyn Line has been here. Indeed, this place was an excellent place for hunting, and it was before the appearance of the magic that I had seen before. Dominic looked around and analyzed.

"I don't know if this has something to do with the Dark Order. Maffeo pursed his lips and wrapped the recurve bow around his sword belt and carried it behind his back.

Dominic looked at him disdainfully, "Are you sure you want to take this thing with you, it will affect how quickly you can draw your sword, and this recurve bow is not suitable for combat, it is specially designed for hunting, not to mention that you don't have any arrows at all." ”

"If I encounter a lost owner, I will return it to him. Of course, if you can't find him, it's a good thing to keep it as a collection. Moreover, I never said that I was going to fight with it. Maffeo smiled. "I don't have any resistance to a well-made weapon after all. ”

Dominic turned his head away and continued to walk forward on the branches. "Yes, that's you, ghost swordsman. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a small arc.

As the two of them walked a distance of about a hundred yards, the outline of a solemn-looking building appeared in their field of vision. Almost at the same time, the two of them observed a dark shadow flashing in front of the solemn building, followed by a sense of threat. Dominique and Maffeo quickly lowered their bodies, trying to keep their feet lightly touching the ground.

Several dark shadows moved quickly towards this side, and through the gaps in the vegetation, Dominic watched the movement on the other side with his blessed eyes that were blessed with the perception of holy light. Unable to do anything, Maffeo can only act according to Dominic's instructions, and in this place, he is the one who stands at the apex of light and looks down on everything. And he is a blind man in the dark.

Without looking back, Dominic made a gesture at Feobie and motioned for him to go around to the side. Although the latter didn't know what Dominic's plan was, he could only choose to trust the other party in this situation. So he turned slowly, like a snail, and while making sure that the hilt of his sword behind his back was not visible to his enemies, he moved his body with his hands and feet.

The other party obviously slowed down after approaching, otherwise the two would have had nothing to hide. From a brief moment of perception, Dominic was able to confirm the identity of the other party - mutants, and this kind of stuff is almost everywhere here. It's just that he doesn't want to have too much contact with these guys, because once the battle starts, it is inevitable to alarm the guys of the Dark Order.

On the other side, Maffeo, who had moved to the side of the bushes, drew his sword from his back with a very small movement, and stared with bated breath at a dark figure that was approaching his location. He thought that he might not be able to help Dominic for a while. In a brief moment, Maffeo used his ghost hand to pull a bottle of cat's eye potion out of the potional bag hanging from his belt. He drank the cat's eye drops almost in a doggy position, as his hands touched the fragile branches as soon as they were raised.

The dark shadow was still slowly approaching, and Maffeo, who had drunk the cat's eye drop, was already able to see the other person's face clearly. Sure enough, it was the last thing he wanted to meet in this place - mutants. Maffeo gritted his teeth and clenched his greatsword. He didn't know if he should act rashly now, and judging from his position, he could easily pounce and slash the big sword into the guy's head.

Dominic had already changed his position by this time, lying on his back behind the bushes. A series of gestures were quickly made in his hand, and although the golden light that emanated from such a dark space was sure to be discovered by the other party, it might create a good opportunity for Maffeo. Dominic finally smashed his fist into the air in front of him, and the light burst out of his fist, illuminating the area he was in.

The mutant in front of Maffeo's eyes was suddenly attracted by the light and turned away, and the opportunity appeared in this instant. Maffeo leapt out from behind the bushes, and although the mutants sensed the danger behind them, Maffeo's greatsword had already sliced through the air. The greatsword swung vertically in the air ninety degrees, slashing straight into the mutant's head. Maffeo threw a palm forward with his left hand, and made up for a blast of blood qi that shattered the guy's body.

The smell of blood filled the air, and Dominic smiled slightly, knowing that Maffeo had seized his chance. "Good job, ghost, but I'm not going to leave all the tasks of cleaning up evil to you. He jumped out from behind the bushes and pulled out the cross.
