Chapter 8: Echoes of Demonic Energy
The image of the sad crystal flashed through my mind, and I shivered and looked at the elf in front of me again, she was still so perfect that I couldn't be picky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I pulled myself together and took a closer look at everything around me again, and for a moment, I felt the space around me distort a little, and the elf walked over with a wooden cup. I closed my eyes tightly, and when I opened them again, I saw a beetle crawling past the tip of my nose.
I struggled to get up from the ground, and where there was no garden, only dead grass and long dead trees, and the Seven of Theon were still lying on the ground with psychedelic expressions on their faces, not knowing what they had seen in the magic of the elves.
I woke them up one by one, and they realized that they were trapped in the elves' barrier, but luckily there was no one around to take us down while we were unconscious, which was a blessing in misfortune.
"What a place this is. Garn stretched his massive body to relieve the fatigue of climbing the secret passage. We searched the vicinity carefully, where the huge trees were so thick that they needed seven or eight men to hug them, but they were all dead, the dilapidated tree houses still bearing the signs of battle, and the surrounding scenery was so desolate that not a single bird could be found.
"Could it be that this is the Whispering Forest of the Divine Wood Elves?" Owen stroked the huge tree trunk, the deep cut marks still visible. The giant tree was silent and did not answer, but we all knew it was true: the home of the Divine Wood Elves had been destroyed.
"Lorraine's secret passage leads directly to the realm of the Divine Wood Elves, which is quite interesting. "Sain opened the map and looked at the Witch Bone Mountains in the distance, and confirmed that we were in a realm called Kexia at this time, and he looked at the Moldes Mine, but on the other side of the Witch Bone Mountains, in the middle of which was the raging Spirit River, and it was clear that we did not have boats.
Sain continued to search east for the way back, and to the east of us was the endless shepherd's steppe, and I feared that the party would have to cross the barbarian-infested steppe in search of a place to cross the river in the gentler lower reaches of the Tiaoling River.
Sain told us the general route, and we were silent, because the road was full of dangerous races, and I was afraid that the return journey would be extremely difficult.
But we are treasure hunters, and treasure is always with danger, and since we easily obtained the Moon Scepter, it is impossible for us to make it back to Aria without any problems, and my good friend Lange was the first treasure hunter to fall on the road.
We didn't set off right away, the team was so tired that Sain told us to rest on the spot for the night. I walked around a few times and then returned to the campfire and opened the copy of Echoes of Magical Energy.
There are many ways to cultivate magic energy, the most common of which is meditation luck, I used this method before, but it is the lowest method in meditation, not only time-consuming, but also physically demanding, the effect is not very good, I basically gave up after persisting for a while, so I only have a little bit of demonic energy in my body wandering, completely unable to keep up with my magic consumption.
In the Duke of Targris's house, I learned a lot of magic spells, at that time I was still young, playing with the duke's son every day, and the magic he learned was able to be mastered by me in less than two days.
"Echo of Demonic Energy" talks about the cultivation method of demonic energy, which agitates demonic energy by setting echo patterns in the body. Luckily, the Duke let me learn to read with his precious son, and I recognized the words in the book. I followed the method of "Echoes of Magical Energy" to stir up the magic energy in my body, and I felt that the magic energy was immediately enhanced, and once the lines were completed, I no longer consumed physical strength and energy to drive the magic energy, which was really ten times better than the previous meditation method. Of course, it's not that the meditation method is bad, but the method I learned is not good, and this is taught to the little Targris by the most ordinary magician, and I believe that the old duke must have taught the little duke a better method, and it is naturally impossible for me to learn it as a small servant at that time.
I cultivated almost until I couldn't bear it anymore before I got into the sleeping cloak, but when I woke up the next day, I found that even when I was sleeping, the magic energy could slowly reverberate in the lines, although it was a little slower, but I was indeed able to cultivate all day.
This was probably the biggest takeaway of my trip, but of course everything had to go back to Aria to make up my mind, after all, as long as I didn't make it back to Icewind Dale, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen.
After stepping out of a dead whispering forest, we soon set foot on the shepherd's meadow, and from then on we dared to march only in the darkness, for in the endless steppe we would soon be discovered by the barbarians, and although the journey in the darkness was much slower, it was much safer.
On the night of the fifth day of entering the grassland, we continued to advance in the dark, and Sain estimated that we were almost at the border of the grassland, and for several days we had seen many barbarian tribes, with great bonfires and cheerful crowds all night long, and we did not know what festival they were celebrating.
Garn, who was walking in front, walked in front by the bright moonlight, and I was silently focusing on part of the cultivation of demonic energy in my body, when Garn in front suddenly roared, and we were scared a lot in the night.
"What are you doing? be quiet!" Thine scolded and hurried forward, only to see Garn sitting on the ground clutching his ankles.
"Lizard, watch out for the lizard, it bit my foot. ”
Gage hurriedly checked his injuries, only to see that a large piece of the leggings had been torn off, and black blood was leaking from the flesh turned out.
"It's a long-tongued lizard, watch out for the barbs on its tongue. Gage shouted, and hurriedly took out the medicine to treat Garn's wounds.
"It's still nearby, pay attention, it's eyeing us. "Oakburn arched his stance, and everyone was ready to fight, because we all knew how terrible this lizard was.
I stared at the shadowy corridor in front of me, trying to keep my eyes open and not slackening in the slightest. Suddenly, a slight sound crossed in the darkness, and a figure had leapt into the air, its long tongue sticking out with a deadly barb pointed straight at my face, and it was too late for me to react.
The lizard was fast, Quincy's arrow was even faster, and a swift arrow knocked it to the ground in mid-air, but the beast rolled twice and then rushed towards Owen at great speed.
Two flames ignited the long-tongued lizard in an instant, but it rushed madly despite the scorching heat of the flames, until Theon struck the axe and completely split its head.
"Damn, what are you setting on fire?" said Sein angrily to Owen. Before he could finish speaking, Oakburn looked up at the sky in the distance, where an eagle chirped.
"Hurry up, I'm afraid we've been discovered. Oakburn said worriedly. But Garn couldn't walk on one foot, and could only rely on Oakburn to hold him, and even if we tried to evacuate, we couldn't do it with speed.
The eagle turned out to be the worst of all, the companion of the barbarian beast spirit, and it quickly spotted us, and after half an hour of escape, we were finally intercepted by a barbarian army on horseback. They surrounded us excitedly, speaking in a language we didn't understand, and I thought we would soon be torn apart, but they arrested us, except, of course, Garn.
"Our friend. I pointed to Garn, though I didn't know if they could understand.
"His feet are useless and useless. A leader answered me in a lingua franca. Gage said, "I can save him." ”
"Rejoice yourselves, the king is newlywed, and do not kill you or kill him. The leader pointed at Garn and laughed, waved his hand and led the group away, leaving Garn alone in the silent grassland, knowing that he would soon die a painful death without Gage's herbs.
"Your grandmother's. Garn picked up the great axe, and the flying giant axe directly split a barbarian and his horse in half, but he was also shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows, which was probably the best ending for him, at least it was much better than being tortured to death by the venom of the long-tongued lizard.
