Chapter Seventy-Four: Inch by Foot
It's starting to spoil, which means you can't bathe here anymore......
Ignoring Niya's strong resistance and the little guy's protests, An Fei forced the lump on the little guy's head into the pool of water, and waited for a long time, but there was no effect......
Grieve...... The little guy let out a cry of grievance, looking up at An Fei, his pale blue eyes had become teary, it hoped that An Fei could make up for the rude action just now, but unfortunately, An Fei's thoughts had drifted to another place...... An Fei didn't care if the pool water was poisonous or not, there was a large group of magicians, drinking water was still not a problem, there were endless water elements in the air, and the water elements in the forest were even richer, so he didn't have to worry about this. γReading.comγ
"Susanna, come with me. An Fei stood up.
"Ah......" Suzanne was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and followed An Fei more than ten meters away.
When the little guy saw An Fei leaving, he forgot the grievance just now in the blink of an eye, and followed An Fei in a blink of an eye, a high-level Warcraft is a high-level Warcraft after all, and the little guy has started to learn to walk until now, and he can run freely in no more than two hours. It's just that there is still something wrong with his eyes, and he often makes a short sliding action in a place where he shouldn't be tripped, and then falls heavily to the ground.
Suzanne saw An Fei walking vigorously into the forest, and there was an inexplicable nervousness in her heart, in fact...... In the eyes of a discerning person, this kind of nervousness is completely unnecessary! If An Fei and Suzanne had a fair fight, how could An Fei not be Susanna's opponent, is there any reason to be nervous?
"Amphi. Let's talk about it here. Suzanne stood suddenly, her eyes drifting, and she was squeezing her hand lightly and heavily on the bark, for the unfortunate old tree had suffered an unwarranted disaster, and in a short time it had lost a large patch of bark.
"Huh?" An Fei glanced at Suzanne with a strange gaze and nodded, "It's okay." β
"In the end...... What's the matter?"
"Suzanne. Do you sense that someone around you is watching us?"
"No!" Suzanne looked up in surprise, "What, do you suspect someone is spying on us?"
"It's just my guess, and I hope I'm overthinking, but ......" An Fei muttered: "Susanna, if you have time, you can take a look around a little more, and maybe you can find some clues." β
"I see, ...... that night" Susanna's face suddenly turned blood-red before she could finish her words, and she remembered the inexplicable words An Fei had said after catching her that night, but ...... I can't just say it if I understand! Suzanne was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"I did misunderstand you that night. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. This is the first time that Anfei has solemnly apologized in private.
"Nothing...... Things have passed. Suzanne said incorrectly. When a girl is tied up in that position, is it really said that she can pass it? Not to mention that she went to take a shower that day. I clearly remember that the combat was born after she stripped naked, but ...... Anfei has said that, what else can she say? Suzanne decides to try to forget the past!
At this moment, there was a magic wave in the air, not the first thing An Fei sensed, nor Susanna, the little guy suddenly turned his head sideways and whispered, and the bumps on the top of his head pointed to the sky. Anfei winked at Suzanne and walked slowly out of the woods. Suzanne was still following An Fei more than ten meters away.
Chris led Blawy and the other three to fall, and Chris said okay. The three Bravi were covered in mud and rotten leaves, and looked very embarrassed, but there was no blood on their bodies.
"What's wrong?" An Fei asked hurriedly.
"! The manticore's nest was overrun by a pack of two-legged wyverns, and we almost suffered a big loss!" Blawy spat hatefully.
"Wyvern??"
"I see! I saw a bipedal wyvern appear next to the manticore's nest that day, I didn't know what was going on at the time, but now I understand, it turns out that they are going to grab territory!" Suzanne looked suddenly enlightened.
"Didn't you say that there are very few fierce conflicts between high-level demonic beasts?" An Fei asked.
"Anfei, haven't you seen a two-legged wyvern?"
"Riska and I spoke briefly. β
"Their bodies are like ducks, but their heads are small, and in order to fill their stomachs, bipedal wyverns only like to hunt large monsters, and then often spend half a day eating. The bipedal wyvern eats a very large amount of food, and an adult three-eyed demon cow is only enough for a bipedal wyvern tribe to eat for two or three days, so the bipedal wyvern nest ** is mobile, when the large demonic beasts around the nest ** are hunted by them, they must change places in order to survive. Suzanne said
"The last thing that is missing from the Warcraft Forest...... It must be a Warcraft, right?" An Fei asked.
"Anfei, you don't know how bipedal wyverns hunt, they are known as forest lurkers! they also know that they are not fast enough, and the way they fly is also clumsy, so they can only hunt by lurking or approaching food with slow movements. A group of bipedal wyverns are all dispatched, and the time it takes to catch a demon rabbit is about the same as the time it takes to catch a three-eyed demon cow, the demon rabbit is not enough for them at all, but the three-eyed demon cow can make them not worry about food for a few days, you say, will they still care about the little monster?"
"Susanna, it seems that you know the Warcraft Forest very well, I'm very strange, why didn't you make any preparations before you came to the Warcraft Forest?" An Fei said with a smile.
Suzanne bit her lip and said softly, "It was an accident, and I don't know much about the Warcraft Forest, there are many, many secrets here, which are not for humans to know!"
"In that case...... Then let's leave that side aside for the time being, and then let's settle this place properly. An Fei was a little helpless, he didn't expect that he would still have a time when he was robbed of territory by the Demon Beast...... But he just took a risk, and he is not suitable for continuous combat,
Susanna, who is the main force, still hasn't recovered, so she can only take a breath of patience first
"No!" said Suzanne and Chris in unison.
"Why?" said Anfei, surprised.
"Anfei, the Wyvern is a lurker in the forest! If any of us fall into the trap, everyone but Suzanne will suffer greatly! And the Wyvern has a very large prey range, and they pose a great threat to us!" Chris said urgently.
"Yes, Anfei, Chris has a point! If the other party is a unicorn, we don't need to provoke it, as long as we don't invade its territory, it won't hurt us, but high-level magical beasts like manticores and two-legged wyverns need to be cleaned up as soon as possible!" Suzanne continued.
An Fei lowered his head and groaned, since the bipedal wyvern is one of the members of the high-level demonic beasts, its strength must be not much different from unicorns, manticores, etc., and the bipedal wyvern is a group of demonic beasts, how easy is it to get rid of the bipedal wyvern?! The most important point is ...... Suzanne did not recover, according to Susanna's statement before the first operation, if she gathered all her fighting energy, she could fight the manticore for a while, but her fighting spirit was limited, her combat power would be lower and lower, and after crossing the line, even escaping became a luxury. And Suzanne was forced like that by the Manticore, all to protect Riseska.
How could such a tough thug not make good use of it? and it didn't fit the character of An Enclave...... Think about it. Whether it's an ambush or a frontal attack, Suzanne is an essential character!
"Let's wait a few days, let everyone be vigilant, if you want to go out, you must go with a few people, and you can take care of each other. An Fei finally shook his head: "Okay, I'll talk about this later, Blawy, you guys go and rest first." Chris, how's the house over there?"
Chris saw that An Fei changed the subject, and did not make any further comments: "What else...... Anyway, it wears everyone out. β
Suzanne sighed, there was a big gap between her and Anfei in terms of endurance, once she understood what the potential danger was. Always hoping to remove the danger at the first time, Anfei's decision made her feel depressed.
"It's getting dark. An Fei looked up at the sky: "Chris, let's go back and rest first, and then do it tomorrow." β
"Okay, I'll go and inform them. Chris nodded.
Not long after An Fei and the others returned to the cave, the 'workers' who built the house also came back one after another, although An Fei did not check the progress of the project, but from the mental outlook of the 'workers', it was completely possible to judge the degree of hard work of the project, and several of them even fell asleep directly on the grass-paved couch.
Maybe it's because everybody's conduct is very good, maybe it's because a certain kind of doctrine should, maybe, maybe, almost be born in a small group. When they were working in the field, there was no stealing and cheating, and everyone sold a lot of energy. And there are no complaints.
When Ferrer announced the meal, the 'workers' jumped up again. Surrounded Feller in an impenetrable manner, ate like a whirlwind, and then fell asleep again. Are they miserable today? Not necessarily, eating well and sleeping well...... It's a great blessing in life!!
No one in the whole group could sense it, and just across the cave, near the edge of the prairie, Ernest let out a long sigh and clenched his right hand into a fist. When he spread his palms again, a cloud of powder floated in the wind. Drifted into the night sky.
Ernest is very depressed now, it is not difficult to understand when you think about it, for a long time nervously looking around for the traces of an unknown wildflower, now Ernest has suffered from a severe wildflower syndrome, every time he finds the mark left by Anfei, Ernest can't help but grab the wildflower in the palm of his hand and crush it into powder, which is small enough to float in space......
If the search process takes a few more months, it is unknown whether Ernest will have some pathological symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting after seeing the wildflowers, but fortunately, he finally showed the traces of An Fei and others today!
Ernest wanted to secretly meet with Anfei, but when he showed the corpse of an adult unicorn with his powerful sensing ability, Ernest changed his mind, and he couldn't think of how Anfei and these people killed the unicorn, because he Ernest couldn't do it!
Ernest was shocked, so he changed his mind, he wanted to follow An Fei and the others in secret for a few days, to see what else An Fei could do? In danger people can gradually mature, and this is how he trained his students......
At the same time, in the distant Holy City, the late king of the Mao Empire, Yoland, sat in a secret room, his face solemn, faintly with a kind of murderous aura, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was contemplating something. Underneath Yoland, a pale gray shadow stood silently, sometimes blurred, sometimes clear.
"You mean...... Philip rejected your request, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
"Did you tell him anything about me?"
"No, Your Majesty, Philip is usually a more willful person who doesn't know what to do, and if he knows about you, he will probably leak the secret in his words, and the Allison Empire will be more vigilant. β
"That's fine. Yolande pondered for a moment: "Leave some of the hurricane people to the management of West, the spies of the Allison Empire know about the existence of the hurricane, and if the hurricane does not move for a long time, it will arouse their suspicions." β
"Understood, Your Majesty, but ...... Who are you going to put in charge of Your Highness?"
"You can do these trivial things yourself, and you don't have to ask my opinion on everything. Yolande smiled: "Also, if you find a way to contact Philip again in the near future and let him return to the Holy City, just say ...... The country needs him!"
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, Philip is now too emotional, and my words will have no effect on him. β
"Give it a try, as an old friend, I don't want him to go from being a hero of the country to a stumbling block to the country, if this change really can't be changed...... Maybe I should take some extreme measures. Yolande shook his head: "I have waited too long for this opportunity, in order to be able to destroy the Dark Moon Magic Army of the Elison Empire
The biggest threat to the Qing Ma Empire, I ...... I can do anything! I don't allow anyone to interfere with my plans!"
"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know the temper of old Philip, I see...... We should find a way to find Nya in the Cram Forest, and then bring her back, and the rest of the people ...... Leave it to Philip to deal with it, so that his anger can be extinguished. β
"Do you know what the most important quality of a king is?" Yolande smiled: "It's justice! Nya is young, willful and ignorant, if the little guys of other families do anything bad outside and let Nya run into it, they will definitely be taught a lesson by Nya, but has Nya ever provoked Zeda? Never! She is not afraid of Zeda, but she does not want to embarrass Thor. Zeda is a pure loser, he is not even a little girl, where was he killed? It was at Thor's house! Take the guards to Thor's house and arrest people...... Doesn't he understand the consequences of doing this? Hehe, if he knows and does it on purpose, then he is looking for death! If he doesn't know and is being used by others, then he also deserves to die! In any case, I have no reason to sympathize with him. β
"But ......"
"No, but the incident was provoked by the Philip family first, and if you have the courage to provoke, you must have the courage to take responsibility! If Niya runs to Philip's house and beats Zeda and is killed, I will not be partial to Thor. β
"Your Majesty, I admit you have a point, but...... Philip's anger if not vented. He will not return to the Holy City. β
"If language can't change a person, then you might as well try sword and blood! If a family puts the interests of the family above the interests of the state, then ...... I have to wonder if they exist. Yolande waved his hand, "Go, let Mioria come to me." β
"Your Majesty......" The gray shadow trembled, it had been more than twenty years with Yoland, and no one knew better than him how ruthless he was when Yolande had murderous intent.
"I'll make one last attempt and let Philip choose his own destiny. Yolande sighed softly, if there was a choice. He didn't want to go to the last step with Philip, but Philip had been in trouble lately, and it was completely a big fight, which made Yolande unbearable. For the sake of the whole layout, Yolande has used all his forces to the extreme, and now Philip is directing his students to go all out to track down the whereabouts of An Fei and the others. You must know that many of Philip's students are in high-ranking positions in the army, and if he continues to make such a fuss, it will inevitably seriously affect the command system of the army!
What's more, after receiving Thor's letter, Entos, a student who was training in the mercenary team, immediately returned to China to help Thor, but who knew that he was ambushed by a group of people on the way, and Entos was seriously injured, but fortunately, Entos was already a high-level magister, and released the space-time gate scroll at an emergency moment and escaped from danger.
Although no one has claimed responsibility for the incident, anyone with a discerning eye knows it. Who did it, or rather. This made Yolande even more angry, and Entos had returned to work for him. Even if his strength is still very different from Thor's, but a high-level magus is also a strong help, what is the difference between Philip's approach and cannibalism?
For a king, an obedient dog is more useful than a ferocious dragon! Thor is the representative of the magical power of the Mao Empire, and Philip is the leader of the swordsman land of the Mao Empire, the two have different personalities and completely different styles of behavior. Perhaps because of the thin relationship between the direct members of the Philip family, Philip has a very strong concept of gate valves. Take control of the students and celebrate the holidays or birthdays. All of Philip's students must return to the Holy City to make the Philip family much lively. Thor is not like this, except for magical guidance, he will easily not interfere in the private affairs of the students, and will respect the students' own wishes. This is also the fundamental reason why Yolande and Soldi have become closer and closer in recent years, and have become more and more estranged from Philip. The king does not want to see any confrontation or resistance to his own royal power, and Philip's current approach has undoubtedly made the relationship between the two sides more strained.
*
Together.
Sweating profusely, Anfei retreated backwards while struggling to block Susanna's sword moves, and after a few days of fighting, Anfei was now in a battle with Ernest that day, and how wise it was to tell Ernest in advance not to let Ernest use his fighting spirit!
Suzanne's swordsmanship is very simple, nothing more than splitting and stabbing, and An Fei's swordsmanship is very 'rich', pointing, winding, hitting, winding, shaking, scratching, buckle, etc., the result of the contest is that An Fei occupies a significant disadvantage, but in half an hour of competition, An Fei often has to retreat from one end of the prairie to the other......
For example, when the sword was stabbed in the chest, An Fei thought that he only needed to point three to five inches in front of Suzanne's sword to make Susanna's attack deviate from the direction, and then he could counterattack, but the results of repeated trials clearly told him that he could not move......
Susanna's strength became surprisingly large and the degree became surprisingly fast, and An Fei felt that Susanna's long sword was as if it was condensed in the air, difficult to shake. The stabbing action is okay, Suzanne's slash...... An Fei had already given up on blocking, and he didn't want to try again because his arms, wrists, and fingers felt cramping.
In fact, An Fei was already mentally prepared, when he fought for the first time in the waterhole that night, Suzanne punched out, but did not hit herself, and the water she brought up actually pulled out some of her head, he was a person who had personally experienced Susanna's power! But it turned out that his preparation was still a little lacking.
Fortunately, although Suzanne's attack was swift and ferocious, the advance was not fast, otherwise Anfei might have made a lot of ugliness.
Finally, An Fei raised his right hand high, signaling that the morning exercise was over, Suzanne put her sword into the sheath like a nobody, turned around and walked back, An Fei slung her sword to the ground, gasping violently.
"Susanna, have I made any progress today?"
Suzanne glanced back at An Fei and shrugged her shoulders, everything was in plain sight......
An Fei smiled bitterly, he had a clear understanding of his position, and he had assassinated the old guy in the Rose House that day
In the case of injury, a sword knocked the heavy candlestick in his hand away, knowing that he could deal with the swordsman, and he had to be cautious and cautious when dealing with the swordsman.
"What's the spirit? It's not like you haven't lost to me. An Fei couldn't help muttering in a low voice, although he didn't take the things on his face too seriously, and focused on how to improve his strength quickly, Susanna's lazy appearance still made him a little angry.
"You've lost to me hundreds of times these days. "Suzanne spoke this time, but it was better not to say it!
"......" An Fei was speechless, what can be done? Swordsmanship is very slow to improve by practicing hard, it is best to find an opponent, who can you go to except Susanna......?
There was an inaudible hissing sound, Susanna's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around a few arrows and returned to An Fei's side, looking up into the air, a flying object resembling a whooper swan flew through the air, but its neck was too long compared to a real swan, and its body was too large.
Although this is a bit extreme, it is not unreasonable to think about it! An Fei never bothered the bipedal wyvern, but the bipedal wyvern appeared in this small grassland, and they sensed that the people below were not easy to mess with, and they would fly to other places after observing for a while. But as the days passed, the bladder grew bolder, and at first several wyverns flew over to take a look. Now one of them dares to come over and shake it, which is annoying.
"Anfei, we have to find a way to deal with these two-legged wyverns, do we have to wait until someone has an accident before we do it?" said Suzanne with a solemn face.
"You really should do it......" An Fei nodded, remembering that there is such a sentence, called forbearance for a while, take a step back and open the sky, of course, this is said from its own point of view, have you thought about the other party? Seeing that you are so bullying, he will bully you even harder. Seeing that you have retreated, I will take advantage of you even more!
This two-legged wyvern is a good example! At first, I spied around the grassland, and when I saw that An Fei and the others ignored it, they began to fly over the grassland non-stop, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone protected the ineffective Niya, Little Shariel and others well, maybe someone would have been attacked!
The Wyvern didn't provoke Susanna. Spread his wings and fly towards the cave, yesterday it was Chris's turn to be on duty, he immediately released the levitation technique to meet the two-legged wyvern, and then Zubin and Sanchez also ran out of the cave and protected Chris's side on the left and right.
The two-legged wyvern changed direction and flew straight out of the prairie, leaving behind a series of hoarse screams, as if mocking Chris and the others.
"Let's go. We passed. An Fei said softly.
Shanna nodded.
The two of them ran towards the cave one after the other, and Suzanne followed closely behind An Fei. Ampai didn't mislook at anyone, since the last time he was in distress. She had firmly remembered the lesson, so when she heard the cry of the bipedal wyvern, she did not look for the location of the bipedal wyvern first, but returned to An Fei's side to protect An Fei as soon as possible.
Some people don't make much progress even if they suffer a hundred losses, while others can really fall on the same stone once, and Suzanne is undoubtedly the latter.
"Anfei, let's do it, I can't stand these guys!" Sanchez said angrily as he greeted Anfei.
"yes. When we were gathering wood yesterday, a two-legged wyvern was following us. We collect the wood, and it watches from a short distance, and when we carry the wood, it follows behind, and everyone is always worried. Zubin smiled bitterly.
"Suzanne, how is your body now?" An Fei asked.
"The strength of the Wyvern is nowhere near as strong as the Manticore, and I think I can deal with it. β
"In that case...... Let's discuss it together in the morning. An Fei thought for a moment, "Chris, is there anything good on the bipedal wyvern? β
"Aside from the usefulness of the crystals and their fangs, they're all garbage. Chris laughed: "That's why the nobles of the upper class often say when they are sarcastic: It's as rancid as a bipedal wyvern! The bipedal wyvern is the most rubbish high-level magical beast, which not only means that the strength of bipedal wyvern is the worst among high-level magical beasts, but also that they can bring the least benefits to people." β
"That's ...... so" An Fei pondered, the unicorn and the manticore brought benefits to the earth but he had witnessed it with his own eyes, not to mention the blood of the unicorn and the tears of the stars in the magical legend, the unicorn horn can detoxify, grind into powder and swallow it is said to have the effect of reviving the dead, the fur of the unicorn and the manticore can be turned into the top level of magic leather armor in the hands of the alchemist, the arrowhead made from the teeth of the manticore can pierce through the heavy armor worn by the knight, if the arrow is blessed with the fire element, the arrow will explode a large fireball after hitting the target, which is much more powerful than the large fireball released by ordinary magicians, and the claws of the manticore, Unicorn, and Manticore-like land bones are useful.
Although it is still a raw material, and it must be turned into various magic items after finding a good alchemist worthy of the name, it can be said that high-level magical beasts are all treasures!
After finding the alchemist, Anfei hopes that this tail needle can be turned into a short spear! Chris said that the magic effect can be partially left, just as the long horn of a unicorn still has a certain purification ability, and those who are stabbed by the manticore's tail needle will also have a certain chance of inducing the ossification effect.
"Is the Wyvern making trouble again?" Niya rubbed her eyes and walked out of the cave, she couldn't go anywhere these days for safety, and she was in a bad mood.
"My body has recovered, Anfei!" Suzanne realized that Anfei had not made a decision for a long time, because she was worried that her strength had not fully recovered, so she had to repeat it with a heavy tone.
"Well, tell everybody to get up. Anfei nodded
