Chapter Twenty-Five: The Road of Thorns-Wu-Milkless Monsters

As always, he led the team around the outermost circle of the caravan, Jones frowned and looked at the dark jungle not far away, the last trip at nine o'clock every night to lead the patrol is the rule, and it is also Jones's habit for nearly twenty years, but he used to be a patrol member, and now he is the leader of the patrol.

"Hopefully nothing will go wrong this time. ”

Vaguely seeing the big palm team hurriedly walking out of the tent of the few Dalaran visitors, the patrol captain frowned and muttered to himself, although he had the name of a mage, the essence of his mage apprentice was clear to the whole caravan, but the other party was airborne from above, even if the strength and ability were all scum, a few leaders could only curse a few words in secret, and they were respectful on the surface.

As the four leaders of the caravan, Jones has been in this caravan for nearly twenty years, plus he is a native of Rootstock Town, and the road from Rootstock Town to Tirisfa has traveled no less than a hundred times, and there are even several villages and several stops along the way, which can be explained clearly and easily. And he is naturally aware of the dangers along the way, originally he was against this trip, seeing that the day is approaching the Double Moon Festival, and most of the members of the caravan are from Rootstock Town, they all want to have a reunion festival at home, plus this season is still a day when wolves are extremely active, as one of the oldest species in the silver pine deep forest, this kind of wolf species with an average length of three meters away, nearly two meters high, is a litter of more than a dozen when dispatched, and it takes the same number of guards to prevent their group impact, even if they can be strangled together, there will definitely be damage, and it is the beast he least wants to encounter。

It's a pity that the real right to speak in this caravan is not in the hands of the caravan itself, and only a few of them who have been in charge of the team for more than ten years will know a little bit of the inside story, the real boss behind the caravan is a big man from the royal capital of Lordanlun, and the turtle merchants in Rootstock Town on the bright side are only a little involved in the early days of construction, and this time it is also the big boss behind the scenes who speaks, changing the practice of previous years, and picking this kind of risky season.

Sighing, the Four Palms led the team slowly towards their own part of the camp.

"I can only set up more guards. ”

Thinking about it, Jones glanced at the night sentry who was passing by him, and was wondering why the other party didn't react when he saw him, and then his eyes suddenly burst out, and he felt a piercing danger approaching for no reason, and subconsciously jumped up in the air and slashed at his feet.

Enemy Attack! Shadow Person!

With more than ten years of unremitting training, the strength to touch the threshold of a mid-level warrior, Jones barely managed to dodge the sneak attack, and when he looked back, the refined long sword in his hand almost fell.

A small patrol of fifteen members, except for the fear on their faces reflected through the thin ice, all became ice sculptures of different shapes. A young man dressed in gray linen casually stood in the middle of the ice sculptures, slowly pulling a dagger glowing blue from one of the ice sculptures.

At least the shadow of the fifth order or above, Jon glanced at the night sentry ice sculpture beside him, and the sweat on his forehead involuntarily began to flow out, although he wanted to shout loudly, but judging from the current situation, if he didn't say anything, he would definitely die.

"We're just a small caravan in Rootstock Town, and if you're just short of money for a while, we're still willing to give some Jinnar. ”

Standing stiffly next to the ice sculpture for a while, seeing that the other party was just looking at him with an indifferent face, the four palms slowly made a hoarse voice.

The other party didn't make any response when he heard this, but just glanced over to Jones and saw the figure suddenly appearing behind him.

"All the dark sentinels, the night sentinels have been cleared. ”

A calm voice came from behind him, and Jones's heart cooled, this is the consistent method of bandits, sneak attacks in the dark, killing, robbing, burning, and never leaving a living mouth under the three lights, and immediately fleeing thousands of miles after completing a deal.

"Enemy attack!

The roar of anger was used, and almost instantly spread throughout the camp, a panicked noise began to sound in the camp, and more and more figures appeared in the firelight, most of them were ordinary caravan members who hurriedly put on their clothes, and rarely saw guards with weapons.

Jones, who shouted angrily, was now on his knees with his hands around his neck, but he couldn't stop the red rush out at all. At the last glance, I saw that the young man who had cut his neck was looking at the chaotic camp with a playful expression, and an identical young man behind him was staring at him calmly.

"Found it!"

The shadow man said suddenly, before the words fell, his body suddenly rushed forward, and after walking three or four steps, he disappeared into the shadows, and another silent young bandit pulled out two long-handled axes pinned to his waist, and slowly walked towards the center of the camp.

Although the young man with the double axe killed all the way, in fact, after he killed four or five unlucky people, no one dared to appear in front of them, and it didn't take long to come to a wooden house. The door of the wooden house was lying open, and a figure suddenly burst out, and the young man with the double axe didn't think about it, and threw an axe out of his hand, which slashed the shadow in a flash, but it was bounced open after making a clanging sound.

"Huh?" The Shadow Shadow Young Bandit, who suddenly appeared at the door of the wooden house, let out a cry of surprise and turned into a shadow and rushed towards the figure.

"Don't kill me, it's not in my hands!" The figure crashed into the axe and fell to the ground, and it was the head of the caravan, Frune. The big palm of the caravan who fell to the ground was obviously seriously injured, vomiting blood, and his hands were still panicked to plug a small wound on his neck, while wailing.

A blue stalk suddenly lit up in the darkness, and another hideous crack appeared on his neck, and the wailing of the caravan leader came to an abrupt end.

"Our goal is only you. Like a ghostly whisper in the night, Frune's pupils suddenly dilate, and then slowly dissipated.

"How could this be..."

"Burning Mage Armor, Touch of Nature. Walking up to the two-axe youth, the shadowman youth pulled out a dark green staff and pouted. "This mid-level staff will cover our labor fee this time, I really want to meet the other party. ”

"Don't make any extraneous branches, you really think you are a bandit!" Picking up the long-handled axe that was thrown, and checking that there was no damage, the young man with the double axe glanced at the Shadow One, turned his head and walked towards the outside of the camp, and after walking only three or four steps, he stared at the sky-high white light not far away.

When the two-axe youth just walked to the door of the wooden house, Kelreth and his gang were still nested in their respective tents, but most of the mental power of the middle-level mages was concentrated on this group of bandits, and the goal of this group of followers was also very clear, and they went straight to the cabin of the caravan leader, and the two main middle-level professionals were also there.

"It's towards that Frune. ”

Whispering to Jin on the side, Kyris sensed that someone had triggered the permanent spell on the Emerald Staff, the Touch of Nature, the staff's permanent spell only needs a small amount of mental power to trigger it after being charged in advance, and it can be released instantly and there is no loss, theoretically the mage apprentice can also use even the permanent spell on the high-level staff, Touch of Nature is a restorative four-ring spell, because it is a strengthened version of the natural nourishment of the three-ring spell, so it is not troublesome for Kelrith to master, plus it is a few life-saving skills in the four-ring spell, so in addition to the secondary teleportation technique, Kelrith first chose to learn the Touch of Nature and the Burning Mage Armor。

Then, in the perception of Kyrryth, when Frune rushed out of the wooden house and triggered the armor of another permanent spell burning mage in the staff, the mid-level mage's perception suddenly appeared dangerous, and his mental power instantly retracted by half, and then he heard the wail of the other party, and the next second there was a roar of gold in his ears.

Countless adult men's arm-thick lightning bolts pierced through the entire tent, and a layer of red magic armor that instantly appeared on the middle-level mage's body only lasted for three or four seconds before it cracked, and then it broke in response, filling the whole body with soreness and numbness accompanied by involuntary convulsions, the middle-level mage bit the tip of his tongue, so that his hands finally had a trace of control, and the middle finger of his left hand was slightly bent.

“rollsrsa!”

A transparent light curtain shrouded it, but under the impact of lightning, true ripples continued to appear, and it only lasted for less than ten seconds, cracking and vibrating, but Jin on the side had recovered from the inertia and stiffness at the beginning, and there was another roar.

"Titans!"

The body swelled suddenly, and the skin gradually turned bronze, and the moment the light curtain broke, Kyris felt a pull, and he threw himself out of the tent, tilting his head to see a bronze giant man three meters away rushing out of the lightning encirclement with the same bronze giant shield.

Without half a minute of respite, a large cloud of ice spikes fell from the sky, enveloping Kelrith, the middle-level mage was recovering from the sour numbness of the blitz and the dizziness of the impact at this time, and his intuition was cold, and he pulled again, and the whole person flew out again, but this time he was slightly prepared, and he added a levitation technique to himself not far away, and after standing firmly, he saw Kir rushing out of his position just now, with a cold blue ice spike nearly twenty centimeters long inserted in his left shoulder and left leg.

A layer of mage armor instantly appeared on his body, and Kirreth hurried to Kiel's side, seeing that the other party had pulled out the double thorns, he quickly took out a green gem, and whispered two words, two green rays of light were printed on the two wounds respectively, the gem shattered in response, and the wound healed instantly.

Turning around, Jin Ye had already run over, holding an iron shield that had returned to its original appearance beside the two of them, his height had also recovered to more than two meters, and his complexion was no longer bronze, but his face was red with a hint of exhaustion. The surrounding team members also quickly gathered, but Kyrreth found that only four of the original thirteen team members could escape.

"At least six rings, thunder storm, frost and thorn storm, two consecutive five-ring spells with such a short interval, at least six rings can be done!" The middle-level mage whispered, his spiritual power exploded, looking for the mage who was hiding in the dark, just now he ate two shots in a row, and he didn't have the time or energy to perceive the opponent's location at all, until now, everyone only knew that the mage who raided was hiding in the woods.

However, after a few moments, Kyris regained all his mental power and stared at the three people who slowly walked out of the shadows in the forest.

"Three, intermediate. ”

Hearing this, his body shook, Jin tightened his shield, and the rest of the team members invariably surrounded the middle-level mage in the center, and Kiel's body began to slowly fade away.

"I'm a mid-level mage from Dalaran, Kenrito Councilor Kemir, I don't know what a few mages are doing!" patted Jin's shoulder, a faint red light flashed three times, and the three layers of arcane armor covered most of the vital points, and Kyris hid behind the protective warrior Lang Shendao.

"Kelris, give up the useless struggle, all your retreats are blocked!" one of the three mages snorted coldly and responded, all three of them were hooded and couldn't see their faces clearly, but this one was not very old.

"Don't waste time, hurry up and solve it!I'll find the bed bugs hiding in the dark, you, uh..." The mage on the far left stretched out his staff to the right, and said coldly, and as soon as a little light appeared at the top of the staff, the mage suddenly knelt down holding his heart.

"Do it!"

A fireball burst out of each of the left and right hands, and shot towards the remaining two mages, after Kyris shouted angrily, Jin also roared, his body soared to more than three meters, exhaled a thick breath of hot air, his hands burst out of vertical green shins, and suddenly held the iron shield, several magic patterns hidden on the edge of the shield began to flicker, cyan thorns flashed, and the mid-level warrior raised a one-person-high bronze shield and rushed forward, and the remaining team members left two guardians of Kyris and all followed.

And the mid-level mage who stayed in place, holding an extremely condensed white ball of light with trembling hands, his face was sweating profusely, and several explosions and screams were heard in his ears, Kyris gritted his teeth and slapped the ball of light on himself, his ears instantly became empty, and a feeling of being about to explode filled his body.

A pair of ripped open the outer garment, revealing the bright blue robe inside, blue magic patterns swelled out, condensing into different runes on the sleeves and front and back, and four polyhedron composed entirely of arcane energy swirled rapidly around the top of Kelseth's head.

Opening the eyes full of blue light, a fireball with a diameter of more than one meter appeared between his hands, the blue in the eyes of the middle-level mage twisted, his hands pressed inward suddenly, and the fireball of one meter was instantly pressed into the size of a basin, and then the mage screamed again, and his hands were pressed again, a fireball only the size of a football floated in the air, but the strange blue color did not bring a trace of scorching heat to the surroundings, only the middle-level mage who was the caster could feel the terrifying temperature inside the fireball, but the extreme condensation condensed the temperature inside, and it continued to burst and react。

"Kir!" Kyris roared, and the Shadow Person, who had been invisible for a long time, silently appeared next to a mid-level ring mage, his hands up and down, and the two daggers stabbed into the throat and abdomen respectively.

The mage who was attacked by the sneak attack did not show panic, the staff nodded to the ground, a translucent nodule instantly unfolded, and Kir who jumped out seemed to have stopped half of time and froze in mid-air, and the dagger in his left hand was even only an inch away from the opponent's neck.

With a light glance, the mid-level mage looked at the shadow man who stopped in mid-air, stretched out his empty finger and pointed it at his head, and when he was about to point it, he was stunned, the shadow man's body was like half of the reflection in the water, and the waves swung away and disappeared without a trace, the mage immediately withdrew his finger but immediately dodged to the left, a dagger appeared out of thin air, slashing through his hood, revealing an old face, and a thin blood mark appeared on the originally pale old face.

Dodging a dagger in embarrassment, the middle-level mage immediately screamed and jumped up, and on his left foot, a dagger stuck upside down on the ground like a barb pierced straight through, bleeding profusely.

"Sarus!" the old mid-level mage instantly filled himself with several layers of magic barriers, and shouted at the mage who was abusing the group of people on the side.

"Rubbish!" Glancing at the old mage who fell to the ground, another middle-level mage shot out three condensed lightning bolts from his fingertips, directly knocking Jin Lianren back with a shield for seven or eight meters before stopping his body, and with a row of hands, a dense net made of thunder directly shrouded the remaining few team members, crackling and silent, and the rest were completely paralyzed and unable to move, after dealing with this, the mage raised his feet and walked towards the old mage, but only took a step, he suddenly turned around, and a blue fireball drew a blue light band, and he arrived in front of the mage in an instant。

The staff slammed into the ground, and the same barrier froze the blue fireball in front of him, and the mage reached out to the left and leaned his palm towards the fireball, but there was a loud shout in his ears.

"Boom!"

Several layers of red light flashed, and the body of the middle-level mage exploded, and instantly appeared in the open space five meters away, only to look at the original place, but suddenly found a little blue flash in the corner of his eye, and with a roar, the blue flames burst out like a volcano, instantly enveloping the area within a radius of five meters, like turning into a blue channel connecting heaven and earth. Suddenly, an arm jerked out of the wall of the passage, grabbing something out indiscriminately, but then it slowly fell and fell into flames.

The flames lasted a full five or six minutes before they dissipated, leaving a scorched field empty.

"Sarus—" The old hoarse voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, and Kelseth, who was also shocked by the effect of his spell, remembered that there was such a crippled enemy.

The old mage, who had lost one leg, leaned against a wooden stake, holding a staff in one hand and a spell book in the other, trembling at the scorched earth not far away, and then screamed as he watched his mage armor shatter, and hurriedly filled up several layers of protective barriers.

"Who sent you?" As soon as the middle-level mage spoke, he realized that his voice was also extremely hoarse, and he glanced at Jin, who had already run to him with his shield, and asked the old mage.

"I, I said it, just let me go?" hurriedly added two more lines of protection, and the old mage stood up with his staff.

"Do you still have a choice now?" The mental power perceived, and found that he couldn't find out Kiel's location, Kelrith pouted and looked at the other party, this kind of performance is completely a pure academic mage, this kind of actual combat idiot who can only dominate in theory and the laboratory, and his combat power often falls by one or two orders, in fact, Kelrith is also a mage of this kind, but in today's battle, he found that he is still quite familiar with killing.

"Release the protective barrier!"

"I, I'm just on orders..." Scattered a protective enchantment, found that the shadow man in the dark was not attacking, the old mage only on the staff, limping out, while Nuo Nuo said, but only half of the walk stopped, eyes wide open to look ahead, turned to look down, a broadsword straight through his body, through the body part even a little bit of blood red, as if trying to struggle to cast spells to save himself, but randomly took out a handful of magic stones, just lifted up, lost strength and sprinkled the ground, then lowered his head, no sound.
