Chapter 16: The Hunt in the Dark

Ivan's body stiffened, and he unnaturally let go of his fingers, turned and smiled awkwardly at Aloobis.

Aloobis thought about Ivan's movements just now, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Ivan with a strange expression:

"Were you going to eat that?"

Seeing it in person, Ivan couldn't refute it, and hung his head by default.

"Poof, hahahaha. ”

For the first time, Aloobis was so rude in front of a person, and his face was full of wrinkles and folds and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Ivan looked at Aloebes suspiciously, not understanding what was so funny about it.

"You kid, didn't your mage teacher tell you that if you spend the night in a place where demonic beasts frequently gather, the mage will bring a kind of high-level demonic beast feces and scatter it around the camp to deter other demonic beasts. ”

The word dung kept swirling in Ivan's mind, and the old ghost sounded again with a hint of schadenfreude in his ears.

Seeing Ivan's devastated appearance, Aloobis felt a little less disgusted with Ivan in his heart, and patted him on the shoulder soothingly: "Young man, strong curiosity is a good thing for a mage, but it is also necessary to distinguish between them, like some common sense, then it is not an explosion of curiosity, but complete stupidity." ”

With that, Aloobis turned and left, leaving Ivan alone outside the tent.

Damn, damn old ghost, Ivan cursed wildly in his heart, eager to put the most vicious and vicious curse in the world on the old ghost.

At this time, Hans opened a tent curtain and shouted in the direction of Ivan: "Ivan, the tent is set up and ready to rest." ”

Only then did Ivan stop cursing the old ghost in his heart, and said to Hans: "Okay, you sleep first, and I'll come later." ”

Although winter has passed, the temperature may have risen in the south, but this is in the northwest, and the altitude is not a point or two higher than in the south, so the temperature in the wild is still very cold at this time.

Ivan walked to a secluded place not far from the camp, but with a dense woods, surveyed his surroundings, and when he saw that there was no one, he stood up.

Stepping on a mysterious rhyme, the footsteps are slow, the movements are like a dying old man, weak and boring, a punch is soft and dragging, as if playing a set of **** Taijiquan, but this set of movements does not have the perfect perfection of Taijiquan, inverting yin and yang, and the invisible charm of evolution and creation.

In the eyes of outsiders, this set of movements is full of flaws, slow and weak, even if it is a three-year-old Wang Baquan who dances wildly, it is more exemplary than it.

Slowly withdrawing his hand, Ivan exhaled a long breath, and what was amazing was that after such a set of relaxed and slow movements, Ivan's forehead was full of sweat stains, as if he had been exercising vigorously for several hours.

"Old ghost, how do I feel a little intermittent about this set of physical skills lately. Ivan gasped.

"Master, your senses are very keen, the set of Dagoda-style physical skills I taught is actually incomplete, and the set of movements you have practiced is only the upper volume of this set of physical skills. ”

"Is the next volume of the physical technique important?" asked Ivan.

"Naturally important, the lower volume is the essence of this set of Dagoda-style physical skills, the effect of the upper volume can at most allow the master to have the physical fitness of a sixth-order samurai, while the lower volume can allow the master to have the body of a dragon that rivals it. ”

Ivan nodded, the first volume of this set of Dagoda-style physical skills, he had practiced hard in Lenta City for three months, and he would practice every day for two months on the road, and now his physical fitness was infinitely close to that of a first-order warrior, and he could fight with his bare hands when he was waiting for a few big men.

Compared to five months ago, even a bag of copper coins was carried so hard, and the progress was simply rapid, and he naturally coveted the next scroll that could make the weak body of a human being rival that of a dragon.

But fortunately, he hasn't practiced the last volume to perfection now, and he is not in a hurry to get the content of the next volume, after all, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Today's practice has been completed, and Ivan was about to go back to sleep with his head covered, when suddenly, in the dark woods, a voice alarmed him.

"Whew"

Ivan's spiritual power has been enhanced in the Dagoda-style spiritual power meditation method for several years, and it has already reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, not only can he easily pick up physical objects, but also have a keen perception of the movement of the outside world.

After months in the wild, Ivan could easily recognize the sounds of some animals, and he recognized them as wolf howls, and the wolves were still very numerous.

Then, the wolf's howl was followed by a man's scream of pain, followed by the sound of the man's scream, and several more exclaims.

In the black woods, Ivan looked at the source of the sound, and the woods from which the sound came suddenly lit up with a red light, like a fire burning a mountain.

The red flame was rushing towards Ivan's location at a rapid speed, getting closer and closer, and the faint sound in the distance became clear and audible in the distance.

It was the messy footsteps of a group of people, and their footsteps were panicked, as if they were running away in a frenzy.

One, two, three, four, there were four people's footsteps in total, and Ivan judged in his heart that the speed of those people seemed to have dropped a lot, and after another "roar", it was accompanied by the screams of one person.

Ivan understood, one died, so now only three people remained.

In less than a moment, the red light reached not far from He Fan's sight, and he saw three big men wearing black robes, feather armor, and a sharp knife pinned to their waists, short of breath, flustered eyes, and their clothes were in tatters, with a few marks torn by the claws of wild beasts.

The three big men were panicked, but by coincidence, the direction they chose was where Ivan was hiding.

Before Ivan could react in time, the three big men had already crossed the woods covering Ivan's body, and they had also found Ivan.

"Look, there's a guy here. ”

A man with a scruffy beard and the largest of the three big men stopped in front of Ivan, pointed at Ivan, and exclaimed to the big man behind him.

And the big man with the scar called "head" behind the bearded man hit the bearded man on the head with a big hand: "Roll the calf, who cares if there is anyone at this time, it matters to escape." ”

The bearded man replied with an "oh", but before he ran away, he didn't forget to shout to Ivan: "Run, there are wolves behind, there are many, many wolves, they will eat people." ”

However, before the three big men could escape, in the dark woods not far away, a pair of eyes glowing with green light completely surrounded them.

The bearded man screamed in fright, hugged the hand of the scar man, and said with a crying voice: "Head, what should I do, I am surrounded, ah, we are going to die, I don't want it, I still want to marry a good-looking daughter-in-law." ”

"Shut up. ”

The scar man burst into a shout, although with the anger of anger, but more of a despair of falling into the place of death.
