Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mercenary's Corpse
On the way forward, everyone also encountered an animal unique to the Warcraft Forest - the Jade Wind Sheep, which has extremely long limbs and strong jumping ability, and can jump nearly ten meters in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the first born short horns, and very rich in climbing ability, generally live under the rock cliffs, because of the danger of the day, they generally haunt at night, gradually, evolved a pair of night eyes, emerald color, hence the name, although they are huge, but basically will not take the initiative to attack people.
And they are so curious that when they are frightened, their hair rises all over their bodies, and experienced hunters tend to sneak up behind them, shout and scare them into running away, and then wait in silence. After a while, the Emerald Wind Goat, which was even more massive because of its frightened long hair, would return to the same place with its big green eyes open, and the powerful hunter could even catch it with his hands.
The emerald mutton is tender and has an excellent taste, it is the favorite food of the mercenaries, and they are also fourth-level magical beasts, but although they have survived in the demonic beast forest for generations, they have never evolved attack magic, only one innate skill - wind magic swiftness.
Apparently frightened, but the habit of curiosity is not diminished, coupled with their ability to escape, the large beasts are helpless against them, but they are often easily caught.
This was the case with the capture of the Emerald Wind Sheep, because it was far away, the sky was dark, and everyone didn't see what kind of monster was hidden by the bushes, so Pandis cast a bitter vine entanglement from a distance, but it reacted very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it ran away - everyone didn't even see what it was. As the group continued to walk forward, it ran back from the woods, and was immediately entangled in the bitter vine that had not yet dissipated.
The unexpected harvest made everyone very happy, this jade wind sheep of nearly three hundred catties not only contributed a complete sheepskin, but also obtained a fourth-level wind magic crystal. In the past few days, everyone's food is carried dry food and jerky, in this cold and wet season to eat such a delicious and juicy mutton, suddenly feel warm and comfortable.
After dinner, as everyone drank hot mutton soup and chatted around the campfire, Terry walked up to Chris and said, "Cris, I tried it just now, and you said that you can use meditation to quickly solidify the swamp, but no." ”
Dylan also said, "Chris, can you say it again?"
Chris looked at the three professors who were looking at him, and said carefully: "I'm not very good at expressing myself, so it's better to let the three tutors talk about it!"
Elandor smiled, "What I perceive is the most real, Cris, rest assured." ”
"Yes!" Chriss, pondering for a moment, "Simply put, it's about covering the magic cast with mental power, and then retracting the elements cast, and that's it." ”
He raised his hand and cast a ground thorn in front of his foot, saying, "This earth thorn is actually the earth element in our brains. ”
The crowd nodded, and Chris continued, "Then, take it back," he looked at the thorn, which disappeared with a "poof" sound.
"That's it. ”
Terry looked at the ground that had returned to its original state, reached out and touched it, and looked up, his eyes glazed.
Dylan whispered, "That's it?"
Chris nodded, "That's it!"
"This requires an understanding of the nature of the elements and a strong ability to manipulate them, and of course, the use of mental power is also indispensable, and you still need to practice a lot during this time. ”
The students nodded yes.
"If you talk for a while, the three of us old men will rest first, and you don't play too late. ”
"Yes, Mentor!"
The three instructors slept in the tent, and the rest of the students did not fall asleep immediately, practicing or chatting with each other.
In fact, there is one more important sentence that Gilabson has not yet said: "... Mental power is the most important thing. Chris knew this, although his spiritual power was actually cheating, he was "talented", even surpassing a ninth-level magician in the Temple of Light, and ordinary people were afraid that it would be difficult to catch up in this life. As a professor at the academy, Gilabson must be very clear, but he is unwilling to admit his inferiority in front of the students, so he only makes an understatement.
"The older you get, the more you have to save face!"
After this incident, the six official participants obviously put away the contempt when facing Chris, and even treated Stephen and Clover with more respect.
Stephen's usual cold face also relaxed a lot.
In the next two days, I also encountered several groups of mercenaries on the road, most of the mercenaries were fifth- or sixth-level warriors and thieves, and there were often only one or two high-level mercenaries in a large mercenary group.
For the sake of safety, they rarely enter the high-level Warcraft area, so it is not unusual to meet them in these low-level Warcraft areas, but these mercenaries are not so friendly, but after seeing the magic robes on everyone's bodies, they all retreat one by one.
There are more people, and there are naturally fewer Warcraft, and if they haven't encountered a decent Warcraft for two days, the students are a little irritable.
Clark could only lead the group deeper down.
On this day, dinner was prepared in a clearing with traces of a bonfire, apparently left by passing mercenaries, and then, behind a bush not far away, several bodies were found buried underground.
The burial was obviously sloppy, I don't know if it was because of haste or because the killer was too lazy to dig a deeper pit, and the hands of a corpse were still exposed on the ground.
Only underwear remained, no trace of equipment and weapons were left on the corpses, and the wounds were all left by swords and daggers, but the corpses were not completely decomposed, and it was vaguely clear that they were between twenty and forty years old.
All three mentors frowned.
Both girls hid behind, their faces unbearable.
"Put them back in the ground. Clark said.
Arian said, "Damn the murderer!"
Chris sighed, "It's very common. ”
As the son of the lord of the "City of Mercenaries", Chris had heard of this kind of thing about mercenaries at a very young age, the monsters were fierce, but there were even more mercenaries who died at the hands of their companions.
Seeing such a scene in the Warcraft Forest for the first time, Chris couldn't bear it in his heart, but the indifference in his tone couldn't be concealed.
