Chapter 13: The Trail of the Green
Amy's fingers lit up, and tiny flames flowed from her fingertips, instantly lighting the prepared firewood. Arnold cheered and set the cleaned prey on the fire, and soon the aroma overflowed, arousing everyone's appetite.
He Jinshui sat on the ground, watching with some envy as Amy skillfully spawned the flames. As a game otaku, the mage is a must-have character in his game world. When playing games, he can always test various spell data and enemy resistance, estimate the power margin and applicable environment of various magic, and adopt different magic combinations and strategies for different scenarios and opponents. He is also a master of hand speed, and can beat the strong with the weak through micro-manipulation and coquettish positioning.
But in Neo's world, he is destined to have no connection with magic, because he has a different constitution, and cannot recognize the so-called elemental sensing and elemental affinity, and cannot use the power of the elements to release magic.
But he also knows that he can't chew too much. When he truly understands and masters the ability of Jinkong, he will definitely become the top existence in this world, so being down-to-earth and constantly cultivating and strengthening his ability is the foundation of his foothold.
Cadon recovered quickly from his injuries, and he had made contact with the nearest town church in the area, and learned from them that in the Lodge Mountains, thirty kilometers to the west, there was a place called Sunset Valley, which was so smog-shrouded that no one could enter it all year round, so that the wolves might have come from there. After discussing it, we decided to go and check it out. With Eduardo injured in his thigh and unable to walk, Caton entrusted him to the care of the Church.
After the wolf pack battle, except for Eduardo, who was still recovering from his injuries, everyone basically entered the threshold of the intermediate level, so they were full of confidence when they set off.
Arnold and Elena have initially mastered the power of Douqi, which can be used for self-defense and attaching weapons, but they cannot be released; Amy has comprehended the instantaneous spell and spell amplification, and can instantly release silent spells below the third level, and can release low-level spells with stronger power; Kaidon, as a paladin with faith, has mastered the fighting spirit on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has comprehended the divine grace, and can release some basic divine skills to enhance combat power and heal himself.
Along the way, large numbers of animal carcasses were everywhere, which confirmed their suspicion that the wolves had come from there. The team set off in the morning and finally arrived at their destination before the sun went down.
Sunset Valley, the land is as its name suggests. It is covered with all kinds of tall and towering giant trees, which completely block the sun, so that the valley does not see the sun all day long, and the yin atmosphere is pressing. Stepping on the damp and soft ground, every now and then some reptile crawled on their feet or landed on their heads, causing Amy to let out a terrifying scream from time to time. To make matters worse, the dense miasma stayed in the valley, with extremely poor visibility and damage to the body, which made it very difficult to travel.
By this time, it was getting late, and Kaidong decided to temporarily withdraw from the valley and set up camp, recuperate and re-enter the valley early tomorrow morning.
At night, He Jinshui was on guard alone. He snorted and bored, and the three coins floated deftly in the palm of his hand, rolling back and forth with the flick of his fingertips. There was silence all around, except for the low chirps of the reptiles that accompanied the companions to sleep.
Before you know it, a white mist begins to fill the surroundings. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, gradually converging towards the camp, and He Jinshui felt that something was wrong, and was about to wake up Kaidong to see what was happening. At this time, a powerful coercion struck, as if all his strength was instantly drained, and He Jinshui sat on the ground and couldn't move.
In the hazy moonlight, a giant figure slowly walked through the mist, and the earth resonated strongly with the pace of its progress. He Jinshui was frightened and frightened, and shouted loudly, but only his vocal cords twitched a few times, and he did not make any sound. Finally, he sent out his whole mind, and the coin flew towards the figure like an arrow from the string, but he heard a few crisp sounds, and the coin jumped instantly.
The figure walked up to He Jinshui and stopped, and a deep voice came into He Jinshui's mind, and he slowly said word by word: "Human, hello!"
He Jinshui raised his head with great difficulty, and found that the other party turned out to be a huge tree man, and he replied in his mind: "Hello, are you an immortal?" He Jinshui deliberately pretended to be stupid and stunned.
"Amu only serves the master, and the master is the god!"
"Then Amu, where are you from?"
"Where did you come from?"
"And where are you going?"
"Go where you need to go. ”
"And what are you doing here?"
"See who should be seen. ”
"Are you here to see me? What are you doing with me?"
"Say what you have to say. ”
He Jinshui was annoyed, and roared angrily in his head: "Say human words, immediately!"
The tree man still said in an unhurried voice: "The master wants to see you, and it is in the valley. ”
"No problem, we'll visit him tomorrow and invite him to dinner!"
The tree man paused for a moment, and finally said, "There are some strange creatures in the valley, all of whom are friends of the master. If you come across, don't hurt them. With that, the tree man nodded at He Jinshui, turned to leave, and the fog dissipated.
He Jinshui felt that his strength was gradually recovering, he stood up and looked at the back of the tree man leaving, and his awe suddenly rose: "This is the power of the realm? Just an ancient tree has such earth-shattering power, so what a god-defying existence his master should be.
In the morning, He Jinshui told his companions what happened last night. After hearing this, Kaidong muttered: "This is estimated to be an ancient tree of war, and the things he warned must be paid attention to." ”
"I think so too", Elven Ranger Elena nodded in agreement, "According to He Jinshui's description, he should have possessed the realm, in other words, at least the power of human sainthood"
"Agreed", He Jinshui said with a smile: "Except for the slightly inappropriate title in the sentence just now." I think you should call me Brother Jinshui." The elf beauty blushed, pretended to be fierce, glared at him, and walked away.
The team came to the valley filled with miasma yesterday, and found that all the smoke had dispersed overnight, and they believed He Jinshui's words even more.
The procession quickly weaved through the jungle of the valley. The elven beauty and Kaidon are in the front, the magic beauty is in the middle, He Jinshui is second, and Arnold is behind. The crowd stepped on the soft soil, making a rustling sound, and a fragrant smell of the soil came to the nostrils, which was refreshing.
Elena walked at the front of the group, and she always felt that something was wrong, as if some eyes were staring at them in the dark, and she was unconsciously vigilant.
He Jinshui drank water while walking, and casually handed the kettle to Arnold behind him, "You can drink some too." The other party did not respond, He Jinshui turned around and found that Arnold had disappeared inexplicably! He hurriedly stopped everyone.
Kaidong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stopped and called everyone to look back. He thinks that if Arnold's skills can be plundered, it will be more dangerous for the team to separate.
He Jinshui shouted loudly to Arnold while releasing coins to probe. "Well, I found it, it should be him!"
The crowd ran around the trees and across the stream, but they were stunned by the scene before them and speechless.
