Chapter 35: Cloak of Shadows

There are so many adventurers out of the city that they will never be able to find out. Moreover, the Lord of Yanfeng City does not belong to Overwatch City, and he has no right to interfere with the military of Overwatch City.

The fact that he would return to his own city sooner or later gave Luo Xue a lot of comfort. However, Luo Xue had to face the unknown danger that lay ahead again.

Ahead was the exit of the city gate, and he tightened his clothes and walked forward in the morning mist. After showing the Adventurer's Guild's order to the censor of the city gate, he successfully exited the city gate.

Leaving the road, he rushed into the dense woods, and headed straight toward the spot where he had marked, only to make a large circle to the left as he approached. Just to avoid the scene of the skinny man's death as much as possible and hide his whereabouts.

He bent over with his head bent and cautiously moved his steps through the dew-stained grass. The faint sound of the ground in front of him touched his sensitive nerves through the soles of his feet. The sound of vibration was getting closer and closer, and Luo Xue gradually heard some information from this sound.

"There's someone up ahead. He took out a magic scroll from his bosom - the "Cloak of Shadows" spell, which could temporarily make the caster of the spell temporarily invisible for an hour.

He gently tore open the magic scroll, and a transparent film silently burrowed out of the cracks in the scroll, enveloping his body. He couldn't even see his own hands now, but everything that came into contact with his skin became invisible.

"It's strange, there's something to hear here. A man with a wooden stick turned over the grass and walked in, standing a few meters in front of Luo Xue. Luo Xue knew that this wooden stick looked ordinary, but it was actually a murder weapon covered in skin. He shook his head, his mouth wide open and yawned, then turned back.

Sure enough, a search force has been deployed here, and it seems that the dog is very important to him...... But he never imagined that the man who had reached out would have to come back for some reason.

He thought calmly, but his body was shaking honestly. It's like surviving in the cracks of nine deaths. A cold sweat broke out on Luo Xue's forehead, and he slowly pulled out the knife and squeezed it in his hand, feeling a little relieved.

He strolled silently along the edge of the search circle of the search team, his body already damp with rain and dew, and the gloomy smell of earth lingering under his feet.

The day before yesterday, it seemed that the Lord of Yanfeng City did not bring many people, and the items he wanted to auction had already been auctioned off yesterday. It is impossible for a city lord to give up his important affairs and personally go to find a yellow-skinned dog who no longer knows where to run, so he should just leave a group of subordinates scattered around this grove to search and patrol.

Luo Xue stopped, looking at what should have been an icy area from afar. He frowned as he looked at the withered grass and the blood that had melted on the ground, and the two servants who had once been frozen into ice were gone. It shouldn't have been disposed of by the Yanfeng City Lord, he actually hoped for the first time that the enemy he was going to deal with would be smarter and able to avoid strong enemies.

With a glimmer of hope in his arms, he continued to sneak forward.

Twenty minutes passed, and without a sound under his feet, he anxiously searched for the icetail insect as he evaded the search. He finally found some cold slag on a low-lying ground, which was left by the icetail insects as they moved. His hands rubbed the ice slag, the cold air surged, and the familiar feeling made him confirm the existence of the icetail worm.

This area has long been free of searches and ambushes left by the city lord. It seems that it, no, did sense the presence of a strong enemy and left the territory of their own accord. Following the trails left behind, he held his breath and knew that he had reached a critical juncture, and he must not be discovered by them first.

Another five minutes passed, and he didn't notice anything full of cold. So he stood up and put the colorful water he carried with him on his right eye, and when he opened his right eye, he looked into the distance, and the scene in front of him instantly seemed to be composed of elements. In the black field of vision, the earth beneath your feet is earthy yellow, the gurgling water is sky blue, and the air around you is light white. However, no anomalous magical elements were found. Have they gone far?

Luo Xue was disappointed in her heart, and suddenly felt that something had hit her head. He stretched out his right hand and touched it, as if it had touched an electric current, and instantly shook the object in his hand away. It won't be so unlucky, will it...... Luo Xue looked up numbly, and the disappointment in her heart turned into fear.

With his left eye, he could only see debris of ice slag falling from the fog tree branches above his head. But his right eye could vaguely see an ice-blue hexapod insect on top of his head, the tentacles on his head trembled, and the surrounding water vapor condensed on its body from time to time and fell to the ground.

The most terrifying thing is that its huge tail is raised high from the back of its butt to level with its head, and the center of the fork at the tip of the tail gathers a dark black mysterious element.

Seeing that the icetail insect did not find its own level, although the fear in Luo Xue's heart slowly subsided, she did not dare to act rashly.

Fan Xi'er had told herself that the Shadow Cloak spell was ostensibly a spell that integrated her body with her surroundings, but in fact it mentally interfered with the judgment of the creature, so even if a person or a demonic beast saw the caster of the Shadow Cloak, they would instinctively ignore it.

But once you are attacked, or if your range of movement is too large, it will not work, and it will be different. The chance of being detected depends on the magic level of the caster of the Cloak of Shadow.

The icetail insect above his head didn't move for a long time, and the falling ice slag fell on Luo Xue's hair, making Luo Xue's head almost frozen into ice. He thought calmly, thought of a key point, and couldn't help but launch the first scolding in his life in his heart.

This order ...... Luo Xue was completely speechless, the information on the order was all wrong!

There is an icetail insect written on it, but in fact there are two of them, and it says that the area where the icetail insect appears will be covered by a layer of cold breath, yes, it was true at first, but now the insect on the top of the head has no breath at all!

There was an indiscernible "squeak" of insects from the depths of the forest, and the icetail worm above his head heard the sound and spread its hidden wings on its abdomen and flew away.

Seeing the icetail insects burrow into the bushes in front of them and disappear, Luo Xue finally had time to act, and he hurriedly slapped the ice slag on his head and shook them to the ground. I feel like my scalp is frozen.

There were only 30 minutes left, and he estimated the duration of the Shadow Cloak in his mind, and sneaked in the direction of the icetail's movement, making sure to catch the icetail within ten minutes.

The air around it was extremely dry, and it seemed that all the moisture in the air had condensed into ice crystals. Luo Xue raised the shield placed behind her back, held the dagger in her left hand, and confirmed with her right hand the large water bags on both sides of her waist, the four flying knives on her waist and another magic scroll in her arms, and was fully prepared.

Let's go. Pushing aside the dry herb bushes, look at the two ice-blue bugs in front of you and the motionless spherical mass between them. He thought about his future and plucked up courage.
