Chapter III: Discovery

Mike rode Sal, Sermena rode the pig, and the proprietress rode her animal companion Lara the ferocious bat, and the speed was quite fast, but it took more than an hour to run fifteen or sixteen kilometers before catching up with the Laicalera siblings along the mark. To be exact, it is the traces of the two siblings fighting.

"Brother Mike, there are a couple of goblin corpses over there. "The sharp-eyed reconnaissance aircraft Sal was the first to find out about the situation.

"Sermena, take off immediately. "Mike: No matter what the situation is, the first thing is to be safe. Now that he has entered the forest, the terrain is complex and there are too many concealments, and he, a noble master, is easy to be ambushed, so it is better to leave the scene to a professional ranger when he examines the scene closely.

"Enemy?" the proprietress drew her bow and arrows, and flew over on a ferocious bat. Sermena blessed Pig Ben and flew up in the air.

"There's a goblin corpse, there must have been a fight, it's unpredictable, wait until I use a few detection spells first. "Mike has always been a safety first, and the detection magic range is generally about 20 meters, so it is very safe to double the range.

"What's the matter, it must be Laikalella who chased the enemy and found out that it was just a group of goblins, so she attacked. Sermena didn't think so, she was just a goblin, and Sanzang Town grabbed a nest.

"No, that's not the case. "The proprietress has already flown around twice on a bat, and her expression is solemn. "First of all, I didn't see the marks left by the two siblings, and if they won the battle, they should have left a mark to remind us. Secondly, the scope of the battle was large and unusual, the corpses of the goblins and the main battle site were here, but there was still a battle mark about a hundred meters back, and there were hanging branches nearby, a tumbling mark and blood stains that were several meters long. It looks more like the two siblings were attacked by something while fighting with the goblins, and the two were defeated. It is likely that the elder brother stayed behind to resist the other party and let the younger sister escape on a ferocious bat, but it did not buy much time, and the younger sister was shot down after only escaping about 100 meters. ”

"No traces of the undead were observed at the scene, there should be no undead, or the traces left by their lack of strength have dissipated. No traces of magic were observed, and neither side should have used magic, or the level of use was not high. How's the strength of the two siblings?" Mike completed his detection magic.

"Experience, good quality. If they were just ordinary enemies, it would never have been possible for them to not even have a chance to escape. The proprietress looked even more grim, "I've already reported the news through the psychic link. Now we search around here, just don't land in the air, don't even get too close to the ground and trees. ”

"Aren't you making too much of a fuss?" Sermina was a little skeptical, "If you look twenty or thirty meters away in the air, you probably can't tell." "What Sermena is trying to say is that you are all relying on Meng.

"No, not at all, the signs are already obvious. And the enemy may be hiding nearby, waiting for someone to come down and sneak up on them. Since the two siblings of Laikalella can't escape after the attack, I'm sure neither can you and I. Maybe Mike and Sal could, if they still had a chance after being sneak attacked. The hostess looked grim.

"There is nothing wrong with being careful, not to mention that the enemy is very dangerous. The last time a priest with strong martial arts and ability to use fourth-order divine arts, and I led people to exterminate the ghost woman, that is, the time when we rescued Audrey, just because of a little negligence, the priest and the other three people were sacrificed. "At that time, if everyone had been more careful and retreated outside the tower, or at least near the exit, that would not have happened.

"But my magic won't last long, and you have to rely on Thrall to do it......" Sermena was said to be a little scared, Ryugu Chenghei has been in peace for a long time, and she is not a captain of the guard with a lot of combat experience and adventure experience.

The brave and wise Lord Thrall stopped speaking at this time.

"It's okay, we're around here, let's see if we can find the two siblings, and if we can't find them in ten minutes, we'll go back. Be careful not to separate. What worries me the most is that the other side has a strong long-range ability, and even the ability to fly quickly, at least enough to shoot down the ferocious bat. "The proprietress clearly made up her mind.

In a place obscured by trees and stones, a pair of eyes were staring closely at the three people and one dragon in the air. The other party was reluctant to land, apparently realizing something. Although it is a pity to let them go, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be caught rashly, and the loss of leaking their whereabouts outweighs the loss.

But instead of leaving, the other party began to search along the involute line, which made it impossible for the lurker to let the other party go. Because of his means of transportation, a phantom horse is hidden nearby, and if it goes on like this, it will inevitably be discovered by the other party, and then it will be troublesome.

There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break into.

The Lurker bent his bow and aimed at the weakest ferocious bat. Originally, mages and dragons were supposed to be the priority targets, but they flew relatively high and cast defensive spells at the first time, and the lurkers were not sure to shoot them with bows and arrows.

Lala screamed from several arrows, and her body involuntarily fell to the ground, obviously no longer alive. The proprietress was shocked and immediately prepared to fall. But Mike adds a levitation trick to her just in time, and Sal flies over and grabs her shoulders to raise her altitude so that she doesn't float in the air as a target.

The Lurker turned his attention to Pig Run. After Lara's attack, Sermena immediately began to raise her height to summon a meat shield, but Pig Ben still had two arrows in her body and blood flowing. Frightened, Sermena's soul was frightened, but fortunately, the summoning spell was completed, and three vultures appeared in the air, protecting her and Pig Ben with their bodies.

"There!" When the lurker attacked for the second time, the proprietress spotted him and immediately fired back with her bow and arrows. However, after the arrow hits the enemy, it is directly bounced away, and it cannot hurt the opponent at all.

Mike immediately chanted a fireball and hit the lurker who was shooting, but it didn't work!Mike switched to using a magic missile that ignored elemental resistance, and it didn't work again! Now Mike saw clearly, the enemy had spell resistance, and the missile couldn't penetrate at all. Spell resistance is a bit of a headache for mages, either the caster's level is high enough to penetrate, or the spell is difficult to use entity-type attack magic.

"Withdraw first!" Although the bow and arrow are invalid, the magic is also invalid, although the opponent's long-range firepower is quite fierce, but he is just a brute, and he can abuse as much as he wants when his brother chooses a good position.

By this time, the lurker had already fired a few more arrows, killing all three vulture horses that Sermena had summoned to serve as meat shields. But when he shot the boar again, Mike had already mastered his flying skills, flew to Sermena's side, and ran away with her and the pig to any door, and all the lurker's arrows missed. He wanted to shoot the dragon again, but Thrall had already flown more than two hundred meters, and it was naturally extremely difficult to hit an object flying at high speed at this distance.

Hmph, count you guys running fast. The Lurker put away his bow and arrows and hid himself again, came to the hidden Phantom Pony, and sped away in the other direction. The divine horse flies faster than the dragon, but there is no way to resist the demon, and most of the fireballs are hit by fireballs, so it will be more troublesome at that time.

"No, he's going to attack other people. The proprietress saw the Phantom Pony and judged the target of the lurker from the direction. "At best, they are about the same strength as us, and they are extremely dangerous. ”

"Insect carving skills. Boss, you ride the pig back, and Sermena and I will chase after Sal. "The noble Dragoon Master thinks he is very good at air combat.

This has the great advantage of being able to take Thrall and Sermena through any door in some cases. If there is one more proprietress or pig run, you won't be able to take everyone with you when you turn in.

Sermena apparently understood Mike's intentions and immediately turned into a monkey and lay on Mike's back. Sal immediately let go of the proprietress and Mike flapped his wings on her back.

"You guys, well, be careful. Although the proprietress thinks that it is more reasonable for herself and Mike to ride Sal to chase after her, it is not the time to talk too much, and the phantom pony is almost out of sight when she speaks. Besides, the two of them have already left her and Zhu Ben behind, and she can only return to the Elven Tree as soon as possible, otherwise if the lurker turns around and comes back, the two of them can only deliver food.

Mike gave Sal a "Boeing 747 aerodynamic shield", otherwise it would be too slow, only six or seven percent of the highest-level Phantom horses lurking on the horse.

"Hey, why is Thrall so much faster than usual?" said Sermena's monkey voice in a strange voice, barely intelligible.

Mike pretended to be deaf and dumb. He couldn't explain this to anyone else, and he would be divulging knowledge of Earth that required strict secrecy.

"Wise, I can fly as fast as I want!" Sal unceremoniously took the credit for himself.

This kind of self-created spell is not very useful, and it is quite difficult to deduce the principle from the effect, but since there is only a 2nd order, it is easy for someone to steal the spell book to learn, so he didn't write it down in his spell book at all. Anyway, he has a lot of spells, and he always remembers one, and once he uses it, he uses mana pearls to restore it, so that he doesn't need to re-memorize it.

Sermena will be suspicious of Sal's words. Thrall's outburst was indeed able to fly so fast, but it was very expensive, and he couldn't last two minutes on his own, and he needed proper treatment to hold on long enough. But looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to be very desperate.

Because Mike never used casting materials to cast spells, and his self-created spells were neither chanting nor moving, he was not discovered by Sermena at all. She used detection magic to look at Sal, and could only find that there were three low-level spells, spell spell prophecy, it should be mage armor and see through invisibility, and another spell spell spell couldn't guess, it is likely that Sal accidentally added mage armor twice, it seems that there is nothing strange;

In Semena's mind, if you want to use spells to greatly increase your flight speed, why should you be mid-level, and it should be a change system that changes the body structure, and now there are neither mid-level spells nor change systems, then it should really be Thrall flying on his own. Get ready for treatment.
