Chapter Twenty-Nine: Spike
Yang Fan got up early the next morning, opened the mutation system and looked at the resources, the two camps of the Sanctuary and the Forest each had five hundred gold coins, and there were 25 units of wood on the side of the Sanctuary.
It will take four days to collect the gold coins to build the city wall, and Yang Fan doesn't want to waste these four days, although he can't go to the Whispering Forest to cut wood for the time being, but other resources can continue to be mined.
What is lacking in development now is only some basic resources, mainly gold, stone, and wood.
At present, gold coins can only be given by the system every day, so Yang Fan decided to mine the stone first in the next few days, anyway, it is better to prepare more things that need to be used.
After breakfast, Yang Fan gathered the peasants, and then took Gate, Xiao Cheng and six archers to set out on the road to the foot of the snow-capped mountain again.
This time he didn't bring all the archers, after all, there was still Laurent in the territory, Catherine and more than a dozen other farmers were all there, and Yang Fan was not at ease if he didn't leave any strength to protect them.
In fact, if it was just for the purpose of mining stones, Yang Fan would not have brought so many people. But this time he had something else to do, and that was to upgrade.
Yesterday, he was promoted to four levels in a row so that he learned the first magic "magic arrow", and he also obtained the talent of magic power, of course he wanted to gain more powerful power, and there were uncertain factors in the whispering forest that could not let him level up with peace of mind, but Yate Snow Mountain was different, at least he had not found any abnormalities in the distribution of demonic beasts.
Because he was going to fight, this time Yang Fan didn't take Lily with him, but left her in the castle.
Catherine liked Lily from the first sight, but unfortunately Lily was only close to Yang Fan, as long as the others were close to her, she would immediately fly away, and Catherine, who couldn't get close to the little guy, could only keep staring at Yang Fan with resentment, her eyes like a child who had been robbed of a toy.
Unable to withstand her mental entanglement, Yang Fan could only use the excuse that there would be killing to keep Lily in the castle to create some opportunities for Catherine.
The group still stayed at the place where the stone was quarried, Yang Fan left the four archers to protect the peasants, and he took Gat, Xiao Cheng and the other two archers to the snowy mountain.
The combat power of the archers is equivalent to that of the third-order demonic beasts, and at the foot of the Snow Mountain, they can completely deal with the general crisis, like the white-tailed wolf last time, I am afraid that they will be shot before they can run in front of the peasants, and the peasants themselves also have some force, so Yang Fan is not too worried about them.
Yate Snow Mountain is covered with snow all year round from the mountainside above, and it is a vast white patch. The top of the mountain is hidden in the clouds, like a fairyland suspended in the air.
It's a pity that this immortal mountain is full of dangers, and the slightest carelessness will be devoured to the point that there are no bones left.
Yang Fan didn't plan to take Xiao Cheng to the snow mountain, after all, it was a snake, and the place where the temperature was too low was not suitable for its activities, but he thought that he wouldn't go up the mountainside, so he still brought it. Anyway, it's also a sixth-order demonic beast, and its combat power is still good.
A few people had just walked less than two hundred meters up the mountain when they encountered the first demonic beast, with two big round ears, a pointed mouth showing two large teeth, two hind feet squatting on the ground, and the other front paws holding an unknown nut in its mouth and biting it crackling.
This is a second-order magical beast "Wind Mouse", as the name suggests, it is a magical beast with the surname of the wind family, and its movements are flexible and fast.
Yang Fan, who had just learned to use magic, couldn't wait to try his skills, and instructed Gater and the archers to sweep the formation, and Yang Fan began to concentrate on mobilizing magic power.
A stream of heat in the dantian poured all the way into the center of the eyebrows, and then gushed out and combined into a lightning arrow in mid-air.
After preparing the magic, Yang Fan concentrated on staring at the "Wind Rat", his right hand was drawn forward, a white light flashed, and the arrow pierced the "Wind Rat" fiercely.
"Squeak!" the wind rat screamed, his fur was charred black, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground and his limbs twitched.
The first battle was won, and Yang Fan was excited. Although it was only a second-order demonic beast, it gave him confidence, and the bitterness in his heart that he had been suppressing gradually dissipated.
Since he came to this world, he has been protected. When he was unconscious, Laurent and Catherine took care of him all day, and when he woke up, Gater guarded him, and then his subordinates became more and more closely protected.
But he became more and more depressed, because he felt like a waste who could only drag others down. Especially the last time he was in the Whispering Forest, he felt particularly deeply, if it weren't for the protection of Gat, I was afraid that he would be killed by the demonic beast as soon as he entered the forest.
But now he has finally begun to master his own strength, although he is still very weak, but with the increase in level, Yang Fan believes that he will one day be able to become one of the top powerhouses.
"Master, when did you learn magic? This magic of yours is almost capable of the attack power of a third-order creature. Gate looked at Yang Fan in surprise.
His thoughts were interrupted, Yang Fan came back to his senses and smiled, "It was the last time I was in the Whispering Forest, before you came back, I tried it in the lake, and the power was not bad, and I stunned a lot of fish." ”
Gate and Keith wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and muttered in their hearts, "Using magic arrows to catch fish, our master is really imaginative!"
"Master, I hope you don't use magic for those little things in the future, otherwise what if you don't have magic in case of an accident?" said Gate.
Knowing that he cared about himself, Yang Fan didn't care about his slightly blaming tone. "Yes, if it weren't for your young face, I suspect you'd be an old man in your seventies and eighties. ”
Gat's face turned red, scratched his head and grinned, "Master, don't make fun of me, I know I have a lot of words, and I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
"It's strange that you can pay attention. Yang Fan thought to himself. He could see that Gate was a foolish man, and as long as it was an object of allegiance that he approved, he would put all his energy into that person.
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Yang Fan smiled and said, "I don't blame you, what you said is right, magic is not juggling, it is not cast for fun." But have you thought about it, Gat, I'm just getting into magic, if I can't get familiar with it as soon as possible, how will I deal with it when I encounter battles in the future?"
After a pause, Yang Fan shifted his gaze to the charred body of the wind rat and said, "For example, the 'Magic Divine Arrow', if it weren't for me using this magic to attack the 'Wind Rat' today, how would I know that I could kill a second-order demonic beast with this magic?"
Of course, Gater knows this, as practice makes perfect, and the same goes for magic. If you don't go through a long period of casting, it is impossible to make much progress, and only by continuous training can you better improve your mental power and magic power. It's just that Yang Fan is his master, and out of concern for him, Gate subconsciously ignored these.
"Master, I see. But I still hope that you can save as much magic as possible without anyone to protect you. "Getter is as stubborn as a rock.
Yang Fan's decision Getter would not object, and Get's preaching Yang Fan would not care. Yang Fan smiled bitterly and waved his hand to end the topic, there was no point in arguing like this.
