"Really, there are no animals...... Xu Shuo said with some nervous fatigue.

They had been in the forest for three hours since they caught the dough rabbit, and they had not seen any living creatures except a bird flying through the sky.

"No way, there is such a monster in the forest, the smell alone scares the other animals away, and the rest are either hibernate or hiding, and it has been like this for the past month, ten times out of the house, eight times without harvest." As he spoke, Toshio defended in a low voice: "This is also the reason why we robbed the road, the village is really short of supplies. ”

"But it's strange that even the birds haven't seen again." Lilian frowned and looked at the sky.

When the bird appeared halfway through, she let the bird fly away because she couldn't react immediately, which made Lilion feel very remorseful, so she kept the arrow on the string after that, half-holding the bow, and her eyes looked overhead from time to time, ready to shoot the arrow. But the bird never reappeared, and Lilian's hand remained so tense.

Xu Shuo looked at Lilian's frowning brows, and estimated that even if she was a dragon girl, her hand should be sour at this time.

"Lilian, if you're tired, put your hands down, don't force it."

"No, it won't be good if you miss it again."

Lilion stubbornly raised her bow.

Xu Shuo didn't want to say anything when he saw her like this, he scratched his head and looked at the other members of the hunting group, only to find that some of the little ghosts had frozen and hugged their arms, and most of them were still pale.

"Hey, Toshio, should we go back?" Xu Shuo pointed at the little ghosts and said.

"Huh?" Toshio turned his head to look at the team members, and immediately showed a panicked expression, "Oh no, it's too bad, I was looking for prey, and I forgot to make a fire every two hours." Hey, you guys, don't you know what to say?! ”

Toshio grumbled as he rushed to the nearest tree, slashing at the trunk with the only half-cut knife left in his hand.

"Make a fire! Everyone, collect the dead branches, let's find a spacious place to make a fire! Really, I don't know how to remind me, in case any of you get sick and get scolded, but I'm it! ”

They found a fairly wide open space and piled up the branches they had picked up, and Toshio cut a long plank from the tree, and he drilled a hole in it, and took a handful of silk hair from his clothes and stuffed it into the hole, and found a stronger branch, and drilled it against the hole. The team members tacitly formed a circle to block the wind for Junxiong.

Seeing Junxiong squeezing his palms with a struggling look, Xu Shuo couldn't help but say: "Otherwise, leave the matter of making fire to Lilian, she will use the general magic of making fire." ”

Toshio's hand stopped, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Lilian in unison.

"You can use magic?" Toshio asked Lilian.

Suddenly being watched by everyone, Lilian was a little nervous.

"Hmm...... Any questions? ”

"No, no, since you will, then you can come."

Toshio lifts the plank away to make room for Lilian.

Lilian glanced at the ground, crouched down and pushed the snow to the side, explaining as she went, "You can't use a magic array to make fire on the snow. ”

Everyone understood, and they all helped dig up the ground, and after a while, a small open space was cleared, and then Lilian and Xu Shuo asked for a short knife to carve a magic circle on the ground.

Toshio and the others watched intently from the sidelines, as if they wanted to engrave each step into their minds.

Once the circle was drawn, Lilien held out her finger and pressed it to the edge of the circle, chanting softly.

"Light the way forward in the darkness...... Save the world from the bitter cold...... Companion of the God of Creation...... Spirit of Fire, please give me a symbol of warmth and hope, Tinder, manifest! ”

As Lilian finished chanting, a pinch of flame burst from the center of the circle.

"W-Is that all right?!"

The moment he saw the flames, Toshio showed a surprised expression.

"Yes." Liliam nodded.

Toshio stared at the circle with a confused expression on his face.

"To be honest, this magic circle Bai Yu has also studied, and it is exactly the same as this one of yours, but no matter how we try, we can't successfully summon the flame at the last step, is there any trick in this?"

"The trick?" Lilian tilted her head, thought about it, and said, "Well, it doesn't seem like there's a trick, just inject magic into it after drawing the circle." ”

"Can you put out this fire and let me try? If you can learn the general magic of making a fire, you won't have so much trouble making campfires in the future. Toshio said.

"Okay."

Lilion made a hole in one of the circle's lines with her dagger, and the flames in the center of the circle disappeared, and she redrew the lines along the previous line, resetting the circle.

"That's it, you try."

Toshio knelt down on one knee, put his hand on the edge of the circle, opened his mouth, and wanted to chant, but seemed to have forgotten the words, so he looked at Lilian with some embarrassment.

Lilian immediately understood and said, "Mr. Toshio, you can read it with me." ”

Toshio nodded.

"Okay, please."

After that, Lilian sings a verse, and Toshio repeats it, and he shows his full attention the whole time, but ......

“…… Spirit of Fire, please give me a symbol of warmth and hope, Tinder, manifest! ”

The circle didn't react.

"Why, why can't I do it when I arrive?" Toshio was puzzled.

"Mr. Toshio, have you injected your magic into it properly?" Lilian asked.

Toshio looked down at his palm.

"I don't know, I haven't used my magic much."

Xu Shuo watched from the sidelines, and also came with some interest, the skills he has been using all have to consume mana, but he has never been very clear about how those magic power is converted into skills, and he has never tried general magic, and now when he heard Lilian ask Junxiong if he injected magic power, he suddenly thought of the circuit diagram that would appear in the junior high school physics exam.

Maybe these magic arrays are just like circuit diagrams, properly depicted, and then injected into them like electricity, and they can work normally?

Thinking about it like this, Xu Shuo couldn't help it.

"Let me try."

Xu Shuo said as he leaned over to Junxiong and squatted down, and then couldn't wait to press his hand on the magic circle.

"Does Mr. Xu Shuo know the lyrics? Do you want me to read it to you? Liliam asked.

Xu Shuo shook his head.

"No, I want to try not to sing first."

"No chant?"

Lilian showed a slightly worried look, but remembered that Xu Shuo didn't seem to have sung anything before with her skills, so she didn't stop it.

Xu Shuo's hand was against the magic circle, thinking about the method of controlling the magic power in his heart, and the first thing that came to his mind was the scene where the black afterimage extended from the end of the blade when he used the [Shadow Blade].

(Is that how it feels...... ）

Xu Shuo tightened his palm while imagining the feeling when he released the [Shadow Blade], a slight burning sensation appeared in his palm, and at the same time, the magic circle on the ground seemed to have been triggered, Xu Shuo could feel a faint traction absorbing his palm.

A moment later, a cluster of flames appeared in the center of the circle.

"Oh! You can cast spells without chanting! ”

As soon as Toshio finished expressing his amazement, the flames of the circle began to sway violently, and continued to grow, and when everyone noticed the abnormality, the flames began to turn black from the bottom, and the red-orange flames turned into black flames in an instant, and continued to receive, and they were about to become a pillar of fire.

"Mr. Xu Shuo, stop!" Lilion exclaimed.

Xu Shuo also realized that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to withdraw his magic power, but it was still a step too late.

The black flames converged into a pillar and suddenly jumped up to a meter high, accompanied by a piercing scream, and the center of the circle exploded with a "bang".

Fortunately, the force of the explosion was not great, but the clods of earth and mud and sand scattered the surrounding people.

"Phew! Bah! Junxiong got closer, the sand and soil entered his mouth, he spit out the soil in his mouth, looked around at the group members, and saw that everyone was okay, then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Shuo, "What the hell are you doing, how did it explode?" ”

"Sorry, it was an accident." Xu Shuo slapped the dust off his head a little embarrassed and looked at everyone, "Everyone, are you not injured?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a small explosion, it just scared me." Baozi stood at the outskirts of the crowd and behaved the most freely, "But how did you do it, it's so cool, teach me." ”

"It's all said to be an accident......

At this time, Lilian also recovered from the fright, and said to Xu Shuo with a serious face: "Mr. Xu Shuo, it is too dangerous to use unskilled magic without chanting, next time, please follow the guidance of chanting words to inject magic power." ”

"Bootstrapping?" Xu Shuo noticed a special word.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Tian poked his head out of the crowd, sniffed and said, "You, I have no opinion on you learning magic, can you light the fire first, my feet seem to be unconscious." ”
