Chapter 61: Negative Energy
Next, Xia Duo cast all the spells he thought could be used on creatures, and then he withdrew from his casting focus, picked up the skinning knife that he hadn't returned before, and killed the injured goblin with his own hands.
Watching the fragile lives disappear from his hands, from the very uncomfortable at the beginning to the later habitual things, Xia Duo felt quite emotional.
He hadn't even killed a chicken before he crossed over, but now he was able to kill life without changing his face.
It's really the environment that makes people!
Due to the fact that the recruits were all using spears and were not skilled in the first battle, most of these goblins were killed by Xia Duo, except for the first ones who were shot.
However, having experienced the feeling of sending spears into the enemy's body with his own hands, these recruits were also considered to have had a good experience, and Xia Duo could feel that they had begun to gradually transform from peasants to soldiers.
After a battle, although Xia Duo was only slashing and killing the goblins who were injured and fell to the ground, he was also tired enough, and the black iron spears of the recruits must have been even more tired.
The key is a change in mindset that requires a process of adjustment.
"All recruits, rest in place for a while! Drink some water! Jesse, you leave two people around to keep watch, and the others can rest for a while. ”
After saying that, Xia Duo found a slightly flat place nearby and sat down, and the others all began to rest in an orderly manner when they heard the order.
Some of the recruits sat directly on the goblin corpse, while others were disgusted by the smell and sat down against a tree trunk.
When the veterans went out to stand guard, someone brought dry firewood and leaves, lit a fire, and roasted the part of the wolf meat that had been cut before.
Ignoring the corpses of goblins scattered around, it was like a barbecue.
Xia Duo pointed to the people who were barbecuing and whispered to Gibb, "Captain Gibb, do you usually do the same?" ”
"Usually we bring some dry food, such as fried flour, air-dried bacon, etc., and sometimes we also use local materials."
“……”
Xia Duo felt that Gibb was completely wrong with the question, but it could be regarded as solving Xia Duo's question, he originally wanted to ask about discipline, but it seems that the army in the territory does not have such meticulous discipline.
Soon, in a stinky environment, the smell of barbecue wafted in, which was not very fragrant, but compared with the surroundings, Xia Duo still swallowed his saliva secretly.
At this moment, Dean came to look for him, Dean was well protected by Captain Uke before, but he only stabbed the goblin a few times, and he was still fighting in Captain Uke just now!
"Shado, I have a discovery, you come with me." Dean said mysteriously.
"What discovery?"
"I can't say it either, you'll know when you come!"
Not long after Shado sat down, he stood up again, and followed Dean to the place he had spoken—seven or eight goblin corpses piled together.
These are the ones that the veterans specially moved for the barbecue just now, Xia Duo looked at it and didn't find anything strange, if there was, the veterans should have found it just now.
"What did you find?"
Dean didn't say it explicitly, but gave a hint, "You go into the spellcasting concentration state and look at these corpses!" ”
Xia Duo did as he was told, and although he had cast magic during the battle just now, Xia Duo, who had an over-spell experience, never did it again since, and always retained a certain amount of spell-casting ability.
In the state of concentration, these corpses are still inextricably linked to the magic web, but these connections are a little different from when they were alive, as if there is an energy that is slowly channeled out of the magic net by these corpses.
Negative energy!
Xia Duo immediately thought of this word, in the magic net theory class of the mage tower, Xia Duo knew that although the magic net covered the entire world, it did not have energy on its own.
Its energy source actually comes from the inner plane, which is commonly known as the fire, wind, earth, and water element planes, and the positive and negative energy planes, as well as the quasi-elemental and side elemental planes that they combine with each other.
Among them, the positive energy plane is the source of life energy, and correspondingly, the negative energy plane represents the inevitable flow of life.
It is the natural antithesis of life!
The energy emitted by these goblin corpses in front of him gave Xia Duo a feeling of withering life, if nothing else, it was negative energy.
"That's it? Negative energy? Xia Duo said with some dissatisfaction.
Dean should have also taken a magic net theory class, so he shouldn't have guessed that this is a phenomenon of negative energy convergence!
"That's it! I've only seen similar descriptions in books before, but I haven't seen the real energy convergence phenomenon yet! ”
As soon as he heard this, Xia Duo knew that Dean had missed some classes, or simply didn't choose them, generally speaking, the phenomenon of the enrichment of the four elements or the convergence of positive and negative energies was too common.
For example, water will attract water elements, and in turn water will gradually appear in places where water elements are enriched, and other elements are similar, as for positive and negative energy, negative energy is encountered now.
Positive energy can be encountered every day, and light is positive energy.
Xia Duo casually released a [Light Technique], and the little negative energy that had just gathered around the corpse was washed away.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the time had reached late autumn and there was less positive energy in the environment, these corpses would not have been enough to have the phenomenon of negative energy convergence.
"Alright, let's go over, don't you want to taste the taste of freshly roasted wolf meat?"
"Oh, good."
Wolf meat is still a little attractive to Dean, and at this time, these corpses have been purified by Xia Duo shallowly, and there is no negative energy to study, and Dean no longer stays.
Speaking of which, such a stinky goblin is best only if it dies.
……
Next to the fire, the wolf meat had already been roasted, and although Dean and Xia Duo did not participate in the killing, they still got the most tender part by virtue of their status as the resident mage.
However, Xia Duo didn't like such a rough flavor, he only tasted a small piece and no longer needed it, and he wanted to ask Gibb about some wild survival skills rather than eating wolf meat.
He asked, Gibb replied, and occasionally someone else chime in, and the atmosphere was quite friendly.
"By the way, Captain Gibb, how did you dispose of corpses when you were cleaning up goblins in the forest?"
"Basically, there are too many predators in the forest, so for now, as long as we leave, in a few days, these corpses will be found by wild beasts and even goblins, and then eaten."
Hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach, the piece of wolf meat he ate just now, maybe the wolf had eaten the goblin, and Dean directly threw away the wolf meat in his hand.
But those veterans and former adventurers still eat with relish.
"Captain Gib, have you ever seen the undead?" Xia Duo asked again.
Theoretically, if a few corpses appear in a forest where there is no sunlight and are not disposed of in time, it is likely that undead creatures will be born.
