Chapter 85: The Elven Trail
Bang Bang –
A string of sparks suddenly popped out of a firewood in the campfire, and Xia Duo raised his head, rubbed his stiff neck, and rubbed his cold hands, ready to continue studying the spell notes.
At the moment when he lowered his head, Xia Duo suddenly caught a glimpse of a vigorous figure out of the corner of his eyes, which flashed in the distance, Xia Duo immediately became alert, lowered his voice, and shouted: "There is a situation!" ”
Bored, Dean immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gibb also ran over, and attached great importance to Xia Duo's reminder, but they had already arranged for people to be on guard around, and no one except Xia Duo saw the figure.
Xia Duo called Ava, and Ava also said that he was very innocent, and the high-level wanderer only had a pair of eyes, and it was impossible to observe all directions at the same time, "Master Xia Duo, could it be that you are mistaken, I didn't hear any abnormal sounds just now." ”
"Impossible, I can still tell if it's an illusion, Captain Gib, inform everyone to be on alert and get ready for battle."
After arranging the temporary camp, Xia Duo pointed in the direction where he found the mysterious figure, and said to Ava, "Ava, you go over there and investigate to see if there are any strange traces." ”
With the prestige of Xia Duo, the others hesitated, but still obeyed the order. When Ava went to investigate, Shado also sorted out his belongings, especially his crossbow, dagger, and scroll box.
There are a total of ten poisoned arrows, five of which were used in the previous battle, and now there are five left, just to fill the crossbow box, and the dagger is also quenched with poison, but the chance of using it is estimated that there are not many opportunities.
And the magic scroll distributed on it was only one [Demonized Weapon] scroll, and a few more [Luminous Technique] scrolls made by Xia Duo, and the others were used up in the previous few weak battles.
As for spells, Xia Duo felt that it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a fight.
From a distance, he saw Ava crouching on the ground to check something, then carefully took a few steps in one direction before crouching down again to check.
For some reason, Xia Duo suddenly felt as if things had become complicated.
Soon, Ava returned, and Shado couldn't see anything from his expression, and was about to ask, when Ava looked at him with a strange look, "Master Shado, there are indeed some traces there. ”
"What traces? Orcs or Humans? Xia Duo couldn't wait to ask, just far away, he only saw a momentary figure, but he couldn't tell what race it was, whether it was friend or foe.
"Neither orcs nor humans."
"What's that? Is it an elf? Dean laughed, "How could an elf be here!" ”
But Xia Duo, who heard this, thought about it seriously, he had seen the elf with his own eyes, and the figure just now was very vigorous, and it was not impossible to say that it was an elf.
He turned his gaze to Ava and motioned for him to continue.
Ava didn't say the conclusion directly, but described the results of his examination -
"There were only four or five very shallow traces there, and I couldn't even make out the footprints, and if it weren't for the fact that Master Xia Duo was so sure that he saw a humanoid figure, I would have thought it was a trace left by a branch on a dead leaf."
"If you're looking at humanoids, what do you think could be the cause of it?" Shado asked.
Ava hesitated, but replied, "Actually, whether it's a human, an elf, or any other race, it's possible. ”
"Why?"
"Because if those four or five traces are left by creatures, ordinary people or ordinary elves can do nothing more than that, only professionals with extremely high agility can do it, and there are only four or five abnormal traces on the scene, which is something that those high agility professionals can't do, I think there should be a magic factor in it."
Ava didn't say anything about the rest of the words, Xia Duo calculated in his heart that it would take high agility to leave such traces, and if only those few traces were left, magic might be needed.
This almost points directly at the elves.
Human beings have a limited lifespan, and both wanderers and mages are basically focused on their own realms, and it is almost impossible to do both.
How many mages are willing to train as a wanderer for years? If you have time, you might as well study magic!
This very unlikely person will appear in the Green Bead Forest? Xia Duo didn't believe it, but the elves were probably bigger, had a long lifespan, and had enough time and energy to study cross-domain things.
Moreover, in Savile Territory, and even in the whole of Nesser, elves are not very difficult to find, and many elves like to venture and travel in the human world.
In such a small place as Savile, Xia Duo had seen an elf with his own eyes less than a year after crossing over.
For elves, Xia Duo has neither a special liking nor a bad feeling, but he knows that elves will not embarrass humans easily, and when it is really difficult, he can't hide.
Xia Duo had basically decided that the mysterious figure was an elf, and thinking so, Xia Duo was ready to let everyone lift their guard.
At that moment, Ava suddenly said, "Someone's coming!" ”
This made Xia Duo's heart rise again, and he hurriedly asked, "In which direction?" ”
Ava pointed to the west, "In that direction, about 3 or 40 meters. ”
"Are you sure it's human?"
Xia Duo was already a little irritated by these sudden situations, "How many people? ”
"It's human, it's only human!"
As if to support her judgment, Ava also said a few details about the person who came, "Medium to low stature, slow steps, should be an ordinary person with no training." ”
Although according to Ava's judgment, the person who came was just an ordinary person, but Xia Duoke did not relax at all, what was he doing wandering alone in the forest on such a cold day?
And it's still in the west, and the one who gave Xia Duo the blame before was a mage apprentice, who was hunted down alone, and it was obvious that his teammates had already hung up.
In this case, people from the west are suspicious.
Shado spoke his mind and told the others to remain vigilant and wait for the arrival of the human.
……
On the other side, Master Kenny dragged his tired body slowly through the forest, finally getting rid of the pursuer, but he was unable to enter the spellcasting state because he was overcast.
He has been running wild for a long time, even if he has the support of magic, his physical strength has already reached the limit, and being unable to enter the spell casting state means that the spell cannot be used and the dimensional bag cannot be opened.
And this also meant that in the cold, hungry, and physical strength reached the limit, he had no support, he was tired, hungry, and extremely cold, and Kenny felt like he was dying.
He now regrets very much that he agreed to the old Neil's deal, and perhaps directly threatening the old Neil to hand over the location of the ruins is the best option.
Ironically, the only object of his survival now is the target he originally wanted to kill.
