Chapter Seventy-Two: Attacked
Knowing this, they always follow the same route, heading to the plains. Every time the Earth Storm Bear roared, but there was nothing it could do to set foot on the plains. In the end, I had to leave with hatred.
In this way, Ace and Alexander have grabbed a lot of Earth Cores, and it should be no problem to make at least two or three wands.
Alexander, who had not been at all interested in fighting, was now excited. He gradually found that it seemed like a very satisfying thing to get paid off by fighting.
Six days later, when Ace and Alexander tried to get the core of the earth again, they found that the big man had not come out.
"It seems that it has finally found our true purpose. If it continues to haunt us, its core will be robbed of by us. Ace said with a smile.
Alexander exclaimed, "I haven't had enough of it. Why didn't it dare to come out? ”
Ace looked at him contemptuously and said, "Do you mean that you don't have enough of the Earth's Core yet?" You've got enough material to make two staffs, aren't you satisfied? ”
Alexander reluctantly said: "How is this enough?" I can sell for more money! A lot of money! ”
"From my observations of you these days, I can conclude that your family's status in the Yama Empire is definitely not low, at least it is also a nobleman above the marquis, but you are so greedy for money, why is that?" Ace was confused.
With the expression "You will never understand" written on his face, Alexander said: "Money gives me security!" ”
Ace stood up, looked around and said, "Okay, since this guy has seen through our tricks, we won't bother him tomorrow." ”
"Huh? No, if you don't come out today, it doesn't mean you won't come out tomorrow! Let's continue tomorrow! Alexander said with a firm expression.
Ace waved his hand and said, "If you want to come, just come by yourself, I won't come anyway!" With that, Ace prepared to leave.
But just then, Ace suddenly heard the sound of a tree branch breaking in the distance. Although the sound was small, more than 40 meters away, Ace could now hear it clearly, and he could conclude that someone must be there.
Ace quickly winked at Alexander, who was about to look back, but Ace stopped him.
"Don't look back. He should wait for the opportunity to raid. Let's pretend not to know for the time being and wait for him to act! Ace whispered.
Alexander could hear such a voice in front of him, but no one from 40 meters away could hear it, unless he was also a dark mage.
Ace and Alexander pretend that everything is okay and prepare to leave. Just then, a red fireball roared towards their location. The fireball flew fast and flew towards them in the blink of an eye.
But Ace was ready for it. He pulled Alexander, and with a "top speed" suddenly moved to a big tree seven or eight meters away.
With a loud bang, the place where Ace had been standing was completely engulfed in flames. In the blink of an eye, the ground became a large area of charred black.
"It's not a place to fight. We're going to fight in the jungle! Ace whispered to Alexander.
Alexander nodded repeatedly. He understood what Ace meant. This is on the edge of the swamp, and the Earth Storm Bear is likely to be drawn to the fight. If Ace and Alexander are found to be in a fighting state, the Monster will definitely intervene, and at that point they will be in a completely passive state.
These days of actual combat have also allowed Alexander to make a lot of progress. Needless to say, Estor had already burrowed into the dense forest and found an extremely hidden corner, where his eyesight was very good and he could observe all the changes in all directions.
Ace chanted a spell in his mouth, and his body disappeared immediately.
Ace knew very well that if the two of them couldn't hide immediately, then they would be in a very passive state.
Listen to a voice: "Hey, two little guys, I've been watching you for days." Give me the core of the earth, or don't blame me! ”
The voice was a bit hoarse, like the sound of stones rubbing against each other.
At this time, Ace used the protection of the "hidden" magic to find the specific location of the speaker.
"Dark mage? It's really rare now! The fire mage who was hiding in the darkness continued.
Ace quickly determined the person's location based on the direction of the voice. It was a raised boulder covered with hay. A voice came from behind the boulder.
Ace has indeed noticed something strange in recent days. He always felt like someone was watching him. It's a very vague intuition. If it weren't for the spirit perceiving it, he would never have noticed. He had just tried to find the source of the exhalation, but after several attempts he had not found it. And there was no abnormality for three consecutive days, and Ace didn't take it to heart.
But now, the man seems to have been hiding in the dark. Presumably he wanted to attack suddenly when the two of them let their guard down. In this way, he can directly obtain a large number of Earth Storm Bears and benefit from the fisherman, without having to spend a lot of energy dealing with Earth Storm Bears in the swamp.
Under the cover of "stealth", Alexander could not see the specific location of Ace. However, judging by the tacit understanding that had been established between the two over the past few days, Alexander knew that Ace would never leave his casting range.
Ace originally wanted to walk around behind the boulder and catch the other side unprepared, but doing so would expose his tracks. Once a fight breaks out, he will be one-on-one with someone who does not show up, and will definitely be at a disadvantage and even worry about his life. At this time, if a reasonable reminder is made, then your whereabouts will inevitably be revealed.
Therefore, Ace made the safest decision, standing near the boulder and waiting for the enemy to take the initiative.
"Hey, little one, I know you can be invisible, but any magic is time-consuming and requires a lot of mana. Based on my recent observations of you, you should be a fourth-level dark mage. Under normal circumstances, you can only be incognito for a maximum of eight minutes! As soon as your stealth effect is over, I can easily take out the two of you! ”
The man's voice came again.
Ace couldn't help but hang his face, because what this guy said was really right. If he remains silent, they will be in a passive position as long as the other party waits for the "concealment" effect to pass.
At that time, if Ace were to cast the "hidden" magic again, it would cause a large amount of mana in his body to be consumed. Once the battle begins, the battle time will be greatly reduced, and he simply will not be able to support him through a full battle.
I didn't expect this guy hiding behind a stone to be so cautious. Facing two opponents whose strength was completely inferior to him, he still did not attack rashly, but chose the safest war of attrition, consuming the magic power on Ace's body.
