Chapter 5: The Crystal Thief

"Who are you?"

Aisha's voice was extremely calm, and the little hand holding the magic secret weapon pistol did not tremble at all. She stared intently at the miners, lowering her voice slightly.

"Ivan, tell me, is there a Magic Guiding Primordial Crystal Mine near here?"

"Magician...... Primordial Crystal?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, and he actually reacted suddenly, "There used to be an underground mine here!, but it was not used many years ago, and besides, I remember that it was not the Magic Guiding Primordial Crystal Mine, it was an ordinary coal mine......

"You guys, take out the magic guide crystal on your body. Ivan's recollection, still resounding calm, was interrupted by Esia's still-calm voice, and she turned her gaze to the black cloth bags that the "miners" had clinged to even when they fled for their lives. Some of the bags had cracked open due to tree branches on the road, revealing the dull colored stones inside.

Suddenly, Ivan felt that he could not be surprised any more today.

That's the Magic Channel.

The magic guide crystal, as the name suggests, is the raw material of the magic guide crystal, which looks like a very inconspicuous stone, but after smelting, processing, and synthesis, it can become a magic guide crystal with various functions and even the power to destroy it. However, Ivan knew that the Magic Guiding Primordial Crystal Vein often brought danger. Mutated creatures with magical powers, known as "monsters", often gather near the Demonic Protocrystalline veins and devour the ore. Therefore, the Magic Guiding Alliance has strict restrictions on the mining of the Magic Guiding Primordial Crystal, and it is absolutely not allowed to mine it privately.

Soon, these people disguised as miners realized that their secrets were exposed. A middle-aged man standing behind glanced back with palpitations, and saw that no monsters were catching up, and a fierce light suddenly lit up in his eyes.

"Kid, don't meddle. He sneered and raised the short serrated knife in his hand. This is clearly not what a miner should do. However, before Ivan could tell Aisha to be careful, the next moment, Aisha's hanging left hand was gone, and sharp ice suddenly flew straight towards the man's head. Just as the man was dodging in a hurry, Ai Xia kicked his feet, his body spun, and his feet in leather boots kicked his chin vigorously, and he easily tore off the bag containing the magic guide primordial crystal that he was protecting by his side, and a series of movements, without the slightest hesitation at all.

His two accomplices were dumbfounded when they tried to help. When she came to her senses, Aisha was standing next to their accomplice's head, and although the magic magic weapon pistol in her hand did not glow, no one dared to approach her.

"Why bother, I'm also a trainee magician of the Wizard Alliance!" Despite the words that seemed to be a tantrum, Aisha didn't seem angry, but felt some pity for them. As soon as she raised her hand, the bag containing the Magic Crystal rolled to Ivan's feet.

This kind of thing......

Ivan lowered his head, and sighed in his heart, did Aisha throw this dangerous thing to him to keep him in care?Just as he hesitated, a gust of wind whistled, and he looked up suddenly, only to see an unidentified shadow crashing into the woods on this side.

Immediately afterward, he heard Aisha screaming.

"It's not dead! It's not dead!" the frightened shouts of the crystal thieves disguised as miners instantly drowned out Aisha's voice, and Aisha hurriedly took several steps back, clutching her left arm. Ivan was shocked to find that the left sleeve of Aisha's coat was stained with red blood, and the hand holding the silver pistol was trembling. Aisha paused for a second, then took a few steps back until he reached Ivan's side.

"Hey ......"

"There are monsters that have mutated into this Cheng dΓΉ, but I wasn't careful enough. ”

Aisha was still so calm, though her breathing was heavy because of the pain. In his panic, Ivan glanced at the monster and couldn't help but gasp. A pitch-black bat the size of a child, more narrow than the average bat, baring its sharp fangs and emitting a steaming mist of blood, even the surrounding trees seemed to tremble with fear of the mist.

This should be a monster that can already control "magic power"! It is not at the same level as the kind of bat that has just mutated to a huge size! Suddenly, a fear that seems to come from the depths of memory grabbed Ivan fiercely.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

Facing this giant bat covered in blood mist, the injured Aisha decisively drove the magic secret weapon pistol in his right hand. The flames were shining, burning one charred black patch after another on the long membranous wings of the giant bat, and the smell of burnt meat suddenly spread in the air. The giant bat dodged wildly, making a piercing sound in its throat. Suddenly, it flapped its wings and suddenly rose into the air, and its wide open mouth seemed to contain a putrid blood.

"Ivan get down!"

While Ivan's mind was still blank, Aisha turned and pounced, and at the same time there was a thud behind Aisha.

The hot liquid suddenly stained Ivan's chest.

Aisha's injured left arm had no strength at all, so she collapsed on Ivan's chest. However, in the face of the stunned Ivan, she just smiled and said something as if it was a joke.

β€œ...... If I had known there were monsters, I wouldn't have ...... You sent me ......"

Then, Isha jerked to his feet.

She suddenly dropped her pistol, grabbed the Magic Guide Primordial Crystal bag on the ground and threw it out, and the monster bat that was originally swooping down towards them was distracted by the extremely tempting Wizard Primordial Crystal at this moment.

Without hesitation, Aisha picked up the silver pistol in her left hand with her right hand, and the icy blue light converged on the snowflake-patterned ice-blue magic array to a point, and the moment the bat's sharp claws grabbed the bag, the spear-like ice cube pierced its head.

Blood and brains spurted out, and the body of the monster bat crashed to the ground.

"Ivan!" Isha turned.

Ivan, who was still lying on the ground, was already covered in cold sweat.

It was like having a terrible nightmare.

In the blood-stained nightmare, there was a vague figure struggling desperately, overlapping with Aisha at this moment.

But that's-

"Ivan, Ivan, are you alright......?"

Aisha fell to her knees on the blood-stained grass, and a few damned magic crystal thieves actually took advantage of this moment to run away without a trace, and in the damaged mess of woods, no one would even hear their cries for help. Aisha struggled to prop herself on one hand, sweat soaking her hair. She didn't panic because of the monster, but because of Ivan's current appearance, her eyes were full of horror.

"Ivan, what's wrong with you?"

"I ......"

Perhaps awakened by Aisha's frightened shouts, Ivan sat up suddenly, and the nightmare disappeared, and the figure in front of him was not the dead Wendy......

It's Aisha, clear Aisha.

"What's wrong with you? don't be afraid! it's all right!" said Aisha's face turned pale.

What the?

Right...... Yes, that's right, it's okay already!

The monster not far away had stopped moving, and Ivan knew it was dead when he caught a glimpse of its disgusting condition. The danger passed, leaving only the wind to blow across the battlefield and leave cowardly comfort. The most horrific scene of the past has not been repeated. Aisha is still alive and not ...... like Wendy

"I'm ......" Ivan shook his head vigorously, trying to calm his mess, and he cautiously stood up and walked over to Aisha's side.

Aisha's body was full of blood.

"You...... How's it going?" Ivan gasped.

"I don't care, these little injuries are okay. Aisha smiled brightly again as if she had finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Ivan, please help me, I have to hand over these magic guide crystals to the office, and I must go back quickly." ”
