Chapter Seventy-One: Encounter with a Demon
It didn't take much effort to find the real excavation site, but when there were still a few kilometers to go, the remnants of the magic pulse came rushing in and choking. Du Zheng casually glanced at the time displayed on the car, and suddenly remembered Xiang Qian's words. Maybe she's right, she's a little different from before. In the past, the smell of intense magic would make him instantly free from boredom and become extraordinarily energetic, but now it was becoming less and less attractive.
He sent a communication spell to the back car, "Leave one person to watch the executor, and the others all get out of the car and approach on foot." ”
They are mages, not humans. Humans hide in the metal shells of cars when they are in danger, but such metal is so vulnerable to magic that they sit in it. Therefore, when a mage encounters danger, he should try to get out of such a place.
When Du Zheng got out of the car, he took another cigarette to himself, and the valley was quiet, and all the animal movements disappeared, except for the bird overhead. He walked briskly across the dry river in the valley, which was supposed to be a tributary of the valley, and the dry channel was full of broken branches of weeds and shrubs. The dead valley was filled with only the sound of the wind and the sound of their feet stepping on dead branches, and a dozen mages walked silently through the valley. He could feel that Mahjong was experienced in reining in his magical aura, mixed in with a dozen battle mages, and it was not easy for people to find out that he was a mind mage.
Roach can't do it at all at this time, he doesn't blame Roach, Roach hasn't even finished the book, he lacks a lot of systematic training, and he won't protect himself. He was quite clever enough to find a lot of solutions to the problem, but he suffered from the fact that these solutions were already written in the textbooks of the academy, and he did not need to explore them on his own. The lessons and lessons of countless predecessors have been accumulated into a book, but he has no time to master them, he can be smart for a while, but he will definitely step on the minefield that his predecessors have stepped on. There has never been a mind mage in this world who can endure the great negative effects of telepathy alone without guidance. Mahjong explained to him that this is like the process of human exploration of radioactive materials, and the first people who discovered it died unprepared from radioactive injuries, which is an inevitable loss, but there is no need for the later people to rely on themselves to discover that nuclear radiation will kill people.
So Roach had better learn more from the monks in the Highlands. Those monks are a bunch of weirdos, and Du Zheng has always disliked them. They offer shelter to everyone, whether they are good or bad, whether they are right or wrong, they are simply a bunch of virgins. But now he had to admit that he was glad that they were a group of virgins, and that they accepted Roach much better than others. Don't say that Luo Qi is only slightly different, Du Zhengyi believes that even if Luo Qi is a mutant with twenty heads, the highland mage will accept him just as well. This tolerant attitude is particularly trusting, and this is probably the only place where Roach can learn.
But he had better go back early, nothing good happened every time he left Roach. However, at the moment, the camp of the high and low mages is really the safest place in the world, especially since Pei Shu is also there, so there is nothing to worry about. There must have been a time when he went back and found that Roach could study with the teacher without being coerced by force, right? It's his turn, right?
However, I talked to Pei Shu alone yesterday, and what Pei Shu said always lingered in his heart. Pei Shu listened a lot about the hearing and the sandbox test, but in the end he only had one sentence, an emotionless question. "Roach has a lot of valuable qualities in this kid, but he's too cunning, do you see?"
He didn't know what this sentence meant, and how many meanings it had. It was as if a breeze was blowing across the water, and only a ripple swept away. This sentence was not a serious condemnation, and he could not argue from Roach's point of view. It wasn't even a question, so he didn't need to answer. But because it is as light as a feather, it cannot be measured, and this sentence is always there.
A terrible chirp overhead brought him out of his musings, and he could already see the shadow of the machinery, the excavation site ahead, and the smell of decay intensified. The excavation site is backed by a high mountain, and the slope is covered with dirty snow and ice, like old cotton wool. This is the melting glacier.
Du Zhengyi stopped and stared at the mountain. The battle mages at the back of the team immediately stopped, and instead of looking in the direction that Du Zhengyi was looking at, they all looked at Du Zhengyi. Yan Hao's nerves were so tense that he boldly released a large dose of detection magic. Du Zhengyi suddenly looked back at him, and he was stunned.
"Are you going to be noticed first?" Du Zhengyi asked.
Yan Hao stood up straight, blinking nervously, at a loss.
Du Zheng turned his gaze away, "Compress your own magic defense, there are people on the side of the mountain." Agility is at the front, other magic types are kept at a distance of ten meters, and the doctor you stand in the middle of the back team. ”
With that, he walked forward. Yan Hao immediately followed, and was surprised to find that Master Xiang Qian actually walked to the back team. The other mages of the previous team actually kept a distance of one meter from Du Zhengyi, and only Yan Hao was inserted in the middle of one meter, which seemed to be not particularly ugly.
Yan Hao nervously observed Du Zhengyi, he had long given up self-detection and changed the observation method to visually inspect the muscle lines of Du Zhengyi's back. When Du Zhengyi stopped suddenly, he was so frightened that he almost released a fireball. But then Du Zhengyi suddenly ran up, he hurriedly followed, and his spirits became high, and he heard Du Zhengyi scolding a swear word. His ears heard more sounds, the footsteps of the other party, the rubbing of the zipper of his clothes, the sound of heavy breathing. There are several people on the other side, and now the distance is so close that both sides have already discovered each other, and there is no need to hide anymore, he secretly gathered the strength in his right hand, ready to attack.
A protruding rock blocked their view, and Yan Hao's heart beat wildly, as long as they bypassed the rock, they were almost face to face. The moment he caught the fire happened between a breath, he suddenly released the power of his right hand, and at the same time saw Du Zhengyi suddenly pull the person opposite, as if he was too annoyed to wave his left hand. A force shield then appeared silently in the air, and Yan Hao screamed, and was knocked to the ground by the force field that bounced back.
At this moment, he began to understand why the other mages insisted on being one meter away.
On the other hand, he saw Du Zhengyi grabbing an oncoming cub and pushing him against the rock. The kid must have kowtowed his head and yelled "wow", very squeamish. But this is not an attitude towards the enemy, although Du Zhengyi's anger is burning, it seems that he really has a deep hatred.
