The druid's mutated bear-like monster swooped down like a black wind, and with a flick of his left palm, he swung off three self-attacking chain hammers. His right palm was like a heavy axe, and it slashed into Zakvi's right arm. Between the lightning and flint, a pair of forearms turned into a pair of thick mallets that danced wildly, and slammed into the gnoll's head, shoulders, waist, and ribs like a raging wind. Rao is that its body is hard into the stone, and it was also beaten with blood spraying blood from its mouth and nose, and its shoulder and arm were fractured. The three-headed flail in his hand finally fell off his hand.
Once the three-headed flail was taken off, the druid's heart was overjoyed. Without this flail, see what it can resist!
Immediately, his body fell, and he once again performed the "bear pounce" technique, his body was like a rolling stone pressing forward, his arm was like a hammer, and he hit the jackal's chest.
The huge gnoll howled miserably, the sternum of the blow was shattered, the heart was torn, and the remaining left arm in a hurry clawed the druid's arm, and a strange force hit the druid's body wave after wave like a surging tide.
"Fatal damage?!" the druid was surprised in his heart, this power was clearly a fourth-order divine skill "fatal damage", which could directly kill and injure the enemy by contact. Originally, it wasn't a miracle move, but under normal circumstances, there was only one wave of damage, and this time the damaging power actually came one after another, which was equivalent to casting a few spells in an instant! This is a skill that has not been introduced in those books! If it weren't for the recovery of his own Xuan Gong, he might have to suffer a big loss.
This gnoll is quite eccentric, starting with a strange form of fire strike, and now an inexplicable burst of lethal damage. This is a living sample to study the composition and evolution of spells in this world!
Overjoyed, he knocked the gnoll to the ground with a slam hammer, and the middle finger of his right claw suddenly doubled in thickness, and the tip of the claw was like a big cone, piercing the back of the gnoll's head.
The sharp claws "clicked" straight into the brain, and the gnoll was trampled to the ground unable to move, and the strange howl continued.
A strange force swarmed inside it like a swarm of locusts, raging everywhere and pervasively. Every muscle, every bone marrow is being scavenged. What frightened it even more was that this power had begun to affect the realm of the soul, probing the mystery of its connection with the gods!
Death is not a big deal for many intelligent beings in this world, because after death they can go to the longed-for kingdom of God to receive eternal life. And what they fear most is the detention and destruction of their souls, which is the real despair. And now the power of the druids is "rushing" into the depths of the soul, probing around for something. The Supreme God Jerusu roared in anger, trying to stop the force.
This is Zackwi's last consciousness in the world.
The druid's transformed bear-like monster pulled out its brain-stained claws, and its green light appeared on its body, and it changed back into human form.
The ferocious wolves of Purgatory were also stabbed to death by the soldiers, and the gnolls were wiped out. Only three of the stubby dryers remained, and the rest were either beaten to sawdust or burned to ashes. A miserable sight of charcoal on the snow, littered with blood, corpses, broken wood and black ash.
Fortunately, none of the human soldiers died, although a few of them were not lightly injured, but as long as they were treated with spells in time, it was not a big deal. In this way, it can be called a "big victory".
As Grimm ran over with excitement on his face, the druid muttered to himself in contemplation of Nannan, "I see, so it isβ"
"Master, Master," Grimm laughed and woke up the druid, "What's the matter with that wooden card you just used? I think it seems to have stored a lot of 'dismantling magic', is it the result of you modifying the 'Stored Staff'?"
The druid pulled out a wooden card and asked, "Are you talking about this?" and when Grimm nodded, he then smiled, "This is not something to store spells." Look at the runes above, this kind of rune has now been refined by me, and it can no longer be called runes, but should be called 'runes'. β
"Sigils?" Grimm had heard of for the first time.
The druid nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, the so-called seal originally refers to the seal that represents power. In the case of our arcane druids, it means that the rune has entered an advanced stage and can cooperate with the refiner to issue the corresponding spell. And there's no need to prepare spells beforehand, just use our secret magic to urge them to cast them when necessary. This process is similar to what you call a psychic warlock, except that they use purely their own psychic powers, and we need to use 'sigils' to cooperate. And refining runes to this advanced stage is called 'refining runes into seals'. β
Grimm sighed, "This rune looks very simple, but it has such an effect, how many 'secret arts' do you have in your secret arts?" However, in the eyes of others, the druid, who deals with wild beasts and wood all day long, is so proficient in playing with women, which is really surprising.
"Simple?" The druid seemed to understand his "meaning", and said with a smile: "This sigil is the simplest, don't look at the simple appearance, it takes a lot of energy to make it." It took me nearly 2 years to refine this one sigil!"
The soldiers were busy in the snow, dragging the gnolls together. Their faces were full of excited expressions and heart-to-mouth laughter. The wolf skins were peeled away, revealing bright red flesh and white bones. The soldiers stood on the bloody red snow and laughed happily, today they can finally eat large pieces of meat!
After the druid turned the remaining three dryads back into sticks, he was sitting on a boulder, his eyes closed. Le Lin walked over slowly and asked softly, "Master, can you disturb me?"
The druid still closed his eyes and said unhurriedly, "What's the matter?"
Lelin told him about the situation when she fought against Zackvi the Gnoll just now, and asked, "I guess the reason why I was able to avoid the attack of the chain hammer is also because of your spell blessing." In addition to the Bear's Tenacity, the Ox's Strength, and the Owl's Insight, you seem to have cast two spells, are they their effects? β
The druid said slowly, "Those two spells, one is 'Snake Strike' and the other is 'Luck', both are druid spells that are about to be lost. I learned it a lot. The snake strike technique is mainly to speed up people's reactions, and can react to the enemy's actions in the shortest possible time. β
"As for luck, it is just to put people in the best mental state, and to be able to exert their own abilities at a higher level. To put it bluntly, it's not a big deal. β
"But I've never learned that kind of unloading technique, so how can I talk about playing at a super level?" Le Lin said urgently.
The druid pondered for a moment and said, "I think it should be the effect of the interaction of 'Owl's Insight', 'Snake Strike', and 'Luck'. Owl's Insight improves your senses and allows you to see the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent's attacks. Luck speeds up your instinctive thinking skills, so your mind can make the best choice in an instant. In addition, the snake strike technique improves your reflexes and adjusts your body in the shortest possible time. Therefore, you can unleash its attack power without a teacher. β
Le Lin was still puzzled: "But my mind didn't think at all at that moment! β
Druid laughed: "That's because you don't understand your own mind, what people call 'consciousness' and 'thinking' are actually very superficial things, and below this surface is the 'core thinking' that determines our will." But these core ideas are something you can't feel. Because the 'thinking' that we usually feel is actually just the result of the 'core thinking' after processing, and it is only a part of the result, but we mistakenly think of this part of the result as 'I am thinking', and the result is the result. Luck reinforces the 'core mindset', which enables people to make the right choices in the shortest possible time and in the most complex situations. The average person doesn't know that this is actually a manifestation of their own potential, but mistakenly thinks that they have made the right choice because of their 'luck'. That's why this spell was named 'Lucky'. In fact, it has nothing to do with luck, it just puts people's spirits in the best state, thus stimulating people's potential. β
The night in the wilderness was particularly cold, but after the soldiers set up their tents, they laughed warmly around the campfire, and ate meat and gnawed bones, not even letting go of a trace of tendons.
The corpses of a dozen gnolls fell from the wooden shelves, and a few of them were left with only tendons and bones that fell there, and for some reason, this reminded Lelin of the execution of traitors by the Drows, who would dump their own people on a crossbar, cut off their purple-black skin one by one to make ornaments, and even made beautiful handbags and lampshades for the noblewoman Drow. The hapless traitors were abandoned on the beams, wailing to death. Sometimes, the terrible howl can be heard in every corner of Casca City.
Le Lin sighed and put down the "wolf meat" in her hand, she was really hard to swallow.
A soldier ran up to the druid and said with gratitude, "Master, the gnolls' brains have been cooked, please come and eat." β
"Hmm" The druid replied lightly, and finally recovered from the state of "closing his eyes and recuperating", followed the soldier to a small pot, smiled and began to "drink soup".
A strong fragrance filled the air, and the soldiers around looked enviously, but no one dared to come, because the meal was hierarchical. The lower person should not stay with the higher person to eat together. Therefore, except for Lelin, who was a slave girl, stayed with the druids, everyone else stayed at a distance and ate their share of meat. And the "acting lord" Grimm was very uncomfortable with this brain soup and ran away early.
The druid was smiling and eating with relish, not smacking his mouth a few times, as if he was very nostalgic for the taste.
Le Lin watched her brain loom at the corner of her mouth, only to feel a chill and pin her head to the side.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" asked the druid calmly, "I see that you have been taking the meat in your hand for a long time, but you haven't eaten a bite." Don't you think that's too cruel?"
Le Lin calmed down and said, "It's nothing, I just don't think the taste of the meat is good." After saying that, he barely took a small bite.
The druid chuckled and said, "You're too weak. In this world, either you eat people, or people eat you. Too much sentimentality doesn't do you any good. β
"I'm not weak!" argued Lelin, "I just think it's so sad to kill and devour each other like this." β
"Pathetic?" said the druids with a sneering look on their faces, "You think that because of your weakness. I found out during the day when you were fighting the first gnoll. You don't even have the courage to do it in the face of the breath of the gods, so that the gnolls have the opportunity to cast a spell. If I hadn't activated the sigil on the wooden card in time to disarm the magic, you would have been in danger. β
Le Lin was a little angry in her heart: "Please don't involve the gods! I hate those evil gods, but gods are gods, and I think everyone will have a basic fear of gods." I only paused for a moment because of this awe. β
The druid laughed and said, "Then why did you do it again?"
Le Lin said angrily: "That's the necklace you gave me that played a role, counteracting the influence of the Divine Domain Technique!"
The druid laughed: "The necklace I gave you is actually a sigil, it only has the effect of healing and calming the mind, and it will not fight against other spells, so how can it help you counteract the Divine Domain Technique?"
Le Lin almost wanted to glance at him: "The Divine Domain Technique affects the will, isn't settling the mind strengthening my will?"
"So, did the fear of God disappear when you made your move?" asked the druid.
Le Lin was stunned, when she shot again, that fear of God really didn't disappear. To be precise, her consciousness seemed to have become two at that time, and one was still extremely in awe of the gods and tried her best to prevent her from doing it. The other, on the other hand, was undaunted and took charge of his actions.
"The sigil on the necklace doesn't fight against any spell," the druid said slowly, "it only helps you see your own mind." It will not remove the effect of your Divine Domain on your consciousness, but it will allow you to see how your consciousness is disturbed. So in the end, you make another move, and that's your own choice. Fear weakens you, but when fear no longer has dominion over you, you stab you with a sword. β
Le Lin asked a little unconvinced: "What does this have to do with whether I eat meat or not?"
The druid sighed and said, "Because awe is actually a kind of fear, and your current 'unbearableness' is actually a kind of fear. You're afraid that you're going to end up like this in the future! Because of this fear, you instinctively avoid eating meat. To put it bluntly, you are afraid that one day others will eat your flesh!"
Lelin stood up abruptly and said, "I don't know what you're talking about! β
As soon as she turned around, she turned back and said, "Also, I don't think the fear of the gods is a fear. β
The next day, when Le Lin walked out of her small tent, a dozen or so soldiers were gathered together, teasing a badger with a face as big as a dog.
"This is the badger from there, it's so big. Lelin stepped forward and asked.
A large, black-faced soldier with a big axe fed the badger to gnaw bones and said, "It's Badbey, Master Donghezi's animal companion." Haven't you seen it before? It's been watching the gnolls these days, so we can find them easily. β
Lelin was taken aback, and along the way, the druid always said, "How is Badbey." She thought it was a human scout. Who knew it was such a big badger. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen the badger ever since she came to the druid, and it seemed that it had been following the gnolls. This is also understandable, if it were a human scout to follow him, not to mention that he could not find food in this wilderness, with the keen sense of smell of the jackal, he would have been discovered long ago.
From time to time, however, the druids said, "Badbay has found something." "He was so far away from the badger at that time, so how did he know what the badger had found?
Le Lin secretly said in her heart: "Secret Druid, how many secret techniques do you have?"
After returning to the city.
"I'm going to be your student, and I'm going to be a secret druid!" said the little kid, Bob Firth, running into the hall with a dusty face.
"Why do you have such an idea?" asked the druid with interest.
"When you came back, everyone was talking about fighting the gnolls. The baron's nephew bragged to everyone in the town about his spells. I've heard from my father that you're the one who really helps. Said that at that time, you were majestic, and you became a giant bear who singled out the leader of the gnolls, and slapped it to death with two slaps! I think this leader ruled over more than 100 gnolls back then, and he only dared to shrink the soldiers of our town in the city. It turned out to be as useless as a scarecrow in front of you, and I want to be as majestic as you!"
The druids smiled and said, "They're exaggerating too." Grimm did help. It's hard to be a druid, and it's even harder to be our secret druid. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. He motioned for Lorin to fetch a basin of water to wash Bob Feather's hands. The druid once told Lelin that before buying her as a slave girl, this Bob Firth often came to his stone castle to help grow herbs, and was very interested in the effects of various medicines, and the druid also taught him a lot of knowledge. It seems that this kid has not wanted to be a druid for a day or two.
"I'm not afraid of hardship. Bob Fez, washing his dirty hands, said, "In our place, sheep herding is the hardest part. Every day, before the sun came out, my father drove me out to herd the sheep, and I couldn't go home until the sun went down. When I'm thirsty, I can't even drink saliva, and sometimes I don't have anything to eat all day, so I can only pluck some wild vegetables to fill my stomach. I've long been accustomed to life in the wild. You can take me as a student. β
The druid's expression suddenly became stern: "When I say hardship, I don't mean physical hardship, but also inner hardship. This kind of hard work is not something that ordinary people can experience. And it's a very important thing for our secret druids to accept people as students, and I can't pay attention to it for a while, so let me think about it for a few days and then give you a reply. β
