When the young man's figure stood in front of Harry Guns and the others again, his eyes were already full of awe.

That's the last thing Huey wants.

"If I could, I'd rather tell you who I am in another way, but I don't have to explain anything for now. He said.

Harry Gearns shrugged, "You saved our lives. ”

"Not for everyone. Xiu Yi sighed with emotion.

"You've done your best, and we can all understand. Harry Guns sighed. Originally, he wanted to make a fortune by hunting the Vajra rhino, but as a result, the group suffered heavy losses, and in the end, there were only four of the eight people left, and it was already luck to be alive.

He wasn't worried that Xiu Yi would kill them, if that was the case, Xiu Yi would just choose to do nothing. But he was still curious and said, "In the propaganda of the Empire, you are a bastard who does all kinds of evil. ”

"For them, that's not excessive publicity. It's like in the eyes of Vajra, you're bastards. Huey's answer stunned everyone.

For the Vajra rhinos, they used to live in this land without worry, but the appearance of human beings has greatly reduced their living space. Even so, humans will not give up hunting, exploiting, and ignoring their suffering.

For the vast majority of Warcraft, humans are heinous demons.

It's a pity that they don't know how to unite, cooperate and create, otherwise maybe the Warcraft would have kicked humans out of this world long ago.

Udick walked over: "Thank you, Ann...... I guess I should call you Hugh Igler. So what's next?"

As it stands, Harry Gunns has been seriously injured, and Huey has become the undisputed leader, though apparently he has no interest in leading a Warcraft team.

Xiu Yi replied, "This place is a bit strange, and the strength of the Vajra rhino seems to be influenced by some kind of force. My Pet ...... Oh, it's back. ”

In the jungle, Xu came to Xiu Yi's side listlessly, he had already transformed into a little boy and got into Xiu Yi's arms: "Father, I'm ashamed, I've lost my mother's face, and I've even lost the face of our Abyss Demon Dragon Clan." ”

"It's a good thing for you to know that racial superiority isn't the only capital you can rely on. ”

"I'll work hard to cultivate. ”

"It's okay, you're still a child, it's in your nature to be greedy and playful. ”

"It doesn't sound comforting at all. Asahi pouted.

This meeting surprised Harry and the others, and pointed to the little guy: "It's ......"

"He's the demon dragon just now. Huey replied.

"It called you father?" Carmela couldn't believe it.

This made Xiu Yi very helpless: "His mother and I are innocent...... Forget it, we don't explain this, this matter is still a secret to the Empire, and the power I have exposed, the Empire only knows the Black Samurai and the Blazing Bird. I don't want to hear later that Asahi is a demon dragon...... This is not a request. ”

"We understand, rest assured that we won't say anything about you. Harry Gearns replied immediately.

Huey's previous words were undoubtedly a reminder to them that if this matter leaked out, then they would become Xiuyi's enemies.

And Xiue's attitude towards the enemy is like the rumors of the empire: do no evil.

The Warcraft team's hunting plan has failed, and Xiu Yi has learned enough from this team, and his identity has been revealed, so there is really no need to linger any longer.

Nodding to the Black Knight, the Black Warrior whistled, and the figure of the Undead Demon Rat rose to the ground.

"Carmela, you and Harry sit on the demon rat, Udick, you can only run. I'll give Harry your temporary command of the Demon Rat, and it should help you get out of the Land of Divine Grace. ”

"And what about you, Huey?" asked Carmela, who had lost so much blood that she was able to speak stiffly.

Xiu Yi looked back at the direction in which the dragon rhino disappeared and said, "This place is a little strange, I'm going to investigate and see what caused all this." Maybe that Vajra rhino can help me find out. ”

"I know we're too weak to be able to help, but tracking a big rhinoceros, Hue Igler, I'm an expert," Harry Guns said. ”

Xiu Yiweileng: "But you are seriously injured. ”

"Can't die. Carmella replied coldly: "I also want to know what caused us to suffer such a fate." ”

Huey looked at Udick again, and the boy, who was about his age, muttered, "You all go, and I will go too." As long as I don't think I'm burdensome. ”

"Nope. Xiu Yi shook his head: "The courage you just showed is very admirable. ”

He was referring to the fact that Udick didn't want to leave him alone to escape.

Udick smiled a little sheepishly.

"In that case, let's follow that Vajra rhino and see what is strange in this canyon. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The place where the King Kong rhinoceros walked was like the road that a tank had pressed on, and the traces were clearly visible, and even without Harry Guns leading the way, Xiue could find the footprints of the big guy. In fact, the degree of the Vajra rhinoceros is not fast, and in the case of its non-combat, the degree of its walking can even be described as a turtle.

The dying Vajra rhino did not choose to return to its former colony, and proceeded directly along a path deep in the canyon.

The road is very remote, stretching all the way beyond the canyon, and at the same time passing through the territory of many magical beasts one after another. Everyone carefully traveled all the way through the area where these demonic beasts were located, followed the Vajra rhino to a mountain wall, and then lost the trace of the Vajra rhino.

"It's strange that its footprints are gone here?" Harry Gearns said, observing the ground, "There must be a secret passage around here." ”

Xiu Yi frowned: "It's not that simple, I feel the breath of magic." There's a magic circle in operation around here. ”

"Magic Circle?" Harry and Carmella were both taken aback.

Instead, Udick nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I feel it too, but the power of this magic is strange, and I can't be sure of it." ”

Xiui glanced at Udick in surprise, with Udick's ability, there was no reason to feel the reason for the existence of this power.

Probably sensing Xiuyi's doubts, Udick replied with a little blush: "My elemental affinity is average, but my sensing ability is okay, of course it can't be compared to you." ”

"You are not humble, strength and talent are not a concept. You mean, you have a strong sense of magic?"

"Sort of. ”

"Then why not be a prophet or an alchemist?" said Xiu Yi was a little strange.

There are also many kinds of magical talents, combat mages have the highest requirements for elemental affinity, some non-combat mages need better elemental control, and as for those with strong elemental perception, the most suitable for learning should be prophecy spells. Prophecy spells are very demanding in terms of magic sensing, as they do not need to manipulate and use magic, but only need to sense events that have already been generated from the surrounding elements. And there are some elements that have a strong sense of what may happen in the future, and once they can sense it, they will form prophecy. In addition, the elemental sensing ability is also very helpful for alchemy, after all, alchemists use items to create magic items, and the elemental sensing ability can help them quickly judge the properties of materials, so as to better wield them.

In response to Xiuyi's question, Udick smiled helplessly: "Not everyone's talent can be waved in the right way. I didn't come from a good background, I was lucky to be taught by a nature mage, and it was a great thing for me to be able to learn magic. My tutor is not a very capable person, but the fees are cheaper than others, but despite this, the tuition fee is still the biggest burden on the family, and I still have the right to choose. Not to mention, low-level prophecy is of little value, and I desperately need to earn money as soon as possible to repay my parents. As for alchemy...... You know it's going to take more money to support it, and I can't even think about it. ”

"That's why you're with Harry and they're here? You need money, a lot of money. ”

Udick bowed his head and did not answer.

If you want to become a magician, you must not only have talent, but also have strong financial support. Magicians are not synonymous with generosity, and their abilities require students to pay enough to learn.

Whether it's the Arcane Tower or the Academy of Magic, they are more concerned with the interests of the mage than the apprentice. As for Hue Igler, it must be said that he was lucky. At the beginning of Purgatory Island, he was taught by the red-robed ** master Cross and took him into the mysterious magic hall, but he was not charged a fee for this.

"If you want, I can teach you later, including the alchemy you want to learn. Huey said suddenly.

"You...... What are you talking about?" Udick couldn't believe his ears, Huy Glaire was going to teach him magic?

"I'm afraid you don't dare to learn. Huey laughed.

"There's nothing I don't dare. My parents have already put too much effort into me, and I don't want to drag them down anymore. I studied with my mentor for three years, but he only taught me a limited number of spells. If this continues, maybe becoming a junior mage is already my limit. In his words, I only paid enough money to learn these things...... This bastard is like a merchant who sells the cheapest spells to a large number of people in batches and then gives them the title of magic apprentice, and under his teaching, it is too difficult to become a full-fledged magician. ”

"I see...... Then you have to think clearly, if you choose to follow me, the consequence is that you will probably not be able to return to your parents, otherwise they will be dragged down...... I have a lot of enemies, and all of them are very strong. ”

β€œ...... So, can I sneak in and see them?" asked Udik. When he heard that he was going to leave his parents, Udick was a little reluctant.

Xiu Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, you can choose to follow me under a pseudonym, and occasionally you can visit your parents." You can even return to your parents with honor someday in the future. ”

"You don't restrict my freedom?"

"As long as you don't do anything that hurts me, you're free. ”

"I know what to do and what not to do. Udick replied confidently.

He bowed solemnly to Hue, "Udik salutes you, Mentor. ”

Huey unceremoniously accepted the title, and although he was about the same age as Udick, psychologically, he was already an adult.

During the battle with the Raging Dragon, Hue saw some good qualities in Udick. Although he is still somewhat timid, it is very normal for a young man who has never experienced blood to be afraid of danger. This magic apprentice has a strong sense of elemental sensing, even similar to Xiu Yi, who is a fourth-level wind mage, and if he cultivates it well, he may be an outstanding talent in the future.

"So now tell me, in which direction is the magical aura in this neighborhood?" Huey asked his new student.

"Over there. "The cliff in front of Udic's finger.

It looks like there's no way out.

"Absolutely. Xiu Yi replied with a smile, a handful of gold dust already appeared in his hand: "This is enchanted powder, and it has a strong affinity for magical energy. They can be used to find circles that are invisible to the naked eye. ”

With that, Hue spilled the enchantment powder.

In the flash of golden light, a strange magic array pattern appeared on the opposite mountain wall.

Xiu Yi walked over and looked at it carefully for a while before he affirmed, "This is a very old magic circle, I have never seen it. ”

"How old?"

"At least a thousand years. Xiu Yi replied affirmatively: "Because it has almost stopped working, and the reason why it has not completely dissipated is because this circle is supported by some kind of energy, which is not here, but through it, it has spread to this area, so that a powerful magical energy has appeared in this area." This energy affected Asahi's transformation, and also allowed Vajra to control the revival of the bloodline on its own. But it takes not only energy to sustain such a long period of time, but also materials that can stand the test of time over a long period of time. Look at this, the eyes of the polar ice wolf, it only takes an extremely long time to make an ice bead weather like this, almost useless, and it is very difficult to identify it. ”

"But the history of human alchemy is only about a thousand years. Harry was shocked.

"It's the history of alchemy, not the history of magical substitution. Perhaps there were people who appeared and understood alchemy thousands of years ago, but they may not have called it that, and they have no interest in spreading and promoting it. Xiu Yi said lightly: "...... Perhaps they know that the consequence of doing so is a great scramble for the world's resources. ”

"What does this magic array have to do with the disappearance of the vajra rhino?"

"It has a lot to do with it...... Xiu Yi said slowly, "even though I've never seen this circle, that doesn't prevent me from knowing what it is. It's like when people grow up, their appearance will change, but they will always retain some of the outlines of their childhood. It's funny, I look at it like I'm seeing an old friend. If I'm guessing correctly, then ...... This should be a teleportation circle. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

No matter how things change, the core doesn't change.

It's like China and the United States will make it**, although the manufacturing process is different, but they are all researched and manufactured using the principle of nuclear fission.

If a Chinese ** is placed in front of the eyes of an American scientist, there is absolutely no reason why he should not recognize what it is.

Wind Singing Big 6 is now the only one who can make a teleportation circle, but that doesn't mean that no one can do it before.

It's just that Xiu Yi didn't expect that he would appear in front of the cliff of this valley, and there would be such an existence of a teleportation circle.

It's so old, but it's amazing how it's still functioning, albeit inefficient, but still alive and well.

After careful examination, Xiu Yi concluded: "This is a short-range magic circle, and its function is not to send people thousands of miles away, but to ......"

"Send into somewhere there is no door. Harry Guns interjected.

Huey laughed.

Yes, it must be so.

"I don't know what we're going to face when we go inside, maybe it's terrible danger, maybe it's endless treasure, and though we hope it's the latter, we can't deny that the former is more likely. I've decided that I'm going to go this way, and as for you, you can make your own decisions. But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to protect you once I'm inside. ”

Harry Gearns raised his lion-like head: "Danger is never something that Monster hunters will run away from, poverty is. ”

Carmela didn't say anything, only expressed her determination with a determined look.

As for Udick, he bowed his head and said, "It is the responsibility of every student to follow in the footsteps of their mentors. ”

No more nonsense, Xiu Yi activated the circle.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

It was a desolate and desolate plain, with a purple-black land that was almost barren and full of white bones. As far as the eye can see, the whole plain is like a world of bones, full of the sorrow of death.

Not a single living creature can be seen.

The gray sky didn't even have sunlight.

Huey and the others were standing on top of a large pile of bones that looked like the skulls of some kind of rodent, piled up into a small mountain, and looked hideous and terrifying.

Harry Gearns accidentally landed a little heavier, kicked a skull down, causing a large chain reaction, and the mountain of bones collapsed, and everyone also rolled down from the mountain of bones, and in a blink of an eye, they were submerged by a large group of bones.

"Oh my God, where have we been?" exclaimed Harry Gearns.

He crawled out of the pile of bones in a rage, with a skull on top of his head, as if he were wearing a bone helmet.

I never dreamed that they would come to such a ghostly world, where the difference between reality and dreams is often so far away.

Udick couldn't help but ask, "Is this hell?"

"No, it's a graveyard, a graveyard that belongs to Warcraft. Damn it, I should have thought of it. Where will a dying Vajra rhino end up going?

"It's impossible for a Warcraft to make a magic array. Carmella reminded Huey.

"I know that this place should have been inadvertently revealed by the demonic beasts of the Land of Divine Grace, and chosen as their final destination. Only dying beasts will enter here......" Xiu Yi said, shaking his head.

"And what was this place before?" asked Carmela.

"That's exactly what we need to know. ”

With that, Hue emerged from the pile of bones and stood on the wilderness land.

He bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground. The purple-black soil emitted a strange glow in Xiuyi's palm, which deeply attracted Xiuyi's eyeballs.

He leaned in and sniffed the dirt, frowning slightly, and then he made a gesture that shocked everyoneβ€”he stuck out his tongue and licked the dirt, feeling the taste of it.

Harry almost threw up: "Oh, Huyglare, I didn't expect you to have such a perverted hobby, there are countless dead bodies buried here!"

Huey ignored Harry's complaints, he closed his eyes as if immersed in the "deliciousness" of the earth, and after a moment of tasting it, he spat and said, "Udic, you can taste it." ”

"Me?" asked Udick, pale.

Xiu Yi nodded seriously: "If you want to become an excellent alchemist, the talent of elemental sensing alone is not enough. A strong desire to learn and curiosity are indispensable and important qualities, and the great spirit of sacrifice determines the size of your future achievements. If you can't sacrifice enough for the cause you desire, you're doomed to be limited. ”

"Yes, Mentor!" Udick immediately became serious.

He knew it was his chance, and he wouldn't give it up no matter what.

Walking briskly, he grabbed a handful of purple and black dirt from Xiuyi's hand and put it in his mouth to taste it, and then a strange look appeared on his face.

"What do you feel?" Huey asked him.

"Magic!" replied Udicxun, "This land has a legacy of powerful magic, and it is a very powerful kind. Its power makes the soil rich in metals, so it is impossible to grow any plants at all except for a few metal-loving plants. ”

"What kind of magic can cause this?" Huey continued.

Udick shook his head blankly.

Xiu Yi pointed to the empty land around him: "I don't know what kind of magic can cause such a consequence, at least I've never heard of it, but I know that this magic covers an area that is even wider than our field of vision, and it has more power than humans can have." ”

"Oh my God!" said Harry Gearns the most today.

Only then did he realize what Xiu Yi meant.

It is unimaginable what kind of power it would take to turn such a vast land into such a result.

"Here...... It's a cursed land, and it's an abandoned land. Xiu Yi let out a long sigh.

An abandoned land, and everyone was horrified.

"I've never heard of such a place in the third year of the wind ringing 6. Harry Gearns replied with a solemn expression.

Xiu Yi's face was expressionless: "I haven't heard of it either, and that's the crux of the matter." Why has no one ever been present in such a vast area?"

"Maybe it's not in our world. Udick blurted out. The remark made Harry and Carmelazzi change color. If that's the case, then even if Xiu Igler is there, even if he can make a teleportation circle, I'm afraid they won't be able to go back to the original world.

Traveling through different planes, what is needed is a spatial gate, which is not a matter of making a teleportation circle.

Fortunately, Huey quickly denied this: "No, I'm sure we're still in our world, not anywhere else. ”

"How do you know?" asked Carmela.

"Because we were teleported in by the teleportation circle. Huey's answer left everyone speechless.

That's right, since you can use the teleportation circle to teleport in, it means that this can only be the same dimensional world, and it can't be a place like the Demon Realm or the Abyss. But in that case, why is no one able to show up here?

This place is so big, it is simply not something that a place of divine grace can hide.

"Maybe we're not in the land of charisma at all. Huey said to himself.

"Not true. Carmela suddenly said, "What about the Vajra rhino? Why can't you see the Vajra rhino here? Shouldn't it have been sent in by the teleportation circle?"

This question stunned everyone.

Xiu Yi's brows furrowed slightly: "That teleportation circle is a one-way teleportation circle, it should be a random teleportation in a fixed area, so Vajra will not appear in the same place as us, the problem is that we don't have it in our field of vision at all, which means that this place is much bigger than we imagined." ”

"So what are we going to do? It doesn't mean anything to us. Harry was dumbfounded.

This area is so large, but it is a desolate and barren land, no plants grow in the soil, and naturally there will be no living magical beasts. They found nothing but corpses.

But Huey seemed to be in high spirits, for the land was not entirely meaningless to him. These soils are rich in a large amount of metals, which also contain some special metals. Although the content is very low, it does not support the entire plain to be like this. As long as it is refined, it can provide some special metal resources for Xiuyi.

The Vajra rhino is a mineral-loving beast, so it's no wonder they choose such a place as their final place of death. For them, it's a paradise.

In addition, the wasteland is not really devoid of grass, there are some special metal-sucking plants that still grow, they are extremely rare in the Wind Roaring Large6, and they have become the only owners here.

"A good alchemist has eyes that can show value, at least not for nothing here. Xiu Yi smiled: "What's more, there can't be nothing here." Remember the energy that supported the circle? I could sense its presence, as if some kind of power was calling out to me and guiding me......"

The crowd looked at each other.

"You mean...... What else is here?" Harry asked cautiously, "some kind of presence with a huge amount of magical energy?"

"Maybe it's also the existence that makes this land so barren and at the same time unknown. ”

A chill rose in everyone's hearts.

After saying this, Xiu Yi got up and went on the road. Behind him is the black warrior who has always followed silently, and he is still carrying Asahi who has fallen asleep.

"It was a really bad day. Harry muttered, and then he yelled, "Hey, wait for me." ”

The group followed in Huey's footsteps.
