Chapter 4: Light Snow
1.
Is the battle over?
The expected pain did not materialize. Romance debuts
Zero slowly opened his eyes and found himself still standing in place, from the Wind Blade to the present, but for a few seconds, Zero felt like a minute or two was long.
When the wind blade came in front of him, Zero closed his eyes and subconsciously used the weapon in his hand to block. Now it seemed as if the fierce and incomparably sharp saw blade had disappeared into thin air.
Just because Zero didn't see the whole process of what happened doesn't mean that others didn't see it either. When the sharp wind blade was about to come into contact with the iron knife in Zero's hand, the technique immediately disintegrated, turning into the most peaceful and natural element, and disappeared with the wind. It's not broken up, it's not canceled, it's completely back to nature. As a fine magician, Lelia was stunned by this phenomenon. To calm the restless element, at least reach the level of a magician, and if you want to directly cancel out a magic with such a great power, Lelia thinks that only a level 9 archmage can do it. Zero was just a level 2 assassin, and there was no reason why the Snow Wind Wolf's magic could be wiped out so cleanly.
But the girl in front of her did indeed complete this miracle.
That wind blade was obviously prepared by the Snow Wind Wolf, who was the wolf king, for a long time before activating it. Unlike the "Water Dragon Wave", there is a powerful level 6 monomer wind magic here, the Rotating Energy Sword. The wolf king, who was protected by layers, aimed at the mage in the team from the beginning, trying to give him a fatal blow, and the moment just now was the best opportunity, but he didn't expect to be cracked so easily. The wolf king began to be afraid of the silver-haired girl with a short knife, and motioned for the wolves to all retreat and stand by in place.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time tightened the formation and leaned back to back.
"Twin Precepts?......" Lelia asked Zero with a confused look.
Twin precepts? What the hell is this? Zero is a little confused.
Instead, it was Leonard who answered for Zero.
"No way. That kind of legendary weapon, even whether it exists is very doubtful. That is a storage that can even be erased by the forbidden spell, if anyone has seen it, then the strong people of all countries will definitely fight for it, and it is impossible to fall into her hands. Leonard's tone was very affirmative, it was a weapon that was one level higher than his family heirloom "Brilliant Weapon". But the facts in front of him also made him have a trace of doubts, there are many weapons to break demons, but there are very few weapons that can destroy a level 6 magic in this way, this knife must have its unusual origin.
"Hey, now is not the time to talk about that. Karl's words reminded everyone that they were still in the current situation of a great enemy.
"Zero, you are standing in front of us, and it can be seen that you are the most feared by the Snow Wind Wolf at the moment. Ahlers had an idea, and Zero felt that it was doable, at least the wolves' attacks wouldn't cause him any real damage.
[They don't move, do they want to spend it with us like this?] Ai Xue also began to worry, [Why do they want to trouble us?]
[Probably because we invaded their territory.] Zero replied without thinking. For the vast majority of Warcraft, this is a valid reason.
[But this is not our destination, we are just passing through. These wolves are intelligent creatures, and it's impossible for them not to see the strength of our team when we've come all the way. Even if you put together the reason why we have to stay here if we are completely wiped out, it will definitely not be so simple. Ai Xue began to affirm her thoughts, there must be something wrong with this.
[Makes sense.] Zero began to think about it along Ai Xue's path.
There is a reason for everything, for the wolves, there must be a reason to kill Ai Xue and the others, otherwise they will not risk total annihilation to launch a general attack on this super human team.
[If we did anything before we met the wolves...... It can't be because of that...... That's!] An idea popped into Zero's head.
"Lelia, did you say before that 'saliva beasts like to run on the territory of powerful monsters'?"
"Yes, yes! Could it be—" Lylia suddenly realized.
"That's it! The Saliva Beast appeared in this area, and this is the territory of the wolves. The saliva beast has disappeared here, and of course the wolves have to take on the responsibility. Even if you can't find the saliva beast, you have to leave the human who captured the saliva beast here forever!" Zero said his analysis in one breath.
"What a mistake! In order to experience the real experience, I asked Ai Xue to put away the saliva beast, but I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble. Ahlers said helplessly.
Although the wolves have lost more than half of them, the bodies of Leonard and the others have also begun to bottom out, the velociraptor and the flame bird no longer participate in the battle, Lelia can no longer use magic, and the snow wind wolf should still have a lot of strength, the victory or defeat has already been known, and it is only a matter of time before the defeat continues.
"Let the saliva beast come out, and it's best to have it explain it to the wolves in person. "Everyone pinned their hopes on Ai Xue, after all, the cause of the incident was only a zero guess, and if the guess was wrong, it was obvious that everyone would pay a terrible price for this act.
[Come out, Xiaobai!]
The method of summoning the contract beast is very simple, just call in your heart. The flash of the magic array illuminated the forest in the night, and the figure of the saliva beast appeared in front of everyone again. Its melancholy eyes and leisurely steps that have not changed for thousands of years are also displayed in front of the wolves.
Under the call of the unique cry of the saliva beast, the Snow Wind Wolf walked out of the wolf pack step by step, but still looked at everyone vigilantly. Leonard and the others also put down their weapons, signaling that this was a peaceful negotiation. It's a real gamble! Win, and the two sides are goodbye. Lose, leave your life here.
Ai Xue kept giving instructions to the saliva beast in her heart, although she couldn't understand the language of the beast, but the simple meaning could still be conveyed, this is the influence of the powerful effect of contract magic, I have to say that the summoner who invented the contract technique is really a genius.
The current situation seems to be peaceful, and the saliva beast may indeed have the ability to communicate with various magical beasts. The white wolf gave an order, and the wolves finally gradually retreated, leaving only the snowwind wolf standing alone in front of the saliva beast.
"Woo!" the wolf king let out a mournful lonely cry, and many windy wolves who refused to leave appeared around him again. A bad premonition arose in Zero's heart.
Leonard and the others were on their guard again, because no one knew what the wolf king in front of them would do.
The white wolf's body began to glow with a fluctuating light, and the wind elemental began to gather in large numbers, which was a precursor to unleashing powerful magic.
"Damn!" Sylva was about to rush out, but was stopped by Leonard.
"The direction of the magic attack is not on our side. Lelia also noticed the strange and explained to everyone.
A few seconds later, the white light lit up, and two spinning energy swords shot straight towards the sky, hovering for a while, and then falling again, pointing directly at the Snow Wind Wolf directly below.
Is it going to die as an atonement?
For the white wolf, the disappearance of the saliva beast on his own territory is inherently responsible. The White Wolf has rallied the wolves of the entire forest and prepared to launch a general assault on the hateful humans who have set foot here. Even though he knew that they were super powerful, he would not hesitate to keep them at any cost. Watching his companions fall one by one, the white wolf's heart was even more entangled. The magic that he had carefully prepared was completely ineffective under the mysterious girl and her weapon, who had never had a good appearance. And the final result turned out to be just a misunderstanding! It was the saliva beast who voluntarily walked with these humans, and explained it to himself personally. Not only did he attack the wrong target, but he also took the lives of so many of his kind, what a huge defeat and an indelible shame for a king! The snowwind wolf, who was psychologically desperate, chose the way out of self-determination to give an explanation to its subjects! And how could those followers of the white wolf bear to see it disappear like this.
A breeze blew and nothing happened.
"Fortunately, I found out in advance, and it was so dangerous. "Zero's knife just happened to stop the snowwind wolf's head at the last moment. The demon-shattering effect was activated again, and both spinning energy swords had disappeared without a trace.
"The king is lonely, is it Yefeiye?" looked at the wolf king in front of him, and only left a soft murmur.
2.
There was a look of doubt in his cold eyes, and the white wolf still didn't fully understand what had just happened.
"Can you solve a qiē if you die?" Zero asked the Wolf King.
"As long as you're dead, will we spare the other wolves?"
"As long as you're dead, will the saliva beast forgive you?"
"As long as you die, can your companions be resurrected?"
"As long as you die, will you be able to solve the Qiē problem?"
The white wolf lowered his head, as if he was suppressed by Zero's momentum.
"You must live well, and if you think you are guilty, you can only live to atone for your sins. Let's go. ”
The white wolf seemed to understand what Zero was saying, turned away, and quickly disappeared into the night.
The wolves also dispersed like a low tide, leaving only a quiet night.
"Whew, it's finally over. Leonard threw away his sword and fell to the ground exhausted.
Ahler's condition was not much better, and Sylva, due to his agility, was not seriously injured, but the number of kills was far inferior to Cal, and even less than that of Rea and the others, who had just fought bloodily.
Lelia still clutched her chest with palpitations, gulping out. As for people like Zero, who have no heart and lungs, they will start to slack off after the crisis has passed. However, among these people, the most calm is Ai Xue, who does not have a "dangerous" signal in her eyes, which makes Zero feel a little surprised.
How to say it, Ai Xue's nerves may really be different from ordinary people. Before coming to Colleurs Academy, when she encountered the robbers blocking the way, Ai Xue's spirit was shaken very violently, and words like "Who will save me", "Don't kill me", "Don't hurt my brother] kept lingering in Zero's ears, and the fear of fear pressed on Zero's heart, making her a little breathless. But later, after Ai Xue joined the war, it was like touching some hidden switch, Ai Xue's negative feelings disappeared completely, and the knife was called steady, accurate, and ruthless!
And this time when she encountered the wolves, Ai Xue directly skipped the first stage of weak qi and entered the state of eliminating a qiē negative emotion. Although judging from Ai Xue's current combat power, it is basically useless, but it is difficult to say in the future. Zero doesn't know if this phenomenon is good or bad, but if this is Ai Xue's "nature", then let it be.
"Well, I guess the wolves won't come again. Let's sleep, I'm Ai Xue's guardian, it doesn't make a difference whether you sleep or not, anyway, if you encounter danger, as long as you can wake everyone up in time, rest in peace. ”
Just now the crisis of the wolf pack was solved by zero, and it is difficult for everyone to refute it. Besides, Zero's statement also makes sense, this is the territory of the wolves, and since they have given up their plans to attack Lelia and the others, it is safer to stay here.
Zero sat in his sleeping bag, quietly staring at the two moons in the sky.
3.
Just as the fierce moon was setting and the sun was rising, an uninvited guest entered the camp of 7 people.
Although it was an uninvited guest, the visitor did not surprise Zero any more.
"Why are you back again, are you here to say goodbye to us?" asked Zero, confused.
"Woo-" the white wolf groaned as he rubbed his head against Zero's calf.
Then the white wolf raised his head and met Zero with a determined gaze.
"Do you mean to come with us?"
The white wolf nodded.
"Can you understand humans?" Zero was a little curious about this, some of the monsters had a high IQ, close to or even surpassing ordinary humans, but this intelligent race that lived in the deep forest would never have the opportunity to learn human language. And judging by the size of this snow wind wolf, it is not huge, not like the kind of old monster that has lived for a long time.
The white wolf shook his head, but stretched out his front paws and rested them on Zero's legs.
"You can't understand human speech, but you can understand me?"
This time Zero received an affirmative reply, and the white wolf nodded again.
"Damn, when did I have such murderous abilities!"
Zero reacted at this time, judging from the reaction of the saliva beast before, eighty percent also understood what he said.
Well, I'm pretty happy that I've discovered a new ability. It's just that this ability has an obvious weakness, which can make the Warcraft understand what it says, but I can't understand what the Warcraft wants to say!
Can you only ask the other party to nod and yes to answer yourself?
Well, Yiduo is not pressing, even if this ability to communicate with Warcraft is a little crippled, it is better than nothing.
Since the sun was rising, Zero didn't lower the volume of his speech, and what happened during the night made everyone feel a little nervous. So much so that everyone was awakened by Zero's sentence "" just now.
"Enemy attack?!" Leonard reacted the fastest, swooping out of his sleeping bag. Pick up the long sword beside you and enter the battle state.
"Don't, don't be nervous, my bad! Zero quickly got up and stood in front of Leonard, for fear that if he was not careful, Leonard would fight with this snowwind wolf.
The white wolf didn't move, and it didn't seem to be turning its attention to the sword in Leonard's hand.
This is Ai Xue has also gotten up, and after stretching a big lazy waist, she still feels a little dazed.
"Ai Xue, come and sign a contract with it. Zero shouted.
Ai Xue tilted her head, and Zero seemed to see a big question mark appear on her head......
【Embarrassment...... It's yesterday's Snow Wind Wolf, and it wants to come with us!] Zero explained the current situation to Ai Xue in the briefest words.
[Oh.] Ai Xue's reply was even shorter, just one word. At the same time, Ai Xue also silently took out a contract scroll.
With her previous experience, Ai Xue quickly formed an equal contract with Snow Wind Wolf.
"What's going on?!"
The wolf king, who almost killed her last night, turned out to be Ai Xue's contract summoning beast?
It's just that Ai Xue doesn't have enough consciousness about this. If you divide it according to the normal level, summoners who can use level 6 magical beasts can enjoy the same treatment as level 6 elemental magicians. It's just that the demon contract is different from the envoy contract, and it values the opportunity more than the strength. Due to the extremely limited influence of the summoner on the strength of the Demon Contract Summoning Beast, a level 6 Snow Wind Wolf alone could not identify Ai Xue as a level 6 summoner. But against the average level 4 or 5 elemental magician, Ai Xue still has enough capital to be proud of them.
Now that the Snow Wind Wolf had become Ai Xue's summoned beast, Zero had once again mobilized her crooked brain.
"Let me ride it, okay?" Zero rubbed his hands together and smiled evilly, extending his claws towards the pure white Snow Wind Wolf.
"Woo......" Snowwind Wolf took a step back, but stopped there. Although there was some resistance, it was kind of agreeing to Zero's request.
"Well, isn't it a little too small for the wolf king?" After Zero rode up, he found that his feet could still touch the ground, and he didn't feel like riding at all, just like a child bullying the family's pet cat.
"Of course, the king of wolf monsters will not be so small. A small number of Warcraft can grow like humans, and the Snow Wind Wolf, like my Flame Bird, was born as a Level 5 Warcraft, but it is said that someone has seen a Snow Wind Wolf that has reached Level 8! Velociraptor is different, because of the thin dragon blood of the dragon clan and is born with super strength, but a hybrid is a hybrid, no matter how you train, it is impossible to break through the boundary between 6 and 7. ”
"Inside...... Velociraptors, you say, are mongrels?" said Elcher was a little puzzled by Lelia's words.
"I didn't take this velociraptor class personally, but my mother gave it to me. In order to allow me to control such a powerful level 6 demonic beast when I was still young, I signed an envoy contract, and such a velociraptor is more in the Hengduan Mountains, and there is no value in training. Lelia explained simply, "The Snow Wind Wolf is very different, the wolf beast has a high level of intelligence and a strong sense of loyalty, if you cultivate it well, maybe it will be your lifelong companion." ”
Ai Xue nodded as if she didn't understand, to be honest, the biggest contributor to the subduing of the Snow Wind Wolf should be zero, Ai Xue just signed a contract with the white wolf. However, this can be regarded as the fulfillment of Ai Xue's greatest wish on this trip, signing a contract with a powerful demonic beast in order to quickly improve his combat effectiveness.
[Oops, it's broken!] Ai Xue slapped her head, as if she suddenly remembered something important.
[What's wrong?] asked with zero concern.
[I haven't named the Snow Wind Wolf yet, what should I do, Xiaobai has already been occupied. Ai Xue was a little at a loss.
[......] If there is a mirror in front of Zero, it is estimated that she can see the black line in her head.
When he subdued the saliva beast before, Zero had already appreciated how unique Ai Xue's taste in naming was. Forget about the saliva beast, stupid and stupid, it's a bit similar to the one in Crayon Xiaoxin. Just because the fur of the Snow Wind Wolf is also white, you can't want to give it such a cliché name!
[Since you can't call Xiaobai, it's better to just call Xiaobai two.] Zero's inspiration comes from Apple's earphones, the original Xiaobai earphones have gradually disappeared with the discontinuation of the 4S, and they have been replaced by the original earphones that come with the Kidney 5, Xiaobai TWO.
[White rabbit? sounds so stupid, why is it called a rabbit even though it's a wolf?]
[......] Although Zero wanted to say, "You're the only one who is not qualified to say that", but in the end he held back, "How about calling it Snow Wind?" 】
Zero gave a constructive suggestion, but was immediately vetoed by Ai Xue.
Isn't that the same as naming a bird 'bird'!] Ai Xue is really quite stubborn in some ways.
[How about Xiaoxue, it's also very similar to your name.] According to Ai Xue's naming habits, Zero came up with another set of plans, and by the way, I'm glad that Ai Xue didn't call herself Xiao Zero or Xiao Yue at the beginning, otherwise I would definitely have goosebumps on the ground.
"Inside, I've decided, from now on, you will be called Xiaoxue. Ai Xue put on a posture of "there is only one truth, and the murderer is him".
It's so nostalgic.,The classic pose of the Grim Reaper schoolboy Conan to identify the prisoner was used by Ai Xue to name the summoned beast...... The second sense of middle school is bursting.
However, although the words just now were Ai Xue's meaning, they came out of Zero's mouth, which made Snow Wind Wolf feel a little disobedient. But the spiritual connection between Tong Guò and Ai Xue, the Snow Wind Wolf, oh no, it's time to call Xiaoxue, it quickly learns Zero's words = Ai Xue's speech.
Xiaoxue, who was pointed out, responded happily, presumably for it, it is really a happy event that it does not have to carry a stupid name like "Xiaobai".
"Okay, let's not continue today, just rest here for the day. Leonard gave the team clear instructions, after all, the first day into the forest had been through so much, and he didn't get a good night's sleep.
"This is the territory of the wolves, since the wolf king has become Ai Xue's contract beast, presumably it is absolutely safe for us to stay here, let's move freely today." Ai Xue is led by the Snow Wind Wolf on his side, and there will definitely be no problem. Yesterday, a few of us did consume a lot of body, and Lelia needed a lot of rest to recover her mana. I'm going to check the markers I made before, and the others disbanded. ”
