Lu Xi and his friends clinged to the mountain wall and squatted down, letting the almost half-human-high bushes block their bodies, and they didn't dare to take a breath. The craggy rocks act as a natural barrier, and the occasional trace of unnaturalness is disturbed by the fluctuation of magical power, obscuring the probing view that hangs from the sky. Even the sharp eagle eye can never detect any clues.

The big bird with golden feathers and a wingspan of almost five or six meters in the sky circled three or four times, but after all, it still didn't find any clues. It let out a long cry of disappointment, flapped its wings, and turned to fly east.

Even so, until the big bird turned into a small black dot in the sky that could barely be seen, everyone did not dare to show it, and waited until the leader of the team gave the following order.

“…… Let's go, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Lu Xi said in a low voice.

"Huhuhu! That big bird just now, it looks really scary, hey, it's good that it's finally gone. About twenty-one or twelve years old, the red-haired federal soldier let out a long sigh, almost reached the ground in a limp motion, took out the kettle with a slight tremble, and poured a mouthful of water: "Have you noticed that since you entered the mountain, there have been more and more strange big guys flying in the air?" ”

"I don't want to care about any big birds, I just want to take a breath. This is the first break in the ten hours we've been in the mountains, right? I used to either climb mountains or drill forests, and even a professional soldier like me who had been trained for a long time couldn't stand it. He replied as a young man with short brown hair, dressed in the same federal sergeant armor.

"Cheer up. Brat! Lieutenant Ai Ming clasped his hands and looked at the two young federal soldiers with an expression of hatred: "A few girls." Well, and that little girl from Drow didn't complain. And. Master Berencaster is obviously a spellcaster, isn't he still radiant? Hey, bring out your root nature as warriors! ”

The red-haired young man looked at Lu Xi and Nicole, who were observing the situation at the front of the team, and then at Lim and Little Dina, who were taking out food from their big backpacks and preparing lunch for everyone. Don't they all say that elves are demigods? It's not like us ordinary people. Uh, and Miss Lim. Don't look so cute, but listen to those Nord people, she is a sword hero? Where do I dare to compare with these big shots?

He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, where do I dare to compare with Lord Lucy?" I've heard of it, when Lord Lucy was guarding the Black City, he blocked dozens of necromantic knights with one man and one sword, and killed them one by one. This Lord Lucy is not only a great mage, but also a master of swordsmanship. Just run a little way. It's not a problem for him at all, right? ”

As Jill, who was jokingly called one of the "brain-dead powder trio" by Nicole? Locke, a stocky young man with enthusiastic red hair and a round face, naturally fulfills the basic principle of "idols are omniscient" at all times.

"However, I was able to fight alongside Lord Lucy. No matter what the result is, the Sprinkle family will definitely be worth it in this life. If you let those previous companions know, they will definitely envy me, right? It was the young man with short brown hair who spoke. Name Bain? Wright, older than Gil? Locke was a little smaller. It's only his second year as a professional soldier. His temperament is very sassy and sunny, and he has a bit of the taste of a warm man next door. Although his facial features are very ordinary, he must be a very popular boy. It's a pity that such a good young man just became Lu Xi's brain-dead fan, and he followed the footsteps of his idol and stepped into this hell-level high-risk copy, which is really "once addicted to life".

To sum up, please read to me: "Chasing stars is risky, you need to be cautious when entering the circle!" ”

Not to mention for the time being that the brain-dead fans are chatting about how nutritious the topic is, Lu Xi, as the core of the team, does not dare to rest, and has now fallen behind a boulder on the side of the mountain, carefully observing the situation in the distance. Fortunately, with the talent of "Friends of the Mountains", Lu Xi's body in the mountains is almost incomparable to the speed of elves, and he will not feel tired for a while.

"That thing just now, it should be a Dapeng bird, right?" Major Grimmar asked in a low voice as he leaned against the rock wall a little behind Lu Xi.

The so-called Roc Bird is actually an alpine demonic beast that grows in the Lesser Atlas Mountains. Huge in size, with extremely high intelligence and strength, it belongs to the same level as winter wolves, pegasus, griffins and other animals, and is a magical beast that lives at the top of the food chain. The claws of ordinary birds of prey can tear open the skulls of medium-sized herbivores such as antelopes and deer, which is already remarkable, but this kind of monster-level raptor can directly kill bears and even elephants under one claw.

"It's not just a Dapeng bird, it's a golden-winged Dapeng that has lived for at least 100 years, which is what we commonly call a thunderbird." It was Mura who answered him? Fandel, the leader of the Nord Volunteer Trio. He had served in the eastern frontiers of the empire for many years, so he was naturally more familiar with this bird of prey, which could be called the overlord of the Little Atlas Mountains.

When the bird reaches a certain age, the mixed-color feathers will go through a process of falling and growing, and the color will become lighter and lighter, but also more and more brilliant. When it is more than 100 years old, its feathers will change from the tan of the dick silk to the golden yellow of the local tyrant, and at that time, this bird also has the ability to spit thunder and lightning, so it is called the thunderbird.

Of course, just like a Qiē intelligent Warcraft, a powerful person can tame a thunderbird by brute force or other means. This kind of big guy is not weak in combat, and his appearance is cool, whether it is used as a helper or a mount, the fashionability of the crazy Coolmaster is naturally not a problem.

Speaking of which, Carol also said that he recently got a thunderbird, and I don't know if the guy is talking nonsense.

"That thunderbird just now, it's obviously investigating, right? Orcs or undead, has any powerful person tamed the Thunderbird? Major Grimar asked in surprise.

"The undead are impossible, and the Thunderbird is said to be the embodiment of thunder and lightning on the top of Atlas Mountain, and it is impossible to succumb to the living dead who are between life and death." Mura shook her head: "I've heard of it, though. The ancestor of the Thunder Axe Clan of the Orcs signed a contract with a Thunderbird King who had lived for a thousand years. The Thunderbird King would send several Thunderbirds and dozens of Roc Birds to fight for him every year. It is also for this reason that the Thunderaxe Clan is now also one of the most powerful tribes in the Orgrimmar Wastelands. ”

That is to say. In addition to the Burning Blade, it is basically certain that the Thunder Axe Clan also participated in this battle. Grima held her chin and nodded, although her face was a little solemn, but there was no tension or fear: "Hey, although this is bad news, but if you think about it, our situation is already very delicate anyway, and it seems that a few more murderous enemies are not a big deal." ”

"Haha. Mr. Major, you are really open-minded! Mura couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"After all, it's this age, and I've been squeezing my head around the waistband of my pants all my life, and I've seen a lot, and I've seen everything. If you really want to talk about it, Your Excellency, you are young, but your bearing is so steady and resolute, you can know at a glance that you are a supreme martial arts master and an excellent commander sword. That's what makes a difference. ”

"You've really won a prize. Although the younger generation does have some confidence in his brute strength, and he has indeed read military books for a few days, he has also seen many young people who are younger than me and better than me, perhaps in terms of strength. Maybe it's strategy, or maybe it's decisiveness and leadership. Speaking of which, don't we have one here? In Lu Xi? In front of Master Belencaster. The younger generation really doesn't dare to be cheeky and claim to be excellent. ”

In this way, the leaders of the Nord volunteers and the leaders of the federal volunteers turned from discussing serious matters to diplomatic greetings without nutrients, but Lu Xi ignored them completely. Not only did he open the True Eye of the God of War, but he also released three Detective Eyes. I really can't get distracted to make small talk with people anymore. At this time, around Lu Xi and his little friends, there were still endless mountains, with no end in sight, and it looked quite spectacular. However, no matter how magnificent the scene is, if you watch it for more than ten hours, you will definitely be aesthetically tired.

Nicole was also lying next to Lu Xi, but her eyes were closed at this time. She is silently casting spells, allowing her perception to share spiritual power with the surrounding flowers and trees, and even insects and birds, so that on the one hand, she can communicate directly with their spirits, and on the other hand, she can observe the scene farther away through their sight.

This druid magic, named "natural vision" by the elves, is defined as the ninth ring of magic in the Book of a Thousand Laws, and is one of the most powerful hit-scout magics. However, any formal druid who has systematically studied elven magic can basically use this magic, the difference is only the size of the observation range, and the number and type of animals that can communicate and even control. If it is like Daddy Tifario or Sister Tido, once they use "natural vision", they can become their eyes and ears within a hundred miles, and they can even directly give attack orders to a large number of fierce beasts. And Nicole, maybe more than ten miles is her limit.

There are no red dots on the Holographic Map of the True Eye of the God of War, and the Detective Eye has not gotten any other valuable information. Lu Xi was slightly disappointed, so he put away the reconnaissance magic eye and decided to act in the original direction, he was just about to call the big meow over to ask, when he heard Nicole whisper, "Huh?" He snapped, and then opened his eyes.

"Situation? Nicole, have you found the enemy? Lu Xi hurriedly asked.

"Didn't see the enemy directly." The elven maiden muttered, "But a cuckoo told me that an hour ago a great flock of terrible bad fellows had gone south. ”

"Terrible guy? What does it look like? ”

"Lu Lu can't be too embarrassed! It was just a cuckoo after all, and it couldn't tell the difference between a human, an orc, and an undead. At most, you can only tell whether the other person is a bad person or a good person by feeling. Nicole spread her hands and said, "My practice is not enough, if I can communicate with rabbits, foxes and other animals, I will definitely be able to get more detailed information." ”

"That's enough." Lu Xi said with a smile. He wasn't comforting the other party, at this time, Angie had already appeared in the shadow of the mountain wall.

"Angie, did you hear that? Find that wave of people and try to gather as much information as you can without revealing yourself. Lu Xi commanded in a low voice.

"Understood. master！ The astral assassin's voice and body quickly vanished with a slight ripple in the air. Except for Nicole, who was next to her, it is estimated that even the friends who were resting did not notice the abnormality here.

"The Star Spirit is really powerful." Nicole looked enviously at the direction in which Angie disappeared, and wrinkled her nose: "It was said to be a summoning spirit." In fact, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a living life. ”

"The star spirit was originally a fragment of the soul of an ancient hero, and it existed as a spiritual core. As their strength increases, and as they appear in this world grows. Of course, the personality will become more and more sound. Of course, that's what it does. Their ability to absorb demons is also getting stronger and stronger. Lu Xi said: "Speaking of which, in terms of summoning, arcane magic actually seems to be similar to elven magic, but there is a slight difference between the magic circle of the communication dimension and the heteroplane. In that case, Nicole should be able to learn too, right? ”

"Huh? May I? Isn't this Mr. Orucello's unique spell? Can it be passed on to outsiders? ”

"When did you become an outsider?" Lu Xi smiled: "Well, it really needs to be recognized by the teacher." However, the old man should not object. ”

Having said this, Limu's voice came from the back of the two of them: "Lu Xi......" They turned around and saw the expressionless Sanwu doll and the four-knife sword hao holding two sandwich breads. One with meat and the other with dried vegetables.

"Thank you, Lim." Nicole took the bread with the dried vegetables, took a bite, frowned slightly, and probably didn't like it, but still swallowed it in a big gulp.

Everyone thinks that elves must be vegetarians through and through, but this is actually a misunderstanding. Of the four elven clans, the Night Elves and High Elves have at least a small amount of practical dairy and aquatic products, while the Drow Elves are even more boring. All the water swims in the heavenly enclave are on their diets, but due to physical fitness and habits, the ratio of meat and vegetables is often above 1 to 9. Only the wood elves of Noorda, who are vegetarians through and through. Of course, this is not to say that they are extremely animal protectionist, but that their stomachs are really unable to digest meat.

But. This doesn't mean that the recipe of the Wood Elves is simple, or that it is true. It is precisely because of the limitation of ingredients that the wood elves are the most particular about food in the world. Even a cabbage seedling must be carved into a flower before it can be served seriously. Nicole is equivalent to the princess of the Nolda Wood Elf, and naturally grew up in an environment where every meal is full of flowers. Such a simple dry food just now, separated by a piece of dry flour cake, sandwiched with a little dried vegetables marinated in salt, spices and olive oil, for her, I am afraid that it could not be unpalatable, completely to the point of unbearable consumption.

Lu Xi looked at Nicole distressedly, and then looked at the lunch in his hand, the dry noodle cake was holding two slices of pickled air-dried meat, and couldn't help sighing. Go to hell-level dungeons, and don't really come out camping, don't be squeamish.

"Did everyone get lunch?" Lu Xi asked as he nibbled on the bread.

"Well, everybody's eating, I've already eaten." Lim said.

In fact, the pursuit of better food enjoyment is also the universal demand of civilized creatures, even the most rude orcs. In fact, the friends at the scene were frowning and nibbling on the dry food in their hands, and these hard-working soldiers were able to calmly accept the unpalatable field dry food, but it did not mean that they would find these things delicious. The only exception is the most delicate looking Zhuoer Lori present, this little Lori was a white ghost who could only eat raw meat more than half a year ago, and her strict requirements for food have not been fully cultivated, and she is currently in the stage where she thinks all cooked food is delicious.

"If only I could make a hot meal for everyone." Ells stuffed half of the bread left in his hand into his mouth, feeling completely deprived of the fullness after satisfying his appetite, this young man who was more like a warrior than a magician, the leader of Lu Xi's "Brain-Dead Powder Trio" shook his head and said: "Our family actually runs a game restaurant, and I am quite confident in my craft." Moreover, everyone has been running around for nearly four days, and the only sleep time is spent right away.

"Don't think about it when it's hot, once the smoke rises, within an hour we will be surrounded by thousands of orcs and undead." Major Grimmar shook his head, groaned for a moment, and walked over to Lu Xi's side: "However, master, everyone's body is almost at its limit. You really need to take a break and lie down for at least a few hours of sleep. ”

"Indeed, you were right!" Lu Xi nodded. He almost really ignored that. The amount of activity before was not a problem for himself, Lim, Ni Ke and the gold-level Mura, but not everyone in the team was a person with a high level of gold or silver, and most of them were just stronger "mortals". If it weren't for Major Grimmar's reminder, it might have caused irreparable consequences at the most critical moment.

I still don't have enough experience as a leader! Well, to consider the actions of a team, not with the strongest, but with the weakest as the standard?

Lu Xi pondered for a moment: "It doesn't matter, you can find a place to rest, even if everyone wants to have a hot meal." Cooking smoke or smells can be solved by guò magic. ”

Mura, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head and said, "Master, I know that magic can indeed do this, but it will inevitably consume a lot of your mana. Weakening combat effectiveness in order to satisfy appetite is by no means a wise judgment! ”

"Don't worry, Viscount, we're the Cunzài of the Infinite Self-Propelled Magic Fort! If it's just a matter of returning to the blue, I'm confident that I'm no less than a few great magisters. Lu Xi said very confidently. And even if Hui Lan can't keep up, there are still several Demon Returning Crystals in my bag.

"Okay, sister goddess, tell me, go west, and there is a very hidden cave over this hill, which is enough for all of us to rest. So, let's go! (To be continued......)
