Chapter 043: Alchemist's Camp
Following.
A thin white mist appeared in the barren forest, and if you simply stood in place, you could no longer see the scene ten meters away. And the ground around him was damp, and Grant walked on the weeds, feeling the chill rush into the skin of his feet.
As a fifth-order mage, he was basically immune to this ordinary chill, and he didn't feel anything. But he still turned over and rode a horse and walked forward, the black horse was higher than the third level, and his body contained a certain amount of demonic blood, which was directly subdued by Grant, and after strengthening and transforming, his current strength was no less than that of an ordinary junior alchemist.
It's very fast, and it's also very resistant to defense.
As Grant was on the way, he saw a white mist on both sides, and he couldn't see anything else.
He sniffed, and when he smelled it, it was full of irritating cold currents.
"The temperature here is really low, I really didn't expect these surrounding woods to survive, it looks like there must be some special advantages in it, I'd better store it first and analyze it slowly." Grant saw the changes in the trees around him, and a slight smile appeared on his calm face, thinking that maybe it would help him.
He has now abandoned his original series of spells and has begun to build enhanced spells that fuse red, white, and black robes.
This will be more powerful than the previous spells.
In the past, he had always been a weakness of the spell direction, mainly relying on spell inscriptions in the early days, and relying on the soul snatcher and time gold stones and various magic patterns, rune patterns and so on.
Of course, these are not without reason, most of Grant's mental power and mana are used to maintain the consumption of magic pets, and only a small part can maintain spells. In this way, the invisible is weaker than others, and can only rely on external objects.
He currently finds a difference between this and the Glory World in the game. Part of the inherited knowledge in the direction of the red robe exists, and you only need to use the analysis technique. Able to fuse and strengthen them. At that time, whether it is a foreign object, a magic pet, or even a spell, it will be stronger than others.
So, Grant will also have such an interest.
At present, it can only be slowly accumulated from the first-order strengthened law system, until it is in the fifth-order system, and afterwards you can go there to find a large number of demonic beasts to learn experience.
Walking in the soft, damp dirt, Grant walked up to a tree, reached out and tore off a large chunk of the tree and sent it to the reserve space. I'm going to wait until I have time to do some research.
He's done with that. Clapped his hands and continued to ride on the horse.
After about half a mile, the surrounding area was already in the middle of the forest, and the white fog on both sides also showed a little sign of dissipation, and occasionally the white fog in front of me could be seen mixed with a faint golden beam.
Grant snorted suddenly, his face showed an unprecedented solemnity, as if he had discovered some major event, and muttered: "There is a little smell of blood ahead, it is not an ordinary beast, it should be a human." ”
He slapped the dark horse. Suddenly, it turned into an afterimage and shuttled through the forest.
Like a flower butterfly, the black horse walked lightly through the surrounding trees, and it was easy and not much of a problem.
This flexible action. Placed on a black horse, it is very strange.
Brush!
The black horse leaped forward abruptly, crushing over several clumps of bushes and grass and a few fallen trees. If only ordinary civilians had seen such movements. I'm sure my eyes will drop in surprise and stand here without moving. Who would have thought that ordinary dark horses would have such powerful movements and superb thinking skills.
After the current has reached a certain level. A clearing could be clearly seen in front of me, where many bloody corpses lay there. Among them were several women, but they had been stripped of their clothes, revealing their naked white flesh.
Grant dismounted and walked briskly over.
When he got closer, he could clearly see that the white corpses had obvious artificial cuts on them, and there was a little frozen yellowish liquid on the lower body.
Grant immediately judged that this was a group of thieves who had come to rob it, and it shouldn't be too long. After that, some wild beasts came to gnaw on them, making their appearance a blur of flesh and blood.
"One, two, three, four......" Grant counted carefully, and found that the number of people here was obviously the same as the caravan he saw last night.
Obviously, this is the same caravan from last night.
Just as Grant was thinking, a low roar of threatening beasts came.
Grant immediately turned his head and found a group of dripping beasts crawling behind him, his eyes were red, and the undisguised instinctive killing intent suddenly swept around Grant.
"Humph!" Grant snorted simply, his eyes were strangely pale gold, and his waist-length hair couldn't help but flutter slightly.
An invisible spiritual pressure enveloped it, instantly suppressing several beasts that were gradually emerging with fear.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the clearing, one beast after another was directly pinched and exploded by the pressure, turning into a cloud of blood mist, and in an instant, the clearing was completely unable to see its original appearance.
After Grant saw that the beasts were dead, he also withdrew his mental power and planned to continue leaving.
He mounted his horse and continued to leave from here.
Ordinary caravans are attacked and then killed, which is very normal everywhere.
Half a day later, the sun had risen in the middle of the sky, and a horse and a black-robed man appeared at the end of the forest.
The black-robed man looked forward to see a large area of green grassland, and said with an open smile on his face, "Okay, two towns further ahead is the location of Moluo Canyon, I really hope to see some good things." ”
…………
A few days later.
The sky darkened for some reason, heavy clouds and mist obscured the air, and a few muffled thunders could occasionally be heard.
In a yellowed wilderness, only a few sparse patches of grass swayed back and forth.
Grant rode forward.
He knew very well that there was Morro Canyon in front of him, and a kilometer further on he could see an uninhabited ash town.
Grant rode on his horse and saw that there was no scenery in the surrounding wilderness, a lifeless scene, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy, and directly let the black horse speed forward.
After a few hours, it was completely dark.
Grant is also counted in the final period. Rushed to the entrance to Morro Canyon.
He looked ahead.
As far as the eye can see, there is a huge plateau with a tear in the middle. You can see it all the way inside. There are no weeds and plants around, and it looks very desolate. Inside, there was no light, and it was damp and dark.
Woo!
The dark horse stirred uneasily.
Grant reached out and touched the horse's head as a sign of reassurance as he slowly walked into the canyon entrance.
The oncoming cold wind has a biting feeling, obviously not so cold, but as long as it blows on the face, the whole body will unconsciously have goosebumps.
Grant could clearly feel that there was a lot of negativity here, but there was something else. For example, chaotic mental power.
"Sure enough, it's a little weird, let's go, go to the front and have a look." Grant blessed himself with a bright light, and then rode his horse forward and accelerated. Bang bang bang...... After a rush of horses' hooves, a large bonfire could be seen in the middle of the canyon.
Countless bonfires form a spark that not only illuminates the surrounding location, but also dispels a faint chill.
Grant squinted his eyes and used the clairvoyance dark spell to see directly that there was a camp made of black tents inside. Sparsely distributed. At the same time, a metal fence is used as a protective ring on the periphery. Quite a few men and women in leather armor sat there chatting or had already entered the tent to sleep.
This is undoubtedly a place to live, but the weapons placed on the ground are a bit like a wandering temporary residence.
Grant had also asked Owen beforehand. Know that this is a scattered camp of alchemists.
Ghosts have appeared in Ember Town, called Evil Spirits and Banshees, according to alchemists, and such places are often dangerous. However, because of the long-term habitation of that dangerous creature, some things inside have changed, the most common being metal jewelry. Directly cursed. Ordinary people may be very unlucky if they wear it, or they will be sick. Serious direct death.
They have a powerful curse power, and in the hands of an alchemist, they can be transformed into powerful alchemists with a slight transformation.
Many junior alchemists covet those cursed things, so there are often many groups of alchemists who rush to make luck, hoping that they can get it.
But there is also a certain danger inside, and there are not many alchemists who have died in Ash Town.
Grant saw that it was still quite lively, and planned to go there for a night of rest for the time being, and wait for early morning to go to Ash Town.
Raise the horse slightly, and run directly and slowly towards the camp.
…………
Merlin was bored at home, so he consulted with a few friends who had a good time, and planned to go to Ashes to get some cursed objects in exchange for pocket money.
His father was an ordinary viscount, and he also had six sons under his knees, and according to the rules of the kingdom, it was the first three children who had the right to inherit, and a guy like him who was the sixth in rank was not popular.
Fortunately, he has the talent of an alchemist, and he barely hopes that he will not be sad in the future. Because I don't have the burden of family responsibilities, I always thought that I was practicing alchemist, and at the same time I was bored.
During a battle with a friend, he heard the legend of Ash Town and came to try his luck. Even if you don't get it, you can waste most of your time. The four companions who came with him were all of similar thoughts.
"Listen to me when we go tomorrow, and I promise that each of you will get a dozen cursed things to use as alchemists. Hey, how's that? By the way, Cellly, when you stand behind me, I will definitely protect you. Merlin crouched on the periphery of the campfire, clapping his hands to show his companions confidence.
Creak......
A campfire was placed in the middle, glowing in a dim glow, surrounded by four young men who looked to be in their twenties. Among the four men was a girl with a golden ponytail.
The girl has long straight golden hair, which has been draped over the round fragrant shoulders, a standard melon seed face, and delicate facial features are combined together, which is very perfect, especially the cherry mouth, which is glowing with pink luster. As long as the man looks at it, there is a certain primitive impulse in his body, and he can't wait to immediately rush over and gnaw on that little mouth.
Under the faint yellow light, the girl can be seen wearing a gray leather armor, the slender arms on both sides are wearing long silver chain gloves, and the lower round and straight thighs are a pair of leather pants, outlining a perfect seductive arc.
"No, I can protect myself." The girl looked at the bonfire and said lightly, with some disgust in her words.
"Sister, Merlin is our friend, so there is no need to be so cold. I think he also has good intentions, if you are a girl in danger, you must need a man to protect you. A handsome young man next to him, who was very similar to Sailly, frowned and persuaded him.
"Brother, if you do this again, I will pull you back directly." Sally looked at her brother with a little displeasure, and sighed in her heart that if you didn't want to come to participate in the so-called Ash Town hunt, how could I have come with me.
"Let's stop talking about this, let's discuss tomorrow's division of labor. After all, I've heard that there are a lot of evil spirits in Ember Town, and they will definitely be attacked then. Isn't it, Merlin? After seeing Merlin eating turtles, two teenagers also deliberately alleviated the embarrassing situation in front of them, so as not to make Merlin unhappy.
They knew very well that among the five people here, Merlin's family was the largest, so naturally they couldn't offend.
So, intentionally or unintentionally, they began to match between Sally and Merlin, and Sally's brother next to him didn't notice it at all, and still thought they were joking.
While they were talking, there was a commotion in the camp, and many people were moving.
For a while, the firelight flickered!
"What's going on? Did you encounter a robber? ”
"How is it possible, do you think that any robber would dare to rob the alchemist here? Do they still want to find their own death, your guess is a little too unreliable. ”
"That's all the evil spirits in Ember Town have pounced and want to attack here."
"Get up and take a look."
When they arose, and when they reached the main road in the middle of the camp, they also saw many alchemists getting up, looking ahead on guard, as if they had encountered a great enemy.
Merlin walked up very smartly, and asked an elderly alchemist with a smile, "This time, sir, you have been watching what is going on in front of you?" Anyway, they all ran over. ”
The middle-aged alchemist saw that it was a very young man with good clothes who came over, and knew that this group should be noble alchemists, so he naturally didn't want to offend them, so he lowered his voice and said: "The detection totem placed by an alchemist before found that a faint white light appeared in front of him, which was somewhat similar to those evil spirits, so we came over to see if it was real." ”
"Oh, I see, thank you sir." Merlin smiled modestly, turned his head, looked at them very proudly, and said with a smile, "How is it?" I'm right, there's an evil spirit ahead. ”
"It's true, I didn't expect the current evil spirit to dare to take the initiative to attack the alchemist's camp." The companions together exclaimed, and their eyes also carried a faint expectation.
At this moment, a high-decibel sound sounded.
"The white light is out, and it's approaching here!" (To be continued......)
