Chapter 724: Exploring [Airey]
North of the Lion City, at the foot of the Mosen Mountains.
The forest, which was originally lush with grass and trees, was so damaged that it was unbearable to see;
The trees can only barely be in blocks and rows at this moment;
Choose a place with a good view at the foot of the mountain range on the north side, and you can even directly see the stones on the top of the mountain.
Because it had been broken for a long time, many of the trees that were thrown aside did not have time to transport them down the mountain. As fuel, the branches and leaves had withered and sallow yellow at this moment, and they looked like a kind of solemn that could not be dissolved;
The few surviving trees contrast with them and look particularly weird.
The life of the hunter will definitely be affected, Irey thought.
The forest outside the Lion North Village was a monster before it was attacked, and the wild beasts were the most active, and Aly also often came here to perform missions;
The damage here is also the most serious.
"Tsk, what else can be left in this forest?" A mercenary from Irey sighed at the corpse of the monster not far away.
It looked like a demon bear that was nearly half a foot long; logically speaking, a monster like it should be the overlord of the forest, but now it only had half of its body-the rest were unknown;
The only one who kills it is the magical beast. Those fierce and violent guys don’t even have to take the demon bear seriously.
"There are still some little guys!" Another mercenary pointed to the side of the team, and the shaking grass - a rabbit just flew past it, and these small animals were relatively less affected.
Half of the team were mercenaries and half were soldiers; Alay and Fran were walking in the front, searching for suspicious things.
Fran believes that the witch will definitely hide in the mountains and wait for an opportunity to murder the people who go up the mountain to investigate - after all, blood is an important magic material for witches;
She has been feeling the magic source around her and is always ready to deal with the trap;
Before leaving, Fran suggested that Elley order other teams not to rashly approach suspicious things; Elley did convey the order.
After all, whether you can find it or not is secondary, safety first.
While leading the team to the top of the mountain, Ailei listened to what the mercenaries behind him were talking about-
"Hey, I heard before that someone passed by Hunter and saw the black dragon!"
"You can definitely see it. Now everyone in the entire Fares Kingdom knows that the will of the Black Dragon wants to bring people back to the forest... I said, do you believe it? Can he really do that?"
"Unless, he has flew too much in the sky and was blown away by the cold wind! Take those Korris back to the forest? Just this forest? Just burn those who like to make trouble with one mouthful of dragon flames and just burn those who like to make trouble!"
"I feel that he must have had some other conspiracy... Be careful!"
"What can I do if there is a conspiracy? Such a big black dragon... we can't deal with it! Let's leave it to fate!"
That black dragon would not have cooked all the Fares like burning monsters... Aile comforted himself; it had the ability, and if it wanted to do so, it would have been able to do it long ago;
The will of that black dragon should be planning something...
"The town is messy now! Hmm, I would rather go back to the forest than obey the Fares. What can such a guy be honest?"
"I heard that all those who don't want to go back are big men... tsk, can they go back to the forest with peace of mind?"
When Ai Lei almost laughed out loud when he heard this, he was all big men?
Speaking of which, the people who would rather die than surrender to Farez should be young and energetic guys.
This is even more serious than a food crisis - although the mountains are broken now, you can still find food;
But if the population ratio is unbalanced to this level, it will become extinct in one generation...
"Ailee, there is a magic source reaction in front of it." Fran's voice interrupted Ailee's thoughts, "There is no sign of activity, it should not be a war beast."
"Okay - everyone, be careful! There is a magic reaction ahead! Remember, don't get rashly--!" Aire shouted, and the mercenaries behind him stopped discussing in a very knowing way;
After all, no matter how strong the relationship with Ailey is, he is also an earl now - it would be too disrespectful to not obey orders.
The entire queue quickly became regular, and then approached the magic source in an orderly manner.
Fran carefully sensed the change in the intensity of the magic power, while staring at the direction of the magic power source;
After reaching a certain level, the position can be confirmed by changing the orientation of the magic source.
Before she walked forward, she signaled that Aly could stop.
"Just in front." Fran said, pointing to a small wood not far away, "It's there."
"You have to be careful... Well, come with me!" Aley picked a few good-looking guys and approached the woods step by step;
As he got closer, Alay saw something hidden in it - it was a corpse of a monster;
If you look more carefully, it is a white-haired wild boar that is more common near the Lion City.
Anyone with some adventure experience in this kind of monster knows that it is not strong in combat, but has good flesh and good fur to keep warm. It is a relatively common low-level monster - it is usually moved back by adventurers.
"It seems like a trap." Ailey made a quick judgment, "Fran, does the magic source overlap with the corpse of the monster?"
This monster should just be a bait that attracts people's past; the real magic array should be like a crossbow placed in the distance...
"No overlap." Fran sensed the nearby magic power slightly, "Well... the magic power source is a little further away; don't approach the corpse of the monster, bypass it and take a look near the magic power source."
The same as Aly had previously conceived, everyone found a small magic array in the shadow of the branches and leaves without much effort;
It can automatically sense the arrival of a person and shoot arrows toward the target area; if hit, although this level of magic will not endanger life, the spiritual magic above is enough to make people sleep for most of the day.
"Since there is a trap, she will definitely come over to see the situation every once in a while!" a mercenary suggested, "Let's just squat here and catch her when she comes. How about it?"
"No." Ailee shook his head, "She can escape from the fortress, how could she not care about this?
She doesn't have much magic reserve, and this trap should have taken a lot of effort and it's impossible for her to run too far;
Whether she was surveillance of magic or hiding to observe, she was definitely paying attention to the situation here.”
"Then... should we search the neighborhood?" The mercenary seemed to be frightened by "hiding and observing", and began to look around alertly;
"There is no need for this. When we approach the forest, she has already run far away." Ailey shrugged, "I can't catch it."
However, it was not in vain to be able to confirm the existence of the witch...
