Versatile Mage
Chapter 486: Taking Life in the Forest
Inside the Firecloud Forest, it appears that the first travelers to reach Ping Ling Mountain, wearing military medals, wander around the Firecloud Forest, as if they have lost some direction.
In fact, when they got here, they didn't know where to go, they had to move around in the firecloud forest for no purpose, and the old man who had stepped in here told them that the fruit of the fire should appear in this denser forest growing at higher temperatures.
“Did you hear anything, like some kind of monster spitting his tongue?” A bronze-skinned officer asked.
“Don't be suspicious, there's no such thing as a demon here at such a high temperature.” The woman officer at the end of the line said.
Her forehead has been evaporated with countless sweats by the nascent Asahi sun, which is only in the morning, by noon or afternoon, it will be a fireplace where people can be roasted alive.
“Leaves, do you have any more water? Give me a sip... Leaves? ”
The copper-skinned officer who walked in front turned his head and found his back empty!
He lowered his head and suddenly found traces of dragging on the fallen leaves all over the floor. His face changed and he hurriedly reported to the team ahead.
“Sir Nanjo, the leaves in charge of the rear guard are missing.” Bronze-skinned officers said in panic.
Nanjo raised her hand and made a stop gesture for the whole team, and she looked into the quiet woods.
“Let's go back and find her. She could be out of line. ”
Nanhuang shook his head and was chosen as the elite of Dunhuang Military Region. Not only were they outstanding, but they obeyed military orders, and there was no reason to leave the army without saying anything.
“No, Xu Dong is gone. He should have been looking for us in the front.” Another officer rushed to report.
Nan Zheng's face changed and immediately said to everyone in the team: "I'm afraid there are a lot of enemies. Let's get out of here as soon as possible! ”
“How can we leave our companions without saving the leaves?” The copper-skinned officer said.
“If you want to die here, keep looking for Leaf's body!” Nanjin seemed ruthless.
The order was given, and the walkers immediately chose to leave this overly dense forest.
However, in the course of a hurry, several more strange people disappeared.
At this time, the people realized how terrible this forest is. Their entire team is only a few meters apart. Those who suddenly disappeared were blind in a flash, without making any screaming noises or seeing any blood there. The only thing left was traces of drag in the leaves!
Nanxun is a powerful magician, and he didn't even notice any demonic smell in the vicinity when the team members were in danger of their lives, which could very well indicate that the creature's strength was far above them.
Nan Xuan told the team that people were even more frightened, but the bronze-skinned officer was confused and said, "If it's far more powerful than us, why kill us all with one breath instead of another?" ”
“It's supposed to be enjoying the torture of cat mice, and if we stay there, it's going to kill us one after the other.” Nanjin said with great certainty.
“What the hell is this place? I think we've been killed by demons lurking in this firecloud forest before we found the fruit of the fire. ”
……
The leaves of the firecloud tree like the most poisonous sunlight, including heat in the air, are absorbed by them into the nutrients of the whole tree. The sunlight and heat that each leaf can absorb is limited, and their lifespan ends in about seven days, and new firecloud leaves will replace them. So this flat-summit mountain is filled with these fireman-leaves, like maple leaves, and turned into bright red carpets, where you can feel the warmth and softness of unusual land.
Movan had some regrets when he stepped into this forest of fire clouds. It was a maze, every tree was exactly the same size, even the red leaves everywhere made it impossible to distinguish the direction. At present, Movan could not find the cave that leads to the inside of the mountain.
I was tired, sat down for a moment and wondered if I should go back to the Flame Witch and let her take the lead for herself. It was better than wandering around in the woods with no purpose.
Just getting up, Movan suddenly felt that his hands were a little sticky. He picked them up and suddenly found that his hands were stained with bright red liquid. He put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed them. Movan's face changed.
Blood, as if it were human blood!
Movan hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the leaf mat he was sitting on, which revealed that the color of the leaves in the area was brighter. At first glance, it would be confused with the fiery red colour of the ocean. Who knew there was already an amazing amount of blood here!
Movan searched around and found a broken, bloody hand between thick leaves, still a woman from the hand bone.
Movan is also a common corpse, and he finds this woman not long after she dies, wondering if another magician has arrived here, finding the rest of her body from under the leaves.
It was so easy to find something that looked like a medal, Movan, and that's what identified this woman as a military magician.
“Not only is this forest as difficult as a maze to get out of, but it is also home to many demons who eat people, but I hope they haven't come in yet in the summer, otherwise it will be dangerous.” Movan immediately buried the body.
Burial is a moral that all hunters will follow. Often born and dying outside, hunters often do not know which hunt they will be killed by demons and exposed to the wilderness. So when you see the corpse of a fellow traveler, you don't care about raising your hand and putting it in the ground, which is a guarantee that you will also end up there that day.
It's a ridiculous guarantee, but it also shows that every magician who becomes a hunter is ready to die any minute.
……
Others may also have the idea of seizing the fruit of the fire, but Movan is not very interested. On the one hand, the fiery witch who guards the fruit of the fire is strong and treacherous, the robbery is death, on the other hand, others have saved their own dog's life, and not so much as a heartbroken downward turn.
He just wants to find them as soon as possible, bring some burning land specialties, go back to Shanghai to sell money, change into a good piece of magic, and then go back to abusive school all day to find out for himself grandchildren, that's not unjust enough!!
