Chapter 55 Accident (Happy Tanabata everyone~)
Without Hanson's reminder to enter the primeval forest, the adventurers of the adventure team were nervous. Even Hilton temporarily forgot about being jealous of the magicians, and took out the magical code to keep on guard. After all, nothing is important to his own life.
The future Super Magician Lord pulled out the long sword from his waist and pretended to slash around. After all, Rob was a sixth-level quasi-magic. Although he had no magician's sense of elements would not disappear because of this. If there were monsters like two-headed demon wolf approaching nearby, Rob could sense them one step ahead of time with the fluctuations of magic elements in the air.
Of course, there is not only such a way for high-level mages to seek enemies, but other methods require corresponding spells to support them, such as the True Vision Eye and the Audit Strengthening Technique. These are the two most commonly used spells by magicians when alerting. They consume less demons and have good results, which are very popular among mages.
In addition, the quasi-magic had some secret skills he had figured out by himself, but unfortunately he could only stare at him without a staff. Relying on his extraordinary perception, Rob vaguely noticed that there was a group of small things in the north of the team, and he had been wandering around them since the moment they entered the forest.
Judging from the fluctuations of magic elements, it should be a group of small tree monsters. This is a small monster living in a tree hole. Its attack power is relatively weak, probably equivalent to a twelve or thirteen-year-old child in humans. However, the small tree monster masters a magic called the Whisper of the Land of the Forest. Although this magic will not cause substantial damage to the adventurer, it is really annoying.
Last year, this mere first-level magic defeated petrochemical and gravity techniques, and was finally selected as the "Top Ten Most Disgusting Magic of the Year".
After being hit by this magic, you will have hallucinations, just as all the trees around you suddenly speak and hold a special crosstalk show in your ear. Those with poor psychological quality will be directly broken. Even if a strong-willed person is disturbed by a group of lively trees in their heads, it will be uncomfortable. The little tree demon relies on this trick to scare the workers who go up the mountain to keep their nests.
Perhaps environmentalists will think that having these little things in the forest is not bad. If you think so, you will be deceived by their thin body and innocent appearance.
In addition to teasing and scaring lumberjacks and any guys who threaten them, the little tree demon also has many bad habits. Sometimes they will also attack the unlucky ghosts who are alone. The little tree demon will first harass you with a whisper in the forest. If you feel scared and run around the mountains, the little tree demon will happily follow behind and throw stones while screaming, consuming your physical strength and continuing to torture your nerves.
Until your strength is exhausted, they will rush up and knock you out of the ground with the advantage of numbers. Then take out the sharp stone pieces that have been ground, carefully cut off the meat on your body piece by piece, and distribute it to each little tree demon who participates in the "hunting". They take the meat home and wear it with straw ropes, hang it on the treetops and air-dried, and then put it in the cellar as their reserve grain for winter.
Some little tree monsters rich in artistic cells will also carve your bones into works of art and place them on the head of the bed to cultivate sentiment in their spare time.
The elves have no favoritism for these despicable neighbors. Any forest where the elves live will have a forest patrol team that is specifically responsible for cleaning up the nearby little tree demons. They will dispatch many people every winter to search for all tree holes within a radius of hundreds of miles. As long as they find the little tree demon, they will basically hang themselves directly on nearby trees and never leave any living mouths.
Therefore, the number of small tree demons near the Elf Cohabitation settlement once decreased sharply, but later these cunning little things learned to fight guerrilla. After the patrol cleared an area, they moved in secret. When the patrol came back, they moved to another area that had just been cleared to avoid the pursuit.
They will observe the hanged people in the trees, judge when the last sweep of the area was based on the freshness of the corpses, and how long it will take for the next sweep. In addition, they have strong reproductive ability, which has brought great trouble to the surrounding elves.
However, the little tree demons are all guys who bully the weak and fear the strong. After being wiped out by the elves for so many years, they have never launched any actual resistance. At most, they will attack one or two single elves civilians. When they encounter a patrol team, they will only flee in a swarm.
Not to mention the adventure team head-on, the quasi-magic master did not remind others of these little things after discovering them. In fact, as long as the future Super Magic Lord is not a fatal danger, he is playing soy sauce all the way. When Lolo and his group of people tried hard to cut monsters, the little minion acted as a cheerleader on the side to cheer them on.
Adventurers are called the outer city, which is mainly based on the original forest, and the other side of the city wall is called the inner city. The route chosen by the team is now through many adventurers who have explored before, and the safest route from the outer city to the inner city.
Of course, the so-called safety is only relative, and it does not mean that you will not encounter wild monsters along the way. In places like dungeons, unless you have powerful perception or other special means like Rob, it is impossible to encounter a monster without encountering it. In fact, even the future Super Magician almost capsized in the afternoon.
The team was attacked by a ground-burning beetle not long ago. The shell of this thing is comparable to metal. It is very difficult to cut it. When it is besieged, it will run down the ground. The elf archer and the old thief struggled for a long time before luring it to a slightly harder land, intending to solve this problem here in one go.
As usual, the quasi-magic master paddled and climbed onto a nearby rock to guide the country.
As a result, an accident happened at this moment! On a banyan tree about ten steps away beside Rob, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the lush branches and leaves, as if an arrow pounced on the magician's neck - it was a place where the chain armor could not protect it.
All this happened so quickly, and everyone's attention was still focused on the beetle that was trapped in the beast. No one would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the danger would come to the boy not far away.
Lolo did not forget her promise and kept some attention on her little follower, but when she realized that it was too late, she didn't even have time to warn the boy.
At the critical moment, Rob's extraordinary sense of fighting smell saved his life.
He obviously did not look back, but at this moment, the magician suddenly had a warning in his heart.
Survival Manual 1 - Never doubt your instinct!
Suddenly he was attacked. Although he didn't even see the attacker clearly, the boy subconsciously used the movements he did during training, and the sword completed a back block in an extremely ugly posture.
With a sound, something hit the sword. The thing was not big, but the impact was very strong. The magician's wrist hurt so much that he almost couldn't hold the weapon in his hand.
And the thing failed to fall to the ground with one blow, and then everyone could see clearly what it looked like.
It was a small emerald green snake, less than five inches long and had gray patterns on its abdomen, which was difficult to detect when hidden among the leaves.
"It's the Sapata Flying Snake." The elf archer recognized the attacker at a glance, and then nailed it to the ground with an arrow.
It can only be said that the quasi-magic master's luck is really a bit unforgettable. This little snake that almost killed Rob does not belong to a monster. Although it moves very fast and is quite toxic, it will not use any magic itself. In other words, the boy cannot sense its existence through the fluctuations of the surrounding elements.
