my age of magic

Chapter 170 Chapter 170
The bonfire was full of stench, and the heads of the swamp zombies as big as mine watermelons were neatly piled up, each green and shiny, reflecting the luster of oil under the firelight, just like piled up on the side of the road in early summer watermelon stand.A few beast girls with thick linen veils on their heads sat in front of the zombie heads, holding a sharp ax made by the dwarves in their hands. The ax kept chopping on the zombie heads. A series of "click" sounds.

A small wooden box was placed next to the bonfire among them, and it contained many magic cores that had just been found from zombie skulls.Whenever the beast girls found the magic core, they would cheer in a low voice, then wiped the magic core covered with corpse fluid and threw it into the small wooden box.

The fire gathering scroll was pressed by several stones so that it was not blown away by the wind, but the flame was burning tenaciously on the scroll. Even the strong night wind could not blow out the elemental fire.The shattered zombie skull was thrown under the side slope and rolled away a long way.

I crawled out of the sleeping bag and rubbed my sleepy eyes. It was a burst of eager heartbeat that woke me up from my deep sleep. That weird feeling made me feel uncomfortable all over, just like when I just entered the Beilu Wasteland. It always feels like someone is watching me, and danger is about to come.This feeling is always on time, but I can't fall back to sleep anyway.

During the day, we finally cleared a road covered with zombie corpses on the windmill hills, and finally cleaned up the swamp zombies on our way forward, so we collected a large number of zombie skulls, nearly a thousand in number.There are countless zombie corpses left along the way. Originally, they wanted to simply refine corpse fire oil, but unfortunately there were not enough clay pots, so they had to give up this plan.

They just collected the zombie skulls in linen bags, put them together, and asked a few beast girls who were willing to do this to smash the skulls and take out the magic core inside.No one wants to be on the road tomorrow with those stinky zombie skulls.

No one wants to smash these dirty zombie skulls against the stench. The smell sticks to their hands, and even if they are washed repeatedly with water, it is difficult to completely remove the smell.But when Kurtz proposed that every time he found a magic core, he would get an extra secret sausage, this problem was no longer a problem.

We have reached the edge of the windmill hills before nightfall, and we will go further to the Beigou Valley excavation site. In fact, there is no need to detour to the Beigou Valley excavation site to get to Drowning Park, but we want to go there to get a few mouthfuls Big iron pots, only the mines there have top-notch blacksmiths.They used to be called blacksmiths, but now they can only be regarded as miners, a group of gray dwarf miners.

Before nightfall, worried that those swamp zombies would sneak into the camp, not only arranged for the female beast warriors to take turns to watch the night, but also lit a few scrolls of focusing fire around the camp, so that the entire camp was surrounded by light, I crawled out of my sleeping bag and got out of Sister Guoguo's tent.

Sister Guoguo was sleeping soundly curled up in the quilt, and like a civet cat, I lifted a corner of the tent curtain and crawled out.

Suddenly a cold wind blew, and I found that the bonfire in the northwest corner of the camp had gone out.It feels like the mana on the scroll of Gathering Fire is rapidly draining, and then the scroll loses all of its mana at once, and then it goes out, otherwise, no matter how strong the wind is, there is no way to blow out the magic power on the scroll. The fire of the fire, it was originally the fire of magic.

I was planning to find out what happened, when I suddenly heard a muffled groan from far away, followed by the beast girl's scolding, followed by two more screams, this series of sounds spread out in this silent night for a long time. Far away, even the sound of the wind and the crackling of the zombie's skull could not cover up the misery of the sound.A figure suddenly emerged from the nearby tent. In the dark night, I could only vaguely see him wrapped in gray linen, as if he could blend into the night.If I hadn't seen the very special scorching bow in his hand, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized him at all, but doesn't Viru have the habit of taking off his clothes when he sleeps at night?
I saw someone chasing after the sound, and I quickly followed behind.

At this time, Qiangbach's steady voice came from behind me, and he said to me in surprise, "Jia, why are you up?"

"I just wanted to get up..."

I turned around and was about to explain to Qiangbach, but Qiangbach had already picked me up quickly, and quickly threw me aside. At this time, a gray-white figure appeared out of thin air on my original position, blurred and invisible. It was clear what it was, but it held a huge bone sickle in its hand, and a second after I left that position, it slashed past my neck tightly, and a trace of blood flowed down from my neck.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp arrow flew past my eyes and pierced the white figure. The figure suddenly swayed and disappeared into the night before the eyes of Jambach and me. At this moment, I found that my body looked like A few big holes were leaked, and half of the magic power contained in each node in the body was sucked away like running water.

At this time, two consecutive arrows were shot in the darkness, but unfortunately they missed.

Viru chased after him out of breath, and glanced at Jambach, who stood up from the grass, and I was so scared that I turned pale. If Jambach hadn't reacted fast enough, I might have been killed. The white figure was cut into two sections.

"What's that?" I suppressed the fear in my heart and asked Janbach next to me.

Chambach followed Vilu and walked straight forward. The two looked very dignified. Seeing that I was still following them at this time, Chambach said to me directly: "Call your sister, this is the killer who came out of the swamp of death. They Accustomed to hiding in the dark night, it is difficult to deal with!"

I thought it was true that the two of you thought I was a burden. I saw that the two of them cooperated tacitly and moved very quickly. It was really useless for me to follow behind. I didn’t bring out the silver-plated shotgun. I was really guilty, so I turned around. Running to Sister Guoguo's tent, the beast girls who smashed the skulls of the swamp zombies in front of the bonfire were already pale with fright.

Kurtz ran over from under the dark grassy slope, wearing only a pair of leather armor pants and holding an alloy bow in his hand. He asked when he saw me, "Did you find the death scythe?"

"Huh? The guy with the huge scythe is called Death Scythe? That name is so apt!" I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the monster that attacked me had a very domineering name.

Sister Guoguo said from behind me: "He also has a unified title, ghost! He is an assassin in the undead clan. He is good at absorbing the opponent's magic power in battle. He has the skill of 'silence'. He can be regarded as the nemesis of mages!"

Sister Guoguo got up from the tent in a hurry, and she only put on a magic coat over her nightgown, her hair was loose, and her snow-white feet were exposed outside. In the dark night, she radiated crystal light by the firelight.Seeing that I was going to run out with Kurtz, looking for the death scythe that might be lurking in the camp, she grabbed me.

Whispered softly in my ear: "There is nothing more attractive to those guys than a magician. They are very sensitive to magic power, and naturally like to approach creatures with strong magic elements, and suck their magic power!"

Then he said to me: "Swamp Zombie and Death Scythe, these two undead monsters, make up for each other's shortcomings in the swamp. This is the real death swamp. Even wolf cavalry can easily die from these deaths." In the sneak attack of the sickle."

I have never understood how terrible these swamp zombies are, so that the entire orc tribe had to abandon their homes and flee.Orc werewolves are reckless and fierce by nature, not afraid of death, and they are natural hunters. It stands to reason that they have lived on the edge of the dead swamp for so many years, and they are already familiar with the characteristics of swamp zombies. For these zombies, javeliners and bandits Archers with armor-piercing arrows are definitely their nemesis. Even the Raitu tribe would be forced to leave their homes, which is a bit unbelievable.

Now I finally know that these ghost creature death scythes are the most terrifying. If there are always some such killers lurking in the dark night, waiting to harvest life, no matter how strong the will will be, it will gradually collapse over time.

At this time, Gerile ran out from the direction Kurz ran in disheveled clothes. Her large wheat-colored skin was exposed. Seeing that I was looking at her curiously, I didn't care about the part of her leg exposed under the leather armor. , went directly to Kurz's side and whispered: "Two female warriors in charge of the night watch died, and they were fatal with one knife. They should have been killed by those death scythes!"

At this moment, I suddenly felt the magic element in my body be abnormally active, and that indescribable sense of panic hit my heart. Kurz has the legendary talent of the orcs 'survival instinct', and he also foresaw the danger at this moment , looked behind me in horror, and behind me was Sister Guoguo.

I quickly turned around and got behind Sister Guoguo, and there was no time to react. At this moment, a giant scythe of bones had condensed in the dark air. I was in a panic, and there was nothing to block it. Li randomly took out a spiked dagger, and held it up without thinking.

The giant scythe of white bones has been chopped down obliquely, and it just hit the mace dagger raised in my hand. My strength is much weaker than that of the death scythe, and the dagger is not a good defense There is almost no obstacle to the weapon I used. The bone scythe of the death scythe was on my shoulder. Fortunately, the material of the wolf-tooth dagger is hard enough to resist the blade of the bone scythe. The long sickle head slanted in from my shoulder blade, not counting the severed three ribs, but the sharp scythe tip had already penetrated into my abdominal cavity. At this moment, the pain was so painful that I could hardly speak.

I finally felt what it was like for those zombies to be thrown on the magic antelope horn javelin during the day.

At this time, Kurtz shouted hoarsely and mournfully: "Jia!"

I relied on my keen magical perception, feeling the abnormal fluctuations of the surrounding magical elements, and realized that the danger came from behind me, while Kurz relied purely on his own talent.He discovered this dangerous situation almost at the same time as me, but he was a bit slower than me after all, because he chose to draw a feather arrow at the first time. When I had turned around and ran behind Sister Guoguo, he Under Sister Guoguo's amazed eyes, she was shooting her bow and arrow at Sister Guoguo, and she was facing Sister Guoguo with full momentum.

Kurtz saw with his own eyes the scythe that appeared out of nowhere cut on my shoulder, and his feathered arrow was shot out at this moment.

The sound of him yelling my name came into my ears along with the sound of his feathered arrow piercing the air. The feathered arrow of the fine steel arrow flew past Sister Guoguo's pearl earrings, between her neck Cut off a messy strand of her hair, passed it straight through, and nailed it to the chest of the death scythe.

"boom!"

That was the sound of countless ice cubes shattering, and it was transmitted directly above my head, and at the same time, there was an endless chill.

Damn Kurtz, what he pulled out was a magic rune arrow. This was Qiger’s last night in Gludin Town, the last gift left to Kurtz. This is not a superb magic skill or a mysterious formula. , nor is it any powerful weapon or precious magic material, but an idea, or even a conjecture.

Miss Qi thinks that since the frost scroll has such unexpected power, and can also be drawn on the palm-sized magic parchment, she puts forward a point of view: since the magic scroll can be installed on the beast clip, it can be made into a simple Magic trap, if the magic parchment is processed to be lighter and thinner, and the scroll drawn with the frost magic circle is rolled behind the tip of the feather arrow, wouldn't it become a magic arrow?
Well, on the last night, I worked with Qige in her temporary laboratory all night long. On the eve of dawn, she changed into a luxurious court dress and boarded the airship, and returned to Green Capital. I stood on the hillside and burst into tears.But before again, we actually made three magic arrows.

This feather arrow is one of the three magic arrows.

My whole body was covered with a thick layer of frost, including the entire back of Guoguo sister, and the white ghost floating above my head, hiding under the black tattered cloak, was covered in frost. It was covered with icicles, and it let out a miserable scream, which hurt my eardrums. I think it probably knew that it was in danger.

A flare floated from Sister Guoguo's hand. I thought at least she could use magic skills like "Frost Arrow"!Unexpectedly, she just fired a magic flare into the sky at this time, and the whole camp was bright as day in an instant.

Only then did I truly see the appearance of the death scythe. The whole thing was a half-skeleton frame wrapped in a black shabby cloak. There were no bones below the pelvis, only the pale bones of the upper body, and the eye sockets on the skull. Two clusters of faint blue soul fires were burning, and I could feel its terror from the two clusters of flames. Its entire right hand had turned into a giant scythe of bones, but it was inserted into my body at this time, and I didn't know pull it out.

Under the illumination of the flares that were as bright as daylight, the death sickle actually emitted blue smoke, as if it was on fire. The tingling sensation made the death sickle scream, but every joint of the body was covered with Frost, unable to move at all.

In the darkness, a white light flashed, and an arrow was directly nailed to the death scythe's head.

Qian Bach also rushed to my side at this time, he even dropped the mace in his hand, and directly held the scythe handle of the death scythe.He was obviously worried that the scythe would stab me again when the death scythe was struggling to death.

"Dolenlie!" Qiangbach shouted loudly. At this time, the other hand of the death scythe grabbed Qiangbach, and was blocked by the shield in his other hand.
