my age of magic

Chapter 682 182. Hunting the Mane Beast

Qige's mood was not greatly affected by the fact that the Dragon Society hunted many second-level monsters and obtained a large amount of precious leather.

Of course Adele doesn't know at this moment. Before I appeared in the imperial capital, Qige didn't have much resistance to dancing the first dance with the Prince of Wales at the Golden Harvest Festival. For Qige, being with the Prince of Wales Appearing at festivals and celebrations is precisely the duty that a princess-to-be needs to perform.

She would like to have a candlelight dinner with the Prince of Wales in her spare time occasionally, or go to the Grand Opera House to watch an opera, or go to the ball at the Duke's mansion, but this is only when she stays in the laboratory. When she is bored, she will think about pushing open the big thick iron door, stepping out to get some fresh air, looking at the colorful flowers in the garden, looking at the blue sky above her head, sitting in the residence by Weiyang Lake Quietly looking at the clear lake.

In the past few years, Qige, like a magic lunatic, locked himself in the laboratory of the Magic Research Institute, and made countless achievements in the field of magic pharmacy.But no one knew that the door of the magic laboratory was not imprisoning Qige's body, but like a thick turtle shell, imprisoning her countless beautiful memories and fading youth.

Until I rode in a carriage, like a country bag from the countryside, and appeared in the imperial capital.Like a helpless child, surrounded by members of the Imperial Capital Gang at the entrance of the Magic Research Institute.Then, the torment, grievance, longing, and those sweet and sour old memories that Qige suffered from the long wait spewed out all of a sudden, and she lost control completely and dragged me back to her like crazy. In her lab, it was as if she was dragged into her long-sealed heart.

However, there are still many obstacles between me and Qige. At this time, what Qige hopes most is that someone can take the initiative to stand up and attend some royal activities for her. Adele's bet is exactly what Qige wants. Can't ask for it.

For the dragon blood mage Adele who appeared at this moment, Qige couldn't wait to kiss her forehead and send her some blessings.

The only thing that makes Qige feel embarrassed is not the loss of the chance to dance the first dance, but the bet with Adele, and the title of loser is unbearable.

……

Every day our team leaves the stream and goes deep into the Black Forest to find some rare magical herbs.

There are many unknown magical herbs on the Yero plane, which is one of the reasons for Qiglai Yero plane. She wants to find some new magic herbs and develop some special magic potions, which can be used in a short period of time. Time-effective magic potions that increase warrior strength, agility, body resistance, etc.In order to increase the weight of victory in the war.

However, for Qige's research on new magic potions, I have some resistance in my heart. Those nightmare-like experimental processes gave me an illusion that maybe I will not necessarily die on the battlefield or in a hospital bed one day in the future Instead, he died on the test bench of the Qige magic potion laboratory.

Entering the depths of the Black Forest, there are no longer those muddy swamps here. Although towering trees still block the entire sky, the road in the forest has become much easier. There are all kinds of novel herbs growing in the forest Plants and low bushes.

Qige squatted in the middle of a piece of staghorn grass, looking suspiciously at the traces of being harvested here. Under the leaves that were cut off by a sharp weapon, new green leaves have sprouted. However, it seems that the collector just A small cluster of staghorn grass was collected.

"Did another adventure group happen to pass by here?" Lucia bent down, her hands resting on her knees, her long snow-white legs stood straight, and her long golden hair like a waterfall fell down. She tilted her head and looked at Qige. asked.

Qige shook his head, and said only one sentence: "This kind of staghorn grass is not worth much in the market. In the herbal medicine market, its value is not even comparable to those hemostatic grass."

"It's the aborigines, only they don't want to destroy the growing environment of these magical herbs, because they expect to find them when they come back next time. They regard this forest as their back garden, so we want to Be careful, it's best not to disturb them." Qige said to Lucia firmly.

She patted the grass clippings on her hands, stood up and glanced at me who looked a little bored standing under the big tree, brushed my smooth long hair, and said to me: "There are traces of mane beasts here, you If you are bored, we will hunt around with Takama, and if we can hunt a maned beast, we will use its leg meat for dinner."

I said to Qige and Lucia: "Okay! Then you must pay attention to safety!"

Immediately came some spirits, hunting in the jungle is a very interesting thing.

Lucia smiled slightly standing beside Qige, and said to me: "The person who needs this reminder should be yourself!"

Seeing that when Lucia spoke to me, the smile on her face was like a white flower blooming in spring, Hiram and Josenna's face would become very bad, as long as something about Lucia was involved, they would It will become a little sensitive, and the eyes that look at me reveal an unspoken jealousy.

I have never been quite sure what Lucia was thinking. Standing between Yingli and Qige, who was she more partial to?

In a depression not far away, there are lush sweet potato vines all over, and there is a large piece of wild sweet potato growing there.

When our team just passed by there, we found that the slope was messed up by a huge mane beast. All those juicy and delicious bulbous root potatoes were swallowed by the mane beast, leaving behind a few piles The stinky feces left some footprints, and I don't know where to hide and sleep.

I took out the thorium long-barreled shotgun and carried it on my shoulder, and together with the lizard maid Takama, I followed the messy hoofprints left by the maned beast...

……

Hunting and killing some low-level monsters in the Black Forest, but Qige prefers to hunt poultry, because the meat of those poultry monsters tastes more delicious, maybe she wants to change the taste occasionally, maybe.

Takama and I walked into the black forest along the footprints left by the mane beast.

After only walking more than 500 meters, I found that the hoof prints on the ground were actually separated to the two sides. Takama and I looked at each other, and Takama made a gesture for me to split up, so I turned directly to the left. Follow the footprints left by the mane beast.

After walking a long way along the trail, I finally found a flat-mouthed cave in a gap under a large rock.A low grunting sound came from the cave. I guessed that this should be the lair of the mane beast. I looked up and looked around, and the maid Takama had already disappeared from my sight.

The entrance of the cave is covered with a plant called flytrap. This small herbaceous plant has a very special ability. It has the blood of piranhas, that is, it can catch mosquitoes and flies.

A flytrap seed takes root and sprouts in the soil, and after ten cotyledons grow out one after another, a very gorgeous flower blooms on it. The flower is shaped like an orange pointed leather shoe.The color is very bright, and there is a sweet smell of pollen, which will attract the surrounding mosquitoes and flies to the opening of the flower, and a poisonous honey juice is secreted from the stamen, which is just enough to kill These flies.

Mane beasts have a strong smell of grease. Although they are also low-level monsters with magical abilities, they can't get rid of the bites of mosquitoes and flies. Therefore, mane beasts like to dig caves under rocks with flytraps. Warm in winter and cool in summer, there are no mosquito bites, it is an ideal nest.

I think that to deal with a mane beast, Takama doesn't need to rush over to cooperate with me. I can use my own strength to catch an adult mane beast.

The mane beast's leather is not worth much, the only thing that is valuable is its two fangs with natural magic lines and the magic core in its head, so I don't need to worry about whether the spell will hurt its fur, as long as it is Just lure it into a trap and kill it. Anyway, I just want its legs and fangs. If you are lucky, you will have a magic core. That thing is hard to come by.

So, I started to set up 'Frost' traps and 'Frost Nova' traps at the entrance of the cave, and buried those small animal traps with magic scrolls under the leaves of dead trees, and then erected two traps on both sides of the cave entrance. An ice wall with a length of ten meters can force the mane beast to run outside according to the route I specified, and it can't avoid the traps along the way.

After everything was ready, I stood in front of the mane beast's lair, and the four-meter-high ice guns on both sides stretched out, forming an extremely narrow ice corridor.

Then a ball of 'twilight lighting technique' floated in the palm of my hand, and a bit of magical light slowly floated into the extremely dark cave. With the faint light, I saw some grease and hairs on the cave wall, but the cave It was very dry inside. A maned beast with a size of more than five meters was lying in the depths of the cave, sleeping soundly. The two huge and white fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth were terrifying.

I quickly drew a light blue hexagram magic circle in front of me, and as I recited the spell, a huge ice gun was suspended above my head, and then a wall of water was suspended above the entrance of the cave. The other holds a 'Lightning Arrow' in one hand, and that's all set.

As I finished reciting the spell in my mouth, the ice spear above my head was guided by my fingertips, like a sharp arrow, wrapped in a mighty force, and flew towards the maned beast sleeping soundly in the lair. , Frost flakes were constantly condensing around the ice gun, and they kept falling downwards. It turned out that the passing ground was covered with a thin layer of frost and snow.

The maned beast, which was sleeping soundly, seemed to feel the cold murderous aura the moment the ice gun flew into the lair. It suddenly opened its big blood-red eyes, and blurry shadows flashed before it. In response to any reaction, an ice spear pierced his hind leg directly, and immediately, a wound was as deep as the bone. The ice spear was shattered by the huge force of the mane beast's leg at this moment.

The bloody wound was covered with a layer of crystal clear ice, but it did not bleed.

However, after the ice gun burst into ice powder, the entire cave became extremely cold, and a thick layer of frost also condensed on the injured hind legs of the mane beast, and the mane beast let out an angry cry Roaring, it rushed out of the cave like a tank, and its stubby lower limbs stomped on the ground very powerfully.Its body rubbed against the thick earth wall, and the entire boulder and the nearby ground shook violently.

When the mane beast's foot-long white fangs emerged from the cave, a wall of water fell from its head, cooling it down.

My fingertips shone with a light blue magic light, and the magic lines formed a simple magic circle.

After finishing the spell in my mouth, I let out a 'condensation' from my throat!
The water curtain that fell on the maned beast instantly condensed into ice, freezing it in the ice wall.

The mane beast took advantage of its strong body, and after only a moment, the entire layer of ice wall that surrounded it quickly cracked, and then turned into a piece of ice powder on the mane beast's body. Under the icy mist, the mane beast recovered. Mobility, it roared angrily, one hoof kept digging the soil under its feet, and rushed towards me frantically.

At this time, its mane was covered with pure white frost, like an ice and snow winter beast in the extreme north. It stepped on the 'frost' trap and burst out the breath of ice again. Unmoved, he just rushed forward blindly.

I stood only 20 meters away from the entrance of the cave without any fear, and looked at it coldly.

The mane beast stepped on my trap again...

"Frost Nova"

The huge ice ring magic spread, freezing the mane beast in place again. The mane beast looked at the huge ice circle imprisoning its body, lowered its head and hit it hard with its white fangs, which were more than a foot long. Huge blocks of ice are bursting, and the 'Frost Nova' cannot completely imprison him in place.

I know that the only chance I have is this moment, and when the mane beast is free again, its fangs will easily pierce through my leather armor.

So I threw out the 'arc' held in my left hand, and the arc kept flashing in the air, with an unimaginable trajectory, flashing and jumping non-stop, and rushed to the mane beast. The moment his body touched the arc, he trembled violently.

That arc triggered the 'paralysis' effect for the first time.

The maned beast temporarily loses its ability to move.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, I took the Shura battle ax and hid my body in the ice mist under the cover of the frost breath.

Activated the magic skill 'Shadow Cloak', instantly the body disappeared into a blurred black mist, and moved to the side of the mane beast's body little by little, and then I held the oil lamp in one hand, and raised it with the other hand Raising the Shura battle axe, he looked fiercely at its thick neck.

The moment the ax blade touched its neck, I emerged from the black mist. A black hurricane erupted from the axe. The huge force caused the Shura ax to tear the thick fur of the mane beast, as if cutting into it. In a piece of soft tofu, the Shura ax with the effects of 'bleeding' and 'tearing' unexpectedly directly chopped off the huge head of the mane beast.

A bloody arrow shot out from the maned beast's neck.

The huge head fell to the ground and rolled far away.

The body of the mane beast collapsed beside me like a wall.

Dressed roughly, I rubbed the blood-soaked Shura battle ax on the mane beast's body covered in ice slag, then threw the Shura battle ax aside, and took out a short dagger with the 'sharp' attribute , and began to remove the four legs of the mane beast little by little, preparing for today's dinner.
