my age of magic

Chapter 80

I originally thought that after entering the wasteland, it would be like entering your own back garden. All kinds of magic herbs are everywhere, just waiting for our group of collectors to enter the wasteland and dig them out of the fertile soil with a shovel. The medicinal property can be dried, soaked in potion, or collected in a small bottle. I just need to carefully distinguish what the magic grass is and what the magic grass is. But when I am really in the wasteland When I was in the middle, I realized that there was only endless grass in front of me, and I couldn't even see the shadow of the magical grass in my imagination.

Throughout the afternoon, Qige and I searched for magic grass aimlessly in the wasteland, and we couldn't even find a hemostatic grass.Kurtz told us: To see the most basic magic herbs, you have to go deep into the wilderness for at least three or five days. There are very few edible wild vegetables around the town. Kurtz pointed to the dilapidated grass Said: "Jia, look, there should have been a lot of wild vegetables here, but now the soil has been turned up, and it looks like it was dried at least a month ago, and the roots have been dug up. When I was very young There were two years of lack of rain, and when there was a famine in the tribe, grandma took the women in the tribe and our children to the pasture to dig wild vegetable roots to eat. As long as the ice and snow melt, they don’t even need to germinate. These wild vegetable roots can be regarded as satisfying hunger good stuff."

"Qige, don't bother looking for it. Even the roots of wild vegetables have been dug up by those orcs to satisfy their hunger. How could there be magic herbs left behind? It's all caused by war and famine. Hey! We have to go deep Let's go." I climbed up Yagui Beast with some frustration, put my hand on Katerina's hand and jumped up gently onto the back of Agui Beast.

The sun has slanted to the west, we walked all the way to the southwest, there is no so-called road in the wasteland, we can walk freely on the flat grassland, but the only trouble is that even if we deviate from the original route, we will not You will know that only on clear nights, Kurtz can judge our approximate location based on the star map.I stood on Yagui Beast's back and stretched my waist, stretched my muscles and bones, but was shaken by something dazzling, which made my heart sink suddenly.

At the same time, Kuz also stood up from Yagui Beast's neck. He turned his head and looked thoughtfully at the road he had seen. The vast grass and mounds stretched as far as the eye could see, and no one could be seen at all.But his expression was still very serious, and he told me directly: "Jia, they are coming!"

The so-called them are those noble children headed by Ming Qian. I just didn't expect them to react so quickly, and it took only half a day to catch up with us.I thought that we were on a vast wasteland, even if the route we took was only one degree away, we would lose sight of each other after walking for dozens of miles, but the murderous intent hidden in the wild grass behind us was pointing at us from afar.Kurtz is born with a hunter's keen sense of smell and the ability to predict danger. No beast lurking in the wilderness can hide its own murderous aura. This is where Kurtz can feel.

As for me, after gradually increasing my magic perception, my five senses have also been enhanced a lot, making my vision and hearing better. Just now I was sure that it was a silver button that reflected the sunlight. It will make me alert.I don't think any orc hunters or beasts in the wasteland will have silver buttons!

"He hides very well, he probably doesn't want us to find him, which means that he may be alone!" I said speculatively.

Kurz drove Yagui Beast to a gentle slope, stood at the highest point and looked around, but still got nothing.The person lurking in the dark seemed very vigilant, but hung far behind us, refusing to take a step closer. We could only feel his presence, but didn't know his location.Kurz rubbed the alloy bow on his back a little irritably, and said to me impatiently: "He is following us, he must be waiting for his companions, why don't I go out and shoot him to death!"

I quickly grabbed him and said, "Az, don't be impulsive, I may have a way to deal with him."

...beautiful dividing line...

Finally, before nightfall, our team satisfactorily found a large rock that could shelter from the wind.

Here we prepared our evening meal at a leisurely pace, each eating as much as he could, because there might be a long time without eating.Because we decided to start again after nightfall.Shake off the tail that follows us.We pretended not to notice, and still stopped and stopped along the way, looking for primary magic herbs in the wasteland.It's just that the two people who often jumped off the Yagui beast lost me and were replaced by Katerina, and I was hiding on the Yagui beast to make traps.

As a hunter, Kurtz is equipped with animal traps, but because of the limited luggage of Kurtz, he cannot carry too heavy luggage. I bought some small animal traps for hunting small animals and birds. Such traps are very simple. They were bought with guinea pig meat and blacksmith uncles in the caravan. These small traps are most suitable for catching birds. Because I said before that I wanted to make him a dish of fried sparrows, but I never managed to hunt enough tits for a plate, so Kurz asked the blacksmith uncle in the caravan to make dozens of beast clips the size of a palm. Even hunting wild rabbits like this is a bit laborious. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch them by trapping the front legs. If you are unlucky, the wild rabbits will escape because they are too small.

What is the use of such a trap?There is nothing wrong with making traps, because we have prepared enough magic scrolls before we leave. These magic scrolls are not just focused fire, and I have also worked hard to draw thirteen frost magic scrolls.I carefully tied the frost scroll to the animal trap, carefully placed it on the leeward side of the rock where it is most likely to be stepped on, and sprinkled the animal trap with soil.

This trap of mine is very clumsy. If you don’t look carefully during the day, you will be able to spot the clues at a glance, because after the magic scroll rolled into a roll is covered by floating soil, it looks like a small mound, and the traces of man-made are very obvious. .But at night, even on a full moon night with a bright moon and few stars, it will be difficult to find it, because it is too small.Qige and I have tested the power of the frost scroll. If an ordinary person unfolds the scroll, the icy aura emanating from it will immediately freeze the person to death, but it is only a momentary thing, and then it will slowly recover, Guoguo My sister said that the power of this magic scroll can only injure the frostbite of ordinary people. I didn't expect to injure the noble warriors who hunted us down. Each of them at least wore light armor made of magic antelope skin. The primary monster leather armor also has a certain ability to resist cold and fire. They should be less likely to be injured by traps, but their ancient horses may not be put on such leather boots on the legs of the horses. As long as the horse is injured, Let's see what else he uses to chase us.

But if the follower lurking in the dark dared not approach our camp all night and did not respond accordingly, then I hope that the whole night's journey can get rid of him.

At night, we carefully extinguished the bonfire, and started our journey on the wasteland again, starting our escape.

Under the dark blue starry sky, with the cold wind blowing, I put Katerina and Qige in blankets. Unlike me and Kuz, they have leather jackets made by old Kuru himself. Although the leather jackets look very old Soil, but when I really entered the wasteland, I found it very practical.Old Kuru's thoughtful eyes once again appeared in my mind. He should have something to say to us.

Three hours later, we traveled at least [-] kilometers on the Yagui beast, and in the direction of our night camp, a gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky.Our hearts sank again!Unexpectedly, these aristocrats would have magical fireworks in their hands. This is an artifact that can signal to summon companions at night, which is too deadly for us.

We can only rush to the predetermined location as much as possible!
...beautiful dividing line...

In this vast wilderness, even an old hunter who has lived for decades cannot remember every place clearly. As long as he remembers certain places in the wilderness, he will own the whole wilderness.The little trap of the day before yesterday bought us at least three days to hurry, but we could feel that the danger was getting closer and closer to us again.

Along the road, on the green grass full of tender green hues, traces of hemorrhoids can be seen everywhere, but these hemorrhages that seem to be not old enough are not cared for. Its bitter and pungent taste, even Gazelle would not like it. love to eat it.Along the way, we saw ordinary bison herds several times in succession. Just last night, I finally saw what the wild wolves in the wilderness are.

The scene at that time was very dangerous. A large group of one-horned bison ran wildly across the wasteland less than ten meters away from our Yagui beast. A grain of sand, no matter how insignificant it is, in front of hundreds of bison, even if I am covered with a full-body steel armor, I will be mad by this group of wild cattle in a few seconds. Bison herds are trampled into mince.Afterwards, a few adult wind wolves led hundreds of wild wolves and ran past the cattle. At that moment, I even saw a pair of dark green eyes looking at us. Kurz was standing alone in Yagui. On the top of the beast's head, holding an alloy bow like a crescent moon, watching the group of wild wolves nervously. In the end, those wind wolves who had become monsters did not change their targets, and still followed the group of wild cattle.On the contrary, among the hundreds of wild wolves that followed, dozens of gray wolves separated and surrounded us. Those wolf eyes that became like green fireflies in the dark night made me tremble nervously, wishing to use all my strength He gripped the silver-plated shotgun tightly in his hand.

I stand on the back of the Yagui beast, with my calf tightly attached to the leather saddle to keep my body balanced. At this time, I can feel the Yagui beast below trembling. When it sees such a large group of wild wolves At that time, the fear from the bottom of my heart made it impossible to take a step forward. Yagui beasts are also herbivores that live in groups. In the wilderness, Yagui beasts in large groups will not be too afraid of wild wolves, but Yagui beasts alone Returning to the beast is often a delicious meal for the wild wolves.

In this hazy night, dozens of wild wolves who had left the team rushed towards us desperately. I could only see them rushing towards us at an extremely fast speed like illusory shadows in the dark night.The monster-level wind wolf leader who was leading the wolves to chase the bison also noticed the abnormal situation of the rear wolves. He just let out a long wolf howl, but it had no effect on the dozens of wild wolves who had left the team. He didn't stay long, and gradually disappeared into the night behind the bison herd.
