God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 61 The Strange Thing in the Deep Valley
Killed the beast at last?Ada felt relieved, but when she wanted to take back the spear, she couldn't pull it back no matter what!Taking a closer look, I found that the wolf-shaped beast with only one breath left bit the tip of the spear with all its strength!
The old power has passed away, and the new power has not yet been born. Those wolf-shaped monsters are really good at seizing the opportunity!
If it was an ordinary mercenary, this blow would cost at least one arm, but Ada jumped back unhurriedly. Although she threw away the spear in her hand without hesitation, she took advantage of This opportunity, draw out the long sword at her left waist!

A half-moon-shaped light flashed, and four or five wolf-shaped monsters flew out immediately, and an unpleasant bloody smell spread instantly!
"Array, don't let these beasts approach us!"

Ada was yelling, and the others were doing the same, but this time they encountered more monsters than just those in front of them!
"Whoosh whoosh..."

More black shadows rushed towards us from all directions.At this juncture, a large circle of flames suddenly flew up from the ground!The height of the flames was not high, but the momentum was very violent. After a while, a defensive circle of fire walls was formed around the crowd!
Naturally, those wolf-shaped monsters that swooped over couldn't turn back in mid-air. Even if there were some that could pass through the fire circle, they would still ignite like charcoal!

The howling of wolves is endless!It was impossible for Ed's magic to burn these mutated wolf-shaped monsters to death in one fell swoop, but with such a layer of defensive interference, it bought precious time for the surrounding mercenaries!

The mercenaries were slaughtering all the wolf-shaped beasts that dared to break into the firewall, but Ed had nothing to do.

The wall of fire technique is indeed only level three, but Ed has unleashed the power of level five or six magic. It has to be said that his magic has really improved a lot recently!
There is a layer of flames for protection, which is of great help to the mercenaries, but at the same time, the flames also interfere with everyone's realization, making them unable to see how many wolf-shaped monsters there are indeed outside!

"Save your energy and prepare for a long battle!" Ada's voice came again.At the same time, a circle of fire walls rose again on the periphery of the surrounding fire walls that had been greatly reduced! "

Good job! "

Ada praised, but the long sword in her hand swung more and more hastily!Having Ed's magic gave her a lot of peace of mind, but the fact that there were only a dozen people on her side couldn't be offset by magic!
Fighting more with less, I am most afraid of this physical consumption.At this moment, she found that her body was not enveloped by a soft white light again, and the fatigue in her body seemed to have dissipated a lot!
This is the first-level arcane stamina recovery technique that surprised Ed at the beginning. This is the first time he has used this magic on others, but judging from the effect, it seems to be very good!
Plumes of smoke rose nearby.In the air, the smell of burnt animals and blood are intertwined.The breeze blows, and this kind of air inhales the nasal cavity, which will make people feel a burning discomfort!

Ed sat lazily on the ground, as if he had no time to recover his magic power.No matter what, those wolf-shaped monsters finally repelled them.

Ada held a long gun, but her face was always gloomy.Although escaping from the dead is a happy thing, the fact that ten people have been reduced makes everyone who is alive unhappy!

Come to Ed.Although Ada's face was full of tiredness, her eyes were sincere. "It's all up to you this time, Ed Sterling."

"You're welcome, I'm just curious, were there such a large number of monsters in this valley before?"

"How is that possible!" Ada screamed. "I just sent people to explore this valley three days ago. If I knew that the mutated monsters in the valley had reached this scale, I wouldn't let my subordinates enter the valley in batches if I was killed!"

"Then you led the team personally for the operation three days ago?"

"It's my wife's deputy, Josh, leading the team..."

Speaking of this, Ada seemed to understand what Ed meant.There was a sharp cold light in her eyes, and she asked condescendingly: "Ed Sterling, what do you mean by that? Josh has been with my mother for four or five years, and he has never been at fault!"

Ada was yelling, but Ed was watching with cold eyes.Suspecting that there is something wrong with his subordinates is really annoying, but he always feels that even if ten of his subordinates have just been sacrificed, Ada shouldn't be so fierce about this problem, right?

It took a long time for Ada to come back to her senses as if she had finished venting, and she brushed her hair habitually.Said: "Sorry, let you watch a joke. Guys, is it almost done? Let's go!"

Ada strode ahead to lead the way. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ada pulled over a mercenary who seemed to be kind.

"Dude, is your head stimulated by something, and are you usually restless?"

"Who knows! Maybe it's my aunt who came!" The rough mercenary said bluntly. "Speaking of which, since the news that all the bishops of the Holy See were executed in the city, our head has been not quite right."

Ed couldn't help but feel moved. Ada had explained the origin of her ring very well before, but obviously that was not the whole truth.

※※※

Maybe it was luck, after walking for less than half an hour with a group of people, they joined the group of mercenaries where Borg was.

Like Ed and the others, this group of people also encountered a monster attack. Unfortunately, this group of people had worse luck than Ed and the others. The monster they encountered was the rare fifth-order monster in this valley—the Flamehoofed Ox!When Ed and the others arrived, there were only four people left in the group besides Borg.

Borg sat on the ground and also appeared to have suffered less serious injuries.Seeing everyone coming, he raised his hand and threw a fire magic crystal to Ed.

"This is……"

"This is my uncle's spoils of war. Just to let you see, everyone tried to avoid the head of the monster. Why is this magic crystal so muddy?"

Ed took out the alchemy instrument and examined it carefully.Obviously, this is a straight fifth-order fire-type magic crystal, but what makes him strange is that in addition to the abundant fire-type magic power, this magic crystal even has a large number of dark, accurate It is the magic power of the undead!
In addition to the light attribute, the dark attribute can indeed devour the magic power of other attributes.But in such a magic crystal, there will be magic power that does not belong to the attributes of the monster in life. It is not impossible to use alchemy to force it into it, but Ed has never heard of it without killing the monster like this.

Then there is only one problem. Except for areas with dense corpses such as graveyards and ancient battlefields, there have always been very few areas with natural dark magic power.Could it be that……

Suddenly a terrible thought formed in Ed's mind!That's right, some areas where only pure undead mana gather will appear "randomly" in this world. Of course, once such an area appears, it will usually be followed by a terrible undead natural disaster!

Is it true that such a terrible event is about to take place in this area?Ed wasn't sure.But he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to use the invisibility technique to perceive the magic power around him.

Speaking of sensing magic power, there is also a fifth-level magic power perception in arcane arts, but under the background of alchemy involving a lot of energy and Kaku’s retreat, Ed learned a new fifth-level arcane art, and the third-level stick The continuation of the spell, a magic hammer with a stun effect.

After a long time, Ed slowly opened his eyes. If he felt the magic power of the undead in the air, he would definitely take everyone away immediately, but the strange thing is that the magic power in the air in this valley is very normal, let alone the magic power of the undead. Even the minimum dark magic power is extremely pitiful!
"Hey Ed, what the hell did you find?"

Borg asked anxiously from the side.Not only him, it seems that even Arnold and Loki and their mercenary team gathered around Ed.Ed glanced at everyone, and he knew everything about everyone's arrival through his perception.

"There is no magic power of undead in the air, which is really very lucky!"

Aida is well-informed after all, she frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and asked tentatively: "You mean, there will be signs of undead natural disasters here?"

Immediately, there was a sound of breathing around. These people are all daring mercenaries, but I heard that the undead disaster is such a terrible word.Let them all be shocked!

Ed raised the fire magic crystal in his hand. "Don't worry, apart from this magic crystal in my hand, this valley has no undead magic power at all!"

"How do you know? Could it be because of the perception of arcane magic power?" Borg asked blurted out.Although he knew that his realm was not as good as Ed's, if Ed's perception of magic power surpassed him so much, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed!
"It's because of the second-level arcane concealment technique."

"Huh? Just take the tasteless magic? Doesn't it mean that the effect of the magic is just that monster?"

Ed smiled slightly, but suddenly said a famous saying of the sages of magic: "Any kind of magic, as long as you haven't practiced it to see the truth, it can't be said to be useless. Ms. Ada, although there is no magic power of undead in this area, but I still have it." It is recommended to search carefully."

"No problem!" Ada gritted her teeth. "But little mage Ed, which direction should we go?"

Ed pointed to the northeast direction, and shouted with a playful smile on his face: "Everyone go in this direction, I think there must be a surprise there!"

Although Ada was a little surprised, she still only wanted everyone to move in that direction.

The setting sun gradually disappeared into the sky, and the sky began to become invisible. The time when the sun sets and the moon is still not angry has always been the darkest time of the day. Any monster attack!

The four moons finally rose gradually, and everyone finally found a row of low houses not far ahead.

In everyone's eyes, this is just a dilapidated, inverted T-shaped abandoned house running from east to west with a room extending northward in the middle, but Ed knows very well in his heart that this kind of building was the one thousand and three hundred years ago. It was built by the most devout ascetic monks in the Holy See of Light.
