Chapter 95 Encounter
"Each person leads a team of about 20 mages, and spreads out a team of people on both sides every one kilometer to carry out cleaning work."
Here, Mage Versa The order has been given in an orderly manner, "If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved, send a signal immediately and I will arrive as soon as possible."
The people who received the order were the first-level mages who were also officially affiliated with the city of Bremen, and there were a total of twenty people.
Under Versa's instructions, each level 1 mage selected more than twenty unofficial mages to form twenty teams.
All teams are in order. Every kilometer forward, two teams will leave the convoy and enter the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road.
After six mage teams left the convoy, it was finally Gaode's turn.
A middle-aged mage appeared and pointed at four carriages, including Gothe's carriage, "You, you, you, and you, get out of the car and follow me."
The mage apprentices on the four carriages were also mentally prepared.
As soon as they heard the order, they all jumped out of the car and followed the middle-aged mage into the mountains and forests.
The four carriages they were riding in, including a dozen city guards following them, would be waiting for them on the official road.
The first is to provide necessary logistical support, and the second is to carry valuable corpses of leyline creatures.
As soon as you leave the official road and enter the mountains and forests, the smell of decay hits your face.
The lush leaves are airtight and the light is slightly dim.
Everyone walked through the dense forest, their footsteps making a rustling sound on the thick fallen leaves and dead branches.
Gothe followed the team and found that although he was a little nervous at this moment, he was more eager to try.
The leading middle-aged mage had already cast his spell as soon as he left the official road.
His eyes must be deep and bright, as if he can see through all illusions and disguises.
Gothe, who noticed this scene, knew what he was doing. Obviously, this was a detection spell.
Compared with the "wild mages" who learn spells here and there, the spells learned and mastered by mages under the official system have one big feature: they are systematic.
From reconnaissance to combat, it is very complete.
"Pay attention to your surroundings, especially your head. I only have one pair of eyes, so I can't guarantee that I can take care of all aspects." As if sensing that everyone was a little lax, the middle-aged mage reminded them.
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened and they all became more vigilant.
However, at the moment when the voice fell.
Whoosh!
A black shadow suddenly swooped down from the shadow of a towering tree at an incredible speed.
That is a huge bird.
His swooping trajectory was precise and swift, and it had already locked onto its target—the mage apprentice who was at the back of the team.
The mage apprentice whom he regarded as his target seemed to be frightened, and he just stood there, motionless.
The next moment, the bird's sharp claws suddenly swung out, like a sharp dagger, slicing through the chest of the mage apprentice.
In an instant, blood splattered, and the mage apprentice fell down before he even had time to scream, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The whole process happens in the blink of an eye.
This sudden attack made everyone sober-minded instantly.
After successfully attacking, this bird made a sharp chirping sound, as if in demonstration.
His feathers are dark, and his eyes flash with cruel light.
"Beast!" the leading middle-aged mage shouted angrily.
He took a deep breath and raised his right hand, with blue light flashing on his fingertips.
As the middle-aged mage roared, blue light suddenly burst out, turning into an ice blade, shining with cold light, and shot towards the birds and monsters in the air!
The ice blade drew an elegant arc in the air, as if even the air was frozen.
The bird monster felt the threat in the ice blade, let out a piercing scream, and tried to avoid this spell by flying rapidly.
However, in the hands of the middle-aged mage, there is already a new blue light shining.
Whoosh!
The ice blade rubbed against the bird monster's abdominal feathers. Although it did not hit the bird monster directly, the chill from the ice blade also made it tremble.
But before this bird monster could make its next move, another ice blade arrived.
It accurately hit the left wing of the bird monster.
A burst of ice crystals splashed out, and along with a shocking scar, a thin layer of ice crystals also covered the monster's left wing.
In an instant, the bird monster lost its balance and fell uncontrollably.
While falling, it struggled to stabilize its body, but it was in vain. Finally, it fell to the ground with a loud bang, letting out a painful scream.
"Go to hell!" The frightened mage apprentices just saw the bird monster falling to the ground, and in anger they also used spells to attack.
For a time, several or even dozens of attack tricks fell on the bird monster one after another.
Even though this bird monster had amazing resistance, it could not withstand the continuous spell attacks from the apprentices. It was immediately beaten to death and turned into a dead bird.
Even Gaode was involved.
It's a pity that he was not the lucky one to strike the final blow, so he did not obtain the origin.
But these are not the most important things now.
Everyone looked at the mage apprentice who was successfully attacked by the bird monster.
At this moment, he fell to the ground, and the clothes on his chest were torn, revealing the horrific wound that could see the bones.
The person has passed out, is unconscious, and life is passing.
The leading middle-aged mage frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but that was all.
He took out the "primary healing potion" he had prepared from his arms and applied it to the wound of the attacked mage apprentice to help him temporarily stop the bleeding.
"Send him back to the convoy, which is equipped with mages who master healing spells."
The middle-aged mage did not have much psychological fluctuations, so he pointed at one of the remaining mage apprentices and gave the order.
"Okay!" The pointed mage apprentice responded quickly as if he was about to receive amnesty.
————Anyway, if you work for a day, you will earn a day's money, so it is a good thing if you don't have to fight.
"Others, follow me to continue the mission, keep a long memory. These beasts always like to ambush and attack. If you are attacked and the injuries are too serious, even healing spells may not be able to save your lives." The middle-aged mage gave another reminder to the unsuccessful team.
Everyone nodded silently, obviously keeping this reminder in mind.
Teach people something and they will master it once taught.
Watching their companions being attacked with their own eyes, the relaxation in everyone’s hearts disappeared.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the team.
Everyone is thinking about the same question: If the bird just targeted itself, what would be its outcome at this time?
Once this idea is made, no one can relax.
Gaode's concept has also changed:
After all, he still thinks that hunting earth-line creatures in the wild is too simple.
He thought that with the strength of the people and the official magician leading the team, there should be no worries about safety.
But the fact is, in the wild, anything can happen.
· Forming a team can only improve safety a little bit, but if you just rely on others, you will never know how you will die.
You can only rely on yourself.
