Chapter 245 Tracking
One blow failed, Gaode's mood did not change much and he was still very calm.
The dragon-tongued blue lizard is, after all, an earth-line creature.
Even if his spells are far more powerful than those of other mages with the addition of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, they are still just tricks after all, and it is normal for them to be blocked by an earth-line creature.
Compared with other first-level mages, apart from Fengling Yueying, the most outstanding thing about Gaode is the extremely large number of spells stored in the spell library.
As the saying goes, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
Some spells are nothing when taken alone, but they can be combined with other spells to produce an effect of 1+1>2.
Two intense energy beams flew out of Gothe's hands and shot towards the oncoming Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard.
【Magic Explosion+】, which comes with enemy locking and force field damage, is very suitable for dealing with the Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard, which has extremely strong physical resistance.
After all, force field damage is a noble damage type that ignores armor and physical defense. This means that no matter how tough the skin of the dragon tongue blue lizard is, it cannot ignore the rays of the magic energy explosion.
Energy beams fly.
The dragon tongue blue lizard's keen insight into energy also smelled a hint of danger, and it tried to avoid it.
However, the continuous tracking mechanism of [Magic Explosion+] makes its attempts in vain, unless it can burst out at an astonishing speed in a short period of time and pull the body out of the casting distance of the magic explosion.
Finally, two energy beams accurately hit the dragon tongue blue lizard and then submerged into it.
The dragon tongue blue lizard showed no signs of injury on the surface, but it immediately screamed in pain.
Because its body has suffered some damage internally.
At this moment, Gothe and the Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard were very close to each other and were about to miss each other.
· The dragon-tongued blue lizard, which suffered great pain, opened its mouth suddenly in anger and spit out a tornado-like blue airflow storm, which rolled towards Gothe.
Gaode seemed to have no reaction, and did not even make any move.
The next moment, the blue air flow enveloped Gothe.
However, the surface of Gaode's body was filled with a faint light at this moment.
【Increase resistance +】.
When you have the right to go first, there is another big advantage, that is, Gaode can add [increased resistance +] to yourself early.
The duration of [Increase Resistance +] is no longer limited to one minute, but can be extended as he wishes until the mana is exhausted.
The blue air current swept across and enveloped Gothe's figure.
But Gaode was as stable as a rock, and his actions were not affected at all.
This includes both the ability to increase resistance and the ability of the primary Ice Blessing Body.
Having a primary Ice Blessing body, Gaode's ability to withstand ice elemental damage is increased by 11%. Just like the earth-line creatures on the snowfield, they are born with strong ice resistance.
With the dual blessing of the primary Ice Blessing Body and [Increase Resistance +], the damage caused by the ice storm of Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard to him is almost negligible.
The freezing and slowing effect brought by the ice storm is also completely immune to the primary Ice Blessed Body.
The Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard obviously did not expect that Gothe could ignore its attack so easily and had not yet reacted.
And Gaode will naturally not miss this short opportunity.
While the mana in his body was surging, the moment he passed by the Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard, two suspended ghost hands had been summoned by him, and they pressed heavily on the rough skin of the Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard.
In an instant, the dragon tongue blue lizard felt weak all over and became tired and weak.
【Mage's Hand+】+【Touch of Fatigue】!
Mage hands do not have attack capabilities.
However, Gothe can use the hands of the mage to complete the contact required for [Touch of Fatigue], indirectly transforming [Touch of Fatigue] from a relatively useless melee spell to a mid-to-short-range spell.
This is the embodiment of 1+1>2.
Seeing that the dragon tongue blue lizard was already in a state of fatigue, Gothe immediately pursued the victory and released the next spell.
A blazing flame has burst out from his hand.
The flame arrow drew a bright trajectory and hit the dragon-tongued blue lizard that was unable to respond in time due to the spell's effect.
【Flame Arrow+】!
Although the extreme cold in the north will weaken the performance of fire spells, since the dragon tongue blue lizard's main resistance is concentrated on ice, the damage caused by fire spells will be greatly increased accordingly.
One side is weakened, and the other side is improved, but comparing the two, improvement is better than weakened.
Hence, the cost-effectiveness of casting flame arrows is still extremely high.
The dragon-tongued blue lizard that was hit by the flame beam immediately let out a painful roar. There were burnt marks on its tough skin, and it was obvious that it was seriously injured.
When Gaode saw this, he knew that now was the best time to end the battle.
Dang Dang Dang!
A mournful bell rang in the air and continued to echo.
【The death knell of the dead】.
The bell sounds with additional damage bonus for injured units.
The dragon tongue blue lizard has gray patches on its skin, and its eyes also show fear and despair.
This is the necrotic damage caused by [Death Knell]. It can not only cause damage to its body, but also have a certain impact on its spirit.
As the bell echoed, the life force of the dragon-tongued blue lizard seemed to be being drawn away by an invisible force.
Gaode did not give the dragon-tongued blue lizard any chance to breathe, and the lion had to fight the rabbit with all his strength.
"[Magic Energy Explosion]!" He shouted softly, and two violent energy beams flew out of his hands again, shooting directly at the already weakened Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard.
This time, the energy beam caused greater destructive power in the dragon tongue blue lizard's body on top of the necrotic damage.
The dragon tongue blue lizard struggled feebly, but its body could no longer offer effective resistance.
The energy beam hit its abdomen, making a muffled sound, and then submerged into it.
Under the dual negative effects of fatigue and erosion, the dragon tongue blue lizard's body is at its most vulnerable at this moment.
Hence, these two energy beams instantly caused greater damage inside its body.
In the end, the dragon tongue blue lizard just fell on the snow, losing all its vitality.
Gothe looked at the [Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard] (1/7) that appeared on the source column of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. After confirming that it was completely dead, he released [Increase Resistance +], and then walked to its body.
The dragon-tongued blue lizard is one of the earth-line creatures unique to the North.
Hence why Gothe's general course on earth biology at Sires Academy did not include an introduction to the dragon-tongued blue lizard.
Of course, he couldn't understand which parts of the dragon tongue blue lizard were more valuable.
Gothe can only cast [Detect Magic], then cut off the part of the tongue where the magic aura shines brightest, and put it into the package.
Hence, he patiently cut up the body of the dragon tongue blue lizard.
This is the first dragon-tongued blue lizard that Gothe has killed, but it is not the first lizard earth-line creature.
Origin:
Ring 0 - Frost-tailed lizard (4/7), Ice-scaled lizard (2/7).
Before encountering the first-level dragon tongue blue lizard, Gothe also encountered two different level 0 lizard leyline creatures.
It is a pity that most of the lizard creatures live alone, unlike snow wolves and snow hyenas, who can form a large group when they meet.
Hence, the origins he obtained are also scattered, and he has not come up with any new origins so far.
After killing the frost-tailed lizard and ice-scaled lizard, Gothe had already tried it, and the taste of the lizard meat was unexpectedly very good.
Lizard meat tastes similar to fish, is relatively tender and smooth, and is rich in protein and fat. It is definitely a high-quality food.
According to the way people in the north eat it, it is naturally eaten raw.
However, Gothe's eating habits still cannot accept such a primitive method, so he usually brings the lizard meat with him in whole pieces, cuts it into small pieces when needed, and roasts it on the fire.
The dragon tongue blue lizard is almost as big as a wolf, and the pieces of meat that can be cut off from its body are quite heavy.
However, due to the limitation of the weight, Gaode finally only cut off the most tender part of the belly of the dragon tongue blue lizard.
The rest is left to nature or the snow vultures and snow hyenas circling in the snowfields.
After tidying up, Gaode set out again.
After walking a few more kilometers, he was already far away from the fighting point and the sky was getting dark, so he was ready to camp and rest.
Gothe followed his usual practice and checked the weather for the next day through [Druid Trick], and then cast [Wild Agility] to call out the Soul of the Wilderness to help find a suitable camp.
This is Wild Soul's area of expertise.
After a while, the Wild Soul found a relatively flat, leeward and sunny area nearby, and there were some low bushes around it, which could serve as a natural barrier.
Obviously, this is an ideal place to camp.
The spirit of the wilderness found the camping spot, and immediately consciously searched for dead branches and hay that could be used as fuel and stones to circle the fire. It also used Gaode's supplies to build a simple camp in the camping spot it found.
It set up the tent, unpacked the bedding, and took out the rations that Gothe had brought with him.
Having mastered this spell, Gaode's living standard in the snowfield has skyrocketed.
No wonder Baruch said [Wild Alertness] was a must-learn spell for guardians.
Of course, currently this is all that Wilderness Soul can do. More difficult tasks can only be done by Gaode himself, such as cooking.
He used spark magic to quickly light a fire, then cut the lizard meat into small pieces and roasted it on the fire.
At the same time, a small pot was set up on the fire and hot water was boiled.
As for the Soul of the Wilderness, it was sent out by Gothe to continue looking for fuel.
The meat of the dragon tongue blue lizard is extremely delicious, even without seasoning, it still tastes good.
Having been on the road for a day, being able to eat something good made Gaode feel good.
Beside the fire, Gothe took out the map from the Snover clan and looked at it.
Ten days have passed since he ran away from the Snowfield Guardian branch.
During this period, Gaode drove an average of 40 kilometers every day, which is 400 kilometers in ten days.
But it is actually still far away from the northern coastline.
Because he entered the northern border from the Owenraya Mountains in the Principality of Xien.
To reach the northern coastline, the distance required is approximately equivalent to traversing the entire Plantagenet Dynasty.
But Gaode is not in a hurry.
Because he is not just on the road. While he is on the road, he is also actively "spawning monsters".
With other things to do, the journey will not seem so boring.
After confirming that his direction had not deviated, Gaode put away the map.
Flora sat on Gothe's shoulders and warmed herself by the fire with him.
Changes in temperature have almost no effect on her.
But Flora was a scholar, and when she saw the mage warming himself by the fire, she joined him in doing so.
Even if the mage eats something, she will also taste it.
"Mage, are you going to start practicing again?" Seeing Gothe put away the map, Lady Flora said.
Gothe nodded, "Yes."
"Sir Flora is also going to start practicing magic."
"Then I wish Lady Flora success tonight."
"We have no horses."
".My fault, then I wish Lady Flora success tonight."
"Sir Flora almost succeeded last night, there will be no problem today." The scholar vowed.
"Yes, there will be no problem today."
"Sir Flora is really wise, and she can't trouble you with just a few spells." Gothe continued to boast.
Flora glanced at Gothe, and she was deeply satisfied with Gothe's praise. She narrowed her eyes slightly and showed her joy.
"Really?"
"Of course, it would take at least half a year for an average mage apprentice to master a spell!"
"It only took Flora less than a month to learn it!" Flora counted carefully on her fingers, and she became even happier.
"It's really amazing."
"By the way, mage, how long does it take you to learn a spell?"
."
"I'm going to start today's practice. Madam Flora, please hurry up. As the saying goes, you can work hard at one go, and then you can lose it again, and then you can use it up three times. While the momentum is good, try to succeed tonight." "
"Just that long."
"How long is that long?"
"Two or three days."
Gothe did not "dare" look at Flora again. After answering, he sat cross-legged silently, entered a state of trance, and began to practice the [Aoki Immortality Sutra].
Flora's eyes widened, as if she had been struck by something, and she could no longer say a word.
Before Gothe completed today’s practice, he was awakened by Flora.
Of course, Flora has always been very sensible. The reason why she interrupted his practice was because she discovered an abnormality and alerted Gothe.
Gothe's whole body was in a state of shock. As soon as he stood up, he found that two figures had appeared in front of him and one or two hundred meters behind him at an unknown time.
It happened to block both his way forward and his way back.
Two people, one is a man and the other is wearing a bronze mask.
Gaode narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Guardian of the Snowfield?" He confirmed.
Because Gothe saw a familiar pattern representing the "Guardian of the Snowfield" on their clothes.
“Yes, we are the hunters of the Snowfield Guardian.” The man blocking Gothe said in a deep voice.
These two people are naturally Loic and Kathleen who followed the scent all the way.
"What do you mean?" Gothe looked at Roic with a vigilant posture, and through spiritual communication, he asked Flora to help put away the "Breath of the Wild" placed in the package.
His experience of living with Baruch gave him a certain understanding of the hunter group among the guardians of the snowfield.
In terms of combat power alone, hunters are stronger than guardians.
Hence, although it is impossible to know the mage levels of these two hunters, there is no doubt that they can definitely crush themselves.
He still doesn’t know the specific intention of the other party’s visit, but it’s obvious that the person who came here is evil, so he must put the “Breath of the Wild” away first to avoid the crime of “conceiting a treasure”.
"I have interacted with Baruch, the guardian of your sect, and I can be considered a friend of the guardian of the snowfield." Gothe said in a deep voice.
"Sure enough, we found the wrong person." Luoic saw that Gothe had already confessed his identity before he asked any questions, and he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
