Casting spells

Even those high-ranking and important people may not be able to eat a meal of fresh vegetables and fruits, so everyone present can't help swallowing subconsciously when they see the green color in the pot, even if they have eaten some strangely shaped dishes before. Green fruit with plenty of water.

But the team leader obviously had some concerns, and was not in a hurry to start the meal. While stirring the spoon in the soup pot, he asked the boy without raising his head: "****, if you don't mind, I can ask you if you want to eat next? Let's delve deeper into this huge ruin?"

"Why not? This is the capital of the most powerful empire in the past, and it is also known as the land blessed by the gods. To some extent, it represents the old world before the order collapsed, and it has considerable research value. "** gently closed the old book in his hand, and replied with a smile on his face.

If we say what is the biggest gain of this long journey across half of the continent, it must be the first to recommend all kinds of complete or incomplete books and knowledge.

Through these texts from hundreds or even thousands of years ago, he finally had a clear understanding of this world and even the Darent invaders.

To put it simply, this world was at the peak of theocracy before the arrival of the Darente. There were hundreds of gods with different names and titles competing for the belief of mortals, trying to establish a unified and controlled by gods. kingdom of mortals.

But unfortunately, due to the innate arrogance of the gods, no one will obey anyone in the end. No matter how powerful the gods are, they will add a powerful team to their competitors with personality, world outlook and values ​​as the core. a union.

And it is the formation of these alliances that led to even at the peak of theocracy, it was still full of strange internal contradictions, and even believers were hostile to each other and killed each other, just to please the god they served.

In the end, they paid a high price for their shortsightedness and ignorance.

When the Darentes opened the portal and swarmed in, this city, which was contested by countless gods, was instantly covered by terrifying magic plants. None of them escaped.

The originally glorious and powerful empire collapsed overnight, and the remaining places surrendered and died in battle under the fierce attack of the invaders.

It is said that a large number of treasures, as well as a large library that claims to store the largest number of books in history, are still intact in a corner of this activated forest.

"Oh? Are you here to pursue knowledge?" The leader raised his head with a surprised expression.

You must know that in this barren planet right now, the most valuable thing is knowledge, and the least valuable thing is also knowledge.

As paradoxical as it may sound, it is the truth.

The reason why it is said to be the most valuable is that under the long-term aggression and oppression of the Darente, many previously powerful magic knowledge and technologies have been lost, so now anyone who can find even a small part can instantly Get rich.

But unfortunately, apart from the knowledge that can create value, the remaining knowledge about humanities, geography, history, etc. is completely useless.

For example, for the book the boy is holding now, he only paid for two desert lizard kebabs.

"That's right!" ** nodded seriously. "Do you know? Since the destruction of this city, even the Darente invaders have never really set foot in it. I guarantee that the knowledge and wealth hidden inside far exceed any of your imagination. It is like a huge The treasure is waiting for the brave to dig it. How about it, are you interested in going in with me? I promise, except for books, whatever valuable things you find will belong to you.”

"Deep into the forest? Are you sure this is not a joke? Didn't the scene during the day make you realize how dangerous it is?" Another woman next to him couldn't help but interjected.

"Danger is always proportional to reward. If you don't take risks, how can you get an enviable harvest. Don't you need to face danger when you walk through the desert? No! Even at the low end you are most familiar with, it is still possible in the desert. Encounter robbers, monsters, and even super-giant sandworms. In this era full of pain and despair, every second of living is an adventure. Since it is all an adventure, why not take a big gamble, if If you succeed, you will be able to live a comfortable life for the rest of your life, but if you fail, you will be freed early?"

**As always, he used his advantages in language and prying into other people's hearts to encourage these "cannon fodder" who have proven their worth along the way.

After all, although he has mastered quite powerful magic power, and can even clear a safe path directly in the forest, it is better to have helpers than no helpers, at least he can sleep more peacefully when he is resting.

"Hehe, I admit, your words moved me. But the problem is that there are too many dangers that can be seen in this forest. I'm not even sure if you can advance 200 meters safely." The experienced team leader had a profound meaning He smiled, obviously not easily fooled.

Just when she was about to say something, a piercing scream suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.

"what!!!!!!!"

"Damn it! It's Kanter!"

The woman who spoke before suddenly stood up and looked towards the place where the voice came from.

But unfortunately, her night vision ability was not good, and she couldn't see clearly what happened in the woods.

About two or three minutes later, a pungent smell of blood came from a distance, and at the same time there was the sound of blood dripping on the leaves.

"Everyone stay alert!"

When the team leader saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ignored the boiling soup pot, drew out his sharp sword and stared nervously around, trying to find the assailant.

He knew very well what the screams and bloody smell just now meant, it was death and killing.

The team member named Kanter is now estimated to have become a cold corpse...

The first thousand and 330 chapter two hunters

"I gonna go see!"

The tension and silence lasted for about 5 minutes. A woman with a fluffy bunny face finally couldn't bear it anymore and jumped towards the place where the screams were coming from.

Naturally, the team leader couldn't just watch the No.2 team member have an accident, so he immediately waved his hand, signaling the other two to follow.

After a while, they dragged an unrecognizable corpse back to the campfire.

To be precise, the head of the corpse was smashed alive by some unknown thing, and the limbs were roughly torn off, looking like a tattered rag doll.

What's even more frightening is that all his internal organs were dug out, most of his blood was drained, and the wound was as clean and tidy as if it had been licked.

"What did you see?" the team leader asked with a serious expression.

"Sorry, we didn't find anything. There were no footprints, no signs of struggle or struggle, and no signs of being dragged. I only found Kanter's body." The rabbit-faced woman shook her head helplessly.

It could be seen that she had a pretty good relationship with the deceased, so her eyes were full of pain and regret.

"No footprints? No traces of struggle or struggle? How is this possible! Kanter is the most powerful member among us. If even he can't make a symbolic resistance, how powerful should the attacker be?" The leader frowned. Lock muttered to himself.

You must know that in this crazy world full of all kinds of monsters and robbers, death is certainly a very common thing, but it can make an experienced adventurer die silently, without leaving even a trace, Definitely not in the category of "normal".

If something can kill a senior member quietly, it is also a huge threat to the rest of the team.

While everyone was staring at the tattered corpse with heavy expressions, Luke, who had never said a word, suddenly bent down, gently pushed aside the whitening wound caused by excessive blood loss, and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: " Such a huge wound, the blood has been sucked dry? Have you checked to see if there is a lot of bleeding around the body?"

"No! Including the brain, all the blood flowing out of the body seems to have disappeared out of thin air." Another man who followed quickly explained.

"What, did you find anything?" The leader quickly turned his attention to the boy.

Although Luke looks very young, even juvenile, he has proved his ability on a long journey, as well as a sense and maturity that does not match his appearance.

"No, it's nothing. I just find it a bit strange. Look at this mutilated corpse. If the target of the attack is a beast or monster, then it will just tear up the body, eat up the internal organs, drink up the blood, and then treat the remaining meat Don't even touch it?" Luke bluntly put forward a hypothesis.

After all, this is a world with extremely poor resources, and the vast majority of life will not even spare rotten flesh, let alone fresh corpses that have just died.

The team leader undoubtedly realized the abnormality, and gently touched the thick short beard on his chin: "You mean... the one who killed Kanter was not a monster, but a living person like us?"

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows. But one thing is certain, that is, this brutal way of killing is not so much an instinctive release, but rather an attempt to create panic." After finishing speaking, Luke turned his gaze to Throwing into the dark forest in the distance.

He could feel that there was a strong malice locked in the camp next to the campfire in the darkness, but because it was too well hidden, he never revealed his location.

"He wants us to be nervous, scared, flustered, and then take advantage of the chaos and kill everyone else?"

The leader subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand, and anger was brewing in his mind.

He could accept that his team members were killed or even eaten by wild beasts, but he absolutely could not accept that the other party treated the entire team as prey that could be played with wantonly.

"Yes! If you guessed right, we met a cruel and cunning hunter this time. In his eyes, each of us is a prey and a source of fun for him. Unless the last person dies, Otherwise, he will always follow and look for opportunities. How about it, are you interested in going deep into the forest with me now, and playing a life-and-death game with this sneaky guy?" Luke's mouth was slightly raised, and once again Invitation sent.
