Sword Sorcery - Chapter 225
[Chapter 223 Encounter]
A few days later,
a pale white moon hung in the sky, indicating that the time had entered the middle of the night, and gusts of cold wind whistled recklessly, bringing a touch of coolness unique to the evening.
At this moment, Aaron was walking on a dry grass, surrounded by dry and gray trees, and the sky seemed a little gloomy and gray, like a chalkboard painted with white powder, which could not cover up the gloomy atmosphere for a while.
This is the ‘Desert Forest’, about half a day away from the mountains where the Misty Swamp is located.
In order to get back to the academy as soon as possible, Aaron did not choose to take the conventional route, but directly traversed half of the Kingdom of Tut and took the closest ‘shortcut’.
The end point of this shortcut is the ‘Withered Calamity Forest’, as long as you pass through this forest, you will be the mountain range where Misty Academy is located.
Originally, Aaron was riding a wildebeest all the way, but when he entered the dry forest, he was attacked by a wire wolf. The other party was just a low-level monster, far from the level of a wizard. solved.
However, Aaron didn’t notice the situation of the wildebeest when he was crushing and killing the wolves.
After he finished dealing with the wolves, he realized that the wildebeest had gone to eat the grass, but was jumped out of the grass. Aaron was helpless even after a bloodskin
snake killed him
, as if he vented his anger and made a bloodskin snake into a dinner, he could only choose to walk on foot.
Fortunately, Aaron’s eyesight is very good, and he is also a shadow-type phantom sorcerer, with a fairly high affinity for shadows.
Therefore, even if he walks in the forest at night, there will be no interference in vision.
In the entire forest of Salalah
, only the sound of Aaron walking on the grass slowly reverberated in the air. Not only was it extremely gloomy, but even the echoes of footsteps were clearly audible—as if there was a person behind him, constantly unceasingly. Repeat the same pace.
In addition, most of the creatures in the forest are sleeping, but there are also some unknown small animals at night, which are quietly moving.
They made a sound, like the babble of a sleeping person, or the murmur of a girl in a dream. If you listen carefully, people have an indescribable irritability
.
In this regard,
Aaron chose to ignore it and continued to move forward with a calm expression.
In fact, Aaron also knows something about the rumors about this forest – this forest is very strange, and most of the plants are ‘dead’ things.
To be precise, the death of plants is not surprising. What is really strange is that after these plants ‘wither’, they will continue to grow, growing from a small dead tree to a ‘towering dead tree’!
Dead trees maintain their own life. If an axe cuts off their rhizomes, pale white plant sap will flow out, which is a commonly used pigment.
I heard that the wizards in Lilita’s hut like to use this paint to paint human faces, especially dead faces.
Because, this kind of pigment emits bursts of light laughter on time at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, which is quite in line with the perverted hobbies of the wizards in Lilita’s hut.
Hee hee hee hee hee~
Sure enough, bursts of light laughter came from the surrounding dead trees, which also implied that it was twelve o’clock.
This phenomenon is the origin of the name of the ‘withered forest’ and is also one of the characteristics of the withered forest.
In this regard, Aaron maintained an attitude of ignorance, and went directly into a bush, followed the direction indicated by the chip, and walked towards the end of the dry forest.
The echo of Sara Sara
Hee Hee Hee
‘s own footsteps and the faint laughter from the surroundings formed a rather annoying background music.
Fortunately, Aaron had already anticipated it, and turned a deaf ear to everything. He firmly stepped on the dry and gray blades of grass and walked forward.
Soon, Aaron crossed the grass and came to the front of a large bush. Suddenly, Aaron’s footsteps paused, and his ears twisted slightly, as if he was listening to something.
“No!”
Aaron seemed to have found something, and he stepped on the ground a little harder, and his body moved to the other side to avoid –
bang bang bang!
!
!
One after another wind blade flew out from the bushes in front and hit Aaron’s original position, immediately blasting pieces of mud debris, setting off a cloud of sand and dust!
“There is an ambush! They are ‘squatting’!!!”
Aaron immediately judged the situation.
Obviously, someone had ambushed a trap ahead and launched an attack in advance because of his vigilance!
“Who the hell are they? Why are they attacking me?!”
Aaron frowned slightly, and a doubt emerged in his heart.
However, doubts turned into doubts. Aaron’s hands kept moving for a second, but seeing his right hand make a random move, shadow arrows quickly appeared in the air around his body, heading towards the bushes in front of him. Fire away!
However, there seemed to be an invisible transparent wall in the air, and shadow arrows hit the wall, and bursts of crashing noises erupted –
ding ding ding ding!
!
!
All the shadow arrows exploded at the collision point, turning into a black airflow that spread out, temporarily blocking the vision for a breath!
Taking this opportunity, Aaron retreated to the other side, with a dignified expression in his expression –
“They must have come prepared!”
At this moment, the fog in front of him suddenly exploded, and wind blades one after another. The bursts of fire came one after another, vowing to put Aaron to death!
Moreover, the density of these wind blades cannot be released by any witch, at least two phantom shamans must join forces—indicating that there are at least two phantom witches in the ambush!
Swish swish!
!
!
A wind blade cut through the fog, revealing everything behind the fog. Taking this opportunity, Aaron finally saw the ambush who attacked him –
a round-faced youth and a sausage-mouthed youth, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com The two youths were both wearing academic gray robes, and what attracted Aaron’s eyes the most was a light gray badge on their shoulders, which depicted a palm and a tornado.
“Hand of the Storm?!”
Aaron was startled and recognized the origin of the badge, but he couldn’t be distracted now, because the wind blades rushing all over the sky completely surrounded him!
In the bushes not far away, the round-faced youth saw that Aaron was surrounded by wind blades, and he couldn’t help but sneer: “Humph~! This phantom sorcerer is too careless, it seems that he doesn’t know the ‘news’ yet, But that’s all.”
“With the sneak attack we prepared in advance, we can definitely end this witch’s life.”
The sausage-mouthed youth next to him smiled and said, “Yes~, it seems that our academy points can be increased by a few points. Just when the
two of them were relieved, suddenly, the center point surrounded by wind blades burst out with dark sword lights!
The next moment, all the wind blades were swept away, and a ghostly figure rushed out and killed the two young people!
