Astral Apostle Chapter 105: The road

Under Roman's guidance, Zhou Jing tested for several days, and finally determined the matching elements of Bill, the astral apostle.

They are rock, flowing water, and strong wind, among which wind and soil have the highest adaptability.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Jing finally chose Gust, focusing on developing this element, and using it was less conspicuous.

After receiving Zhou Jing's reply, Roman did not delay. After arranging various matters in the base, he brought four guards and embarked on a journey to find the spirit of nature with Zhou Jing.

It was said to be searching, but Roman knew the location and went straight with the team, with a clear destination.

The Terra Empire has complex terrain, mainly divided into north and south, with mountains and forests in the north and plain basins in the south.

Roman's base is located at the junction of the north and the south, and the group went north. It took more than ten days to travel through mountains and waters and go deep into the wild before arriving at a steep mountain, locally known as the Wind Roaring Mountains.

Walking in this mountain range, the cold wind is like a knife, the biting cold seems to scrape the flesh...

From time to time, you can hear the sound of the wind whistling like a ghost crying. The more you go to the peak, the higher the frequency.

Wearing face masks and felt hats, the crowd struggled through the forest against the oncoming wind.

Xiao Hei No. 1 followed Zhou Jing's feet, while the sword-tailed eagle stood on Zhou Jing's shoulder. He brought the eagle dog on this trip.

"Lord Roman, why do we come to such a place?"

The captain of the guard couldn't help speaking, his face was embarrassed, and his words were puzzled.

"Don't ask, just hurry." Roman waved his hand, not intending to answer.

The other three guards looked at each other helplessly.

They don't know about wizards, they just follow orders, but they don't know what Roman's intentions are. They ran to this wild mountain forest for no reason. Isn't this nothing to find excitement.

However, Bill, the former chief pharmacist of the empire who just joined the team, came here. The guards made up their minds and thought that they were probably going to collect some rare herbs, so they had to suppress their inner confusion.

The four of them are not Roman's most elite dark guards, they are all just once-enhanced alien blood warriors.

It is not their turn to defend Roman on weekdays, but this time Roman expressed that he did not want to attract attention, so he brought these guards.

Roman walked to Zhou Jing's side and asked with concern: "Master Bill, can you still hold it?"

"I'm fine." Zhou Jing wrapped his clothes and sniffed deliberately.

Although this astral apostle is not enhanced with different blood, its initial physique is still much higher than that of ordinary people. It is not a big problem in this cold field. But in front of Roman, Zhou Jing didn't want to show it, so he pretended to be frozen.

Although it was noon at this time, the trees were shaded and there was no light in the forest.

Zhou Jing glanced from side to side and whispered, "Do you have to have this kind of poor mountains and bad waters to have the spirit of nature?"

"Most of the time, the spirit of nature can only be born in extreme environments."

Roman spread his hands, paused, and continued to explain in a low voice:

"The destination of our trip is a certain cave at a peak. I have seen the spirit of nature there before. If it hadn't been merged by other wizards, it should still be there now."

"Excuse me, how long ago did you find out?"

"Uh, twenty years?"

"Pretty."

Zhou Jing was a little speechless.

Is the memory from twenty years ago still reliable?

Roman shrugged: "I wasn't sure before I came here, but now I can tell that the spirit of nature here has not been taken away. The elemental field of vision can see the distribution of elements, and the spirit of nature is a high-concentration elemental aggregation. Actions leave special traces that persist for a long time, so they can be traced.”

"Then I believe you." Zhou Jing nodded.

He is not a serious wizard yet. He needs psychic ointment to open the elemental vision. The ritual is complicated, so he is not in this state at the moment, but Roman is leading the way.

Everyone walked for a while, and suddenly there was a slight rustling sound in the woods, as if a large number of creatures were stepping on dead leaves and approaching quickly.

Xiao Hei No. 1 immediately fell to the ground, bared his teeth, and let out a low growl.

"Be careful, adults!"

The captain of the guard hurriedly drew out his long sword and shield, and together with the other three guards, he guarded Roman and Zhou Jing in the middle, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

Roman's face does not change.

At this time, more than two dozen calf-sized cyan beasts rushed out of the forest and surrounded a few people.

The fur is thick and looks like a tiger and leopard. The two pairs of long canine teeth are extremely conspicuous, and a pair of crystal yellow beast pupils are ferocious.

"Long-toothed leopards, social creatures, although they are beasts, their combat power is not much weaker than some ordinary low-level alien beasts... Generally speaking, the normal group of long-toothed leopards does not exceed ten, and there are more than 20 here. , they should be the followers of some alien beast..."

Zhou Jing whispered.

Some powerful alien beasts have special habits, which may enslave beasts of the same biological species and become their sidekicks.

As soon as the voice fell, the ground shook slightly

I saw the grass lay down in front of me, and a black-purple giant leopard more than three meters high walked out. The tail is covered with scales, like a spiked iron whip.

A pair of red eyes, cruel and cold, stared at a few people, obviously treating them as food.

"Okay, Black Panther, a high-risk alien beast."

Zhou Jing turned to look at Roman, as if asking with his eyes if you could handle it.

Roman didn't look at him, just patted the guards and said:

"Unfortunately, I encountered a strange beast, and it is up to you to deal with it."

The four guards secretly swallowed their saliva, nervous in their hearts.

They are not serious beast hunters, with limited experience in fighting beasts.

They can still deal with more than 20 beasts, but if there is an extra high-risk beast, it will be less fortunate.

The captain of the guard complained in his heart that Roman brought them to such a dangerous place, but it was of no avail until now.

"Yes! Sir, go away!"

The palms of the other three guards are sweaty.

"We're in the forest, I'm afraid we can't get rid of these beasts." Roman said casually, indifferently.

At this moment, the Black Flame Leopard let out a low roar, as if giving an order, and more than two dozen long-toothed leopards immediately rushed up from all directions.

"Kill!"

The four guards roared, wielding their weapons to slash and slash the rushing leopard, trying to escape with Roman and Zhou Jing behind them.

One long-toothed leopard charged up, and the sharp claws and sharp teeth slammed on the guard's shield, making a thumping sound.

The four alien-blooded warriors were strictly guarded. They kept white knives in and red knives out. They chopped off the heads and dismembered the belly of many leopards that rushed towards them. The surrounding area suddenly became full of blood, and they fell. Less sobbing and howling beasts.

But the number of beasts is large, and the four of them cannot resist all attacks. From time to time, they are attacked by the long-toothed leopard, staggered by the beasts, and are torn and scratched.

Xiao Hei No. 1 surrounded Zhou Jing. Once a fish slipped through the net, it rushed up to bite and fight with the opponent.

The size and fighting power of the black spotted hyena are far inferior to those of the long-toothed leopard, but after Zhou Jing's long-term upbringing, Xiao Hei No. 1 has taken countless medicines and has a strong body. Once you find an opportunity in the battle, you can use your **** skills to bite the enemy's key points, and you can win with one blow.

And the sword-tailed eagle hovered in mid-air, swooping down from time to time, like a sharp arrow that repeatedly shot, as long as it pecked the middle-toothed leopard, it could leave a **** hole. The tail of the sword swept away, like a sharp blade, cutting through the flesh and blood of the long-toothed leopard. If a pair of eagle claws buckle the spine of a long-toothed leopard, it can directly tear off the bones of the enemy.

As a low-level alien beast, the sword-tailed eagle's combat power is much higher than that of a dog.

Although Zhou Jing has a physique that is higher than ordinary people, he can't deal with so many enemies. He just uses pets to help, but Roman, who is on the side, does not move.

As the four of them fought hard, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past, as fast as an illusion.

"Ah!"

With just a scream, the captain of the guard was knocked out by the Black Flame Panther. Before he could get up, he was pressed under the claws by the Black Flame Panther and struggled endlessly.

The captain of the guard clenched his teeth and waved his weapon, trying to stab the Black Flame Leopard's leg and force him to remove his claws, but at this moment, he saw the Black Flame Leopard open his **** mouth at him, and a red light appeared Fire in the mouth.

Whoosh!

The black flame leopard suddenly spewed a turbulent red flame, engulfing the head of the guard captain.

It took a few seconds for the fire to stop, and the head of the **** captain had turned to charcoal, and he couldn't die any longer.

"Shit!"

Without the backbone, the remaining three guards were in chaos.

The Black Flame Leopard swept past again, biting a guard in half again.

The remaining two guards couldn't resist any longer. They were bitten to pieces by the swarming beasts, and their struggle was getting smaller and smaller.

Zhou Jing turned to look at Roman: "Do you have to wait until the guards are dead before you start?"

"I don't want to show the power of a wizard to outsiders."

Roman doesn't care.

This trip to find the spirit of nature may show the power of the wizard. He didn't want to leak the secret to too many people, so he didn't bring a large army.

But when two people travel, no one can be used, which is too troublesome, so he brought a group of marginal guards with weak strength, which is equivalent to finding a few followers to take care of the daily life. At the same time, when encountering some minor troubles, he does not need to personally Take action, someone will do it for you.

If it goes well, witchcraft is not necessary.

But if you encounter some bigger dangers, you have to do it yourself, and you don't want to reveal the secret, then you have to sacrifice yourself... So it's convenient to bring some people with low value.

Now that there is Bill, a master pharmacist, who has improved the alien blood potion, the number of alien blood warriors who are strengthened in the future will greatly increase, so in Roman's eyes, it is not unusual to strengthen the alien blood warriors once, and it is not uncommon to die in battle. pity.

Seeing that the four guards were dead and wounded, and it was confirmed that no one could leak the secret, Roman raised his hand, and a bunch of flames ignited in the palm of his hand.

The next moment, a ring of fire suddenly spread.

Boom

A dozen long-toothed leopards that were being slaughtered around were swept away by the ring of fire and ignited halfway.

"woooooooo"

The mournful roar of the beast suddenly resounded through the forest.

The ultra-high temperature flame melted the flesh and blood of more than a dozen long-toothed leopards in an instant, and the skeletons quickly became brittle and cracked in the flames.

bang bang bang

Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded, and all the burning long-toothed leopards exploded, turning into coke that was full of embers and unquenched.

Instant clearance!

The dog was startled, and with a whimper, it quickly got under Zhou Jing's crotch, shivering.

Seeing this scene, the Black Flame Leopard was terrified and roared, and suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a flame, and went straight to the two of them.

Roman's expression was calm, and he quickly recited the flames shot halfway, bringing the fire into his control.

The next second, I saw the flames pouring backwards, and the original path poured back into the throat of the Black Flame Panther.

The skin of the black flame leopard's throat quickly brightened, revealing bursts of red light, and the next moment it suddenly burned through and exploded.

Plop!

The Black Flame Leopard stumbled and fell, its throat ruined, and it couldn't come out with its mouth open.

It kicks on all fours, struggles to stand up, stumbles and turns and runs away.

Roman was about to make up for the knife when Zhou Jing suddenly whistled.

“Bah!”

I saw the sword-tailed eagle seize the opportunity, swooped down, and pecked at the fragile eye of the black flame leopard, like a sharp arrow from a string, half of its body was inserted into the black flame leopard's eye socket.

The black flame leopard's brain was severely damaged, its body swayed, and it fell to the ground stiffly, unable to move.

"Good grab!"

Zhou Jing was overjoyed, and hurried forward, pulled out the sword-tailed eagle from the black flame leopard's eye socket, and shook off the blood sticking to the feathers.

After these days of cultivation, he has used the pet function to improve the sword-tailed eagle's skill level a lot, and he has also tempered the toughness of the eagle's beak. Although it is a low-level alien beast, its lethality is very considerable. The key point is that it is not impossible to kill stronger alien beasts.

The current sword-tailed eagle is like an arrow hovering around him.

Roman didn't care about being robbed of the head. Seeing that the flames were burning around him, it was about to brew into a mountain fire.

His fire lethality is enough to quickly kill most alien beasts, high-risk alien beasts, and for him, it's just an instant kill.

Zhou Jing returned to Roman's side, looked at the bodyguard's body, and shook his head:

"You start early and they will still be alive."

"Since it's a guard~IndoMTL.com~ it's your duty to protect us, and dying for this is the right place to die, otherwise what should the guard do... You'd better be like me in the future, don't expose yourself to unrelated people because of weakness The power of wizards."

Roman waved his hand, he is not a kind person, so he doesn't want to be saved, and he doesn't want to reveal his abilities in front of the guards.

Zhou Jing shrugged, noncommittal.

That is, if he has the value of use and the equivalent potion crafting ability, Roman will use sorcery to trade with him.

Although Roman is not a good person, he has no position to accuse them of being taught witchcraft.

There are only two people left in the team, one eagle and one dog, so they had to pick up the luggage from the body of the guard and continue on their way.

I encountered several waves of beasts on the road, all of which were easily burned to death by Roman.

Zhou Jing observed Roman's battle brightly and found that no matter what enemy he dealt with, he was able to handle it with ease and it was difficult to judge the limit of his strength.

The sun was gradually falling, and the two climbed the mountain range.
