Astral Apostle Chapter 105: Route
Under the guidance of Roman, Zhou Jing tested for several days, and finally measured the matching elements of Bill, the star apostle.
They are rocks, 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 the gust of wind, focusing on developing this element, which is not so conspicuous when used.
After getting Zhou Jing's reply, Roman didn't delay. After arranging all the matters in the base, he took four guards and embarked on a journey to find the spirit of nature with Zhou Jing.
It was said to be searching, but in fact Roman knew the location, and led the team straight away, with a clear destination.
The terrain of the Terra Empire is complex, mainly divided into north and south, with mountains and forests in the north and plains and basins in the south.
Roman's base is located at the junction of the north and the south, and the group headed north. It took them ten days to trek through mountains and rivers and go deep into the wild, before they came to a steep mountain, known locally as the Windwhistle Mountain Range.
Walking in this mountain range, the cold wind is like a knife, and the biting cold seems to be able to scrape away the flesh. .
From time to time, you can hear the sound of the wind whistling like a ghost crying. The higher you go to the peak, the higher the frequency.
Wearing face masks and felt hats, they walked through the forest against the strong wind.
Xiao Hei No. 1 followed Zhou Jing's feet, while the sword-tailed eagle stood on Zhou Jing's shoulders. He took the eagle dog with him on this trip.
"Master Roman, why did we come to this kind of place?"
The captain of the guard couldn't help but speak, his face full of embarrassment, and his words were puzzled.
"Don't ask, let's go." Roman waved his hand, not intending to answer.
The other three guards looked at each other helplessly.
They don't know anything about the wizard, they just follow orders, but they don't know what Roman's intention is, and they ran to this wild mountain forest for no reason, it's not just looking for excitement.
However, Bill, the former chief pharmacist of the empire who just joined the group, also came. Several guards made up their minds and thought that they probably wanted to collect some rare herbs, so they had to suppress their inner confusion.
The four of them are not Roman's most elite hidden guards, they are all just blood warriors who have been strengthened once.
Normally they would not be able to defend Roman, but this time Roman said that he did not want to be noticed, so he brought these guards.
Roman strolled to Zhou Jing's side, and asked with concern: "Master Bill, can you still hold on?"
"I'm okay." Zhou Jing wrapped his clothes and sniffed deliberately.
Although this apostle of the astral world is not strengthened by different blood, his initial physique is still much higher than that of ordinary people. It is not a big problem to go out in this cold field. But in front of Roman, Zhou Jing didn't want to show it, so he pretended to be cold.
Although it was noon at this time, the tree canopy covered it, and the forest lacked light, making it look dim and cold, with low visibility, which made people nervous.
Zhou Jing glanced left and right, and whispered: "Does it have to be this kind of poor mountains and rivers to have the spirit of nature?"
"Most of them are like this. Only in a more extreme environment can the spirit of nature be born."
Roman spread his hands, paused, and continued to explain in a low voice:
"The destination of our trip is a certain cave on a peak. I have seen the spirit of nature there before. If it has not been fused by other wizards, it should still be there now."
"May I ask, 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 now?
Roman shrugged: "I wasn't sure before I came, but now I can conclude that the spirit of nature here has not been taken away. The elemental vision can see the distribution of elements, and the spirit of nature is a high concentration of elemental aggregation. There will be long-lasting special traces between actions, so it can be tracked."
"Then I believe you." Zhou Jing nodded.
He is not a serious wizard yet, he needs psychic ointment to open the elemental vision, and the ritual is cumbersome, so he is not in this state at the moment, but Roman is leading the way.
The crowd 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.
"Adults be careful!"
The captain of the guard hurriedly drew out his long sword and shield, and together with the other three guards, protected Roman and Zhou Jing, watching the direction of the sound with vigilance.
Roman's face remained unchanged.
At this time, more than twenty blue beasts the size of calves rushed out of the forest, surrounded several people and wandered.
It has thick fur and looks like a tiger or leopard. Its two pairs of long canine teeth are extremely conspicuous, and its pair of crystal yellow animal pupils reveals ferocity.
"The long-toothed leopard is a group creature. Although it is a wild beast, its combat power is not much weaker than some ordinary low-level beasts... Generally speaking, a normal long-toothed leopard group does not exceed ten, but here there are more than two dozen , they should be the followers of a strange beast..."
Zhou Jing muttered in a low voice.
Some powerful alien beasts have special habits, and may enslave beasts of the same biological type and become their own followers.
As soon as the voice fell, the ground shook slightly
I saw the grass lying down in front of me, and a black and purple giant leopard more than three meters high walked out without making a sound. From the neck along the spine, there was a black mane standing up, like a black flame, and a long The tail is covered with scales, like a spiked iron whip.
A pair of red eyes, cruel and stern, staring at a few people, obviously treating them as food.
"Okay, Black Flame Leopard, a high-risk beast."
Zhou Jing turned his head to look at Roman, as if asking with his eyes if you can handle it.
Roman didn't even look at him, he just patted the guards and said:
"Unfortunately, I encountered a strange beast, and I depend on you to deal with it."
The four guards secretly swallowed, feeling nervous.
They are not serious beast hunters, and they have limited experience in fighting beasts.
They can still deal with more than twenty wild beasts, but if there is one more high-risk beast, it will be much worse.
The captain of the guard complained in his heart that Roman brought them to such a dangerous place, but it was of no avail so far, he gritted his teeth: "Master Roman, you run away quickly, I will bring someone to kill you!"
"Yes! My lord, go!"
The other three guards had sweaty palms.
"We're in the forest, so I'm afraid we won't be able to get rid of these beasts." Roman said casually, indifferently.
At this moment, the Black Flame Leopard let out a low growl, as if giving an order, and more than 20 long-toothed leopards rushed forward from all directions.
"Kill!"
The four guards roared and swung their weapons to kill the long-toothed leopard, trying to protect Luo Man and Zhou Jing behind them and escape.
A pair of long-toothed leopards charged up, their sharp claws and sharp teeth hitting the guard's shield hard, making a muffled bang.
The four different-blooded warriors guarded against death, kept white knives in and red knives out, and cut off the heads and disemboweled of many long-toothed leopards that rushed forward. Less whimpering beasts.
But there were so many wild beasts that the four of them couldn't resist all the attacks. From time to time, they were attacked by long-toothed leopards, staggered by wild beasts, and suffered tearing and scratching.
Xiao Hei No. 1 surrounded Zhou Jing, and once a fish slipped in, it would rush forward to bite and wrestle with the opponent.
The black-spotted hyena's size and combat effectiveness are far inferior to the long-toothed leopard, but Xiao Hei No. 1 has been raised by Zhou Jing for a long time and has taken countless medicines. Once you find an opportunity in the battle, you can use your **** digging skills to bite off the enemy's vital points, and you can win with one blow.
The sword-tailed eagle hovered in mid-air and swooped down from time to time, like a sharp arrow shot repeatedly, as long as it pecked the long-toothed leopard, it would leave a **** hole. With a sweep of the tail of the sword, it was like a sharp blade, cutting through the flesh and blood of the long-toothed leopard. If a pair of eagle claws hit the spine of the long-toothed leopard, it can directly tear the enemy's bones.
As a low-level beast, the fighting power of the sword-tailed eagle is much higher than that of Gouzi.
Although Zhou Jing's physique was higher than that of ordinary people, he couldn't deal with so many enemies. He just let his pet help, but Roman didn't move at all.
Just as the four of them were fighting fiercely, a black shadow suddenly flashed past, as fast as a hallucination.
"Ah!"
Hearing a scream, the captain of the guard was knocked out by the Black Flame Leopard. Before he could get up, he was pinned down by the Black Flame Leopard, struggling endlessly.
The captain of the guard gritted his teeth and waved his weapon, trying to stab the Black Flame Leopard's leg and force him to move his claws away, but at this moment, he saw the Black Flame Leopard open its **** mouth to him, and a smear of red light appeared Mouth ignited.
Hoo-poof!
The black flame leopard suddenly spewed out raging red flames, engulfing the head of the captain of the guard.
The flames lasted for a few seconds before stopping, and the guard captain's head had turned into charred charcoal, and he couldn't die any more.
"Oops!"
Lacking a backbone, the remaining three guards were thrown into chaos.
The Black Flame Leopard flew by again, and bit a guard in half.
The remaining two guards couldn't resist anymore, they were bitten to pieces by the swarming beasts, and their struggle strength became weaker and weaker.
Zhou Jing turned to look at Roman: "Do you have to wait until the guards are dead before you do it?"
"I don't want to show the power of a wizard in front of outsiders."
Roman doesn't care.
Going out to find the spirit of nature this time may show the power of a wizard. He didn't want to leak the secret to too many people, so he didn't bring a large force.
But when two people travel, no one can order them around, which is too troublesome, so he brought a group of marginal guards who are not strong enough, which is equivalent to finding a few followers to take care of the daily life, and at the same time, when encountering some small troubles, he does not have to personally Make a move, someone will do it for you.
If it goes well, there is no need for witchcraft.
But if you encounter some greater danger and have to do it yourself, and you don't want to reveal the secret, then you have to sacrifice and lose your subordinates... So it is convenient to bring some low-value personnel.
Now that Bill, the pharmacy master, has improved the blood potion, the number of blood warriors who will be strengthened at one time will increase greatly in the future, so in the eyes of Roman, it is not uncommon to have blood warriors who have been strengthened at one time, and it is not uncommon to die in battle. pity.
Seeing that the four guards were dead and injured, and confirming that no one could leak the secret, Roman raised his hand, and a flame ignited in his palm.
The next moment, a circle of fire suddenly spread.
Boom——
The dozens of long-toothed leopards that were coming to kill them were swept by the ring of fire, and were directly ignited halfway.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
The shrill roar of beasts resounded through the forest immediately.
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 in the flames, cracking and breaking.
Bang bang bang——
Suddenly a series of explosions sounded, and all the burning long-toothed leopards exploded, turning into embers of embers all over the ground.
Clear the scene in an instant!
The dog was startled, and with a whimper, it quickly crawled under Zhou Jing's crotch, trembling.
Seeing this scene, the Black Flame Leopard roared in fear and panic, and suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a burst of flames, heading straight towards the two of them.
Roman's expression was calm, and he quickly read the flame that was shot halfway, and brought the fire into his own control.
The next second, the flames poured backwards, rushing back to the throat of the Black Flame Leopard.
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 with a bang.
Plop!
The Black Flame Leopard staggered and fell, its throat was ruined, and it couldn't scream even when it opened its mouth.
It kicked its legs wildly, struggled to stand up, stumbled and was about to turn around and run away.
Roman was about to make up the knife, when Zhou Jing suddenly whistled.
"Wow!"
I saw the sword-tailed eagle seized the opportunity, swooped down suddenly, and pecked at the vulnerable eyes of the Black Flame Leopard, like a sharp arrow, half of its body pierced the Black Flame Leopard's eye socket.
Black Flame Leopard's brain was severely injured, his body swayed, and he 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 feather.
After these days of cultivation, he has used the pet function to improve the skill level of the sword-tailed eagle a lot, and also honed the toughness of the eagle's beak. Although it is a low-level beast, it can cause considerable damage. Crucially, it is not impossible to kill a stronger beast.
The current sword-tailed eagle is like an arrow hovering around him.
Roman didn't care about being robbed of his head. Seeing that the surrounding flames were blazing, and it was about to brew into a wildfire, he recited all the flames and extinguished them. He received his magical powers and was very environmentally conscious.
His flame damage is enough to kill most of the beasts quickly, and the high-risk beasts are just instant kills for him.
Zhou Jing returned to Roman's side, glanced at the guard's body, and shook his head:
"If you start early, they will still be alive."
"Since we are guards, it is our duty to protect us. To die for this is a worthy death. Otherwise, what are you going to do as a guard... You'd better be like me in the future, and don't expose yourself in front of irrelevant people because of your weakness~IndoMTL.com~ The power of a wizard."
Roman waved his hand. He is not a kind person, so he decided to die rather than save him. He didn't want to reveal his abilities in front of the guards.
Zhou Jing shrugged, noncommittal.
That is to say, if he is useful and has the equivalent potion crafting ability, Roman will use witchcraft to make a deal with him.
Although Roman is not a good person, he has no position to accuse him of being taught witchcraft.
There were only two people left in the team, an eagle and a dog, so they had to pick up the luggage from the guard's corpse and move on.
A few more waves of beasts were encountered on the road, all of which were easily burned to death by Roman.
Zhou Jing observed Roman's battle openly and squarely, and found that no matter what kind of enemy he was dealing with, he was very capable, and it was difficult to judge the limit of his strength.
As the sun gradually set, the two climbed the mountains, and finally arrived at their destination without any danger along the way.
