Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 18: Tracking
The scene inside Elwynn Forest feels very primitive.
There are basically no roads in the forest, the trees are scattered and closely spaced, the ground is full of tall weeds and vines spreading all around.
Even if there is a 'beast way', it will soon be overwhelmed by the vigorous weeds.
In this situation, the speed of the four of Kewen seemed a bit slow.
However, Garken was right when he said something. They are very familiar with the environment of the Stormwind Kingdom.
I don't know how familiar they are with other regions, but from Kewen's point of view, they really know this 'Elwynn Forest' very well.
Because on the way forward, the three of them would often give pointers to Kewen, sometimes pointing in one direction, telling Kewen that the area where the 'Forest Spider' is active, or that direction is the area where the 'Stonetooth Boar' is active .
Even where grizzly bears are likely to appear, the three of them gave Kewen clear instructions.
So along the way, the team encountered only one attack by wolves.
Eight gray wolves suddenly jumped out from the lush grass, but everyone was always on guard.
Nata Nali rushed up first, and passed through the middle of the two wild wolves flexibly.
A pair of daggers drew a stream of light, piercing the necks of the two wild wolves in an instant.
Then, she jumped up again, stepped on a leaping wild wolf with one foot, and used her strength to jump a second time, grabbing a tree vine hanging in mid-air, thus avoiding the attack. Attacks by other wolves.
Galken's movements were also very fast. When Natalie jumped up, Galken charged forward with a low growl.
During the charge, Galken swung the giant sword in both hands. Even if the sharp weapon did not attack with all its strength, it still split the gray wolf trampled by Natalie in half.
Then Galken kept walking, relying on the defensive power of his mail armor, he continued to rush into the middle of the remaining five wolves, his weapon continued to sweep past.
With one move, two more wild wolves were chopped to death instantly.
At this moment, Tager suddenly uttered a battle roar, which made the remaining three wild wolves who were about to attack Galken tremble uncontrollably, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Tager.
Taking this opportunity, Natalie fell from the sky, and Galken swept the weapon again.
Before the remaining three wild wolves came back to their senses, the two cooperated perfectly to kill them.
The entire battle lasted only ten seconds, and all eight wild wolves lost their lives in vain.
After the battle, Natalie squatted down and skinned three wild wolves with intact fur.
As for the other wild wolves, forget it, their furs have already been ripped apart by Galken, completely losing their value.
Galken took the opportunity to explain to Ke Wen: "The beasts like wolves have no fixed range of activities. They roam around the entire forest, so we don't know how to avoid them."
Kewen nodded in understanding, then suddenly raised his hand and waved towards the grass where the wolves rushed out.
Arcane energy instantly covered the area, causing two screams of 'Aww' suddenly resounded in the grass.
The two wild wolf cubs were caught out of the grass by the 'arcane energy' out of thin air, and were hung in the air.
Seeing this, Galken lowered his guard, shook his head and said, "Kewen, let it go."
"Aren't you going to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots?" Ke Wen asked.
"No need." Galken said with a smile: "They have no value. If they can grow up in this forest, they will just contribute their skins to adventurers in the future."
Ke Wen nodded, and with a wave of the back of his hand, the ball of 'arcane energy' threw the two wild wolf cubs back into the grass.
The terrified cry of '嗤嗤' quickly faded away, and I don't know if the two wolf cubs will run to the territory of other wild beasts in a panic...
Not long after, Natalie skilfully finished skinning the wolf, rolled the three wolf skins together, and stuffed them into the 'space pocket' hanging on her waist.
The team continues on the road.
The rest of the journey was safe and sound. In about half an hour, the four of them arrived at the 'Fargody Mine' belonging to 'Stormwind City'.
The working atmosphere in the mine is very hot. The miners hang oil lamps on their waists and carry mining tools in and out of the mine.
There are some simple guard posts around, and some Stormwind guards are in charge of guarding them.
Galken went directly to a guard and asked if there had been any theft in the mine in the past two days.
The guard's answer made Galken very excited, because when he was patrolling the mine this morning, there was indeed a phenomenon of mineral theft.
In this regard, Galken immediately gave the other party a silver coin, and then led the three of Ke Wen to the edge of the mining area.
"Nana!" Galken grinned, "I'll leave it to you! Help us find the clues of the kobolds!"
Nata Nali has long been used to her task, nodded silently, and then began to look around.
Investigating around the periphery of the mining area, after nearly half an hour, Natalie suddenly rushed forward.
After a few steps, she bent over and squatted on the ground, stretched out her hand and fumbled lightly on the ground.
"Found it?" Galken asked immediately.
"Look at your luck." Natalie responded without raising her head: "There are kobold footprints here, but no one knows when they were left."
Galken nodded, and then explained to Kewen beside him: "That's how the crusade against the 'kobolds' is. After finding the clues, bet your luck. If you're lucky, you can track down and find the kobolds who haven't entered the lair yet. .”
At this moment, Natalie stood up and pointed to the forest in front left: "Look at the direction of the footprints, the 'kobold' is leaving there, chase it?"
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
Not much to say, Natalie took the lead, and the four of them got into the forest together.
After more than ten minutes, the team stopped, and Natalie sighed, and while looking at the surrounding ground, she said: "Unlucky, the clues of the footprints will be broken when they reach this gravel area. Look for it and see if there are any other traces."
Karken and Tagle stepped forward, each of them chose a direction, bent down and slowly searched.
Soon, everyone gathered together and shook their heads in disappointment.
At this moment, Ke Wen finally stopped paddling, and said aloud: "Let me do it, I just remembered a magic, it should be useful."
Others were stunned, and Galken looked like he had found it again, and immediately urged him. "Hurry up! Use it to see!"
Kewen nodded and stepped forward, put his hands together in front of his mouth, took a deep breath, and blew it out.
The magic energy in the palm of the hand was blown away by Ke Wen, turning into a large mist formed of magic particles, drifting and sinking below the ground.
Soon, a glimmer of light appeared on the ground in the surrounding area, and magic particles came out of the ground again, rising to form an illusion.
The kobold squad appeared in the vision, and five kobolds carrying shovels walked across the gravel and walked in another direction.
"It's amazing magic..." Natalie couldn't help admiring, then looked in the direction where the phantom kobold was leaving, and greeted everyone: "Chasing!"
"No hurry." Ke Wen reminded: "I can maintain the magic effect all the time, but correspondingly, our speed will also slow down."
"Let's go slower." Galken immediately decided: "Since we will never lose track of the 'kobold', we don't need to be so anxious."
Nata Nali nodded in agreement, and then arranged: "Keep in formation, don't let anything disturb Kewen."
"Okay." Galken stepped forward: "I'm in the front, Nana, take care of Kewen's right side, Tagle."
"Understood." Tager took the initiative to walk to Ke Wen's left side and lifted the shield slightly.
The team moves on.
Along the way, Kewen kept the virtual scene combined by the 'Tracking Curse' and the 'Illusion Curse' at the front of the team, making the 'kobold' in the phantom always lead the way for everyone.
After more than half an hour, the 'kobold team' in the phantom disappeared under a small hill.
Kewen waved away the illusion, and then the four of them quickened their pace and rushed to the place where the 'kobold' disappeared.
The trunk of a huge dead tree lay at the foot of the hill.
Nata Nali quickly found a clue. In a position behind the dead wood, it was piled up with branches.
This situation is too obvious, and it is obviously telling others that this is not normal.
In response, Natalie made several gestures one after another.
Kalken and Tagle nodded silently, then walked up lightly, holding their weapons.
Listen attentively, everyone did not hear the kobold's voice, Galken walked to the pile of branches and pushed the branches aside with his great sword.
Soon, a very narrow dog hole appeared in front of everyone.
The dog hole is only half a meter wide, which makes everyone a little dumbfounded, because no one can stretch their bodies if they get in.
Galken smiled bitterly, and asked in a low voice: "What should I do? Do I want to fill the hole with smoke like catching rabbits?"
"Kevin?" Natalie asked, "Do you have any other suitable magic?"
Ke Wen nodded and smiled: "No problem, just leave it to me~IndoMTL.com~ After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, looked at the dog hole, raised his hands, and deliberately recited the 'Rune script' The spell casts a transfiguration on the hole.
With the release of the magic, the entrance of the hole suddenly expanded rapidly, and soon, a slanting passage with a width of more than two meters appeared.
The sight in front of them made the three of Natalie very excited, and Galken praised in a low voice: "Kevin! You are so reliable!"
Kewen accepted the compliment with a smile, and then reminded: "Okay, let's go in."
"Tagel." Natalie arranged: "You and I go ahead, Galken's weapons are too big, and some of them can't be used."
"No problem." Tager raised his shield and stepped into the passage first.
Karken walked behind Ke Wen, and only made a simple torch, lit it for everyone to illuminate...
