The first person to ask the question was naturally Woody, who had been observing the surrounding environment. He shouted and said to Cecil solemnly.
"Have your invisible servant stop the carriage quickly."
Cecil was stunned at first, but he still followed Woody's reminder and let the invisible servant dissipate. Without the coachman, the carriage naturally stopped in front of a pool of water somewhere in front of the valley. The magic horse turned into a horse.
He was lowering his head and sipping the water that was barely in his mouth.
Woody got off the carriage, raised his head, looked at the terrifying crack that had covered most of the sky, and examined it carefully. Cecil began her daily reconnaissance as a spell caster. Although she did not feel anything was wrong,
As a token of her trust in Woody, she felt that she still needed to investigate the valley. Kafferman followed Woody out of the carriage with a curious look on his face, talking as he walked.
"Tsk, tsk, it's only been a few years and you've grown like this?"
After hearing this, Cecil also took advantage of the spell wave sweeping back and forth in the nearby area to curiously ask.
"Isn't this what it used to be like here?"
"of course not!"
Kafferman retorted firmly, with nostalgia and reminiscence in his sparse eyebrows.
"Although the Great Rift Valley at that time was the only way to go to River Valley City, most people needed to prepare various measures before entering the Rift Valley. In addition to necessary water sources and food, they also had to be prepared at any time and anywhere.
Be careful of the dangers above your head and below your feet. The expansion of the cracks has not stopped at that time. A stone may fall from the sky, or the ground may crack again..."
Listening to Kafferman's ramble, Cecil couldn't help but look at the Great Rift Valley in front of him.
Different from the desolation and danger described in the story, the valley here is not only majestic and majestic, but also full of green. Except for the two sides that extend to the end and still have no tendency to close together, there are only a few cliffs that look upward like a dragon raising its head.
I don’t know how to erect them, but the huge stone pillars facing the sky can be vaguely seen at the bottom of the valley. Perhaps it is the nourishment of the Golden Galaxy, coupled with the cool breeze of the valley, both insects, birds and flowers and plants are extremely prosperous here, and nests are built.
, foraging for food, the birdsong is deep, and it feels like a paradise.
"Hey, something's wrong, Woody."
Although the spell detection was not over yet, Cecil also noticed something and said with surprise in his eyes.
"It's obviously a cold winter month, but here are full of flowers that only bloom at the turn of spring and summer."
What is visible to the naked eye is that on the cliffs of the rift valley hundreds of meters high, in addition to the green moss, you can also see vines and flowers. Among the flowers blooming there are some seasonal flowers that are unlikely to bloom in November.
Not to mention that the temperature here is honestly not as good as spring all year round. At most, it is only slightly better than the top of the rocky beach.
Woody was standing in front of the valley at this time. From that position, he could see the innermost situation of the valley without being disturbed by the cliffs.
There is no flaw inside, and the green color seems to be bordering the sky.
In addition to soft moss, the valley floor also has equally lush half-foot-high shallow grass. Occasionally, you can see some yellow and red wild flowers blooming in spring.
Hearing Cecil's words, Woody couldn't help but shook his head.
"More than that, the smell here is very wrong."
"The smell is wrong?"
Cecil looked confused and looked at Woody doubtfully. Although as a spell caster, her perception was not as sensitive as the former's, she could not detect any abnormalities.
However, before she could speak, Caverman on the other side spoke first.
"I said there was a strange smell, and it turned out it was coming from here. I thought there was some wild animal dung nearby."
Kafferman also joined the group to discuss the strange phenomena in the valley, and judging from his words, this aura has been lingering for a long time. At least one can detect the strangeness a short distance before entering the valley.
Cecil's face changed slightly, knowing that Woody's words were correct, so he stopped worrying and directly gave himself a spell to increase perception and a strange object to enhance perception attributes.
——Second-level spell "Owl's Wisdom"
——Magical item "Gorgeous Belt"
——The magical object "Heart of Nature"
…
When the switch was removed, Cecil could already clearly detect the peculiar smell circulating in the air, which was almost astounding to his nose.
"Oops, the perception is too high."
Cecil quickly covered his nose, but the lingering nausea still echoed in his consciousness.
Detecting evil, detecting animals and plants, detecting life, these spells used to detect the environment in the valley realm also entered Cecil's field of vision at the same time.
The first wave of evil detection, the blood-red feedback means that there is indeed a problem in the valley here, and there is an evil aura.
Likewise, detection of life, flora and fauna also responded.
In the second wave, when the number of evil auras and the brightness of the strongest one were detected, Cecil's pupils seemed like an earthquake, because in the field of vision, representing the detection area, red light densely covered every inch of the land.
It stretches all the way to her feet. Although most of the light is weak and the level is the lowest, it obviously represents a fact.
That is, this valley is alive and full of malice towards them.
But this time, Cecil looked at the green valley again. The flowers, plants and vines hanging on the cliff were no longer with appreciation, but with anger and cruelty.
"I feel it, Woody."
Cecil's voice seemed to be suppressing something. After listening to it and seeing her appearance, Woody knew that her perception was so high that she could not resist the sudden stench, so he comforted her.
One sentence.
"Can you still hold on?"
"certainly."
Cecil directly returned her perception to the normal level. If she was facing that stench, she would not be able to cast a spell. In the past, some people specifically targeted the characteristics of spell casters, as environmental influences and interference can affect the success rate of spell casting.
A foul-smelling excrement is placed around the battlefield, but this kind of situation can be completely avoided with a five-sense shielding spell. But this kind of smell that can directly affect mental perception, all she can do is return the perception attributes to normal values.
.
Sure enough, when the perception returned to normal, the fragrance of green grass came again in the air. However, having a glimpse of the real world, Cecil still had a vague sense of nausea, which took a while to suppress.
When she came back, she cast a look at Woody who had been watching her. Woody, who had communicated with her many times, naturally understood what that look meant.
"Can I test it?"
Woody nodded, his eyes affirming.
With Woody's consent, Cecil didn't know why she had to get his consent. Anyway, after feeling Woody's support, she became much bolder and her eyes began to become colder.
The red light reflected in the field of vision still existed in this quiet valley. Thinking of this, Cecil did not hesitate. While throwing a sulfur ball from the spell material bag in his hand, he quickly spit out a string of words except the caster.
Besides, it is difficult to capture the meaning of the syllables.
When the syllable disappeared, a group of hot little balls with a low roar suddenly appeared in the sky above Cecil's fingertips. Moreover, the little balls swelled up when they saw the wind. While flying towards the target, they were quickly visible to the naked eye.
The speed changed from the size of a pea to a blazing fireball the size of a pumpkin. Soon it exploded under a cliff in the valley. With a loud roar, the vines and flowers hanging on the cliff immediately seemed like candles.
It also burned and spread quickly to the surrounding areas.
The location that Cecil points to is not random, it is pointed according to the location where the evil aura is detected. That is the location where the evil aura is the brightest, which means that the hidden malice there is greater than other places.
Therefore, less than five seconds later, a group-clad monster about three meters high and three meters long appeared. Its whole body was shrouded in flames and twisted into shape. The monster wailed from the bottom of the cliff.
When he broke free, Cecil only raised his eyebrows in response.
"The creeper?"
As a knowledgeable spellcaster, she naturally recognized the creature that was blown up by the fireball spell. The creeping monsters are strange creatures. They are closer to a bunch of entangled plants than to plants that take root alone.
Vines. They are omnivorous creatures that can find food in anything near them, clinging to a living tree to drink its sap, sinking roots into the soil to absorb nutrients, or devouring the flesh and blood of crushed prey.
and bones.
However, this seems to be a magical creature that can also be encountered in other forests. There is nothing strange about it. After all, this is such a vibrant valley. It is not normal for there to be some parasitic magical creatures in the valley.
But Woody didn't agree with this statement, he just shook his head and said.
"Get ready to fight! This is not an ordinary creeping monster, but a cursed creeping monster."
"What?"
Cecil looked at Woody in surprise, obviously asking what the curse of the creeping monster meant.
Woody's reply was only two words.
"Man-made."
"Man-made?"
Cecil immediately felt a chill down his back when he heard this word, because the creeping monster itself is a naturally occurring scavenger plant. It is said that it was specially placed in the forest by gods hostile to the elves, so the creeping monster especially likes the meat of elves.
.
But if it was created by man, then the story behind it would be very interesting. Man-made, where did the material come from? Cecil immediately thought of the humans who were killed by the curse...
But before Cecil could think about it, a rustling sound came from the vibrant valley, like the sound of countless vines running on the ground.
The next moment, dozens of tangled vines fell from the cliff, under the trees, and from high places. Different from the creeping monster that gradually became motionless in the flames, although they were smaller, the entangled vines
The man was intertwined with the slimy mud and was completely unaffected by the flames, and the stench of decay and newly plowed earth they emitted suddenly filled the valley.
"It seems we are not welcome here, hahaha. I haven't done anything for a long time. I just used them to warm up. I haven't killed the creeping monsters in a long time. I remember their weak point is the upper body, right?"
Accompanied by the sound of the bowstring being tightened, blacksmith Caverman had untied the huge longbow he was carrying behind him at some point. At the same time, a giant arrow that was nearly half the length of an ordinary arrow had appeared on the bow.
above.
Although it was a question, the tone from the old blacksmith's mouth was extremely affirmative.
Woody, who was standing aside, could carefully observe the blacksmith's strength. After all, this was his first time making a move. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the weapon in his hand. This huge composite longbow seemed to be made of metal.
It is made of black wood equivalent to the value of mithril. The bow is also inlaid with silver barbaric-style patterns, embroidered with some patterns of giant beasts, bipedal flying dragons, hundred-legged monsters... A magic weapon with at least +3 or more
The weapon, and judging from how hard he drew the bow, he obviously still had some power left. Woody's eyes twitched slightly, and he instantly realized that it seemed that he was the one with the lowest strength in this team...
But this was good, the pressure was reduced by more than one level, and he didn't have to worry about his teammates holding him back, and he still needed to take care of him. Thinking of this, Woody suddenly felt that not bringing Tecia out was the right decision.
call out!
The sound of arrows breaking through the air had already been heard, and then the arrow, which was almost as long as a man, hit the center of the upper body of a creeping monster with precision. Immediately, there was a popping sound like a balloon being punctured.
The creeping monster immediately let out the wailing sound it made when it was burned by the flames. It obviously hit a critical point. However, the vitality of the creeping monster is strong, or the vitality of natural species is very high. This arrow is far from being able to achieve instant death.
, but the movement of this creeping monster is obviously much slower, and the vines it is waving are constantly sucking juice from the roots of the surrounding trees to compensate for itself, and it is recovering...
But no matter how fast the recovery speed is, it can't compare with the speed of arrow loading, drawing arrows and setting up the bow of Caverman, the king of hunting.
call out!
Another arrow accurately hit the vital point of the creeping monster. This time, the creeping monster almost stagnated in place. Only the squirming vines meant that it was still alive.
However, after the third arrow, the creeping monster could no longer hold on and could not even scream. Tengman, who had absorbed the vitality of the trees, was even more unable to hang down and lay softly on the ground, losing all fighting ability.
.
It is Woody's judgment to master at least two extraordinary specialties.
"Rapid Fire" and "Endless Torture"
The former can make the arrow's aim accurate to within centimetres, while the latter allows the arrow to suffer repeated damage. The damage of one arrow is higher than that of another arrow. It can be seen from the arrow body that is shot into the body of the creeping monster. The third
The depth of one arrow only reached one-third, while for the third arrow, the entire arrow body, except for the ends of the arrow feathers, had been deeply embedded into the body of the creeping monster.
Such terrifying long-range suppression, Woody couldn't imagine what it would be like if there was such a ranger ambushing him secretly.
But this time was the best time to gain experience points. Woody shouted directly to Cecil in a low voice.
——"Here's a magical weapon, one with fire attributes!"
And his body had already rushed forward the moment the arrow fell, his figure suddenly turned into a blur of black shadow, and the seal on the back of his hand burned brightly.
——"Shadow Refuge."
