The turpentine torch was half burned, and there were still five "prey" that hadn't been caught yet.
The five girls still disappeared into the woods. Of course Du Wei would not kindly think that Lu Gao would really spare these poor girls. But since he made a bet, Du Wei asked himself, at least he could try his best to save a little more lives.
"Then... let's begin!"
As the host, General Lu Gao announced the start of the game. Dozens of cavalry from the Northwest Army under him began to ride their horses and disperse into the woods.
Du Wei looked at Master Tata Yalo, smiled and bowed his body. His movements were elegant and his tone was easy-going: "Master Tata Yalo, please first."
This Tatayalo's eyes were more white than black, and he gave Du Wei a cold look. He was not polite, and his body floated up lightly, wearing a black robe, floating up like a ghost. After he pulled out a white bone wand from his body, tapped it lightly in mid-air, and muttered something, a cloud of black air emanated from the wand. Although the distance was far, many generals of the Northwest Army felt it faintly. Seeing the threatening coldness contained in the black air, there is also a faint creepy taste. Everyone couldn't help but subconsciously took a few steps back.
There were a few light clicks, and above the ground, several dense drum arms broke out of the ground, and then several skeleton ice broke out of the ground, crawling out from the ground. The quality of these skeleton soldiers is quite good. From Du Wei's point of view, most of their skeletons are complete. The bones were hard and glowed with a metallic luster, and although many of the armors on his body were cracked, most of them were still intact. Obviously this Tatayalo's family background is quite rich; a low-level skeleton like Miao Nian can be equipped with this kind of armor. And then Tatayalo cursed again and again, and under the eyes of everyone, he waved his bone wand a few times, and several cracks suddenly opened in the air, forming black holes one by one. After the black space rift. There was a shrill roar, and then several ghost knights riding black horses jumped out of the crack!
These necromantic knights are full of black flames all over their bodies, and the war horses under their crotches are also necromantic creatures, full of ferocity, especially the kind of dead air emanating from their bodies, which makes many people who stand close, read Ninja I couldn't help but feel the chills, like a chill. Straight from the heels to the back of the head.
And close to this kind of undead creature, many generals have war horses under their crotches. Immediately, he retreated as if full of fear, and became even more irritable. Even if the knight on the horse tried his best to appease him, it didn't have much effect.
Tata Yaluo's gentle laughter came, as if with a hint of pride, and then he waved his wand a few times, summoning these skeleton soldiers and necromancer knights under him, and he let out a kind of expression that even Du Wei couldn't understand. The strange language that he couldn't understand seemed to be communicating with these undead creatures. Finally, he pointed his wand at the distance of the forest and waved it vigorously...
All the undead creatures seemed to have received the order, and the five undead knights immediately jumped out and galloped towards the depths of the forest. And those skeleton ice didn't move slowly, and immediately scattered and sneaked into the forest.
Tatayalo sneered, glanced at Du Wei, and laughed in a harsh voice: "Master Duke, I'm leaving first!"
After speaking, he shook his arms, and his body floated into the forest like a ghost.
Du Wei watched the black magician enter the woods, a gloomy look flashed across his face, then he smiled again, and glanced at General Lu Gao: "General... your chief magician is indeed extraordinary!"
Lu Gao smiled slightly: "Du Wei, you're welcome. You are a well-known genius magician in the imperial capital. Let us also experience your aura and magic."
Du Wei pondered for a while. The black mage could summon many undead creatures to serve as his helpers. There are five people hidden in such a large forest, and it is indeed a lot of work to search inch by inch, and it can't hurt the opponent's life. The large-scale indiscriminate covering attack magic cannot be used.
Just... Summon Ents to help him search? But it doesn't work! Because those tree people are the lowest-level tree people's companions, without wisdom and self-awareness, they can only do some simple physical work according to Du Wei's command, but it is impossible to find someone.
Thinking of this, Du Wei thought for sure, and a smile appeared on his face.
He deliberately showed off, but he floated in mid-air unhurriedly, and then let out a long whistling sound.
The whistling sound seemed to be a faint call, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound from the forest!
The buzzing sound seemed to be coming from all directions one by one. When they got close, everyone was surprised to find that these were actually countless birds inhabiting the woods! There are hummingbirds from the northwest, yellow-feathered birds, and cuckoos... There are even a few owls!
So nearly a hundred birds flew to the front, but it seemed that they all landed on the branches obediently, surrounding Du Wei.
Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Du Wei whistled up and down, but it seemed to communicate with these birds. Those birds seemed to have received Du Wei's order, and with a buzzing sound, more than a hundred birds fluttered their wings and flew high in all directions. Sneaked into the woods.
I've only heard that magicians can summon magical creatures, or recover monsters to serve as their own pets...but never heard of any magic that can summon so many ordinary natural creatures
And it seems to be able to communicate with these birds? Is it possible that this duke can speak birds
But Du Wei surprised them far more than that.
After dispersing the birds, Du Wei had already laughed and landed on the ground, and in vain he raised his head to the sky and howled, but the sound was like howling a wolf!
Not long after, a few wolf howls echoed from the depths of the forest. Immediately, dots of gray shadows ran out of the woods, several coyotes came running, and all of them gathered in front of Du Wei.
The guards around Lu Gao immediately picked up their weapons and stopped in front of the general. The coyotes that had been summoned looked strong, but they seemed to be quite afraid of humans. Although they stopped beside Du Wei In front of him, he seemed to be a little irritable, pawing his claws back and forth, grinning at the soldiers of the Northwest Army in the distance.
Du Wei had already squatted down, whimpering at the coyotes, and didn't know what language he used to communicate with these animals. Anyway, after Du Wei stood up again, he raised his hand and pointed at the woods, and the coyotes immediately opened their paws and rushed into the woods...
"Hahahaha... Du Wei, you have opened our eyes!" Lu Gao took the lead to break the silence. The generals of the Northwest Army around were still staring at each other, but Lu Gao's eyes had already flashed With a trace of brilliance, he smiled and said, "Du Wei, what kind of magic is this? Even these beasts can obey your summons? I have only heard that black magicians can summon undead creatures, and most magicians only It's just a magic pet that can drive you... you... "
Du Wei smiled slightly and didn't answer, but bypassed the subject and said with a smile: "My lord, Mage Tatayalo can summon so many necromancer creatures, so I have no choice but to summon more in order not to lose too much. I won by the number." After a pause, he laughed again: "Okay, I don't dare to stay here for a long time, otherwise, I'm afraid Master Tatayalo will act too quickly, and I will lose face."
After finishing speaking, Du Wei jumped on the horse, yelled, and rode the horse to gallop into the woods, while Hussein followed closely behind.
;
When Du Wei's figure was in the forest when he was young, Lu Gao's face gradually became gloomy. Sebasta slowly came to Lu Gao's side and whispered, "Father."
As soon as Lu Gao raised his hand, he looked back and said, "Let's step back first."
The generals behind him looked terrified, and they all rode back far away.
"Father, look..." Sebasta's voice was low and full of worry.
"Wrong is right... It is indeed "Beauty under the Moon", but isn't this sword always in the hands of that Rodriguez? Rodriguez's whereabouts are unknown, and we can't find that guy, and this sword Beauty under the moon…”
Sebasta sneered coldly: "If Bai Hechou knew that the beauty under the moon was in the northwest, he would definitely come to snatch it desperately. Hmph... without this holy sword on the snow mountain, he, the witch king of the snow mountain The location, the name is not justified!"
Lu Gao was silent for a while: "Back then, Gu Lan repaired the snow-capped mountains and took this sword away... I have always been worried about one thing... that is the blue sea! This guy is in the imperial capital, and he has done so many secret arrangements over the years! Lan Xiu originally wanted to pass on the position of the Witch King to Lan Hai. Although Bai Hechou is strong, but without this holy sword, many secrets on the snow-capped mountains cannot be opened! I have always suspected that this sword is in Lan Hai's hands, but it is a pity Over the years, I have been inquiring openly and secretly, but I have not been able to get any news... I even doubted... Gu Ranxiu, this old guy, would not have escaped by feigning death again, and could that Rodriguez be Gu Ranxiu's disciple! Otherwise, , How could the beauty under the moon fall into the hands of an outsider... But today, it seems that things have become complicated again!"
Sebasta thought for a while and said, "No matter what, this sword is now in the hands of this Du Wei, so the identity of this Du Wei..."
Lu Gao was indifferent, his eyes were full of complexities and contradictions, and he suddenly asked, "Do you think this Du Wei is Gu Lanxiu's disciple?"
Sebasta smiled: "Father is so confused! That guy Gu Lanxiu has been dead for decades, how old is this Du Wei? I think Du Wei is probably Lan Hai's apprentice. This beauty under the moon, maybe It has always been in the hands of Lan Hai, and now it has been passed to Du Wei."
"Humph!" Lu Gao snorted coldly: "Originally, the beauty under the moon was in the hands of Rodriguez. That guy was a paladin, and his whereabouts were uncertain. We couldn't find him, so we had no choice. Now... since this The sword is in the northwest, no matter what happens this time, I can't let the sword be thrown away!"
Sebasta sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Father, back then you dismissed the position of the Witch King and allowed Bai Hechou to be the lord of the Snow Mountain. Why do you value this beauty under the moon so much?"
"What do you know!" Lu Gao said indifferently: "I am now the leader of the Northwest Legion of the Roland Empire, sitting on an army of 200,000, and dominating the Northwest. Who can control me? How comfortable is this! Compared to him, Bai Hechou Sitting on the top of the snow-capped mountain, suffering from the bitter cold all year round, and holding on to that ridiculous mission in the snow-capped mountain is much better! Although I dismiss the so-called mission in the snow-capped mountain, there are still many things that I value on the big snow-capped mountain. Don't talk about anything else... Just those things hidden on the snow-capped mountains, don't you feel moved after I tell you!? Hmph... "
Sebasta sighed: "It's just hateful... Gu Lanxiu, an old guy, who loved Lan Hai and Bai Hechou all his heart back then, but to you..."
"Shut up! Don't yell at Huaiji, and yelled at his son in a low voice in vain. His voice was serious, and he said harshly: "Listen up! I have reminded you many times! I can speak ill of Gu Ranxiu, but you can't! No one can disrespect Gu Lanxiu in front of me! Do you remember? ! "
Sebasta was silent, he stepped back slowly, bowed and said, "It's... Father!"
Only then did Lu Gao nodded in satisfaction, then looked up at the sky, and sighed faintly: "After all... this old fellow Gu Lanxiu... is my... teacher!"
He looked up at the sky. Sebasta next to him stood with his head bowed, but a faint sharpness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
After a long time, Lu Gao said leisurely: "Look at that guy Du Wei...what kind of magic is he casting? Does it look like..."
Only then did Sebasta raise his head and look at his father: "I was wondering too... He was able to drive so many natural creatures just now, which is very similar to the witchcraft on the snow mountain that you mentioned, father." Kind of... "Beast Language". However, being able to practice animal language and become a "Beast Whisperer" is a talent that probably hasn't appeared on the mainland for hundreds of years! This Du Wei..."
"That's what I'm worried about!" Lu Gao gritted his teeth: "This Du Wei's talent is very good. He has won such a big reputation in the imperial capital at a young age. His magical power... will definitely not be low! As for the beauty, I don’t know if he has learned the martial arts of Daxueshan... If he has learned the martial arts of Daxueshan, he has also learned the witchcraft of Xueshan... Then we will be in big trouble!"
"It's better..." Sebasta's eyes flashed fiercely: "Leave his life in Watt City, the sword will naturally..."
"Can't kill!" Lu Gao suddenly had a flash of fear in his eyes: "You are not from Daxue Mountain, so you don't understand its mysteries! There is a strange curse on Daxue Mountain. Anyone who has learned the witchcraft of Daxue Mountain cannot be killed. Death is also a companion who knows snow mountain witchcraft! Otherwise... you will be cursed and miserable for life!"
Sebasta obviously didn't take it seriously: "Father, do you believe such illusory statements?"
"Shut up!" Lu Gao said coldly: "Of course you don't believe it! But look at that guy Bai Hechou! Although I am conceited, I have to admit that he is indeed the most talented person that Daxueshan hasn't seen in hundreds of years. Whether it is witchcraft or Daxueshan martial arts, his level of cultivation is far above us, even our teacher Gu Lanxiu was easily defeated by him! But it was because he did not believe in this curse back then, in order to seize The position of the Witch King opened the killing ring on the snow mountain... As a result, look! Such a powerful person has been trapped on the snow mountain all his life, not allowed to go down the snow mountain! Otherwise, with Bai Hechou's ability, if he can go down the mountain and enter the world, the mainland Whether it is a magister or a paladin, who is his opponent? It is because he recklessly killed his companion who was practicing witchcraft on the snow-capped mountain that he ended up today! You give me a firm grip Remember... that Du Wei, if he hadn't learned snow mountain witchcraft, it would be nothing to grab a sword and kill someone! Although I knew I couldn't kill him now, but for the beauty under the moon... the risk is worth it! But... if he If you really learned Snow Mountain Witchcraft, then this person must not be killed!"
Sebasta gritted his teeth: "In this case... what Du Wei just used is clearly the beast language..."
"Then... we can only find another way." Lu Gao thought carefully for a while: "If it is a last resort... it is acceptable for us to bow our heads to him."
"Even if we can't kill him...he is on our territory now, father, you have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, are you afraid that he can run away? Even if he is a magister or a paladin, he can't kill him alone. Fight against the entire Northwest Army, as long as he is not killed by your own hands, father, it will not be considered a violation of the curse oath."
"No, no!" Lu Gao suddenly became anxious: "Sebasta! You don't understand! There are some things that I can't tell you now! In short...you listen to me! Du Wei, this guy, is there any Until it is determined that he can’t do witchcraft, he must not move! Even if he loses a hair, I will ask you about it!! Starting today, you will be responsible for "protecting" his safety! Under any circumstances, you must not Let him get hurt!"
