It was completely dark, and the sled drove quietly into the frozen forest. At the edge of the forest, the trees are still relatively sparse, and the sled can barely pass through the gaps in the forest.
What opened Du Wei's eyes was that the old magician's way of driving those sledge dogs was really wonderful! He doesn't use whips or slogans like any animal trainer, often just some simple instructions, such as run, stop, even simplified to a whistle, or even a simple gesture! As if those snow dogs could fully understand human language and gestures, they obediently followed every instruction of the old magician.
"You... don't you cast the same magic on these dogs as I do?" Du Wei asked curiously. Since getting along these days, Du Wei also likes to ask some questions. Although most of the questions the magician can't answer, Du Wei also knows that as long as he doesn't run away and don't annoy this old guy, he won't abuse himself.
"What do you think?" The magician replied with a touch of mockery: "You are much more obedient to these dogs."
Saying that, the sled started to slow down, and the forest in front became narrower and narrower, making it difficult for the sled to continue moving forward.
The magician stopped the sled and gave Du Wei a light kick: "Get out of the car, kid. Don't lie here and stay still. Has no one taught you that in the ice and snow, the more you are afraid of the cold and do not move, the more likely you will be?" The easier it is to freeze to death.”
After Du Wei got up, the old magician looked around and said calmly, "We will live here tonight."
"Live here?" Du Wei couldn't help complaining: "You... you can't live in a good town, but you just have to catch up to live in the woods... I thought you were going to travel overnight! Since you didn't travel overnight Come on, why didn't we live in town before?"
"Because I like it, are you satisfied with this answer?" The old magician smiled and replied, looking at Du Wei, his tone was still very kind: "Now, there is a tent in the baggage under your buttocks. If you don't get up again, I will Make sure your mouth hurts again."
Mouth hurts... This old guy is going to order himself to slap himself again! Du Wei couldn't help but shiver. Although Du Wei is very smart, there is really nothing he can do about this kind of old guy who is not soaked in oil and salt, and the strength of the opponent is almost 108,000 times stronger than his own.
Cursed in his stomach, Du Wei got up slowly, unpacked his bags and started pitching a tent.
As for the work of pitching tents, Du Wei has become very proficient in training on the road these days.
This time, the old magician finally didn't wait for Du Wei to finish his work like the old man, and he also got busy carefully.
Du Wei secretly watched the old magician's every move: the old guy took out a small bottle from his robe, and evenly sprinkled some green powder from it.
He sprinkled the powder around, forming a large circle, enclosing the two men with the sled and the tent.
I don't know what the powder is made of. After being sprinkled on the ground, it immediately melted the surrounding ice and snow, and released a faint green light in the dark night... It looked a bit like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Moreover, Du Wei noticed that those obedient snow dogs seemed to be extremely afraid of these green powders! The originally docile snow dog suddenly became extremely nervous, its fluffy body curled up into a ball, its whole body was shaking, and at the same time it kept howling sadly and terrifyingly.
After finishing some work, the magician looked at the surrounding green circle with satisfaction, then went over, and gently comforted the dogs. He just patted the snow dogs twice with his wide and thick palm, and then He whispered, "Okay, okay, don't worry...it's okay..."
The dogs lay down again.
After setting up the tent, Du Wei leaned over: "What is this?"
"To prevent trouble." The old magician put away the bottle. He was wearing a thin robe all over his body. He didn't know where his bottles and jars were usually hidden. If you touch it, you can find something.
"trouble?"
The old magician smiled and said, "My child, this is a frozen forest! The most common here are not trees, but monsters! There are many monsters that you have never heard of or seen. Especially at night, monsters like to attack Those unsuspecting, sleeping prey. There are often many adventurers who fall asleep at night and become the dinner of monsters...the next day they become feces."
"A great magician like you is also afraid of monsters?" Du Wei laughed.
"I'm not afraid." The magician shook his head: "But when we two humans are in this forest, it's like throwing two pieces of meat in a pile of flies! Do you understand? It will definitely attract a lot of things. Although those things are right We don't pose much of a threat, but there are too many flies. It's very troublesome to chase away a group and come back again. And, as I said... I want to reduce the consumption of mana as much as possible before I reach the destination. Now, you light a fire, We are going to bed... Remember to do the set of movements I taught you before going to bed, or you will freeze into a popsicle in the middle of the night, and I will not care about you."
Du Wei was helpless... He didn't want to let himself be commanded like a robot again, so he just did it honestly.
Although it still hurts when the body is twisted and stretched, Du Wei knew the benefits of this set of movements, so he endured the pain and finished it.
The old magician watched Du Wei complete the task with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes. He took out a scroll from his arms and opened it gently.
This is a scroll of wind magic. The old magician used this scroll to create a windproof enchantment around it, and then pointed to the tent: "Okay, go to sleep."
"I still want to ask... what are those green powders?"
"Are you really curious? I'm worried that if you know, you won't be able to sleep at night." The old magician smiled maliciously.
"... Tell me." Du Wei said slowly, "I'm very curious. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep."
"Okay! Those are... dragon dung." The old magician shrugged. "You wouldn't mind sleeping in the dragon's dung, would you?"
Du Wei: "..."
Dragon poop
No wonder... Many animals and beasts rely on smell and the smell of feces or urine to divide their territories. Dragons are without a doubt the most powerful creatures in nature.
Sprinkle it here with dragon feces, then other monsters must think there is a dragon here!
What Warcraft dares to have the guts to provoke a dragon
Although this method is very good, but... Du Wei shook his head. Fortunately, the excrement of these dragons is not smelly.
In the middle of the night, Du Wei woke up. To be precise, he woke up from the cold.
In the tent, the old magician squinted his eyes, sleeping soundly and breathing evenly. There was originally a small crystal ball hanging on the head in the tent, but the old magician still showed some kindness. A magic scroll of the fire system was used to turn the crystal ball into a "heater" that slowly emitted heat, making the tent much warmer.
But in the middle of the night, the heat on the crystal ball had dissipated. Du Wei's hands and feet were cold, so he had to get up, opened the tent, and honestly repeated the set of actions in the snow.
After finishing a set of movements, Du Wei's whole body has returned to warmth, and his hands and feet have gradually warmed up. He sighed: The flexibility of his body is getting better and better. The old magician's set of movements is really good. effective.
"If you had met me a few years ago and practiced this set of movements twice a day, your body wouldn't be so bad now." In the tent, the old magician said suddenly with his eyes closed.
Du Wei wasn't surprised at all... This old guy seemed to be sleeping soundly, but no movement could escape his ears! Regarding this point, Du Wei had already confirmed it when he tried to escape a few nights ago.
"I really didn't expect... a descendant of the mighty Wu Xun family, the Luo Lin family, to have such a weak boy like you." After finishing speaking, the old magician turned over and continued to sleep.
Du Wei sighed, he stood in the snow, looking at the night...
The moon above the head has come out, and the moonlight shines on the forest and on the white snow.
In the forest, there were faint howls or two in the distance, and I don't know what kind of monster it was. But a few snow dogs slept very soundly. Du Wei tiptoed to the side.
After sleeping in the middle of the night, he had the urge to urinate, so he found a big tree root in the circle of the dragon's excrement, opened his pants and urinated, and then shivered violently.
It is said that further north, the weather will be even colder, so cold that even peeing is dangerous! It is said that in that kind of cold weather, if anyone dares to open his pants to pee in the wild, it is guaranteed to freeze his little dick off!
Du Wei sighed, and looked back at the tent... When will this kind of day end
This old guy hijacked himself and left without answering any questions. Du Wei was already full of questions. He didn't even know what he kidnapped himself for.
Out of anger for her apprentice? Conscience of heaven and earth, apart from blackmailing Vivienne with some magic tools, Du Wei treated that little silly girl pretty well. When he was on a deserted island, he still took good care of that little girl.
Even if he wanted to vent his anger, he had suffered a lot along the way, so if he was angry, he should have vented it, right
So, kidnap yourself and blackmail the Rollins family
Du Wei smiled... This old guy must have a lot of background. Even if the Luo Lin family is very powerful, it may not be in his eyes. Is there anything he can covet
So... Could it be for Chris who was imprisoned on the desert island? But this old guy must know more than himself! What's the use of kidnapping yourself
Du Wei thought for a while, but still had no idea, and was about to go back to sleep...
Suddenly, in the dark forest, a voice startled him!
call out!
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat! His current mental strength is quite amazing, and he is also extremely sensitive to the movements around him! He had spent so many days in the barracks next to the castle, and he could hear it immediately... It was the sound of bows and arrows!
Then, suddenly there was a human scream in the distance!
A roar came along with the screams of people in the dark night, followed by the sound of more people screaming...
In the distance, about in the northeast direction, Du Wei vaguely saw a red light flashing in the darkness! It was as if there was a fire!
Faintly, there was a roaring sound, and then the sound of human footsteps came from the forest... The sound was very panic, as if they were running away...
Du Wei frowned, he squatted down, and listened quietly...
One... two... three... It seems that there are five or six people's footsteps in total. These people are breathing very fast and running in a panic, but they are coming towards me!
There was a roar... as if it was the roar of a wild beast, and immediately there was another human scream, as if it was a fleeing man caught up by a wild beast...
Well, there was one less footstep, and another guy died presumably.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came to the front. Du Wei saw four people running over in a panic one after another in the woods. These people were all wearing leather jackets, one was wearing a leather armor, and the other was holding a machete... But there was only half of the knife left.
The last one was the worst, half of his body was red, and he didn't know whether it was his own blood or his companion's blood. He held a bow in his hand, and shouted as he ran, "Quick! Quick! It's coming! It's coming! It killed the captain! Run!!"
The person in front had already run across a row of trees, saw Du Wei at a glance, and suddenly shouted: "There are people here!"
Before Du Wei could speak, the four snow dogs behind him had already got up, grinning at the visitor behind Du Wei, jumping and barking...
