"Red-eyed crow? We met it when we first came here, and it was easily killed by Instructor Dorot, and it seems to use a spell related to acid corrosion?" Leylin rubbed his chin, remembering the scene when he first entered the academy. .
"We rushed over there as soon as possible and started patrolling. For this mission, we need to bring the right paws of ten red-eyed crows as proof of mission completion... Do you have any questions?"
Crewell finally asked the question, showing some leadership style. They all shook their heads when they saw Leylin, and continued: "Since we are all teammates now, don't hide it. Each of us will report the approximate strength, and let everyone I understand! I will come first myself!"
"Claywell, knight-level physical fitness, masters secret techniques, and even a zero-level spell!"
"Claywell, I didn't expect you to have learned spells. It seems that you are ahead of me... Ni Lan, knight-level physical fitness, mastered the secret technique, I am still learning the zero-level spell-tired hand, but I can't use it yet !" Ni Lan glanced at Crewell, a little surprised.
"Lilith, I... I have also been trained as a knight. The coach said that I am good at darts, but I don't know spells yet!" Lilith was a little shy.
"Lan Nuo, a preparatory knight, I don't know spells, but I'm good at arching!" Unexpectedly, both Krewell and Ni Lan have already started learning spells. Lan Nuo blushed a little, and then patted the wooden bow on his back , "Don't worry, I won't drag you down!"
"Leylin, a reserve-level knight, has mastered a spell!" Leylin touched his nose.
"Even you have mastered spells... oh! I'm sorry!" Lan Nuo was a little lost. He and Leylin came together at the beginning, so he knew that Leylin's aptitude was only third-class, but he didn't expect that the other party's strength had begun to surpass him. wait.
"It's okay!" Leylin shook his head, expressing that he didn't mind.
In fact, as long as the resources can keep up, Lan Nuo's meditation speed is far faster than him, but Lan Nuo does not have so many magic stones in exchange for knowledge and some precious resources, and he has gradually begun to be compared by him.
"As expected of Lord Lei Lin! Do you know what people outside say about you?" Ni Lan had admiration in her eyes.
"Oh? I want to hear other people's evaluation!"
"A rare genius in 50 years of pharmacy! If you didn't already have a mentor, several other pharmacy professors would definitely invite you to be their personal disciple!" Ni Lan cleared her throat, and the stars in her eyes were about to pop come out.
Seeing Ni Lan's fiery eyes, and the faces of Lilith and Lan Nuo, Leylin smiled wryly.
In order to sell the potion as soon as possible, he had to pretend to be a talented potion apprentice, and fortunately, Senior Merlin was on top to attract firepower for him, otherwise he would have received even more attention.
"That's right! Leylin, the potions you usually sell are already enough to exchange for resources, right? Why do you want to come out?"
Lan Nuo asked in a low voice.
"Is this? It's boring to stay in the academy all the time, and I just learned spells, so I need to be proficient!"
Leylin's main purpose is to accumulate experience and prepare for going out alone to find black market channels in the future, but of course this cannot be said.
"Okay! The gossip ends here! Although our destination is not too far away, there are many troubles along the way! It will be dark if we don't do anything!"
Crewell clapped his hands, took the machete in his hand, and walked in the front.
"Let's go!" Leylin followed after him.
"I want to be with you!" Ni Lan walked beside Lei Lin, making no secret of her pursuit.
Lilith followed, and Lan Nuo followed at the end.
"Be careful! There is still an open space near the academy, and it will be much more dangerous to enter the forest now!" Crewell reminded as he walked.
Regardless of Ni Lan who was on the side, Leylin cheered up and turned the detection chip to the maximum.
This was his first exposure to the dangerous outside world, so he couldn't help but be careless.
The Black Bone Forest Academy is located in the depths of a black forest. Above the academy is a dilapidated cemetery, surrounded by only some low grass and shrubs. It is not very dangerous, but after entering the forest, it is covered by countless trees. The sacred place for hunting creatures, Leylin remembered, they were attacked in the Black Forest at the very beginning.
"Warning! Warning! An unknown creature is found approaching, the threat level to the main body: light!"
As the sound of the chip came, in Leylin's field of vision, the light blue lines formed a three-dimensional picture. From the picture, Leylin could clearly see that a red line was winding towards this side. Come.
"call out!"
A black figure suddenly emerged from the grass, biting hard at Crewell's neck.
Crewell's expression remained unchanged, and the black knife in his hand turned into an arc, bouncing the shadow away.
The black shadow fell to the ground, revealing its original shape, a black snake more than one meter long, with only one vertical eye on its triangular head, and faint bloodstains around the scales.
"It's the Cyclops, beware of its venom!" Ni Lan reminded.
At this moment, Lilith, who was following behind, shot suddenly, and three throwing knives flew out from three directions, shooting at the Iron Cyclops.
The iron-threaded one-eyed snake shrank suddenly, dodging two flying knives, and the last one passed by the snake's body, leaving a bloodstain.
"Hey!" Crewell stepped forward suddenly, the black machete slashed across the head of the Cyclops, the black blade glowed coldly, and chopped off the head of the Iron Wire Cyclops in one stroke!
The body of the snake that lost its head was entangled in a circle, and the gap was still bleeding.
"Ah!" Lilith exclaimed.
"It's dead, it's just a natural reaction of the body, haven't you studied neurology?" Ni Lan snorted coldly.
"This iron-threaded one-eyed snake is only useful for its poison sac and snake skin. If you want to go up and collect materials, the smell of blood will soon attract other animals!" Crewell retracted his knife and slowly talking.
"I'm coming!" Lan Nuo stepped forward, and after some busy work, the five of them continued on their way.
"Chip! Have you recorded the data just now?"
"Ding! Recorded! Iron Wire Cyclops: Snake subspecies Strength: 1.1 Dexterity: 2.1 Constitution: 1.6 Blood samples have been collected, and the composition of muscle tissue has been recorded!"
The feedback from the chip is very timely. Leylin nodded and quickened his pace.
Ten days later, a place in the Black Forest.
A red-eyed crow fluttered among the branches with its smart eyes open, combing its feathers from time to time.
"Hoo!" Suddenly, a white arrow shot.
"Crack!" The red-eyed crow fluttered away, and on its way to dodge, there were three more white lights, which contained three silver throwing knives.
The red-eyed crow flashed a graceful arc, avoided the flying knife, and landed in an open space.
"Kill!" A figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes on one side, holding a black knife in both hands, and slashed at the red-eyed crow. It turned out that the bow, arrow and throwing knife just now were to force the red-eyed crow to the ground.
With a strong wind, the black blade slashed at the red-eyed crow.
"Quack!!" The red-eyed crow yelled loudly, making an ugly sound.
A glimmer of human annoyance flashed in the crow's red eyes, and a pair of black claws met the black knife.
clang! ! !
Although the red-eyed crow was larger than the average crow, it was only about the size of a rooster, and it actually used its claws to repel the knight holding the black knife.
"Gah!" the red-eyed crow yelled, and a few black feathers floated down from its body.
While the knight was retreating, the red-eyed crow pounced on it, grabbing the knight's face with its sharp claws!
"Pandora-Gregor!"
An urgent and fast incantation sounded, and a ball of green solution suddenly flew out and hit the red-eyed crow.
Bark! ! ! The white mist continued to rise, and there were the screams of red-eyed crows.
A few seconds later, the red-eyed crow's screams disappeared completely, leaving only a big pit on the ground, with a few feathers in it that were too late to corrode.
"It's okay! Crewell!"
There was a commotion in the bushes, and several figures emerged.
The knight shook his head, "It's okay! Although the red-eyed crow has knight-level strength and can fly, it is no match for humans with weapons on the ground!"
He looked at the person in the middle again: "Leylin! The timing of the acid splash just now was very good!"
"It's everyone's cooperation!" Leylin smiled.
Crewell then came to the edge of the big pit, used a branch to push the feathers out of the big pit, and picked out two black claws.
The edges of the black claws are sharp and glowing with a cold light, as if describing the difficulty of the original owner.
"The acid splash is powerful, but it has almost corroded the red-eyed crow. Except for the hardest claws, there is nothing left..." Crewell felt a little regretful.
"Hmph! If it wasn't for Leylin, you might have to pay a price to take down this red-eyed crow!" Ni Lan snorted coldly.
"That's right!" Crewell retracted the black knife into its scabbard. He was much more mature now, and he knew that Ni Lan had always had a bit of a vicious tongue, so he wasn't very angry.
"In addition to this red-eyed crow, we have hunted enough. Next, shall we return to the academy to hand in the task?"
Looking at the somewhat tired Lan Nuo and the others, Crewell asked.
"Of course we went back! The forest is too dangerous, we can't even sleep well at night!" Ni Lan said immediately.
The other two, Lilith and Lan Nuo, also nodded quickly.
Leylin also felt a little tired. The Black Forest was full of dangers. Even though he had a chip alert, he had been worried for several days, and his spirit was very tired. Now he also began to miss the hot water and beds in the academy.
"Okay! Then let's go back first!"
Crewell put away the claws of the red-eyed crow with some pity, "It's a pity! With our strength, we can hunt and kill more red-eyed crows. These crows are much more valuable than the iron-haired one-eyed snakes before..."
"Magic stones can't be earned, but our current team members have almost exhausted their physical strength and have reached a dangerous line. If we don't return to the academy as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be mistakes in the next hunt, and even casualties! "
Leylin's voice was cold. He had always been a calm-headed person, and he would not be bound by the slightest profit in front of him.
"Okay! Then let's go back!"
Crewell just pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Hearing Crewell's words, the faces of the other four people all improved a lot, and even Ni Lan, who was a bit venomous, had a smile on her face.
A group of people hastily packed up and set foot on the return journey.
