When the ice sword passed through the air somewhere, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The raging fire that surrounded Benjamin disappeared in that moment, not even a cigarette was left behind. The Rabbit Monster, which was still standing in another place just now, with two eyes shining red, also disappeared like a reflection in the water.
Instead, a strange purple thing appeared on a branch penetrated by the ice arrow.
… finally showed up.
Benjamin looked at it carefully and saw that it was still a creature in the form of a rabbit, but its appearance was completely different from that of an ordinary rabbit. It doesn't have thick down, it seems like it has some skin disease and has lost most of its hair, making it look bald. And the exposed part is very similar to the kind of skin that has been abused, with patches of blue and purple, and the color distribution is extremely uneven. Coupled with its fly-like compound eyes, it makes people feel chilly.
"This rabbit... is really ugly." Therefore, Benjamin had to agree with the system's initial conclusion.
Is the so-called Warcraft just such a ghost thing
Of course, Benjamin didn’t dare to underestimate the thing in front of him. Being able to create such a realistic and weird illusion, the danger level of the entire forest in his mind immediately rose back up, and increased by several percentage points.
If there was no systematic reminder, he would probably be embarrassed by this ugly rabbit.
Fortunately, the system's way of observing the world seems to be different from his. Therefore, the rabbit monster deceived Benjamin and the water element, but did not deceive the system.
The system can be regarded as once again playing a role beyond GPS and chat history.
After the illusion was dispelled, Benjamin also saw that he had stabbed a wound on the torso of the rabbit monster with an ice sword, and green blood slowly flowed out - the injury was not serious, and it had not lost the ability to move.
Therefore, Benjamin did not take it lightly and prepared to continue to control the ice sword and launch the next round of attacks.
However, after the Rabbit Monster was injured, it seemed to have lost the ability to create hallucinations. At the same time, it seemed to realize that the situation was not good. It twisted its body and turned around to run away before the ice sword could be struck down.
The wounds on its body did not affect its agile speed at all.
"Don't let it run away. This kind of monster should be quite rare. Although I don't know what it is called, the materials on it must be very precious." The system shouted out quickly.
"You don't have to say it." Benjamin naturally understood this truth.
While the rabbit was kicking its legs and taking off, he quickly controlled the ice sword floating on the side. It suddenly exploded from the inside and turned into countless sharp and tiny ice fragments, flying around.
The rabbit's speed is already very fast, like an arrow shot out of the string. However, the overwhelming broken ice was like a heavy rain, blocking all directions. Therefore, when it was halfway through the jump, its body was completely penetrated by the broken ice, and it was almost beaten into a sieve.
Just like that, the Rabbit Monster turned into a corpse while still in mid-air. Under the action of inertia, it drew a parabola and landed in the grass in the distance.
When Benjamin saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He first turned on the water element induction method, made sure there were no other monsters around, then walked over and picked up the body that fell on the ground.
However, what is somewhat incredible is that the rabbit that originally looked so ugly turned back into an ordinary rabbit at this moment, and the holes on its body that were punctured by broken ice disappeared. If he hadn't checked with the system again, Benjamin would have thought he was hallucinating again.
A bit magical…
So, after this kind of monster is killed, the wounds on its body will disappear, and then its bare skin will grow white fluff, and its compound eyes like a fly will turn into the eyes of an ordinary rabbit
This is no longer just magical, it should be considered weird.
Learned a lot...
After thinking about it, Benjamin decided not to waste time on this rabbit—it was already dead, could it still hallucinate? So, he used magic to freeze the rabbit body in ice and put it into his bag as his trophy. And his first head-to-head confrontation with the monsters in this world ended with a relatively happy ending.
Just as he was about to move forward and continue to look for the magical beast called "Dark Snake", he suddenly noticed a strange opening in the grass ahead.
He frowned and walked over. I saw that the originally continuous grass suddenly collapsed, as if it had been attacked by something, and it collapsed quite neatly. Benjamin got closer and observed more carefully for a while, and found that there was a faint smell of burning on the collapsed edge.
It's as if... some high-temperature spherical object hit here, causing this piece of grass to look like this.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Although he didn't feel any trace of elemental movement, this ground didn't look like it was created by some magical beast. After all, although Warcraft can also launch similar attacks, it is impossible to cause such a neat piece of collapse.
Has a mage passed by this place
Moreover, looking at the collapse of the ground, the magic hit probably happened not long ago. In other words, about an hour or two ago, a mage passed by this area. He may have encountered some kind of monster and had a battle. A certain magic accidentally hit this area of the ground, causing it to collapse.
Benjamin suddenly felt that something was not right.
If he remembered correctly, the old man said that the mages in the town were all potion mages with little fighting ability and would not go deep into the woods, and there were no other towns near the woods. In addition, the old man also said that all the adventurous mages in this area seemed to have been recruited by the queen and followed her to open the gate of Crusad. Therefore, there should be no mages in this forest during the recent period.
So what's going on
The queen was still fighting fiercely at the gate. Although Benjamin didn't know the situation of the battle, there was no news of retreat from the queen's side. Obviously, they would have to struggle with that gate for a while longer.
A mysterious mage appears in the woods...
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but become more vigilant. That magic was emitted just a few hours ago, which meant that the mage was probably still in the woods. He didn't know where the other party was coming from, so he had to be careful next.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Benjamin detoured this road and prepared to search in another area of the woods first. His purpose was to find the "dark snake" to exchange for the two books, so it was better not to make extraneous matters.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't even plan to stay calm for once. Half an hour later, he still bumped into the mysterious "mage" in the woods.
It may not be appropriate to use one, but what Benjamin discovered using the water element induction method were three unknown people sitting in the open space on the other side. Their mental senses are sharper than ordinary people, so they are all mages, but they are all dressed up like businessmen, with very realistic fake beards on their faces, and they look like they don't want anyone to know their identity. .
Seeing this scene, Benjamin felt even stranger.
In the territory of Ikol, there is no need for mages to hide their identities. These three people are so sneaky, which means there is something fishy here.
And, these aren’t the weirdest bits.
The strangest thing was that although Benjamin felt the keen mental power of the mage in them, the water element around them did not move like ordinary mages.
Of course, there are mages in this world who specialize in one type of magic, but even mages who only learn fire magic will learn all types of magic in the entry-level stage to determine which direction they are more suitable for. Therefore, even if he specializes in fire or wind magic, the water elements around the mage will react to varying degrees due to their affinity.
-This is also an important basis for Benjamin to identify mages.
However, when the three mages appeared in his forest at this moment, the water elements around them did not move at all, which meant that they had not tried to learn any water magic.
This is a bit strange.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but take a breath.
After all the wrong answers are eliminated, the remaining answer, no matter how incredible, is definitely the only correct answer to this question.
These three people are either all mages who use the method of opening up the consciousness space to practice, or... they are all spellcasters specializing in the light system, which is the so-called "priest" in this world.
