This beast, whose fur is the color of dead branches, knows how to hide itself very well. It uses its big mouth to hold its prey tightly until it can't move.
The beast released its big mouth and took a breath. Just as it was gasping for breath, a sharp arrow shot into its eyeball. The arrow was not only incredibly fast but also incredibly powerful. Half of the long arrow went directly into the beast's eye.
The beast leaped twice while roaring and fell to the ground. The arrow smashed its brain as it jumped.
Lin Xingchen and Colliver flew down from a tall tree and jumped to the side of the beast. They kicked the twitching beast and said, "Collliver, you lost! Hurry and carry him back."
Colliver grabbed the beast and carried it on his body. Fortunately, he was very strong, otherwise the weight of several hundred kilograms alone would have given him, an ordinary person, a headache for a while.
Caitlin was boiling water in the camp by the stream. Marcy and Scarlett were both busy with their own things. When they heard the sound of the motherboard acting as an alarm, Marcy immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Don't worry, we're back. Marcy, come and help us!" As soon as Colliver saw Marcy, he shouted for him to come over and help.
"You two went hunting together, why did you carry it alone? I remembered that you always carried it with two people?" Ma Xi was a little puzzled, but still went over to help carry the beast's body.
"Haha... he made a bet with me. I said I could hit the prey's eye with one arrow, but he didn't believe me and made another bet with me. In the end, he lost and had to carry the big one back by himself, while I only had to carry the small one." Lin Xingchen said with a smile.
"Sometimes I really wonder if you've lost your brain. You bet on something like bow and arrow hit rate with a man of elven descent. If you don't lose, who will?" Caitlin said speechlessly.
"I just forgot for a moment! After all, I have never heard of an elf cooking and eating meat." Colliver was a little resentful. After all, there were many people with elven blood on the continent, but most of their habits were in the direction of the elves.
"You can't blame anyone else for not learning your lesson." Scarlett was also speechless.
"Well, stop talking about all that and quickly get rid of this beast so he can cook a good meal."
"A table of delicious food can make people forget all the unpleasant things. Five people eating together will be very happy."
"We have been here for nearly seven days, and we still don't know where we are. But according to my estimation, it will take us at least half a month to get out of the forest." Lin Xingchen shared what he had found out today while eating.
"Don't worry. Once our two beautiful magicians recover, we can go anywhere." Colliver has always been so optimistic.
"Okay, let's eat early, and then we can all rest early and recover sooner." Caitlin didn't like talking while eating, as it went against the etiquette of the nobility.
The person who was on guard in the second half of the night was Ma Xi. This diligent man took the initiative to take on the most uncomfortable period of the guard.
Following the sound of wooden boards, Ma Xi, who had his eyes closed to rest, opened his eyes and picked up his sword. As the noise became more and more frequent, Lin Xingchen and others also quickly climbed up.
"What happened to Marcy?" Caitlin asked anxiously.
"We seem to have encountered a herd of beasts, and they are surrounding us."
"You can remove the 'seem'. We are really surrounded. My warning magic has also been triggered. The number of people is at least hundreds." Lin Xingchen also had a gloomy face. He was in a bad mood when he got out of bed. He was going to teach these guys who disturbed his sleep a lesson.
In the dark forest, a pair of green eyes appeared in front of everyone. Caitlin raised her right hand and a soft light illuminated the shapes of the things on the opposite side.
Those were wolves that looked like little calves, all of them opened their mouths wide and drooled as they stared at the delicious food in front of them.
"Lin, haven't you always wanted to know where we are? I'm telling you now, we are in the Misty Mountains." Caitlin's voice was trembling.
When Lin Xingchen heard the words "Misty Mountains", his heart skipped a beat. He and his friends were so unlucky.
"What should we do with Clive? We are in a desperate situation now. What should we do..." Scarlett held Clive's arm with tears streaming down her face.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here. Calm down first and we can talk about it after tonight." Colliver comforted Scarlett with a rare gentle tone.
"Huff..." He exhaled. "Marcy and Clive, you two protect Caitlin and the others. Leave the rest to me!"
He picked up the magic wand and cast several layers of shields on himself, and the beasts on the opposite side also rushed forward.
A dozen wolf beasts were attacking him. "Lin, be careful. This is the corrosive breath of the Mist Wolf. It can corrode any armor and body."
Hearing what Caitlin said, Lin Xingchen was so scared that he quickly added a few more layers of shields to himself.
With a wave of his hand, a crack appeared in the place where the magic wand was pointing, like a mirror. More than a dozen magic wolves appeared at this position, and the crack suddenly split open and cut the magic wolves in half.
The same thing happened in several places. As the magic power continued to increase, cracks appeared like spider webs in all directions where the wolves attacked.
Cracks kept exploding, and any demon wolf touched by these exploding silver fragments would lose arms and legs or fall to the ground and die suddenly.
The magic wolves attacked quickly and retreated quickly. The creatures' instinct made these low-intelligence magic wolves flee with their tails between their legs.
The demon wolves that fell to the ground, whether dead or disabled, had wisps of black mist flowing out of their wounds. As the black mist became more and more, Caitlin on the side finally realized that there was a serious problem.
"Lin..., run quickly. This is the poisonous fog left by the death of the magic wolf. Once absorbed or contaminated, you will be poisoned." Upon hearing this, Lin Xingchen quickly blew a wind magic, hoping to blow away these black houses. As a result, these wind magics were unable to blow away the black fog.
"Don't use wind magic, it's useless against the black fog. Just run." Seeing that Lin Xingchen still wanted to try again, Caitlin urged him anxiously again.
Naturally they couldn't stay for long since the situation wasn't right, so they cast a sprint spell on the four of them. They finally rushed out before the black fog surrounded them.
It was so dark that they naturally didn't dare to go anywhere else. Fortunately, they found a tall pile of rocks while hunting these days, less than a hundred meters away from the camp. The five of them spent an agonizing night on the pile of rocks.
The next morning, looking at the worried eyes of several people, Lin Xingchen didn't know how to comfort them, but he took out some fruits and handed them to them to fill their stomachs temporarily.
"I've only heard of the Misty Mountains before. I only know that this place is known as the Jedi of Life, but I don't know why exactly. Can Caitlin tell me about it?"
"Lin, didn't your magic teacher or knowledge teacher tell you these?" Caitlin felt more at ease after eating something. Maybe it was because it was daybreak.
"The Misty Mountains are called the Jedi of Life because there are countless mutant monsters here. If it were just ordinary monsters, places like the Elf Forest would be dangerous. The reason why it is called the Jedi is that you saw it last night. Once many monsters here die, a kind of black fog will appear.
This is also the origin of the name of the Misty Mountains. The black fog can not only corrode any metal, but also corrode a person's body and mental strength.
Many adventure groups wanted to come here to explore the mysteries or hunt for treasures, but in the end, most of them did not make it out of the mountains alive."
"We have such bad luck! I remember the location of the Misty Mountains is in the Kusero Mountains. It seems that your teleportation scroll is really random." Colliver could still tell a joke at this time.
"Okay, this is not Lin's fault. If it weren't for his scroll, we would have died long ago. Let's all be careful and see if we can get out of here alive." Caitlin interrupted Colliver's joke in time, not wanting everyone to be upset over it.
"Everyone, I don't think you need to be too pessimistic. It has been eight days since we entered the Misty Mountains. We only encountered the situation last night. As long as we are careful, we may be able to get out safely!" Lin Xingchen didn't know what to say. Since he had fallen into the pit, he could only comfort himself.
"If possible, I hope to find a safe place to wait until Scarlett and I have fully recovered our mental strength. By then, the two of us will be able to help and our chances will be greater."
"Don't worry, everyone! There are always more solutions than problems." I really don't know how to comfort people, so I can only come up with a toxic chicken soup.
After the sun came out, Lin Xingchen and Colliver went to the Wish Base. The black fog had dissipated, and the dead magic wolves were only a pile of bones left. In some places with severe black fog, there were not many facial bones left.
He looked at the remaining things in the tent, took back everything that could be used, and set up camp again where the rocks were piled.
This time the camp was set up more carefully than last time, and more than a dozen warning magics were set up, all for safety reasons.
We carefully waited until dark, and no one was in the good mood as before.
The one who was on guard in the first half of the night was Lin Xingchen. He sat cross-legged and practiced that crappy nameless martial art and began to meditate.
The space magic he performed last night consumed a lot of his magic power, but the biggest benefit was his ability to use space magic.
