Chapter 151 048: People traveling with me
This is a huge oak tree. Its trunk is big enough for two or three people to hug. Branches as thick as human thighs extend out in all directions in a crooked manner, making it look like a large open umbrella.
On top of this open umbrella, human corpses were suspended with thumb-thick iron wires. There were as many as twenty or thirty of them, scattered and hanging everywhere, looking extremely creepy.
Luo Xi frowned: "What a bloody method."
These corpses had basically been burned to charcoal, but it was still not difficult to see that their limbs had been cut, and there was still some unburned blood on the ground.
It was obvious that someone had hung these people here on purpose, and then cut their limbs to let the blood flow, attracting the surrounding tree monsters through the large amount of blood, and finally catching all the tree monsters through the magic circle arranged below.
These charred bodies all showed obvious signs of struggle, and their faces were distorted and deformed. It looked like they were still alive when they were hung up, but were burned into this state in the fire.
"Is this the forest with so many tree monsters that Claire mentioned?"
It was probably here that Claire was attacked by a forest tree monster. According to him, there were originally dozens of tree monsters living in this area, and it was because of the attack by these tree monsters that he did not enter the misty forest in order to avoid them.
Luo Xi touched his chin and made a quick judgment: "How come all of them are here for that relic?"
The tree monsters are very afraid of fire, so it is obvious that they have set up such a fire magic circle and have driven a large number of humans here as bait specifically for this purpose. It is obvious that their purpose is to target the group of tree monsters here.
It is hard not to think that the deliberate extermination of the group of tree monsters here was to clear obstacles for the forest behind.
"It seems that Claire is not the only one who discovered the ruins!"
This is also expected. A relic has great appeal even to wizards, not to mention apprentices. Knowledge, resources, and magical materials, any one of them is an extremely valuable resource.
A mudblood of humble birth and mediocre talent accidentally obtained the inheritance of a powerful wizard in the ruins and then soared to fame.
Such legends actually happened in the wizarding world.
"Um?"
At this moment, Nilu suddenly bit Luo Xi's trouser leg and turned her head in one direction.
"Did you find those people?"
Luo Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "Then let's catch up and see."
As his mind moved, Nilu, who was lying on the ground, quickly expanded outwards. In an instant, she expanded several times and turned into a behemoth with a length of seven or eight meters.
Nilu put her big head on the ground. Luo Xi grabbed her ears, kicked her fur, turned over and climbed up, riding steadily on the wolf's head.
After Luo Xi had a firm grasp on her, Nilu rushed out with a whoosh.
It has to be said that in terms of land mounts, the hellhound is probably one of the most outstanding land mounts in the wizarding world.
Just like when a supercar was speeding, Luo Xi seemed to be able to hear the roar of the engine, and could clearly feel the gust of wind whistling past his ears, but his erect hair formed a barrier, blocking all the strong winds.
At such a high speed of over 200 miles per hour, it is difficult to keep the direction even on a wide and straight road. However, in this forest with complex roads and dense trees, Nilu can accurately avoid any oncoming tree and will not even step on a protruding stone hidden in the mud on the side of the road.
The agility attribute of the hellhound reaches over one thousand, which is why it can achieve such an unusually sensitive reaction.
Not only agility, but other strength and physical fitness are more than one thousand points. Even the most precious mental power of the wizard has reached nearly one thousand points. This shows how powerful the hellhound is.
“Hoohoo! Hoohoo!”
The sound of wind continued to blow, and the hellhound was like a black lightning, quickly rushing through the forest.
After galloping for more than ten minutes, the hellhound finally stopped on a hillside.
Standing on the hillside, Luo Xi looked down at the river valley and could clearly see a group of people walking through the bottom of the ditch.
There were about dozens of people, most of whom were knights wearing leather armor and carrying cross swords. Among them, only three had elemental reactions, two men and one woman, all wearing black cloaks and surrounded by the knights.
"Are you really here for that ruins?"
"In that case."
"Then let's see what you are capable of."
Most of the ruins contain various magical mechanisms and traps. Luo Xi currently has no idea what kind of ruins these are. Now that there is a ready-made bait, it is better to let these guys go and test the waters.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi jumped off Nilu.
Nilu shook her fur, and her huge body suddenly twisted and shrank, and soon she turned into a palm-sized puppy.
"Brother Luo Xi, do you think this is okay?" She stuck out her tongue.
Luo Xi nodded: "Okay."
As he spoke, he picked up Nilu from the ground and put her in his arms, then turned down the hood of his cloak to cover her head.
With the activation of the invisibility magic, he and Nicole quickly disappeared into the forest.
"Let's follow and see."
"OK."
On the other side, the team at the bottom of the ditch was slowly walking towards the depths of the forest.
Walking in the center of the team, Bafil followed the team forward while vigilantly observing the surrounding situation.
It has been more than ten years since Bafield was promoted to a senior apprentice. As a wizard apprentice with mediocre talent, it is an extremely outstanding performance for him to have reached this level today.
Most of the apprentices who joined the Wizard Tower with him at the same time either became test subjects or died due to various accidents during training. Only a few were able to become advanced apprentices. As one of them, Bafield was very proud.
But that’s where it ends.
The path of a wizard is greatly limited by talent. Bafil clearly felt that his training efficiency dropped drastically after he was promoted to a senior apprentice, and it has even come close to stopping in recent years. He knew that this was the limit of his talent.
Given his current situation, it would be difficult for him to make any further progress through hard work alone, and becoming a wizard would be just a luxury. If he wants to continue on the path of a wizard, he will need a large amount of precious resources.
However, these precious resources cost tens of thousands of magic stones, which was simply impossible with his monthly income of only a few hundred magic stones.
In the past two years, Bafil has been looking for ways to change his destiny. He even considered signing an agreement with a mentor and becoming the mentor's test subject, so as to obtain the resources needed to continue his training and even reach the level of a wizard.
Because of this, when a familiar apprentice in the wizard tower invited him to explore an unexpectedly discovered relic, Bafil agreed without hesitation.
Wizard ruins!
This is synonymous with resources and wealth. The legends of finding legendary relics and then changing one's destiny are everywhere in the wizarding world.
As long as he could make some discovery in these ruins, he would no longer have to risk his life and the terrible consequences of turning into a monster by signing that fatal agreement with his mentor.
It might even change his fate and soar to the sky! Thinking of this, Bafil's heart was burning.
“Hoohoo!”
At this moment, an inexplicable wind suddenly swept over, and Bafil suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. He subconsciously looked back. (End of this chapter)
