The box held the hat with one hand and jumped down. However, it did not plummet as people imagined, but stopped suddenly before landing.
At the same time, the magic wand in his hand lit up slightly, and a shock wave spread out from under the coat, rolling up the snow dust and knocking the surrounding soul-returning corpses away. They all fell down from the inside out, forming a radial circle.
"Holy shit!" Lan Wuxin and others secretly screamed. At this time, they also saw that this was a magician, but they had seen cool-looking ones before, but never seen such cool-looking ones.
However, only Plovor above the ship saw what the guy in the box was doing. He was just using force magic to hold himself up. He shook his head and only gave a calm reminder in the communication channel: "Be careful of overheating."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the box suddenly fall from mid-air with a sound of "Ah!" and plunged into the snow below with a pop. Fortunately, the guy's position was not high anymore and the snow was deep. No injuries.
The latter crawled out of the snow pit while spitting ice slag, then picked up the hat on the side and shook the snow off it, put it on again, and adjusted its position.
At this time, the surrounding soul-returning corpses had staggered to their feet again. Box turned around and pointed his magic wand forward. The magic furnace behind him suddenly became extremely bright. Due to his dual cultivation of sword and staff, he only pursued magic output. After Fang Plover's transformation, his magic furnace output can be said to be extremely extreme.
There's almost nothing wrong with it except that it overheats easily.
As soon as the magic ripples flashed, the soul-returning corpses surrounding him in the direction he pointed immediately flew out.
Box turned around at the same time, and no one even saw clearly how he drew the sword with his left hand. They saw a flash of silver light, and a slender sword pierced the forehead of the soul-returning corpse that rushed behind him, causing it to fall down. on the ground.
The latter didn't even look at the corpse. He put a handsome sword flower on his arm and put the sword back into its sheath. Then he turned back to look at these people.
"Be careful—" Lan Wuxin suddenly stopped talking.
Because he saw a piece of solid, curved ice edge rolling up a wide ice wall, and suddenly appeared behind the young man with a 'swish', and the fang-shaped ice wall would separate the latter from the soul-returning corpses.
on the platform.
Miss Naturalist wiped her snowflake-covered spectacles on the side of the ship, looked at her masterpiece below, breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the book hurriedly.
Fang Plover couldn't help but praise: "Jita, you are becoming more and more skilled at Anstali Glacier."
Of course he understands that Jita has unlimited potential, but she is introverted, so she needs more encouragement.
Sure enough, Miss Naturalist was slightly surprised and said in a panic: "No...it's nothing."
Only the box below knocked the ice edge with the hilt of his sword and muttered: "It's unnecessary." Then he looked at those people again. After experiencing the ups and downs before, the others were obviously still a little unresponsive - the box rushed They waved: "What are you doing standing still? Come here quickly."
He has never been able to negotiate with outsiders. When speaking and behaving with others, he either imitates Gubai Zhiye or Fang Plover. Now he is obviously in Gubaiye mode.
But those people were confused. After all, the way the opponent landed before was really cool. Although it was shocking to fall headfirst into the snow, the clean sword and the glacier later made them see it again. Don't understand.
Is this man a magician or a swordsman?
And they thought it was the spell of the elementalist, but the elementalist could cast such a large-scale spell, and his level was at least high enough for them to look up to.
Lian Lan Wuxin couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "...Who are you?"
"That's not important." Box pretended to be indifferent and waved his hand: "It's just that the captain asked me to come down and help you."
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard this. The team members were already so awesome, so what level did the captain have to be? They couldn't help but think of the previous scene, and looked up, but Fang Plover had already left the side of the ship, and it was now empty.
But this made these people feel more and more unfathomable - there were swarms of undead below, and they were helpless, but the other party thought that it was enough to just let this young man come down alone.
What kind of spirit is this?
However, Xiangxiang didn't know the misunderstanding in these people's minds. He was actually just showing off out of habit.
And everyone didn't even know that Fang Plover just let the box come down first, and the others would arrive later. After all, although the level of the soul-returning corpses is low, if there are too many boxes, it will be difficult for one person to handle them.
Even though his force field spell can sweep away a large area, he can push it away and the falling damage is only about ten points, while the soul-returning corpse has a full 200 health points (the health of the undead is generally high, this is Because its way of existence is different from that of normal creatures), by the time he was finished killing him, the magical furnace's magic power had been exhausted for several rounds.
Not to mention that there are ghouls behind these unconscious drowned corpses. Those things are more difficult to deal with. The aquatic ghouls in Tibia Creek are much higher level than the ghouls underground in Fenris.
But the good thing is that after Jita cast the spell, Fang Plover found that just like the previous times, the corpses realized that they were difficult to deal with, and summoned their undead servants to retreat from the forest.
And the reason why he left first was because there was an 'uninvited' guest in the bottom cabin. Now that the danger here had been lifted, of course he, as the captain, wanted to see how Baggins and Luo Yu were doing.
But in the eyes of others, this scene has a completely different meaning -
It seemed that the other party had already predicted the outcome below, and there was no need to take another look. Since a person had been sent down to help them, there would not be any other accidents below.
In the hearts of everyone, this kind of self-confidence is naturally based on the confidence in the strength of their own team members.
With such a misunderstanding, the ground shook slightly at this moment, and a huge creature passed through the forest and appeared in front of them.
Only then did the group see that the thing above the forest canopy was not an airship, but a huge gray mountain beast pulling a suspended platform with an air bag suspended in mid-air.
But it is shocking enough. Neither large beasts of burden nor floating platforms are things that can be seen easily. It can only be seen in the large business groups that occasionally pass by. And the team of selectors has this kind of thing. The two are even rarer.
Lan Wuxin raised his head and pondered for a moment. In his impression, even before those large adventure groups moved south, there was no such adventure group in the area.
Is this a team from outside? It is not difficult to see outside teams in the Masonke Creek area, but at this time of year, such luxurious configurations are rare.
Lan Wuxin was still a little confused, but the others finally reacted and ran towards the platform one after another. A big cat appeared on the back of the Gray Mountain negative hill beast, and dropped a roll of ladder towards them——
Rhett's voice was shouting through the wind and snow to these people: "The injured have priority, are there any who have lost the ability to move?"
The people below shook their heads. Some people were injured, but they were not incapacitated. But the surprise in their eyes was even greater - they still knew the lion-men of Lotao. People of the wilderness were very rare in Kaolin-Ithurian.
A moment later, Attila's figure also appeared there. Looking down, her rare emerald green eyes, wheat-colored complexion, and unique patterns on her pointed ears all indicated her identity.
A forest spirit.
She didn't say anything, she just jumped off Mr. Huiyan's back and checked everyone's injuries. The others couldn't help but feel a little flattered for a moment. There was such a beautiful elf lady taking care of them. How could they get such treatment on weekdays?
Masonk Creek has a permanent population of more than 2,000, of which only one-third are adventurers, and the proportion of healers and other auxiliary professions among adventurers is even smaller. Otherwise, they would not have to find such an alchemist temporarily. Warlocks venture out.
Two-thirds of those healers belong to guilds, and the rest wish they were male. The only few female healers who are more beautiful and have better skills are basically from some famous teams. Regulars, which round do you get invited by them?
Lan Wuxin, on the other hand, observed more carefully. The difference between the natural magic power in Etila's spells and the life power of Mirela was still very obvious. Besides being a forest elf and a druid, in addition to being a believer in Aimaya There are almost no other possibilities.
But unicorn girls are so rare, and a team with such a special profession is basically no exception. This further confirmed his thoughts - this must be a team with some origins.
Of course, guessing is just guessing, so Lan Wuxin still stepped forward to thank the other party.
Attila just waved her hand, motioning for them to get on the boat and said that although the corpses retreated temporarily, it was not safe in the forest.
The alchemist standing at the back breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually wanted to get on the ship for a long time. He was scared to death in the previous battle. If these people hadn't arrived in time, he would have become one of those zombies. A meal in the belly.
And the captain, who seemed to him to be incredibly talented, was still here complaining. If Etila hadn't amazed him so much, he would have been embarrassed to say bad words in front of such a beautiful elf girl, and he almost couldn't bear it. I have to start complaining again.
However, when everyone climbed up the rope ladder one by one, the alchemist unexpectedly found that the elf girl was helping him out. This made him feel a little elated for a moment, thinking that he was looked at differently by the other party.
Come to think of it, he is an alchemist after all, and which team would not welcome an alchemist accompanying him?
But little did he know that this was actually just because Fang Plover was clumsy every time he climbed the rope ladder, leaving an impression on Miss Elf that if the alchemist didn't take more care, he might accidentally fall to his death.
After everyone got on the boat, the first thing they saw was Jita who was standing aside. She was a little embarrassed when facing them. She was holding a pair of exaggerated glasses in one hand and holding a big book in the other. Little girl—when these people saw the big metal book in Jita's hand, they couldn't help but gasp.
Only then did they realize that the person who had cast the 'Ice Wall' spell was not the elementalist they had imagined - but the naturalist. People almost thought they had seen it wrong at first, but only after they turned around and exchanged glances with their captain did they realize that it was true.
A profession that almost only exists in legends.
The reputation of this profession in Aitaria is only inferior to that of combat craftsmen, and it is much rarer than the latter.
Because most people have only seen it in the community and in major competitions. As rare as magic books are, there are only so few people in this profession. Therefore, when Fang Piao first heard that a small guild like Tapolis could find a magic book, he couldn't help but be a little amazed.
You must know that due to his serious partiality and cognition, in fact, among these guilds in the first world, there are really not many things that can make him amazed.
So let alone the shock in the hearts of Lan Wuxin and others at this moment.
A naturalist of Tata's age is basically the core of any guild.
Everyone's first thought was that they had met a group from a top guild, or an elite youth training group - some people couldn't help but look around to see if there was any big guild's logo on the ship.
However, Jita obviously has no consciousness of being a member of the 'Grand Guild'. She has always been afraid of strangers and cannot say a word when facing these strangers.
Fortunately, Aitila, the big cat man and Box also followed. The elf girl then asked Box to take everyone to the ship's conference room to rest for a while, and then asked Jita to find Tianlan to go to the kitchen to prepare some hot tea.
Jita was relieved and left quickly.
When everyone saw Etila giving orders, they thought that this elf lady was the talker on the ship, the 'captain' mentioned in the previous opening of the box. Attila didn't realize what these people were thinking, so she just asked: "Are you adventurers nearby?"
Lan Wuxin nodded.
In fact, he had nothing to hide, so he described the mission and purpose of his trip.
When Tianlan brought the hot tea to the restaurant, the few adventurers who had been rescued were almost rested. After drying their clothes by the stove, they began to talk about the troubles they encountered that night.
This group of them was the adventurers stationed at Masonk Creek. This night trip in the wind and snow was actually just to find a BOSS that suddenly appeared in the Tibia Creek forest.
When Tianlan pushed the door open, she obviously heard such a key word:
"BOSS?" The little girl's ears immediately stood up and she asked curiously.
"Fuli." Attila sighed. Although she was an aborigine, she also knew that among these selectors and adventurers, information about the BOSS was generally a commercial secret.
Unexpectedly, Lan Wuxin shook his head, looking full of regret: "Actually, there's nothing bad to say. It's just a troll named 'Shankok'. This troll usually works with an undead wizard. , because this combination is very rare, it attracted people's attention, and after some investigation, it was discovered that it was actually a lord creature."
"After that, the team in the nearby area carried out an encirclement and suppression of it, but failed, but instead angered the other party. It last attacked a hunter camp in the north three years ago, and then disappeared without a trace. This time it happened again The appearance in the Shinbone Forest area is also beyond people's expectations - our goal is not the BOSS itself, but the Adventurer's Guild has issued a bounty. Anyone who finds Shankok's traces and reports it can get a large sum of money. bonus."
Tianlan couldn't help but shook her head after hearing this: "So you are tempted? The Adventurer's Guild is not a charity organization. High rewards must mean high risks. With your strength, it is too reluctant to take risks in this weather."
Etila glared at this guy again.
But Lan Wuxin deeply believed that he had already regretted it. Counting the loss of manpower, he would have suffered a huge loss this time. Even if he did discover Shan Keke, it would actually be a loss-making business.
Besides, their trip was in vain.
However, although he regretted it endlessly, Tian Lan was interested in it. Who doesn't love BOSS? As long as he has the strength to kill him, the rewards will be quite generous. The rock shark they killed in Talen was only an elite-level creature, not a true lord-level creature, but it still brought them a lot of rewards.
Nowadays, it can be said that more than half of the start-up capital of this team was brought by the rock shark, at least that is how Mr. Huiyan came.
So Tian Lan asked for some information about this troll BOSS. As for Lan Wuxin, who had no interest in the BOSS and was grateful for their help in rescuing him, he didn't have any objections to it. It could be said that he knew everything and talked about it.
Only the alchemist was a little bored by this. He always felt that this annoying little girl had stolen something that originally belonged to them, but with Attila nearby, he was too embarrassed to speak.
But soon he no longer had the heart to care about this.
Because Sylvide walked into the conference room with Ms. Papamo, who had put on makeup, and her maid followed as usual. The three of them pushed the door open and entered, and several adventurers were silent for a moment.
The alchemist opened his mouth involuntarily.
The young man originally thought that Aitila was stunning enough, but the moment he saw Miss Ship Officer, he almost seemed to be shocked and subconsciously stood up from his position.
Naturally, this guy's behavior could not escape Tian Lan's eyes. As a 'negotiator', she had actually noticed that this guy was unhappy with her, but she didn't care about it - anyway, she was asking Lan Wuxin, not this guy.
Sylvide had long been accustomed to such looks, so she just smiled slightly, and then cast an inquiring look at Attila. She was asking if Fang Plover and Baggins were back.
Miss Elf shook her head: "Ed and the others are still in the bottom cabin."
Sylvide nodded slightly.
The young man looked directly at Sylvester's face, and naturally noticed this detail. He couldn't help but feel wary in his heart, but he did not show it. He only pretended to be curious and asked Attila: " Is this Mr. Ed also on the ship?"
Lan Wuxin couldn't help but frown when he heard this. This question was very impolite. The other party gave them a hand at the critical moment and allowed them to board the ship. At this time, as guests, they obviously should not ask questions.
Others were obviously aware of this, and they couldn't help but have expressions of worry on their faces.
Only Tianlan didn't wait for Atila to answer. She rolled her eyes and replied: "Yes, he is the alchemist on our ship. Brother Ed was just a trainee alchemist when he joined the team."
When the young man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and finally managed to suppress the excitement in his heart - he almost shouted "God bless" in his heart, this was too coincidental.
The opponent turned out to be an alchemist on the team just like him, and he was just a trainee alchemist. But he is different. Not only is he backed by a fairly good guild, but he is also a student of Master Pudra of the Dulon Craftsmen Association - the trainee alchemist of the Dulon Craftsmen Federation may not be a big deal, but Pudra The master's students are definitely a golden brand in the south of the Grand Valley.
Of course, his identity as a student naturally relies on a letter of recommendation from the guild, but that is not important.
He came to Shinbone Creek this time just for the troll Shankock. He just got a little impatient waiting for the guild team, and out of boredom, he joined such a team looking for Shankok's whereabouts to see if he could Can't get some first-hand information.
But he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. The talent of this team was beyond his imagination, and he almost got himself involved in it.
He just didn't expect that the combination of misfortune and blessing actually led him to meet such a team. He only thought that the other party had such a large floating platform, and so many people's magic tools needed maintenance. It was definitely a trainee alchemist alone. not enough.
And as long as he shows his identity as Master Pudra's student, the other party will consider it anyway, right?
As for how to find a way to squeeze out the guy named Ed in the future, he naturally has many ways——
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but have infinite hope in his heart. Even Tian Lan, who provided this information, became more than ten times more cute in his eyes, so he stood up with confidence and said:
"I see. Speaking of which, I am also an alchemist. I wonder if you still lack alchemists to accompany your team?"
"Madel, please pay attention," Lan Wuxin stood up and interrupted the young man - not to mention that the other person's thoughts were so obvious that it almost made him sick; not to mention that the other person was still with him in name only. Although the team was only a temporary team, the other party's remarks did not take him as the captain seriously: "Don't forget that I am your captain."
The young man spread his hands after hearing this. He didn't dare to really violate the team agreement - Ms. Roman's attention was not fun, so he only replied with some contempt: "Okay, okay, Mr. Captain, I don't need you." To remind you of this. But I have to think about what happens next. Our agreement only ends at Masonk Creek Station——"
Lan Wuxin moved her mouth and was about to say something else, but at this moment, suddenly, everyone heard a loud noise.
Everyone in the conference room turned around and saw the closed door of the bottom cabin on the deck outside the window. Suddenly, it flew high with a 'bang', rolled and hit the stern of the ship behind, and was beaten in the wind and snow. He picked up a scroll and disappeared into the darkness behind the platform in an instant.
Then a flying claw flew straight out from below, dragging a long cable. The front of the claw seemed to be grabbing a group of figures, and it was slammed against the wooden wall outside.
After a loud noise, the entire conference room shook.
"vampire!"
Several adventurers pulled out their swords nervously - naturally they saw clearly that the person caught by the flying claws was a vampire. How many of these people who have been adventuring in the Shinbone Forest all year round have never died at the hands of a vampire?
These high-level undead are also one of the few most taboo existences in this forest. No one wants to encounter such things in the wild.
But what Lan Wuxin and the others never expected was that the vampire actually screamed, as if it had encountered something terrible. After a collision, it suddenly fell apart and turned into countless bats and flew away far away.
The only thing left at the scene was the flying claw with the cable. It swayed left and right in full view of everyone, and then it was retracted little by little to the bottom of the cabin. There was a subtle 'click' sound from below.
Everyone opened their mouths.
They have seen flying claws, but the ones that move on their own are obviously not the ones they usually see - and they clearly look like a pair of thick metal gloves. Would most people use these to make flying claws?
Only Lan Wuxin suddenly understood what it was.
Flexible construction——
But the others were obviously not slow to respond. They thought of a possibility at the same time and blurted out: "...Combat Craftsman!?"
In the conference room, the alchemist took a step back, his face darkened, and he suddenly felt that the script did not develop as he imagined.
Unless there is a third alchemist on this ship.
…
