"Remember Rhett Butler? Your ex-boyfriend, that cool guy, he died. [Read the full text]...died outside Cloak Forest, with his wives."

Continuing deeper into the forest, Lu Yuan opened a path in the bushes. Muxing chatted with Xiaoxue in a low voice, and the snow wolf also whined in response.

"What?! You have a new boyfriend now?! What does he look like? Is he handsome? Hahaha~ What am I going to do? I want to visit Rhett Butler's territory and want to know who kicked my friend out Home."

White Wolf Xiaoxue suddenly rushed out from Lu Yuan's side, startling him. After a while, the white wolf ran back with a bloody mouth and a big snake in its mouth. Judging from the shape of its head, it was a venomous snake. Xiaoxue threw the snake's body at the feet of the two people and whined a few times.

"Well, well" Duixing patted Xiaoxue's head approvingly and said, "Xiaoxue is really awesome. Well, he is not. Ah, it is innate, we don't laugh at him..."

Are you talking bad about me? ! They must be talking bad about me in a language I don’t understand! Lu Yuan yelled in his heart, bitterly picked up the poisonous snake and threw it into his backpack. Seeing Mu Xing and Xiao Xue looking at him with a bit of disdain, they immediately yelled in anger: "I will make snake soup tonight! No one is allowed to eat it!"

"Xiaoxue, tell me about your new boyfriend."

"Woo~woo~"

One elf and one white wolf, the two women turned around and continued chatting animatedly, pretending not to hear Lu Yuan's roar.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, half a day's journey away from Rhett Butler's old nest, that the two of them found a small open space where they could camp. White Wolf Xiaoxue whined and left after arriving. Muxing had a mysterious smile on his face and didn't answer any questions about Xiaoxue, but just kept urging the meal to be served.

There was no water source nearby. After praying, Evening Star used magic to create 12 gallons of pure water. After cleaning up the camp, Lu Yuan made a fire to cook and slaughtered the snakes for soup. Muxing silently followed the instructions while doing so. At this time, Lu Yuan felt that Mu Xing was too independent. While she constantly provides help to others, she rarely accepts help from others. She found magic convenient, so she learned two magic spells. If you think cooking is delicious, learn how to cook it. It seems that they have never considered forming a permanent partner. In the psychological analysis of modern society, such a character is a character with obvious flaws. It will not find a job and will be lonely for the rest of its life. But in the magical world, this is not the case. For a creature with a lifespan of a thousand years, it is the right choice not to get too close to humans.

The opposite of being withdrawn is being less hurt. For some reason, Lu Yuan felt that he understood this idea very well.

The pot of snake soup was hung on the shelf and simmered slowly. It took one pot to boil into a milky white soup. Lu Yuan kept throwing in mushrooms, wild vegetables and other randomly picked ingredients, and the fragrance of the soup filled the air. . After Mu Xing saw it, he immediately found a lid to cover it anxiously, then took out large pieces of raw meat steak from Lu Yuan's space bag and grilled it. It was a wild boar that the two men had killed a while ago, and there was still a lot left after eating it intermittently. The pork chops were sprinkled with strong spices and roasted on the fire. The sizzling fat fell into the bonfire, igniting small bright flames. The smell quickly covered up the aroma of the snake soup, and Duixing looked as proud as a child. The smile comes.

Lu Yuan looked at the smile with some fascination across the bonfire, and was glared at by Mu Xing, who couldn't stand the teasing.

Sure enough, the snake soup was cooked, a pile of steaks were grilled, and Xiaoxue stepped back with a smile on her face.

I knew this was a foodie! Lu Yuan complained angrily.

Xiaoxue ignored him at all. First she rubbed against Muxing, then turned back and called to the woods a few times, with a... encouraging tone in her voice? After a while, a slightly smaller white wolf hesitantly came out of the woods and stopped at Lu Yuan's side, separated from Mu Xing by the fire and stopped passing. Of course, it just glanced at Lu Yuan quickly and pretended that this person no longer existed. Although it looked nonchalant, its attention was entirely focused on Xiaoxue and Muxing.

"Xiaoxue, is this your child?"

"Woo! Woo!"

"Ah! It's his new boyfriend! He's so much younger than you, isn't that what Lu...Lu Yuan said about old cows eating young grass!"

"Woo~!" Xiaoxue turned to Lu Yuan and bared her teeth. The boyfriend wolf beside him also looked at him with unkind eyes.

"Oh, um... Huh? What's going on here?" Lu Yuan looked around for a way to change the subject, and suddenly saw a long wound on the little white wolf's butt, which was also glowing with black and blue, so he took the opportunity to shout out .

Duixing came over, grabbed the little white wolf and inspected it carefully. The little white wolf shyly dodged, but his ear was bitten by Xiaoxue who was guarding the side, and then he remained motionless. It was really a strict henpeck. "There are still toxins left in the wound, so it cannot be healed." Duixing said and used "Remove Toxins" and "Treat Moderate Injury" consecutively, and the little white wolf's wounds healed obviously.

"This kind of wound..." Muxing and Little White Wolf began to communicate in a language they couldn't understand again. After a while, Muxing switched to common language again, "Is it a big bird? A tail with a hook? Hmm?" , It’s a pterosaur. But how can there be a pterosaur here? The pterosaur nests I know are all near the coast of Cloak Forest. It’s humid and has plenty of food. That’s the environment they like.”

"Speaking of big birds, I seemed to have seen a few in this direction at sunset yesterday. They seemed to be pterosaurs." Lu Yuan interjected, taking out the latest version of "Baldur's Gate Monster Encyclopedia" from his bag. , turn to the pterosaur description.

"A pterosaur is a huge flying lizard with a giant venomous tail spine. They are a type of subsaurus. The dark brown or gray body of the pterosaur is 15 feet long, half of which is the length of the tail. Its wingspan is about It is 20 feet tall and weighs about a ton... The pterosaur attacks with its claws when flying, and alternately attacks with bites and stings after landing... It is recommended that a senior team of six or more people be rounded up."

"It has a single attack method. Apart from flying, it doesn't seem to be difficult to deal with." After Lu Yuan finished reading, he raised his head and said.

"Also, put down your stupid book." Duixing waved his hand, "What a senior team. It weighs one ton! It has a wingspan of 20 feet! No one can stop such a big guy from swooping down. Let's try our best Don’t mess with it.”

The cry of "woo~woo~" came, and the two people looked back. Sure enough, the stupid little white wolf was nibbling on the grilled steak, but the smart Xiaoxue had already walked around the steak, put his nose on the soup pot, and started to make a noise. Duixing made a helpless expression and took out a new pottery basin from his backpack.

Lu Yuan patted her to reassure her. Then he opened the soup pot, took out a piece of snake meat with a spoon, put it in a new pottery basin, and handed it to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue glanced at him suspiciously, lowered her head and sniffed, and walked away decisively. Lu Yuan put the pottery pot aside with a smile, divided the snake soup into Lu Yuan and Mu Xing's bowls, and then sprinkled some spices into the two bowls while Xiaoxue was chewing the steak. Although the freshly cooked snake meat was fresh and tender, it had a fishy smell. Xiaoxue, who had a sensitive sense of smell, of course gave up after smelling it.

After Lu Yuan sprinkled the fishy spice, he shared it beautifully with Mu Xing. Duixing drank the snake soup with big eyes, filled with joy of succeeding in her prank.

*************

After nightfall, the two white wolves cuddled up and slept next to the campfire. Evening Star returned to her tent to chat with Alona.

Lu Yuan continued to analyze spells in his tent.

The night was dark and only the snoring of the two wolves could be heard. Lu Yuan stretched his muscles and stood up. The harvest was pretty good, and the "Mirror Shadow Technique" analysis was successful. He also successfully prepared a second-level spell "Spider Web" for the first time.

Just as Lu Yuan was reading the next contents of the spell book, there were suddenly several strange roars and a huge sound of flapping wings ringing around the camp.

"What?" Lu Yuan walked out of the tent in confusion, and was suddenly pulled to the ground by a hand.

"Shh! It's a pterosaur!" Duixing whispered in his ear, looking at the sky nervously.

At this time, Xiaoxue and Bai Lang had already run into the woods to hide. In the dark night, they saw three birds with huge bat-like wings, roaring around the campfire, flying in circles, and occasionally swooping down to investigate. Lu Yuan pulled Mu Xing and slowly hid in the shadow of the tent.

At this time, a large pterosaur folded its wings and landed beside the campfire. It picked up a piece of leftover barbecue and swallowed it with a squeak. After eating, its eyes scanned the surroundings, its long tail swinging with a huge hook. Suddenly, like lightning, a piece of barbecue hidden under a stone was pierced on the hook and handed to the pterosaur's mouth while shaking. side.

At this time, there was an angry roar of "Ouch", a white shadow flashed, and the little white wolf jumped out of the woods and bit the pterosaur on its thick neck.

"Oops!" Lu Yuan's heart sank. The leather on the pterosaur's neck was so thick that it was difficult to pierce it with a sword. And the little white wolf can attack that position with its claws and tail!

"Entanglement", "Freeze Ray!" Mu Xing and Lu Yuan both fired divine and arcane spells. A large number of vines suddenly appeared on the ground, binding the claws of the little white wolf and the pterodactyl to the ground, making them unable to move. At the same time, a white ray shot straight into the pterosaur's open mouth. The cold ray froze the soft meat in the throat, blocking its lowering its head and biting action.

With two "bumps", the pterosaur's hooked tail hit the little white wolf twice in succession. However, there was still a large piece of meat steak stuck on it, so there was no harm at all. The pterosaur flapped its wings, and the vines under its feet were being torn apart, and new vines were being formed to bind its feet. At this time, Bai Xue, who followed the little white wolf out, jumped up and pushed himself on the little white wolf's back, avoiding the tearing vines stretching out from the ground, and bit hard on the base of the pterosaur's wings, which caused the pterosaur to let out a long roar. Screaming, green corrosive blood spurted out from the base of its wings and throat.

With the help of Xiaoxue's pedaling force, the little white wolf finally tore off a large piece of meat from the pterosaur's throat. It fell to the ground and was immediately tied up by layers of vines, making a whimpering sound.

"Call the Holy Power", Mu Xing shouted after finishing casting the spell again, and an illusory figure entered her body. Duixing fiercely drew out his swords and rushed out. At this time, Lu Yuan was using the Dancing Light Technique and the Phantom Sound Technique to restrain the two pterosaurs hovering above his head. The sudden strange screams and floating light balls made the two pterosaurs pursue and roar angrily.

"Roar!" A pterosaur folded its wings, raised its hook-shaped tail to balance its body, and began to dive towards the evening star, trying to rescue the seriously injured pterosaur. "Hit!" Lu Yuan shouted, pointing his magic at the diving pterosaur. Two white missiles quickly bypassed the obstacle and hit the pterosaur's left eye heavily, exploding the eye into a hole. Plasma splattered everywhere. The swooping pterosaur screamed and lifted up, first hitting the treetops on the right, then suddenly flying up in a flash, and began to climb regardless.

"Yeah!" The vines on the ground moved out of the way in front of Duixing. She exhaled and fiercely cut off the sword in her right hand. The left wing of the big pterosaur on the ground was instantly broken. The pterosaur was in extreme pain. Regardless of the wounds all over its body, it opened its big mouth and bit at Duixing. Its tail also moved in a small circle to stab Duixing's back. Muxing seemed to have eyes on his back. He used the sword in his left hand to deflect the powerful tail with a backhand. His body dwarfed and rolled under the pterosaur's head. The sword in his retracted right hand thrust out fiercely and thrust upward! Facing the tough pterosaur neck leather, the long sword was like piercing a piece of tissue paper. It penetrated from the chin to the brain with a stab, and the entire sword body was pierced!

Lu Yuan, who was distracted by the battle situation, took a deep breath with toothache. The priest girl who used "Calling Holy Power" was like a humanoid tank! "Call the Holy Power" can summon the gods to temporarily grant her power for one minute. For every three levels of priest and force-sensitive body, one point will be added. After Muxing's level is used, at least the force-sensitive body plus two will be added. Her own quality is very good, and her power completely crushes Lu Yuan. Calculated based on the calculation that each increase in attributes is equivalent to one-third of the total increase, physical fitness doubles in one minute. This is not a tank! It's really like breaking through a new orange.

At this time, the entanglement technique ended, and the vines on the ground began to dissipate. In the last few seconds of the Holy Power, Duixing pulled Xiaoxue and Bailang and hid in the woods on the edge. After the Holy Power leaves, there will be a short period of weakness, and the two wolves are now limp and powerless after the desperate struggle just now. The pterosaur with one blind eye was still hovering high in the sky, and the other pterosaur that was completely intact began to stare at Lu Yuan. It circled Lu Yuan and the small camp. Seeing that Lu Yuan was still gesticulating with his hands and standing still, the impatient pterosaur began to dive towards Lu Yuan. As it gradually accelerated, the tips of its wings The bone spurs produced a sharp whistling sound.

It stared at Lu Yuan cruelly, wanting to see its prey panicking amidst the roar. But the thin little man had no intention of running away. Instead, he waved his hand at the swooping pterosaur, and a ball of white stuff flew out of his hand, flew over a distance of 120 feet, and hit the pterosaur on the tip of its nose. . The pterosaur shook its wings in fright, and just when it felt like it was not hurt, the white ball exploded into finger-thick spider silk all over the sky, strangling the pterosaur into a ball! Spider silk spreads 20 feet, firmly anchoring the ground, trees, and pterosaurs together. As it struggled and flapped its wings, more and more silk was stirred.

Lu Yuan drew out his rapier, stepped on the spider silk and ran forward. The "Snake of Darkness" spell book gives him the property of being immune to spider webs, as if a smooth shield is formed on his body, gently pushing away the stickiness and entanglement of spider webs. The pterosaur struggled hard and lunged forward to bite, its body being wrapped in more and more spider silk. Counting the bonus of intelligence, Lu Yuan now has a total of seven spell slots. It's a pity that only one Spider Web spell has been prepared for the three level 2 spell slots. The four level 1 spell slots have used up "Magic Missile" and "Mage Armor", and the remaining "Sleep" and "Activated Rope" pairs of wings have been used up. The dragon is useless and now only the sword can be used.

Calm down, calm down again. Sweat flowed down his back. Lu Yuan was already close to the pterosaur's mouth. He barely restrained his fear of facing the giant creature, and his body stiffened to avoid the clumsy bite of the pterosaur. Fortunately, the pterosaur was tightly bound by the spider web, otherwise Lu Yuan could only turn around and run away. The pterosaur's slender tail was tied tightly and could no longer be swung. The claws and body were tied together and could only be stirred with difficulty. Only the big head supported by the thick neck was left, still biting persistently.

It's now! Lu Yuan grasped the hilt of the rapier with both hands and stabbed it out with all his strength! He only heard a puff, and a sour-smelling liquid splashed all over him, but the rapier had already penetrated him. Then he was knocked away by the huge force of the pterosaur's pain and rolled all the way to the edge of the camp. "Ayuan!" Duixing rushed out from the woods on one side and quickly dragged him into the woods.

The injured pterosaur struggled and rolled in the open space, tearing apart tents and pots and pans and scattering them everywhere! The shrill screams could be heard so far through the night that they could be heard several kilometers away. A thin sword that could not cause much damage was inserted through one eye, came out from the other eye, and penetrated the entire brain! This is the biggest flaw in creatures with eyes growing on the side! No matter how strong your skull is, no matter how tough your scales are, the line between your eyes that runs through your brain is the most vulnerable part.

"Is there any other entanglement technique?" Lu Yuan asked. He didn't remember any powerful divine spells in the first three circles of priests and druids. As for the "Thunder Technique"? Who in the real world would dare to use such a spell that requires so much character?

"one."

"Okay, then wait for my signal." Lu Yuan struggled to stand up and walked towards the center of the battlefield again. Three pterosaurs must be dealt with tonight, otherwise if it brings a few more when it returns to its nest... it will be dead.

"Hey! Stupid lizard! Look here!" Lu Yuan stood between the dead bodies of two large pterosaurs, shouting and provoking the last flying pterosaur. With the pterosaur's low intelligence, of course he wouldn't understand what he said, but his enemies were extremely jealous of each other! Lu Yuan, who blinded its eyes, was the target of its most hatred! Seeing that there were no other targets around, it circled twice and swooped down towards the landing point.

The same soul-stirring scream tore through the air. Lu Yuan resisted the desire to escape and stood there, pressing his hand firmly on the "Snake of Darkness" spell book. There was still a spell there! Just when the pterosaur was still thirty feet away from the ground, "Evening Star!" As Lu Yuan shouted, a darkness suddenly spread out with Lu Yuan as the center, shrouding a 20-foot radius space in darkness.

At the same time as he released the "Darkness Technique" that came with the "Snake of Darkness" spell book, Lu Yuan himself desperately escaped to one side. The pterosaur couldn't help but crashed into the darkness, stumbled to a stop, and was immediately bound by the vines rising under its feet. As soon as the light came on, the darkness spell completely disappeared. The dark spell is released based on the spell book. As long as the spell book is covered with clothes, the spell effect will be blocked.

As soon as his vision recovered, he saw the pterosaur with one blind eye struggling in the vines and about to escape. Lu Yuan resisted the feeling of fatigue after casting the spell, and touched the tent rope on the ground. The rope jumped up like a snake, circled the pterosaur's bat wings several times, and tied a knot. Then the two men and the two wolves rushed over. Evening Star is an elf race and will not be entangled by plants. Lu Yuan was immune to the entanglement effect. The two wolves used the bodies of the two pterosaurs as springboards to jump on the pterosaur's back and tear off its wings. Lu Yuan relied on the magic rope technique to tie the most threatening tail of the pterosaur to its thigh.

After twenty minutes of fighting, the exhausted two men and two wolves killed the last pterosaur. When the end came to an end, the stupidest little white wolf was hit hard by the hook on the tail that had escaped from its restraints. Now it was lying there covered in green and bleeding. Xiaoxue whimpered and stood by his side, licking his hair with her tongue. The scene was tear-jerking.

"Don't pretend to be dead!" Muxing walked over and used "Remove Toxins" and "Cure Serious Injury", and then he could only collapse on the grass, unable to move anymore.

"Hahaha", Lu Yuan, who was lying down, laughed happily. Then Evening Star's clear laughter joined in, followed by the whines of the two wolves, mingling together into one sound.

[Mission "Hunting Beasts": You have sworn to become the best hunter, holding a sword to challenge the most ferocious monsters in Faerun such as dragons, giants, and illithids! Monster hatred +2. 】

[Currently completed "Hunting the Pterodactyl", +1000 experience points]

"I don't have one." Lu Yuan followed his laughter with a howl that didn't sound like a human voice, "Hunter, your sister! Challenge your sister! Let's play together!"
