The next morning, there were only four apprentices left by the lampblack River, and Mr. Dale had left quietly. Zhao looked around and found no evidence that he was still around. Take a breath and go out, then you really have to rely on yourself.
"Who knows how far it is from Langer town?" No one can solve the problem of ziyue. Even if Zhao Mai has a copy of the map of the area, there is no landmark reference, there is no positioning system, still unable to determine their location.
"The direction of the river will not change, just follow." Lucius used his water making spell to put out the campfire, and then equipped himself. Zhao Mai has the most things and needs to be fixed one by one. Afra came to help, so the progress was much faster.
"I have an idea." Zhao Mai said dryly: "the current of the Youyan river is not fast. The area it flows through is a smooth terrain. Why don't we build a raft to swim along it? It's labor-saving and fast. "
"Isn't that cheating?" Lucius shook his head. "Mr. dalle told us to go south, not south. In order to save time and lead to the failure of the task, what should we do? Can you take the responsibility? "
"It's hard for me to make a raft on my own. If there's no one to help me, I'll let it go." Zhao Mai hum a, also not reluctantly, throw the backpack to the back, hang a good chest buckle. If there is a dangerous situation, it only needs one hand to pull, the buckle will be released, and he will be free from the load.
Since there is no nanny, it can only rely on the strength of the bodyguard, and Zhao Mai's bodyguard is the hand of the giant tooth beast musket. Even if it's not loaded - to avoid gunpowder loss and misfire - a long gun with two sharp blades is still a ferocious weapon.
"Your weapon looks like a dwarf. Where did you get it?" Lucius fixed his eyes on the megatoothed musket. Zhao Mai fell behind all the way, and there was no need to carry weapons all day long under the protection of Dale. This was the first time that he found such good things in his companion's hands.
"I met a dwarf friend who made it for me." Zhao Mai dealt with it briefly and changed the topic. "Let's go. It seems that we have to rely on our legs."
So four people along the lampblack river bank began to move south, all the way is the strange smell of lampblack river. Sometimes pungent, sometimes nauseous, but occasionally it suddenly becomes fragrant. These are the heritages of ancient mages. Even after countless years, the wilderness still can't completely heal the wounds left by the magic war.
Walking along such a river is not torture, but it is also a kind of experience. It can be seen from the frown of several people from time to time. In fact, after praying for purified food, the river doesn't taste as terrible as it smells. As long as you can pass the psychological barrier, you won't feel so bad physically. Four Druid apprentices advanced along the river bank, and Zhao Mai was the third. He originally wanted to guard at the end of the team, but the reason given by ziyue is very convincing.
"My owl stands on his shoulder and can look back all the time. It's not so convenient for you
Also because ziyue was at the back of the team, Lucius had to slow down the speed of the team and couldn't get rid of Zhao Mai. He was silent all the way, carrying weapons at the front of the line. A pair of blue eyes not only pay attention to the movement in the forest on their left, but also often look back and pay attention to the situation of the team.
Afra also has a quiet temperament, walking in the second place with a wooden stick. She seldom looked back, but was informed by the long armed grey blue ape. So whether there will be a strange cry of "Wuwu ~ Gaga" in the team, no one can understand the monkey's words, except maybe Avra.
Finally, there is no need to move forward in the tangled forest. Grain reserves can be regarded as liberation. It runs back and forth, seems to have infinite energy. Zhao Mai picked up a twig from the ground and suddenly threw it out. The Grain Reserve would rush up quickly and come back with a stick in his mouth. It's also a kind of animal partner training, which can increase the tacit understanding between the two people.
This time, Zhao Mai threw it a little far away. After running half of the grain reserve, he suddenly stopped and made a "roaring" sound in the woods. It can be seen from its posture of raising its tail and lowering its shoulder that the other party is by no means a kind person.
"The smell of youyanhe river is very strong. Almost no animals come here to drink water. Isn't it your dog who admits it wrong?" In spite of this, Lucius stopped. He looked down at his cheetah and saw nothing unusual. "Mike, call your dog back..."
The cheetah's hair exploded, its tail rolled up behind it, its ears pressed back, its mouth opened, and its fangs showed. With a whine, he ran past the cheetah and returned to Zhao Mai. At this time, the cheetah has exposed its claws and bent down to attack.
"What is it?" Zhao Mai squinted and squatted down to take two bullets. He didn't see anything, but he believed in the feeling of grain reserves. Everyone gathered in the middle of the team and prepared their weapons.
Lucius seems to have found something, standing up straight is an arrow shot. His cheetah pounced, but instead of rushing up, he knocked Lucius down. At this moment, a javelin flew over and was flying over the cheetah's back.Zhao Mai glanced at the shape of the javelin: it's about one meter long. The head of the javelin has no metal part, it's just a sharp stick. The body of the javelin is naturally curved, which shows that the other side's woodworking skills are also very poor. To estimate the flying rules and speed of Javelin from the moment just now, Zhao Mai said: "be careful, it should be intelligent humanoid on the opposite side, and its size will not exceed medium size. Since we dare to attack the four of us, the number of each other will not be less! Don't spread out. Don't be broken by each one. We are more than 20 meters away from the forest, which is enough to respond to javelin and so on! When they come up, don't go into the woods
At the end of the speech, he has equipped the shield. Ziyue, with a smile, hides to Zhao Mai's side, taking advantage of the shield. After thinking about it, she lowered herself and ran over, standing side by side with ziyue.
"Don't look at me all. You'll be looking at the river separately." Zhao Mai would not underestimate any of the enemies of intelligent creatures. He immediately said, "Purple moon, you have owls. It's up to you!"
Lucius took the cheetah away from him, bit his lip, turned over and got up. It's not Zhao Mai, but Zhao Mai! Although the instant reaction is slower, but those words can also be said, there is no reason for the black haired boy to steal the limelight. He looked at the other three and knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to hide behind Zhao Mai's shield. So he picked up the bow and arrow again and looked carefully into the woods.
Some small black figures kept running under the cover of shrubs, waving weapons similar to spears and machetes. Lucius shot two more arrows, all hitting the branches of the tree. The quivering tail of the arrow attracted the opposite side's ridicule, a voice similar to "haw haw".
"How many arrows do you have left?" Zhao Mai asked.
"I didn't count it!"
"Then you can save some money..." Zhao Mai felt very helpless.
