Chapter 1041 1023. Territory division?
What are these things?
Huge and vicious vampire bats, and giant spiders that are larger than normal adult humans.
These two monster images are not unfamiliar to Lan En.
The vampire creatures of the magical Middle Ages, as well as the shape-shifting spiders, are very similar to them in appearance and intimidation.
But now the behavior of these two creatures made Lan En keenly aware that they were not simple monsters.
Most monsters are irrational things that expand their territories and attack other creatures for the sake of appetite.
But now, vampire bats and giant spiders are clearly showing a tendency to cooperate.
Vampire bats use their flight speed and height to chase the target in front and harass them.
The giant spiders followed closely behind, advancing from one tree to another among the dense branches.
Two kinds of monsters that are indistinguishable from each other and should attack or ignore each other are cooperating, which means that they are definitely not ordinary wild creatures.
But Lan En did not ask the sloppy old man leading the race.
After all, if these two monsters became household names in the world, the question he asked seemed a bit too stupid.
“Squeak!”
The vampire bats flying in the sky should not be easy to use in a dense and complex forest environment.
However, they were very smart and flew directly above the forest canopy. After identifying the target with their sharp perception, they swooped down to harass and attack.
This kind of movement is very efficient.
The vampire bat swooped down from the sky and ran directly in front of Lan En, ready to attack the sloppy old man!
Lan En sat on Qilin's back, rising and falling with the movement of Qilin's hooves.
With a soft 'click' sound, his left finger moved slightly, and the mechanism on the left arm armor was also closed.
As long as he thought about it, in an instant, supersonic projectiles would be ejected from the mechanical structure and hit the vampire bat that was diving and attacking.
But he didn't do that.
He wanted to see what this sloppy old man with a staff would do.
What's going on with the magic in this world? Huh? !
Before Lan En could finish thinking, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly in surprise.
“You minions and lackeys of darkness! Get away!”
I saw the sloppy old man on the wooden sled, cursing angrily.
Lan En thought he was about to cast a spell, but it turned out.
“Bang!”
While the vampire bat swooped down, the old man swung the staff directly and hit the base of the vampire bat's wing with the stick!
The stick technique of accurately hitting the target position on the fast-moving sled with uneven ground made Lan En feel a little numb.
Isn’t this how local mages operate?
However, no matter what happens to the local mage, the result is always good.
The big bat was hit by the tip of the crystal staff at the base of its wing and immediately lost its stable flight posture. It screamed and fell to the ground with the force of the dive.
Then there was a 'click', and the Qilin following behind stepped on it with its big hooves.
“They are countless in number, and the minions of darkness will never show mercy or retreat. The killing will never end!”
"But we are almost there. If we run a little longer, they won't be able to chase us out."
Lan didn’t know what ‘almost there’ meant.
Have you arrived at some safe fortress? Or something else?
But since the sloppy old man looked confident and not nervous, the witcher was ready to follow the locals.
It’s exactly what the sloppy old man said.
At first, the vampire bats and giant spiders behind me were still chasing him closely, but the further they ran forward, the less persistent they became in their pursuit.
At first, I would occasionally pause and hesitate during the chase, but later I simply watched the target in front of me run away, while they turned around and returned to the way they came.
“Okay, okay, slow down! My old bones can’t stand the constant bumping!”
The sloppy old man looked as if he was familiar with the road. After the monsters chasing him turned around and returned, he also pulled the reins to slow down the seven or eight big rabbits pulling the wooden sled.
Finally come to a complete stop.
Lan En frowned slightly. This old man seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding with those monsters?
But he also tugged on the unicorn's mane to slow it down.
and
Lan En’s hand that was originally holding Qilin’s mane loosened and he opened his palm and raised it.
The bright sunlight shines through the dense canopy above the forest, and it feels warm and pleasant in the palm of your hand.
Although the surrounding trees are still dense and lush, they somehow lose the oppressive and psychedelic feeling that seemed to make people lack of oxygen just now.
In the woodland just now, even the light path illuminated by the sun and the fine dust floating in it made people feel turbid and dangerous.
Obviously nothing has changed, but the atmosphere is so different!
Is this difference in atmosphere the division of territory?
Lan Enwu thought to himself about the strange phenomena in this world.
On the other side, the sloppy old man who had completely stopped the sled had already got out of the car, holding his strong staff and walking towards Lan En.
“Radagast, at your beck and call.”
The old man raised his face, politely took off his sloppy hat, and bowed slightly to Lan En.
This seems to be a commonly used greeting in the local area?
Lan En was stunned for a moment, and then his social talent allowed him to easily learn the subtle movements and tone characteristics of this greeting in an instant.
Like a veteran who has long been used to it.
He naturally got off his horse and sent greetings to the other party.
“Lan En, at your beck and call.”
The witcher's commanding view allowed him to see clearly that the dried plaster-like thing on the side of Radagast's forehead should really be bird droppings.
Because when he took off his hat to say hello, three little birds flew up from his head, circling and singing.
The hair under the hat was made a nest by the birds.
This made Lan En even more sure that the other party was not an ordinary person. After all, Radagast didn't really have a strong odor on him!
Flannel Ball also jumped off the saddle at this time and looked up at the boss.
It does not have the gift of instantly becoming an expert in certain rituals.
So Lan En took advantage of the situation and naturally stretched out his hand and patted the flannel ball on the head.
