my age of magic

Chapter 357.
It is not a simple matter to walk through the lush black pine forest. The whole dense forest is overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, there is a narrow path in the forest. I don’t know who opened it up. The weeds were roughly trampled down, and a very simple path was formed.Annie didn't have any intention of resisting along the way. The boots stepped into the deep and fertile soil, and it was very difficult to pull them out. Maybe it was because of the heavy shackles on her hands, and Annie seemed to be struggling every step of the way.

I guess why Annie is acting tired?According to her physical fitness, even if she ran around the black pine forest, she wouldn't feel tired at all.

I think she has been showing weakness. A fourth-year swordsman apprentice of Zhanzheng College, especially a student like her who has received the school's outstanding achievement medal, will never be without the slightest resistance to these low-level priests, but she The appearance she is showing now is like that of a weak woman, even walking in the dense forest, she seems a little unsteady.Even if the priest behind her kept molesting obscenely, Annie endured it.

I hid in the bushes and looked at her secretly, just in time to see her being pushed hard by the priest behind, her body leaning forward uncontrollably, just turning her face to the side where I was hiding, I saw blood dripping from her lips hiding in the shadows, and I guess she must have endured it very hard.I'm guessing why Anne didn't wear the long sword that exudes a strong fire element. As an apprentice swordsman, it is obviously very unreasonable.

I didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear of being discovered by them, I just stayed behind far away, only allowing myself to see a little shadow of them in the black pine forest, and then relying on the traces left by the two priests, I followed them from a distance behind Annie.

The forest is very quiet, and this weird scene where the insects do not sing and the birds do not speak makes me feel a little uneasy.

Sure enough, when I was thinking about it, a few shadows flashed in the woods in front of me, and then there was a faint sound of fighting. I didn't dare to run over to join in the fun, so I had to climb a huge pine tree and hide in the forest. From the top of the tree, I watched the fight from afar.Several young fourth-year warrior academy students surrounded two priests in the center. The grumpy warrior was kicked by the young warrior apprentice and rolled to the ground and rolled far away. Then there was a sound of begging for mercy. The young warrior The apprentices obviously ignored the voices of begging for forgiveness. After punching and kicking, the two priests in the temple sat under the tree stump in a state of embarrassment, their clothes already in tatters.

My eyesight is very good, and I can clearly see that the clothes of these two priests are covered with various footprints. They must have been punched and kicked.

The priest named Gunther kept begging Annie, but Annie, who had already taken off the handcuffs, was unmoved.

Annie stepped out one foot, stepped the heel of the high-heeled leather boot on Gunther's shoulder, and bent down to communicate with the priest. At the beginning, Annie had a little patience, but when it came time Halfway through, Annie's face changed, she kicked the priest hard, kicked him away again, pointed at the priest and said a few words viciously, and then drew out the long sword directly, Want to kill that man with a sword.

You must know that killing a priest in a temple is a felony.

In the Green Empire, it can be said that killing a clergyman is more sinful than killing a nobleman.

The friends at the side naturally wouldn't let Annie really kill the priest, so they hurriedly tried to stop them, saving the two priests from a beating.

Anne and her friends tied the two wounded priests to a pine tree, gagged their mouths with smelly socks, and then left one after another. It seemed that they had been trapped by the two priests. After some information came out, they already had a new target, and I followed from a distance. When I came to the tree where the two priests were tied, the two priests were trying to untie the rope. They walked over with a confused face, thinking that I was a magic apprentice who got lost in the black pine forest by mistake, and hurriedly called to me, apparently telling me to hurry over and untie the ropes tied to them.

Looking at their begging faces, I could tell at a glance that the rope on Gunther's body had loosened. Maybe it wouldn't take long, and even if I wasn't here, they would break free, so I hurried all the way and asked blankly. He said: "Oh, two priests, what's wrong with you? Have you met a robber? Who dares to kidnap a priest on Mount Antiea? It's so daring!"

While I was talking, I walked over quickly, as if I was going to go behind the tree in a hurry and untie the rope.

The two priests were also very happy to see my posture, and kept nodding in agreement with what I said, but I didn't untie the rope immediately behind the tree, but bent down and raised my head. Arm, pointing into a knife, slashed on the back of Priest Gunther's head, knocking him out.Then before the other priest could react, he was knocked unconscious again.

I checked carefully twice to confirm that the ropes I tied would not struggle to get away even if they woke up, so I left with confidence.

I don't want these two priests to rush over with a large number of priests and Bishop Anduya from the temple before I rescued Su, that would be a bad thing.

After all, Anne is still too young and not experienced enough in doing things. If I hadn't followed behind, maybe it wouldn't take long for these two priests to lead people to arrest Anne and her friends.

I ran to the depths of the pine forest along the shallow traces left by them...

Unexpectedly, Annie has such a trick. It turns out that she deliberately let these priests catch her. It seems that Annie knows a lot more clues than me. At least he knows that these priests will definitely lead her through this black pine forest, and Let the friends lie in ambush here early, and captured the two priests in one fell swoop. It seems that they have gotten some clues from them, and followed those clues to find the past.

That way, I'll just have to stay with Anne's gang.

...beautiful dividing line...

In order to keep the sound of the gun as quiet as possible, I wrapped the jacket directly over the thorium shotgun.

There was a "bang" gunshot, and a mass of red flames spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, chasing after the black lightning-like figure in the air, and the ballistic trajectory like a red line stayed in the air, and the red-eyed bat had already squeaked Squeaking and screaming, he fell headfirst on the grass.

I put away the thorium long-barreled shotgun again, jumped down from the tree, and came to the red-eyed bat. I never thought that there would be a first-class monster near the temple on Mount Antiea, okay. The reason is that this first-level monster is a red-eyed bat. Bats almost lose most of their fighting ability during the day. They usually hide in caves and don't come out to hunt until night. In the cave, there is still a big guy like this hidden.

After the death of the World of Warcraft 'Red-Eyed Bat', it left a bone on a wing that looked quite crystal clear and white. "Crystal light bone" is some of the materials that leather makers and craftsmen need to use when making equipment. It can be used to make the bow arm of a recurve bow. This magic material is very light and is loved by many archers.Although I don't know the value of this thing, the materials produced by Warcraft are generally very valuable.

I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest.

Any level of Warcraft is pale and powerless in front of me now. I have prepared quite well this time. After owning the Thorium long-barreled shotgun, my combat effectiveness has improved precipitously. With the help of perception and the sea of ​​spirit, the hit rate is surprisingly high. Even the red-eyed bat flying like a black lightning bolt failed to escape my gun in the end.

At this moment, I was pinching my nose, bending my waist and leaning forward slightly, carefully using a wooden stick to pick out a bone from the pile of rotten meat of the red-eyed bat, and quickly made room for a backpack to put it in.I also prepared climbing tools, ropes, flint, mining picks, medicine picks, cloth bags, a small amount of water and dry food, candles, and some frost scrolls sold in the magic grocery store in my magic pocket. I also installed some small animal clips on these scrolls. After all, hunters are not very good at the fine work of installing magic scrolls on this kind of beast clips, let alone those clumsy magic apprentices, so all the time, my The frost magic scrolls in the grocery store are all equipped with small animal clips, and they are still fully installed.

I was already at the outermost edge of the black pine forest, and through the forest, I saw a beautiful manor built on the edge of a cliff. This small manor doesn't look very big, it just has a small courtyard. Surrounded by a small courtyard, these houses are divided into upper and lower floors, and the construction is very elegant. It can be seen that the owner is a very distinguished nobleman. Although these houses are built on the edge of the cliff, they are The stone wall outside the house was still whitewashed, and it looked very neat from a distance.

On the hills surrounding the manor, there are a few small farmlands and a large orchard of golden apple trees. This orchard is quite large, and most of the mountains outside the black pine forest seem to be full of trees. Golden apple tree.At a glance, I can't see the edge, I just feel that all the mountains are lush and green, as if they have been planted with apple trees.

I don't think it's a wild monster, because this is Mount Antiea, and there is a magnificent temple here. According to Leant, there have been no traces of monsters around El City for a long time, at least For decades, the people here have forced those dangerous guys to hide in the Ziqing Mountains.Therefore, this kind of red-eyed bat is probably kept in captivity, and this kind of bat may also be the secret sentinel of the manor at night.

Otherwise, with the temperament of bats, they prefer to live in caves rather than tree holes.

Seeing Annie and her party walking towards the manor along the golden apple orchard from a distance, I could only follow closely behind.

This bat is the second problem I helped them solve. Obviously, the bat living in the tree hole found Annie and her party, and wanted to stare at the scorching sun and return to the manor to report a letter, but unexpectedly died in the Under my gun, this kind of magical beast that is good at blood-sucking magic and good at flying speed is very clever.

The manor is right in front of my eyes...

...beautiful dividing line...

Standing on a pine tree at the edge of the black pine forest, the next moment, I saw a black figure coming out of the pine forest, with a body as big as a calf, fur as smooth as satin, and a giant dog head with a big mouth With sharp teeth and fangs, and scarlet eyes showing infinite fierceness, it is clearly a hellhound, as for a hellhound with one head.

This kind of hunting dog is at best a top-level monster. I once hunted and killed one in front of my house in El City, so I don't have any fear when I see this kind of hunting dog, but when I saw that The hell hounds were not chasing Anne, but running crazily towards the bottom of the cliff, and my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

It's really terrible, we must have been discovered, the hellhound actually gave up the chance to hunt, and ran back to the bottom of the cliff.

This shows what?
This shows that this hellhound is also a secret whistle lurking in the black pine forest. When it found a foreigner, it didn't rush to kill it at the first time, but ran directly to the manor to warn. This is really bad!
Who on earth can train these monsters in hell to tame them like magic pets?I sighed and thought from behind.

But my body is like a bird flying in the sky. Without any equipment, I jumped directly from the oak tree tens of meters high, stretched my body, and let the magic jacket on my body catch the airflow so that I could glide to the ground A little farther away, and I went straight to the hellhound that was running fast.

Now that it's out of range, I just have to catch up.

But I found that this hellhound didn't run to the manor on the top of the cliff, but wanted to run under the cliff and catch up all the way...

When I got to the bottom of the cliff, I discovered that there is actually a dark cave at the bottom of the cliff. This cave is hidden in the wild grass and bushes. If I didn't go closer, I would never find that there is another cave here.

At this time, the figure of the hell hound flashed past in the cave, and I got into the cave without hesitation.

Turning from a bright place to a dark cave, my eyes suddenly became dark. After I closed my eyes and counted silently for a few seconds, I opened my eyes again, only to find that the cave is full of traces of artificial excavation.
