An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 41 Red Hat

"You're only twenty?!"

Gale's eyes widened and his expression was slightly exaggerated.

Most of the human youths at his age are still in the stage of followers or warrior apprentices! After all, fighting relies on the body,
Unlike magic, you only need a good brain, but muscles and combat qualities take years to develop.

"I thought you just looked young, but I didn't expect..."

"Such a young paladin is incredible."

Astelon and Weir both expressed disbelief about this. He should be the youngest paladin in the world.

Similarly, Ying Xin, who had closed his eyes to rest, also heard it and suddenly opened his eyes,

His eyes were full of strange colors.

Everyone present, except Ma Long, everyone in the team is no less than 30 years old! But the person who calls the shots is the youngest~

"Um...what's the problem?"

Ma Long doesn't think there is any problem with his age.
In his opinion, there will always be a few geniuses appearing in the world from time to time.

Just like Gale, the "famous" bard Varro has said before that she is extremely talented in the field of magic.

"It's okay ~ don't worry about it."

Astelon licked her red lips, raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of heat, as if a child had found a novel and favorite toy...

咩～
At this moment, a sheep's cry suddenly reached everyone's ears, and everyone subconsciously turned their attention to the source of the sound.

I saw a pure white sheep standing on the plank road not far from the camp.

He kept staring at them very strangely.

"……what's the situation?"

Weier's keen intuition told her that something seemed wrong with this sheep.
And the facts turned out to be as expected. Not only did the sheep not turn around and leave, but they came straight towards the camp! It keeps bleating.

The next moment, Ma Long suddenly picked up the weapon beside him and stood up and shouted:
"Go away!"

Unexpectedly, the sheep paused for a moment and then continued forward. Seeing this, Astailun decisively picked up the short bow, nocked the arrow and drew the string in one go.
"You don't want to leave? In that case, just stay and be our lunch."

huh~
As soon as the words fell, the arrow carried huge potential energy and flew towards the sheep's neck quickly!

Then a shocking scene appeared,
The arrow shot actually passed through the sheep's neck! He missed a hit and shot him, and everyone clearly saw it,

The moment the arrow touched the target, the sheep's body experienced an extremely brief visual distortion!
It's like a projection that has no entity at all!
Immediately afterwards, the "sheep" stopped barking and rushed towards the camp very fast. Since Malone was at the outermost position,
Naturally, it was regarded as the first target.

He quickly summoned the Armor of Oath, but before he could swing his sword, it was knocked away by a huge force!

The whole person's feet lifted off the ground, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air.
Finally, he fell into the river next to him.

With this scene in mind, Shadow Heart quickly stood up and stabbed the "sheep" with a short spear, but the attack still failed.

Feeling lonely...

When "Sheep" reacted, it was ready to counterattack Shadow Heart. At the critical moment, a dark green ray shot out from the palm of Weir's hand!

This time, the "sheep" was successfully hit and instantly pushed several meters away.
While flying upside down, its image changed.

He fell to the ground and turned into a short man, similar to a goblin. He wailed and quickly got up from the ground, grinning and yelling at everyone: "Tongue! Eat your delicious tongue!"

This creature looks quite similar to a goblin, but there are differences if you look closely.
He has a huge nose, red eyes, and a scarlet leather hat on his head. Although he is short and ugly, he has strong muscles!

With just this glance, the knowledgeable Gale recognized what kind of creature the other party was.

"Bloodthirsty goblin, red hat."

At the same time, Ma Long also returned to the shore. When he saw the red hat, his expression was particularly serious and cautious.
As soon as he came up, he pushed him into the river, which showed that the opponent's body contained great power!
At this time, Gale gathered purple magic energy in his hands, recited a spell loudly and quickly, raised his hand and pointed at the red hat,

At exactly the same time, the red hat quickly approached with his short legs.
Until the distance between the two parties is less than five meters,
The spell effect locked onto the target in time, and magic runes appeared on the ground around the red hat! And the energy formed several chains, entangling his hands and feet in an instant,
Forcibly immobilize it so that it cannot move!
"Shadow Heart! Kill it quickly!"

Hearing Gale's urging words, Shadow Heart, who was nearest, grasped the short spear tightly, strode forward and struck directly through the red hat's chest with a swift blow!

Then he took out a hammer with his other hand and hit the opponent's head hard.

Knocked seven or eight times in a row!
It wasn't until his hat fell off and his head was completely cracked, with blood and white and yellow stuff flying everywhere, that he stopped and pulled out his short spear.

But after Red Hat died, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the originally sunny environment suddenly changed dramatically!
The light began to dim, and bursts of rotten stench entered the nasal cavity.
The vibrant green plants turned black and withered, and thick fog gradually appeared on the surface and water, making it difficult to see clearly from a little distance.

"It's all an illusion... I didn't realize it. What on earth is this place?"

Seeing such a big change in the environment, Gale looked around with a solemn expression.
Muttered to himself.

"Put on your clothes! We need to get out of here right now."

Ma Long immediately waved his hand and reminded everyone that they should not stay here for a long time, even if their clothes were not dry yet.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the three women quickly dressed, packed their bags, and got ready.

"I'll go to the front, Ying Xin, Weier, you guys, please pay attention to the back and sides."

"Understood." x2
After giving the instructions, Ma Long carried the weapon with a solemn expression on his face, walked out of the camp, and stepped onto the wooden plank road again.

Follow this road and proceed carefully.

The companions followed closely behind, not daring to take it lightly, and were always vigilant around them.

Because the fog is so thick, you may get separated from your companions if you are not careful.

"Stay close together. Be careful if you get separated. If you find anything, point it out immediately."

As he walked forward, Ma Long reminded his companions that soon, the plank road would reach the end, and there would be no road anymore, but a swamp exuding a disgusting stench!

You can see the corpses of various insects and small animals that have been dead for who knows how long. The stench is overwhelming.

Stepping into it, the mud and black water immediately submerged up to the knees! It is very difficult to walk in it, and the suction force is very strong.

Sometimes, it is difficult to pull out the leg.

"Damn it! If I had known that I was going through this, I might as well have been fighting those jackals before."

Struggling forward in the quagmire, Astelon began to think and complain again.

Gale, who was walking next to her, rolled his eyes:
"Shut up and pay more attention. If we attract unfriendly creatures, we will be doomed."
