Sword Sorcery

Chapter 216 Encounter
a few days later
A pale moon hangs in the sky, which means that the time has entered the night, and gusts of cold wind whizzed wantonly, bringing a touch of coolness unique to the night.

At this moment, Aaron was walking on a piece of dry grass, surrounded by dry and gray trees. The sky looked a little gloomy and gloomy, like a blackboard painted with white powder, which couldn't cover up the gloom for a while.

This is the 'Forest of Blight', and there is still about half a day's journey away from the mountains where the Misty Swamp is located.

In order to rush back to the academy as soon as possible, Aaron did not choose to take the conventional route, but directly crossed half of Tut Kingdom, taking the closest 'shortcut'.

The end point of this shortcut is the 'Blighted Forest', as long as you pass through this forest, you will reach the mountain range where the Misty Academy is located.

Originally, Aaron was riding a wildebeest all the way, but when he entered the withered forest, he was attacked by a wire wolf. The opponent was just a low-level monster, far from the level of a wizard, so Aaron was naturally easy solved.

However, Aaron didn't pay attention to the situation of the wildebeest when he crushed the iron wolf.
In the end, after he finished dealing with the iron wolf, he found that the wildebeest ran to eat grass by itself, but was bitten to death by a bloodskin snake that jumped out of the grass
Aaron was also very helpless, as if he had vented his anger and made the bloodskin snake a dinner, he could only choose to walk on foot.

Fortunately, Aaron's eyesight is very good, and he is also a phantom wizard of the shadow system, with a very high affinity for shadows.

Therefore, even if he walks in the forest at night, there will be no visual interference.

In the entire forest, only the sound of Aaron walking on the grass, slowly echoing in the air, not only looked extraordinarily cold, but even the echo of footsteps could be clearly heard - as if there was a person behind him, repeating Same pace.

In addition, most of the creatures in the forest are asleep, but there are also some unknown small animals at night that are moving quietly.

blah blah blah
They made a sound of whispering, like the whispering of a sleeping person, or the whispering of a girl in a dream. If you listen carefully, you will feel an indescribable feeling of irritability.

Aaron chose to ignore this, and continued to move forward calmly.

Regarding the rumors about this forest, Aaron actually knows something about it—this forest is very strange, and most of the plants are 'dead'.

To be precise, the death of plants is not surprising. What is really strange is that after these plants 'dead', they will continue to grow, from small dead trees to 'towering dead trees'!
The dead trees kept their own life, and if their roots were cut off with an axe, a pale plant sap would flow out, which was a commonly used pigment.

I heard that the wizards in Lilita's hut like to use this paint to paint human faces, especially dead faces.

Because, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, this kind of paint makes bursts of chuckles on time, which is quite in line with the perverted hobbies of the wizards in Lilita's hut.

Hee hee hee hee hee~
Sure enough, bursts of light laughter came from the surrounding dead trees, which also hinted that it was twelve o'clock.

This phenomenon is the origin of the name of the "dry disaster forest", and it is also one of the characteristics of the dry disaster forest.

Regarding this, Aaron kept a ignorant attitude, and went directly into a bush, and walked towards the end of the withered forest in the direction indicated by the chip.

he he he he he.
The echo of his own footsteps and the faint laughter from all around formed a rather annoying background music.

Fortunately, Aaron had expected it a long time ago, and turned a deaf ear to everything. He firmly stepped on the dry and gray blades of grass and walked forward.

Soon, Aaron passed through the grass and came to the front of a large bush. Suddenly, Aaron's footsteps stopped, and his ears on both sides twisted slightly, as if he was listening to something.

"wrong!"

Aaron seemed to have noticed something, he stepped on the ground with a little force, and his body turned to the other side to avoid——

Bang bang bang! ! !

A series of wind blades flew out from the bushes in front, hit Aaron's original position, and immediately exploded pieces of mud and debris, setting off a burst of dust in the sky!
"There's an ambush! They're 'squatting'!!!"

Aaron immediately judged the situation.

Obviously, someone had laid a trap in front and launched an attack in advance because of his vigilance!

"Who the hell are they? Why are they attacking me?!"

Aaron frowned slightly, and a doubt appeared in his heart.

But doubts are doubts, Aaron's hand movements are non-stop for a second, but seeing his right hand make a random move, shadow arrows quickly appeared in the air around his body, heading towards the bushes in front of him Shoot away!

However, there seemed to be an invisible transparent wall in the air, and shadow arrows hit the wall one after another, bursting into bursts of impact——

Ding ding ding! ! !

All the shadow arrows exploded at the point of collision, turning into waves of black air that spread out, temporarily blocking the vision for a breath!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aaron retreated towards the other side, with a trace of solemnity on his expression——

"They definitely came prepared!"

At this moment, the fog in front of him exploded suddenly, and wind blades shot one after another, vowing to put Aaron to death!

Moreover, the density of these wind blades cannot be released by any one wizard, at least two phantom wizards must join forces-indicating that there are at least two phantom wizards in ambush!
Swish swish! ! !

One after another, the wind blades cut through the fog, exposing everything behind the fog. Taking this opportunity, Aaron finally saw clearly the ambush attacking him——

A young man with a round face and a young man with a sausage mouth, both of them were wearing academic gray robes, and what attracted Aaron's attention the most was the light gray badge on their shoulders, which depicted a Palm with tornado.

"Hand of the storm?!"

Aaron was shocked and recognized the origin of this badge, but now he cannot be distracted, because the wind blades pouring in from all over the sky completely surrounded him!

In the bushes not far away, the round-faced young man couldn't help but sneered when he saw Aaron surrounded by wind blades: "Hmph~! This phantom witch is too careless, it seems that he doesn't know the 'news' yet, But that’s all there is to it.”

"Under the sneak attack we prepared in advance, we can definitely end this witch's life."

The young man with a sausage mouth next to him smiled and said, "Yes~, it seems that our college points can increase by a few more points."

Just when the two were relieved, suddenly, bursts of dark sword light erupted from the center surrounded by wind blades in front!

The next moment, all the wind blades were swept away, and a ghostly figure rushed out, killing the two youths!
