You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

Sean: "..."

He can only respect the blessing.

The bonfire was crackling, and the cold night breeze was blowing the firelight and shadows, bringing a hint of warmth to the desolation.

Everyone sat together, Johnson helped Jenny blow the soup, and the young couple still had a good relationship.

Gnado wandered around, looking for the marks left by the club's previous teams. When he came back, he picked up the map and said, "We're on the right track. After we pass through the wild bird forest ahead, we'll be able to see the grove."

"I suggest taking a detour."

The Wild Bird Forest was the last section of the road before reaching the destination, and it was also the last high-risk area. The footprints they followed had become blurred at the last camping spot, and they could not tell whether the other party had entered the Wild Bird Forest - even if they had, it would be very dangerous.

Because the forest is so big, there are all kinds of birds.

According to intelligence, one of the birds that looks like a young eagle is the most difficult to deal with. They have a strong sense of territory, which means they are also very aggressive. They are also very smart. They never send out all their forces to deal with invaders. They only send out one "vanguard" each time. If they cannot win, they will escape and hide themselves, but if they think they have a great advantage, they will call their companions, and you will be faced with an overwhelming number of young eagles.

"He's a bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong." Johnson said.

Genado nodded: "It's a very apt description."

"Then let's go around." Jim took a sip of soup and said, "We'll be there soon. There's no need to take risks."

He was looking at Johnson when he said this. Of all the people, he was the most enthusiastic about the grove. He was very excited all the way, saying that when he became a wizard, Jenny would be the witch queen, and they would occupy the mountain and be granted titles, have a lot of babies, and create the first wizard family in the history of the empire, and so on...

Jim thought for a moment that this guy might have been bitten by some insect containing neurotoxin.

Johnson had not actually lost his mind.

He said he would listen to Gnado and would not go against his will.

"I agree to take a detour."

But...

Johnson added with a sly smile, "I think we can set off tonight and make up for the time lost on the detour."

It was obvious that he was in a hurry.

Sean actually wanted to go there quickly, after all, the Water of Enlightenment was right in front of him. To Johnson, this might just be a key that would allow him to touch the mystery, but to him, it was something that could save his life, but he was calm and didn't show it.

"Since you want excitement, then go all the way." Conina saw Sean's thoughts and said with a smile, "Anyway, we have traveled in the middle of the night several times, so one more time won't be too much. What do you think?"

"Okay." Gnado said, "Eat well and go on your journey."

The trees in the Wild Bird Forest were dark purple and easy to distinguish. Everyone packed up their pots and pans and started to take a detour.

This time Sean and Conina were at the end.

This enthusiastic female neighbor always wants to have a private conversation with him.

Sean was still holding the torch to drive away the poisonous insects, birds and beasts that were afraid of fire. The difference was that these past few nights he was not just holding the torch. He was also using his mental power to try to control the flames and coordinate with the movements of his hands. It looked like the flames were being teased by him, and he was using his fingertips to draw them into various shapes.

And characters.

The flames illuminated Conina's face. She looked at Sean with watery eyes and said, "Your fingers are so flexible. I want it."

Sean: "..."

Don't give.

"Don't you feel the heat?" asked Conina.

She had tried it the night before when Sean was playing with fire, and suspected it was fake fire. It burned her so much that she screamed and almost had an orgasm.

She really couldn't understand why Sean wasn't afraid. She didn't see this guy applying any special essential oil on his fingers.

Sean replied coolly: "Can it still be called magic if you can understand it all?"

"Okay, let me change the question." Conina hit a straight ball, "Why don't you like me?"

Her tone was a little resentful and a little aggrieved.

She had tried many ways to sneak into Sean's tent these days, but in the end, without exception, she was chased out by Sean. Once, she even wore fishnet stockings as a bunny girl, but Sean only praised her clothes for being very white, and that was it, which made her doubt her own charm.

Sean was also puzzled: "We have no grudges against each other, why should I like you?"

Conina: "Because I'm sexy."

Sean: "?"

"Don't men like flirty girls?" asked Conina.

Sean couldn't respond to this, after all, he couldn't represent all men.

"Don't tell me you don't like women either." Conina glanced at Genado in front of her and said.

"Congratulations, you got it right." Sean said this, but the Flame Crow girl who had saved his life before appeared in his mind. He wondered when he would be able to see her again.

Sean hadn't had any dreams in the past few nights, and still hadn't figured out what the virtual space was. But he wasn't in a hurry, because there were other things that needed his attention more urgently. He looked up at the night sky, the crescent moon was cold and hazy, and in a trance, he saw a black shadow passing by.

He was sure that this was not an illusion or dizziness, something was following them.

After chatting for a few minutes, Sean stopped paying attention to Conina and focused on playing with torches and practicing his "magic".

The atmosphere of the entire team was also very quiet. It was best not to make any noise when traveling through the jungle at night. Even if you wanted to chat, you had to speak as quietly as possible. Otherwise, you might not be able to hear the abnormal noises around you, and you wouldn't be able to react if you were attacked.

Genado, who was walking at the front of the team, was extremely cautious. Before taking each step, he would tap the ground with the branch in his hand to test the water.

But the accident still happened.

"Wow!"

Without any warning, a bird cry similar to that of a red-tailed bird suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

The distance was extremely close, and several people's eardrums were hurt by the shock.

Genado's expression changed: "Young eagle?!"

"Damn, how come they are here?" Wilson cursed. He recognized the voice, but they had clearly bypassed the wild bird forest, so why did they encounter the young eagle?

With another cry, a young eagle rushed out from the darkness with a long hoarse cry, giving no time for anyone to prepare.

"Get down!" Genado yelled.

Seeing the shadow flying towards her, Jenny was so frightened that she forgot to call for help. Fortunately, Johnson reacted quickly and knocked her down. At the same time -

"boom!"

Jim, holding his shotgun, fired.

Young eagles bully the weak and fear the strong, so they must be killed as a warning to others immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Jim is an old hunter who has been a mercenary and fought in the battlefield. One of the reasons why he changed his gender to a man is that he is very good at shooting and is also a bit rough. No one likes a rude woman. Men always have a strange desire to win, which made him very unpopular at that time because his shooting skills often beat the opponent to the point of feeling ashamed.

However, he missed the target with this shot.

It was night and visibility was low, and the young eagles were very fast. Unless they rushed towards us from the front, it would be difficult to capture their movement with the human eye.

After the gunshot, more young eagles made sounds, just like a pack of wolves besieging their prey.

There are at least a dozen of them.

The sudden attack threw everyone into disarray.

Genado forced himself to stay calm and shouted, "Find a tree trunk to squat and protect your vital parts!"

Young eagles are not poisonous and will not die as long as they are not pierced in vital parts by the sharp beak.

In comparison, the biggest challenge is how to repel these wild birds.

“If not, let’s just run…” Jenny said fearfully as she got up and hid behind Johnson.

"Don't run!" Wilson stopped him immediately.

Running is a sign of weakness. Once they stretch their legs and expose their backs, within ten seconds they will face endless young eagles, and it will be impossible to escape even if they have wings.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunfire continued, but with little effect.

Killing only two or three of the more than ten young eagles was not enough to scare off the rest of the flock.

The scene was in chaos for a while.

"Damn it, how can these birds form a formation!" Wilson wanted to fire two more shots, but he saw several young eagles lined up in a row. Their hard wings put together emitted a cold glow in the moonlight, like a guillotine crossing over, easily cutting off the branches in the path, and "chopped" towards him, almost killing him in the second he showed his head.

Wilson quickly retracted his head.

The young eagle missed its target, but its momentum was undiminished.

Wilson subconsciously looked back and found that the group of birds was not targeting him, but Sean.

Because Sean was still holding a torch!

When everyone crouched down and hid behind the trees, the fire became the only clear target of attack in their eyes.

"Sean! Put out the fire!" Wilson said anxiously.

But it’s too late.

Given the position and angle in which he and Genado were, they couldn't even shoot at the flock of birds, and the probability of accidentally hurting Sean and Conina was higher than hitting the young eagle.

Hearing the screams and sounds that were getting closer and closer, Conina, who was with Sean, turned pale with fright. The only thing she could do was to cover her well-maintained face tightly. She would rather be pecked to death than be disfigured.

Until the next second.

Cornina felt that her eyes suddenly brightened.

When the light is bright enough, you can feel it with your eyes closed.

She couldn't help but open one eye and peek through her fingers.

Then his eyes opened wider and wider.

Not only did Sean not put out the fire, but he somehow made it burn even more fiercely than before. The blazing flames almost illuminated the entire area where they were.

"Sean, they are not afraid of fire!" Genado reminded hurriedly.

Sean: “I know.”

Needless to say, the young eagle dared to follow the fire to find him, obviously not afraid of fire.

But after tonight...

“They’ll be scared.”

Sean hooked his finger.

Then, everyone saw - a huge ball of fire, as if suddenly being unravelled, split into several strands by Sean's fingers, and then, under their eyes, one strand after another turned into sharp arrows and shot towards the young eagle that was rushing towards them.

"boom!"

"Wow!"

The flaming arrow exploded as soon as it hit the target, igniting a series of small fireballs. The forest was immediately filled with shrill screams, accompanied by the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue.

Sean sniffed his nose: "Hmm...it smells better than wolf meat?"

Conina: “?”

Genado: “???”

Johnson Jenny: “???”

Jim: “??????”

Everyone's eyes were wide open and their mouths could fit two sausages.

After catching Sean playing with fire in the car last time, Jim rubbed his eyes again.

What the hell had he just seen?

Sean turned the flames into arrows and shot them out, killing the flock of young eagles? ?

Conina was dumbfounded: "Sean, how did you do this?"

Sean still used the same two words: "technique."

"Isn't it normal for a magician to control fire?"

Everyone: "???"

They looked at the young eagle falling from mid-air, its feathers burned and its skin scorched...

Damn, you call this magic?

Sean ignored them and picked up a roasted bird, wiped off the dust, tore off a leg and put it in his mouth to taste it.
