Chapter 2881 The battle in front of the farmhouse
In the afternoon, Selt and Irina had a good fight in the duel field on Shuiyin Road. They fought fiercely, which attracted many people around them to whistle and applaud. Back at the mercenary station, Irina was about to take a bath and rest for a while when she saw two people chatting here from the Dark Night Blue Soul Mercenary Group not far next door. After asking about it, it turned out that something happened again in the Dragon Burial Valley. .
Dark Night Blue Soul took on a mission before, which was a mission that Opard and the others were performing before the kidnapping incident. The content of the mission is that the daughter of a local wealthy businessman eloped with a poor boy. Some people saw them hiding in a rift valley on the San Rafael Plain to avoid the servant Sona. That rift valley is a branch of the Dragon Burial Valley. , the servants did not dare to enter and could only search along both sides of the valley.
Due to the wealthy businessmen spreading money widely, notices were posted in villages in both parts of the Rift Valley asking for large sums of money to search for missing people. In addition, the servants and militiamen did not find the two eloping people coming out. Although the two people who entered the valley were expected to be in bad luck, they still A mercenary bounty was posted to find someone to search the valley. Opard and the others took on this single mission, but after going down to the valley, they couldn't find anyone, and they didn't dare to go too deep. In the end, they returned without success. They originally wanted the leader of the group, Duye Revenant Adams, to reorganize the people and go down to the valley to have a look again. It was interrupted by the kidnapping incident of the mission.
The reason for the accident is that after the mission of Dark Night Blue Soul failed, the wealthy businessman wanted to see the person alive and the body even if he died, so he issued a reward again. This time the reward is unlimited, who can find it? The daughter of a wealthy merchant will receive a reward whether alive or dead. Of course, the live bounty was doubled. Due to the high amount of this unlimited bounty mission, and the serious internal infighting among mercenaries, three mercenary teams actually had the courage to take over the mission. As a result, there was no more Got the news. Only the outside members of the Great World Mercenary Group received the news from Tongyi Stone, and this Great World Mercenary Group was the mercenary named Crimson Tide who had fought Bing Zhixie in the duel two days ago.
As for the content of the ultimatum, it has not been revealed yet, but this incident caused quite a shock in the Desman mercenary community. Because no one has explored the branch rift valley, many people think that those mercenaries never returned and may have gone too far and entered the main vein of Dragon Burial Valley. In order to prevent more people from being killed, the mercenary union removed this task from the task list. And the San Rafael County government has erected warning signs at the entrance to the valley to remind people not to go in again.
People from Dark Night Blue Soul will say that it is because the two mercenary groups are getting along well. They know that the Bloody Mercenary Group intends to go to Dragon Burial Valley and come here to remind them. The people from Dark Night Blue Soul also wanted to go into Rafael Valley to explore again, but now they are hesitant. However, Adams still asked these two people to bring a message to meet with Yuxue's decision-makers to discuss whether to enter the Dragon Burial Valley. They also wanted to see the attitude of the Yuxue mercenary group before making a decision.
……
In the Fanggu in the mountains, flowers are blooming. Under Audrey’s guidance, Rafe Jean set up a bamboo frame and planted loofah vines. It was rare for Audrey not to drink today. . It wasn't that she didn't want to drink, but that she was attacked by a wild monster in the mountains the night before. She was bitten by the monster when she was drunk. She had been using medicine to treat the injury for the past two days and couldn't drink, but it made her feel bad.
Miss Zhen is very interested in growing vegetables. She bought various seeds in the town before and cultivated various fields around the door of her residence to grow various fruits and vegetables. She used to live in an arsenal. In addition to familiar faces, she faced cold machinery and puppets every day. Occasionally she could go out of the factory and see poisonous alkali fields. Even when she went to small villages and towns outside, she could only This short stay is nothing like now. Every day when I wake up, I am surrounded by natural greenery, and the air I breathe is much better than in an arsenal.
What interests her most now is watching the things she planted grow and change every day, and watching the skeletons in the house grow taller and grow back bit by bit. She also learned some healing magic from Audrey. Although it was very simple magic and some medical skills, Audrey could still provide simple care to the injured when she was drunk.
"Audrey, how long will it take for him to recover?" Jane asked after filling the last soil in the seed pit, scooping water from the water tank and washing her hands.
Audrey said impatiently: "You have asked me eight hundred times a day. Is it because I didn't express it clearly enough, or is there something wrong with your understanding? In ten to twenty days, he will be able to Completely grown new flesh. Stop asking, okay?”
“Then…then…”
"Stop that, let me sleep for a while." Audrey rubbed her forehead and said: "I didn't drink, so it's hard to sleep in the afternoon. I have to hypnotize myself... No, no, what happened the night before will happen again. , it won’t be good if my magic circle is broken, I can’t sleep.”
Miss Jane was afraid of disturbing Audrey's rest, but she couldn't help it. She walked to her rocking chair and asked quietly: "Audrey, let me go and play and catch some fruit bees to play with, okay? Audrey." …”
Audrey Speechless: "Do you think you are not disturbing me just because you whispered? Go ahead, don't go too far, and run back immediately if you encounter a situation."
"Okay." Jane was happy I ran out of the farmhouse courtyard to play.
The small-cap fruit wasp is a bee slightly smaller than an adult palm. It feeds on fruit pulp. It has a tender face that looks like a melon and a fruit. There is a green tull on the top of its head, which looks like a small hat. It is called Small-cap fruit bee. Its honeycomb contains fruit honey, which is sour and sweet and very delicious. Its flesh is also like cotton fruit.
Miss Jane was looking for the fruit bee in the tree, not to eat, but to play and find its fruit nectar. Little did she know that when she was looking for him, she was already being targeted by the mercenaries from the River Kingdom.
These mercenaries were commissioned by the mercenary union of the Soton River Kingdom to find traces of Claude Wins. Because of the characteristics of Wins's corpse, they got clues and came here to look for traces, but they haven't found Wins yet. , unexpectedly discovered another wanted criminal in the River Country, Leif Jane.
Two mercenaries hid in the dark and observed, comparing the portraits on the wanted poster through the leaves. After confirming the body shape, age, and appearance, one of them wanted to make a move, but was held down by the other companion. After Jane walked away, the latter said: "Looking at her condition, she seems to live nearby. Don't act rashly. Find out the situation before calling the boss and the others over." These two mercenaries were only at the mid-level level, although they were Two against one, he should have been very confident in dealing with a young girl whose wanted poster said she was only at the beginning or intermediate level. But if they fail to catch it in one fell swoop, they are not familiar with the terrain of the nearby mountain roads and disturb the people who may be nearby, making it difficult to arrest them.
The two of them made signs and bypassed Jane's range. Soon they found the farmhouse on a hill, and saw the girl taking a nap in front of the farmhouse, as well as a circle of people surrounding the fence of the farmhouse. A magic circle formed by several magic weapon pillars.
The two of them were secretly glad that they had not made a mistake just now, otherwise the small distance would have woken up the people in front of the farmhouse. Then the two of them sneaked away quietly.
Two hours later, the sun was about to set, and the smoke of fireworks rose in the farmhouse. Jane learned how to cook and was busy in the kitchen. Among the trees in the mountain forest, the two mercenaries who had retreated earlier brought their eleven companions to a place one mile outside the farmhouse. A man wearing a black horn crown looked at the farmhouse from a distance and observed it for ten minutes.
"There are only two people, two women." It must be said that this group of mercenaries was very cautious. After confirming that no one else was coming in or out, the man wearing a black horned crown made a sign of outflanking. Four people on the left and four on the right personally led the four people towards the farmhouse.
Hearing Jane's call, Audrey, who was preparing to set a table for dinner in the front yard, heard unusual noises. She turned around and looked in front of the yard, and saw a man holding a long-handled ax and wearing a black hat on his head. In the corner, wearing thick leather armor, followed by four people, strode over with malicious smiles: "Beauty, let me meet you, my name is Hei Niu, hello."
Audrey retreated to the door, took out the staff from the room, and said coldly: "Outsiders are not welcome here, please leave."
"Really? Not welcome? You shouldn't be." Hei Niu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "You shouldn't. How could two lonely women not welcome men?" The four people behind him laughed loudly. Seeing the women in the courtyard forming a protective light array, they summoned the guards.
Hei Niu noticed that the outflanking brothers were all in position. He raised his ax and struck hard. The magic circle outside the farmhouse felt the pressure of the external force and raised the shield to block the ax attack, but summoned the light array. In the middle, a murderous lion-faced beast waved its long arms, driving strong winds to bombard the curtain shield. The powerful force made the curtain shield flicker and appear weak.
Audrey saw the frightened Jane and shouted: "Hide in the house and bring me the things in the house!" She raised her staff and used magic to strengthen the magic array shield. Jane threw away the dish in her hand in fright, rushed into the room, and then threw her clothes and other items to her.
Audrey was dressed simply and could just put on any outfit. The wailing wolf beside her roared in a low voice and stared closely at the killing lion-faced beast.
Hei Niu swung his ax again and shouted: "Come on a few people, together, one, two, three..."
With a combined blow, the magic shield finally failed and disappeared. Without a trace, the thirteen mercenaries were divided into three teams, the front row was the first to attack.
Audrey stood in front of the door and released her magic: "Water Wave~!" She jumped in the air, waved her arms, and released waves of water, attacking in multiple directions. At the same time, she hit the ground with the staff and pestle in her palm: "Water Wave!" Soul Chapter 4: Silent Prayer! "Two streams of water bathed her and the wailing wolf, and their abilities in all aspects were enhanced by magic.
The power of the water moon wave of the primary magic is weak, but the amount is large and the range is wide. It spreads out in large areas, which hinders the attack of the enemy monsters. Blue thunder flames emerge from the eyes of the wailing wolf, and in the silent prayer , gaining physical strength in many aspects, like lightning, tearing apart streaks of thunder and lightning blood among the incoming enemies.
The three stronger ones followed the leader Black Bull and continued to attack. The magicians behind them also cast spells on the ground and in the sky to attack.
Audrey was hanging in front of the house, and the magic glowed from the scorpion sickle again: "Water Magic·Sky Spike!"
Spurting water jets like thorns, and mourning The cooperation of the Wolf once again hindered the opponent's attack. The killing lion-faced beast's long arms slammed into the ground, and with a strong lift, two dark winds more than ten meters high tore through the ground, destroying the wooden table in the vegetable garden. The power could instantly destroy the entire farmhouse and overturn it.
Audrey stood guard in front of the house, using her magic power to open her shield, and held on unyieldingly. However, a sudden and direct palm from the Killing Lion-Faced Beast shattered her magic shield, sending the person rushing from the front room to the backyard.
Seeing this, Hei Niu shouted: "Don't be afraid, she has the Wailing Wolf, and her magic power is not weak, but the timing of her attack is very problematic. This person is not strong. Come on!" He jumped up! Jumping on the roof, several guards led by the Phantom Beast King, Blue-bellied Ghost Falcon and other monsters from the ground and sky attacked in many places, either attacking the farmhouse or raiding into the backyard.
Audrey’s magic level is enough to deal with fifth- and sixth-level monsters, and she can also fight against seventh-order monsters. However, when dealing with mid-to-high-level humans with rich combat experience, she has some problems when there are more people. Can't handle it. Most of what he learned was astronomical observation and medical assistance. Combat magic was really a bit stretched. But she was not unprepared. There were many palm-sized magic scrolls in her pockets.
The strong do not carry magic scrolls, only the weak will purchase them. The magic level on the magic scroll is related to the person who made the scroll, but the strength of the magic scroll is related to the user's magic strength. A high-level magic scroll, used by a junior magician, is as powerful as scratching an itch due to insufficient magic power. As for a person with sufficient magic power, he can cast stronger magic without the need for a magic scroll.
So this thing is generally used in folk life, or carried by warriors and people with low magic abilities. In life, you don’t have to worry about knowing any magic tricks you don’t know. You can just spend more than ten silver coins or dozens of silver coins to buy one and use it. Therefore, in actual combat, the use of scrolls is almost invisible. The time it takes to use a magic scroll is enough for an intermediate or advanced magician to cast two or three magics.
But it is very suitable for a magician like Audrey who lacks variety in combat magic, but has sufficient magic power and is skilled in reading magic words.
The three magic scrolls were thrown into the air and unfolded. Because they had the same content, Audrey only needed to read the magic words once. The curse patterns on the scroll gradually glowed with the chanting of magic words and the inflow of magic power. Six magical tree spirits took root and formed branches and appeared in the backyard. She took advantage of the tree spirit's appearance, broke into the farmhouse through the back window, and used water magic to rush out, knocking out the mercenaries who burst into the door.
But among the mercenaries who came, Black Bull was not weaker than her, and had the upper hand in combat ability. Among the remaining twelve, there were four high-level warriors, and the guards they brought were not as good as the Screaming Wolf. , but reunited around the Killing Lion-faced Beast, he had time and space to hide, and he could also fight the strengthened Howling Wolf.
The farmhouse could not withstand the damage caused by the battle, and the walls collapsed. Audrey and Jane ran out first, and were met by the black bull's long axe.
As a magician, no matter how strong the magic power is, being close to someone is fatal. Audrey was completely unable to parry, and her body turned red after two moves. The others caught the thief and captured the king, bypassing the wailing wolf, and hit Audrey directly. Audrey applied another magical light, but the flaw in her attack was too obvious. Black Bull easily bullied her, interrupted the spellcasting, and hit Audrey's chest and abdomen with a pair of big fists. The two men gave her another blow in the back, and Hei Niu kneed her again, knocking her into the sky.
Jane screamed and hurriedly used magic to help Audrey, but a female mercenary quickly approached and choked her. If it weren't for the guardian of the Wailing Wolf, Audrey's situation would be even worse.
Hei Niu stopped and said: "Don't kill anyone." He looked at the entangled magic tree spirit and said: "Set fire to stop it, let's retreat." He struck several times with his axe, splitting up the wailing wolf and spitting it out. Thunderball: "Lead it out of the range of the tree spirit, and don't dare to follow it to kill together!"
The whole battle was very tactical, and Black Bull easily captured the two of them and retreated down the mountain. At this time, the magical tree spirit and the farmhouse had been burned into a ball. The mournful group continued to rush forward, but was blocked by the combined force of the opponent's monsters. Instead, because the savior was impatient, he was besieged and injured by the beasts.
Arrived at the water pool at the foot of the mountain, the mercenary was happy when he saw that the Screaming Wolf was injured and did not chase him down. In a blink of an eye, the two restrained women were even happier. One of them pointed at Jane and said: "Send this woman back. , it’s just a death, why don’t we all enjoy it, one big and one small, they all look pretty good.”
The group of men laughed, but the two female mercenaries did not dare to say anything and retreated silently. Go aside.
Audrey resisted strongly, but was pushed to the ground, stepped on her head, and tore her clothes violently. They couldn't wait a moment and wanted to start here.
Jin burst into tears, saying that she was dead this time. But he didn't notice that a tall, ghostly figure appeared in the crowd at the edge of the pool.
