Chapter 586 587. Hunting
The night sky in the Dark Land is a light red sky, and the Dark Gate Expeditionary Army camp is built in a mountain col.
There were only slightly gentle slopes on both sides of the camp, which couldn't even be called a ridge. Roy wore a magic cloak and climbed to the top of the ridge in one breath along the not-so-flat path.
Looking up from the black soil ridge, under the light red sky, the entire area is basically composed of undulating ridges.
The clusters of very light black mist on the slope are ordinary dark creatures. These black mist can be large or small, but they are basically just mist masses one or two meters in diameter. They all keep a certain distance from each other and float above the ground. Almost one meter in the air.
There are also some very dark mist masses in these black mist. They are basically larger in size. These are considered advanced dark creatures.
They have independent hunting consciousness and will wander around in the air. When they encounter ordinary dark creatures, they will devour them...
Every time they swallow an ordinary dark creature, they will be peaceful for a long time.
These black mist groups are everywhere in the mountains and plains, but they are not very dense. Even the dark creatures that are relatively close will be more than ten meters apart...
Roy observed them carefully for a while and found that they were moving on the ground, as if they were absorbing some of the dark atmosphere emanating from the black soil.
Standing in the vast mountains and fields, Roy decided to walk outside again, and then made his first attempt in the dark land.
He performed the 'Glimmer Illumination Technique' on a slope, causing a ball of sacred light to slowly float into the air. Under the illumination of this ball of sacred light, the dark creatures floating nearby were affected. The dark aura on them began to evaporate.
Driven by instinct, these ordinary dark creatures gathered towards the sacred glimmer of light.
This sacred shimmer is like a magnet, attracting the surrounding dark creatures. Some of the more fragile dark creatures are completely evaporated by the soft holy light halfway.
Only some relatively powerful dark creatures can gather around the sacred shimmer and cast a black veil around the sacred shimmer.
Roy, who was waiting under the holy light, was like a hunter, constantly casting 'purification spells' on these dark creatures, and the dense dark mist turned into nothingness under the illumination of the holy light.
Not every dark creature will leave behind soul crystals. Only those high-level dark creatures will have a certain chance of leaving behind soul crystals the size of a small fingernail after being purified.
Roy is a thirteenth-level great priest, and the Holy Light Tree in his body contains a large amount of Holy Light power. After he purified hundreds of advanced dark creatures, Roy picked up two pieces from the ground under his feet. More than ten soul crystals.
However, every time a dark creature is driven away, a ray of soul breath will penetrate into Roy's body. Roy found that this soul breath has a clear nourishing effect on the Tree of Holy Light.
Although Roy cannot directly restore the power of Holy Light, since it can nourish the Tree of Holy Light... that is also very good.
As daylight approaches in the dark land, there are more and more dark creatures in the wilderness, and dark creatures like dark clouds may even appear in the distant sky.
The day in the dark land is a blinding night to the elves.
Whenever this time, dark creatures become extremely active...
Roy did not dare to stay any longer on this hillside, and quickly extinguished the sacred light above his head. Suddenly, the burning of the holy light was gone, and the dark creatures around him became quiet again.
However, on the hillside where Roy is located, there are very few floating dark creatures...
Roy wrapped his body tightly in his magic cloak, and then walked quickly down the slope, avoiding the floating dark creatures, and jogged all the way back to the Dark Portal Expeditionary Army camp.
…
In the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp, Captain Timothy led a team of Dark Moon Elf warriors to patrol the camp. Before it got completely dark, he saw Roy wrapped in a magic cloak and walking away from the camp. Run in from outside the valley.
Seeing Boss Roy back safely, Captain Timothy breathed a sigh of relief.
The magic cloak can indeed block the perception of dark creatures. He saw Roy walking past the dark creatures several times, and the dark creatures seemed to be at a loss.
At this time every day, many mixed-blood elf warriors gather by the pool.
During the period when the Dark People's Expeditionary Force was stationed at the camp, the Elf Warriors of the Mine Guard Group had almost nothing to do except patrol the camp every day. Recently, everyone has become accustomed to gathering by the pool after dark to practice Roy gave everyone the "Onlooker Lighting Technique". Currently, three mixed-blood elf warriors have successfully learned this simple magic.
The elven warriors heard that only by learning the 'Low Light Illumination Technique' would they have the opportunity to leave the expedition camp. For a time, everyone's enthusiasm for learning divine magic was high.
Roy walked into the camp from outside the camp, took off the magic cloak on his body, came to the pool and received a plate of fruit and a glass of life tree sap from an elf warrior.
Ever since the Mine Guards entered the Dark Land, the sap of life has become a frequent guest on the Mine Guards' menu.
After drinking the diluted tree sap of life into his stomach, and feeling the rich breath of life spread throughout his body, Roy found Captain Timothy by the pool, sat down next to him, and then proudly took the magic pocket from his pocket. He took out a few soul crystals and handed them to Captain Timothy.
"Is this what you get from dark creatures?" Captain Timothy took a soul crystal in his hand, looked at it again and again, and asked Roy.
Roy said while eating dinner: "Well, and this thing is only found occasionally by some advanced dark creatures."
"What kind of crystal do you have?" Captain Timothy asked, flipping through the soul crystal in his hand.
"I don't know. I haven't seen this thing in the magic market, but it shouldn't be too valuable. After all, high-level dark creatures are everywhere in the mountains and plains. You can get more than twenty pieces just by squatting in a day. It shouldn't be as valuable as magic crystals. That's worth something," Roy explained, shaking his head. Then he added: "I'm going to go for a walk tomorrow."
"Then you have to be careful..."
Captain Timothy actually wants to follow Roy, but currently there is only one magic cloak on the mine guard team, and he cannot leave the camp...
"Don't worry, I will be very careful."
Roy said proudly.
…
There is still no clue about the repair work of the Dark Door. The faces of several magisters are full of tiredness and their moods have become a little irritable.
A few of them can already represent the highest authority of the forbidden magic circle in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, but they are still helpless when facing the Dark Gate with countless uncommon space runes.
But the Dark Gate connects the Elf Continent and the Dark Land, so it is naturally impossible for them to ignore this trouble.
Several magisters gathered together, took a short rest, restored the mana in their bodies through meditation, and took out some mental potions to drink.
The two magisters who were leading the repair work once again argued with the magic drawings.
Magister Elaud sat on the steps, charging his staff.
Roy walked over from the camp, and Magister Elaud smiled at Roy and asked: "Captain Roy, is there anything I can help you with?"
Roy took out a soul crystal from his magic pocket and handed it to Ellaud, and asked respectfully to Magister Ellaud:
"Magister Elaud, do you recognize this thing?"
Elaud only glanced at it before returning the soul crystal to Roy, and told him with a smile: "This is a soul crystal fragment, the smallest piece of soul crystal. Did you get it from those dark creatures outside the camp? "
"Um."
Roy nodded in admission.
Magister Elaud said again:
"This thing is a magic material, but we elf mages rarely use it. However, the necromancers like it very much, so I can't say its specific value."
Roy quickly thanked Magister Ellaud:
"Thank you, Magister Ellaud!"
He has never heard of the profession of Necromancer, at least not in the Elf Academy in Castletown City...
Roy did not continue to disturb Magister Ellaud, but returned to the pool with a wink.
A group of mixed-blood elf warriors sitting by the pool screamed in surprise. Unexpectedly, after Roy had only left for a short while, six mixed-blood elf warriors successfully performed the 'Low Light Illumination Technique' in a row.
As long as you successfully perform magic once and find that subtle feeling, the rest will become easier.
Watching the sacred shimmering light rising above the pool, it immediately attracted the envious exclamations of a group of mixed-blood elf warriors...
In the next few days, Roy frequently ran out of the expedition camp, found an independent hilltop outside, used sacred light to attract the surrounding dark creatures, and then used purification techniques to disperse them. Almost all of those advanced dark creatures died there. Under the purification technique.
There are also several advanced dark creatures that are relatively powerful and cannot be purified by the purification technique. Roy can only cast Holy Light Bullets to completely disperse them...
In just five days, Roy found that his physique had changed a lot, and the tree of holy light in his body was also growing rapidly, with many new branches sprouting on the dense canopy.
Roy purifies dark creatures on the mountain every day. When the power of holy light in his body is almost exhausted, he will withdraw from the mountain to the expeditionary camp...
As long as you sit by the pool for a night, the power of holy light in your body will be quickly replenished.
He has accumulated more than a hundred soul crystals the size of a fingernail. Roy feels that if he keeps hunting high-level dark creatures, it won't be long before he can advance again.
He had almost wiped out the dark creatures around the slopes near the Gate of Darkness valley, and new dark creatures would not be added so quickly. Roy had to go further if he wanted to hunt advanced dark creatures.
The magic cloak requested by the mine guard group has not yet been delivered, and Captain Timothy and the elf warriors cannot follow Roy.
Hearing him talk about going further afield, Captain Timothy was naturally the first to stand up and express that hunting in the dark land was risky and disagreed with Roy's risk of going further afield alone.
