Chapter 42 Map
Xu Lai didn't know that there was an orc above him staring at him, nor did he know that his family's details were exposed. He had nothing to do in the morning but he didn't dare to relax.
I practiced bow and arrow all afternoon yesterday afternoon, and my arms were still very sore. This morning I took Su Ya to practice riding together.
Xu Lai, who has first-level riding skills, performed significantly better than Su Ya.
Su Ya used prairie horses to practice from the beginning, and followed Xu Lai out slowly. It was okay, but once she really started running, even though the mare underneath her was docile, she actually fell several times. .
Xu Lai was much better, at least he had not been thrown.
He first accelerated slowly and controlled the horse to wander around the inner circle of the camp. Later, when he felt that it was almost done, he started galloping on the grassland.
Su Ya couldn't keep up with him. There was only one archer escorting him. Her riding skills were much better than Xu Lai's.
Even seeing a few hares on the road, Xu Lai drew his bow several times and failed to hit even a single rabbit fur. He only activated a riding skill.
However, the horse archers were able to hit the rabbit's cute little head with an arrow while galloping at high speed.
The ogre magician in the sky saw Xu Lai and the two rushing out of the camp, and his heart moved. He wanted to take this opportunity to land on the ground and kill Xu Lai directly.
He does not have the ability to move and cast spells. Even if he did, his spells would not be able to reach him at such a high altitude.
However, the golden eagle carrying his body weighing several hundred kilograms has been hovering in the sky for a long time, and its physical strength has basically been exhausted.
It is easy to land at this time. Let’s not say whether he can succeed. Even if he succeeds, he may not be able to escape.
So the ogre magician put down his thoughts and controlled the golden eagle to fly towards his temporary cave.
The orc warriors in the cave couldn't negotiate at all. Only his guard captain, the orc warrior, had some brains.
"Just convey to the clan leader what I just told you word for word."
After explaining to the strong orc, the ogre magician rubbed his tired eyes. He said to the orc warriors beside him: "When that guy wakes up later, you just need to feed him, no matter where he goes."
Several orc warriors agreed angrily, cannibalism Seeing this, the magician closed his eyes helplessly.
The next moment, the other head on his body that had been drooping suddenly stood up and roared:
"Ho, I want to eat meat, eat human flesh!"
Orcs are just used to using their muscles to solve problems. They don't like to use their brains. It doesn't mean they have no brains.
However, the ogre type is extremely extreme and completely brainless. However, there are some freaks who often appear in this group.
The orc warriors skillfully picked up a few goblins and let them chop wood to make a fire. After the fire started, they grabbed a goblin and skillfully cleaned and skinned it.
The goblins did not panic. They had been used to this kind of thing for a long time. After the meat was roasted, they themselves would get a share.
Xu Lai, who was completely unaware of everything going on above his head, practiced his riding skills all morning.
When he rode slowly in the past, it was fine. But after he increased his speed, his thighs were aching.
After lunch and dismounting, he kept his legs apart and walked with a straight figure, and he did not dare to look at Su Ya. However, his current physical condition is as high as 15 points. His arm was sore from pulling the bow yesterday. After resting for most of the night and one morning, he no longer feels much and has basically fully recovered.
Su Ya's situation is better than that of Xu Lai. Maybe the friction is not intense enough, maybe she is embarrassed in front of Xu Lai, but her legs are straight together. , there is no gap at all in the middle.
Xu Lai originally had the habit of taking a nap, but his biological clock has changed in the past few days.
He has no intention of sleeping now. The scouts he sent out have not returned yet. This shows that the huge Pingfeng Mountain is not so easy to detect.
He planned to continue practicing archery in the afternoon. Not long after several targets were set up, Xu Lai could only pull the bow a dozen times.
However, the results far exceeded Xu Lai's expectations. Last night, he failed to hit a giant frost wolf that was 50 steps away. Today, all the dozen arrows hit the target, including two arrows. Hit the bullseye.
Hitting the bullseye requires a very high level of difficulty, so you gain a lot of experience.
The experience value of level 1 archery changes even faster than when it was level 0 yesterday. If this rate continues, he will definitely be able to upgrade to one and a half or even two levels in one afternoon.
Yesterday I cleaned up the battlefield and got a lot of new arrows, and collected some before the break. It will definitely be no problem for Xu Lai and Su Ya to practice for a long time.
The problem is that his only scout returned from his mission and brought the information that Xu Lai desperately wanted to get. How could he still have the energy to shoot arrows stably?
The scout brought Xu Lai a map, which was drawn on parchment. Xu Lai didn’t even know where he hid it, and there was no place on his body to hide a pen and paper.
The map is extremely rough. Except for an arrow on the top, bottom, left and right to represent the directions of southeast, northwest, the grassland and Pingfeng Mountain are not even divided into layers.
Such a map gave Xu a headache. He didn't understand what the winding lines meant. He had to let the scout explain it himself so that he could know that this curve represented a road and that curve represented a boundary.
Although these lines gave Xu Lai a headache, the map the scout brought back was really useful.
Most of the woods that Xu Lai did not dare to go deep into before were shown on the map. It was obvious that this guy sneaked in secretly.
Except for a curve representing the boundary, this forest does not actually contain much content. There are only two skull signs representing the group of undead monsters, and two special signs representing the buildings.
The smaller group of undead is guarding in front of a tall treasure house. According to the scout, there are "many" undead, while the other group of undead is guarding next to a large house, and the number is "large".
Xu Lai was silent for a while, and after a while, under the scout's "professional" explanation, he understood that many represented 20-49, and large groups represented 100-249.
There is no way, this scout is only level 4 after all, and his own detection skills are poor. Xu Lai can only express his understanding.
As for the treasure house and the big house on the map, the scout also gave an explanation. The treasure house is the tomb of a famous warrior, and the big house is the place where the most famous "vampire" among the undead is. A secluded house to live in.
The forest has not been fully explored, with only one-third of it left. The main reason is that the scout's physical strength is insufficient. After all, the main place he is investigating is Pingfeng Mountain.
According to the content provided by the scout before, Xu Lai was able to identify on his own the meaning of the symbols on Pingfeng Mountain on this map.
A wild windmill is located about one-fifth of Pingfeng Mountain, which is relatively flat. There is also a wild community of big-eared monsters, but there are only a pitiful "few" in number.
It is very steep further up. Not only are there no signs anymore, it is said that even the wild animals have disappeared.
