Chapter 156 Smiling Lucian
Somewhere in the secret forest.
A wizard apprentice was covered in gray. Under the cover of witchcraft and camouflage, he looked unremarkable at this time. If it weren't for the faint smell of blood coming from his injured calf, I'm afraid he would have looked unremarkable at this time. He blends in with the natural moss on his body.
"It's almost there, it's almost there..." There was a glint of hope in the eyes of the wizard apprentice Hunter.
Before entering the bloody battle secret realm, he had a kind of confidence in himself or a kind of survivor bias. He thought that with his relatively outstanding strength among the second-level wizard apprentices, he might not be able to defeat those third-level wizard apprentices. However, As long as you are careful inside the secret realm, you can still get a few badges to exchange for some resources to support your own wizard path.
But he didn't expect that the situation inside the Blood Battle Secret Realm would be more cruel than he imagined.
The preparations he made before entering the secret realm seemed so ridiculous in this cruel environment where third-level wizard apprentices need to be cautious and hide.
If it weren't for the blessing of luck, I'm afraid he would have died in this cruel secret realm long ago and become the "food" that nourishes this land.
But luck can only favor for a short time. When faced with possible raids, sneak attacks, or even traps and ambushes from other wizard apprentices, Hunter still seems to be struggling.
Just like last night, he was attacked by a team of wizards. Although he managed to escape with the help of a disposable life-saving witchcraft, his lower legs were also in a semi-crippled state due to being attacked by witchcraft.
"The potion is almost gone..." Hunter felt the pain coming from his right leg. He could only grit his teeth and took out the last third of the recovery potion from his pocket.
After Gudu Gudu finished drinking, the injury on his leg gradually healed, but due to the insufficient amount of potion, the injury on his leg did not fully recover.
But soon, Hunter felt something. He didn't care about dealing with his wounds. Instead, he buried his head in the moss. At the same time, he concentrated his breath and breathing to the extreme, trying to integrate himself with the environment. In one piece, only a pair of eyes were left, looking through the gap, waiting uneasily for the judgment of fate.
Two figures in gray robes quickly passed by not far from him, which made Hunter sigh in relief.
But soon, his expression froze instantly, because he felt the breath of another person coming from behind him, and the malicious wizard apprentice behind him stepped down hard.
"Well..." Hunter's expression instantly became distorted, because the place where the third-level wizard apprentice behind him stepped was the wound on his calf.
At the same time, while he was despairing in his heart, he also understood that he had probably been discovered by those three guys long ago, and their actions just now were just some kind of bad joke.
Thinking of this, Hunter's eyes flashed with a hint of despair.
But at this moment, three arrows made of vines flew from the distance. There is a faint wind element attached to the arrow, which not only makes the arrow fly extremely fast, but also makes no sound.
Puff puff...
The two weaker second-level wizard apprentices didn't even have time to resist, as the arrows penetrated their throats accurately. They only had time to make a "ho ho" sound, and then slowly fell to the ground with horror on their faces. , the look of life in his eyes quickly dissipated.
The leader of the third-level wizard apprentice noticed the arrows shot from a distance, and at the same time summoned an ice shield to resist.
Bang--
The arrow's power was only slightly hindered, and then it penetrated the ice shield. However, under the efforts of the third-level wizard apprentice to block it, the trajectory of the arrow that was originally intended to penetrate the third-level wizard apprentice's throat deviated slightly, and finally only hit the latter's shoulder blade, where he shot a terrifying Penetrating wounds.
"Ah..." There was a hint of fear in the eyes of this third-level wizard apprentice.
One move, just a long-range move from the opponent, had already seriously injured him. If he hadn't made a quick and ruthless decision just now, it would be unknown whether he could handle this arrow.
"Escape!" He made such a decision almost subconsciously. His whole body turned into a wisp of breeze, and under the urging of the wind attribute witchcraft, he began to flee quickly in the direction away from the arrow.
But at this time, the second arrow has arrived.
Because this third-level wizard apprentice was the only one left at this time, only one arrow flew.
Although the speed of this arrow that was faintly surrounded by thunder and lightning was not as fast as the previous wind arrow, its power was greater. With a faint sound of thunder, the arrow hit as if it had eyes. The back of the fleeing third-level wizard apprentice followed the rhythm of the electric current, and soon a faint black smoke emitted from the body of the third-level wizard apprentice who crawled to the ground. "Strong... too strong..." Hunter almost stared blankly at the several wizard apprentices who had died tragically at this time. His eyes still seemed a little dazed. After all, all these reversals were too fast. .
The third-level wizard apprentice who was standing high a moment ago, admiring his fear before death, was now lying on the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead, like a dead dog.
And his two younger brothers, who were about the same strength as him, were already dead. Even before they died, they probably didn't even know who killed them...
Hunter stood there in a daze at this time. He did not dare to move, for fear that the strong man using the bow and arrow would notice him because of his movements and shoot him with an arrow.
Under Hunter's anxious gaze, several wizard apprentices walked towards this side, surrounded by a petite-looking wizard apprentice.
Two of the apprentices ran a few steps quickly, passed by Hunter, and skillfully searched for the three corpses on the ground.
One of the wizard apprentices, who looked kinder, showed a kind smile when passing by Hunter.
"This seems to be a wizard apprentice from our forest school..." Hunter looked at the wizard apprentice and seemed to have thought of something, and his heart suddenly started to beat unsatisfactorily.
"Um...you are..." Hunter just wanted to ask if the other party was a member of the temporary organization formed by the powerful apprentice with some legends and mysteries, but for a while he didn't know the specific name of the organization. , when asking at this time, I couldn't help but hesitate a little, not knowing how to describe it.
"Do you want to say...mutual aid club?" The wizard apprentice, who was also from the Forest School, paused slightly. Then she looked at Carly. After seeing the latter nodding lightly, she smiled and said to Hunter. A hand was extended.
"As long as you are willing to hand over the badge, at least until the end of the bloody battle in the secret realm, you can join us and get some protection. Of course, if you want to continue fighting with other wizard apprentices to gain badges in exchange for resources, we also respect you. It’s a choice, but what your outcome will be after that is no longer within our scope of consideration..."
"I'll join!" Hunter's eyes flashed with joy of life.
Almost without hesitation, he took off the badge that represented his identity and handed it to the wizard apprentice who also came from the forest school. He breathed out a sigh of relief as if he had handed over a hot potato, and when He raised his head and looked at the ray of sunshine over the secret realm, feeling his whole body brighten.
"The 29th..." Carly looked at Hunter, who had the most simple smile on his face at this time, and silently muttered a number in her heart.
…
Outside the secret realm, many official wizards also paid attention to the "safe zone" that seemed a bit out of place in the secret realm, but most of the official wizards remained silent.
Because they found that it seemed that this method of providing shelter gave those weak wizard apprentices hope, and at the same time, it seemed that the speed of collecting identity badges was faster and more effective than the current hunting process.
After all, if you want to hunt other wizard apprentices, you need to search hard, and the fixed shelter they built, as time goes by, can attract more and more weak wizard apprentices to actively join...
According to this logic, I am afraid that the powerful wizard apprentices who preside over this shelter will earn badges faster and faster...
Thinking of this, many official wizards couldn't help but look at the badge redemption list set up by the third-level wizard De La Torre, and then they looked at Lucian with envy in their eyes.
After all, now they all know that Carly is Lucian's student, so the badges she collected in the secret realm will most likely become Lucian's trophies in the end.
This is a huge fortune!
Many formal wizards regretted it at this time. If they had known that they had invested in Carly in the first place, even though Lucian would definitely take away the bulk of the money, they could still have a sip of soup by following Lucian. And judging from Carly and the others' efficiency in collecting badges, I'm afraid they can even drink soup.
Feeling the envious or complicated looks from other formal wizards, Lucian couldn't help but sit up slightly, raised his head, and a smile appeared on his face.
It was like a parent whose child was emphatically praised at a parent-teacher meeting. The sense of pride and accomplishment made Lucian feel extremely happy.
And looking at Carly's gradual transformation from being shy and silent in the process of forming the "Mutual Aid Association" to now having a leadership temperament and being a big sister, the experience of this bloody battle in the secret realm may also be a new one for Carly. A rare piece of experience and spiritual wealth.
