Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 62 Discovery of Earth Leys
In the dense forest, although the road is very wide, even the caravan's wagon is enough to pass.

But these twisted clumps of trees gathered overhead into a thick canopy, so that the mild sunlight could not dispel the deep shadows of the forest paths.

At this time, a crisp sound of horseshoes came from afar, followed by a few vague figures appearing in the dark path, which gradually became clear from far to near.

Anderina rode on the horse, brushed the messy hair on her forehead, glanced at Thorn who was walking in the front, and kept silent all the way, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she shook her head helplessly .

Looking at the twisted and intertwined tree branches on both sides of the forest, the dense branches and leaves flicker with a slight blue light from time to time, coupled with the strange birdsong in the depths from time to time.

All kinds of eerie images immediately appeared in Anderina's mind.

drive!
Then she patted the horse and gave a light reprimand. The light horse under her seat raised a breeze from the side of the troll Trundle, and quickly rushed to Thorne who was at the front.

Andrina got off her horse and walked side by side with Thorne, holding the rein.

"What kind of trees are these? Why are there faint blue lights flashing on the leaves from time to time? It looks weird." Andrina noticed Thorn's slowed pace and asked casually.

"The name of this tree is blue-leaf tree, not because its leaves are blue, but because the sap from the crushed leaves can be made into a bright blue dye. Cloth of this color is used by nobles. favorite.

If the leaves are burning, there will be jumping blue flames. The stove in the tavern in Yuanshan Town often likes to burn these leaves to enliven the atmosphere. It is very beautiful, you can try it. "

Thorne took a look at a fallen leaf, threw it away and said.

When Anderina heard this, a look of curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Immediately, with a slight movement of the fingers, two pale yellow leaves slowly fell to the palm of the palm. The moment they touched the palm, the leaves burned strangely, and beautiful blue flames danced in the dark dense forest.

Looking at the beating blue flame in her palm, Anderina waved her hand lightly, and the leaves that turned into ashes were scattered with the wind.

"Then how far is it from Yuanshan Town?" Anderina continued to ask.

"It's almost there after walking out of this blue-leaf forest. At the current speed, it will take about two hours. Although it has been turned into ruins, it will be fine for one night."

Thorne looked at the deep and secret path ahead and said.

Swish!
At this time, there was a commotion in the bushes on the left side of the road, which immediately caught Thorne's attention.

So Thorn stopped and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a wounded little animal." Thorne noticed that Andelina was going to prepare a spell, and signaled her not to be impulsive.

As soon as the words fell, a black wild boar the size of a dirt dog came out of the bushes, and it kept grunting, looking at the three of Thorn with bloodshot eyes vigilantly.

Seeing this scene, the little devil Simba suddenly appeared from Anderina's shoulder, flapped his small dark red leather wings, flew to the top of Trundle's head, landed on his hair like a chicken coop and said excitedly:
"Great, a wild boar cub, I can finally eat meat tonight. I haven't eaten the barbecue made by Trundle for a long time."

Trundle chuckled when he heard the words, gently grabbed Simba's little tail, put it on his shoulder, and looked at the injured wild boar cub, his throat twitched slightly.

Then Trundle immediately walked over to the wild boar cub.

"Wait a moment!"

Thorne frowned and called Trundle to stop.

Seeing the troll looking at him suspiciously, Thorne ignored it.

Instead, he stretched out his hands and made a harmless gesture to the wild boar cub, and walked carefully to the wild boar cub's uneasy grunts.

Thorne gently stroked the bristly bristling hair of the wild boar cub, and the hostility in the wild boar cub's eyes gradually dissipated, and finally lay down at Thorne's feet and whimpered softly.

Looking at the little wild boar that has become well-behaved and docile, Thorne showed a smile on his face.

Ranger and Druid are born with a special ability: wild identity.

This ability can eliminate the hostility of beasts with low intelligence in the wilderness, so as to obtain some animals' help or some information.

Then Thorne moved his gaze to a wound on the back of the wild boar cub.

"It looks like a sharp knife wound, but why is there so much rust around the wound?" Thorne looked at the wound and said to himself with some doubts.

So he dabbed a little blood from the wound with his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly.

There is a breath of negative energy, is it a necromancer?
Thorne felt a cold breath and couldn't help guessing.

However, this idea was quickly rejected, because if it was really a necromancer, it was impossible not to kill even a little wild boar.

Then it is very likely that it is an undead creature. Thorne looked at the well-behaved and docile wild boar cub, gently comforted it, and then carefully examined it.

After all the inspections were completed, the doubts on Thorne's face had almost dissipated.

Because he found impact marks on the wild boar's head, and the fur on the marks was also contaminated with negative energy.

It can be seen from this that when this little wild boar wanders in the dense forest, it is very likely to encounter a naturally transformed little skeleton.

Then he slammed into it head-on, smashing the skeleton, and at the same time, his back was injured by the rusty blade in the skeleton's hand.

Among the undead creatures, skeletons are undoubtedly the weakest, especially those skeletons that are naturally transformed by overflowing undead energy.

This kind of skeleton does not have the blessing of various spells of the caster, and the skeleton that has almost weathered after many years can be said to be broken at the touch of a touch.

Apart from scaring children with its appearance, it is useless at all.

So it's not uncommon for a baby boar to crush a skeleton.

However, in a wilderness, it is impossible for undead creatures to appear for no reason.

If undead creatures suddenly appear nearby, the first thing that comes to mind is the necromancer, and then you will wonder if an underground tomb somewhere has been inadvertently opened.

Thorne thought for a while, and directly eliminated the possibility of the Necromancer appearing.

After all, even the lowest-level skeletons summoned by a necromancer cannot kill a wild boar cub.

Now there is only one possibility left, that there are underground relics or mausoleums nearby.

Thorne's mind became active, and exploring the underground ruins meant that while encountering various dangers, there would also be many opportunities, which he naturally didn't want to miss.

So Thorne took out a medical kit and bandaged the wild boar cub's wound, and waved the cub to leave.

Seeing it disappear into the depths of the jungle, Thorne immediately took out the wooden holy emblem in his sleeve and pressed it close to the center of his brow.

——"One-ring divine art: detection of earth veins!"

As Thorne chanted the spell in a low voice, bursts of light green aura gradually emerged from the holy emblem, spreading from Thorne's body to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

After a while.

Thorne slowly opened his eyes, recalling the picture that appeared in his mind.

Going northwest from here for about 10 kilometers, there is a clear lake, and on the other side of the lake is a hidden lich's lair.

A lich's secret lair?
It seems that the little skeleton was probably transformed from the negative energy overflowing from the Lich's Nest.

Thorne muttered to himself.

The divine spell ley detection he just used allows him to detect rivers, lakes, villages and towns or some cave lairs within 50 kilometers nearby.

This divine spell was obtained in the hunting ceremony after he killed Mara's followers last night.

At that time, he obtained a total of three first-ring magic positions and one-ring magic skills. In addition to the detection of the earth veins, there were no traces and fresh traces.

The function of the former is to hide your own smell and traces, and the latter can reveal traces of walking on the ground in the past month after use.

It is very useful for ranger tracking or anti-tracking.

Then Thorn waved his hand to indicate that the two people who were puzzled would continue to walk towards Yuanshan Town.

The lich's lair that he found out just now is not very far from Yuanshan Town, so he planned to go to check it alone after arriving at the ruins of Yuanshan Town.

The lair left by the lich, maybe you can find some good things from it.
