My Magic Age

Qige and I continued to walk westward along the grassland outside Tanton City. Along the way, we saw Green Empire knights who died in the wilderness several times. The bodies of Gubolai horses were lying on the side, with swollen abdomens and a faint stench. They looked like they had been dead for several days. The scars on these knights were basically the same. The penetrating wounds were like someone punched through their chests with an iron fist. The delicate scales on their bodies seemed to have no effect.

Those Gubolai horses had their backs to Tanton City. It was not difficult to guess that these knights broke out of Tanton City and were about to send news to the strongholds around Tanton City, but were chased and killed by the spider warriors along the way.

Looking at Tanton City from here, Tanton City has already merged with the green grass and blue sky in the distance and the gray-black Aconcagua Mountain in my sight. In my eyes, the water vapor on the green grass can only be seen in a vague light yellow color.

We went straight into the high ground of the defense line arranged by Duke Samoyed to resist the spiders of the Abyssal Hell Nibru tribe. The fortifications here were just within the sight of Tanton City. I looked up and saw that there was a beacon tower here. This should be the nearest sentry post to Tanton City. If a bunch of smoke was lit here, it should be clearly visible standing on the wall of Tanton City.

I jumped off the magic broom, stepped on the messy gravel, climbed up the broken ancient wall, and stood at the highest point of the beacon tower. There was also a pile of ashes of mosquito repellent grass that had burned to ashes. It seemed that when this sentry post discovered the enemy, the sentinels stationed here immediately lit the mosquito repellent grass on the beacon tower.

I reached out and picked up some mosquito repellent grass ash, imagining in my mind that when the war started, there must be a column of smoke rolling up from this sentry post. Unfortunately, perhaps before the reinforcements from Tanton City arrived, this place was captured.

Looking down from the beacon tower, the entire sentry post was trampled into ruins by giant creatures. A huge gap in the stone wall and a deep gully on the ground were seen. That must have been caused by a spider warlord over ten meters tall who violently crashed into the stone wall. All the stones on the stone wall were scattered inside the sentry post fortifications.

The fortifications here had been completely destroyed by the spider warriors. The high walls made of huge stones were full of scorch marks from the fire and traces of fighting. Half of the broken weapons were inserted into the cracks of the stone walls. Half of the flags were burned to ashes and the other half was soaked in muddy water.

In this area, no bodies of Green Empire soldiers could be seen. Those spider warriors had abandoned this place. Only the dark brown blood stains on the wall still recorded that a tragic battle had taken place here not long ago.

I guess that perhaps these Nibru spiders cleared all the sentries around Tanton before besieging the city. Maybe these Nibru spiders just happened to pass by here, and then the spider army flattened this sentry post.

I felt a little cold in my heart, and silently prayed that it was not the first case, because Catalina was still stationed in the Trum stronghold. Although from the map, the Trum stronghold is far from being comparable to a small sentry post, but these spider armies as large as the tide, no matter where they go, can flatten a small sentry post with a charge.

These spider warriors have eight sharp spider legs, are not afraid of high walls, and the tough armor on their bodies is not afraid of the rain of arrows shot from the front. They are naturally powerful and are not afraid of the heavy armored cavalry of the Green Empire. I think maybe only the knights of the most elite knights of the Construct Knights under the Duke of Samoyed can confront these spider warriors from the front.

However, the number of these spider warriors should be limited. Although Tanton City was surrounded by spider warriors, the number of spider warriors themselves was probably not as many as I thought, because these spider warriors were huge in size. When they gathered together, they were overwhelming, which would give people a strong sense of oppression.

There are twelve large strongholds outside Tanton City and dozens of small sentinels. They are all built on the defense line built by the Grand Duke of Samoyed. If those spider warriors want to divide their troops to attack all the strongholds and sentinels, it will inevitably cause insufficient troops to besiege the city, and the Trum stronghold will also escape. Although I have been comforting myself like this, I am still very worried.

…

Finally, I passed through this open area without any danger and entered the dense forest again.

In the dense forest, riding a magic broom will undoubtedly turn those countless fine branches into countless tough whips. Those branches will be whipped on the face, and blood marks will appear. So we plunged into the jungle, put away the magic broom, and could only walk.

When we found the first sentry post that had become a ruin, I already had a clear direction, because these sentries and strongholds were almost on the same line. When the Grand Duke of Samoyed built these fortifications, he also tried to connect them well, and each sentry post was built on a high place.

Soon we found another sentry post hidden on a high hill in the dense forest. Although it was not razed to the ground by the spider warriors, there were traces of fighting everywhere. Many bloodstains were printed on the stone walls, which looked so shocking.

There was still no figure in this sentry post. I tried to find the bodies of the Green Empire soldiers, but the battlefield was cleaned very cleanly. Except for some white spider silk hanging on the stone wall, there was almost no trace left. Those empire soldiers seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and the entire sentry post became lifeless.

This time, the mosquito repellent grass on the beacon tower didn't even have time to be lit. The battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out suddenly, and then it ended quickly, so quickly that the soldiers didn't even have time to light the warning fireworks.

Originally, we planned to rest for a while in this sentry post. Qi Ge decided to take advantage of the break to mix some snow ink to replenish the magic scrolls in my magic backpack.

Every time we fight, our fighting method is simple, that is, to throw out a lot of ice magic scrolls luxuriously, making the surrounding environment become icy and snowy, so that once the ice magic including "Ice Spear" and "Frost Nova" is opened, the power will be increased to the maximum effect.

In the stone forest, I used a large number of ice magic scrolls to create an ice and snow environment, and used ice wall magic to build an ice wall formation. When all the ice walls were blasted, the ice explosion forcibly extracted all the temperature in this area by explosion, so that the temperature of the area in the ice wall dropped to a very terrifying level at this moment, instantly freezing all the creatures in the area. If there is enough preparation time, even those spider warriors will find it difficult to escape this special ice wall formation.

These ice magics can be so powerful, which is closely related to the ice and snow environment created by ice magic scrolls in the early stage.

Every battle consumes a large number of magic scrolls. In fact, every victory in a battle is piled up with countless money.

Qi Ge began to worry that the high-level Warcraft leather in my magic waist bag was used up, but when she walked out of Xinliu Valley, her thoughts changed completely, and she began to actively help me mix the falling snow magic ink.

Suddenly, from a distant tree, I heard the warning of Takama, the maid of the lizard. I quickly jumped down from the high platform and ran to the place where Takama made the sound. I saw Takama lying behind the stone wall of the sentry post, nervously looking at the forest below the high hill. Here, her eyes could just see through the gaps in the trees and see the movement in the forest below the high hill.

I leaned over and saw a group of natives from the Yelo plane quietly passing through the dense forest. I couldn't see how many people there were, but it always looked like a lot. The skin of these natives was reddish-brown, and they could be distinguished from the imperial people at a glance. Most of them wore linen clothes and bark skirts, and most of them were barefoot, walking south along this jungle.

Among this group of natives, the elderly and children were sandwiched in the middle, the strong men walked in the front, and the women protected the elderly and children on both sides. There were also a few strong men who fell at the end of the team. They held wooden sticks and animal bone spears in their hands, and kept paying attention to the movement in the jungle from time to time.

But these were obviously not the reasons why Takama was nervous. The reason why she was nervous was because... just at the top of the dense forest canopy below the high hill, there were countless jungle hunters lurking - giant spiders.

They hid their bodies with dense branches and leaves. Although the natives did not find them, from the area where Takama stood, looking down from above, dozens of giant spiders hiding on the treetops appeared in my field of vision very clearly.

Suddenly, at this moment, I finally knew the reason why the guards of those sentinels could not even find the bodies after they were captured by the spider warriors. In fact, the root cause was that they were stored as food by these giant spiders. These giant spiders were not only slaves of the spider warriors, but also logistical support for the spider warriors.

In fact, these spider warriors were very picky eaters. They almost didn't eat anything, only the nutrient solution in the silk cocoons. However, these silk cocoons filled with nutrient solution are all made by these giant spiders after they capture their prey, wrap the prey in white silk cocoons, and then inject venom to melt it into a sour and smelly nutrient solution. The spider warriors only eat this disgusting thing.

So the simplest way for giant spiders to hunt is to clean up the battlefield. Giant spiders don’t care whether they are imperialists or Yelos, they will eat them all.

This time, dozens of giant spiders set their sights on this group of natives who are preparing to migrate out of the Black Forest, and they are about to start fighting.

Takama and I were on the sentry post and saw this scene clearly.

Takama was very nervous. She tried to slow down her breathing as much as possible, worried that she would attract those predators.

Although we are not afraid of these big guys, that is only when facing one or two giant spiders. If there are really dozens of giant spiders rushing at us together, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist.

This time, my idea was completely different from Takama's, because I was the hunter in this jungle, and those giant spiders were very valuable treasures to me. I no longer had to hide the secret of Xinliu Valley, and I could open the portal to Xinliu Valley at any time, so hunting these giant spiders was just a piece of cake for me.

I was a little excited, and Takama turned her head and looked at me. She saw the excitement on my face, and couldn't help but lower her voice and asked me: "Are you going to do it later?"

"Of course, this is a good opportunity to "take down" these giant spiders in one go, and I certainly won't miss it!" I smiled at her, casually took out the "Hammer of the Sky Breaker" from my waist bag, turned around, slid down the stone wall, and drew another space-time rift inside the sentry post, raised a small portal, and walked in.

...

Five giant spiders jumped down from the top of the tree canopy and appeared in front of the group of Yelo natives. They opened their sharp black tentacles like spears and their heads were covered with black round eyes as big as coconuts, becoming hideous and terrifying.

They approached the natives together. The strong men who were walking in the front immediately stood in a row in front, holding up the wooden sticks and bone spears in their hands. Some people began to call out loudly, and suddenly there was a wailing sound in the team of natives. Everyone in the team immediately turned around and ran to the back.

The team became very chaotic, but only the native men standing in a row had the most determined eyes. They confronted the five giant spiders without retreating. When the giant spiders tried to approach them, they also screamed and waved their wooden sticks frantically, trying to stop the giant spiders from approaching, but they always insisted on not retreating.

It was obvious that they were ready to sacrifice themselves to protect the safe evacuation of the entire team.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated. Just as the main force turned around, five giant spiders suddenly appeared from the forest behind the team. The strong men who had been in the back row and were leading the way in front also roared in despair, but they finally insisted on their beliefs and quickly formed a human wall to block the giant spiders.

The entire team of natives began to become extremely chaotic. They didn't know where to escape. Some natives ran to the sentry post on the mountain ridge on our side, but more natives fled to the forest area in the opposite direction of us.

Several giant spiders jumped out of the jungle in the opposite direction of us and blocked the way of the natives. These giant spiders formed a huge net bag, completely wrapping the natives in it. There was only one direction where no giant spiders appeared, that is, the road to our sentry post, and no trace of giant spiders was found.

Those young native women were like crazy, taking some children who could still run and climbing up the hills here.

But they didn't know that there were at least dozens of giant spiders lurking in the treetops not far from our sentry post. They were the main force of this hunt.

Those giant spiders raised their tentacles high, and every time they fell, they could pick up a native with their spear-like tentacles. The sharp tentacles pierced their chests, and the blood in their chests gushed out. Regardless of whether they were struggling to death, the giant spiders directly spit out spider silk from the spindle spinnerets, quickly wrapping the natives on the tentacles into a white silk cocoon, and then sticking it to the tree trunk next to them at an extremely fast speed.

Then they pounced on the next native man who was resisting desperately, and those native men fell down like cutting wheat.
