My Magic Age

Chapter 80 81. Wolves under the cover of night (Part 1)

I originally thought that after entering the wasteland, it would be like entering my own back garden. All kinds of magic herbs are everywhere, waiting for us collectors to enter the wasteland and dig them out from the fertile soil with shovels. According to the The medicinal properties are either dried, soaked in potion, or Just collect them in a small bottle. I just need to carefully distinguish what the magic grass is and what kind of magic grass it is. But when I was really in the wilderness, I found that there was only endless grass in front of me. I imagined There is not even a shadow of the magic grass or anything in it.

Throughout the afternoon, Qige and I searched aimlessly for magic grass in the wasteland, but we couldn't see even one styptic grass. Kurtz told us: To see the most rudimentary magic herbs, you have to walk deep into the wilderness for at least three or five days. There are very few edible wild vegetables around the town. Kurtz pointed to the ragged grass. Said: "Jia, look, there should have been a lot of wild vegetables here, but now the soil has been turned up and it looks like this. It was done at least a month ago, and the roots have been dug up. When I was very young, there was little rain for two years and there was a famine in the tribe. My grandma would lead the women in the tribe and us children to the pasture. Dig up wild vegetable roots and eat them. As long as the ice and snow melt, they don’t even need to sprout. These wild vegetable roots are a good thing to satisfy your hunger.”

"Qige, don't bother looking for it. Even the wild vegetable roots have been dug up by the orcs to satisfy their hunger. How can there be magic herbs left? It's all caused by war and famine. Hey! We have to go deeper. Let's go." I climbed up on Aguimon in frustration, put my hand on Katarina's hand and jumped up on Aguimon's back.

The sun has set to the west, and we are walking all the way to the southwest. There is no so-called road in the wasteland. We can walk freely on the flat grassland, but the only trouble is that even if we deviate from the original route, we will not You will know that only on a clear night, Kurtz can judge our approximate position based on the star map. I stood on Yaguimon's back and stretched my waist and muscles, but something dazzling shook me, making my heart suddenly sink.

At the same time, Kuz also stood up from Aguimon's neck. He turned back and looked thoughtfully at the road he was looking at. The vast expanse of grass and mounds stretched as far as the eye could see, and no one could be seen at all. But his expression was still serious, and he told me directly: "Jia, they are coming!"

The so-called them are the noble children headed by Ming Qian. I just didn't expect them to react so quickly. It only took most of a day to catch up with us. We originally thought that in this vast wilderness, even if the routes we took were only one degree apart, we would lose sight of each other after walking for dozens of miles. However, the murderous intent hidden in the grass behind us was pointing at us from a distance. Kurtz was born with a hunter's keen sense of smell and the ability to predict danger. Any ferocious beast lurking in the wilderness can't hide its own murderous intent. This is where Kurtz can feel it.

As for me, as my magical perception gradually increased, my five senses also became much stronger, making my vision and hearing very good. Just now I determined that it was a silver button that reflected sunlight. That would make me alert. I don’t think any orc hunter or beast in the wasteland would have a silver button!

"He is hiding very secretly. He probably doesn't want us to find him, which means he may be a person!" I guessed.

Kuz drove the Agui beast to a gentle slope, stood at the highest point and looked around, but still found nothing. The man lurking in the dark seemed very alert, but hung far behind us, refusing to take a step closer. We could only feel his presence, but not his location. Kurtz rubbed the alloy bow on his back impatiently, and said to me impatiently: "He is following us, he must be waiting for his companions, why don't I go out and shoot him to death with one arrow!"

I quickly grabbed him and said, "Azi, don't be impulsive. I may have a way to deal with him."

...Beautiful dividing line...

Finally, before nightfall, our team successfully found a large piece of rock that could provide shelter from the wind.

Here, we prepared dinner slowly and each of us tried to eat as much as possible, because we might not be able to eat for a long time. Because we decided to set off again after dark. Shake off the tail following us. We pretended not to be aware of it and kept walking and stopping along the way, looking for primary magic herbs in the wasteland. It's just that the two people who often jump off Aguimon no longer have me, replaced by Katarina, while I hide on Aguimon and make traps.

As a hunter, Kuz is equipped with a trap for trapping animals. However, because Kuz’s luggage is limited and he cannot carry too heavy luggage, he did not bring a trap for large beasts with him when he came out this time. I bought some small animal traps for hunting small animals and birds. Such animal traps are very simple. They were exchanged for guinea pig meat and the blacksmith uncle in the caravan during the caravan. These small animal traps are the most suitable. Bird hunting, because I said before that I would make him a fried sparrow dish, but I never managed to hunt enough chickadees for a plate, so later Kuz asked the blacksmith uncle in the caravan to make dozens of them that were only the size of a palm. Even hunting a hare with a trap like this is a bit laborious. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch a hare by clamping the front legs. If you are not lucky, the hare will escape because it is too small.

What use is such a trap? Making a trap, that's right, because we prepared enough magic scrolls before we set off. These magic scrolls are not just fire-gathering magic scrolls, and I also took great pains to draw thirteen frost magic scrolls. I carefully tied the frost scrolls to the trap, carefully placed it in the leeward part of the rock where it is most likely to be stepped on, and sprinkled the trap with soil.

My trap was made very poorly. If it was during the day, you would be able to see the clues at a glance without looking carefully, because the rolled-up magic scroll was covered by loose soil, like a small mound, and the traces of human intervention were very obvious. But at night, even on a full moon night with sparse stars, it would be difficult to find it because it is too small. Qi Ge and I have tested the power of the frost scroll. If an ordinary person unfolds the scroll, the icy breath inside will freeze the person directly, but it will only last for a moment, and then he will slowly recover. Sister Guoguo said that the power of this magic scroll can only frostbite ordinary people. I didn't expect to hurt the noble warriors who were chasing us. Each of them was at least wearing light armor made of magic antelope skin. Even such a basic magic beast leather armor has a certain ability to resist cold and fire. They should not be hurt by traps, but their Gubolai horses may not be covered with such leather boots on their legs. As long as the horse is injured, let's see what he can use to chase us.

But if this follower lurking in the dark does not dare to approach our camp all night and does not respond accordingly, then I hope that I can get rid of him after a whole night.

At night, we carefully extinguished the campfire and started our journey in the wilderness again, and began our escape.

Under the dark blue starry sky, the cold wind blew. I asked Katarina and Qige to wrap themselves in blankets. Unlike Kuz and me, they had fur coats made by Old Kuru himself. Although the fur coats looked old-fashioned, I found them very practical when I really entered the wilderness. Old Kuru's thoughtful eyes appeared in my mind again. He must have something to say to us.

Three hours later, we rode the Yagui beast for at least 30 kilometers. In the direction of our night camp, a gorgeous firework bloomed in the sky. Our hearts sank again! I didn't expect these noble sons to have magic fireworks in their hands. This artifact that can send signals to summon companions at night is too deadly for us.

We can only rush to the predetermined location as much as possible!

... Beautiful dividing line...

In this vast wilderness, even an old hunter who has lived for decades cannot remember every place clearly. As long as he remembers certain specific places in the wilderness, he will own the entire wilderness. The small trap the day before yesterday bought us at least three days to travel, but we could sense that danger was getting closer and closer to us again.

Along the way, on the green grass full of tender green tones, we could see traces of hemostatic grass everywhere, but these hemostatic grasses that seemed to be not old enough were not popular. Even yellow sheep did not like to eat them because of their bitter and spicy taste. Along the way, we saw ordinary bison herds several times in succession. Just last night, I finally saw what a wild wolf pack in the wilderness was like.

The scene was very dangerous at that time. A large group of one-horned bison ran wildly across the wilderness less than ten meters away from our sub-returning beasts. At that time, the earth was shaking. Only then did I feel so clearly that I was like a grain of sand in the vast ocean. How small it was, how small it was. In front of such hundreds of bison, even if I was covered with full-body fine steel armor, I would be trampled into minced meat by this crazy herd of bison within a few seconds. Afterwards, several adult wind wolves led hundreds of wild wolves to chase the herd of cattle. At that moment, I even saw a pair of dark green eyes looking at us. Kuz stood alone on the head of the Yagui beast, holding a crescent-shaped alloy bow, nervously watching the group of wild wolves. In the end, the wind wolves that had become monsters did not change their target and continued to follow the herd of wild cattle. However, among the hundreds of wild wolves that followed, dozens of gray wolves surrounded us. Those wolf eyes that became like green fireflies in the dark night made me tremble with nervousness. I wished I could use all my strength to clench the silver-plated hunting rifle in my hand.

I stood on the back of the Yagui beast, with my calves pressed tightly against the leather saddle to keep my body balanced. At this time, I could feel the Yagui beast below trembling. When it saw such a large group of wild wolves, the fear from the bottom of its heart had made it unable to take a step forward. Yagui beasts are also herbivores that live in groups. In the wilderness, large groups of Yagui beasts will not be too afraid of wild wolves, but single Yagui beasts are often delicious meals for wild wolves.

In this hazy night, dozens of wild wolves that had left the team rushed towards us desperately. I could only see that they were like illusory shadows in the dark night, rushing towards us at a very fast speed. The Warcraft-level wind wolf leader who was leading the wolf pack to chase the bison also discovered the abnormal situation of the wolf pack behind. He just made a long wolf howl, but it had no effect on the dozens of wild wolves that had left the team. The wind wolf did not stay for long, and gradually disappeared into the night behind the bison herd.
