Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 11 Walking Through the Forest

A sloped hill blocked the way, and the territory of THE·CHE was not enough to climb up the slope in front of it. Karl also signaled that the two of them will enter the woods from now on, and it is impossible for this car to move forward in the dense forest.

Zhao Mai parked the car at the edge of the forest, and the ranger Karl dragged some vines and shrub branches and covered them at will. This is what will inevitably happen, and Zhao Mai knows that he cannot always stay in a safe car. Looking at the surrounding environment, there is no danger of landslides here, and there are few people on the road, so it should be no problem to park your car here. So he opened the trunk and took out what he had been thinking about before.

Every car will carry a spare tire, which can be replaced in an emergency when the tire is broken. Although it has been tried, all parts of the car will not be damaged or disassembled, but this spare tire should be the same specification as the normal tire, right? Although the appearance of the wheels (depending on the brand and model) will vary, they are all produced by the car manufacturer after all. They are placed in the car as soon as they leave the factory. Are they considered part of the car?

Zhao Mai sincerely hopes that this tire will also be indestructible. Its size and profile are very suitable for use as a shield - but at this weight, it is a bit difficult.

He tried, and neither Cal's dagger nor Chimera's claws left a scar when they hit the tire. Great, the spare tire has the same capabilities as the current car tire, which verifies Zhao Mai's assumption. Zhao Mai, who is hiding behind the tire, is absolutely safe.

The premise is still the same, how to hide behind this thing. The weight of the spare tire is not easy, and it is not impossible to pick it up with one hand, but it is already close to Zhao Mai's limit. If it is to be held at chest height like other regular shields, and then make defensive actions, it will be too difficult for Zhao Mai. There is also a gap in the middle of the wheel hub. If the enemy shoots an arrow at the gap, the tire shield will be helpless. But you can't give it up because of these, because Zhao Mai has few things he can use, and no matter how hard or tired he is, he has to grit his teeth.

You must know that if your arm strength is not strong enough, you can practice, and if the gap is too large, you can use something to block it, but it is too precious to be absolutely indestructible. For novices who cannot be resurrected, it is better to defend and increase the chance of fault tolerance than to rely on attack to solve everything. So this shield must be carried no matter what.

Therefore, Zhao Mai borrowed Carl's rope, gritted his teeth and carried the spare tire on his body, first adapting to the weight and strengthening his physical fitness. The other thing to bring is naturally Ci Hai. Zhao Mai still hasn't mastered the local language, so he doesn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Following the outsider behind him, the old ranger started his journey through the forest. He had to go home first, unload the things he bought in the town, and get ready for battle before going to Serpent Cliff Fort. Having lived in the forest for almost a lifetime, he has long adapted to the terrain here. The sprawling roots and overgrown branches held him back, and the green and gray moss, slippery as it was, did not slow him down in the slightest.

Zhao Mai couldn't do this, he walked and fell all the way. If he moved forward slowly, he wouldn't be in such a mess, but if he wanted to keep up with the ranger's speed, he would have to pay a price. He was also angry, gritted his teeth and kept silent, trying to follow Carl's footsteps. A little scratch is nothing. The suffering suffered at this time is the result of lack of exercise in the past, but it will also become the cause of lightness and health in the future.

Since falling is inevitable, it cannot fall in vain. He wouldn't let the tears cloud his vision, because he was trying to watch Carl's movements. The ranger's closeness to primitive nature will be reflected in two aspects. One is to be familiar with the geographical environment in which you live, and you will be very experienced in foraging, surviving, tracking, hiding and fighting in this environment. On the other hand, walking through the forest is still as smooth as walking on the ground in the naturally formed thorns, shrubs and slippery environments.

Walking through the forest is a technology that belongs to the wilderness, and it is meaningless in the city. Only those who are familiar with stone, bark, grass, and moss can grasp the essence. In Golarion, this ability has been passed on from ranger and druid through word of mouth, and it is rarely practiced by outsiders.

But this certainly does not include Zhao Mai. As a qualified otaku who comes from the world of knowledge and information explosion, once he regards wearing Linbu as a light skill rather than magic, the secrets contained in it can be easily dismantled under careful observation. After all, isn't all footwork and light work the control of the body, the mastery of speed, angle, center of gravity, posture and the environment? It is not easy to compare martial arts such as Lingbo micro-steps and eight-step chasing toads. The variety of changes that can be practiced without internal skills may be an advanced version of wearing forest steps. Chuan Linbu has unique features in posture and environmental control, so Zhao Mai paid special attention to how Karl dealt with similar situations.

What posture to use on the sloping mossy slate, which part of the sole of the foot is used to step on the arched tree roots that are still moist, and how to stabilize the body with the help of branches inserted horizontally. Not only can you learn from books, the initial learning is to see with your eyes, and then imitate with your body. Although wearing Linbu is a set of skills, it cannot be mastered in a short time. But even if he got some fur, it was enough for Zhao Mai to avoid more falls. What's more, the angel helped Zhao Mai improve his observation and comprehension skills. The speed of learning is enough, and now all that is left is hard practice.

Carl didn't think much of it, he was used to this speed after entering the jungle. Most of the time, he is alone, and he lacks the habit of taking care of others. After walking in the dense forest for an hour, he realized that there was someone else behind him, an outsider with no martial skills at all.

Looking back, Zhao Mai was standing more than three meters behind him. Although there were many scratches on the clothes, the dirty mud on the ground and the squeezed plant juice were smeared everywhere, and there were still many bruises on the exposed skin. But Zhao Mai had a happy smile on his face, and he didn't complain at all for the suffering he had suffered.

Karl knew in his heart that he was doing something wrong, so he had to go for a while, but now he changed his plan and took a rest earlier. It will get dark very quickly in the dense forest, and the lush branches and leaves here will swallow up the beauty of the evening, leaving only the dark night. The ranger doesn't need to prepare anything, he can sleep happily all night with just a branch. But he knew that Mike couldn't do it, the outsider didn't have the breath of this forest yet.

He motioned Zhao Mai to sit down, then squatted down to check the wound. Small scratches and a few bruises are nothing more than simple healing spells. He casually grabbed a blade of grass from his feet and rubbed it in the palm of his hand. After praying to the force of nature for a while, the blade of grass turned into a paste-like viscous substance, and when applied to the wound, it immediately had the effect of hemostasis and recovery.

Zhao Mai's eyes widened. This was the first time he saw magic. The teleportation spells cast by angels are more advanced, but only really meaningful if cast by a spell cast by a human hand. There is no reason why he can't do what others can do, and he will eventually be able to learn magic one day.

Zhao Mai, the power to destroy the world, is not interested, because no matter what he does, it can't compare to washing the earth with the east wind. He is interested in the ability to cure diseases and save lives. A remove disease spell can counteract all natural and unnatural diseases. Although I don't know how much effect this spell has on uremia, it is also a way to deal with the problem. Even if it doesn't work, regardless of whether resurrection spells are effective, a body regeneration can solve the trouble.

The sticky grass mud covered the wound, and the coolness seeped in, making it extremely comfortable. The wound that had been torn open many times stopped bleeding immediately, and scabs formed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The surrounding redness also quickly disappeared, and some itching due to the recovery of growth emerged slightly.

This thing is stronger than Baiyao, there is no need to doubt it. The spell is cast on the legs, but the effect is on the whole body. The wound on Zhao Mai's arm is also recovering at the same speed, which shows that the grass mud is not the key, but the spell.

In less than half a minute, Zhao Mai was intact. This is probably just the lowest level of spells, not really big spells. Zhao Mai kept checking his skin that had begun to shed scabs, and now he knew what kind of strength he needed most.
