Sword and Magic and Taxi

How are you?

I'm fine. Zhao Mai replied. As long as he doesn't meditate on natural transformation, this body can hold up, at least that's what Wadsworth assured him. The forces of nature, whether sweet or sour, are good for the body—just not the mind. Nature has a will of its own, and the nature of Athas is filled with an angry will.

I know you, you don't look like much. Butcher said in a low voice: These people are all bandits, but their equipment is average and their physical fitness is not very good. I am sure to kill half of them, and you can only kill the other half. Just hold them off if you need to, and I can take care of them when I turn around.

No, we can't fall out unless we have to. We still need to find a road to a relatively safe city. Zhao Mai said: And you have to be careful about their psychic powers, a spell that controls emotions and creates matter.

These people are all warlocks? Butcher was a little surprised.

The more remote the country, the more ferocious the people there may be. And this is a desert wilderness, so it is naturally better. Zhao Mai shook his head and said: Speak less, they may be able to interpret our common language.

Butcher closed his mouth and leaned against the cave wall to rest. From close to noon to just before sunset, no one walks outside during this time, so everyone is concentrated in the cave. As soon as the sunset appears, they will set off, follow the mountain road to the west and north, and after crossing the entire mountain range, they will find the road to Tire City.

Zhao Mai called the reserve food over, made it lie down, and then stroked its body with his hands. The natural force emitted from Zhao Mai's palm and slowly penetrated into the puppy's body. Relax, my brother. Zhao Mai whispered: You have to adapt to the environment here and you have to grow.

Druids can use their natural powers to enhance the abilities of their animal companions, such as improving its strength, agility, better defense capabilities, and affinity to druid spells. People say that animal companions are extensions of Druid's limbs. Many enhanced spells that can only be cast on oneself can also be applied to animal companions, relying on this affinity. But what Zhao Mai needs most now is that the food reserves can adapt to the water and soil. He needs better soles to endure the temperature of the ground, and he also needs better breathing habits to protect the moisture in his body.

Xiaohua's situation was the same, and Zhao Mai also gave her the force of nature. These forces have been absorbed by him, stripping away the anger, leaving only the breath of the natural environment. It is a very long process to use the Force to transform living things, but as long as you persist, you can get good results. Just like people often say that when you arrive in a new place, drinking local tea and eating local tofu can reduce the problem of acclimatization. In fact, it is the same reason.

This flowing force naturally attracted the great grandfather's attention, and he couldn't help but become more curious about the identities of the two people. Opposite Megilot Mountain is a huge sea of ​​sand. It is completely uninhabited and there is no oasis at all. Where did these two people come from? The sand they fell on contained extremely fine grains of salt, which could only be found deep in the sand sea.

Full metal weapons, strange magical abilities, and that big, muscular body. How much food is needed to feed such a strong slave, and how can one make such strength obey orders? Grandpa gradually got an idea. Even if he wanted to eat these two people, he couldn't do it himself. I remember there is a place in the mountains. As long as it is hidden, maybe the monsters there can help.

In the evening, everyone started to set off and headed north along the rugged mountain road. This is a path only known to poachers, escaped slaves and bandits, and there are many traps in the middle. However, since Grandpa and his group discovered this road, after careful exploration, they have figured out the situation on the road, and naturally they are not afraid of being trapped by the agency.

Zhao Mai and his team walked in the front and middle of the team, seemingly relaxed, but actually full of vigilance. Ever since they set out on the road, there have been constant roars in the mountains, and large rocks falling from the mountain tops into the deep valleys, stirring up dust like clouds and making sounds like thunder. Small pieces of dust rolled down the slope, and soon brought up a large amount of loose earth and rocks, forming a raging rock flow as powerful as a rainbow. The trees that originally clung to the cracks in the mountain wall lost their vitality and were buried underground.

This is the result of extracting the natural force, taking away the last support in an already barren area. This is just the beginning, and the collapse here will gradually intensify, and the entire mountain may even turn into a sand dune. All the deserts in Atas come from this, from the blue ocean, the green forest to the yellow-brown sand dunes. The powerful magic has also changed the color of the sun several times, from golden yellow to red now, and will even change color again in the future. Compared to these great and terrifying powers, what Zhao Mai used was just a drop in the ocean.

Can this small amount of power play any role in the major events in Tire? Zhao Mai is actually asking himself this question. Being a bystander is completely different from being a participant. The Witch King's terror is not a legend, nor is it as harmless as the lies he used to deceive these sand thieves. It is true that the benefits obtained by following the rebels are greater, but who can guarantee that the future will be the one he knows? What would happen if the slaves failed, if he failed with the slaves?

A scream interrupted his thoughts, and the team slowed down. Bai Paoke held the weapon in his hand and looked ahead nervously. Not far away is a mountain col, where the road will take a sharp turn and then lead to an open platform halfway up the mountain. In the corner of the platform, there is a mountain wall that will seep water droplets at night, which is enough for everyone to replenish water. But now, I don’t know why the manticore’s voice is heard? Is there a monster occupying the platform? But judging from the sound, the scream just now contained a warning. Who is the manticore warning to? Does it still have an owner?

Why are you panicking? The barking manticore means that he is not in good condition, is timid, or is not fully tamed. In short, he cannot exert his fighting power. The grandfather waved a stone hammer and pulled one of his sons. Go and see from the front who has robbed our place. Is Aidoukoin, who is guarding the water source here, dead or alive?

There was indeed a group of manticores in the valley, occupying a shady cave for a long time, but not around here. When in danger, Grandpa will lead the enemy to fight the manticore and profit from it. This time he also planned to frame the two visitors from the Sand Sea in this way, but he didn't expect that a manticore actually ran out, which would definitely arouse the vigilance of those two people. Although manticores love to be clean, their caves still have some characteristic marks that you won't miss as long as you look carefully.

The son turned around the mountain col, and a stone spear pierced his chest. Grandpa looked at the narrow path behind him. The only option now was to charge! The son was severely injured and fell down the cliff crookedly. During the fall, he was still trying in vain to pull out the stone spear. Grandpa waved his hand, and all the white-robed guests rushed forward.

Zhao Mai also waved and followed Butcher.
