Sword and Magic and Taxi

The lake of ashes is a misnomer, and there is no ashes in it. The lake here is clear and calm. Under the sunshine at noon, the forests and mountains in the distance form clear reflections in it, and together with the blue sky and white clouds, they form a wonderful and peaceful picture. This kind of scenery is already very rare on the earth. As long as it is a place with beautiful scenery, it will inevitably not be set foot by human beings, and then affect or even destroy it. If there were no crossbows under his feet, Zhao Mai dared to say that this was the most beautiful lakeside by the forest he had ever seen.

Holding the car door with one hand, he raised the other in the air, indicating that he was unarmed. His eyes scanned the surroundings as quickly and carefully as possible, hoping to find who had shot the arrow. Going against the direction of the crossbow arrow, a large clump of dense bushes half a person's height blocked his sight, and the woodland behind was even more dense and opaque, and he couldn't find anyone.

The other party is either hiding well, or has changed position. Zhao Mai shouted several times in the common language again, but still no one responded to him. Although it is safe to get back into the car, what is the difference between that and being trapped in Cloud City by the devil?

After waiting for another two minutes, no crossbow arrows were fired, and no one came forward to claim responsibility for the attack. Zhao Mai thought for a while, and felt that the possibility of being attacked again was relatively low, so he might as well let go of his courage and do what he should do. So he took a deep breath, prayed in his heart to all the gods and Buddhas he knew for blessing, then walked forward slowly, stepped over the corpses under the wheels, and stood on the clean ground.

The pebbles by the lake have been washed round and smooth for a long time, and it is only when they step on them that they finally feel a little down-to-earth. Zhao Mai looked around, and after looking at it for a while, he finally understood what creature the car had killed. There aren't many creatures with wings and three heads, especially with three different heads, and this is unmistakably a chimera.

Chimera is not a specific creature, but a general term for a class of creatures. All creatures that are affected by chaotic forces, have magical abilities, and have more than three heads and characteristics are called chimeras. No two chimeras are alike, and the vast diversity makes it difficult to produce consistent offspring. However, this kind of creature has a lifespan of up to a thousand years. After not having to worry about reproduction, the chimera has only one desire left: to eat.

The power of chaotic magic gives them a variety of elemental sprays, sometimes generously with the ability to cast simple spells. Different heads can fire different spells, fire, acid, ice and lightning are all possible, which provides a great boost for predation. Aside from wild creatures, the vicious chimera often raids villages, so it's often high on adventurers' kill lists. Unlike the giant dragons whose colors and elements can correspond, what abilities the chaotic Chimeras can display has nothing to do with what shape of their heads they have. This is very difficult for adventurers to deal with, so adventurers are often a good meal for Chimera.

The Chimera under Zhao Mai's feet has the heads of sheep, lions, and some kind of birds. It had just caught a wild boar not long ago and was about to feast on it by the lake. Zhao Mai's taxi landed just behind its neck, and its absolute firmness brought a huge impact, breaking its shoulder and turning its entire upper body into a puddle of mud. It was definitely a quick and painless death, leaving most of his body unscathed.

Looking at the dark green scales on the Chimera's thick thighs, and then at the wild boar whose belly has been bitten open. Zhao Mai shook his head, it is better to start with the food he is familiar with.

The crossbow bolt was still stuck in the ground, but at this moment, he could think of eating it. Perhaps this is the most powerful gene inherited in the bones of the Chinese nation. Food is the most important thing for the people, and every piece of food on the plate is hard work. Zhao Mai knew that he had nothing to eat in his car, except for two emergency packs of chocolate bars and a few bottles of mineral water. Coupled with the fact that the breakfast Xiaolongbao that was originally planned was in vain, of course he had to find a way to solve the problem of eating and drinking first.

If you want to eat pork, you have to cut and wash the pork first, but Zhao Mai didn't have a knife at hand, so he immediately put his idea on Chimera's sharp claws. Since the top of the monster itself was completely broken, he moved the Chimera's right front paw and began to cut the left front paw. One front leg weighs more than 50 catties, and it is very difficult to carry it on the shoulder, and it is even more exhausting to hold it in the arms and use it as a saw. Only the tip of the cut claw is light enough to be used as a weapon.

Without food and clothing, the enemy will come forward; without guns and cannons, the enemy will build us... Zhao Mai sang while working, and there is nothing more suitable for his current situation than the guerrilla song The situation is gone.

Although there is no Cao Cao in the other world, it may be a quirk that every world has. Zhao Mai swore that he never let down his vigilance, but he still didn't know how the sharp blade on the back of his head came close.

No malice, no malice. Zhao Mai slowly let go of the thing in his hand, repeating it in his mouth. He didn't panic at all, knowing that his judgment was correct. The opponent is holding a long-range weapon. Since he didn't shoot himself to death before, he is not a vicious robber, and he can still communicate.

Of course, there are dangers in this, and Zhao Mai knows it well. If he landed in a big city, he would definitely not take any risks. But in this wilderness, the current situation is already the best.

The other party murmured a few words, but the age or even the gender could not be judged from the voice. Zhao Mai's lingua franca was not good enough to understand his words, but he could understand the meaning of the sharp blade tapping the side of his head. He turned around slowly, finally able to know who captured him.

This is a shriveled old man covered in camouflage. The fishnet-shaped cloak is covered with grass and trees. If he is lying on the ground, it will be a bunch of bushes. Zhao Mai can often see this kind of old people in the park. Most of them are waving chess or fishing rods. The old man in front of him had a serene and peaceful face, no different from the kind neighbor and second uncle, but he was fully armed. In addition to the sharp sword held steadily in his hand, three spears and a heavy crossbow are on his back, a blowgun and a row of poison darts are hung on his belt, and daggers are tied next to the left and right leather boots .

It's not good to speak. Zhao Mai pointed to his mouth, and then added, No malice. The old man in camouflage kept his short sword on Zhao Mai's neck, reached out and touched his whole body to make sure there was nothing hidden weapons, and put away the short sword. He pointed to the car, then to Zhao Mai, and said in a different tone, No malice?

Zhao Mai followed up and repeated. In order to prove that he was truly intelligent, he pointed to his chest, Zhao Mai, he said.

The old man in camouflage figured out what Zhao Mai meant, but his tongue was clumsy, and he couldn't pronounce the sound Zhao, which always sounded like old. If it is Old Zhao, there is no problem, but if it is Boss, something is not quite right. Zhao Mai thought for a while, but also to hide his real name, he changed his name to Mike.

This pronunciation is much simpler for the camouflage old man. After going back and forth, Zhao Mai also knew the old man's name: Carl Korsa.

Not only that, he also judged the main ability of the old man: this is a jungle ranger.
