My Magic Age

The depth of this valley is only more than 30 kilometers, the widest part is two kilometers, and the narrowest part is less than 100 meters.

The valley is densely covered with branches and leaves, and bushes grow thickly. I don’t know how many years have passed. The fallen leaves in the valley have accumulated layer by layer. The valley is full of miasma in this midsummer season. There is a stream hidden in the valley covered by bushes. It sometimes appears in people’s sight, and sometimes hides in the swamps where dead branches and rotten leaves are deposited. It disappears on the ground for a while, drills into the ground like a dark river, and bubbles out in low-lying places like spring water.

There are faults of rock walls on both sides of the valley. When you get close to those rock walls, you can clearly see a lot of gravel mixed in the rock layers.

"It's so humid here. The two-headed fire snake lizard is a second-level fire attribute monster. How could it choose to build a nest here?" Andy followed the hunter guide. His long leather boots stepped on the dead branches and leaves full of water. The rotten leaves stuck to his boots. He pulled his feet out with difficulty and complained that the Thieves Guild that sold it to Senior Benjamin might have made a mistake in the information.

If it is said that there is a poisonous lizard hidden in this valley, it would seem more credible.

No hunter is willing to go into such a valley. The conditions here are extremely harsh. If you are not careful, you will fall into this muddy swamp. You may even be taken into the underground river before you can even call for help.

At this point, even the experienced hunter guide is no longer in the mood to tell us the classic story of hunting monsters. He often holds the long wooden pole and tries to walk on the road under his feet.

Senior Benjamin's face also became a little ugly. Did the grandchildren of the Thieves Guild determine that the team members could not walk into the depths of this valley, so they wove such a perfect lie.

The morale of the team began to decline. No one expected that the environment here would be so difficult. Every step forward required great courage. There were weeds and bushes here, and there was no way to go. The thorny vines with sharp thorns were entangled in them. The sharp thorns would tear a hole on the clothes just by scratching them. Walking in the weeds and bushes that were more than one person tall, it was often difficult to tell the direction. Fortunately, we could still see the broken walls on both sides of the valley, and the hunter guide could lead us forward little by little.

Entering the dense forest, the road became much easier to walk.

I reached out and grabbed the horizontal branch of a big tree, jumped onto the trunk nimbly, and climbed to the treetops like an agile monkey, scaring away a group of budgies. I stood on the treetops and looked at the whole valley like a green scarf. Aren’t those closely connected treetops the prints on the scarf?

Carefully feeling the wind flowing through the valley, there was actually a faint smell of sulfur in the air. There was geothermal lava in front of me. I concluded that this smell was the sulfur smell emitted from the exit of the geothermal lava, which was a little pungent.

The dense forest in the valley only had the smell of dampness and plant decay. The weak wind could not penetrate into the dense jungle. If I hadn't climbed to the top of the tree canopy, it would be impossible to smell this sulfur smell.

I jumped directly from the canopy more than 30 meters high, and senior sister Mia covered her eyes tightly in fear.

Jumping down from this height is as easy as eating for me. When we were in the caravan, the thunder rhino we rode was several meters higher than the canopy here. Every day we had to jump up and down on the back of the thunder rhino like monkeys, and we never thought how dangerous it was.

The life of the imperial people is really too comfortable.

When senior sister Mia opened her eyes again, I was already panting slightly and standing next to senior Benjamin.

Andy was envious of my tree climbing skills. As a ranger, he should learn these, but it seems that he did not learn how to climb trees. This skill is not an exam subject in the academy.

"I was really scared. I thought you fell from above!" Senior Mia said to me while patting her bulging chest.

Andy looked at me with a new look. He looked at me again and said, "Ji Jia, you are really good!"

Senior Benjamin asked me curiously, "What did you find? You couldn't wait to jump down in such a short time?"

He really has the aura of a leader. He can analyze everything very accurately, at least he can detect some small details.

I pointed to the denser jungle belt in front of the left and said to everyone, "There is a smell of sulfur coming from there. I suspect there may be geothermal lava there!"

"Do you mean that the two-headed fire snake lizard is hiding in the geothermal lava?" Senior Benjamin looked at the dense forest in front of him and wanted to open a portal to pass through it. He turned to the hunter guide who was resting nearby and said, "Let's go over there!"

... Beautiful dividing line...

We groped forward along the exposed stream in the predetermined direction, and accidentally stepped into the stream. The stream water here is warm. The closer to the stone wall fault, the stronger the sulfur smell.

Where there is stream water, at least it can prove that there is still soil here. Dick and Trenshu held hatchets in their hands and opened up a narrow passage in the dense bushes. When they hunted the two-headed fire snake lizard, they would serve as reserve members and would not directly participate in the battle because they had not yet successfully promoted to formal warriors.

After passing through this dense bush, the hunter guide suddenly stopped in front and called Dick and Trenshu to stop.

We hurriedly got closer, and through the thin layer of bushes here, we found a cave with water vapor and smoke coming out of the rock wall of the valley. The pungent smell of sulfur came from there.

A huge lizard with an earthy yellow tail with red dark stripes appeared in our field of vision. It was sleeping at the entrance of the cave. Its head and body were hidden in the cave, leaving only a short and thick bucket-like lizard. The tail is exposed. The basilisk's tail has two rows of sharp bone spurs, and the tail is covered with egg-sized scales.

"It must have fallen asleep." The hunter guide hiding in the bushes said in a hoarse voice. He didn't sleep well yesterday because he was hunting grouse in the valley. When he woke up in the morning, his voice became hoarse. .

A sound like a drum came from the cave, and the 'rumbling' sound had a strong tremor.

This is an adult two-headed basilisk, but it is much bigger than we initially expected. We can clearly see its huge short tail as thick as a bucket, and its huge buttocks in the dark cave looks as fat as a giant elephant. The team The guy inside has been silent and unwilling Veblen, the archer who spoke, came close to senior Benjamin, and he whispered a few words gently into Benjamin's ear. My hearing is much sharper than that of ordinary people, and I could vaguely hear Veblen saying: "Boss, This big guy looks much bigger than in the intelligence!”

According to the information I found in the library, an adult basilisk weighs less than a ton, which means that the basilisk is not much larger than a one-horned bison, but the one in front of me The two-headed snake lizard, just looking at its short tail and fat butt, you can tell that it cannot be too small at all.

"Get back first!" Senior Benjamin did not delay too much in the bushes outside the cave entrance. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately led the team back along the opened path.

Although we were well prepared this time, we never thought that the two-headed basilisk would be much larger than imagined. In this case, the power of the basilisk would also increase proportionally. For the warrior Will, , there are great risks.

Will looks very tall. His dark skin has a chocolate-like sheen. His whole body is covered with bulging muscles. He carries a tower shield like a door panel on his back and a saber hanging on his belt. He is one of the members of the team. The strongest person, but facing the two-headed basilisk that looks like a meat mountain, we are still worried that this graduate who has just been promoted to a shield warrior will not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the two-headed basilisk from the front. .

"Boss, let's try it according to the established plan!" Will pondered for a moment and said.

As a shield fighter, he cannot tolerate himself escaping without fighting. This kind of frustration will become his inner demon in his future growth. A warrior must have courage and fighting will in his heart. I was in his words at this time. , already feeling high morale.

Benjamin thought for a while, then turned to look at Mia, the priest's apprentice sitting next to him. Maybe Mia gave him some confidence in victory. He hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision and said to Andy beside him: "Be prepared to find an open area as a battlefield..."

He looked at me and said, "It's best to be by the stream."

"I know, boss!" Andy said seriously.

So the members of Senior Benjamin’s team began to perform their respective duties and get busy.

The soldier Will sat under a tree and took out a whetstone to polish a sharp saber. He wanted to calm down and think about the details of the battle. Senior Benjamin gave Will two bottles of endurance potions and five bottles of healing potions. , and patted him on the shoulder and said: "No need to hold on, if you find something wrong, just take it off."

Will nodded.

Veblen began to choose the footholds on the big trees, and then with the help of Andy, he tied a simple rope ladder under the branches of some big trees suitable for archery. I think he wanted to be condescending and use a long The bow suppresses the basilisk, but it seems like climbing a tree It was a troublesome thing for this archer, so he tied a knotted hemp rope on every big tree that could be climbed. I looked at Wei with admiration. Bren, I thought to myself that the old saying is true: a living person cannot be suffocated to death.

The assassin Ram has always been like an invisible man in the team. He always sits in an inconspicuous corner, and it is easy for everyone to ignore his existence. At this time, he also began to follow Andy to become familiar with the surrounding environment. During the battle, if you accidentally fall into the mud pit hidden under the dead branches and leaves, it will be great fun.

Senior Mia seemed a little nervous, but her retinue, the female swordsman, was always by her side to comfort her.

Senior Randolph and I stood together. His attendant was a shield warrior, standing behind him like a shadow. Randolph had been discussing with the shield warrior: "Mr. O'Connor, if you send me to Go to the top of the tree. I don’t think you need to protect me. After all, my fireball range is far enough. Go help Will!”

"Forgive me, Lord Randolph. Although I am your subordinate, my duty is to protect your safety. When you are in danger, my shield must appear in front of you as soon as possible. This is a contract. We must abide by the conditions here," the shield warrior said sternly, but there was no look of relief on his face, so he probably wasn't so optimistic about this hunting.

Randolph didn't argue too much in this regard. He just sighed and said, "Okay!"

…

"Jijia, let me rush up too!" Minotaur Luka said to me excitedly. He is usually a gentle and simple bull, but once he has the will to fight, he will become crazy, which makes me look at him with a little worry.

Minotaur Luka looked at me with pleading eyes. He took off the big wooden hammer on his back and said to me impatiently: "I want to practice the fighting skills I learned in the Warrior Academy a few days ago!"

Luka's eyes were eager to fight. For a minotaur who came out of the underground black boxing arena, he has rich fighting experience and has also experienced the test of life and death. He has enough courage in the face of danger. I really have no reason to refuse, but he doesn't seem to worry about my safety at all, which makes me a little unhappy. I really want to say: Hey, do you still want to be my squire? Didn't you agree to protect me?

"Jia, protect yourself, it's best to let that big guy stay with you..." Senior Benjamin came over and said to me.

"Um, senior, Luka said he wanted to help, I agreed!" I said and quickly added: "I will take care of myself!"

Luka stood aside and waved the big wooden hammer in his hand excitedly.

...

With the help of the hunter guide, Andy and Ram have circled the battle area, which is indeed in a forest by the stream. There are no weeds and bushes in this forest, nor are there muddy swamps. It is a good place for fighting.

Andy needs to be responsible for leading the two-headed fire snake lizard out of the cave. He needs to choose the best retreat route because he is the only ranger in the team. He is flexible and agile. The shield warrior Will walked out from under the big tree and began to study the details with Andy. He had to choose the best place to meet Andy. He was the main force to fight against the two-headed fire snake lizard head-on.

At this time, it was Senior Benjamin who had arranged the task who was free. He held an exquisite Roman sword in one hand and a knight's light shield in the other. During the battle, when Will made a mistake or his life was threatened, he would immediately take over Will's position and confront the two-headed fire snake lizard head-on.

To be on the safe side, I began to set up some enhanced frost scroll small traps around the battlefield. A few days ago, a group of adventurers returned from the ice and snow tundra. They brought back a large number of ice grass. Marvin happened to get the news and arrived first. He bought a few plants before those big herbalists, which gave me the opportunity to draw an enhanced version of the 'Frost Scroll'.

Watching me place small bird traps around the battle area, Randolph came over curiously and asked, "What are the attributes of these magic scrolls? Water Gathering Scrolls?"

The two-headed fire lizard is a fire-attributed monster. Senior Benjamin asked me to come here so that I could cast the 'Ice Shield' on all combatants. In this way, when facing the two-headed fire lizard, everyone will not be afraid of its scorching flames. In addition, I can also set up a few ice walls to block the attack route of the two-headed fire lizard when necessary.
