Chapter 154

"Die!"

Merlin's hand, I don't know when a big sword has appeared. Although he has no mana, his physical quality is comparable to the element swordsman of the third-level peak, and he can reach the fourth-level element only by a little bit. The level of a swordsman.

With such a strong physique, he struggled to throw the big sword, and the speed was as fast as a white light streaking through the void, making bursts of "chichi" sounds.

The man in the cloak also had the same idea as Merlin. He turned around sharply, and a small black crossbow appeared in his hand. He violently pulled the mechanism, and a black arrow shot at Merlin in an instant.

The man in the cape is a wandering mage, and there are many ways to save his life. Carrying a crossbow and arrow is just in case. After all, the wandering mage does not have the wealth of the spellcasters in the spellcaster organization, and can have powerful spellcasting tools. , you can only carry some crossbow arrows or other tools for self-defense.

Whether it was the crossbow arrow or the great sword thrown by Merlin, the speed was extremely fast. Both of them had now exhausted their mana and could no longer release defensive spells.

"laugh!"

Merlin's big sword stabbed straight into the belly of the man in the cape, with a strong impact, it almost flew back with the man in the cape, and finally landed heavily on the ground. The expression on the man's face was distorted. He was also full of unwillingness, but he only struggled a little, but in the end he was powerless and lost the breath of life.

And the black arrows of the man in the cloak were also extremely fast. Merlin's earth guardian no longer had any mana, and all he could do now was to release the "Blast Technique". as fast as possible. Sideways.

However, he could not escape the black arrow. The arrow was directly inserted into his calf, and immediately, Merlin felt a sharp pain, followed by complete numbness.

"No, the arrows are poisonous!"

Merlin was startled. He didn't expect that the cloaked man's arrows were actually poisonous. It should be a highly poisonous potion prepared by the cloaked man, and smeared it on the arrows. Once hit, even a powerful elemental swordsman will be killed immediately.

Merlin immediately sat on the ground, ripped off the clothes on his legs, and saw the place where the arrows hit, his flesh and blood were rotting rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and bones could be seen everywhere.

"It's a corrosive potion!"

Merlin immediately remembered this highly poisonous potion. Once it was stained with this potion, it could quickly erode into the flesh and blood along the blood. Corrode the flesh directly,

very horrible.

Merlin didn't hesitate. He took out a sharp dagger from the ring and slashed directly at the flesh and blood of his leg.

"Push".

With a single slash, a large piece of flesh and blood was immediately cut off. This kind of pain is naturally unbearable for ordinary people, even if the willpower is amazing. However, Merlin has a strong mental power and can minimize the pain. Only then can he forcibly endure it. The pain of "scraping flesh".

This is real meat scraping, and it has to be fast, without the slightest hesitation.

Merlin slashed down, and nearly half of the flesh and blood of the entire thigh was scraped off. Most of the corrosive agent was scraped off, but a small part still invaded other parts of the body.

There was no way, it was impossible to remove it in such a short period of time, so Merlin quickly took out some medicines, including blood coagulation medicines, which can quickly stop bleeding, and some simple licorice herbs.

This licorice herbal medicine can dissolve some common toxins. Although it may not completely remove the corrosive medicine in the body, it can play some inhibitory effects. When there is time, Merlin will prepare some other medicines to completely remove the body from the body. corrosive agent.

The blood clotting potion was very effective, but because of the loss of blood and the fierce battle before, Merlin looked very tired at this time. He glanced at the corpse of Mage Veksha on the ground and shook his head helplessly.

"It's really dangerous this time! After all, there are still some gaps between zero-level spells and first-level spells, especially once the dark fog doesn't work, the gap will become even more obvious..."

Merlin murmured in a low voice. He leaned his back against the big tree, quietly recalling the battle just now in his mind. It was indeed very dangerous. If he didn't pay attention, he might be himself lying on the ground now.

After resting for a while, Merlin felt that his physical strength had recovered a little, but he was still unable to move, so he could only prostrate a little bit closer to Veksha's body on the ground, and directly took off the ring on his finger.

The same was true for Mage Neil's ring, which was obtained by Merlin. Then he checked the rings of the two of them. In Mage Neil's ring, there were various potion materials, elemental spar, and even some first-level spar. Spells, I think, are all first-level spells that he is going to build.

Now that Merlin got it, it can be regarded as a lot of wealth.

And the ring of Mage Vixa is even more amazing. As a powerful wandering mage, Vixa has killed many spellcasters by various means, and the strange things he has obtained are countless. .

"Potion formula? And it's a spiritual potion formula!"

There was a hint of surprise on Merlin's face. He actually found a rare psychic potion formula in the ring of Mage Vixar. No wonder Mage Vixar's psychic power is so powerful, reaching the level of a third-level spellcaster. At the point, even Merlin's Dark Mist Enhanced Edition doesn't do anything for Vyxar Mage.

Mage Vexar's spiritual power probably has a lot to do with this potion formula.

This potion is called blueberry potion. The main material used is blueberries. Although these blueberries are also very precious, Merlin has seen them in the Tower of Vientiane. After returning to the Dark Spirit Realm in the future, he can go directly to Vientiane. Exchange in the tower.

Compared with the magic potion, the ingredients for this blueberry potion are much easier to find. Even the ring of Mage Vexar still stores some blueberries, enough to prepare several blueberry potions.

After scavenging Mage Vexar and Mage Neal, Merlin used the mana he had just recovered a little to directly release two balls of fireballs, which quickly fell on the bodies of Mage Vexar and Mage Neal. The flames were burning fiercely. The two bodies were quickly drowned.

Merlin looked down at his thigh. He shook his head helplessly. He wanted to leave here, but he was powerless. He could only leave in this Maple Leaf Forest and wait for the injury to get better.

So Merlin leaned against a big tree and took out the element spar. Begin to gradually recover the depleted mana in the spell model in the sea of ​​​​knowledge...

*****

On the wide road, more than ten carriages gradually appeared. These carriages were not very fast. Outside the carriages, there were some knights in armor, who were looking around vigilantly.

"Look, what a beautiful maple leaf."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl lifted the curtain of the car and shouted in surprise when she saw the maple forest in front of her.

The girl is tall and tall. There are two braids tied at the back of his head, and his two long legs are wearing long riding boots. The slender beauty of long legs is fully displayed.

"Yeah, we've been out for a few months, but when we came back, the maple leaves were already red. The town of Ditas is in front of us. We'll rest in the town tonight, continue to leave tomorrow, and get back as soon as possible. Sunland City!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, also sitting on the carriage, looking at the red maple forest outside the carriage, and said with emotion.

"Father, let's go out and see Maple Leaf."

Looking at the red maple forest outside, the girl couldn't hold back her excitement and pleaded with the middle-aged man.

Before the middle-aged man could speak, a lady in the carriage had already scolded directly: "No, Emma, ​​it's too dangerous outside. How many thieves have we joined along the way? It's safe to rush back to Sanglan City as soon as possible."

"Mother, it's not too far from the town of Ditus, how can there be thieves? Let's go down and see for a while, and then leave immediately."

The girl pouted and said pleadingly.

The middle-aged man also pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Let Emma go down and have a look, it is rare to encounter such a magnificent and beautiful maple leaf forest, Ditas is not far ahead, those thieves should not be so bold. Besides, we still have guards, so there shouldn't be any danger."

Seeing that the middle-aged man agreed, the girl also seemed very excited and quickly jumped out of the carriage.

The middle-aged man looked at the cheerful girl and said to the lady, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look."

After saying that, he took the lady and got off the carriage, and the entire convoy gradually stopped. Some guards in armor also relaxed their expressions. They escorted the caravan all the way. This is the most important thing. There is no dangerous place, as long as you enter the town of Ditus, you can go all the way peacefully.

The red maple leaf forest looks like a red ocean, which makes people feel a lot more comfortable.

But soon, a guard quietly came to the middle-aged man and said in a low voice, "Mr. Charbury, we found a homeless man in the Maple Leaf Forest."

"tramp?"

The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the guard's finger, and sure enough, under a big tree in the distance, lay a homeless man with dark clothes and messy hair, whose face could not be seen clearly.

"The town of Ditus is in front, why is this homeless man here?"

The vigilance peculiar to a middle-aged businessman made him not dare to stay any longer, so he said solemnly, "Okay, Emma, ​​let's see, we should go back on our way!"

The middle-aged man took a deep look at the homeless man under the tree in the distance, but he ignored it, and immediately asked the guard to find the girl Emma back, ready to continue on the road.

But at this moment, from the depths of the Maple Leaf Forest, a group of knights with fierce expressions suddenly sprang out. As soon as these knights appeared, they immediately screamed strangely and surrounded the entire convoy.

"No, it's a thief!"

The guard's expression changed drastically, and he immediately loudly ordered the guards to start fighting, but these thieves were extremely fierce, and there were almost three or four hundred people.

Soon, hundreds of guards were killed cleanly, and three men who seemed to be the leaders of this group of thieves came to the middle-aged man with a sneer on the corners of their mouths and said, "After so many days, There is such a small caravan. If you are unlucky, all the men will be killed, the women will be captured, and then the things will be transported back!"

The leader of the thieves gave the order cruelly. Suddenly, the thieves became excited and began to slaughter the unarmed ordinary people.

The young girl Emma and the lady were trembling and hid behind the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man's face also showed a hint of despair.

"Big boss, there is a homeless man in the Maple Leaf Forest."

Suddenly, a thief whispered into the big chief's ear.

"Homeless? Just kill him! You took two people and killed him. Do you need to ask me about such trivial matters?"

The big boss also saw a homeless man leaning under the big tree in the maple leaf forest in the distance, and said with some dissatisfaction.

So, several thieves immediately turned around and rushed towards Maple Leaf Forest. (To be continued..)
