Chapter 18 Hunting
The atmosphere of this team was quite active due to the arrival of the young doctors. From time to time, bursts of cheerful laughter were made. The scouts who were exploring the way forward ran back from time to time to report some discoveries to the captain for reasonable choices. The two mages interjected a few words from time to time and talked to the doctor, which seemed very harmonious and relaxed. Shaoke still did not make any sound as usual. He did not want to discuss those meaningless words with people, but in the eyes of the soldiers, Shaoke's behavior was easy to understand, because in the past, Shaoke did not speak long in this team, and did not interfere with the captain's decisions, because he knew that he was not the material, even though he had read so many theoretical books.
Shaoke paid attention to the surrounding environment from time to time on the road and slowly outlined the route of the marching in his mind, so that after he arrived at a place that his predecessors had not recorded, he went back and added it to the map. This task was quite boring and tasteless. Many magists on the border no longer did it now. One was not necessary, and the other was to consume a lot of energy, making the weak wizards more easily tired.
After Shaoke felt that he had performed more than three magical things, he heard a soldier report to the captain that he had found a monster in front. After the captain waved his hand, he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, be careful. There were monsters in front, and they were still a group of mud pigs, but they were much bigger than the group yesterday, with more than fifty heads, almost one person could be assigned one, cheer up, prepare weapons, be careful, don't disturb them, this time we are getting closer and attacking."
After saying that, the captain signaled to Shaoke and the others and began to prepare for the battle. Under the leadership of the captain, the soldiers carefully stopped talking and slowly touched the target ahead.
Shaoke and the other two mages also tightened the staff in their hands and followed the soldiers forward. Shaoke looked at the excited mage of Jiya and the slightly uneasy mage, and couldn't help but feel a headache: "A full of impulse, the other was too timid and too depressed. After I only experienced the actual combat once, I mastered the basic issues that I needed to pay attention to as a combat mage, and did not make any money? What was the difficulty for the mage, Loki and others? Why did it be my turn to come to these two companions?"
"Master Kia, don't be impulsive, be calmer. You can only take action after there will be prey that will miss the net, because your magic and mental power cannot support you in releasing too many spells. What I said is: the zero-level spell you mastered." "Master Iga, have you forgotten what you decided last night? Take the courage, look! Doctor Ino is not nervous yet! After the soldiers cast their javelins, you will also attack. So many monsters will easily hit the target, and you don't need too much mental guidance. Don't worry, Master Kia and I are by your side!"
After comforting the two companions, the team had already completed the sparse semi-encirclement mission of this group of prey. As long as you hear the captain's attack order, a series of blows will kill all the low-level monsters.
The group of mud pigs did not detect the arrival of the sneak attacker in time, and were surrounded by the enemy. They were still playing in the open space beside the tree roots, looking for food to fill their stomachs.
The captain of the "Occurrence" suddenly shouted loudly, and pointed his target hard at his target and threw the javelin. The soldiers also threw their javelins and hand axes. They cooperated tacitly and sniped the careless pigs. The remaining mud pigs made waves of howling and began to gather together, intending to concentrate their strength to rush out.
At this time, with the encouragement of Shaoko and Mage Chia, Mage Yiga nervously recited the spell. The wand in her hand combined with the handprints to draw mysterious patterns: "Magic Missiles". Mage Yiga successfully released the most skilled spell with his envious look on his face, and locked the group of panicked and planned to escape. The strongest mud pig among the monsters was only a hundred meters away. The silver-white missile hit the target hard. With a "boom", the mud pig was blown into pieces of rotten meat under the power of the spell, becoming the first sacrifice of the young mage, and it would not be the last one.
The battle ended very quickly. Although Shaoko did not take action at once, Mage Kia still used spells to kill several strong monsters and gave these soldiers the maximum support. Mage Yijia finally released two spells that he often practiced. It seemed that there was no question.
The remaining mud pigs were killed one by one by the soldiers with bows and arrows. The undead cubs kept howling, arching their parents' bodies with their mouths, waking them up with their hopes and taking them out of this dangerous place. The soldiers would not pity these cubs. These cubs who lost their parents and tribes have basically no chance of survival in this snowy and ice, unless they are lucky enough to meet a passing group and decide to take them in.
The soldiers would not give up these delicacies. They carried strong cubs and killed them, put them in their carry-on skins, intending to make lunch food. After all, no one wanted to eat the crude dry food and salty beans. Since this operation would not be done until the evening, the soldiers were afraid that they would encounter monsters in the afternoon, so they gave up the trophy that was of low value. At the strong request of the doctor, none of the white fangs were discarded.
After packing up the spoils, the captain drew a long arc to rush towards the camp according to the route that had been decided long ago. He forced the soldiers to give up some heavy spoils that were not suitable for carrying, because they did not need to return to the camp. Even if the soldiers complained about anything, the order was still executed seriously.
The two mages who cast spells, while everyone was collecting the spoils, were busy regaining their consumed mental and magical power. As we mentioned earlier, mages need to ensure sufficient spirit and magic to cast spells at any time, so as not to be helpless at that time.
The two mages recovered relatively quickly, but the soldiers still waited for a while. Shaoke took them to apologize to the captain, but the captain also thanked them, because without the mage's powerful attack, it would be impossible to say that those strong mud pigs would hurt some careless soldiers.
Dr. Ino also came up to congratulate me. He said to Master Iga three times: "Dear Master Iga, your magic power is so powerful. Such a big monster will make you explode in one go. Even those white fangs are gone. Master Kia has at least retained a layer of skeleton!" But Master Iga, who was too excited, did not hear it in his heart, muttering in a low voice like "Success, success."
In the disguised complaints that Dr. Ino dared not speak out and was disguised, the soldiers with high morale began a new trip. Master Kia signaled the young doctor to leave for the time being, and they had something to say.
Seeing that Dr. Ino left some, Master Yijia's uncontrollable excitement made him speak loudly: "I succeeded, really succeeded, Master Xueye, this time I released three spells, each time I succeeded, and hit the target. These are all thanks to your help. If it weren't for your previous encouragement, I probably wouldn't have been able to successfully release the spells. I can also release accurate spells in the battle." After being recognized by the other two mages, Master Yijia looked even more excited.
"Yes, Master Iga, you have succeeded, and Master Kia. I believe that you have successfully transferred to the battle mage now. Although it has just begun, I am still happy for you." Shaoko said to the two mages and added another layer of good news to them.
"Fighting Mage?" Master Kia asked with confusion: "This is the first time I heard of it. Fighting Mage, how could Master Yijia and I become Fighting Mage? We have not gone through any ritual of transfer!"
"'Combat Mage' is the name of some mages who have been fighting against various enemies for a long time. It has been circulated for a long time. The specific time cannot be verified. They are different from those mages who have been doing research in laboratories and magic towers for a long time. The latter is relatively called 'scholar mage'. Moreover, 'combat Mage' does not need to need a transfer ceremony like those special mages who have transferred their posts. As long as they have a long battle and have all kinds of experience against the enemy, they will be considered to have officially become 'combat Mage'. Now you, including me, are just mages who have just successfully transferred their posts. To become a real 'combat Mage', it takes too much battle."
Shaoko put down his constant worries this time, answered the questions of Kia's mage easily, and tried to explain them in detail: "Generally speaking, if a 'combat mage' and a 'scholar mage' conflict and lead to a battle, the former is often the one who wins, unless the latter is one level higher than the former, or has any special spells."
"Mage Xueye is right. I have also heard of the special title of "Fighting Mage". It is said that some combat mages can challenge more than level! They will emit a cold breath. I heard from the elders that it will only appear if they kill too much. Oh my God! How many people do you think they kill! Even killing monsters requires a lot!" Master Yijia said with a look of understanding, "I think Mage Xueye does not have that kind of cold feeling."
"Well! Yes, Master Kia, these things are actually recorded in the book. If you are interested, you can read them if you have time. I have this book in the hut. I will read it for you after I go back." Shaoke told Master Kia, who was still a little confused about what he heard, and would help him.
Master Kiya thanked Shaoko happily and said that he would definitely borrow it from him.
Master Yijia suddenly said, "I remember that the book I read before was recorded in the mainland chronicle about a million years ago, which is much more detailed than that recorded in ordinary books."
"Master Yijia, you also like to read those boring 'Continental Chronicles'? I really admire it. I only read it casually when I check the information." Shaoke looked at the other party with a look of surprise. He really didn't expect that there are still mages who specialize in reading the chronicles hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago.
"Yes, Master Xueye, I'm just relatively speaking. Apart from my favorite reading of those long-standing history, I'm not so proficient in the rest." Master Yijia lowered his head shyly, and after waiting, he raised his head again, but he didn't dare to look in Shaoke's direction, but he just stared at the backs of the soldiers in front of him and rushed forward.
