Then, unexpectedly, the two of them did not end their trip. As for Ina, who had just tried her hand at it, it was difficult for her to stop after one harvest, even if it was a good one.
As for Lake, he naturally had no objections. Since he could ask, he had no intention of taking it back. Besides, it was still early in the morning, and he also wanted Ina to learn more. Indeed, Ina has become an adventurer he recognized. , but as an adventurer who hunts monsters, she has a lot to learn.
For example: accept it as soon as possible.
Although she is a bit boastful, now that she is here, she is obviously safer than Ina hunting alone.
Ina changed her nervousness and caution at the beginning and gave up looking for prey by strengthening her vision and carefully observing the traces left by prey on the snow.
It is very convenient to use the magic eye instead - but it consumes far more magic power than before. In addition, it needs to control a third-level magic, and physical strengthening is no longer efficient.
Obviously, hunting would not always go smoothly. In the next three hours, the two of them gained nothing except two snowshoe hares.
"Uncle, are you always like this?" Ina closed her magic eyes, covered her stinging eyes with her hands, and squandered her magic power wantonly. She was not without consideration. Seven times was enough to drain the magic power of a magician of the same level. Only a small part of it was consumed on her.
Compared to the magic power, the parts of the body that had been exposed to spells of the same level many times were a little overwhelmed.
She turned around, only to find that Reike's indifferent expression had disappeared at some point. He frowned slightly and put his hand on the hilt of the sword:
"It's not uncommon to hunt without finding anything, but this time... it's a bit strange."
"A bit strange?" Ina was a little confused. She subconsciously looked around at the white snow and trees that were the same as when she came. Because at the end of winter, the temperature had risen to several degrees below zero. If you looked carefully, you could even see the white snow and trees in the white snow. There is a lot of greenery popping up.
But in the eyes of Ina, who witnessed this scene for the first time, everything was normal.
Even if there was something really strange, she wouldn't be able to tell...
"Although it is the end of winter, it is actually March now...even if the temperature is not very suitable yet, migration should begin." Lake tried to use Ina's knowledge to explain the anomalies he had discovered in the past few hours. .
"But now, the monsters, beasts and even creatures we encounter are unusually rare."
Restricted areas and boundaries are by no means naturally divided into living areas for monsters and beasts. They are divided by information collected by adventurers and hunters, and by humans themselves, based on the density and strength of monsters.
Among them, Warcraft will also migrate with the wild beasts to ensure ample food.
Wild beasts will appear in large numbers in the restricted area, and monsters will also appear outside the restricted area.
It's okay to say that the small number of monsters are difficult to encounter, but the number of wild animals that have dropped sharply during the same period is obviously out of the normal range.
Lake drew the long sword from its scabbard.
After all, he is an adventurer who has been working for nearly ten years. His mature experience and daily accumulation of information and knowledge are enough for him to guess all the weird things in advance.
This border area - has a new owner.
"Ina! Prepare your shield and sword!" Lake's sudden stern tone stunned the girl, and he himself walked to Ina's side to prevent any unexpected events.
"This is a big guy, and you can't handle it. Don't interfere!"
Ina was a little confused, but she had never violated Lake's wishes, and from Lake's serious and cautious expression, she could sense the seriousness of the matter.
After a brief daze, he quickly completed the chanting of the shield technique.
Reik held the sword to his right shoulder with both hands, pointing the sword tip to the sky, facing the direction of the evil he felt, and made the starting hand gesture of the swordsmanship of the Kingdom Knight.
This was the most serious moment in his journey.
In the nature of natural selection, the replacement of territorial owners in various areas of the Warcraft Forest is nothing new. The law of the jungle is the law of the beasts in the wilderness.
But normality shouldn't be now, when migration has not yet ended and the forest is seriously lacking in food.
Lake's hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten. There was only one possibility left.
This one is definitely not a "newcomer" competing for the territory, but a powerful monster that is expanding its own territory!
At this moment, a red-orange light lit up a hundred meters away, and a fireball the size of a bathroom sink exploded, blowing away the snow on the ground, smashing the tree trunks and plants in front of it, and rushed towards the two of them!
