Chapter 48 Support

Elemental Life/Fire Slime

A small monster formed by the accumulation of fire elements scattered in nature.

It has a very basic level of intelligence, but seems to have a wide range of uses. For the Qiuqiu people.

In the wind-swept mountain plains, a dot of blue slowly approaches against the strong wind.

By the light of the water element, Xu Yun could vaguely see the outlines of several human figures.

"There is a group of people approaching here." He retracted his upper body from the basement exit and only peeked out for a short while. A cut of grass on his left cheek was cut by the wind, and there was blood.

As soon as it came out of the wound, it was dried by the strong wind and turned into a bloody scab.

Hiss~hoo, hiss~hoo

Relatively speaking, the wind in the basement is much lighter, and although the air is still oppressive and condensing, it is not as difficult to breathe as outside.

"The phaseless wind is not aimed at us, it is just passing by." Xu Yun took a deep breath and explained.

"We are just small characters. Even if we are discovered, we will simply ignore it." Connor, who was sitting against the wall, laughed self-deprecatingly. His pale face had softened a lot after drinking the healing potion.

"Who is that team you are talking about? In this damn time." William asked.

"Are you sure you saw clearly?" Luke asked eagerly.

"Look clearly, it may be that the instructors are here to look for the teams that have not returned. If other teams return, our team is the only one that has not returned. They should not leave us alone." Xu Yun analyzed.

"The wind was so strong that the torch couldn't burn at all. How did you see clearly?" Ruth

Xu Yun curled his lips: "Elemental brilliance." He just uttered this word and did not explain it further.

"It's the teachers who are here." Everyone looked at each other in surprise, as if they had found support again, even those who were panicking before now calmed down.

"It's not easy to come here in such an environment. I don't know if the phaseless wind will attack the instructors and the others." Jakos lay on the ground with his backpack on his back and said sideways.

"It's okay, Wuxiang Feng went in the direction of Cider Lake and didn't pay attention to the approaching team on the ground. Let's wait for the instructors and others to arrive."

"How about lighting a torch or something to send a signal to the instructors?" Fara suggested.

"Are you sure the torch can be lit?" Lulimala said in a cold voice.

"Timmy, can you do it with your elemental ability, the ability to shine?" Fara turned to Xu Yun.

"Okay. Then I'll give it a try. I hope they won't notice Wuxiang Feng." Xu Yun's lips curled up.

"No!" Ruth and Luke said at the same time.

"If your ability will attract monsters, I suggest you don't use it. The instructors are here to find us. If monsters are attracted, we will not be able to resist it, and the result will only be worse than now." Nan Qi is rare.

speak.

Xu Yun walked down the steps, came to the corner where Huma and Kerry were sitting, and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a deep sense of exhaustion surged out of his body. Although wearing the rose, his health value increased significantly, and the original serious injury was no longer relevant at this time, but the energy and will consumed still could not be replenished.

of.

"That's what I thought too. Let's wait now." He let out a long breath. He couldn't say how much he cared about his teammates in this team, but he already felt tired.

Everyone has their own thoughts and actions. It is simply not like the team of characters who control their own in the game, who can almost perfectly execute every operation command given by the player.

After being injured, those who are weak-willed will want to run away. Even if they can still fight, they will not be able to fully contribute their fighting power.

The most important thing is that they are too weak. Not only their current teammates, but also themselves.

The monster that had easily defeated the first Leyline Flower previously successfully summoned the Life Star, which greatly improved its personal combat power. However, it still seemed so powerless when faced with the weakened version of the Wind Core transformed from the filthy ooze monster.

If he had chosen a different skill after the Gale Core took to the air again, he might not be able to defeat it at all.

Xu Yun knew that the Wind Core had several powerful skills, none of which he could handle now. It didn't even need to launch powerful elemental combat skills, it only used wind pressure bombs to continuously attack the ground.

of my own group.

I'm afraid not many people can survive now.

Maybe you can use the remaining rock element crystal to try to petrify it and control it, but will it still allow the element crystal you throw to hit it?

The Wind Core is not a little monster with basic intelligence like slime.

Winning this battle depends mostly on luck.

This feeling of putting your life in the hands of fate is really annoying.

The howling of the wind never ceased in his ears, and the chaotic air flow poured into the basement, taking away the remaining heat from his body. On this summer night when it should have been difficult to fall asleep due to the high temperature, Xu Yun actually felt a little cold.

He was too mentally exhausted, and his upper eyelids were fighting with his lower eyelids, but he did not dare to close his eyes and sleep. Unknown dangerous moments might come, and he needed to persist until possible support arrived.

About an hour later, the sound of metal boots hitting the ground sounded from above.

"The watchtower has a basement. Let's hide in the basement first. Let's look for them tomorrow when the wind stops." The steady voice passed through the noise of the strong wind tearing the air and passed into the basement.

"God bless me, I hope those children can still hold on until we find them." A female voice responded.

"Don't be too pessimistic, Jessica, maybe they are hiding in a cave? In such a windy night, even if we want to search, we can't."

"Just maintaining the elemental shield has already consumed the captain too much. If he opens the elemental vision again to find someone, he will be overstretched." Another female voice sounded.

"You know I didn't mean it, Ella."

"Okay, hurry in." The first male voice sounded.

Three figures blocked the starlight from the basement entrance, and filed into this small space.

Perhaps because of the darkness in the basement, they did not immediately see the people hiding in the basement, but their fighting instincts still made them realize that there was someone here for the first time.

Qiang~

The long sword was unsheathed, and the bright white blade glowed cold silver in the starlight.

"There is someone." He drew his sword and said quickly as the first man to break into the basement.

"Don't do anything." Jakos spoke first: "We are apprentices in the 337th Preparatory Knight Training Course under Instructor Tiat." He explained quickly.

The other party was obviously relieved and lowered the long sword slightly.

A warm light shone from the hand of a person behind him. It was a purple orb polished by elemental crystals and inlaid on the top of the short staff.

The light returned to the basement again, illuminating the apprentices who were leaning against each other, sitting, lying or standing.

Connor, Xu Yun, and Kerry held swords in their hands and maintained a vigilant posture. The others tried to sit as far back as possible, using luggage and the original wooden boxes and grain bags in the basement to form obstacles.

A strong young shield guard covered with armor stood on the last step, his sword slightly lowered. On the shield made of fine steel was the emblem of the Lion of the South Wind.

Behind him, an elemental mage dressed in a gorgeous, tight-fitting tailed cloth robe and a pointed, wide-brimmed round hat was holding a round shield and a short staff. The warm orange shimmer was emitted by the orb on the top of the staff.

.

Behind the mage, followed a priest wearing a white loose robe, holding a wind god book and a white long staff.

"It seems we don't have to go out to search in the wind, the little guys are here~" the elemental mage said playfully at the end.

The three of them went down the steps and entered the basement completely. Finally, a tall, thin middle-aged man wearing half-armor stepped on the steps and entered.

The basement was not big to begin with. It housed 13 apprentices, but now that four adults had come in, it seemed a little cramped.

"1···2···11···13, everyone is here, this is great." The young shield guard counted the apprentices with his eyes.

"This is probably the best news I have received in the past few days." The man looked happy when he saw the apprentices, but he saw two female apprentices with torn clothes, one lying on the ground and the other curled up.

In the corner, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and a pair of thick and thick eyebrows were squeezed together.

The faces of the two ladies were also ugly.

"It seems that it's not all good news." The priest slapped his long staff on the stone floor.

The atmosphere in the basement became solemn again, and the joy of meeting disappeared in an instant.

Following their gazes, Jakos noticed the problem.

"Please don't be angry, we will give you a reasonable explanation." Xu Yun stepped out, pointing the long sword in his hand at the ground to show that he was not hostile.

Seeing that the person who spoke was a short boy, or rather a child, the four visitors did not feel threatened.

"I will give you a chance to explain, but before that, the second-year team leader should go out first, instead of letting this first-year newcomer stand in the way, if you still have the courage to stand up." The middle-aged man entered the basement.

, with a wave of his hand, a layer of azure water-colored barrier sealed the entrance to the basement, blocking out the strong wind that poured into the basement, and also blocked the way to escape.

"Who is the leader?" He glanced at everyone with a stern look.

Jakos struggled to stand up with his right hand on the wall. He drank the healing potion given by Xu Yun, but the injury could not be recovered immediately, and his right leg and left arm were still unable to be used normally.

"It's me, I'm Jakos, the captain of Jakos team."

Seeing Jakos' body covered in blood and his right leg and left arm moving unnaturally, the middle-aged man's eyes softened.

"I am Kurt, the chief knight of the Knights of the South Wind Lion, who is responsible for searching and rescuing you. Tell me, what have you experienced?"

"Before that, I hope your priest can help heal my companions." Xu Yun stood in front of Jakos and spoke first.

The four subsequent visitors all raised their eyebrows. They didn't expect that this little kid could speak like this under the pressure of so many people.

The courage is worthy of recognition.
