Chapter 18 Tracking

The scene inside Elwynn Forest gives people a very primitive feeling.

There are basically no roads inside the forest. The trees are scattered and closely spaced. The ground is full of tall weeds and spreading branches and vines.

Even if there is an 'animal path', it will soon be overwhelmed by the vitality of weeds.

This situation made the progress of Kewen and the others seem a bit slow.

However, what Galken said was right at the beginning, they were very familiar with the environment of Stormwind Kingdom.

I don't know how familiar they are with other areas, but as far as Kewen is concerned, they really know this "Elwynn Forest" very well.

Because on the way forward, the three of them would often give pointers to Kewen, sometimes pointing in one direction, telling Kewen that that side was the activity area of ​​the ‘Forest Spider’, or that direction was the activity area of ​​the ‘Stonetooth Wild Boar’.

Even where grizzly bears are likely to appear, the three of them gave Kewen clear directions.

So along the way, the team only encountered one wolf attack.

Eight gray wolves suddenly jumped out from the lush grass, but everyone was already on guard.

Natalie rushed forward first, nimbly passing between the two wild wolves.

A pair of daggers drew a stream of light and instantly pierced the necks of the two wild wolves.

Then, she jumped up again, stepped down a leaping wild wolf, and used her strength to jump a second time, grabbing a tree vine hanging in the air, thus avoiding other wild wolves.

attack.

Galken's movements were equally fast. When Natalie jumped up, Galkon roared and charged forward.

During the charge, Galken swung the giant sword in his hands. Even if the sharp weapon did not attack with full force, it still split the gray wolf that was trampled by Natalie into two halves.

Then Galken kept walking, relying on the defensive power of his mail armor, he continued to rush into the middle of the remaining five wolves, and his weapon continued to sweep past them.

With one move, two more wild wolves were killed instantly.

At this moment, Tagel suddenly let out a war cry, causing the remaining three wild wolves who were about to attack Garken to tremble uncontrollably, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Tagel.

Taking this opportunity, Natalie fell from the sky, and Galken swept the weapon again.

Before the remaining three wild wolves came to their senses, the two of them had already coordinated perfectly to kill them.

The whole battle lasted only ten seconds, and all eight wild wolves lost their lives in vain.

After the battle, Natalie squatted down and skinned three wild wolves with intact fur.

As for the other wild wolves, forget it, their furs had already been chopped into pieces by Galken, and they had completely lost their value.

Galken took the opportunity to explain to Coven: "Wolves are beasts that don't have a fixed range of activities. They roam all over the forest, so we don't know how to avoid them."

Kewen nodded to express his understanding, then suddenly raised his hand and waved towards the patch of grass where the wolves rushed out.

The arcane energy instantly covered the area, causing two screams of 'ouch' to be heard from the grass.

The two wild wolf cubs were snatched out of the grass by the 'arcane energy' and hung in the air.

Seeing this, Galken lowered his guard, shook his head and said, "Kewen, let it go."

"Aren't you going to cut the grass and get rid of the root?" Ke Wen asked.

"No need." Galken smiled and said: "They have no value. If they can grow up in this forest, they will just contribute a piece of fur to adventurers in the future."

Kewen nodded and waved the back of his hand, causing the ball of 'arcane energy' to throw the two wild wolf cubs back into the grass.

The frightened cry of 'Aow' quickly faded away. I wonder if the two wolf cubs would run into the territory of other beasts in panic...

Not long after, Natalie finished skinning the wolf skillfully, rolled the three wolf skins together, and stuffed them into the 'space pocket' hanging on her waist.

The team continues on the road.

The ensuing journey was uneventful. In about half an hour, the four of them arrived at the "Fargodi Mine" belonging to "Stormwind City".

The working atmosphere in the mine is very hot. Miners hang oil lamps on their waists and carry mining tools in and out of the mine.

There are some simple sentries around, and some Stormwind City guards are responsible for guarding them.

Galken went directly to a guard and asked if there had been any thefts in the mine in the past two days.

The guard's answer made Galken very excited, because when he was patrolling the mine this morning, mineral theft really happened.

In response, Galken immediately handed the other party a silver coin, and then led Kewen and the others to the edge of the mining area.

"Nana!" Garken grinned: "The next step is up to you! Help us find clues about the kobolds!"

Natalie, already accustomed to her task, nodded silently, and then began to look around.

After nearly half an hour of investigating around the periphery of the mining area, Natalie suddenly rushed forward quickly.

After a few steps, she bent over and squatted on the ground, reaching out and groping lightly on the ground.

"Found it?" Galken asked immediately.

"It depends on luck." Natalie responded without raising her head: "There are kobold footprints here, but no one knows when they were left."

Galken nodded, and then explained to Ke Wen beside him: "The crusade against the 'Kobolds' is just like this. After you find the clues, you bet on your luck. If you are lucky, you will be able to find the Kobolds who have not yet entered the lair."

At this time, Natalie stood up and pointed to the forest on the left: "Look at the direction of the footprints. The 'kobold' left in that direction. Are you chasing him?"

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

Without saying much, Natalie took the lead and the four of them got into the forest together.

After more than ten minutes, the team stopped. Natalie sighed, and while looking at the ground around her, she said: "Unlucky, the clues of the footprints stopped in this gravel area, so everyone is looking around.

See if there are any other traces."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Galken and Tager stepped forward in response, each chose a direction, and bent down to slowly search.

Soon, everyone gathered together and shook their heads in disappointment.

At this time, Ke Wen finally stopped paddling and said aloud: "Let me do it. I just remembered a magic spell that should have some effect."

The others were stunned, and Galken looked like he had recovered what he had lost, and immediately urged. "Hurry up! Come out and take a look!"

Ke Wen nodded, put his hands together in front of his mouth, took a deep breath, and blew out.

The magic energy in the palm of his hand was blown away by Ke Wen, turning into a large mist formed by magic particles, floating and sinking into the ground.

Soon, a shimmer appeared on the ground in the surrounding area, and the magic particles came out of the ground again, rising up to form an illusion.

A team of kobolds appeared in the illusion. Five kobolds carrying shovels stepped across the gravel ground and walked in another direction.

"It's really amazing magic..." Natalie couldn't help but admired, then looked in the direction where the phantom kobold was leaving, and greeted everyone: "Chase!"

"No rush." ​​Ke Wen warned: "I can maintain the magic effect all the time, but accordingly, our speed will also slow down."

"Then slow down a little bit." Galken decided immediately: "Since the traces of the 'Kobold' will never be lost, we don't need to be so anxious."

Natalie nodded in agreement, and then arranged: "Keep the formation, and don't let anything disturb Ke Wen."

"Okay." Galken stepped forward: "I'm in front, Nana, look after Kewen's right side, Tager."

"Understood." Tager took the initiative to walk to Kewen's left side and raised the shield slightly.

The team continues to move forward.

Along the way, Kewen kept the virtual scene formed by the combination of the 'Tracking Spell' and the 'Illusion Spell' at the front of the team, allowing the phantom 'Kobold' to lead the way.

More than half an hour later, the 'Kobold Team' in the illusion disappeared under a hill.

Kewen waved his hand to dispel the illusion, and then the four of them quickened their pace and rushed to the place where the 'kobold' disappeared.

A huge dead tree lay at the foot of the hill.

Natalie quickly discovered the clue. In a position behind the dead tree, there were superfluous piles of branches.

This situation is too obvious, and it is obviously telling others that something is not normal here.

In response, Natalie made several gestures in succession.

Galken and Tager nodded silently, then stepped forward lightly and walked up with weapons in hand.

Listening carefully, no one heard the kobold's voice. Galken walked to the pile of branches and moved the branches aside with his giant sword.

Soon, a very narrow dog hole appeared in front of everyone.

The dog hole was only half a meter wide, which made everyone a little dumbfounded, because no one could stretch out if they got in.

Galken smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice: "What should I do? Should I pour smoke into the hole like catching a rabbit?"

"Kevin?" Natalie asked, "Do you have any other suitable magic?"

Ke Wen nodded and smiled: "No problem, leave it to me."

After speaking, he stepped forward, looked at the dog hole, raised his hands, deliberately recited the "rune" incantation, and released the transformation spell at the entrance of the hole.

With the release of magic, the hole suddenly expanded rapidly, and soon, a sloping downward passage more than two meters wide appeared.

The sight in front of them made Natalie and the three of them extremely excited. Galken praised in a low voice: "Kevin! You are so reliable!"

Ke Wen accepted the compliment with a smile, and then reminded: "Okay, let's go in."

"Tagel." Natalie arranged: "You and I go ahead. Garken's weapons are too big and some of them cannot be used."

"No problem." Tager raised his shield and stepped into the passage first.

Galken walked behind Kewen, and only made a simple torch, which he lit to illuminate for everyone...
