"Here is the fat man...no, elder...no, is that the doctor?"
"Meow!"
"Then here are the fat men...and the elders?"
"Meow!"
"The fat man is with the elder?"
"Meow!"
The black cat tail swung under the robe. Zheng Qing stood up and looked back at Jiang Yu: "That's the general situation... What do you think? Which way should we go first?"
Jiang Yu frowned and looked at the two dog paw prints on the simple map. The cat ears in his hair subconsciously pulled to both sides, with a troubled expression on his face.
Because neither Xiao Xiao, nor Fatty, nor Zhang Jixin are close to their location. If they are allowed to gather in the Enchanted Forest, they will definitely spend a lot of time on the way.
"Let's make peace with the doctor as the center."
The witch finally gave her own suggestion and raised her index finger: "First of all, the distance between the three of us is about the same, but from our point of view, most of the places where the doctor is located are within the observable range, and the danger is controllable.
The elder and the fat man are in a mountainous area that we cannot observe for the time being."
"Neither the forest nor the mountainous area is the best choice for gathering." Zheng Qing nodded, agreeing with the witch's point of view.
Jiang Yu raised his second finger and continued his analysis: "Secondly, according to the information provided by Maodou, the doctor is currently one person, and we are both two people. Relatively speaking, no matter the two of us, or the fat man and the elder, along the way
They are safer and can withstand the risks of long-distance travel.”
"Third, we are not safe here." Zheng Qing glanced at the dead rat on the ground with blood still pouring from its neck, and then looked back at the dark oak forest: "...Intuition tells me that in that forest
It's a bit dangerous. It's not safe for us to stay here for too long."
Jiang Yu also looked back at the oak forest.
There were far fewer figures with brown outlines and greasy fur, but the flapping sounds coming from the forest were becoming more and more intensive. This was not a good sign.
The witch looked away.
"In addition, in the process of getting closer to the doctor, the four of us were able to collect four people's information for the doctor's divination." Jiang Yu mentioned the last point, which Zheng Qing did not consider: "In a strange world, any information
They are all very important divination elements... If we let the three of them come closer to us, we can only collect information for three people."
Divination is the main way for a hunting team to gain the initiative in a strange hunting ground. After hearing this, Zheng Qing finally made up his mind.
"Go back now and tell the fat man and the elders to start moving in the direction of the doctor." The young public-funded student squatted in front of Maodou, put one hand on Gouzi's head, and said to him seriously:
"Leave a clone to guide us...the rest of the main energy is focused on the doctor and ensuring his safety before the hunting team gathers. Do you understand?"
The dog held its head high, wagged its tail, and meowed.
Another 'Edamame' suddenly rose from its body, jumped into the void, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. The figure of the dog that remained in place became a bit illusory, and its eyes became much duller.
Zheng Qing patted its head comfortingly.
The dog wagged its tail habitually and purred comfortably in its throat.
During this process, Jiang Yu had already begun to pack up the various magic utensils, materials and books that the two of them had placed in the protective circle.
Zheng Qing helped clean up the embers after the magic test, put them into a glass jar with a small copper shovel, and then stuffed them into a gray cloth bag. For a skilled diviner, many details can be inferred from these traces.
Experienced hunting teams will leave as few traces as possible during the hunt.
When Jiang Yu was about to put away the jade buttons and disarm the protective circle, Zheng Qing stopped her.
"I have a bad feeling," he stopped the witch and looked uneasily into the depths of the oak forest, where the creatures with greasy fur and brown outlines were always hiding there: "...I think we should be more cautious.
A little. I mean, if we leave in front of their eyes, we will definitely not be able to escape their tracking."
"Are you going to set a trap for them?" The witch followed Zheng Qing's gaze and looked at the oak forest, biting her lip: "With this magic circle, we can't delay it for too long. The intuition of magical creatures is very powerful."
"It doesn't take long, just get rid of their tracking." Zheng Qing took out a stack of explosive charms and two phantom charms from the gray cloth bag, waved them in front of the witch, and said with a smile: "...let them stare at the two
Just be a shadow in a daze. The question now is, how do we leave here quietly."
Jiang Yu took out a silver-white cloak from her bag.
"It's lucky. Normally I wouldn't bring it with me." She shook off the cloak and said in a brisk tone, "This way we can sneak away from them quietly."
After the cloak was shaken off, the silvery white on the surface quickly faded and became transparent. The witch's figure was covered by the cloak, leaving only her upper body outside.
This is an invisibility cloak.
Zheng Qing touched the material of the cloak in surprise. It was as smooth as flowing water. The light fell on the cloak without encountering any resistance. It penetrated easily and completely transmitted the scenery behind the cloak to the front.
"That's great... I originally wanted to ask you if there is any similar invisibility spell recorded in your Dharma book." He unabashedly praised the reliability of this invisibility cloak, and at the same time quickly threw away the fingers stuffed in the gray cloth bag.
The two invisibility charms he was about to take out were replaced with two cloud-sliding charms.
"This cloak is big enough to hold the two of us." The witch opened her arms and happily gestured at the height and posture of the two of them.
Zheng Qing had no doubt about this.
…
…
Outside the magic circle, in the oak forest.
More and more Zugo came from the depths of the enchanted forest, hiding in the dim shadows of the oak trees, sipping sap drinks and staring at the big mushroom-like barrier in a daze.
In the enchantment, two strange wizards have been doing strange experiments - the wizard took a bunch of runes full of bright red runes in his hand and buried them everywhere in the enchantment, while the witch kept asking a
Pour various potions of different colors into the glass and stir vigorously with a glass rod.
Milky white mist slowly emerged from the glass, settled downward, flowed around, hit the edge of the barrier and rolled back. The mist gradually accumulated, from the strange wizard's ankles, to their knees, to their chests
, until they are completely submerged.
A flurry of flapping sounds echoed through the oak forest.
The Zugels discovered that they could no longer see the two strange wizards. Although their reason told them that the two wizards must still be in the barrier, their intuition made them feel uneasy.
The oldest Zuko patted his chest with his skinny paws, and instructed the younger and stronger Zuko to get closer to see if they could see clearly what the two wizards in the barrier were doing.
