    Chapter 141: Searching in the dense forest, the upcoming battle

    If the environment the two of them were in was not a forest at the moment, the battle would have already begun.  The surrounding dense trees and half-human-high bushes greatly hindered their sight, making it correspondingly more difficult to find each other's location.

    Xol is a powerful druid, that's true.  According to legend, druids are the darlings of nature. When they are in the forest, the entire forest will become his eyesight.  However, only they themselves know best that this sentence cannot be understood literally.  Except for the pre-arranged magic sensors and some prepared natural magic, they are no more familiar with the forest than the experienced jungle rangers.

    And now, Kesol does not dare to take the cunning young magician lightly again.  Three of his team members have already paid a heavy price - their precious lives.  The other party is a magician, and no one knows whether the arcane magic mastered by that person has a detection method that is more effective than his own natural magic.  Years of rich experience in spell combat have brought strong self-confidence to Kesol, but he is still cautious at the moment, because all spellcasters who have participated in life and death battles understand that the victory or defeat between them is often only determined by  In an instant.

    Walking cautiously through the dense shrubs, successfully hiding his figure with the help of the complex surrounding environment, Kesol carefully observed any slight movement around him.  The failure of the previous detection magic had made him vaguely aware that the other party seemed to have a unique method that could affect, interfere with or even block this long-distance detection magic to a certain extent.  He was not particularly surprised by this, but he could not help but secretly increase the threat of the opponent a bit in his heart.

    "Fortunately, this is a forest." Kesol felt a little bit lucky in his heart. "When it comes to tracking and sneaking, there is no way that boy at such a young age can be more proficient than me. If he didn't have this skill,  There are a lot of opportunities to practice, and if you just rely on yourself to work behind closed doors and dream about it, you will only get half the result with half the effort, and it will be useless no matter how smart you are."

    I have to admit that Kesol, who has rich practical experience, does know a lot about adventurous combat.  If Sebastian is really just an academic mage who grew up in the Master's Tower as he thought, he may really be about to encounter the biggest crisis in his life tonight.

    Hundreds of meters away, Sebastian walked with light steps in the dark dense forest.  The young man's gestures were as elegant and calm as ever. This indifference was based on his powerful self-confidence and had already been deeply engraved in the depths of his soul.  For Sebastian, maintaining oneself at all times and not being disturbed by external objects is just the most basic requirement in the practice of a manifester.  The current kind of battle could not be called a fierce battle. In fact, it was not something he could see at all.

    The tendrils of thinking spread out in all directions, and the power of the soul temporarily replaced the responsibility of the senses. Even if Sebastian did not actually "see" it, he could still "know" it.  This is a purely spiritual effect. For ordinary people, even if it is explained to them in detail, it is difficult for them to imagine it.

    Suddenly, the young man stopped and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

    In the unique senses deep in his soul, about forty meters to the northwest, a group of extremely vivid and eye-catching thoughts lit up like a torch in the dark night, invading his sensing range.  That thought was filled with anger, hostility, murderous intent and more entangled malice.

    "In the depths of the remote forest at this late night, if such thoughts do not belong to the enemy I have never met, who else could it be?"

    With one wrong step, Sebastian took a step and hid behind a tree beside him, chanting a mysterious mantra in a low voice.  The deliberately suppressed sound was blown away by the night wind before it traveled very far, and merged into the rustling of the dense leaves overhead.  A faint magical light suddenly lit up, and then disappeared without a trace. The skills Sebastian had mastered were enough to allow him to return to his original nature to the greatest extent deliberately, unlike some apprentices who loved to show off.  Make yourself visible like a shining torch.

    On the battlefield, the more eye-catching a guy is, the sooner he will die.  Even in the eternal bloody battle in the lower world, there are not many exceptions.

    The group of hostile thoughts was getting closer and closer. Sebastian pulled out the dagger from his belt and carved a few words on the tree trunk. After silently calculating the time in his mind, he suddenly disappeared without warning.  In a silver light.

    Perhaps it was the kind silver light that attracted the attention of the group of thoughts not far away. After a few breaths, a brown-black wolverine sprang out of the bushes and moved behind the tree. Not long before Sebastian disappeared  PlaceBeside where he was standing, he twitched his nose and sniffed hard.

    The wolverine is a solitary animal that lives day and night.  This animal has a very sensitive sense of smell, is as cruel as a wolf, and has a body shape like a badger. From a distance, it looks like a small brown bear.  But now, after sniffing wildly for a while, this wolverine became very confused.  The target of tracking should obviously be here, but why does it seem to suddenly disappear?  The wolverine's not-so-smart mind obviously couldn't understand such an answer, and as a result, it quickly became a little violent and began to vigorously dig at the roots of the tree trunk.

    The bushes behind the tree shook again, and Kesol, wearing a priest's robe, came out after the wolverine who had been charmed by him.

    Neither the boy nor he lit up bright torches or used light spells with similar effects, because they both knew that doing so would simply put themselves in the opponent's target position.  In this pitch-black night, Kesol's blue was almost no different from black. Although it might just be an unexpected surprise, it gave him an excellent protective color to a great extent.

    Without any intention of despising his opponent, Kesol even took out the long-lost armor from his dimensional bag and put it on one by one.  Several weapons from his early years were carefully hung on his belt and adjusted to the most convenient position.

    Compared with magicians, the process of druids synchronizing nature to obtain divine magic is relatively simple, and they do not need to spend a lot of time studying ancient books higher than the hills.  And due to long-term contact with nature, their bodies naturally become stronger.  Although it is naturally lacking compared to the professional warriors who have been trained for a long time, compared to ordinary people, it is enough to be enviable.  With excellent hardware, as long as you spend some time and practice, a qualified Bard's melee combat ability will not be much worse than that of the kingdom's elite knights.  Of course, if a battle really breaks out, the numerous natural magics will not be enough for you. As long as you use a few auxiliary magics at will, the outcome of the fight will probably not be in any doubt.

    But what's interesting is that, for unknown reasons, once they wear armor and weapons made of metal, the druids will inexplicably temporarily lose all spellcasting abilities until they give up these metal products and spend a whole day  Only when time synchronizes with nature again can we recover.  Even the Archdruid, who is almost semi-elemental, cannot escape the constraints of this strange rule.  After spending countless centuries of research and experimentation, the druids still could not find the answer to the problem. Having no choice but to give up, they could only deceive themselves and declare the absurd conclusion of "natural magic and metal insulation".

    No matter what the truth is, it is common knowledge that druids cannot simply use any metal weapons and armor.  But you still need to defend when it's time to defend. The protection provided by light armor such as cloth armor, leather armor, and leather armor is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory in many cases.

    After a long period of search and cultivation, the druids finally developed a magical tree and named it "Diamond Wood" according to the tree's characteristics.  After simple alchemical treatment, the hardness and toughness of mature Adamantium wood is no less than that of the best steel on the market. At the same time, it does not lose its advantage as wood - it is light, whether it is carved into armor or crafted into weapons.  It is an excellent choice of material.  It's just that things are rare and expensive, and the price of finished diamond wood products processed by this process is even more expensive than those exquisite products made by armor masters and weapon craftsmen.  Of course, as spellcasters standing at the top of the pyramid, it is naturally impossible for the druids to lack such a small amount of money.

    ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? All the equipment that Kesol wears is made of diamond wood, but for him, the preciousness of these equipments does not lie in the price, but in the memories of his youth.  In terms of price alone, the few magic items on his body are the key to winning the battle that is about to begin tonight.

    "Okay, little guy, be quiet and don't attract the enemy." Under the effect of magic, Kesol communicated with the angry wolverine without any hindrance, "Huh? You said he was here, and then  No more? This is impossible."

    "I didn't feel any traces of magic, no invisibility no illusions and no transformation Heck, he couldn't have climbed a tree to hide" I heard the report from Wolverine  After that, Kesol became a little uneasy and looked around unconsciously, "That's impossible. The wolverine's sense of smell has been specially enhanced by me. As long as there are creatures nearby, it is absolutely impossible to hide them. Hey,  Wait, what is that?¡±

    The words carved on the tree trunk caught Kesol's attention, but as an experienced man, he immediately became extremely cautious and did not immediately go forward to check.

    Use magic again and againAfter confirming that those words were not cleverly arranged exploding rune traps, but simple words, Kesol carefully approached the tree trunk and looked at it carefully in the dim moonlight.

    The next second, the distinguished Bard, who saw the content clearly, couldn't help but snorted coldly, and secretly cursed "arrogant" in his heart.

    It turns out that there is an eye-catching letter carved on this tree trunk.
