Chapter 109: Convergence and Escape
Shaoko and the mage Roman carefully rushed to another team. Fortunately, the mountain was high but not steep, and there were a lot of trees for them to support.
Master Roman stopped Shaoke's pace and leaned against a tree to take out magic props to check the positions of both sides, then took out the "Ningxue Crystal" to check the surrounding situation.
"I feel that someone is put in front of me. They are coming to us." After checking, Master Roman quickly told Shaoko who was waiting.
"It should be them." Shaoke looked at the red dot on the disc and turned his head to say with some affirmation to the mage Roman. He did not think that the enemy would chase them in such weather and time.
Master Roman put back his magic props, rubbed his little hands that were frozen a little stiff, and then began to chant spells.
A magical language that Shaoko could not understand floated to Shaoko's ears as the female mage chanted. A green ball of light the size of a baby's fist floated between the hands of the mage Roman, and the snowflakes fell around and immediately separated.
Under the command of the female mage, the green light ball exploded quickly, forming hundreds of green lights flying towards the place where she sensed someone.
Shaoke asked in surprise: "Master Roman, why didn't it be mentioned in those books introducing spells?" After saying that, he looked at the green line gradually disappearing in the wind and snow and guessed: "Is it a spell unique to the military?"
The female mage quickly shrank his hand into the robe, nodded heavily and responded: "Yes, a spell that distinguishes identity, they will completely disappear in a while. You can learn after you reach the third level."
Shaoke did not relax because the female mage released the identification spell. He moved his stiff fingers a little and began to gather his spirit to prevent the discovery of unexpected situations.
The two mages did not wait too long, and Shaoke suddenly found a same green line flying out of the woods opposite and hovering around them.
The Roman Mage, who was closing his eyes, suddenly took out a magic prop the size of a gold coin from his arms, and waved towards the green line, and then the green line slowly disappeared. "Okay, it's our people, snowy night, relax."
The mage Roman reached out and pulled Rashoko's robe, and the two of them were waiting slowly here.
"Master Roman?" After a while, several figures of support appeared in the woods opposite. A hoarse male voice revealed the identity of the female mage.
Shaoke looked at the black shadows and found a pair of green light spots floating in front of them. When they approached, Shaoke discovered that it was a green light that appeared in the eyes of a mage. The green three-pointed star slowly turned in the other party's eyes. The other party just glanced at Shaoke, which made him feel as if he had been seen through.
It took nearly a day for the two teams to come together. The other team was composed of two third-level mages and several second-level mages, with five or six warriors following them. Shaoke also found three other mages who were separated from them in the morning. After escaping from death, the mages could not help but greet each other and asked about what happened to each other.
After a little discussion with the other two third-level mages, Romain decided to camp in the woods. Fortunately, there were several warriors who cut down a large number of branches and built a short but solid wooden shed between the adjacent trees.
In this case, the temporary residence built cannot force anything. At least Shaoke believes that it can cover the wind and snow. As for the elegance of the mages, it should be temporarily abandoned! If you can't even protect your life, why force other issues?
The mage Roman and two other third-level male mages carefully arranged the warning array outside, and then everyone was relieved to hide in this short and simple temporary residence and hurriedly ate some small food, and then they rested early.
Since there was not enough animal skin to cover and keep warm, the mages had to use the few animal skins for Master Roman and several other female mages. Shaoko squeezed together with other mages to keep the temperature alive.
After escaping for a long time, Shaoke felt not only very tired in his body, but also felt a headache after he relaxed his energy. He didn't know if the other mages were asleep, but the headaches made him unable to fall asleep peacefully.
Enduring the cold wind pouring in from the gap, Shaoko tried to enter the meditation space again and again, hoping to stop the pain through meditation.
After several attempts, Shaoke got his wish and entered the meditation space.
As soon as he entered the spiritual space, Shaoke found that the light spots representing mental power were very active and wandering rapidly in the air, jumping, and the silver light on the diamond-shaped magic circle continued to explode into thin silver streams, scattered in the spiritual space and slowly disappeared. However, Shaoke felt that the spiritual space, which was already twice as big as ordinary mages of the same level, gradually expanded after the silver light merged into it, although the expansion speed was very slow.
Shaoke forcibly suppressed the fear that came to his heart and comforted himself, "Look! The adventure has come. Haven't you been looking forward to the adventure to improve your strength? Haha! If you expand your mental power a little more, then after I get promoted, will I catch up with the mental power of ordinary fourth-level mages? You must seize this opportunity!"
He randomly used the adventures he knew from various channels in his previous life to comfort himself, hoping to use this to dispel his fear. Later, Shaoke observed the magic space and found that the situation here was not much different from the spiritual space, but it was just that it was a little faster in expansion.
After another examination, there was no other change. Shaoke carefully took out the medicine from the skin to quickly recover his energy and took it. After taking one bitter medicine after another, he immediately felt that the headache had been reduced a little, but the pain made him feel uncomfortable.
After trying to outline the advanced meditation array, without being affected by the much active mental power and magic power, Shaoke used meditation to restore the energy consumed for today's escape.
After several meditations, Shaoke would not take medicine to quickly recover his energy due to severe headaches. After repeated several times, the resting mages would wake up according to their past habits.
Or after a night of rest, most of the fatigue of the mages disappeared. After hurriedly swallowing a few small pieces of meat, the warriors on the outer layer carefully moved the branches that blocked the wind and snow aside. Then the mages came out one after another.
The wind and snow outside were still not stopping. The howling cold wind carrier's snowflake hit Shaoke's face, which made him feel a burst of pain. When he wanted to cover his head with his cloak, he found that the black cloak was still wearing the female mage Roman!
"Master Roman, how are you?" Shaoke saw that the mage Roman walked out of the simple residence stiffly. The cold wind blew, so she had to tighten her cloak tightly and try her best to prevent the invasion of the cold wind and snowflakes.
"It's okay." Master Roman licked his chapped lips, and hurriedly answered Shaoko's concern, then lowered his head slightly to avoid the wind and snow coming towards him.
A male mage took out the magic disc, checked the situation above, and then said to another mage and Roman mage: "We must speed up. Several teams behind us yesterday had disappeared this morning, and they had begun to chase after him." As he said that, he looked at the other two third-level mages, waiting for their decision.
The female mage Roman walked a few steps to the side, took out her magic disc to check the information the other party said. Then he nodded to the male mage who made his opinion, as if he agreed to the other party's decision. Then he pointed to the weather conditions and said to the mage: "I hope we can turn over smoothly today. I think the wind and snow on that side will be much smaller."
Another male mage who called out the name of Master Roman yesterday grinned, "I think there is no problem. Even if there is an interception team, I think so many of us will be able to solve them easily. They would not have thought that we could gather so many mages." After that, he tried hard to face the wind and snow to show his unique arrogance. Unfortunately, a touch of unwashed mud on his face reduced this image a little.
Several female mages, including Romain, set out toward the top of the mountain again with the help of those strong warriors.
Shaoke followed closely behind the mage Roman to prevent the warrior from causing accidents on the way up the mountain, causing damage to the mage Roman.
The mages spoke all the way, at least Shaoke couldn't hear whether the former technicians were talking in the cold wind. But he closed his mouth tightly to prevent the cold wind and snow from pouring in.
Although the female mages were supported by the soldiers, after climbing a distance under the increasing wind and snow, the fatigue that had not been eliminated yesterday suddenly swept up, and they hung their whole bodies on the soldiers who were supporting them.
Shaoke observed the pace of these soldiers a little, then accelerated a few steps and caught up with the warrior who supported Romain, and suggested to him the way he had just thought of to increase the speed of progress.
The soldier turned his head and looked at Shaoko, then nodded and shouted loudly: "Don't worry! No problem, I'll tell them." After the soldier said that, he signaled Shaoko to support the mage Roman, and then quickly rushed to the soldiers in front to inform them of this method. He hoped that his companions could accept Shaoko's suggestions like him, because that would greatly speed up their speed.
Master Roman grabbed Shaoko's arm tightly with one hand, put his head in Shaoko's ear and shouted, "Can't you support me?" After shouting, he looked forward with guilt, and gasped, "Just like yesterday, we should be able to do it."
Shaoke twisted his head slightly, "No, then our speed will slow down a lot. I don't want to be caught up by the enemy because of our drag." Shaoke quickly expressed his concerns.
"No, I think the team they are chasing will not move faster." The female mage pointed at the figure in front of her, then shouted in a hoarse voice: "They will be the same as we are now."
Shaoke rolled his eyes secretly. He didn't believe that the enemy would send weak mages to chase them in this weather and terrain. He felt that the professions such as the archer, lurker, hunter, etc. who were previously restricted by the rules would quickly climb this mountain and start a fierce pursuit of them.
