After entering the wilderness of the Forbidden Land, Tang Shidao slowly realized that he wasn't of much use. He was completely a bystander. Activating the Eagle Eye Halo's Magic Detection Vision was of great help to the group, but after that, there was nothing for him to do. Experience, physique, combat strength, he was at the bottom in all aspects. Poison Master Wolf was slightly weaker than him, but he had a lot of experience.
During the rest of the night.
Tiger Shadow and Elephant-face would wake up from their closed eyes every once in a while. One or two people would work together to rush to the surrounding places where there were sounds of rocks, iron pieces colliding, or cries of pain, chasing after the prey that had stepped on the traps.
In the rocky areas, they didn't set up killing traps.
Tang Shidao saw them hang some small iron pieces, pile up some small piles of rocks, or place sharpened wooden spikes in some key places. Poison Master Wolf wasn't idle either. He found some grass leaves, dripped two drops of different potions, and then placed them in some places that were sheltered from the wind and had to be passed through. One could imagine that as long as a creature accidentally touched it, two drops of similar potions would mix into one drop, and there would definitely be a combination reaction, emitting a strong smell.
Not to mention such a big person.
Even if a snake or rat crawled over and touched the leaf, the two drops of different potions would mix together and emit a warning.
It was hard to say if Tiger Shadow and Elephant-face could smell it, but Poison Master Wolf himself could definitely smell it.
Half of the night had passed.
Tang Shidao had already counted twenty-six attacks in his mind. There were no large groups, all of them were small groups of three or five. Tiger Shadow and Elephant-face weren't injured either. It seemed that this was just harassment, not a real attack.
Originally.
This kind of annoying attack could cause a mental breakdown even if it was ineffective.
However.
There was no magic cast in the Forbidden Land, and the exotic beasts obviously didn't understand the existence of mages. Half of the night, twenty-six attacks, and Tang Shidao fell asleep twenty-seven times. Unless Tiger Shadow and Elephant-face made a move, there was no need to open his eyes at all. It was impossible for void monsters to harass mages, especially someone like Tang Shidao who had even mastered advanced meditation techniques.
In a general sense.
A mage's mind was definitely extremely strong. Some people didn't need to resist, their own will could resist hypnosis, fear, charm, and other effects.
Ordinary people might be afraid of darkness, silence, death, blood, and so on.
Mages had no such fear.
Not to mention corpses and dark spaces, even if a ghost jumped out, the mage would not tremble at all. Because skeletons, zombies, ghosts, terrifying armors, death zones, blood pools of vampires, corpse hybrids, monstrous trolls, maggots, blood rain canopy, and so on and so forth. Everything that you could imagine, to a mage, was nothing but … leftovers!
For a mage, a small matter like mental disturbance was nothing compared to the buzzing of a mosquito.
One attack.
Tang Shidao woke up once and then fell asleep again. He did not take it seriously at all.
Compared to Tang Shidao, who had fallen asleep twenty-seven times after attacking twenty-six times, Poison Master Wolf was ten times more nervous. He had only woken up five times. The fourth time, Tiger Shadow and Elephant-faced Tiger Mask both left, leaving the rest camp unguarded. The remaining time was when he smelled a strange stench and woke up to instruct Tiger Shadow to kill the intruder. For the rest of the time, Poison Master Wolf was at ease, leaving the safety of Tiger Shadow and Elephant Mask to him.
Finally.
The night passed peacefully.
The four of them, including Tang Shidao, were refreshed, as if they had not experienced forty-seven confrontations at all.
"Owl, I'm surprised you don't feel tired." Elephant-faced Tiger Mask sighed.
As a new player.
It was really shocking that he could still be refreshed the next day in this kind of night, in a situation where the attacks were continuous. After all, they did not dare to close their eyes on the first night. They stared at the wilderness, afraid that a strange beast would pounce on them in the next second. Although they were not afraid, they could not let go of their worries.
"It's good to sleep well." Tang Shidao did not pretend. He really slept well.
"I was in the wilderness and only fell asleep on the night of the seventeenth day. I usually only dare to take a nap during the day." Tiger Shadow also expressed his admiration.
"I didn't dare to sleep for the first two months, including during the day." Poison Master Wolf was not afraid of being exposed. Alchemists were too weak and were much more timid than warriors.
Tang Shidao smiled and did not say anything.
The group hurried on.
Coincidentally.
Silver Hand Alchemist's group was also on the same road, and there were other teams around them. Seeing Tang Shidao's group in high spirits, Silver Hand, who could not open his eyes, could not help but feel angry. He was the pride of the Alchemist Mage Tower, but he was actually 'defeated' by a newcomer and an alchemy enthusiast. This was simply too humiliating.
In his heart, Silver Hand could not understand.
What did the Alchemist Mage Tower mean by letting him 'cultivate' in this kind of place? His highest level of skill could not be used at all. The only thing he could use was the failed medicine dregs that he usually threw away.
As the two teams approached, Silver Hand became more and more unhappy.
"The surrounding teams are all newcomers. The competition is about to start," Poison Master Wolf suddenly said.
"There's a competition?" Silver Hand frowned.
"Yes, it's a competition of who dies first and who can go the furthest." Poison Master Wolf sincerely reminded him, but it was very harsh in Silver Hand's ears.
"Humph, are you doubting my level?" Silver Hand snorted angrily.
Poison Master Wolf did not speak.
Tang Shidao wanted to laugh a little. In the Land of Forbidden Magic, Alchemists did not care about level, they only wanted knowledge and experience.
Hearing that there was going to be a competition, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Elephant-faced whispered, "In order to encourage teams to go further in the wild, every war fortress will have a special reward. Owl, just imagine that we are all participating teams, and whoever goes the furthest is the winner. Because all the nearby teams have newcomers, the hidden rule is that if there is a death in the team, it is equivalent to elimination. Only the team with no deaths can go to the end. "
Tang Shidao understood. "Once there is a death, the team must escort it back to resurrect, right?"
Elephant-faced nodded. "Yes, it must be sent back as soon as possible. If the body is snatched, it must be retrieved as soon as possible. If there are too many casualties in the team, the sentries will ask for help from the surrounding teams. If the sentries die, the Hunters will ask for help. When we see a small team battle, we are also obligated to help. If it's too dangerous, we have to help inform the other teams or war fortresses. We can't turn a blind eye. "
Tang Shidao understood that everyone needed to help each other in the wild. "Then are we falling behind? It seems that some teams didn't stop last night. "
Elephant-faced was very surprised. "You actually noticed that there were teams that traveled through the night. Haha, you really don't look like a newcomer. No, we didn't fall behind. It doesn't matter how much we traveled. The winner is the one who can walk to the end. We have no sleepy people, no injured people, no broken tools, no lost weapons, no used potions. This is a victory. "
Tiger Shadow also spoke. "Generally speaking, the winner is the one who is unharmed the next day. Look at the people around you."
Tang Shidao turned his head and looked around.
The scattered teams began to gather on the main road. It was the first night of meeting in the wild.
At this time.
Some teams had people who were mentally tired, such as Silver Hand. There were also some team members who were injured. Some team members had lost their backpacks. A good portion of the team members were sleeping as they walked. The entire team did not look as good as before. Compared to yesterday's high spirits, their mental state was much worse now.
Tang Shidao noticed.
Those who were injured, sleepy, and sleeping as they walked were often veterans.
The newcomers in their team were intact and well protected. They only looked at both sides of the road for fear that unknown beasts would attack.
"You won last night, but I'll get used to it." Silver Hand snorted softly and sped up his pace.
Mages had strong willpower, and Silver Hand was a member of the Alchemist Mage Tower. Even if he was proud and arrogant, his own level was still there. If it weren't for the fact that the Land of Forbidden Magic restricted magic energy and the contrast was too great, he wouldn't have lost his mind.
Tang Shidao was completely used to it.
First, it was because he practiced meditation, and second … living in Ancestral Dragon, a world without magic, there was nothing wrong with being an ordinary person.
The next night.
The situation was similar to the previous night, but there were a little more attacks.
They converged on the main road again.
Tang Shidao found that the team was a little less, about a third of them were gone. Silver Hand's team was very strong. Except for Silver Hand, who hadn't been sleeping well, the other orcs were fine. As they passed by, the Eagle Man sentinel even reminded Tang Shidao, "You're very good, but be careful tonight. There are fewer newbie teams, and the veterans are all on their way through the night. They're also a little further away from us. It'll be much more lively tonight. "
Tang Shidao nodded. "Thank you."
They continued on their way.
At night, sure enough, the night air was different.
Poison Master Wolf took the initiative to say, "I'll guard half of it. The first half of the night is more troublesome, so I'll sleep for half of the night. "
Elephant-faced said, "Then I'll sleep for half of the night."
Tiger Shadow took out his dual blades, indicating that he wasn't going to sleep. "I'll go around a few times. You guys pay attention to the fish that slipped through the net."
Tang Shidao knew that he couldn't help. He hadn't even figured out the nature of the Land of Forbidden Magic. Messing around and doing things randomly would only cause trouble. Now he only needed to understand, learn, familiarize himself, and finally slowly get used to the way of survival in the wild. Even if he offered to help now, his teammates wouldn't feel at ease letting him do it.
It was a lively night.
The screams around him were incessant, but none of them were from Tiger Shadow.
Occasionally, some fish slipped through the net and broke in, but Elephant-faced dealt with them easily. In the second half of the night, the attacks were slightly reduced. The Wolf Poison Master repelled a few attacks with poison without using weapons. Elephant-faced also slept at ease and didn't wake up. In his opinion, the Alchemist teammates were just as reliable.
Another day passed.
The reassembled team was less than one-fifth of yesterday's, and most of them were gone.
Silver Hand's team was still there.
In Tang Shidao's team, Tiger Shadow slept as he walked during the day, only occasionally opening his eyes. He wasn't too tired. Tang Shidao felt that he was pretending, as if he was deliberately pretending for someone to see. Naturally, the team traveling with him didn't need to do this. Tiger Shadow was deliberately pretending, so he must be deceiving the enemies who were watching him.
"It's not easy to hold on for three days. Be careful on the fourth night. Ask for help at any time." The Eagle Man sentinel reminded again.
Silver Hand had no objection. He was so tired that he had nothing to say. Tang Shidao's team was missing a sentinel, so it was only right for the Eagle Man sentinel to remind him. Competition was competition, but they weren't enemies. They were allies on the same side.
Soon.
Night fell on the fourth day. The teams subconsciously didn't stay too far apart.
At night.
Tang Shidao's team was still guarded by Elephant-Faced Wolf Poison Master, and Elephant-Faced Wolf Poison Master resisted the most difficult part of the night. Tiger Shadow was still wandering around, hunting throughout the night. After a difficult night, they gathered the next day … Only Silver Hand and Tang Shidao's teams were left.
Tiger Shadow was injured.
His arms were bleeding. Wolf Poison Master's medicine barely stopped the bleeding, and it would take a few days for him to heal.
Tang Shidao smiled bitterly … The worst healing medicine in the Sorcerer Net could heal injuries instantly, and even broken bones and missing flesh could be healed. Now, the medicine used was even worse than the one in the hospital on Earth Emperor Planet. This Forbidden Land was really unreasonable. All the advantages of the Sorcerer Net were gone here.
While no one was paying attention.
Tang Shidao walked to Tiger Shadow, who was sleeping and walking at the same time, and whispered, "Tiger Shadow, did you cut yourself?"
Tiger Shadow was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.
He didn't answer, but there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he admitted it.
"There's movement underground." Tang Shidao whispered again.
After that, he continued to walk with small steps.
Tiger Shadow was stunned for a long time when he heard that. His heart was already in turmoil … Even Poison Master and Elephant-Faced Wolf Poison Master didn't notice the movement underground, but Owl, a rookie, actually noticed it? Hehe, as expected of a genius who could derive special aura effects. He could still be so calm in this Forbidden Land.
It seemed that this team was going to be interesting.
