Above the mage!

Chapter 245 Tracking
Although the attack missed, Gao De's mood did not change much and he remained very calm.

The dragon-tongue blue lizard is, after all, a ground-vein creature.

Even though his spells were far more powerful than those of other mages due to the addition of Feng Ling Yue Ying, they were still just tricks after all, so it was normal for them to be blocked by a ring of earth creatures.

Compared to other first-ring mages, except for Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Gaode's most outstanding feature is the huge number of spells stored in his spell library.

As the saying goes, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Some spells, when taken individually, are not that important, but they can be combined with other spells to create a 1+1>2 effect.

Two intense energy beams flew out from Gode's hands and shot towards the oncoming dragon tongue blue lizard.

[Magic Explosion +], which has the ability to lock the enemy and perform force field damage, is extremely suitable for dealing with the Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard, which has extremely strong physical resistance.

After all, force field damage is a noble damage type that ignores armor and physical defense, which means that no matter how tough the skin of the dragon tongue blue lizard is, it cannot ignore the rays of magic energy explosion.

Energy beams fly.

The blue lizard's keen insight into energy also sensed a hint of danger and tried to avoid it.

However, the continuous tracking mechanism of [Magic Explosion+] made its attempts futile, unless it could burst out with amazing speed in a short period of time and move its body out of the casting distance of Magic Explosion.

Finally, the two energy beams hit the dragon tongue blue lizard accurately and then sank into it.

The blue lizard didn't show any signs of injury on the surface, but it immediately screamed in pain.

Because its internal body has suffered some damage.

At this moment, the distance between Gaode and the dragon-tongue blue lizard was very close and they were about to pass each other.

The dragon-tongue blue lizard, suffering great pain, opened its mouth in anger and spit out a tornado-like blue air storm, which rolled towards Gaode.

Gao De seemed to have not reacted and did not move at all.

The next moment, the blue airflow enveloped Gaode.

However, at this moment, a faint glow appeared on the surface of Gaode's body.

【Increase resistance+】

When you have the initiative, there is another great advantage, which is that Gaode can add [Increase Resistance +] to himself in advance.

The duration of [Increase Resistance +] is no longer limited to one minute, but can be extended as he wishes until his mana is exhausted.

The blue airflow swept over, enveloping Gaode's figure.

But Gaode was as steady as a rock, and his actions were not affected at all.

This includes the merit of improving resistance, as well as the ability of the primary ice body.

Gaode, who possesses a primary ice-protected body, has an 11% increased ability to withstand ice elemental damage, just like the earth vein creatures on the snowfield, who are naturally resistant to ice.

With the dual blessing of the primary ice-protected body and [Increased Resistance +], the damage caused to him by the dragon-tongue blue lizard's ice storm was almost negligible.

The freezing and slowing effect brought by the ice storm is also completely immune to the primary ice body.

The dragon-tongue blue lizard obviously didn't expect that Gaode could ignore its attack so easily, and it hasn't reacted yet.

And Gaode will naturally not miss this brief opportunity.

As the magic power in his body surged, at the moment he passed by the blue lizard, he summoned two floating ghost hands, which pressed heavily on the rough skin of the blue lizard.

In an instant, the dragon-tongue blue lizard felt its whole body go limp and became tired and weak.

[Hand of the Mage+] + [Touch of Fatigue]!
The Mage's Hand does not have any offensive capabilities.

However, Gaode can use the help of the mage to complete the contact required for [Touch of Fatigue], indirectly transforming [Touch of Fatigue] from a relatively useless melee spell to a medium-range spell.

This is the embodiment of 1+1>2.

Seeing that the dragon-tongue blue lizard had fallen into a state of fatigue, Gaode immediately took advantage of the situation and released the next spell.

A beam of blazing flame burst out from his hand.

The flaming arrow drew a bright trajectory and hit the dragon tongue blue lizard, which was unable to respond in time due to the spell effect.

【Flame Arrow+】!
Although the extreme cold in the North will weaken the performance of fire spells, since the main resistance of the Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard is concentrated on ice, the damage caused by fire spells to it will be greatly increased accordingly.

One side is weakening, the other side is improving, but comparing the two, the improvement is better than the weakening.

Therefore, the cost-effectiveness of casting fire arrows is still extremely high.

The dragon-tongue blue lizard that was hit by the flame beam immediately let out a painful roar. There were already burn marks on its tough skin, and it was obvious that it was seriously injured.

Seeing this, Gao De knew that now was the best time to end the battle.

Dangdang Dangdang!
A mournful ringing sound rang in the air and continued to echo.

【Death knell】.

A bell sounded, indicating additional damage to injured units.

Gray patches appeared on the skin of the blue lizard, and its eyes revealed fear and despair.

This is the necrotic damage caused by [Death Knell], which not only causes damage to its body, but also has a certain impact on its spirit.

As the ringing sounded, the blue lizard's vitality seemed to be being drained away by an invisible force.

Gaode did not give the dragon-tongue blue lizard any chance to breathe, and a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit.

"【Magic Energy Explosion】!" He shouted softly, and two intense energy beams flew out from his hands again, shooting straight at the already weakened Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard.

This time, the energy beam caused greater damage inside the dragon tongue blue lizard's body on top of the eclipse damage.

The blue lizard struggled weakly, but its body was no longer able to offer any effective resistance.

The energy beam hit its abdomen, making a dull sound, and then sank into it.

Under the dual negative effects of fatigue and eclipse, the dragon tongue blue lizard's body is at its most vulnerable at this moment.

Therefore, these two energy beams instantly caused greater damage inside its body.

In the end, the blue lizard fell on the snow and lost all its vitality.

Gao De looked at the [Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard] (1/7) that appeared on Feng Ling Yue Ying's origin column. After confirming that it was dead, he cancelled the [Increase Resistance +] and walked to its corpse.

The Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard is one of the earth vein creatures unique to the North.

Therefore, the geocentric biology general education course that Godd took at Seres College did not include any introduction to the dragon tongue blue lizard.

Of course, he also had no idea which parts of the blue lizard were more valuable.

Gao De could only cast [Detection Magic], then cut off the part of the tongue where the magical light shone the brightest, and put it into the package.

Then he patiently began to cut up the body of the blue lizard.

This was the first Dragon Tongue Blue Lizard that Gaode had killed, but it was not the first lizard leyline creature.

origin:

0环-——霜尾蜥（4/7）、冰鳞蜥（2/7）。

Before encountering the one-ring dragon-tongue blue lizard, Gaode had encountered two different zero-ring lizard leyline creatures.

Unfortunately, most of the lizard leyline creatures live alone, unlike snow wolves and snowfield hyenas, which often appear in large groups.

Therefore, the origins he obtained were scattered, and he has not yet gathered any new origins.

After killing the Frost-tailed Lizard and the Ice-scaled Lizard, Gaode had tried it and found that the taste of the lizard meat was unexpectedly good.

Lizard meat tastes somewhat similar to fish, is relatively tender and smooth, and is rich in protein and fat, making it definitely a high-quality ingredient.

According to the way people in the North eat it, it is naturally eaten raw.

However, Gaode's eating habits still cannot accept such a primitive way, so he usually brings the lizard meat with him as a whole, cuts it into small pieces when needed, and roasts it on the fire.

The blue lizard is about the size of a wolf, and the amount of meat that can be cut off from its body is quite substantial.

However, due to weight limitations, Gaode only cut off the most tender part of the dragon tongue blue lizard's abdomen.

The rest is left to nature or the snow vultures and snow hyenas hovering over the snowfield. After packing up, Gao De set out again.

After walking a few more kilometers, he was already far away from the battle site and it was getting dark, so he prepared to set up camp and rest.

As usual, Godard first confirmed the weather for the next day through [Druid Tricks], and then cast [Wild Alertness] to call upon the Spirit of the Wild to help find a suitable campsite.

This is Wild Soul’s area of ​​expertise.

After a while, the Wilderness Soul found a relatively flat, sheltered and sunny area nearby, and there were some low bushes around it that could serve as a natural barrier.

Obviously, this is an ideal place to camp.

After finding the camping spot, the Wilderness Soul immediately and very consciously looked around for dead branches and hay that could be used as fuel, stones for making a fire, and used God's supplies to build a simple camp at the camping site it found.

It set up the tent, untied the bedding, and took out the rations that Gode had carried with him.

After mastering this spell, Gaode's living standard on the snowy plains has risen sharply.

No wonder Baruch said that [Wild Alertness] was a spell that the Guardian must learn.

Of course, these are all the Wild Soul can do at the moment. More difficult tasks can only be done by Gaode himself, such as cooking.

He used spark magic to quickly light a fire, then cut the lizard meat into small pieces and roasted them over the fire.

At the same time, a small pot was placed on the fire to boil hot water.

As for the Soul of the Wilderness, it was sent out by God to continue searching for fuel.

The meat of the blue lizard is extremely delicious, and it tastes good even without seasoning.

After a day's journey, Gao De was in a good mood to be able to have a good meal.

By the fire, God took out the map from the Snover clan and began to look at it.

Ten days had passed since he escaped from the Snowfield Guardian branch.

During this period, Gaode traveled an average of 40 kilometers a day, which is 400 kilometers in ten days.

But it is still far away from the northern coastline.

Because he entered the northern territory from the Erwenlaya Mountains within the Principality of Sean.

To reach the northern coastline, the distance one has to travel is almost equivalent to crossing the entire Plantagenet dynasty.

But Gaode is not in a hurry.

Because he was not just rushing on the road, he was also actively "killing monsters" while rushing on the road.

With other things to do, the journey will not seem so boring.

After confirming that he had not deviated from the direction, Gaode put away the map.

Flora sat on Goder's shoulders and warmed herself by the fire with him.

Changes in temperature had little effect on her.

But Flora was a studious person, and when she saw the wizard roasting a fire, she joined in.

She would even try whatever the wizard ate.

"Mage, are you going to start practicing again?" Lady Flora said when she saw Gode put away the map.

Goder nodded, "That's right."

"Then Lady Flora will also start practicing magic."

"Then I wish Lady Flora a great success tonight."

"We have no horses."

".My bad, I wish Lady Flora a success tonight."

"Lady Flora almost succeeded last night. There will be no problem today." The scholar vowed.

"Yes, today will be fine."

"Lady Flora is indeed a smart person. A mere spell can't defeat you at all." Gao De praised continuously.

Flora glanced at Gode and took Gode's compliment very seriously. She narrowed her eyes slightly and showed her joy.

"really?"

"Of course, it takes an average wizard apprentice at least half a year to master a spell!"

"Ms. Flora has only been learning for less than a month!" Flora counted carefully on her fingers and became even happier.

"awesome."

"By the way, Mage, how long does it take you to learn a spell?"

"."

"Huh?!" Flora tilted her head and looked at God.

"I'm going to start my training today. Lady Flora, please hurry up too. As the saying goes, the first effort will weaken the second and the third will be exhausted. We should take advantage of the good momentum now and strive to succeed tonight."

"So how long does it take you to learn a spell?"

"."

"how long?"

"Just that long."

"How long is that long?"

"Two or three days."

Gao De did not "dare" to look at Flora again. After answering, he sat cross-legged silently, entered a state of meditation, and began to practice the [Aoki Changsheng Sutra].

"?!!!"

Flora's eyes widened, as if she had been shocked by something, and she could no longer utter a word.

Before Gode finished his training for the day, he was awakened by Flora.

Of course, Flora has always been very sensible. The reason she interrupted his practice was because she discovered something unusual and alerted God.

Gao De's whole body was startled. Just as he stood up, he found that two figures had appeared at the same time, about 100 meters in front and behind him.

It just happened to block both his way forward and his retreat.

Two people, one is a man and the other is wearing a bronze mask.

Gao De narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Guardian of the Snowfield?" he confirmed.

Because on the clothes of the two people, Gao De saw the familiar pattern representing the "Guardian of the Snowfield".

"Yes, we are hunters of the Snowfield Guardian." The man blocking Gode's way said in a deep voice.

These two people were naturally Loic and Catherine who had been following the scent all the way here.

"What do you mean?" Godard looked at Loichi with a vigilant attitude, and through mental communication, asked Flora to help put away the "Breath of the Wild" in the package.

The experience of living with Baruch gave him a certain understanding of the hunter group among the snowfield guardians.

In terms of combat power alone, the Hunter is stronger than the Guardian.

Therefore, although it is impossible to know the mage level of these two hunters, there is no doubt that they can definitely crush me.

He doesn't know the other party's specific intentions yet, but it is obvious that they have ill intentions, so he must put away "Breath of the Wilderness" first to avoid being guilty of "possessing a treasure".

"I have had encounters with Baruk, the guardian of your religion, and I am also a friend of the guardian of the snowfield." Gao De said in a deep voice.

"I found the right person." Seeing that Gao De had revealed his identity before he even asked, Loyiqi nodded with satisfaction.
