Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 367 The Dangerous Spellcaster

Having made the decision, Li Wei was no longer in a hurry.

He first got into the car and drove it off the highway, then casually parked it outside a small grove of trees by the roadside. From a distance of about 100 meters, you couldn't see anything unusual unless you looked closely; it was incredibly well hidden.

From the sky, as long as it doesn't move, what's the difference between it and a grove of small trees scattered across the wilderness?

So, how do we start a fire and cook?
Li Wei glanced at Adai, who was squatting next to him like a miniature eagle, staring longingly at the frozen fish that weighed at least 300 pounds. It was still alive. Every few moments, this guy would cast an ice spell on it. He wondered where its ice magic came from and why it was so abundant.
"I'm not your second aunt, so you can't have boiled fish if you want. But you've really been suffering these days, you've even lost weight. Here, let me cut you some sashimi."

Li Wei praised him affectionately, saying that he was truly a loving owner.

"quack!"

Ah-Dai barked softly twice, quite satisfied and happy. "You really want to eat fresh, frozen sashimi? Okay, I'll grant your wish."

Li Wei casually drew out a four-star enchanted dagger and looked at the large, icy fish. It was a mini-boss, and looked to be of decent quality. It had two life cores inside its body, which was nothing new, but it was indeed the largest fish that Ah Dai had brought back so far.

He didn't even need to think about anything; with a swipe of his enchanted dagger, the ice in the area vanished. It was Ah Dai who was cooperating to reclaim the ice. You're quite thrifty, aren't you?

In just one minute and thirty-eight seconds, Li Wei had already skillfully sliced ​​the large fish into a skeleton. During this process, he cleverly broke apart the fish's second life core, causing it to continuously release life energy and accumulate on the fish fillets. This was a bit wasteful, but the taste was excellent.

Anyway, Li Wei ate two pieces and Adai ate one piece, and the two of them, one human and one bird, were having a great time eating.

Cool!
At this moment, the big fish was still alive because there was still a life core inside its head.

At this moment, Ah Dai, for some reason, saw that Li Wei had finished eating and had no motivation to cut fish slices. Suddenly, he darted forward and quickly pecked at the fish, achieving the feat of being blind to its value in an instant.

And with that one move, the big fish's last life core disintegrated.

Ah Dai had already skillfully extended his claws, cracking and popping, breaking bones, ordering food, and killing on the spot. In no time, the food was completely devoured. Damn, he was even more skilled than Li Wei.

Looking at the guy suspiciously, Li Wei suddenly felt a surge of heat circulating inside his body, and he felt like he was about to burp, but before he could burp, the heat quickly dissipated.

He was then notified that after consuming high-quality food for several months, he had finally gained two free attribute points.

Goodness, it worked!

It's done!
Li Wei was overjoyed; this was a good omen. Of course, Ah Dai was also a good bird!
And so, they've started subsidizing their household expenses.

"Ah-Dai, I'm going to take a nap. You should rest too, but be alert and call me if you need anything."

After a moment's thought, Li Wei prioritized adding his two free attribute points to Agility, increasing his normal Agility from 49 to 51. He was now only 9 points away from reaching level three awakening, haha.

Then, he looked at the sky; it looked like it was going to rain. Yes, that was exactly the rain he was waiting for. He then crawled into the carriage and fell fast asleep, feeling completely relaxed.

He slept soundly from morning until two or three in the afternoon. When he finally crawled out, he saw that the sky was overcast and it looked like it was about to rain. After all, it was already May 20th, and summer was approaching, so it was quite normal.

"Hey, let's go for a walk."

As Li Wei spoke, he had Ah Dai fly up a thousand meters into the sky and into the clouds. With the cover of the clouds, this was really great. Moreover, Ah Dai's strength was now strong enough, and its wings were very powerful. It was practically a reconnaissance and strike drone.

Rain clouds? A piece of cake!
Li Wei, under the cover of strong gusts of wind, darted through the vegetation along the roadside, his breathing becoming long and restrained—a characteristic of a forest ranger. Although this code name had not yet been successfully activated, it was actually very powerful.

In this environment, Li Weizhen felt as if she had returned to her home turf.

He was even confident that his movements would be difficult for enemies to spot from a hundred meters away.

After rushing forward for about ten kilometers, Li Wei saw the fortress built on the north bank of the bridge. However, it was very quiet there, and no traps from the Neanderthals were found, probably to avoid accidental injury.

Not far from this fortress is a ruined town, surrounded by flat land. Hundreds of superhumans come and go every day, so it would be strange if they weren't accidentally injured.

"Boom!"

A muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the sky, but no rain fell; the weather grew increasingly gloomy, and the wind gradually picked up.

Li Wei was sharing the same view with Ah Dai and had already seen most of the situation inside the fortress ahead.

This is not a very strong fortress. It is not only inferior to Ron's fortress and Scar's fortress, but it is even somewhat inferior to Li Wei's territory building. It probably only has the advantage of a good location.

This place was originally supposed to be a factory, a car repair shop, or maybe a warehouse. Anyway, it was a mess and quite complicated place, but the surrounding walls were built quite nicely.

In the very center is a building that resembles a factory workshop. It is huge and spacious, standing 15 meters tall. However, the outer layer is surrounded by a reinforced concrete wall about 10 meters high, and the top is a structure made of various pieces of wood.

I don't know what the pioneers were thinking back then. They couldn't have been dealing with a rookie like Li Wei without much information or intelligence support.

However, there were four arrow towers surrounding the camp, each twenty meters high, towering majestically and imposingly. They were also quite sturdy and intimidating, showing that a great deal of thought had been put into their construction.

Unfortunately, it still reflects the thinking of ordinary people; it's all fancy and impractical.

At this very moment, there are sixteen superhumans on duty atop these four arrow towers.

In addition, on the wooden roof of the fortress, there was an oddly shaped sentry post that looked like an arrow tower, with four superhumans on duty.

These superhumans are half cat-human and half dog-human.

One of them has excellent eyesight, and the other has great hearing and a fantastic sense of smell.

It seems that Duke Frost has a lot of cat and dog-mutated ability users under his command, probably because these ability users used to be in frequent contact with cats and dogs.
In theory, it would be very difficult to infiltrate them because they are extremely vigilant, keeping a close watch on their surroundings and the sky, constantly creating intersections of their gazes, like a net that is difficult to break through.

Except for Li Wei.

His +7 perception allows him to instantly discern each other's detection range and any gaps in their line of sight.

Yes, there will always be loopholes. These half-cat people and half-dog people are bound to have some oversights. They can't possibly follow the requirements strictly every minute and every second, year after year, keeping their eyes wide open and looking for every little thing.

Although they are actually quite dedicated.

But that's just how it is because my abilities are limited.

So Li Wei casually circled around, found a downwind spot, avoided several key traps, and under the cover of a gust of wind, took advantage of the slight shift in the gaze of several ability users, and with only a fraction of a second of space, easily entered the enclosure.

However, upon entering this place, Li Wei immediately had a different feeling, as if some unseen force was calling to him, watching him, sensing him, and searching for him.

This feeling is all too familiar.

"Is it inspiration? Or the spellcaster?"

Li Wei's heart stirred, and he concealed his aura even more deeply, no longer daring to make any rash moves. He knew this feeling all too well. Back when he and Liang Yuzhi led Javier, Santiago, and several other free people to a small town in the north to fight that level-five mutated spider, that thing had once spoken in human language, uttering a whole bunch of incoherent nonsense.

Then there will be a psychological shock.

Later he learned that it was a unique inspiration belonging to the spellcaster, like a puppet on a string of fate, which would connect with the power of the unseen through a few fragments of information, such as names or identities, and form a very terrifying mental attack.

It's just pretty weird.

At that time, Li Wei's perception was only +1, so he was easily hit and it took him more than ten seconds to break free.

Even further back, in the newbie missions, the Great Witch almost bewitched Li Wei.

Later, after her relationship with her second aunt improved, her second aunt would often use mental attacks to punish those who secretly spoke ill of her. Li Wei saw this many times and would occasionally ask to have it done for herself. The effect was quite good, especially when she had insomnia; it was really great for inducing sleep...

Li Wei felt that if his perception was still +1 at this moment, no, anyone with a perception lower than +4 would be likely to be affected. Those with +4 or +5 perception should be able to avoid it, but they would not be able to continue.

Perception +6 is acceptable, but Perception +7 is still the most reliable.

Li Wei sensed for several minutes in the dark and finally confirmed that his perception +7 was definitely enough to make him invincible here. When he saw raindrops finally falling, it seemed that this also affected the spellcaster's inspiration rhythm. It was no longer as impenetrable as before, but rather like the wind blowing through a curtain, finally revealing a few gaps.

Li Wei swam silently through these gaps like an eel and successfully entered the fortress.

But the fortress was filled with a strong, pungent smell. There weren't many superhumans here; judging from the crowd, there were no more than fifty. Some were fast asleep on the first floor, while others were gambling together. Interesting, these guys didn't seem to have been too much of a mental blow...

"Hum hum……"

Just as Li Wei was thinking this, he heard several greasy creatures writhing like maggots in a dimly lit room next door. Goodness, this scene was quite noisy.

Half-pig people, half-cow people, half-dog people, half-sheep people, but surprisingly no Neanderthals crossing over.
Wait, a half-goat?

Li Wei's gaze fell on the second floor of the fortress, where there was a peculiar table. It was very strange and had an indescribable feel to it. Li Wei was certain that the inspiration he had just sensed was emanating from that table.

Amazing.

But what's even more amazing is that a half-goat man, so fat it's indescribable, was fixed to the table.

He, he's really too fat.
