I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 133 Familiar Heatwave

To facilitate locating mission coordinates, the outer perimeter of the border forest has been divided into twenty-six areas by the association.

From A to Z.

The further back the letter is in the alphabet, the narrower the area, and the closer it is to the heart of the forest.

Therefore, the R region where they are now is actually not too far from the heart of the forest.

Region X is located almost on the edge of the hinterland.

"What are you afraid of?"

Gru started again, "Little guy, what did your mentor, Hollen, say was that place was extremely dangerous and absolutely must not be visited?"

He said the interior of the forest is particularly dangerous and we shouldn't go there recently.

Wilder knew what he was going to say next, but he still answered the question cooperatively.

really.

"That settles it!"

Gru grinned and waved his arms. "The interior is dangerous, but we're only going to the outer areas! We're just getting close to the interior, not going deep inside!"

"Well----"

Wilder's lips twitched.

These words, spoken by Gru, a man with extensive experience in bed, carried a special significance.

I just rub against it, I don't go in.

"Wilde, what do you think?" Cyrion asked.

The suggestion to hunt down the kobolds was his, and his opinion was crucial.

"Hmm—it should be fine, right?"

Wilder pondered for a moment before speaking.

First of all, it's daytime, and most monsters, including the two-headed giant we just hunted, are sleeping, so the danger level is relatively low.

Secondly, when Mentor Hollen said there was danger in the hinterland, it was most likely referring to the core area of ​​the hinterland, not the periphery.

The X area, which is some distance from the edge, should be less dangerous.

At last.

He did indeed want to hunt down the kobolds.

Gaining experience is one thing, but it's also good for preparing some food for Bruce.

A whole pork rib costs one silver coin, and this guy got hungry again in less than an hour after eating it. He can't afford to keep going like this.

He planned to bake a lot at once so that Bruce could carry them back to Ironweave.

Let it manage its own food intake from now on, and stop supplying it until the next mission.

"We have a map, so we won't take the wrong route."

Wilder explained, "The chances of encountering other monsters are very low, and since it's still daytime, it shouldn't be a big problem."

.

Cyrion nodded, having already made up his mind.

But he still looked at his other teammates and asked, "Where are the others?"

For tasks outside of official duties, as the team leader, he had to consult everyone's opinions.

He will immediately stop the next step if even one person disagrees, and will never force anyone to agree.

"Of course I have no objection," Gru grinned.

Lyle and Joffrey nodded as well.

Maeve glanced at Wilder, then clenched her little fist: "I agree!"

Bruce couldn't understand what these people were saying.

If it could understand, it would probably let out a particularly loud howl and wag its tail happily.

"Alright!"

Cyrion laughed heartily, "Let's go catch another litter of puppies!"

So the team changed direction and headed towards area X on the outskirts of the forest.

Lyle and Joffrey went ahead as usual, one to scout ahead and the other to patrol and ensure the safety of the team's surroundings.

Cyrion and Gru walked side by side in front.

Wilder and Maeve followed side by side behind.

Bruce, carrying the luggage, happily brought up the rear.

While others went to hunt kobolds, it was heading to a feast of roasted meat.

The distance between area R and area X is not far.

Wilder deduced that the monsters in this area posed a relatively high threat, so the association divided the area near the heart of the territory into smaller, more manageable sections.

This makes it easier for adventurers to accurately locate mission objectives and reduces the chance of encountering other monsters.

In less than two hours, they arrived at their target area.

Wilder realized with a start that they were very close to the heart of the forest.

Because the rate at which his internal magical energy recovers is getting faster and faster.

Squinting, the magical network moving in the air had indeed become much denser.

But it's still far from the true heartland he's been to before.

Lyle returned at almost the same time as Joffrey.

"Should I say something?"

Lyle looked at Joffrey.

"please."

Joffrey gentlemanly turned his palms up.

"We've found the kobolds' lair," Lyle said. "It's just down a low slope by the stream, less than a quarter of an hour's walk away."

"There are two drowsy guards, unarmed," Joffrey added with a smile.

"Um.

""

Cyrion nodded. "Let's go."

Led by the ranger and the wanderer, the group of people walked slowly to the bushes by the stream.

Across the stream was an open space backed by a low slope.

Two dog-headed men, dressed in coarse linen clothes looted from lumberjacks, were guarding the entrance to a cave on a low, rocky slope.

As Joffrey said, they were drowsy and shaky.

"Um--

After thinking it over, Cyrion abandoned the idea of ​​developing a battle plan.

Wilder is the expert at hunting kobolds.

"The same as always?" he asked.

The so-called "old way" refers to Wilder using an extremely strange spell to make a kobold his friend.

Then the kobold led them into the cave, where they were allowed to kill and plunder everything, not even sparing the one who had led the way.

Completely inhuman, typical villainous behavior.

"Let's try something different."

Wilder said with a smile.

"what?"

"The previous method of killing was too slow; we need to get back to town before dark."

"So what do you plan to do?" Cyrion asked.

"I'll bewitch both guards and turn them into my partners, and I'll keep one to lead us into the cave to get something later."

Wilder explained, "I sent the other one into the cave to call out all its companions, and then I used magic to burn them all at once."

"Ah—okay."

Cyrion nodded.

As expected of an expert in hunting kobolds, he not only manages to kill them without taking any damage, but also prioritizes efficiency.

The operation begins.

Wilder raised his oak staff with his left hand and his hazel staff with his right.

To do two things at once.

Two streams of magical power flowed into the two crystals respectively, simultaneously outlining the structure of the spell.

[Quickly make friends]

two seconds.

The two crystals emitted light simultaneously, each sending out a beam of light that struck the two kobolds on the other side of the stream.

The two dog-headed men froze, then revealed a ferocious yet benevolent expression.

Wilde beckoned to them, and they immediately waded across the stream and ran to him.

"Aww!"

Bruce let out an excited howl.

Wilder immediately pressed it down.

"Aww!"

(I'll eat later!)

"Aww~"

It lay down looking aggrieved, drool in its mouth.

As always, Wilde asked his kobold friend about the situation inside the cave.

Thirty ordinary kobolds, and one kobold leader.

It's just average.

Then, as planned, he sent one of them back to the cave to gather its companions.

"ha!"

(good!)

The kobold nodded and turned to leave.

Sudden.

A scorching and surging wave of air rolled in from the south of the dense forest.

The air instantly became viscous.

The heat is unbearable.

"This feeling—"

Gru swallowed hard. "Why does this feel so familiar?"

next second.

"boom"

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

In the distance of the dense forest.

Suddenly, a magnificent and dazzling pillar of fire rose up.
