Chapter 1097 (1/2)
Hunting mountain is a mountain forest privately owned by Ryan royal family. The altitude is only about 600 meters, but the forest on the mountain is extremely lush and even presents a primitive ecology. In autumn and winter every year, the hunting mountain will be closed, and then the mercenaries hired by the royal family will put all the low-level Warcraft and wild animals collected into the mountain forest, allowing them to live and die on the mountain until the spring hunting or autumn hunting begins, which will become a proof for the Royal family and nobles to show off their meritorious deeds and bravery.
Of course, in order to prevent too cunning Warcraft from growing too strong, every two to three years, when hunting activities are held, the royal family will let the strong go up the mountain to sweep, so as to ensure that these powerful Warcraft will not affect the next hunting.
In the royal capital, many nobles took the hunting twice a year as a shortcut to the circle of high nobles.
Because every time spring hunting and autumn hunting activities are held, 20 families will be invited. In addition to the four old nobles of the royal family and the royal capital, the remaining 15 invited families are selected by the king, and the selection criteria is that the family has more outstanding members in the last year or half a year. Of course, in terms of the two hunting activities, the gold content of autumn hunting is higher than that of spring hunting.
Unfortunately, this year's autumn hunting is doomed to fail.
Because his majesty didn't know clearly three months ago, he didn't release the task of catching Warcraft alive this year - chunshou is a relatively low-level hunting activity, which is the new generation of some families. Because they usually don't have too strong strength, they mainly hunt wild animals, and occasionally there are level-1 and level-2 low-level Warcraft; Qiushou is faced with stronger young children, so the hunting object will change from beast to Warcraft, but it will never exceed level 5 - which makes many mercenaries who have gathered the king and are ready to sell the Warcraft captured in advance at a good price complain incessantly.
The news of the king's death sent the whole king into a panic.
This year's hunting mountain is destined to be cold and lonely.
However, occasionally there are still a few fish that have escaped the net jumping in the mountains and forests.
Alexis walks in the mountain forest. Her keen perception allows her to easily find several Warcraft lurking in the mountain forest. These guys with slightly civilized IQ obviously know that Alexis is not a easy guy - their natural beast perception makes them have an instinctive judgment, so even if Alexis doesn't emit any breath, just like the ghost walking in the star world, no Warcraft will come out to die.
But Alexis didn't come here to hunt these low-level Warcraft barbecues.
Walking in the mountains and forests, the corners of Alexis's mouth raised slightly, revealing a light smile.
* there is no sound in the quiet mountain forest, not to mention the chatter of insects at night, even the Warcraft is struggling to restrain their breathing. If Alexis completely exudes her power, she can understand the effect, but now she has not released her influence. However, the mountains and forests are still so quiet that they seem a little depressed. How can Alexis, who has rich practical experience, not know the meaning?
She slowly drew out a cutting blade tied to her waist - Alexis's hand was so stable that when she pulled out the sword, there was no friction between the blade and the scabbard, not even a sound. I'm afraid even the most elite killers can't do this. After all, there is only a little space between the scabbard and the blade. It's not easy to pull out the sword without making any sound.
Holding the blade in her hand, Alexis's smile grew stronger.
Sean has never seen Alexis use her own weapons, whether in the game or in the real world. Of course, the exaggerated long gun can't be counted, and now the long gun is also stored in her own private space by Alexis. If Sean could see Alexis's cutting blade at this time, he might not be able to react for a moment and a half, even if he was not scared.
This is a blade as dark as ink. The blade body seems to be coated with matte materials. Even if it is shrouded by the moonlight shining through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the mountain forest, the blade is still dark and dark, as if the blade body is a black hole, swallowing all the light. However, this is not the reason why Sean would be shocked. The real reason for his surprise is that something on the sword seems to be surging and struggling madly, as if he wants to break through the sword and appear in the material world.
The intuitive feeling is that this is a living blade.
Usually, only artifact has its own will and soul.
However, Sean absolutely dares to swear by his ”rich” forging experience and skills that the cutting blade in Alexis's hand is by no means an artifact. At best, it is probably half a level higher than the epic, let alone the real myth level, even the quasi myth level is not.
Alexis's right hand trembled slightly, but it was not because she was nervous, but because she was too excited.
”Dark, endure a little longer.” Alexis's voice murmured as if he were talking nonsense, ”I'll let you have a good drink right away.”
With the words of Alexis falling down, another blade tied to Alexis' waist trembled slightly. Although the amplitude was not large, it was enough to cause Alexis's perception. Alexis gently placed her right hand on the handle of the unsheathed blade, and then gently stroked the handle, just like stroking the lover's cheek. The chopping blade immediately calmed down.
”Chi, this is not the time for you to play. Wait.” Alexis whispered, ”let's see if this opponent is worth my double sword.”
As Alexis's voice sounded like a babble, she raised her right hand holding the blade called dark, and then waved it casually, as if she were looking for a feeling.
However, if you observe carefully, you can see that while Alexis waved his right hand, more than two-thirds of the sword body disappeared strangely. Except for drawing a ripple in the air, you can't see that part of the sword body at all. However, when the chopping blade appeared completely again, there was a slight smell of blood in the air, and there was a touch of blood on the body of the chopping blade, sliding down along the outline of the blade from top to bottom.
But before it condensed to the tip of the blade, the trace of blood had completely disappeared, as if swallowed by the sword body.
If Sean was present, he must be able to judge that this blade called dark is definitely a living creature!
Because the breath of living creatures emitted from the air is obviously strong, and even there are faint fluctuations of excitement and anxiety - the fluctuations of excited consciousness naturally come from the darkness that has been out of its sheath and seen blood; The wave of anxiety came from another flame that had not yet come out of its sheath, but Alexis's right hand kept pressing on the hilt, so the anxiety was soon suppressed.
Alexis ignored the spreading or waking consciousness transmission. She just walked casually, looking like a casual walk after dinner. But every few steps ahead, Alexis's right hand will gently wave, and the action looks very casual, as if she is driving away mosquitoes in the dense forest.
But with the advance of Alexis and this seemingly meaningless random action, the smell of blood in the dense forest is becoming stronger and stronger.
And those Warcraft hidden in the forest were so frightened that they crawled on the ground and trembled that they didn't even dare to get up and run away. If they had prophets, I'm afraid they would never appear here at this time tonight - or even if they were killed directly, it would at least be a relief, not to experience the great panic that life is better than death as it is now.
Just a few tens of meters of road, Alexis ”waved” almost 20 times. However, except for the extremely strong bloody gas in the air, there was no sign of any dead body on the ground, and even there was no sign of any dead body falling on the ground. But anyone who knows Alexis well knows that this so-called taboo exists, and her every move is definitely not meaningless.
Walking to a tall tree, Alexis finally turned her head and looked at the road towards her, with a smile on her face.
