The Wizard's Infinite Journey

Chapter 27 Set fire to the mountain
"Is it here?"

Wearing silver armor, Karim came to Ximu Village with Yamu and his party.

A period of time has passed, and today's Ximu Village is very different from that at that time.

In the past, Ximu Village was very poor, but it could be seen that there were some people living there.

But now it is different.

In just a few months, the entire Ximu Village became empty.

Except for some old people, young people are basically extinct.

The reason for this result is that apart from the wraiths deep in the dense forest, Yamu also contributed a lot.

Although there are witches in that dense forest, the previous exploration has indeed given many people a harvest.

Many people obtain gold coins through green stones, and thus have a certain amount of wealth.

After the grievances broke out in the dense forest, these people moved out first.

Ximu Village is the place where their ancestors lived for generations, but this place is too poor, and the people who live here can only associate with wild animals all day long.

Coupled with the threat of wraiths, naturally not many people want to stay in this place.

The old people left now, to some extent, stayed for the bounty.

Amu still needed them afterwards, so he hired them with a sum of money and gave them a sum of money for their lives.

"Lord Amu."

An old man came forward, he was the former leader of Ximu Village.

He also stayed, looking at Yamu at the moment: "Do you want to go in now?"

"let's start."

Yamu nodded: "Let your people open the way."

"Yes."

The old leader sighed, but then he seemed to let go of something and led the people forward.

In the dense forest, old people stood in front of the team, resolutely walking towards the dense forest.

Not long after, there was a scream.

"There!"

Thorsen immediately ordered: "The first group goes forward."

"Yes!"

Brown was wearing armor, followed by nine knight apprentices, and walked directly in the direction of the screams.

After a while, the confrontation began.

When the battle was over, the old man who had entered before came out.

Compared to before, his face at this moment is extremely pale, and his whole body looks bloodless.

What caught the most attention was his two hands, as if they had been air-dried at the moment, they were completely shriveled.

The timely charge of the knight apprentice saved his life, but the previous attack by the wraith still cost him a lot.

But no one cares about that.

For the knights, these old men who are familiar with the terrain are just pawns for exploring the way, helping them find out where there are wraiths, so as to reduce their casualties.

For the old people, their lives have been bought out by Yamu before, and now they earn money every time they explore the road.

The old man with withered arms endured the pain and continued to move forward, screaming again.

This time, he was not as lucky as before, and he was freed directly from the attack of the wraith, and his life was sucked dry, turning him into a mummy.

Then came the next old man.

A full half a day passed.

Unknowingly, the entire dense forest was pushed in half.

After beheading twenty or thirty resentful spirits, Yamu and his party stopped.

"Why is there still no movement?"

Yamu looked at a certain direction deep in the dense forest, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

Compared to the last time, this time their progress went smoothly.

So far, no one has been killed except for the old man who was used to find the way.

Several seriously injured people have already retreated to the outside of the dense forest.

However, the female corpse remained silent.

Yamu still remembers that the last time he came here, just beheaded a wraith, and the female corpse attacked him.

However, this time they had already penetrated to this level, but they still did not arouse any reaction from the other party.

What's happening here?
Could it be that the other party saw that they were numerous and powerful, so they just confessed and hid?
An ominous premonition rose in Yamu's heart.

Soon, the ominous premonition in his heart was experienced.

The team slowly advanced deep into the dense forest, exited when it was dark, and waited until the next day to re-enter, without giving the wraiths the slightest chance to fight back.

After repeating this for a few days, almost all the wraiths in the entire dense forest were cleared up.

Even if there are some remaining, it will not cause any disturbance.

However, even so, everyone still failed to find the trace of the female corpse.

"That thing is hiding."

In the hall, Suo Sen's face was solemn: "I sent a few hunters in to search, but an accident happened immediately after leaving the team, and the whole person was sucked dry."

"That thing is hiding in this dense forest. We have been hiding from us and dare not come out."

"What should we do now?"

"Could it be possible to waste time with her all the time?"

The faces of several people present were a little ugly.

Cavaliers are quite sensitive.

In the depths of the dense forest, they all felt the feeling of peeping in the dark.

Something was indeed watching them in the dark.

However, compared to the irrational wraith, this thing is quite cunning, seeing that it can't fight against them, it hides directly.

In the range of the dense forest, they couldn't find it at all.

But if the people are scattered to search, it will be exactly what the other party wants.

They tried to explore the hunters to go out to search, but those hunters who were familiar with the terrain were attacked immediately as soon as they went out.

The situation was about to freeze.

"what should I do now?"

After discussing for a while, Suo Sen fixed his eyes on Yamu: "You already have an idea, right?"

"Probably have some ideas."

Ya Mu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Since the other party is avoiding us, why can't we change our thinking."

"Don't look for her, find a way to let her come out on her own initiative."

"How can this be done?"

All the people present were watching.

The answer given by Amu is also quite simple.

A few days later, the quiet Ximu Village became lively again.

Workers and slaves drawn from other places are working hard.

Barrels of kerosene were delivered.

"That's what you came up with?"

Suo Sen looked at the workers who were repairing the fire belts and making various ignition devices, and the expression on their faces couldn't help but be weird.

Around him, Karim and others stood there, with the same expression on their faces at this moment.

When Amou said that before, they thought that Amou had something good to do.

In the end, his method turned out to be like this.

Set fire to the mountain directly!

Yamu's idea is actually quite simple.

The female corpse relied on the dense forest to hide itself.

At the same time, the influence range of the opponent's power is limited, and it is very likely that it can only be used in that dense forest, and it even needs to rely on the unique environment in that dense forest to exert its power.

That being the case, if we just burn this dense forest, wouldn't that be the end?
Without the dense forest for cover, no matter how well the opponent hides, he will eventually be exposed.

And before, Yamu and others have tested it, and those wraiths are quite afraid of flames and sunlight.

If the female corpse and the wraith have the same characteristics and are afraid of flames, then maybe the other party will run out without setting the whole forest on fire.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that the price is a bit high, and the fire belt is well controlled.

Don't be careless, and point out several nearby mountains.

In that case, even if he accomplished his goal, Earl Reagan would probably come to settle accounts with him.
