Cooking Girl on Fire: All the beautiful men come to the bowl

Chapter 23 The Murder Case Caused by a Magic Crystal

The setting sun was like fire, and the setting sun melted into gold. When Ai Xiaomi and Lan Lan were confronting each other, she suddenly felt the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance. Coming in her direction.

At the beginning is a man with a goatee. He is dressed in a brown shirt with a long sword pinned to his waist. Behind him are people dressed in ordinary clothes, and behind him are a few warriors in uniform. people.What surprised Ai Xiaomi was that the mounts of those people did not seem to be horses, but some orcs with centaur bodies. The smooth upper body of men and the lower body of horses were their obvious characteristics. The centaurs carried a large amount of goods on their backs. The eyes of both the man and the mount were obviously tired.

"Let's go!" The centaur behind was whipped severely because his pace was a little slow, and a scarlet blood mark immediately appeared on his bare back.

human beings!Finally saw the same kind!After coming to the surface world for so many days, Ai Xiaomi finally saw humans!

In fact, she didn't know that because Lan Lan belonged to the fox clan, she had many charming spells. If Lan Lan didn't want to, Ai Xiaomi would not be able to discover it even if she passed by others for so many days.

At this moment, how much Ai Xiaomi wanted to be so excited that tears filled her eyes!However, out of a cautious and cautious attitude, she temporarily put away her hand playing with the "fox", put it on her shoulder, and then quietly hid behind a big tree that was so thick that it could cover her body.

The fox can settle his own affairs later, and he should watch the fun first.

As the footsteps got closer, the team of people had arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.No one in the group spoke a word along the way. They seemed to have just fought a tough battle, and everyone was exhausted.

Ai Xiaomi watched quietly through the big tree. If possible, she planned to follow the team quietly. Maybe she could get out of the forest this way.

Suddenly, the goatee at the front suddenly made a gesture, and the people behind stopped in a tacit understanding. Coincidentally, the last person in the team stopped in front of the big tree at the moment Ai Xiaomi was hiding.

"Someone!" As soon as the goatee said, the team immediately became vigilant, and a few people dressed as warriors touched their swords in an instant.

……

"Damn! These people are so sensitive?" Ai Xiaomi secretly sighed in her heart, flipping her fingers and palms, secretly accumulating strength.She didn't intend to hurt anyone, but these people seemed to be very cautious, and going out rashly might cause friction with them.

To Ai Xiaomi's surprise, after the leader shouted "someone", he didn't make any more moves.

Those people didn't move, and Ai Xiaomi didn't move at all.

In this short period of time, there was suddenly no sound in the huge Xingyue Forest, as if the birds, beasts, insects and fish had disappeared, even the wind was no longer blowing, and the leaves were no longer rustling.

"Your Excellency has been with our Hengxin Mercenary Group for a few days. What is your intention? Don't you dare to stand up and speak?" The leader with a goatee called out, and his voice resounded through the surrounding trees. It seemed that he had some inner strength. .

aha?So it wasn't you who said it?Ai Xiaomi withdrew the flame blade that had been condensed in her palm, and it seemed that there was a third party.

"Hahahaha, it's not that you don't dare, it's that you are unworthy. Everyone who has seen me is dead." Sure enough, a somewhat hoarse man's voice came, "Leave the magic crystal, and you can leave."

Ai Xiaomi looked around, but the voice came from the sky, but she couldn't tell which direction it came from.Ai Xiaomi had to be cautious again. In her opinion, a person who dares to speak so arrogantly is either a confident lunatic or a strong man with extraordinary strength.

"My friend, our Hengxin mercenary group has always traveled the mainland with faith. After taking money from the employer, we will naturally deliver the goods safely. If your money is tight recently, I have some gold coins to help you tide over the difficulties." Goat Beard listened to the sound to identify the position, but also failed to find the other party's trace, and a layer of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.

Thinking about it, I was already a knight at the peak of the sixth rank, and I could be regarded as a Chu Qiao in the mercenary world in terms of strength. If not, I would not take the risk of taking my men out of this Xingyue Forest full of monsters.But at this time, he couldn't feel the opponent's position, which showed that the opponent's strength was definitely higher than his own, and there was even a difference of more than one or two ranks.

If the other party just wants money, things are easy to handle. After all, money can solve things that are not troublesome, but if the other party wants goods, then it seems that there will be a tough battle on your side.Although the opponent is powerful, there is only one person after all, and his team should be able to fight.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reached out to his waist and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The voice floated over again, still coming from above, "I am not short of money, obediently leave the magic crystal block, I will let you go, otherwise..." Before the words fell, there was a strong explosion It had already sounded in front of a tree not far in front of the goatee. The shock made Ai Xiaomi feel a little tinnitus, and she couldn't help but look sideways.

……

Depend on!
This was Ai Xiaomi's exclamation from her first reaction.

The big tree that was hugged by several people was blasted into a big hole from the middle.Is this what wind magic can do?She thought that she could blow a tree out of a big hole with a fire bomb of a higher attribute, but she would never be so perverted!
The goatee and Ai Xiaomi are almost stunning: it is a 6th-level wind magic wind blast bomb, but there is a corrosion effect in the middle!If this person didn't accumulate energy for a long time to release this magic, or use magic booster items or magic scrolls to bluff people, then his strength must be at least at the level of a wizard!
However, if he was using magic augmentation items to bluff, I would not have given him such a chance!

As the deputy head of a senior mercenary group, Goatee has experienced many things.In his opinion, it is more likely that the visitor belongs to the latter. After all, they have encountered too many robbers along the way, and they have seen too many mysterious scenes.What's more, the destination is right in front of your eyes, how can your team stop before the destination?
Thinking of this, the goatee's face sank, and he gave a low "array".

After everyone heard the order, they lined up in a well-trained manner. Among them, six people in uniform uniforms stood in a triangular formation, one big and one small, and surrounded the centaur and the goods in the middle.

"Overreaching!" The wind magician laughed loudly from the air. While laughing wildly, six wind blades with green lights flew out in an instant. Before the six people in the triangle formation had time to react, their heads had been crushed. It was cut off abruptly, the head fell off, and the body was still in place. It took three seconds for blood to spurt out from the body.

"Damn it! So tough!" Ai Xiaomi was stunned behind the big tree, not even noticing the splash of blood on her face.

The people in the formation were overwhelmed by the instant attack, and the more timid ones screamed out in fright when they saw the scene of blood rushing.

When Goatee saw this, a burst of distress and anger welled up in his heart. He held the knight's sword tightly in his hand, but he didn't dare to act rashly.The six people in the triangular formation are all at the peak of the fifth order, and two of them are about to advance to the next level. It can be said that they are the backbone of his Hengxin mercenary group. This magician just killed six people instantly with a group attack. It was a devastating blow to the Hengxin Mercenary Group.

Only tens of seconds apart, there was another roaring sound, at first it was just a slight wind blowing, and the sound became louder and louder, followed by a dancing and spinning tornado, the tornado turned faster and faster, and instantly came to the goatee In front of others.

The goatee was even more shocked. The tornado is an eighth-level magic. To be able to release such a big magic so quickly, the strength of the people in front of him is unimaginable!
Only then did the goatee realize that the situation was not good, but it was too late to call everyone to retreat. The tornado roared, and the remaining people were rolled up and thrown into the sky.

Ai Xiaomi was naturally also affected by the tornado. The strong wind swept her so hard that she could hardly keep her eyes open, and even wanted to roll her thin body into the sky.Ai Xiaomi put her body as close to the tree root as possible, and quickly tied a scattered tree root to her body.

At this time, a certain fox was instantly swept out due to its underweight. At this moment, Ai Xiaomi stretched out her hand suddenly, grabbed the fox by its tail and pulled it back.

However, this action caused Ai Xiaomi to let go of one hand, so she also flew up into the air with the tornado, but her other hand was still holding on to the root of the tree, so a certain big tree appeared behind her. There was a scene of a red-haired beauty standing on her head in front of a big tree.

The tornado turned faster and faster, and finally lifted into the sky, bringing everything to the sky, and even some small trees were uprooted. Under the operation of the wind magician, it was taken to nowhere.

After a while, the weather finally calmed down, and Ai Xiaomi landed with the fox.Ai Xiaomi's fiery red hair was in a mess, and Lan Lan was even worse, all the hair on her body stood up.If Ai Xiaomi hadn't caught its tail in time, it would have been hanged to death by the tornado now.But it is also in great pain now, with tears flowing from its big eyes, not to mention the strong wind blinding its eyes, its middle tail has been grasped for several centimeters, compared with the other two tails, it is simply ugly, and it is still There were bursts of severe pain.

At this time, a box suddenly fell from the sky. Immediately afterwards, Ai Xiaomi saw a man in a black robe rising out of thin air, grabbed the falling box in an instant, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha!" A burst of extremely uncoordinated laughter came out of that person's mouth, a bit like a person who has been hoarse from smoking for a long time, and it made people feel terrified.

After the man landed on the ground and opened the box, Ai Xiaomi immediately felt an obvious wave of magic, and finally saw the magic crystal block that killed the team.

Said to be a magic crystal block, Ai Xiaomi thinks it is more like a large ostrich egg, because it does not have the sharp edges and corners of the magic crystal, but is extremely smooth, with some irregular patterns on it.If it weren't for the translucent color and strong magic fluctuations, Ai Xiaomi would have thought it was a large egg.

It's no wonder that there is a struggle for such a large crystal, even if it is almost invisible in the treasure house of Chrominos, it is enough to show its preciousness.However, it was too cruel for this magician to kill so many people in order to snatch this magic crystal.

In Ai Xiaomi's thinking, her purpose of learning magic is very simple: one is to cook, and the other is to strengthen herself and self-defense.So seeing that wind magician use magic to kill people because of snatching a magic crystal, she felt disgusted in her heart, and this emotion was so strong that even the air was filled with dissatisfaction. A trace of fluctuation.

"Huh?" The wind magician not far away immediately exclaimed, "Unexpectedly, there is a fish that slipped through the net here?"

The strange smoky voice of the wind magician came over lightly, and before the words fell, Ai Xiaomi felt an invisible pressure bound.

As soon as Ai Xiaomi condensed her magic, the wind magician had already come in front of her, and his face clearly appeared in Ai Xiaomi's sight.

This wind magician looks about 50 years old, skinny as bones, although his right face is covered by a half mask, but Ai Xiaomi can still see the fine blue lines on his right face, one by one as if carved with a knife It's like getting into the skin.His eyes were deeply sunken, and if it wasn't for the skin, Ai Xiaomi wouldn't have suspected that it was a moving skeleton.

At this moment, a small dark blue-black wind blade had condensed from his fingertips, and he approached straightly, and Ai Xiaomi's condensed flame bombs immediately met the wind blade.

Ai Xiaomi would not be so confident that she would still stand there after casting the spell, but immediately moved away from her body and escaped. However, she was still shocked by what she saw: her flame bomb was hardened by the wind blade. It was cut open, and after the cut, the wind blade directly hit the place where Ai Xiaomi stayed just now, cut into the big tree where he had been hiding just now, and did not disappear until half a foot deep.

Ai Xiaomi was deeply shocked!
This is the difference in rank!
Ai Xiaomi doesn't know what level of strength this guy is, but she knows that even if she has high-level attributes, this kind of gap in level is still unavoidable!

run?This was Ai Xiaomi's first thought, but Ai Xiaomi didn't think she could run away from a wind magician who was much higher than herself and was good at speed.
