The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

Lu Lin has made a lot of preparations these days, and this is one of them.

Although the caravan has guards, after all, the team is so long. In the event of an attack, the main task of the guards must be to deal with the main body of the incoming monster group. By then, it is likely that there will be loose loose monsters targeting Lu Lin and others; If they don't want the Earth Dragon to be injured, Lu Lin and the others have to take action by themselves at this time.

For this reason, not only Lu Lin and the others, but most of the dragon houses carrying houses will also have the same crossbow shooting positions as Lu Lin and the others, used to attack stray monsters.

Lu Lin climbed up the shelf, opened the skylight, picked up the crossbow, and gestured around.

It’s not that he wanted to test-fire. He had already done enough test-firing in the past two days. Now that the team was marching, the test-firing crossbow arrows could not be recovered, so there was no need to waste them.

Picking it up now, I just want to feel if it feels different on a moving earth dragon than when it is not moving.

At this time, the uncles driving the Earth Dragons behind them watched Lu Lin open the skylight and use a crossbow without arrows to move around. They looked at each other and smiled.

"Haha, this kid with the big cat on his back is really interesting," an uncle laughed and said, regardless of whether Lu Lin could hear it or not, "Is this the first time you run this kind of route? Where are you now? Ah, are you so nervous?"

"Hey! What are you talking about," another uncle continued with a smile, "Can't you just feel fresh and eager to try it now?"

Hearing the chatter and laughter behind him, Lu Lin immediately twitched the corner of his mouth.

It's bad, it's a joke.

And in a sense, it really hit the mark.

Damn, I feel a little embarrassed.

No, he can't show embarrassment. As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

With this mentality, Lu Lin pretended to be inspecting a crossbow and looked the crossbow back and forth in his hand. Then he put the crossbow down, put his hands on his hips, and began to patrol around, pretending that he was just watching the scenery. Check the crossbow.

Unfortunately, even so, Lu Lin still heard faint laughter coming from behind him.

Just when Lu Lin felt that the nerves in his forehead were twitching due to embarrassment, suddenly, a dark shadow seemed to flash across his sight.

"Huh?" Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.

What just happened?

Lu Lin looked at the place where the black shadow crossed. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something staying there in the shadow of the woods.

"What kind of beast is it? If it's a wild boar or something, can I shout, 'What a big wild boar' to relieve the embarrassment?" Out of such a funny idea, Lu Lin put on a crow mask and wanted to Use the "Eternal Night Lens of the Sleepless Night Crow" to see what the black shadow is.

But what he saw at this glance was completely beyond Lu Lin's expectations.

In the shadow, Lu Lin saw a wolf.

A wolf that is not an entity but composed of wisps of black mist.

"What is this thing? An energy body? Or one in the shape of a wolf? A magical creation? Or some kind of magical beast?"

Just when Lu Lin was shocked, the wolf looked over.

Although there were no so-called eyes in the black mist, Lu Lin clearly felt that the thing was looking at him.

And just by looking at each other, Lu Lin felt a chill running down his back.

Lu Lin immediately wanted to remind everyone to pay attention, but as soon as he opened his mouth, in the blink of an eye, the wolf had dissipated with the wind. When he looked there again, there was nothing left, not even the slightest energy aftermath. remain.

Even after looking around, Lu Lin couldn't find anything unusual.

It was as if everything just now was just Lu Lin's illusion.

Chapter 75 Is this the bald head cherishing the bald head@;?

"A wolf-shaped shadow made of dark energy?"

Lan Jie looked at Lu Lin in shock.

"Don't scare me, what is that?"

"I'm asking you just because I don't know," Lu Lin said. "It's hidden in the woods. You can't see anything with the naked eye. I can only see it with my lens."

"I, I don't know, I've never been to the dungeon," Lan Jie said, "But didn't we just leave the city? Isn't that right? Boss, did you really make a mistake?"

"I'm sure I didn't make a mistake," Lu Lin said, "How about we go talk to the people from the big chamber of commerce about this?"

"If there is a chance tonight, let's go talk to the captain of the guard," Lan Jie said. "The captain of the guard here originally wanted me to help in their team, but I said there are only three of us here, and one of them is sick. He needs to be taken care of, and I have to drive, so he didn’t let me come, but I chatted with him for a while and we got along pretty well, so it shouldn’t be difficult to chat with him.”

"Okay, let's talk about it tonight," Lu Lin nodded, "I'll go take a look at the attic."

----

The caravan moved forward until the sun was about to set.

After the team stopped, teams riding in horse-drawn carriages and other small freight vehicles began to set up camp and make fires to cook.

For people like Lu Lin and others who have house-carrying earth dragons, they finish most of their dinners on the way. At about six or seven o'clock, almost everyone driving the earth dragons has a bowl of food in their hands. Yes, the whole team was full of delicious food, and the people who couldn't eat almost starved themselves to death.

Now that the team has stopped, these hungry brothers are naturally eager to cook and are busy for a while. However, Lu Lin and others are free and can walk around and chat with each other.

As soon as Lu Lin got off the ground dragon, the uncles who were on the ground dragon behind him immediately waved and greeted him, and even gestured with their hands to shoot with a crossbow, which made Lu Lin awkward.

But seeing the uncles laughing, Lu Lin knew that they meant no harm, so he returned the same gesture as them and let it pass as a joke.

After Lu Lin came down, Li Mi soon followed.

However, Lu Lin had already expected that she would follow. In order not to make her stand out too much, he helped her change into a large plain coat, loose trousers, and a bamboo hat, which made her look like a knight-errant.

Of course, even so, her unique temperament and the pretty girlish face under the brim of her hat are equally eye-catching.

But there is Lu Lin on the side. When it comes to attracting attention, it is Lu Lin, the big man with a big face and cat claws on his pockets, who is better.

Lan Jie was the last to come down, holding a pot of chicken soup in his hand.

The twin mud puppets were left at the door to look after the house and sweep the ashes at the door.

"So, boss, have you ever seen the kind of strange shadow you mentioned?" Lan Jie walked ahead with chicken soup and asked as he walked.

"We've never seen each other again," Lu Lin said. "Mainly, when I saw it for the first time, I felt that the thing noticed me looking at it. It probably won't be that easy to see it again later."

"Well... let's talk to the guard captain anyway..." Lan Jie said.

Not long after, Lan Jie led the two of them to the place where the guards were camping.

At this moment, the escort team is also making a fire and cooking. After all, most of them ride their own mounts, so it is naturally impossible for them to start dinner in advance. The rest without mounts, although most of them will stay on other people's house-carrying dragons, but for the sake of time Be warned, they won't eat in advance either.

Even now, some people were sent out to patrol the area to ensure safety.

"Hey, Captain Luofu! I'm here to add some food to you," Lan Jie shouted from a distance to a bonfire.

Hearing Lan Jie's voice, a group of guards immediately cast curious glances. A bald warrior who was a little tall but very strong, wearing a knight's armor and with a noble family crest on his chest turned around and saw that it was Lan Jie immediately showed a smile and said hello: "Hey! Isn't this my brother Lan Jie! So polite! Come and sit down!"

Lu Lin looked at the soldier's bald head, and then at Lan Jie's bald head.

Ok……

I feel like I suddenly understand why these two people are so in tune with each other.

Lan Jie put down the pot of chicken soup, and the guards immediately gathered around them. They were all hungry, and the things they cooked on the fire were not cooked well. Now that there was something cooked, everyone seemed to come to ask for some. bowl.

Lan Jie first scooped a bowl for Captain Luo Fu, and then divided it among them casually.

Captain Luo Fu led a few people to a tree a little further away, sat down cross-legged, took a sip of soup, and breathed out: "Huh, this soup tastes really good, thank you, Brother Lanjie, tell me Well, you must have something to do with me, right? Do you want your position to be higher in the team?"

"Huh? Can you arrange this?" Lan Jie said in surprise, he really didn't expect this.

"It's okay, but I don't recommend it," Captain Luo Fu said. "If someone finds out, you will be the target of public criticism... But if you say this, does it mean that you are not here for this?"

"Indeed not," Lan Jie said, patted Lu Lin on the shoulder and said, "Let me introduce, this is my boss, his name is Lu Lin."

"Well, hello, Brother Lu Lin," Captain Luo Fu nodded to Lu Lin, then looked at Lu Lin's clothes and smiled, "Very unique clothes."

"Haha, thank you," Lu Lin smiled, "Hello, Captain Luo Fu."

"Does this mean you have something to tell me?" Captain Luo Fu asked.

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded, "Today when I was observing the surroundings on top of the Earth Dragon, I noticed a strange figure hiding in the shadows."

"Strange shadow?" Captain Luofu raised an eyebrow, "What kind of thing?"

"A wolf shadow, completely black, not like an entity, it should be some kind of energy body," Lu Lin said, "I saw it, it must have noticed me, and then disappeared, and I was confused all day long. I kept looking, but never saw it again.”

"So evil?" A guard soldier on the side who heard their conversation interjected, "Isn't it because you are dazzled? For example, what you actually saw was the shadow of a tree or something?"

"No," Lu Lin shook his head and said, "Brothers have their own abilities. If the ordinary light and shadow are mistaken, that's all. I can't possibly miss that weird energy."

"Captain, what do you think?" The soldier looked at Luo Fe.

At this moment, Luofu frowned. After a long moment, he said, "You must have read it wrong. After all, we have just left the city. There is no reason to bump into the Warcraft so quickly..."

"Now, I'll just say it," the soldier shrugged.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Luo Fu continue: "If you saw another shadow, I would definitely say what I just said, but..."

When everyone heard it, they were all taken aback.

"But?" Lan Jie asked.

"But if it is a wolf shadow, then the situation is different," Luo Fu said solemnly, "Few people know that in the dungeon ahead, all that have appeared so far are various monsters that look like wolf dogs, and... before You also know that there is news in the city that the previous team was seriously injured?"

"Actually, I was the one who spread the news, because the person who received the news was me."

"And the message I received mentioned what you said, the black wolf shadow..."

Chapter 76 They are not brainless beasts, but intelligent enemies.

"Captain, did you spread that news?" The soldier on the side was stunned, "Then captain, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I can't say," Captain Luo Fu said helplessly, "I am the only one who knows about this matter, but I am the guard captain. If I say this, those people will only think that I want them to pay more. So I can only spread the news and let them make trouble. When the trouble is over, I will mention it to them and then tell them that the source of the news is unknown, but the credibility is not low. It is a pity that it almost succeeded."

"Wait, Captain Luofu, do you know something?" Lu Lin asked.

"Well," Captain Roff nodded, "The captain of the previous team was named Kulm, and he was a very good friend of mine. After he got there, he sent me a letter as soon as possible, saying that they were in In the forest, they encountered a stronger attack than before. However, in just a few days, they fought against swarms of monsters more than ten times, and they were still being pursued until they arrived at the guard area of ​​​​the next city. The reason... …”

Captain Luo said this, turned to look at Lu Lin, and said in a deep voice: "He also mentioned what you just said, the black wolf shadow that follows you..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a chill.

The soldiers on the side almost dropped the half-eaten cake in their hands.

"Wait, that means that those group of monsters are already targeting us now?" the soldier said in astonishment, "Their scope of influence is so wide?"

"Speaking of this... I have been paying attention to one thing when measuring the scope of influence of this dungeon before," Captain Rove said. "The standard for measuring the scope of influence of this dungeon has always been based on the records of World of Warcraft activities. To determine where the monsters have been active farthest, that place will be regarded as the limit of their influence."

"It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong?" Lan Jie asked doubtfully.

"No, there is a problem," Captain Rove said. "According to the existing data, the records of World of Warcraft activities that currently determine the boundaries of the affected area are all records of attacks on armed caravans, and every time they are attacked, they are encountered at the beginning. Large-scale attacks, because armed caravans have a large target, so not many people care about this, but..."

"It's broken, I won't understand anymore," the soldier on the side twitched his lips.

"Captain Luofu wants to say that even if a monster can launch a large-scale attack, it must be purposeful and organized," Lu Lin glanced at the soldier and said, "It also takes time for the monster to assemble a team and set out from its lair. It also takes time to intercept the caravan. It is impossible for them to suddenly gather together the moment the caravan steps into the border of their territory, and then teleport directly to the caravan's face."

"Smart!" Captain Luo Fe gave a thumbs up to Lu Lin. "That's the problem. They have to discover us first, then gather their troops, and then rush towards us, and finally the two sides will collide."

"In other words, the area they can actually monitor is much wider than what most people think now. It might even cover the city gate," Lu Lin frowned. "Hell, then what I saw is theirs." Eyes, that is to say, they may have completed their assembly now and are coming towards us."

"But... this is actually not much different from usual, right?" Lan Jie suddenly said, "Didn't they do this before? It's just that no one noticed it, but the caravans in the past also passed safely, right?"

"You forget, the last team was not very safe," Lu Lin said.

"Ah, yes," Lan Jie suddenly realized.

"The most important thing is that the previous team encountered the monster the fastest and experienced the longest pursuit. This has never happened before," Captain Luo Fu said. "This wolf shadow may not always be there. Or, even if there were in the past, the Warcraft swarm is definitely not as strong as it is now. Damn it, I have to talk to the people from the big chamber of commerce. If I don’t return to increase the number of troops this time, I will definitely end up like the last time! Thank you everyone. News, please go back and rest first, I will notify you of news later."

After that, Captain Luofu saluted everyone like a family military salute, and then left.

Lu Lin looked at Captain Luo Fu's back and touched his chin.

To be honest, this result was a bit beyond his expectation.

Originally, he did not expect that his two words would attract the attention of such a large caravan. Now it seems that Captain Roff is a very reliable warrior.

Moreover, the enemy was more difficult than Lu Lin thought at the beginning. Before, he had thought that he could survive as long as he could with the large army, but he couldn't survive anymore, so he left the large army as bait and relied on himself to refine it. A potion called "Bloodthorn Flower Atomized Violence Potion" accelerated the earth dragon and rushed directly out of the area of ​​influence.

But now it seems that this plan is not feasible.

This kind of potion can at most support a short-term charge. Since the opponents are almost all wolf-type monsters that are agile and good at chasing, and the range of influence is so huge, it will not be easy for him to escape from the golden cicada's shell.

"Boss, what should I do?" Lan Jie asked.

"Let's go back and wait for the news," Lu Lin said. "I just hope that Captain Luo Fu can persuade those guys to return and expand the army, and then set off again."

"What if Captain Rove can't persuade them?" Lan Jie asked.
