Intermittent Tracking

Two hours later.

Stronghold lobby.

The twenty-two wizard apprentices from the three major academies who plan to enter the Norman Secret Realm are now ready in the hall, waiting for the arrival of the commander, wizard Gildarts.

Two middle-aged men with almost identical faces suddenly walked into the hall.

If it weren't for the fact that the two men differed in height by nearly half a head, it would be impossible to tell them apart just by looking at their appearance.

Suddenly, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

All twenty-two apprentices stopped whispering and looked at the strange scene before them.

The shorter one, with an extremely powerful aura, was obviously the official wizard Gildarts.

As for the other tall "Gildarts Wizard", judging only by his aura, he seemed to be slightly below a formal wizard, but also seemed to have exceeded the limit of a wizard apprentice.

This is Gildarts's clone, and the body of the clone comes from an extremely rare dark werewolf tribe chief.

This body of the Dark Werewolf Chief not only possesses the transformation ability of an ordinary dark werewolf, but also has a higher resistance to shadow and more innate abilities.

This body's resistance to shadow witchcraft has reached a terrifying level!

It can be said that ordinary level zero shadow magic hitting this body would probably only cause some scratches on the skin and a few hairs to fall off.

Even the first-level shadow sorcery can only cause minor injuries to this body!

Furthermore, since Gildarts acquired this body, he has gone a step further and made careful physical modifications to it.

Gildarts considered that the clone was mainly used to cooperate with the original body in battle, so he further strengthened the clone's attack power.

He reshaped and implanted the Demon-Breaking Blade, a sharp blade made of the rare metal Demon Iron, into the pair of indestructible claws of the Dark Werewolf Chief.

For ordinary elemental shields, there is a terrifying special effect of penetrating with one strike!

In addition, there are two innate sorcery spells of the Dark Werewolf Chieftain - Clumsiness and Frenzy.

Gildarts really couldn't think of any enemy in the Norman Secret Realm that could defeat him!

Was it an indigenous monster in the core area of ​​the Secret Realm that had the strength of a first-level wizard?

After

Gildarts thought about it for a while, he smiled slightly.

What's more, he has an ultimate killer move. He believes that even if he encounters an opponent with the strength of a formal wizard, he can retreat calmly.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Let's go!"

"As you command! Lord Gildarts!"

I saw his clone leading the way, followed closely by twenty-two elite wizard apprentices fully armed.

The group of people stepped into the teleportation array one by one!

As Gildarts waved his right hand, the huge teleportation array burst into a dazzling blue light!

In an instant, a total of 23 people, including his clone, disappeared without a trace.

-

Stephanie looked at Richard curiously and took out a pendant from her bosom. It was shaped like a kingfisher and was emerald green. It was made of a whole piece of peridot.

Peridot is considered a precious gemstone among ordinary people, but in the eyes of wizards, it is as ordinary as a gold dinar.

But the original owner of this kingfisher pendant means something special to Richard.

Some time ago, his relationship with senior Meiluo progressed rapidly, and this kingfisher pendant was a gift from Meiluo.

To Richard, it has a special meaning.

He lightly touched the Kingfisher Pendant and released a tracking spell.

A bright light appeared on the kingfisher pendant, as if the kingfisher made of emerald green peridot suddenly came to life, floating in the air and slowly flying to the left.

Richard was delighted!

The tracking technique worked!

Richard's tracking technique came from the three Spider Knights. He combined the memories of the three people and deduced all the witchcraft runes and witchcraft models of the tracking technique, and reached the entry level.

You should know that most of the Demon Spider Knights were elite among ordinary night elf warriors before they became official Demon Spider Knights.

Most of these elites have been awarded the title of "Shadow Hunter" and are skilled in archery, tracking and combat.

Richard finally understood why they were nicknamed Shadow Hunters.

It was because of this famous tracking technique.

Suddenly, the kingfisher pendant stopped and buzzed in the air. Richard stretched out his hand in confusion.

The kingfisher pendant immediately lost its strange luster and fell into Richard's hand.

"Hey! It responded at the beginning, but after a while it became untraceable. Weird!"

Cast a tracking spell again.

fail!

Richard refused to believe it and used the tracking technique three times in a row.

fail!

fail!

success!

The kingfisher pendant regained its strange luster, floated in the air, and continued to fly slowly forward.

However, after a while, the tracking technique failed again!

The kingfisher pendant fell into Richard's hands again.

This made Richard frown, and he thought to himself, could it be that his control of the tracking technique was too low?

He called up the inspiration panel, and the [Witchcraft] column showed: Tracking (beginner 3%).

[I discovered that the host is practicing the zero-level witchcraft tracking technique. Do you want to consume energy and gain inspiration to practice the zero-level witchcraft tracking technique? ]

Richard dragged the slider to 10,000 without hesitation and selected "Yes!"

The world was spinning, and Richard's soul was dragged into a dream. He possessed an illusory figure and began to practice tracking skills again and again.

After hundreds and thousands of times

, Richard's soul returned to his body!

He called up the inspiration panel again and saw that the [Witchcraft] column showed: Tracking (Grandmaster 23%).

Although it has not reached the limit, it is obviously enough. Richard did not spend energy points again to improve the tracking skill.

Instead, he once again used his master-level tracking technique on the kingfisher pendant.

Sure enough, this time it was much easier to perform, and the brilliance of the kingfisher pendant was even more intense.

Richard and Stephana followed the kingfisher pendant and moved forward.

But within a few minutes, the kingfisher pendant suddenly vibrated again, and after a burst of light, it fell weakly into Richard's palm.

This puzzled Richard!

If the tracking technique was intermittent before, it was because his control level was too low.

But now his tracking skills have reached the Grandmaster level, surpassing most shadow hunters. There is no reason for this kind of intermittent tracking to happen.

Moreover, if the tracking had been shown as a failure at the beginning, it would have meant that Senior Sister Meiluo might have met with misfortune, but now at least the tracking technique was successful for a short period of time.

From this point of view, there is only one possibility!

First of all, the person being tracked is most likely alive!

This made Richard feel certain.

Secondly, the person being tracked should currently be in a relatively special location, which has a shielding effect against witchcraft from time to time.

Richard concentrated on thinking. If he couldn't locate accurately, he wouldn't be able to find senior sister Meiluo in the first place.

He used the tracking technique several times again, but this time there was no response at all!

This gave Richard a headache.

However, Richard had memorized the direction in which the tracking technique had led when it was initially successful.

At present, it seems that I can only search in this direction, and then use the tracking skill from time to time to try my luck!

——On

the other hand, Meiluo and Ophelia are now going in and out of the small hidden witch formation, collecting some edible plant fruits, and intend to fight a protracted war in this area!

After all, in terms of strength, Meiluo is relatively weaker, so even if they join forces, they can hardly defeat a Demon Spider Knight in a head-on battle.

So, the two of them discussed it and decided to stay here for a while and see how the situation develops.

In this case, water is not a problem near the waterfall, but food is still a bit of a problem.

The last time Ophelia returned to the daily supplies point, she wanted to buy some food, salt and other daily necessities. However, she never expected that the supply point would be attacked, and her purchasing plan naturally fell through.

The food that Meiluo had with her was almost completely consumed during her escape, but there was still a little bit of seasonings such as salt.

Therefore, the food problem became the first problem that the two had to solve.

However, collecting food is definitely not difficult for the two wizard apprentices. It is just a little troublesome and requires many trips back and forth to collect or hunt.

If Richard were present at this moment, he would surely understand.

It turned out that Senior Meiluo was going in and out of the small hidden magic formation, no wonder his tracking skills were intermittent.

——In

the dense forest near the core area of ​​the Norman Secret Realm, a hooded man in a gray robe appeared out of nowhere.

He carefully observed his surroundings, and after a few seconds, his expression became much more relaxed. He casually fired a shadow shock and killed a foolish spiny snake.

You know, the spiny snake is a very difficult monster.

Normally, a second-level wizard apprentice would be troubled if they encountered this, but now he was killed easily.

Hidden beneath the hood was a sinister face.

Judging from his facial features, this is none other than Robert, a wizard apprentice of the highest level from the Ignis School.

The team he joined this time was the Ring of Noth team, which was invited by his good friend Donato and had Gildarts's clone as the captain.

It is also the team with the largest number of people among the first 23 people who entered. At the same time, due to the existence of Gildarts' clone, it is also the strongest team.

Robert took out the orb from his arms, and then quickly moved forward a distance in different directions.

He discovered that the light of the orb would become slightly brighter as he moved in front of him and to the left behind him.

Obviously, there must be other members of their team in these two directions.

This made him look happy. It seemed that the things that the wizard Gildarts gave them were also useful in the secret realm.

The holder of a gem can quickly determine the approximate location of other gem holders in the secret realm.

However, what made him hesitate was that the orbs in both directions were sensing each other, so which side should he go to first?

At this time, a slight sound of weapons clashing came from the dense forest not far away.

After a moment's thought, Robert quickly sped towards the source of the sound. As the sound became clearer, he gradually slowed down and moved forward silently.

Through the gaps in the dense vegetation, one could see a man and a woman, two students wearing Ignis School apprentice robes, struggling to resist a Demon Spider Knight and his companion Demon Spider.

If the male apprentice did not have a contracted creature, the swamp spiny turtle, which blocked most of the damage, the two of them would have been defeated long ago.

But judging from the cat-playing-with-mouse smile on the Spider Knight's face, he was obviously able to handle the situation with ease.

There seemed to be only one Demon Spider Knight, but for the sake of caution, Robert still walked around the area to check again.

Confirming that there was only one person!

Immediately, Robert waved his hand and whispered a quick spell. The soil in front of him rolled and a huge clay creature over two and a half meters tall was constructed.

This clay creature, which looks very similar to a human, is a level 0 witchcraft among earth-based witchcraft, which is also considered to be extremely difficult to perform - summoning a clay troll.

At this moment, the Demon Spider Knight also immediately sensed the powerful elemental energy fluctuations coming from the dense forest on his side, and his face changed immediately.

Suddenly, a huge clay troll broke through the dense vegetation and rushed towards him with big strides!

"Boom boom boom!"

The momentum is extremely powerful!

The Spider Knight's expression changed drastically!

The two apprentices, a man and a woman, were delighted, thinking to themselves, we are saved!

Immediately, they also stepped up their offensive, trying to hold back the companion demon spider.

"Slowdown!"

"Weakness technique!"

"Fear spell!"

"Shadow Shock!"

"Earth Spike!" Robert cast five level zero spells in succession.

The spider knight's movements became slower and slower. After being hit by Robert's fear spell, he was finally hit in the chest by a shadow shock and screamed!

But this is not over yet!

There were more than ten continuous sharp spikes, which made it impossible for the Demon Spider Knight to avoid them. He had to endure this powerful witchcraft attack! He

was hit by several spikes and was severely injured. He lay on the ground and could hardly move. The sharp spikes had made fist-sized holes in his abdomen and thighs, and blood was gushing out.

At this time, the clay troll rushed forward without hesitation and punched hard, ending the fight!

The two apprentices of the Ignis School, a man and a woman, were breathing heavily at this time, with happy expressions on their faces. They thought they were dead this time, but they didn't expect to survive.

But when the two saw Robert walking out of the dense forest, the male apprentice's face changed drastically after seeing his face: "Earth Demon Robert! You are Earth Demon Robert!! I should have thought of it earlier."

The female apprentice was puzzled when she saw her boyfriend's terrified expression. Didn't the other party save her and her boyfriend? Why...

Robert stared at the female apprentice with his venomous eyes and looked her up and down. He said sinisterly: "She is really good-looking. As a thank you, shouldn't you two pay a price?"

The beautiful female apprentice also noticed something was wrong and said immediately: "We don't have many magic stones to thank you. We only have 400 to 500 magic stones in total. If it's not enough, we have more to collect here."

Robert shook his head and said, "Stop! How can my one move be so cheap! Come here, accompany me once, and let's just forget about it."

"Otherwise, I will break all the bones in your boyfriend's body, and then hehe!"

The female apprentice felt humiliated when she heard this, but the other party's powerful mental fluctuations and the momentum that easily dealt with the Demon Spider Knight made her unable to resist.

If you refuse, the other party will really do this!

"Sasha, run!!!" The male apprentice shouted with a determined look after obviously struggling internally.

"Shut up!" The huge clay troll was not slow at all. It quickly grabbed the male apprentice with both hands and lifted him up high!
