Chapter 195 Encounter
"Okay, okay, I got it." Sadie stuck out her tongue and went into the woods on the side to be on guard.
Asuna sighed, took out a map and looked at it.
The Limu Mountain Range is so large, and there are only four of them, so it is almost impossible to search them all.
If you want to find relevant clues quickly, you need some methods.
Asuna looked at the map in deep thought, drawing a few circles with a quill on it.
One circle is the usual patrol area of the missing mountain patrol team, and the other circles are Asuna's estimated positions.
These locations are the approximate locations where Asuna was when she disappeared based on the patrol time of the mountain patrol team.
The border army's mountain patrol teams all have fixed times for entering the mountains. By comparing the time of entering the mountains with the approximate time of disappearance, and then looking at the patrol route, you can get several approximate possible missing locations.
The missing location is where the team encountered danger. The probability of finding clues by searching in such a place is obviously much higher.
There are several such locations, and Asuna plans to visit these locations first, eliminate them one by one, and then go to other places to look for clues.
The progress through the forest was very slow, and it wasn't until dusk and sunset that Asuna and the others finally entered the interior of the Lim Mountains.
Asuna continued to look at the map and calculated the date.
If we were to search all these locations, it would take about seven or eight days.
It's slow, but there's no way.
In the vast mountains, it is impossible to conduct a blanket search.
Not enough manpower and not enough time.
After sunset.
Asuna and the four of them found a sheltered place and planned to rest here tonight.
You can't run around in the mountains at night, it's very dangerous.
The bonfire was lit, and Asuna and the holy magician sat around the fire.
Sadie was handling a freshly caught rabbit with a dagger. The warrior was sitting on the outside, watching what was going on outside.
She said while handling the rabbit: "Asuna, we have been walking for a whole day and found nothing. We don't know where the group went."
"I don't know either. I can only see if I can find some traces tomorrow."
Asuna didn't find any residual magic energy today. She didn't know if it was because it had dissipated in the past, or if it hadn't been discovered yet.
"Others don't seem to have found anything, and I don't know if we can find it." Sadie shook her head and said.
They met some other adventurers during the day, and there was no conflict.
Everyone comes here for the same purpose, which is to find clues about the missing team.
No one will take action casually until there is no benefit to fight for.
With the configuration of Asuna's team, ordinary adventurers can't afford to offend her.
Half an hour later, several people were roasting rabbit around the fire.
Asuna suddenly stood up and looked into the distance.
"Asuna, what's wrong?" Sadie asked.
Everyone in front of these people became serious. Asuna was so nervous. Something must have happened.
Asuna's perception has always been very keen, and her sense of danger is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Now Asuna's expression actually showed a hint of panic, which had to send chills down the backs of several people.
For Asuna to show such an expression, it means something serious must have happened.
Asuna took a deep breath, calmed down, and adjusted her breathing: "Over there, there are very strong magic fluctuations and a strong magic aura."
She pointed at the dark mountains in the distance, and Shadi and the others had no sense at all.
"Abandon this mission and leave now!" Asuna made a decisive decision.
"Huh? Give up?" Sadie was a little confused.
This task is very rewarding, so I'm not willing to give up like this.
And even if we want to leave now, is it too urgent to go now? It is also dangerous to rush at night.
Asuna explained: "The magic aura over there is most likely a mid-level spell caster, or even a high-level spell caster. It is not something that our abilities can mix with."
"The danger that the missing team encountered is probably beyond everyone's imagination. We must leave as soon as possible. Even if we encounter monsters on the way back, it is better than encountering high-level spellcasters."
When she said this, several others quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.
High-level spellcaster?
In the eyes of Shadi and others, Asuna is already a very powerful spell caster.
But a spell caster like her is only at the level of a spell caster apprentice.
They have never seen many official spell casters, let alone high-level spell casters.
That is simply a legendary existence.
Now this kind of existence is in the mountains over there. When Shadi and others thought of this, their hearts were in their throats, and they wanted to teleport away from the Limu Mountains immediately.
Several people put out the bonfire directly without waiting for the rabbit to be cooked, packed up their things and rushed back immediately.
Over the years, Asuna's judgment has always been accurate.
Shadi and the others don't have too much doubt about Asuna's judgment. They always trust and execute it.
Several people began to walk back in the dark, a little faster than when they came during the day.
It was relatively leisurely when I came here, but now I am running for my life.
After they got used to the darkness in the mountains and forests, walking was not difficult.
Their physical fitness is relatively good and they can see clearly even at night.
"Good evening, everyone." Several people suddenly heard a voice behind them. When they looked back, they saw a black-haired man standing on the tree behind them, looking here with a smile.
The moment Asuna saw Herague, her pupils dilated instantly and her mouth opened in horror. Then she covered her mouth with her hands, showing an expression of extreme horror.
"Asuna! Asuna! What's wrong!" Sadie noticed Asuna's abnormality for the first time.
This black-haired man looks ordinary and has done nothing. Why does Asuna have such an expression?
At this moment, in Asuna's eyes, the black-haired man's magic power was comparable to that of an intermediate spellcaster.
The most important thing is that the blood power in the black-haired man in front of him is terrifyingly powerful.
Asuna can see the strength of other people's bloodline, and most people will have some red shimmer in their bodies.
Stronger knights will have some red shimmer on their bodies.
The stronger knights will have some red shimmer lingering all over their bodies.
The person with the strongest bloodline power Asuna had ever seen was an elf. That elf's whole body was covered in a layer of red mist, which meant that his bloodline power was very powerful.
But these were nothing compared to the black-haired man in front of him.
The red light on the black-haired man could almost be said to be a sea of blood, forming a tsunami wave that reached the sky.
Asuna looked up and saw the red blood light that almost covered the entire night sky.
And, in the red light, there is a black human-shaped shadow. This human-shaped creature has a pair of bat-like wings behind it, but it is wider and larger than the bat wings.
This is a sight Asuna has never seen before. She has never seen anyone's vision presented by the power of blood have such a thing.
