Chapter 57: Just the Beginning
Chapter 57: Just the Beginning
……
The battle with the Black Feather Crow was considered a victory.
Although Wei Xiang was worried, he appeared to be very happy.
No matter what, now is the time to enjoy the joy of victory. Even if he has a lot of worries, he cannot show them at this time.
"Captain of the Guard, we won!" A young guard mage forced a smile, and seeing Wei Xiang's injuries, he wanted to go over and support him.
"No, I'm not at that point yet." Wei Xiang waved his hand and turned around to walk away.
"Yeah, we won!"
Everyone was naturally very happy after winning the battle, but the death of their comrades was also very sad. With a mixture of sadness and joy, there was nothing worth celebrating.
"Don't let your guard down, come on, send out two teams to patrol and prevent the Black-Feathered Crows from making a comeback. The smell of blood is too strong and may attract other monsters!" Big Black Beard shouted loudly. After the fierce battle, he was still alive and well and could even shout loudly.
"Everyone else should also stay here, go clean up the battlefield, collect the bodies, and clean up all the bloodstains!"
Wei Xiang walked over and patted the bearded man on the shoulder.
The big black bearded man saw Wei Xiang and was about to give him a bear hug, but Wei Xiang had a broken arm and pushed him away.
"Boss, go get some treatment first!"
He was a little worried.
"It's okay. I'll go pick up my friends who are coming for support. You take care of this here." Wei Xiang shook his head. There were still some things he needed to do.
"Captain Wei, nice to meet you!"
“Nothing, nothing.” Wei Xiang waved his right hand and said, “Thanks to the great help from all the mages this time, otherwise the mining area would be in danger!”
What followed was nothing more than a mutual greeting, but at this time it was enough to just say a few words to each other. Wei Xiang took a few people back with one arm and went to heal his wounds first.
Mo Yingge came back "quietly". The scene where she used intermediate magic to attack her servants was seen by many people. What can be said?
The sense of shock was indeed achieved, but it was a bit wasted.
She even felt a little embarrassed when she realized it later.
The old wizard from the Magic Association even praised her: "You are really young and promising!"
Mo Yingge blushed slightly. Although she knew that the other person would not speak in a sarcastic way, why did it sound so uncomfortable?
"It's too much praise, not worth mentioning."
The old wizard admired her more and more. It was not easy to find such a humble young person nowadays. He didn't know if he could bring her to the Magic Association.
Twirling his beard, the old wizard suddenly had an idea.
The bodies of the human mage and the black-feathered crow were covered in blood. The black-feathered crow's blood was slightly black and emitted a foul smell.
"Damn it, why is this blood of the bird turning black? It stinks so bad. Let's collect the bodies of our brothers first!"
"There's something wrong with these black-feathered crows!" The old wizard was a native of Ancheng and had spent half his life in the Luofeng Mountains. Entering the mountains was as familiar to him as going home. He was very familiar with the black-feathered crows.
This is a very "weak" monster, and being able to fly is their only advantage. In the past few decades, even the general-level monsters were hard to find, but now there are commander-level monsters.
To be honest, when he first heard that a large group of generals and even black-feathered crows that seemed to be commanders would appear, he thought it was a joke, but what he saw now turned out to be true.
The old wizard knows a lot. He didn't pay much attention to the battle before. Now he takes a closer look and combines it with the previous abnormality. "Why does it feel like a mixture of curse and shadow, a bit like..."
Suddenly the old wizard couldn't continue speaking. His face changed drastically and his chest felt tight. The people next to him hurriedly supported him.
"What's wrong with you? Are you not hurt? Go and rest first!"
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine. Take me to find Guard Captain Wei Xiang! Quick!"
The people around him didn't understand what was going on, but they acted decisively. They found a mage to lead the way and found Wei Xiang who was recovering from his injuries in the infirmary.
"What's wrong? Is there anything?"
Although it was very rude for a few people to barge in, Wei Xiang didn't care. He keenly noticed the old wizard's expression. What happened again? !
The old mage winked at him, and Wei Xiang immediately understood and said, "You go back first."
"Is there anything urgent?"
"Captain Wei, we may be in big trouble!" The old wizard said as soon as he came up, "I found that the Black Feather Crow's unusual behavior this time may be planned by someone behind the scenes."
"Planning?" Wei Xiang was furious. If it was a natural disaster, it would be fine, but if it was a man-made disaster, "Who would dare to do this?!"
"I believe you also know that normally Black Feather Crow would have a general at best, but now a commander suddenly appears. This is unreasonable in the first place."
“Well, I know this too. But the leader of the black-feathered crows seems to be extremely mutated. In addition to looking like a black-feathered crow, it has all kinds of weird abilities. I had to risk my life to take it down.” Wei Xiang gestured to his broken arm and smiled bitterly.
"It does take some energy for demons to advance, and the magic stones here are obviously the most attractive to them. But have you ever thought that the mutation of the Black Feather Crow was not natural, but man-made!"
"Impossible, who would do such a thing, who can do such a thing?!" Wei Xiang stood up directly.
"If only the commander-level black-feathered crow was like this, I would just be jumping to conclusions. However, after the battle, all the black-feathered crow corpses showed a reaction to black magic. The stench of that mixture of curses and shadows was really..." The old wizard couldn't go on, his face becoming paler.
"Are you talking about... that?" Wei Xiang sat down. If it was really the work of that group of anti-human lunatics, then nothing unreasonable would matter.
But even so, things are far from over.
In fact, this may just be the beginning.
"Huh~ Don't spread the news for now. It hasn't been confirmed yet. It would be bad if other people knew about it." After a long silence, Wei Xiang spoke with difficulty. He still needed to digest it.
After the old wizard left, Wei Xiang remained silent for a long time, as if he suddenly remembered something, and quickly stood up.
"Hello, this is Wei Xiang, let me pick up Huang Yan, I have something to say." The mine naturally has communication equipment to keep in touch with Anfeng City, but the fluctuations of this kind of modern magic civilization creation can easily attract monsters. When it was surrounded by black-feathered crows before, the signal was blocked and the phone could not be reached.
"What?!!"
Before Wei Xiang finished speaking, he heard bad news coming from the other end of the phone.
A large number of demons suddenly appeared outside Anfeng City!
"Ouch~~~~"
The roar of demons could be heard faintly from a far distance.
