Lord of Arcane

Chapter 224 Strange Bone Stick
Summoning the water flow, Xia Duo controlled the water flow to scour the surface of the bone stick at a high speed. In a moment, a bone stick that was much cleaner and could already see the original pale color appeared in front of him.

"This is not a human bone!"

Xia Duo immediately made a judgment. Humans do not have such long bones. The longest bone in humans should be the femur, or the thigh bone.

But a little comparison shows that the femur is almost as long as the forearm, but this bone is nearly as long as Xia Duo's entire arm!

With Xia Duo's knowledge, it is still impossible to judge where this bone is, let alone some kind of creature.

Judging from the leg bones of a humanoid creature, this creature should be much taller than the goblin bear killed by Xia Duo before!

Putting away this bone, Xia Duo was going to ask Captain Owen to take it back and find someone to identify it. Anyway, it is useless for him to take this bone for the time being.

There may be mysterious creatures within the territory, which made Xia Duo worry about the future development.

He casually summoned a ball of positive energy light, which was suspended in mid-air. On the other side, Gibb's killing had come to an end. There were only more than 30 goblins in total, and most of them were paralyzed on the ground.

The few who can stand have already been scared out of their wits, as long as the few who can still run are dealt with first, the rest is simply to repeat the action.

Soon, Gibb ran over with excitement in his voice, "My lord, all the goblins have been dealt with, and no one has escaped!"

He has never cleaned up the goblins as easily as today, and he has not had to chase them for a long time. Even so, it is difficult to clean them up every time. It is common for a few goblins to take advantage of the loopholes and run away.

"Okay, let's go back first, I'm busy tomorrow!"

Xia Duo manipulated the ball of positive energy to sweep across the corpses to dispel the negative energy that had begun to emanate. With so many fresh corpses piled up together, unfavorable changes are prone to occur.

Fortunately, there are no tall trees to shade the sun here, maybe nothing will happen when the sun comes out tomorrow, but Xia Duo is still a little more cautious, it's just a spell.

"Close the team! Go back!" Gibb shouted.

"Here we come!" The other team members responded and gathered together one by one.

After Xia Duo had dealt with all the corpses, and attached a ball of light to the tip of Gibb's spear, he said:

"go!"

……

On the other side, the landing point on the river bank.

Temporary squad leader Simon was holding the spear, his palms already soaked with oil and sweat, and he was staring at the direction where Xia Duo and the first team left, with a nervous expression on his face.

The sky has already darkened, but the lord has not returned yet.What is the delay?Or something unexpected?
Just as he was thinking wildly, Simon rubbed his eyes suddenly, and a light spot appeared in the bushes in front of him. It didn't look like a torch, but it looked like magic!
"The lord is back!" Simon shouted.

At this time, an active team member immediately pulled out a piece of firewood from the bonfire, walked into the bushes, and at the same time shouted:
"My lord, my lord, Qiao Qi will guide you!"

The other team members also moved their minds, but Simon shouted loudly: "Don't move, stay alert! Qiao Qi is back!"

He is worried that he doesn't know how to express himself!
And Qiao Qi had already seen the light spots in the bushes getting closer, but he didn't dare to ignore Simon's order, so he could only retreat unwillingly.

The voices from their side passed through layers of bushes and shrubs, and when they reached Xia Duo, only vague human voices remained.

But seeing the bonfire right in front of them, the people on Xia Duo's side consciously quickened their pace without ordering, but Xia Duo was fine, the [Mage Armor] was always there, even if they wiped the branches beside the temporary trail. It doesn't matter.

But others felt a little uncomfortable. From time to time, someone was hit in the face by the branches on both sides and let out an exclamation.

"Slow down, there are no monsters chasing you!"

Hearing what Xia Duo said, everyone slowed down their pace, but at this time they were already close to the landing point. Under the reflection of the bonfire, the members of Simon's team who were scattered around and guarded were clearly visible.

And Simon has already greeted him with a torch, "My lord, nothing happened at the landing site, and all supplies have been moved off the ship."

"Yeah." Xia Duo glanced at the few simple wooden boxes stacked on the wooden boards, and he noticed that the wooden boards were suspended in the air, and they might be padded with stones.

He nodded in satisfaction and ordered, "Everyone get on board and rest on board tonight."

Xia Duo, who was walking behind, rearranged the [Magic Alarm] here to ensure that it would last until tomorrow morning before returning to the ship.

Gibb and others at the bottom took back the springboard after boarding the boat.

……

As soon as he boarded the ship, Xia Duo first set up a [magic alarm] on the ship, and then came to the captain's room, biting bread and dried meat, while flipping through the spell notes.

It is a rare pleasure to serve food with knowledge.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Xia Duo already knew who it was, and instead of getting up, he opened the door with an invisible hand.

"My lord?" The person who came was exactly Captain Owen who had been ordered by Xia Duo to come over after dinner.

"Look at that bone, can you recognize what kind of creature it is?" Xia Duo asked, pointing to the bone stick on a cabinet behind the door.

On the way back, he had already asked Gibb, but none of the veterans in that team could tell what kind of animal bone it was, and now Owen, the experienced old captain, was missing.

If Owen doesn't know, he can only send it to Savile Town for consultation.

Owen turned around and picked up the bone on the cabinet, and made some gestures on his body. Finally, he had to shake his head and give up, put the bone back in its original place, and said embarrassingly:

"My lord, old Owen doesn't know what kind of creature's bones this is, but I think the owner of this thing must be a big man."

Xia Duo also sighed. Fortunately, he didn't expect an ordinary person to have much knowledge of bone identification, so he said, "Take that bone back and give it to Mrs. Patty, and let her send it to the Mage Tower for consultation. Go and rest."

"Yes, my lord." Owen responded and withdrew.

If there is no accident, this matter should be on Kaili in the end, but I don't know if he can find someone to tell the difference!

……

Nothing happened all night, the next day, Xia Duo woke up early, put away the two magic scrolls made last night, took his belongings, and walked out of the captain's room.

A night watch soldier saluted immediately, and on the front deck, there were two more night watch soldiers whispering one after another, but when they saw Xia Duo, they immediately stopped talking.

"Don't be nervous, go wake up the others!"

At this moment, the sky is not completely bright yet, but these people don't need sleep more than a mage like him, Xia Duo ordered without hesitation.

The soldiers returned to the cabin immediately after hearing the order.

After a while, there was a commotion in the cabin, and when everyone came to the deck, Xia Duo was already checking supplies on the shore.
