Lord of Arcane

Chapter 61 Negative Energy

Next, Xado casted all the spells he thought could be used on creatures, and then quit the spellcasting concentration state, picked up the skinning knife that had not been returned before, and killed the injured goblin with his own hands.

Watching each fragile life disappear from his hands, from the very uncomfortable at first to the habit of later, Xia Duo felt quite emotional.

Before crossing, he hadn't even killed a chicken, and now he has been able to kill every life without changing his face.

It really is the environment that makes people!
Since the recruits were all using spears to fight, and they were not proficient in the first actual combat, most of these goblins were killed by Shado except for the ones who were shot at first.

However, having experienced the feeling of personally sending a spear into the enemy's body, these recruits have also received a good experience. Xia Duo can feel that they have begun to gradually transform from peasants to soldiers.

After a battle, even though Xia Duo just chopped down the injured goblins, he was still exhausted, and the black iron spears of the recruits must be even more tired.

The key is a change in mentality, which requires a process of adjustment.

"All recruits, rest for a while! Drink some water! Jessie, keep two of you around, and the others rest for a while."

After speaking, Xia Duo found a slightly flat place to sit nearby, and the others began to rest in an orderly manner when they heard the order.

Some of the recruits sat directly on the goblin corpse, while others disliked the smell and found a tree trunk to sit against.

When the veterans went out to be vigilant, someone found dry firewood and leaves, built a fire, and roasted some of the wolf meat that had been cut before.

Completely disregarding the scattered goblin corpses around, it was as if a barbecue was about to be held.

Xia Duo pointed at the people who were roasting and asked Jibu in a low voice, "Captain Jibu, do you usually do this?"

"We usually bring some dry food, such as fried flour, air-dried bacon, etc., and sometimes we also use local materials."

"..."

Xia Duo felt that Jibu completely answered the wrong question, but it also solved Xia Duo's question. What he originally wanted to ask was about discipline, but it seemed that the army in the territory did not have such meticulous discipline.

Soon, in the smelly environment, the smell of barbecue wafted. It was not very fragrant, but compared with the surroundings, Xia Duo secretly swallowed.

At this moment, Dean came to look for him. Dean was well protected by Captain Uk before, but he just stabbed the goblin a few times, and he was still fighting with Captain Uk just now!
"Shado, I have a discovery, you come with me." Dean said mysteriously.

"What did you find?"

"I can't say it either, you'll know when you come!"

Not long after Shado sat down, he stood up again, and followed Dean to the place he said - seven or eight goblin corpses piled together.

These are the ones that the veterans just moved away for the barbecue. Xia Duo looked at them and didn't find anything strange. If there were, the veterans should have discovered them.

"what have you found?"

Dean didn't say it explicitly, but gave a hint, "Go into the spellcasting concentration state and look at these corpses!"

Xia Duo did as he was told. Although he cast magic during the battle just now, Xia Duo, who had overexperienced in casting spells once, never did it again, and always retained a certain spellcasting ability.

In the state of concentration, these corpses are still inextricably linked with the magic net, but these connections are a little different from when they were alive. It seems that there is a kind of energy being slowly guided from the magic net by these corpses.

Negative Energy!
Xia Duo thought of the word for the first time. In the magic net theory class in the Mage Tower, Xia Duo knew that although the magic net covered the whole world, it did not have energy in itself.

Its energy source actually comes from the inner plane, which is commonly referred to as the element plane of fire, wind, earth, and water, and the positive and negative energy planes, as well as the quasi-element and side element planes where they combine with each other.

The positive energy plane is the source of life energy, while the corresponding negative energy plane represents the inevitable passage of life.

It is the natural opposite of life!
The energy emanating from the goblin corpses in front of him gave Xia Duo a feeling of dying. If nothing else, the negative energy was correct.

"Just this? Negative energy?" Xia Duo said with some dissatisfaction.

Dean should have also taken the magic net theory class, should not have guessed that this is the phenomenon of negative energy gathering!

"That's it! I've only seen similar descriptions in books before, but I haven't seen the real energy convergence phenomenon!"

As soon as he heard this, Xia Duo knew that Dean had missed some lessons, or simply hadn't taken it. Generally speaking, the phenomenon of the enrichment of the four elements or the convergence of positive and negative energies is too common.

For example, water will attract water elements, and in turn, water will gradually appear in places where water elements are enriched. Other elements are similar. As for positive and negative energies, negative energies are encountered now.

Positive energy can be encountered every day, and light is positive energy.

Xia Duo casually released a [Brightening Technique] to dissipate the negative energy that had just gathered around the corpse.

In fact, if it wasn't for the late autumn and less positive energy in the environment, these few corpses would not be enough for negative energy to converge.

"Okay, let's go, don't you want to taste the freshly roasted wolf meat?"

"okay."

The wolf meat was still a bit attractive to Dean. At this time, these corpses were shallowly purified by Xia Duo, and there was no negative energy to study, and Dean no longer stayed.

Speaking of which, such a stinky goblin would only be best if he died.

……

By the fire, the wolf meat has been roasted. Although Dean and Shado did not participate in the killing, they were assigned the freshest part by virtue of their identity as the garrisoned mage.

However, Xia Duo didn't like such a rough flavor. He just tasted a small piece and no longer needed it. Rather than eating wolf meat, he wanted to inquire about some wild survival skills with Jibu.

He asked, Gibb answered, and there were occasional interjections, and the atmosphere was rather friendly.

"By the way, Captain Gibb, how did you deal with corpses when you used to clear the goblins in the forest?"

"It's basically not dealt with. There are too many predators in the forest. As far as we are concerned, as long as we leave, these corpses will be found by beasts and even goblins in a few days, and then eaten."

Hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. The wolf meat he ate just now might have eaten goblin, and Dean threw away the wolf meat in his hand.

On the contrary, those veterans and former adventurers still eat with relish.

"Captain Jibu, have you ever seen an undead creature?" Shado asked again.

In theory, if there are several corpses in the forest where there is no sunlight, and they are not disposed of in time, it is very likely that undead creatures will be born.

　In the new month, ask for investment, collection, recommendation, and reward! ! !
