Wizard: I can extract identities

After Ximan agreed, Andrea motioned Eugene to go to the counter and take on a task of patrolling the academy.

After everyone got to know each other briefly, Ximan asked them to wait for him. He returned to his residence and took the mist cat with him before returning to the team. Then, they left the academy.

As soon as they walked out of the academy, a gloomy atmosphere came from the surrounding woods, which made Ximan, who had a good physical fitness, shudder.

Andrea looked at the sky and said to everyone: "It's more than one o'clock in the afternoon. While the sun has not set yet, we have to hurry up."

Everyone said that they understood that although the sun could not shine into the shadow forest, it at least made the visibility of the shadow forest a little higher. At least they could tell whether there were any obstacles blocking their way ahead, which made it easier to travel.

The group quickened their pace and walked towards the outskirts of the forest. As they walked out of the academy, Ximan could clearly feel that there were pairs of green eyes flashing in the dark, spying on them, and this situation became more obvious the further they walked out of the forest.

But no one showed a worried expression on their faces, because these were all demonized creatures kept in captivity by the academy. Ximan and others had a unique aura, and these demonized creatures would not attack them. The range of these demonized creatures was only in this area of ​​the academy. The other areas of the Shadow Forest needed the apprentices of the academy to patrol, which was also a method used by the academy to train apprentices.

Ximan walked while looking at a map in his hand. Zahra next to him was worried that Ximan could not see clearly, so she used lighting tools to help Ximan illuminate.

This map was given to Ximan by Andrea, and it marked the terrain around the entire academy and the general terrain of the Shadow Forest. After all, Ximan was out of the academy for the first time and knew nothing about the surrounding environment. Andrea did this to give Ximan a basic understanding of the surrounding environment.

After becoming a second-class wizard apprentice, Ximan's mental power was greatly improved, and his memory and reading ability were also improved. It didn't take much time to memorize the map. Ximan returned the map to Andrea, and then went on his way with peace of mind.

The Shadow Forest is very large, and it is impossible for a team to patrol the entire Shadow Forest, so the academy divides the Shadow Forest into four parts: east, west, south, and north. Each team is responsible for one part, and Ximan and his team are responsible for the western part.

"Ximan, you must be vigilant when patrolling. Although there are often formal wizards from the academy entering and leaving the Shadow Forest, there are still many magical creatures that will mistakenly or actively enter the Shadow Forest. Every time we accept the task of patrolling the academy, we will encounter magical creatures. Although most of them are only the strength of first-class and second-class wizard apprentices, we must be careful." Zahra glanced at the fog cat following Ximan, and reminded him with the idea of ​​building a good relationship with Ximan.

Although they encounter magical items every time they patrol, this is also an unexpected gain for them. After all, the corpse of a magical creature is worth a lot of magic stones. After distribution, each person can get five or six more magic stones each time, or even seven or eight more magic stones.

Ximan nodded, indicating that he understood. Zahra continued to remind him: "A few months ago, a team encountered a high-level demonized creature equivalent to a third-class apprentice during a patrol. The team suffered heavy casualties, so you must not be stubborn. Run away immediately when you encounter danger!"

Zahra and his men would rather be in danger than Ximan. If Ximan had any problems, they could not bear the wrath of a formal wizard, so Zahra kept reminding Ximan.

The worst physical fitness among Ximan's group was comparable to that of a knight, so they traveled very fast. Even so, they walked for two hours before stopping at a place.

This is a relatively open and flat place on the ground. There are some tree stumps on the ground. It is obvious that this is a place cleared by humans. A small river flows through this place. Several wooden houses are located in this empty place. The wooden houses look a little shabby and have existed for a long time, but they are very solid and reliable.

"We are here. This is where we will stay for the next few days!" Andrea led everyone to stop in front of the wooden house. After confirming that the area and the wooden house were safe, they settled down, placed their belongings in the wooden house, and then set up some traps and warning defense measures around the wooden house.

There are demonic creatures in this area, so they must set up these measures as soon as possible to avoid being attacked during rest.

Seeing this scene, Ximan felt that his choice was right. Andrea and the others were indeed very experienced in this regard.

There were only four wooden houses, but there were six people in their group. After discussion, Ximan obtained the right to live alone.

"Okay! Next, we will start the patrol work. As usual, we will divide into groups for patrol. There are six of us here, and Ximan is a newcomer. I am the strongest, so Ximan and I are in one group, Eugene and Zahra are in one group, and Paul and Ant are in one group."

"Remember, the groups should not be too far apart. Once you encounter a danger that you cannot resist, don't be stubborn, send a signal immediately, and the surrounding groups will go to support immediately after seeing the signal. In addition, when night falls, you must return to the base. Did you hear me?" Because of Ximan, the newcomer, Andrea specifically explained the precautions for patrol in detail.

Seeing everyone nodding, Andrea waved her hand: "Let's go!"

The team immediately dispersed and formed three groups, which went in three directions at a certain distance.

"Ximan, follow me closely. There are woods nearby. There are not only demonized creatures, but also some poisonous snakes and insects. Although they will not kill you, they will make you uncomfortable for a while!" Andrea reminded while walking. She would look back at Ximan from time to time to make sure he was following her.

Ximan was also very alert at this time, looking around vigilantly and following Andrea closely.

This was his first time patrolling in the Shadow Forest, so he had to be cautious.

After walking for a distance, Andrea stopped in front of a big tree, squatted down and checked on the ground, and seemed to have found something.

Andrea picked up a piece of dried gray and broken fur, and a few black feathers as long as an adult's palm, handed it to Ximan behind him and said: "It seems that we have found something. This is the fur of the gray-haired mouse. Judging from the degree of dryness, it should have died the day before yesterday, and these feathers are the feathers of the iron-feathered eagle!"
