Chapter 10 Freezing Rays

Kandy chanted another spell, and the vines all over the ground quickly disappeared. The freed hares had a false alarm, and they all hurried back to the depths of the cave to hide.

Joan tied up the three fat rabbits one by one, stuffed them into the prey backpack, looked up at the sky, and said to Kandy: "It's almost noon, there is a cabin in the forest ahead, let's go there and rest. "

"Okay, maybe we can catch other prey on the way." Conti said cheerfully.

In the end, she really hit the mark. When approaching the hut in the woods, Jamie stopped suddenly and approached a straight and tall birch tree, sniffing non-stop. Joan immediately realized that there was something on the tree, and raised his hand to cover his forehead, and observed carefully through the sunlight from the treetops, and soon saw a pheasant standing among the branches, with brown and white feathers, slender The tail feathers show colorful colors, hanging down from the branches and swaying in the wind, which is very moving.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Kandy also found the pheasant on the tree, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Joan raised her index finger and hissed, signaling her not to make too much noise, so as not to scare the pheasant away. This kind of wild bird looks plump, but in fact it doesn't have two pounds of meat in total. On the contrary, the beautiful feathers on the tail are far more valuable than the meat.

Jamie crept close to the birch tree, and suddenly jumped up and threw himself on the branch where the pheasant was standing. It's a pity that the pheasant was more alert than it expected, flapping its wings and soaring into the air before Jamie jumped up.

Jamie jumped into the air, broke the branch with a slap, and fell back to the snow with a plop, growling in disappointment.

The pheasant hovered over the woods for several weeks, as if convinced that the hound and the boys and girls behind them were no threat to him, he folded his wings and landed again, standing on a branch twenty feet above the ground, squinting his eyes at the air below. Jamie, who was spinning around, looked contemptuous.

Candy giggled, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at Jamie's wasted effort, or at the pheasant's arrogance.

Joan stepped forward to pat Jamie on the back, comforted him to calm down, looked up at the pheasant on the branch with its head upright, narrowed its eyes, calculated the distance silently, then raised its right hand, and fought Peng slid down the wrist, revealing a white and slender index finger, pointing at the pheasant on the branch through the air, with his lips slightly parted, he spit out a series of low and rhythmic elf mantras.

"Ringa!"

Finally, Joan finished with a Quenya character symbolizing "cold" to complete the preparations for casting the spell. There was a cold light on the index finger of the right hand, and a slender ice-blue light beam shot out from the fingertip, and it swept across the sky in an instant, hitting the pheasant standing on the branch, which was twenty feet high from the ground, with precision.

The 0-level trick "Frozen Ray" is not very lethal, but it is enough to deal with a pheasant. Accompanied by a long cry, the pheasant fell headfirst from the treetops and fell heavily on the snowy ground. It was shivering from the cold magic that had penetrated into its body, and it was still struggling to escape the ground by flapping its wings.

Before Joan could give an order, Jamie had already rushed over, bit the pheasant's neck hard, and let out a bad breath.

"Joan! Joan! What kind of spell did you use just now?" Kandy ran over excitedly and asked.

"A little trick, not worth mentioning." Joan was a little embarrassed. He knew that his spellcasting ability was indeed far inferior to that of Conti, and it was not worth her fuss at all. He secretly guessed that perhaps because Conti was a divine spellcaster and lacked understanding of arcane spells, he thought the spell he had just cast was amazing.

"Although it's just a trick, it looks so handsome! And it's very practical, and the pheasant was knocked down with a single click!" Conti imitated Joan's gesture when he cast the spell just now, and stuck out his index finger to the sky, complacent Laughing happily.

Qiao An shook her head, not knowing what was going on with this girl, she couldn't stop laughing from morning till night. Although her personality is completely opposite to Kandy's, Joan has to admit that this lively and cheerful Asa girl exudes an optimistic temperament, just like the bright sunshine in the morning, which makes him inexplicable. Feel uplifted and forget your troubles unconsciously.

Jamie took the pheasant back and wagged his tail excitedly to claim credit for the owner. Joan patted the hound's head, squatted down to pluck out the most beautiful feathers on the pheasant's tail, and gave Jamie the rest of the chicken for lunch, rewarding it for its outstanding performance in this hunting.

Qiao An carefully wiped off the blood on the pheasant's feathers, and was about to put it into the backpack, when he accidentally noticed that Kandy was staring at the feathers in his hand, his eyes were extremely hot.

"What a beautiful feather!" Candy murmured in admiration.

Joan seldom deals with women, but she is not stupid. Hearing what Candy said, she immediately realized that she liked these pheasant feathers very much, so she handed all the feathers in her hand to her.

"Give it all to me? Really?" Kandy's eyes widened in surprise, and his smile became even brighter. "Thank you! Just one is enough!"

She took out one of the most colorful feathers from Joan's hand, and said excitedly: "It must be beautiful on the hat, what do you think?"

"fine."

Joan combed the remaining feathers carefully, rolled them up with a piece of cloth and put them in a backpack. He was not interested in hats decorated with pheasant feathers, but he knew that such outfits were popular in Leiden City. Those young masters and ladies from rich families would always wear a woolen hat decorated with beautiful feathers when they went out. It's like having a pheasant on his head. Instead of thinking it looks good, he thinks it's funny. But having said that, his personal preference is not important, what is important is that these beautiful feathers are very valuable, at least 5 gold coins can be exchanged, not only enough to repay the money owed to Aunt Barbara, but he will not have to spend any more money in the next period of time Worrying about the family.

With the burden of debt off my shoulders, and with a laughing, optimistic and cheerful companion by my side, the next section of the rugged mountain road will not be so difficult. When it was almost noon, Joan took Kandy through the woods, and a small wooden house appeared in the middle of the open space ahead.

The hut was built by Joan’s grandfather. Every autumn, when the apples in the forest are ripe, Joan often stays in this hut overnight, and takes Jamie to patrol the fruit forest to prevent wild boars or monkeys from breaking in and causing damage. The children in the town would occasionally come to pick the fruit to eat, unless they deliberately spoiled the fruit and picked it up and threw it away for play, Joan would not stop it.

After the beginning of winter this year, Joan was busy going to Layton Port to take the entrance exam, and hadn't been to the woods for more than a month. The small roof in the forest is covered with thick snow, and the doors and windows are also blocked by snow, which looks like a white grave mound from a distance.

Joan moved the snow in front of the door, opened the door, and just stepped over the threshold, suddenly stopped.

With the sunlight projected by the door, he noticed that there was an inexplicably large pile of dirt on the ground in the center of the hut, exuding a damp and weird smell in the dim room.
