Chapter 236

Hearing this, Gao De raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Spells, which magic user doesn't treat them as treasures? Rarely do they say they are taught to others at will.

One is that it is often not compliant, and the other is that magic users themselves are generally unwilling.

Spells have always been the most expensive knowledge.

And now, Baluke actually said he was willing to teach 【Wild Agility】 to himself?

"Is this appropriate?" Gao De hesitated for a moment and asked.

It's not that he was being pretentious, but mainly he felt that this matter was too contrary to common sense.

Baluke also saw the thoughts in Gao De's heart and narrowed his eyes slightly.

His gaze drifted to the soul body that was diligently cleaning the cave; a little person was flapping its small wings, constantly circling around the soul body, looking full of interest.

Fu Luo La has always been like this, with strong curiosity.

Noticing that Baluke's gaze fell on Fu Luo La, Gao De felt a little vigilant in his heart.

After all, with Fu Luo La's such spiritual performance, anyone can see that she must be extraordinary.

"Ice-Mane Tiger is a creature with extremely high ferocity," Baluke said slowly.

At this time, Fu Luo La, because the Wild Soul had not "paid attention" to her, puffed up her cheeks and changed her target, flying toward the Ice-Mane Tiger Lai En lying on the side, just like a "mosquito," flying around on Lai En's head, and occasionally pulling the hair on its body.

Lai En had no reaction to this, just lazily yawned.

Looking at this scene, Baluke said softly, "Except for me, Lai En will instinctively reject other creatures. The reason it is willing to let you sit on its back is also because I communicated and exchanged with it in advance."

"And like this, without my request, letting other creatures approach and touch without any reaction, only creatures born with a heart of nature can do it."

"Heart of nature?"

What is this? Gao De had never heard of it.

"It is a heart that is close to all things in nature and is pure and kind by nature."

"Creatures with a heart of nature are so close to you, which just shows that you are a devout Nature Sect believer who adheres to your original heart."

"I believe you will definitely bring some good changes to the Northern Realm. Even if it's not much, it's good. So, as a Snowfield Guardian, I am willing to provide you with some help within my power," Baluke said sincerely.

There is one more thing he didn't say. These days, traveling with Gao De and chasing those fleeing snowfield hyenas, he could clearly feel that Gao De not only had no complaints but was even very active.

It was even more so during the battle. He didn't take it for granted to stand by just because he was not as powerful as himself, but instead took the initiative to do his best to help solve those ley line creatures.

Combining these two, Baluke had completely believed in Gao De's "Nature Sect" statement, and trusted Gao De even more, treating him as one of his own.

"If you weren't a believer in the Nature Sect, I would have wanted to recommend you to the Snowfield Guardians," he sighed.

"As long as it is a contribution to the Northern Realm, whether it is the Nature Sect, or the Snowfield Guardians, or other factions, what is the difference?"

Gao De replied with a deep meaning, and at the same time self-deprecatingly said, "Besides, I don't have such a noble spiritual realm as you, so I can't be a Snowfield Guardian."

Over these days, although Baluke did not take the initiative to introduce, he also vaguely knew that the Snowfield Guardian is actually an organization similar to the ascetic sect.

Becoming a Snowfield Guardian means having to live alone all year round in the uninhabited and dangerous Northern Realm wilderness.

Cannot marry, cannot have children, dedicate everything of oneself to the snowfield, and there will be no substantial remuneration.

The spirit of the Snowfield Guardian is enough to be admired.

But admiration is admiration; letting Gao De become a member of it, he would definitely not be willing.

Gao De's words made Baluke smile, because this is actually a kind of affirmation of him.

"You don't need to deify us either. All those who choose to become Snowfield Guardians are people who truly love this land. Living such a life, we don't feel bitter, but feel happy, and the soul has been sublimated."

"So, it's not that we can endure hardship, but that we can find meaning in this way of life."

In the dark night, the cold wind on the snowfield kept howling, never stopping.

The flickering firelight illuminated the small cave brightly.

Baluke taught 【Wild Agility】 to Gao De by the fire, using oral instruction.

Gao De listened very seriously. According to Baluke, the 【Wild Agility】 he taught Gao De is not the core spell of the Snowfield Guardians.

Those core spells and knowledge will only be taught after becoming a Snowfield Guardian and passing the assessment and making contributions.

And after teaching, it will be strictly forbidden to spread it outside.

However, 【Wild Agility】 does not have this restriction.

Although it is not forbidden to spread it outside, this spell is still a rare spell, difficult to see in the outside world, and can be considered one of the exclusive spells of the Snowfield Guardian sect.

【Wild Agility】 (Transmutation, 1st circle):

You call upon the Wild Soul to assist you.

When you cast this spell, choose one of the following effects:

If there are any tracks on the ground within range (120 feet), you will know where they are, and you can track these tracks relatively easily, lasting for 1 hour or until you cast this spell again.

If there is edible food within range, you will know it and know where to find it.

If there is clean drinking water within range, you will know it and know where to find it.

If there is a suitable shelter for you and your allies within range, you will know it and know where to find it.

You can let the spirit collect wood for fire and use your supplies to build a camp in the area. The spirit will build a fire in the middle of the stone circle, set up a tent, unpack the bedding, and take out all rations and water for your diet.

You can also let the spirit immediately dismantle a camp, which includes extinguishing the firewood, packing up the tent, packing the backpack, and burying any garbage.

According to Gao De's understanding, the so-called 【Wild Agility】 can actually be treated as carrying a low-profile version of "Bear Grylls" with you.

As a first-circle spell, its cost-effectiveness is really too high.

Because this is a spell that can be used all the way to the end after mastering it, similar to Mage Hand.

Gao De listened very seriously, and after half an hour, he firmly remembered the spell model of 【Wild Agility】 in his heart.

But unfortunately, as a first-circle spell, the prerequisite for constructing the spell model: spell potion is necessary.

And clearly, he doesn't have the spell potion for 【Wild Agility】 on hand now, so he can't start trying to construct the spell model.

Fortunately, according to what Baluke said, the main and auxiliary materials required for the 【Wild Agility】 spell potion are all common things on the snowfield.

So as long as he reaches the Sinuofu clan, he can basically gather seven or eight out of ten, and if he is lucky, he might even gather all the materials directly.

The main and auxiliary materials required for refining the 【Wild Agility】 spell potion are not much different from the requirements of general spell potions; it requires two first-circle main materials and four zero-circle auxiliary materials.

The two first-circle main materials required are: one first-circle Ice Soul Stone, one-half ounce of Blue Butterfly Crystal Powder,

Among them, Gao De happens to have a ready-made first-circle Ice Soul Stone, and more than one; these were all obtained by killing small ice elementals on Mount Dandong.

The rest is just the Blue Butterfly Crystal Powder that needs to be worried about.

As for the zero-circle auxiliary materials, they are generally not rare things.

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Gao De, Baluke, and Lai En all woke up from their sleep.

People who travel alone in the wilderness for a long time are generally very sensitive to abnormal sounds from the outside world. So if one person wakes up, the other person is naturally awakened.

After waking up, the two simply cooked some food.

They ate snow wolf meat.

Although the taste of snow wolf meat is not particularly good, it depends on what it is compared to.

Snowfield hyena meat is not just a matter of taste, but the meat smells like rot. If you are not about to starve to death, ordinary people will not think about eating snowfield hyena meat.

Subsequently, Baluke cast 【Wild Agility】, summoned the Wild Soul, and simply cleaned up the temporary camp in the cave, and then the two rode on Lai En and rushed toward the direction of the Sinuofu clan.

This time, there were no more twists and turns.

There are many dangers on the snowfield, but at the same time, the snowfield is also very large.

With such dilution, the probability of encountering high-circle ley line creatures becomes extremely small.

And Lai En, as an Ice-Mane Tiger, in the Northern Realm, can also be considered a local snake.

It took the initiative to radiate its aura, and under normal circumstances, no blind creatures would approach.

They set off at dawn, and before the sky darkened, Baluke took Gao De to the outside of the Sinuofu clan.

As a medium-sized tribe, the Sinuofu clan's camp is a hundred times larger than the Duo'erbian tribe's, and looking from afar, it even looks like a small village.

Of course, the buildings inside the tribe are not much different from the Duo'erbian tribe's; they are all tents, just more numerous and appearing spectacular.

The Sinuofu clan's camp is built on a piece of open snow, with smaller tents distributed on the periphery, clearly for ordinary tribespeople to live in.

In the center of the tribe stand several larger tents.

The tops of these tents are high, made of thick animal skins, and decorated with exquisite patterns and totems on the outside; one look and you know that the identity of their owner is definitely not simple.

You can see that most families in this tribe raise reindeer.

These reindeer are huge, with white fur, and the antlers on their heads are forked, like exquisite works of art.

"Then I'll send you here." Seeing that they had reached the destination, Baluke said goodbye to Gao De.

"Aren't you going in to rest?" Gao De couldn't help asking.

Baluke shook his head, "We Snowfield Guardians, unless necessary, will not easily enter human tribes. The snowfield is our home."

A very strange habit, but just like every sect has some doctrines that outsiders cannot understand, Gao De expressed understanding.

"Then where are you going next?" Gao De asked again.

"I am preparing to continue patrolling this area to confirm the scale of nearby ley line creature populations. If I run into any that can be solved, I will solve them by the way," Baluke laughed heartily, "When you really find a place to plant trees, I will definitely go to visit."

"You are most welcome." Gao De also laughed.

The purposes of the two were different, so naturally, they could only part ways here.

"Take care, don't be reckless," Gao De exhorted, after all, the other party's heroic combat style, while cool, is usually difficult to escape if he falls into danger.

"Don't worry, the snowfield will protect me," Baluke said.

Both were very crisp and neat, and didn't say any words of reluctance, and parted outside the Sinuofu clan.

Watching Baluke and Lai En's figures disappear from sight, Gao De turned around and walked toward the Sinuofu clan's camp.

Although it was a temporary camp, the Sinuofu clan still circled a wall made of ice thorns on the periphery.

These ice thorns were sharp at the tips and arranged neatly, which not only played a defensive role but also added to the majesty of the camp, and the height of the wall was enough to block the invasion of most wild beasts.

To enter the camp, one must pass through the gate.

There are tribespeople belonging to the Sinuofu clan guarding the gate.

They are two sturdy guards wearing thick bear skin clothes, who are responsible for maintaining order while also shouldering the responsibility of screening outsiders.

A few minutes later, Gao De came to the gate of the Sinuofu clan and lined up.

Yes, lining up.

As the largest tribe in this area, the Sinuofu clan's camp is also the only "trading area" nearby, attracting many people from other tribes to come here to exchange for the supplies they need in the camp.

At the same time, some lone travelers scattered on the snowfield will also choose to enter the Sinuofu clan's camp to rest.

So there are actually quite a few outsiders who want to enter the Sinuofu tribe's camp every day.

This makes the Sinuofu clan's camp, although not as lively as the commercial area of the outside city, at least have more popularity, and even have to line up.

While waiting in line, Gao De noticed that the two Sinuofu guards guarding the gate seemed to pay special attention to outsiders with "pets."

Their eyes kept wandering on the outsiders carrying "pets," and once it was their turn, they would come forward to question them in detail.

For example, the young hunter who was only two positions ahead of him brought a large snow dog unique to the snowfield.

This is very common in the Northern Realm.

Especially since that young hunter came with the purpose of trading supplies.

Under the background of barter-based trade in the Northern Realm, he brought a lot of supplies from the tribe, and later would exchange them for supplies of equal value to bring back to his tribe.

It is conceivable that the weight of the round trip is not small, and relying on himself is somewhat too strenuous.

And these large snow dogs have outstanding strength and endurance, suitable for dragging heavy objects, and their personality is friendly and gentle, so they naturally became one of the favorite partners of Northern Realm people.

Going out to trade and carrying a snow dog is simply too normal.

But here, that young hunter was questioned in detail by those two Sinuofu tribal guards.

"Is this a snow dog?" one of the older Sinuofu guards asked first.

His expression was very oppressive, but his tone was still gentle.

"Yes, it is a snow dog," the young hunter nodded and said.

Having received the confirmed reply, the two Sinuofu guards did not "let it go."

They squatted down again, carefully looked at the snow dog back and forth several times, and even reached out to stroke the snow dog's fur.

This battle made the young hunter nervous, and he doubted whether there was something wrong with his snow dog.

"First time coming to our Sinuofu?" Finally, the two Sinuofu guards finished the inspection, stood up, and asked the young hunter again.

"Yes."

"Where are you from?"

"Ansai tribe."

"Ansai tribe..." The Sinuofu guard thought for a moment, seemed to remember the location of the Ansai tribe, nodded and said, "Then go in."

The previous posture, and now such a sudden release, made the young hunter stunned for a moment before he nodded dazed.

"Oh, by the way, the Enduring Zhenbing tribe recently held an ice-in-sword challenge. As long as you can pull out the Enduring Zhenbing sword they inserted in the ice platform, you can get a large amount of ice marrow rewards and become a guest of honor of the Enduring Zhenbing tribe."

When the young hunter was about to enter the Sinuofu clan's camp, the older Sinuofu guard suddenly said again.
