Chapter 12 Blazing Orb
As soon as Conti's feet hit the ground, the Dire Badger rushed over from behind her. Fortunately, Jamie arrived in time, and it was like a silver lightning that slammed into the ferocious badger, forcing the ferocious beast to stop chasing Candy.
Jamie's weight is only half of the ferocious badger's weight. The impact with all his strength only forced the fat beast to stagger and take two steps back. The thick fat layer under the fur absorbed the impact and trembled violently, like layers of surging waves. . Jamie himself was bounced back by the extremely elastic fat and fell to the snow.
The Dire Badger quickly stabilized his center of gravity and was about to pounce on Jamie when the sound of chanting a spell suddenly came from not far away.
"Ringa!"
Joan poked out his index finger from behind a big tree, and shot a "freezing ray" at the ferocious badger from the air. The ice-blue light beam hit the beast's right eye, and the cold current transformed by the magic power quickly invaded the eye, forming a layer of frost as thin and brittle as an eggshell on the soft and moist surface of the eyeball.
The cold foreign object in the eye caused great pain to the dire badger, and it also restricted its vision, frantically shaking its head on the snow, trying to get rid of the ice that froze its eyes.
Taking advantage of Jamie and Joann's entanglement with the ferocious badger, Kandy took the time to complete the spellcasting preparations, using natural divine power to create a fireball as big as a ripe watermelon out of thin air, controlled by her mind, like a flaming rolling stone hitting the ferocious badger. There was a rumbling roar from the badger.
The dire badger was devastated by the "blazing sphere" and rolled on the snow field howling. After extinguishing the flames on his body, he supported himself and got up, limping and trying to escape into the depths of the dense forest.
Conti remained focused on casting spells, staring at the ferocious badger with murderous intent, and lightly hooked her fingers. The raging fireball immediately followed her will and turned around, roaring to catch up to the ferocious badger, and gave it a heavy blow. one strike.
boom! The dire badger was hit by the fireball and fell on his back, with his feet in the air.
Jamie didn't miss the opportunity, and flew forward like an off-string arrow, biting the ferocious badger's soft throat that lacked fur protection. The fangs of the hybrid winter wolf exuded a supernatural cold air, freezing the flesh and blood near the wound like a pancake. The more the ferocious badger struggled and rolled, the bigger the wound was torn and the more bleeding, and within two minutes he died in convulsions.
Jamie confirmed that the prey was completely dead, bared his blood-stained fangs and howled triumphantly.
"Jamie, stop barking!" Joann interrupted the domineering roar of the half-breed winter wolf, and urged angrily, "Hurry up and put out the fire!"
Jamie whimpered resentfully, ran to the bushes ignited by the "blazing ball", took a deep breath, and then exhaled a large cloud of white cold air.
The burning bushes were hit by a cold snap and the fire was extinguished in an instant. The scorched branches were covered with frost, and the remnants of ice and fire met in the midday sun.
Joan walked up to the ferocious badger's body, grabbed the stubby tail with both hands, and dragged it with all his strength. Conti hurried to help. The two each took a front leg and worked together to drag the nearly 400-pound dire badger to the door of the cabin. Joan was panting from exhaustion, and beads of sweat appeared on Kandy's fair forehead.
"This guy is too fat, we have to find a way to move it home!" Conti pointed his head into the hut, "Is there a sled or something like that in the hut?"
Joan shook her head, regretting that she didn't bring the sled here today.
"Do you have any carpenter's tools? All you need is a hammer, rope and nails." Canti continued.
"There are all these." Joan walked into the hut, and soon came out with a toolbox, which contained everything Kanti wanted.
"The tools are quite complete, and now we need to collect some wood." Conti said.
Wood is easy to find, there are many trees nearby, and a pile of firewood for heating is piled up behind the hut. Joan saw that Kandy was going to make a temporary sled, so he went to the woods with a hatchet and wanted to cut a tree for wood.
"There is no need to cut down trees. The ready-made firewood is enough." Conti said with a smile, "The sled doesn't need to be too big, just enough to carry the badger."
Joan nodded dubiously and helped her bring a large pile of firewood.
Conti selected the largest firewood as possible and piled it in front of him. Instead of rushing to process the wood, he made a series of spell-casting gestures and chanted divine magic prayers praising the origin of nature with a melodious rhythm. The natural divine power was successfully channeled out, and the girl's hands burst into golden light.
Kandy caressed the pile of firewood of different lengths in front of him with his magical hands. The rough and hard wood seemed to melt into a pile of clay. Under the girl's slender and soft fingertips, the shape was reshaped, and it was transformed into a pile in an instant. , uniform length and thickness, smooth surface and no burrs—what’s even more amazing is that these wooden squares also automatically generate tenons and mortises!
The next job will be easy. Conti inserted these wooden components one by one like building blocks, and assembled into an exquisite sled within ten minutes.
"What kind of spell is this?" Joan asked in surprise.
"Wood molding." Kandy wiped his sweat, his pretty face was slightly flushed, and she was filled with a pure smile, "Using this 2-ring natural magic, woodworking will become very simple."
Joan nodded, and had to admire her spellcasting ability. Counting the "Wood Plastic Art" and the "Blazing Orb" against the ferocious badger just now, Kandy has already cast two 2-level magical spells today, which shows that she has at least 3 druid professional levels. Qiao An has not yet become an official mage, and only knows a few 0-ring tricks. Compared with Kandy, the same age, the gap is too big, and a trace of inferiority inevitably grows in his heart.
"We have to work harder in the future." Qiao An secretly made up his mind.
Conti didn't seem to be aware of his subtle change of mind, and excitedly swung the hammer to hit the sled, nailed two iron sheets at the bottom to reduce friction, and finally put on the rope to complete the work.
Joan and Conti worked together to load the ferocious badger onto the sled, and called Jamie to put on the reins and drag it vigorously. The bottom of the sled rubbed against the ground, making a creaking sound, slowly accelerating, and finally gliding smoothly on the snow.
Conti laughed and clapped her hands, cheering for Jamie. Joan was also in a particularly happy mood. He took out dry food and a water bottle from his backpack and handed them to Kandy.
The two sat by the window of the wooden house and ate dry food. Seeing that the sky was just after noon and it was still early, Joan asked Kandy if he wanted to take a nap in the house to refresh his spirit.
"I'm not sleepy, how about you?"
"I don't have the habit of taking a nap." Joan thought for a while, and then said, "There is a very valuable black oak tree in the nearby forest. I have to go and see how it looks."
"I'll go with you!" Conti said excitedly.
