Chapter 863 - Trade
Chapter 863: Trade
As more and more and more flaming poison ants were struck down by Abel’s hurricane (damaged), the rebound had reached its maximum power. A giant hurricane emerged beside Abel with him in the center.
Flaming poison ants were sucked in and torn into pieces by the wind.
The large axes smashed the ants, Abel finally realized the benefit of using a heavy weapon.
Those flaming poison ants were not afraid to die, but they needed their numbers to win.
After a big portion of flaming poison ants was taken out, the buzzing sounds began to decrease. Soon, they all flew away in the same direction.
Abel’s hurricane had reached its limit, but he did not just let it go just like he did in the past since that would damage the trees.
As the center of the hurricane, he pulled away from his right ax with his left remaining while carefully making sure the hurricane would not blast open.
With the support of the world stone, Abel saw the wind direction of the hurricane. He then struck opposite to its direction with his left ax.
The others didn’t know what Abel was doing. They were confused why Abel still held on to the hurricane.
Abel did 200 strikes in a short period of time. Suddenly things began to settle, and the hurricane was defused at last.
The wind blew off only some rocks and dust, but no trees were hurt.
The priest and Barbarian Ruin did not know how hard it was to diffuse a full-size hurricane, but they knew they must have some special skill to do what he did.
Barbarian Ruin, who knew about the hurricane, couldn’t understand how a human, a rank 16 wizard, could do a final level skill of the Barbarian.
Even he, as a rank 17 Barbarian, could not do something like that. However, the hurricane Abel made was a little different.
He began to doubt but also had a huge change of heart with Abel. A teammate who saved him in the most crucial moment was worth a friend, even if he was a human.
Unlike the other two, half-elf Leon could do a druid hurricane spell. He knew the force of nature was very hard to stop once it was created. He couldn’t even stop the hurricane he created himself.
Abel let out a big breath of relief. The hurricane (damaged) might be even more effective than a spell, but he had no choice since he needed to save Barbarian Ruin anyway.
“Wizard Abel, thank you!” Barbarian Ruin stepped in front of Abel and bowed. He was looking quite bad with fire poison in him.
“Ruin, we are teammates. I believe you will do the same if I was in your situation!” Abel smiled and did a wizard bow.
“Of course, I’m this team’s shield!” Barbarian Ruin laughed.
However, he didn’t have the guts to ask Abel what he wanted. He still had not returned his favor.
The priest also stepped up, and an ugly smile emerged on his face “Wizard Abel, that’s a powerful skill you gave!”
“Bighorn, that skill is actually not as powerful as you think. It’s only effective when you have a large group of weak enemies!” Abel smiled and explained.
“That’s still very impressive!” The priest sighed. He then gazed at Abel’s double ax and said, “I never expect a wizard’s body to be so strong!”
“It’s just a trick. It doesn’t actually need that much power!” Abel laughed. He then stopped talking and returned the double ax to Barbarian Ruin.
“Ruin, how’re your injuries? Can you still walk?” The priest got Abel’s message, so he turned to Barbarian Ruin.
“They’re nothing. It’s just a small injury!” Barbarian Ruin padded his chest and said. He had taken some potion, and he was looking better.
On the other hand, half-elf Leon had also healed his mad wolf. Although it couldn’t battle, moving forward shouldn’t be a problem. They just needed to be extra careful.
Abel then continued to lead the way. The battle just then had dragged down sometimes, but the team could still make it out of the forest by night with their current speed.
The purple fog forest was not big, but they had to stick to the edge as much as possible. Still, all it took for them was a day, and they were out.
The edge was a barrier between intelligent lives and spiritual beasts, so that was why they did not run into any powerful spiritual beast. They would not dare to go any deeper, even if they were more powerful.
“Wizard Abel, we have arrived on the ancient grounds. Be careful. It is very dangerous!” Barbarian Ruin said to Abel.
“Thanks, I’ll keep my eyes out!” Abel smiled.
The sky was fully dark by the time they passed through another hill outside the purple fog forest. The sound of running water could be heard. It was a river.
“Everyone, let’s set up our camp next to the river!” The priest gazed at Barbarian Ruin and said.
Setting up a camp was easy. They did not make a fire. In an ancient ground, a fire was basically a signal to spiritual beasts that there was fresh meat.
All members of this little team brought their own food. Capturing wild game and roasting them in a campfire could only be done in a safe place.
Abel took out a hunger potion and poured it down. The flavor explosion from those rabbit essence sent a shock to his spirit.
“Wizard Abel, can you give me a bottle of your hunger potion?” Half-elf Leon smelled the aroma in the air and immediately put down his fruit.
Although he was a half-elf, he always called himself an elf. Therefore fruit was always the only thing in his diet.
However, his sensitive smell had brought him something familiar. He couldn’t help but ask.
“Sure half-elf Leon. You don’t need to eat for the next 10 days after you have taken this!” Abel smiled and passed a bottle of hunger potion to half-elf Leon.
“This is the smell of blue howling rabbits. I remember trying them in my tribe when I was young!” Half-elf Leon said as he poured the potion down. However, he quickly added, “wait, no, this tastes even better!”
Abel smiled. His rabbit essence was on par with an actual blue howling rabbit.
afterward, Barbarian Ruin stepped up in hesitation. “Wizard Abel, can we have a chat?”
Half-elf Leon saw Barbarian Ruin coming, so he smiled and decided to give them some space. “Right, you guys have a chat. I’ll go check up on Bighorn!”
“Ruin, what’s up?” Abel saw the hesitation on Barbarian Ruin and asked.
He could roughly guess why Barbarian Ruin had come to him. Barbarian Ruin had been targeting him throughout this whole journey, so there could only be one thing that changes the mind, the hurricane (damaged).
“Wizard Abel, I want to know where did you learn the double ax skill you did today!” Barbarian Ruin finally spoke.
“From my experience in battle!” Abel smiled.
Barbarian Ruin was caught off guard. What were the chances? Was it even possible?
“Wizard Abel, can you trade that skill with me?” Barbarian Ruin followed with yearning.
“Are you interested?” Abel asked.
“What you did is very similar to the top-level Barbarians skill ‘hurricane.’ If I can learn your method, my ax skills will definitely reach another level!” Barbarian Ruin did hold back.
Abel had saved his life, so he was not planning to lie about how powerful this skill was to Barbarian. Also, this skill was just too important to him, and it was not to a wizard.
“Ruin, what can you trade with me you have for the trade?” Abel did not reject. This was his intention in the first place.
Barbarian Ruin felt his heart lifted and took out a bag of mana gem from his portal bag. Most of them were intermediate gems. There were even 3 top-level gems.
“Take a look, if not enough, I’ll borrow some from Leon!” Barbarian Ruin shoved the gems in front of Abel.
“Ruin, actually, can the Barbarian let outsiders see their skill inheritance? If you can, I just want to have a look!” Abel looked towards the priest and half-elf Leon from afar and whispered.
His request was not too demanding. Even if Barbarian Ruin rejected him, it wouldn’t cause much trouble. He had saved his life at the end of the day.
Barbarian Ruin looked up and down at Abel. Although he was also 2 meters tall, he had to tell him the truth “Wizard Abel, only Barbarians can use Barbarian skills. You won’t be able to use it even if you have the inheritance!”
“Ruin, I’m just curious. Since I am new to the Central Continent. I just want to know more about occupations that I’m not familiar with!” Abel smiled and explained.
“Wizard Abel, it won’t be a fair trade if I just let you have a look at my inheritance. Here, take these 3 top-level gems as well!” Barbarian jammed the gems in Abel’s hand.
Since Abel was new, he didn’t know that inheritance was not that secretive to each race. There were many types of practice, and normal inheritance was extremely widespread. If Abel wanted to gather all of them, all he really needed to do was head to some powerful organizations.
“Ruin, follow me!” Abel did a bow and took the gems. Although mana gems didn’t mean much to him, it must have been a big sum of wealth or Barbarian Ruin.
He then took out a barrier circle and set it up. Afterward, he entered with Barbarian Ruin.
“Give me your double ax!” Abel said.
“Here!” Barbarian Ruin felt excitement running through him, so he passed his double ax in the most polite way possible.
Abel held the double ax and explained the detail of his hurricane (damaged) skill as Barbarian Ruin listened with full attention.
The skill was complicated. It had taken Abel 2 straight hours of explaining until he could point out all the things Barbarian Ruin should be mindful of, even with Barbarian Ruin grasping a complementary skill, the ‘ax support.’
‘Axe support’ was a basic passive skill of Barbarians. It was the control one had over their battle-ax. After continuous training, one’s control, power, and accuracy with a battle-ax would dramatically increase.
Since the hurricane (damaged) needed many enemies to be effective, Barbarian Ruin could not test it out immediately. However, he respected Abel with all his heart that Abel could develop a skill similar to a top-level Barbarian spell.
Although Abel’s hurricane (damaged) did not have a level attached to it, it could make up for a Barbarian’s weakness in mass attack before they grasp the actual hurricane.
The hurricane (damaged) could be seen as a totally new skill both low and high-rank Barbarian could use.
When Barbarian Ruin finally understood the hurricane (damaged), he felt a little bad for his trade with Abel. For Barbarians, this skill was much more valuable.
“Wizard Abel, this is the Barbarian skill inheritance!”Barbarian took out a thick book from his portal bag and handed it over
