Chapter 257: Chasing and Rescuing
Rustle Rustle –
The sound of small footsteps faded away, and just by listening to the intensity of the footsteps, you could tell that at least ten dark elves had just walked over.
It was a standard Dark Elf combat squad, consisting of six Dark Elf warriors, two Dark Elf Rangers, and two Dark Elf Wanderers.
And when they passed, everything gradually fell silent again.
After a few moments, the silence of the night began to fill the woods with the sound of leaves rubbing against each other after the night wind, the chirping of various insects, and the strange sounds of coming from nowhere......
There was a sudden ripple in the void, and a strange eyeball suddenly appeared.
This eyeball is only the size of a fist, the black pupil is extremely large, and the white of the eye only occupies a small circle around it, and it slowly flies around at an unhurried speed, looking at everything around it, its gaze seems to penetrate the trunk, branches, leaves, soil and other visual barriers, everything is hidden!
The strange eyeball turned around, as if it didn't notice anything, and then it aimed its gaze in the direction of the previous dark elf team, and after a strange ripple, it disappeared for no reason.
In another moment, a large tree that looked like the same kind around it suddenly began to fade, and then exploded into countless fragments, and the scattered fragments became transparent or even disappeared in the fall, and the surrounding colors were confused, and the figure of the muse and his party gradually emerged.
- "Image camouflage"!
The aura of the spell in his hand faded, and the muse glanced in the direction of the dark elf team, and then turned his gaze to the place where the strange eyeball appeared earlier, where the ground seemed to be a little wet.
With a flash of silver light, a leaf was ingested by the muse, and looking at the gray and white slime with a little purple intent on it, the muse frowned slightly.
"Why are there still Eye Demons?"
"Trouble ......"
"The sub-eyes cultivated by these eye demons are not easy to fool......"
One of the most notorious and powerful monsters in the Shadowlands, the Eye Demon is a being on par with the Mind-Sucking Monster (Mind Flayer).
The Eye Demon is spherical in shape, about eight feet wide, with a spherical body, consisting mainly of an unblinking main eye and a large mouth full of fangs, and ten smaller eyes attached to the wriggling eye stalks that grow above the bulb.
And their power is undeniable.
Each of the Eye Demon's small eyeballs can generate spell rays in a free motion, and each of the ten eyeballs emits a ray similar to a spell cast by a level 12 mage, each with a range of 150 feet.
However, due to anatomical issues, the Beholder can only have three eyeballs pointing in the same direction at a time, and the rest of the eyeballs must be oriented in other directions.
Beholder's spell rays include Enchanting Monsters, Enchanting Humans, Dissociation, Terror, Finger of Death, Petrification, Inflicting Heavy Damage, Sleep, Slowness, and Telekinesis!
The Eye Demon's main eye, on the other hand, can create an anti-spell field with a range of about 50 feet, which can suppress spells that enter it.
It can be said that any adult Eye Demon is a spell machine gun and a bad state delivery machine, and its strength is at least quasi-legendary!
This kind of weird eyeball is the sub-eye of the eye demon breeding and cultivation, which can transmit the scene it sees back to the main body of the eye demon, and has a certain ability to reverse concealment and break illusions, so it is usually used by the eye demon as a reconnaissance.
But when it came to the spell cast by the Muse himself, the illusion-breaking ability of the Eye Demon Eye was obviously not enough, so he naturally didn't find anything.
At this time, the muse and his party were already close to the place where Freya was attacked, and the intertwined residual energy fluctuations were clearly discerning, it was a feeling of cold darkness and blazing flames intertwined, eroding, entangled, and cemented with each other!
As soon as his gaze turned, the muse saw Freya's face become very unnatural, and a hint of anger, sadness, and fear appeared in her eyes.
The muse raised his hand, seemed to hesitate, and then gently patted Freya on the back: "Let's go." ”
"If I'm not mistaken. ”
"Now your mother, the Elven Empress, has sent someone to save you. ”
"And the fastest of them has arrived, looking for you in this area. ”
“......”
"From the current situation, it can be guessed that this person who arrived first is undoubtedly quite powerful. ”
"At least the one responsible for this dark elf attack was defeated, and then let their dispatch fail, otherwise the dark elves would not have been able to search so scattered. ”
After a pause, Muse continued.
"The only thing we need to do now is hide ourselves. ”
"As long as you don't let the dark elves find you, or let the people who came to save you find them first, that's fine. ”
"And ......"
"You must have something on you that can be located by the person who came to save you. ”
Freya didn't speak, just nodded silently.
"Very well, then, we ......"
Boom Boom!
Cracking sound!
Zizizizizi!
A series of loud noises brought the muse's words to an abrupt halt, and everyone turned their heads to look into the distance, allowing the night sky to continue to light up with dazzling magical brilliance, as well as a large number of lightning bolts, fireballs, and ice picks that swayed down!
It's just that the muse subconsciously moved his hand from Freya's back to her head while turning his head, rubbed it lightly a few times, and then withdrew his hand, but from the look he probably didn't even realize that he had made this small gesture.
When she was gently rubbed on her head by the muse, even through several layers of clothing, Freya's body still trembled slightly, but her eyes were half-narrowed and seemed to be enjoying it.
But after the muse withdrew her hand, Freya's face changed as if she had suddenly woken up, and her eyes changed several times as she watched the muse's eyes change several times, and finally retracted again, silently pressing the questions that had emerged to the bottom of her heart.
Of course, the muse didn't know that he had subconsciously made this small action, and he was looking at him in the distance, and he had already seen one of the fiery red figures through the layers of spell light.
"A high-level legendary mage who specializes in the Shaping Energy School?"
"Let me think about ......"
"How many ......are there?"
Muttering to himself, the muse thought for a moment, and then quickly made a few spell casting gestures in his hand, and a handful of powdered spell casting materials were spilled by him in the muffled sound of spells, and dissipated into a faint light in mid-air.
A ripple gradually spread, covering the body of the muse and his party, causing their figures to fade.
- "Swarm Invisibility"!
"Let's go......"
"The attention of the dark elves was attracted at this time......"
