Chapter 65: Escape into the swamp
Zero dodged the spider silk spat at him by the high forest spider as he raced deep into the jungle. He was out of breath, he didn't dare to pause at all, the huge Gaolin Pang Spider behind him chased after him, I don't know if it was because he hadn't eaten for a long time or Zero looked too delicious, it didn't give up the slightest intention of chasing Zero, but Zero was about to be exhausted at the moment, he had already spent a lot of physical strength to avoid the Broken Tail Fierce Tiger, and after sitting down and hurriedly drinking a few sips of water, he was chased all over the forest again.
Zero turned a stout giant tree, leaning against the trunk and wiping his sweat and panting, he looked at the Gao Lin Pang Spider who was exploring not far behind him, urging his mental power to brew fire magic.
After five years of study, Zero can quickly cast magic below level 13 without the help of external forces, and above level 15 is a high-level magic with lethality, the magic formation of this kind of magic is much more complex than the previous conventional magic, and with Zero's current ability, he can't cast it quickly, so he can only hide behind cover and spend time building a formation now.
Zero was sweating profusely, and he concentrated on staring at the magic array that was gradually forming in the palm of his hand. It's really inefficient to temporarily build a magic array to cast magic in battle, first of all, you have to take the time to keep these magic arrays in mind, but there are more than 300 kinds of magic below the intermediate level from level 1 to 13 alone, and the higher the level, the more diverse the combination of magic, the more types of magic, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the types of magic with kaleidoscope. It was impossible for him to memorize all the majestic magic arrays in the world in his mind.
Although Zero had memorized the entire "Encyclopedia of Magic Spells", he still couldn't build a high-level magic array quickly and efficiently, and he couldn't even cast it at a higher level now. As far as the speed at which he casts magic below level 13 is at most the same as that of ordinary magicians, but beyond level 13 magic, his casting speed is not as fast as that of a magician who specializes in one element, and the casting speed of magic is precisely one of the criteria for measuring the strength of a magician.
Zero felt that he had to find a way to solve this problem, or he would have to plant on it sooner or later. Not sooner or later, but now......
Gao Lin Pang Spider obviously sensed Zero's telekinesis fluctuations, and directly spat out a mouthful of venom, Zero hurriedly dodged to the side, the venom sprayed on the trunk, and a burst of white smoke immediately rose from the trunk.
"You must not be stuck to this venom!" Zero thought to himself, and the Gao Lin Pang Spider spat out a huge cobweb, with its thick appendages.
Seeing the cobwebs falling from the sky, Zero's eyes lit up, the fire magic array in his palm was finally constructed, and the fierce fire elements were converging towards the magic array, Zero raised his palm to urge the magic array against Gao Lin Pang Spider, and a strong fire erupted from the magic array half a meter wide in front of his palm.
Level 15 Fire Magic, Yan Chong, is a high-level magic in the actual combat category that can create a pillar of fire with a range of more than 20 meters. The fierce flames ignited the fire element in the air, and the length of the pillar of fire in front of Zero Palm reached 30 meters, and after it burned the cobwebs coming towards Zero, it burned directly at the appendage joints of the Gao Lin Pang Spider.
Gao Lin Pang Spider was burned in pain by the high temperature flames, and let out a violent "hiss" sound from his mouth, and retreated backwards to avoid the flames.
After about ten seconds, Yan Chong's casting time was over, and Zero threw a level 9 lightning lightning ball at the head of Gao Lin Pang Spider, and then turned around and ran towards the forest quickly.
The ball of electric light did not hit the Gao Lin Pang Spider, but restrained it for a moment, and when the Gao Lin Pang Spider reacted, Zero had already fled. It then chased after Zero on its thick legs.
Zero ran forward not long and found that the trees around him were gradually becoming scarce, and a fog began to float around him, Zero had a big head, but he didn't expect to run out of the woods in a circle, and it was already difficult to get rid of the high forest spider in the woods, and now it was even more difficult to get out of this open place.
The ground under his feet shook, Gao Lin Pang Spider chased after him, he didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly ran forward, and ran out dozens of meters in a blink of an eye.
The Gao Lin Pang Spider chased out of the woods and directly spewed a huge spherical wind magic at Zero, which was very fast. Zero turned around and saw a huge wind ball coming from behind him, and ran to the side with a sharp turn under his feet, and the spherical wind magic with a diameter of more than 5 meters grazed his back and smashed into the ground not far away, directly blasting the ground into a huge crater.
A cold sweat broke out on Zero's body, and he glanced at Gao Lin Pang Spider standing behind, the fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, and he could only see the huge and vague figure of Gao Lin Pang Spider. Zero didn't dare to stop, so he took a step forward and continued to run, but he couldn't lift his feet after just a few steps forward, and Zero was shocked and looked down to see his legs sunk into the dirt.
"Swamp!" Zero said badly, he struggled a few times, his body slammed into the quagmire for a few points, and soon the mud was up to his knees, Zero felt a chill down his spine, and didn't dare to move at all, stiffly fixed in the mud, unfolded his mind and began to explore the surrounding environment.
Gao Lin Pang Spider stood not far away, not daring to approach, obviously it knew that there was a large swamp here, but it didn't want to give up Zero, the prey that was close at hand, it stared at Zero and wandered in place.
At this time, Zero's heart was as anxious as a cat scratching, and he released his mental power only to find that it could only extend a few dozen meters around, except for a small piece of land behind him that he had just walked through, and he couldn't reach the edge of the surrounding swamp at all.
The dense fog around here is strange, most likely a kind of miasma formed by the heat of the day, which can suppress mental power and confuse the senses. Zero was now mired in the quagmire, and when he raised his eyes, he could see several demonic beast bones not far in front of him, those were obviously giant demonic beasts over the 7th order, their huge bodies were all submerged in the quagmire, and only a small part of them were exposed to the air. The stench in the mud and the occasional bubbles coming out of the mud were disgusting. But when Zero first came here, he didn't smell any strange smell, and it was probably because of the fog around him, and countless demonic beasts were planted here.
Zero was sweating profusely, and he felt like he was in a desperate situation. Even though he was still in place, he could still feel his body slowly sinking, the mud had swallowed the lower half of his body, and he was afraid that it would not be long before he would be swallowed by the swamp beneath him.
"Hey, you stupid spider, think of a way, the meat in your mouth is about to be gone, aren't you in a hurry? Why are you still stunned? You should move!" Zero opened his mouth and shouted to Gao Lin Pang Spider not far away.
Gao Lin Pang Spider heard Zero's shout and hissed at him, only to see that the next moment, it spit out a thick spider silk at Zero.
"There is spirituality!" Zero looked at the spider silk flying towards him and praised Gao Lin Pang Spider, and stretched out his hand to catch the spider silk, who knew that the spider silk was not long enough, and flew a few meters away from Zero and landed lightly in the swamp.
"Farther away, you're stupid!" Zero yelled in a hurry, he stretched out his hand and moved, and his body sank a little, and now the mud was over his chest.
"If you don't give me some strength, you won't be able to eat me!" Zero shouted to Gao Lin Pang Spider again.
A few of the thick appendages of the Gaolin Pang Spider probed forward a few more meters, and then spat out another piece of spider silk towards Zero.
This time, the spider silk stuck firmly to Zero's back, and Gao Lin Pang Spider spit out two more spider silks that stuck to Zero's shoulder, and Zero happily shouted "cowhide".
Feeling a strong pull coming from the spider silk, Zero's sinking body finally stopped, and was slowly pulled out, Zero stretched out one hand to grasp the spider silk, and the other hand was not idle, and began to prepare for fire magic.
Gao Lin Pang Spider pulled for about a few minutes, and finally pulled Zero out of the quagmire. Zero was pulled to the ground and slid several meters, and just wanted to stand up and stabilize his body, he was quickly pulled over by Gao Lin Pang Spider, and with a lift of his other hand, Zero directly threw a fire magic to burn off the spider silk that was entwined with him, and after getting up from the ground, he ran in the direction of the swamp. Unexpectedly, as he ran, there was a strong suction force from behind him, and his figure suddenly stagnated, and the surrounding grass, trees, sand and stones were also sucked behind him.
Zero looked back, a magic array was erected in front of the Gao Lin Pang Spider, and Zero looked at the simple and mysterious magic array and was a little stunned, he didn't expect this stupid-looking big spider to be able to use this kind of wind magic that exceeded level 20. Although this magic is not very aggressive, Zero can see that the space around the magic array has been somewhat distorted, and the suction of this wind magic is so strong that it can distort space.
Zero screamed in his heart, and his body slid backwards, and he hurriedly cast a magic array.
Zero's feet were firmly on the ground, and his legs were pulled by the suction behind him and dragged two long dents on the ground. Just when Zero was less than ten meters away from Gao Lin Pang Spider, Zero turned around and directly raised his hand and threw out a "Yan Chong" at the magic array in front of Gao Lin Pang Spider.
A long tongue of fire rushed towards Gao Lin Pang Spider, the wind helped the fire, and the flame seemed to encounter fuel oil the moment it touched the wind magic array, and exploded directly in front of the wind magic array, blowing up a small mushroom-shaped fireball, and the ferocious flames exploded directly on Gao Lin Pang Spider's body.
Zero lay on the ground to avoid catching fire, but fortunately his lower body was covered with mud, and his clothes were so wet that they would not be scorched by the fire. He heard the painful scream of the Gao Lin Pang Spider, looked back at it and kept shaking its huge body in place, laughed proudly, said to it "self-inflicted", and stood up to run.
At this moment, Gao Lin Pang Spider opened his mouth and directly spit out a large mouthful of thick green and smelly venom, Zero was only a dozen meters away from it at this time, he was taken aback, and ran in a hurry, trying to avoid the large piece of venom falling from the top of his head, but it was too late.
Zero couldn't dodge, a large piece of venom stuck to his back, he felt his clothes soaked with the venom, and the tingling sensation quickly appeared on the skin of his back. Zero panicked, and quickly stripped off the clothes on his upper body, before he had time to check the injury on his back, the Gao Lin Pang Spider behind him had already extinguished the fire on his body, and chased after Zero with great momentum.
Zero immediately rushed forward, the main thing now is to escape, and if your life can be saved, let's talk about healing.
Zero unfolded the field to probe the ground beneath his feet, although it was only a few tens of meters, but if he was careful enough, he could avoid the swamp. The Gaolin Spider behind it was in hot pursuit, and if it wanted to escape from its feet, it had to flee into the swamp.
Zero ran and jumped around the edge of the swamp, and in the blink of an eye he had run hundreds of meters. Gao Lin Pang Spider didn't chase far behind Zero, and one spider leg fell into the mud, and it took half a day to pull it out, and Zero had disappeared into a thick fog in front of him. Gao Lin Pang Spider let out a "hiss" cry in anger, and after wandering on the swamp ground for a long time, he could only leave in a huff.
Zero gasped as he ran on the few pieces of land in the swamp pool where he could settle down, he didn't know how long he had walked, and the skin on his back with venom turned from the initial stinging pain to itching, and even accompanied by an insect-like pain. Zero felt a dry mouth, but he had already drunk a whole pot of water, he was feverish, and even hallucinated, as if he had seen a lot of demonic beasts around him, and as if he had seen a clear stream, and by the stream was Joshervey smiling at him, and when he walked in, Joshervey turned into an ugly beast spitting venom and pounced on him......
Zero slapped himself a few times, forcing himself to cheer himself up, he was a little sober, his face didn't feel much pain, but behind him he felt as if there were thousands of poisonous insects eating and biting him, with a hot sting in the itch, he even suspected that his back had rotted.
Zero gradually felt that he couldn't breathe, either because of poisoning or because of miasma. He gasped for air, consciousness began to blur again, but he didn't have the strength to wake himself up again, he walked blindfolded, and staggered through the fog. Suddenly, he leaned forward and fell to the wet ground.
