Chapter 0023: Escape from Death
As the saying goes, a thief doesn't go empty!
It's rare for me to escape here with my life, and I'm sorry for Simba's "hospitality" when I turn around!
Grim condensed his elemental vision, scanning the crypt like a treasure hunter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are very few of the mountains of debris that make Grim look at them. These ghost women trapped in the mud swamp have no chance to scavenge for any good things, so don't look at the "treasures" they have collected, but there are not many that are really valuable.
Seven or eight red bead-like sacs of high-grade blood, a broken fragment of a witchcraft that could no longer be seen in its original appearance, a metal ore the size of a fist that flashed with a strange blue glow, and an inexplicable white stone the size of a goose egg...... Without saying a word, Grim desperately stuffed them all into his pocket.
These were all trophies specially selected by Grim with slight elemental fluctuations, and as for the other miscellaneous bits and pieces, Grim discarded them all. After all, he is still in the escape stage, and the probability of escaping with too many things is much smaller.
As the wild lair of the ghost woman, there is more than one tunnel leading to this cave, and it is obvious that Simba, the leader of the ghost woman, is also proficient in the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. But today was destined to be cheaper than Grim, an amateur thief, and he briefly distinguished his bearings, and plunged headlong into a damp pit far from the mire.
Half an hour later, in another quagmire more than a hundred meters from the central quagmire, a strange human head emerged. The thick, dirty mud continued to slide down from the top of his head, and Grim showed only his eyes and nostrils, silently watching the movement in the distance.
Originally, this quagmire was supposed to be inhabited by the Ghost Woman Clan, but apparently they were also attracted by the battle in the distance, and joined the warband in Simba's hissing and rage, so it made Grim sneak out as if he was in a no-man's land.
The battles in the distance took place under the muddy and sticky mud, and only the sewage on the surface of the pool could be seen bubbling and bubbling, but the specific battle situation could not be explored. Grim didn't want to see that horrible little loli again, so he turned around and swam towards the edge of the quagmire.
Alice's weird and unpredictable spatial attack should be borne by the ghost women!
But when he sneaked to Tan's side and was about to climb ashore, the mud exploded not far behind him, and a huge swamp crocodile suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit him fiercely. The suddenness of the incident, and such a harsh natural environment, became the best cover for the swamp giant crocodile, and it was not until a moment before the other party's attack was launched that Grim received a crazy warning from the biochip.
With a series of rapid tumbles and twists, Grim narrowly escaped the deadly bite of the swamp crocodile. The other man's mouth, full of sharp fangs and sharp teeth, gripped together heavily around his waist, and the vicious wind and the smell of rotting made Grim's hairs stand on end in an instant.
If he hadn't been reminded by the chip to hide quickly, this ferocious swamp crocodile would definitely be able to bite off his body in one bite. When the time comes, all ambitions will be wasted!
Taking advantage of the misses of the opponent's blow, Grim climbed onto the muddy shore with solid ground with both hands and feet. Turning around, a fast and ruthless flame bolt hit the opponent's second open mouth.
The "Flame Arrow" that was in the process of solidification had already been completed, which allowed him to complete the attack smoothly.
Bursting elemental flames engulfed the swamp crocodile's head in an instant, and a furious explosion of flames mixed with broken teeth and flesh fragments rained down on the shore. The swamp giant crocodile writhed wildly under the severe pain, and its huge body splashed muddy waves several meters high, stirring the shore into a mess.
One of the main reasons why Grim chose Flame Bolt instead of Fireball as his first ranged sorcery is that Flame Bolt has some physical attack effects in addition to elemental attack abilities. This is especially noticeable when attacking some highly resistant creeps.
Of course, Grim would never admit that the 54 rune circuits of the Fireball Technique's super difficulty was one of the more important reasons why he chose to give up.
However, Grim's hateful shot inevitably leaked his position.
"Good boy, so you're hiding here! don't you want to run ......"
A shrill and crisp female voice suddenly came from a distance, and the terrible Alice broke free from the central quagmire against the spatial barrier, and roared loudly at Grim from afar.
Unfortunately, in the next second, a long whip made of swamp special rattan rolled up, wrapping the transparent shield on Alice's body. As soon as the little Lori's body was half exposed, she was imprisoned in place by the other party.
Countless ghost women are like fierce beasts that are not afraid of death, constantly rushing and slamming against the spatial barrier. Their sharp claws and ferocious bites couldn't help the transparent defenses, so more of them simply pounced on the shield, trying to use their bodies to crush the hateful humans who had slaughtered many of their kind back into the quagmire.
For a while, it was like dumplings, and countless ghost women were cruising around the transparent protective shield, constantly stepping on the bodies of their companions to pounce out of the water, and then frantically colliding with Alice, who was struggling to get up. This made Alice, who was desperate to get rid of them, angry.
Driven by her madness, the spatial rifts visible to the naked eye were like peerless divine weapons, constantly winding around the protective shield. Any ghost woman who rubbed into the spatial rift, whether it was a passing limb or a thick and tough body, would be silently split in half, and purple-black viscous dirty blood was splashed everywhere.
But even so, the ghost women are still going forward and on, and they don't have the slightest fear.
Simba's monitor lizard even crawled close to sneak attack, and whipped its tail at the impregnable barrier outside Alice's body, directly submerging most of her body into the muddy water. The violent concussion spread to Alice, making her slightly fragile body even more unable to stop bleeding from her mouth and nose.
So across the vast quagmire, Alice and the swarming ghosts frantically strangled together, and Grim was also in danger under the incessant pounce of the swamp crocodile.
Although the sudden flame bolt just now hit the giant crocodile's mouth hard, blurring the flesh and blood inside, this damage was not enough for a fierce monster with tenacious vitality to kill it. So the furious crocodile locked its hatred firmly on Grim, and its large, scaly body broke out of the mire and pounced on him again and again.
And the sluggish rays that shot out made Grim even more exhausted. Most of these damn swamp monsters have some earth-based abilities, and they have rough skin and thick flesh, sharp teeth and claws, and they can fight and fight in this kind of muddy swamp, and they can literally entangle people to death.
Moreover, in the powerful perception of the chip, Grim can also find that there are waterlines floating on the water surface of several nearby mud pools, indicating that some underwater creatures are stealthily and clearly rushing towards this battlefield.
Damn, it's fallen into a monster's den!
While constantly thinking about fragments, Grim narrowly avoided the serial attacks of this terrible swamp crocodile under the repeated prompts of the chip.
He stood not so much on the shore as on a narrow, muddy ridge between one quagmire and another. The soil is sparse, and if you step on it, you can go straight to your ankles. It's hard to escape the swamp crocodile's hunt in such an environment, unless he can fly like Alice.
At this time, it was too late to regret why he hadn't learned the levitation technique of the wind system, and Grim ran away with a shallow foot, looking at the waterlines that had rushed to the front, and his heart was desolate. The witchcraft talisman in his hand had been triggered by him countless times, but it was useless.
The fear of the swamp monsters against wizards is still a great deterrent under normal circumstances. But today's monsters have been stirred up by blood, and it will be extremely difficult to deter them.
Woo......
Evil winds blow.
The foul pool splashed wantonly, and two behemoth-like swamp crocodiles burst out of the water at the same time, opening a terrifying jaw large enough to swallow Grim's entire person, and biting him viciously from both front and back.
Look at the fishy mouths that are close at hand, look at the deranged fangs that shimmer with coldness, and look at the bottomless deep esophagus...... The alarm of the chip in Grim's mind had already sounded, but it was difficult to find an escape from the current crisis.
Just as Grim closed his eyes and could only wait for death silently, his body shook and flew up like a cloud.
Click......
The screeching of fangs was terrifying, but Grim escaped from their bloody jaws by a fraction of a second, and flew close to the surface of the water at breakneck speed in their low roar.
Belch...... What's going on?
Grim's eyes opened in horror to see the murky water rushing under his feet, and the sound of flapping wings echoed above his head.
Looking up, Grim was surprised to see a huge humanoid bat flying with him.
Yes, it's hard!
This humanoid bat has a pair of fiery red bat wings that are four or five meters away, but its body is slightly slender and thin. If it flies normally, of course, it won't be a problem, but with a big living person like Grim, its strength is a little insufficient.
New swamp monsters? Of course not. Grim could sense a faint smell of sorcery and a hint of familiarity in it. With the help of the chip, through its familiar and unfamiliar face, a woman's face appeared in Grim's mind.
