"Blood...... Is it ......?"

Kaos stood up abruptly and shouted to the people around him, "Run!"

In the next second, Kaos rushed into the distance, and the few people who worked with him didn't realize what was going on, and Linas in the distance suddenly looked at Kaos suspiciously, and then, Linas slowly opened her eyes.

"Dangerous—"

Before Linas could shout, the next second, a huge fish head came out of the sand, and its huge mouth directly spat out everything in the range, and the four people who were sorting out the supplies like Kaos were eaten before they could react.

"Ahh

"This ...... What is this?"

"Fish? no, it's a shark, how can there be a shark here. ”

Everyone was frightened by this sudden sight, and for a while, everyone was in chaos.

Kaos rolled to Linas's side, and Linas helped Kaos to his feet.

"Are you alright?"

Kaos glanced back at the shark behind him, and immediately said: "This is the earth rock hunting shark, a high-level magical beast that lives in the desert Gobi, in the sand, it is like an ordinary shark in the water, it is very dangerous." ”

Kaos immediately judged that the shark that even Linas didn't recognize, but despite this, the words "high-level magical beast" mentioned by Kaos made Linas frown.

"In other words, I met a big guy!" Lynas said solemnly.

Kaos nodded, "Be careful, in the desert, the penetration of magic into the sand is not as strong as in the sea, that is, you can't feel it when it dives into the sand without any more magic." ”

Indeed, if it weren't for that, Linas wouldn't have noticed it just as the Earth Rock Shark was about to appear.

"Damn, miscalculated. Linas gritted her teeth as she immediately shouted at the panicked crowd around her.

"Everyone, run, the high-level mage will stay behind and fight with me against the earth-rock shark, and the middle-level mage will run behind us with the others. ”

As soon as the words fell, many people around them didn't care about the materials in their hands or anything, they directly threw down their heavy things and began to flee.

The earth rock hunting shark in the distance roared, and everyone wanted to get away from it as if they were crazy, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Damn!"

Linas suddenly stretched out her right hand, and in the next second, countless rock thorns emerged from the ground in front of Linas and stabbed directly at the earth rock hunting shark, however, when the rock thorns pierced the skin of the earth rock hunting shark, the rock thorns were directly broken, and did not hurt the earth rock hunting shark in the slightest.

"What!"

The senior mages of the team all stepped forward, and they used their magic to attack the earthy rock hunting sharks.

Fire, ice, whirlwind...... All the magic fell on the Earth Rock Shark, and the smoke and dust from the attack blocked everyone's view.

"Is the attack effective?"

"Hit!"

"Die, beast. ”

The excess magic generated by the magic hit the earth rock hunting shark began to rush to Kaos, but suddenly, Kaos's eyes constricted.

"I didn't ...... It didn't work!" Kaos said tremblingly.

"What!"

"Whew-"

In the smoke and dust, an angry roar dispersed the smoke and dust, and the earth rock hunting shark appeared in front of everyone intact, and everyone was shocked when they saw it.

"Ineffective attack?"

"This ...... How is this possible?"

At least seven high-level mages attacked, including Linas, however, in front of the Earth Rock Shark, their attacks were nothing more than tickling, and they didn't even break through its defenses.

After the cry of the earth rock hunting shark ended, it stretched out the shark fin buried in the sand and slapped the ground, and for a moment, it was as if the whole earth was trembling, as if an earthquake was coming, and everyone lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Soon, the Rock Shark burrowed back into the sand and disappeared as if it hadn't appeared.

"Let's go...... Gone?"

One of them stood up and said in confusion, but Kaos silently closed his eyes and felt the changes around him.

Soon, Kaos opened his eyes, and he shouted to the two mages standing at the front, "Hurry up." ”

As soon as the words fell, the earth began to tremble again, and one of the mages immediately retreated after hearing Kaos's shout, and before the other could react, at this moment, the earth rock hunting shark reappeared, and swallowed the slow mage in one gulp.

Everyone's faces changed dramatically when they saw this.

"This ...... Why!" Linas shouted angrily, "everyone back away, don't be left alone." ”

Linas had just finished speaking, when Kaos on the side suddenly knelt on the ground holding his chest and began to vomit, and Linas immediately asked, "Are you okay?"

After Kaos finished vomiting, Kaos said with a pale face, "That person...... He...... He's dead. ”

“！！！！！”

“......”

Maybe it was expected, maybe it was meant to be, the person who was swallowed by the earth rock shark, no one could imagine that he would still be alive, but when Kaos really confirmed this, everyone was stunned.

Death, is it death that greets them?

――

The death of a high-level mage at the beginning of the year, even Linas did not expect such a situation, but the most important thing now is not this, nor is it whether your own attack can have an effect on the earth rock shark, but now the most important thing is the psychological pressure brought by the death of a high-level mage to your side.

"Don't panic, everyone, the more panicked we are at this time, the more likely we are to die here. ”

Even at this time, Linas still calmly commanded everyone, because she knew that if she panicked, then everyone would really be finished. But in fact, she was also scared, but the fact did not make her panic at all.

"But...... We can't hurt it at all!"

A bald-headed high-ranking mage said with a look of horror, of course he was not stupid, in this case, he also knew very well that their situation was dangerous, and if they couldn't do damage to the earth rock shark, then this battle was pointless at all.

"yes...... yes, even Link is dead...... We...... Isn't it going to be ...... too?" said the other mage, and it was clear that the fighting spirit of the two had greatly diminished.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be able to figure it out. ”

However, another burly man said this, and Linas glanced at him and smiled.

"Thank you, Rollin. ”

"Be careful, it's coming again. ”

Kaos behind him suddenly said this, and sure enough, the earth rock hunting shark burrowed into the sand again, and again, as before, the surroundings returned to calm.

"Be careful, cheer up, and don't let your guard down. ”

Linas glanced at Kaos and asked, "Can you predict its actions in advance?"

I saw Kaos looking at her with a little paleness, "Reluctantly......

"That's good, then please remind everyone. ”

"Hmm. ”

Kaos took a deep breath, and then he was in a twelve-point fight.

If you don't pay attention, everyone will die!

If you don't pay attention, you'll die!

If you're not careful, Linas ...... Will die too!

Kaos closed his eyes, and suddenly, he felt like he was in a world of nothingness, where he was alone, a world of people.

But gradually, several more figures appeared around him, each of them exuding a majestic magical aura, and these people all stared at the surrounding situation with heavy faces, including Linas.

This is Kaos's talent, however, his talent is not to be able to perceive his surroundings, his talent is to ingest magical energy.

Magic ingestion can allow Kaos to absorb the surrounding magic to improve himself, and Kaos is in this way to judge the location of the earthy rock hunting shark through the magic power that can be absorbed, because the magic that the monster can exude is different from that of humans, so it is precisely because of this way that Kaos has avoided crises in this dangerous desert countless times.

"It's getting clearer, it's getting clearer!"

Kaos could already begin to roughly locate the location of the Dirt Rock Shark in his mind, and the location of the Earth Rock Shark became clearer and clearer.

"In ...... Bottom right, sixteen meters! It's coming out. ”

Kaos opened his eyes and said, and everyone immediately began to dodge after getting the position reported by Kaos, and sure enough, after everyone left, the earth rock hunting shark burst out of the sand, but it flew into the air.

"Okay, let's attack together!"

Seizing this opportunity, Linas immediately gave the order to attack, and everyone used their strongest magic to attack the Earth Rock Shark, and the Earth Rock Shark also let out a scream.

"Whew!"

The attack landed on the Dirt Rock Shark and knocked it away, however, this was only the effect of the impact of the magic blast, and it did not actually cause any damage to the Earth Rock Shark.

"Run. ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Linas shouted, and immediately ran in the direction where the person in front of her had left, and everyone else followed in Linnas's footsteps and began to run.

The Earth Rock Shark immediately adjusted itself as soon as it landed on the ground, angry at the mistake, and yelled in the direction of the crowd's escape.

"Whew-"

"Hurry up and don't look back. ”

Linas shouted, running wild as she stabilized everyone's emotions, and at this time she was worried that someone would become panicked out of fear, which was fatal.

Fortunately, no one made the mistake that Linas had imagined.

Suddenly, Kaos, who was running, didn't know why, he stumbled and fell to the ground, and Linas, who was closest to him, had his pupils constricted.

I saw Kaos kneeling directly on the ground, his face pale.

"Ah!!!h

At the same time, a scream was heard behind him, and Linas looked back to see a man behind them looking forward with a frightened expression, but his chest was pierced by a rock thorn.

"This—"

Linas didn't react for a while, until the Earth Rock Shark came over and ate the person in one bite, and the flesh splashed in the air, and Linas realized something.

"Linas, go!"

One of the men running in front of her turned around and shouted, and Linas helped Kaos to her feet, but she and Kaos were the last two people to run.

"Hug ...... I'm sorry, but I can't get used to the magic unleashed by the death of a high-level mage. ”

Kaos couldn't adapt to the magic released by the sudden death of such a high-level mage, such magic contained a powerful resentment in it, for Kaos, who was currently only at a low-level level, it was like drinking a bowl of extremely bitter tonic, and he couldn't refuse, he could only be forced to accept and absorb.

"It's okay...... It's okay......" Linas muttered.

Of course, the earth rock hunting shark behind him did not give up like this, it chased after it, and at the same time, the distance between it and Linas and Kaos was getting closer, suddenly, Kaos seemed to notice something, he looked back, only to see a rock spike flying from behind, aiming for Linas.

"Be careful. ”

Kaos immediately pounced on Linas, but the rock spike still pierced Kaos's arm.

"Ahh

Linas fell to the ground without realizing what was happening, and looking at Kaos's arm impaled by the rock spikes, Linas suddenly looked at the earthy rock hunting shark.

"It's ...... It can control the power of the earth elementals, get out!" Kaos said, fighting through the pain.

And Linas glanced at Kaos, and then said in a panic, "Then what do you do?"

"What should I do? What should I do, I'm just an orphan who came here and was rescued by you, and you are the leader of those dozens of people, do you need to say how to choose?"

With that, Kaos stood up, then pulled out the rock spikes, blood streaming down Kaos's arm, but there was no room for him to treat the wound at this point, because the earth rock hunting shark was only a few hundred meters away from them.

"Thank you for saving me, this is what I should have paid you back. ”

With that, Kaos ran in the direction of the Earth Rock Shark Hunter, but Linas just stood there and watched the boy who was more than ten years younger than himself come forward.

Watch him run for himself.

――

"Whew!!"

The Earth Rock Shark opened its bloody mouth, ready to eat Kaos in one bite, but when Kaos was about to be eaten, Kaos suddenly jumped to the side with all his might, and the Earth Rock Shark pounced.

After two laps in the sand, Kaos immediately stood up.

Then he ran in the opposite direction to Linas, talking as he ran.

"Stupid, come on!

As he spoke, Kaos waved his right hand that was dripping with blood, and as expected, the Earth Rock Shark immediately turned his attention to Kaos.

The smell of blood attracts it.

Seeing the Earth Rock Shark coming towards him, Kaos didn't know what to think, he was scared and relieved, he was scared because he was really afraid of it, he was really afraid of dying here like this, and he was glad that he could save Linas and save the woman who encouraged him to cheer himself up.

"Thank you, Linas, then...... Goodbye!"

Kaos smiled, and by this time, the Earth Rock Shark had already come behind Kaos, and this time it did not choose to rush, but planned to approach slowly, and then eat Kaos in one mouth, because then Kaos had nowhere to hide.

Gradually, the Earth Rock Shark opened its mouth behind Kaosdi, and Kaos was still running away desperately, although there was no point in running away at this time, but he still wanted to try, at least he had tried desperately, this was his own reason to prove that he had lived.

So be it!

Finally, the earth rock hunting shark bit down.
