Chapter 0946: Confrontation in the Night
The last month has been one of the most difficult for the Zambis Empire.
Most of the Empire's high-ranking knights have gathered in the Dabire Heights, and under the command of the powerful fourth-order paladin Roland, they are bravely attacking the tower of the evil witch.
At this time, some powerful and evil wizards once again broke into the Enwik plane and began to wreak havoc in the northern part of the empire.
These outsiders don't seem to belong to one faction, and as soon as they arrive on the Envik plane, they are caught up in a frenzy of attacks and battles against each other. Compared to them, the natives of the Envik plane are too fragile and small.
Not to mention expelling these outsiders, even if you get even a little closer to them, you can be destroyed in the apocalyptic wizard battle. Two wizards from the Terteroplane, a man and a woman, have destroyed two border towns one after another, and concocted several terrible dead realms in the Sidrak Mountains that no one dares to approach.
And as the two wizards left the Sidrak Mountains and entered the Empire, the damage to the Empire in terms of personnel and material caused by their reckless actions began to skyrocket, and even caused a catastrophe in the northern part of the Empire.
It wasn't Grim or Katie who caused the disaster, it was the plague spirit.
As a Tier 2 pinnacle Plague Poison Spirit, it is not qualified to participate in the battle between two Tier 3 wizards. As a result, Grim almost never summons the plague spirit during daytime battles, only sending it out at night to harass Katie.
And the only way to fight the Plague Poison Spirit is to apply poison!
Poison the air or land that Katie may pass through, the water sources where Katie may rest, and even the jungle creatures that Katie may feed...... In short, everything that Katie might come into contact with, it happily released a lot of biotoxins and plague spores.
It's a pity that Katie also came prepared, and her own poison resistance is also amazingly high, so she didn't fall into the poisonous traps laid by the plague poison spirit. Instead, it was the ordinary jungle creatures who suffered from the pond fish and fell victim to these poisonous traps.
Those who were poisoned on the spot were fine, and there were some hard-nosed jungle creatures that carried the plague spores out of the mountains, and thus passed these terrible plague toxins to a wider range.
For a time, the plague was rampant in the northern part of the empire, and the speed of the epidemic spread was extremely alarming.
It was another starless night, and two bonfires burning next to each other lit up the wilderness once again.
Although it was late summer and early autumn, the nights in the wilderness were still so cold.
Grim sat around the campfire, expertly roasting the venison in his hands, the amber-like sauce brushing the surface of the venison, making a slight sizzling sound as it roasted over the fire. From time to time, a drop or two of golden grease dripped onto the fire below, causing a series of slight crackling sounds.
The strange puppet-like plague spirit sat quietly on Grim's shoulder, his chin propped up on his hand, silently in thought. And on top of its palm-sized wooden body, from time to time there were clouds of turquoise fluorescence, coiling around its body several times and submerging into the body.
Grim, who was close at hand, sensed it very clearly, and every time the turquoise fluorescence lit up, wisps of strange energy would diffuse from the surrounding void and merge into the body of the plague spirit. And the energy aura on its body will also increase a little.
Truth be told, this little bit of energy enhancement is simply insignificant. If Grim hadn't been in contact with it, and had the meticulous scanning of the chip, it would have been almost impossible to detect this increase in energy.
However, no matter how weak the energy is, if it is continuous, the accumulation is also considerable!
Therefore, in the past few days, Grim could clearly feel that the plague poison spirit was frantically hoarding energy in order to break through the unbreakable third-order threshold.
And the faint energy it ingests actually comes from those living beings who are poisoned by it.
Those weak jungle creatures, such as centipedes, lizards, and spotted snakes, the life energy that they can bring to the plague spirits when they die under the poison of the plague is simply indiscerning. However, as the plague toxin spread to the human realm, the life energy obtained by the plague spirit immediately began to skyrocket.
Under the effect of the strange law of life, the death of any creature and plant from the plague toxin will enhance the power of the plague poison spirit in disguise!
Therefore, these days, the Plague Poison Spirit is undoubtedly the most rewarding and abundant guy in this strange team. And Grim also relied on the tempering and training of more than a month, and gradually had a trace of his own fighting style and methods, and he gained a lot.
However, corresponding to them, that sword Ji Katie looked a little embarrassed and a little down!
In another wasteland less than 200 meters away from the Grim fire, Katie also lit a bonfire and confronted them from afar.
For unknown reasons, Katie has always struggled to hunt down large carnivorous or herbivorous creatures. Therefore, she can only choose those gophers, snakes or lizards that can be found everywhere.
To be honest, if you ignore the well-defined line between flesh and metal on Katie's body and face, she is still a petite and graceful beautiful woman. Her face was extremely beautiful, but her tight lips were as thin as two sharp blades, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of a cold murderous aura.
At this time, she was staring at Grim who was leisurely enjoying the food in the distance with hatred, and with a twist and squeeze of her hands, the black-scaled snake in her hand was dislocated all over her body, and the fine scales around her body also fell like snowflakes.
As soon as she shoved the black-scaled snake into her mouth, barely requiring any chewing, Katie swallowed quickly. The two-meter-long black-scaled snake was swallowed by her in two bites, and finally only an inch long and a short snake tail trembled and swayed around its mouth.
Staring coldly at Grim and the puppet monster on his shoulder, Katie inhaled in hatred, and the last of the snake's tail disappeared into her scarlet mouth with a thud.
There is no normal guy who can become a Tier 3 wizard!
The black-scaled snake's famous snake venom was a joke to Katie, her inhuman stomach pouch could even directly digest energy crystals if necessary. Therefore, after devouring one or two elemental crystal nuclei of a second-order demonic beast, the magical energy in Dao Ji Katie's body was quickly replenished.
And the creatures that devour flesh and blood are more just ingesting their flesh and blood tissue, so as to maintain their own strange body of half human and half machine. And every day, Katie has to swallow bioactive concoctants regularly.
It was a black, viscous, sorcery potion that resembled the lubricant of engine oil!
It is only by relying on the biological activity they bring to them that the mechanical wizards can avoid irreconcilable conflicts between their flesh and blood parts and mechanical parts. It is precisely because of the perennial use of bioactive concoctors, a strong taste of witch medicine, that their taste buds are almost completely lost.
Mechanical wizards can't tell any smell!
In their eyes, any food only has high and low energy and blood activity, but they can't distinguish the so-called bitter, sweet, salty, sour, spicy and other basic tastes. Therefore, Grim's eating also requires various delicate means such as barbecue and cooking. But Dao Ji Katie has omitted these intermediate steps many times when eating, and swallowed it alive directly.
A man and a woman, two third-order wizards, separated by a distance of nearly 200 meters, confronted each other coldly while adjusting their state.
If possible, new battles can break out at any time.
At a distance of only 200 meters, it only takes 3 seconds under the full burst of Daoji Katie, which is just enough for Grim to completely cast a powerful third-order sorcery. As for that third-order elemental magic machine, due to its terrible speed, it was completely reduced to a 'waste'!
As soon as Grim unleashed the elemental magic weapon, Katie didn't hesitate to turn around and run.
Anyway, with the speed of elemental magic and Grim, it is impossible to catch up with her.
As for the news that the Elemental Demon Machine has a magic furnace hidden in its body, Grim doesn't plan to leak it out so easily. So he also pretended to use the elemental magic weapon to scare the other party away and quickly put it away, looking worried that the energy loss would be too huge.
Only when Grim feels tired and needs deep meditation to recover his mental strength, he will release the elemental magic weapon for a long time to act as a bodyguard, so that he can have a peaceful sleep time.
The battle with this Tier 3 mechanical witch is obviously a long battle, and Grim must do his best to maintain his mental state and strength level. And when that knife girl Katie feels tired, she will not hesitate to run away, find a far enough away, hidden enough place to eat, drink and sleep.
Grim also tried to send low-level wind spirits and earth elementals to chase after the other party, but unfortunately they were all thrown off by the other party.
And when Grim escaped three or four hundred miles in one breath while Katie was not there, this strange half-human and half-mechanical guy would still chase after him unhurriedly, as if she could clearly grasp Grim's movements.
After a few attempts, Grim was completely speechless, and he gave up his plan to get rid of his opponent and began to rush and fight.
As a result, there was an embarrassing scene in front of me where they couldn't help each other!
Peaceful coexistence? This is simply impossible under the condition that each belongs to a different camp and shoulders a different task.
As a third-order wizard with grand ideals and beliefs, neither Grim nor Katie is ready to die in this filthy and filthy lower plane.
Therefore, whenever there is a danger to their lives, they will not hesitate to abandon the seemingly beautiful fighter in front of them and wait for the next opportunity to appear.
They still have a long life, and there are so many beautiful things waiting for them to experience and enjoy, and they can't afford to bury themselves in this ugly world for a 'little' resource and a task.
However, just as the two wizards were resting and eating, and at the same time silently confronting each other, an invisible strange cold suddenly swept over their bodies.
It's not that the ambient temperature has changed, it's not that the magical energy has been disturbed, it's ...... Rather, it is a strange throbbing of the mind that cannot be described in words. It's like...... As if he was suddenly stared at by some powerful strange creature, his body and mind were subconsciously contracting and throbbing.
Damn, that feeling is here again......
Every time this feeling arises, nothing good happens!
Sure enough, just as the two third-order wizards were secretly cursing to themselves, the darkness in the distance was suddenly full of people, the lights were bright, and the sound of horses' hooves was rolling in like a storm.
An enemy has appeared!
