Chapter 399: It Must Be an Illusion!
The leader of the echinoderms was furious and roared incessantly.
But the delicious humans in front of them, the force they displayed was obviously beyond their usual predatory range. Under the flamethrow, even if any fish that escaped the net successfully rushed into the formation, they were quickly surrounded and killed under the obstruction of the gun array. After paying nearly half of the casualties, the acanthic beasts were still unable to achieve a crushing victory, and they began to flee, no longer caring about the threat of their leader.
The leader of the tallest acanthic beast roared at the expedition team very unwillingly.
The last step is to turn around and leave.
If there is no terrible fire, then these humans will surely turn into delicious food.
Not to mention that the leader of the Echinoderm thinks so, even Cepesh feels that the flamethrower is the key item in this victory. He observed repeatedly, and then asked Renard curiously, "You are magic items made by wizards, aren't they? But it's amazing that such a powerful magic item can be used by any ordinary person!"
"It's even more amazing, if the gun could be used, I'd kill all the damn brutes!" Renard was very upset.
"Casualties are impossible to avoid, all we can do is minimise!" reassured the deputy head of the regiment, Hugo.
"I'm the one who should be angry, because of your cowardly retreat, our Eastern European Grand Alliance has suffered heavy casualties, and your Knights Templar and the Eye of God must give us an explanation!" Big Ivan was angry, because the spear array was broken through by the acanthic beast, so that the members of the Eastern European Grand Alliance, who were in charge of long-range shooting support in the middle of the battle formation, could not react at all. He felt that he had been tricked by the Knights Templar and the Eye of God, otherwise, there would be no reason for him to slip through the net.
"Who cares about you!" Duke, the fast gunslinger of the Eye of God, sneered, "No one owes you anything here!"
"What are you talking about? is your attitude?" said Big Ivan, furious.
"I'll talk about this later. Now is not the most opportune time. Bird replied lightly, when did the Eye of God ever fear a threat?
"Hmph. We'll see!" Big Ivan's eyes were as cold as ice, and he stared at Bird deadly. Bird, the old fox, pretended not to see. Big Ivan couldn't help Bird, and turned his face to look at Renard and Hugo: "Your attitude is the same?"
"I'm sorry, we miscalculated the changes on the battlefield, but the accident is definitely not what we wanted! If that doesn't work, then I don't have anything to say!" Reynard is not as confident as the Vision, after all, his team is mainly mixed in Europe.
If the Knights Templar and the Eastern European Grand Alliance are dead. Then it will only wake up with laughter in the dreams of competitors such as the Teutonic Knights and the Knights of Malta.
Big Ivan also didn't want to go to war with the Templars.
At least not now.
The belligerent and irritable Big Ivan took a deep breath and nodded: "Forget it this time, but if there is a next time, we will not swallow our anger anymore, we are willing to pay for the interests of the team, but it does not mean that we are easy to bully!"
Renard Dark Khan, you hairy bears, it's not bad if you don't bully others, how dare anyone bully you.
Even if there is. That's what the three bosses of the Dark Temple, the Eye of God, and the Plantagenet Dynasty are all about.
Each head of the echinoderm has a blood nucleus in its body.
But.
Although there were as many as forty or fifty wounded and burned, only seventeen were actually killed, and the blood cores obtained by each force were pitifully small. Fortunately, this is all the blood core of the big C-grade quality of an adult fist. Each one has great value.
In addition to the blood core, the thick skin of these echinoderms is also of considerable value.
"These skins are very good trades, if you want to. Each skin can be exchanged for seventy or eighty magic crystals, depending on the quality of the skin you peel off. If the whole skin is intact, there is no perfect quality of trauma at all. A hundred magic crystals may also be bid, especially those merchants from the city! And teeth, don't you want teeth? These are rare things, the four longest fangs, each worth a magic crystal, the nodular-headed echinoderm is full of treasures, blood, flesh, internal organs, bones, and even teeth, all of which can be exchanged for supplies!"
"This guy, do you think you can divert our attention by saying that? If it weren't for his deliberate concealment, our team wouldn't have suffered casualties at all!" Fox snorted.
"Don't just hide the information, this chaotic stone forest with nowhere to hide is the place of death that he deliberately guided, okay!" Kazama Eda was also very unhappy.
"It's normal, if he's really kind, it's weird!" Lin Dong shrugged his shoulders.
"What now? Why don't we take him down?" asked Fawkes.
"Let's suppress the anger first, watch the play slowly, this big drama will continue to be staged, as an audience, we can't spoil this extremely rare atmosphere. Lin Dong thinks that when the drama ends, it is not too late to settle accounts slowly.
"Will there be danger?" the griffin was very worried, this is the enemy's stronghold, don't patronize the play, put yourself in it.
"If you're afraid, you can go back first. Fawkes smiled sheepishly.
"It's so big, but it's smaller than the tip of a needle. Kazama sighed cooperatively.
"I've been born with no fear of what it is!" the griffin was furious, you dare to underestimate Uncle Griffin?
"Then why don't you pack your bags and get ready to go?, do you have to have your Celestial-sama to help you move your trembling legs?" Fawkes snorted with disdain, her opinion of a griffin was that it was a barely qualified humanoid luggage machine.
"I'm excited, okay?" retorted the griffon.
"And you, you have been skinning for so long, and you all boast that you are the prince of skinning!" Fawkes rewarded Don Quixote with a bitter scolding for their miserable coolies. Because of the lack of strength in the battle just now, Don Quixote and the others were punished as coolies one by one, responsible for skinning and dissecting the acanthic beasts killed by Lin Dong, Fawkes, and Kazama Ejiko.
Skinning the acanthyl beast. It's not easy.
Fortunately, there is strength in numbers.
Jonathan and Remiga of the Dark Temple also came to help, and finally managed to level out the three-headed behemoth......
Since the attack of the echinoderm. Although Tsepeshi didn't say anything on the surface, his eyes paid more attention to Lin Dong, the so-called scholar. I often look at it quietly. It seems that they want to get a more complete picture of the most laid-back young man in this ranks.
Unfortunately, his wish was destined to fail.
Not to mention that the Dark Temple would not give him this opportunity, even the people from the Vision of God and the Plantagenet Dynasty also felt that Lin Dong, the 'Mr. Wood', was the first element to return safely. Therefore, no matter how Tsepes intentionally or unintentionally provoked the topic, Renard, Thomas, Philip and others laughed and said nothing, and even the honest Silver Spoon Wise John and Archbishop Nero also decided that Lin Dong was a scholar, and had no intention of introducing the other party at all.
"Is there anything wrong with the blood core?" Fox found that Lin Dong had taken the blood core since then. I've been frowning all the time.
"The blood core energy of the acanthic beast is weaker than I imagined!" Lin Dong didn't understand this.
"You're saying that the fighting power of the acanthyl doesn't match the blood core in its body?" Fawkes immediately realized the mystery inside: "You mean, someone has done something with these acanthus?"
"It's suspicious for now, but it must be exactly what I guessed. Lin Dong thought of something, but there was no more information, and it was just a guess for the time being. If you want to know the truth, you have to wait for the enemy to reveal more things. As early as when he saw the bobtail monster and the rock toad, Lin Dong had doubts in his heart, and then the tumor head echinoderm appeared. Citing the conjecture in his mind, if there could be one more infernal creature or more, then he felt that he could draw conclusions.
"Why don't we add to the fire!" Kazama is a man who fears that the world will not be chaotic.
"Don't worry, we might be better off this way. It's more suitable for investigating the truth!" Lin Dong waved his hand and refused, sometimes he had to let people perform and let people play freely. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this scene to be exciting.
"Doesn't it matter if the blood seeps into the ground, I think it's more like an evil sacrificial ritual!" Fawkes felt the acanthyl being dissected. Blood splattered all over the ground and seeped into the loess. There seems to be an indescribable fluctuation of energy, but when you sense it carefully, there is nothing.
"Let's go!" Lin Dong didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but just asked yƬ to leave here.
"Let's go, let's go!" the griffon had been waiting for this for a long time, and God knows when the echinoderms would return, and if they would bring a large group of companions back to take revenge, it would be over. Even if it doesn't, the smell of blood here is strong, and if it attracts other creatures, such as wyverns or something, it's no joke!
The wyvern, a creature like a griffin, has never been seen.
He would like to see it, but he definitely does not want to be on such an unconcealed loess slope.
If possible, it is best to have a wyvern in a cage with a heavy chain strapped to it, so that it is safest to observe it up close.
The griffin looked up at the sky and prayed secretly: "Wyvern, Wyvern, don't show up here, even if you do, don't look for me, Lord Celestial's heavy sword is not fun, you'd better get acquainted, don't impulsively fly over and be a sword ghost, of course, Uncle Griffin's fist is not easy to mess with......"
His rambling wasn't over yet.
Grey skies.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow swept through the sky.
"Dazzled, I must have been too nervous, so my eyes hallucinated, yes, it must be like this!" The griffin wiped his eyes and found that there was nothing in the sky, so he quickly wiped a cold sweat from his forehead, anyway, no one saw it, so it was an illusion!
"Why does the sky seem to be windy? whirring, but there's no wind here!" Don Quixote looked up in bewilderment.
"You're an auditory hallucination!" the griffin sweated.
"I think it's thunder!" Pansa said he heard it too.
"Don't be scared, how can it be thunder, there is no sign of rain in the sky, you are so nervous, that's why you have this strange auditory hallucination!"
"Looks like you're nervous, isn't it?" Don Quixote and Panza noticed that something was wrong with the griffon in front of them.
"I didn't!" the griffin was hard-mouthed, but the sweat on his face betrayed him.
"There seems to be a big shadow in the sky...... "Kazama said suddenly.
"It could be a wyvern!" Fawkes said, and the griffin couldn't hold it on the spot, wasn't it a hallucination? Damn, why wasn't it an illusion? I'm not mentally prepared to fight the wyvern at all!
"Is this a flying dragon? It looks a little weird! But it's quite big!"
"Damn, there's something in the sky!"
"There are monsters!"
"What kind of monster is this, oh my God, it's flying very fast, crossbowman, hurry up and aim at it, it looks like it's going to attack us!"
As the dark shadows hovering in the sky got lower and lower, the exploration team on the ground spotted the uninvited guest one after another.
Suddenly, the mercenaries of the entire Stone Forest were in chaos. (To be continued......) R1292
