Chapter 379: Storm Dwarf for fear of heights
Chapter 379: Storm Dwarf for fear of heights
At this time, Verdon undoubtedly fell into a very embarrassing situation - his right hand held Leitch's right wrist and kept feeding it with cold air, his left hand was slowly pulling a ghost-like transparent body out of Leitch's body, and his feet were clasped by a pair of ghostly black claws!
Obviously, the noisy and strange screams that appeared in the sky just now were undoubtedly a ploy of the enemy to attract Verdon's attention so that he could sneak up from below!
Of course, even so, for Leitch's side, it is not a desperate situation, because on their side, in addition to the Ice Sage, there are five real sages such as Harold!
But the severity of the reality was beyond Arthur's expectations—although the Ice Sage had fallen into a great predicament at the moment, the five vice deans were motionless!
The careful Short found that now there was a strange black light flickering under the feet of each of the five vice presidents, and the body of the vice president Harold was trembling slightly, looking like he wanted to move but couldn't move!
"Shhhh
"Boom, this is the so-called Ice Sage, it's still too tender!"
At this time, a gloomy strange laughter sounded in the sky, still as ethereal as before, making it impossible to know where the sound came from!
"Bang!"
At the same time as he spoke, the pair of ghost claws that held Verdon's ankles pulled violently into the ground, obviously intending to drag Verdon's whole person into the ground!
But the result was beyond the expectations of the other party, he failed to do this - the ground under Verdon's feet cracked and collapsed in a large area, but he himself was still standing firmly on the ground! Not only that, the ground under Verdon's feet was rapidly freezing, the cracked ground was quickly closed by the new ice, and even the gap between the ghost claws piercing the ground was healing little by little!
In fact, from the moment his ankle was suddenly clasped by the pair of ghost claws, Verdon never lowered his head to look down! His gaze was always level with the front, and his right hand was pulling the 'ghost' out of Leitch's body little by little!
"What an arrogant junior, dare to underestimate me! Since my name spread to the mainland, no one has dared to underestimate me, no!" Soon, the eerie laughter in the sky turned into a roar full of anger, as if a terrible demon god was angry, and black lightning appeared in the sky and slashed to the ground, splitting stones of different sizes to pieces, including some unlucky soldiers and necromantic creatures, all of whom were scorched by black lightning!
"Bang!"
What was even more terrifying was that they noticed that the ground under their feet was constantly disappearing—with Verdon as the center, the ground under his feet continued to collapse under the terrifying power of the ghost claw master, just like a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the desert, and a large amount of sand was constantly flowing into the center of the whirlpool, and then a huge crater was slowly forming!
However, Arthur and the others did not fall into the abyss in the end, because they were stepping on solid ice at this time, but apart from the ice, there was no more sand under their feet, and when they looked down, they could only see the dark abyss without a bottom!
Hey, is this the terrifying strength of a Saint-Rank powerhouse? Even if it's not a real fight, an abyss of this magnitude can be created in a casual way!
"Smack-"
At this time, Lausky fell to the ground as if he had taken a weak potion!
"Huh, isn't it, so you scared the dwarf winter melon?" Seeing this, Bill immediately grinned and sneered.
This time, Lawsky was surprisingly not angry, a large amount of cold sweat was constantly flowing from his forehead, and his face was even more pale as paper at this time, only to see Lawsky say with difficulty: "No, it's me who is afraid, afraid of heights." ”
Hearing this, Bill and Arthur were stunned, and then they couldn't help but think of the rumors about those storm dwarves who stayed under the surface all day - in the rumors, most of the storm dwarves were indeed afraid of heights, and once their feet left the ground for a long time, some storm dwarves would faint or even die!
In the book "Chronicle of the Events of the Fast Empire", such a strange story is recorded -- on the occasion of the completion of the first air castle in the history of the Fast Empire, Fuyun City, at the inauguration ceremony of the first city lord, the eminent figures of the empire, celebrities from all walks of life, and designers who participated in the design of Fuyun City were all present, but during the banquet, three people fainted inexplicably on the spot! One of them died on the spot, and although the other two were barely rescued, they were left with half of their bodies in the rest of their lives! The strange thing is that these three people have one thing in common- They're all Storm Dwarves from the Storm Mountains!
Among the three storm dwarves, one is a hereditary nobleman appointed by the emperor himself, a battlefield general who has expanded the empire's territory and made countless achievements! The other is a celebrity in the business world, who runs one of the largest consortia in the Storm Mountain Range, and the sophisticated weapons and armor made by his consortium are not only sold well on the mainland, but even sold to various colonial planes under the empire! As for the last storm dwarf, he is one of the many designers of Floating Cloud City!
There are many theories as to why the three Storm Dwarves suffered their misfortunes, but most of them believe that it was because the three Storm Dwarves in Floating Cloud City were disrespectful to the God of the Earth, and they were eventually punished by the God of the Earth!
In order to solve this mystery, a mage with a crazy thirst for knowledge secretly bought a large number of 'Storm Dwarf slaves' for experiments, and finally after the incident, accidentally brought a large illegal slave trade to the surface, and finally set off a bloody storm in the south of the empire! Of course, that is obviously another matter. However, according to the experiment records left by the mage, it is true that the vast majority of Storm Dwarves have a 'fear of heights (the word acrophobia first appeared in the mage's experimental records, and has been quoted to this day', and once their feet are off the ground for a long time, they will experience all kinds of undesirable symptoms, even extreme situations like the three storm dwarves in the Floating Cloud City incident!
It's a pity that even the mad mage who first came up with the term 'fear of heights' can't understand why the Storm Dwarves have this peculiar 'fear of heights'!
Ahem, it's far away......
Thinking of the word 'fear of heights', Bill's face couldn't help but show a hint of apology, and then he grinned: "I apologize to you, Lawsky, I didn't expect you to have a fear of heights." But there's no shame in having a fear of heights, at least it proves that your bloodline is pure!"
Seeing that Bill would apologize to himself, Lawski couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and then he waved his hand nonchalantly, obviously not taking what had just happened to heart. However, Lawski was quite unhappy that he was 'afraid of heights', so he slowly propped his hands to the ground, and he wanted to make himself stand!
But this was obviously not an easy task, and for the first time Rauskey felt that it would be so difficult to even simply try to stand up! At this time, Rauskey's face gradually became hideous from excessive exertion, a large amount of cold sweat continued to drip down his cheeks to the ground, and his hands trembled like willows in the wind—nevertheless, Rauskey still supported his body little by little!
But unfortunately, the impact of 'fear of heights' on Lawski was still huge, and just when he was already struggling to get most of his body off the ground, with a sudden 'snap-', he still skidped, and saw that he was about to fall back to the ground again!
But in the end, he didn't fall completely, because he was held up - Bill held his left arm, Short held his right hand, and with the support of the two, he finally slowly straightened up!
Bill grinned, "Your brother will help you in your most difficult times!"
Bill thought that Lawsky would be moved to cry bitterly, but he strangely found that Lawsky's shoulders were trembling slightly at this time, and judging from Lawsky's face, he was sure that Lawsky was not trembling because of emotion, but a prelude to an imminent outburst of anger!
Bill's heart was full of question marks, and at this time, he happened to see Short snorting strangely at him, he looked back, and then said angrily: "Grass, Arthur, is your kid sick in the brain?!" You saw that one of us was holding one of Lausky's shoulders, so you helped his ass?!"
"Those are Leitch's men? Jun Malu, who was not far away, looked at Arthur and the others who were playing treasure, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
……
And at this time, the battle between Verdon and the two enemies also reached a critical moment, and I saw Verdon, who was originally frowning slightly, his eyes suddenly brightened at this time, and he shouted the word 'broken' angrily in his mouth!
Verdon's drink can be described as earth-shattering, the space seems to ripple like a trace of water waves, and then a mini frost dragon breaks out of the sky, opens its mouth and bites, and completely pulls out the 'ghost' in Retch's body, and then flies to the distant sky like lightning!
At the same time, the ghost claws that were originally clasped by both hands on Verdon's ankles were inexplicably changed to detain a snow troll! I heard this snow troll let out an angry roar, and then the snow troll bent down and clasped the wrists of the ghost claws! Immediately, the snow troll was like a carrot, only to hear the sound of shattering, and a pitch-black monster was directly pulled out by the snow troll, and thrown out!
