Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 17 Calculation
Although he was so teasing at the thorny sand crab that was exhaled by the fireball, Roger actually did not let his guard down, no matter what, after all, this is also a demonic beast that almost evolved to the second order, although this evolution seems to have failed because of Roger's intervention, but God knows what kind of improvement this thorny sand crab has gotten from it.
'Thorn la la'
The thorny sand crab made a strange noise in its mouthparts, according to Roger's speculation about its teeth and claws, such a sound was probably venting its anger, obviously the fireball technique just now still did not have any effect on the thorny sand crab, but it succeeded in annoying the irascible monster.
As Roger had guessed, the simple mind of the spiny sand crab had now been completely overrun by raging rage, and it had never imagined that such a weak bug would cause it so much trouble that it would not even be able to evolve halfway.
In fact, when preying on the sand lice swarm just now, this spiny sand crab found Roger hiding in the shadows. At first, it didn't take Roger to heart, just munched on a rare meal as usual, and then it was ecstatic about the evolution brought about by devouring swarms of sand lice, which was the key to its progress to the next level.
It stands to reason that the thorny sand crab should find a safe place to complete its evolution at this time, but the thorny sand crab ignored Roger, who looked weak, and chose to usher in its own evolution in the same place, firmly believing that its innate hard shell could easily withstand any struggle of the little bug, and this inexplicable confidence was not until it was pierced by one of the little bug's hateful weapons.
And even if it terminates its evolution, the damn metal bar is still stuck in the carapace between its tentacles, which makes the unfinished thorn crab very annoyed, and what is even more odious is that the little bug in front of him looks at him unscrupulously so that the spiny sand crab that has given birth to a simple mind can no longer bear the anger in his heart, and it decides to use his invincible big crow to crush this little bug to vent this strange emotion.
"What, got angry at dinner?"
Roger's gaze wandered on the body of the thorny sand crab, which was one size smaller, and finally fixed on the dagger inserted in the carapace of the thorny sand crab, and the smile on Roger's face was even stronger, "Don't worry, cooking this matter, you have to take your time, you can't eat hot tofu if you are in a hurry." ”
"Bang"
The transition from static to dynamic was completed in the blink of an eye, and even though it was one size smaller, there were still car-sized spiny crabs that suddenly attacked, four pairs of thorax and feet dexterously coordinated to give it incredible acceleration, and the hideous thorns on its back carapace shimmered with bloodthirsty sheen, making the sprinting thorns look like a high-speed chariot equipped with ramming horns.
Not wanting to test whether Rust's resurrection was enough, Roger hunched over and hurriedly dodged from the blade-like thorns, while the sprinting sand crab crashed headlong into the rock wall of the rift, kicking up dust and rubble.
"It's faster than expected, and the crab that has been said to be molting will become soft and slower?"
The leather boots dragged a scorched black mark on the rocky ground at the bottom of the valley, Roger's hand pressed on the ground, vigilantly staring at the thorny sand crab in the smoke and dust, given that the high-level fireball technique just now did not cause the ideal damage to the thorny sand crab, taking advantage of the current time to attack the thorny sand crab such a waste of magic is what Roger tried his best to avoid.
After roughly estimating the remaining magic power of himself, Roger no longer hesitated, the tip of his right finger shone with an earthy yellow arcane brilliance, and a wide range of ground, including the spiny sand crab that crashed into the valley wall, cracked inch by inch, and Roger's voice then sounded softly, "Earth Splitting Technique!"
"Huh~"
Before the smoke and dust of the broken wall of the gorge dissipated, a boulder flew straight out of the smoke and smashed into Roger's front door, Roger dodged sideways at will, never thought that at the moment when Roger's line of sight left the direction of the thorny sand crab, the thorny sand crab lurking in the smoke and dust rushed out like a cannonball, and the four pairs of chest and feet were dexterously intertwined between the cracks caused by the ground split, and the ground splitting technique released by Roger did not achieve any effect.
In the blink of an eye, Roger, who had lost his space to dodge, was violently knocked out by the rushing spiny sand crab, sliding a long distance against the ground.
"Ahem..... Misguided. ”
It was difficult to get up and get Roger to hold his chest, even if he reacted at the first time and did a certain dodge, avoiding the thorns that almost pierced him, but the terrifying impact was still taken by Roger, which hit his whole body bones almost fell apart.
And the thorny sand crab in front of him is still eyeing the tiger, skimming the scarred self, it seems that it will soon have the next impact, it seems that the thorny sand crab wants to ravage Roger in such a simple way, in the flat eyes of the thorny sand crab, Roger read a trace of the pleasure of torturing the prey.
"Don't worry, the show has just begun....."
Embarrassed, Roger wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth casually, his white face was full of abrasions, and his lowered eyes surprisingly did not look at the thorny sand crab that was ready to attack, but instead his eyes wandered between the cracked ground.
I don't know what he muttered, Roger looked stunned, his left hand folded behind him, and before he could rush towards him, he flew towards it, and his right hand was a blazing flame, pulling out a flowing red line in the deep night.
Seeing Roger's dying struggle, the thorny sand crab's eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of contempt, after such an imperfect evolution, the thorny sand crab that had initially given birth to the spirit of the thorny sand crab had a playful idea in his heart, torturing the prey in front of him, and devouring his flesh became the only haunting thought in its mind.
The luster of red gold covered the carapace of the crab, which replaced its original black and yellow texture, and under the seemingly bland change, it was the almost blazing heat on the surface of the carapace, so that the surrounding air was slightly distorted, which must have evolved on the basis of the scorching aura.
"Click"
Four pairs of spiky thorax propped up on the cracked ground, and the spiny sand crab pressed down deeply, its accumulated strength causing it to leap high and fall swiftly towards Roger.
"It's now!"
Roger's left hand, which was hidden behind his back, was raised suddenly, and the dazzling light that had already been ready to bloom in his palm, "Flash Technique!"
The sudden light in the darkness stunned the falling thorny crab for a moment, but it didn't have much effect, the slender tentacles between the eyes were its main sensory organs, and with the help of keen perception, it still fell sharply towards Roger's expected position.
"Boom"
The hard carapace combined with the force of the fall made the sound of landing resounding like a thunderous echo in the canyon, and the red gold luster on the thorny sand crab formed a circle of flame waves, scorching everything, but it made the thorny sand crab a little puzzled in its simple thoughts, and in its perception, it did not find any trace of Roger.
"The prey goes into the net. With the help of the flash technique just now, Roger's figure, which was already a false shot, made a bend on the way to sprint, and quickly turned back behind the rocks that were raised on the side.
With his blood-stained palms pressed against the cracked ground beneath his feet, Roger closed his eyes and guided the magical elements in his body, stirring through the resonance of the magic model, and finally swimming along the cracks in the ground, and the cracks in the ground erupted with flowing fire.
In the blink of an eye, the floor of the canyon was already shrouded in firelight, and the six-pointed star formed by the flames formed at the foot of the wandering thorny sand crab, and when it sensed that something was wrong, the opportunity to flee was lost.
Unleash the Earth Split, channeling the formation of the rift, and finally constructing the appropriate circle shape to form this special magic. The interlocking design allowed Roger to unleash the most powerful magic he could barely unleash right now without having to pause, "Die, bug!"
Wandering magic mixed with the magic elements that filled the rift responded to the caster's call, and the magic elements around the entire rift siphoned into the circle. In an instant, a pillar of fire rose from the ground, mercilessly enveloping the thorny sand crab in it, and the invisible force wrapped the body of the thorny sand crab and threw it into the air again.
"Gollum!"
The sand crab roared angrily from its mouthparts, and even the flame resistance brought by evolution was no match for the scorching heat of the flames, and its hard carapace gradually softened in the blazing flames. Fortunately, the effect of magic was only temporary, and Roger's pitiful apprentice-level mana reserves only supported such a second-level spell, and in an instant, the light of the magic circle was extinguished.
The figure of the thorny sand crab that had lost its impact had begun to slide through the air, and the enraged thorny sand crab had already imagined the scene of breaking the damned human's limbs with its proud claws and slowly ravaging him.
To the surprise of the thorny sand crab, the damn human turned his back to him and waved, and it could not have imagined that this scene would become the last image in its mind.
The already extinguished circle was blown by the black wind that blew into the rift, and the flames of destruction were rekindled in an even more frantic manner, and a blazing flame echoed the circle on the ground, blooming between its eyes, far more than the heat of Fang Cai, mercilessly burning its nerve center between the eyes, and also taking away its simple wisdom.
"Rekindled, burned touch. ”
When the corpse of the thorny sand crab fell from the air, Roger's voice sounded faintly, and on its corpse, the flame of the half-cut dagger inserted between its eyes slowly dissipated with the end of the battle, like an ordinary dagger.
Somewhere behind the sand dunes in the distance, on a line with Roger's rift, as the battle in the rift ended, Skeleton Jack loosened the tense bowstring of his fingertips and drew it into a full moon-like longbow, and the dark arrow of light also dimmed, and then the light flickered, and finally dissipated into the air.
Silently retracting his longbow, Skeleton Jack leaned down again, and his figure gradually merged with the sand.
"Roger, this kid, is usually quiet, but I didn't expect his strength to be good. ”
