"We must break out of the Nightmare Beasts!" Morin said solemnly.

Nightmare beasts were born from the chaotic fog that devoured the power of order, unlike the group beasts, there is no unified command and tactics and will not cooperate with each other, and they are more scattered and rarely form a scale in the trial tower, but it is also very likely to gather together to form a circle under the attraction of special reasons, even if it is not a tight circle as the command of the battle array, at least it can be gathered into a group, and it is almost impossible to pass through the small beast herd without attracting any attention.

Judging from the frequent attacks on Strayer's group before, it confirmed Morin's previous suspicions.

"Nightmaremon...... ...... encirclement?" Strayer clearly failed to comprehend the situation.

Merlin didn't want to make it known that he might be particularly attractive to Nightmare Beasts at this time, so he hesitated a little and said, "Really, I don't know why the Nightmare Beasts in the surrounding area have gathered, there will be more and more dense here, we have to rush out and leave this area quickly." ”

Seeing that Strayer was still hesitating, Morin no longer gave him time to think, and roared: "Why are you still stunned! Run with us, I'll take the lead, you follow Marcas, Osmond will help Barenze respond!

Merlin quickly set up the formation, and the little vampire summoned the mechanical bird for Vina to ride.

The silver, streamlined mechanical bird landed on the half-human-tall dead grass, shook a few times, and squeaked to its feet.

The maximum speed of the mechanical birds driven by the magic crystal card is about the same as the speed at which they run at full strength, because the riding movement is large and not easy to conceal, Morin they have not used it before, but now that there are more people, they are no longer afraid of encountering strange adventurers, and it is the most important thing to travel as far as possible.

Even if the Nightmare Beast is still attracted to Merlin, as long as it can keep moving, it will not be trapped.

"Listen to Morin first!" Strayer finally said, motioning for his group to follow Morin's arrangement.

A team of ten members of the two groups followed in Merlin's footsteps and rushed out quickly.

Although one of the members of Strayer's group had run out of magic, their addition still made Morin and the others move forward much faster, especially after nearly an hour of running-in, and after each other got used to each other's usual communication gestures, their speed of travel simply stepped up a big step.

Not only do you no longer have to worry about strange adventurers, but it has also become easier to deal with Nightmare Beasts.

Low-level blue wolves such as small blue wolves are largely unaffected by them, or their heads are crushed by Barron's hammer or their necks slashed by Osmond's sword, and they are occasionally crippled by magic such as the Little Wind Blade.

The first-order magic is not very lethal, and coupled with the need to control, it is difficult to directly inflict fatal damage on the nightmare beast, even for the first-order nightmare beast, a small wind blade technique may often only cut off one of its legs or leave a wound on its body, and in most cases, even if it is accurate, it can only make the opponent lose mobility.

At Merlin's request, they didn't stop any longer, and as a result, the incapacitated nightmare beasts obtained crystal nuclei. Even a simple mending knife takes a certain amount of time, and time is the most precious thing for them now.

The members of Strayer's group also followed Morin's request, and seeing that he had directly abandoned the crystal nucleus that could improve the results of this trial, they finally believed in Morin's statement of the siege, believing that they had to flee quickly.

Time passed slowly, and they didn't know how far they had rushed, and all of them were tired from the battles and the incessant marching, but they still hurried with Merlin, and the "encirclement of nightmare beasts" in his mouth hung over everyone's hearts like a huge dark cloud, reminding them not to stop.

It's okay to have a chance encounter with one or two blue wolves, and it doesn't affect the speed, but whenever they encounter several nightmare beasts getting together and there are second-order or even third-order nightmare beasts appearing, they have to stop and engage in a vicious fight, and Merlin plays the role of team commander to try to maximize everyone's abilities, allowing them to save more magic to support.

Fortunately, there were more of them, and there were no accidents under the repeated battles.

It's just that...... As Morin surveyed the terrain and moved forward, he thought to himself, can't go on like this......

They encountered Nightmare Beasts faster and more often than before, and the density of enemies in this area had increased.

"It would be nice if I could meet a few more teams, as long as there are enough people, and there is a good terrain, even if you can't break out, you can hold on for a long time, just like in the lower difficulty levels in the Trial Ladder Fantasy, as long as there are enough troops, you can even maintain a combat ...... with zero casualties."

Merlin turned his head to look at Strayer, who was not far behind on the right, and guessed that this highness should have brought a call for help spell such as the Wire of Fire, but the biggest problem was that if you wanted to use the call for help, you had to stay in a fixed place and wait for a nearby group or adventurer to come, and that would also mean that it would give the Nightmare Beasts who were close enough time to surround them.

Shaking his head secretly, he didn't choose to ask for help, and led the team to continue to march.

"I just hope to meet another group, or if I see a beacon from another group calling for help......"

Just as he was thinking, a bright light suddenly lit up in the sky, and through the gap between the branches and leaves of the forest trees, it could be clearly seen that the light had risen not far ahead, and it had not disappeared in the sky.

It was a second-order fireline technique, the most commonly used rescue magic for adventurers, it didn't look bright enough, and it seemed to be activated by someone with a special means, it was probably a student of Iluvita, and it was not far ahead!

After a moment's pause, he gestured to the team, and they rushed in that direction as fast as they could.

……

Although he had been looking forward to meeting some more helpers, when Mo Lin led the team to the place where the sky fire line was pointing, when he saw the two huge third-order nightmare beasts and those classmates who were struggling around, he still secretly screamed in his heart: "Bad luck!"

Sure enough, their luck is not so good, they are already lucky to meet Strayer, and the group they meet again can only be this kind of classmate who has always been wrong with them - Clio and their group.

"Come and help! one of us is injured!" Cleo, who was maintaining a thorny thorn lock, was overjoyed to see someone find him so soon, and he didn't even have the heart to see who they were, so he hurriedly shouted: "Deal with this skeleton claw beast first, its retreat has been injured and I pinned it down, you help attack its tail!"

The skeleton claw beast is a relatively rare nightmare beast species, the body shape is like a huge lizard, but it has six limbs and feet, each limb and foot has a pair of huge skeleton claws, the skeleton claw beast is extremely powerful, the edge of the beast claw is even sharper like a blade, you can scratch a bowl thick tree trunk with a casual pounce, and three enemies can be lifted at the same time in the six limbs and feet, fierce and terrifying.

Hearing Cleo's thoughtless plea for help, Merlin raised his eyebrows strangely, but without hesitation, he gestured to the team behind him to prepare for the battle, and then drew his own dagger.

"Osmond Clark is in charge of the ring! Emino and Barron are going to help Levin, and the rest of the people will attack this skeleton claw beast with all their might, his right hind limbs and feet have been injured and cannot support his body, so we will focus on attacking its left rear and left middle limbs!" Morin spoke quickly but coherently, assigning the task and beginning to direct the team's battle.

"Tail! restrain its tail!" Cleo screeched, the barbed whiptail in danger.

"The tail of the skeleton claw beast is controlled by the muscle power of the hind limbs, and it only needs to injure its left hind limb foot again, and it can naturally restrain its whip tail, everyone pay attention to dodge, don't use ordinary magic defense, that whip tail has a strong demon repelling attribute!" Mo Lin said unhurriedly, throwing out a small crystal ball, which inspired a piece of acid to sprinkle towards the hind limbs of the skeleton clawed beast.

Acid splashed on the massive black limbs of the clawed beast, hissing and emitting a cloud of white smoke. Although it seems to cause little harm for the time being, it was mentioned in the course that similar bone structures are most susceptible to acid erosion, and it should not take long to affect its movement and make its local bones brittle and easy to break.

"Are you all sleeping in class?!" Morin said dissatisfied.

"Who is talking here, why is the voice so annoying......" It seems that this sentence finally made Clio realize that something was wrong, and he took out a ray of his eyes to glance at it, which didn't matter if he looked at it, and was startled when he found that it was Morin and others who came to help, and his face suddenly turned white as if he had seen a ghost.

That time he was slapped into the lake by a strange bear and still remembered it vividly, even Senior Fox had no power to fight back, and Morin was said to have been taken away by the strange bear and came back safely, I don't know what their relationship is.

After that time, the Clio didn't dare to provoke Morin, but they didn't expect that when they were in trouble, they were the first to arrive, and Clio suddenly felt that the other party was here to deliberately make trouble, and his face turned white with fright.

The magic card in his hand shook on the spot, and the thorn thorn lock that trapped the third-order skeleton claw beast was broken at once.

The clawed beast let out a roar of rage, its massive body lunging towards Cleo like a hill.

"Don't be in a daze!" Merlin slammed Clio out of the way, dodging the claw's lunge, the massive bone claw stabbing directly into the turf beside him, and when he lifted it again, the dirt flew like a small alchemy bullet had exploded from the ground.

Cleo struggled to his feet from the ground, as if he was still in a state of stupor.

Maureen rolled his eyes and unceremoniously began to command the members of Clio's group:

"Seman back off! Pull that big guy into the woods over there, borrow those big trees to restrict its movements, and be careful not to let it speed up! This hard-boned nightmare beast is very heavy, and once you run, you can't stop it! Don't force it!"

"Equino will go and check the injuries mentioned below, and if he is injured by the whip tail, give him a paralyzing potion first!"

Before the words fell, Levin was already holding the wound and began to wail, and Merlin rolled his eyes helplessly again. The tail spines of nightmare beasts above the second order often contain toxins, even with the physique of a professional can not resist them, like this skeleton clawed beast's whip tail should carry a kind of pain toxin, once it is injured by it, the wound will be in severe pain after a short time.

Seeing that Emino was dodging and couldn't keep his hands free, Merlin simply threw a handful of stone dust over first, and used a one-ring magic petrification technique, which stiffened most of Levin's legs like stones, and his wail was much smaller immediately.

Looking at the two girls in Clio's group who were casting magic on the side, each of them hit the toughest back shell of the clawed beast, leaving some traces that made them scream excitedly, and Merlin was also speechless for a while. Haven't these guys usually practiced on the arena? Wouldn't they all rely on their status as nobles of the Gesuke Empire, and even neglect to practice magic, so they dare to come to the trial tower to train......

He had forgotten for a moment that if it weren't for his special attraction to Nightmare Beasts, these guys might not be in danger.

"But it's good that we made it to ......," Merlin thought luckily, and after dodging a tail flick from the clawed beast, he managed to lock its two thick forelimbs with thorns, "Maybe I'll have to help them collect the corpses if it's too late......"

The situation of the battle stabilized, and the two third-order nightmare beasts were weakened little by little, and maybe they could be killed in a little while.

But in the shadows of the surrounding forest, there was a sudden and cold howl, and Osmond sounded the alarm almost at the same time.

Morin's face changed drastically, "Beasts! Small beasts!"

The small beast group mentioned here is not the three-headed and five-headed beast herd that he encountered before, just listening to the howling sound of the young man knew that there were at least twenty nightmare beasts, and they could only make such a sound when they gathered together.

And that howl he'd heard too much in the Staircase Illusion, and he knew it was the instinctive roar of the Nightmare Beasts before attacking.

Osmond, Clarke, who were in charge of the guard, and Marcas, who was in charge of supporting the supplies, all gathered.

The two third-order giant beasts had not yet fallen, and more than twenty figures of different sizes jumped out of the forest one after another!

The scene is in jeopardy for a moment!

Their numbers are too small, and some of them have lost their combat strength, so they can't stand up to them head-on, and if they want to escape, there will definitely be people left behind.

Before he had time to think about it, Merlin rushed to Marcas's storage box and took out a bottle of crimson liquid - it was the blood he had prepared for Lady Sinis, because he knew that it would have some effect on resisting the erosion of chaos, so he also specially prepared some before coming to the trial tower, thinking that if he encountered similar fog erosion again, he would have some ways to resist.

With a crisp sound, Merlin crushed the vial of blood.

His blood, cold blood, was sprinkled on his body.

The light was obscured by clouds, and a cold wind blew.
