I don't know how long it took, but the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Phil looked up and saw that the Bone Swamp had entered the night, and it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything.
But the buzz was gone, only the crackling of firewood.
Except for a pile of charred black blood mosquitoes at his feet, there is nothing else to prove that blood mosquitoes have ever attacked in large numbers.
"Is it over?" Thomas looked around, a look of horror on his face.
Phil dropped the extinguishing torch, he didn't know if it was over, maybe the blood mosquitoes were just hiding around for the time being, just like they usually did when they lived in the Bone Swamp, just like they did when they attacked the convoy, and they would never make a sound until the time of the attack.
Thomas saw Phil drop the torch, and immediately sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief, and when he saw the corpses of blood mosquitoes all over the ground, he swept away a little rudely, and lay down, he felt the need to take a rest.
And there is still a little bit of pine resin wood around it that continues to burn, perhaps this is the reason for the silence of the blood mosquitoes.
Phil turned around and looked at the pine resin forest next to him, it was not far away, only more than ten meters, but there was still more than ten meters of darkness in the middle.
Phil jumped out, and the sound of landing was heard in the darkness.
Nothing. So Phil quickly ran into the pine resin forest, looking for a suitable pine resin.
Now is not the right time to escape, it may be dark and dangerous to run into something more dangerous, and the blood mosquito is definitely not too far away, if he is far away from the pine resin, then he does not know how to survive.
Half an hour later, Phil came out of the pine resin woods, and before he could get out, he heard the sound of talking, and Phil saw several more figures in the ring of fire.
"Hey! Phil, look, it's Margaret them! Seeing Phil come out, Thomas shouted to Phil in surprise.
Margaret, Edward, and Adolf looked very embarrassed, but all the people alive were here.
Phil wasn't too indifferent, and said hello anyway.
"Why are you here?" Phil asked.
Margaret said, "We weren't in the camp before the Bone Bird attacked, so we survived. We just came from the camp, and it's pathetic......" She said in a pitiful tone, but there was no trace of pity.
Phil didn't trust her, they were so embarrassed, it didn't look like nothing had happened.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Margaret didn't want to look directly at Phil, so she changed the subject, "On a night like this, it should be dangerous to start a fire, right?" β
Thomas glanced at Phil and said with a wry smile, "Just look at the ground." β
Although Margaret, Edward, and Adolf felt a little strange, they still looked at it as they said, and immediately saw the corpses densely packed under their feet.
"What is this?" Edward curiously pinched a corpse, its charred wings, and its hard, slender needles, and he suddenly looked at Phil in horror, "ThisβThis is a blood mosquito?" Phil, don't tell me this is a blood mosquito! β
Phil nodded.
"Damn, you guys actually got into the blood mosquito?" Margaret immediately shouted, and Adolf, who was next to her, had a similar face when she heard the news.
"It's not us, it's you." Phil said.
"What do you mean?" Margaret didn't understand.
Thomas walked over: "Margaret, it's Mayvis, the bottle of perfume ......"
Margaret knew everything about this, and she did everything, including the words she had to visit Mavis at the beginning, and the plan to kill Mavis first, all of this planning was her, and even the perfume was handled by her, and all Thomas did was give the perfume to Mavis instead.
When Margaret heard this, she was already desperate, and when she saw the pine resin that Phil had brought back, she knew that the blood mosquito had not gone yet. They will also become prey when they step into this place now.
"It's over, it's all over......" Margaret looked frightened and unlikely.
But if it's just a blood mosquito, it shouldn't collapse to this extent, right? Phil was a little confused.
"Phil, don't guess," but Adolf next to him saw Phil's thoughts, and said with a wry smile, "It's not like nothing happened to us, not just blood mosquitoes, but also bonebirds, and we have bonebirds behind us......"
Thomas took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, "Bone Bird?" The boneless bird? β
Thomas was quick to answer in the affirmative. The Bone Bird was not very intelligent, but it still knew that the five of them were in a group, so it kept falling behind everyone, ready to take it down in one fell swoop. Adolf: They had come to this point in the silence of the route.
No wonder others would say that under the swamp of bones are countless skeletons, all left by people who don't know the height of the sky.
With the Bone Bird and the Blood Mosquito, Thomas felt completely hopeless.
"I'll be able to get out of the bone swamp tomorrow, so, in fact, as long as I survive tonight." Phil lowered his head as he added pine wood to the ring of fire.
"Come and help? At least stop the blood mosquitoes first! β
Of course, the rest of the people will not shirk, it is a matter of life. However, it was not a joint dispatch, only Margaret, Edward and Adolf went out, if Phil and Thomas went out again, Phil was worried that the blood mosquito would not be able to bear it, even if it was so, it was dangerous, and it was a helpless choice to rely on the situation that the blood mosquito would hide honestly.
Margaret and the others didn't say that they would go separately, because there was only a little chance that five people would survive, and Margaret and the three of them would be chased by the Bone Bird sooner or later, and Phil and Thomas were also incapable of getting rid of the blood mosquitoes after the pine wood was burned.
The most important thing is that when you are alone, you can only choose to resist, and when you are five people together, you can choose to fight back.
Time passed in the night, and I don't know how long it had been, but there was still no sign of the boneless bird and the blood mosquito, making people think that they would not appear again. But just listen to the movement around you, except for the crackling sound of the pine resin wood burning, the sound of the wind and the sound of leaves, there is no movement.
Just when everyone was a little sleepy, a chirp woke everyone up.
A huge black shadow swooped down from the night sky, bringing a gust of wind with it, and the pine resin wood that formed a circle was immediately blown away.
In the end, it was the Bone Bird that came first, and the Blood Mosquito didn't know how long it would hide.
"Attention!" Margaret shouted.
Phil and Thomas immediately stepped forward, one holding a long sword and the other holding a cross sword, blocking the front.
"Bang!"
The two claws the size of a human leg slammed into the sword in front of the two of them, and they sent out sparks, and the two of them only felt a strong force coming, from their arms to their whole bodies, and they couldn't support it for a while, and they couldn't help but slide backwards on the ground for a long distance.
But in the end, it was blocked.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the rest of the people quickly chanted the incantation.
"I'm coming!" The first to complete it was Edward, and a huge drop of water immediately surrounded the Bone Bird.
The Bird flapped its wings and struggled in the water, but for a moment it did not break free, giving Phil and Thomas a chance to breathe.
"Drink!" Next is Margaret, which is all a previously arranged routine, with the bonus of water, her witchcraft can be played more effectively.
With the bonuses of water balls and early winter weather, the cold air emitted from Margaret's palm completely froze the bonebird almost instantly, and it fell to the ground.
Where the puck fell, a circle of black smoke was formed, and a woman's phantom figure was about to crawl out of it.
"Bang!" The puck suddenly burst open, and the Bone Bird rose into the air in an instant!
Margaret scolded secretly, it was her fault, she didn't expect that the restriction of the freezing technique on the Bone Bird was not so great, and the water balloon turned into an ice ball, which allowed the Bone Bird to use its powerful power to break free.
After all, it is just the most ordinary zero-level witchcraft, although Margaret's freezing technique has many effects, control, single attack and group attack control, but because of this, the cold of the freezing technique is not too cold, and it is not so effective against creatures with many bones, such as the Bone Bird.
The Bone Bird had rushed down again, having fought these new wizard apprentices and knew that this was the time when everyone was at their vulnerable.
This time it was attacking from behind, one on both wings, and slammed into Edward and Margaret, both of whom flew out almost simultaneously, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
Adolf was still in the middle, motionless, the black circle in front of him was still there, and the female phantom in the black circle was still there.
"Thomas!" Phil yelled and rushed up with Thomas.
"Ahh Thomas's long sword had already burst into golden flames, and his face was full of hideousness, not half elegant, but like the legendary Great Demon King of the mortal world.
"Gah-" The Bone Bird was slashed with a sword on the way to Adolf, and although it fell to the ground, it quickly fluttered to its feet.
Entangled with Thomas again, one man and one beast, wrestling again, and looking evenly matched!
At this time, the female phantom in the black circle in front of Adolf, who was motionless, gradually began to take on the appearance of a physical entity.
"Thomas!"
Phil threw out a fireball that hit the side of the Bone Bird, and with a "boom", the blast force pushed the Bone Bird right in front of Adolf into the black circle.
"Lalala......" The half-physical woman sang a beautiful melody and hugged the Bone Bird from behind as if she wanted to hug her beloved lover.
The Bone Bird struggled as if it had little strength, and fell into a semi-comatose state in the midst of the woman's singing.
At this time, Phil and Thomas rushed forward with their swords raised again!
Jumping up, the two swords plunged straight into the beak of the Bone Bird, and the Bone Bird didn't even make a final chirp, and died!
"Poof!" The corpse of the Bird eventually fell to the ground, making a slight noise.
"Knot, it's over......," Thomas gasped and fell to the ground.
"Ahem!" Adolf, who was behind him, seemed to use all his strength, fell to his knees, and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
Phil looked around, Margaret and Edward were all right, only a little injured, not life-threatening, with only five freshmen who had only been studying for three months, defeating a boneless bird, he could already be proud.
"Hey, it's not a time to rest." Phil had to remind his companions who were lying on the ground, "We haven't completely solved the problem yet!" β
As soon as his words fell, the darkness around him reacted.
"Buzz ......"
