Chapter 57: The Behemoth in the Clearing
No matter what happens, it's useless to panic. Ryan took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then his brain began to work quickly.
Suddenly, he saw a lot of rocks near the surrounding mountain walls, which were probably debris eroded by the glacial movement here. These stones are numerous, vary in size, and are all edged and angular. Seeing these stones, an idea quickly formed in his heart.
"Yuga Dim Leviosa. Ryan chanted a levitation spell at a rock half his height. The spell was then lifted by floating the stone above that altar.
The stone quickly smashed from the height of the three-story building to a mummy, and the mummy was smashed, and the strange whistling sound in his mouth followed. This also caused the rhythm of the flickering light on the altar to suddenly be chaotic like a breath.
Seeing that this trick worked, Ryan used his wand to fetch more stones from all over the place and threw them at the altar. It is likely that the altar has no extra energy to resist, and the monsters can only stand up and smash it. This also causes the blood cells to slowly begin to dim as the flickering light gets brighter and brighter.
The mummy on the altar noticed this, but since the ritual was underway, he couldn't command the other monsters to attack Ryan.
Seeing that the ritual was about to fail, the four mummies on the altar suddenly plunged their claws into their chests, and streaks of black-red smoke floated out of their chests and flew towards the baseball-sized blood ball in the air.
With the actions of the mummy, the monsters under the altar also changed. Soon they disintegrated, turning into a torrent of flesh and blood that flowed down the steps around the altar to the altar.
This situation looks like an extremely evil sacrifice, and Ryan tries to interrupt the process. But when the sacrifice began. A transparent blood-colored barrier rose from the altar, ricocheting away all the stones that came after it.
Ryan saw that he had no choice but to retreat to the mountain path at the entrance to the clearing, wand in one hand and spare grappling hook in the other. After all, the little monster just now can't be carried hard, not to mention that there may be a big guy at this look. So by taking advantage of the mountain road just now, it became Lane's only choice.
Time passed slowly, and the blood-colored mist around him became thicker and thicker. The monsters on the altar changed: the flesh of the puzzle wrapped around the blood ball to form a huge blood-colored cocoon, and the mist from the mummy's chest drifted towards the blood-colored cocoon.
As the mist slowly flew from the mummy's chest to the blood cocoon, the mummy also weathered rapidly, and finally all the mummies turned into flying ashes. At the same time, the blood cocoon emitted a blinding light, forcing Ryan to close his eyes.
After the light passed, Ryan saw that almost everything on the altar had disappeared, leaving only a man standing up as a blood-red wolf, which looked nearly two stories tall, and the saliva dripping from its sharp teeth corroded one small pit after another in the stone altar.
The giant wolf let out a long roar in the sky, and then cast an undisguised malice gaze on Ryan's hiding place. Ryan's pupils shrank, and his newly acquired sixth sense could feel the giant wolf's strong killing intent towards him.
It's going on and on. Ryan smiled wryly, it was clear that he had now figured out what had happened today. It is likely that some of his actions near the altar have awakened the long-sleeping altar, which was going to wake up a monster as originally planned. As a result, Ryan intervened and destroyed part of the awakening ritual. It's likely that the monster didn't wake up the way it had planned, and it's now fighting with Ryan.
"I'm just taking a vacation, how could I encounter such a bad thing. Seeing the giant wolf pounce on him, Ryan quickly swung his rope and hook around the surrounding mountain wall to avoid the wolf's attack.
This giant wolf has a sensitivity that is completely different from his size, and can even use its claws to hook the stone wall to move on near-vertical mountain cliffs.
While dodging, Ryan also counterattacked in various ways, but with little success. The magic hit the wolf like a mud cow into the sea. Only the flame and sunlight crystals of the dragon grass can produce lethality, but each time it only leaves a shallow scorch mark on the wolf's fur, and it returns to its original state in a few breaths.
But fortunately, this wolf doesn't even seem to have the basic IQ of a wolf except for its amazing defense and strength. There are some places that can be avoided, but this wolf actually hit the stone directly and rushed over. This also allows Ryan to dodge the wolf's attacks by turning multiple times while escaping.
Seeing that the wolf had broken through at least seven or eight stone walls and was still in hot pursuit, Ryan wondered if every underworld force of some level had the same idea in the face of the sudden changes that had suddenly appeared in the original plan.
Kill the ones that get in the way.
Whether it's Tom Riddle at the Triwizard Tournament, or some monster who left this backhand on this altar. Prioritize killing the guy who popped out of nowhere.
Even though the giant wolf had obviously lost his intelligence due to a ritual error, he still didn't give up on Ryan, as if his only goal since birth was to kill Ryan.
And the giant wolf, who has lost his intelligence, has also rendered all of Ryan's ways of disrupting useless, ignoring everything else and chasing Ryan to attack.
Ryan felt that there was no way to go on like this, after all, he was a human, not a robot, and there was no way to keep him tired. And looking at the muscles on the giant wolf's body, you know that if the physical endurance Ryan is definitely not his opponent.
At this time, he could only take a risk, and Ryan found out through his observation just now that although the giant wolf kept swinging his front paws, not every time he swung his claws, he did not go all out, and only once every five times on average would leave scratches on the stones, and the other four times Ryan felt that even with his own iron armor spell he could withstand it.
At this time, you have to gamble, because Ryan can't afford it, but the success rate of the plan is not too low, even if you miss, there is an eighty percent chance that you will not be killed in seconds, you can give it a try. Although Ryan was almost certain that he was in a lucid dream now, the wizarding world sometimes kills people in dreams, and he didn't want to fall victim to such strange dreams.
Thinking of this, Ryan slowed down, and something slipped into his right hand. The giant wolf noticed that Ryan's speed had slowed down, and he attacked directly without hesitation.
Ryan was hanging in mid-air by the rope at this time, and he couldn't avoid the narrow range of the attack in the face of the giant wolf's claws. So he simply gave up the rope and fell straight to the ground after adding an iron armor spell to his body.
The giant wolf's instinctive reaction was not slow, and after seeing that the blow missed, he did not take the move at all, but slid his paw downward.
Because of this stroke, the giant wolf also exhausted the kinetic energy that had just been accumulated. This move was blocked by Ryan with an iron armor charm, but taking advantage of the closer, the giant wolf opened its mouth and bit Ryan.
