Chapter 10: The Art of Violence with Fire and Thunder
"Big Lion! If you are not satisfied with 300 catties of meat, consider how much 3000 catties are! At this moment, Su Mu shouted that he was playing hide and seek with the red-eyed beast in the fog, but the latter gradually knew his routine after confronting Su Mu for a while, relying on his wild instinct. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Under the continuous consumption, Su Mu's physical strength slowly decreased, and he felt that his body was a little disobedient to his own call.
At this moment, the red-eyed beast roared angrily and suddenly pounced on itself. This distance should be about 100 meters, and the instinct of survival can make Su Mu dodge immediately, but because of the consumption of physical strength and the reduction of reaction, Su Mu feels that he may not be able to dodge this time.
In an instant, a bloody breath roared, making Su Mu's breathing a little difficult. If there were no accidents, Su Mu would have been bitten to death by a fierce beast like Morey.
At this critical moment, a blue light suddenly appeared in the darkness, and a blue spirit thunder spear surrounded by thunder light went straight towards the fierce beast, followed by dozens of ice spikes about 50 centimeters in length. The fierce beast also sensed the change in the spirit child in the air, but it couldn't stop moving. At the moment when the fierce beast was about to bite Su Mu, the thunder spear and ice spikes smashed into the fierce beast one after another.
The tip of the thunder spear was very sharp because of the high density of the spirit son, and it instantly penetrated the right foot of the fierce beast, and the blue electricity spread from the right foot to the whole body of the fierce beast in an instant. The beast's right foot was bleeding at the moment, and the paralysis and pain caused by the thunder and lightning made it wail, and its speeding body fell heavily to the ground at this moment.
Then, the plural ice spikes that followed directly smashed into all parts of the beast's body, causing large and small scars. The red-eyed beast's original blow to Su Mubi was interrupted by a sophisticated spiritual cooperative attack.
Thunder spears and ice spikes are common energy-based spiritual techniques, which are used to create patterns with different attributes through the aggregation and structural reshaping of spirit children in the air, and through the method of "spirit mimicry".
In other words, through spiritual mimicry, the same amount of spirit children can generate a variety of forms such as spears, swords, and balls. The strength of the spirit art itself is more about the caster's own use of the environment, his understanding of the structure of the spirit sub, and the proficiency in the practical application of spirit theory.
It can be seen from the spiritual cooperation just now that the quality of the caster is quite good.
Because of the high concentration of Lingzi in the Misty Forest, it has attracted a lot of monsters and monsters that like Lingzi, and the Lingzi of these creatures themselves are very active, so that although the thunder spear paralyzed the red-eyed fierce beast, but because of the high adaptability of the fierce beast itself to the Lingzi, it didn't take long for this monster to recover from paralysis. The beast got up and let out a manic roar in the direction of the thunder spear, its eyes flashing red, and it looked even more violent.
Suddenly, a ball of fire lit up in the direction of the thunder spear, and then a figure jumped out, holding a long sword with flame spirit magic attached to it and launched an attack on the beast.
The figure leaped out of the fog and slashed at the beast without hesitation. Because the paralyzing effect had not completely passed, the beast's reaction was a little sluggish, and it was slashed on the left forelimb by a sword. The flames on the sword also burned the wound, and the beast suddenly let out a mournful roar.
"Array! Spiral arrows drive away fog! Illuminated arrows ensure visibility! Support the big sister! Before the beast's screaming was over, the voice of a man came.
Next, several spiral arrows and flare arrows followed, methodically scattered around the beast, dispersing and illuminating the dense fog in the area. One of the lightning arrows shot directly at the beast's face, and although the beast dodged it, the light blinded the beast's eyes and made it temporarily blind.
Because of the illuminated arrow screen, the entire battlefield is bright and clear at the moment. Only then did Su Mu see the figure of the surprise beast, it was a woman dressed in light mercenary equipment, with beautiful long dark brown hair and tied up ends, and she looked heroic in a military uniform.
At the same time, Su Mu finally saw what breed the fierce beast that attacked him was, it was a lion as tall as an elephant. The lion has a pair of huge meat wings on its back, and the most peculiar thing is the scorpion tail on its back, and the blood-red scorpion spur at the end of the tail is very huge, which is terrifying to look at. Judging from the monster's brown coat, it was a growing manticore.
The Manticore Lion is a common monster on the continent, and usually haunts the dense forests and high mountains with a high concentration of spirit children. The growth stages of this monster can be divided into juvenile, growth, maturity and completeness. Fortunately, this manticoremon is in its growth stage, and its athleticism, attack ability, and endurance have not yet grown, and it is not yet a huge threat. If it is a complete manticore, then it will be a big trouble, you must know that it is a terrifying beast that has survived for nearly 100 years, its strength is directly proportional to its age, and the purple-red scorpion tail behind it is a symbol of terrifying killing.
After her teammate's illuminating arrow blinded the manticore for a while, the brown-haired woman immediately rushed to Su Mu's side and dragged Su Mu up without hesitation, "Qinia, follow this kid!" With this low voice of the royal sister, Su Mu's whole person was thrown out directly, and when he reacted again, he had been steadily caught by another person, and an oval goose egg girl's face was imprinted into Su Mu's eyes, she should be Qinia.
Su Mu looked at her, and her pupils dilated suddenly, "You! Why are you here? ”
Yes, this girl is not only Qinia who saved him just now, but also Su Mu's friend Qinia. The last time Su Mu saw her was in Yunge Tavern, at that time she was wearing a classical long dress, which looked very elegant, and her ladylike demeanor always made people think that she was the eldest lady of a famous family. Although Su Mu and her are friends, they are not familiar with each other, and this time they met on the battlefield, the image of Qinia was too different from usual, which made Su Mu a little stunned all of a sudden.
"You can rest for a while, and then leave it to the mercenaries to deal with." As she spoke, she adjusted Su Mu's position a little and asked him to rest against a tree. Although Su Mu was still stunned, at least his life was saved.
Just when Su Mu was frightened and was still secretly rejoicing, the brown-haired woman shouted loudly: "Give me an axe gun!" As soon as the voice fell, someone quickly threw an axe and gun at it.
Throwing the long sword in her hand, the brown-haired woman caught the flying axe and spear neatly. This axe gun is a long weapon with a deformed structure, which is about 1 meter long in normal times, but when the long handle is extended by mechanical deformation, the axe blade will also be deployed, and the total length of the weapon will reach 1.8 meters.
Immediately afterward, the woman put on an attack posture and immediately rushed towards the manticore, and in the process of running, she did not forget to bless the front end of the axe and spear with thunder and lightning magic, and after the blessing was completed, she used a force with both hands, and the axe spear pierced the manticore's jaw with a swift straight piercing.
The blind manticoremon swung its front paws in pain, and the electric light on the axe and spear paralyzed the muscles of the manticore's jaw, making its roar awkward, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound in its jaw. The brown-haired woman didn't let the success of the blow slack off, and she quickly swung her axe again, pulling down on the manticore's jaw wound and slashing out a gap.
These two clean attacks made Su Mu look dumbfounded.
The huge manticore beast roared in pain, and the monster's front paws swung wildly in pain. The manticoremon attacked Claudia with its senses, and the slap of the missing head did not bring real damage, but it was not a small problem.
The brown-haired woman dodged the manticore's messy front paw attacks and looked for an opportunity to fight back. Whenever she dodged a round of claws from the manticore, she would take the opportunity to perform a surgical attack on the monster's forelimbs, either at the palm or at the meridians, leaving many wounds on the manticore's body in a short time.
"Hmph, although it is large, it is easy to deal with it if you master the rules." The brown-haired woman dodged another attack from the manticore, and muttered in a low voice: "The paralyzing effect should be almost over, hurry up!" Taking advantage of the manticore's attack, she aimed at the manticore's already wide open wound and slashed straight down, and the blade of the axe with blue lightning slashed off the manticore's left front paw very crisply.
Obviously, the woman's piecemeal attack just now was to create a wound for this big attack, and when the wound on the manticore's front paw was deep enough, it could easily sever its limbs along the wound. These shots impressed Su Mu deeply, and he was also immersed in this wonderful battle picture.
"Quack, oh, oh!" The roar resumed, the blindness had expired, and the manticoremon reopened its blood-red eyes. Because one of the front paws was chopped off, he could barely maintain his balance.
Just as the manticoremon was about to attack with the scorpion's tail, the brown-haired woman rushed behind the manticoremon with a few arrows, and as she ran, she released three fireballs in a row, which flew towards the manticore's head, producing a continuous explosion the moment it touched the head. Although the fireball was not powerful enough, it had successfully obscured the manticore's vision, and also caused the scorpion tail behind it to sway from side to side, unable to accurately capture the position of the brown-haired woman.
Taking advantage of the manticore's hesitation, the woman jumped hard, and the electric light on the axe blade was quickly replaced by the flame spirit technique at this moment, turning into a burning flame, and the axe blade slashed on the scorpion tail with a "bang" of flames. With the explosion, the scorpion's tail was cut off, and the manticoremon fell to the left and fell heavily to the ground.
Generally speaking, the scorpion tail is full of neurotoxins, which are often used by the manticore to paralyze its prey, and of course can also be used to stab or slash, once the multi-functional tail is lost, the manticore loses its biggest trump card.
After eliminating the scorpion tail, which was the most threatening threat to the manticore, the woman jumped onto the back of the manticore, and then quickly struck left and right, and happily cut off the wings of the manticore.
"Drink!" The brown-haired woman on the back of the manticoremon picked up the axe and spear, and directly slashed at the head of the manticore, and thick blood gushed out, staining the female warrior's body, and then the manticore's screams stopped abruptly, and its body was completely paralyzed to the ground with a "boom".
As the brown-haired woman deftly jumped off the monster, the night's battle came to an end.
After the manticoremon fell, the surrounding mercenary teammates confirmed that there was no danger, so they moved closer to the location of the manticore's corpse, and Qinia walked over with Su Mu in her arms. Qinia picked up the long sword that had been thrown on the ground before and handed it to the brown-haired woman, "Eldest sister, the battle just now was so beautiful, she really deserves to be the deputy head of the Jace Mercenary Group, and her strength is really not covered!" Zinia complimented Claudia, and although she looked calm, she could still see a little excitement between her eyebrows.
Claudia was wiping the manticore's blood from her armor with a white cloth, she turned her head to take the long sword handed by Qinia, and smiled at Qinia: "It's just a manticore, if it's a mature or complete stage, then it's a big trouble." Claudia paused for a moment, looked at Su Mu who was holding Qinia, and showed a bad expression on her face: "This is your little lover, right?" can kill the scorpion lion and hunt the scorpion tail, and save this handsome little guy, it's really a double win! ”
Hearing Claudia's ridicule, Qinia's face turned a little red, and she hurriedly explained: "Su Mu is my friend, how can I not save my friend when I see my friend?" ”
Claudia was about to continue teasing Qinia, but Su Mu, who had recovered a little energy, interrupted the conversation with an anxious expression: "Although I want to thank you, but my mother is in danger now, can you please go and save them!" ”
Su Mu's expression was very serious, he obviously didn't care about sorting out his thoughts, but instinctively worried about his family, his mother Wang Li was chased by the man in black, how could he relax.
"Don't worry, your mother will be fine, we have someone to save her." Claudia calmed Su Mu's emotions and patted him on the shoulder with both hands. "Chenia, take good care of him!" Claudia winked at Chenia before joining her mercenary teammates in the task of dismantling the Manticoremon with her axe and sword.
Su Mu was a little sluggish, he couldn't change his mind, and then Qinia took over. "Don't worry! That person will do it himself, and your family will definitely be safe and sound. As she spoke, Qi Niya also gently knocked Su Mu's head with her fist.
"Ahh Why are you knocking on my skull! I'm going to see how my mom is! I can't joke with you right now! Who's that other person? Su Mu's face became serious.
"I haven't finished my sentence yet, do you think that since we can come and save you, will we not save my aunt and them?" Qinia didn't put away her shallow smile because of Su Mu's serious expression, she took two steps towards Su Mu and said, "Originally, we were there to save Aunt and them, but we saw a flare over the forest halfway, so we split a team of people, and we rescued you here." As for your mother, don't worry about it at all, you'll know it when you get out of the forest."
"Save? Why are you passing through here? Su Mu was a little confused, killing a team of people in this dangerous forest at night made him feel a little incredible.
Qinia looked at Su Mu's puzzled expression, lined her nose with her hand, and continued to smile and said: "I entrusted the Jace Mercenary Group to hunt the tail of the manticoremon for me, this fierce beast is out of the day and night, and it can't be caught during the day, so it can only act at night. The spirit child environment of the Misty Forest is bound to attract manticores, so coming here to find this beast will definitely not return empty-handed. That's why the gods descended from heaven and saved your life by the way! ”
"It's also..."Hearing Qinia's explanation, Su Mu finally felt a little more at ease, in just one night, there were all kinds of chasing and escaping, and everyone was just as anxious.
"The eldest sister was right just now, Qinia, I am really very grateful for this rescue." After sorting out his mood a little, Su Mu still politely expressed his gratitude to Qinia, although the sudden rescue in the middle of the night was too similar to various story episodes in adventure novels, which made him feel that his luck was a little too good.
"Qinia, can you tell me..."Su Mu was about to ask who "that person" was, Claudia walked over and patted Su Mu on the shoulder: "We have to go, otherwise it will be bad for the fierce beasts around to smell blood." ”
Su Mu's words could only be held back, since the brown-haired eldest sister was so sure that her mother had been rescued, then now she could only believe it except for believing. After all, even if Su Mu really rushed over, he was not the opponent of the black-clothed captain and his accomplices.
After a while, Su Mu followed the mercenaries on the road, he was very curious about "that person", and he kept wondering who this person was. Qinia on the side seemed to see Su Mu's thoughts, and said to Su Mu: "Don't be in a hurry, when you get out of the forest, you can see the truth!" ”
Suddenly, Su Mu didn't stand firm and fell, Qinia was startled and immediately went up to support him, and asked with concern, "How are you?" Did it hurt somewhere? ”
"Ah, this night I was chased by someone first, and then by a manticore, a little out of strength..."Su Mu shook his head, his face was full of fatigue, and after getting out of the danger of life and death, the slackness of his nerves made him finally fall down.
"Then I'll hold you up." Hearing Su Mu's words, Qinia said naturally. She skillfully put Su Mu's arm on her shoulder, and supported Su Mu's back with one hand, so that he could walk as easily as possible.
"Qinia, I didn't expect your hand... It's quite warm. ”
"For your sake, this is the only time!"
