Chapter 121: The Storm
Mei Lin screamed secretly, she turned her head to look in the direction of the golden egg, the nest surrounded by branches was intact, and the three golden eggs were placed in it intact, but in the blind spot of the emperor bird's sight, a figure was slowly approaching the nest.
It's Gloria! She was already two steps away from the golden egg.
"Stop her."
Merlin had already begun to gather her magic as she spoke, and when she raised her hand, she raised a small fireball and threw it at Gloria. The crowd was not foolish, and the emperor bird was attracted to Aljet, but everyone could clearly see the man who stole the egg. They were only ten meters away from the nest, and they unleashed their quick magic to block Gloria's last step, and even Ellie threw an arrow of light, although it dissipated before it reached the nest......
The discovered Gloria no longer walked cautiously and hidden, blocking Merlin's small fireball with her sword, and then dodging other small magic, and in the eyes of everyone, the big sword in her hand slashed hard at the golden egg. Just when everyone thought she was crazy, a vision occurred, and an oval shield formed by flames appeared in the nest, perfectly guarding the eggs inside. Gloria didn't stop, one sword, two swords, quickly slashing at the shield, hoping to break it. But the shield showed no signs of breaking.
Gloria was anxious, just when the emperor bird attacked Ellie and them, she and Aljet were already hiding at the edge of the forest, and after the emperor bird was attracted away, Algeret came out to steal the golden egg, but when she was about to succeed, she was blocked by the damn shield, so Aljet was dragged by the emperor bird. In the end, she had to go out to steal the eggs herself, she knew that the people from the two colleges opposite were not rice buckets, and once she found out that the emperor bird's attack target had shifted, she would be able to know the truth of the matter. So she was ready to break the shield as quickly as possible, but she didn't expect this flame shield to be so resistant, no matter how she slashed, the shield showed no sign of breaking, which made her anxious.
The shield guarding the golden egg was activated, and the emperor bird sensed it, but Algert was so difficult that she couldn't get out of it for a while. The spear of this kid in front of him actually picked his eyes every time to attack, and the eyes were the most vulnerable place, even as the emperor of the birds, she had to defend against such an insidious attack. She could feel that the spear of the person in front of her was not ordinary, and the dangerous aura coming from the spear made her have to guard against it, which was her instinct as a demonic beast, and what surprised her even more was that this red spear could isolate the flames it released, which was also one of the main reasons why it was dragged.
But this battle can't drag on like this after all, otherwise those three golden eggs may actually be stolen. The emperor bird looked at Gloria who was still slashing at the shield and the people who were running quickly towards the bird's nest, and suddenly let out an unusually loud chirp, which made everyone's minds feel dizzy to varying degrees for a while. Algert, who was closest to him, was the most affected, and the cry caused his mind to be so confused that he couldn't even stand on his feet.
And just when everyone was dizzy, a huge magic power burst out from the emperor bird's body, and the scorching flame waves erupted from the emperor bird as the origin, forming a flame storm that swept everyone up in an instant, and the indiscriminate attack made everything within twenty meters of the emperor bird's body all blown away, the big tree was uprooted, and the smaller weeds and branches were directly burned out, only the bird's nest was still standing there intact.
The storm gradually stopped, the emperor bird flapped its wings, its surroundings had become a barren, for this messy scene, it just shook its head from side to side, and after not finding the rest of the humans, the emperor bird lay down next to the nest, closed its eyes and hibernated. As agreed with Bill, this time everyone saw it, so there was no need to hide again.
……
At night, the bonfire flickered, and the three houses sat around it, and the two of Tlerell's wanted to leave, but were held back by Merlin. And after seeing the strength of the emperor bird today, Gloria also knew that she and Algert alone would not be able to capture the golden egg, so she simply listened to Merlin's words and stayed with Algert.
Nina leaned against a large tree by the campfire, and beside her lay a sleeping Ellie, the poor girl who had been knocked on the head by something after being swept away by the wave of air caused by the emperor bird, and had been unconscious until now. Although the girl had been examined by Philix, the only one of the remaining people who knew some healing techniques, the healing magic of the water system could only have a moisturizing effect, and the ability to recover was much lower than that of the light system. However, Felix said that the girl was only knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, and that there was no major problem, and she could wake up after a while. Hearing this, Nina was relieved.
For dinner, there was no reason for Ellie, so everyone simply ate some dry food that they brought. After dinner, everyone began to sit around and discuss what happened today, but it was said that everyone was discussing it together, but Merlin was the only one who was talking, and everyone else remained silent and quietly listened to it.
"First of all, I don't think any of us together are any match for the Emperor Bird, and I think you should know that too." Mei Lin looked at everyone and said, "Secondly, the emperor bird will not be so weak, let alone an adult emperor bird." ”
"They are as intelligent as humans or even higher than humans, and can learn human language, but she is silent the whole time, and even screams only a few times. Her attack was powerful, but the person she hit didn't do any serious damage, and she was able to stand here with minimal healing. With that, she glanced at Aljet.
"Our purpose is very clear, take away the golden egg she guards, and we have been very close to that egg before, but she didn't do much to fight back against us, just knocked us away, just imagine, if I am an emperor bird, what I want to protect is threatened, then I will not give such a light hand, the monster will not have such a merciful heart, otherwise it would have died in the forest a long time ago."
Speaking of this, Gloria, who was sitting with her legs crossed, nodded, "Well, you're right, even Aljet can stop it for a while, but we still can't do anything about it. ”
"The next words are the point." "This test doesn't threaten our lives, it doesn't even hurt us," Merlin said. However, it is impossible for just one team to win the Golden Egg, so what if it becomes three? ”
"You mean, our three academies are united?" Gloria, beside Merlene, asked.
"That's right, this game, the test ...... It's our measure. ”
The corners of Merlene's mouth curled slightly, when the enemies of the past want to shake hands with you, become your allies, or even fight with you against strong enemies, what will you choose?
Conspiracy, betrayal, or ......?
