180. The hunter behind the hunter
This is a good time for rainbow trout to spawn at the source of the stream as they swim up the stream.
During this season, rainfall is abundant in the Black Forest of the Hierro Plane, and the clear mountain streams flow happily downward, and the plump rainbow trout follow the river one after another.
In this creek, the water flow becomes very turbulent where the water level difference is large. Of course, there are also rivers where the terrain is relatively flat, and the flow rate of the water here is quite slow.
A giant copper-billed pelican bird stood in the shallow water, its eyes staring intently at the crystal clear water, a rainbow trout more than a foot long swam slowly, it did not seem to notice that there were two crimson legs erect in front of it in the stream, the light on the water surface flickered, a halo of water spread, and a sharp beak broke through the water and shot into the water like a sharp arrow.
The rainbow trout felt the danger, it swung its tail fin desperately, and made a huge splash in the pool, trying to drill into the big gap under the rock, but it was too late, the sharp mouth penetrated its fat body, and then pulled it out of the water, and took the opportunity to shake its head, throwing the whole rainbow trout to the shore.
Then the pelican bird spread its huge wings and ran to the riverbank, chasing the rainbow trout that was bouncing alive on the pebble beach, and the giant mouth drilled at the rainbow trout's head, lifting it high above its head, and then slamming it the pebble beach.
The rainbow trout had a piercing wound on its body, which was wounded by the beak of the bird, and then it was hit hard by the copper-billed pelican, and the rainbow trout became dying on the pebble beach, and the mouth kept opening and closing, and there was no longer the strength to struggle.
The copper-billed pelican tentatively touched the dying rainbow trout with its large beak, then picked up the rainbow trout's head with its beak and lowered it into its huge throat little by little.
I hid behind a big tree by the brook and watched the copper-billed pelican fish.
The copper-billed pelican bird is a first-class magical beast of birds, and is good at spewing out of its mouth a kind of 'acid' to attack the enemy, this acid is extremely corrosive, and this copper-billed pelican bird is good at flying, good at fishing, and likes to live in places with water.
In a bush of reeds not far from the river beach, a pair of huge eyes were revealed, and then a large mouth more than a meter long appeared from the water, it was a jungle crocodile more than five meters long, it looked at the copper-billed pelican bird, its eyes showed greed and killing, and then the huge head slowly sank into the stream.
Originally, I thought that the jungle crocodile would retreat and dive under the water to hunt other prey.
If it weren't for the fact that I sensed a fluctuation of water magic on the other side of the reeds, I would never have imagined that the crocodile was unleashing magic skills underwater.
The pale blue magic pattern circle flickered under the water, and on the surface of the water where the crocodile outcropped, a water arrow suddenly shot out, and the water arrow flew silently from behind the moment when the copper-billed slimy bird devoured the rainbow trout.
Although it was nothing more than a torrent, under the influence of magic, it possessed far more piercing power than the wooden pole feather arrows of the steel arrows.
At the moment before the water arrow touched the copper-billed pelican, the pelican bird seemed to turn its head with a sense, and its eyes showed a look of horror, and there was still half a fish in the bird's beak that was not completely swallowed, making it react a little sluggish, and the entire water arrow instantly pierced its skull, and the bare head exploded instantly, including the rainbow trout that was swallowed into the skull, which was also blown into two.
Then, a giant crocodile floated up from under the water, flicked its huge tail, and staggered to the shore, leaving a trail of water on the rocky beach.
It approached the pelican bird, its eyes fixed on the copper-billed pelican bird that had fallen to the ground and twitched, opened its huge crocodile snout, twisted its heavy and stout body, and swallowed the copper-billed pelican bird into its stomach in one gulp.
At this moment, not too far from my side, a large fireball suddenly appeared out of thin air, with a tail flame turned into a meteor, and smashed on the body of the jungle crocodile, the fireball exploded instantly, and the river beach was full of magical fire, and the entire body of the jungle crocodile was also ignited.
I heard the jungle crocodile roar in anger, a very low frequency sound wave that hit my eardrums.
The giant jungle crocodile's tail swept across the pebble beach, causing countless pebbles to splash in all directions.
But the fireball didn't seem to do any real damage to the Jungle Crocodile.
When he saw the giant crocodile crawling into the stream like crazy, he just rolled in the water at random and extinguished the magic fire on his body.
Then its vicious eyes looked over to us, and another huge fireball flew over, exploding on the water, and the magical fire burned on the surface of the water for a short time, and then gradually extinguished, and the water surface steamed white vapor.
When the smoke was completely cleared, and the surface of the stream returned to its original calm appearance, the jungle crocodile sank to the bottom of the water, and no trace was visible.
Hiram scolded from the side: "This beast can withstand my big fireball, what the hell." ”
Seeing Joe Senna on the side with a stunned look, he must have never thought about it at all, if this big fireball couldn't hurt the jungle crocodile, how would this matter end, every Grimm Empire has a blind worship of fire magic, they think that there are many systems of magic, only fire magic is the most powerful.
We also stumbled upon this jungle crocodile lurking in the reeds by the stream, and we made a series of plans at that time, and every step was well conceived.
However, they didn't go according to my plan.
According to my plan, the Jungle Crocodile will be lured out of the riverbank, and then the Jungle Crocodile will fall back into the ice magic trap, or it will be frozen by the ice magic, making it unable to run, or it will be imprisoned in place by the ice magic, and then everyone will use their magic to kill it.
But they were too impatient, and when things didn't go that far, Hiram released a powerful 'big ball technique', if this fireball hit an ordinary crocodile, it would have burned it into ashes, but the leather of the jungle giant crocodile has unparalleled fire magic resistance, which greatly resists the fire damage caused by this big fireball.
Seeing the jungle crocodile fleeing into the stream, the two initiators, the young aristocratic magician, were dumbfounded on the spot.
I sighed, my heart became cold, I remembered what Sister Guoguo once said to me: Don't fight a water magician by the river!
Well, now that jungle crocodile, I don't think it can do much less damage than a one-turn water magician, and it must be in extreme rage, this kind of second-level peak magical beast, has rudimentary wisdom, and the moment before it entered the water, I found that its left eye had been burned by a large fireball and flesh was a little blurred, and its eyes had buried the seeds of hatred.
A fine layer of cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and I glanced at Qige beside me, and said to myself: This thing is going to be bad!
The magical fire on the giant crocodile had been completely extinguished by the stream.
Suddenly the surroundings became very quiet, the jungle crocodile burrowed into the stream and never showed its head again, everyone waited for a while, and found that nothing happened, Hiram and Josenna were relieved, Kig and Lucia also glanced at each other, only the lizard-man maid Takama stood silently beside Kig with a solemn face.
Hiram jumped out of hiding and shouted, "It must have been scared away!"
"That's right, no matter what kind of magical beasts, when they face powerful fire magic, their souls must be trembling. Josenner echoed on the sidelines, not thinking that the escape of their prey was a serious matter.
It seemed that they still wanted to high-five each other.
"Why don't you follow our plan?" Lucia frowned, in fact, these two seniors sometimes only bought Lucia's account, so at this time, Lucia stood up and scolded them.
"This guy wants to be in the limelight so much, of course, the giant reptile slapped him hard in the face, we can still plan an operation, maybe try that trap plan of Jijia again, maybe we can go a little crazier. Josenna said to Lucia, with a fluttering eyebrow.
Hiram stood aside in frustration, he was a loser, but he didn't show any remorse, the hunting by the jungle stream in the past few days had made them a little inflated.
"It's too late, the crocodile's counterattack is about to begin!" I said to them quickly.
Because I found that one after another water system magic pattern arrays appeared in the stream, those were all 'water archery' magic, but I didn't expect that so many 'water archery' magic pattern arrays would emerge at once, I spread my legs and ran quickly into the jungle behind.
Without the slightest hesitation, Kig followed behind me with her skirt in her hand, and the lizard-maid Takama nervously guarded Kige's back.
"Lucia, run faster!" When Kig saw that Lucia was trying to get to the end, Kig knew that she was trying to stop the upcoming attack with her own strength, although Kig did not have such a keen sense of magic, but she could guess from the nervous looks of me and Takama that we were about to face a great challenge.
It was a danger that neither I nor Takama wanted to confront head-on, and only Kig knew what crazy people Takama and I were, we never feared death, we were true warriors on the battlefield, and sometimes we were even able to defy death in defiance.
Hiram and Joe Senner looked at us blankly.
"Stupid, don't run yet!" Lucia took the magic sword and ran quickly towards Qige, and then shouted loudly to the two young nobles who liked to be in the limelight, and it could be seen that she had some good feelings for those two people, because there was a little disappointment in his eyes at the moment, if it weren't for some expectations for them, then Lucia would definitely not show disappointment in her eyes at the moment.
Hiram was still standing in place, Josenner, who had reacted, had quickly grabbed his friend's hand and desperately pulled him backwards, while Lucia was carrying a magic sword, blocking behind the two people, at this moment, she was carrying a knight's light shield flowing with magic in her other hand, and she didn't know when she took it out, as if it appeared in her hand out of thin air.
"Hell!" I reluctantly exhaled the air in my chest, brought myself to a rapid halt, and then entered the magical state of 'time standstill', and in the space of three seconds, I quickly put three ice shields on Lucia's body.
Then, countless water arrows were like a group of flying fish suddenly emerging from the vast sea, dragging their watery tails and shooting at us.
"Rain of Water Arrows"
That jungle crocodile was able to cast an area of effect magic skill, no wonder I felt a sense of extreme insecurity just now.
I swooped forward, climbing a tree on the bank of the river with the agility of a monkey, and Kig and Takama cleverly hid behind the tree.
At this time, I saw that the rain of water arrows had chased behind Lucia, and a water arrow shot on the ice shield, which did not shatter the ice shield, but suddenly turned into a thick layer of ice, and then, I suddenly lost the power of control over the ice shield, and the entire ice shield fell from Lucia's side on the pebble beach, falling into countless ice slags.
Then another water arrow flew in, and the three ice shields I had placed around Lucia's body were knocked to the ground by the water arrows.
The fourth water arrow chased after Lucia again, and she seemed to consciously swing the shield in her hand, and in a hurry, the shield block was not properly positioned, and the water arrow hit Lucia's knight's shield.
It was a completely different feeling of power, and when the first few water arrows shot down the ice shield, it gave people the feeling that those water arrows were light and fluttering, and they were not at all the same as the water arrows that hunted the copper-billed Daigo bird before.
However, it was the very gentle water arrows that covered the ice shield, which just blocked my control of the ice shield, causing those ice shields to fall to the ground and shatter, which gave people a sensory illusion, as if the water arrows flying over were light and weak.
It is estimated that Lucia has this idea, so she will raise her shield to block in a hurry.
With a "bang", the water arrow exploded on the knight's shield, and the huge impact force slammed the knight's light shield on Lucia's chest, knocking her backwards, and Lucia's body involuntarily flew backwards.
Lucia was a little too contemptuous of these water arrows, so she would suffer such a big loss, and at the critical time, a transparent shield appeared on the knight's light shield, slowing down the power of some water arrows, Rao is so, Lucia was still hit and slightly injured, and when she flew in the air, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Hiram and Josenner, who were soaked in front of Lucia's body, watched Lucia being knocked into the air and had nothing to do.
Moreover, they lost Lucia's protective barrier behind them, and their bodies were completely exposed under the rain of arrows.
Frightened, the two of them hurriedly unfolded the magic shield scroll in their hands, two pale yellow eggshells, completely protected the two of them, the defensive effect of the magic shield was obviously much stronger than the ice shield, and a few water arrows fell on the magic shield, just making the pale yellow eggshell tremble slightly a few times, and then Hiram and Josenna ran out of the coverage area of the arrow rain in embarrassment with the two magic shields.
A gentle breeze was like a ball of soft cotton, gently catching Lucia, and Kig's 'levitation' gave Lucia some cushioning, and she adjusted her body in the air and landed smoothly on the ground.
Then I performed a 'hydrotherapy' and landed on Lucia just in time.
When the three of them had escaped from the rain of arrows, and were hiding behind the trees to catch their breath, I stood on the branches of the trees, picked up my silver shotgun, and aimed it in the eyes of the giant jungle crocodile that had resurfaced from the stream, my fingers hooked to the brackets......
It now has one eye burned by the fireball, and the other eye is looking at us fiercely and greedily.
I wanted it to be blind, and then, little by little, I had a 'tongue of fire' weapon attached to it, but just as I was about to shoot, I suddenly saw Adele's figure in my field of vision.
Like a Valkyrie, she rushed straight from the opposite shore and jumped high and arrogantly.
At this moment, she was in the blind spot of the jungle crocodile's field of vision, she held the spike saber in her hand, which generally flashed with magic glow, and her body quietly landed on the broad back of the jungle crocodile, like a dragon slaying warrior, half squatting behind the head of the jungle crocodile, raising the spike saber high, and inserting it into the back of the jungle crocodile's head...... 2k reading web
