Chapter 61: Vitality
Lena finally couldn't hold on anymore, she had exhausted the last trace of her magic power, and she no longer had any strength in her body, so she could only hold Lucy, who was still unconscious, and sat on the ground and gasped violently.
She tried to raise her head, it was daylight, but in the dim forest, she couldn't even see the light outside the woods.
"Sister Lianna......" Hongyan's magic power was not much left, and at this time, a circle of fireballs was released around the four of them, slightly blocking the speed of the vines, "Leave us alone, you can go quickly......"
"You've done enough for us...... We won't blame you. The pale Shaya also began to unleash the last of her magic, and the spikes formed by the sand were ready to fight, and she abandoned her best defense and turned to attack.
Lena squeezed out a smile, and in this last moment, she finally felt the warmth, "I can't go." ”
Two strange figures gradually appeared in the dim light, the corners of their mouths were cracked hideously, drooling and dripping, as if they did not intend to assimilate the four witches into monsters, but to eat them.
"Fresh and tender...... Flesh and blood...... Fragrant!"
Maple Leaf, who was almost unable to see the human form, stretched out his scarlet tongue and said something indistinctly.
"Hongyan!
In the last moments of her life, Shaya finally burst out with a fighting spirit that was completely different from her usual meekness.
"Hmm!"
The flames mixed with the spikes formed by the sand distorted the two hideous figures even more, and the huge, twisted shadows cast on the giant tree that reached the sky, like the devil depicted in the hymn to hell.
Maybe the two of them really wanted to eat the four of them raw, so they didn't rush to counterattack, but used huge vines to block the attack of the two of them, and then slowly approached.
Hongyan and Shaya finally used up the last of their magic and nervously retreated, huddled together with Lena Lucy.
They weren't the top attack witches in the magic group, and now they were easily suppressed by the two monsters, and they were secretly regretting why they didn't usually condense their magic power, but unfortunately they all knew that they didn't have a chance again.
They only hope that the two monsters will give them a good time when they eat them, so that they can end this miserable life as soon as possible.
It is indeed tragic enough, or it should be, for there is no one who can come to the Orr Mountains whose experience is not tragic.
But in the past, only men wanted to harm them, but now not only men wanted to harm them, evil beasts wanted to harm them, but even their former close friends came back from the dead to persecute them.
In the face of the approaching two monsters, the witches didn't feel so frightened, compared to the hardships and hardships they had gone through before, what could the pain of death be counted?
Perhaps this is the best way to get out of this miserable world.
"Eat ......"
There were no eyeballs in their eyes, and the two monsters who were all dark stretched out their tongues in unison, and the scarlet tongues began to stretch out in the air, wanting to directly strangle the neck of the fourth girl.
Even if they knew the intentions of the two monsters and were conscious, Lianna, Hongyan and Shaya couldn't stop it, they could even see the trajectory of their tongues clearly, but due to their weakness, they couldn't dodge at all, and could only watch the scarlet slender tongue on their neck.
Hongyan and Shaya were immediately dragged to the ground by a strong force, and the strangled tongue on their necks made them breathless, so they could only grow their mouths in a daze, and there was a strange sound in their throats before suffocation, and finally their eyes began to gradually white, and they were about to suffocate to death.
Lena held out her hand, trying to summon her magic one last time.
But she was already like a kettle that had been poured out, and no matter how she poured it, she couldn't pour water, and although her arms had begun to tremble violently, there was still not a trace of wind flowing in the dreary forest.
Seeing that the two girls were about to be strangled to death, she hung her hands like a deflated ball, and she finally shed tears with red eyes and tears.
"Sister Lena is crying, it's really strange. ”
As Lena was bowing her head and weeping, a clear male voice rang out in front of her.
"Rafa!"
Lena looked up like a lightning strike.
A ray of light shone through the hole above her head to the ground, and in the center of the light was a figure with a sword, a figure she knew all too well! If it weren't for the fishy smell of the two monsters' tongues breaking so real, she almost thought it was her dying dream.
"Ahhhhh
"Looks like I've come at the right time. Untying her tongue around the necks of the two girls, Rafa dragged the unconscious girls to Lenna.
"You ......" Lena didn't know what to say now, she wanted to ask too many questions, such as how he got here, why he was alone, and there were no other witches with him......
"Hurry up, you can't beat them!"
After sobering up slightly, although Lena was very touched by Rafa's appearance, she also knew that he was just an ordinary mortal, not even a witch, how could he deal with a mutated witch?
"I haven't started fighting yet, how do you know I can't beat it?"
Rafa stood in the light that had been thrown into the ground from the void, and danced his shiny sword slightly.
"Brute!"
"You're damned!"
The two monsters that were extremely hideous controlled the rolling vines and fierce electric light at the same time, and the amazing momentum made Liana in the back can't help but close her eyes, she was afraid that when she opened her eyes again, Rafa would turn into a handful of charcoal.
"Luckily, it's not an aggressive witch. ”
Rafa turned the star to the end, the long sword in his hand flew up and down, and the huge vines around him were neatly cut off like tofu, and they were scattered aside, and green juice began to flow out of the fractures, in short, all the attacking vines were cut down, and none of them could touch him.
As for the other witch who used thunder and lightning, as she roared loudly, Heda, who was standing in the treetops, pulled the trigger on her, and the thunder and lightning were gathering in her hand, and her left arm was torn completely from the shoulder, revealing the black internal skeleton that did not look like blood underneath.
This was the first time Hedda had pointed a gun at a human, and it didn't use magic to shoot, and although her target didn't look like a real human, the power of the bullet against a human was truly amazing.
This made her a little glad that the man who had attacked Rafa had not aimed at his head, and she estimated that if the assassin had shot him in the head, his head would probably explode immediately, and there would be no chance of rescue.
"Heda!"
Hearing the gunshots, Lena looked overhead in surprise, and sure enough, at the entrance of the hole where the light fell, a white-haired figure was very conspicuous.
Knowing that Hedda was also here, she suddenly relaxed a lot, maybe she was destined by fate.
"Monsters who can't speak clearly, I'm afraid you're no different from those walking skeletons. ”
I don't know how many huge vines were cut off, Rafa was also a little impatient, taking advantage of an air attack that cut off the vines, he jumped up suddenly, crossed an amazing distance, and landed firmly in front of Maple Leaf;
Rafa didn't care, a dodge appeared behind Maple Leaf, and the attack of her hair also missed.
"Relief!"
Secretly gritting his teeth, he slashed out a sword from the back of Maple Leaf, cutting through her left arm, cutting out of her right arm, and cutting off her waist.
The upper body of the maple leaf fell to the ground with a "poof", and there was not a drop of blood flowing, but all the wriggling plants around it stopped abruptly, and the dim forest suddenly quieted down, like a silent world with sound turned off.
Glancing at the motionless Maple Leaf, he withdrew his sword, quickly ran to Liana's side, and crouched down.
Since the trunk was too high, Heddah couldn't get down, and she didn't know how Rafa got down, so he had to do the task of carrying the witch alone.
Rafa picked up Lena on his back, grabbed a witch in his left hand and right hand, although there was still one left, but he had no choice but to carry it again on the second trip.
"Hold on. ”
Hearing Rafa's advice, Lena was still a little confused, but when she was a few feet above the ground in an instant, she finally understood what he meant.
Rafa no longer concealed his strength and agility, jumping repeatedly on the trunks of two adjacent trees, the speed was almost like a swallow flying upward, light and fast, who could believe that a man who could carry three people and quickly climb to the top of the giant tree was an ordinary human?
In just a few breaths, Lena already felt that the bright hole was in front of her, and in the blink of an eye, Rafa had jumped out of the hole with them, and landed firmly on the heavy leaves, and there was a large and strange thing in the sky, and looking at the rope hanging from it, she knew that it should be Rafa's new idea.
As soon as Rafa landed, Hedda couldn't help but ask, "Are you a witch?"
"Huh?" Rafa was a little surprised, and unconsciously glanced at Lena on her back, "Nonsense, isn't she a witch?
"I'm asking you!" Hedda stared at Rafa's face, as if trying to see the hint of his mask.
Rafa put the witches down and straightened up, "I'm a witch? No, I'm a serious man," he knew that his amazing abilities would be questioned, so he wasn't surprised, "Didn't you see me pee?
"Nonsense, when have I seen it!" Hedda couldn't help blushing a little as she remembered the scene on the hanging basket, she couldn't understand why Rafa could still know that she was peeking when she had turned away.
"I won't tell you yet. ”
Feeling the trees tremble slightly, Rafa drew his sword and jumped back into the burned hole.
The moment he jumped into the hole, he plunged his sword into the huge tree trunk, and then applied spiritual power on the blade of the sword, breaking through the trees and quickly sliding towards the ground.
Retracting his sword, he noticed that the corpse of the maple leaf that he had just cut in two had changed dramatically, and many vines and trees had begun to grow from her wreckage, and they tended to grow faster and faster.
Sensing that something was wrong, Rafa quickly grabbed the blackened Lucy and began to climb up the trunk of the tree, but as soon as he moved, the newly grown vines behind him seemed to have found him, and began to grow rapidly in the direction he had left, no less fast than Rafa's rapid ascent.
Glancing back, he realized that there was more than one vine, and countless tiny vines in the entire forest were surging in this direction.
Rafa didn't know if they were for the only light or to chase it, but when he got to this position, he couldn't run anymore.
Rushing out of the hole, before he could hit the ground, he shouted at the witches, "Go!"
Throwing Lucy in his hand to Heda, he picked up Liana, who had not yet recovered her strength, grabbed a witch in one hand, and began to run towards the rope hanging from the hot air balloon.
In order to free his hands to grasp the rope, he folded the two witches on top of each other and pressed them tightly under his armpits, which was a bit clumsy to run, but he did not want to give up either of them, because these witches would be the wealth of Icefield City in the future, and they could not afford to waste it.
They hadn't gone far before a lot of vines that seemed to be conscious had squeezed out of the narrow hole and were still spreading behind them.
It's like a live maggot squeezing out of a small wound, still wriggling around.
"Don't ...... Abandon me......"
The strange voice sounded behind him again, and Rafa turned back to find that the witch he had severed was reconnected with the vines, and was driving the wildly growing vines towards him.
"You jump first!"
Approaching the hanging rope, Rafa shouted.
And Elle, who was above her head, also saw the danger below, and lowered the height slightly, allowing the rope to get closer to them.
Although Hedda wanted to stop and burn it down, she could only jump up obediently and grab the rope when Rafa shouted at her, and then moved it up.
Rafa followed suit, reaching out and grabbing the rope.
Elle was clearly unprepared for the sudden increase in the weight of the six men, and as soon as he grabbed the rope, the hot air balloon was pulled by him slightly, almost as high as standing on a leaf.
Taking advantage of this moment, the manic plants were already following suit, dozens of vines sticking straight into Rafa's back.
Of course, Rafa knew the crisis behind him, but since Hedda was there, he didn't even have to turn his head, and besides, it was useless for him to turn back, he couldn't spare his hand.
Sure enough, Hedda couldn't make a move, but she was a white-haired witch who could extend her magic far away with just her mind, and when the vines attacked, he raised a thick wall of fire behind Rafa.
The plants that rushed into the wall of fire suddenly scorched and burned, and the temperature was obviously much higher than that of ordinary flames.
At this time, Ai Lei also reacted and began to increase her firepower, and the hot air balloon was also rapidly rising into the air.
Rising into mid-air, Lena lowered her head and found that the maple leaf, who had turned into a monster, was still looking up at her.
"Heda, don't burn this forest, maybe the power of Icefield City will extend here in the future, and we may still need this forest. Before he was too far away, Rafa hurriedly looked up and shouted at Heda.
"Got it. With a reply, she began to climb up the rope, which was not easy for a witch who focused on magic rather than physical strength.
Since Hedda climbed very slowly, Rafa could only follow and slowly move upwards.
Finally, after a long time, Hedda finally climbed into the hanging basket, and Rafa followed suit, putting the witches down and wrapping them in robes.
