26, giant insects

While the Scharnhorst battleship was searching for the missing nun at sea, thousands of miles away in England, somewhere in a dark crypt.

The three male wizards knelt on the ground back to back, their hands raised, twisted into a strange posture, and under their knees were circles of sacrificial circles, which shone with a green shimmer, constantly drawing life energy from the nostrils of the three sacrificed. The life energy fluttered in midair, absorbing a swirling cloud of image fragments.

A flickering figure sat in a chair, staring unblinkingly at a transparent swirling fragment of image in front of him.

In the center of the hall was a huge golden planetarium that rotated slowly, and with each rotation, a white electric light flickered through the hall.

Countless wizards in standard robes stood beneath the giant planetarium that swirled, waving their wands. With each wave of the wand, a clock or gear changes its position. It was as if they were performing some kind of sacred religious ritual or some unknowable magical experiment.

"Grand plans... Hum. Behind the fragments, the flickering figure muttered.

Footsteps rang out.

Another tall figure appeared beside the dark shadow: "Leviathan is ready, if nothing else, you will never see him again." ”

"No accidents?"

The black shadow sneered: "No, there will definitely be an accident. ”

"I've seen the strength of that monster, and no one can escape. The woman whispered.

"Do you want me to be careless? The shadow said in a cold tone.

"No, you're mistaken, I just think you haven't closed your eyes for so many days, maybe you need to take a break. ”

"True wizards never rest, and I'm sure Bach will find a flaw and carry out a backup plan. ”

After a moment of silence, the woman asked in a low voice, "But what if he really can't get out?"

"That means he's just that, unworthy of being my opponent. ”

......

......

"Chloe!?"

Hoffa slowly rose from the boat, uneasily calling out his companion's name, but his companion did not respond.

There was a thick layer of fog in front of him, the fog distorted the sun, and it was like a wall across the middle of the woods and sandy beaches of the deserted island, and the visibility was only five or six meters, but the only thing that could be seen was that the ground was not pure water, but white sand.

There are some round boulders on the beach, and some seaweed that has been sun-burned until rotting hangs on the boulders. Countless seabirds are constantly flying and circling in the sky, and they are not afraid of people at all.

In a coma, the lifeboat was washed up on an unknown island.

Dominic's wounds still hurt him. Ignoring the aches and pains, he struggled to climb up the slippery boulders and step by step to the beach. The sand here is not grassy, the road is bumpy, and there are potholes from time to time, which is very difficult to walk.

He walked up and down on the beach, sometimes shouting, sometimes carefully discerning whether there was anything unusual in the sea except for the screams of seagulls and herons. In his opinion, if Chloe had already landed, he should always let himself know where he was.

So he listened carefully, but there was nothing but the sound of the sea crashing on the shore, except for the occasional screech of seagulls.

At this time, he saw a row of footprints on the beach.

He thought it was left by Chloe, but when he looked closely, the footprints were very large, they were left by an adult man, and there were traces of drag behind him, so he became cautious and chased after the footprints without saying a word.

He hadn't gone far when he saw two other strange fellows, dressed in black wet wizard robes, one of whom was stout and standing on the beach at high tide, covered in sand and like a slender man.

The other, thinner was dragged up from the water, and he leaned limply against the crook of his companion's arm, coughing incessantly.

As he was coughing, the wizard who was dragging saw Hoffa standing not far away, let go of his companion, drew his wand from his waist, and pointed at him tremblingly.

The dragged wizard fell back into the water with a thud, choking on several mouthfuls of water, then stumbling up from the sand and drawing his wand.

It was the German Dark Wizards, who were washed up on this island with them.

Hoffa flashed to the reef and leaned against it. The Magic Glove was taken away by Chloe, and the wounds on her body hadn't healed, so this was not a good time to fight.

"Come out. ”

The two black-robed men on the beach were not in very good shape, and they raised their wands, swaying and vomiting the water, and yelled in German.

He poked his head out from behind the reef and glanced at them.

The two dark wizards watched him emerge and flick their wands wide open.

"Smash them all!"

"Drill the wrist bone!"

Hoffa quickly retracted his head and leaned against the reef.

However, he waited for a long time, and did not hear the sound of the spell hitting the reef. I didn't notice any magical shocks, only the monotonous sound of waves crashing against the reef.

Then he poked his head out again, and the two dark wizards were checking their wands in the sunlight with puzzled expressions. It's like Muggles inspecting waterlogged guns.

Seeing that he stuck his head out again, the two German wizards who checked the wand flicked their wands nervously: "Except for your weapon, Avada will take his life, faint and ......"

Countless spells came out of their mouths like no money.

Hoffa retracted his head.

I waited for a while, but there was still no spell, and the waves crashed against the reef with a rattling sound. It was as if there were only three of them left in the whole world.

Wrong.

The two wizards over there didn't release any magic at all. He didn't know what was going on, but if something went wrong with the enemy, Hoffa, as an opponent, would not be merciful, so he immediately jumped out from behind the rock, and his five fingers clawed forward.

The two black-robed men saw him start and thought that he was going to release the Transfiguration Spell, so they immediately fell backwards and fell to the ground, rolled back in embarrassment, and hid behind a reef.

But when they hid, they stuck out their heads and saw that the ground was not deformed, and nothing had happened.

The sea breeze blew through the boy on the reef, and he raised his right arm, and his left hand was still grasping the wrist of his right arm, looking like a Muggle with some secondary disease.

The two black-robed men behind the reef also held their wands, their eyes rolled vigilantly, and the two sides fell into a silent confrontation, the scene was eerie like a comedy in the silent film era.

About three seconds passed.

A cold sweat ran down Hoffa's head.

Something was wrong, his magic couldn't be used, not so much that he couldn't use it, but that he felt like his body was being hollowed out. This is completely different from the experience after drinking the forbidden potion, which blocks the use of his own magic power, and this is like magic flowing from nature to the body, and then from the body to nature, his body is like a leaking balloon, unable to store magic at all.

Was Chloe the reason for taking her magic glove?

He thought about it, and while it was a different thing from the lack of mana, he couldn't find any other explanation.

"Aldo, that kid can't do it, strike first!"

"Good!"

In the distance, the two dark wizards saw that the boy could not use magic, and they looked at each other, put away their wands, picked up a piece of wood from the ground that had been washed up by the sea, and staggered towards Hoffa.

Seeing that the two adult wizards rushed over like this, still carrying a big stick as thick as his thigh, Hoffa immediately jumped off the reef and ran away without looking back.

"Damn it, don't let me find your .....!!"

As he ran, he cursed Chloe viciously, casting a phantom charm, shield charm, or other transformation charm.

None of them can be used.

"Stop!"

"Little thing, hand over Lemay!"

One of the pursuing wizards fell, and the other lifted him up from the sand and continued the pursuit.

Hoffa clutched the wound in his lower abdomen and limped awkwardly on the beach, his eyes purring. I need a weapon, I need a weapon... Damn it!

As if hearing his prayers, the reflection of metal came from the sand in the distance, and he fixed his eyes on it.

Dominic's oversized crosssword didn't sink to the bottom of the sea, but was washed up on the beach, half-buried in the mud and sand.

Overjoyed, he slammed into the shallows with a clatter, grasped the hilt of the crosssword, and drew the greatsword out of the sand.

Fortunately, he has never slackened his physical training on weekdays, and this extremely heavy weapon has not crushed him at a critical time.

With a weapon in his hand, his confidence was immediately sufficient, he stopped running away, and looked back with a cruel smile.

The two black-robed men saw him pouting his ass and kneeling on the beach, thinking he was cornered and began to pray. After approaching, he raised the big stick and smashed it down with his head and face.

The distance between the two sides was no more than three meters, and Huo **, who was kneeling on the ground, rounded the cross sword, the arc of the sword flashed, the rotten wood was cut in half by the iron blade, and several ship maggots hung down from the broken place.

At this time, the two dark witches sent out the extra weapons in Hoffa's hands.

"Anker..."

"Let's go!!"

When they saw the power of the weapons on the other side, they immediately threw away the wooden sticks and rushed towards the distant woods without looking back.

"I want to run!"

Hoffa, who had the upper hand, was unwilling to let the tiger return to the mountain, and dragged his heavy sword to chase after him.

The cross sword weighed nearly thirty kilograms, and he was wounded in his body and ran very slowly. Fortunately, the two of them had just crawled out of the sea, and they were in a very bad state, their feet twisted left and right, and their speed could not be fast.

The three of them rushed into the woods at turtle speed.

The plants in the forest are lush and shade the sky. Most of them are strange and ancient ferns that can't even be named, and some palm-sized flying insects are flying in the air, and the scene looks like an alien.

Hoffa, who was chasing after the red eyes, did not notice the strangeness of the scenery around him, he gritted his teeth, and looked like he was going to cut the two people opposite him under the horse.

Through the dense and strange forest, they came to a dry sandy riverbed, washed down the narrow bank, and suddenly opened up before their eyes, and the ground turned into yellow sand with no end in sight.

The two black-robed robes fled as they picked up sand from the ground and threw it backwards.

The smoke and dust are billowing out, Hoffa's vision is blocked, his secret path is not good, the terrain is so open, if these two choose to run separately, which one should he chase?

Just when he was worried that the other side would run away.

In the smoke and dust in front of them, the two black robes actually went and returned, and rushed straight towards Hofa.

This fateful gesture frightened him for a moment, and he thought that the other side suddenly wanted to break the net, so he immediately rounded the cross sword.

But immediately, he understood the reason why the two men went and returned.

In the billowing smoke and dust, behind the two black-robed wizards, several huge worms actually circled and rushed out, their bodies were several meters long, which was very terrifying.

Thundered!

Not only that, but countless craters suddenly broke open on the dry river bank, and huge sand worms and multi-legged creatures crawled out of the pits. They squirm and intertwine with each other, their multi-layered mouthparts densely covered with sharp teeth and secreting appetizing, acidic saliva.

"Holy!"

He cursed, ignoring the two German wizards, turned around and ran into the forest in the distance.

Soon, two black robes passed by Hoffa, leaving him behind. Hoffa gritted his teeth and looked at the oversized cross sword in his hand, and threw it to the ground in pain.

After losing more than thirty kilograms, his steps became brisk, and he caught up with the two dark wizards in front of him.

Two dark wizards, one with red hair and the other with blonde hair.

The red-haired fellow, seeing that the boy was quickly overtaking them after throwing away his weapon, suddenly stabbed his leg diagonally and tried to trip him.

Don't forget to stumble yourself when you run away!!

Hoffa jumped to his feet and kicked the red-haired wizard on the waist, knocking him to the ground. Without looking back, he went into the forest.

"Anker!!"

The golden-haired wizard hurriedly helped the red-haired wizard to his feet.

The red-haired wizard clutched his waist, "Go, hurry up!"

Hoffa was the first to run into the forest, and at this moment, all corners of the damp and gloomy forest were also burrowed with insects of various sizes, the largest of which was a giant insect the size of an adult, which looked like centipedes or grasshoppers, and the hooked jaws glittered in the sun.

Damn, it's in the nest?

He wasn't afraid of insects, but he was horrified by the sheer number of them. So he rushed towards the beach with all his might, and the insects followed him with sharpness and precision, and there were more and more of them.

Soon, a large area of black pressure was formed, so much so that even the original appearance of this forest could not be seen clearly.

Back at the beach, his eyes were first fixed on a reef in the shallow water, which looked safe in the middle of the rough tide.

Looking back at the bugs that were already taking over the beach, Hoffa jumped into the shallow water without hesitation and swam to the reef. The bugs chasing him stopped on the beach, waving their claws or spitting acid, but they didn't go into the water.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could think about what was going on on the island, there was a sound of falling water in the distance.

It turned out to be the two German dark wizards, who also escaped from the island full of giant insects, and swam towards the reef they fancied in embarrassment.

This shocked Hoffa, and he immediately increased the speed of his stroke, and the two of them naturally did something similar to him.

Finally, almost the same second that Hoffa was standing on the reef, two dark wizards were also standing on the reef.
