Chapter 70: Shadow Frogman

With a wave of their wands, the tip of which was neither flame nor flashing, the Shadow Frogmen were attacked by an invisible wind pressure and fell to the ground.

The front is frustrated, and the rear is waiting to see what happens. In about five seconds, three frogmen raised their sticks and stabbed them. I did the same, but the magic failed, and I had to dodge the deadly attack with all my might.

"One more time. ”

With a wave of my wand, I chanted "The Elements of Nature Merge", but this time there was no sense of talent, and the fact was the same as before, the magic failed again.

"Dean, what's going on? Could it be that I'm too weak to perform magic continuously?"

"It's not. I don't know the specifics. There is no way, escape from the encirclement first. Raise your wand and aim it at the natives, then chant 'Earth, thou art a solid backing and a fierce weapon.' The soil that guards us has turned into thousands of rubble, and it has become our strength to overcome thorns and thorns'. ”

After the chanting, the earthen pillar exploded and the broken earth fell to the ground.

"Then chant 'The howling and fierce wind, galloping the earth with an invisible form, rolling up the stormy waves, helping me'. ”

The wind whipped up debris and struck the Shadow Frogman.

"Dean, why don't you just attack the Shadow Frogman with wind magic, why do I want to use the magic twice?"

"It's me, not you, who is working the magic this time. With my wand in your hand, my chanting is useless, and now I am only connected to my wand by my own will, and my magic power is insufficient. Take advantage of this opportunity to escape. ”

I immediately ran towards the breach, but the Shadow Frogman jumped to stop me.

Closing my eyes and trying to recall what I had just felt, what I had caught in the dark: "Wind." ”

Losing my balance, I flew into the air in the wind, collided with a branch in the Black Forest, and fell to the ground.

The old wounds didn't heal and the new ones came back, but the great luck in the misfortune was that I didn't fall and I seemed to be out of the shadow frogmen—no wonder. A couple of shadow frogmen ran towards me at incredible speed. The frog should be jumping and jumping, why is it running so fast.

I fled, clutching my chest and clasping my hands and feet, but there was a world of speed difference between us.

"Dirt. ”

Finding the feeling and shouting, several pillars of earth rose from the ground to block the frogman who was leaping towards me.

As the pain intensified, I gasped for breath and looked for shelter. Unexpectedly, a shadow frogman suddenly jumped from a tree and kicked me.

Suspecting that my bones were cracking again, I propped myself up and watched as the Shadow Frogmen surrounded me again.

"Yi Jiahe, activate the magic just now!" this time it was the wand that spoke. Suddenly, I threw my wand in fright, and hurried to catch it when I realized that I couldn't throw it.

"Wind. "Nothing happened.

"Dirt. "I was a little desperate.

"Sister Dongyan, can I negotiate with them?"

"No way. "A cold-blooded wand.

"Am I not finished?"

"Hold on, in two minutes, the reinforcements I sent will be where you are. ”

"What, Dean, tell me how?" the wand stopped speaking.

"Croak...... "The shadow frogman who kicked me was only a meter away from me.

"Goo, goo...... "Can you take me as your companion?"

The Shadow Frogman hesitated, and I smiled and shouted "Gollum".

A sharp rod flew up and stuck firmly beside me. Five decimeters to the right, my hands will be useless.

"Quack-" was clearly a call to the enemy.

I dodged a stab and pulled out the stick from the side and aimed it at the Shadow Frogman in front of me. Suddenly it occurred to me that when I saw such movements, they would probably take me as an enemy entirely, and then they would pick up a sharp stick and stab at me, and I would be a hornet's nest with a thousand arrows piercing my heart. Put down the wooden stick and surrender, I am afraid that I will not have the skills to return to the sky, so I can only sacrifice my life.

With the wand in my crotch, I clenched the stick with both hands to better control it.

"A life is worth a life. "But when I remembered that the other person was a magical creature, I felt that I didn't deserve to die. The worst part is that when I die, they won't eat me, not even bones?

As I thought about it, I didn't notice the shadow frogmen around me put away their sticks, and it wasn't until the shadow frogmen in front of me shouted "Quack" that I realized that they no longer seemed to be hostile to me.

Slowly putting away the sticks, I stuck them in the ground.

"Quack. "They called.

"Goo, goo. "My name is too.

"Quack......" they cried in unison.

"What are you doing?" I didn't know what that meant.

I once watched on TV that there were tribes in the jungle that performed certain rituals, and one of the battle rituals seemed to be a circle of people and then two brave men duel in the circle. Now, as I watched the shadow frogmen around me scream and beat the ground with wooden sticks, and as the shadow frogmen in front of me walked around me like an orangutan and showed their people how strong they were, I linked this to the ritual of battle.

"Quack. The opponent stood still, raised his wooden stick and stared at me.

What should I do? I can't escape, and I'm not very sure that I will win the duel. There is still a minute and a half to go, as long as it passes, the reinforcements that Dean Fang Dongyan said will arrive. I just have to hold on......

"Quack. "The frogs raised their sticks at me, and it seemed that I had no choice.

The battle ritual of the Shadow Frogmen should be a duel between two brave men, and it is a duel of life and death. This can be seen in the fact that I imitated the shadow frogman on the opposite side and raised the stick to collide with it at his beckon, but the frogmen around me still didn't put the stick down.

As much as I don't like this magical creature, I don't want to destroy it with the determination to kill my enemies when I think it's a life in front of me, and the solemnity of their battle rituals makes me awe-inspired. When I think about it, this kind of battle ritual must have been performed many times by the other party, and it is sacred to them, and it is not allowed to be slandered by others, so I feel that I should give up my life. However, life is precious, and I can't do it......

Thinking about it, I struggled. The Shadow Frogman didn't understand what I was saying, and stabbed at me with his stick, and the duel began with its first attack.

My way of fighting is simple, one word, hide. The conclusion of the thinking was that I could just wait for the reinforcements to arrive, so that I would not have to bother to kill my life, nor would I have to be ashamed to ruin the Shadow Frogmen's battle ritual, after all, I was not the one who would destroy it.

The idea is clear, the problem is real. It was as if my ribs were really cracked, and every time I struggled to dodge an attack, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I almost stumbled to the ground once - the Shadow Frog is a talent that doesn't matter if you're hurt or not, you will chase after someone when you see someone fall, and there will be a big hole in my body.

Although the opponent's attack speed is not fast, and its pattern is very monotonous, the pain is severe, and I really can't stand it when I hold on until there is a minute left, and I really can't stand it and roll over and fall to the ground. Thinking that this was not going to work, I had to do something. At that moment, the strange feeling returned, and I grabbed my wand and prepared to cast my magic.

"Quack. "The Shadow Frogman didn't take advantage of the danger and put up a wooden stick waiting for me to get up.

Somehow, I figured something terrible would happen if I fought it off with my wand. Alerted by my instincts, I let go of my wand and stood with my body supported by a wooden stick.

When my opponent saw me standing up, he immediately raised his sharp stick and aimed it at me.

"Stupid, anyway, the other party didn't move, just lie down obediently. I laughed at myself and held up my stick to the Shadow Frogman.

Sweat dripped, flowed into the eyes, and flowed into the soil. There is a natural smell in the air, the smell of damp earth, the smell of decaying creatures.

As if to cheer me on, the shadow frogmen around me shouted again and slammed their sticks on the ground. The monotonous sound echoes through the Black Forest, striking at my heart and shaking my soul.

The pain will pass, and even if it is fatal, it will eventually return to darkness. However, I don't think I'll ever feel the same joy as I do now. Under the severe pain, the blood boiled. Under the clarion call of battle, this emotion is different from the joy of an outburst of madness, in which there is a repulsive rationality and wildness.

Suddenly, I wanted to undress, let my body be blown by the wind of nature, and let my soul cry between heaven and earth. I didn't do it because I was embarrassed in front of a group of frogmen, especially if a frogman took a fancy to me......

If you don't want to, give it a go. This may be the last chapter of life, but it is a wonderful chapter of life.

"Come on. ”

As if to understand my words, the Shadow Frogmen stabbed at me.

It was still a single attack, and I easily dodged a one-handed stick and threw it at my opponent.

My opponent opened his mouth and spewed water to knock me away.

Glad that I didn't fly to the sharp sticks that rose around me, I adjusted my posture and stood up, and secretly cursed in my heart that the shadow frogman who had not taken advantage of the danger was using a shady trick at this time.

The opponent took advantage of the victory to pursue, and when I stood up, I couldn't help but dodge. I thought I was dodging, but my opponent followed my example and threw a stick at my waist with one hand.

Knocked away again, I rolled a few laps on the ground trying to keep my focus on my opponent.

When I stopped, it was just as my opponent stabbed, and I had the foresight to dodge the attack and grab my opponent's wooden stick to prevent him from using it.

As I thought, my opponent opened his mouth to spray water, and I quickly let go of my opponent's stick, bent down and pounced at its feet, grabbing it and stabbing it before it could react.

I knew that I would be stabbed and killed at the slightest thought, but killing is not my style.

Knowing that I was at its feet, the opponent lifted the stick and stabbed me. I grabbed my opponent's foot and yanked it—the frog's legs were slimy, but good to pull—and the unbalanced opponent fell to the ground, the stick rolling out of his palm.

I pressed my opponent down with my thigh and stabbed at it. The tip stops a few meters in front of its frog's head, and the winner is decided.

"You lost. I smirked.

"Quack. My opponent screamed and suddenly sprayed water at me.

Caught off guard, I let go of the stick and sat on the ground without opening my eyes.

"me!"

Wiping the water off my face as fast as I could, I saw my opponent grab a stick and prepare to attack.

I also grabbed the stick, struck it as the opponent stabbed me, deflected it, and then slammed it at the opponent with his iron head. My opponent fell to the ground, and my hair was all mucus.

Knowing that it wouldn't be caught, I struck first to stomp on my opponent's stick.

"Hah, so you can't use it. ”

I knew it was going to kick me, so I dodged it and hit it with lightning speed. This way, it won't die.

My opponent let go of the sticks and I took the opportunity, so I had two sticks in my hands and my opponent was empty-handed.

Hate to fight and kill, I held up two wooden sticks and threw them out of the field. It's only on the crowd of onlookers, but then I don't have to fight my opponent to the death.

Turning to my opponent, it pounced on me. I couldn't read the Shadow Frogman's expression, but I could feel it angry right now.

"Gollum—"

My opponent threw his fist me. All of a sudden, I almost fainted. It used to be a sharp pain, but now it probably exceeds the pain level.

The second one is about to come down. Long pain is better than short pain, and I slammed my opponent's seemingly limp abdomen as a return gift for kicking me before.

The opponent who fell to the ground was so angry that he coughed a few times and got up, furious.

I stepped back, realizing that not far behind me was a sharp rod in the hands of the Shadow Frogmen.

"Gollum—"

My opponent rushed at all odds, and I reflexively dodged it. It's too late to stop, and the opponent is about to become the ingredient for the skewers.

"Time is over!"

Everything is still, the leaves in the wind are suspended in the air, and the frogmen around them are not moving.

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, I hugged my opponent, but I collapsed due to severe pain.

The gears of time turned, and I fell to the ground in pain, and the frogman who rolled out of my arms almost died.

"Gollum?"

The guy apparently didn't know what was going on. However, in this case, I can't fight back anymore. If the other party insists on killing me, I will replace it as an ingredient for the skewers...... I hope the Shadow Frogman doesn't eat me, and keeps a whole corpse to save me face.

"Yi Jiahe!" Ma Chao's voice.

"Burst boxing!" Hah, that's the name I gave Charlie's soul move.

In my blurred vision, I saw clumps of flame hit the Shadow Frogmen like qigong in an arcade game, knocking them back.

"Are you alright?" one of them picked me up.

Soft things, masculine tone, I didn't have much affection for her at the beginning, but at this time, I have a kind of admiration for her - my love is indeed a little casual - no, the point is, if I snatch love with a knife, Xiao Hui will destroy me.

"Leave me alone, Xiao Hui was captured by a strange thing. I said to Yu Jingjing.

"What does it look like?" asked Yu Jingjing.

"I didn't see it. It's dark, maybe it's a night ghost. ”

"This is the eighth ward of Blake Forest, not the habitat of the Night Ghost. As soon as Ma Chao squatted down, he lifted my clothes and looked at my bruises.

I slapped Ma Chao's hand away and got up, saying, "Because the other party is extremely fast, I can't see what it is." It appeared to be humanoid and pitch black...... If I'm not mistaken, I heard it muttering, like an idle old woman repeating something. ”

"Swamp Witch. ”

"Who's talking?" Ma Chao looked around.

Yu Jingjing helped me take out my wand and said, "Dean Fang?"

"I think it's the fourth-star magical creature who kidnapped Xiao Hui, the Swamp Witch. ”

"Wand, have you spoken?" Ma Chao, a classmate of the third level, how could you not know such a thing.

"Is there a witch in this world?"

"The Swamp Witch, who inhabits the swampy areas of the fourth and eighth districts of Black Forest, is a dark magical creature like the Night Ghost. Charlie said.

"Compared to the night ghosts, the swamp witch is more rational. However, despite being a dark element, swamp witches generally do not attack magicians, and many magicians even ask the swamp witch for help, and she will also help generously. ”

"The help of most magical creatures comes at a cost. Could it be ......" the wand paused.

"Could it be that someone asked the swamp witch to pay for a magician?" asked Yu Jingjing.

"The Swamp Witch doesn't like to be part of a mage's life, and won't get involved in kidnapping a mage. They respond to their needs, and they must have a corresponding price. In any case, someone must have planned to kidnap Xiao Hui. The wand said.

"What is the purpose?" Ma Chao asked.

"Dalai Crystal?" Yu Jingjing speculated.

"In the last night ghost incident, this time Yi Jia and Xiao Hui were attacked, and among the victims were Xiao Hui who held Dalai crystals. I think someone has their eye on the treasure of our college. ”

"No matter what kind of treasure it is, the most important thing now is Xiao Hui. Let's go and save him. ”

I tried my best to get up, and the pain continued.

"You'd better go back to the academy and rest. ”

"No," I said to Yu Jingjing, "I can't sit idly by. ”

"A body like yours is definitely going to hold us back. "I'm not Xiao Hui, I won't care about Yu Jingjing's bad words.

"Dean, can you use light magic to suppress my pain?"

"Not to mention that I can't use magic properly right now, even if I use light magic to suppress your pain, it won't be long before the pain returns. As Yu Jingjing said, it's better for you to go back to the academy to check it out. ”

"Absolutely not. ”

"Quack. "It's the Shadow Frogman who duel with me.

"Star three bastard, haven't you had enough of it? "Three people stood in front of me.

"Wait," said Wand, "they are no longer hostile. The kneeling shadow frogmen, like the fishmen, express their respect for the victorious brave. ”

"I see. I walked up to my former enemy and said, "You don't have to kneel and beg for mercy, you won't win anyway." ”

The frogmen seemed to understand what I was saying, and they got up. Then, it motions for the person behind to bring something.

"This, is it the Kebilak fruit?"

"What is the fruit of Kebi?" I asked Ma Chao.

"Every year on the spring solstice, the Shadow Frogmen leave the Black Forest and head to the Rosemary Garden to collect the fruit of the Kebilak tree. This fruit can help the Shadow Frogman to raise babies with excellent physique. For magicians, the fruit of Kebilak has the effect of improving physical fitness, relieving pain, and promoting wound healing. Yu Jingjing replied.

"The Kebilak tree only bears fruit in the spring, and the quantity is not very large, so the Kebilak fruit has a value that can be sold for more than a thousand sok coins. Ma Chao's eyes lit up.

"Do you want to give it to me?" I asked my opponent.

"Quack. The Shadow Frogman nodded.

"Yi Jiahe, you better go to the academy to rest, I will help you sell this fruit, and we will ...... four or six cents of the money."

After taking the fruit, I took a few bites. Seedless and tastes good.

Ma Chao knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "A thousand yuan of sok coins was swallowed by you......"

The Kebilak fruit does have a pain-relieving effect, and the effect is obvious.

Thinking about how that domineering Ma Chao could have become such a virtuous person, I thanked the Shadow Frog Human.

"The Swamp Witch has dark elemental magic. I will arrange for the students here as soon as possible and contact someone to assist you. Be careful. Fang Dongyan's voice disappeared.

Armed with the Tier 5 masters, we headed to the swamps. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Don't Forget the Blessing and Misfortune of the Past Book House" for free for the first time.
