Lyudmila finally knew why the Black Eagle was uneasy, and under the tent were several stone statues of people in different postures, all of whom looked like real people, and looked like adventurers, most of them holding swords in their hands, and making a posture of fighting hard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After years of erosion, the facial details of the stone statues have been somewhat blurred, but the frightened and desperate look is still vivid to this day, and people feel cold in their hearts.

"These stone statues are so exquisite, they look like real people." Nikita exclaimed.

Bloom stared at the stone sculpture for a long time, then suddenly shuddered, his face showed a look of shock, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Moradin is above!" When it comes to stone carving, no one is better at it than us dwarves! Unfortunately, these stone statues abandoned in the wilderness are by no means the work of stonemasons, do you think they look lifelike? That's because they were living before they were turned into stone statues! ”

Nikita's face couldn't help but change: "Turning living people into stone statues, is there an evil wizard living in seclusion around here?" ”

"It's also possible that some kind of monster is good at petrifying supernatural abilities." Roland struggled to open another tent, and as he expected, more humanoid stone sculptures in different postures were exposed, "Look at the appearance of these statues, they were attacked on the way to camp and tried to resist, but this did not change their fate, most of them were turned into stone statues in just a few minutes, so even the fastest one had no chance to escape from the camp, which shows that there are far more than one or two enemies attacking them, and most of the wizards who live in seclusion in the wilderness are alone." ”

Veronica walked up to a stone statue and looked at it curiously, and the painful look of the other party made her eyes look unbearable: "Is there any hope for these poor people to be resurrected?" ”

"After too much time, their bodies are visibly weathered, and even if they are depetrified, they will die quickly." Nikita sighed and shook her head slightly: "What's more, 'Depetrification' is a high-level spell, and I haven't been able to master it yet, and I don't carry this kind of scroll yet." ”

At some point, the bright sun disappeared, a dark cloud covered the sky, and a strong wind blew from the swamp, carrying a wet damp air, which made people feel more and more depressed and restless.

Roland glanced up at the gloomy sky, and said in a deep voice: "The wind and rain are coming, we had better leave this ghost place as soon as possible......"

As soon as he finished speaking, another gust of wind howled, blowing the tent hunting, and a large canvas in the distance was lifted by the wind, as if something was looming under the tent, and there was a gurgling whisper in the wind, which immediately attracted Roland's attention.

He grasped the hilt of his sword in his backhand and walked lightly against the wind, his eyes piercing the dim sky to the corner of the tent that had been torn open by the wind......

A fiery red cockscomb emerged from the tent, trembling, and then stretched out a head, somewhat like a rooster, but larger, and surprisingly hideous, with a hard, large beak full of serrated teeth, obviously a hunting weapon, and scarlet eyes glared at him viciously, and spat out a forked serpent letter.

It twisted its body, stretched out a pair of membranous wings that resembled dragon wings, and struggled to leap out of the tent, completely exposed to the crowd, its bare body without bird feathers, its skin as rough as that of a lizard, covered with small, brightly colored particles, and a writhing snake tail trailing behind it.

Roland couldn't help but inhale secretly. From Earth's point of view, this half-chicken, half-snake monster symbolizes a divergent path in the evolution of reptiles into birds; In the world of Vares, this monster has a chilling name, "Snake Cockmon".

Giggles! The snake and chicken beast suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the air, and swooped straight towards Roland.

Boom! Roland decisively pulled out Durandal. A cold silver glow flashed from the dim sky, splitting the snake, chicken, and beast that flew in half, and blood dripped down the blade of the sword.

A pungent fishy smell spread with the wind, alarming the same kind of snakes, chickens, and beasts. The seemingly peaceful camp suddenly became in a commotion, and the dirty and dilapidated tents were overturned one after another, and snakes, chickens, and beasts came out in groups, numbering more than twenty, obviously a large family entrenched here.

"I'm in trouble!" Lyudmila's mouth was bitter, and she couldn't help but regret that she hadn't listened to the advice of the little squirrel, because curiosity had caused trouble. The movement of his hand was not slow at all, and he drew his bow and arrow like lightning, shooting down a snake and chicken beast that tried to fly over.

Bloom also threw a war hammer to stop the snake and chicken beast from approaching, and hurriedly turned back to Roland, "There are too many strange birds, what should we do?" ”

Roland didn't care to reply, clenched the emblem and recited the prayer, waved his hand and sprinkled silver powder, and blessed Bloom and Lyudmila in time to "protect against evil", and then spoke: "The most terrifying weapon of the snake and chicken beast is a mysterious supernatural force, and if the creature that is bitten and injured by them is not strong enough, it will turn into a stone statue in a short time!" ”

Bloom couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard his warning: "No wonder there are so many stone statues here, it turns out that they are all caused by snakes, chickens and beasts!" ”

"Don't worry, you and Mira have excellent physiques, and after blessing to protect against evil, you can ensure that they are not affected by the petrification skills of the snake and chicken beasts, and without this threat, their combat power is not as good as Mira's black eagle." Roland said calmly.

His words were not a fool to calm the morale of the army, in fact, the petrification bite of the snake chicken beast has a definite exemption difficulty (DC), as long as the tenacity test exceeds this difficulty value, it will not be petrified.

With the help of the Pupil of Fate, it is not difficult for Roland to see the level of the snake chicken beast, and then speculate that their petrified DC is about 12. Lyudmila and Bloom are not bad for their own tenacity immunity, and the blessing of the protection against evil with an additional +2 immunity resistance can ensure that the minimum tenacity check is also above 12, just rush into the flock and kill the special kill.

Roland's own Tenacity Immunity is even more ridiculously high, and he can safely pass the Petrification Exemption without the need for a protective spell.

As for Veronica and Nikita, the situation is more dangerous, the ninja and mage's tenacity immunity growth is very bad, and their physique is not enough to defy the sky, even if they are blessed with protective spells, they are not guaranteed to be immune to petrification. Roland simply waved his hand at the two of them, urging them to hide quickly and not directly intervene in the battle, in case they were petrified, it would be difficult to recover.

Nikita also knew that the situation was very unfavorable to her, so she immediately cast a spell to release the "Hidden Mist Technique", hiding herself and Veronica in the thick fog, obscuring the vision of the chicken, snake, and beast, and felt much safer.

But no sooner had she breathed a sigh of relief than the unexpected happened again—a gust of wind howled, blowing away the fog she had been sheltering in.

Nikita's eyes suddenly straightened, and she muttered, "Isn't that unlucky?!" ”

Veronica noticed that a large group of snakes, chickens, and beasts were flying towards her, and hurriedly pulled her, and said eagerly: "Don't stand stupidly, run away!" ”

"But...... Roland, what do they do? Nikita was still hesitating.

"They are not afraid of snakes, chickens and beasts at all, they are afraid that we will drag our feet! Let's run to a safe place, and they can kill the chickens with their hands and feet! As she spoke, Veronica turned and plunged into a dense woodland.

Nikita couldn't think of anything else to do, so she fled with her into the woods.

A group of snakes, chickens, and beasts let out angry cries one after another, and chased after them.
