53. The abyss under the feet
Phyllis waved her staff and chanted an obscure incantation, the dark yellow light of the tip of the staff slowly flowing.
Suddenly, there were several loud noises in the distance, and I hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see that where the giant crab was standing, several tall and sharp stone thorns rose from the ground and pierced the crab's abdomen.
However, the skin of this crab made of ice crystals is extremely hard, and the stone thorns that suddenly burst out of the ground did not cause any damage to it, but the stone thorns were very high, and this crab was not aware for a while, and its whole body was several meters higher than these ground thorns, and its eight feet rose from the ground, and it actually turned over and fell off the cliff.
Seeing this scene, all of us were stunned, including Phyllis, the initiator of all this, who was stunned, obviously even she didn't expect that this dead horse as a live horse doctor's magic would really solve this huge trouble?
The cold wind was blowing, and after a long time, Xiao Nan took the lead in breaking the peace: "Kitten, is that crab hanging?" ”
I glanced a little over the edge of the cliff, but I didn't dare look too far away because of my fear of heights.
"Even if you're not dead, you're probably half-disabled."
On both sides there is a steep cliff with an inclination angle of nearly 90 degrees, and it is 4,000 meters above the ground, and I want to fall on such a steep cliff, let alone a crab made of ice crystals, even an iron crab can't bear it.
I looked at the abyss beside me, panicked in my heart, hurriedly retracted my neck, and asked, "Eh, Miss, do you know what this monster is?" ”
"I don't know, I've never seen anything so strange."
"That's right......" I turned my head and asked, "Brother Niu, you are well-informed, do you know each other?" ”
Niu Kelian thought carefully for a while, and then shook his head.
Xiao Nan timidly tugged at my sleeve and said, "Hey, kitten, will this big crab have a wife and son or something?" Otherwise, let's hurry up, and later its relatives will come to seek revenge, and then we will be miserable. ”
I glared at her, raised my hand, and made a gesture to knock, "Can you hope for something good?" ”
Xiao Nan hurriedly shrunk her neck and hid to the side and grimaced at me.
Niu Kelian smiled and waved his hand: "What my brother and sister said is not unreasonable, let's get out of here quickly." ”
I automatically ignored the title in his words, this hellish place is very evil, no one wants to stay longer, at the suggestion of Niu Kelian, we went back the same way together.
However, we had just taken a few steps forward, but Niu Kelian, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and I almost hit him without reacting in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
Niu Kelian didn't answer my question, but quickly drew his shield and single knife from his back, and made a fighting stance on the side of the cliff.
The action was frighteningly fast, and I was stunned for a moment, and of course what happened next made me even more confused.
With almost no warning and no movement, the giant crab that had fallen off the cliff suddenly flipped up from the side of the cliff and swooped down on us without saying a word.
Niu Kelian had activated the shield, and at the moment when the crab's huge body was about to hit us, the translucent barrier blocked us almost at the same time, but our reaction was always half a beat slower, the barrier didn't work, and all of us were knocked into the air by the crab and flew towards the cliff on the other side.
The violent impact smashed my head to pieces, and the blood in my whole body was completely boiling at this moment, and instantly flowed into the frozen and stiff meridians, and I felt like my body was about to explode, and I was uncomfortable.
My body is like a kite with a broken string, flipped half a circle in the air, flying along the parabola into the distance, I clearly saw the vast sea of clouds under the cliff, I even saw the blurred vast earth through the clouds, I already felt the centrifugal force that firmly grasped my body, I never knew that death was so close to me, and the fear caused by death made me subconsciously close my eyes.
Mountaineering enthusiasts, climbing the peak, claiming to have conquered the peak, are like a little ant standing on the back of an elephant, claiming to have conquered the elephant, whether it is for mountaineering enthusiasts, or small ants, they have different concepts of conquest, at least for them, they have indeed fulfilled their standard of 'conquest'.
But they have forgotten one thing, the goal they are 'conquering' is not an existence that they can control.
I've seen the combat effectiveness of this team with my own eyes all the way, no matter how powerful this giant crab is, if it is placed on the open flat ground, it may not pose any threat to us, but we have encountered such an opponent in the worst environment.
At this moment, I almost lost all consciousness, and could only feel the cold wind whistling in my ears.
"Am I going to die?"
This feeling continued for a long time, until there was a heavy thump in my back.
Under the stimulation of this impact, the qi and blood in my whole body continued to surge, and I only felt that my ears were buzzing, as if someone was whispering under the cover of this buzzing.
"Brother Cat, are you alright? Miss? Siblings? Blue ......"
It turned out to be Niu Kelian's voice.
I endured my almost falling body and sat up on the ground.
"I'm not dead yet, am I?"
Niu Kelian snorted: "Bah, what is immortal, how unlucky, you open your eyes and see, let's live well." ”
I was stunned for a moment before I was stunned and said, "Isn't it?" Fell from a 4,000-meter peak and didn't fall to your death? ”
I subconsciously looked up, and we were only a dozen meters away from the peak.
I touched the ground suspiciously, and with the firm touch coming from under my hand, my doubts deepened.
This is a dangerous peak, but also a lonely peak, there are only steep cliffs on both sides, there is nothing to rely on, how can we only fall more than ten meters? And when did my life become so hard? Fell to the ground from a height of more than ten meters, what happened?
I looked down and almost scared me to death.
Underneath me, there was a translucent barrier, which was Niu Kelian's activated shield.
It turned out that he was in a critical situation, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he actually embedded the shield on the cliff wall alive. Hidden by this translucent barrier, I could clearly see the clouds churning beneath my feet.
With the help of this shield, we will not be smashed into meatloaf.
At this time, the others also came back to their senses, and when they saw the scene under their feet, they naturally understood what had just happened, and they couldn't help but shout luck.
At this point, the shield was full of cracks, and the barrier that held us was already in jeopardy, and Phyllis hurriedly used her magic to summon a stone wall from the rock wall to replace the shield.
Sitting on the stone wall with no abyss in sight, I felt a little at ease.
Phyllis asked, "What do we do now?" ”
I pondered for a while, and said, "Otherwise, Miss, you will summon the stone wall all the way as a staircase, and we will go down the mountain from here?" ”
Phyllis looked at me with a smile and popped out four words: "Magic is not enough." ”
"Why don't you go up and fight that invulnerable big guy?"
Everyone fell silent.
I shook my head in annoyance and said, "It seems that there are only two ways to do it. ”
Everyone asked in unison, "What?" ”
I stretched out a finger and said, "First, let's go up first, look for an opportunity to break through the blockade of the big crab, and wait for the opportunity to sneak into the hole." ”
"What about the second one?"
"The second ......" I hesitated for a moment and shook my head: "Forget the second one, it is estimated that it is a dead end." ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "Say! ”
I was shocked by this sound and my eardrums hurt, and I smiled bitterly: "Enter the magic tower and go to the teacher." ”
