Chapter 102: Prelude
In the midst of the Ferro Forest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The group moved on, and in front of their eyes, piles of bones filled the silent forest.
Click-
"What is this?" A mercenary lifted his foot.
At his feet was a huge gray-white dry bone, covered with dense cracks, which, after stepping on the foot just now, seemed to fall apart at the slightest touch.
And the mercenary forced.
Click!
The grayish-white dry bones of the thigh bones turned into a pile of broken bones.
"Huh? This is? ”
A mage glanced at him and let out a puzzled voice.
On top of the pile of gray-white fragments of bones, the red-robed mage found filaments like blood vessels, and if anything, they were color.
Dark green filaments.
"What is this?"
The mage looked down in confusion, looking at the strange dark green filaments in the pile of bone fragments.
"If I were you, I'd stay away from it immediately!"
At this time, a slightly green voice sounded behind him, and the warning in the voice was very obvious.
"What's wrong?"
"Just to be careful of those bones, there's something in them!" Looking at the frowning mage, Phila didn't say much, and quickly retreated a distance.
"Huh?" The mage was a little confused.
However, just as he was about to leave, several pieces flew up from the pile of dry bones and shot straight at the mage.
"Ah!!h
The mage screamed, and the dark green filaments instantly flew out of the bone fragments, densely tied to the mage's body.
But he also reacted immediately and responded.
Flame Shield!
At the same time as the incantation sounded, an orange-red flame shield emerged from his body, directly cutting off the dark green filaments from his palm.
Fire Resistance!
Another spell took effect on him.
Greatly increased his fire resistance.
Then he quickly shook his hand, used the scorching flame to clean his palm, and retreated sharply.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
At this moment, from the original pile of broken bone fragments, more dark green filaments suddenly appeared, and the gray-white bones were pierced by the dark green filaments through countless tiny holes, and these strange things seemed to be hiding inside the bones.
And in this instant, countless dark green filaments appeared, and then entangled and surrounded like tree roots, and immediately, they combined into a monster.
It's almost the same as the whiskered monster just now.
Only the color is slightly different, a dark green.
Otherwise it was almost exactly the same as the original monster, the thickness of an adult's thighs, very strong, and on top of that, there were some bulges and depressions, forming eyes and mouths.
The way it wafts actively, it makes people feel weird.
Upon its appearance, the whiskered monster immediately attacked.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
The speed of the monster was extremely fast, and before the red-robed mage and the others could react, it had already disappeared into its original position.
All that left a dark green trail and an empty crypt left in everyone's eyes.
"Chase! This monster definitely has something to do with the Withered Forest! The mage covered in red robes said indignantly, it seemed that the monster's attack just now made him very resentful.
And the middle-aged mage saw all this, and directly whispered a few words in the ear of the city lord of Andak.
"Catch up!"
The city lord of Andek immediately gave instructions.
The mercenaries glanced at each other, raised their weapons one after another, and headed in the direction pointed by the red-robed mage.
The middle-aged mage, although his combat power did not seem to be very good, the gesture of following Andek's side since he walked out of Ferro already said something.
However, the other party did not completely abandon the attainment of spells.
It should be more proficient in illusion spells such as tracking and hiding traces, and it is still good in terms of detection ability.
Fira watched the middle-aged mage's movements on the side, and with a narrowing of her eyes, she judged such a situation.
"Kuwaiti mage, what about you?"
The other mages did not immediately follow the instructions of the Lord of Kuwait, and for them, a nobleman was indeed not qualified to support them.
Only a mage as close to legend as Old Kuwait had enough prestige to be able to make them accept some "offers".
And old Kuwait doesn't know why there is some silence.
After hearing the mage's words, after a while, he said to the crowd:
"It's far better to move forward than backwards."
"That! Keep up! ”
With another order from the city lord of Andek, the members of the lawless mercenaries immediately followed, while Andek advanced in the center of the guard's protective position, and the other mages marched into the back in different positions.
The remaining hesitant mages glanced at each other, and after seeing that Old Kuwait was also moving forward, they followed helplessly.
When Fira heard this, she blinked silently, then picked up little Naria who was holding his arm, looked at her, and headed in the direction of the others.
And on the way forward, Old Kuwait deliberately controlled his speed and put himself and Fira in parallel:
"Fira, do you have any judgment on that thing from before?"
"Obviously, this is the offspring of some kind of monster! And it's a font that reproduces in a 'parasitic' state, and according to the strength of the offspring just now, if there is a mother, then at least it has the strength of the upper middle level, and even ......"
Fira didn't go on, but old Kuwait understood what he meant.
"Can it be that strong? But you can't go back......."
Old Kuwait smiled wryly.
For a mage like him, who is close to the legend, such an expression is rarely seen, and at the beginning, his mentality is also excellent, he doesn't think that this team will be in any danger at all, and a few spells can solve this matter.
But now, even if he handed over all his spells, he wouldn't necessarily be able to solve the problem.
"Nearly 100 ......"
Old Kuwait whispered with an ugly face.
"It's not over yet!" Fira looked at him and shook her head.
Of course, Fira knew what the other party's "hundred" meant, and at the same time as he killed the pitch-black tree-whiskered monster, he also found that nearly a hundred similar auras had appeared around them, in the direction they came.
Moreover, the intensity varies.
Although the strength of the slain monster was good, it was only the strength of the middle peak at most, otherwise, it would not be possible for Fira's elemental riot attack to kill the opponent immediately.
And in such a situation of being surrounded by hundreds of monsters, the first choice must not be to escape.
Otherwise, there will only be one result, which will be set on fire by nearly a hundred Treebeard Monsters and become a parasitic nutrient tank for the offspring of the new Treebeard Monsters.
"Unexpectedly, it was supposed to be just a commission for an investigation...... I chose it myself, and I would be involved in such a thing......."
Even old Kuwait can't help but regret it a little.
"Yes, yes, this shouldn't be a commission for such a number of people, and our luck is indeed not very good......" Fira agreed, no one knew what he was thinking.
Listening to Fira's words, old Kuwait was also glad in his heart, at least he didn't come alone.
"At the very least, there's a lot more to be taken advantage of."
With this in mind, his gaze swept to the crowd around him, who were unaware of the crisis.
However, on the surface, he still looks kind.
"Be careful, old man, we seem to be getting deeper and deeper, you can feel it, right? The breath of irritable magic in the air. ”
Fira whispered, a hint of worry on her face.
"Indeed, the amount of this magic power is ......"
For the aura of riot magic that the teenager next to him said, Old Kuwait, who has a talent for sensitivity to magic, feels very obviously.
This accompanied his sharp perception for nearly two hundred years, and he clearly felt the chaos that permeated his surroundings, the chaos that carried with his magic.
Moreover, it is a hedging mess.
Just like the conflict between the light element and the dark element, in Old Kuwait's perception, the riot of magical power around it was like a hedging element bursting.
Even other mages felt a little bit of this situation.
The people around him didn't pay attention at all, but the young Fira and the young Naria were faintly integrated into the environment, like a feeling of being at home in water.
Fila straightened Narya's clothes and covered the other smile that appeared at the corner of her mouth with a gentle smile.
Bang dang!
At that moment, there was a sound of metal clinging, and the whole team suddenly stopped.
"There was a !! That green monster! One of the mercenaries shouted, "I just saw it come out of here, and after a pause, it disappeared again!! ”
Once again, the city lord of Andek raised his long sword in a vigilant posture and shouted, "All on alert!" ”
The lawless mercenaries, who vaguely revealed the posture of the army, immediately formed a formation and formed a circle back to back, guarding the city lord of Andek and the other mages in the center, preparing to guard against a sudden attack from the shadows.
"This should be the heartland of the Blight Event!" Fira touched her chin and suddenly spoke.
"Why .......," a young mage said with some confusion.
However, before his questioning words could be finished, Old Kuwait's voice rang out.
"Stay on guard." Old Kuwait's face was solemn, "This is perhaps the most memorable battle you have ever faced. ”
"Of course, there is another possibility, which is that you don't have a chance to continue living."
Fira, who was on the side, said something else with a sneer.
Both were ready to cast spells.
