Act 161 Atomization
Scene 161 Atomization
The closing of the wall in the clouds indicates that the magic is flowing back, and the effects of the great tides are becoming more and more apparent. Brando raised his head and looked at the Sage Hydra who occupied half of the sky in the mountains, and his breath was a little difficult to hold for a while.
Even if it's a projection, but this thing is at least over a hundred levels.
Neither he nor Ortales spoke, both thinking about how to get through the difficult time in front of them. Brando looked around and saw a huge rock not far away, and his heart felt slightly settled, and he began to think about how likely it was to hide from the Sage Hydra's sight behind it.
He took a gentle breath to regulate his breathing, and his heart cheered himself up: it was not uncommon to be more dangerous than this in the past, and there was no reason to be afraid of it because there was only one chance.
Like the raid on Fort Niruliše in Madara, and later the War of the Dragon's Lair.
As long as every step was perfect, Brando reflected on his past experiences and felt his confidence return to his body - the adventurous element that flowed through Sophie's blood began to burn.
He took another breath, reached out and grabbed the roots of the tree outside, trying to creep out of the hollow; Under the cover of the cascading canopy, he could only hope that this would avoid the sight of the great monster, and Brando was clinging to the ground and ready to crawl out little by little along the roots of the tree.
"Little one?" Ottales was stunned, she didn't expect Brando to be so bold.
"Hiding here is not an option, that thing will not leave for a while, it seems to have noticed something," Brando said in his heart, "I suspect that neither the Grey Sword Saint nor Veronica are dead." ”
"What are you going to do?" Although it was in her heart, but under the influence of her surroundings, Ortales unconsciously lowered her voice.
"Go behind that rock first, and then see if you can leave this place with the help of the environment, as long as you leave for three or four miles, the Sage Hydra should not be enough to see the movement under the forest."
That's a long distance, and you're so sure? - Ortales looked at Brando, but didn't ask. For she knew that since Brando had made up her mind, she must have such determination, and she could see it in the flash of adventure that burned in the young lord's eyes.
This kind of Brando is outside of Otares's cognition, but it is much more pleasing to her than the steady and rational Brando.
Without saying a word, Brando cautiously climbed out of the tree hole. He lay on the ground like a lizard in the mud, and he didn't even dare to take an extra breath of air, and sometimes he even had a feeling like he was on his back.
Although the weather was obviously cold and dry, sweat could not stop sliding down his forehead.
It took Brando several minutes to climb from the inside of the tree hole to the outside, and then nearly a minute to turn his head. After doing this, he remained motionless and held his posture, feeling his heart beating vigorously in the hollow, beat after beat, clanging.
Brando waited for about half a minute, but the Sage Hydra standing in the valley didn't seem to notice this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out to Akane under the tree hole:
"Come up, Akane."
Akane stood in the hollow of the tree below, not knowing what was happening above, and could only wait anxiously for news from Brando. She looked up and saw Brando's hand reaching out to her, and she was slightly stunned before putting her hand in Brando's hand.
"Akane, no matter what you see, you can't make a sound for a while." Brando grabbed Akane's hand and sternly reminded him that he could trust the red-haired girl, but everything had to be done just in case.
Akane nodded vigorously.
Then Brando pulled her up from under the hollow of the tree, and sure enough, the girl was taken aback at the terrible figure of the Sage Hydra between the mountains, but she did not make a sound as promised.
Brando gave her a thumbs up as a token of appreciation.
But that's just the beginning of success.
Then he led Akane carefully out of the hollow of the tree, and with the help of the root system crisscrossing between the tall trees, he approached the rock little by little, and the distance from the tree hole to the rock was only twenty-three meters, the distance that used to be only a blink of an eye for them, but now it seemed like a long century had passed.
The Sage Hydra stood in the valley, it slowly turned, its huge tail sweeping over the heads of the two of them from above the forest more than once, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
The figures of the two of them melted into the shadow of yīn behind the huge rock one after the other, and there was almost a feeling of detachment from their whole body, and Akane was okay, and Brando felt that his back was almost soaked with sweat.
He let out a long breath and began to think about what to do next, his gaze beyond the shadows of a tree, but fortunately there was not much open area in the Black Forest.
He was thinking about the side of the ridge to the north, where he could get into the valley on the other side, it would be enough to avoid the Sage Hydra's gaze.
The distance is less than two miles, half less than originally expected.
There was some trouble in the middle, though, as they had to cross a small stream that crossed the valley, and if there were not enough bushes on the banks of the stream to provide shelter for the two of them, the operation would become very dangerous.
But he weighed the gains and losses in his heart, and decided to do just that, being indecisive on the battlefield is not a good habit. A good fighter must first have faith in himself - if he can't even believe that he can do it, then he probably can't do it.
And Brando happens to be the best among the player fighters.
He and Akane rested behind the rocks for about a minute, as the Sage Hydra slowly made its way down the valley, as if searching for something, fifteen heads dangling in the air.
The two of them didn't dare to make a sound, and Brando silently counted fifty seconds before gesturing to the red-haired girl beside him, and then the two rushed out like lightning.
They rose and fell under the shadow of a huge oak tree, holding their breath, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
But the Sage Hydra still didn't pay attention to this side, the white mountain had advanced halfway through the valley, its movements seemed clumsy and slow, but Brando knew that it was actually an illusion.
-- If you can walk hundreds of meters in one step, you will know that slowness is just a relative word.
Brando's next target is a hornbeam forest by the river, and the dense foliage of the lofage of the lofage is the best cover for hunters in the mountains, and for them is no exception.
They walked silently along the woodland to the river, where Akane accidentally stepped on a dead branch, and the two of them felt as if they had been struck by lightning when there was a crisp 'crackling' sound.
But luckily, luck was on their side this time, and the Sage Hydra seemed to have noticed something on the other side of the valley, and it raised its fifteen heads and roared in unison, and then slowly turned that way.
The cloud-like tail of the white sè swept over the forest once again.
Is it Veronica or Mephistopheles? Brando didn't know, but at this time he could only wish the other good luck, and at the same time he seized the opportunity to rush forward, Akane followed, and the two of them quickly crossed the edge of the woods over the thick of the artemisia grass, which continued to the bare pebbles near the valley.
The stream was almost dozens of feet away, and both of them were a little out of breath, although they had run for no more than a mile at most, and they shouldn't feel tired at all in terms of their bodies, but the high level of tension made their bodies expel faster, and both of them felt a little overwhelmed.
Brando glanced back as he ran to the edge of the valley, and at this moment they were almost exactly exactly the valley in a straight line from the hill-like Sage Hydra—that is, two or three thousand meters.
It sounds far away, but it's only a few steps for this mythical creature, and the tail of this behemoth is probably nearly a kilometer long.
It couldn't be fought at all, and in Brando's memory, it was probably comparable to an evil dragon with a lair that was hundreds of miles in diameter alone.
He patted his face, recovering from the terrible hunting experience known as the Dragon's Lair War. The Sage Hydra was attacking a certain staker on the other side of the valley, its fifteen massive heads piercing through the clouds, occasionally swooping down on targets a kilometer below.
This made Brando a little strange, Veronica and Mephistopheles couldn't have run that far in an instant - someone else?
With this suspicion, he turned back and parted the grass, and was about to stride out, but it was at this moment that Brando suddenly felt a strong force coming from his left, and he felt his shoulder tighten—he immediately realized that there were other people in the grass, but this reaction was a little slower, and the force had already grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.
"Lord Lord" Akane was startled when she saw a hand stretched out from the grass and instantly pulled Brando in, and subconsciously pulled out the short sword on her boots.
But she immediately saw a familiar face.
Veronica grabbed Brando with one hand and held her sword in front of Akane's xiōng with the other.
"Lady Veronica?" Brando's first surprise when he saw the man who had captured him - he hadn't forgotten that he had lost three important people in the Cruz Empire, and he knew better than anyone that at least two of those three young masters had been killed by the withered lord.
"Shhhh
Brando was stunned at first, but suddenly realized something. He looked up and followed Veronica's gaze, and sure enough, he saw that although the Sage Hydra was attacking the target on the other side of the valley, the mist on its body was spreading, gradually enveloping the entire forest.
atomization
Brando was taken aback, he had thought that the clouds were just a way to projection the Ancestral Beast, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.
Veronica's reminder made him realize that it might not be an ancestral beast at all, but the fog itself between the valleys.
That's what the druids came across.
Brando immediately thought of this.
He lowered his head to look at Veronica, knowing in his heart that this woman had saved his life, and if the mist itself was part of the Sage Hydra, then the entire valley should be under the watchful eye of the other party at this time.
As soon as he leaves the wooded area, he will be immediately caught by the other party.
But why did Veronica save him?
