Chapter 42: Born with a mocking face
It was late in the evening when they carved a bloody path through the woods to the plains. The team camped outside the woods for the time being, and each set up his tent.
It was getting dark. The bonfire was lit, Lan Wu ate the last bit of bread, patted off the crumbs on his hands, and looked up at Avila and the others: "Rest quickly when you are full." Tomorrow will be the real test. ”
"I'll keep vigil tonight." Avila looked at Lan Wu seriously and reminded respectfully and firmly, "Lord Divine Benefactor has done a lot for us today. Now it's up to me to protect you. ”
"Yes, if it was only the help of the Divine Benefactor, then there would be no need for us to exist." Xiya also looked at Lan Wu with a serious face.
"We can keep vigils in batches. The Divine Benefactor must rest. Fuya uncharacteristically did not repeat Xiya's words, and looked at Lan Wu seriously.
Lan Wu opened his mouth, not wanting to see Flora looking eager to open his mouth again, and immediately raised his hand in surrender: "Then I'll go and rest." ”
As Lan Wu got into the tent, Avila and the others quickly arranged the order of night duty. Avila took Erin and Flora on duty for the first half of the night. The Thea sisters are in charge of security in the second half of the night.
The demonic creatures near the woods have been cleared. There were no demonic creatures to disturb in the first half of the night. As if they had forgotten about the team, the Ravens were still nowhere to be seen.
In the second half of the night, Sister Thea took over the guards. But it soon ran into trouble.
It's a red, dirty demon of destruction. It seems to have lost its way and wandered alone on the plains. Seeing that there was a firelight here, it somehow touched it in the night.
After all, the Xiya sisters are also senior professionals. They immediately spotted this sinking demon that had already reached more than a hundred meters close. The two just made eye contact, and they quickly reached a consensus.
Kill, but not wake up the Divine Grace.
They watched the battle during the day. The Benefactor's life is at risk, creating a great opportunity for the team to take down countless demonic creatures. This kind of consumption, even if the self-recovery ability of a professional is several times stronger than that of ordinary civilians, it is not easy to do. Moreover, the benefactor has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights.
Thea gave Fuya a look, then picked up her staff and faced the Fallen Demon. Fuya gets Thea's prompt and cautiously walks to Avila's tent and wakes her up.
Upon learning that a demon of destruction had come to her during the night, Avila realized the seriousness of the matter. Now it's in the plains. The strength of the demonic creature has increased by at least ten times compared to before, almost equal to the guardian of Andariel, or even stronger. It would be an absolute disaster to be broken into this makeshift camp by such a high-level demon.
Fortunately, there is only one Demon of Perdition.
Avila pulled her javelin out of her space bag and slipped out of the tent. She followed Fuya to find Thea. At this time, Thea was already preparing to unleash the Ice Storm, striving to freeze the Sinking Demon with a single blow.
The Sinking Demon didn't seem to know that he was being targeted by three professionals. It carried a small blade, muttered something it didn't know, and tiptoed closer to the tents.
Immediately after, a basin-sized ball of ice flew out of the darkness and smashed right in the face of the Fallen Demon, splashing countless pieces of ice. In an instant, the Sinking Demon turned blue, emitting a faint blue light in the darkness.
Although the blue light is not obvious, it has become a beacon in the dark environment. Avila rushed forward and immediately launched a powerful blow.
The javelin stabbed into the body of the Fallen Demon with a white electric light. The powerful current made its body tremble. At the same time, a thick bolt of lightning followed, once again infusing it with a powerful electric current.
Suddenly hit by two electric attacks, the blue and white light on the Sinking Demon jumped up and down. Avila took the opportunity to open up another stab. The javelin struck it five times in quick succession.
The Sinking Demon was struck one after another, and suddenly like a frightened mouse, it turned around and ran. That speed hit the three of Avila.
The combined attack that the three of them used to completely lose effect on this sinking demon that could be killed in seconds with just one move. After a series of attacks, this sinking demon was still alive and well. The two little short legs danced like hot wheels, and escaped ten meters away in the blink of an eye.
The three were silent.
After a long time, Avila whispered in frustration: "Stop chasing. ”
The Xiya sisters also nodded wordlessly, with indescribable sadness in their hearts. Once upon a time, the combined attack of the three of them could not deal with a small sinking demon. This psychological blow is too great.
As soon as they turned around, they saw Lan Wu squatting on a stump of a tree staring intently. The three of them suddenly blushed, and they felt indescribable embarrassment in their hearts.
"Shh Lan Wu raised his index finger in front of his lips, made a silent gesture, and then reminded in a low voice, "That Sinking Demon seems to be a little wrong. ”
Avila's hearts tightened, and they hurriedly turned to look. Sure enough, although the Sinking Demon fled ten meters away, it still did not immediately flee to a distance, but stopped and turned around again.
After being on guard for a long time, the three of them did not notice that the Sinking Demon continued to approach, but there was no sign of leaving. They were at a loss in their hearts, and they all turned their heads to look at Lan Wu. After a day's fighting, they had developed a sense of dependence on Lan Wu. After all, they had never killed countless Dark Hunters, Dark Huntresses, and Giant Beasts so easily.
"Don't look at me, I don't know." Lan Wu spread his hands helplessly. He was also curious. This sinking demon did not advance or retreat, but stood ten meters away and muttered without knowing what it was muttering.
After thinking about it, Lan Wu summoned three skeletons and tentatively stepped forward to approach the sinking demon. The latter is no different from other Sinking Demons. The big loss it suffered before has caused a great shadow in its heart. As soon as it saw the three skeletons approaching, it immediately turned around and ran.
At this moment, the Sinking Demon suddenly seemed to have fallen under some kind of magic and stopped again. Lan Wu was curious, and was about to drive the three skeletons forward to test it. Unexpectedly, the Sinking Demon suddenly picked up the small blade and rushed over with a scream.
It was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the three skeletons. But before the three skeletons could pick up the scythe, it suddenly became short and scurried between the skeleton's legs.
"Do it." With a solemn expression, Avila took the lead in grabbing her javelin and stepping forward. The javelin was entangled with electricity, and the powerful blow was shot again. I don't want this thorn to be stabbed.
"Be careful." Thea hurriedly reminded him, and at the same time sent out an ice bomb with the fastest casting speed, just to be able to slow down the sinking demon for a moment and give Avila a chance to retract.
The Sinking Demon didn't have the heart to give Avila a heavy split. It quickly dodged Avila's powerful blow, and suddenly lowered itself, using its hands and feet together, seemingly very embarrassed to dodge the oncoming ice bullets, and pounced straight at it.
When Fuya saw it, she was anxious. With a finger of the staff in his hand, thick lightning bolts shot out from the tip of the staff. As the fastest electro-based magic, lightning struck the eerie Sinking Demon almost in the blink of an eye.
A powerful electric current breaks the words wildly in the body of the Sinking Demon. Its entire body flashed with a miserable white electric light, and it was obviously electrocuted. But to the horror of Avila and the others, it seemed to forget the pain, and staggered and still pounced on it.
The two sisters were frightened. A mage who is close to a demonic creature, even if it is just a sinking demon, is a headache. They hurriedly wanted to smash their skills to force back this sinking demon, not wanting a huge figure to suddenly stand in front of them.
"Pick me up." Lan Wu started the bearman transformation at this time and met the sinking demon.
When the Sinking Demon saw the bear man that Lan Wu had transformed into, his eyes suddenly burst out with blood-red light, and he picked up the small blade and pounced, with no intention of dodging at all.
Lan Wu's expression was strange, and he slapped it away and slapped it heavily on the head of the Sinking Demon. The heavy blow smashed the Demon of Destruction to the ground. But at the same time, the small blade in its hand also slashed hard at Lan Wu's thigh.
Lose both...... Or that Lan Wu suffered a greater loss.
"It does more damage than a giant beast." Lan Wu's expression was solemn, he put away his other thoughts, and immediately poured a bottle of light healing potion into his mouth.
The Sinking Demon had hurt more than he had ever imagined. Just a single knife made him feel a burst of weakness in his body, and it was obvious that his life had dropped by at least half.
Alerted by Lan Wu, Avila and the three skeletons quickly surrounded the Sinking Demon. Various skills smashed on its body one after another. The faint blue light of the ice skill, the miserable white electric light of the electric skill flashed on it.
Fighting and fighting, the three of Avila had strange expressions. This Sinking Demon seemed to have completely recognized Lan Wu. No matter whose attack landed on it, it still stubbornly picked up its small blade and slashed at Lan Wu.
Lan Wu also discovered this strange situation. He fought and retreated quietly. Sure enough, as if he owed the demon a lot of money, he still became its only target.
"Am I so sarcastic?" Lan Wu's expression was strange, and he couldn't cry or laugh. In the woods, you had to take the initiative to provoke demonic creatures like the Dark Hunters with less brilliant minds. It's good now, don't deliberately attract blame, blame yourself and come to the door.
But this situation is exactly what he wants. To be able to attract the hatred of this Sinking Demon is to create a great opportunity for Avila and them to make a move.
It took more than ten minutes, and the three of Avila and the three skeletons finally killed this strange Sinking Demon. They had just breathed a sigh of relief, but they were shocked to find Lan Wu walking up to the corpse, squeezing its hand and placing it on top of the book of identification.
"Benefactor......" Thea leaned forward curiously. Before she could finish speaking, Lan Wu had already raised his head and smiled strangely: "I think I know why this Sinking Demon is so weird. ”
Xiya was about to ask for details, but Fuya suddenly pulled the corner of her clothes behind her: "Xiya, look, the skeleton of the benefactor seems to have changed." ”
Lan Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly looked up. Sure enough, the little skeleton named Lanya emitted a faint gray-white light.
Skeletons upgraded.
