Chapter 24: Poisonous Vines (I)
"Accept your fate, you can't escape."
Arya adjusted her breathing, raised her crossbow and aimed it at the woman in the long black dress standing in the middle of the glade with her back to her, her emerald green eyes remained calm on the surface, but in fact revealed unconcealed hatred and murderous intent.
The elven girl's ultimatum blew into the woman's ears with the wind in the woods.
The woman standing in the middle of the glade raised a hand to hold the wound of the arrow on her back, her body wrapped in a long skirt trembled slightly from a low sneer, and then turned to face the elven girl, her long white hair fluttering slightly in the night with the inertia of turning.
Since the specific topography of this glade is actually a small basin, the woman in the black dress and white hair raised her eyes to look up at the elf girl who aimed the crossbow at her, but the look in her eyes was not frightened by the crossbow in Arya's hand, but seemed very calm and indifferent, as if Arya could not pose any threat to her at all, whether in reality or in theory.
After all, she had never forgotten that she was one of the four leaders of the Shepherd's Sect, known as the "Poison Vine" by the inhabitants of the St. Furren Sea.
"Long time no see, little elf girl." The woman known as the Poison Crow looked at Arya with a smile, "I remember you...... But your appearance doesn't look cute at all now, is it just for revenge that you've chased me here with red eyes like those ugly wolves? ”
Arya is too lazy to talk nonsense with her enemies.
The elven girl didn't answer the poisonous vine's playful question, but just stood coldly and looked at the other party, and then her left hand was aimed at the female patriarch's raised hand crossbow, and then a magical light flashed again, and a silver light arrow of divine attribute immediately flew out of the poisonous vine's head with a whistling sound that broke through the air resistance.
Among the four patriarchs of the Demon Shepherd, Poisonvine is the best alchemist in the history of the Fourth Age of Ferdia, but her personal combat ability is very different from that of the Joker, the Grey Knight, and the Faceling. The Patriarchess's adventurous profession at this time had not actually completed the advancement of the second-order profession.
In other words, Poison Vine's specialty lies in alchemy, not combat, and if she really wants to fight with Arya one-on-one, it is not certain who will win or lose.
Therefore, the female patriarch of the Demon Pastoral Sect did not intend to go toe-to-toe with the elven girl who was the inaugural witcher.
When Arya raised her hand and shot an arrow at her. She immediately raised a magic scroll that she had pinched into her hand at some point, and said aloud, "De'fnz!" ”
A syllable of a spell to activate the scroll fell from her mouth, and the scroll in her hand immediately ignited a blue fire that burned itself into ashes, a dark blue shield was applied to her in time, and Arya's arrow then snapped into the shield, instead of hurting the venom vines again as she had done in the woods.
After failing to get an arrow, the elf girl didn't care so much, and then used her magic bullet shooter expertise to continue shooting at the energy shield created by the poison vine using the magic scroll. At the same time, your feet move quickly along the slope of this forest basin to the center of the basin.
As if she knew that the poison vine was not actually a qualified combatant, she used her crossbow to keep the magic arrows firing at a regular rate, and at the same time very decisively approached the poison vine's location.
The mastein, dressed in a long black dress, stood in the magic shield and watched the elf girl quickly approach her in a shooting posture, maintaining a calm smile on her face, and when Arya rushed into what she thought was about the same range, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and the center of the small basin in the glade suddenly shook violently like an earthquake.
The poisonous vine squatted on his knees under the shaking of the ground to keep his balance.
Arya noticed the movement of the poison vine raising her hand and snapping her fingers, and her instinct told her that the vibration of the ground at this time was mostly related to some of the actions the poison vine had just done. Suddenly, he felt that something extremely dangerous was lurking around him.
That feeling of danger came from the dirt beneath her feet.
She looked down at her feet alertly, and immediately stopped her progress and jerked back.
The next second. The dirt floor where the elven girl had been standing was stabbed from under the surface without warning, and the thing then stretched out from the ground with two thick limbs, presumably hands, to support the rest of the ground, causing her massive body buried in the earth to break through the ground with great difficulty.
"It's ...... What the hell? ”
The elven girl raised her head and stared at the behemoth crawling out of the ground in front of her.
She looked at the monster and saw that it was a head taller than the undead executioner she had seen in Hurengel, and the muscles on it were sickly blue-gray. A pair of demonic bat-shaped wings, four horse's hooves on the ground, and the limbs of many creatures were awkwardly inserted into its bloated body, and it looked like the size of the head was like a ball on its neck, and the ball-like head was covered with countless pairs of eyes as dense as spiders, making this huge monster look like a disgusting version of the big-headed doll.
Arya looked up at the monster and took two steps back.
The poisonous vine walked out from behind the monster with a smile, reached out and grabbed a chain hanging from the monster's neck and pulled it down. The giant monster with a head as big as a ball immediately knelt down and stretched out a palm the width of a shield to hold up the poisonous vine and place it on his shoulder.
When the monster stabilized itself, the black dress and white-haired matriarch sat on the latter's shoulder with one hand on the monster's neck and looked down at Arya who was standing on the ground looking up at her, the smile on the corner of her mouth became hideous for a moment, and then she spoke in a haughty tone, shouting out a noun that might be the name of the monster and gave an order: "Loser, attack!" ”
Hearing the poison vine's command, the monster, which the poison vine called the loser, suddenly cracked a slender crack in its huge spherical head, which could be a mouth, and let out an extremely ugly roar as if it was coughing phlegm in its throat, and then raised its slap and slapped it at Arya, who was much smaller than it.

Arya made an urgent roll to the side, rising in the direction of the roll as she raised her hand and shot an arrow at the place where the loser slammed into the air with a loud "poof".
The glittering arrow then struck the back of the monster's hand like a small bolt of lightning, sending out a wisp of green smoke that zigzags upwards from the spot where it hit. (To be continued.) )
