() Wake them up, Cassius hurriedly shouted to Sophia

Sophia nodded, and then she rushed into the two tents to wake her companions one by one, while Cassius stayed where she was, preparing to cast defensive magic, only to see the water elemental in the air converging towards the tip of his magic staff

What are you doing, I just fell asleep, Lyle grumbled as he rubbed his eyes

There may be danger, please be serious, okay, Joyka gave him a blank look and said

Be careful, Cassius warned his friends, I had spoken to the water elemental just now, and they told me that there were six people approaching around here, and one of them had an elemental reaction in his body, and he should be a magician

Before Cassius could finish speaking, he saw an arrow suddenly shoot from the dark shadows of the trees around him, and hit Cassius directly

The defensive magic scroll that had been placed around by Cassius immediately took effect, and I saw an air shield in air magic immediately envelop all the companions, but the arrow only slowed down a little after passing through the air shield, and continued to pounce on Cassius

When the arrow was about to touch Cassius's body, a wall of ice appeared in front of Cassius, and the arrow slammed into the ice wall, unable to penetrate, and the remaining strength was exhausted and fell to the ground

It's dangerous, Cassius wiped a sweat, but luckily I set up a double defense, otherwise I would have hung up by now

Now that the enemy has attacked first, the partners have to prepare for battle

Joyka took her bow and arrows

Memphik drew his sword

Thunder crossed the crimson spear

Sophia grasped a dagger in one hand, and the chain of a silver cross in the other

Alice shouted: In response to the call of your master, now resuscitate on the master's body, fulfill your contract, Zhenwu Holy Armor shouted Alice raised her hands to the sky, and saw that a set of armor phantoms were separated from the palms of her hands, and then the phantom gradually materialized into an ancient entity, and the whole body armor was automatically worn on Alice's body

Cassius and Lyle, who are pure mages, grabbed their respective magic wands and guarded Ishnova's wheelchair, and Joyka, Memphik, Ray, Sophia, and Alice surrounded Cassius, Lyle, and Ischennova in the middle, and there were two magical defenses on the periphery of the eight, namely the ice wall and the air shield, forming a solid defensive formation

Just as the five outermost companions were looking around vigilantly, observing which direction the second arrow might come from, a violent tremor was heard under their feet

Could it be an earthquake Alice shouted in horror

It's not an earthquake, it's a magic that belongs to the earth branch, the 'quicksand' Lyle said in a hurry

At this time, the companions noticed that the ground under their feet was constantly softening, and the original mud was rapidly turning into quicksand, engulfing the eight people standing on it along with their fires and tents

Are we going to be buried in the ground here, Sophia said very anxiously

Can't stay in this place any longer, must leave Memphik shouted

How to leave, we are now very difficult to even take a step, Joyka said

And Ishnova, who had never encountered such a situation, was the most panicked one of them, because she was in a wheelchair, so once she fell into the quicksand, she was the first to be submerged, and Ishnova shook Cassius standing next to her vigorously: think of a way, Cassius quickly think of a way

Cassius, however, ignored her pleas, and closed his eyes in a pensive manner, muttering words as he wanted to chant some magical incantation

Suddenly, Cassius opened his eyes and shouted: The earth is frozen, saying that, he reversed his magic wand and touched the top of the oak staff to the ground, only to see that the ground was quickly covered with a layer of ice, and the desertification of the land soon stopped, and Cassius used the method of freezing the water element to block the energy transfer between the earth element and the caster who cast the quicksand spell

Damn, he interrupted my spell casting, and an angry female voice came from the shadows of the trees around me, I want to chop you all to pieces

Several partners looked at each other, and the strength of this spellcaster was too small, just because his magic was broken by others, he was angry like this, in human society, mages often fought against magic, and it often happened that the magic was cracked, and no one was angry like this

As soon as the woman's voice fell, four arrows had already been fired from the surrounding trees, and of course, like the original first arrow, these four arrows could not penetrate the air shield and the ice wall's defenses, causing damage to their allies

Although these attackers can't help their partners for the time being, they also don't know where the attackers are hiding

Sophia put away her dagger but still grasped the cross, and she took a step forward and shouted to the trees around her, "Are you forest spirits?"

That's right, we're a patrol of the elves, whoever you are, get out of here now, and answer Sophia with another female voice, which is different from the one who cast the quicksand spell just now

Will we be able to live in peace, negotiate and negotiate, Sophia said in a consultative tone, in fact, we have no ill intentions, we are just using the road to guò, and we do not mean to offend your territory, and we promise not to harm a single tree or thing in the forest

There is no negotiation, no negotiation, you will get out of here, and the female elf who did not show up very rudely rejected Sophia's request

Please, let us go, no, we just want to enter the Underground Kingdom, Sophia continued to plead

What underground kingdoms for me to kill, kill them mercilessly

Unexpectedly, Sophia's words had the opposite effect, and the other party's attitude became worse after hearing the word underground kingdom, and the original eviction order immediately became a kill order

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that two rounds of bow and arrow attacks had begun, and a total of eight arrows were blocked by the double shield of the protective partner

Before the partners could let go of their high hearts, there was a rumbling sound from the nearby trees, and through the firelight, the partners saw several tall figures rushing towards them from all directions, and when they were about to rush to them, the partners realized that it was ten mud elementals who were rushing over

Among the earth elementals summoned by earth-based magic, there are five levels: mud elementals, rock elementals, rock colossus, gravitational elementals, and diamond elementals, and these mud elementals who rush towards their allies are at the lowest level of the first level, and they are good at ordinary physical strikes, although they are more vulnerable than the slightly higher rock elementals, but they are extremely numerous

Since the air shield could only defend against ranged attacks and was largely ineffective against melee attacks, the clay elementals smoothly passed through the void air shield and rushed to the ice wall, raising their giant fists and smashing them hard

It seems that the strategy of these elves is very clear, and when their bows and arrows cannot penetrate the two magical defenses, they summon a group of mud elementals, hoping to destroy the ice wall and relieve one of the defenses of their companions

In the face of the enemy who rushed up, the partners could not be beaten passively, they could only fight

Taking advantage of the time when the clay elementals smashed the ice wall, Cassius summoned another ring of ice wall behind the clay elementals, and when this magic was completed, Cassius took the initiative to lift the maintenance state of the original ice wall and reduce the consumption of magic, so Mewfik, Ray and Alice rushed out in three directions respectively, and fought fiercely with the ten clay elementals in front of them, and the three warriors were all blessed by Sophia, and their combat power was greatly increased

Joika aimed at the feet and hands of these elementals and shot them sideways, and his bow skills effectively reduced the attack power and movement speed of the clay elementals, making it very easy for the three companions who rushed in front of him to dodge attacks and slash at the elementals

In a few moments, all ten clay elementals fell under the swords, crimson spears, and steel fists, turning into piles of mud and returning to the ground

Damn the elven woman hiding in the tree, she began to shout again, that guy who looks like a monkey, how could you, as a mere human, use the bow that our elves never passed on to say where you stole it back

When Joyka heard this, he shouted angrily: "Who are you talking about, like a monkey, who jumps down from a tree and singles out with me, and my bow skills are better than any of your elves?"

Soon, there was a rustling sound from the surrounding trees, mixed with one or two shouts and curses, it was obvious that Joyka's words caused a great shock in the hearts of those elves who were in ambush, how could their elves boast of being the best in the world in the bow skills, and how could they be willing to succumb to a mere human being, and Joyka's provocation greatly stung the elves' self-esteem

Joika, you shouldn't provoke them, Sophia complained

Anyway, they were all scared of something, and Joyka showed a nonchalant expression

The other partners also felt strange, not long ago, it was Joyka who told them not to anger the elves, how can the contrast be so big now, in fact, Joyka has her own plans, since the elves attach so much importance to their bow skills, and regard it as an honor, then as long as they are better than them in bow skills, they can naturally win the respect of these elves

However, the elves had no intention of having a fair duel with Joika in terms of bowing

You humans are so scheming, we won't be fooled, when our warriors come down from the trees, you will definitely take our people as hostages, hum, do you think you have defeated the mud elementals just now, open your eyes and take a look

As soon as the words fell, the piles of mud that had been dismantled by the mud elementals on the ground automatically gathered together and then reverted to ten mud elementals, as if their companions had never knocked them down
