56. Heavy damage
There is no safe place in the trial rainforest, and they may be attacked by demonic beasts at any time, after hearing Dawn's words, everyone stood up one after another, and inspired the magic to look at the darkness vigilantly, but found that there was nothing, so they angrily turned to Dawn and said the last words of their lives: "Dawn, what the hell are you doing?"
Then the gray ripples silently shook around them, and then they fell limply to the ground, and their souls converged into the hands of a black-robed man with the gray ripples.
The black-robed man was none other than Peter Orm, whose flight speed was close to the limit of his apprenticeship, but he found that he could only close the distance between him and the Death Mark very slowly, and sometimes even get farther away, he couldn't help but reflect on his arrogance, and decided to use formal magic to kill Adam the next time he met him.
A gray mist began to spread around his body, and the energy of unknown attributes was extremely powerful, and anything that appeared around him was eroded into nothingness by the energy.
He had thought that after successfully entering the rune barrier, what awaited him would be a fun game of cat and mouse, but now he found that he was facing a life-and-death hunt.
As an anti-mage, every second he stayed under the eyes of the mainstream mages became more dangerous, and he had even begun to suspect that the mainstream mages had discovered him, and the reason why he didn't arrest him was just to tease him.
The reason why anti-mages were able to survive under the rule of mainstream mages, except for the reason they didn't want to admit it, was by prudence.
Peter Orm split his soul into two before he came to the Mage Continent, and only a large part of this body existed, which was used to maintain the combat power of the official mage level, although even if it was lost, it would not be life-threatening, but it would cause him a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, his killing intent was even worse, "It's just an apprentice, you can't escape from the palm of my hand." ”
......
Adam is running for his life, one thread is used to control the body, and all the other threads are trying their best to recover their mental power, Peter Orm's words are very helpful to him, he should have thought that the place of trials has a boundary, and the boundary is likely to have a rune enchantment, and through the shock rune enchantment, it will definitely attract the attention of the overseer.
That was probably the only chance he would have survived now.
He knew that he was no longer allowed to cherish his magic at this time, so he gave up the obstacles in his dodge path, and instead maintained the magic output, cutting everything in front of him and opening a pathway.
He didn't know the exact path, but he didn't need to, as long as he kept flying in one direction, he would hit the border sooner or later, and he only hoped that this time would be faster than the time it would take for Peter Orm to catch up with him.
Adam found that he was really unlucky this time, he underestimated the power of the demonic beasts in the rainforest, and the huge demonic beasts could not keep up with his speed, but this time he accidentally provoked the flying demonic beasts.
After using a wind blade to cut down a giant tree in front of him, the devil shouted frantically in his head: "Master, back, back!"
After hearing the voice of the devil, Adam consciously controlled the thread, and only then did he find that he had accidentally caused a big problem.
He poked the hornet's nest.
That's a kind of swarm monster called the big needle bee, compared to ordinary bees, their bodies are huge and incredible, and the dark green poisonous needles behind them are as long as their bodies, this kind of monsters are irritable and irritable, and they are extremely territorial, usually as long as a creature enters the range of their hive, they will be attacked, not to mention that Adam has destroyed the hive.
In the high-magic environment of the Mage Continent, demonic beasts are almost everywhere, but large demonic beasts and solitary demonic beasts are usually not so aggressive, if it weren't for the academy's drugging, the apprentices of this trial would have been able to spend their lives peacefully as long as they stayed in one place quietly.
But unlike the social beasts, they have very low intelligence, and will act completely on instinct, attacking all creatures that come into sight.
Adam couldn't count how many large needle bees were chasing him, and when he looked back, his vision was full of dark green flying insects, and there was an overwhelming amount of poisonous needles and venom air blades coming at him, and the humming sound was like an offensive infrasound, which shook Adam from concentrating.
"Damn!" Adam cursed fiercely, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Adam had to find a way to get rid of this group of monsters.
The big needle bee is just a weak monster when it is single, although the attack power is good, but the body is fragile, and the flight speed is also very slow, but as long as they gather into a group, the special population characteristics can make their strength and speed merge, and Adam's flight speed is not enough to get rid of them.
During the chase, Adam encounters two groups of apprentices, the unfortunate men who are defenseless against the colony of needle bees, and whose bones are left after the storm crosses.
The monsters have their own survival intelligence, they can sense the arrival of the needle bee and have a way to hide their bodies in advance, which also causes Adam to not even find the target of the deflection attack.
Adam was chased and could no longer keep his original course, and after rushing out of a dense forest, a verdant lake appeared in front of him.
Unable to care whether there would be terrifying aquatic monsters in the lake, Adam plunged into the lake, and the large needle bee swarm hovered over the lake and refused to disperse.
Fortunately, the water was surprisingly calm, only ordinary aquatic creatures, there was no monster, and the poison needle shot from the surface of the lake into the water like a machine gun fire, and occasionally the poison needle that hit Adam caused ripples on the telekinetic barrier.
"With this intensity, I can't catch a salvo. Adam silently calculated, and found that he had no way to resist the colony of needle bees.
The devil said anxiously, "Master, I feel a great malice approaching at a rapid pace. ”
Adam's mood sank to the bottom, his mind was racing, and now his physical injuries had reached the limit, and he could not bear the burden of a teleportation technique, in this case, he was facing the enemy, not to mention the anti-mage, even the Great Needle Bee could not resist, and Peter Orm was killing him, and he seemed to have no way out of the desperate situation.
The devil urged again: "Master, you must think of a way, the malice is already very close!"
Adam cut off all distractions, it was not his character to sit still, even if there was little hope to try to fight for a glimmer of life, he asked the devil in his heart, "Can you feel the direction?"
"Southeast, fast!"
Adam crossed the bottom of the lake for a long distance before head-on towards the Enemy Mage.
The devil was stunned, and he cried out, "Master, you are in the wrong direction......
Adam ignored it, and used his telekinetic power to wave the current, rolling huge waves at the bottom of the lake.
"Master, what are you going to do! Turn around, you're looking for death!"
With a bang, Adam rolled up the water dragon and burst out of the lake.
......
Peter Orm scurried through the rainforest, a passage behind him that had been corroded by his breath of negative energy.
He followed the direction of the Death Mark on a rampage, killing everything he came across, and suddenly he noticed that the movement of the Death Mark had stopped, and Peter Orm burst out as fast as he could, a sinister smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, and he guessed that Adam must have been dragged.
"Unfortunately little mouse, I won't give you another chance, I'm tired of playing this kind of game. ”
A few minutes later, he rushed out of the forest and saw the lake, as well as Adam, who had just washed out of the water.
At this moment, he burst out with all his magical power, obscure spells resounded in the heavens and the earth, and the gray fluctuations gathered into a beam of energy with him as the origin, and struck towards Adam with a terrifying aura.
"Soul Tearing!"
"Enjoy despair, suffer pain, and perish completely!"
Peter Orm had absolute confidence in his magic, and this energy blast of thousands of human souls could easily destroy the soul of any apprentice, and Adam was not immune.
Adam's eyes were occupied by gray, and this energy made his soul tremble involuntarily, and the devil had lost the ability to speak, and waited for death in despair.
At this time, the large needle swarm behind him also hit him with a volley of poisonous needles, and Adam turned his body without hesitation and flew towards the poisonous needle rain.
It was the last effort he could make, even if there was little hope.
He simply removed the telekinetic barrier, and let the poisonous needle pierce his body, the poison, the energy, first pierced his body, and then met Peter Orm's magic, but with little effect, the energy pillar of the soul-tearing magic only slightly fluctuated and penetrated the poisonous needle rain.
But it bought at least a few seconds.
.....
"Found you!"
Inside the mobile house, the two official mages of the Moldor Tower got up at the same time, took a step forward and disappeared in place, and the next second appeared over the lake.
"The apprentice!?" one of them rushed towards Adam, who would normally not care if an apprentice lived or died, but now it was his duty, and the rules of the tower made it impossible for him to sit idly by.
The second person instantly understood the reason why the anti-mage had infiltrated the trial land, and he asked in disbelief, "You paid the price of such a fight, just to kill a mage apprentice?"
The tower mage does not need a spell to cast a spell, and at the same time as the second official mage spoke, complex magic runes appeared in front of him, and in the intersection of the runes, a huge red pillar of fire hit Peter Orm, and a huge amount of lake water was instantly evaporated, and a large number of large needle bees were roasted into charcoal, and the sky above the lake was covered with clouds and mist, and corpses fell like rain.
Peter Orm's face changed drastically, he didn't expect two official mages to arrive at the same time, he quickly took out a teleportation scroll and tore it apart, trying to teleport away, but the majestic energy distorted the space, his body was torn in half, and half of it remained in place.
