Chapter 424: The Thing Above

"Do you hear that? There seems to be some kind of spell in there. Luo Luo asked her companions a little nervously, her eyes wandering around to find out where the voice of thought she heard came from.

"It's true, but I can't find its source. It may be possible to reverse track it with insight, but it may be perceived by them. We're still on their turf after all. Wei Ya listened attentively and quickly gave an approving response.

Although the two ladies did not get along well in the previous relationship, the situation and the common enemy allowed them to temporarily put aside their internal conflicts and cooperate together to a limited extent.

"Don't worry. These prayers are not for us, somebody is going to clean up over there, and what we have to deal with is here. Cheese finally said, reaching out his right index finger slightly to the top of his head, and the rest of the team followed suit.

Above them, there was a thick mist of water, which began after they were out of range of the fish, suggesting that the sandbar was probably not a natural formation.

But at this time, with the words of the gray robe and raised again, the eyes of several people opened in unison, and their breathing and heartbeat also missed a section. For no other reason, at this time, above the mist, there was an unusually clear black shadow winding by. The size of the black shadow is too big to measure exactly, but I instinctively think that I am afraid that the whales in the sea are nothing more than that.

But the whale is fish-shaped, but the top of their head is not, its body is relatively elongated, with countless branch-like protrusions around the edges. The shadow felt like a large snake, but no one who saw it would associate it with a snake, because there would be no snake with so many strange limbs, and no snake would have snaked through the air.

The most terrifying thing was that if it weren't for Cheese's point out, none of the many casters present would have noticed that such a huge thing was passing overhead. Now that his eyes have touched that shadow, Rao is a heroic man with strong blood and strength can't help but tremble.

"Lord of the Future and the Past, what is that!" the old man in the pointed hat sat down on the ground, his beard shaking.

He is not to blame, because the reason why the others did not fall was not that they were not afraid, but that they were so frightened that they couldn't make any movements, and they were stunned and poked in place, like a puppeteer. Fear, the most troublesome emotion of all emotions, once it is allowed to have the absolute upper hand, life and death are a matter of the blink of an eye.

Cheese knew this very well, and he knew very well that these people would react this way when they saw the shadow overhead. Even he knew the origin of the shadow, which was the very existence that the two squads in the rush should stop it. At this point, it appears here, indicating that one of the two teams has failed. Which one is it?

For a moment, the gray robe had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know whose luck he should expect, because that would mean misfortune on the other side. In all fairness, Jian Qi and him have a short relationship, but it is rare for Pingshui to meet, not to mention that they also have a fateful friendship in Jiefa Town. As for Atta and Kailas, needless to say, the death of either of them would be a great pain.

Of course, it is not yet certain that the appearance of the monster above his head will definitely mean the death of his companion, and even if he fights such a monster, Cheese believes that his friends may survive. It's just that this doesn't stop him from feeling bad about monsters he hasn't met head-on. Thinking of this, the gray robe looked around, and after making sure that everyone had no time to pay attention to him because of the shadow, his eyes flickered slightly.

With a stroke of his fingers, he grabbed a few grains of sand on the ground in his hands, and his fist was so hard that the sand grains cut through his skin and stained it with a little blood, and then Cheese threw the sand upwards. Strange to say, these grains of sand disappeared as soon as they left the mage's hands.

The shadow flying above suddenly froze, and then some kind of wailing and roaring sound came from the sky high up, and the originally leisurely flight suddenly sped up three or four times, and disappeared into the mist.

Naturally, Cheese's casual actions couldn't really cause any real damage to that thing, he just cast a spell on those few grains of sand that would make people feel severe pain, and the result was something he didn't expect. What he didn't expect was that this blow that he fired casually in anger would become an extremely crucial point in this battle. And the reason for this will not be clear until they truly understand the Buddha-figure of the shadows.

Something in the sky, gone. The people on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. These spellcasters, who usually think highly of themselves, looked at each other, and they all saw their own faces in each other's ugly faces. But soon they noticed something, the shadow that flew away did not leave the place, looking at the direction and timing, it was not passing by, it was more like it was going to the front and waiting for them.

Thinking of this, the legs and feet that had just regained consciousness began to weaken faintly. It has always been the case, people listen to the legend of the dragon slayer, and secretly imagine that if the time is right, they can take off the dragon's head and become a hero. But the mere glimpse of the dragon on the ground was enough to make them panic and abandon their wives and children.

"Is that our target?" the old man's voice trembled, and no one present would laugh at his fear. If someone else says this, it won't be more neat and crisp.

Cheese looked at the other man, shook his head slightly, and said as everyone breathed, "It wasn't supposed to be our goal." But apparently we're having problems with our colleagues in Rush, so it's so now. ”

"You, what's the matter with what you're talking about, is there anything similar to that here?" Wei Ya keenly grasped the problem in Cheese's words, which she had heard from her client did not mention.

"I'm afraid so. The gray robe nodded, and when he got here, he had some guesses about what he was about to face, and there was no need to hide it in the face of the team members, so he continued to explain,

"At first, your conveners and I were not very clear about the purpose of these cultists. All they know is that they have two strongholds in the city and one outside the city. This is not difficult to understand, the cunning rabbit still has three holes, and it is normal for these guys to hide their heads and tails. Looking at the posture just now, I am afraid that these three strongholds are not just as simple as spreading risks. The relationship between this and the other two places is likely to be like that of an ant and bee society. ”

The so-called state of the ant and bee society refers to the fact that both species have a clear division of labor within the population, and the worker bees and worker ants have to go out to find food and return to the nest to feed other members of the society. Their queens, in particular, need to be carefully supported by the entire race.

The current situation is not as complicated as that of ant colonies, but according to Cheese, the two strongholds placed in Riverrun are likely to be tasked with worker bees, who are using the vast urban resources of Riverrun to feed the kind of things that have just flown over, and that thing will fly back here to share the nutrients they have obtained with their counterparts. This will not be good news, and it will be more difficult to deal with the additional offspring.

The others quickly understood the meaning of the cheese metaphor, and their faces showed embarrassment, how terrible it would be to be kept here if the things that had just flown over were only used as a transporter of nutrients.

"Are you really sure you can defeat it?" Wei Ya took two deep breaths, forcing her brain to calm down in the chaos of thoughts. The training from the City of Ten Thousand Laws allowed her to quickly grasp the heart of the matter once again, and that was Cheese's reaction.

Judging by the Grey Robe's words and his unwavering determination from beginning to end, it didn't look like the man was carrying out an impossibly successful suicide attack. Or, he is in league with the heirs of the evil gods, and now he wants to trick these people into going to their destinations and sacrifice them to the evil gods. Or, even in such an unfavorable situation, the gray robe still has the confidence and means to achieve the ultimate victory.

Honestly, she prefers the former. Because according to her knowledge of magic, the price to pay to destroy such a being would be desperately great.
