Chapter 368: Knocked Down

Nangong Rong now finally understood why Angelot was so confident before, she looked like she could easily cross the mountain range, and she didn't pay attention to the interception of the abyss at all, because the girl knew from the beginning that they were going to ride the chocobos, and she also knew what these birds would become after being strengthened by divine magic, so she was so confident.

Of course, there are still accidents, for example, the long-range attack method of the abyss is clearly beyond the expectations of the elves, and it is not at all something that can be blocked by a few shields. This is also related to the fact that the Pointed Ears are afraid of the mountains and nullify all magic, and they have not actively crossed the mountains to launch even a tempting attack into the abyss, and if they had risked their attacks, they would have known exactly what kind of attack the enemy would use, but unfortunately they did not do so.

After all, most of the elves are magicians, and even if there is a special unit that is responsible for the defense of the front row and acts as a meat shield, they are still magicians in their bones - but any magician will never take the initiative to charge the enemy's position without being fully prepared and protected, which is something that only a warrior who is prone to fighting without saying a word on the blood is a matter of course.

In fact, Angelot and the others did not make any attempts, although the main force did not move after these pointed ears pushed the battle line to the foot of the mountain range, they also sent many teams to try during the confrontation, but basically nothing was achieved.

Because, they sent either sorcered and sorcered golems, or some combat-trained animals, the former would wither and disintegrate after walking less than a few meters in the mountain range, while the latter was no match for the vicious abyssal monsters, and they did not reach the side of the abyss by crossing the mountain range at all.

But that's all in the past, and now the elves have successfully climbed over the mountain range, and even broken through the abyss's fire interception to the foot of the mountain, and they are about to break out of the forbidden demon realm. It wasn't that the group of pointy ears suddenly gained courage, nor did their elders give the order to die, it was purely the result of Angellot taking the lead inside.

What Nangong Rong and the others didn't know was that the Elven Clan's Elders Association did not agree to this operation at all, and they did not even agree to contact the young man, all of which was completely concocted by Angelot herself. The soldiers were all elven girls' guards and even fanatics, believing that the girl was favored by the gods, and even if she explained that she had just picked up an auxiliary device, it was understood that this was a deliberate opportunity granted by the gods, and everyone was completely loyal to Angelot, and it was not difficult to mobilize them.

However, the girl could only mobilize so many people, and even the chocobo she was riding was lent to her by the officer of the army who had been taken care of by her through the back door, otherwise everyone would really have to travel on their legs in the mountains.

Fortunately, Nangong Rong and his entourage did not plan to come up and start a comprehensive cooperation with the elven clan to have some ideas about the ports in the depths of the Abyss Occupation Zone, they just wanted to see what kind of monsters the large number of miscellaneous soldiers in the Abyss in this plane were, and what their specific strength was, and then make a decision.

Now that most of the original goals of the boy and the others have been completed, all that remains is to fight the abyss monster in front of them.

The first to appear is a group of legendary Deadwood warriors, but they are not as cartoonish as in the game, they are all deformed and twisted, and the kind old man face on the trunk is even more hideous like the grimace of a horror movie. These were the ones who had thrown exploding branches at everyone, but luckily there weren't many of them, at least not to the point of covering the mountains.

It seems that the abyss randomly selected some infected trees to strengthen and transform them to produce the Deadwood Warriors, and not all of the infected trees have become like this, otherwise the teenagers would not have been able to break through the barrage unharmed. However, since these monsters were hiding in the withered forest, Nangong Rong didn't know how many people there were, so he could only choose these in front of him to destroy them first.

However, the elves were clearly quicker than the boys, and although Angelot did not move, her men took out their staffs and pointed forward, which at first glance looked like knights charging on horseback with spears and shields - but the pointy-eared ones were riding chubby chocobos, and the tips of the staffs posing as spears shone with colorful light, firing all kinds of magic at the enemy, which was not at all the same as a traditional knight charge.

Nangong Rong, who had fought with the tree people and seen the spells used by the elves in the air shooting, thought that these pointy ears were only good at wind magic, and the spells of other departments belonged to the level of half-hanging, but it was a seriously biased race, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, and the most fundamental reason why people use wind magic on a large scale is that the spells of this system will not cause much damage to the forest.

Once the elves no longer care about the damage that magic does to the environment, the spells they throw are terrifying, the earth cracks in violent vibrations, the viscous liquid corrodes everything including the stones, the blazing flames burn entire trees like an apocalyptic scene, and the hurricane that cuts off a few branches at most and blows people into the sky by the way, what is it delicious to eat?

Well, sure enough, the legend says that the pointed ears are a race that is indifferent and kind, kind and loves life, this view is wrong, and they are no worse than the sick lady who sees her favorite person walking with another girl and turns black on the spot.

Many abyssal monsters jumped out of the burning deadwood forest, and it seemed that they should have been made from the animals that originally lived in the forest; Nangong Rong even saw a large spider with almost the same appearance as the mount brought by the red-clothed three-headed body, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or a spider deliberately made by the people of Sitnila in this way-in short, the little guy obviously didn't have to worry about his safety when he sneaked in later, even if Nangong Rong and the others all destroyed this thing, it might not be okay.

The chocobo's sudden and rapid change of direction almost threw Nangong Rong out, so that the young man had to hurriedly put away his mind and hugged the bird's neck tightly, but when he looked closely, he found that the ten soldiers charging in front of him did not mean to collide with the oncoming monster and turn on their backs, and directly controlled the mount to draw a big circle and ran away to the left, obviously planning to fly a kite.

However, the circle was large enough to send the team into a dark and terrifying forest of deadwood. This is also an inevitable thing, the places in this plane that are not covered by plants are so rare that they can be counted on one hand, and unless they fly into the sky, ground combat must be inseparable from the forest.

Even if this forest was completely withered after being eroded by the energy of the abyss.

After entering the forest, Nangong Rong always felt a chill behind him, and he could always feel countless sights from all directions, he couldn't tell whether it was the gaze of the monster chasing after him or the gaze of the dead trees around him, anyway, the young man only knew that if he continued like this, he would probably be driven crazy.

It turned out that Nangong Rong's feeling was not an illusion, after the team ran wildly in the forest for dozens of meters, a branch suddenly swept down from the young man diagonally without warning, and the movement was as flexible as an animal, and the young man didn't have time to react at all.

Instead, the gray chocobo beneath the boy pecked violently at the branches, trying to block the enemy's attack for his rider. The buff applied by Angellot lasted for a long time, and it still has an effect, and if nothing else, the bird should be able to peck the branch into two pieces with great ease.

But that didn't happen, the hard beak hit the branch with a loud metallic roar, and instead of pecking the branch in two, the chocobo's head was struck in the head, causing it to lose its balance - and to make matters worse, the bird was running at high speed, and it rolled into a fluffy ball as soon as it fell to the ground.

The magic effect cast by Angelot is indeed powerful, Nangong Rong who was riding on the back of the bird did not suffer a direct hit, and he felt as if he was hit head-on by a high-speed truck, and the force of the chocobo that collided directly was obviously even more exaggerated;

Fortunately, although Nangong Rong fell badly, he never lost consciousness after all, and he still remained awake, and he immediately wanted to stand up with a carp, but his left leg did not obey the call at all, and the young man's actions finally only made him very embarrassed to lie on the ground again and gnaw on a mouth full of mud.

"Hell, I was so nervous during the charge that I forgot I was still hurting my leg. Nangong Rong, who hurriedly spit out the mud in his mouth, turned over and sat up, and immediately slapped a healing technique on his left leg, and it was only then that the young man finally saw clearly what kind of injury he had suffered, "I'll strangle it, this blood is too exaggerated, right?"

The left trouser tube is damp and dark red at the moment, and the muscles and even leg bones that have been turned over below can be seen at the position of a large hole on the surface, obviously the stone that hit Nangong Rong at the beginning passed through his left calf and opened a hole, causing the bleeding to not stop naturally, which is not serious but is enough to be fatal if not treated.

Sensation returned to his legs, but it was as cold as being immersed in ice water, followed by intense, convulsive pain, and finally a relaxing warmth and itch. This series of changes made the boy almost roll on the ground, but unfortunately he was really not in the mood now, because the branch finally came to him after finishing off the chocobo, and was about to attack.

The abyss, which was extremely concerned about Nangong Rong, naturally understood that the young man was not good at dealing with pure physical attacks without the slightest abyss energy, so the branch thicker than a human did not cast any magic but smashed directly at him with his head and face. If it is filmed, Nangong Rong will definitely become a mosaic in seconds, and there will not even be the slightest accident.

The boy raised his wrist decisively, and then blocked the branch with a protective shield. This is the highest-level defensive skill that the system currently provides to Nangong Rong, and this time it also saved the boy's life, but only temporarily - the shield did block the slapping of the branches, but then it shattered into a point of light in the sky with a click, perfectly interpreting what it means to be vulnerable.

At this time, Nangong Rong could finally take a closer look at the branches, it was no different from the dead trees around it, but it dragged the elder into the shadows between the trees, and its body seemed to be hidden in the deepest part of the forest. And the trouble is that there is not only one such branch, after stopping Nangong Rong, several branches stretched out from the shadow of the trees and rolled towards the young man, completely blocking all his escape routes.

There is no need for Nangong Rong to shout and remind that the golden retriever cat has secretly stored energy and is ready to use magic to save the young man's life, and she doesn't want the other party to die in this kind of place. However, the system soon discovered that this was unnecessary, because just as the branch was attacking Nangong Rong, a black shadow appeared between the boy and the branch with a thunderous momentum, blocking the deadly attack for him.

It was a chubby chocobo, spreading its wings in mid-air and trying to glide in a posture, its movements were clumsy enough to be described as cute, of course, this was not the point, on the back of the bird sat a beautiful girl with long green hair, the spear in her hand was wrapped around the surface of the blue air visible to the naked eye, and the dress of the whole body was pulled by the wind to show a very exaggerated tension, like a proudly blooming flower.

Octavir immediately turned back after discovering that Nangong Rong had been attacked, and then appeared at a critical moment to steal countless sense of existence. The young man was so moved that he was about to cry bitterly, and when the eldest princess rode a landing bird and rushed straight towards her, she opened her arms to the girl and begged for a hug, no, she was begging to take it away, anyway, it was just a matter of one more person behind her.

Nangong Rong's appearance was naturally despised by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she gorgeously ignored the other party's outstretched arms, and directly waved the spear in her hand with a whirring sound in the air, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and beckoning towards several branches.

However, even Octavir's attacks didn't do much to the branches, except for cutting off a few pieces of rotten wood, she was able to stop them from moving.

The chocobo under the seat of the eldest princess finally landed on the ground, and the bird's claws pressed the soil to plow out two deep and long ravines, and finally stopped in front of Nangong Rong.

"Go wake up your mount, I don't have the heart to take you with me. Octavier used his spear to fend off the constantly attacking branches while shouting to Nangong Rong without looking back, "Hurry up, those monsters behind are about to catch up!"
