Chapter 53: Earth Dragon

"Crackle!"

Eren unleashed a subtle lightning strike on the unconscious Wind Wolf King's leg, and the Wind Wolf King's electric leg twitched for a moment, and then his ears woke up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info waited for it to slowly open its eyes, and the first thing it saw was Bloom and Allen standing nearby, it immediately became nervous, and it stood up with a bone, baring its teeth at the two as if it wanted to continue fighting. But at that moment, out of the corner of its eye, it saw its companion jumping over, so it immediately ran over, arched its companion's injured leg with its mouth, licked the blood of the wound with its tongue, and whined in its throat, as if crying.

"Go, I will not show mercy if I see you again. ”

Harvey waved his hand impatiently at the two wind wolves. The snow-white Wind Wolf King seemed to understand what he meant, and as soon as it leaned over, the wounded Wind Wolf King had already jumped to its north, and bit the long hair on its erect neck with its mouth, and then it ran away with its legs with a low roar.

Although they are ferocious, they never abandon each other, and they depend on each other for life and death, and there is something respectable. ”

Looking at the two Wind Wolf Kings in the distance, Alan said in a low tone, this is the first time that Allen's opinion of the Wind Wolf has changed since Sterling died under the magic of the Wind Wolf King.

The Wind Wolf King's howling could be heard in the distance, and soon other Wind Wolves roared in response, but these sounds grew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely.

"Alan, let's go back!"

Bloom said to Allen, who was a little distracted looking in the direction of the wind wolf.

"Go back. ”

Behind them, Alan said, others were waiting for them.

"Brother Allen, are you alright?"

The little girl shouted from afar.

"It's okay! The wind wolf has been chased away by me, everyone can sleep well tonight. ”

After returning to the ship, Elvis drove the boat forward for a while to be on the safe side, and it was not until they confirmed that there were no more wind wolves following them on both sides of the river, and then they relaxed and chose a shore with stable water and stopped to rest.

"There are so many wind wolves, how did the other mercenaries deal with it when they went up the mountain to deliver tribute in previous years?"

That night, Alan and Bloom were in charge of sentry, and when they were bored, Alan asked curiously.

"There's no particularly good way, it's just that there are a lot of people, and with a strong crossbow, the wind wolf is a very smart monster, and when he sees that the opponent is overwhelming, he generally won't choose to come hard, at most he will engage in a small sneak attack, but even so, a back and forth, it is normal to lose dozens of people because of the wind and waves. ”

Bloom said with a sigh, and Alan understood that this road to escort the tribute was actually made by the mercenaries with their lives, so he didn't ask again.

The night was fine, the wind wolf did not appear again, not even barked, everyone had a good night's sleep, and the next day they continued on the road, the river became more and more shallow, most of the positions were knee-deep, and the boat could no longer sail. Bloom and the others dragged the boat out of the water, and Alan loaded the flotation magic array again, adjusted the buoyancy, and let the bamboo boat hang in the air, Harvey and Stanny dragged one by one, the little girl sat on the boat, and the others were on foot.

Although dragging the spaceship was not tiring, the overall travel speed had slowed down, and I could only walk forty or fifty miles a day before resting, which was equivalent to one-tenth of the previous one. And it was not safe to walk in the desert, and they were once again attacked by the Demonic Beast, an opponent who was small in number but much more difficult to deal with than the Wind Wolf.

The first attack took place under a sand dune, where everyone lined up and talked as they went, with Sergei and Fresnel, who could not speak, following last.

Suddenly, a monster hiding under the sand took Sergei, who was walking at the rear, as food, and quickly attacked.

Sergei's reaction speed was fast, and in a hurry he felt the sand under his feet soften, and then his figure flashed past the pounce, and was surprised to see where he was standing, the sand grains tumbled, and a part of a huge black body came out of the sand grains, and then quickly dived under the sand and disappeared without a trace.

"This is the Demon Beast Earth Dragon, who operates beneath the sand. The dragon's specialty is not offensive magic, but it can move freely under the sand, on the one hand, using the sand to protect its own safety, and on the other hand, it is easy to hide, launch a surprise attack, and even if the attack fails, it hides and it is difficult for others to find its traces. So, everyone should always watch their step!"

After hearing Sergei's account of what happened to him, Bloom quickly determined the identity of the beast.

The earth dragon, also known as the earth python, is a kind of earth-based demonic beast, living in the desert, its appearance is very similar to a giant snake, the power is very huge, especially under the sand and soil to use its own earth-based magic expertise, it is simply infinitely powerful, and the speed is very fast, and the scale armor is also very hard.

The appearance of the earth dragon caused a panic, but everyone quickly calmed down, according to Bloom's experience, the attack ability of the earth dragon is not very strong, it can only be regarded as a high-level magical beast, but this kind of magical beast is not easy to deal with, they not only have thick skin and flesh, the surface is covered with hard scale armor, ordinary blades are difficult to cut, and they use their earth magic talent to shuttle freely under the sand, which is equivalent to an extra layer of natural protection, in addition, they like to attack under the sand, which makes people unguardable.

"All the magicians are on board, and the swordsmen should be more careful. ”

Bloom shouted. According to his arrangement, all the magicians climbed above the bamboo boat, which was far from the ground and could effectively prevent the surprise attack of the earth dragon. The swordsman maintained a scattered formation and continued to walk on the ground. But the next earth dragon did not continue to attack, and everyone gradually let down their vigilance, thinking that it was just a passing earth dragon, and it was already far away after missing the blow. Stanny even talked and laughed with the little girl on the bamboo boat again, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty.

Stanny exclaimed, and was about to retract his right foot in the air, when suddenly a black shadow flashed in the sand, and his foot was already entangled in a black object, and a huge force dragged him into the sand.

The Earth Dragon reappeared, and this time Stanny was not as lucky as Sergei.

"Not good!"

Harvey, who was closest to Stanley, was quick and immediately pounced, and grabbed Stanny's hands before Stanny was completely dragged into the desert, but on the soft sand, both of them couldn't exert their strength, and they were still dragged down by the earth dragon under the sand, Stanny had disappeared under the sand in a blink of an eye, and Harvey's upper body was also taken down, but his hands still grabbed Stanny, he knew that once he let go, Stanny would be pulled into the depths of the desert immediately, and even if he had the strength of a high-level swordsman, he could not avoid suffocating to death under the entanglement of the earth dragon。
