Chapter 65: Trapping
"What? You want to use the Earth Dragon's core to make a hole, and then we attack the King of Ice Beasts from underground?"
Elvis asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After killing the earth dragon a few days ago, Bloom got the earth dragon's magic core, but the magic core has no other use for him except to exchange it for gold coins, and he is not short of these thousand gold coins now, so the earth dragon's magic core was handed over to Elvis, who is a high-level magician of the earth system.
"We're not Earth Dragons, how can we attack from underground? I want you to use that magic core to create a big hole in the sand, which can hold two Ice Beast Kings, and then we use quicksand magic to trap them, and when they break free, we have already thrown them off and reached our destination in Dragon God Mountain. β
Alan had been thinking about what method he could use to deal with the two king of ice beasts on the spaceship just now, and it was best to be able to do it without fighting hard, and then he suddenly thought of the fact that the earth dragon dragged Stanny into the ground a few days ago, if he could drag the king of the two ice beasts into the ground, he could achieve the goal, but the king of the ice beasts was huge, if he wanted to drag them underground, it was not simple, he had to dig a big hole under the ground in advance, which was not a simple matter, but because they held the magic core of the earth dragon in their hands made all this possible, and the rest was how to attract the king of ice beasts into the trap, and this was much simplerγ
Elvis, who understood Allen's plan, immediately took out the magic core he was carrying, and recited a spell to activate the magic on the core. The function of the Earth Dragon's magic core is to allow the Earth Dragon to pass under the sand on its own, which is itself a kind of hole-making magic, so Elvis only needs to control its casting speed and range.
"Harvey, you go to the sand dunes to observe the location of the Ice Beast King, and report at any time when they get close, we need to be prepared. β
Alan instructed Harvey to go to the sentry, and although they were hiding for the time being, there were not many places to hide nearby, and this small dune would soon be found by the Ice Beast King, and they had to be prepared before the Ice Beast King arrived.
With the chanting of the magic incantation, in the amazed eyes of everyone, a pit soon appeared on the sandy ground in front of them, and the pit expanded and deepened, as if an invisible force was oppressing and guiding the sand to flow and move in all directions.
"The kings of the two ice beasts have appeared, and they are coming together. β
"The King of Ice Beasts is in the southeast, more than five hundred steps away from us. β
"They've stopped, looking everywhere for our traces. β
"They're coming in our direction. β
Harvey whispered the location and movements of the Ice Beast King to Alan and the others in a timely manner.
When Alan heard this, he knew that time was pressing, and began to help Elvis cast spells together. Soon, a deep pit eight paces deep and five paces in diameter appeared in the middle of the sand, and Elvis used a solidification technique to hold the sand on the inner surface of the cavity in place to prevent it from flowing back into the pit.
"It's a pity that five hundred gold coins have run out like this. β
The color on the earth dragon demon core faded, almost transparent, indicating that the magic elements stored in it had been consumed, Elvis stopped the magic spell, put the magic core away again, and said with some distress. The magic core is different from the magic crystal, and the power will decrease with the increase of the number of uses, and eventually it will be completely scrapped, so the cost of the first use of the magic core is almost equivalent to half of the total cost, and the magic core of a land dragon is worth about a thousand gold coins, so Elvis said that this time the spell consumed five hundred gold coins.
"El, don't you want to keep the money to marry a wife?"
Bloom saw Elvis looking like a miser and deliberately teased him.
"Brother El, Brother Allen makes a set of magic arrays casually, and the profits are more than that. It's a big deal that he will refine a few more sets of air-conditioning magic arrays to ensure that you will have a beautiful wedding. β
Stanny followed suit.
During this period of time together, everyone understands Elvis's temperament, he will be bitter and mean to the people he hates, but he will show enthusiasm and tolerance for the people he likes, so everyone communicates with him very casually, even if the enemy is currently in a few jokes with him.
"I just feel sorry for this rare core, using it once less than once. β
Elvis hurriedly changed his words.
Alan was still observing the hole in the ground, the diameter and depth of the hole should be enough, but the open hole was too obvious, if you want to attract the king of ice beasts, you must camouflage it a little, so Alan took out an earth-based magic crystal and began to chant magic spells, pale yellow light emitted from the surface of the crystal, and finally condensed at the entrance of the trap, forming a cloud of yellow mist, these yellow mist rolled, quickly spread out and sealed the entire hole, and finally gradually solidified, becoming a layer of mud tablets that blocked the hole.
"Put some sand on top. β
Bloom next to him looked at the location of the trap, the shape and color of the surface were a little different from the side, so he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the sand next to him to the top of the mud slab, and quickly covered the mud slab completely, and the ground at the entrance of the hole looked no different from the surrounding sand.
"That's it, everybody get on the ship, Fresnel, you lure them with your bow and arrows. β
Alan called back Harvey, there was no need to continue to keep watch, and when everyone was back on the ship, he activated the floating magic array, and the ship went up.
Without waiting for Fresnel to shoot an arrow, the King of Ice Beasts who was looking for them had already spotted them, and then the two giant beasts, one white and one black, roared and pounced.
"El, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Alan took a few steps back from the ship, keeping the trap between the ship and the King of Ice Beasts, then turned to Elvis, who was holding a magic array in his hand, and nodded to him, meaning that everything was ready.
"Roar!"
The King of Ice Beasts had already rushed to the top of the dunes, this one was larger than the previous one in terms of height and waistline, and there were a lot of blood stains on the hair on his face, which was the one Alan had seen on the top of the dune.
The other one who had been burned by the flames and was blackened also rushed forward, his movements still as agile as before, and it seemed that the magic of the Pillar of Fire had no effect other than to make it look a little embarrassed.
"Roar!"
Seeing that his opponent was in front of him, the King of Ice Beasts stood up at the top of the dune, beating his chest with his fists, and let out a roar, which shook the eardrums of Alan and the others.
"Retreat. β
Alan said as he drove the ship to the north side, trying to distance himself from the beast as quickly as possible.
The king of the ice beasts saw the spaceship retreating, and immediately realized that Eren was ready to escape, how could this make Eren succeed, the two giant beasts rushed down from the sand dunes almost in order, and landed on all fours, but they didn't run forward two steps, and suddenly felt empty under their feet, and then in a dim light, the two giant beasts were planted into a big hole in the ground together.
