Chapter 385: Stalling for Time

For Octavier, it was not in line with the character of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to only watch Nangong Rong start a spiritual battle with the abyss and not be able to do anything, she quickly took out her weapon and poked it here and there on the surface of the tree root, and she didn't know what she was busy with.

"What the hell are you doing?" Lin Weiyin, who was dizzy by the other party, finally couldn't help but ask, interrupting Octavir's movements by the way, "In case the elves set traps here, are you going to trigger them all before you are willing?"

Angelot, who couldn't laugh or cry, hurriedly gave a statement next to her: "We didn't set any traps here!" (glancing at the unusually silent captain of the guard nearby) Probably. ”

"What the hell is it, probably, the kind of behavior that suddenly changes to an uncertain tone in the middle of the conversation is too suspicious, hey!" Lin Weiyin pointed at the elf girl and shouted loudly with an exaggerated appearance that was almost about to jump up, "There should be a trap, you definitely have a trap, right?"

Angellot didn't answer, but Octavier, who was holding a spear and struggling on the surface of the tree's roots, suddenly shook his hand, and then the tip of the spear sounded like a rotten wood being chiseled through.

"Ah......h

To be reasonable, Lin Weiyin involuntarily had a very subtle mood in her heart when she saw her teammates casually touching around without warning in the dangerous ruins, and then unexpectedly triggered a trap, such as a huge spherical rolling stone or something, causing the whole team to burst into tears on the spot and run for their lives, although usually this should be a situation that only occurs when the other party is a natural dull character.

What did you just do? Before the little girl could ask, there was a strange sound on the ground not far away, as if many feet were running fast on the soil. Of course, the feet mentioned here are not human or giant insects, and the sound is more like a group of husky dog paws are racing on the land, and the movement is simply terrifying.

The strange thing is that the surrounding elves don't care about this, at most, Angellot shows a slightly puzzled expression and turns her head to look at the voice, and the rest of the people don't look nervous at all.

"What's that?" Lin Weiyin lowered her center of gravity slightly and put on a defensive posture, in this place where the light was seriously insufficient, human eyesight was greatly affected, so that the girl couldn't confirm what the owner of the voice was, "Didn't you hear that voice?"

"Of course I heard that. Angelot's expression was more relaxed, but there was a slight hint of puzzlement in her tone, "Those are groundhogs, they live around here, they can be seen often, and there is nothing harmful. However, they are very timid, and usually do not come into close contact with people, let alone gather in a group to make such a big noise. What the hell is going on?"

Lin Weiyin recalled the situation when the elf girl was looking for a place to sit down and scared away an animal, it is estimated that it should be the groundhog that the girl said, it is indeed very timid, but when these timid creatures gather and blatantly appear in front of humans or elves, what are they going to do?

After thinking about it for a long time, the little girl came to only one conclusion: these creatures were ready to expel the two-legged beasts that had invaded their territory.

"Have you ever been kicked out by those groundhog tertiers when you accidentally broke into those groundhog territory before?" Lin Weiyin, who listened to Angelott's explanation, although she relaxed her tense nerves, she still did not release her vigilance, she didn't want to be bitten by a group of rat-like creatures, "I mean, did those little guys gather into a big group and then behave angrily or aggressively, pounce on them and bite people directly?"

"No, they are docile and timid creatures that never do such things. ”

If this is not the nature of a marmot, then there is only one explanation. Lin Weiyin immediately activated the switch on the watch without hesitation, and then the watch quickly melted into a silver-white liquid, multiplying and expanding at an extremely fast speed and covering the girl's body, limbs and even the entire head, completely enveloping her.

Then the liquid began to solidify, and when it turned into metal again, it was already similar to Nangong Rong's simple individual battle armor, but the performance was much stronger than the kind of body that ordinary people could drive, and of course it was not as good as the regular power armor.

Mira's device created by using nanotechnology can [stuff] the entire armor of a soldier into it, and then unfold it for human use after activation, which is a very convenient invention. And now Lin Weiyin is extremely glad that the glasses lady has made such a convenient prop, otherwise she would not be able to deal with the emergency situation in front of her.

After the sound caused by the suspected groundhog approached a certain distance, Chenyu suddenly took the lead in giving a warning that stunned the team members: "There is an abyss reaction, everyone is ready to fight!"

Lin Weiyin, who had been prepared for a long time, was not surprised at all, but the people had infected all the leyline energy below, how could those creatures who lived here and were in contact with the world tree and leyline energy every day not be affected? However, in order to avoid being discovered by the elves, the abyss energy in the bodies of these small animals was not activated until just now.

The reaction of the guards was not unpleasant, they quickly raised their staffs or drew their Dachan Breaking daggers and took a ready stance, and the marmots in the distance, no matter how fast they ran, could not drag the battle into chaotic melee mode before they could cast their magic, and once a wave of powerful spells had passed, the outcome of the battle was basically decided.

After all, I haven't heard of any abyssal monsters with shield skills.

However, this is just a normal development, but most things in the world are abnormal, and it is full of all kinds of unexpected accidents, and this is no different.

The soil at everyone's feet was suddenly lifted, and furry creatures about the size of civets jumped out one after another, and launched a direct attack on the unprepared two-legged beasts without saying a word. These elves were not in the habit of being equipped with full-body armor like the knights of the Empire, they didn't even have leather armor, and the armor on their bodies was woven from some kind of plant fiber - strong, but it was only a vest.

The spell was interrupted before it could be cast, and the guards were scrambling to deal with the strange creatures grinding their teeth on their feet, calves, and even knees, and they were thrown into chaos on the spot.

Lin Weiyin was also held by a groundhog and gnawed there with her calf, the hair on the surface of this body was already as hard as iron, and there was a purple-red barb on the back of the monster's teeth, which were indeed very sharp, gnawing so that the metal armor burst out a little spark in the harsh friction sound.

However, after all, he failed to bite through the armor and hurt the flesh of the little girl, which was much better than the unlucky people around him who rolled on the ground with their legs covered.

The energy blade at the forearm sliced lightly across the marmot's body, slicing it in two unhindered. It can be seen that the enhancement of this monster is very limited, except that its teeth and claws are sharper, it is no different from ordinary animals, and it is obviously cannon fodder for the consumption of abyssal [quick].

Why would the enemy use the animals in front of him to attack the team at this time? There is only one answer, the other party wants this team to stay busy and not be able to take care of Nangong Rong, so that it can complete a certain goal and achieve a certain goal.

It's a pity that Lin Weiyin guessed the abyss's plan and couldn't stop the other party, a large group of groundhogs were about to rush over, and the guards couldn't effectively intercept them, and when they rushed into the team, those who were bitten on their legs and couldn't stand would be in danger of their lives, after all, some of their vital parts such as their heads and throats were unprotected.

It is true that the marmots cannot reach these parts when they are standing, but if they fall to the ground......

The little girl couldn't imagine what the scene in front of her would look like at that time, and it was probably believed that there were people on the scene of the horror movie.

As a two-legged beast girl, she naturally couldn't sit back and watch such a thing happen, so she decisively sacrificed most of the weapons on this improvised armor and beckoned to the groundhogs. As for the glowing plants that provide light around it, the roots of the World Tree that are as thick as the city walls, and the pointy-eared soldiers who are in danger nearby, what is it, and is it delicious?

After Lin Weiyin started, Octavir's side did not continue to be polite. Although the eldest princess's martial arts are half a bottle of vinegar, these groundhogs are also unable to break through the defenses when she uses her fighting energy to protect her body, and she quickly clears out the monsters that attacked her, and then joins the long-range bombing operation against them.

Of course, since Octavir did not switch the spear to artillery strike mode but kept the shape of the spear in order to cope with the most likely melee combat that would take place next, the power of her spells was far less exaggerated than Lin Weiyin's energy weapons, and most of them were used to deal with those groundhogs who had lost their ability to stand, at least without worrying about accidental injury.

It didn't take long for the collective charge from the groundhog to be beaten by Lin Weiyin's energy beam and pocket missiles, and during this time, some other animals also joined in the attack on the two-legged beast, and even the root of the World Tree with a thick arm was dyed purple red and writhed at everyone, but none of this had any effect in the explosion and the explosion and the bigger explosion.

After Lin Weiyin used her simple one-man armor to plow all the soil nearby, all the beings who dared to grin at the two-legged beast disappeared without a trace, leaving only the green smoke and flames on the ground to tell what had just happened.

"Injured people come to me for treatment. Angellot shouted to the soldiers around her after the battle, and at the same time ordered the captain of the guard who had always been by her side, "You go and drive away all the idle people who follow the noise, and now is not the time for everyone to know." ”

"Okay. You guys who haven't wiped off the oily skin, come with me. ”

After the captain of the guard left with the uninjured soldiers, Lin Weiyin didn't pay attention to Angellot, who was treating the wounded and expelling the abyssal energy, and walked straight to Octavir's side and asked seriously, "How much time have we wasted on that group of groundhogs?"

"At least ten minutes before and after, what's wrong?"

Although the infected animals are very weak, there are quite a lot of them, and it takes a lot of effort to clean them up, and it takes more than ten minutes for Lin Weiyin to blow them up with heavy firepower regardless of the possibility of accidental injuries from friendly soldiers, otherwise it will only take more time.

"Is the abyss delaying time, or do you really think that the other party intends to defeat us with those things just now?" The little girl pursed her lips with disdain, and then squatted down and stretched her fingers under Nangong Rong's nose, "Well, there is still breath, and the breathing is also very stable, and it seems that there is no danger for the time being." Ask me a question, Octavier, how long do you think mental battles usually take?"

Although the eldest princess knew very little about spiritual magic, she didn't know anything after all, she tried to recall the information she knew, and replied in an uncertain tone: "Well, the difference is too big to kill in seconds, so I won't mention this, and the strength of the two sides is similar for five to ten minutes...... Yes. ”

Lin Weiyin slapped the thick tree root vigorously and took over the conversation from Octavier, who had a sudden expression on her face: "That's right, it's been ten minutes now, and it stands to reason that the two sides should have already decided the winner." But judging from the current state of Dear Ernie sauce, this is not the case at all. ”

As long as the winner is divided, there should be a corresponding reaction, the winner is as sober as everyone else, the loser is tired and decadent and can't beat his spirit, and the body of the person who falls in the battle will die on the spot, where will he be asleep like Nangong Rong?

"If you want me to say, is his spirit trapped in it?" Octavier also expressed great concern about the boy's condition, this kid didn't look like he was fighting to the death with the will of the abyss, he seemed too calm, "For example, illusions or something, don't they often appear in various works?"

"Hey, you're from the magic side, right, it really doesn't matter what is in the movies and works on the science side?"

The eldest princess couldn't help but scratch her scalp in embarrassment when she heard this: "Ahaha, it's not because I'm not familiar with it." Users of psychic magic are already extremely rare, and there are not many records in the literature, so how can I know the specifics? But if Nangong Rong is really lost in the illusion, we might be able to try to wake him up?"

Did you use some special magic to get him out of the predicament? After thinking that as a royal Octavier, she would definitely secretly carry some life-saving props, Lin Weiyin suddenly became interested: "Oh, then what are you going to do?"

"Directly shake Nangong Rong's body......"

"Dismissed!"
