Chapter Seventy-Nine: Attack in the Night
Starry sky, white tents dotted the woodland, late at night, the camp was silent, save only the occasional sound of war horses and the distant sounds of insects.
The small tent with three beds is a little cramped.
Loren slept on the very edge, covered with a quilt, listening to the insects in the distance, and for a while he was so heavy that he couldn't sleep, and just when he was tossing and turning, Avril on the side said softly: "What, can't you sleep?"
"Hmm. β
Loren lay on her back, looked at the top of the tent, and said, "I'm a little uneasy, I always feel ...... Tonight won't be so peaceful. β
"Don't worry. β
Avril smiled and said, "This place is at least five hundred miles away from the frontal battlefield of the Demon Beast Legion, and we have a thousand people on the right track with us to accompany us, they are all good at hunting demon beasts, nothing should happen this night, even if there is, isn't there still Boss Gerald?"
"Old drunkards may not be reliable. β
On the side, Lin Ke, who was lying on his side, said softly: "He is already drunk today, if there is really any change, I think we should be safer on our own." β
"Hmm!"
Luo Lan nodded: "Lin Ke is right!"
Lin Ke smiled, turned around, raised his head to look at Luo Lan, and said, "Hey, when you followed Lord Catherine's practice, did she ignore your things about magic?"
"Nope. Luo Lan shook his head and said, "Teacher Catherine is just a martial cultivator, how can she teach me about demon cultivation." β
"Not necessarily. β
Lin Ke put his hands behind his head and said: "There is no real barrier between martial cultivation and demon cultivation, when a cultivator reaches a certain realm, there may be no difference between martial cultivation and demon cultivation, his understanding of the elements has gone beyond the scope of mortals, he can call for a storm, and he can also cut through the mountains with a sword, and Lord Catherine is already very close to that point." β
Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, remembering Catherine's teaching in the volcano, just like Lin Ke said, in fact, Catherine was deliberately guiding Luo Lan to embark on the path of demon cultivation, that experience was more about the mastery of the elements, rather than the polishing of the strength, agility, and skills of the martial artist, Lin Ke said this, which showed that she understood more thoroughly.
"Ahem......"
On the side, Avril coughed lightly, and suddenly Loren realized that everything Catherine taught was a secret and could not be told to others, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "Sleepy, sleep, Avril, Lin Ke, good night." β
"Well, good night. β
The two girls nodded, and stopped talking, quietly, and even their breathing became much smoother.
......
As a result, before he could fall asleep, a chaotic sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside, followed by a knight's hurried voice: "Lord Gerald, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
In the tent next to him, the old drunkard seemed to have woken up from his drunken dream.
"The scout team led by the Knight Xiuning was ambushed in the mountains to the west, and we saw their distress fireworks a while ago, but none of them returned, and they must have been wiped out. β
"How so?"
The old knight lifted the tent and went out, and said, "Give the order, the first battalion will go with me, and the rest of the men will guard the camp, be on guard, and wake everyone up, for we will not be able to sleep peacefully this night." β
"Yes, sir!"
Inside the tent.
Luo Lan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Something happened!"
"Hmm. β
On the side, the two girls also sat up, they both slept in their clothes, wearing close-fitting short skirts, soft armor put aside, Luo Lan dressed quickly, put on soft armor and jumped out with a snake sword, put on combat boots outside, and then gently tugged, draped the gray cloak worn by the big knight behind him, only to see that everyone woke up, and the old knight Gerard had already turned over and got on the horse, his face was very solemn.
"Lord Gerald!"
Luo Lan frowned and said, "Do you need us to go together?"
"Come on. β
The old drunkard raised his eyebrows and said, "The little guys of the elite battalion, if you are not afraid of death, come with me, and let's go together to see what kind of thing dares to attack our scout team." β
"Yes!"
......
The eight members of the elite battalion squad were all ready to go, the moonlight shone on the armor and blades, glowing with a terrifying cold light, and Loran had already tied the snake sword behind him, so as not to affect the horse forward, with Gerald's order, the group galloped away, and galloped towards a dark mountain forest on the west side under the guidance of several knights.
The sound of horses' hooves was hurried, and behind him, a group of knights lit torches one after another, illuminating the small area of the road ahead, and after everyone had marched forward for less than ten kilometers, Gerald sniffed his nose, and already smelled a strong smell of blood, and immediately jumped up, and his body turned into a white afterimage and rushed to the mountainside in front: "It's there." β
"Found it!"
Luo Lan turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and pulled out the Savage Snake Sword and rushed over, the strength of the flesh exploded, and the wind broke away with a "snort", the speed was only one line lower than that of Gerald, and the results of refining the flesh in the Hundred Refining Tower were remarkable, so that even leaders like Rodney and Lin Ke lost to him in terms of speed.
"Wow-"
Ahead, Gerald stopped suddenly, the long sword in his hand shook, and the flames swirled, like a huge torch illuminating everything around him, and in the direction of his gaze, there was a corpse lying in the forest, a sentry horseman, whose body had been bitten into three pieces, and the flesh was blurred, and the death was extremely tragic, and a faint layer of frost had formed in the place where it was to be bitten.
"My lord, there's a corpse here. β
On the left, a knight with a torch in his hand had a solemn face, and not far from him, half of the corpse lay there, the head and upper body had been bitten off, leaving only the body below the waist and a pair of severed arms, and even the plate armor he was wearing had been bitten through, and the frost was condensed on it, sizzling with icy gas.
"This ......"
Gerald flew over, leaned over and touched the frost on the broken armor, then sniffed the smell, his eyes were cold, and said: "It's the frost lizard, a fourth-order demon beast, and there is more than one, everyone be careful! The frost lizard is a social demon beast, and there will be at least twenty or more of them in a frost lizard group!"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind.
"Someone has been attacked!" shouted someone from behind.
"Let's go!"
Gerald let out a long roar, and the star source power around him exploded, turning into an afterimage and disappearing in front of the eyes of the students, at this moment his speed was really fully opened, at least 4-5 times that of Luo Lan, this explosive power and speed directly made Luo Lan dumbfounded, and only after a few seconds did he come back to his senses, and immediately rushed over with the Snake Sword.
......
In the rear, the knights of nearly 100 people were in chaos, and under the light of the torches, a behemoth appeared in the jungle, it was the frost lizard, full of azure aura, and a pair of brown eyes stared at the human race in front of them, as if they were staring at the prey, and this was a group of frost lizards, and there were more than thirty frost lizards in front of them.
"Brute!"
Gerald roared suddenly, his figure was indescribably vigorous, and his two-handed sword fell from the sky, directly penetrating a frost lizard chasing a knight from the top of his head, "Peng" A burst of fire, the entire head of this frost lizard was burned and exploded, and he died tragically on the spot, and the knight it was chasing had already broken off a hand, and his face was full of horror: "My lord, I ......"
"Lift your wounded hand!" Gerald snorted.
"Yes......"
He hurriedly raised his hand, and in the next second, Gerald suddenly swept a sword, "click", and suddenly the knight's arm was cut off from the elbow, and half of his arm fell like this, but he actually endured the severe pain, and fell under a tree without saying a word, holding the wounded soldier tightly, his face turned pale.
"The saliva of the frost lizard is rare and highly poisonous, there is no cure, once it is bitten, it must be dealt with decisively, otherwise the venom will flow all over the body with the blood, and it will really be difficult to save the immortals. Gerard said lightly.
"Yes, thank you...... Thank you, sir!"
The wounded knight nodded.
"Protect the wounded!"
Gerald turned around, raised his long sword, and said, "The rest of the people with combat power, come with me to kill this group of demon beasts!"
"Sonorous sonorous ~~~"
Rodney, Caroline, Avril, Parker, and the others drew their swords, while Lorrain confronted a stout frost lizard, and in a moment of astonishment, he swept in and slashed at the lizard's head.
"Hiss~~"
The frost lizard hissed, turned to dodge, and squirted a mouthful of green saliva at Loraine.
"Be careful!" Gerald yelled, "Saliva is poisonous!"
And at this moment, those saliva splashed and bounced off Luo Lan's body surface 20-30 centimeters, and at some point, he had already condensed a dense and impermeable wind guard, which was enough to deal with this level of demon beast attack.
At the same time as the frost lizard spewed toxin, Luo Lan suddenly jumped up, flashing over the lizard's head like lightning, and at the same time, the snake sword slashed downward, "snort", and the frost lizard below immediately howled, and the entire body was split in two.
The Snake Sword is really sharp!
"Be careful, they're coming!"
Gerald let out a low snort, and suddenly blasted out a sword, and suddenly a "snort" set off a rain of fire in the sky, and "crackled" and fell on the top of the heads of the frost lizard group, making these giant beasts with rich frost power in their bodies continue to howl miserably, and they were burned by the fire rain and rolled again and again, and at the same time, more than a dozen giant beasts broke through Gerald's attack and pounced directly on the crowd.
"It's coming!"
Lin Ke looked into the distance with a pair of beautiful eyes, and suddenly raised his palm, and the two six-pointed stars converged together, and at the same time chanted in his mouth: "O scorching flame elf, obey my summonsβFlame Rock Burst!"
"Peng!"
A sharp flame boulder broke through the ground, directly knocking over a frost lizard, and the abdomen was bleeding nonstop, but it was only injured but not fatal, but more ferociously killed.
