Chapter 19: Comprehension in Battle
Even if Xu Mo didn't know much about Azeroth's magic system, he knew that the magic that Luo Ning was casting now could definitely not be quicksand, or even earth-based magic, it should be water-based or ice-based magic.
Excluding Luo Ning's deliberate framing of Xu Mo, there is only one possibility, the mage made a mistake with the magic spell.
"Knowing that Luo Ning had a magic accident, I would still believe this unreliable nerdy mage!" Xu Mo even regretted his intestines.
During the rapid sliding, Xu Mo discovered that in addition to the wrong type, Luo Ning's magic was really a high-level ice magic. Centered on the flashpoint of the magic just now, a glacial world was turned into a radius of 100 meters. Not only did the mud on the shore of the lake turn into solid ice, but even the surrounding trees were condensed with a layer of milky white frost, and countless crystal Xiaoice cones hung from the branches.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Mo thrust the San Cisse Nightmare into the ice, intending to slow down the speed of his sliding. But a strong wind sound immediately came from the back of his head, and Xu Mo turned his head to look, and immediately his soul flew out of the sky. He was so confused by Luo Ning that he actually forgot that there was another huge creature behind him.
Not counting a pair of scythe forelegs, the Dreadclaw Stonecube also has six hind limbs. However, its weight was too great, and in the rapid pursuit, not to mention six arthropods, even sixteen arthropods could not stop its huge and heavy body, rolling and quickly pressing towards Xu Mo who was lying on the ground.
"Ahh Xu Mo let out a loud cry, twisted the Nightmare of San Cise on the ice, and relied on the strength of his one arm to knock his body sideways. At the same time, he kicked his legs the ground, and finally changed the direction of his body's gliding, allowing himself to break away from the sliding crush of the dreadclaw stone monster laterally.
Xu Mo's eyes watched the approach of the Dreadclaw Stone Monster without blinking, and he was always ready to use the smoke transformation skill to avoid being really crushed by that huge body. With Xu Mo's health, he would definitely not be able to withstand the crushing of the Dreadclaw Stone Monster.
Luckily, the Dreadclaw Stonecube slid past him within a stone's throw of distance. Perhaps inspired by Xu Mo's use of the Saint Cisse Nightmare to control his body, the Dreadclaw Stonecube raised a scythe and plunged its forefoot into the ice while rolling.
In Xu Mo's instantly dilated pupils, the forefoot of the sickle struck between his legs~ like an ice axe, and the distance from his life~ root was only ten centimeters at most. At this moment, Xu Mo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and there was even a moment of blankness in his mind.
However, the dreadclaw stone monster was in a hurry after all, and because of its heavy weight, the front end of the scythe brought up a cloud of ice chips, but it still couldn't stop the rolling. But the blow it had just done wasn't without effect, at least it had slowed down the glide considerably.
When the Dreadclaw Stonecube raised its scythe forefoot for the second time, a long arrow with an emerald green fighting spirit roared and flew in, "Bang! With a thud, it exploded on the dreadclaw's forefoot, preventing it from continuing to tap on the ice.
The frightened Xu Mo saw this scene and came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that Luo Ning's use of the wrong magic was not useless. The mage was already standing by the lake, and when he cast this ice magic, the dreadclaw stone monster was less than twenty meters away from the shore of the lake. And now the dreadclaw stone is rolling towards the lake, and one of its hind limbs has even touched the water.
"Boom!" The dreadclaw stone monster finally tumbled into the lake, stirring up a wave that was not too small or small.
"It's finally done!" Watching the dreadclaw stone monster struggle in the shallow water by the lake, Xu Mo collapsed on the ice like a deflated ball, calming his violently beating heart. There was a sharp pain in his right shoulder, which he must have dislocated when he forcibly changed direction and twisted the Nightmare of San Cice.
Although it was only a shallow area, and the lake water could not even submerge the upper body of the Dreadclaw Stone Monster, Xu Mo knew that it would not be able to come up. The thick rock formation covered by this monster's body, which was originally its greatest strength, has now become its greatest fatal wound. The more it struggled, the more it sank into the mud and couldn't extricate itself.
Soft and strong, the powerful power of the Dreadclaw Stone Monster to split mountains and rocks, is powerless in the face of the lake and silt that has nowhere to focus, and cannot even save its life. Recalling his graceful dance steps under the blade of the Dreadclaw Stone Monster just now, a kind of realization rose in Xu Mo's heart.
Perhaps invincible speed is not the strongest pace of battle, leaving the right amount of energy to maneuver and change, and it is possible to make your steps more comfortable and unpredictable.
Lying on the ground for a while, Xu Mo propped up his body with one hand and walked towards the lake, Bridget on the other side staggered with a shield, and at the same time, Wen Leisha also walked out of the woods, holding on to the trunk of the tree.
Bridget has messy hair, a pale face, and dry lips with obvious detachment. Wen Leisha, on the other hand, trembled slightly with her hands, and the fingers of her right hand were full of blisters, which was caused by too violently urging the fighting spirit on her fingers.
The three of them looked at the dreadclaw stone monster that was still struggling in the lake, smiled bitterly, and then glared at someone at the same time. Although the battle has been won, it does not mean that someone can escape responsibility. This battle was won by pure luck, and had nothing to do with someone's erroneous magic.
Luo Ning shrunk his neck, looked at the three companions approaching him with gloomy faces, and couldn't help but apologize with a sad face, "The quicksand technique is indeed very similar to the magic chant of the frozen earth, I haven't used these two magic for a long time, and there are occasional mistakes." ”
"Do you know that the three of us are fighting for our lives, if the person who attracted the Dreadclaw Stone Monster just now was not Cole, the other Stalkers would have died a long time ago!" Wen Leisha poked at Ronin's head and scolded angrily.
"No wonder the scourge known as Dalaran is really the best at harming his companions!" Bridget sneered and sarcastically. As a soldier, she is the most intolerant of carelessness on the battlefield and almost caused the death of her companions.
"Cole, I'm sorry!" Luo Ning was silent for a moment, and apologized to Xu Mo with a gloomy gaze.
"Luo Ning, your magic is very powerful, you are a good mage, but not a good warrior!" Xu Mo shook his head, this battle, he was not actually in danger of his life, but it was one of the most thrilling battles he had ever experienced.
"If there's a fight next, you can't say anything more. For other things, we can trust you, but in combat missions, you have proven with actual performance, that you are not trustworthy. You just have to take care of Amy...... Hey, what about Amira? ”
Hearing Xu Mo's question, everyone looked at each other, the battle just now was too tense, and they actually forgot about the existence of the dwarf girl. As several people were looking for Amira everywhere, there was a slight tremor on the ground.
"Oops, it's another Dreadclaw Stone, the dwarves are probably dead, and the Dreadclaw Stoner has come looking for its companions." Xu Mo's face changed, and he didn't care about looking for the dwarf girl anymore, and led everyone to retreat towards the lake.
"Chirp!" The roar of the Dreadclaw Stone Monster rang out in the lakeside forest, "Boom! "This was followed by the sound of trees falling.
"Hey, that dreadclaw stone monster seems to be fighting!" Winetha stopped suddenly, listening carefully to the distant voices.
"Let's go, let's go!" Bridget's eyes flashed, and she led the way into the woods......
However, before everyone could go far, another dreadclaw stone monster had already run out of the woods, and to everyone's great surprise, it was actually followed by those few dwarven miners who had escaped?!
The dwarven miner brandished his duckbill hoe in his hand and whistled excitedly, who the hell is chasing whom? The four of them looked at the scene in front of them and were dumbfounded.
"That, that, that...... Isn't it mugwort...... Amira! Luo Ning's eyes suddenly widened and he stammered.
"Emira, where?" Xu Mo followed Luo Ning's fingers, and immediately jumped up on the spot, his heart rose to his throat, "Ah...... Yes! ”
On the triangular head of the dreadclaw stone, there are two chubby little hands, one holding its head on one side, two small short legs riding on the slightly slender neck of the dreadclaw stone, and the barrel-like body jumps up and down with the dreadclaw stone's movement, isn't it the dwarf girl Amira?
Stalker, Ranger, Knight, Mage, the four professional powerhouses looked at the dwarf girl who was riding on the Dreadclaw Stone, screaming excitedly, obviously Amira was riding the Dreadclaw Stone as a griffin.
Suddenly, all four of them had a feeling of tears streaming down their faces, what was this, the dreadclaw stone monster they had killed was actually ridden by a dwarf girl with only a child's mind as a griffin......
At the same time, the four of them all had irrepressible curiosity in their hearts, with Amira's fleshy ball body, what method did she use to climb onto this four-meter-tall "big mantis"?
