Chapter 42: Midnight Beast Attack
Lydia runs on the ice with a broadsword in her hand, her body light and athletic, her slender legs tightly wrapped in leather full of strength and beauty, like an elk crossing a cliff.
George, who had a high fever and did not retreat, followed closely and was not in a hurry to reach the front line of the battle. The magician, who was already good at long-range attacks, followed Lydia to take refuge, and began to chant in his mouth: "Ice and snow elves bathed in the aurora, please listen to me......"
It was close, and even if Lydia was prepared, she couldn't help but gasp.
The moonlight is like a lamp, and there are dark traces on the pure white and flawless layer of snow, which is undoubtedly blood. Seven or eight demonic beasts of different shapes surrounded Jeff, who was covered in blood and faced the snow without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and among the demonic beasts around, Lydia recognized at a glance that there was a row of barbs behind one of the ears, the long nose hung down to his chest, and his eyes were squeezed until only one was left with an ugly slit: the sixth-order earth-based Daggs beast. "Dagts" means "ugly and powerful monster" in the Heean language, and Lydia has only seen the real body when the adventure party handed over the mission to the mercenary guild!
Sixth-order demonic beasts, in the heyday of the adventure team, she had to avoid its edge, and without the presence of a great magician or a high-level swordsman, no one could guarantee safety.
And that's just one of them...... Lydia saw that the Daggs beast flicked its long nose to slap on Jeff, and secretly cursed that the damn Jeff didn't know what he was provoking, his toes were on the ground, and with the power of running, the person had already jumped high and slashed towards the sixth-order Daggs beast with his sword.
There was a hint of amusement in the eyes of the Daggs beast as it was squeezed, and a blow of this magnitude could only be regarded as harassment in its eyes at best, not enough to make it stand for it. Daggs flicked its proboscis and prepared to knock the great sword away and pull out the "claws" of Lydia's attack.
The sword is like a rainbow, Lydia has already passed the intermediate swordsman assessment, and the senior swordsman who takes the academic route may not be able to win against her in actual combat - that is the experience of watering blood after experiencing life and death, and has long jumped out of the routine of sword moves.
Practicality is far more important than flashy moves!
Seeing that Daggs wanted to draw the sword in her hand, Lydia rolled on the spot to avoid the attacking long nose, and the momentum of the big sword in her hand continued unabated, changing from force to sweep, swinging towards the forelimbs of Daggsmon.
The intermediate swordsman had already cultivated his fighting spirit in his body, and Lydia had a lot of strength in one blow with all his strength, and this sword was cut solidly, and the rough-skinned Daggs beast could not escape the fate of severed limbs.
Lydia, who was rolling on the spot, surprised Daggsmon, the sixth-order demonic beast already had wisdom, and before Lydia's sword was implemented, a thick earthen wall appeared out of thin air in front of Daggsmon.
Unlike human magicians, Warcraft can have several magical affinities at the same time, and they only account for one of the five natural elements, although they can't drive other natural magic elements, they must be the most proficient in their innate talent attributes! George needs to chant to cast his magic, and the earth-based Daggs beast wants an earthen wall, so it's really just a thought.
Lydia slashed with a sword, the sharp blade of the sword slashed into the earthen wall, her wrist flicked, and the part of the big sword that sank into the earthen wall stirred rapidly, and the earthen wall had cracked-
"Let the water freeze, let the ice be the blade that breaks the darkness...... Ice Arrow, go! ”
Lydia didn't want to fight and drew her sword and retreated, the short confrontation between one man and one beast ended, George's chant was just over, the young magician waved his hand, and a canopy of ice arrows that appeared out of thin air shot towards the earthen wall, and there was a dense shot along the same part that Lydia had broken, "Tu, Tu, Tu", the front of the cracked earth wall collapsed, and the eyes of the Daggs beast huddled together in the thick wall tried to widen, staring at Lydia siblings in disbelief.
It had an ice arrow stuck in its shoulder, and blood spilled along the crystal arrow's body, and an intermediate swordsman and two-star mage actually injured it?!
The Daggs beast was shocked and ashamed, and several of the demonic beasts who were "watching the play" on the side, after a short period of shock, couldn't help but laugh.
It's just that humans don't understand the laughter of Warcraft, and it smells harsh and unpleasant to the ears of Lydia's sisters and brothers, and it is more like Lydia and George's tacit agreement to hurt Daggsmon that angered the Warcraft community.
Lydia was about to take advantage of the victory, George's body was even weaker after performing his magic during his illness, and his body shook and his feet were slippery on the ice, and the young magician was about to fall into the "dog gnawing on the ice", and the burly swordsman who came later grabbed him behind him.
Pulling George to the side to safety, the burly swordsman stepped forward a few meters and stood side by side with Lydia.
The wide-backed long sword in his hand looked cold and cold in the moonlight on a snowy night, and the right arm holding the sword was strong and powerful, and the tight muscles under the armor could be vaguely imagined.
This scumbag-overgrown burly man, usually taciturn, is very low-key in the team, and will not steal the limelight from Lydia, only when he stands up, you will find the compelling momentum on his body, which should be more accurately described as "killing intent".
Lydia leads the adventuring team through danger, a burly man named "Arnold" is from a notorious mercenary team, Lydia has killed many magical beasts, and the killing intent on Arnold's body is obviously piled up by human blood.
All in all, this is a reassuring partner, and when the two stand side by side, Lydia feels a little more confident.
"Let him go."
Arnold pointed at Jeff behind the monster with the tip of his sword, he knew that high-level monsters were intelligent, and even if they couldn't talk to people, they could understand people's speech.
Daggs pulled out the ice arrow that pierced his shoulder with his teeth, and couldn't figure out where the three people in front of him got the confidence? Well, it admits that it was injured by a mistake, and the man who came in the end was also the strongest of the three, but they still had several companions who didn't make a move, isn't this muscular man too arrogant?
The ridicule of its companions was very unacceptable to Daggsmon, and more importantly, there was a crowd of onlookers, and the story of it being injured by an intermediate swordsman and two-star magician would soon spread throughout the corners of the Moroch Mountains afterwards, and when he thought of that scene, Daggs Beast really wanted to bury his head in the snow for the rest of his life.
The dwarf of the Silver Wolf King's family has a saying, you can't kill people, you have to drag people into the water to make people unable to open their mouths. Daggsmon's sluggish brain struggled to open up, ignoring Arnold's arrogance, pretending to be enraged, and flicking its nose to push a fifth-order Montamon watching the excitement from the side...... Mutamon screamed in anger, and Arnold and Lydia's tacit battle instinct drove them both to attack Muntamon at the same time.
Pity the fifth-order demonic beast that is also earth-based, petite, and does not conform to the name of "Monta" at all, wants to cry without tears, the fifth-order has just opened its spiritual intelligence, and it is not as cunning as the Daggs beast, and will only instantly cover the surface of the body with "stone armor", and resist with the big sword in the hands of the flesh body and Lydia.
The two swords slashed a solid knot, the gold and stone collided and sparks splashed everywhere, the stone armor resisted the strength of a thousand catties and was still unharmed, Montamon took two steps back, and after being bullied by the Dags beast that was higher than it, he really dared to be angry and dare not speak!
Arnold crouched slightly, and Lydia had already stepped on his lowered arm and leaped up, aiming for the fifth-order Montamon.
The latter had retreated into the Warcraft team, and Lydia's attack, although she was chasing after the victory, had also cut off her own way out.
The lifeless attack method picked up the Monta Beast, and the little monster that had just opened its wisdom was hurt by this practice of "picking soft persimmons and pinching", and for a while forgot the instructions of the commander behind it, and was furious, and no longer had much reservation to attack.
It stomped heavily on its front hooves, and the ground shook all around.
The place where the three of them fought was originally the frozen river, but now the ice broke in an instant, and the magician George who fell behind stepped on the air and had already fallen into the ice cave, and was swept away by the river before he could cast his magic.
Annoyed by Montamon's indiscriminate group attack, the beasts jumped ashore before the ice was broken, and before leaving, Daggs didn't forget to roll up his long nose and throw Jeff, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, into the snowdrift on the shore.
Lydia's attack missed, and Muntamon stepped on the stump of earth that suddenly rose from under her feet and retreated ashore, but the female captain jumped on the broken ice to stabilize her figure.
Then she discovers that George is gone.
Tough as Lydia, her eyes were black, and she almost fell into the ice river.
The ice is firm, and George who is caught up in the ice on the river is seriously ill, how can he have the strength to knock open the ice to survive? She can't breathe underwater, even if she and Arnold don't necessarily survive, let alone her younger brother of a magician who is good at long-range attacks and has a weak body......
Lydia's mind was full of her brother who was swept away by the river, ignoring the monsters behind her and Jeff, who was waiting for her to save her life, and turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the lower reaches of the glacier.
Arnold broke off, vigilantly guarding against the sneak attack behind the monster, and also ran downstream with Lydia.
Leaving a few demonic beasts looking at each other, they all looked at the "Monta Beast" with angry eyes, and the generous and majestic little Monta shrunk his neck and trembled.
The Warcraft are so entangled, is this considered to be a complete task?
The bald Uncle Sam on the other side of the river had his hair tangled up and fell out in an instant, the captain and Arnold went to save George, and Jeff didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so close to him was left alone to face many high-level demonic beasts...... The god of light is above, and he is willing to faint!
Uncle Sam really wants to learn from Jeff and bury the whole person in the snowdrift.
…………
Lydia doesn't necessarily run much slower than a deer when she's running at full strength, and the water doesn't necessarily flow much faster when it's hidden under the ice in winter.
She didn't give up hope.
Arnold caught up with her, and the two of them occupied both sides of the river, running in search of her downstream.
Thankfully, the moon was clear tonight, and the surface of the glacier was unobstructed, and through the translucent ice, you should be able to see the color of the mage robe that George was wearing.
Lydia kept her eyes glued to the river for fear that she would miss her opportunity, but her feet did not slow down.
Arnold clenched the hilt of his sword, ready to break the ice at any time to save people, but after running so far, neither of them found any trace of George.
The sound of rushing water was heard, and Lydia gasped for breath and didn't dare to stop.
The huge flow of water, the extremely high drop can produce such a big washing sound, damn it, is it a waterfall in advance!
At the thought that George might have fallen off the waterfall, Lydia didn't know how to convince herself of how the sick and frail young man could survive the pressure.
"Lydia!"
Seeing that Lydia was still rushing in the direction of the waterfall, Arnold shouted.
Lydia slumped to the low cliff, her eyes bloodshot and chapped lips that had been bitten out with her teeth.
She tried to resist the urge to jump off the waterfall at once, and forced herself to calm down: "Arnold, the pool under the waterfall is deep enough, George may still be alive, I will go down to find him." ”
Arnold stepped forward to help her up, knowing that telling the truth would only make the strong Lydia break down immediately - if George died, he wished that he would never find the body, and Lydia had a thought.
Lydia climbed up with Arnold's sword on her back, her face covered in weather.
The two were about to find their way down to the waterfall, but there was a girl's laughter above their heads:
"Are you looking for someone?"
There are some stiff Xiyi words, and it is a sound quality that makes people feel bad.
Lydia and the others looked at the source of the sound, and a large banyan tree grew on the edge of the cliff on one side of the waterfall, and the branches were half above the waterfall, and half of them were sticking out of the direction of the cliff. On the branches, a tall girl bathed in the moonlight, her facial features are illuminated by the moonlight, like an elf appearing in the forest.
The girl held her cheeks and leaned down condescendingly and asked:
"Now, are you looking for someone?"
