Chapter 60: There is no way back
The ground beneath Arthur's feet shook violently, and then a sudden burst open, and a behemoth leaped out of the ground.
It was a five- or six-meter-long pangolin-like beast, with a long pointed snout, covered with thick scales, and only two small closed slits left where its head should have eyes.
"It's a licking beast!" Ollie exclaimed.
When Arthur was in the Dwarven Kingdom, he already knew that there was a huge unknown world underground, and all kinds of creatures lived in this world. Because they live in the dark underworld, many creatures have completely degraded their eyesight, but they can also rely on other organs to forage and hunt.
On the back of the monster called the licking beast by the elves, there was also a dark elf holding the reins, but I didn't expect this huge licking beast to be the mount of a thin dark elf.
Arthur, who had been prepared for a long time, launched the first attack the moment the Licking Eater jumped out, and the Starfall Sword burst out with three or four feet of fighting energy, and slashed at the Licking Eater's head head-on.
Arthur's full force only broke through the Licking Beast's scale armor, leaving a shallow wound on its head.
The Licking Eater slid away from its head with a flick of its head, and then suddenly opened its mouth, shooting out a bright red tongue from its mouth, which was so fast and fast that Arthur had no chance to withdraw his sword and return to defend before he was stabbed in the chest.
Arthur's body flew upside down, as if it was pierced directly in the chest by a sharp spear, if it weren't for the ninth-level scale armor protection, Arthur's body would have been directly penetrated by this blow.
Joan's flaming whip followed Arthur's attack and whipped into the Licking Beast's massive body, but his flames couldn't even break through the Licking Beast's scale armor. With a flick of her wrist, Joan manipulated the flaming whip from attacking the Licking Beast to rolling towards the Dark Elf on its back.
The Dark Elf's movements were extremely nimble, and with a swipe to the side, it turned to the side of the Licking Beast's body, using the Licking Beast's body to block the blow for himself. Joan's flaming whip swept through, and the dark elf's body instantly straightened up, and two short black spears shot at Joan like lightning.
The spear pierced Joan's flame shield and stabbed him in the chest, so frightened that Joan almost forgot to dodge.
At the critical moment, Sino made a move, and with two clanging sounds, the two short spears were knocked off.
The Dark Elf had urged the Licking Beast to pounce on Joan and Shino, the Licking Beast's spiked snout used to break through the rocks sharper than a rare spear, and a stab in the body would definitely pierce the entire body.
In the face of the licking beast that almost pounced in front of him, Sino waved his hand and slashed out with a sword of practice.
The licking beast's long snout and entire skull were completely sliced open by the sword, and brown blood was thrown to the ground. But the dark elf jumped off the back of the Beast the moment it was split.
The fierce battle between the two sides actually only took place between the lightning and flint, and as soon as Sino killed the licking beast in front of him with a sword, without a moment's respite, the second licking beast jumped out from the side, and then followed by the third.
After licking the beasts, there were short, swift figures, each of them dressed in armor and holding two swords, like sharp arrows shooting at Arthur and Shino.
What came out of the ground before was only the lowest-level cannon fodder among the dark elves, but now these are the truly elite dark elf warriors.
The melee happened in an instant, Arthur directly released the strongest fighting qi technique, the fiery red fighting qi long sword slashed a licking beast with a sword, and then fell into the siege of four or five dark elf warriors. These elven warriors are all intermediate elves equivalent to the Terran warriors, although they are not at the same level as Arthur in terms of strength, but their speed is not slower than Arthur at all, and several elves are flying up and down around Arthur and attacking non-stop.
Next to Arthur, Joan, the long whip of fire in one hand was swinging in a circle to stop the dark elves from approaching, and the other hand shot fireballs like cannons to kill. The dark elves may have a natural fear of fire, and they are afraid to get close to Joan, and the more option is to throw a spear to sneak attack, which keeps Joan in a high state of tension.
Shino wasn't as easy as he used to be, he had to quickly kill the licking beasts that burst out of the ground, otherwise these guys would be a huge threat to the others. During this period, the dark elf warriors continued to carry out long-range sneak attacks on him, although most of these attacks could not even break his protective fighting energy, but they did not tire of it, and every killing blow to the licking beast quickly consumed his fighting energy.
As more and more Dark Elf warriors burst out of the ground, they had bypassed the three of Shino, Arthur, and Joan in front of them, and pounced on Ollie and Spence who were standing behind.
Perhaps because the dark elves hated the elves on the ground more, many sharp spears were fired at Ollie. Ollie returned fire with only two arrows before he was shot and fell to the ground.
Spence had to pull Ollie behind him and quickly swing his broadsword to protect Ollie and Arya at the same time, and he began to feel the strain.
"Let's go, there's even more powerful ones behind them!" Ollie, who fell to the ground, snapped up.
It's no longer as simple as cleaning up those Tootheaters, and with Shino, a few of them are absolutely not capable of dealing with a branch of the elves.
"I'll hold these elves for you for a while, and you go up first. Shino let out a low roar, and the long sword in his hand shook at a high frequency, and with each shake, a small condensed sword qi of an inch long shot out from the sword, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of sword qi flew out.
Although the sword qi is small, the degree of condensation of the fighting qi of each sword is almost equivalent to the full force of the warrior!
The screams were continuous, and after a single sword, the dark elf warriors on the battlefield were almost cleared, and even the huge licking beasts were pierced through their bodies by dozens of swords and almost stabbed into a sieve.
The reason why it is said that the warrior is the key to deciding the outcome of the war on the battlefield is because of this extremely terrifying group attack and killing ability.
"You guys get out of here!"
Spence took the broadsword on his back and grabbed Arya and Ollie one by one under his body and flew directly towards the roots of the Sky Elf Mother Tree. Joan also flew up after Spence.
Only Arthur, who has no ability to fly, is still on the ground waiting for Shino to take him up with him for a while.
Spence flew to the bottom of the tendrils and was stunned for a moment, looking at the dozens of floating tendrils around him, he couldn't tell which one it came from?
All of the roots are covered in a protective green light, and it is impossible to see from the outside that there is an entrance in any of them.
"How many ways can we go back around here?" asked Spence Ollie, who was caught underneath.
"Although there are many paths that can be down, there is only one near here that we can come out."
In a hurry, Spence could only try one by one, and Joan, who saw the problem, also began to try along, but the two tried more than a dozen tendrils in a row, but none of them could get in.
The ground that had just been cleared, there were licking beasts and elf warriors constantly popping up, and the combat power was obviously a notch higher than before, just now there was a dark elf who escaped Shino's sword.
"What are you still rubbing on it?" Shino couldn't help but yell.
"We can't go back!" Elf Ollie's almost desperate cry rang out in everyone's ears.
