In the crystal bottle, the liquid is red, not bright red or dark red like blood, but orange-red like flames. Even when the orange-red liquid rests steadily on the ground, it is constantly churning slightly, and even those who don't know magic can clearly feel the devastating power contained in it.
With an innocent smile on her face, Vivien's finger lightly pointed to the red crystal bottle, and the liquid in the crystal bottle suddenly began to glow, and the bottle body rose smoothly and slowly as if it was being held by an invisible hand, and came to the top of the head of the dinosaur imprisoned in the middle of the four boulders.
"Say goodbye to the world. Vivien waved her hand at the boulder pile and made a goodbye gesture. The orange-red crystal bottle, which had lost the support of the magic hand, fell rapidly under the effect of gravity, and although it was quickly obscured by the raised rock, the crisp sound of the crystal bottle shattering could still be heard.
With a loud "boom", a huge pillar of fire rose into the sky. The energy of the explosion was supposed to spread rapidly in all directions, but because of the surrounding four rocks, the energy could not be vented, so it could only continue to squeeze inward, and then erupt from the only vent above. As the pillar of fire erupted, there were also a large number of charred corpse fragments, and a pungent smell of burnt paste filled the air.
The huge pillar of fire lasted for about thirty seconds, and then disappeared as abruptly as it had appeared. When the pillar of fire was gone, Lina tapped the ground, and the ground shook slightly, and the raised rocks shook and sank back into the ground, never to be seen again, leaving only the dry leaves that had been burned to ashes on the ground, and the charred corpses of demonic beasts.
"Four. Dora looked around: "Strange, in terms of the cunning level of the dinosaur, the other four hidden in the shadows will definitely sneak up on us, why haven't they been?"
"Don't worry about that. Catherine stuck her one-handed sword on the ground, stared at the surrounding bushes, and took out a cloth to gently wipe the acid and flesh on the shield: "No creature will be able to sneak up on us now, you can fight with confidence." ”
"Because of Pennis?" said Dora with some surprise, "You trust the strength of a silver-level professional so much, don't forget that the opponent still has at least two golds in his hand, and one of them is a large adult dinosaur." ”
Catherine smiled, did not answer Dora's question, threw aside the cloth that had begun to be corroded in her hand, picked up the long sword again, and pointed straight ahead: "One big and one small, two golden dinosaurs, do you want to take the initiative to attack, and who will gain first?"
"Race? Lina's left hand did not turn the law book again, since the terrain change of the earth magic has been stuck on a fixed page, with her head down and her lips constantly squirming and chanting the prayers in the law book, the index finger of her right hand is empty and drawing various complex shapes on the law book, at this time, when she heard Catherine's request, she immediately raised her head and smiled mysteriously at Catherine, moved two steps sideways, and the fingers of her right hand stretched out, pointing in the direction opposite Catherine's long sword. In that direction, half of the calf of a dinosaur emerges from behind the trees.
For the caster, locking the opponent with perception is equivalent to having a spell casting target, and he can release magic in this direction to his heart's content. Of course, if there is an obstacle between the two, most of the magic will be blocked, but if a part of the body is exposed, then the magic will fly exactly in a straight line through the target lock as long as it is within the effective distance of the spell, and there will be no deviation unless the opponent dodges in time.
"Oracle, blood clotting. Lina chanted softly, casting the second death-based magic she had received since understanding the Goddess's Death Priesthood, the Blood Clotting Curse.
The Blood Clotting Curse is the exclusive magic of the Priest of the Death Deity, and is one of the most powerful lethal spells, with the terrifying effect of causing the blood in the target's body to completely coagulate in a matter of seconds. Although this kind of magic that can cause effects on opponents of the same level and lower ranks has various restrictions - for example, for opponents who have a fighting shield magic shield that can protect the body and dispel death energy with energy, or opponents who are too strong at the same level but ** will have a very poor or even ineffective effect - but with its powerful instant death effect, it is still favored by many death god priests, the only pity is that this magic requires a long time of preparation and chanting, and often cannot adapt to the fierce offensive and defensive transitions on the battlefield.
"I'm sorry, big sister. Lina's blood condensation curse was released, and dark energy lines instantly extended from Lina's fingers to the dinosaur's exposed calves, and then turned to Catherine and showed an apologetic smile, "I won." ”
Under the illumination of the energy lines, the body of the dinosaur hidden behind the tree shook violently, the color of the body began to turn blue and purple, the body twitched rhythmically, and the chest cavity began to rise and fall violently, and within a few seconds, the large adult dinosaur that was nearly two meters tall stiffened like a tree trunk, and fell straight to the ground and stopped breathing.
"You're too cunning. Catherine glared at Lina and said dissatisfiedly, "You're cheating." ”
"Really?" Lina blinked, her eyes wide and innocently at Catherine, "I'm not cheating." ”
Catherine huffed, "It's no use pretending to be stupid. ”
"Okay, okay. Still, if I'm cheating. Lina rolled her eyes and smiled weirdly at the side: "What's that over there?"
"What over there?" Catherine looked back in confusion, and just saw Dora sneaking out the long whip, which deftly wrapped around the back of a tree, and after wrapping seven or eight times around the body of another gold-level dinosaur, it was pulling back vigorously. Finding Catherine's gaze, Dora stuck out her tongue, dragged her hands harder, and said in her mouth: "Oh, senior sister, the weather is good today, hahahaha." ”
Dora's long black whip is a very unique weapon, not so much a long whip as it looks like a whip has been flattened, and the main body of the whip is such a flat, flexible band. When the belt shrinks, narrows, all the metal blades concentrate toward the center and eventually merge into a hollow but strong one-handed sword, and when the belt is extended, it reverts to a long whip with blades on both sides.
The long whip wrapped around the dinosaur, and the blade of the whip cut deep into the dinosaur's body, and blood flowed from the wound. The panicked dinosaur instinctively struggled in the opposite direction, but the more it struggled, the deeper the blade sank into its body. After struggling for a long time, the dinosaur suddenly stopped moving, a large amount of blood spurted out from the position of the neck like a fountain, and the dinosaur, which had lost its strength, took two steps backwards in the direction of the whip, and slowly fell to the ground with its limbs twitching.
"Ah, Senpai. Like a thief, Dora quickly withdrew the whip and hid it behind her, and said to Catherine with a smirk: "What did you just say? What cheating? Who cheated? ”
"Really? Catherine's eyes twitched, and with a hard smile on her face, she slowly reached up to her neck and made the gesture of unhooking the pendant.
"Wait, senior sister, don't be impulsive. Dora swallowed heavily and shook her hands: "Don't be impulsive, you have something to say, don't wake up the cute child sleeping inside." ”
"You two bastards. Catherine spat helplessly, and said angrily: "There should be two silver-rank young beasts left now." ”
"It should be. Lina put away her smile and nodded, "But I can't sense them." ”
"Me too. Dora agreed, "They disappeared from my perception a few minutes ago, did they escape?"
"Pannis. Catherine suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Come out for me, where are those two hidden by you?"
"Click, click. There was a strange sound on the branches above the girls' heads, and when they looked up, they saw that Pannis was sitting on a treetop several meters high, leaning against a vertical branch, swaying his legs leisurely, holding a Pasi fruit in one hand, and gnawing vigorously on the left and the right.
Dora had a ghostly expression, jumped back, tilted her head and said, "You, when did you come back and how did you appear?"
"Well, I guess I came back when Catherine was shouting about the game. As for how I got there?" Pannis scratched his head with his little finger cocked, and said innocently, "Just walk over, climb the tree, sit down, and just show up." ”
Dora knew that Pannis was talking nonsense to change the subject, and wanted to pinch Pannis's neck and ask him how he could avoid his perception at close range, but she still followed the rules of a professional and didn't ask in detail. Catherine didn't give her a chance to continue the question, and raised her head and shouted, "Hey, Pannis, where did you hide those two dinosaurs? ”
"They, let me think. Pannis nibbled on a few more mouthfuls of the Pasta fruit, his mouth was full, and he replied indistinctly: "I remembered, they are tired, so they are sleeping." But it's okay for you to shout loudly, they sleep soundly and soundly, and you won't wake them. ”
"Okay, I see. Catherine sighed: "Come down quickly, lead the way to the mercenary's corpse to see." ”
"It's so high, I don't dare to jump. Pannis looked at the height below with a sad face: "Which of you is picking me up below." ”
"Pick you up, hehe. Catherine slowly drew her one-handed sword, walked directly under Pannis, and raised her sword upward: "I'll pick you up, you jump." ”
"Uh, this. Pannis threw away the pit in his hand and said with a dry smile: "I suddenly feel that it is not so high, I can go down by myself." ”
"Then get me down. Catherine exclaimed angrily, "I'll have to hurry in a moment." ”
"Your will, Captain. Pannis's body shook slightly, driving the ups and downs of the treetops, and with the power of the treetops, Pannis flashed, disappeared into the yellow leaves of the canopy, and in an instant he turned out from behind a big tree: "Let's go, get in the car, and take you to see the corpse." ”
"There's nothing to see about corpses, I want to experiment. Vivien put away the four unused bottles, and ran her fingers over the rim, the liquid in the bottles quickly lost its vitality and returned to its original stable state. Putting the bottle in her pocket, Vivien patted her blue overalls and stepped to climb into the carriage, but she was halfway through when she suddenly fell from the carriage without warning, falling limply to the ground and motionless.
