Chapter 524: Rescue (2)
"Well, let's go straight to the edge of the Forbidden Forest?" said Roger in wonder, after all, according to the direction they took on the map, the only one who could touch the big tree was the Forbidden Forest.
The boy tentatively kicked the tree with his foot, and he never thought that he would step into the trunk of the tree, and it was as if it were just a dry old bark.
"No, it's like the egg of some kind of creature, but the shell is like the bark of a tree. Dumbledore took two steps forward, but a 'tree' blocked his way.
And as the old man's words fell, cracks appeared in the bark of the tree that Roger had kicked and spread along the hole that had been kicked open.
A gray-green shadow jumped out of it and slammed into the little man in front of it.
"!?" Roger called, picking up the Pandora's box in his left hand and slapping the thing to the ground.
Everything happened between the lightning and flint, and Dumbledore next to him didn't have time to react, and by the time he turned around, the thing had already been glued into the ground by the boy.
And as the demon jumped out of the egg, it was like blowing an offensive trumpet around it, and the sound of eggshell cracking was heard one after another.
"What are these?" said Old Deng raised the barrier again and nodded at the demon struggling on the ground.
"If memory serves, it's called Kemira Seed," Roger said, looking at the demonic figures slowly emerging from the fog around him.
This thing is like a deformed hound that has been cut in half, leaving only the back half of its body, and at the place of the lumbar vertebrae is a scarlet one-eyed, two-legged frog-like horizontal skimming on the sides of the body, and at a glance it knows that it has a strong jumping ability.
And the dark green vine-like things that grew here and there tangled together to form a tail, which fell behind the butt like a thick third leg, supporting the Kemira seed from falling backwards.
"This thing is said to be a seed that has fallen from the Demon Tree, and will find a host to meet their parasitic needs, and it is very flexible, but it is also very fragile. Roger explained it again, and then asked, "Why, didn't this appear last night?"
"No," Dumbledore shook his head affirmatively, "Wait, you just said 'parasite'?"
Roger blinked and said abruptly, "I know what you want to ask... But I don't know. But since the names are still on the map, it means that none of those people are dead. ”
Dumbledore's expression became quite serious, and he strode forward with the barrier, bounce the Kemira seeds that jumped and crashed into him to the side.
But as the Kemira Seed attacked and bounced off more and more frequently, Roger suddenly found that the demons who jumped out of the eggs had changed their offensive strategy, and in addition to the vines that were tangled together as the third leg, the vines on the back and the joints of both feet stretched out like tentacles, trying to cover the barrier with gentle movements.
Obviously, this doesn't work very well, and what should be bounced will still be bounced off. The rebound characteristic of the Iron Charm is not that of a trampoline, and the more force you use, the farther you can bounce. Instead, as long as the caster wants to bounce, even if they touch it, they will be ejected far away.
Either way, at least it knows how to change its attacks, which is much smarter than those brainless scarecrows and tendony sword wings.
Dumbledore didn't bother with this, and was bent on getting to the location shown on the map as quickly as possible. In this case, one more person can have an extra chance of winning, and no one knows how many demons are hidden in this fog, let alone the 'demon king' that may appear in Roger's mouth.
Although he also knew in his heart that surrounded by a large number of Kemira seeds, most of those Aurors were already fierce and unlucky.
As before, Dumbledore relied on these demonic miscellaneous fish to break through the barrier, and walked directly against the Kemira seeds that were slowly gathering.
Suddenly, there was a small voice in front of me.
"Die... Monsters..."
"Help me..."
"Who's coming... Help us..."
"Kill... Kill them..."
"Did you hear it, it looks like someone is moaning. Roger said sideways to Lao Deng.
Dumbledore didn't speak, his movements sped up a lot, and his hair and beard fluttered back.
The faint voice in front of him gradually became clearer, but it made people feel even more weird, and the tone was like the unconscious whispering in people's sleep.
Directly in front of him, the Kemira seeds, which had been bounced off countless times, flew out again, and finally saw some tall figures coming out of the thick fog, their strange figures and movements somewhat similar to those of scarecrows.
"Help me... Help me..."
"Kill... Kill... Kill..."
Those figures were interspersed among the Kemira seeds, perhaps because they had spotted Dumbledore and Roger, and their voices became high-pitched, and the speed of their walking increased by a notch, and soon appeared in the eyes of the two.
Dumbledore's face darkened, and his blue eyes stared sharply at the figures.
Maybe they can't be called human anymore... The upper body has been entwined with vines like Kemira's seeds, deeply inserted into the body, and the position of the head has disappeared, replaced by a pink and bright flower like tender flesh, and the sound of babbling is coming from the center of the flower.
Not only that, but their arms were gone, replaced by vines with spear-like spikes, swaying slightly with the movement of their steps.
"I'm sure you understand what's going on," Roger said, crossing his arms, "and that's what happens when you're parasitized and germinated by Kemira seeds... I didn't know, however, that a host parasitized by a seed wouldn't die. ”
With the boy's clear words, the parasites attacked the barrier along with the Kemira seeds next to them, and unlike the seeds that only hit people, the parasites' two spiky vine arms flung from both sides as if they were wielding whips.
"Dang!" Soundly, the parasite's attack is much more powerful than the seed's, and the results are very different.
The parasite was not ejected, but the arm of the attacking vine was violently swung apart, and its body only staggered back a few steps before standing still.
Fortunately, Lao Deng's turtle shell is quite sturdy, and there is no sign of damage.
"What should I do?
