Chapter 13: The First Difficulty

Before Agrell's roar could end, dozens of "bang, bang, bang......" explosions were heard coming from the side of Lake Ether to the north of the procession, and everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came from.

I saw that on the surface of the lake not far from the shore of the lake, dozens of water columns with thick trunks and two people high rose up, and then, after countless soft sounds of "click, click, click......", dozens of huge figures pierced out of the water column, and then, the dozens of water columns suddenly exploded, diffusing a water mist, and the water mist seemed to turn into a fiery red flame under the light of the morning sun, burning the turquoise lake red.

The dozens of huge figures, rushing out of the mist in the sky, fell straight down like meteors, and after the countless explosions of "pass, pass, pass ......", they smashed out deep pits on the grass by the lake, raising the dirt in the sky.

"Roar......" A low, loud muffled sound rang out from the pit.

I saw countless pairs of pale green claws, grasping the edge of the pit, holding elephant-like bodies and slowly crawling out of the pit.

When their entire bodies crawled out of the pit, everyone saw that they were a terrifying-looking magical beast.

Their bodies are as large as mammoths, like crawling double-decker buses.

Their heads resemble those of fish, and they have large, round eyes that look bigger than wheels.

Their mouths are long and pointed, taking up half of their entire head.

Their bodies are round, thick and long, like the body of a tanker, and their bodies are covered with colorful scales that shine brightly in the morning sun.

Beneath their bodies are four blood-red elephant legs, and underneath the blood-red hairy elephant legs are four pale green pointed claws.

They also had a long tail, a golden tail as sharp as a sword blade, and an arrow-shaped tail blade the size of a small house.

The most terrifying thing is not those, but the long horn the size of a telephone pole on the top of their heads, and around that snow-white horn, there is a thick water magic element, which seems to have become so thick that it crystallizes, making people feel extremely weird.

"No, it's a sharphorned beast, and we're miserable. Sangu, the minotaur who usually seems to be not afraid of heaven and earth, also trembled a little when he saw the group of sharp-horned beasts slowly crawling towards him in front of him, and his voice became smaller, at least an octave smaller, and even, in his words, there was a trill.

"What is a sharphorn?" At the moment of crisis, Livka didn't forget to ask Wang Xu.

"The sharphorned beast is," Wang Xu raised his right hand and pulled out the long sword in the scabbard behind his back, and then, he took the scroll barrel on his side back into the backpack system, and then, he took out dozens of apricot-yellow mahogany swords engraved with various formations from the backpack system, and sandwiched them in his armpits, "A kind of water-based high-level demonic beast that likes to live in groups and also likes to come out to forage for food in groups." ”

After speaking, Wang Xu jumped off the warhorse, and then, taking off the hood on his head, leaked out a short black ear-length hair, and then continued to explain to Lifka: " The juvenile sharphorned beast has at least the strength of a seventh-order demonic beast, and the mature sharphorned beast is a pure eighth-order demonic beast, even if I try my best, it is not the opponent of a mature sharphorned beast, not to mention that there are at least seven or eight of the more than thirty sharphorned beasts in front of me who are mature bodies, it seems that we really die before we can get out of the school, now, we must flee for our lives, otherwise, few people will be able to leave alive. ”

After listening to Wang Xu's explanation, Warren realized that it turned out that the monsters on the opposite side who were slowly advancing towards his team turned out to be some seventh- or eighth-order water-based demonic beasts, and it seemed that they still seemed to have very terrifying water-based magic, so everyone really had to retreat.

"Knights," Warren shouted, raising his staff, "Prepare to retreat!"

Hearing Warren's shout, Wang Xu and Sangu, who had already dismounted, glanced at each other, sighed silently, and shook their heads slightly, because the two of them had already understood that it was too late to escape at this time.

When the group of sharphorns first appeared, Wang Xu found that the location of the cavalry team was an endless swamp to the south, the direction from which the group of sharphorns was killed in the north, the half-orc team of Agrell to the west, and the path they had walked from the goblin town to the east.

And this path is rough and curved, the cavalry team cannot charge on it, and the sharphorn beast has mastered the terrifying long-range attack of the high-level water magic, so it seems that this cavalry will not be spared.

Just as the cavalry team turned around and was about to retreat to the goblin town, suddenly, all the sharphorned beasts howled in unison, only to see that from their long horns, bright silver water-based magic light pillars radiated, and more than thirty pillars of light rushed towards Warren and Agrell's team respectively.

Seeing the cavalry team that was suddenly attacked by dozens of water magic pillars of light, they panicked instantly, and the war horses stood up and howled, and the knights couldn't pull them at all, and jumped off the war horses one after another, and the war horses that had lost their owners were in fear and scurrying wildly around.

Seeing that the pillar of magic light was about to hit his team, Warren didn't have time to find his warhorse, he stood on top of the shallow grass in a little panic, holding aloft a staff more than a person tall, turquoise, and roared the incantation: "Great Vulcan ......"

After reciting the incantation, a huge spiritual power poured out from Warren's body, directing the fire-type magic elements in the space to gather not far away, and finally, one or two hundred meters in front of the team, a huge wall of fire several meters high and dozens of meters thick was formed.

In a matter of seconds, the pillar of light that shot towards the team hit the wall of fire, and in an instant, the wall of fire weakened, and the thickness and height were only half of what they were just now.

Warren, who was already sweating on his forehead, struggled to hold his staff high, chanting incantations hoarsely, struggling to support the wall of fire, seeing that the wall of fire was about to be extinguished.

At this time, Livka also raised her staff, and a wonderful sound came out of Cherry's mouth: "The omnipotent water god ......"

After the incantation was recited, I saw that an ice wall suddenly stood up on the inside of the wall of fire, and at the moment when the wall of fire was extinguished, a pillar of magic light hit the wall of ice.

This time, the ice wall was not shattered, but became higher and thicker with the blessing of the water magic light pillar, and Livka, who activated this magic, seemed to be swallowed by the huge magic power of the light pillar, her face became extremely pale, and a thin layer of ice mist rose from her body.

Suddenly, with a "click", the staff held in Livka's hand exploded, cracking into powder, and the sharp powder cut Livka's jade hand into a blood-red patch, and then, the blood on her hand condensed into red ice cubes, and then, the ice cubes shattered into blood-red ice crystals.

Livka, whose expression was a little distorted, clutched her chest in pain and coughed incessantly, coughing out patches of blood-red ice chips.

Finally, under the protection of Livka and Warren with all their might, they barely blocked the first wave of attacks of the sharphorn herd, temporarily saving everyone in the team, but the horses that scurried out were not so lucky, all of them were frozen into ice sculptures, and a few frozen corpses were shattered into pieces, so at this moment, all the knights became infantry.

Spit out a breath of cold air, Wang Xu silently looked at Warren, who had completely exhausted his mental strength and was on the ground, and Livka, who was seriously injured and kept coughing ice chips, he understood that at this moment, Warren and the two of them had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and it was their turn to take action.

However, at this time, Wang Xu was in a tangle: should he help them or not? If he wanted to leave, he could just leave with a flying sword; however, if he helped them, he would definitely not be the opponent of so many sharp-horned beasts, and it was very likely that he would die here; however, if he didn't help them, he always felt a little unhappy in his heart, after all, everyone was human, and they had some interactions, so he couldn't accept watching them being killed and eaten by the herd of sharp-horned beasts.

After thinking about it again and again, Wang Xu made up his mind to help them, if he couldn't do anything in the process, then he could only leave them alone.

"Okay, everyone doesn't want to die, if you don't want to die, just listen to me!" Glancing at Thornton and Downs, who were surrounded by Warren, who were surrounded by panicked eyes, Wang Xu sighed, waved his hand and greeted the knights who were standing around, and commanded loudly: "Come around, gather around Warren and Lifka, take out their shields, and also take out their bows and crossbows, remember, no matter what happens, don't panic, with me, I will save you!"

After speaking, Wang Xu turned his head to look at Sangu, took out a huge steel tower shield and a giant crossbow machine from his backpack system, handed them to him, and said to him: "You also go to the middle of the team, don't run around, I have important things to do." ”

"But I have to protect you!" Sang Gu took the new equipment handed to him by Wang Xu, looked at Wang Xu with a solemn face, and said worriedly: "I have to follow you!"

"I can't die!" Wang Xu looked at Sang Gu and smiled proudly, and in an instant, his momentum disappeared, and then he sighed helplessly: "If I can't beat them, I'll still run, don't worry, you can go first." ”

After a few more words of persuasion, Wang Xu finally persuaded Sangu and persuaded him to join the team.

Seeing that all the knights had raised their shields and crossbows, and formed a circle, and that Warren had surrounded the four of them in the middle, and that Sangu had joined them, Wang Xu took up his sword.

After the sword flew away from Wang Xu's right hand, it suddenly widened and lengthened, hovering at Wang Xu's feet, emitting a faint red light.

Wang Xu stepped on the flying sword and rushed to the sky, and the knights on the side were dumbfounded, in their knowledge system, only mages with the strength above the Law Saint could fly, but they didn't expect this young alchemist to be able to soar into the sky, could he be the Law Saint, the Law God?

Warren, who had recovered a little physical strength, also saw Wang Xu rushing into the sky with a flying sword, he was not too surprised, after all, he was well-informed, he didn't think that Wang Xu had the strength of a law saint or a law god, he had seen alchemy items that could fly in the hands of goblins, so he thought that Wang Xu's flying sword was this kind of item.

Wang Xu didn't have time to pay attention to other people's feelings, he saw in the air that the group of sharp-horned beasts had almost crawled behind the ice wall, and they were all ready to launch the second wave of magic pillars, once they destroyed the ice wall, then, the next wave of magic pillars of light would definitely kill everyone present.

Wang Xu also saw that Agrell, who was a few hundred meters away, had already thought of a way to escape, Agrell summoned five or six hundred skeleton soldiers, and those skeleton soldiers surrounded the group of sharphorned beasts in front of him to prevent the group of sharphorns from releasing long-range magic, and then, those skeleton soldiers led the group of sharphorns slowly towards Warren's position, while Agrell led his team of half-orcs to quickly flee in the opposite direction.

After watching Agrell's actions, Wang Xuxin said: Agrell is really lacking in morality, there is no sympathy, everyone is a companion who came out together, in order to escape for his own life, he actually made a trick of using Warren's cavalry team to help him drag down the pace of the sharphorned beasts, it is really ......

After seeing the surrounding battle situation clearly, Wang Xu also began to do things.

He first sacrificed four peachwood swords, and after these four peachwood swords flew out, they quickly changed into four small mounds more than one person high, and these four small mounds fell from the sky and landed next to the knights' team, forming a large mound the size of a small house.

Then, Wang Xu sacrificed another peachwood sword, this peachwood sword flew out, quickly became larger, and finally became like the size of a ten-story building, turned into a huge steel sword and fell rapidly, and finally, it fell a hundred meters next to the knights' team, smashed into the ground more than ten meters deep, the earth trembled, dust and stone chips flew everywhere, and some stones splashed on the knights' shields, which rang out.

Suddenly, the giant steel sword inserted in the ground began to change, not only shrinking smaller and smaller, but also changing the material, and finally, the original peachwood sword that was retracted flew back into Wang Xu's hand.

Wang Xu descended from the sky with a flying sword, flew to the side of the knights, and shouted to them: "Jump into the pit, hurry up, there is no time." ”

After listening to Wang Xu's roar, the knights who had already been shocked by Wang Xu's earth-shattering methods, without thinking about it, jumped into the pit that was smashed out by the giant steel sword, after all, they are all elite-level knights, and everyone has at least the strength of intermediate warriors, so this twenty-meter deep pit is no different from a shallow pit of one or two meters in their eyes.

Eventually, when the four Warrens were also carried by the knights and jumped into the pit, suddenly, there was a loud "click...... the ice wall shattered, and the sharphorned beasts came......
