Chapter 32: The Ancient Beasts
"After a while, I'll be in the front, Erin in the middle, and the senior in the back. "The three of them have reached the outskirts www.biquge.info of the forest, and the knights who saw them off have retreated to the nearest camping point.
Bert took out the map and pointed to a place in the middle of the map, "Three teams enter the forest from three directions, and they will eventually converge at Sunset Lake in the middle of the forest. Bert's finger slid to a blue area in the middle of the map.
"If one team doesn't reach this area, it's probably a monster attack, so we can continue exploring in that team's direction. ”
"Well, that makes sense, but that doesn't rule out the possibility that they're walking too slowly. Fario came up with his idea.
"We have Demon Martial Arts Dual Cultivation type contestants in each team, and Satya's Demon Archer is even better in the forest. The main thing is that no matter what kind of monster it is, the most important thing for their living environment is water. However, the rest of the forest does not have abundant water, so there is the greatest possibility of monsters in the lake in the middle of the forest. ”
"Well, let's go in the direction of the lake first, this direction must not be wrong. At that point, think about the next step. ”
One by one, the three of them entered the forest, and Bert and Eileen, who had lived in the imperial capital for a year, felt like they had returned home, as if they could see the smoke rising from the stove a few steps away, accompanied by the autumn breeze and perhaps the smell of wine in the air.
Bert drew his twin swords and chopped through the branches and weeds that stood in his way, and Erin and Fario looked around on guard, after all, they hadn't even figured out what kind of monster it was, so it was better to be careful.
However, there was no movement after walking about half the way, and the nervousness of the three of them was also diluted by a green forest. After walking for so long, they were a little tired, so they each found a place to sit and rest.
"Did you notice? We haven't encountered a single beast after all this journey. "Bert had been walking in the forest for a long time, and he could see something strange at a glance.
"Powerful monsters will exude their own aura and drive nearby creatures out of their territory, but how powerful is this monster in such a large territory?"
"And it drove all the animals out, what did he eat himself?"
"People. "People?" and "People!" The three of them said the same answer in unison, and they all looked at each other with horror.
"Ahh
"Prepare for battle, full speed ahead!" Bert took the lead in rushing in the direction from which the voice came from with his twin swords.
The direction of the sound was the direction in which Satya's team had entered the forest, and the two teams were not far away. It didn't take long for the three of them to reach their destination at full speed, but they were too late.
The scene was covered in blood, and the trees and the ground were no longer visible in their original colors, and everything had turned red! A corpse in the same red robe lay on the ground, and there was no trace from the shoulder upwards.
Holding back the feeling of her stomach tumbling, Bert turned around and stopped Erin, who had just arrived at the scene, and covered her eyes. Fario, who followed at the end, also saw the corpse, and his face was quite uncomfortable.
"Erin, you're guarding outside, I'm worried that the monster hasn't left yet, so you can cast a distress flare by the way. I'll talk to my seniors. ”
Erin nodded, not looking at the corpses in the pool of blood, the strong smell of blood in the air and the state of the two boys told her not to look at it.
The two teenagers glanced at each other, although they were in their early twenties and were the elite of the wizarding world, but in this case, they were just two rookies who had never seen a dead person, let alone this kind of headless corpse.
Bert, who had hunted many animals, was more courageous, and moved with great difficulty to the corpse to observe the wound. The trachea and laryngeal bones were all exposed, and the blood was still flowing from the body.
Bert swallowed his saliva and suppressed the stomach acid: "It seems that he was bitten off by something and his whole head was ......"
As soon as Fario heard this, he immediately couldn't control himself, and ran to the nearby tree to vomit out his breakfast. It's good that he didn't vomit, but Bert couldn't stand it, and then he vomited on the other side.
The two of them vomited for a long time, and they felt that there was nothing left in their stomachs before stopping. "Leave this corpse alone...... Let's go find the survivors first. ”
Fario immediately nodded in agreement, the scene here was no longer something the two of them could maintain, it was still important to find survivors, and they beckoned Erin to hurry up.
After walking along the blood trail for a long time, the smell in the air gradually began to fade. The faces of the three of them are not good-looking, and the Praetorian Guards on the periphery should have found the signal flare, and I don't know if those soldiers have been surprised.
"Look!" Following Erin's finger, they saw another corpse, a headless body in a blue robe hanging from a tree. Blood kept pouring out of what was supposed to be a head, like a waterfall.
Do you still need to find it? The team of three has already seen two corpses, will there be survivors? Even if there are survivors, can the three of them save people? Before even seeing the face of the monster, two high-level magicians have been lost, could it be a dragon?
There have been some evil dragons in history, but dragons are so large that they can't travel through such a narrow forest. But what other creature than a dragon can kill two high-level mages in a short period of time.
"Let's get out of here, this is not something we can handle, we should contact the mentor and them quickly. ”
"But the girl hasn't been found yet. "Erin didn't want to give up hope of searching.
"Shhhhh Bert interrupted the conversation between the two, and everyone immediately pricked up their ears while the three formed a circle, ready to respond to any emergency.
Suddenly, a petite figure appeared in the distance, with blond hair, pale yellow robes, and a dark green longbow in his hand, which was none other than Satya's magic archer. At this time, she was running quickly in the jungle, turning around and shooting a few arrows backwards from time to time. Looking in that direction, everyone could see the monster's appearance clearly.
The size of a cow, shaped like a huge tiger, covered in fiery red, with fiery red wings on its back, and golden horns like dragons on its forehead, it was now pounced on the girl with its bloody mouth wide open.
"It's Qiqi! Run!" Fario recognized the ancient beast that existed in the ancient books at a glance. Qiqi is recorded in ancient books as one of the four fierce beasts of ancient times, and its combat power reaches the level of a divine dragon. Not to mention the three of them high-level magicians, even if they were three mages, they weren't necessarily its opponents.
"I'm going to save that girl!" Under the strong pressure of the beast, Erin burst out with a huge amount of magical energy. Bert on the side didn't speak, and held his sword in front of Erin.
"This is an ancient monster, and we are no match for him at all. Fario was about to say something, but Bert interrupted him by shaking his head, they had already known that this monster was not waiting for him. If it was just now, he would have wanted to leave, but seeing that the girl in front of him was not dead, let him leave her and run for his life, let alone Erin, he couldn't do it.
"Well, let's die together. "Fario immediately began to cast spells, it is still so far away, maybe a few more high-level magic can be cast, besides, the appearance of ancient beasts near the imperial capital is afraid that it will cause a catastrophe if it is not stopped.
"Eternal time, boundless darkness, sparks, erupt! The power of time!" When Qiqi was only a hundred meters away from them, Erin finally began to chant loudly, and a large number of time magic spirits immediately gathered together, forming a huge beam of light in her hand.
"The Blade of Time!" Bert had never seen such an attack that materialized the time magic elves, and a sharp sword flew towards Qiqi at an extremely fast speed.
The ancient beast was already very faceless when it chased a little girl around, and it was furious that it suddenly discovered a powerful magic source, and its eyes the size of copper bells glared at Erin, and the girl who had just finished casting the magic suddenly felt cold, as if she had become a fish on a chopping board, and her body trembled uncontrollably. The trajectory of the "Blade of Time" immediately began to drift.
Suddenly knowing that the figure appeared in front of her, Bert noticed her abnormality and immediately blocked in front of her. The boy was under tremendous pressure in an instant, but fortunately, he had experienced two life and death tests and was better than Erin, and he bit the tip of his tongue hard, and a fishy smell stimulated his nerves.
Qi Qi was surprised that a human could withstand the divine might of its ancient beast, and gave up the pursuit of the girl, and sucked hard.
"Roar!" everyone's throats were hot, and they felt as if their bodies had been hit by a heavy hammer, and their internal organs were instantly shocked by the huge air pressure and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Fario, who was casting spells, was directly interrupted by the magic, and the powerful magic elves immediately counterattacked and were directly knocked unconscious.
It's too strong! Just a roar, not only disintegrated Erin's advanced magic, but also knocked down the four of them at the same time! It's not a level of combat at all, maybe it is possible to survive by running away without looking back just now.
Even Bert, a high-level mage of the wind system, was under unbearable air pressure, and the wound he was wounded by the crossbow arrow last night immediately burst out of blood. In an instant, two of the four fainted to the ground, and one could no longer fight.
As a warrior, Bert stood with his sword on the ground and struggled to prove to the beast that he was human. The biggest difference between human beings and other creatures is that even if they face death, they have their own beliefs to support themselves to face it.
Qi Qi also found out that the boy had not yet fallen down after suffering two attacks from him, and became interested in him, and he was thinking about how to make this life worse than death.
Drawing his twin swords, Bert charged towards the Ancient Beast. This is destined to be an unfair war, and the corners of the beast's mouth show a contemptuous smile, the smile is ugly, it is a mockery.
"Bang!" a yellow figure flew out, accompanied by a red streak of blood. At the same time, a huge red figure flew out after him, and the next moment, a bloody mouth appeared beside him.
