Chapter 20: Magic, Warning
Chapter 20: The Power of Magic, The Last Warning
The thick clouds are like sticky ink, constantly churning and rolling in the sky, looking from afar, like a huge black beast, hideous, fearless, and mysterious. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Liu Qing, where are you, come out quickly...".
The old call kept echoing in the sky, and the hoarse voice was like a death scythe that had not yet burst into power in everyone's hearts, silently making people tremble.
A drop of cold sweat fell on the grass, and the robber leader's dark eyes were full of unwillingness and chagrin, and he looked directly at the old woman in the black robe in the sky, and his body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
Why!
Originally, everything was going to succeed, as long as Otis had a toxic attack, he would be able to kill everyone sooner or later, and when the time came, he could not only use Otis's head to exchange for a bounty on the big tribes on the grassland, but also harvest more than forty carts of goods, he could greatly expand his team and become one of the largest bandit groups on the grassland in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, the bandit leader looked at the figure in the sky in despair.
Magicians, mages who can cast large-scale climate magic, are at least sunset-level existences, and a sunset-level mage can easily kill him, completely crushing.
Otis frantically suppressed the toxins in his body, while looking at the magician in the sky, sighed weakly, woe is not alone, this journey is the most bizarre and dangerous he has ever encountered.
The Hawkeye bandits on the grassland followed them to kill them all, and on the way to escape, they also encountered the little children who blocked the road and robbed, but a large number of boulders and giant trees blocked their retreat alive, and the robbers who caught up with them killed them again.
Now, a magician at least Sunset level flew in the sky, almost making him desperate, not to mention that he had also been poisoned by the enemy.
Perhaps, today he will stay here forever.
"Well, where have we gone?" said Edith, sighing, and gave up calling any longer, for she felt that some of the following might be able to answer for her.
"Do any of you know where a beautiful little boy has been, who was still on this steep slope before I left".
Warm and flat voices came, but no one dared to speak, one by one they still stood in place, and even robbers quietly moved their feet, trying to hide behind the crowd.
"What a bunch," said Edith, annoyed.
"Ahh Bang".
A robber who was moving his steps suddenly screamed, and the huge head exploded directly, and a little scarlet blood spilled all over the people around him, and a short fountain gushed out from the neck of the rest of the body, beautiful and bewitching.
"Ah, this, this".
All the robbers retreated, and a few of the robbers who were splashed all over their bodies ran away, and when they looked at the magicians in the sky, everyone was terrified, originally fear, but now fear.
"Bang, bang" The huge heads in the two crowds burst open, and the two fountains flashed away, leaving only two headless corpses lying straight to the ground.
"No, don't, run".
A lewd robber roared desperately, threw the knife in his hand, and the whole person ran nervously towards the grassland, roaring indiscriminately as he ran.
"Yes, run" another robber yelled out and ran forward, and the rest of the people did not hesitate, but all ran around, and the field suddenly became a pot of porridge.
"What a poor fellow," said Edith, a little sadly, as she took out her staff, infused with mana, and read.
"Darkness - Chain of Death".
A thick black bolt of lightning fell, striking one of the bandits, but soon two more black lightning bolts struck the other two running bandits, and four more black lightning bolts struck the rest of the men.
"Ah, don't".
When the rest of the robbers found out, they all screamed loudly, and one by one they cried wolf and wanted to beg for mercy, but soon they all fell, and finally the field suddenly changed from noisy to quiet, and the atmosphere was very strange.
Each of the robbers who was hit did not have any damage on their bodies, but their eyes turned black, and both their pupils and the whites of their eyes were pitch black, and they looked terrifying.
"Do you know?" said Edith, looking at the other few people who were sitting or lying on the ground, and with her experience, it was natural that these were guild-certified professionals, far from being comparable to a few prairie bandits.
Looking at the messy scene, Edith also knew a rough idea in her heart, and when she saw those stones and giant trees, she was sure that Liu Qing participated, but what happened, she still had to ask these people where Liu Qing went.
"Hello, Venerable Magician" A large strong man stood up, a large area of scarlet blood on his leather armor and clothes, and the broadsword at his feet was even more bloodstained, showing his glorious achievements, and at this moment he made a standard imperial meeting etiquette to Lydith, which was a bit nondescript.
"I'm Wendell, the deputy head of the Wolf Slayer Blade, and I think I can answer you to everything that happened." With a voice that was clearly a little exhausted, Wendell began to talk about the tragic journey of their caravan that day, in a sad and low tone, like a wronged child, simple and kind.
The caravan's whereabouts were discovered by the notorious Hawkeye bandits of the steppe, and then escaped in a bloody battle, and when they reached this steep slope, they were attacked by boulders and rolling logs, and a mysterious and powerful child came out of the way, and ran to the depths of the grassland with a cart of beautiful women, and then they were attacked by the robbers frantically, until the great magician arrived and saved them from their mortal situation.
The short and detailed summary made Edith also imagine everything that happened, and the top priority was to control these people first.
"I'm going to keep you under control first, and if I can't find anyone, you'll have to pay a heavy price."
Speaking of the last sentence, six hazy figures like black flames flew out from under the robes of Lady's robe and flew towards all the living people present, like six ghosts in the gloomy environment, very weird.
Halfway through, the bandit leader and Otis didn't speak, just calmly watched the development of things, because in their current state, they couldn't even run, let alone resist each other's magic.
When the shadow of black flames fell on their backs, everyone felt as if their bodies were bound by something, but it was clear that their bodies could move freely, and the strong contrast made people feel a little sick. After completing everything, Lady flew towards the place where Liu Qing left with a hint of sorrow, and at this time, three hours had passed since Liu Qing left, and how could she find it in the vast grassland.
A large black cloud was left on the steep slope by her, and she flew forward quickly, after getting out of the dark clouds, the long-lost sunset brought her a trace of indescribable feeling, how long has it been since she had seen the sunset properly?
I followed the footprints of the wheels all the way forward, but the shallower the wheel marks became the more and more backwards, and even disappeared in the end, flying forward indiscriminately for a while, completely disoriented.
Looking at the vast grassland, and then at the clear and clean sky, Radith gave up.
When it was completely dark, the two sides that had stopped fighting sat on the ground, silent, and a not very bright bonfire burned until Edith returned, and everyone looked up.
Next, it is time to wait for the judgment of fate.
Levitating in the sky, she looked at them coldly and said in a stiff tone.
"From now on, your lives are mine."
In front of the dim firelight, bottles of potions were poured down, and a green skull appeared in everyone's heart, as if with a trace of spiritual light, flickering and dark, corresponding to the heart.
With this, she is not afraid that these people will not listen to her, of course, this poison is not unsolvable, but it takes a dark mage of the same line as her, and a little necromancy to figure out the onset of this potion.
Otherwise, one carelessness is destruction.
She was a little happy and a little annoyed at the same time, she was not only happy that there were two glory-level warriors among these people, but she was also worried about Liu Qing's loss again, but fortunately, she had found a solution.
With a cold old face, he scolded the remaining six people.
"If you still want to live, go and get my apprentice Liu Qing back, otherwise you will wait for the medicinal seizure to die."
No one spoke, and before they took the potion, they had already guessed that this would be the outcome.
Picking up the weapons on the ground, the bandit leader took the lead in walking forward alone, a bow and arrow, which was his best reliance, the conquiry hunter on the grassland, always coming and going like the wind.
The poison on Otis's body had been cured, he helped Tess up, and Wendell kicked Al on the other side, and the only four remaining members of the caravan began to walk slowly towards the grassland.
In the night wind, a cold voice came, it was the last warning of Edith, the leader of the robbers raised his head, and the four of Otis stopped.
"Remember, your time is only seven months or less, and that thing in your heart will eat up your life force.
Whether you can survive or not depends on your speed."
"Poof, poof" a heartbeat echoed, as if the blood of the whole body was flowing to the strange skull.
The bandit leader looked at the skull on his chest, and Otis smiled bitterly at Wendell.
This time, it's really dangerous.
