Chapter 156

Alexia approached the corpse of the earth dragon, and from a close distance, she could feel the oppression brought by this large demonic beast, even if it fell to the ground, it was a little taller than Alexia, and slashed the skin of the earth dragon with the blade, leaving only a shallow wound.

Terrible defense.

However, even such a terrifying demonic beast still died in the Black Forest. The swordback lizard will definitely be torn apart by the earth dragon in one turn, but the scale blade on its back in the latent state can easily cut open the belly of the earth dragon, and it secretes a substance with a strong anesthetic effect, and the earth dragon was disemboweled, and he didn't find out who killed him until he died.

It's a pity that the swordback lizard is also dead, if it is the earth dragon directly facing the giant python, it should be very interesting.

Alexia thought, and quickly took two steps back.

The huge serpent's head rushed across with a foul smell, and immediately turned after falling short, not to bite, but to entangle Alexia.

The most terrifying thing about pythons is not their bite attack, but their strangulation.

Alexia quickly unleashed four swords in a row, and the attack with the fighting spirit left four deep wounds on the giant python's body, but it was not obvious in front of its already huge size.

With the help of the recoil force to jump back, it can be out of the strangulation circle of the giant python.

The python raised its head, and the snake letter hissed and pounced on Alexia with its mouth open again.

Alexia calmly moved two steps sideways, then struck sideways, and the silver-white sword slammed into the python's head, knocking it crooked, leaving two deep scars on the python's head.

"Be careful!" shouted Lévy.

There was a whistling sound, and the snake's tail slammed straight at Alexia's body at an unrecognizable speed, whipping the double-ponytailed girl away.

The python had already activated when Alexia was pumped away, and its huge body brought incredible movement speed, and the latter rushed to the bottom of the girl, devouring it in a big gulp.

The python's snake mouth is open, even taller than an adult male, and it is not too easy to devour a person in one bite.

It has the impression that the air cannot change direction.

For most people, that's true—but Alexia isn't any ordinary person.

The calmness on Alexia's face began to melt, and a hint of frenzy emerged.

At the moment when the giant mouth came to his body, his fighting spirit exploded, and his body ghostly retreated a meter, just avoiding the first bite attack, crossed his hands and held his two swords back, and suddenly stabbed into the eyes of the giant python, the giant python let out an earth-shaking scream, shaking violently, Alexia let go of the hilt of the sword with both hands, so that he would not be thrown away. Then borrowing strength from the trunk behind him, the front somersault landed on the head of the giant python, holding the double sword again with both hands, ignoring the violent shaking, the fighting spirit was poured into the double sword, and it was inserted downward, and the sharp double sword went straight into the brain marrow of the giant python.

The huge creature instantly stopped screaming and fell to the ground on its stomach, its body, which was only a dozen meters long, still writhing.

"Hmm......" Blood spilled from the corner of Alexia's mouth.

Without active defense, he received a blow from the snake's tail head-on, and then forcibly broke out with a fighting spirit and changed direction in the air, which was quite a burden on the body.

With a few soft clatters of dead leaves, Lévi flashed to Alexia's side.

"How do you feel?" asked Lévy.

"A bit reluctantly. Alexia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Perception can only be turned on at a critical moment. ”

Carl and Xingli are studying the python.

"Is this the way this snake is?" Karl held the scales and some flesh taken from the python's body, mixed the reagents, and placed them in a delicate instrument.

"I don't think it's that big. Xingli thought for a moment.

“...... The results are in. Carl looked at the readings on the instrument, "This python is no more than twenty years old, twenty years...... Alexia, do you know which snakes can grow that big, in less than twenty years? ”

The Monster Illustrated Book that Carl himself carried had little introduction to snake Monsters.

In ten minutes, Alexia had already relieved herself.

After recalling it carefully for a while, Alexia said: "Excluding those extremely rare snakes that can grow to more than ten meters long in twenty years, the only one is the black copper large-scale snake, and the pattern of the large-scale snake is black and streamlined. ”

The pattern of this python is grayish-white and has black and brown round spots.

"What if you make it five or seven times smaller. Carl asked, patting the python's corpse.

"Hmm...... Crean jungle python. Alexia was quick to say, "It seems that it was first discovered 130 years ago by an adventurer named Chrian, hence the name." ”

"Correct, this python has been around for hundreds of years. Xingli interjected.

"Humans, we're talking about the first humans to be discovered. Karl hurriedly calmed the unhappy Xingli.

"In other words, in fact, this giant python was originally just an ordinary bronze-level snake demonic beast, but it was infected and mutated?" Levi said after listening for a while.

"That's how it should be. Alexia nodded, "But the chaos here isn't that high, it should have come out of the Blighted Rift." ”

"It's a terrible abrupt change. Carl muttered, then yelled at Levi, "Hey, do you want to try this thing?" ”

"Snake meat is a great tonic. Without hesitation, Levi rolled up his sleeve and pulled out his knife, "I'll stew a pot, you eat first." ”

"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss during the mission!" Alexia put down all of them with one punch, "You have to play your daily life and wait until you go back to the academy to play slowly." ”

Xingli carefully poked the corpse of the mutant jungle python, tilted his head and said, "Xingli thinks this thing should be edible, Mr. Karl, you can taste it, with me, I can't die." ”

A little bit of fun.

"Let's set up camp first, the overlord-level demonic beasts in this area should be the dead earth dragons, and the other demonic beasts should not come over for a while. Alexia said.

"Not necessarily. Levi said as he stuck an iron drill into the ground, "You're talking about the normal situation, now this is the Black Forest, don't you see this unlucky earth dragon die for some reason." ”

The laws of the Black Forest are not the same as in most areas, and here they are more chaotic.

Alexia and Levi set up the physical part of the camp together, and Carl and Starglass discuss what formation to set up.

"Breath Shielding Circles are definitely needed, and the creatures here are sensitive and hostile to the breath of humans and elves who are in the Order faction. "Xingli is talking, Carl is remembering.

With regard to the semi-chaotic area of the Black Forest, he had not prepared any information in advance. This is his current flaw, after all, he has only been concentrating on his studies for three months, and many times he has prepared in advance, so he can appear to know everything, and Alexia does not have this kind of problem.

"Elemental Defense Enchantment Spells?" Karl asked.

"No, I have a better way. Xingli shook her head.

Xingli walked under a locust tree with her skirt in her hand, stretched out her small jade hand, and gently stroked the rough surface of the trunk with many animal claw marks, and her body slowly bloomed with a verdant shimmer, and the light gradually spread from Xingli's body to the locust tree, and then from the locust tree to the surrounding woods.

Starglass withdrew her hand, and the emerald green glow faded, but Karl sensed something different.

"What did you do?" asked Karl.

"I've put this little piece of Black Forest into order. Xingli's voice sounded a little haggard, "And there is a gradient treatment at the edge, and the monsters in the Black Forest can't be found." ”

Karl nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed much stronger than the ordinary aura mask. ”

"Then there is the defensive array, the guard array. Karl said.

These two mid-formations are common to any expedition, not just in the Black Forest, and if there are no casters on the team - generally there will be no casters in teams that venture into dangerous terrain - they are replaced with some physical traps.

For the defensive array, Carl and Xingli still use the elemental enchantment, which is modified with the three-ring water element shield, which is very similar to the wind element enchantment of the airship, and is also activated by a medium-sized magic guide, but the enchantment range and the difficulty of maintaining stability are much smaller than those of the airship.

The price is also much cheaper.

When Carl was in the academy, he prepared one of the six series of enchantment magicians, and each one only cost more than 6,000 gold coins.

As for why the water system was chosen - there is a water system magic guide of star glass, do you still use fire without water?

Carl placed a half-meter-tall model of the lighthouse in the camp, not in the center, where Lévy was building the materials for the campfire.

Putting in three standard magic crystals, Karl controlled it a little, activated it, and a blue light curtain with a radius of ten meters flashed away on the periphery of the camp.

"It's on standby, and it will automatically take effect if a non-access entity wants to invade. Seeing that the enchantment wizard was successfully activated, Carl was also relieved.

Xingli looked at the small lighthouse curiously and asked Karl, "Is this the latest invention of your humans?"

"It's not like it's recent, this enchantment wizard has been around for decades. Carl scratched his face, "I want to think about it...... In 895 in the Imperial calendar, it was first used in airships, and now it is slowly being miniaturized, and some high-level adventurers and mercenaries can also afford it. ”

It would be troublesome for the mages themselves to arrange such a large area of defensive enchantments, but it would be much more convenient if there was a special enchantment magician. Both Medium and Large Wizards do not occupy the energy level of a professional's magic items, and they require a lot of preparation to function properly.

Of course, in fact, the best defense effect is still the priest's, but the vast majority of the adventure groups do not have priests, and most of the spellcasters are magic swordsmen with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts rather than pure magicians.

Because of the pure magician's pit physique......

Lévy wrapped the fallen leaves and dead branches in a ball, knocked out sparks with flint and steel, lit them, and placed them under the cross-structure bonfire, and the warm bonfire burned.

Carl was missing a few inconspicuous sirens outside the defensive array and came back with Xingli.

After dinner.

Moving a folding stool and sitting by the campfire, Carl opened a book on geography and botany, and read quietly.

Lévi planted two fish from a nearby creek and roasted them on a shelf, while Alexia sat in her tent and watched the campfire.

Starglass was lying on top of Carl to see what he was reading, and Carl was frowning and thinking about not noticing her. He is not a full believer, there are overlaps between different books and materials, Carl will subconsciously make comparisons, and it happens that Carl sees a discrepancy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Karl circled the book with a quill dipped in red ink, indicating that he had doubts and would confirm it later.

A book that was not very thick was quickly finished, and after a sigh of relief, Carl moved a little awkwardly: "Xingli?"

Only the faint breathing of the elven princess could be heard.

Fell asleep.

Levidu had already eaten both fish for supper, leaning against a rock, his eyes lightly closed, and he was in a state of half-alert and half-sleep.

Alexia had also slipped into the Takak skin sleeping bag and went to sleep.

Rather embarrassed, Carl had wanted to ask Alexia to take Starglass away. After sitting for a while, Karl took out a quilt, rolled up the starglass and placed it next to Alexia, then returned to the dying campfire and entered a meditative state.
