Chapter 31: Escape
Chris quickly reached out to push Pandis awake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Pandis was still in a daze, and his nose let out a "uh-huh" dissatisfied: "What's wrong?"
"Quick, Cryomy!" Chriss, his voice was amplified, his earth and air magic didn't seem to have similar magic for the surroundings, and Pandis's water magic happened to be the nemesis of insects, of course, fire magic was better.
Pandis's eyes widened and he could see the situation outside the tent clearly, and he also let out a low "ah" and quickly cast a "freezing spell" on the surroundings.
Although the light emitted by the elemental cluster in Chris's hand was faint, with the casting of the Freezing Technique, the white aura visible to the naked eye instantly spread out to the surroundings.
The tent and the surrounding beetles turned white in an instant, and even in this environment with very few water molecules, the frost thorns on their bodies could be seen, but still for the same reason, usually the cryotherapy could only freeze within a distance of at least eight meters, but now it could only freeze within a distance of less than five meters, and it seemed that the duration of the effect was also somewhat reduced.
The two hurriedly rushed out of the sealed tent, and the sound of the beetle's body being trampled under their feet along the way "crackled", making people's scalps tingle.
Running out of the range of the tent, there were not many beetles that were not frozen, maybe they followed the light, some of them seemed to have climbed towards the first floor, and a few of them were stepped on the stairs, and the slime after being trampled to death was slippery, almost causing the two of them to fall.
Climbing to the first floor, Chris took out the flint, and as soon as it caught fire, several beetles flew towards the firelight, crashed into the firelight, brought up some sparks, and flew out, startling Criss.
If you look closely, it is a bit of a Jidou insect in the previous life, the whole body is black and blue, shiny and shiny, with six hard feet unique to insects, the pointed tip is divided into triangles, and each horn is divided into two forks, the pincers are flat and sharp, and the carapace on the back can still open and fly, but it should not be able to fly in the air for a long time. With the appearance of the firelight, countless beetles fluttered their wings and flew in, Chris quickly pulled Pandis back a few steps, Pandis cast an ice wall spell forward, but could only barely block part of it, and Chris took advantage of the situation to pick up a wooden board on the ground, ignite it on the fire, and throw it forward.
The ice wall lasted only a few seconds before disappearing, but the sound of countless beetles flapping their wings and flying continued to be heard, desperately flying towards the firelight.
The beetles grew in number, and the two of them retreated to the door with numb scalps.
Chris untied the reins of the camel: "Let's hurry away, this place is a worm nest." ”
"Wait," said Pandis, "Wait," she bent down and looked up, "the shoes are broken!"
Chris was stunned, both of them bought their shoes before entering the desert, using the leather surface of cattle suede, and the boots were composite canvas, which had good breathability and could prevent sand from penetrating. Moreover, the sole is made of Corti animal leather, which is the toughest material in the leather, and it is impossible to break it after wearing it for a year under normal circumstances.
When I looked closer, I saw that there were really a few holes in the soles of Pandis's shoes, and there was some suspicious green liquid.
"Take it off!" Chriss, scrambling to remove the shoes from both of her feet.
If you look at the soles of your desert shoes, you can see the same traces.
It is clear that the bodily fluids of these beetles are also somewhat corrosive.
"Damn it. Chris put Pandis on the camel's back, rode on it himself, took the reins of the other camel, and ran away together.
Pandis looked behind him in shock: "What is this?"
Chris shook his head: "I don't know, it's a beetle anyway." ”
There are so many types of insects, even in previous lives, only 10% of them were discovered, and these things have amazing reproductive ability, but also have a strong ability to survive, and most importantly, at a certain time, they seem to carry out selective self-hybridization and evolution, which is simply beyond human imagination. Just like cockroaches, they were creatures of the same period as the dinosaurs, and as a result, the dinosaurs, the overlord of the earth, went extinct, and they are still alive until the end of the world - maybe they will still survive then.
However, the current beetle is really beyond the two of their estimates, if it is not for the eyes to see them can be burned to death, who would know that in this forgotten city, they can actually survive.
Perhaps, hundreds of years ago, the fall of this city was inseparable from them.
Having already run some distance, the two of them changed into new desert shoes, and suddenly heard a dull thud behind them, and the ground trembled slightly, and the two looked back.
I saw a cloud of smoke rising from the ruins of the city of Avalon, and since the two of them were on a high place, they could see the ruins collapsing downward, and the surrounding sand was constantly sinking inward.
"Collapsed?"
"Hmm!"
"How did it collapse?"
"I don't know!" Chriss, watching the smoke rise above the ruins getting bigger and bigger, suddenly came to his senses, "No, run." ”
He shouted loudly, driving the camel to run forward as fast as he could.
"What's wrong?" asked Pandis, leaning into his arms.
"All those bugs are out!"
Pandis was taken aback, and also looked back, and was suddenly shocked: "So many, God!"
Chris realized that the wooden planks that he had thrown before would only burn the dry bones of other scenery and the like, and then caused the beetles to die, and then the bodily fluids in their bodies corroded the slates, and then these weathered slabs fell downward, and smashed the second layer of slabs together with the other stones on the ground, so that all the beetles were alarmed.
The beetle can be said to have been awakened from a deep sleep, and the first thing it did when it woke up was definitely to eat, but there were only two of them nearby.
Chris couldn't help but look back.
"So fast!"
The two of them had already run a distance of sixty or seventy meters before, but now it was less than a minute, and the beetles that had risen from the ground had chased forty meters away.
In the distance, the sky was faintly bright, and under the dark blue sky, the blue-black beetle formed a black cloud in the sky that covered the sky, and with the sound of "wooing" wings, it pressed towards the two.
If they are overtaken, they are afraid that in less than a few seconds, there will be no residue left between the two and the camels.
It's just too much!
"Pandis, you're here to block it!"
"Hmm!" Pandis reluctantly turned in Chris's arms, facing the swarm of beetles in the sky.
The effective range of most spells is within twenty or thirty meters, so at this time, you either have to wait for the opponent to enter the casting range, or you can only cast non-offensive magic, Pandis pondered for a while, and reluctantly summoned a dryad, on the back of a camel that is constantly undulating, it is really not a good environment to cast spells.
Of course, after she regressed from an eighth-level magician to a seventh-level magician, her ability to manipulate the elements also decreased a little.
As soon as the dryad appeared, it rushed towards the beetle swarm without fear, it swung its thick branches and struck them, causing many beetles to explode in the air, splashing green liquid all over the sky, and the hungry beetles were also attracted by it, and they pounced on it and gnawed indiscriminately, and in a few seconds, the dryad turned into an elemental and disappeared.
Perhaps feeling deceived, the beetles are even more menacing, and the speed seems to be a little faster.
But in any case, there are still many beetles attracted by the dryad and landed on the sand, and they can't fly again for a while.
The camels were no less afraid of beetles than the storm, and they galloped wildly, their hooves splashing their sand flying half a day high.
Pandice cast a dryad again, which only slightly attracted a small number of beetles.
You can already hear their "whining" wings.
A few days ago, the two of them were most afraid of the storm, but at this time, they all hoped that a storm would blow the beetles away. (To be continued.) )
