Chapter 13: The Cloud Beast Strikes
The sky is still so blue and blue. But there is a strange thing, that is, the white clouds that were originally scattered everywhere are slowly gathering in the same direction, and although it is slow, it is possible to see the unusual places with the naked eye. The smaller clouds around them, as if attracted, floated towards the heads of the group of Littel. Above them, a huge cloud began to take shape, and it continued to grow in size.
The horses pulling the cart became restless, struggling and neighing, trying to change the direction they were heading. "Chief, these horses have been strange since this morning, Chief?Chief?" shouted the mentor beside him.
Chief Suiji looked up at the strange sight of the sky, and he felt strange because there was no wind now, not a trace of wind. As Shui Zhi looked up, the other white-robed instructors also slowed down the speed of the carriage and looked in the direction of Shui Zhi.
Originally, the white clouds in the sky, no matter how their shape changes, generally do not attract much attention from pedestrians on the ground. But now it's different, in the Phantom Beast Dense Forest, people who have experienced it will naturally not relax their vigilance at all. The warm sunlight that would have been directly reflected on his face was gone, replaced by clouds that obscured the entire sky. The sunny day suddenly turned cloudy, and the luminosity dropped all at once, giving people a very dim and oppressive feeling.
Li Teh and the others, who were sitting in the carriage chatting with each other, felt that the speed of the carriage had suddenly slowed down, and they didn't care at first, until the noise outside became louder and louder, and they poked their heads out of the carriage.
Li Teh lifted the curtain and watched the Musu tutor look up to the sky, feeling puzzled. So he asked, "What's the matter? The Phantom Beast Forest is not far away, why did you suddenly slow down?" Mu Su didn't speak, but pointed to the top of the cloudy head with a trembling index finger of his right hand.
Litt and Carl looked up and froze for a moment. When they had finished their breakfast, the sky was still clear and there were few clouds, and by this time the whole overhead had been tightly covered and overcast. No wonder it had suddenly darkened. Litt looked around, and some of the carriages had even stopped, and the people in the carriages were looking up and talking.
"What do you see, it's just going to rain, and you're so nervous?" "Oh my God, oh my God, the weather here in the Phantom Beast Forest is still really weird. "The clouds move with the wind, where do these clouds come from? "Don't scare me, it's better to be an ordinary cloud......
Li Teh didn't know what this was like, but he knew in his heart that no matter what kind of appearance the Phantom Beast Jungle would appear in front of him, he believed that years of training in the bloody war would allow him to save the day.
Mizuji's keen nose sniffed again, and then immediately lifted himself up to the top of the carriage with the water elemental, and he checked his surroundings very carefully—it was still a quiet grassland, with no other creatures and not a single grass swaying in the wind. Shui Zhi said silently in his heart: "The aura of the water element is already obvious, but there is no phantom beast. Then he immediately looked over the strange overhead.
The white clouds, which had been covering the sky, suddenly changed color to black clouds, which made the already dark sky more like night. And that's not even counting, in the center of the cloud, a huge human face is slowly taking shape, and the human face is concave with the convex clouds, and the facial features are clearly visible. When the people on the ground change their angles, they can see the huge and crazy face. Think to yourself, the dark clouds that covered the sky suddenly turned into a human face, and this face is still looking at you......
There is no time for this group of people on earth to praise the wonders of nature. Five huge balls of water burst out of the dim clouds and quickly headed for the convoy on the ground. It's not some water drops or raindrops, it's five giant water balls. The water balloon smashed into the grassland like a bomb, making a violent roar, blowing up the turf and blowing out the potholes, and the splashes of water jumped like sharp arrows. However, fortunately, the accuracy of the water polo was too poor, and the nearest one was more than ten meters away from the team.
After the explosion ended, the human face in the sky actually "opened its mouth". There was a low, continuous "humming" sound, constantly pressing down from all over the dark clouds. This voice is close to the state of mind, and it is uncomfortable.
Although no one was injured, many of the horses were frightened to a considerable extent, and their front hooves were raised high, and the neighing was deafening, and they began to run wildly, despite the reins of the cart puller. Animals are able to transmit information to each other, and when a small half of the horses neigh, the rest of the horses unconsciously run along. For a time, many students and instructors fell into the carriage due to inertia, and some even fell off the carriage without standing firmly. With the sound of help, fear suddenly spread in the galloping convoy.
Lee, who was clinging to the door frame, looked at Carl and the others lying in the carriage, and shouted, "It's okay guys! It seems that our convoy has been attacked by unknown creatures!
Chief Shuizhi took out the magic amplification device and shouted: "Move at full speed towards the periphery of the Phantom Beast Forest! Instructors take care of the students in this car! The huge cloud in the sky is a phantom beast, don't attack at will! Go straight ahead!" After saying that, he threw the magic amplification device to the instructor in the car and told them to go first, while Shuizhi himself grabbed his wooden staff and slowly floated into the air. The first thing he saw was that the convoy was speeding past him, but there were still a few students who had fallen off the car running on the grass, crying and shouting for help as they ran, trying to catch up with his carriage.
Shui Zhi's brows tightened, and he said, "Rescue Technique!" "The most unhappy thing about the chief of water governance is this kind of student, but the student's still has to be saved. These unlucky people who almost burst their throats suddenly appeared around them, and the blue water element suddenly appeared around them, condensing into a huge bubble, and wrapped them properly into the bubble. At first, the students didn't know what kind of magic it was, and thought that they had been caught by an unknown creature, so they struggled in the bubble a few times. When they saw the green-robed magician in the air, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground again.
These trainees were caught in the air by the bubbles, and then quickly flew towards the convoy, and finally landed firmly on the carriage. Fortunately, there are not many people, and the convoy has not gone far, otherwise the consumption of mental power alone will consume the chief of water treatment to death. The instructor in a few cars, who was busy driving, saw several blisters with students falling from the sky, and understood something, turned around and shouted: "Chief Shuizhi, you should also go quickly." After the rescued people sat down, the blisters also burst, and the rescued students were so frightened that they shrank into the car
Shuizhi didn't reply, but just left his back to the mentor who was getting farther and farther away. He was staring at the huge face in the dark clouds in the sky, full of curiosity and bewilderment. This is a phantom beast? a phantory beast like this? Such a huge phantoh beast?
The humming murmur that echoed in the sky finally subsided. Immediately afterwards, the dark clouds changed everywhere, and the bumps were frequent. The "mouth" of that huge human face was closed. Immediately afterward, countless huge water balls like the previous ones tilted down, and this time they were really as dense as a torrential rain.
"Not good. Great currents, rapid movements. Water shield, protective barrier. The water element on the soles of Shuizhi's feet suddenly intensified, like a wave, quickly pushing Shuizhi in the direction of the convoy. Then, it took a long time for the second spell to be chanted, and even the tip of the magic staff did not shine brightly.
This time, the giant water balloon, don't talk about accuracy, such a dense water balloon can't be imagined. The water balloon is falling extremely fast, and that's how scary it is. Ordinary water can penetrate even steel plates after reaching a certain level of speed. Judging by the first wave of tentative attacks, these water balloons are not insignificant. Shui Zhi knew very well in his heart that he didn't have time to investigate the origin of the creature on his head, and it was important to protect the safety of the students.
"It's too dangerous to disperse!" the teachers agreed with each other to spread the carriage as far as possible. Without them giving each other orders, the frightened horses had already scattered the convoy.
The Water Shield is not a super-large enchantment that can protect so many people at once like a cover, but when a water ball hits the carriage, it directly blocks the attack like a shield in the sky. Why don't you use an enchantment?First, the Chief of Water Governance can't cast such a large-scale water magic, and second, it's more efficient to use a dispersed water shield at the moment.
"Bang, bang!!" A violent sound came from all around, and some students with a bad mentality fainted directly, even if they were above level three. The horses kept screaming and exclaiming. Splashes of water like sharp arrows, and the body of the carriage clanged. If you are outside, you can see that the carriage is already covered in scars. Li Tet also pinched a sweat, what is this? Carpet water magic bombardment? He thought about it, but through the skylight, he saw that a water balloon was about to hit the carriage he was sitting in.
"Musu, be careful of the ...... in the sky" Before he finished speaking, the roar had already spread overhead, and Li Teh and his party in the car were all shocked. But Litt saw that the water balloon was blocked by a round blue splash shield before it hit the carriage.
Suiji followed the convoy closely, flying in the air, his mental power unfolded at full strength, and tried his best to control the water shield to protect the carriage. Both of Shui Zhi's eyes were already filled with white light, as bright as lights.
Due to the dispersion of too open, even if it is as strong as the chief of water governance, there are still places that cannot be taken care of. The water ball that the water shield failed to block, there was a white-robed mentor to resist. And the white-robed mentor was also unable to react, and finally the first carriage was hit by two huge water balls, which were firmly hit. The car's previous water shield had already been shattered once, and it would take a brief time to reunite, but during this time, it was attacked again, and the mentor couldn't do anything about it.
There was a loud bang, and the whole car was blown into a pile of wood chips and garbage, which also slid forward some distance due to the force of the wagon. The horses were swept far away, but no one came out. The scene was terrible, and in the wreckage of the carriage, only blood continued to seep out. When Mizuji and the others saw it, they could only grit their teeth and continue to maintain the scene. With the first car, there will naturally be a second car, and if there are 10 people in a car, the casualties will be really too great.
The cloud area above his head seemed to be too vast, no matter how the carriages on the ground ran, they ran out, and it seemed that only by rushing into the Phantom Beast Forest could they be truly safe. Some people have to make a life-and-death decision for the first time in survival training, which is really difficult to accept. Some of the students poked their heads out of the window at the risk of death, only to see the terrible face in the dark clouds in the sky...... is "smiling" at them.
