Chapter 9: Flooded
In the space on the top floor of the Mage Tower of the De Er Academy, five old figures stood in front of a hollowed-out white magic ball, the surging magic distorting the air, and each of them had a heavy expression on their faces.
A new circle formed in the sky, and a trace of unbearability flashed in their eyes, but the movement in their hands and the dispatch of magic power never stopped.
Below the tower, a large number of men and women wearing helmets and swords looked up at the huge forbidden magic array above, and their expressions were also quite complicated.
Many people looked in the direction of the outside of the city, and outside the forty-meter-high wall, a magic barrier blocked the flow of water up to 100 meters high, so that the power of the forbidden art could not affect De'er City.
Residents walked out of the streets and alleys of the city, they all looked at the forbidden magic array above their heads with confused, fearful, and confused eyes, even ordinary people who had not received professional education, they could feel the awe from the depths of their souls from the magic circle above.
Stompe!
The streets resounded with the sound of heavy footsteps, waking up those who were watching the forbidden arts.
It wasn't long before the civilians saw a group of professionals in various armors and with an extraordinary aura on their bodies taking to the streets and began to scold them.
"Don't look at it, it's all back in the building!"
"Go home and close the door!"
"Wait until tomorrow the city lord will come out to explain, let's go back now!"
With the shouting and shouting, the panicked civilians were gradually calmed down and hid in their homes, waiting for tomorrow's explanation.
The homeless adventurers, seeing the powerful man, did not dare to resist and silently returned to the tavern or inn.
……
In the Warcraft Forest, Xiang En and Andrea were still running away, and the Demon Leopard under Xiang En's crotch was exhausted after running for nearly five kilometers.
Reaching out and patting the head of the demonic leopard, Xiang En was very grateful to this leopard, if it weren't for it, he would probably have struggled in the flood.
They had already run nearly seven kilometers, and the flood behind them was already much less powerful under the distance and the reduction of the forest.
But a new circle was brewing in the sky, and they couldn't reach the bottom of the mountain.
The remaining two kilometers, whether it was the Demon Leopard, Xiang En himself, or Andrea, who was on the verge of the limit behind him, could not successfully pass.
In order to renew Andrea's life, Xiang En's magic power has only 21% left, and he has already induced vomiting twice in a row, and if he urges again, it is estimated that he will go into shock!
Looking back at Andrea, who was covered in thorny wounds from twigs, some of which had scabbed over the recovery of magic, but some were still oozing blood.
The flood was about fifty meters behind her, and in the state of abundant magic power, she continued to use the charging skill, which made her a lot of distance from the flood, but the result was still the same, with the shining of the eighth-order forbidden magic circle on the heavenly dome, a new giant water ball formed and began to fall.
If you let the water balloon collide with the old flood, the flood will be even more powerful!
Their physical strength had reached the limit, and Xiang En looked around, there were a large number of demonic beasts all over the forest, wolves, giant bears, monkeys, foxes, ......
All life wants to live, but in the face of this forbidden technique that can change the terrain, how easy is it?
After unleashing the last surging spell for Andrea, Xiang En put his hand into his waist, pulled out a dagger with cold light, aimed it at the throat of the demonic leopard, and after secretly saying sorry, he suddenly pressed in!
Mutter!
The demonic leopard, which was a little dizzy, sensed a foreign object in its throat, and the leaf-like pupils in its eyes suddenly dilated, and a large amount of blood splattered from its throat.
The body of the demonic leopard fell to the ground, and even Xiang En was thrown out, Xiang En rolled on the grass several times, and felt a tingling pain in his waist during the rolling.
After struggling to stand up, he reached out and touched his waist, feeling the warmth of the blood and the sharp pain.
He didn't dare to delay, and while walking in the direction of the demonic leopard, he stuffed bread into his mouth and threw several rounds of recovery on himself.
The wound recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the repair effect of the spell against the sky in the talent book was vividly displayed, but Xiang En's magic power had also bottomed out.
He walked over to the corpse of the leopard, pulled out the dagger that had been stuck in its throat, and stabbed it into the belly.
The often-polished steel dagger was so sharp and easy that it cut through the belly of the demonic leopard.
Xiang Enzai reached in and groped, and finally pulled out a bloody heart, then cut open the heart, and took out a crystal connected by blood.
At this moment, Andrea stopped beside him, staggering and about to fall, but was held by Xiang Eun's hand.
She didn't know why she had stopped...... But in the face of the distant peaks, she no longer had the strength to continue running.
Xiang En reached out to support Andrea and shoved the blood-stained crystal into her hand.
"Absorb!"
The sound of the flood was very loud, Andrea's face was very pale, she didn't seem to hear what Xiang En said clearly, just held the crystal and looked at Xiang En blankly.
At the moment, the situation was urgent, and Xiang En didn't have much time to explain to Andrea, so he twisted her head to the side and shouted into her ear: "Absorb the crystal!" Listen to me! ”
The deafening sound in her ears brought Andrea back to her senses, her brain gradually relieved from the lack of oxygen, and her complicated eyes gritted her teeth and nodded after her determined gaze at Shang Xiangen.
The purified magic in the crystal was absorbed by her in less than a second.
Andrea had already woken up, and Xiang En began to take off her coat and stretch the ordinary but very strong dress.
Flip Andrea over and hold her body close to her back, tying herself to her so that she wouldn't be lost when she was swept away by the flood.
If you lose it, you don't know how to survive surrounded by a large number of demonic beasts......
"Xiang ...... Xiang En, water! Andrea didn't care about such a move, but when she saw the rolling flood, the courage to mention it was hard to lift it disappeared.
The flood was only thirty meters away from them!
Facing the flood head-on is like facing a long line of heavy trucks that are rushing into it, and the fear of giants and the fear of the deep sea ensue.
The strongest emotion of human beings is fear, and no ordinary person can remain calm in such a state, even Xiang En, who knows that he will not drown because of the water, is just as frightened in the face of such a flood.
After tying himself and Andrea together, Xiang En took off the cloth bag tied to his body, this bag contained all his belongings, in order not to affect his movement during the hunt, he tied it to his body, but he didn't expect it to play a little role now......
The distance between the flood and them is just over ten meters!
Xiang En used a blood-stained dagger to cut open the cloth rope of the cloth bag, and with a turn of his body, he led Andrea to a tree of suitable size, and he hurriedly used the cloth rope to go around the trunk.
Before he could hand the rope to Andrea, the flood had arrived!
Burst!
The three-meter-high flood instantly covered the two of them, and Xiang En used his magic surge and skill to quickly cast scuba skills on both himself and Andrea.
Despite the maximum force on the trunk, he still felt as if several British Hercules were dragging behind him, and the rope in his hand was almost out of his hands.
At this moment, a pair of hands carried his hand, it was Andrea, and she also pulled the rope!
The vision of the two of them was covered by muddy yellow floods, their eyes were closed, and it was pitch black around them, and their eardrums were bulging, as if something was against them.
At first, both of them were holding their breath, and their natural fear of water made Xiang Eun, who had performed scuba surgery, afraid to inhale the muddy water.
But after they couldn't hold it anymore, the two of them inhaled, and the smooth sense of breathing made both of them let go of their tension.
There are a lot of debris carried by the flood, and Andrea's physical strength is already small, although she has absorbed the magic crystal of the demon leopard to recover, but it is only a drop in the bucket.
Xiang En must control the amount of mana recovery and restore Andrea's state appropriately.
He only had ten minutes, and he couldn't save Andrea's life and state in ten minutes, and he would die when the next flood came!
Underwater, the skills of the Talent Book are just as useful.
Andrea felt the coolness spread throughout her body again, the small wounds on her body healed again, and her strength was recovering.
The flood submerged the two, the current moved fast, and most of the debris was on the surface of the flood, and even if there was debris underwater, there was very little after the first round of impact.
The 150% mana recovery rate was a little faster than Xiang En expected, and he performed one more surge on Andrea, and then patted her hand on the cloth rope to let her go.
After the back of her hand was slapped more than a dozen times in a row, Andrea finally understood what Xiang En meant and let go of her hands.
The bodies of the two tied together were immediately propelled by the current and began to move towards the depths of the mountain range.
Xiang En opened his eyes, and it was pitch black underwater, but he could barely see the shadow of the tree trunk.
He led Andrea's body to move underwater, and if a tree trunk appeared in front of him, he would paddle away with all fours, and if he couldn't dodge, he could only resist the impact.
Andrea also opened her eyes as she swayed from side to side, and her arms were waving to help Xiang Eun control her direction.
They are like two frogs stacked on top of each other, trying to survive as best they can.
The scuba operation was released again, and the second scuba time meant that Xiang En only had eight minutes left.
Is it possible to cross a two-kilometer distance in eight minutes with an obstacle to the foot of the mountains?
Xiang En didn't know, but he had no other way!
Another minute passed, and the flood still hadn't come to an end......
They had already hit the trunk several times in a row, but it was Andrea who was hit, and fortunately Xiang En deliberately lowered his body when tying the rope, otherwise he would have been hit at this time.
Boom!
Hit the trunk again......
Time passed, and Xiang En's magic recovered quickly, and he cast three surges on Andrea, restoring her physical strength to half the level of her heyday.
This was followed by the eighth scuba cycle.
No sooner had the spell been cast than the current suddenly changed, and an underwater whirlpool threw the two of them away.
The two rolled under the water several times and collided with several tree trunks, a change that lifted Xiang En's heart.
When he stabilized his body again, two different faint adsorption forces made his heart skip a beat.
The flood is estimated to have hit the mountains, and now the water seems to be scattered on both sides!
