Chapter 176: A Fierce Enemy from the Abyss
readx;
The night was no different from the previous days, with a gentle breeze blowing through the camp and the smell of early autumn giving people a feeling of refreshment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 A few young magicians were in charge of the night, and they sat around the campfire, talking and laughing in low voices, and the faint starlight sprinkled down, making the forest a little more poetic.
Everything is normal, only Qi Fanke is not normal!
From beginning to end, Han Jin did not allow him to leave, and Qi Fanke also knew very well that he had a lot of inside information, in this case, it was already benevolent and righteous not to kill him, so he never had much to do, and only existed silently.
He didn't even dare to build a hut for himself, God knows if he was a prisoner now? He didn't want to attract anyone's attention, so he finally found some hay and twigs, and built himself a den in the corner of the camp, which, to be honest, was not much better than a kennel, but he was satisfied, and it was enough to have food and a place to rest.
There was silence all around, so much so that Chifank could hear his own slightly rapid breathing, and his forehead, cheeks, chest, back, and hands were covered with cold sweat, and then the night wind blew him, and he felt a chill all over his body.
He was able to survive in the most vicious place to this day, and the eyesight inherited from his mother saved him many times, and no one in the entire camp could detect the abnormality, but he clearly saw that a behemoth was quietly approaching!
He knew what the behemoth was, and even the owner of the behemoth! Two years ago, he happened to see that an inconspicuous mercenary team and the dragon bard mercenary group almost broke out into a conflict, at that time, the mercenary team had a lot of people, and there were only five people on the side of the dragon bard mercenary group, but the leader of the dragon bard mercenary group, Yalong Knight Duye Sam, happened to be present, it stands to reason that they have the absolute upper hand, and Duye Sam alone is enough to kill all the mercenary teams, not to mention that standing next to Duye Sam are his close partners who have been through a hundred battles.
But the result was dumbfounded, when the mercenary team quietly released the behemoth, Duye Sam stepped forward to stop the angry partner, negotiated with the mercenary team with a pleasant face, and finally divided the disputed spoils equally according to the number of people, you know, there are only five people present in the dragon bard mercenary group, and it is absolutely unfair to Duye Sam to divide it evenly according to the number of people!
Qi Fanke felt very strange, with the strength of the dragon bard mercenary group, and with the status and identity of the Wulong Knight Duye Sam, there was no need to compromise with anyone! It happened that he was free at that time, so he secretly launched an investigation, but within a few days, he took the initiative to give up, because more and more things were found out, and even made him feel creepy, he really didn't dare to continue.
The stealthy behemoth looked a lot like a two-legged wyvern, but it was many times larger than a two-legged wyvern, and Qi Fanke looked at a lot of ancient books for this, and finally judged that it was the abyssal snake! The abyssal snake is rarer than the dragon, it is the mount of the abyssal demon god in the legend, and it is born with stealth ability, and the most terrifying thing is the third eye on the forehead of the abyssal snake, the eye of the demon god's evil curse!
Once opened, the Demon God's Cursed Eye can turn a person or other life into a stone statue, unlike the petrification stunt possessed by the Medusa nobles, petrification is a kind of magic that can be dispelled and can also return to normal with the disappearance of the elements, while the Demon God's Cursed Eye has an irreversible elemental annihilation power, and becoming a stone statue means complete death.
Maybe it's because they have the Abyss Serpent, or maybe it's because they show the origin of the leader, the name of the mercenary team is Abyss! And the real reason why the Abyss Mercenary Team is nameless is that they rarely take on tasks, they only go around the Warcraft Forest all year round, and occasionally go back to Lonely Cliff City, and when they go back, they just rest for a few days before setting off again. Mercenaries want to make a name for themselves, they can only make a fuss about the task, the more tasks they complete, the more difficult the task, the more attention-grabbing, like the style of the abyss mercenary squad, naturally they will be buried, do you want to follow them around and observe what they do?
At this point, Qi Fanke stopped the secret investigation, which can make Duye Sam feel that the existence is by no means something he can afford to provoke, and if he is discovered, his fate will definitely be very miserable.
The behemoth was already less than a hundred meters away from the camp, Qi Fanke's body trembled slightly, he could see that on the back of the Abyss Serpent, there were two red shadows, one of which should be the owner of the Abyss Serpent, that is, the captain of the Abyss Squad, the mysterious summoner, and the other should be the magician, because none of the magic sentry raised the alarm, it was obviously cracked by the magician! And the strength of the magician should be very strong, at least in the aspect of the magic sentry, otherwise it is impossible to crack the magic sentry released by a magister.
However, their movements are so slow, and the magic sentry posts scattered all over the mountains should also cause them a certain amount of trouble, but unfortunately, it is just trouble!
What to do? Escape? Chifank asked himself, he didn't want to go against the weird and terrifying mercenaries in the camp, and he didn't want to die for anyone.
At this moment, Erwin, who was sitting by the campfire, stood up and sniffed hard, he faintly smelled a fishy smell, the experience of this time told him that it seemed that a demonic beast was approaching!
"Erwin, what's wrong?" asked a young magician.
"I'll take a look over there. Erwin reached out and pointed to the side, "Something seems wrong." ”
The magician shrugged his shoulders, with the Dean in charge, and the defensive magic array in the camp, he felt that everyone was safe.
"It's all your fault!" a female magician sneered, "You just told the story of the necromancer, and you must have scared Erwin!"
"Oh my God...... Poor Elwin. The other magician smiled as well.
Erwin ignored the ridicule behind him and continued to walk forward, he was a very serious person, and he had to make it clear.
Soon, he stood at the fence, quietly looking out, under the faint starlight, everything was normal, but the smell of the fish seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Erwin whispered a word of magic, and a shining ball of light flew out, instantly illuminating the entire hillside, and the magic released by Erwin alarmed the other companions, and the magicians rushed over, but there was nothing to see except patches of shaking grass.
"Elwin, what's going on?" the sorceress asked, frowning.
"I ...... It just doesn't feel right!" Erwin scratched his head, he also felt embarrassed, "Do you smell a stench?"
"Smelly?" The sorceress twitched her nose a few times, then took a step back, her eyes wide with rage, "You guys...... It's been a few days since I took a shower?!"
"I washed it yesterday!" argued a magician, but he was a little lacking, and sniffed his armpits.
"Really......" The female magician fanned the tip of her nose a few times with her hand: "Forget it, I won't accompany you to stay on duty all night!"
"Hey, don't go!" several magicians shouted in unison, the so-called male and female matching, not tired of work, accompanied by a female companion, this night of chatting passed in the blink of an eye, leaving a group of men somewhat boring.
"I'm not going to stay here and smell your stench!" the sorceress rolled her eyes, turned lightly, and walked toward her own wooden shed.
"Elwin, it's all your fault!" a magician grumbled helplessly.
"Oops...... Our Erwin is probably the first magician in history to be frightened by the smell of his own sweat, right?" said the other magician.
Erwin blushed, he sniffed his clothes vigorously, and sure enough, there was a strong smell of sweat, and he hadn't taken a shower for three days.
Erwin took another long breath and said with difficulty, "But...... I felt the stench wafting from the outside. ”
"What's out there? It's the Talasia Forest!!" The magician, apparently not wanting to argue any further, said in a tone of lesson, "This is what the forest tastes like! Elwin, this is not your home, so ...... You have to get used to it, you know?"
Erwin spread his hands helplessly, he was persuaded by his companions, maybe it was really his own delusion, the next moment, Erwin turned around and wanted to go back to the campfire with his companions, a spiritual light suddenly came to his mind! He finally understood why he felt wrong, because the fishy smell was regular, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, as if something was breathing at him.
Surely it is not right! Erwin suddenly turned around, and at the moment when he tried his best to open his eyes to see what was going on, his body suddenly became stiff, and even his magic robe and hair froze there, and a gust of wind blew, and his hair fell off piece by piece, falling to the ground and turning into flying dust, and a little crystal gradually disappeared from Erwin's eyes. And his cheeks quickly became rough, the curse took some time, at least Erwin could sense what was happening to him, and he let go of his left hand with the last of his strength, it was the only movement he could make.
In fact, Erwin was a very alert and intelligent young man, and he grew up very quickly, and he and Asa were highly valued by Arina, but he lacked enough luck! In this chaotic continent, it is not uncommon to die young, although it is regrettable.
"Elwin!" cried a magician, a little annoyed.
"Be quiet, don't wake the adults up!" said another magician.
"But look ......at him," the magician was halfway through his speech, when he suddenly said no more, for the magic wand in Erwin's left hand fell to the ground and shattered like a stone.
It's a pity that Erwin's last efforts did not alert his companions, because they had not yet seen the real enemy, and several magicians actually walked towards Erwin's stone statue, but just two steps, their bodies became stiff almost at the same time,
Qi Fank had been observing the movement here from beginning to end, he suddenly thought of something, his face instantly became distorted, and then he turned over and jumped up, and a series of sharp cries pierced the quiet sky: "Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!
