22 CHAPTER XXII
The lion-headed snake is not known for its speed, but it is not something that Moller, who has turned into a human form at this time, can shake off, but fortunately, the lion-headed snake did not pursue it with all its might, but chose to keep attacking his protection with magic behind him, obviously taking a cautious attitude.
"Smack!"
In just a few seconds, the Protective Crystal helped Moller stop several attacks, but it was also damaged, and the crystal turned gray and cobweb-like cracks appeared. Moller tossed the discarded crystal behind him and jumped over a boulder towards a forest in front of him, where he remembered all the magic traps well, so he was sure that if he could reach the woods, he could use the magic traps there to escape.
The lion-headed snake flashed the magic crystal thrown by Moeller, but it was just an ordinary "stone", and it was immediately enraged, only to see its body flick, and it jumped up like a spring, directly spanning a distance of dozens of meters, blocking Moeller's way.
Seeing that he was about to enter the woods, Moller was blocked by a lion-headed snake falling from the sky, so he had no choice but to swing the sixth-order magic sword and use the sharp tip of the sword to stop the lion-headed snake from approaching.
"Whew!"
The lion's head confronted Moller, but the snake's tail unexpectedly pulled from its side.
Before turning into a human form, Moeller had fought against many monsters, including many snake-shaped monsters, and had accumulated a lot of experience in fighting snake-shaped monsters, so he had long been familiar with some of their usual tricks, so he guarded against this hand from the beginning - when the snake's tail was drawn, Moller didn't need to look at it, and directly stabbed the magic sword horizontally, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced into the snake's tail as if it had been designed a long time ago, and the magic attached to the magic sword immediately moved, and a piece of fire exploded on the sword.
"Roar!" the lion-headed snake cried out in pain, like a large pipe of water that was constantly pumping due to lack of water pressure.
The fire on the magic sword made the lion's tail scorched, and it shook it hard, throwing the Mole Lianren sword out more than ten meters away, Mole rolled on the ground a few times, fortunately, he had been holding the magic sword tightly, so the weapon was still there, touched his chest, and after making sure that Rex, who was protected by his left arm, was okay, he continued to run quickly towards the woods.
The lion-headed snake chased after him, crashing into many rocks that stood in his way along the way.
In just a few seconds, when Moller reached the edge of the woods, the lion-headed snake leaped up again, and fell into the woods before him, and its heavy body even crushed two small trees with the thickness of a bowl.
This time, Moeller was not surprised, he quickly pointed his magic sword at a seemingly ordinary stone on the edge of the woods, and then heard the sound of "poof!poof!" Several sharp weapons broke the body, and the lion-headed snake that was doing a fluttering and biting motion was suddenly pierced into a skewer by a dozen sharp stone thorns that suddenly emerged from the ground!
Sure that this high-level demonic beast was dead, Moeller breathed a sigh of relief, and then used his magic sword to cut off the head of the lion-headed snake and put it away, and quickly left without stopping.
The eyes on the head of the lion-headed snake and the poison sac behind the teeth are very precious magic materials, of course, in addition to the head, the silver scales on its body are also good things, but Moeller can only give it up at the moment, because it won't be long before the bloody breath will attract other magical beasts, and if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave after a while.
After a thrilling adventure by the lion-headed snake, Moeller found a place to stay, and after checking to make sure that Rex was not injured from the previous battle, he immediately condensed a fireball to warm and cook, and after eating, he fell asleep in a hurry.
A battle left Moller disgraced, protecting Rex's left arm and knee and other abrasions, but he was so tired that he only cleaned up a little and fell into a deep sleep, and Rex still gave him a fiery red phosgene in his chest after he woke up like last night.
Moller only knew that he had woken up in the morning and that his wounds had healed, and that Rex's lack of energy and long-term sleep had only been regarded as a place to live, and the hard trek had affected the little one's rest.
The next three days were uneventful, and according to the map that had been discovered in advance, Moller was sure that he would be able to leave the forest where he had lived for more than ten years and enter the human world the next day, and his heart could not help but be excited.
Since it was already on the edge of the forest, there were only some weak low-level demonic beasts here, and the number was relatively rare, even the weakened Moeller didn't pay much attention to them, so he set the last foothold in the middle of a clearing without trees, where there were a few boulders, and the hidden gap in the middle was just enough to hide two or three people.
However, Moller did not consider that there would be other adventurers who would use this place as a foothold, and just as he and Rex entered the gap to rest, a group of people arrived, and they did not see Moller and Rex in the boulder, and began to set up tents and light a bonfire.
Moeller and Rex hid in the crevices, observing the group of people through the curious round eyes of magic protection, because of the human language in the inheritance memory, they could understand what Mole and Rex said, from the conversation, Mole learned that the purpose of this group of people to come to the Enchanted Forest was mainly to collect magic plants, because there was a life school magician among them, and he was also a good potions master.
The group seemed to have a good harvest, and they talked and laughed well, and soon the camp was set up, and the life-like magician began to take out a bag of seeds to spread around the camp, and then he took out a two-foot-long brown wooden wand and began to whisper incantations.
Some green light came out of the wand and fell to the ground. Moller watched intently as the magician cast the spell, but what happened next was beyond his expectations, and the magician immediately turned around after casting the spell, pointed his wand at the boulder where Moeller was hiding, and shouted to his companion: "Watch out for the boulder, there is movement inside." ”
It's revealed!
Everyone quickly took up arms and surrounded the boulder where Moeller and the others were hiding. Moeller only appeared at this time, I don't know when, a small green grass like a green silk grew from the periphery of the boulder to the crack, and it had already touched the magic protection he had arranged, and it was shaking its head and tail at him at this time.
In desperation, Moller had no choice but to carry Rex out of the gap.
The people outside obviously didn't expect that it was a teenager hiding in the crack of the boulder, and there was a smaller child in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel a lot less hostile at the moment, but the vigilance was not reduced at all, this is the dangerous Elun Forest, and it is definitely not a normal thing for such a pair to appear here.
"Who are you, and why are you hiding in our camp?" asked a man with a great sword at Moller.
"I ......"
It's one thing to understand, it's another to speak, and Moller wasn't comfortable with using this otherworldly language, so he chose to keep it as short as possible: "I'll come first, you guys...... Afterward. ”
"Oh?"
A bearded strong man next to him sneered and said, "It means that we people have robbed your camp, do you want us to get out of the way for you?"
Moller chose to remain silent.
"Well, it looks like a misunderstanding. ”
The life-school magician spoke to ease the atmosphere, then looked at Mole and Rex in his arms, and said in embarrassment, "It's almost dark now, no matter who you are, it's unlikely that you'll find another camp, so it's better for both of you to get together for the night." Lad, don't mind if our guys check where you're hiding, after all, this is the Monster Forest, and we have to be careful. ”
Moller's expression moved, and finally chose to take two steps back, the man holding the big sword came over vigilantly, glanced at Moller, and carefully probed into the gap with the sword, only to encounter a layer of transparent magic protection at the entrance.
The big sword couldn't advance an inch, and the faces of the people around him changed, and the mage of the Life Sect had an unknown glint in his eyes.
After a while, seeing that the person with the big sword was indeed powerless against his magic protection, Moeller reached out and pressed it somewhere on the boulder, and after a little red light flashed, the defense of the magic array was temporarily unraveled, and the person with the big sword saw the shape inside, so he turned around and said: "There is nothing in it, just a small crack, which can only accommodate two or three people." ”
Hearing what the sword-wielder said, everyone took a few steps back and put away their weapons, and the life-school magician said apologetically to Moeller, "So we can rest assured, would you like to have dinner with us?" Since Moeller had just unlocked the means of the magic array, the life-school magician was sure that the young man was also a magician, because he changed his honorific title.
"No need. Moller nodded to the crowd, and then carried Rex back into the boulder crevice, turning on the protection of the magic circle again.
After Moeller went back to rest, the group gathered around the campfire with solemn faces, and all eyes looked at the magician, who said with a gloomy face: "That magic array is very strong, and it is not a temporary arrangement. ”
"Are you saying there are other people here?" someone asked in surprise, and he didn't believe that the young man had arranged the magic array himself.
The man with the great sword spoke, "That kid can't speak well, as if he hasn't spoken for a long time, and he can still face so many of us with weapons in his hands without moving, is there any other possibility than those secret guards who have been trained by the nobles to live in the shadows all year round?"
"His clothes and boots weren't any ordinary goods, but they were all grown-ups. ”
Another person added: "Although the child in his arms can't see the appearance, but he shows a little golden-red head, the most standard nobles can have such a gorgeous color!"
They put all kinds of details together in this way, and immediately made up some dramas in their brains, which was nothing more than a vendetta between nobles, a loyal secret position, protecting their little master and hiding in the forest full of demonic beasts, and maybe other helpers......
"Whether this kid will have helpers or enemies, if we continue to stay here, we will all become cannon fodder!" A strong man came to this conclusion, and everyone hurriedly packed up their things and left while it was not completely dark.
But the magician denied this suggestion: "If we leave now, it will look suspicious, and if we are mistaken for knowing something, we are ready to tell the ......."
It will only attract hunting!
The magician's words made everyone fall into a dilemma, and they secretly cursed in their hearts that it was really unfortunate that they had encountered such a thing, and in the end they could only choose to stay here for the time being, and leave immediately after dawn tomorrow morning, so as not to cause trouble.
