Chapter 82: The Swarm
The ash forest is, of course, gray, and white and gray are the dominant colors of the pale mountains.
Walking among the ash forests, the shadowy branches dance gently in the wind, which sounds beautiful, but in reality it looks like gray-white dry bones of different shapes, hanging on the trees and waving their teeth and claws towards the intruders, as if they could pounce at any moment.
And the ground is full of extremely tough curved vine-like plants, especially the top is covered with tiny spikes, which makes it difficult to guard against.
But these obstacles are only five words for Leon - and they are nothing.
After several evenly matched battles, his control over the power of his body is no longer what it was yesterday, and every step he takes shatters the strange plants within a few meters of his feet, and both the plants and the thick branches hanging in front of him are cut off by the "spider thorn", leaving a wide passage for those behind him.
"It's strange here......" Sophia whispered behind the dwarf master, who was no more than half his height.
"Nothing!" Kaka walked straight, "It's just that the plants have mutated after being invaded by the forces of darkness, so it feels a little weird." ”
Having said that, Sophia still didn't dare to run around like she used to.
Melissa had been deep into some forests before, but at that time she was alone, alone in the forest looking at the seemingly endless shadows of the trees, and from time to time there was a faint noise in her ears, which would make her nervous all the time.
But this time she didn't feel this way at all, I don't know if it was because of the courage of many people, or because there was that "vicious" young regiment leader in front of her.
She looked at the priest girl next to her, and moved a little closer, hoping that this would make the other party feel safer.
Now that Sophia was no longer chattering, the team was much more silent than before, and for a moment there was only the rustle of footsteps on the ground.
However, such a rustling sound seems to be somewhat unusual.
Leon quickly retreated to the group, and Caterina caught up with her, saying, "Something's coming!"
"Good response," Kaka complied, and then he said to the young men, "Your regimental commander said that I won't take action unless there is real danger this time, it's up to you." ”
After that, the dwarf pulled out a thick blanket and spread it on the ground out of nowhere, ignoring the eyes around him, and just lay down and prepared to watch the play.
"Sophia, you stay next to Master Kaka, Melissa and Jeff, you are two in a group, with Sophia as the center, stand in a triangle with me and Katarina, the enemy should be a mutated black aphid, the strength is not strong, but there are a lot of them. ”
The battlefield map showed that the black aphids hidden in the nearby woods could not be counted at all, and there was a steady stream of black aphids coming in 10 meters away, those black and hard thick shells, sharp tentacles and long claws mixed together and constantly wriggling, making Leon feel cold for a while.
When they gather to a certain number, the mutated black aphids begin to move.
"Here it is, ready to fight. ”
As soon as Leon's order was given, Caterina immediately raised her long sword, and a wave of fluctuations emanated from her body, instantly enveloping the entire mercenary group members.
"Ring of Solemnity!"
At the same time, a hint appeared in Leon's field of vision.
"Hint, you've gained a buff: Ring of Majesty, increased protection level by 2, and lasted for 15 minutes. ”
"Wow!" Li Ang gave a thumbs up in his heart, the official knight was really different, the buff effect was very practical, and the time was several times longer.
Sophia also added two buffs to the four teammates who were about to fight, and Leon looked at the three prompts on the panel and suddenly thought - in the near future, it would not be impossible to hang a few rows of "buffs" before the battle, as in the game......
......
Mutant black aphids came, and hundreds of them poured into everyone's eyes at the same time from all directions, looking dense and overwhelming.
"Sophia, keep an eye on the two of them at any time!" After Li Ang finished speaking, the long sword was slapped out casually, and the few black aphids that had already pounced on him were immediately smashed, and even his naturally tough thick shell could not block his casual blow.
"Arc Slash!"
The knight maiden's "furious fire" cut through the air in a long arc, cutting at least seven or eight black aphids into two pieces and falling to the ground with a scorching smell.
In the last position of the triangle defense, Melissa had already jumped out, holding two magic daggers in both hands and shuttling back and forth between the black aphids, and the fragments of the black aphid's corpse were constantly thrown outward as she danced with her hands chopping melons and vegetables, and the sound looked more ferocious than Leon and Katarina.
Jeff stood behind and fired his bow left and right, and the long arrows shot continuously, but as soon as they came into contact with the thick shell of the black aphid, they deflected, and it seemed to have no effect on it.
"The thick shell of this insect is naturally protected against long-range attacks, and your strength is too small," Li Ang, who had been taking care of the whole audience, took the time to point.
Jeff looked at the longbow in his hand, and then at Melissa's agile figure, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he threw the longbow down, drew the longsword with his backhand, stood in place and shouted loudly, and then rushed into the swarm without hesitation.
Now it seems that if you ignore the number of bugs, then several young people in the mercenary group are still quite interesting.
However, the number of bugs has become completely impossible to ignore.
Leon and Caterina had killed nearly a hundred mutated black aphids in such a short time, but the insects that continued to pour in from the trees that obscured their vision seemed endless, and in some places they had even piled up several layers, scrambling to rush towards the humans who broke into the ash forest.
Melissa had already begun to be injured, and Jeff was even more scarred, fortunately it didn't look too strict, but then their bodies suddenly began to numb, and their arms were also sore, and their movements immediately slowed down for a while.
The black aphids seem to have a little wisdom, they have taken the weaker point as an important target, and the attack is even more crazy, coupled with the abnormality of the body, Jeff and Melissa are immediately in danger.
"Sophia, get rid of their toxins," Leon commanded with a whirlwind slash that cleared the surrounding insects within two meters, and immediately ordered before the next batch continued to pour in.
The "Starlight Sacred Seal" shimmered in Sophia's hands, instantly expelling the abnormalities of the two people's bodies, and the subsequent restoration magic helped them regain their battle line.
"Katerina, you go and help them hold that side, and I'll give it to this side. ”
The knight girl silently retreated backwards, then "swooped" near a black aphid in front of Jeff, and then "arced slash" to cut off all the insects in this area.
Then she raised her sword above her head and chanted, "Faith Protection!"
Power fluctuations emanated from her body and spread to Jeff and Melissa's bodies, and all three of them shimmered slightly.
“...... There's a lot of tricks," Leon relaxed, concentrating on the swarm in front of him.
The strength of these bugs is not strong, at most it is equivalent to level 3 or 4 in the first order, and his original purpose was to give Jeff, Melissa and Sophia the opportunity to hone their skills, so that they can grow to the fullest.
But he didn't expect that the number of insects was unimaginable, and he had heard the story of ants swallowing elephants, so he had to go all out to reduce their numbers from now on, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for these little things to trouble the alchemy master.
"Whirlwind Slash!"
"Slash!"
"Whirlwind Slash!"
Ranged combat skills poured out, quickly and effectively harvesting these "weak" creatures.
Gradually, the corpse fragments of the insects had flooded the surface of his feet, and at least more than 200 black aphids had died within 10 meters around him, but at a glance, there was still a black pressure behind him.
"I'm ...... It's a big fuss this time, could it be that Old Jack last time he crashed back in the passage because of these bugs?"
If he was the only one here, Leon would be ecstatic, because the 30 experience tips for each bug were refreshed like a waterfall, and there were countless 10 experience tips for other members of the team to kill the bugs, and he had contributed at least more than 7,000 experience points so far, and if he could, he would simply want to brush it to the end of the world.
But after all, there are other members of the group, and Jeff doesn't have the terrifying strength and survivability of his own, so the top priority is to reduce the number of bugs while observing their sources.
However, the fragments of the corpse under his feet were too annoying, so Li Ang casually kicked the fragments within a few meters into powder, and finally gave him a "comfortable" field.
"Come on," Leon thought silently, not believing that the swarm was really endless, just an illusion for everyone before reaching the limit of numbers.
And Caterina on the other side was also thinking like this, so she was also fighting at the forefront, and at least a hundred bugs were eliminated in her hands.
Since becoming an official knight, she has grown well in both physical and physical fitness, and the most valuable thing is that Austin has taught her many knightly skills out of appreciation for her, and after a period of practice, these skills have gradually become proficient, allowing her to protect Jeff and Melissa while causing a lot of damage to the black aphid swarm.
"At last, I can do my duty to protect them again," said Caterina.
