Chapter 302: The Battle of the Sandbox 5
The whirlpool of the blizzard enveloped the shards of the snow cap, which were as hard as rocks, and smashed into the head and head of the Ancestral Mage. She hurriedly reinforced her shields to block the attack from nowhere.
The heavy clouds pressed low on the land, as if they were also drawn into the whirlpool of this blizzard, the clouds were pulled lower, rolled in the fog of snow, the sky and the ground were cloudy, and she suspected that her place was more like a mountaintop.
But none of that mattered, the clouds rolled and tore open a gap, revealing a snow-covered mountain canyon, and at that moment, a huge shadow flashed through the gap.
She shuddered, startled by the size of the shadow, and made her vaguely aware of how Du Zhengyi had made an attack without any traces of magic.
It was too late to escape, a huge head poked out of the maelstrom of the blizzard, she clearly saw the armor-like scales covering the top of the skull, and the pair of huge ice-blue eyes under the helmet were unusually cloudy, as if there was a thin layer of skin on the eyeballs, which looked dirty and dirty. At first she didn't realize she saw the thing's mouth, but as it roared, she finally realized that the jagged row of bones were its teeth, and that the purple-black limb the thickness of an arm was actually its tongue.
The blizzard swirling again obscured the monster's shadow, but the attack was close at hand. She instinctively strengthened the shield erected by the spell, and in a single breath, the monster roared out of the ice vortex and headed straight for her. It reached out a huge claw that resembled an eagle's talon and struck her, gouging into the transparent shield at a distance of half a meter in front of her.
The magical energy on the shield swirled and inflicted a basic electric shock on the monster, sending the misshapen creature a thunderous roar, writhing its fat body and vibrating its massive wings, ruffling the clouds and the blizzard beneath them. It was the size of a train, and it whizzed back behind the clouds on the mountain, but it was only a rout, and before she could catch her breath, the monster reappeared. This time it attacked from behind, trying to sneak up on her back.
It doesn't seem to have a very high IQ, but it's cunning enough for an animal, after all, it has a physical advantage to supplement it. After another electric shock, it drove the train back to the back of the blizzard, but she knew it was near her, lingering like a nightmare in the clouds around her.
She now fully remembered what it was, it was also a creature made and collected by the Ancestral Mage. It should be said that it is one of many creatures, she has seen it, but she has not cared about it, and now she can't remember its number, and she only knows a thing or two about its physiological habits. As for how these things ended up in the ground, she wouldn't have known that much detail after she was imprisoned. This thing was too big to be among the Seal Beasts she had collected. If someone collects this monster behind her, stuffs it into a sandbox, makes it live in the form of a seal, and then passes the sandbox from generation to generation, this is also considered normal behavior. Maybe this sandbox has been passed around in the Qionglin a few times, and finally belongs to an outstanding battle mage, to a lonely mountain guard, then she has no other way but to consider herself unlucky. In addition to her resentment, she tasted a hint of bitterness, because she insisted on keeping the Sealing Beast to use in the first place, and she didn't expect that she would have to face the cause and effect she had planted after she had just obtained it. She also had some unlucky premonitions, as if everything would not be as sure as she had hoped. Times have changed, and she is like a product of an old era.
She recalled the creature data she remembered, and judging by the appearance of the creature in front of her, it was suitable for living in extremely cold regions. She vaguely remembered that the creatures hibernate underground during the coldest time of the year. This also explains why she has experienced several earthquakes since she arrived here, and it must have been awakened and was restlessly preparing to break out of its shell.
And also, why did Du Zhengyi let her go, didn't chase her, and even disappeared himself. She could guess how the half-bug-like creature survived and preyed on in the bitter cold, and it probably relied on detecting heat sources in the snow and ice to find its targets. Du Zheng threw her out of the creature's range, and when she turned to run away, he might have simply teleported farther, making her a big target. She also stupidly added heat to her surroundings, and just as she was keeping herself warm, the second earthquake was just worse.
Of course, she also wanted to teleport away like Du Zhengyi, but the motor part of Luo Qi's brain structure was not developed compared to that of a mage. His brain has put most of its strengths in telepathy, sacrificing some of his motor abilities. While Roach may have the best braincase she could find in the world, she also has to sacrifice some of her abilities and be completely limited by Roach's hardware.
The thing that looked like a train rushed down from it again, hitting her once in a frenzy, and then a second time, even though her shield was still there, the visual impact of being crushed by the front of the train was quite staggering.
She was so angry that she couldn't wait to find out Du Zhengyi now, take away his brain, and let him only drool for the rest of his life.
She watched angrily as the thing drove the train into it again, and as it slammed, her magic shield began to wear off. Any magic involves the conversion of energy, and the protective effect of the magic shield consumes her energy as well. She thought angrily that not all mages could be as accustomed to not using magic for long periods of time as Du Zhengyi, and to being able to fight with minimal energy consumption.
Now she understood why her spell-solving magic couldn't get any traces of magic, because the thing driving the train was a creature. Creature, of course, won't let her spell-unraveling magic be of any use. It's like she's scanning for a high-level form of attack, but Du Zhengyi sent a mad dog to bite her, and she didn't think it was a mad dog until she was bitten. She herself was calculated by Du Zhengyi, but a lot of energy was consumed. She finally understood how Du Zhengyi could still move around as a battle mage after he was almost exposed to magical energy. For Du Zhengyi, it seems that he has been fighting a battle of being outnumbered, but he is a master of strategy, and he can deal with such a lack of situation.
The irascible creature was still pounding against her shield, and the amount of energy she could use was decreasing, and she guessed that Du Zhengyi also had some clever way to monitor this place, and he was very good at solving problems in a roundabout way. Once a crack appears in her energy shield, Du Zhengyi will inevitably seize the opportunity to raid her. So she had only one choice, she could only use more energy to deal with this crazy creature and take it out first. But she was also worried that this choice was the only choice left to her by Du Zhengyi, and everything was still in his calculations. If she had taken this step, she might have complied with Du Zhengyi's trap. 11
