Chapter 57: The Calm Before the Storm
Seeing Leo and Charlene turn around and leave, quickly disappearing from sight, the two gritted their teeth and walked in the other direction.
At the same time, Leo let out a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't think that those two people would be his opponents, if they really went crazy and wanted to die with him, the result would be very troublesome, and it might even seriously affect the rest of the game.
Fortunately, they were finally timid, and a farce ended.
Charlene looked at Leo like a monster: "You really destroyed Toliani's nameplate?"
Leo nodded and smiled wryly, "That's right, but I don't blame me for this." He was the one who provoked first, and if I didn't destroy his nameplate, he would come and destroy mine. ”
Charlene pursed her lips and said, "I didn't mean that, you actually ...... that guy Toliani"
Speaking of this, she thought about the scene when Leo faced the humanoid spider demon alone, and finally shook her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's continue to search for it quickly." ”
Soon, the two of them searched all the way to the main area of the Boundary River, but still couldn't find anything. They didn't dare to cross the boundary river, and because of what had just happened, they didn't dare to go too far from their magic tower, so as not to be attacked by other teams, and finally reluctantly returned to the magic tower at noon.
Leo hadn't rested all night and all morning, so as soon as he got back, he went to the lounge and fell asleep. He slept until the evening, and then he woke up satisfied.
Arriving at the top of the Magic Tower, Charlene was fiddling with her fingers in boredom.
Leo asked, "How's it going, what's the situation?"
"Nothing. Charlene replied and asked, "How are you resting?"
"Good, well, finally a good night's sleep. ”
After a brief conversation between the two, Leo accepted the defensive magic circle while Charlene went to prepare dinner.
Another few hours passed. The purple moon rose into the sky again, emitting an oppressively faint glow, and the areas against it looked even more eerie.
Charlene said with some uneasiness: "Leo, where did you say that humanoid spider demon went?"
Leo thought for a moment and replied, "Since the academy mission mentions it, I think it must still be nearby, and it must have found a hidden place to hide." ”
Hearing him say this, Charlene's expression became even more solemn: "Then it suffered a big loss from us yesterday, maybe it will come over today." ”
"That's right, that guy seems to be very vindictive. I think so too. Leo couldn't agree more.
As he was talking, a fireball emitting orange light suddenly rose in the far reaches of the north, and after reaching the sky, it exploded again, very dazzling.
"That's ......" Leo looked at Charlene, who, according to his guess, might be some kind of flare from the Academy.
Charlene understood what Leo meant, but shook her head and said, "I don't know, there was no such thing yesterday." ”
Leo just wanted to ask a few more questions. Suddenly, I felt the nameplate emit heat.
"It's a new mission!" he hurriedly pulled out the task card and read it.
Unexpectedly, the task card is not a task, but a special reminder: Attention to all participants. For some reason, an unprecedented number of spiders and mothmen have appeared in the northern direction, and there may be many powerful enemies mixed in, so be sure to defend yourself. Don't leave the Magic Tower easily. In addition, this incident is an emergency and is not a branch task. In the event of an event that you cannot handle, you can immediately activate the nameplate and abandon the match.
"What's going on?" Charlene's eyes widened, and there was confusion and worry in her voice.
Leo thought of something, and guessed uncertainly: "Could it be related to the humanoid spider demon?
"Quite possibly!" Charlene looked at the still-quiet canyon, "If that's the case, we ...... yesterday"
Although the words were not finished, Leo could not understand what she was trying to say. Once the humanoid spider demon and those creatures from the north converge, it is difficult to guarantee that their magic tower will not be used as their main target.
Seeing that Leo didn't move, Charlene said anxiously, "What should we do?"
At this time, Leo calmed down and replied: "What can we do, the soldiers are coming, we have to give up the game, but this is the final decision." I would never do this unless I had to. ”
"Good...... All right. Charlene nodded helplessly.
In this case, there is really no good way, because according to the requirements of the mission, they can only get any support now, they can only stick to the magic tower, and once they abandon the magic tower, it will cause the entire defense line to collapse.
Worried that Charlene would make some uncool moves, Leo comforted: "Don't worry, from the arrangement of this mission, it can be seen that the academy has made a very careful plan, it is impossible not to expect this kind of thing, and it is impossible for them to ignore the safety of our lives, so there will definitely be nothing." ”
"You're right. Charlene responded, looking a little more relaxed.
However, as time passed, nothing unusual came from Zhengwei, which made Charlene gradually fall into anxiety again, and even Leo began to worry.
There is no doubt that this is the calm before the storm, and the calmer it is, the more violent it will be when the storm comes! Fortunately, after a day's rest, both of them are in good condition at present.
This kind of time always seems particularly difficult, and an hour has passed, but it seems that a whole night has passed.
Leo simply closed his eyes to recuperate, not letting his physical and mental strength be consumed needlessly, while Charlene connected to the magic array and monitored the surrounding situation.
After a while, Charlene's shrill cry suddenly sounded, "Here they are! Magic is above, what is that!"
Leo Huoran opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the canyon, and sure enough, he saw a moving black shadow. But in the darkness, he couldn't see too clearly, so he asked repeatedly, "What? What do you see?"
"That's ...... That's ......" Charlene seemed to be frightened, and she couldn't even finish her words.
There was no way, Leo had to cast the "Eagle Eye Technique" on himself, the magic took effect, and the vision was extended, and when he saw clearly what it was, he couldn't help but be surprised.
At the entrance to the canyon, countless spiders and mothmen are rushing out, seemingly at least in the hundreds, and between them, a huge worm is twenty meters long! )
