Chapter 61: The Caterpillar That Escaped
Silriman shook his head and said, "This is impossible, you better not think about it." ”
"Why?" said Catherine, "it can't be that the dean himself took him as a student. ”
According to her idea, as long as the child is not a student of the dean, he can take some means to snatch it over, and this kind of good seedling is very rare.
"That's not it, but his teacher is also a headache. Silriman said with a complicated expression, as if regretting his decision, "His teacher is that guy from Geralson. ”
"Geralson......" Catherine's eyes rolled, "that guy has a bit of strength, and he's bold, smelly and hard, and has a very bad character, and it's really troublesome." ”
Celean was obviously reluctant to discuss this issue, he looked at the scene in the distance, nodded frequently, and said, "Yes, he has already discovered the weakness of the demon butterfly larvae, and it seems that we don't need to take action." Alas, it would be nice if all the students were as carefree as he was. ”
"Huh, worry-free?" Catherine glanced at Silliman, not understanding why his words were so inconsistent.
Outside the Magic Tower, Leo did find the right way to deal with it. Although the caterpillar is large and incredibly heavy, its movements are naturally affected for this reason.
Coupled with its long strip size, which can only wriggle and twist, this makes it less threatening, and Leo only needs to be on the lookout for its possible abilities at all times, and as for pure normal attacks, it can't hurt him at all.
Once again, he quickly dodged the huge body, and Leo knew that if he was swept by the green bristles, even if he had the professor, he could still fall into severe poisoning. However, when the magic weapon and the red dragon bloodline were in play at the same time, his speed had increased to a rather alarming level, and he had no problem calmly dealing with the caterpillar.
"Whew!" the heated arcane sword cut through a tricky arc, cutting precisely through the most fragile crevices of the caterpillar's skin. A thick green liquid gushed out and was easily let out of Leo's way.
The wound looked serious, but for the caterpillar's size, it was only a slight scratch.
However, there have been more than 20 such wounds, which add up to a lot, and it is impossible for the caterpillar to endure endlessly. In addition, Charlene in the magic tower also seized the opportunity to shoot from time to time, which made the already helpless caterpillar even more embarrassed.
It seems that Leo is already invincible, but in fact, only he knows that the situation is not so optimistic. It can even be said to be very dangerous.
Because the consumption of the magic power armament and the red dragon bloodline is very large, and under such a high level of pressure, both physical and mental power are constantly overflowing like a flood.
"Please note that at the current rate of consumption, the subject's spirit value will fall into a high-risk limit after three minutes and twenty-four seconds!" the professor had already issued a warning for the fourth time.
Leo's expression and movements were not affected, but he was secretly bitter in his heart: "It's not a way to go on like this, once my magic power can't be maintained, I'm afraid I will be hit immediately." We have to find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible!"
According to Leo's guess, after such a long time, the caterpillar will be more tenacious. Nor should it keep its morale high always, because it doesn't see any chance of winning, at least for now.
Perhaps, it just needs an opportunity. It's going to make the same decision as yesterday's Queen of Blades.
The question is where this opportunity will come from, it is certainly impossible internally, it can only come from the outside.
Leo couldn't help but look at the Magic Tower. If you can communicate with Charlene, you may be able to create something special to scare the caterpillar away.
The problem is, Charlene hasn't said a word until now.
In this regard, Leo can know why, she must also be retaining her mental power, so as to stimulate as many magic cannons as possible.
With this in mind, Leo immediately set out to act, and now the first thing to do is to get in touch with Charlene first.
After a little thought, Leo quickly had a solution.
As soon as the soul moved, the incantation was recited in the mouth, and a bright flame had appeared in the hand. In order to save mental power, he didn't even choose to cast the level 0 Ming Flame Technique, but instead used the most primitive casting method.
After lighting the flames, Leo gave up his attack on the caterpillars and instead ran as fast as he could, using the flames in his hand to spell words and send a message to Charlene.
In fact, with the current distance from the magic tower, he could use amplification and shout, but in order to prevent the caterpillar from becoming wary, he had to choose this relatively primitive communication method.
A full minute passed, and just when Leo wondered if Charlene hadn't noticed at all, the girl's voice finally came through the magic array: "You let me talk to you?"
In response, Leo finally let out a long breath and continued to spell words with flames: "Find a way to make a move, I can't hold on anymore." ”
"How do you make a move?" Charlene said blankly, "What's the move?"
Leo barely suppressed the tiredness that had begun to surge, and continued to run and replied: "You can move anything, the bigger the better, and the next thing is my business!"
"Oh, oh, well, I'll give it a try. Charlene replied weakly, and there was no movement.
Leo waited patiently, and another minute passed.
He had to make a decision in his heart, hold on for another thirty seconds, if he still did, he had to retreat, otherwise his movements would slow down, and the consequences would be unimaginable. However, he knew very well that he could not retreat towards the magic tower, but could move south, and perhaps the caterpillar would give up after pursuing it for a distance, after all, it would definitely not want to go deep alone.
As for whether this is considered a breakthrough of the defense line and a failure of the mission, Leo is not sure at all.
Just as Leo began to count down silently, suddenly an extremely violent wave of magic power came.
The fluctuation was so alarming that Leo was startled even though he knew that Charlene had made it, and unconsciously looked towards the magic tower.
It's okay not to look at it, but this time, Leo was shocked again.
Not far away, from the top of the magic tower, a dazzling white light burst out, and countless electric snakes flickered and spread in the void. They seem to want to break free, but they are affected by invisible forces and cannot radiate them.
She ...... Shoot at the top of the Magic Tower?" Leo didn't expect Charlene to do that.
But...... That's a lot of movement......
The momentum of the electric ball itself is quite impressive, and after colliding with the defensive circle of the magic tower, the energy released is naturally even more terrifying.
Leo quickly suppressed the sudden acceleration of his heartbeat, and according to the established plan, first chanted the incantation in a low voice, and then laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!" The voice amplified by magic soared into the sky. This suddenness, not to mention the caterpillar, even the two people in the distance, Silriman and Catherine, were stunned, not understanding what was going on.
Why is that kid crazy? Why do you suddenly burst into laughter?
Seeing the caterpillar's movements stiffen, Leo immediately stimulated the previously quietly suppressed red dragon bloodline to the extreme, and raised the arcane sword in his hand, deliberately shouting in the standard lingua franca: "Reinforcements have arrived, obey my orders! Follow my footsteps!"
As soon as the words fell, he was already taking firm steps. Charged at the caterpillar.
This roar, under the amplification of the amplification technique and the increase of Long Wei, was even more deafening than the previous laughter, and it carried an incomparable majestic momentum.
Moment. That tiny figure turned out to be incomparably taller, like an ancient beast, and behind him, there were thousands of horses!
"Ang!" the caterpillar roared. This time, however, its voice was no longer full of anger, but full of fear.
Under the influence of Long Wei, its fears were severely amplified. Even beyond the scope of bearing.
The next moment, the caterpillar turned around, its tail became bulging, and it exploded with a bang, and the gray smoke gushing out instantly flooded a large area of the environment behind it.
Worried about the harm of the mist, Leo hurriedly cast an energy shield to resist. Fortunately, the fog was not corrosive, but in it, his vision, hearing, and even perception were all weakened to an unacceptable degree, and he could not even distinguish anything a meter away.
Leo was on high alert, but not too worried, for he could see that the mist was supposed to be a form of protection for escape, like the ink squid spewed.
Sensing that his mental power was already on the verge of danger, Leo stopped his magic armament, and instead of casting wind magic to blow away the fog, he chose to wait quietly in place. If the fog dissipates quickly, and the caterpillar finds out that there is a problem and attacks reflexively, it will really want to cry without tears, and can only wait for death.
After a few minutes, the fog dissipated, and the caterpillar was long gone, and Leo let go in one breath, and suddenly his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.
The mental power was seriously consumed, and the fatigue of physical overdraft hit him, making his eyes black and his head dizzy. Luckily, the threat is gone, and Leo is very happy to have managed to do so. Although he was weakened, he was able to defend his line and was not injured, which was almost the best result.
In the distance, Silliman touched his white beard again and said, "Catherine, if it were you, what would you do if you encountered the situation just now?"
Catherine raised her eyebrows and replied, "What can you do, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run." ”
"Yes, that's what the vast majority of people would do. Siriman smiled, and then added, "So, this kid is very cunning, and he is not destined to be an ordinary person. ”
Catherine didn't refute, looking at Leo's eyes and sparkling: "If I train him for a while, he will be even more unusual, I'm going to go back and talk to Geralson about this, if that guy dares to refuse, I don't mind having a good fight with him." ”
Hearing her say this, Silriman showed a worried expression: "Are you sure you can beat Geralson? He has already let go of the suppression and taken the initiative to be promoted to the senior level, and you are only one level higher than him now." ”
"Even if that guy is a monster, I'm going to give it a try. Catherine clenched her fists and said. There is no consciousness that he is one level higher than the other party.
"I'm sure everybody will be cheering you on. After Silriman finished speaking, he suddenly said to Hutche, "Let's go back too, it seems that there is nothing to do." Alas, people don't have as much energy as they used to be, so I have to hurry up and get some sleep. ”
........................
Taking the plunge out of the magic tower and dragging the weakened Leo back, Charlene said in shock: "You are so powerful! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I might never have believed what had just happened! The caterpillar looked like a frightened rabbit when it ran away, and you were a lion chasing after you!"
"It's just the right time and the right luck. Leo pretended to be humble, but he was very proud in his heart, and he was still wondering if his performance would get extra points.
Seeing Leo's pale face and in a bad state, Charlene suggested: "You go and have a good rest, I don't think there should be anything going on." ”
Leo really wanted to rest, but he knew that this idea was unrealistic, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "No, so many corpses are still disposed of, leave them alone, I don't know what the consequences will be, but before that, I do need to rest for an hour or so, and the matter of vigilance will be handed over to you." ”
As he spoke, without being refuted by the other party, Leo took out a few bottles of potion and poured them into his stomach one after another. There are those that restore physical fitness, those that increase the speed of mental recovery, and most importantly, a bottle that can significantly combat the craving for sleep.
Leo didn't tell Charlene that his biggest fear wasn't actually a corpse, but the Queen of Blades. God knows if that monster will take advantage of the fight he just had with the caterpillar and come to launch a surprise attack.
An hour later, Leo had recovered six or seven percent of his state, and then left the magic tower on full alert, walking towards the pile of corpses in the distance.
The job was not for girls, and it was unpleasant, and he did it for nearly two hours, until Leo felt his nerves go numb, and barely managed to gather all the corpses together.
Just as he was about to light the fire, a sudden tingling sensation came from his back.
Leo almost subconsciously activated his protective magic and dodged sideways, but a second later he found that there were no enemies nearby.
"What's going on?" Leo looked around in disbelief, making eye contact with a pair of eyes that shimmered red under the night sky. (To be continued.) )
