Chapter 296: Legacy 10
The sudden stop, the violent friction between the sole of the shoe and the ground, immediately provided the resistance to stabilize the body, and then the force was again violently underfooted.
In an instant, Gehr reversed his direction and turned his forward stance into a sideways lunge.
Call!
A fierce gust of wind from nowhere stirred the surrounding mist into a swirl, swept like a long stick along a twisted line past where Gehr had been, blowing the loose strands of hair in front of him to the back of his head.
Although he successfully dodged this attack, in the same way, Gehr changed direction and the distance from the exit was correspondingly farther away, which was considered to have achieved the goal that the attacker wanted to fight.
With his hands on the ground, Gell stood up again. At this time, he suddenly found that there were several gray-white lines shaking in front of his eyes, and his right hand subconsciously fished it out in front of his face, and a crisp feeling of fragmentation instantly spread from his palm to his brain.
"This is hair?"
Spreading out his palm, Gehr suddenly found that there was a section of hair that had been broken into several pieces, but now the hair was no longer soft and shiny, but turned gray-white, rough to the touch, like limestone after weathering for thousands of years, and it would shatter at the slightest touch.
This is the obvious petrification reaction in the spell system extended by the earth-based energy particles, and it is obvious that these few hairs of his have been petrified. Although his body had dodged the attack, some strands of hair were still affected.
At that moment, from where the air currents came, came a rather peculiar sound, like a mixture of the crowing of a rooster and the neighing of snakes, and there was a very strange hoarseness.
Turned. The area where the illusion was located was covered in a surging mist, and a large black shadow slowly emerged from it. Then he saw the assailant's face clearly.
It can be clearly seen that this is a very strange-looking creature. Overall, it can be seen as a huge bird, with a rooster-like head, claws, and a multicolored feather crown, but its body is similar to that of a snake, with an elongated body and smooth, fine scales, but it is many times larger and thicker than the python, which is the behemoth of snakes. In the center of its back and spine, there is a row of bone spurs that look like bones are formed by extension, and in the dim environment there is a cold cold light, which looks very hideous.
It is the scientific name of Babbros. Or it can be called a chicken, snake, and beast.
Gehr immediately recognized this guy who was quite famous on the Universal Dangerous Beast Chart.
This is a terrifying mutant beast, the earliest record of it is from the Phimus faction, who created the initial model of petrified spells, and was raised on a large scale by wizards in the Second Age as a practical beast with considerable research value, and was even used as a support beast for ordinary legions to participate in wars. However, after the fall of Emperor Emler and the collapse of his wizarding empire, the mutant beast gradually disappeared from human view, and only a few existed in areas that were difficult for wizards to touch.
The intelligence of the Chicken Snake Beast is very low, in the words left by the wizards at that time, even ten Chicken Snake Beasts combined are not comparable to a pig, but the stupid creatures can survive and be favored by the wizards, that must be that they have very outstanding characteristics in other places.
As a dangerous mutant beast. The Chicken Snake Beast is born with a powerful petrified aura and illusion-making ability, but in the latter ability, due to its own intelligence limitations, it can only mechanically play the scenes it has seen. And it's easy to dissipate, but it's more than enough to trap their prey and hold it up to the point where it comes into its own attack range.
Note that the danger here refers to the wizard. As for ordinary people, if they encounter such a terrible creature, they must make a choice - whether to end their lives on their own initiative and be eaten by it or be eaten by it directly.
"Something is wrong!"
Gehr looked at the monster in front of him, whose body was surrounded by countless bands of earthy yellow light, and stared at him with bright red eyes. It was as if a cold metallic reflection of light was slicing through the pupils of red glass from time to time, and it was clear that this fellow, who had not been exposed to oil and water for at least hundreds of years, had taken himself as its prey.
All of a sudden. The alarm in Geer's heart sounded wildly, and the mist in front of him began to churn like boiling water, and the chicken snake beast had turned into a huge black shadow and rushed straight to Geer's location.
As a creature with a similar body structure to a rooster, the's attack is similar to that of a relative who is not known how far away, and it is its claws that are used to hunt Gehr with a pounce. The pair of claws looked no different from chicken claws, but they were large when stretched out, and it was no problem to hold the upper body of Gehr, and the ends of its claws were not as friendly as those of a common rooster, at least more than thirty of which were curved hooks like well-crafted weapons, shimmering with a chilling sheen in the chaos of mist.
If Gehr had been hit head-on by this kind of blow, it was conceivable that he would have looked like a water-filled leather bag squeezed by countless blades, and even if it was rubbed a little, it would be inevitable that a deep wound would be ripped out and a large piece of flesh and blood would have been torn off.
Syllable!
In the face of the violent attack of the chicken snake beast, Gehr, who was already alert, pounced directly to the side, dodged the range of the chicken snake beast, and took out a reagent bottle that had been prepared in the most convenient position to take out and smashed it on the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
However, this soft sound was completely covered by a bang in the blink of an eye - the huge body of the chicken snake beast fell heavily to the ground, and the sharp claws rubbed violently against the stone slabs on the ground, making a "grad" sound, and the gravel suddenly shot out in all directions, hitting Gehr with a low muffled sound.
Not!
With a muffled snort, Geer's body also trembled, but he didn't stop at all, and continued to follow a small arc with the intention of bypassing the chicken snake beast. He rushed towards the exit, and at the same time his right hand reached into his arms again. In just a moment, a flask was taken out again. Directly to the mouth to bite off the cork, without any hesitation, swallow the bitter and fishy liquid inside, swallow it.
Although his movements were smooth and concise, without the slightest superfluity, and had shortened this series of movements to the minimum time required, he still did not have time to completely avoid the development of the situation he had already predicted, and suddenly, an indescribable stench rushed into his nose, destroying the olfactory cells along the way. A strong feeling of vertigo was brought into his brain, like a hand stirring in his brain, making his mind blank for a moment, and his body stumbled suddenly, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, the potion he took in time also took effect extremely quickly, but the next moment, a cool breath rose from his abdomen and quickly rushed into his nose. The nose was immediately paralyzed by the effect of the drug, nothing could be felt, and the sense of smell was completely ineffective. And this cool breath did not stop there, but continued along the previous foul stench forward route. It quickly entered his brain, and immediately completely dispelled the previous dizziness, pulling his consciousness back again. And in an instant, he gained complete control of his body again.
At the same time, Gehr heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind him and the subsequent hissing sound. At the same time, the image of the chicken, snake, and beast falling to the ground and struggling frantically appeared in his mind, and it was obvious that the previous stench was not only acting on him. The monster behind it was also not spared, and this chicken snake beast could be said to have completely endured the power of this stench because it did not have the full preparation that Gehr had made.
I saw that the chicken, snake, and beast behind Gehr were lying on the ground, their wings flapping wildly, slapping on the ground, like a fish being picked up and thrown on the shore, and its body kept rising and falling from the ground, constantly making a snapping sound.
A mixture of Glomir's concentrated potion and Petos' compound, this is the potion that Gehr had smashed and ingested before. The former can produce an extremely strong stench and transform it into a special impact on consciousness, which can temporarily paralyze the body control of the attacker, and can be used to disperse or capture creatures with a keen sense of smell, which has a good effect, and if it is applied to ordinary people, it can even make them become idiots, while the latter can completely paralyze the user's sense of smell and dispel the negative effects caused by smell-like witchcraft in a short period of time. Neither of these potions was very common, and Gehr was only lucky enough to buy one each on the academy's trading floor, as an important preparation for this expedition, and it really worked very well now.
According to the information obtained by the wizards, the sense of smell of the chicken snake beast is extremely sensitive, thousands of times stronger than that of humans, so in the face of this targeted attack, it suffered far greater trauma than Gehr, and for a while it could only fall to the ground and struggle unconsciously, unable to continue to attack Gehr,
And Gehr didn't take the opportunity to attack the chicken snake beast at all, the time that the potion can take effect is inversely proportional to the physical strength of the acting creature, according to Gehr's estimation, it is more than ten seconds, this time is not enough for him to break the petrified aura on the chicken snake beast, hard work is completely impossible, so the best choice is to escape.
As he wished, he passed the obstruction of the chicken, snake and beast, and bypassed the stone statues in front of him all the way, and in just a few seconds, the fog in front of him had begun to fade, and soon he saw a black thing, and it continued to grow larger as he advanced, he knew that that was where the exit was.
Eventually, the fog cleared, and the exit was near, and with a split second, Gehr would be able to enter the passage that would allow him to escape from this threatening room.
But at this moment, Gehr felt a cold chill rushing from behind him.
Then there was a bang.
Looking at the nearby exit, Gehr didn't have time to think about it, he rolled sideways on the spot, and a gray phantom swept past him with gravel and dust, and slammed into the frame of the passage, and the huge crack spread rapidly along the location of the impact point, just in the blink of an eye, the broken stones fell one after another, blocking the passage mouth tightly, cutting off Gehr's way out of this room. (To be continued......)
