Chapter 350: Lord of the Azure Throne 3
Just as the footsteps of the earth giant spirit were getting closer and closer, and Gehr was about to fight to the death impatiently, the footsteps suddenly turned in a direction, and quickly moved away with a different fast-paced tremor sound from before.
After listening intently for a while, Gehr, who was sure that he had heard correctly, poked his head out from behind the tree, and saw the back of the earth djinn running quickly to the side, and it seemed that something had caught its attention, and it was estimated that it would not turn around for the time being.
Feeling a slight sense of stability in his heart, Gehr took a gentle breath to adjust the rhythm of his breathing, and looked around to see if he could find a place in his surroundings that he could use.
This woodland is probably affected by the power of the earth djinn before, so many trees have fallen to the ground, revealing long roots from the soil, and only the thickest and sturdiest trees can survive, but even so, their branches and leaves have broken a lot, not only forming a lot of obstacles on the ground between the woods, which are not conducive to the passage of guò, but also the woodland is also a little sparse, and it is not easy to avoid the wide line of sight of the earth djinn while passing through the woodland.
Now this area is unusually quiet, the original endless chirping of birds and insects has disappeared, only the movement caused by the movement of the earth djinn is left, and the atmosphere is extremely oppressive and heavy.
"Boy, look over there. ”
Barbarossa's voice sounded, although it was only in his heart, but it was probably affected by his surroundings, and his voice was unconsciously lowered a lot.
As Barbarossa spoke, Gehr also noticed what he was saying - after all, Barbarossa was observing the outside world through his senses, and what he saw was more visible than Gehr's.
Barbarossa was referring to a shimmering stretch of light across the jungle from Gehr - based on their experience. It was immediately determined that it was the light reflected by a small stream. At one end of this creek stands a huge rock that occupies a large space. Looking beyond the rocks, you can see what appears to be the outermost part of a valley, and from a distance, what appears to be a shadow of dark green markings of cyan moss and thick vines. If it weren't for the damage caused by the Earth Djinn before, it would have also affected the various plants that were attached to the rock wall, and I am afraid that if I get close, I will not be able to see the stone wall that was originally covered by plants.
"Use that stone to avoid the sight of the earth djinn and enter the valley behind, so that you should be able to get around this area out of the sight of the earth djinn......"
Gehr and Barbarossa agreed almost instantly, carefully observing the earth djinn that had stopped again, and after making sure that it had not turned to look, Gehr cautiously left his hiding place, and began to move towards the rock with the help of the cover of many tall trees.
The earth djinn stood in the forest not far away. The body that was a large block above the canopy of the tree slowly and irregularly turned, and its gaze swept over the area where Gehr was located more than once, but with Gehr's alertness and good luck, it was able to hide behind the body of the tree or the intertwined protruding roots each time before it was discovered, successfully avoiding the gaze of the earth djinn.
The width of the woodland that Gehr had to cross was hundreds of meters, a distance that had previously seemed like a matter of time to him, but now it seemed like more than a century of walking and stopping, most of it avoiding the splinters and foliage that were everywhere in his path.
As he crossed the woodland to the edge of the woodland closest to the stream, he felt a little tired. The clothes on his back were almost soaked with sweat.
Hidden in the shadow of a large tree, Gehr let out a long breath and began to carefully observe the area around the creek to figure out what to do next.
About a few meters to his right was a low shrub, and beyond that was a tidal flat nestled on the edge of the stream. Beyond that is a stream several meters wide, the clear water gurgling along a channel of smooth pebbles, and not far upstream is the rock chosen by Gehr. It's just that these places are very open. It wasn't enough to provide him with good shelter, which meant that he had to travel a hundred meters in an unsheltered environment to reach the next hiding point, behind the huge rock. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous operation.
But after weighing it for a moment, he decided to go ahead with his original idea. Barbarossa had no objection to his choice - indecision on the battlefield was never a good habit, and Gel or Barbarossa was undoubtedly the best warrior in life, confident and executing the choices he made - a basic thing a good warrior should have, and if he couldn't believe he could do it, he probably couldn't do it in reality.
Gehr rested as he observed the movements of the earth djinn. At this time, the earth djinn no longer stayed where it was, but began to move slowly along a small arc, with its head down and dangling, as if looking for something.
And Gell knew very well that what the giant monster was looking for was in him.
The most important thing now is the judgment of timing. If before reaching the rocks in the upper reaches of the stream, the sight of the earth djinn swept over, at this time Gehr was completely nowhere to hide, judging from the action power of this monster before, Gehr estimated that it would only take ten seconds at most from being found to being caught up by the earth djinn, and this time was obviously not enough for him to escape, so he had to choose the most suitable opportunity to act.
Gelmer waited silently, time passed little by little, and the earth djinn had already walked back and forth three times, but he still did not wait for the most suitable opportunity.
"I can't wait any longer, I can't do it, I can only take risks......"
Seeing that the Earth Djinn's patrol path began to expand and gradually bring his area into its patrol range, Gehr knew that there was not much time for him to wait, and if he wanted to act, he had to act early, otherwise he would probably not have a chance.
At this moment, the earth djinn that was about to turn around according to the previous pattern seemed to notice something, and saw it raise its head and let out a roar, and then slowly turned around and walked towards the other end.
A wall of air swept across the area once again.
Which hapless creature was discovered?
Gehr didn't know, but he knew that luck was on his side again this time. Not daring to slack off, the next moment the shockwave crossed his position, he immediately seized the opportunity to jump up and rush forward.
He sped over the half-man-high bush at the edge of the forest, which spread all the way to the bare pebble beach at the edge of the ravine.
The stream was dozens of meters away, although it was only a distance of more than 100 meters, with his body, he should only be able to warm up, but the field-like coercive aura exerted by the monster in the distance made his body consume extremely fast, and he felt a little out of breath at this time.
Gehr glanced back as he ran to the stream, but the earth djinn hadn't noticed it yet, and had no intention of turning back here. At this time, it walked slowly through the forest, its movements seemed clumsy and sluggish, but Gehr knew that it was only an illusion - its speed had been proven by the previous table, just as when a person can step hundreds of meters in one step, then the word sluggishness is only a relative word with a certain scope of application - Gehr is obviously not included in this scope of application.
Based on its large body rising above the canopy, it was quickly calculated that it should be four or five kilometers away from its side in a straight line.
It sounds like a long way off, but it doesn't give Gehr much of an advantage, and time is his lifeline now.
As he confirmed the condition of the earth djinn, Gehr's speed did not slow down in the slightest, and in a few ups and downs he stepped over the open beach, rushed to the edge of the large boulder, and quickly turned around its edge to the back.
But just as he was about to achieve the desired goal, Gehr suddenly felt a vicious wind in front of him, a cold light flashed in the shadows, and he subconsciously squinted his eyes under the pressure of the fierce wind - he immediately realized that this place already had an earlier "guest" - and this "guest" obviously did not welcome him as an uninvited guest, and launched the most ferocious attack at the first time.
The sound of a metal clash of bells sounded, and the flush on Geer's face flashed, and the back of the long dagger placed horizontally on his chest in time pressed against his right arm, which in turn pressed against his chest, and the tremendous force from above made him take a step back.
And before Gehr could stabilize his body, another cold light flashed from the shadows—and a second attack followed.
This time Gehr finally saw what was attacking him—it was a long, shiny black arthropod whose sharpness shone as white as a sword's edge.
Drink!
Gehr took a step backwards, and his body rushed forward with the force of reaction, facing the oncoming arthropod, and the dagger in his hand rounded the joints on the side of the anterior arthropod.
The attacker's reaction was so fast that Gehr's dagger slashed horizontally, and seeing that it could grab the arthropod at the moment before it attacked Gehr's body, it immediately turned the arthropod sideways and slashed at Gehr's dagger.
It moved so fast that Gehr didn't have time to change again before the dagger collided with the arthropod.
The arthropod seemed to be made entirely of metal, and the blade of the dagger let out a tooth-aching tremble as it slashed through the arthropod, sending sparks flying out in all directions.
Gehr's counterattack came to an abrupt halt, almost bouncing backwards, and for a moment he felt his hand holding the dagger tingle slightly, obviously not an opponent of this attacker in terms of strength.
No, Gehr flew backwards with the power in his hand, leaving the attacker's attack range first, and the next moment he quickly retreated, two cold lights crossed from where he had been, and if he remained in place, then it was very likely that he would be stopped and slashed by this blow.
