Chapter 22: Encounter with the Beast
There was a hill ahead, and I started to enter the woods again. As soon as he entered the woods, he heard shouts in front of him, and then saw a smoke screen on the hill rushing up into the sky. Not long after, Wells was seen riding a wyvern down from the sky, and the wyvern picked up a man with his claws and flew away, apparently injured.
Hans immediately became vigilant, drew his long sword, and walked up the hill step by step. When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw the pole vaulter hiding behind a tree, looking very panicked, and he didn't prompt anything when he saw Hans coming, but Hans also knew that there was a problem, so he continued to walk up slowly, only to see a leopard lying on the slightly flat ground on the top of the mountain, let's just call it that, Hans didn't know what it was, anyway, it was a feline. It's just that this leopard is lying on the ground half a man high, and it looks down the mountain, but it doesn't come down, and it may not be convenient for it to fight in the woods.
The two men did not dare to go out, and the leopard did not dare to go into the woods, so there was a stalemate for a while, and it was obvious that the two people going out together would not be the match of the beast. Hans gritted his teeth, took a risk, and suddenly ran west towards the edge of the woods, only to be chased by the leopards outside, and Hans was running, but the leopards were walking slowly. Hans looked back as he ran, and when he had reached about 100 meters, the warrior came out of the woods and rushed up to the top of the hill.
At this time, Hans suddenly threw a fireball magic at the leopard, and the leopard was unprotected, but quickly dodged away, but when the leopard tracked Hans again, he found that he was missing. Then the leopard turned its head and looked around, only to find the warrior running to the top of the mountain, and the leopard immediately ran after it.
Just as the leopard turned away and began to rush towards the warrior, Hans immediately came out from behind the tree and used his sprinting skills to rush to the top of the mountain, Hans only ran about 10 meters to the top of the mountain, only to find that the leopard over there had already run towards him again, the speed was really too fast. Hans looked ahead and saw a large slope on the other side, the whole slope was covered with grass, and at the bottom of the hill was a lake.
Hans rushed down the hill without thinking, and simply sat on the shield and slid all the way down, but he could already hear the sound of the leopard running behind him. Hans guessed that the leopard was huge, and released two fire shields on either side of it as a barricade in an attempt to stop the leopard. But the leopard jumped over Hans's head and landed at the water's edge, waiting for Hans to slide down.
Hans was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he couldn't give up, he used all his mana to release a ring-shaped fire magic shield, and the whole person rushed towards the leopard like a huge fireball, and he had no mana left to resist the burning of the flames. The leopard was really afraid of the fire magic, so he flashed to the side and dodged again. And Hans, who was on fire, rushed straight into the lake with a plop.
He endured the burning pain in his body and kept swimming out of the water, swimming for a long distance before he came out of the water and looked back. But to his surprise, the leopard had returned to the top of the mountain. Hans began to calm down a bit, looked around and noticed that there were people jumping around on the water in front of him!
When I looked at it, it turned out that there were many wooden stakes on the surface of the lake. He swam over and climbed up a stake, stood up and looked, and saw that the lake was really big, and it would take a long time to swim through. It seems that the stakes were designed for them to jump over. The distance of the stake is not too far, and it is not difficult to jump, but it is necessary to jump continuously for a long time without making mistakes, otherwise it will be a waste of time to fall into the water.
Hans checked his belongings first, and found that he didn't even know where to lose his wand except for the shield he had just lost. Only the long sword hanging from the waist remains, and if you want to jump, it is better to hold the long sword in your hand. So he picked up his sword and began to jump on the stake, as he continued on his way. He wasn't in a hurry, he had used up all his mana just now, and he could recover a little by jumping over slowly, otherwise he wouldn't know how to get through the difficulties behind.
The sun was already in place, the light reflected off the water was uncomfortable, and the whole environment was hot. Although Hans's battle suit can play a little soothing, after the previous rush, he has begun to get hungry, but there is nothing to eat. He kept jumping just at the stake in front of him, feeling that he had been jumping for a long time, and finally jumped to the shore without falling into the water once.
He took a few deep breaths on the shore, and when he looked ahead, there was a small hill in front of him, and there was a forest on the west side, and he vaguely saw a man entering. The east side is farther away and looks like a large sandy area. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go up the mountain, because he could see the surroundings from the mountain and could grasp the road ahead.
At the beginning of the mountain, Hans was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he cut directly at the tree with his sword, cut off some roots, and picked some slightly moist ones to bite, and thought while biting, he didn't remember to drink a few sips of water in the lake just now, he was really stupid.
As he walked, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him, "Help, help!" Hans looked in the direction of the shout, about southeast of him, that is, near the direction of the sand. Hans was struggling in his heart, he thought of Sheila who was walking in front, and he wanted to continue to chase after him, and he thought about the person behind him, if he lost the Philosopher's Stone and couldn't send a signal for help, if he didn't go, he would probably die.
After struggling inwardly for a moment, he sighed and began to walk back, running all the way towards the place where the shouting was made. After running for a while, he saw a man hanging upside down from a tree, and a spider about the size of a man was tying him up into seeds. Hans took one look at it and said, "Hey, it's a spider again, this spider is a little too small." ”
Hans inspected the mana he had recovered, and he could probably release two fireball spells, and then he rushed over directly, stopped when he was close to the spider, and began to condense the fireball with one hand, and he was not afraid of being found to directly chant the spell: "God of Flames, please give me Liliang, show your anger, use your world-destroying magic to destroy the enemy in front of you, the Flame Explosion Technique!" What he wanted to release was the Fire Explosion Technique he learned from Amanda!
When Hans began to gather the fireball, he also spotted him, and was about to rush towards him, when he saw that Hans's fireball was quite threatening, he immediately hid behind a large tree. Hans threw the fireball directly, but it was not aimed at the tree where the spider was, but flew past from behind it, and when the fireball crossed the tree, Hans shouted: "Boom!" I saw the fireball explode directly in the air, and the spider hiding behind the tree was not spared, the meat body was on fire and rolled on the ground, Hans rushed over and cut it down with a sword, and immediately cut it into two pieces.
Hans was about to cast another small fireball to burn the spider silk that was hanging the contestant, but found the hanged man shouting, "Ahhh ”
In desperation, Hans could only climb the tree, first tie him up with a rope, then cut off the spider silk, and slowly put it on the ground before untying it. It was a male contestant with a spear, and sure enough, the tail of the spear was facing his abdomen. And this man was the same man Hans had met when he had jumped over the river.
The man took a deep breath and said, "Thank you so much, my name is William, what do you call my brother?"
Hans replied, "My name is Hans, how are you, where are your Philosopher's Stones?"
I saw William say, "I thought I didn't need it, but I didn't bring it with me at first, and I only came with a gun." As a result, I accidentally ran too fast and hit a spider's web. As he spoke, he looked at the sun above his head, and said, "Oh no, the time is almost up, I want to leave quickly, xiexie you saved me, Brother Hans, I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future." Then he ran north like a puff of smoke.
Hans looked at his departing back, sighed, and said to himself: "The warrior is just good physical strength, I'm dying of hunger, don't you want me to eat spider meat?" After saying that, he shook his head and had to continue walking.
