Chapter 54: Lizardmen
Chapter 54: Lizardmen
"Frozen!" Just as several swordsmen were solemn, Gaia's clear voice of chanting magic suddenly sounded behind them, in fact, they had already felt that the temperature around them was dropping, but compared to such an inconspicuous temperature difference, the three mud beasts in front of them that had already surfaced half of the mud pond were more worthy of their attention.
The cold and biting frost qi has been opened in a fan shape, these ice layers have very cleverly bypassed the five swordsmen, and began to spread from these muddy grounds, solid ice crystals quickly covered these soils, the original gray mud swamp ground was quickly brushed with a layer of white, and those withered trees and even vultures that didn't have time to fly away were all wrapped in ice crystals, turning into pieces of ice sculptures that could be smashed by any force.
"Coax ......" The body of the mud giant beast was only half floating, but the ice crystal qi did not stagnate without any stagnation, and quickly froze the black silt in the mud pond, and the three mud beasts were fixed in half of their positions before they could crawl out of the mud pond, and let out an angry roar.
However, Gaia's ice magic was something that these high-level C-class creatures could not get rid of, although the mud beast kept hammering the ice that solidified the surface of the mud pond with the big rock fist, but only hammering a few small cracks, it could not completely get rid of this freezing effect.
Looking at these three struggling and roaring mud beasts embedded in the mud pond ice, the five adventurers were all stunned, these mud beasts were equivalent to third-order great swordsmen, any one of them required more than two of them to be able to deal with it, but the magician behind him who had never known the strength actually trapped them there with such a simple ice magic, no matter how these creatures struggled, they couldn't shake the ice for half a minute!
"Let's go, don't waste any more time here. Gaia said lightly, if they let the five of them deal with these three mud beasts, they don't know how long they will fight, there are already people walking in front of them, so Gaia is not interested in watching these low-strength swordsmen and mud beasts fight slowly.
Several people haven't recovered from that kind of surprise, it stands to reason that this magician is so young, it is already very good to be able to reach the advanced level, even if Esen has high expectations for Gaia, I believe that he may have the level of a great magician, but now it seems that this young man's magic attainment is so terrifying, one magic traps three high-level C-level magical beasts, so it seems that this magician will not have much effort if he wants to solve the five of them.
"Well, I take the liberty of asking, what level of magician are you?" Essen finally asked.
"Magister. Gaia didn't hide it and directly said his strength, even if Gaia didn't say it, these people should be able to guess that one magic trapped three magical beasts, how could it be possible if it wasn't a magic master.
After seeing Gaia release a magic so simply, these people also guessed the possibility that he was a magister, but when he said it himself, he still couldn't help but gasp, the average age of these adventurers was almost thirty, and it was only at the level of the great swordsman, in the eyes of the world, it was already very remarkable to enter the level of the great swordsman before the age of thirty, but the young man in front of him entered the level of the magister at the age of twenty, and it can be said that he was completely a genius-level person, and it was more likely that it was someone from Elmore Academy, and only someone from Elmore Academy could cultivate such a sick character。
"If you're a magister, why do you want to join such an inconspicuous team as us?" said the female swordsman with a pout.
Gaia didn't know which of the woman's nerves had problems, and seemed to always like to target herself, so Gaia simply ignored him and walked in front of her, and at the same time used earth magic to solidify the mud pond under her feet, so that the swordsmen behind could walk.
The others looked at each other, and finally caught up with Gaia. Essen, who was walking behind, glared at his sister and said to her with some dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with you, do you talk to others like that?"
Fei Man rolled his eyes, didn't argue with his brother about anything, glanced at the demon master who was walking in front, and then said, "Even if it is a magic master, if there is a demon beast sneaking up on him when he walks in front, he will suffer." ”
"Essen, did you follow this path in the first place?" Gaia said to Essen, ignoring Fiman's cold words.
Essen looked around, took out the map in his arms, carefully checked it, and thought seriously for a while before replying, "It shouldn't be wrong, how did you know to go this way?"
"The men who walked ahead of us left footprints and traces of battle, and it seems that they were indeed looking for relics. Gaia said.
"Then we can follow in their footsteps, and if it is indeed the road that leads to the ruins, I should be impressed. Essen immediately took out the map and began to mark it, their adventuring team accepted the commission this time is to find the ruins, in order to get a good reward, Essen naturally has to trace all the routes he has taken, otherwise he will have to look for it again without any markers like last time, this swamp is so wide.
"They probably haven't gone very far, and I don't think we'd better follow too closely. Omar spoke, the former killer was quite vigilant.
Gaia actually thinks so, if those people are really from Elmore Academy, then the strength is definitely not weak, and it is definitely not a wise choice to approach them rashly, since they know the location of the ruins, it is better to follow them like this, maybe they can really find the ruins.
"Frozen!" "Frozen!" Along the way, those C-level demonic beasts encountered were all shot by Gaia, Gaia did not kill them, and used the most effective freezing technique to freeze them all, and then calmly walked past them, several adventurers had the idea of killing these demonic beasts to obtain the magic crystal nucleus, after all, one crystal nucleus of these C-level demonic beasts was also thousands of gold coins, and they were really a little itchy to see these thousands of gold coins standing there motionless.
Although they are itchy, they will not let these slow paces, after all, they are here mainly for the commission, and if they complete the commission, they will be paid quite well.
The swamp land behind the big quagmire is obviously infested with demonic beasts much more frequently, and those things seem to be guarding something, even if they are far away, they will come to block their way. Everywhere Gaia and the adventurers walked, there were obvious signs of fighting, and flocks of vultures pecked at the corpses of the monsters killed by the team in the mire, and these things flew into the air in horror as everyone walked by.
"I remember the last time I walked by, but I was so embarrassed that I was chased by these things everywhere I went......" said Midira, a strong man, grinning. The last time their adventure team was chased here by the B-class demonic beasts in the quagmire, and since then they have been intercepted by the demonic beasts, and they have to run all the time, and this time with the magister here, these demonic beasts do not need any fear at all.
The strength of the Magister is indeed strong, these people rarely have the opportunity to see the Magister cast magic, and the magic released by Gaia is also very simple, from beginning to end it is the Freezing Technique, but his freezing effect is quite terrifying, often after a group of magical beasts appear, his Freezing Technique quickly spreads around, directly turning this swampy place into a glacier.
"Lizardmen!!" the group followed the traces and footprints of the fight, and as the swamp grew less muddy, they finally saw the legendary lizardman guarding the ruins.
Gaia didn't know the level of these lizardmen, remembering that when he was in the Forbidden Land, those snake people guarded by the number of arms, and these lizardmen of different colors were obviously the difference between different ranks, but whether the red lizardmen were stronger or the green lizardmen, Gaia did not know.
Lizardmen are said to be generally B-level or higher monsters, in fact, it is a bit far-fetched to say that they are humanoid monsters, these lizardmen do not bear much resemblance to humans except for standing on their legs, their forelimbs are very short, they are clawed, and their bodies are covered with green or red pimple skin, and there is some viscous solution on them. The most distinctive feature of the lizardmen is probably their tail, standing like a human, they have a lizard tail that drags on the ground, with a blade-like cuticle on it, and the cold light is shining, which is obviously their sharpest weapon.
"These things are light-based, they will be invisible, be careful. Captain Ethan glanced at Gaia and said to him. The lizardmen are all B-level or above magical beasts, even if the young man in front of him is a magister, at most he can deal with one or two alone, and it is impossible to trap them all with one ice spell like before, so Ethan had to remind Gaia.
"Yes. Gaia nodded, there were a total of four lizardmen in their field of vision now, two red lizardmen were far away, and the other two green lizardmen were in their way, although they had not yet noticed these intruders, but if they wanted to pass through here, they had to deal with these two lizardmen.
"Lauren, you deal with one of them, and the other one will be left to us. Captain Essen said.
"No, you should keep an eye out for the other monsters around you. Gaia shook her head, then moved directly to the two green lizardmen.
The other five people were stunned, although this lizardman was a low-level B-level magical beast, how could a magister deal with two such extremely fast creatures at the same time without the protection of a warrior, they didn't think that Gaia had the strength of a third-order magister or above. (Magisters and Grand Magisters are divided into six ranks)
"This guy is really arrogant. Seeing Gaia go directly into the territory of the two green lizardmen, Fei Man muttered.
"It's not good for the captain to do this, so I'd better go up and help, in case something happens......" said Midira, the strong man. The young man in front of them was already a mage master, but if he could deal with two low-level B-level strength lizardmen alone, then it meant that he was at the level of the middle level of the mage, and no one would believe that a mid-level mage was about twenty years old, because this kind of person was definitely a genius level that only Elmore Academy would appear.
Captain Ethan also secretly wondered, he didn't think that this young man was like a conceited person, even if his magic control ability was very strong, he could contain the two lizardmen, but there was no need to refuse their help, the five of them had cooperated for a long time, and they couldn't be said to kill if they joined forces, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem to contain them.
"Let's go over and help, I'm here to train, it's not like just watching. Aristocrat Chuli spoke, and he drew his weapon gracefully.
The others nodded, and they all felt that the young man had some reckless nature, so they all drew their weapons and began to gather strength, but at this time, Gaia, who had reached the territory of the lizardmen, frowned, turned back to them and said coldly: "If you want to die, go ahead." ”
The five adventurers were all stunned, not knowing why this young man was so arrogant, and Fei Man, who had the worst temper, suddenly became angry, and shouted angrily at Gaia: "What do you mean by this, isn't the Magister amazing!"
As soon as Fei Man finished speaking, she felt Gaia's cold gaze, as if it was a cold ice shooting, which made her tremble, and she felt like she was being stared at by a ferocious demonic beast, and she actually felt a sense of fear.
"Lauren, we just want to help you, you're a little too reluctant to deal with two green lizardmen by yourself, besides, we're teammates......" Esen's temper was the opposite of his sister's, even if Gaia said that, he didn't mean to be angry, but opened his mouth to explain, but halfway through, he couldn't say any more.
Gaia's light magic had bloomed from the palm of his hand, and these dazzling lights flickered into the air, as if to coat the cloudy sky with a layer of silver light, and these silver lights enveloped the area where the two green lizardmen were located, and it was precisely because of these silver light shrouded areas that in addition to the two green lizardmen, there were three looming lizardmen silhouettes standing a hundred meters in front of them.
"Five...... Five lizardmen!!" the female swordsman Fei Man cried out in a lost voice. At this time, the five of them were standing behind a quagmire, and as long as they stepped over this quagmire, they would have entered the territory of the lizardmen, and if Gaia hadn't stopped them, they would have been attacked by the three lizardmen who had become invisible with the help of light magic!
It would be quite difficult for them to deal with one, not to mention the three lizardmen who tried to sneak up on them, and all five of them gasped, their hearts pounded, but fortunately they stopped in time, otherwise they might have become food for those vultures in the next moment.
