The four men and two horses had been galloping in the heavy rain for about ten minutes.
The two horses they were riding, first pulling the cart and then encountering the explosion, were so tired and frightened that they had reached their limit. Even with the help of magic, their breathing became heavier and their speed gradually slowed down.
"You can't speed up like that. On a night like this and on a muddy road like this, the horse may easily stumble." Roger said to Belia who still wanted to whip the horse.
"But it's too slow now! How far are we from the ambush point? If it's not too far, let's run over!" Belia said.
Roger shook his head. Of course, bursting out fighting spirit can make the speed surpass the galloping horse in a short period of time, but it cannot last long, and excessive consumption of fighting spirit will also affect the combat effectiveness. If you abandon the horse too early, you will fall into a very embarrassing situation.
He looked up and around. There were no obvious signs in the forest at night, and it was really difficult to tell where he was at this moment.
"Let's ride the horse first. Wait until there's movement behind!" Xiao Chen said.
"Already here." Belia looked back.
Xiao Chen listened attentively, and there was a drum-like sound added to the wind and rain. The sound was continuous and came from behind like a tide.
"Go!" Roger no longer spared his horsepower and whipped the horse without hesitation.
They ran for a while, and the sound of hooves was getting closer. Xiao Chen turned around and released a Heart of Fear. Originally, in such a dark environment, fear-type magic would have a better effect, but the rider in the front stretched out his hand, and a layer of silver light flashed on it, as if he had released magic such as a mental shield.
"There's a magician!" Tasya shouted.
"They know that I am good at spiritual magic, so they should be well prepared. Humph, but I am not empty-handed either."
Xiao Chen took out a scroll of earth spike technique from his space bag, ready to give the war horses behind him a severe blow.
"Are you using a scroll?" Tasya asked in surprise.
"What?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"How can an ordinary scroll be used on a rainy day? Once the magic runes drawn on it are dissolved by water, the scroll will be ruined." said Tasya.
"There is such a thing?" Xiao Chen had never thought about such a question before. He was shocked and spread out the scroll of Earth Spike Technique in his hand. It was indeed in a state of disarray, not much better than a child's graffiti.
"Don't use it. If you release it forcefully, something bad will happen! This scroll of yours is useless now."
Xiao Chen put the scroll away depressedly and asked, "Tasia, how did you respond
"Ah? What do you want me to do?" Tasya was stunned.
"What type of magic are you good at?"
"Fireball, Fire Wall, Fire Spear, and Fire Storm."
Xiao Chen wiped the rain off his face with his hands and said, "Is there any spell suitable for use on rainy days?"
"Lightning spell?"
"Well... next time when I have time, I'll tell you the story about conductors." Xiao Chen scratched his head for a long time and asked, "You don't know the kind of negative magic, such as slowing down, weakening, confusing, mentally retarded... magic like that?"
Every time Xiao Chen said something, Tasia shook her head. Finally, she couldn't help but said, "I'm not stupid. Of course I know it's best to use such a spell! But I can't do it. I just like to hit people with small fireballs on rainy days, okay?"
After that, she began to release the fireball technique. A basin-sized fireball flew from her hand into the enemy formation, its power having been largely reduced by the wind and rain. An enemy warrior chopped it with a long sword full of fighting spirit, and the fireball disappeared into thin air.
Tashia cast several more spells, but they were all dispelled by the opponent. Xiao Chen then cast several ice spear spells, but this type of single-target magic was difficult to hit the opponent while running. Even if they were about to hit the opponent, the leading magicians and warriors of the opponent would always find a way to resolve their attacks.
What should I do? Xiao Chen looked back at the increasingly clear outlines of the people behind him and pondered.
"It's a pity that my fire wall spell can't be lit on such a wet ground, otherwise the two walls of fire would have been very painful for them." said Tasya.
"The ground?" Yes, the enemy can protect their bodies, but they can never protect the ground farther away. If the ground can be turned into a piece of solid ice, it will be enough to cause trouble for them.
Xiao Chen did not know the magic of freezing the ground like Luo Ling. Everyone has talents for different types of magic. Not only would they learn slower but the effects of magic they lacked would also be slightly worse. Xiao Chen's talent for ice magic was not outstanding. It took him more time to learn these spells compared to mental magic, so he only learned two spells, ice spear and ice shield, one for attack and one for defense.
But the essence of cooling and freezing should be the same, except that the cooling range of the ice spear is very small and concentrated.
Xiao Chen recalled the whole process of releasing the ice spear. This was a relatively simple magic, consisting of two parts: freezing and launching. If he used the distracted state to release multiple ice spear magics at the same time, would it cause the effect of freezing the ground
"Sir, they are getting closer and closer. Our horses have been pushed to their limit. I'm afraid we have to jump off our horses and escape now. There are magicians behind us. If we move slower, we may not be able to escape." Roger shouted in front.
"Wait a minute, let me cast another spell. If it succeeds, it should buy us more time!" Xiao Chen said, and then he split his mind into ten parts at the same time. Each part began to depict the magical structure of the Ice Lance in his mind. But he soon found that the structure of the Ice Lance was too complicated for his split mind. Although he could indeed complete these ten spells at the same time, it would take many times longer.
No, I don't need a spear shape, nor do I need it to be launched far, I just need it to freeze the ground. Xiao Chen finally focused all his energy on the frozen front half, gave up the general structure at the back, and finally completed this multiple casting.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hands, and ten streams of cold air rushed out from between his fingers, sweeping across the ground behind him. The muddy road mixed with mud and puddles instantly began to freeze into ice.
The horse was running in front and the ice road was extending behind. When Xiao Chen released his magical power, a thirty-meter-long ice and snow road appeared in front of the pursuers.
The galloping war horses had no time to stop and rushed onto the ice. They could not control their bodies and fell out in all directions. Several horses broke their legs.
Weber was thrown out by the horse before he could cast a spell. Fortunately, Raul jumped towards him in time and grabbed his body. Most of the assassins behind him were agile, and except for a few who were injured, everyone else landed safely. However, most of the horses fell badly, and even if their leg bones were not broken, they could not continue to charge after falling and bumping.
As the assassins unloaded their weapons and equipment from their horses and prepared to chase them on foot, the fleeing four once again left them behind.
