Age of Adepts

Chapter 24: narrow escape

Views:

As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty space!

It is rare for me to escape here with my life, and I am so sorry for Simba's "hospitality" by turning around and leaving!

Greem condensed his elemental vision and scanned the crypt like a treasure hunter.

Among the piles of sundries piled up like hills, there were very few that Greem could take a fancy to. These hags living in the mud swamp have no chance to find any good things, so although they collect a lot of "treasures", there are not many of real value.

Seven or eight high-grade blood sacs like red beads, a broken fragment of a witch weapon that can no longer be seen in its original appearance, a fist-sized metal ore with a strange blue glow, and an inexplicable white stone the size of a pebble ... Without saying a word, Greem desperately stuffed them all into his waist pocket.

These were specially picked out by Greem, with traces of slight elemental fluctuations. As for the other random bits and pieces, Greem discarded them all. After all, he was still in the escape stage, and the probability of escaping with too many things was much smaller.

As the hag's lair in the wild, there is not only one tunnel leading to this cave. Obviously, the hag leader Simba is also proficient in the principle of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. But today, he was destined to take advantage of Greem, an amateur thief. He briefly judged his position and burrowed into a wet tunnel away from the quagmire.

After a while, a strange human head emerged from another quagmire more than a hundred meters away from the central quagmire. The sticky and dirty mud kept sliding down from the top of his head. Greem only exposed his eyes and nostrils, silently watching the movement in the distance.

Originally, there should be a group of hags living in this quagmire, but obviously they were also attracted by the battle in the distance, and joined the battle group amid Simba's roar, so it made Greem feel like he was in and out of no one's land. Sneaked out smoothly all the way.

The battles in the distance all took place under the muddy and sticky mire, and the sewage on the surface of the pool could only be seen bubbling and bubbling, but the specific battle situation could not be detected. Greem didn't want to see that scary little loli again, so he turned around and swam towards the edge of the quagmire involuntarily.

Alice's weird and unpredictable space attack should be left to the hags to bear!

But when he secretly swam to the edge of Tan and was about to climb ashore, the mud burst not far behind him, and a gigantic swamp crocodile suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit him fiercely. The incident happened suddenly, and such a harsh natural environment became the best cover for the giant swamp crocodile. It wasn't until the moment before the opponent's attack that Greem received the frantic warning from the biochip.

With a series of quick rolls and twists, Greem escaped the fatal bite of the giant swamp crocodile just now by a tiny margin. The other party's mouth full of sharp fangs and fangs bit together heavily on his waist, the ferocious wind and rotting stench instantly made Greem's hair stand on end.

If he hadn't been reminded by the chip to hide quickly, this ferocious swamp giant would definitely bite his body off in one bite. At that time, all ambitions will be put to waste!

Taking advantage of the opponent's blow, Greem climbed onto the mud bank with solid ground using both hands and feet. Turning around, a fast and ruthless flame arrow hit the opponent's second open mouth.

The "flame arrow" that was solidifying before had already been completed, which allowed him to successfully complete the attack.

The bursting elemental flame instantly engulfed the swamp giant crocodile's head, and the violent explosion fire mixed with broken teeth and flesh and blood fragments made a "heavy rain" on the shore. The swamp giant crocodile twisted its body crazily under the severe pain, and its huge body splashed mud waves several meters high, messing up the shore.

One of the main reasons why Greem chose Flame Arrow instead of Fireball as his first long-range witchcraft was that in addition to elemental attack ability, Flame Arrow also had some physical attack effects. This is especially obvious when attacking some high-resistance wild monsters.

Of course, Greem would never admit that the extremely high difficulty of the fireball technique with as many as 54 rune circuits was the main reason why he chose to give up.

However, Greem's hateful attack inevitably exposed his position.

"Good boy, so you hid here! Don't try to run away..."

A shrill and clear female voice suddenly came from a distance, and the terrifying Alice broke free from the quagmire in the center despite the space barrier, and roared loudly at Greem from a distance.

It's a pity that in the next second, a long whip woven from special swamp rattan wrapped around the transparent protective cover outside Alice's body. As soon as the little Lolita's body was half exposed, she was imprisoned in place by the other party.

Numerous hags kept rushing towards the space barrier like fearless wild beasts. Their sharp claws and fierce bites can't help the transparent defense at all, so more hags just hang on the protective cover, trying to use their bodies to repress this hateful human who has slaughtered many of their kind Back into the quagmire.

For a moment, like dumplings, countless hags were cruising around the transparent protective cover, constantly stepping on the bodies of their companions to jump out of the water, and then crazily rushing into the struggling Alice. This made Alice, who was eager to get rid of them, extremely angry.

Driven by her madness, one after another space cracks visible to the naked eye are like peerless magic soldiers, wandering around the protective shield constantly. Any hag that collided with the gap in the space, whether it was a fleeting limb or a thick and tough body, would be split into two without a sound, and purple-black sticky dirty blood would be splashed everywhere.

But even so, the hags are still attacking one after another, without any fear.

The monitor lizard driven by Simba crawled closer to sneak attack, and lashed at the impenetrable barrier outside Alice's body with its tail, directly submerging most of her body into the muddy water. The violent concussion spread to Alice, making her slightly fragile body even more bleeding from the mouth and nose.

So across a wide swamp, Alice and the swarming hags frantically strangled together, and Greem was also in danger under the constant pounce of the swamp giant crocodile.

Although the flame arrow fired in an emergency just now severely injured the giant crocodile's mouth, making the flesh and blood inside it blurry, but this little damage was not enough to kill a ferocious monster with tenacious vitality. Therefore, the furious giant crocodile firmly locked its hatred on Greem, and its huge scaled body escaped from the quagmire, attacking him again and again.

And the slow rays that shot out one after another made Greem even more exhausted. Most of these damned swamp monsters have some earth-type abilities, and they also have rough skin, thick flesh, and sharp teeth and claws. Fighting with them in this muddy swamp can almost kill people alive.

Moreover, in the powerful perception of the chip, Greem could also find lines of water floating on the surface of several nearby quagmires, indicating that certain underwater creatures were rushing towards the battlefield covertly and clearly.

Damn it, fell into the monster den!

While thinking nonstop, Greem narrowly avoided the serial pounces of this terrifying swamp giant crocodile under the repeated reminders of the chip.

He was standing not so much on the shore as on the narrow, muddy ridge between one puddle and another. The soil is loose, and when you step on it, you can reach your ankles. In such an environment, it would be very difficult to escape the pursuit of the giant swamp crocodile, unless he could fly like Alice.

At this time, it was too late to regret why he hadn't learned the wind element's levitation technique. Greem ran hard with one foot deep and one shallow foot, seeing the waterlines that had already rushed forward, feeling desolate in his heart. The witchcraft amulet in his hand has been urged countless times by him, but it is useless.

Swamp monsters' fear of wizards is still very deterrent under normal circumstances. But today's monsters have been aroused by the blood, and it will be extremely difficult to deter them.

Woo...

The wind was blowing.

The filthy pool water splashed wantonly, and two gigantic swamp giant crocodiles broke through the water at the same time, opened their terrifying mouths enough to swallow Greem's whole body in one bite, and bit him viciously from the front and rear directions.

Looking at the stench that was so close at hand, looking at the messy fangs gleaming with cold light, looking at the bottomless esophagus... The alarms from the chip in Greem's mind were already ringing, but it was very difficult. Find an opportunity to escape from the immediate crisis.

Just when Greem suddenly closed his eyes and could only silently wait for death, his body shook suddenly, and he flew up like flying through the clouds.

Kaka Kaka...

The ear-piercing impact of the fangs was thrilling, but Greem escaped from their bloody maws with a slight difference, and flew close to the water surface at an extremely fast speed amidst their deep roars.

Uh... what's the matter

Greem opened his eyes in shock, and what he saw was the muddy pool of water passing by quickly under his feet, while the sound of flapping wings echoed constantly above his head.

Looking up, Greem was surprised to find that a huge humanoid bat was struggling to fly with him.

Yes, it's exhausting!

This humanoid bat has a pair of fiery red bat wings spread four or five meters away, but its body is slightly thin and thin. If it flies normally by itself, of course it won't be a problem, but with a living person like Greem, its strength is slightly insufficient.

New swamp monster? of course not. Greem could sense a faint witchcraft aura and a familiar smell from it. With the help of the chip, through its familiar yet unfamiliar face, a woman's face emerged in Greem's mind.
