Chapter 70: Dangerous opportunity

Views:

Susanna bent down and dragged Riska up, but the action that was completed in the blink of an eye brought a crisis. The manticore had quickly approached Susanna.

Riska vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and just raised his head, he saw the manticore rushing towards him. Not only could he clearly see the bloody mouth that could swallow his entire head, but he could even see clearly the trembling inside. The blood-red pupils in his throat with so much hatred made Riska shudder, and he screamed wildly: "Faster! Faster..."

Susanna gritted her teeth and rushed towards an ancient tree. When she saw that she was about to hit the ancient tree, Susanna stretched out her palm and slapped the tree trunk heavily on the side. As the sawdust flew, Susanna used the strength to rush to the side. , and rushed over close to the tree trunk.

With a thump, the stinger behind the manticore's tail had already been pierced, and it was piercing into the trunk of the tree. The sting was so powerful that it actually penetrated the thick trunk when the two of them hugged each other. The top of the stinger penetrated the other end of the trunk. If Susanna hadn't temporarily changed direction, this stab would have definitely caused severe damage to Susanna, and might even pierce Susanna's body. Moreover, the manticore's needle has the ability to freeze, no matter where it is stabbed, Susanna has no ability to resist.

The manticore missed the target, and its tail was embedded in the trunk of the tree. The manticore flew vertically and had nowhere to use its strength. Its pair of fleshy wings that could only fly short distances could not provide enough power. Its huge body hit the trunk of the tree. On the tree trunk, the tree trunk was hit with a loud bang. The branches and leaves above fell like raindrops, and a long crack the size of a palm appeared at the bottom of the trunk. It was unclear how deep the crack was. It had penetrated deep into the trunk. .

No matter how thick the tree trunk is, it is still a wooden creature, and cannot be compared with the copper-headed and iron-tailed manticore. Fortunately, the tree trunk itself has toughness, otherwise it would be smashed to pieces by the manticore.

The manticore rolled over, splashing mud, and the tail needle that pierced the tree trunk was pulled out without any hindrance, leaving a hole as thick as an ordinary person's calf in the trunk. Then the manticore moved away from it. Susanna let out a roar, jumped into the air, and chased after Susanna with her flesh wings flapping. With the pain of losing its son, this manticore has gone crazy. Even if Susanna escapes to the horizon, it will catch up with Susanna!

"Hurry up and meditate!" Susanna shouted urgently.

"Sister...sister, are you crazy? Let me meditate now!" Seeing the manticore gliding in mid-air, Riska was already speaking without hesitation.

"Meditation!" Susanna screamed.

Riska took a long breath, let's fight! Now their speed was slower than that of the Manticore, because he could clearly see with his naked eyes that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. If this continued, the two of them would die in the hands of the Manticore sooner or later.

But...can you really enter meditation in this posture? Riska thought it was too ridiculous. He was now leaning on Susanna's shoulder, and the two of them didn't even have time to change their positions. On the way to escape, Riska learned to meditate while lying down and half-reclined, but now she has to learn to meditate while lying on her stomach? But at this critical moment, Riska had no time to think about it. He slowly closed his eyes and entered meditation with the most pious attitude in his life.

The manticore is getting closer, but Susanna's reaction speed is close to the human limit. Every time the manticore's tail needle stabs out, Susanna will instantly increase her speed or temporarily change her direction to let the manticore The attack failed. But this is not without cost. Suzanne's forehead, shoulders, chest, back and even legs are all covered with tiny beads of blood and sweat, and even the corners of her eyes are stained with blood and tears. This is a result of forced use that exceeds the body's endurance. The consequences of the fighting spirit of ability!

It's not that Susanna doesn't understand the consequences of doing this. When the limit of her body's endurance is seriously exceeded, it can range from being disabled to the body that will explode from the inside out. But she has no other choice. It is better than being torn apart by a manticore immediately. Good in pieces!

Not only Susanna showed her potential, but also Riska. He entered meditation with an extremely pious attitude and almost instantly forgot about the danger, the mission, time, himself, and everything. ! Magicians can use two meditation methods to replenish their magic power, one is meditation, and the other is deep meditation. The speed of deep meditation to restore magic power is much stronger than the effect of meditation, but deep meditation is a magician or a great master. Only magicians can master it. To be precise, when a magician becomes a magister, he will gradually learn to meditate deeply. However, Riska completely subverts common sense. He is still a high-level magician.

Among the magicians in the Pan-Continent, almost no one has the opportunity to enter meditation at a critical moment of life and death. In times of crisis, of course one has to fight, or else one must find a way to escape. Isn't entering meditation looking for death

It can only be said that Riska was lucky enough to seize the opportunity. Under normal circumstances, this journey might take a long, long time.

Just when Susanna staggered, Riska slowly opened her eyes and shouted in surprise: "Suzanne, I can release magic, I can do it!"

"Mirror image!" Susanna replied in a hoarse voice.

"Mirror image? After releasing the mirror image technique, you need to control it yourself..."

"Mirror image..."

Riska wanted to say something else, but suddenly found that Susanna's back had turned blood red. She was immediately frightened, gathered her magic power, and crushed the mirror magic scroll: "Mirror Image!"

At the same time, Susanna gave Riska a hard swing and threw Riska into the air. The white light on Susanna's body also dimmed, and two Susannas appeared at the same time.

When a magister or great magician releases the mirror image spell, they can choose their own body and mirror image to appear at any point in a certain area. The size of the area is related to the strength of the mental power, but Susanna doesn't understand this and lets it go. A good opportunity to change the predicament.

The two Susannas ran away in two directions, one was very fast, the other was slower in comparison. Riska's expression changed again in mid-air, and she danced to grab the branches while releasing the levitation technique. This was Instinctively, who would have thought that the floating technique would be released very quickly, Riska couldn't help but be stunned. Under normal circumstances, the magic power condensed instantly is not enough for him to release the floating technique. The successful release means that his mental power has been significantly improved!

The manticore only hesitated for a moment, opened its mouth and sprayed out a poisonous mist towards Riska, then flapped its flesh wings and chased the slower Susanna. It also understood that one of them was real and there was something wrong. One is a mirror image. Chasing the slower one will allow it to distinguish the authenticity in the shortest time.

After all, the wisdom of beasts is childish. If An Fei were here, he would definitely chase the fast Susanna.

Riska hurriedly controlled the air element, letting himself rise high into the sky, avoiding the poisonous fog. He turned his head and stared blankly in the direction of Susanna's escape. At this moment, he realized how violent his heartbeat was, as if it was about to beat from his chest. Come out the same.

The slower Susanna ran straight forward, and just when the manticore pounced, she hit a rock as if she was frightened and had no choice but to go, and her figure disappeared like a bubble.

If Susanna's body is less than thirty meters away from here, she can control the mirror image to change its direction. However, Susanna is already nearly a hundred meters away and cannot control the mirror image at all.

The manticore realized that it had been fooled, and once again let out a roar that shook the forest. It fell to the ground and rolled, then changed direction and chased after him.

At this moment, Susanna was on the verge of collapse. If she had escaped by herself, she would not be in such a mess. Running at full speed, carrying ten more pounds on her body would have a big impact, not to mention Riska's weight. More than ten pounds! Susanna did not dare to turn back and fight the manticore. Riska, who had exhausted her magic power, would definitely suffer. A poisonous mist could take away Riska's life. Her only option was to forcefully use more power than her body could bear. Break out of the manticore's attack range at the critical moment.

Fortunately, she had reached the edge of the unicorn territory. Susanna used all her strength to jump five or six meters high and landed on a round rock. Where Susanna landed, a white magic ball the size of a thumb appeared. Crystal is emitting a faint light.

Seeing that its enemy had stopped, the manticore was furious. Without thinking or wanting to think about it, it flapped its flesh wings and rushed towards Susanna.

Susanna tapped her toes on the rock, and her body just flew into the air. When she landed on the ground, firstly because she had closed her eyes, and secondly because her physical strength was really difficult to support, her legs softened and she knelt down on the ground.

The magic array arranged by Shante was activated, and the manticore only saw its eyes light up, and a white light many times brighter than the sun bloomed in front of its eyes. No creature can avoid the attack of light. The manticore felt severe pain in its eyes, and suddenly could not see anything. It fell to the ground with a miserable hiss, its bloody mouth shaking left and right, desperately Releasing poisonous mist to protect itself, its sharp tail needles are also attacking the surroundings indiscriminately.

Susanna had no time to look back, so she got up and continued running forward, but when the manticore finally opened its eyes, Susanna had already turned the first mountain col and disappeared.

Where would the manticore be willing to let go! While making a roar, it chased forward.
