This time it was a mistake. If a first-level priest died here, it would be impossible for the Holy See not to investigate him. Www,qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo,comJust die, if you stick your head out, it's a knife, if you shrink your head, it's a knife. The pale red face was almost distorted into an abstract pattern. The soft whip in his hand shook straight and pierced the magician like a spear.
The light on the magician's body became stronger and stronger, and even his clothes seemed to be burning. A black snake head suddenly appeared from the tip of the pale red soft whip. It was extremely ferocious, and it opened its mouth and bit the magician's chest.
The black snake head passed through the divine light and had shrunk a bit. This bite did not hurt the magician. The magician just shook and continued to recite his prayers.
Lucas's iron eagle feather was bounced away by the divine light, Sarah's soft sword did not even scratch the magician's clothes, and the worst thing was Cook, the steel claw on his hand stabbed the magician's face head-on. On the stomach, even the wrist was broken.
"Xika, you and Pino go..." Salin was worried that Pino would be alone by his side, but if Xika didn't take action, it would be impossible. Once the magician completes the process of inviting gods, everyone here will die. As for whether there was anyone else ambushing around, Salin could no longer care.
Pino didn't say anything. He held the long sword and rushed towards the magician.
Sika followed Pino. Seeing that Pino's sword was about to hit the magician's throat, Sika suddenly accelerated, swung her huge club, and smashed it on the head.
boom!
The two hit the target almost at the same time, the sword slid aside, and Sika's stick bounced vertically upwards, rolling backwards with Sika. The light on the magician's body dimmed, and he fell forward softly, hitting his face on the ground with a frightening sound.
Lucas is very fast. As an archer, he also has the ability to fight in close combat. He can be said to be a relatively balanced force in this team. At this time, he picked up the triangular sword on the ground and plunged the sword into the back of the magician's head. The light on the magician's body was completely extinguished, and everyone stopped breathing heavily and tiredly.
The triangular sword penetrated the magician's head and plunged into the ground, forming a palm-wide wound. Even if the divine envoy came, he could not treat such an injury.
The magician was twisting on the ground, still refusing to die. Shika stopped rolling at this time and looked at the magician who was nailed to the ground with some surprise.
"Xika, good job!" Cook turned around and praised.
"It's not me!" Sika is still confused now. His stick definitely did not break through the magician's defense, but only caused the opponent to lag behind for a moment.
"Be careful!" Cang Hong shouted, and whipped out the soft whip with a whistling sound.
Lucas simply hit him hard with his short bow, but it still didn't prevent the accident from happening. A black shadow penetrated into Cook's abdomen. Cook jumped up violently, almost three meters high, and then fell heavily to the ground. A big hole appeared in his abdomen, but blood was flowing slowly.
"What is it!" Everyone was at a loss. Cook was twisting on the ground. His abdomen no longer hurt and began to be numb, but the feeling of life passing was so clear. The creatures in his abdomen were desperately releasing venom while sucking Cook. of body fluids. Soon, the wound on Cook's abdomen had expanded to more than a foot in diameter.
Salein held a third-level magic core in his hand and tried his best to speed up the recovery of the magic string. But the battle has only been a minute, and the magic string he has recovered now is not even enough to support a first-level magic. Saleen regretted a little. If he had known that this place was so dangerous, he should have bought a few magic scrolls as backup.
"Cook..." Sarah squatted down, trying to help, but a black creature suddenly jumped out of the wound on Cook's abdomen and pounced on Sarah. Sarah rolled on the spot, and the Pino sword next to her had already struck the black creature.
The black creature screamed and flew towards the stone wall. Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a black spider. The fist-sized body is covered with black bristles, and its six eyes move around.
A similar spider emerged from behind the dead magician. The two spiders slowly leaned together, showing no intention of escaping.
"It's a demon-hunting spider!" Salin reminded loudly. Cang Hong and others' eyes were about to burst, and Cook saw that he would not survive. The magician was also killed by the demon-hunting spider. Sika's attack only caused a pause in the magic. The demon-hunting spider found a gap and then got into the body of the magician.
Salin worked hard to control the three bubbles, letting the huge bubbles protect him, while desperately absorbing the magic core in his hands. As long as he has ten minutes, he can regain his fighting strength.
Cang Hong and others seemed to have forgotten the danger and pounced on the two demon-hunting spiders at the same time.
Salin sighed and whispered: "Xika, go help, I'm fine here."
He knew that the remaining four people should have no problem dealing with the two spiders, but the demon-hunting spiders were difficult to kill and were fast. If it took a long time, an accident would inevitably happen.
Demon-hunting spider: a fourth-level creature with no magic core. Characteristics: extremely poisonous, high speed, and has fangs that can chew through magic or divine shields. He is good at hiding and cannot build webs. He likes to wander in caves and hunt monsters. It penetrates into the body of the monster and releases venom, turning its internal organs into juice to absorb. Generally speaking, demon-hunting spiders act alone.
The eight claws of the Demon Hunter Spider are extremely sharp and can tear the skin of a monster instantly and burrow into its body. This thing is what magicians like to keep, but now that Cang Hong and others are so jealous, Salin naturally doesn't dare to say anything about keeping it alive.
What a pity for two magical pets!
At this time, the pale red soft whip had already tied up a demon-hunting spider. The demon-hunting spider moved its forelimbs and directly cut off the tip of the soft whip. It rolled back. Sika rushed over in two or two steps and struck out with a stick. It hit the body of the Demon Hunter Spider, and with a squeak, the Demon Hunter Spider screamed miserably. It was flattened, but it was not dead, and it spat out black venom desperately. Sika dodged away, and the demon-hunting spider, which had almost become a meat pie, waved its eight claws and stood up again.
Salin felt that his magic string had recovered a little and tried to prepare the magic. As his spell was completed, a white light lit up on the ground, trapping another demon-hunting spider.
Level 1 magic, instant frost.
The demon-hunting spider's magic resistance is very high. This first-level magic can only stop it for less than a second, but this is enough. The most troublesome thing about it was that it was so fast that almost all of the two attacks failed. Saleen's magic caused a layer of white frost to instantly condense on the surface of the Demon Hunter Spider's body. Lucas's iron eagle feather shot out in time, nailing the Demon Hunter Spider into the ground.
Saleen knew that he didn't have any magic that he could use. He could have cast two second-level magics twice, but in order to speed up the casting speed, he had to over-consume the magic strings in his body and successfully killed the spear swordsman. After the magic string is exhausted, he can only rely on the magic core to quickly recover. But there is no need to think about casting second-level magic. He can only cast first-level magic, and it is a pitiful amount of water magic.
Without the cooperation of the swordsman, he would never be able to kill this demon-hunting spider. And if these swordsmen didn't have Saleen's magic, they wouldn't be able to kill the fast fourth-level creatures.
Saleen began to understand why magicians were so valued. Even a first-level magician could change the outcome of a battle.
After opening his mouth to stop Cang Hong and others from dismembering the corpse, Salin said: "I need a complete corpse of the demon-hunting spider to refine the puppet. You can also sell the other one for money."
Cang Hong and others calmed down. Salin's words made sense. Cook was already dead, and there was no point in destroying the demon-hunting spider's body. Everyone silently retrieved the luggage left in the cave, and Salin got the smashed demon-hunting spider.
Now he can't even draw a scroll, let alone make a puppet, which requires a lot of knowledge of magic circles. However, materials such as demon-hunting spiders are very rare. They like to move alone and are difficult to find in dark caves. Although it does not have a magic core, the claws of the demon-hunting spider can break through the defenses of magic or divine magic. It is one of the best materials for refining puppets.
Putting the dark demon-hunting spider into the skin, Saleen's magic string recovered one-fifth, and he could release about four first-level magics. By this time, his water pattern shield had disappeared, and three huge bubbles appeared. It's like it never existed. Saleen silently calculated that after the Water Pattern Shield mutated, it could remain in the air for less than three minutes.
This magic can support a battle, but it is not enough for long-term defense.
The four remaining members of the Cang Falcon Mercenary Group began to dig a cave and bury Cook. Saleen then began to collect the loot. The armors of the few people killed by Sika were completely shattered, losing their value for collection. The opponent's archer didn't have any magic arrows left on his body, only a few gold coins.
After collecting the corpses together, Salin finally found a letter from the magician's body and a badge belonging to the magician. There were a few lines written in Tanggulasi on the back of the badge. Salin was silent after reading it.
The badge clearly states the position of the magician—El Salvador Cathedral, first-class priest, Cocian.
What was even worse was the letter. The person who wrote the letter ordered the first-level priest to enter the Chaotic Swamp and cooperate with the Holy See's actions. This action only had a code name and no description of the content.
Ke Xien himself did not know what the code-named operation "Humble" meant. He was just a pioneer, using the vulture mercenary group to enter the Chaos Swamp and wait for instructions.
The person who wrote this letter had a strange signature - Faka.
At the end of the letter, there is a seal. Although Salin didn't know much about the Holy See, he recognized this seal. It represented the envoy of the Holy See who was the unlucky magician.
Salin passed the letter to everyone to read, and the atmosphere in the cave became more solemn.
The Holy See controls the Tangulas Empire on the continent of Mers. After more than two hundred years of operation, it has become a behemoth. Not to mention the Holy Knights stationed in the Glorious Plains, the Inquisition, which was outside the Privy Council, was enough to make most people fearful.
These are just conventional forces. The most feared ones are the seven divine envoys under the Pope. The Seven Messengers are said to have received the favor of God and possess powers that are not of this world.
Every divine envoy has the ability of a ninth-level magician. This time Salin and others killed the vanguard of the seven divine envoys. Thinking of this, Cang Hong almost had the urge to commit suicide.
If only an unimportant priest was missing, the Holy See would not come all the way to investigate. But now this priest suddenly disappears while performing his mission. Even a fool knows that something unexpected happened.
Although the Blue Falcon Mercenary Group did not leave any special traces in the professional union, it only hired two small first-level mercenaries. The problem is, someone must have seen Cang Hong and others appear in Didipus. If the Vatican pursues them, Cang Hong and others will definitely not be able to cover up this fact.
