Since the Dragon Fly's Nest is a dangerous place, Qin Lun and his party formed a battle formation with seven people.
The thieves Lago and Mustaxia are at the front. However, Mastacia is only responsible for guiding the way, and Lago is the fastest and is responsible for finding the way. Behind them are Hill and Silver. Hill has certain healing and support abilities, and can rescue thieves in distress if necessary.
Behind them are two long-range attackers, female mages Winnie and Qin Lun, who are the main output of the team. At the end is Rick, the heavy armored knight. If the dragonfly nest is really disturbed, he needs to be cut off.
When Winnie was in danger, it was Qin Lun who was not far behind her.
"Windwalk!" Qin Lun's expression sank, and the rescue action almost didn't pass through his head. He rushed forward like a whirlwind, reached out and grabbed Winnie's wrist, and pulled back forcefully.
"It's so heavy!" However, Qin Lun immediately showed a hint of surprise on his face. With his current explosive power attribute, he couldn't pull Winnie. The female mage slid one foot into the water, her entire body was tilted almost at a 45-degree angle to face the lake.
"Whoosh..." What surprised Qin Lun was still to come. He soon found himself dragged by Winnie and slid towards the lake.
"Ah!" Winnie, who was so calm just now, suddenly cried out loudly.
"How is it possible? This woman was transformed from an elephant. How heavy... huh? Is there something in the water?" After all, Qin Lun was quick-witted, and quickly guessed the truth. Look underwater.
"What is this?" After seeing it, Qin Lun raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The image obtained by staring at the halo is always just a black and white sketch line, but it is enough for the weird things that appear in the swamp lake.
Vinnie slid into the water on her slender legs, and a pair of transparent arms were gripping her wrists tightly. Looking down the pair of transparent arms, Qin Lun found that it was a young woman.
Her hair was floating in the water, her feet were bare, and she was wearing a tattered dress with her beautiful breasts half-naked outside the collar. Of course, it's all transparent, as is her see-through arm. Her hair and dress floated up and down with the current, making her look like a humanoid jellyfish.
If it's just this, maybe it can't scare Winnie, who is a mercenary. But the face of this underwater woman is too scary, there is no blood, no wounds, but there is a pair of colorless transparent pupils on the face like a plastic mask, staring at the female mage face to face.
Vinnie felt herself suffocating, and the mage swore she was not afraid of ghosts. But being stared at by this transparent woman, the slight chill coming from her ankles, and the mirror images that she had long forgotten in the back of her mind made her fall into the ice cave, just wanting to escape far away.
Standing behind Winnie, Qin Lun saw more. Staring at the halo, he not only saw this underwater ghost, but also observed other ghosts emerging from the bottom of the underwater air roots of the banyan tree, and slowly surrounded them. The number was so large that Qin Lun's scalp tingled for a while.
"Come up!" Qin Lun felt a strong force coming from his left arm. Behind him, Rick, who was in charge of breaking the back, arrived, and the two of them finally pulled Winnie back from the water's edge together.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but at the moment Winnie's calf left the water, Qin Lun seemed to hear a faint sigh of unwillingness.
"Vinny!" Lago and Mustacia, who were exploring the way ahead, heard the scream of the female mage, but when they rushed back, the danger had been temporarily resolved.
"What is that?" Qin Lun looked at the female mage who was still in shock, and told the highland elves about the underwater ghost he just encountered.
"It's the water binding spirit. Before you came to the Land of the Dead, didn't you ask what the most famous danger here is?" Mustasia's expression was very strange. The water binding spirit didn't even ask about it, otherwise she would have warned them long ago.
"Ahem, it's urgent for us to come out!" Qin Lun said a little embarrassedly. As soon as the pricking blood trio found them, the team set off directly. He originally thought that the mercenaries would be a little familiar with this place.
"What is the water binding spirit? Is it a kind of ghost?" Lago asked curiously.
"No, ghosts are undead creatures, and the core is the fire of the soul. Seriously speaking, high-level undead already belong to the intelligent race." Mastasha explained seriously, "but the water-bound spirit is different. The water-bound spirit does not have the fire of the soul. , they are just a period of pre-life consciousness with special emotions, influenced by the environment of the land of death, and finally became like this."
"You all know that the Land of the Dead was an ancient battlefield in ancient times, right?" Mustasia continued, "There are countless people who died here. Although they didn't become undead, because there were too many, As a result, a strange aura effect is formed, so that the deceased can leave the most unforgettable memory fragments.
After the land of the dead became a swamp, these memory fragments were incorporated into all swamp lakes. According to legend, every banyan tree in the land of the dead has a water-bound spirit bound under every air root. If it weren't for the fact that most of the waterbound spirits couldn't leave the water, I'm afraid the coast of the Sword Coast would suffer an unparalleled catastrophe. "
"There is one under each air root?!" Everyone gasped as they looked at the thick air roots exposed on the water.
Most of the banyan trees in the dead swamp are huge, and each one has at least hundreds of buried aerial roots. Although this place is not as lush as ordinary forests, it covers a huge area after all, and there are thousands of banyan trees at least.
After this conversion, the number of water bound spirits is terrible, almost equivalent to the entire population of a medium-sized country.
"Hey, Winnie, it's just something that looks like a ghost, so there's no need to be so afraid?" Lago waved his palm in front of the dazed female mage, hoping that she would cheer up.
"Don't disturb her, the water binding spirits have varying degrees of spiritual deterrence to all living beings. It is said that their eyes can reflect the most fearful things in the other party's heart." Mastacia pulled the thief away and said softly, "No one knows what she saw, anyway, it will never be the water bound spirit itself."
"It's so scary!" Lago laughed dryly, muttered and walked away.
"Hey, guys, I said we should leave, there seems to be some movement over there!" Just as everyone was discussing softly, Xi Fu's weak words sounded again at the right time.
"Dragonfly! Damn it, I forgot about them." Rick looked back, his expression changed drastically, he cursed secretly, and hurriedly signaled everyone to leave quickly.
Because of Winnie's previous scream, the dragonfly nest, which was only tens of meters away from them, was disturbed. Although the commotion caused by the crowd was not too great, more than a dozen dragon flies that were active outside the dragon fly nest came towards this side.
"We are too close to the dragonfly nest, we can't fight here. Everyone protect yourselves and get rid of these tails after keeping the distance from the dragonfly nest." Mustaxia remained calm and helped Winnie up with one hand , dragging her forward.
"You protect Hill!" Qin Lun gestured to Rand, then grabbed Sif who was beside him and followed Mustasha.
Legal professions cannot use magic at this time, so it has to be a little more cumbersome. Only Rick hung far behind, as a target to attract the dragonfly, anyway, he was fully armed, and being stung a few times was not painful.
The crowd suddenly accelerated, which also attracted the attention of the dragon fly. These large insect-like monsters are very sensitive in movement, but their flying speed is not fast. Even so, the distance between everyone and them shortened rapidly over time, and Rick, who was hanging at the end, was surrounded by several dragonflies.
Immediately after the knight was surrounded, he was stung several times on the head wearing the helmet. It's a pity that although the dragon fly's tail needle is very sharp, there is no good way to handle this iron can.
In order not to disturb the swarm of dragonflies on the other side of the nest, Rick didn't dare to fight back. Just wave your arms in front of you continuously to avoid blocking your vision. However, the companions who had been paying attention to him all the time in the front could still observe Rick's running, which slowed down at an obvious speed, probably affected by the magic of the dragonfly's talent.
"We should feel lucky, there were only a dozen or so dragonflies chasing after us, otherwise Rick would not be able to run now." Mustasha looked back gratefully, and quickened her pace.
After running more than a hundred meters, the dragonfly nest behind them could not be seen very clearly. Under the influence of the fog, they could only see a faint black shadow.
"Look, they're coming this way." Xi Fu, who was being dragged away by Qin Lun, suddenly called out in a low voice.
Everyone looked back, and they found that the dragon flies that had been circling around Rick began to separate into several and flew forward. These big bugs are not completely without wisdom. Since the iron can below cannot be chewed, they will naturally think of several other prey.
"Is this distance enough?" Qin Lun asked Mastasha with a cold light in his eyes.
"It's almost there. Although we haven't left the Dragon Fly's territory, it doesn't prevent us from leaving." Mustaxia knew exactly what Qin Lun was asking, nodded and took off the longbow behind him.
"No, let me do it faster!" At this moment, Rand suddenly took a step forward and reached out to stop Mustasia.
"Are you sure? To deal with dragonflies, it's safer to attack from a long range!" Mustasia gave Rand a puzzled look.
"Leave it to him, it's a waste of time to kill them one by one!" Qin Lun and Rand looked at each other and smiled, "Firework, let me see your progress!"
"I won't let you down!" Rand shrugged and spread his hands, a fireball floating on each palm.
These two fireballs are different from the magician's fireballs. They are more like two balls of lava that have been squeezed into balls. The magma seeps out from the gaps in the lava balls, and after dripping on the wet ground, balls of high-temperature water vapor rise.
