A moment later, the number of demonized black snakes was reduced to less than half under the attacks of Richard and the others, which made them feel the crisis of death.
"Hiss~~"
The neighing sound sounded again, and the demonized black snakes erupted in unison with numerous wind blades to force the three of Richard back, and rushed toward the center, coiling into a ball and entwining each other. Transparent mucus is secreted from the surface of the body, binding each other together, as if preparing to join together.
Then... one second, two seconds, three seconds...
Three seconds later, looking at the many demonized black snakes that were still entangled, Bobo Bovich was silent for a while, and couldn't help but speak: "Well... I can see clearly, these snakes seem to be preparing to use some kind of A special transformation spell can temporarily form an extremely huge snake, bursting out with more powerful combat power, so as to defeat and kill us.
But having said that, this process is too slow. It doesn't look like it can be completed within a few minutes. Who has the patience to wait for them? "
"So, we won't wait any longer." Richard said without any hesitation. He waved his hand to form several Longtonic spears, and he was about to attack the tangled demonized black snake.
"Wait, wait!" Bobo Bo Vicki suddenly stopped Richard, took out a bottle of light red potion that looked like strawberry juice from his arms, and said, "Let me do it! I still have a lot of time. I haven't used a bottle of new potion that I value so much, so I just took this opportunity to see the effect.
Didn't you say before that you would give me the points for this mission? I have received such a big benefit, so I have to make more profit. "
After hearing what he said, Richard glanced at Bobo Bo Vicki, did not refuse, and said, "Okay then."
After getting the consent, Bobo Bovich showed a satisfied expression, opened the stopper of the medicine, and put the medicine into his mouth.
As a result, before his lips even touched the potion, he heard a surprised cry from beside him.
"ah!"
Bobo Bovich turned his head and saw Holo's left hand suddenly stretched out, leading Holo to rush forward.
The next moment, Holo jumped high into the air, waved her left hand, and with a "brush", the entire area of 100 meters was dyed a rich scarlet red.
Then Holo fell towards the many demonized black snakes that were entangled. The demonized black snakes sensed the danger, biting at Holo one after another, and shot out wind blades.
Holo flickered and moved to the side of the demonized black snake.
Before the demonized black snake could react, Holo flashed again and appeared on the back of the demonized black snake.
The third flash appeared on the other side of the demonized black snake.
Richard noticed that at the end of Holo's left finger, there was a slender red thread, slowly wrapping around the coiled demonized black snake.
Holo's body kept flickering, and the speed became faster and faster. In the end, more than ten Holo could be seen appearing and disappearing at the same time.
Finally, Holo appeared above the demonized black, and there was already a dense and large net that caught all the demonized black snakes.
Holo pulled the red thread with her left hand and lifted it hard, and a dazzling blood burst out.
The slender red line was like a laser that cut everything, suddenly cutting into the half-formed body of the huge black snake.
"Whoops!"
The giant black snake was crushed to pieces, and a large amount of flesh and blood spread on the ground. Almost all the demonized black snakes that made up the giant black snake died. Only a small part of the demonized black snake that had not had time to fully integrate was alive. It emerged from the flesh and attacked Holo angrily.
As a result, there were no surprises. These demonized black snakes were all killed one by one by Holo after crushing their bodies with an energy whip.
There was silence in the field, and Holo walked back.
Popobo Vicki glanced at Holo, then bent down with a stiff expression, picked up the discarded stopper, wiped it and re-stoppered the potion bottle, then put it back in his arms.
Holo apologized at this time: "Wizard Vicky, I'm really sorry. It's not that I wanted to do it, but you also know that my hands are a little out of control."
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you must have done it on purpose!" Popobo Vicki said loudly in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He watched Holo approach, and with a stiff face, he quickly stepped away to keep a safe distance. , afraid that Holo would hit someone again—until now, he still remembers Holo’s previous slap.
Looking at Bobo Bo Vicki's appearance, Holo gave a helpless smile. The same thing happened too many times, and she was used to being misunderstood.
No longer forcing an explanation, he turned around and looked at the dead demonized black snake, then looked at Richard and said, "Wizard Richard, have we solved the problem of the withered forest now?"
"According to previous calculations, it can be considered solved." Richard said, and then he said in a long voice, "But..."
"But what?" Holo asked.
"However, I suddenly found some doubts, and I don't know how to explain them." Richard frowned.
"Doubtful point? What doubtful point?" Holo asked strangely, "Isn't everything clear now
According to the description of the only surviving member of the third exploration team, he was indeed attacked by a powerful wind spell, so he was injured. Now that we have killed a large number of demonized black snakes who are good at wind spells, haven't we solved the culprit of this forest
Are we doing something wrong? How about, Wizard Richard, tell me your doubts and let me listen? "
"Forget it." Richard shook his head and chuckled, "Maybe I'm too sensitive. Let's clean the scene, investigate the surroundings, and leave here."
"Okay." Holo nodded.
Afterwards, a group of three people quickly dealt with the numerous demonized black snake corpses at the scene, took away the rarer materials, buried the remaining parts deep in the soil using earth spells, and got up and left.
When they arrived, the three of them were conducting reconnaissance and exploration while traveling at the same time. They couldn't move very fast at all. When returning, the road was familiar, and the speed continued to increase while maintaining a certain level of vigilance. So, in only half the time, the three people reached the edge of the forest.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly Richard stopped, frowning deeply, as if hesitating. Then his eyebrows slowly opened and he made a decision.
Looking up at Bobo Bo Vicki and Holo, Richard exhaled and said: "Huh, you two leave first. I feel that the doubts in my heart cannot be explained. To be safe, I want to return to the scene. Look again."
"What's going on?" Holo asked, "Wizard Richard, are your suspicions really that important?"
"It's not important, I just feel that there are some explanations that don't make sense." Richard said seriously, "According to my previous inference, the culprit in this dead forest should be a relatively intelligent creature.
That's why it uses the demonized moose herd to test our strength, and that's why it uses its eyes to observe us. The previous performance of the demonized black snake does not conform to this inference. Not to mention the huge flaw that the final combination gave us, it is not normal to fight to the death and fight to the death.
Generally speaking, the more intelligent a creature is, the more it values its own life. It will not easily take risks and put itself in danger, and it will not regard fighting as the only way to solve problems. It can try to escape. , surrendered, but it did not. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, so I want to go back and take a look. "
After speaking, Richard turned around, burst out with speed, and turned into a black line and flew deep into the forest, leaving Bobo Bo Vicki and Holo looking at each other in confusion.
