The elemental storm had shrunk considerably before a crystal ball was thrown at it. However, when the shining crystal ball flew into the storm, the shape of the entire storm suddenly shrank, and then suddenly burst out!
boom!
Dazzling white light covered the entire sky, and the shocking explosion knocked everyone in the valley to the ground. The elemental storm exploded in the air, and Grant could no longer suppress it. The accumulated elements, mental power, and other miscellaneous things were all released at once.
"This... this madman!"
The terrifying elemental impact instantly covered it, and Grant had no choice but to take out a few strange-shaped crosses. After crushing them, they glowed with powerful protective power to protect themselves.
But despite this, the impact of mental power still caused a dull pain in his head. All he could see were chaotic elements, the intertwined blue and white blocking all sight, and even the connection between him and the light element was cut off.
-In this case, he can only use some simple magic.
However…
"Suffer death!"
Suddenly, Benjamin's voice came from far away, startling Grant into a cold sweat.
He didn't know why the other party was still able to take action in this situation, but... it was already difficult for him to withstand one more round of indiscriminate bombardment.
Therefore, Grant quickly built a few more layers of defense, and at the same time, flew as far back as possible. Now he can't see anything, can't sense anything, the situation is too unfavorable for him. He must first break free from the aftermath of the explosion of the elemental storm!
However, the abnormality caused by the explosion of the elemental storm seemed to cover the entire Norman River Valley, and Grant could not fly out no matter what he did.
In desperation, he could only take out another necklace and crush it into pieces. The holy white light rose from his hands again, shining on the chaotic elements outside.
Under the illumination of white light, the blue and white haze finally began to fade. The chaotic elements were quickly sorted out, and the devastated river valley reappeared before his eyes. There are charred potholes everywhere on the mountain wall, and some places have been flattened by direct blasts. The bare river bed is exposed, like the wrinkled and ugly skin of a corpse.
And Benjamin has long disappeared.
… He ran away.
Grant realized this, took a deep breath, and immediately began to sense the stolen key. However, at this time, he found that the key's induction had also dissipated, and it was probably sealed again by the other party's magic.
At that moment, Grant clenched his fists. He took out an "Eye of God" and began to speak to all the nearby priests:
"The target has just escaped from the Norman River Valley. Everyone is on alert and has built a holy light barrier. Once I find his traces, I will rush over immediately!"
This time, a trap was set for Benjamin to take the bait. Not only did he pretend to be a priest and follow the grain team, but he also set up an encirclement and a dragnet outside the valley to prevent anyone from getting out.
This time...he will never let Benjamin escape again!
With a flash of holy light, Grant's figure disappeared into the sky above the river valley.
At the same time that the church launched the manhunt plan, Benjamin himself had just escaped from the Norman River Valley and was lying in a bush, looking a little embarrassed.
"... You are really capable of seeking death." The system's mocking voice came from his mind.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
"What can I do? The time is coming. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." He replied in his heart, "At least now, I have shaken Grant away, which can be regarded as a complete attraction." It has grabbed the attention of the church and taken a lot of time for us to prepare for war. Now, I just need to sneak out of here."
"What a beautiful thought...can you sneak out?"
"If you don't try it, who knows?"
In this way, Benjamin hid in the bushes, using the water element sensing method to observe all the movements around him, and then carefully moved outside.
The Norman River Valley area is still quite large, but the surrounding environment is eerily quiet. Benjamin also knew that in order to surround him, the church had probably cleared the area to facilitate their search. It's really not that easy to escape from here.
However, even now, thinking back on the action just now, he still felt that it was a bit scary that Grant specifically hid in the food team to squat on him.
Did the church know that he would definitely come to rob this food team
Benjamin didn't know what went wrong. Was there a spy in General Stewart's spy? Or has the church already figured out his behavior and is sure that he will show up? But in any case, it is not a good sign that your behavior is expected by the enemy.
Subsequently, he also felt that the difficulty of breaking through became more difficult.
After carefully advancing for about half an hour, avoiding all the patrolling Paladins on the way, Benjamin was finally leaving this area. However, at this time, the water element in the distance gave him a less optimistic sight.
"Now you are in a miserable situation." The system gloated. "Look at that barrier, look at those holy light cannons and the bishops mixed in the crowd, now you are really in a miserable situation."
Benjamin hid behind a tree and rubbed his temples, too lazy to talk to the system.
On the road ahead, rows of well-trained troops suddenly appeared. If you look closely, you will see that those are all members of the church. In fact, the proportion of priests is horribly high. They formed a tight encirclement and completely blocked the road ahead.
What's even more surprising is that a defensive barrier similar to Havenlight has been set up here. Although the strength of that bright golden barrier may not be particularly high, it covers an extremely wide area, sealing off every direction. At this moment, not even a bird can fly out of the Norman River Valley.
Benjamin took a deep breath and sensed it underground with a sense of luck. However, the result was also very bad. He found that this enchantment extended directly to their feet, eventually forming a complete closed ball shape. No matter which point he tried to break through, everyone in the church would be alarmed.
And since his "Water Coming" has been used up and his mental state is not good, it will be difficult to break out from here in a very short period of time. Grant must be nearby. As long as he is delayed for a moment, Grant will rush over within a few minutes.
what to do
At that moment, Benjamin felt tremendous pressure. He took a deep breath and ran through all possible ways in his mind, but he couldn't find a way to quickly break through the encirclement.
Is it possible that we can only hide here and wait for the cooling down of "Water's Coming" to find an opportunity to break out
It seems...that's all it can do.
In desperation, Benjamin left the vicinity of the encirclement and carefully groped towards the nearby forest with the most obstacles. However, soon... he found that it was not that easy to delay the cooling time.
