"Are we just going to keep running in a straight line?"
"At this point... we don't seem to have any other options."
"Left, left! Block those ghosts... Uh, what's the name of that beast with horns on its head?"
"You told me not to ask me! How could I possibly know that thing?"
Amidst another dull collision of earth and rocks, the four people's eight feet quickly crossed the defense line of another gate, and then, under the magical cover of a certain magician who called himself "Rashomon", they rushed through all kinds of wonderful things. The creatures blocked again and again. These wonderful creatures include not only beasts from other areas of the Marom Stone Forest, but also various forms such as stone forest insect swarms, stone forest rat swarms, stone forest vines, and the stone forest itself. They hear the sounds in their own unique ways, and then use various methods to All kinds of jaw-dropping attacks, trying to keep the four living people in front of them in this place shrouded in purple energy.
Judging from the broken stone walls that were left behind by the team, they had entered a state of near madness.
"I said genius magician...how much energy do you have left?"
"Don't ask me such meaningless questions. Can I help you solve something if you know it?"
"What I mean is... you can choose a more labor-saving method of releasing magic. Just put earth walls on both sides of us. There is no need to use wind magic to push it away..."
"You know what, can this have offensive power? What's the difference between a wall without offensive power and a salted fish..."
"We need it as soon as possible."
Doutou knocked over a monster that rushed through the gap in the door wall, chopped melons and vegetables, and rushed to the front in two steps. At the same time, he opened the system menu and reminded the two quarreling players without looking back: " Our blood volume is still declining, and now only 68% is left..."
"What?" Feng Chui Lang, who had been barely catching up, exclaimed, "How is that possible? It's only been half a minute, right?"
"Given the pungent smell, you should have guessed the toxicity of these purple gases." Duan Qing sighed helplessly as he turned to look at the pursuers who were chasing after them because they were left behind. : "Not immediately decomposing us into fertilizer in this place is already an expression of nature's utmost benevolence."
"Are you sure this is just nature's benevolence and not the designer's malice?" The magician named Yunmeng suddenly raised his hands, and then waved them in all directions directly in front: "As soon as I stepped in This place has received such a grand welcome..."
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look right!"
Several rock spikes drilled out of the ground appeared on the left and right of the stone forest one after another, accurately piercing some snake-like black shadows wandering on the ground into the air, but the meteorite that achieved such results in an instant was There was no trace of pride, because more black shadows from the depths of darkness had emerged from the cracks in the ground one after another. The same scene as what happened when they first came to this place was once again staged in front of them, but this time the actors turned into snake-like creatures. In the scalp-numbing voice of the message, the whole The surface of the dim stone forest seemed to be vibrating with their appearance, as if the earth had turned into a living creature: "Although I can't fool my eyes, grandpa, there are so many snakes..."
"Is it the legendary Five Poison Formation?" The usually fearless chopping melon and vegetable also stopped hesitantly: "There won't be any scorpions, centipedes or the like behind..."
"Ah ah ah ah what should I do?" Feng Shui Lang, who was rubbing his arms vigorously, was spinning in circles: "This way of death is too miserable!"
"It's a good thing I didn't bring those women here, otherwise they would have fainted by now." Duan Qing sighed helplessly while pressing his forehead, and then gave a knowing look back to Yunmeng who was looking over: "Since there is no way... …”
"Let's just build a road ourselves!"
The sound of the ground rising suddenly rose with his shout, and as another magician raised his staff, it spread to all directions. Stone walls also appeared with the appearance of these vibrations. , lined up in front of four people in an upright row. The enlightened Chopper looked up and saw that Duan Qing, who was holding a stone hammer, had jumped to the top of the first stone wall. Then he took a deep breath and pointed into the air in front of him. He knocked out with a hammer: "Go!"
"They're not stupid!"
Hiss——
Several curved and slender figures flew into the distance with Duan Qing's hammer blow, and fell into the depths of the purple mist. He gritted his teeth and turned around to chop melons and vegetables, but his subsequent movements were blocked by those around him. Yunmeng stopped him: "Don't worry about me for now, go pick up that useless guide."
"and you……"
"This final work... I still have to complete it myself."
The rumbling sound of the earthquake sounded in everyone's ears again, but this time it sounded on the road they had just passed. The gaps that appeared due to the vibration of the ground also spread towards the road with some kind of magical power. Further circular areas extend. More and more beasts and reptiles fell to the ground due to the gradual strengthening of the shock wave, and at the same time, more pursuers from behind were tripped to the ground. However, the sweating Yumeng did not stop at all, holding the gun in his hand. The staff suddenly turned and pointed toward the sky farther away: "Tornado!"
The whirlwind with a rotating trajectory rushed into the sky with his loud shout, scattering the black clouds of insects that had been chasing behind them, but the chopping melons and vegetables with the big knife were slightly chopping. He sighed, then grabbed the stunned Feng Chui Lang's arm: "What are you looking at? Run!"
"But, but..."
"Nothing but!"
A sudden flash of sword light flashed from the corner of Fengchui Mailang's eyes, bringing up several twisted and severed snake shadows. Fengchui Mailang, who was already standing on the top of the stone wall, shivered, and his eyes finally fell on him. On the narrow air path that Duan Qing had cleared: "Wow! They..."
"The stone walls only last for a few seconds, and they will still climb up... We don't have many chances to escape this way."
The voice belonging to Duan Qing immediately rose in front, and at the same time, there was the sound of him suddenly smashing the earth wall in front: "So..."
"Brother Yumeng, can you not put down so many earth walls at once?" He pointed at the swarms of snakes that fell together with the shattering of the earth wall: "Don't give them time to follow suit. .”
"Whatever, it's up to you..."
Two invisible wind blades flew past the edge of the earth wall, once again bringing up countless black shadows with snake heads cut in half. A panting magician also climbed up against the stone wall behind the wind-blown wheat waves. He came up and stopped at the end of the team with his staff: "Grandpa, let me rest for a while..."
"Ah? How can I rest here..."
"What he means...is to let us carry it."
The thrown sword was like a shadowless attack. As the name suggests, the melon and vegetable chopper sent away several crawling creatures on both sides again. Then, while looking at the earthquake that had not stopped behind him, he squatted helplessly in front of Yumeng. In front of him: "There is really no delay now. While we are still alive, let's buy more time for this weak magician."
"I, I'm fine..."
"Stop making any noise."
With the wind blowing the wheat waves, he lifted his body left and right, chopping melons and vegetables and said expressionlessly: "Recover your strength quickly. We still count on you to come on the road ahead..."
boom!
An earthen wall that was slightly inferior to the stone wall suddenly rose up where Duan Qing had just smashed it, continuing the disappeared road forward a few minutes. Duan Qing, who never looked back, also took on the role of a pioneer. , swept the glowing stone hammer in his hand forward: "Although the quality is not as good as yours, the uses are still the same... Why are you standing still? Follow me quickly!"
"Originally I was worried that you didn't raise it high enough..." Behind the surprised swordsman, Yunmeng's smiling voice slowly sounded: "I'm relieved now."
"Height is not a factor used to measure the quality of the earth wall. After all, its main purpose is not this." Duan Qing, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand and released another identical earth wall again: "Now this situation... …It’s very easy for me, a half-time mage.”
"No matter how good a magician you are, as long as you are a magician..." Yuemeng, who was carrying his body forward, looked up at the sky and sighed like a murmur: "This sentence of the Council of Mages The motto seems to make sense now."
"Magic is the only unscientific thing in the free world. There are many things it can do." Duan Qing continued to move forward, waving the stone hammer in his hand and slapping the venomous snakes crawling in front into mincemeat: "If used properly..."
"Simple results can potentially solve many problems."
"You, you actually know magic?" Zhaguaqiecai, who had never had much contact with Duan Qing, finally exclaimed: "And... can you release it so quickly?"
"Actually, it's not that fast. It's just that I'm prepared in advance." Duan Qing looked back at the other party: "Compress the pre-movements required for casting the spell in advance... A friend of mine taught me this."
"Then, that's not right!" Cutting melons and cutting vegetables looked back at Yunmeng's face, as if hoping that this professional could answer this question: "What about the second earth wall? The release interval of the two earth walls So close, it can’t be achieved by compression magic, right?”
"Well...this is the special effect on this stone hammer."
Looking at the weapon in his hand, Duan Qing laughed lowly, and then while reaching out to lift the new path, he turned around and knocked out in the direction behind the team. A strange force immediately appeared in the space below the team, shaking several poisonous snakes that wanted to attack into blood-red powder, and then smashed the stone wall behind them into pieces amidst the ear-piercing air whistle. Looking at this scene, the swordsman opened his mouth completely, as if he was completely unable to understand what happened in that scene. Duan Qing, who withdrew the light in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and once again ran ahead on the new road: "Don't ask, what's the point of worrying about the free earth wall? Instead of worrying about whether we can survive..."
"It's better to study how to break the situation."
"Breaking?"
"Yeah, break the situation."
Feeling the increasingly pungent smell, Duan Qing also looked up at the dark purple sky above his head: "This is like a situation where everyone is mobilized..."
"But it's not natural at all."
With the appearance of new earth walls and the disappearance of old earth walls, earth and stone fragments all over the sky appeared around the team again and again, blocking the attacks from the swarms of poisonous snakes from the scope of the stone walls, and at the same time blocking them. The position is advancing bit by bit. The noises from all directions became louder and louder, as if they were angry at the fact that these uninvited guests were still alive, and then more strange creatures were sent to Duan Qing and the four of them. The two players responsible for protecting Yumeng had to bite the bullet and start to deal with the surrounding creatures, and even attacks from the air. The speed of the team also had to slow down a bit as the battle became stalemate, and even a few appeared. The team was almost wiped out for the first time. Due to physical limitations, Duan Qing's speed of casting the earth wall has become slower and slower. If it were not for the effect of the stone hammer in his hand, the journey of several people may have stopped at an earlier moment, and then drowned in endless poison Among the army.
"So...why are we surrounded?"
In the team that was completely surrounded due to the slowdown, a voice belonging to Yu Meng suddenly sounded softly: "From the beginning when we entered this place, we were targeted by all the creatures in the stone forest. Their hatred is so great. Gao, their actions are also so unhesitating..."
"What did you notice?" Duan Qing, who was guarding the front, let out a relieved smile: "Magician?"
"It's like... we suddenly broke into a castle." Yuemeng, who had been looking at the sky since just now, subconsciously replied: "The owner of the castle is very unwelcome to us. He also has a comprehensive surveillance system. So no matter where we go, they will continue the pursuit endlessly..."
"It's more like madness than surveillance." Duan Qing, who was wielding a stone hammer, responded in a low tone: "Based on my more than thirty years of gaming experience... this feeling of being against everyone, It’s like fighting against the will of the world.”
"The will to fight against the world... Yes, that's what it feels like." Yumeng's eyes lit up: "The reason why this stone forest is listed as a forbidden area is probably because it has its own will, so..."
"Ah, bah, don't say such bluffing nonsense, okay?" With raised eyebrows, he chopped up melons, chopped vegetables, and flew away a few flying insects that looked like wasps. He wanted to turn around and slap his teammates twice: "Don't do it again. The second grader is sick! Let’s get to the point quickly!”
"Yes, let's get to the point." Duan Qing's voice followed closely: "From your magician's perspective... what do you think the surveillance eye here is?"
"Well...hum!"
She opened her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth, which had not moved for a long time. She broke away from her resting state with both hands holding the staff tightly: "It seems...it's time to use my true skills, grandpa." ”
He took out a scroll from his arms, then waved a large bright flame, and then suddenly raised his hands amidst the smell of burning flying insects around him: "The art of wind and fire——"
"Firestorm!"
