As a well-known aquatic spirit, Zheng Qing is no stranger to kappa.
The bird's beak, round head, pointed ears, thick shield, and the sapphire disc that is always on the forehead. Every wizard is familiar with these features.
Zheng Qing encountered this magical creature during his first night patrol.
It was a kappa crying under the moon, and its companions were kidnapped by a swarm of sandworms. At that time, the impression left on Zheng Qing by the kappa was that of a thin, weak, strange creature with a shrill voice and a beautiful jade plate on its head.
And now, Zheng Qing once again encountered a kappa blocking the road during his patrol.
In other words, the monster in front of him was once a kappa.
Except for its scarlet eyes and bulging and tangled muscles, the young wizard could still vaguely identify the monster in front of him with its sharp mouth, round head, jade plate on its head, and traces of tortoise shell on its back.
However, the tortoise's shell had been broken by its rapidly expanding skeleton, and the jade plate on its head was broken into pieces.
The kappa's usual high-pitched voice also turned into a low roar, and thin saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth.
"Wild monster..." Lin Guo moaned in a low voice: "So close...it's over..."
…
A wide variety of herbaceous plants are planted on the slopes around the lake, occasionally dotted with lush shrubs.
The kappa demon stood silently in the shadow of a bush, motionless.
This wild monster did not pounce immediately.
It was bulging its small scarlet eyes, raising its head and looking at the moon in the sky, its expression looking a little confused.
Perhaps the remaining instincts in the body are still guiding it to enjoy the slowly falling moonlight in the sky, but these remaining instincts are quickly defeated by the temptation of the aroma of food.
Its nose flapped violently, and it let out a painful roar from its throat. It got down on all fours and slowly climbed up step by step.
The sharp claws dug deep holes in the soft grass.
…
Zheng Qing looked at the blood-red eyes not far away and could clearly feel the hatred and greed in them.
The demon's hatred of the wizard.
The demon's greed for the wizard's flesh and blood.
This is a mark that is deeply ingrained in the bloodlines of wizards and demons. It is the heaviest memory after a long and brutal fight.
Any wizard who sees this look will no longer have the slightest illusion.
Zheng Qing slowly pulled the little wizard behind him, his face turned pale, but his brain was surprisingly clear.
He even had the mood to tell the difference between this wild monster transformed from a kappa and the pig monster in Damingfang.
It is obvious that the transformation of the pig demon in Damingfang is very complete. Except for the three-layered chin, it has almost completely transformed into another creature.
The shape of the kappa demon in front of me has not changed too much, except that the canines in its mouth have stretched out into fangs that curl up and down. Its frame is much taller than that of ordinary kappas, and it has long, thick black hair growing all over its body.
hair.
"Will you be protected by Oster?" Zheng Qing asked softly with his lips moving.
"No." Lin Guo replied in a softer voice.
"Then...can you start running?" Zheng Qing paused and asked again.
"...My feet are weak." The little wizard's answer was obviously filled with tears.
"Huh..." Zheng Qing let out a long breath and slowly opened the Dharma book in his hand.
Thank God, he had just finished holding the little bird, and before he could stuff the Dharma book back, the spells copied on the pages shone brightly in the moonlight, giving him a little more courage out of thin air.
This is the third time he has faced the wild monster.
For the first time in Damingfang, when he faced the wild boar monster running rampant on the street, his whole body was stiff and his mind went blank. There was not a single spell on the brand-new Dharma book. If it weren't for Thomas' thunder spell, it wouldn't be for the one that happened to fall on it.
The meditation charm on the pig's nose may mean that he has been imprisoned in the legendary black prison at this moment.
The second time on the admission plane, when he faced the gorgeous banshee, he was creepy, clumsy, and had no power to fight back. If his friends hadn't resisted vigorously, the banshee would have been there before the plane escorts rushed into the restaurant.
Tie him up and run away.
This is the third time.
His fingers touched the cold copper plate on his chest.
His eyes fell on the kappa monster on the slope, and his spirit had calmed down a lot.
"Not even close." He muttered, running his fingers over the spells copied from the Dharma book.
Compared with the rampaging wild boar and the banshee that wreaked havoc on the special plane, this kappa was far inferior in terms of size and momentum.
And compared to myself a month ago, there is a huge difference between myself and myself now.
…
Lin Guo's big black goat followed the wild monster's slowly climbing footsteps, retreating diagonally.
It always has its back arched and its head lowered, maintaining a posture of bouncing at any time.
This threat is obvious to the kappa demon.
Although it does not have high intelligence, its instinct tells it that it cannot face two enemies at the same time, and cannot expose its fragile back to the dangerous cloven-hoofed animal.
Lin Guo grabbed Zheng Qing's robe tightly and stuck out half of his head worriedly.
He was worried about his big goat who depended on each other for life.
…
Light green light slowly overflowed from Zheng Qing's Dharma books.
As if aware of the uneasy atmosphere in the air, the wild demon finally gave up on his plan to make a steady progress.
It stood upright, opened its mouth, and roared silently.
Coercion!
Zheng Qing recognized this familiar feeling immediately.
This is a method of mental shock commonly used by demons, which can greatly interfere with the wizards' ability to cast spells. However, compared to the banshee on the special plane, the aura of this kappa demon is much weaker.
But knowing does not mean being able to effectively resist, and not everyone can withstand this silent impact.
Lin Guo snorted, softened, let go of the corner of his robe, and fell limply to the ground.
Zheng Qing felt as if his head was splitting open again.
The scene in front of me seemed to be in slow motion.
He saw the rough hair all over the body of the wild monster on the slope exploded, and the skin between the muzzle was turned out because it was too open, revealing the scarlet gums and complete, pale white fangs.
He also saw the black goat, with the grass under its hooves bursting open, its head lowered and its back arched, like an arrow from the string, hitting the wild monster not far away.
"Boom!"
The wild demon's body tilted, and the black goat's big horns hit the kappa demon's back hard.
There was a dull cracking sound from the shield-shaped back, and the corners of the Kappa demon's eyes opened, and the eyeballs seemed to be punched out by this powerful force. The situation of the black goat was even more embarrassing, and it was completely destroyed by the force of the counterattack.
Unable to stand still, he rolled down the slope and almost fell into the lake.
"Boom!"
The heavy impact sounded like a bell, resounding through Zheng Qing's mind and freeing him from the mental impact of the wild monster just now.
