Chapter 048 Blood Lake in front of the woods
Inside the dark and humid cave are large areas of open space for people to live and stone houses stacked on hills. Their appearance is pitch black, with some small white grass and green flowers planted in front of the door.
Behind is a towering mage tower, with dozens of black crystals floating on the top of the tower, shining with a moving luster.
But at this moment, the open space ahead was crowded with hundreds of pitch-black stone men, as well as various energy spells flying across the sky, intertwined into colorful fireworks, and exploded with a bang.
"Ho ho!! Humanity!!" The fourth-level stone element held a stone staff and felt so angry for the first time. All companions were rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In maybe ten minutes, only the remaining ones would survive.
Nearly a hundred.
Similarly, the loss of so many companions left many stone men only about ten meters away from Grant and others. They could almost collide face to face.
When Grant saw the opponent rushing towards him, he stopped releasing the spell, grabbed it in the air, and a black sword appeared out of thin air.
Leife next to him also grabbed it in the air, and a light blue cross sword appeared. The sword was covered with layers of green lines. This was a sword reshaped by Grant, with a higher hardness and attack power.
"Leffi and I will go up and try to stop their attack, and I'll leave the rest to you, you know?"
"No problem, you and Leifei can stop us. As long as we persist for another four minutes, I believe we can suppress the number of stone men to the point where there is no danger."
Brillant then threw a dark green, furry thing. It landed in the middle of the ground, and suddenly exploded the chests and heads of the two stone men. The stone fragments on the ground also fell into the air, turning into dust.
.
"Do you want us to help you?" Momolan sent a message to Grant. She thought that Grant and Leife were good at close combat, but the stone man in front of her was so powerful that it was no longer comparable to humans.
Grant shook his head and said coldly: "No!"
"Then be careful."
"Don't worry, I always cherish my life!" Grant drew out his sword, made a stabbing stance, and suddenly rushed to the nearest stone man and raised his hand to stab. A misty black energy appeared on the surface of the sword blade. When the sword flashed past,
The stone man's head fell neatly and smoothly to the ground.
Phew! Seeing an opportunity, a stone man behind him jumped up and swung his fist fiercely. The whistling wind tore through the air and struck Grant in the back with precision. He had just seen his companion create an opportunity for him.
, in this case, it must succeed.
"Hmph!" Lei Fei appeared at some unknown time, slashed out a sword beam, passed through the stone man's chest, and poked a big hole. The heart of the earth inside suddenly fell into pieces and fell to the ground with a crash.
"Lefi, stand behind me. Be careful. Try to release your power without others suspecting it." Grant took a few steps back and stood close behind Leife. He ran over to resist the stone man.
It was to help Brillante and the others delay for some time, and the other idea was to save mana.
"Yes. Master!" Leife nodded, stepped on his toes, stretched out a sword flower, and pierced the body of the stone man. Then he pulled out the sword fiercely, and the entire body of the stone man disappeared. Grant saw her
Take action. Attack the nearest stone crowd suddenly, trying to cut off all the numbers.
The confrontation between the two sides ended like this. Brillant retreated while fighting. After seeing that more than a third of the stone crowd was restrained by Grant and Reffi, he was a little relieved and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, come on, there are still two minutes."
You can suppress it to a safe position."
"We understand, let's fight!" Momolan, Kelly and others released spells desperately, frantically extracting the mental power and mana stored in the sea of meditation. The energy of elemental particles in the entire mid-air was extracted uncontrollably, forming a thin environment.
.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Many stone men moved forward, but fell in front. One after another, they formed a domino effect.
More than a minute later.
"Starry sky!" Grant jumped into the middle, turned and waved dozens of sword lights. The light blue green lights split into blue light spots the size of grains of rice in the air, like stars in the sky.
They cut through arcs of light like meteors and hit the stone man, immediately making small holes and spilling a lot of sticky liquid.
Leife threw a fist-sized seed and drilled it into the ground.
"Big earthquake!"
The seeds fell to the ground and released energy. The whole ground roared and cracked open. The standing stone man felt the ground shaking back and forth. He wanted to stop it but was unable to do anything.
Grant's eyes lit up, he jumped in the air and stabbed down. The sword light flashed across the necks of a circle of stone men around him like running water, causing a large number of stone men to fall, and the heart of the earth inside them was destroyed.
After he finished waving, he turned his wrist, and a scroll appeared suspended in the center of his palm.
Grant directly tore open the edge of the paper, and a fire elemental giant ran out from inside, charging at the stone men who dared to rush around. It temporarily blocked the remaining stone men who were like a tide from squeezing Grant.
He fell down, half-bent, and panted slightly: "Leifei, we are preparing to retreat. Now my physical strength is exhausted and my mana is almost wasted. What is left can only keep you moving in a small area in reality."
"Yes." Reffi nodded, stretched out his hand and stabbed the bodies of the two stone men with his sword, making way for Grant. Grant took the opportunity to walk in the direction of Brillant along the route opened by Reffi.
When I saw them retreating seven or eight meters in front of the cave entrance, they were resisting the piles of stones and stone men around them.
"I can't hold on anymore, I'll leave the rest to you." Grant said tiredly.
"Thank you. The remaining stone men will only get weaker and weaker, and we have been able to hold on." Brillant nodded gratefully to Grant, and at the same time threw several small fire snakes to harass them.
Grant leaned on the rock wall of the cave, walked to the entrance, sat down, and leaned against the wall.
He took out a bottle of light blue potion and drank it. Gudong, gudong... The potion poured into his body, bringing a large amount of pure energy.
"It's so refreshing. The feeling of depletion caused by not having mana is so uncomfortable." Grant couldn't help but sigh. He turned his head and glanced at Brillante who was mopping up the remaining stone men. There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes. The massive massacre just now brought about
The energy directly rises to one-ninth, and after a few more attempts, it can rise directly to one level.
After Grant recovered some physical strength, he went to strangle the remaining stone men again. His efforts made the other mages feel strange and incomprehensible. However, they felt that it would be better if someone was willing to take action, and it took six minutes to clear out all the stone men.
Brillant and others had consumed most of the scrolls and a small number of large talisman disks, and the staffs were also slightly damaged. These all cost money to accumulate and consume, not to mention spiritual power, mana recovery potions, etc.
Fortunately, they knew that there were massive resources stored by fifth-level mages in the Mage Tower, which were enough to make up for this loss.
After resting for a while, the leader Brillant felt that he had almost recovered. He stood up and walked to Grant and asked: "Are we going to take action now? There is still a little distance to go."
"It's okay, but there is a blood lake ahead. There are some blood demons there, and they probably need to be cleaned up." Grant thought of the difficulties here and said casually.
"What else?" Brillante's face looked ugly. Just one round of Stone Man was enough to consume all the spell inscription devices, scrolls, large talisman disks, and many potions. If there was another round, he wouldn't be able to resist it even if he wanted to.
"This time it's not as difficult as last time. Let's take action." Grant smiled slightly, seeming to guess what Brillant was thinking, and comforted him slightly.
When Brillant heard this, his face became a little better, and he smiled and said: "In that case, let's go."
"Yes." Grant nodded and saw Momolan, Kelly, Lot and others getting up one after another and walking to their side holding the staff.
Beside the hill where the stone houses are piled, there is a very ordinary grassland, with clusters of small white flowers and fine stones on the ground.
There are several hills and a looming forest ahead, and further ahead you can only see the mage tower.
The cold wind blows on your face, and you can smell the faint fragrance of green grass.
"Let's go." Grant knew that there was a forbidden air formation in the sky, and it was impossible to fly unless he was on the fifth level. He took the lead to walk to the front, followed closely by Brillant and others, each one without pulling down.
Go forward.
Walking along the sparse grass road, we walked into the woods. On the gray-yellow tree trunks, a few scattered leaves fell. Grant used an eagle eye technique and saw that in front of the woods was a field with the pungent smell of blood.
Lake, the surface of the lake is sparkling, and fine ripples are swayed by the breeze from time to time.
Above the lake, there are several light blue light spots floating, which seem to be some kind of metal core, with several spiral patterns surrounding the circle.
Brillante, Momolan, Lot and others around Grant saw him using the Eagle Eye Technique, and they were a little curious. They all blessed themselves with the Eagle Eye Technique, wanting to see what was in front of them.
They were a little surprised when they saw it.
"What is that? Is this the blood lake Grant mentioned? Why are there nuclear life fluctuations in the mechanical core above?"
"It should be some kind of puppet item, but judging from the gargoyles and stone elements, it should be a typical attempt to use puppets to create a strong army comparable to humans. Unfortunately, the stone elements only have low-level wisdom."
"That's right. It's too difficult to make a living puppet."
Grant stood aside, but shook his head and thought about the King of Life. Since he can pack life into weapons, he must be able to create creatures with higher intelligence than stone elements.
"Everyone, let's go first!" The group of people moved forward and walked straight through the woods. They could see a bright red lake in front of them.
The fishy wind in front of them made several people frown slightly. Only Kelly and Brillant were better, and there was no change.
"Let's go around here first and go to the Mage Tower inside." Grant secretly thought that he could concentrate on these cores when he got back. Now, go to the Mage Tower first. If there is danger, he can use the Mage Tower's attack crystal to carry out carpet bombardment.
But at this moment, two figures walked out of the woods, led by an old mage wearing a silver robe.
"Oh, you guys are great." He chuckled, his eyes flashing with a cold light. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com (.) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support is mine.
