This unknown ruin has been eroded over the years, and the original solid building has become dilapidated. There are a lot of cracks in the half-destroyed passages, tilted columns and limestone floor tiles, which can peek into the unreachable shadows in the depths. The situation is far worse than
The Watchfort on the edge of the forest is even more serious.
Even so, the ruins of the ruins are still solemn and solemn. The inexorable gloom and decay in the Whispering Forest cannot invade here. Even the dead vines and old trees on the roadside have an aura that cannot be underestimated.
Griffith passed a cracked floor tile, and the pale moonlight cast into the deep gap, and a huge shadow flashed from below. He wanted to speak, but was speechless.
The group of people passed through the passages with leaks in all directions and came to an open platform like an altar. The platform was built on the edge of a towering cliff, and part of it had collapsed. From there, one could look into the deep distance of the night, and could faintly see something.
Glimmer of light.
There might be a reinforcements group there! Griffith's heart perked up and he hurriedly looked at the sky. According to the direction of the stars, the shimmering light was in the north-northeast, which was most likely the direction of the Watch Fort.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Griffith almost jumped off the cliff and ran for a safe way out. However, his body was completely out of control, and he was still pulled by the strange force to keep up with the team.
On the south side of the platform, which was still intact, seven tall pillars stood in the darkness, covering seven half-collapsed small doors. The moment he looked at these pillars, Griffith heard some vague and distant sound.
The voice seemed to be speaking, but also seemed to be cursing.
Professor Lordes raised his wand. Seven Goblins who were restrained by Karius immediately walked out and got into the seven small doors without saying a word. Each Goblin had a thin string wrapped around his ankle.
The dark shadow was unable to resist at all.
"Get ready for battle," the professor said to everyone present in a rare moment, "light a bonfire in the center of the altar."
Is this really an altar, offering sacrifices or something? Griffith wanted to ask questions out of curiosity, but couldn't.
The apprentice demon hunter Hank immediately took out flint and wool, chopped some dead wood nearby and lit the fire. Raven skillfully removed the arrows and scattered them into the gaps in the stone slabs next to the fire, seemingly preparing for the next battle.
Stay mobile.
"The tunnel on the left is a trap. My goblin has been killed," Karius suddenly said, "Monsters are pouring out of the tunnel."
Maggots that were thicker than buckets and looked like giant pythons emerged from the deep darkness. They wriggled their short gray-black lower limbs out of the hole, opened their sucker-like mouthparts, and exposed layers of saw-toothed tips.
With his teeth, he rushed towards the crowd.
"It's better to use flames to deal with them," Karius touched the long sword, and the blade was immediately wrapped in flames. He stabbed the sword into the mouthparts of a maggot, and the flames on the blade immediately sent a crackling sound.
There was a burning sound, and the stung maggot immediately twitched.
Hank yelled, raised his buckler and charged forward. He fought like a heavy infantryman in the army, while resisting the swarming maggots, while retreating steadily, occasionally taking out a vial containing potion from his pocket and smashing it to the ground
.A green mist rose from the place where the vial was broken, and the movement speed of all the maggots shrouded in the mist dropped significantly.
When all these maggots entered the deceleration state, other trainee witchers began to attack. Raven and Pella shot with rockets, and Hakan's giant wolf specialized in biting the maggots that were about to leave the deceleration area.
The five people spread out in an arc, covering alternately, always compressing the scope of action of the maggots. Their attacks were methodical, and the maggots that were burned by arrows burst out into masses of flesh and pus under the attack, and they were about to die.
was annihilated.
Griffith couldn't help but admire in his heart, and became very interested in the way the demon hunters fought. However, Professor Lordes beside him suddenly said impatiently:
"too slow."
Suddenly, a large group of venomous snakes emerged from the nearby passage. Their bodies were black and green, and they were equally large in size. The horns on their heads were densely raised and they surrounded them from all directions.
Hank, who was still maneuvering, suddenly swayed his hands and feet. He was attacked by a poisonous snake on his back and hurriedly ran away. As he retreated, the maggots who were about to be destroyed suddenly found a gap and swarmed up, immediately breaking through.
The demon hunters' defense knocked all the demon wolves to the ground.
Raven shot an arrow at the maggot, and the rocket shattered the monster's limbs, but the stumps still bounced on him as if they were alive. A group of tiny fangs quickly grew from the broken limbs of the maggots, heading towards
He bit Raven's arm.
"Ah!" Raven screamed when he was bitten, and the serrated mouthparts tore his leather armor bit by bit, sawing on the flesh.
"No!" Pella was horrified, waving two short knives in an attempt to drive away the approaching monster. However, the short blades were inserted into the maggot's limbs, like being inserted into cotton, and could not stop the monster's movements at all.
.On the contrary, it alarmed the poisonous snakes and maggots nearby, and they immediately swarmed towards her in dense numbers.
Griffith kicked away the maggots that rushed towards Pella, then used a dagger to cut off a piece of Raven's arm with blood and flesh, and drove away the monsters, pulling them back. The witcher's defense line flashed in the blink of an eye.
It collapsed instantly, and the entire square was filled with twisted monsters crawling and surging.
"Incompetent." Lordes glanced at the Demon Hunter Captain with disdain. The wand in his hand had already outlined a complex shape, and an extremely thick salty smell suddenly filled the air, which made people sick.
The maggots that were biting just now suddenly stopped. They let go of their caught prey and began to shake violently.
The thick and large limbs of these monsters began to wrinkle and break, like wood that had been dried out of moisture. A maggot fell to the ground in front of Griffith, rolling and shrinking, and finally turned into a
A layer of skin stuck to the ground like a carpet.
The critical situation was immediately reversed. Without stopping, Lordes unfolded a scroll, and icy freezing air roared out. The air cooled rapidly, freezing the trainee demon hunters who were attacked. However, those black
The green strange snake immediately became less aggressive and even began to flee back.
Seeing them just returning to the exit of the passage, a sickle-like wind pressure swept across the ground. The crowded group of strange snakes was cut off and smashed in the blink of an eye, and fell to the ground with a crackle.
The demon hunters broke free one after another, covering their wounds and looking at the scene in front of them in amazement.
"Use coagulant to stop the bleeding," the senior mage said coldly, "The third wave is coming."
…
Is this it? Your combat prowess is at this level and you still want to explore the ruins!?
Griffith screamed desperately in his heart, completely unable to accept this situation. The demon hunter team had just encountered a monster coming out of a passage and could still hold on, but the problem was that their attack power was insufficient and they lacked the ability to quickly eliminate the monster.
power. When the second batch of monsters appeared, the witcher team immediately fell into chaos, completely redundant for unexpected situations.
In addition, there is a more serious problem!
The defensive core of this demon hunter team is Hank, who is probably one of the weakest people. His strength is limited and his equipment is not well-equipped. He is unable to deal with giant creatures or a large number of monsters.
How can we survive if we face more and stronger monsters next?
Griffiths became more and more panicked as he thought about it. Suddenly, he grinned and laughed wildly:
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha."
While laughing, he turned around and hugged a nearby big tree, banging his head like a woodpecker.
Pella, who had just received his support, originally wanted to say a few words of thanks, but was frightened by this sudden crazy scene and immediately took two steps back from Hank.
"What's wrong?" Griffith suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Miss Demon Hunter Xi seriously with his face covered in blood, "What's the problem?"
"You are the problem." Pera couldn't help but tilt her head back and stand further away from him.
Well, I can speak again. It seems that the silence spell and control given to me by the professor have expired. But the situation is very serious. Although this team of demon hunters is well equipped, the combat effectiveness of its members is obviously insufficient. If they hunt down a
Two mutated creatures are just fine, but exploring such ruins is simply suicidal.
Professor Lordes is indeed powerful, but he is only one person. If the battle pressure continues to increase, he will definitely encounter a situation that is difficult to cope with.
Although the professor is not lovable, at least he is on my side. If he dies, I will inevitably go to Biliangpo with him.
The more Griffith thought about it, the more guilty he felt, but he did not dare to speak out to dissuade him, for fear of being hit by a more powerful imprisonment spell. His eyes moved to the edge of the cliff again, and he began to figure out what posture and angle to use when the battle situation was unfavorable.
Jump off a cliff.
There is a new wave of monsters pouring out of the passage. They are cockroach-like reptiles, but each one is bigger than a dog. The hard carapace is difficult to break, and they can persist in the face of fire, lightning and poison.
long time.
After finally repelling this wave of monsters, Griffith found that the summoned giant wolf was in a state of near disintegration. Hank's face was exhausted, and the archer Raven's arrow kettle had only
The lower third of the crossbow arrows are gone.
Lourdes still stood in the center of the crowd with a calm expression. He had released several spells with different attributes in succession, and also used scrolls and other items to assist, but there was not even the slightest breath or exhaustion on his face.
.
But Raven and the others had lost all will to fight, so they persuaded them: "Sir High Mage, Captain, let's retreat! We have lost the ability to continue fighting."
"No, we can't go!" Karius objected loudly, "The great listener will lead us!"
Lourdes was indifferent to the compliment. His eyes were fixed on the next passage, and his expression was a little nervous.
