Chapter 684: The Land of the Dead (III)
In fact, they are in big trouble.
When the swarm of black and oppressive insects flew in, everyone finally discovered their true bodies -- it was an innumerable number of flies the size of the palm of a hand!! There was an eerie glow in their compound eyes. Even squirming tentacles could be seen under the huge black abdomen. The flapping wings make a buzzing sound, and just listening to it makes people feel dizzy.
Were those flies that big before?
Looking at the flies in front of them, everyone couldn't help but tremble, even Jenny pursed the corners of her lips. No matter who you are, you will never have a good impression of it when you see so many enlarged versions of ugly insects that are clearly visible even the fluff on their legs. Not to mention the disgusting appearance of the flies' shaky breath and drool, as if they had already treated Jenny and her party as a delicious delicacy, and were eager to lay eggs on their rotting corpses for a feast.
Without hesitation, everyone immediately took action. The Naga priestess raised her scepter and shouted, and immediately after her call, a blue circular barrier emerged, enveloping the crowd. And the dwarf mage also gave up the idea of bombarding those mutated creatures on the ground for the time being, and instead turned his head to raise the staff in his hand and waved it forward. Then I saw a green cone-shaped beam of light whizz and disperse, shooting towards the swarm of insects in front of me. The huge insects that were illuminated by the green beams immediately crumbled, turning into a pile of dust and disappearing into the air. The power of the Dissociation Technique was on full display at this moment, opening a huge gap for the swarm, but unfortunately, the gap became much smaller in the blink of an eye. Layers of giant flies quickly filled the hole. Continuing to move forward, as if he didn't care about the loss just now, he didn't care at all -- okay. They really don't care.
Even Jenny took action at this moment, she raised her right hand. Then the bowstring is drawn. Soon, I saw that the patterns on the surface of the silver-white longbow quickly began to circulate, turning into an incomparably beautiful star map. Dots of starlight shone one one at a time, and then three pure white arrows of light appeared between Jenny's fingers. As she let go of her bowstring and flew towards the swarm. The arrows that flew into the swarm exploded like fireworks, and for a moment they emitted a blinding light comparable to a flashbang. The dense swarm of insects disappeared completely in this dazzling light as if they were small black dots painted with white paint. And when everyone opened their eyes again from the bright light, the swarm that had obscured the sky had almost disappeared.
"Well done!"
Seeing this, the barbarian warrior let out a sigh of relief, and then gave Jenny a thumbs up. Even the dwarf mage nodded at Jenny. Obviously, this powerful blow at least eliminated their current hidden danger. But for these besieged adventurers, the trouble is far from over.
The light cleared, and the corpses of the mutated creatures could be seen everywhere on the ground. But this did not make them disappear completely, if it was an ordinary beast, I am afraid that after such heavy casualties, it would have already slipped away with its tail between its legs. However, how do you look at the following things, and how they have nothing to do with "ordinary". They still frantically attack their targets, though most of the time their attacks are in vain. But that didn't stop the mutated creatures, and the corpses that were killed didn't even have any residue to hinder them. Because they have been eaten as food for other mutated creatures.
A reindeer opened its mouth and tore off the carcass of a mutated boar as hard as a leaf on a branch. Then he chewed and swallowed the piece of meat into his stomach along with the bones in one gulp. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the body of this already terrifying mutant monster began to tremble involuntarily, and only after a while, I saw a series of small flames suddenly erupt on its body, and then the fur on the surface began to melt rapidly. It turned into a stinking, disgusting viscous liquid that enveloped the deer entirely. In the blink of an eye, the deer was completely solidified and turned into a strange statue.
But that's just the beginning.
Only a few seconds passed. The "sculpture" formed by the condensation of the deer suddenly began to shake violently. The skin on the back suddenly cracked, and a new reindeer emerged from it like a chrysalis turned into a butterfly. At this moment, its form had changed again -- its small head had become the size of a crocodile, and the horns on the top of its head had become flimpy tentacles. Even its limbs have changed shape. Turned into flat minions like geckos. Add to that the scorpion-like tail behind it, and you're afraid you wouldn't have realized that this monster was a herbivore before.
"What the hell is this?"
Seeing this scene, not only the barbarian warriors screamed, but even the Naga priests and dwarf mages were dumbfounded. As the existence of strong people in their respective fields, they can't be regarded as well-informed and well-informed. However, the ability to mutate and evolve again after eating their own kind is still unheard of for them......... Then again, is this thing an undead?
"I don't have the spell to turn wood into iron anymore!!"
And at this moment, Alfen's slightly crying voice sounded, as if to verify her words, and one of the four large trees that was the support point suddenly "clicked" and crooked.
"Quack............ Quack............!! ”
As the saying goes, blessings and disasters do not go alone. Soon, there was another ominous shout from the sky. When the people looked up, they saw a dark cloud again -- well, at least this time they knew what it was. In a way, crows are a better choice than flies.
But in fact it is not much better.
"We have to figure out a way!! If this continues, we will not be able to support it for too long!! ”
The dwarf mage waved the staff in his hand, sweating profusely. His construct is still slaughtering all sides below. However, this is of no avail. Because the number of these mutated creatures far exceeds the limit of what the constructor can handle, not to mention that as a constructor, it also has its own energy limitations, and once the energy is used up, then it can become a tattered. At this moment, the constructs even gave up the barbecue that had burned a large piece of barbecue, and instead began to defend the big tree beneath them with two energy lightsabers -- after all, this was the foundation of their current foothold.
"Windranger-sama............"
At this time, Orphin also turned her head to look at Jenny, in her heart, I am afraid that only Jenny can save herself. Of course, Orphin himself knew that this was probably just a dream, after all, there were so many monsters here that it seemed like it was endless. Even if it's Windranger-sama, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do.
However, what Orphen didn't expect was that Jenny in front of her was not as nervous as she imagined, on the contrary, she even put her hands together and glanced into the distance, and then sighed and spoke.
"I can't beat it, so let's get ready to run."
Run? How to run?
Hearing Jenny's words, the other three suddenly felt a strange sense of absurdity. At the moment, they have very little power left, although as spellcasters, it is not impossible to cast a teleportation spell and run away. But in the current situation that this forest is full of undead creatures, even if you cast a teleportation spell, you may only waste your strength, and it is more likely that you will be directly sent to your door as fast food.
But before they could speak, they saw Jenny snap her fingers lightly, and the next moment the originally empty void around her suddenly began a series of fluctuations, and immediately after, the astral unicorn emerged from it.
What is it?!
Seeing this, everyone was already stunned, and they felt that they were really eye-opening today, not only seeing undead creatures that did not look like undead creatures at all, but also unicorns that did not look like unicorns at all......... Then again, is this really a unicorn?
However, Jenny was in no mood to answer their questions, she just gestured to the astral unicorn. Soon the astral unicorn lowered its head, tossed its hooves on the branches a few times, and then raised its head and hissed. Then a blue door of light opened in front of them, revealing the darkness and the shining stars within.
"It's the Astral Plane!!"
Luckily, the two casters present were not rookies, and they could almost immediately see where the portal was attached. Jenny just nodded to them, then turned around and walked into the stargate with Orphin, who was standing nearby. Seeing this scene, the other three just glanced at each other, and rushed in without the slightest hesitation -- there were more and more mutated creatures below, and the crows in the air were getting closer and closer. Although the astral plane is definitely not a good place to rest, it is a good enough choice compared to being a monster.
The Naga priest was the first to enter the Star Gate, followed by the barbarian warrior who was holding the dwarf mage, and before entering the Star Gate, the dwarf mage did not forget to hold his staff and gesture for a moment, and then saw that the structure that had been showing its might below immediately shrank and disappeared. And after everyone entered the stargate, the astral unicorn circled around the portal formed by the light of the stars, and then turned into a little dust and disappeared into the air again.
And at this moment, the towering ancient tree that was originally used as a refuge for everyone finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground with a wail. (To be continued.) )
