Chapter 4: Fierce Battles
The wind snake took a bite into the air.
It was almost on the verge of success, if it hadn't been for Rhodes suddenly appearing from behind.
"Mr. Rhodes?"
Lijie, who escaped death, raised her head, and was surprised to find that Rod was standing behind her, and she was leaning on the other party's arms. She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak, so she sat down instead.
"Lijie!"
Carter was also relieved to see Lijie escape, but soon, his heart became tense again. Because at this moment, the wind snake that fluttered in the air had already turned its head, spread its wings, and raised its head high, intending to attack again. Damn it! He grabbed his swords and ran towards the two of them, hoping to be in timeβββ but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he couldn't catch up.
Looking at the wind snake again, the girl couldn't help but hold her breath, she wanted to do something, but she didn't know what she should do. As a spirit master, she doesn't need to use weapons, and she doesn't carry weapons with her. So, what now?
"Leave it to me."
Just when Lijie was panicking, Rod's voice came from her ears, and then, the girl saw Rod's half a step forward and block in front of her.
Could it be that he was going to deal with this wind snake with his bare hands?
Just as Lijie was confused, she saw Rhodes stretch out his right hand. At this moment, Lijie noticed that on the back of Rod's right hand, a complex, gorgeous magic circle was shining with bright and clear magical brilliance, and lines spread out from it, extending to each finger, and a translucent, card-like thing gradually emerged from the center of Rod's palm.
Then, Rod held it with a backhand.
White, dazzling brilliance suddenly emerged.
The invisible magic broke the seal, turning into a tangible wave of air that spread out in all directions, and the wind serpent that bore the brunt of it screamed and flapped its wings, trying to maintain its balance under the onslaught of the raging air current. But before it could make any further movements, a dazzling light burst out from the wave of qi and slashed heavily at the wind snake's body, knocking it away completely.
"Hoo ............"
Rod let out a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the dazzling brilliance had dissipated, and in its place, an incomparably exquisite, transparent white long sword appeared in his right hand. He waved the Stardust Sword in his hand, and bits of light dust slowly scattered down from the sword, constructing a mesmerizing scene for a while.
He didn't notice at all, and the others were completely stunned at the moment. Lijie sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the man standing in front of him in disbelief, and Carter also slowed down, looking at Rhodes with surprise and surprise in his eyes, although he had long noticed that the other party was not an ordinary person, but he never thought that he would be so "unusual".
Although she was still sitting on the ground, Li Jie still couldn't help but admire the white and flawless long sword, the slender sword body was engraved with simple patterns, exuding a faint brilliance, and even around it, the bits of light and dust that were clearly visible to the naked eye were as beautiful as illusions, and the closed wings on the hilt of the sword were even more delicate and abnormal, and even pieces of feathers were clearly visible. Although women have never been very interested in weapons, this long sword has gone far beyond the category of weapons, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can even be said to be a work of art.
Lijie was just appreciating, but Carter's eyes were a little different at the moment.
As an experienced adventurer, Carter can swear to God that he has never seen such a strange thing, in fact, Carter was stunned when Rhodes summoned the weapon, although he had also seen some mages summon, but most of them used crystal-like existences, and it was not uncommon for him to chant some strange spells and then summon a few ugly monsters. But as for summoning weapons? He really hadn't seen anything like it before.
Although it is not clear what Rhodes is holding in his hand, Carter knows very well that this kind of magic weapon is absolutely unusable to ordinary people, and those who can be qualified to use this weapon must be noble and special people. And now seeing the lifelike wings on the hilt, Carter couldn't help frowning. Of course, he knew very well that on this continent, angels were a very noble race, most of them were of prominent status, or they were the backbone of some important group. It's like Lydia, the lord of the Duchy of Moon, who came to the throne three years ago. Parfield. Mila. Franrika is an angel. Although the young man's true identity was unclear at the moment, it was certain with this sword that he must have some connection with that noble race. β¦,
These thoughts only flashed through Carter's mind, and by this time he had already come to the two of them.
"It's okay."
"I, I'm fine."
Lijie's little face was still a little pale, this can't blame her for being timid, after all, what happened just now, if it wasn't for Rod dragging her from behind, the girl would have died. The fear of barely escaping from the scythe of death is definitely not something that ordinary people can experience.
After making sure that Lijie was not injured, Carter immediately moved his gaze to Rhodes next to him.
"Mr. Rhodes, you're alright."
Rhodes shook his head, signaling that he was fine, although the left side of his body was still in some pain during the movement, but it didn't have much impact on the fight. On the contrary, he cared more about one thing than his own body.
"What are you going to do?"
There are more and more wind snakes around, and although the floating ships are moving at full speed, they still can't get rid of most of the wind snakes. Now, instead of getting better, their situation is getting worse.
"We're going to break out of their territory, and until then, we'll just have to hold on."
If it was on land, Carter might have had another way, and now that he was in the air, he had no good way to solve the problem.
But as soon as Carter spoke, he saw the young man in front of him frowning.
"It's too late, Mr. Carter."
"Oh?"
"The Wind Snake has an absolute advantage in the Plains, and even if you speed up, we won't be able to get out before the Float disintegrates."
"Really?"
Carter wasn't stupid and made this decision because he wasn't familiar with the place himself. As soon as he heard Rhodes talk about it at this moment, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Immediately down."
Rod gave an answer almost without hesitation, and then he reached out and pointed to the side.
"And then we rushed inside."
Carter looked in the direction of Rhodes' finger, and then, his eyes widened in surprise.
"You mean you want us to rush into the Twilight Forest?"
"It's the only way we want to get rid of the wind snake, and it's ........."
Saying this, Rod glanced around.
"We're running out of time."
The situation is indeed getting worse.
Wind snakes are not only a threat to their fangs, but also their corrosive venom, and their small stature makes them instantly change their aim if a frontal attack fails. At the moment, there were already many wind snakes that broke the glass and got into the cabin from below, but in the face of such a situation, everyone had no way to resist it. Although the small space in the cabin limits the flexibility of the wind snakes, they are not less threatening. Because of this, the cabin is already a mess at this moment, and it can be seen from the billowing smoke coming out of several gaps that the current situation is quite bad!
Carter didn't hesitate any longer and immediately turned away. And Rhodes held the star mark in his hand, blocking the gap in front of him.
"Shhhhh
A wind snake flew from the right, opened its mouth wide and launched an attack on Rod, but at the moment when it rushed over, Rod's already moved diagonally to the left, and at the same time, the white long sword in his hand suddenly rose up, and hit the chin of the wind snake impartially, picking it up and blocking the venom that the other party squirted out in a hurry. Then Rod quickly turned around, and the silver white in his hand carried a curtain of light in the air, and accurately inserted into the wings of another wind snake that tried to sneak up from behind, and made up for it while it lost its balance, completely ending the life of the poor snake.
But the attack of the wind snakes did not stop because of this, the smell of blood unmistakably stimulated them, just when Rod pulled the long sword in his hand from the wind snake that had turned into a corpse, dozens of wind snakes suddenly pounced on him, they were layered, from a distance it looked like a green cloud, and it seemed to be the open mouth of some unknown monster, as long as it was an instant, it could swallow the prey in front of him completely.
"Mr. Rhodes!"
After dispelling the toxin for the other mercenary, Lijie turned around, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but subconsciously cry out.
Acid sprayed out, rushing towards Rhodes like a torrential rain, if he was sprayed by this acid rain, Rhodes would probably lose half his life if he didn't die.
But at this moment, Rod suddenly pulled back.
The rancid acid passed by him, dripping onto the deck, emitting a little green smoke and corroding small holes, but almost at the same time, the wind snakes had already rushed in front of Rod, and the next moment, they were about to completely tear apart the dangerous and abominable existence in front of them.
If it was an ordinary person, he would have already been frightened and his legs would have weakened when he saw this scene in front of him, but Rhodes was very calm, facing this group of monsters who pounced in front of him and planned to completely tear himself apart, the only thing he did was to raise his sword in his right hand and then stab forward.
Shattering Blade, activated.
The white blades of light burst out in the group of wind snakes, one turned into two, two into four, and several sharp blades shot forward so quickly, piercing one wind snake after another, and the powerful air flow that swept up pulled those who were lucky enough not to be hit like an invisible big hand, ruthlessly tearing apart their bodies. Almost instantly, the green mist was completely torn apart by the dazzling light, leaving only pieces of flesh and blood.
Everyone held their breath for a moment.
