Blood tax

Chapter 257 Hey, Are You Two Finished?I can watch it!
The heavily guarded convoy sped along the good road.

Griffith soon noticed that there was a swift figure flickering on the treetops in the distance, apparently already staring at the convoy.In front of them, there are curves and a large dense forest beside the road. The blocked vision makes people unable to see the front clearly.

If I were the enemy, I would definitely set up an ambush there.Griffith was about to issue a warning, but Elder Windu in the No. 2 car had already issued an order:

"Elanx, don't hesitate to make a move.

"Sweep that forest together."

The Sequence 6 extraordinary wizard on the front carriage waved his wand, and several other spellcasters cooperated together.After the complicated and magnificent incantation, flames soared into the sky suddenly in the forest.The steaming wall of fire even made Griffith, who was a hundred meters away, feel the suffocating heat.

Shocking flames destroyed the entire forest.In the light of the fire, the trees and figures could be seen as distorted wreckage, which were wiped out amidst the screams and roars.

The power of the extraordinary wizard is really terrifying!Griffith was overwhelmed by this extraordinary power. If there was an ambush lurking in it, there must be no one out of ten.He subconsciously glanced at Galadia in the No. 2 car, and found that she was also looking at him worriedly, so he felt relieved.

After chanting this spell, Elankers sat down a little tiredly, and cars No. 3 and No. 4 stepped forward to change positions, still protecting the No. 2 car where Galadia was in the center.

They turned a corner, and a mass of black figures rushed out from behind the flames, surrounded by many humanoid creatures in cloaks.They seemed to plan to wait until the convoy entered the corner before making a move, but the preset main force had already been engulfed by the fire wave.

Griffith was secretly startled.The swarming attackers all had mottled traces of spiritual energy ripples, each of which was a Sequence Nine.

"It's just half-elves and human pariahs ripened by potions, monsters with short-lived power, who will go crazy at any time," Windu said disdainfully, "in the face of real extraordinary power, destruction is the only meaning of these ants."

The Extraordinary Elf watched the enemy's movement in the center, not letting go of the slightest movement: "No. 5, direction 10 o'clock, distance 200, thunderstorm."

Thunder and lightning were brewing in the air, and powerful blows followed one after another. Samuel in car 5 made a move.

His spells summoned thunderbolts and silver lightning.The electric arc made a terrifying loud noise tearing through the air, dancing among the figures, burning one to ashes and bouncing to another, constantly devouring the fresh life.

Elder Windu of the No. 2 car shot immediately. Instead of attacking the nearby enemies, he summoned a storm of flames and threw it at the distant hills.Griffith didn't even see what happened, but saw an earth-shattering explosion on the hillside, blue and orange flames illuminated the sky, and a certain attack position was destroyed before it even made a move, and a large number of dust crystals and fuel exploded under the attack.

Sylph's convoy is like 5 moving forts.Under the guidance of the Transcendent in the center, the spellcasters launched attacks one after another towards suspicious targets on both sides of the road, annihilating or dispersing groups of enemies.The shooter on the roof is concealed behind the half-open guard, and uses sharp arrows to snipe at the scattered enemies who want to get close.

This is the first time Griffith has seen such a tactic.Although privately he always thought that the elves had beaten him stupid in the security battle with the trolls, but seeing the battle in front of him still gave him a refreshing feeling.

Powerful firepower, high-speed maneuvering, solid defense.If such a force could be concentrated against the flanks of the enemy lines...

"boom!"

Car No. 4 suddenly flew sideways out of the road in front of Griffith.A huge flaming spear pierced through the car body from the side, and the shattered limbs of the attacking spellcaster and shooter, the distorted car body and countless parts fragments turned into flying snowflakes in front of him, roaring past.

"2 o'clock direction, the front of light and shadow!"

Someone in the convoy shouted.

The attack by an unknown demon hunter, a transcendent, kicked off the attack. The miscellaneous soldiers who had been used just now disappeared, and it was confirmed that they were carrying continuous fireballs and light spears towards the convoy.

The convoy became a target. After discovering that Galadia was not easy to catch, some attackers changed their minds and planned to kill her as well so that others would not get it. They began to attack unscrupulously.

Windu chanted the spell quickly, and spread out an invisible barrier above the convoy.Horrific attacks followed one after another, setting off waves of ripples that could not be penetrated.However, Griffith also noticed that his face became paler and his breathing became more rapid. Obviously, this shield was supported by his mental strength, and it wouldn't last long.

"We want to hide!"

Elanx's No. 1 car was back in the lead and came under heavy attack on the avenue with good visibility.High hedges on a gentle slope in the distance obscured the figure of the assailant, but occasional flashes of light showed that there was a terrible enemy hidden there.

If it is on a battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting fiercely, the surging blood will obscure the vision of the spellcasters, disrupt their minds or the trajectory of the magic spell, and the long-range attacks of the extraordinary in other ways will also be more or less affected. weaken or interfere.

However, in such a small-scale battle of spellcasters, the side with better vision, concealment, and positioning will have an overwhelming advantage.The rushing escort convoy had no time to occupy the position, and a hasty counterattack was useless.

"Rush into that river valley and block the view! Otherwise we'll all die here!"

Seeing that nothing could be done, Samuel hurriedly pointed to a fork in the road, took the lead and rushed down the slope, and rushed into the low-lying valley.

"No, the situation there is unknown!" Elanx stopped loudly.

Without waiting for the leader Windu to give an order, the second flaming spear hit the right rear of the Elanx No. [-] vehicle. The solid car body fender was completely twisted but not penetrated.The spear of flame bounced off the sunken baffle, and hit Elankes in the compartment who stood up to cast a spell at an incredible angle.

I don't know what happened, or I don't know what dangerous spell Elanx, the extraordinary man, is preparing. The compartment of car No. 1 suddenly burst into flames, and the extraordinary man's body was engulfed by the flames in a blink of an eye.

"boom--!"

Car No. 1 exploded violently and became a large bright orange fireball.An astonishing air wave swept over, knocking Griffith and his horse to the ground. When he fell, he saw mushroom-shaped clouds of smoke rising from the corner of his eye. The roof and roof of No. 1 car The half of the ranger on board flew into the sky together, and then fell heavily.

……

The convoy with only three carriages left rushed into the river valley where the road forked, and ran desperately on the narrow river bank path.Griffith followed them with the only horse that could move.

The situation was dire and the route was an unplanned route.The only good news is that due to his vision, the extraordinary demon hunter who has achieved two results today can no longer attack.

Silver snakes streaked across the sky, followed by rolling thunder, and the summer rainstorm had arrived.The sudden heavy rain flooded the road, and even the wheels were submerged for a small part.

The convoy began to slow down and move forward cautiously.

"This heavy rain is a bit weird." Windu whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Samuel's No. 5 car, which was leading the way, suddenly twisted and rushed out towards the side of the road, and rushed into the rapids of the river with the elves on the car.

Unknown spells were mixed with the thunder and lightning, and several huge elemental creatures condensed on the water-logged road.They have no legs, and their upper limbs are constantly shifting between hands and whips.Each head is fixed with a water-like shackle.

water element.

As soon as the elemental creatures appeared, they roared and charged at the remaining elves, shooting sharp ice spears like raindrops.

"The assassins of the Wendine family," Elder Windu glanced back, "they never lag behind, let's go, don't tangle with them by the water."

The elves of the No. 3 car immediately rushed up to fight, covering the escape of the No. 2 car.But they couldn't catch these enemies, and the water elementals moved through the rain and standing water as fast as lightning.

The elf guard driving the No. 2 car is also a strong player in Sequence 7. He galloped past without stopping, leaving the battle and fighting behind him.

The road stretched against the cliff, and gradually rushed out of the valley to a flat land.There is no White Stone Avenue in this area, and the magnificent outline of Canaan is also isolated from the field of vision.

Suddenly, two severed horse legs flew up in the rain, and the carriage suddenly lost control and rolled over to the side.

Griffith hurried to the overturned carriage, only to see that the driver had fallen limply in the muddy water.This Sequence 7 knight had his neck cut off at some point, and his body was already covered with blood.

In the ankle-deep water, the elusive assassin lurks.He walked through the puddles and raindrops, his figure only a vague outline.The ripples of his psionic energy merged with the rain, everywhere, yet elusive.

"It turned out to be His Excellency 'Liquid' Vieri," Windu said, protecting Galadia by his side, "A strong man like you, who is about to be promoted to Sequence 5, also wants to join in the fight for the successor of Villanoy himself? ?”

"Of course, why not? Anyway, there are so many strong people who want to take action, and I don't have to rely on me alone."

The voice of the invisible assassin came from all directions, as if he had merged with the heavy rain: "If Elder Windu is willing to leave peacefully and hand over the little thing to me, I can take out a Sequence 6 Extraordinary characteristic as a compensation, and signed a contract to provide full assistance for your promotion to Sequence 5 ceremony,
"The remnants of Villanoy's forces have been scattered. With our support, Your Excellency can find an excellent position, such as the University of the Nebula Temple. How about this?"

Elder Windu ignored him, but kept chanting the mantra silently.The wind became more and more violent, and finally formed a violent cyclone that reached the sky.His majestic voice echoed between heaven and earth:
"At this level, do you want to force me back? This heavy rain is your domain, and it is the cover of your hidden body. How can I not see it?"

Windu's all-out blow dispelled the cloud.The storm also stopped instantly.However, under this blow, his face also became depressed, obviously consuming a lot of energy.He took a breath and said to Griffith:

"Human, you go to fight him, I will protect Miss Galadia and retreat."

Galadia panicked: "No, Griffith can't go, Elder Windu."

"No, I'll go, the elder has exhausted his strength, and we need his assistance in the next breakout," Griffith raised his sword towards Galadia, "Goodbye Yalan."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Galadia ran to his side, and Griffith also hurriedly dismounted.Needless to say, the two embraced tightly under Elder Windu's astonished eyes.

"Can you advance to Sequence Seven?" Galadia asked worriedly.

"I haven't prepared the materials, but if we fight hard, maybe it's okay." Griffith smiled and shook his head.

In the ruins of Belomon, everyone slaughtered a three-headed dragon and collected some dragon blood.But this kind of monster that lived in the corrupted ruins all year round might have been seriously mutated, and none of the Shutorals dared to use its blood to prepare potions for promotion.

Miss Elf took out a small crystal bottle and stuffed it into his hand: "This is a high-level power-enhancing potion. Although it is not as precious and powerful as the promotion potion, it can also permanently increase some power attributes. It will have an impact on you." A threshold for the sequence would help."

Griffith immediately unscrewed the cork and drank it in one gulp.He immediately felt the scorching fire rushing in his body, almost burning up: "Then I won't be polite."

"It was originally planned to be a birthday present for you," Galadia stroked his cheek, "Since you drank it, there's nothing I can do about it, I can only prepare a better one for you~"

"Can I get another gift?"

"Well, it's infinitely more precious than this," Miss Elf looked into his eyes reluctantly, "If you miss it, you will definitely regret it forever."

"I'm sure I won't miss it," Griffith stared into her eyes, "whatever the cost, I..."

Galadia covered his mouth lightly, tiptoed, and sent herself to Griffith's lips.

"Ahem!" A voice in the puddle shouted dissatisfiedly, "Hey, are you two finished? I can watch! Are you going to keep talking like this, or have another deep kiss? Right? Time doesn’t stand still!”
