Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 27 An unexpected encounter
"I've really lost a lot this time. I even used up several bottles of elemental potions in a row!"

"I'm even more unlucky. I got hit by a spear out of nowhere!"

"What's more important is that we got nothing!"

The sound of conversation could be heard faintly.

Porterning and others looked a little disappointed because their luck was not very good this time. Not only did they get nothing, but they also lost a lot of capital.

Killing the murlocs is not an easy task.

They also didn't have anything like the Mirage Orb in Celine's hand to help them, so they couldn't spare any manpower to hold back the Murloc Warlock leader.

"There's someone ahead!"

Suddenly, a companion's reminder brought Portning back to his senses.

The countryside was desolate and lonely, and the meeting place was a small valley formed by some hillocks, which meant that the two teams only discovered each other when they were very close.

Portning took a look and felt relieved: "They are just a few newcomers who were promoted last year. I know them. They are not a threat."

"Promoted just last year?"

An old apprentice said meaningfully.

Being younger means being weak.

Being weak means being vulnerable.

Although there may be exceptions, the probability is very small.

If something goes wrong, they are confident that they can escape.

Porterning's eyes lit up slightly, and he instantly understood what his companion meant.

“We were unlucky this time, but they may not be unlucky!
If you happen to run into a small tribe that you can deal with...

There should be some gains in hand!"

For a mediocre apprentice to be promoted, more resources are needed and the financial gap is even greater.

But unfortunately, the ability to make money is limited.

He's been very short of money lately.

He immediately gave a wink to his companions, and they all tacitly urged the undead warhorses to charge forward faster.

……

"somebody is coming!"

Roy's increasingly powerful mental power was sensed.

He noticed some movement on the small slope on the other side of the fork in the road, looked up, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Portning?" The others were also surprised when they heard the reminder. "And those few, they are all veteran apprentices who have been here for several years..."

When they suddenly bumped into each other in this desolate mountain area, everyone had a premonition that something was wrong.

When they were low-level apprentices, they had already heard vaguely about the dangers in the wild.

It's not just monsters.

Humans who are also apprentices in the tower are often a source of danger.

"All of you, get off your horses.

Throw out all the backpacks and bags."

The old apprentices looked at them with sinister smiles, as if they were lambs to be slaughtered.

Renien and the others were suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Roy also frowned.

Although the running speed of the strengthened body is not slow, if you get off the horse, it is almost equivalent to handing over your life and property and waiting to be slaughtered.

He silently reached into his pocket, pretending to untie the belt, but actually reaching for the opening.

Unexpectedly, behind Portning, several of his companions suddenly took out crossbows and shot several arrows in succession.

They acted as soon as they said they would, without any hesitation at all.

Even the words that seemed like robbery just now were just to confuse people.

As everyone was astonished, Roy's hair suddenly grew rapidly behind him and turned into several wildly dancing black pythons, blocking the arrows.

This transformation of the witch body has begun to bear fruit. Each strand of hair is like a tentacle. Although it cannot be airtight, it is enough to protect against most projectiles when waved around.

As long as they do not contain any witchcraft energy and spell effects. Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.

Roy was quick-witted and threw out a bottle of Orchard's Misfortune in a test tube.

Porterning and others quickly dodged and found that the liquid inside was scattered on the ground, making a sizzling sound. All of their faces changed slightly.

Very corrosive!
"You dare to resist...

Kill this guy first!"

Several people looked at Roy and realized that it was the result of some kind of witch body transformation.

Unlike ordinary physical enhancement, this type of transformation often comes with all kinds of incredible special abilities.

Even for their team of old apprentices who have all been strengthened, it still poses a certain threat.

But at this moment, they all smelled an aroma like that of apple wine.

A slight strange feeling came over me, followed by a kind of inexplicable sense of relief.

The surrounding wilderness seemed to be changing, the night sky was filled with colorful light, and stars were blinking one after another.

Roy and the others on the opposite side seemed to have turned into human-shaped snakes with colorful heads.

This strange scene made them dazed, with rationality and hallucinations intertwined and their consciousness struggling.

They were not awakened until they heard the rattling of chains.

Roy threw a black shadow over, pouncing like a snake.

His target was Porterning, with whom he had a previous feud. Among these old apprentices, he only knew this man and didn't know the others.

Potterning suddenly came to his senses, drew his sword and chopped at the chain, but all he heard was the sound of metal clashing.

The iron chain was like a snake, and the figure rolled around and wrapped around it with tremendous force.

"Help!"

Porterning's neck was strangled and he felt he couldn't breathe, so he pulled hard to try to untie it.

But the chain was getting tighter and tighter, even like a real giant python. As soon as it sensed that his strength was slackening, it would shrink again suddenly.

This forced Porterning to blush and use all his strength to resist the strangling force.

He was extremely shocked, as if a huge wave was rising.

How can this be?

Isn't Roy a seventh-year apprentice at the same level as Trides?

Just got promoted last year...

How could it be witchcraft, and use it so skillfully!
The people around were also horrified, but after they realized what was happening, instead of helping, they dispersed.

"Witch...witchcraft!"

"Don't be too strong, don't act recklessly!"

No matter how slow Renien and the others reacted, they finally came to their senses at this time and took out their crossbows and fired randomly.

Portning gathered his strength again, and pulled violently with a force comparable to that of an intermediate knight. As a result, a crossbow arrow shot out and pierced his right arm, causing his eyes to widen immediately.

The strength that was finally gathered was deflated like a punctured ball.

I can hardly breathe...

Portning became increasingly anxious.

The chain perfectly simulates the habit of snakes strangling their prey, and the force is continuous and stable.

He felt pain just now, and when he relaxed a little, his carotid artery was tightened even more, and his brain began to lack oxygen.

The weak magic power granted by the enhanced transformation can temporarily replace blood oxygen, allowing him to hold on a little longer, but it is still consumed quickly.

Porterning's face showed even more fear, and he struggled and pulled harder, but to no avail.

Because his exertion of strength was just a self-perception. In fact, as his physical strength was depleted, his resistance became weaker and weaker.

Roy rode forward and stabbed his chest with the sword in his hand.

Blood gushed out, Porterning fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and died with a thud.

When the others saw this, they scattered without hesitation and ran away in a flash.
