Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 354 Escaping Danger

It was nearly twice as fast as other similar creatures, like four white lightning bolts, two of which rushed straight at the face and two of which attacked the lower body!

Its mouth was wide open, revealing a menacing array of sharp teeth!

In the critical moment, his instincts, honed through years of life-or-death struggles, saved him.

Almost instinctively, his body leaned back sharply, and at the same time, he pointed his left hand together, gathering the little star power he had just recovered, and hastily unleashed a [Starlight Pierce] at the bone centipede attacking from the left front!

laugh!

The crimson-silver starlight pierced through the head of the bone centipede, pinning it in mid-air and causing it to explode into a cloud of slime.

But the other three are already within reach!

With his right hand, Luo Lin slashed horizontally with his short blade, severing a bone centipede that was biting at his thigh. At the same time, he twisted his body to avoid another centipede that was attacking his chest. But the last one bit hard into his left arm!

The protective star power was at its weakest point due to the mental impact just now, and the bone centipede's sharp teeth with a metallic sheen actually managed to penetrate the star power barrier and pierce into the flesh!

A cold, numbing stinging pain came over me!

Luo Lin grunted, his right hand swung the short blade, and with a flash of light, he severed the jaws of the bone centipede that was biting his left arm!

The severed mouthparts remained firmly clamped into the flesh, and the dark green paralyzing toxin spread rapidly along the wound.

A sudden wave of numbness and weakness washed over my left arm.

At this moment, more ordinary bone centipedes surrounded them again, and the three thick ones continued to attack fearlessly.

Even worse, a loud "boom" came from the entrance of the crack behind!

A huge rock blocking the crack was pushed aside by brute force, and a dark golden metal hand gripped the edge of the crack.

Annihilation type, they've caught up!

Besieged on all sides, poisoned by paralyzing toxins, and with little star power remaining.

A truly desperate situation!

A flash of madness suddenly appeared in Rolin's eyes.

I can't die here!

The numbness in his left arm was spreading upwards. Without hesitation, he mobilized the power of [Star Slayer] in his spiritual sea. The phantom of the star, which was mainly for killing and had unparalleled sharpness, trembled slightly. An even more chilling and pure killing aura rushed towards his numb left arm along with the star power!

Chi Chi!

The fragments of the centipede's mouthparts, which had been bitten into the flesh at the wound on the left arm, were instantly pulverized into powder under the impact of this sharp stellar force. The dark green toxins that had seeped in were also forcibly expelled and annihilated by this destructive power!

The excruciating pain replaced the numbness, and my left arm temporarily regained sensation, but the skin and flesh at the wound were torn open and bleeding profusely.

Ignoring his wounds, Luo Lin pushed off with his feet, no longer rushing deeper into the cave, but instead turning and rushing towards a rock wall on the side!

There, there is an exceptionally thick, luminous energy crystal pillar that hangs from the cave ceiling to the ground!

Under the watchful eyes of the bone centipede and the annihilation-type creature that had just probed halfway into his body, Roland rushed to the crystal pillar, switched the short blade in his right hand to his left, and brought his five fingers together with his right hand. He frantically condensed crimson-silver star power and slammed his palm hard against the base of the crystal pillar!

The power of [Quiet Dust Star] surged in simultaneously, resonating!

This energy crystal pillar has been growing here for countless years, containing a considerable amount of stable energy, which is completely different from the chaotic energy in the canyon.

Under the deliberate guidance of Luo Lin's resonance with the [Quiet Dust Star], the stable energy structure inside the crystal pillar was instantly disrupted and began to tremble violently!

Buzz!

The crystal pillar emitted a low hum, and the surface light flickered rapidly and became unstable.

Behind him, an annihilation-type weapon had already squeezed in most of its body, dark golden energy gathering in its arm, aiming at Rolin.

Without even looking, Luo Lin suddenly pulled back his right hand that was striking the crystal pillar, sending up a shower of shattered crystal fragments, while simultaneously retreating rapidly backward!

The moment he stepped back, the thick energy crystal pillar exploded violently under the combined effects of internal energy disorder and the external influence of the [Quiet Dust Star]!

It wasn't a shockwave like a metal explosion, but countless out-of-control, blinding beams of energy, like caged beasts released from their cages, spraying wildly in all directions indiscriminately!

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!

Dense beams of energy instantly filled most of the cave!

The first to be hit were the swarm of bone centipedes surrounding the crystal pillar!

The pale, bony body was like paper in the face of the violent energy beams, instantly pierced, torn apart, and vaporized!

The viscous bodily fluid evaporated under high temperature, emitting a strange hissing sound, and the air was filled with a burnt smell and an even stronger stench of decay.

The sturdy bone centipedes were also struck by several beams of light, charred holes appearing on their tough bodies as they hissed and rolled away to escape.

The Annihilator that had just squeezed into the cave was also hit head-on by several thick beams of light!

Its energy shield lit up in response, blocking the beam of light, but the shield flickered violently, and its massive body was also shaken backward by the impact, its movements momentarily halted.

Chaos ensued; the sudden burst of energy created brief periods of chaos and gaps.

This is exactly what Rowling wanted!

He had already calculated his escape route. The moment the crystal pillar shattered, he took advantage of the impact of the explosion and the cover of light and shadow, like a fish swimming along the rock wall, narrowly avoiding the blocked Annihilator and rushing towards the entrance of the crack!

Behind me came the furious roar of the annihilation type, the buzzing of energy weapons recharging, and the chaotic hissing of the bone centipede swarm.

Ignoring everything else, Luo Lin channeled all his remaining star power into his legs, maximizing the power of the [Star Stream Aquatic Field] and unleashing his speed to the limit as he plunged headfirst into the narrow crevice!

The crevice was still dark and rugged, but it was safer here for the time being than behind them.

He dared not linger, enduring the throbbing pain from his left arm wound and the weakness from blood loss, and desperately pushed forward in the darkness.

Behind them, the sound of energy weapons blasting against the rock walls and even more violent vibrations came from the direction of the cave. Clearly, the annihilation-type weapon was venting its anger or trying to widen the passage to catch up.

We can't let it catch up easily.

As he ran, Rolin reached into his dimensional pouch at his waist and pulled out the last two powerful light bombs that Oleg had given him.

He pulled the safety pin, threw it behind him without even looking!

A blinding white light burst forth in the narrow crack, completely dispelling the darkness, but also severely interfering with energy perception and vision.

The footsteps and energy fluctuations coming from behind noticeably slowed down and became chaotic.

Luo Lin seized the opportunity and pressed forward relentlessly.

The crack is not straight; it twists and turns, and in some places you have to turn sideways or even crawl to get through.

I don't know how long I groped my way forward in the darkness, but the sounds of pursuit behind me gradually became indistinct as they were blocked out by the winding rock formations.

Ahead, a faint light finally appeared again, not the cold light of energy crystals, but more like—natural moonlight?

There was also a faint sound of wind.

exit!

Luo Lin's spirits lifted, and he sped up.

After squeezing through the last, extremely narrow gap, the view suddenly opened up before me.

The cool moonlight shone down, carrying with it the biting wind unique to Howling Canyon, mixed with energy particles, and brushed against my face.

He burst out of the cave crevice and returned to the canyon.

But this is no longer the area where it crashed.

Before us lies an even narrower branch of a fissure canyon, with almost vertical cliffs on both sides and a bottomless depth.

The moonlight could only illuminate a sliver of sky overhead, below which churned with a bottomless, grayish-white mist of energy.

Beneath our feet is a naturally formed rock walkway, barely wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side, winding its way into the unknown depths of darkness.

The walkway was covered with a thick layer of dust and broken rocks, accumulated over countless years, showing no trace of any biological activity.

We're safe for now.

Luo Lin leaned against the cold rock wall, slowly slid down to the ground, and gasped for breath.

The wound on his left arm was still bleeding. Although the numbness had been forcibly dispelled by the [Star Slaughter] star power, the wound was quite deep, and he had lost a considerable amount of blood.

His star power was nearly exhausted, and his mental strength was also exhausted from the repeated battles and the forced expulsion of poison.

He retrieved the last roll of hemostatic bandage and half a bottle of general disinfectant from his dimensional bag, and painstakingly treated the wound on his left arm with his teeth and right hand.

The disinfectant irritated his wound, causing a burning pain that instantly broke out in a cold sweat, but he just gritted his teeth and remained silent.

After bandaging the wound, he took out the last two pieces of high-energy compressed dry rations, stuffed them into his mouth, and mechanically chewed and swallowed them.

The rough texture of dry rations has become a delicious way to replenish energy.

While recovering, he vigilantly sensed his surroundings.

The canyon branch was eerily quiet, with only the ceaseless wind howling and echoing through the narrow passages.

The energy turbulence seemed calmer than the main canyon, but it was still fraught with danger.

Behind them, deep within the rift, there was no sign of pursuit for the time being.

Those two annihilation-type aircraft may be temporarily trapped by the swarm of bone centipedes and the winding cracks, or they may be searching for other paths.

We must hurry up and recover, then leave this place.

This walkway leads somewhere unknown, but it's better than staying put and waiting to die.

Luo Lin closed his eyes and focused all his energy on using [Quiet Dust Star] to nourish and restore his health.

In the sea of ​​spirit, the Morning Star provides the most basic illumination and guidance, while the Quiet Star emits a warm and steady silver glow, soothing physical wounds and mental fatigue, and new star power slowly grows.

【Lu Xing】 remained silent for the time being, his fierce killing aura contained within, leaving only a faint sense of sharpness lingering around him.

Time passed little by little.

The pain from the wound on my left arm gradually lessened under the gentle care of Xingli, and the dizziness caused by blood loss also slowly subsided.

My star power has recovered to about half. Although it is still far from its peak, I at least have the basic ability to move and protect myself.

He slowly opened his eyes, still tired, but with a touch more serenity.

I stood up and stretched my stiff body. My left arm still felt a slight pulling pain when I moved it, but it was fine now.

Their gazes were drawn into the dark depths where the plank road stretched out.

The moonlight could only illuminate a small section nearby; beyond that, there was only deep darkness, with only the mournful sound of the wind.

The marking filter on the wrist became almost imperceptible due to the dual obstruction of the canyon's chaotic energy field and thick rock layers, and the sense of connection was so weak that it was difficult to detect.

This may be the only good news.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Lin stepped onto the rocky walkway that led to an unknown destination.

Footsteps echoed softly in the silent canyon, quickly swallowed by the howling wind.

Darkness, like the open mouth of a giant beast, slowly swallowed him up.

Only the fine gold dagger tightly gripped in his hand and the star power slowly flowing within his body brought him a faint sense of security.

He didn't know what lay ahead, whether the two annihilation vehicles would pursue him, what the battle situation was like in Muta City, or whether Master Evelyn and the others were safe and sound.

But to survive and get out of there is the only thought on my mind at this moment.

The boardwalk winds downwards with a gentle slope, but it is exceptionally long.

The cliffs on both sides are towering, and only a sliver of light can be seen when you look up.

Loose pebbles occasionally rolled down from beneath their feet, plunging into the bottomless darkness below, their faint echoes only returning after a long while.

After walking for about half an hour, the plank road ahead seemed to have come to an end, connecting to a relatively open rock platform embedded in the cliff.

There seem to be some traces of human intervention on the platform?
