Witch Monastery

He didn't know, but he had already clenched the giant axe in his hand. Almost every tribe in the Mountain Cleansers Alliance had a grudge against Libel Harbor. He supported destroying the demons first, just because the Chimeras were too affected.

And if he encounters the Sein people, he doesn't mind destroying them first.

The people coming over there were naturally Hawthorne and his group. Although the encounter last night was ambiguous and erotic, after everything calmed down, it was undeniable that they had finally caught the trace of the devil.

After a night's rest, Annuo began to use her divine perception to track down the demons this morning. Even though she was wearing full plate armor, she did not slow down and kept moving forward to find the demons as quickly as possible.

They passed through a forest of trees covered with bloody tumors, crossed a dark green river with severe pollution and piranhas hiding in it, and even killed a few goats that had been driven mad by pollution and had grown several rows of sharp teeth in their mouths like sharks. Only then did they track them all the way to this place.

As a paladin, Anno could detect the breath of demons more keenly than the goats, so in just one morning, she locked one of the sources of corruption in the cave in the distance.

However, when they arrived, they found that there were already people there.

A group of orcs who were obviously mountain people, and the chimeras they domesticated.

An Nuo paused, looking ahead with eyes full of vigilance. Following behind her, Huo Sang and others also stopped immediately, took a defensive posture, and confronted the other party from a distance.

Without knowing the specific strength of the other party, neither side wanted to be the first to take action. But at this moment, Annuo couldn't help but feel anxious. She could clearly feel that the source of the devil's pollution was hidden in the cave and was still releasing polluting energy.

"Our target is in that cave!" she whispered, then looked at the people behind her, "What should we do? Should we attack directly?"

As a member of the Black Rod Tower, especially after learning about the hostility of the Mountain Cleaners Alliance towards the port, Annuo is now inevitably full of rejection of the mountain people, and the suggestions he puts forward are extremely radical.

Hawthorne was about to speak, but he swallowed the words back and turned to Nidalee, "You two should know how to deal with them, right?"

He has realized that he

The inconvenience caused by white hair, so it is more appropriate to leave this matter to Nidalee, who is also a mountain dweller.

Chapter 259 Traps and Screams

Nidalee took a deep breath and said, "I'll try."

Then, she took a step forward, walked around Hawthorne, and spoke loudly to the front: "Brothers in front, I am Nidalee, the leader of the Mountain Riders tribe, the daughter of Archdruid Ilarod. This time, I came here under the order of my father with experts in fighting demons. The purpose is to eliminate the demon pollution in the cave."

"I wonder if you could please let us in?"

Danqi: "..."

He couldn't help but remain silent, thinking that it was a good thing that he was also a high-ranking member of the Mountain Purifier Alliance, otherwise he would not have been able to see through this woman's lies.

Since the general policy of eliminating demons was determined, the major tribes of the Mountain Cleansers Alliance took action. The two major tribes joined together to eliminate the demon pollution. This was the best conclusion they reached after in-depth discussions with Ilarod.

The Archdruid himself was purifying the pollution in another direction, and he was even more short-handed. How could he possibly send his daughter and a group of outsiders to purify the pollution here?

This woman must be a fake!

To take a step back, even if she was real, the few tender-skinned companions around this woman were obviously from Port Liberl, and there was even a Sein - no matter what, the Archdruid would not cooperate with these people.

and so……

"No!" Danqi stiffly replied, stiffening his neck. "Our people are also eliminating the pollution inside. You can just wait here for a while. There is no need for you to intervene!"

Negotiations failed.

Nidalee looked unhappy, she felt very ashamed. She began to think about what new reasons she could use to persuade the other party. Here, Annuo's eyes suddenly widened: "The demonic aura in the cave has become stronger, we must hurry!"

Hawthorne's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he immediately thought that these guys were carrying out some ulterior motives, so they were obstructing his progress.

He took a step forward and was about to speak when a sharp sound like stone crushing glass suddenly rang out from the cave: "Ouch—"

The terrifying mental pollution gushed out, and even Huo Sang felt a sharp pain in his brain. This was when he was under the protection of An Nuo's spiritual light, and the performance of those orcs in front was even worse!

"Well--!"

Danqi, who was just arguing, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He hugged his head in pain, lowered his head, and clenched his teeth. Not only could he not continue to comfort the Chimera beside him, but he could not even protect himself.

"Roar--!"

Without his comfort, and with its brain damaged by the devil's scream, the strongest Chimera beside him roared, unable to control the fire and restlessness in its heart any longer, it exerted strength with all four limbs, leaped up, spread its wings, and flew towards Hawthorne in front of it!

Not only it, but after their respective trainers and masters lowered their heads in pain, the uncontrolled chimeras also went crazy at the same time. Two of them, like the chimera beside Danqi, flew forward; one suddenly began to shake his head wildly, spitting everywhere, as if he was having a mad attack; and the last one actually lowered his sheep's head and bumped into the side, attacking his master!

The scene suddenly became chaotic!

……

Time goes back ten minutes.

Willow Greenvine led a group of spellcasters from her tribe and walked forward along this two-meter-high circular cave. There was no light in the dark cave, but with the blood of the fey, each of them was a natural spellcaster. Although they were not as powerful as elves, they had no problem using some simple spells to improve the environment.

So now, each of the satyrs has a light spell in his hand, using a strong light comparable to a high-power flashlight to illuminate the way ahead.

However, the more she walked here, the more uneasy Willow Green Vine felt.

She felt that this did not look like a naturally formed cave, nor like an animal's nest, nor like a mine dug by professionals such as dwarf miners. Instead, it looked more like a circular tunnel drilled by some kind of super-giant worm.

The more she looked at it, the more it looked like it. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. The more uneasy she felt, the more she was inclined to believe that it was the work of those things...

Could it be that the demon has awakened and even controlled some of the burrowing insects?

Is this cave made by the burrowing demon worms?

Judging from the width and size... this must be at least an adult burrowing insect!

So fast...

Oh my God, was this cave dug out by coincidence, or was it deliberately dug out by the demon who controlled it?

She didn't dare to think about it too much. If it was the latter, then the efficiency of those demons would be much higher than she had pessimistically predicted before. And the damage they would cause would be far greater than she had imagined!

The most pessimistic prediction is that if the Lord of the Abyss succeeds, not to mention the Port of Liberl at the foot of the mountain, even the plateau of nearly one million square kilometers in the northwest will be torn apart and cease to exist!

Without the barrier of the plateau, the monsoons in various places can flow smoothly, which will also change the climate of the whole world...

No, we must speed up!

With such fear, Willow quickened her pace and continued to go deeper along the road. After turning another corner, they found that the inside was suddenly open and they actually arrived at a huge underground cave.

In.

The cave is about five or six meters high and covers an area of ​​nearly ten thousand square meters, the size of a large square. In the middle of the cave stands a few irregular rock pillars, on which hang many white stalactites of varying lengths, very beautiful.

"Be careful, there may be some enemies hiding here!"

Willow Greenvine reminded her people and stepped forward carefully. The remaining goats quickly changed their formation and formed a circle, then shone the light in all directions, illuminating any direction to ensure that they would not be attacked by the enemy hiding somewhere.

They went deeper and deeper, and after passing several stone pillars, they saw a dilapidated stone tablet standing in the center of the cave. On the stone tablet, the blasphemous and cursed Abyssal Language was written in red blood, and its content was nothing but various vicious curses. In front of it were some corrupted tributes and a few black gems.

The moment she saw the stone tablet, Willow felt a stinging pain in her eyes and brain, and two tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

She tried to blink twice to suppress the discomfort, and then said: "This is it. Everyone, be alert to the surroundings. I will pull out this stone tablet and purify the pollution here!"

Many satyr wizards turned their backs to the stone tablet, carefully alerting the enemies that might emerge from the shadows around them. Willow Greenvine walked to the stone tablet alone, cast a protective spell on her eyes, and then carefully read the words on the stone tablet.

She felt a little nervous, as this was her first time purifying such a place. After all, no one had summoned a demon in these mountains in the past few decades.

She then walked around the stone tablet again, observing the situation behind it. She felt that the situation was not much different from what was described in the textbook left by her grandmother. Then she made a gesture with her fingers and chanted a spell.

A soft white light shone from her body, and then penetrated into the stone tablet in front of her. She felt her power rapidly draining away, as if something was draining it away. This uncontrolled feeling made her a little nervous, and she had a sense of foreboding in her heart. So she gritted her teeth slightly, and tried her best to control her magic power, so that it could be used more evenly to fight against the pollution on the stone tablet.

But then, a powerful attraction came from the stone tablet. It tore off the original disguise, like a high-powered water pump, madly draining her magic power!

hum-

The stone tablet began to tremble, and the empty space in the underground began to be torn apart. Willow Greenvine's eyes widened, and her ominous premonition came true, instantly gripping her heart!

This is a trap, a trap set specifically for them by those demon worshippers!

"Back off!" she screamed, not caring about her image, and turned around and ran back.

However, it was too late now. A shrill scream came from the dilapidated stone tablet, as harsh as stone rubbing against glass, causing the satyrs present to feel a sharp pain in their heads!

Then, a vortex-shaped circular portal opened, and countless demons laughed and gushed out from it!

Chapter 260: Crazy Chimera

At this moment, outside the cave.

When the scream was heard, Danqi also felt a sharp pain in his head, and a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart, and then his mind was filled with endless murderous thoughts!

Kill kill kill kill kill kill!

Fortunately, he had received sufficient training before coming here. He quickly raised his hand and slapped himself hard, thus restraining the madness and not completely losing control.

However, this delayed the time. He no longer had the chance to comfort his Chimera, and could only watch the latter leap and pounce on the five people in front!

"Barbari!"

He cried out in surprise, feeling both fear and relief. He was afraid that if the Chimera had attacked him, he would have been seriously injured if not dead, but he was relieved that his Chimera really had deep feelings for him, and even if it went crazy, it would not hurt him, but chose to attack the enemy in front!

Forget it, since the other party is from Liber Port, we have to fight anyway. It is better to let Barbary rush first and gain the advantage.

With this in mind, Danqi gave up ordering his Chimera to retreat. He even had a glimmer of anticipation in his heart, wanting to see how strong the Chimera he had trained himself could be.

In front of him, seeing that the Chimera was actually flying towards him, the extremely nervous Hawthorne immediately raised his hand and chanted a spell. Four basin-sized magic circles opened above his body: "Eldritch Blast!"

He is now under the protection of the Paladin's guardian aura, and he has already cultivated the magical will, so he is least affected and can launch a counterattack instantly at this moment!

Four invisible energy beams shot out. Even though the distance was far, Hawthorne's accuracy had greatly improved. Moreover, the crazy Chimera did not dodge at all, so all four shots hit the target!

"Roar--!"

The three heads of the Chimera all roared in pain, and large pieces of its flesh were broken down and torn apart. The essence of the damage caused by the magic energy explosion field was to break down matter. Many of its muscle cells were broken down into the smallest particles. The pain caused by this was even more severe than having a piece of flesh dug out!

"asshole!"

In the back, seeing his pet being hurt, Danqi's eyes widened with anger, and the nameless anger that had just been suppressed rose up uncontrollably: "Owlbeast Tribe, attack!"

He roared, and the other Orc warriors beside him had also been aroused by the devil's scream and were filled with endless rage. When they received the order, they immediately let out furious war cries, waved their battle axes, and took big steps, charging towards Hawthorne and others!

Here, An Nuo also regained his sanity from the pain brought by the scream. When he saw the chimera, his expression suddenly changed: "It's the head of the red dragon. This chimera can spit fire. Scatter quickly!"

"Hawthorne, let's keep our distance and take turns to withstand its attacks!"

She instantly determined the enemy's subspecies and gave orders accordingly. She and Hawthorne were the only ones holding shields, so she naturally considered him to be the front line.

Hold the line, and allow the spellcasters in the back row space to cast spells!

This was a very common idea of ​​hers, but unfortunately, it was obvious that she did not understand how the Curse Swordsman fought.

Hawthorne took a quick step back and hid behind her, ensuring that he was protected by the guardian aura. He growled, "Retreat, keep some distance! Heidi, tie up this chimera! Nidalee, divide the battlefield! Shireen, blind them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he chanted a spell again, and four huge circular magic circles took shape behind him again!

Behind them, Heidi, Celine, and Nidalee all retreated quickly. Even though they were out of the protection of the Paladin's guardian aura, they were also completely out of the range of Chimera's breath.

They then chanted the spell and prepared to cast it. They all believed that Hawthorne had the ability to deal with the monster, so they should focus on the others rushing over from behind.

In the sky, the Chimera had already swooped down. A deadly fire was brewing in its dragon mouth. As it rushed down, it suddenly lowered its head and spit out forcefully—

call--

Blazing fire fell from the sky. Fortunately, it was not a real red dragon, but a monster that had merged with a part of it. The temperature and range of the fire were extremely limited, and it was only enough to cover Hawthorne and Annuo.

hum-

The golden guardian aura automatically lit up when the flames touched the two. At the same time, Hawthorne raised his hand between casting the magic energy explosion, and the incantation of another spell was completed: "Absorb Elements!"

Absorb the elements!

Invisible magic was stirring in the air, forming a translucent vortex. The falling fire was first absorbed by this spell, and then weakened by the power of the guardian aura. When it really fell on the two of them, it was almost as strong as boiling water. Huo Sang's protective spell and An Nuo's full body armor were enough to easily resist it.

The remaining flames fell on the surrounding ground, igniting the withered yellow grass. It looked mighty, but in reality it did not do much damage!

At the same time, the four magic circles that had already taken shape above Hawthorne's body also shot out four energy beams in turn!

bang bang bang-

The energy beam hit the Chimera, which was close at hand, and large pieces of flesh and blood were broken down again. The Chimera was now covered with horrible wounds and holes, with red flesh turned outward and blood gushing out, looking even a little scary.

"Roar--!"

The Chimera roared in pain again. It was hit by eight magic energy explosions, and it was almost fatally injured. But the pain also completely aroused the ferocity in its blood. At this moment, it lowered its head and swooped down, with its huge curved horns pointing at Anno standing in front of it.

The latter held up her shield and tried to dodge, but the sheep's head was extremely flexible. With a slight twist of its neck, it hit her right on the path of dodging. Its movements were so skillful that it could be said to be well-trained.

She had no choice but to raise her shield to block, which was of course a bad idea. With the force of the dive, the thick, curved horns on the Chimera's head hit her shield head-on.

clang--

"Humph!"

Instantly, a huge force hit An Nuo, and she felt her left arm go numb, and her entire arm almost lost consciousness. She retreated quickly in her plate armor, stepped over the blazing fire on the ground behind her, and crashed directly into Huo Sang's arms!

"Uh--"

Hawthorne couldn't help but groan, and the attack he was about to launch was interrupted. He had to put his arm around Annuo's shoulders to help her stand steady.
