Witch Monastery

"Hawthorne!"

Seeing the burrowing demon worm appear, An Nuo screamed nervously, not caring about the huge enemy and the falling rubble, and ran to his side, squatted down, stretched out his hands, and pressed his body: "Lay on Hands!"

The golden holy healing light was injected into his body, and Hawthorne, who was knocked unconscious by the fall, finally felt much better: "Hey - I'm fine!"

He struggled to get up. The shield helped him isolate most of the impact, falling rocks and damage from falling, but he still couldn't resist the high temperature of the burrowing demon worm's body, which was like magma. His body was already burned in many places, but fortunately the power of holy healing was strong enough, so he didn't lose his ability to move.

Behind him, the others also quickly followed and stood with him - to be precise, with An Nuo, to enjoy the protection of the guardian aura.

In front, the giant worm was frozen by his Agatha Christie Armor and was obviously feeling a little uncomfortable, so it squirmed its huge body and did not immediately launch a second round of attack.

At this time, Hawthorne finally had time to look at a real earth-drilling demon worm in the real world. Its body was like a super-giant worm, with an estimated diameter of more than two meters and a total length of more than ten meters, or even close to twenty meters; it had several tentacles like a giant squid on its head, which served as tools for it to dig its way forward when drilling, and as weapons to attack enemies during battle.

Because it lives in the rock layer all year round, its body surface exudes high temperature like magma. Compared with the physical strength of this giant, this temperature is often more deadly!

Everyone present was shocked when they saw this huge beast. Only Heidi and Celine were able to remain calm. Heidi took a deep breath and said loudly, "Don't panic. Its weakness is obvious. Use the water we prepared earlier to splash it—"

Before she could finish her words, she felt a sharp pain in her head, and suddenly she had a mad desire to attack the people around her.

Not only her, but other people around her also showed abnormalities. The middle-aged half-orc from the Danqi tribe even covered his head, squatted down and roared in pain!

This is the mental magic ability of the burrowing demon worm. It is trying to control the people here!

"Restrain yourself and don't be enslaved by it!"

A golden light suddenly shone from An Nuo, covering everyone's body and illuminating her silver armor with golden light.

At this moment, her voice was like the sound of nature, and it almost instantly dispelled the pain in everyone's mind and the uncontrollable urge to attack. At this moment when Hawthorne was injured, she took over the command without hesitation: "According to our original plan, use water to splash it!"

Next to An Nuo, Danqi, who had regained his sanity, gritted his teeth and roared, "You beast, die!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised the bottle of endless water in his hand and read out its activation command: "Geyser!"

wow-

A thick column of water spurted out like a powerful high-pressure water gun, spraying on the body of the burrowing worm!

Not only him, the middle-aged orc also lifted the bucket with his sturdy arms and poured it forward with force; the male goat man and the old orc priest chanted spells and used magic to cause insignificant damage; Heidi, Nidalee and Willow all performed a round of water-making magic, and summoned a total of 300 liters of ice water in one breath right above the burrowing worm thirty meters away!

The water fell like rain, and the burrowing demon worm that was casting a spell was caught off guard. It obviously didn't expect that all the people in front of it could withstand its mental magic. A large amount of icy water fell on it, and in an instant, a large amount of water mist evaporated, and its body began to twist painfully.

Rumbling--

As it twisted wildly, the cave began to tremble violently again, and the stalactites on the ceiling began to fall one by one. Hawthorne, who was about to cast a spell, had to cast a shield to protect himself, while others also covered their heads to avoid the falling rocks.

The burrowing demon insect took advantage of this opportunity, suddenly turned around and flew away quickly along the way it came.

The tremors gradually subsided, and the cave returned to peace. Hawthorne looked up and saw that although everyone was in a terrible state, they were all alive.

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Fortunately...Annuo, has the demonic pollution been purified? Can you still feel that crazy influence?"

Willow also cast her gaze over, and An Nuo nodded immediately: "It has been purified, let's evacuate!"

Fighting against the burrowing demon bugs that could cause earthquakes in the underground space was undoubtedly a very stupid act. Hawthorne naturally agreed with this proposal. He nodded and waved his hand: "Let's go outside!"

The group of people had no objection and turned around and quickly returned along the way they came. However, after only a few steps, the rock formation under their feet began to tremble again, and the amplitude became larger and stronger!

Suddenly, Hawthorne's expression changed drastically: "Is this guy crazy? He knows we have water, but he still wants to fight to the death?"

Although the burrowing demon worms are monsters created by loopholes in the rules, they are not stupid. At least they will not seek death meaninglessly, nor will they seek pain for themselves.

When they were moving underground, they would actively avoid any watery places. Now they had clearly resisted his spirit.

God attacked it and created a large amount of water to hurt it, so it should take the initiative to run away!

But it didn't, perhaps because...

On the side, Willow's expression was a little ugly: "It's very likely that it has gone crazy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong tremor came from under his feet. Hawthorne's face suddenly changed drastically, and he roared: "Disperse!"

As he spoke, he leaped up and knocked down Anno, who was wearing plate armor and had the most difficulty in moving: "Shield!"

hum-

The power of magic enveloped his body, and the next moment, the burrowing demon worm broke out of the rock again.

Fortunately, this time he was not hit head-on by it, but was only hit by one of its tentacle, and then rolled out with Anno.

The rest of the people also dodged, Heidi and Celine flew directly into the air, Nidalee turned into a leopard and jumped away. Madam Willow and the orcs and goats were in a miserable state. Although she could use magic to protect herself, the power and high temperature of the burrowing demon worms instantly injured them!

Chapter 270 Purifying the Burrowing Demon Bug

"puff--"

Holding An Nuo and rolling on the ground with her heavy plate armor, Hawthorne felt that his arm was about to break, and his back was severely burned. He didn't have time to pay attention to his pain. He turned around, gritted his teeth, and chanted the spell: "Create or Destroy Water!"

Water making/dry water technique, and it is a four-ring version!

His heart was burning with anger. Since this bug had gone mad and was determined to die, he would go all out and use all means to kill it!

wow-

Two hundred liters of ice water fell from the sky, but it was not his spell. Instead, Heidi in the distance completed the spell first.

She is now floating in the air, her face stern, not afraid of the impact of the earthquake at all. She casts spells continuously, and so the icy water also continuously soaks the body of the demon insect!

The next one was Hawthorne, who also created two hundred liters of ice water and let it all fall on the burrowing insects!

In the distance, Willow, not caring about the injuries and burns on her body, began to chant the same spell. Further away, Nidalee turned back into human form. As a druid, she certainly knew this spell. However, their spellcasting abilities were quite limited in comparison. They could only cast the first-ring version, summoning only 100 liters of ice water to hurt the burrowing demon worm.

On the other side, although Danchi fell to the ground in a mess, he was not hit directly by the magic insect, so he did not suffer any damage.

But when he looked up to find his people, he found that the middle-aged Orc warrior had half of his body carbonized and fell among the rocks, without any sound!

"No! Uncle——!"

In an instant, Danqi felt as if his heart was being grasped by a pair of big hands. He was still young and had not experienced too many life and death situations. In the previous battles, at most some people were seriously injured, but there were no real casualties.

So at this moment, seeing that his own uncle had lost his life like this, he was immediately furious, his eyes were red with anger, and then he turned his head to look at the burrowing devil insect and roared: "You will not die well!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step forward and rushed towards the guy fearlessly: "Geyser!"

Taking out the endless water bottle that Hawthorne had given him earlier, Danqi recited its command words, and then a thick water column of one hundred liters rushed towards the burrowing demon insect!

"Geyser!"

"Geyser!!"

"Geyser!!!"

He roared wildly, repeating the spell over and over. Unlike Hawthorne's water-making spell, which required mana consumption, the Endless Water Bottle did not require any mana consumption. All he had to do was recite the command word, and endless ice water would gush out from it!

The water column washed the burrowing demon worm almost completely from head to toe. It also caused it great pain. At this moment, Danqi even felt a little grateful to Hawthorne. If he hadn't lent him the Endless Water Bottle, allowing him to summon water columns infinitely, he would probably have been able to watch his uncle die tragically and could do nothing!

Burrowing Demon Bug, I'll take your life!

This was the only thought in his mind, and he had already run close to the burrowing demon worm so that he could use the water columns more efficiently. He wanted to recite the command for the fifth time, but the next moment, the mad burrowing demon worm suddenly twisted its body, and the tentacles on its head extended and waved -

boom--!

Danqi, who was already close at hand, was caught off guard and was instantly knocked away by the tentacle. The animal skin armor he was wearing was instantly burned into a layer of charcoal, and the flesh and skin underneath were also severely burned.

But what was even more terrifying this time was the tremendous power of the burrowing demon worm. He only felt dizzy, his body fell far away, his head hit a rock, and he immediately fell into coma and lost consciousness.

The endless water bottle in his hand also rolled to the side and could no longer play its role for the time being.

"Denci!"

Seeing this scene, Willow cried out in pain, she would feel pain for every life lost. Hawthorne silently said thank you for your fearless sacrifice, which bought us precious time.

and output space.

He continued chanting the spell, summoning more icy water.

In the sky, Celine was also suspended in mid-air. The earthquake on the surface had no effect on her. Unfortunately, she did not know how to create water, so she could only use tracer bullets to shoot at the burrowing demon bugs out of boredom.

On his body, like slacking off, he casually hit the output that was no less than that of Hawthorne and others.

But then, she frowned and suddenly realized that the bug was about to die. She used her foresight to sense it, then quickly turned her head and flew in the direction of Hawthorne, shouting, "Lord...Father, it should be able to purify it too!"

Hawthorne paused. He knew that the burrowing demon worms were essentially the same creatures as the witches. Since the witches could purify, then theoretically, these worms should be able to do the same!

But, such a big burrowing demon worm with such a high body temperature...

How many purification points can be given?

Worth it? Not worth it?

He was trying to decide between greed and cowardice, and Celine quickly added, "You can do it!"

This sentence became the last bolt that broke the camel's back. He gritted his teeth for the last time, and his greed prevailed!

This is a rare opportunity, take it!

With this thought, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to cast the spell, summoned his sword, and ran forward: "Heidi, attract its attention, I will purify it!"

In the distance, Heidi deliberately fell down, created water in front of herself, and then pushed it towards the burrowing worm, in order to show that it was she who hurt it, in order to attract its attention.

The burrowing demon worm was fooled, twisting its body and chasing Heidi. Hawthorne had already rushed to it, took off his shield, took the sword in both hands, jumped up, jumped onto its body, and stabbed forward with the sword -

laugh--

The long sword pierced the skin of the burrowing demon worm. This guy's body was softer than he thought. But the terrifying high temperature followed. He didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly activated his most core ability: "Purification!"

hum-

The milky white light penetrated into the body of the insect, and its body began to disintegrate. At the same time, the high temperature of thousands of degrees began to exert its power, burning its body madly!

"Absorb Elements!"

He immediately chanted the spell of "Absorb Elements", and a vortex of magic appeared, absorbing more than half of the high-temperature energy that penetrated his body. But even so, the continuous contact with the magma-like skin of the burrowing demon insect made him feel extremely painful. His skin even showed a certain degree of carbonization, and the severe pain tore at his brain, making him feel extremely painful!

Feeling that a more terrifying force was penetrating into its body and even hurting its soul, the burrowing demon insect suddenly became even crazier. Feeling that the source of the harm was the little man hanging on its body, it quickly turned over and rolled on the ground, trying to crush Hawthorne to death!

"Well--!"

The soft but blazing skin crushed Hawthorne's body, and he felt as if his face was burnt and his hair was on fire. The weight of the burrowing demon worm was terrifying, but the pressure was shared by the whole body, so the damage he suffered was not serious. The only thing that could hurt him was the high temperature!

The extremely close contact caused the high temperature to burn his entire body. His face was also severely burned, almost disfigured!

call--

Finally, after enduring this final agony, the mad burrowing demon worm, which was completely contaminated by the devil, could no longer maintain its existence. Its huge body slowly decomposed and dissipated under the effect of the purifying white light, and finally there was no trace left, and it disappeared forever.

"Father!"

"Hawthorne!"

"Mr. Hawthorne!"

Nidalee, Anno, and Willow screamed respectively, and then the three girls ignored everything and rushed over here at a high speed.

Nidalee suddenly stopped halfway and began to chant a spell of healing magic in the category of natural magic, while the two behind her rushed to his side. The former began to use the holy healing spell exclusive to the paladin, while the latter cast a healing spell to inject pure natural magic into his body.

"call--"

When Hawthorne just got close to the burrowing demon worm, he felt that he had inhaled a huge amount of hot air, so not only his face, he even felt that his lungs might have been burned.

Fortunately, under this triple healing spell, all the injuries both on the surface of the body and inside the body were rapidly improving. The burns on his face scabbed over quickly, and the burned alveoli regenerated quickly, and then continued to work, breathing in oxygen to restore his strength.

So he took a deep breath and slowly recovered his basic ability to speak: "I'm much better, I'm fine."

Chapter 271: Being crushed under the mountain?

Seeing this, An Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, while Willow's eyes turned red, as if she was about to cry. She held his hand tightly, unwilling to let go: "Fortunately, you are okay..."

After all, they are a race that originated from the Fey Wilds, and the Sheepmen are very emotional creatures. A little thing can make them happy for the whole day, and at the same time, a little tragedy can make them sad and regretful to the point of crying.

Like Willow, seeing Hawthorne just risking his own life - from her perspective - to kill the burrowing monster, she just had tears in her eyes and didn't really cry out loud, which was considered to be a very good self-control.

On the other side, the middle-aged half-goat man who was traveling with her was already wiping away tears.

At the back, the old orc shaman came forward with a complicated look on his face, but he didn't dare to speak. His mana had been used up long ago, so in the previous battle, he only performed a few simple tricks, which didn't contribute much to the battle, so he didn't dare to say a word now.

Seeing that Hawthorne was fine, he stepped forward

He took a step forward and asked tentatively: "Madam Willow, are you okay? Danqi was also seriously injured and is now unconscious..."

Willow realized it belatedly and quickly let go of his hand. She stood up and said, "Oh, I see. Where is he? I'll be there right away."

The old priest pointed her in the direction, and Willow hurried over. Later, Nidalee also rushed to Hawthorne's side, squatted on the other side, held his hand, and used natural magic to help him heal the burns.

"Thank you for your hard work." Hawthorne whispered to them. As soon as these words came out, Annuo didn't bother to cover Nidalee anymore. He stretched out his arms and hugged his head.

In response, Hawthorne smiled bitterly. Facing Nidalee's resentful eyes, he squeezed her little hand to comfort her, then patted Anno's back and said softly, "I'm fine. I know my limits. I just pounced on it to purify it because I saw it was dying."

An Nuo didn't say anything, just hugged him like this. Huo Sang had no choice but to let her hug him for a while longer, while he opened the system and counted his gains.
