Witch Monastery

……

Woo——————

The piercing alarm sounded, and Hawthorne, who was sleeping soundly in Celine's warm embrace, suddenly woke up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to yell at Celine: "Quick, teleport back to your room!"

Celine's body turned into a beam of light, and the next moment she disappeared from his bed and returned to her room. Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief, so that even if An Nuo, who was also awakened, rushed into his room the next moment, he would not find anything unusual.

He then hastily put on a piece of clothing, opened the door, and rushed into the corridor: "What happened?"

Then he found that the panicked adventurers who were also awakened and rushed into the corridor wearing only a pair of pants were asking the same question at this moment: "What happened?"

"What happened?"

……

The screams of women and the loud voices of dwarves mixed together, and hair of various colors rose and fell in the corridor, but without exception, no one knew anything about the current situation.

Hawthorne frowned, but then they felt the ground shaking, as if a thousand buffaloes were running wildly under their house!

"earthquake?"

"Oh my god, hurry up and take shelter in the open space below!"

"I didn't expect there would be an earthquake in this mountain..."

……

The adventurers shouted at once, judging the current situation based on their own personal experience, and then rushed towards the corridor. Hawthorne's face changed drastically. Having seen the burrowing devil worm before, he immediately connected the two together!

Is this the action of the Abyss Lord?

Those burrowing demon insects have come here and are going to turn the entire camp into ruins?

Damn, I didn’t expect I was still a step late!

He gritted his teeth secretly, and did not rush down the stairs with the crowd. Instead, he took a step forward, rushed to the door of An Nuo's room, and knocked hard on the door: "An Nuo! Wake up, An Nuo!"

There was no movement inside, and immediately an ominous premonition came to his mind. He could no longer care about anything else, and raised his hand and fired four bursts of magic energy at the door lock, instantly smashing the lock to pieces!

He then kicked the door open and rushed into the room with great anxiety. He found An Nuo wearing pajamas and covered with a blanket, sleeping soundly on the soft big bed. The alarm and slight earthquake outside did not affect her sleep at all.

Huo Sang was speechless. He hugged her shoulders and shook her vigorously: "Wake up, An Nuo! There's an earthquake. If you don't wake up, you'll be buried underground!"

Her pajamas were a little loose, and her figure was plump enough, so it was inevitable that she would reveal her private parts when she swayed like this. An Nuo slowly woke up from his sleep, and just as he was about to ask something, the low alarm outside the window sounded again: "Woo--!"

Her confused expression suddenly cleared up and became extremely serious: "It's an invasion alarm, the enemy is attacking this camp!"

Huo Sang nodded: "Yes, the earth-drilling bugs are here. There has been an earthquake for quite a while. My dear aunt, you just woke up and the alarm has been sounded twice!"

"Stop talking, put on your clothes and get ready for battle!"

Chapter 284 Earth Dragon Appears

Following Hawthorne's shout, An Nuo also stood up and hurriedly prepared to change her clothes. She was really not prepared for this sudden danger. After all, the Rock Seekers Town had existed for more than a hundred years, and except for wild beasts, it had almost never been attacked. How could such a big danger suddenly happen?

But there is no way. Complaining now is useless. We have no choice but to stand up, take up arms and respond positively.

Just as her hand climbed onto her couch, she suddenly remembered that she was not wearing anything underneath, and her face immediately turned red: "You go out first."

Hawthorne sighed and turned to leave. Fortunately, this hotel was opened by dwarves and the buildings were also built by dwarves. You can say that dwarves are as stubborn as stones, but everyone has to admit that the quality of the things built by these guys is really good.

Even though there was such a huge earthquake outside just now, the building showed no signs of collapsing. It can be said that it is very strong and durable.

He returned to the corridor, and at this moment, Heidi, Shilin, and Nidalee also walked out of the room. As spellcasters, none of them panicked like the other adventurers, and walked into the corridor calmly, frowning and observing everything around them.

Hawthorne didn't delay, and then waved to Heidi, saying: "Heidi, go to Anno's room and help her put on her plate armor. Nidalee, Shilin, let's go down and see what's going on."

In order to ensure the defensive power of plate armor, many parts of it are integrated into one whole, so the wearing process is very complicated. If you put it on by yourself, even if you are skilled, it will take more than ten minutes.

But if there is someone around to lend a hand, everything will be much easier.

Heidi nodded, turned around, pushed open the broken door of Anno's room, and walked in amid the latter's panicked but soon relieved voice. Hawthorne and the other two girls went downstairs quickly. At this moment, no one was left on the first floor of the hotel, including the dwarf aunt, who should have gone outside to take shelter.

But, is it safe outside at this time?

"Roar--!"

There was a roar of a wild beast outside the room, and a huge black shadow flew across the sky and swooped down. A large ball of fire fell from the sky, igniting many houses, firewood, stables and fences. For a moment, the flames shot up into the sky, and the whole town was illuminated!

The sound of burning flames, crackling explosions, and the screams of people who were organizing resistance in the distance mixed together, and the whole town fell into panic.

Hawthorne's face was gloomy. He rushed out of the hotel and saw a chimera with three heads flying in the sky, spitting fire and setting everything on fire!

And not just one, but a group!

Chimera are clearly not gregarious creatures, but these guys cooperated well with each other, as if they were well-trained. They went straight to the inhabited houses, spit out raging flames from their mouths, and set them on fire!

call--

At this moment, a black shadow flew over the sky above their hotel, and a large ball of fire fell down, instantly setting the roof of the hotel on fire!

Huo Sang quickly chanted a spell, cast a water making/drying spell, summoned a large ball of ice water on the roof, and extinguished it. The goat head of the chimera noticed this situation, glared at him with resentment in his eyes, but turned around and flew away very restrainedly, without the temper that a normal chimera should have.

These Chimeras are well trained, they are definitely organized!

His face was gloomy, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. And as if to confirm his guess, another shout came from the distance: "It's the mountain people! The mountain people are attacking!"

"Hurry up and defend yourself. Beat these damn mountain people back!"

"Watch your mouth, I am also a fucking mountain dweller!"

"I didn't say anything about you, come and help me now!"

……

Mountain people!

Hawthorne's heart trembled, and his mind was filled with emotion.

The brown face of Danqi appeared in the forbidden area. Obviously, such a well-trained griffin could only be trained by the Owlbeast Tribe, so it was likely that this was a premeditated attack launched by the Mountain Cleansers Alliance!

Damn it, Willow and Denchi should have returned to the Alliance by this time? Why did the fight still break out?

Is Willow actually untrustworthy?

His face was gloomy. Then, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind. Anno, who had already put on plate armor, went downstairs with Heidi and came to his side.

After seeing those Chimeras spewing fire everywhere and hearing those words, they had almost the same thought: "The Mountain Cleansers Alliance took the initiative to launch an attack?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Nidalee, whose heart immediately rose to her throat: "This shouldn't be the case. Father shouldn't be so reckless as to suddenly launch an attack..."

She said this, but her voice became weaker and weaker, and she had no confidence: "Unless..."

She looked at An Nuo guiltily, wondering if this paladin would kill her with a sword just because she was the daughter of the enemy leader and had been flirting with her boyfriend.

Fortunately, even though he had a lot of complaints about her, An Nuo didn't lose sight of the overall situation: "Save people first!"

She didn't care what the "unless" Nidalee meant, even though at this moment, she already regarded this mountain druid as her ally.

Hawthorne frowned. He already understood what Nidalee meant by "unless".

Unless the Earth Dragon gets completely out of control, Ilarod will be forced to squeeze out the last bit of value from this elemental creature, release it, and place it in the Rockseeker Camp in exchange for the support of the radicals in the Alliance.

This thought came to his mind, and as if to confirm his point of view, the ground suddenly trembled again. The group could not stand steadily, and hurriedly staggered away from the hotel. As they walked, An Nuo was still gritting his teeth secretly: "Is it the burrowing devil insect? How can they be together!"

"No!" Heidi denied, her eyes burning, "This is not a burrowing demon bug, it's an earthquake caused by an earth elemental creature!"

The surface of the burrowing devil worms is burning hot, and they like dry places. Similarly, if they roll under the soil and cause earthquakes, the soil here will also be burned extremely dry by their burning skin.

But at this moment, Heidi did not feel the dryness at all. She only felt that the huge elemental force was condensing in the distance!

"It's a Tulong!"

Nidalee screamed. As the heiress of the Mountain Rider tribe, she was quite familiar with her own elemental creatures. "Stay away from the clearing with the strongest vibration!"

It was visible to the naked eye that a large open space in the center of the town, which was usually used as a market, was now undergoing a movie-like distortion. In fact, she didn't need to say much, as anyone with some adventure experience would have realized the danger of that place and immediately shouted to evacuate.

boom--!

The next moment, a huge monster suddenly emerged from the ground, causing a strong earthquake and countless dust and dirt. The adventurers who were closer were either thrown to the ground or hit by the flying rocks, with some being slightly injured and some being half dead!

Far away, Hawthorne was not affected much. He managed to stabilize his body and tried his best to look over there.

Is that... Earth Dragon?

Through the smoke and dust, he could see the huge creature hidden behind it with difficulty. Rather than a dragon, it was a prehistoric giant crocodile that was magnified countless times and had a pair of thick dragon horns on its head.

Even when crawling on the ground, it was still more than five meters tall, almost as tall as the hotel they were staying in; its entire body was more than twenty meters long, its surface was covered with ochre scales, and it had no wings on its back, so it seemed unable to fly.

At the back is a thick tail that is as long as its body and covered with blunt bumps, like some kind of deadly weapon!

"ha--!"

It opened its mouth, and a terrifying trembling sound came from the depths of its throat, and its eyes were bloodshot. Earth elemental creatures should be honest and slow, and not like to get into disputes with others, but this earth dragon was in a rage, and its desire to kill was rising!

Obviously, it has been blinded by the devil's pollution and its mind has been blinded. Now it is in a frenzy and can only wreak havoc!

Chapter 285 Hunting Giant Beasts

"Danger!"

An adventurer who had just gotten up cried out, then quickly lay down again, trying to avoid the earth dragon's attack.

However, all these attempts were in vain. The earth dragon's tail was connected to the power of the earth, which was enough to sweep away everything here!

boom--!

The log-like tail swept across, hitting everyone who had fallen to the ground, stood up, or tried to protect themselves in other ways. With the flying dirt and rocks, they flew around like kites with their strings cut—!

"Shield!"

Hawthorne raised his shield and loudly chanted a short shield spell. He was still quite far away, so even though some fallen rocks hit him, they did not cause much damage.

Besides him, the other girls were also trying their best to avoid it. Heidi, Celine and Annuo were all OK, as they either had magical means or were wearing plate armor and were not afraid of these things.

Nidalee was the only one left who had to transform into a leopard and run away to dodge the rubble. She screamed in pain when she was hit once or twice.

Finally, the dust settled. But the giant earth dragon's actions were far from over. After clearing away the small ants that were in the way with its tail, the angry beast set its sights on the surrounding houses.

With its huge body, hard scales and great strength, it is only a matter of time before it wants to demolish all the buildings in this town. And when all the buildings here become ruins, the Rock Seekers Town with a century of history will no longer exist!

"Stop it! Shoot arrows, and use magic!"

"Is there any spellcaster here? Requesting support!"

"Push the trebuchet over here and smash it to attract its attention!"

"Ah! My house!"

Boom——

I don't know which unlucky guy let out a shrill wail, but judging from the voice, it must be a dwarf who is not very lucky. Anyway, with the fall of the earth dragon's big slap, a brick bungalow collapsed!

Countless smoke and dust flew up, and behind this house, there were countless small houses of residents. If it was allowed to continue to destroy like this, the losses would be countless!

Hawthorne gritted his teeth, pinched his thigh hard, forced himself to calm down, and his brain worked rapidly, thinking about how to deal with such a behemoth.

It is unlikely to kill him by force. Although this guy does not seem to have the powerful spellcasting ability of Celine, as a super giant earth elemental creature, he can be said to be both tanky and have high output, and it is impossible to kill him in a short time.

And its destructive power is extremely strong. While they are grinding this guy's skin, its power is enough to demolish the entire town and cause countless casualties!

However, considering that the reason for this guy's madness was the contamination of the devil, the solution immediately came to mind -

“Shilin!” he roared, “Hold it back for now, attract its attention, and lead it to a place with few people and buildings. Don’t let it cause too much damage!”

"Heidi, Nidalee, go out into the woods and find a spot. Use your tentacles and vines to create a trap!"

"Remember, it's the kind of trap that can immobilize it! I'll purify it when I get a chance!"

He yelled and plotted loudly in front of the earth dragon, not afraid that it would hear his plan. Looking at its crazy state, it was estimated that it didn't have much thinking ability left, and even if it heard it, it would probably be useless.

"understand!"

Upon hearing this, Celine cast a flying spell on herself and floated in the air, overlooking the huge earth dragon.

She first raised her hand and activated the five-ring spell "Dawn", shooting directly into its eyes. Then, she fired tracer bullets from one ring after another, hitting it like crazy!

The Earth Dragon itself was too powerful. Even if the "Seven Color Jet" was upgraded to the fifth ring, it would be difficult to blind its eyes. So Celine simply didn't use it and used pure violence to attract its attention!

In the distance, the slightly embarrassed Nidalee turned back into human form, then waved her arms and shouted to Heidi: "I know a place that is very suitable for a trap, follow me!"

As a druid, and a druid of the Earth Society living in the mountains, it was almost instinctive for her to memorize the surrounding terrain. She then changed back into the form of a leopard, and without waiting for Heidi, she spread her legs and ran out!

Heidi then cast the flying spell on herself, and her body flew out as fast as the wind, chasing after Nidalee.

The two of them are going to create a trap made of vines and tentacles to ensure that once the earth dragon steps in, it will be tied up, thus creating an opportunity for Hawthorne to purify its mind!

"Anno, let's act together!"
