Witch Monastery

Hawthorne seized the opportunity, hugged the stone on its back, and silently said, "Purification!"

hum-

The white light began to penetrate into the body of the earth dragon, dispelling the madness and pollution in its soul.

At the same time, the violent earth dragon has begun to control all the earth elements around it!

hum-

The soil around it was rapidly turning into sand, and the pit was soon filled with quicksand. The vines that bound it withered and died quickly, and the tentacles that Heidi had summoned also quickly dissipated completely under the scouring of the quicksand!

"Owner!"

Seeing that the dragon had regained its freedom, Heidi screamed in surprise. She immediately tried to cast a spell again, summoning new tentacles to bind the dragon, but the new black tentacles were almost immediately washed away by the quicksand and shattered in the instant they appeared, and their existence time was no more than a second!

Not only that, but even the outer edge of the pit began to become sandy and concave, and countless soil and rocks began to sink in. Heidi had to step back to avoid falling into the quicksand.

Nidalee was also extremely anxious, but her weak vines could not hold out for long in the face of this terrifying quicksand. Facing such a terrifying enemy, she was lucky enough to be able to barely protect herself!

The two spellcasters were helpless and could only watch as the earth dragon began to roll in the quicksand pit, like a real crocodile, performing a death spin!

And Hawthorne on its back was buried in the soil as it turned over!

"Ugh——!"

Huo Sang closed his eyes and mouth, and clung to the back of the earth dragon, feeling the pressure of the sand coming from all directions. The rolling quicksand rubbed against his skin, and he felt the back of his hands and the back of his neck were rubbed hot!

He didn't dare to move at all. The sand had already wrapped around his entire body. If he relaxed even a little, the quicksand would immediately fill his body!

He didn't even dare to recite the shield spell, for fear that the quicksand would fill his mouth and intestines as soon as he opened his mouth!

We can only resist!

hold onto!

Hold on, and you will win!

The purifying white light has submerged the earth dragon's entire body.

Chapter 292 Earth Dragon "Galeaon"

Huo Sang had no other options but to rely on his physical fitness enhanced by the system and the fake life on his body to resist. All the routines, skills and mechanisms had been exhausted, and now all he could do was to fight with pure vitality.

Fortunately, this earth dragon is not a true undead creature or evil demon, it is just a poor elemental creature polluted by the devil. Only a small part of its body needs to be purified, so it does not take too much time to complete the whole process.

hum-

Just as the sand crocodile was about to start its fourth rotation and Hawthorne was about to give up, the milky white purifying light disappeared. The earth dragon's body stopped turning, just on its back. Its restless body stopped trembling, and then there was no sound, as if it was dead, or as if it was asleep.

"Pfft-!"

Feeling that he was safe, Hawthorne raised his head, shook his head, and spat out the sand that had entered his mouth through the corners of his mouth. There was a lot of sand in his hair, clothes, pants, and shoes, and now there was no part of his body that was not uncomfortable.

But now was obviously not the time to clean up, he got up with a slight tremor, took out the spell book from the dimension bag, and cast a healing spell on himself. He felt the burning pain on the back of his neck and the back of his hands subside, and the wounds caused by friction slowly healed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I held on.

Then, he opened his system panel again and was disappointed to see that he had gained no purification points.

As expected, only by purifying the undead creatures, demons and creatures of the enemy type can you earn these things.

He thought so, but before he could be disappointed for too long, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Thank you, child."

"Thank you for using that strange power to pull me back from the abyss of madness, so that I would not continue to be a crazy monster, sinking into the sea of ​​killing."

Huo Sang's eyes were stunned, then he lowered his head and looked at the earth dragon below.

Hesitantly asked, "You are... I am on your back?"

This earth dragon is actually intelligent and can even communicate with others telepathically?

Hiss... Nidalee has never mentioned such a thing before.

If that's the case, her real combat power might be even higher. I was lucky enough to purify her today.

He thought so and felt thankful, and then the gentle female voice sounded again: "Yes, I am the elemental life disguised as a dragon under you. The Mountain Worshipers call me 'Earth Dragon', but I prefer others to call me 'Galeon'."

Galeon?

Hawthorne chewed on the name silently, but unfortunately he had never heard of it. The actual fantasy world was so vast, and there were more than a few giants in the earth elemental world. It was impossible for him to have heard of every one of them.

"You're welcome, Ms. Galeon." He continued, "It is our duty to help people get rid of the control of demons and maintain peace and stability."

He knew that most creatures in the earth elemental world were gentle and simple, so if he behaved selflessly and did not ask for anything in return, it would be easier for him to gain their favor.

You need to have different attitudes towards different people. For example, when dealing with the devil, you must be on high alert and be meticulous, otherwise you will definitely be cheated by them without leaving anything behind.

Sure enough, even though Galion's voice sounded very tired at the moment, he still admired him very much: "What a good boy, what's your name?"

"Hawthorne," he answered directly.

"Hawthorne..." Tulong silently memorized it, "Okay, I remember it. It's a pity that my strength has been greatly damaged now, and I need some time to rest."

"Please forgive me for having to return to the Earth Elemental Realm first. When I have rested, I will bring you a thank-you gift."

Hawthorne was slightly surprised, but Galion did not seem to give him time to refuse. Her body gradually became fluffy, turned into dust and dissipated. In a moment, it disappeared completely.

Fortunately, before she disappeared, she used soft quicksand to cushion him, allowing him to land on the ground smoothly without getting hurt again.

After landing, Hawthorne patted the sand off his body, took off his shoes, and poured out the sand inside. Only then did he feel better. In the distance, the exhausted Heidi and Nidalee also jumped into the pit and slowly walked towards him. Both girls had worried expressions on their faces. Seeing that he was safe, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Hawthorne waved to them, and stood up despite the pain and fatigue all over his body. The two girls came over and supported his arms on the left and right, which barely allowed him to stand steadily.

"Master, that earth dragon?" Heidi asked softly, and Hawthorne nodded gently: "Yes, it has been solved. She regained consciousness, and then said she needed to rest, and disappeared underground."

Nidalee's expression changed. "She?"

Hawthorne turned his head and looked at her: "Uh, yes, I heard a female voice, although normally, elemental creatures should be genderless..."

Nidalee's expression suddenly became more subtle: "Female voice? Can she talk to you?"

Hawthorne was stunned: "Ah? Your father can't?"

Nidalee shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't communicated with her. But when my father described her, he usually used emotional words, such as pain, irritability, calmness, happiness... but he never said that she could speak."

Hearing this, Heidi on the other side suddenly laughed: "That should be because your father didn't tell you in detail. She should have been able to speak from the beginning."

"It's impossible that this elemental creature has never had a gender, but after being infected by the devil, going crazy, and being purified by the master, its consciousness began to change to that of a female, right?"

Hawthorne looked at Heidi deeply, and always felt that the situation she denied was the correct answer.

But apparently, Nidalee agreed with her point of view: "Indeed... But it doesn't matter. Master, can you still move?"

Hawthorne looked up at the flames and smoke billowing from the Rockseekers' camp and gave a bitter smile, "It must be possible. Let's go back and pick up An Nuo and Celine!"

After saying that, he suppressed his fatigue and asked Nidalee to summon vines again, climb out of the deep pit, and run all the way towards the camp.

At this moment, in the town of Rockseeker, the battle between Ilarod and Shilin was still going on. The Archdruid was caught off guard at first because he had not expected Shilin's fighting style to be so wild. But after calming down and adapting to her attack rhythm, at least parrying and protecting himself were no longer a problem.

Unfortunately, just as he was planning to use magic to fight back, the earth dragon was suddenly lured away. No longer having to worry about this super-giant elemental creature destroying the town and killing ordinary people, Celine could use all his energy to deal with Ilarod.

Then the dazzling light of the five-ring spell "Dawn" continued to shine, tracer bullets fell from the sky like crazy, and "Daylight" illuminated every detail around him, leaving him nowhere to hide. So the druid was beaten by her again and could only use his many spells to protect himself.

He didn't dare to really use Gaohuan to counterattack again. After all, after the previous Yangyan Explosion, the opponent was actually safe and sound, which made him very unsure of the opponent's condition.

Did he receive some blessing that made him immune to radiance, or did he use the mage-exclusive nine-ring spell Invincibility in advance?

He didn't know, but

He was unwilling to pay the price of injury to try again, so he chose the safest way to play.

However, even though he was in such a mess now, to some extent, his strategic goal had been achieved...

Although he couldn't defeat Celine, he managed to hold her back so that she couldn't be distracted by the battlefield of ordinary soldiers on the ground.

As long as they continue to delay, the Mountain Cleansers Alliance will have won the battle!

This was what Ilarod was thinking, and he felt relieved. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the Earth Dragon had broken the connection with his power.

Immediately, he frowned slightly, was distracted for a moment, and was almost hit by Celine.

He quickly transformed himself into a small animal to avoid it. After he dodged it, he frowned and thought about the current situation.

This is her unilateral breaking of the contract with the Mountain Riders.

Although he would receive a huge amount of compensation according to the contract, the Mountain Worshipers tribe would still lose an extremely powerful fighter.

However, this was something he had expected. After all, before launching this attack, he had already prepared to sacrifice the Earth Dragon.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the battlefield in the distance, his eyes full of relief.

Fortunately, this battle is about to be won. How much benefit the tribe can gain from this will depend on my mediation...

Chapter 293: Ions overheated?

At this moment, in the center of this chaotic battlefield, Annuo was struggling alone. Although relying on this plate armor, magic shield and combat training she had received since childhood, she could kill these minotaurs protected by her ancestors almost without any injury even if she faced them one by one.

However, two fists are no match for four hands. When she was besieged by a large number of enemies and could not take care of the ends, even if she was wearing invincible magic plate armor, she would eventually be knocked unconscious by blunt weapons.

After all, the other guards had been defeated, and there was no one left to defend her flank. The enemy could easily surround her from both sides, or attack her from behind.

Fortunately, Celine, who was flying in the sky, was always observing her. Once she found that the situation was not good, she would immediately send a string of tracer bullets down to help her out. This allowed her to still hold on and not be defeated immediately.

Annuo persisted like this, even though many people had already collapsed and fled, but she still stood here. The sense of responsibility in her heart did not allow her to flee now, she had to continue to persist and buy time for those innocent civilians to evacuate.

Every extra minute saved allows some innocent people to take away more property, thus reducing losses. At the same time, it also allows these brutal mountain people to take fewer lives.

Also, wait for Hawthorne to come back.

She firmly believed that he could deal with the earth dragon, and then come back to pick her and Shilin up, or even create a miracle and lead everyone to victory...

Although the last point is almost a fantasy, there is still a small flame burning in her heart.

She wanted to win, protect this place, and make these mountain people pay the price with blood!

She didn't have to wait too long. Some fierce energy beams were fired from a distance, blowing up the head of a minotaur who was trying to hit her head with a giant hammer from behind.

Then, countless vines and tentacles grew out from the ground, tying up or beating to death the other enemies that besieged her, finally rescuing her.

Annuo turned her head and looked around, and saw Hawthorne, Heidi and Nidalee running towards her through the smoke and flames.

Suddenly, she felt as if the whole world was shining, like spring flowers blooming: "Hawthorne!"

She waved her arm and greeted him, while Hawthorne frowned immediately after seeing the current situation.

He walked up to An Nuo and asked, "What happened? Wasn't the situation looking good just now? Why did it suddenly fail?"

He really couldn't understand. With that kind of electric ion launcher, the defenders of the Rockseeker camp should be able to suppress the enemy!

How could there be counter pressure?

Hearing this, Annuo's face suddenly became complicated: "This... It was indeed fine at the beginning. Those minotaurs were hit by the lightning bolts and couldn't raise their heads. The situation seemed to be very good."

"But later, during the fight, the ion beam emitters in the hands of the adventurers suddenly overheated."

Hawthorne blinked, and probably understood what was going on. "Overheat? What's going on?"

An Nuo shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, those people holding the launchers suddenly panicked and shouted words like overheating. It was probably something like this."

"Uh..." Hearing this, Hawthorne's expression became more complicated, "Then what?"

"And then it exploded!" An Nuo sighed, his face full of pain, "Who could have known that the quality of Blue Dragon's stuff was so poor that it blew that person half to death in an instant!"

Hawthorne blinked twice. "So...after that, they didn't dare to shoot anymore, and the mountain people turned the tables?"

An Nuo nodded: "Yes."

Huo Sang held his forehead with his hand, thinking that as expected, the wealthy Blue Dragon always had such bad luck in doing business and making money from products...

Was it just bad luck, or were these ion beam emitters simply not loyal enough?

However, since defeat was already certain, he did not think about changing his fate.

He is now exhausted, and it is obvious to the naked eye that Annuo's physical strength and magic power have reached their limits.

Turning his head to look at the town behind him, he gave his own suggestion: "It seems that most people have evacuated. Should we evacuate as well?"

Then, with the naked eye, a look of great loss and frustration appeared on the face of the girl in front of him.

She gritted her teeth slightly, as if she was very unwilling to accept this outcome, but she had no choice but to accept the reality.

"Yeah." She responded, "Let's retreat."

Hawthorne could sense her disappointment. He gave her a hug as a comfort, but he didn't have more time to deal with her bad mood. He turned around and shouted to the sky: "Celine, we're leaving!"

In the sky, the continuous bombardment made Celine feel a little tired and overheated. When she heard the order to retreat, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She let out a long breath, looked at the minotaurs rushing towards her, then raised her hand and chanted a spell: "Prismatic Spray!"
