Witch Monastery

"Yes, yes, it's terrible." Hawthorne responded without emotion, "So do you have some clues or have you found her lair?"

"Yes, we have found his lair." Nidalee said hurriedly, "We originally didn't intend to care about these bandits, but his recent actions are really too outrageous and have seriously affected the balance of nature. So I followed the trail and accurately located his position in the mountains and forests."

"As for this matter, the three of you can rest assured. I have mastered a path that will allow you to see his castle safely."

"Very good." Hawthorne nodded, "When do we leave?"

"Hmm... you three need to prepare something, right?" Nidalee probed again. "His castle is deep in the mountains, very far away from here, and the road leading there has been destroyed by time. We have to cross mountains and avoid the sight of their scouts. It's very hard."

What I mean is, you three, who look like spoiled city people, should prepare some tents and other things before setting off with me.

In response, Hawthorne shook his head decisively: "No, please take us there directly."

With the help of spells, he was confident that he could keep up with Nidalee even in the mountains.

Seeing him so confident, and looking at his young face, delicate skin and slightly thin body, Nidalee's eyes flickered. She didn't know whether he was really capable or just arrogant.

Forget it, I'll give it a try later. I'll eventually be able to find out whether these three are the right people.

"That's great," she said, "I can go now!"

Hawthorne also nodded: "Okay, let's go now!"

His luggage and other things were all packed in the dimensional bag he carried with him. He spent 600 gold coins to buy this thing, which made him feel very upset.

pain.

However, the situation was urgent and he had no time to bargain, so he had to buy it directly. And having this thing was convenient, at least, he could leave whenever he wanted, without any worries!

Chapter 130 Ogre Attack

In the dense forest.

The sun gradually moved southward, but because of the shade of the trees, the noon in the mountains did not seem hot. The breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of fragrant grass and a hint of coolness to passers-by, which was very comfortable.

Although this pleasure cannot eliminate the fatigue brought by climbing the mountain road, people with poor physical fitness or who have not mastered the skills will still be exhausted to the point of falling down after climbing mountains and crossing ridges for a whole morning.

Nidalee stepped on straw sandals and deliberately hurried along at a speed that was relatively fast for an ordinary person.

As a druid of the Earth Society and a part-time hunter-type ranger, this kind of mountain terrain is exactly her favorite terrain. She doesn't need to consume a bit of magic power, and can easily jump up and down the hillside, not only as if walking on flat ground, but also at a fast speed.

However, advancing at this speed would be quite stressful for adventurers who were not from these two professions. But Nidalee didn't care about her teammates at all, or rather, she did it on purpose.

She wanted to test the strength of Huo Sang and the other two in this way to see if they were really confident or just young masters and young ladies who were unaware of the dangers of the mountains and wilderness.

Judging from the current results...

They walked for two hours straight, and had already covered more than 20 miles of mountain road. Among the three, only Huo Sang's face turned slightly red, but he not only did not fall behind, but he did not even complain of being tired.

As for Jutta and Cuibis, they were calm and collected, as if they could easily run another few dozen miles.

Hiss, they dare to offer a reward for Zenis's location so openly. It seems that they are well prepared and should not be underestimated.

That being the case...

She then turned around, took a few quick steps, walked out of the woods, and stopped beside a small river covered with pebbles. She continued, "Let's take a rest here. You must be tired, too. Have some lunch, and then we'll continue on our way. We'll try to arrive before the sun sets so you can see it."

Hawthorne also stopped walking. After walking for two hours, he was really tired. So he didn't think much about it and nodded gently: "Well, let's take a break."

Having said this, he and the two witches walked over the pebbles to the river, put down their backpacks, sat on a clean big rock, and then took out dry food from their bags, including bread, dried radishes, and beef jerky, preparing to have a simple meal on the spot.

Before eating, he used up the rest of his mana and cast extended effects on himself with the Long Stride and Protective spells, leaving only the last two points as reserve. He then ate slowly while resting, attempting to use the one-hour lunch time to get himself back to full health.

The two witches just ate something symbolically and then ended it. Then Jutta stayed by his side, holding the water bag to feed him water, while Cuibis took another empty water bag and went to the river to fill it with water.

The way she served him so attentively made Nidalee frown slightly, thinking, are you here for an adventure or a spring outing?

Oh, I’ll let you know later, this is a dangerous place with unexpected events, a forest that can eat people, this is not a place where you can be careless!

Thinking of this, she then looked up, slightly puzzled.

Strange, why hasn’t he come down yet?

Forget it, let’s eat something first.

Thinking of this, she chanted a spell silently and used the "magic berry technique" to conjure up a bunch of bright red berries in her hand. She then picked some and put one in her mouth.

This is a magical berry condensed from natural energy. Just one berry can meet a person's nutritional needs for a whole day. Therefore, if there is a druid in the team, there is no need to put too much food in the backpack.

Even so, everyone would rather carry more food than have a druid join the team and hold them back.

cough!

Anyway, at this moment, the two sides still maintained a distance of almost strangers, each handling their own lunch. Although Hawthorne's efficiency was not as good as Nidalee's, he finished eating quickly, and then planned to rest on Uta's thighs to recover his energy.

But at this moment, Yuta's expression suddenly changed, and then he frowned and looked back.

Tribis then felt it too, but she chose to speak it out directly: "Is there something approaching? I heard some noise?"

Hawthorne opened his eyes suddenly: "I feel it too, be alert and prepare for battle!"

He stood up, took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted to a fighting state. Nidalee nodded slightly, then took off her javelin and looked forward as well.

Then, they saw three ogres, nearly five meters tall, rushing down the mountain with uprooted trees as clubs. "Roar!"

They had sparse black hair, brown skin and messy body hair. They were fat and broad with huge bellies. Their lower bodies were covered only with a pieced-together animal skin armor. They looked like a group of crazy primitive people!

Seeing this, Hawthorne's pupils suddenly shrank.

This is actually the ogre's lair?

We are actually resting in a place like this?

No, as a hunter, Nidalee would actually take us to a place like this to rest?

He couldn't help but use the remaining part of his eyes

Just a quick glance over there, I saw the female druid shouting anxiously, "It's an ogre! Damn it! Don't fight them head-on. Hide in the woods first. They are too big to walk in the woods!"

As she spoke, she retreated first, running all the way to the woods behind, and in the blink of an eye she had distanced herself from them.

Damn, there is something wrong with this woman!

He gritted his teeth secretly, but did not get angry for the time being. He roared, "Do as she says," then turned around and ran towards the woods behind!

It was just that human legs, even with the blessing of "long stride running", could not outrun the four or five meter tall ogre. The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly, and even Hawthorne could hear the sound of them swallowing saliva!

However, he was not panicked at all. If there were only three of them, it was not impossible to deal with them.

Even if there is only Nidalee, after sufficient maneuvering, maybe she can kill them!

Ogres have always been low in intelligence, and their lifestyle is primitive and barbaric. They fight with their rough and thick skin and the overwhelming strength of their arms: they don't even know how to make weapons, they only pick up sticks everywhere, and even if they pick up metal weapons, they will either throw them away or swallow them because they don't understand what they are!

If it weren't for their size advantage, they would have been extinct long ago.

Therefore, as long as we take advantage of the terrain and use a little trick, it is not impossible to kill them all here!

For example, use the woods out back!

Chapter 131 The situation is tense

With this thought in mind, Hawthorne ran all the way into the woods, then turned around and faced the ogres rushing down the mountain. He retreated in small steps while estimating the distance.

Jutta and Cuibis also rushed into the woods, and then patiently waited for the right time to act. When the first ogre pushed aside the branches and landed in the woods with difficulty, Hawthorne suddenly raised his hand, and the dark power from the Shadow Underworld was released, wrapping around the guy.

Curse the sword!

This was the first time he had used this ability since he changed his job to Curse Swordsman. It was because the other enemies in the past were not worth it.

But now, I have to give it my all!

The range of the curse sword's curse was thirty meters, which was relatively safe. He had to control it well, otherwise it would be difficult to kill such a huge monster with just the power of the magic energy explosion.

The gloomy curse power penetrated into the ogre's body, and the huge guy shuddered immediately. Then, Hawthorne took two steps back, drew the storm hammer from his waist, injected magic power into it, swung his arms, and threw it forward -

whoosh-

boom--!

"Ugh—!"

The square hammer with electric light flew out and hit the ogre's forehead. The terrifying energy exploded, and the guy let out a painful roar from his throat, startling countless birds and causing the surrounding animals to run away desperately.

Then, the big guy knelt on one knee, holding on to the branch next to him so that he didn't fall down completely, but his eyes were full of stars and he was already dizzy!

Great, now it's a sitting duck!

The hammer head flew back into his hand. Hawthorne put it back into his waist without wasting a moment. He raised his hands, made hand gestures, and drew two circular magic circles in the air. Two energy beams shot out.

bang bang-

Two bursts of magic energy hit the ogre's body accurately, creating two deep blood pits on it. Although this guy had thick skin and only suffered some superficial injuries, looking at its ugly face, Hawthorne knew that the effect of the curse sword curse had been activated, and its internal organs were being eroded by the dark power!

"Huh! Huh..."

The ogre growled, slowly regained consciousness, and climbed up again. Hawthorne took small steps back and continued to shoot, intending to wear him down slowly in this way.

Then he saw the ogre turn around, pick up a large rock from the river behind him, and pretend to throw it at him!

hiss……

Done!

At this moment, the distance between them was only fifty meters, and with the ogre's strength, he could easily throw the stone over.

He suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, swaying his body from side to side, preparing to dodge. His mana had been completely depleted, and he didn't even have enough to cast a shield spell, so he could only dodge or use these protective spells on his body to resist!

At this moment, Cuibisi suddenly raised her hand, and a beam of emerald green light shot out and hit the guy's body!

Suddenly, the poison corroded its internal organs, and the ogre's body trembled. His arms, which were about to exert force, became limp and lost their direction.

click-

The stone fell, breaking countless branches and stirring up countless dust. Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to retreat in small steps, while the magic energy in his hand continued to explode and continue shooting.

bang bang-

The ogre was so huge and fat, and it was difficult for him to move in the dense forest. He was also poisoned by Cuibisi. His face looked as ugly as if he had drunk sulfuric acid. Even if he stood up, he was still just a sitting duck.

"Uh oh..."

The ogre began to wail, and Hawthorne seemed to see that the blood bar above its head was decreasing bit by bit. Although the amount was very small each time, it accumulated over time and was still an absolutely fatal injury!

Very good, it doesn’t have much life left, a few more shots will definitely kill it!

He maintained a stable output on this side, and on the other side,

Uta was like a bird, using magic to sprint and jump lightly between the tree trunks.

She made a big circle and ran to the back, behind the farthest ogre. Then she suddenly leaped up, spinning her body rapidly in mid-air, using her magic power to condense into a slender blade in the air, and slashed at the back of the guy's neck.

laugh--!

"Roar--!"

Hot blood gushed out and the ogre let out a shrill scream, but the nerve connection between his brain and body had been severed, so his knees went weak and his huge body weighing over a ton fell to the ground!

"Good job!"

Behind her, Nidalee exclaimed in praise, then took a deep breath, gathered her magic power on her spear, and threw it forward with all her strength—

laugh--!

"Roar--"

The javelin pierced through the rough skin of the last ogre and stabbed deep into his chest, causing him to roar in pain.

"drink--!"

She roared again and leaped forward. When she landed, her body had turned into a beautiful female leopard. Then, she kicked the ground with all four limbs at the same time, and her body accelerated again. After crossing a distance of several dozen meters, she leaped and pounced on the guy's head, waving her two front paws -

laugh--

Her sharp claws slashed the ogre's eyes, causing him to shed tears of blood. The ogre roared in pain, and tried to fight back with the huge club in his right hand. He swung it hard, but it hit the tree trunk on the other side, causing wood chips to fly everywhere, but Nidalee was unharmed!

The guy who turned into a female leopard leaped back and steadily distanced himself from the blind guy. Then he changed back into human form, turned around and shot another spear, piercing his belly!

"what--!"

The guy let out a low wail again. At this moment, Hawthorne had finished his work, so he fired a few more magic blasts at it. Cuibis also fired another disease ray, and the guy's huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no sound anymore.

At this point, the outcome has been decided.

Nidalee leaped into the female leopard and landed next to Hawthorne. She then transformed back into human form and said with emotion, "The four of us are so powerful! Normally, I would have to fight for a long time to defeat such an enemy!"

She looked happy that she had survived a disaster, but Hawthorne looked at her coldly, raised his hand suddenly, and the dark energy of the underworld intertwined into a long sword, and then pointed it directly at her throat: "Don't move!"

Nidalee was startled, then quickly raised her hands and said, "I surrender. Let me make it clear in advance that I really don't have any ill intentions!"
