From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 166 I Subdued the Toad King... No, I Went to the Wrong Set

"The rotting corpses, the disgusting slime everywhere, and the stench."

Lann couldn't smell the smell because of Triss's herbal medicine, but his witcher senses could still "see" the stench—there was a thick red mist in sight.

"This is his lair."

Lan En squatted down, and lightly picked a trace of the monster with the tip of his sword: "It's still very fresh, it just left, and it's nearby."

Neither of them was in the mood to wait for the monster to come back here obediently. After all, there was a second round of tonight's action, so they needed to lure the monster back artificially.

According to Chapelle's information that "monsters like blood and wine", Lan looked around and quickly sifted through several relatively fresh corpses.

These are "blood".

"It can be regarded as revenge for you, thank you for your contribution, please rest in peace."

Lan touched his chest with his right hand, and prayed in a low voice under Triss's strange eyes.

After politely ending the respect for the dead, Lann took out several barrels of spirits that had already been stored in the [item], and poured them vigorously on the corpses.

There is also "wine".

The pungent smell of alcohol mixed with the disgusting smell of blood immediately filled the entire space.

Lan still thinks all this is not enough, he walked to the middle of his nose, looked at the several passages connecting this transit point, and raised his hand to write a few [Alder's seals], setting off a hurricane to disperse these smells, hoping to spread the smell as much as possible expand the scope of dissemination.

And Triss saw Lann, who was busy with work, finally show a smile, spit out a few syllables quickly and briefly, and soon there was romance.

This wind was not as strong as Lann's [Alder's Sign], but it was continuous and quickly spread to every corner of the underground passage with the smell of blood and wine.

Seeing the witcher look back in surprise, Triss raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "The method of a warlock."

Lan En said with a smile: "It seems that you will give me a few more lessons after you go back."

Time passed by, the two didn't wait too long, and soon they heard the sound of a giant beating from the pipe in the southeast corner.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of dense squeaks began one after another, and countless rats escaped from the pipe. The rat swarm that spewed out at that moment almost blocked the pipe, and they panicked.

Looking at the rodent rushing towards him, Lan frowned slightly, a regular [Igni Sign], the mana value jumped by single digits.

The cone-shaped stream of fire erupted, startling the rats to scream even louder.

Before Lan could add another [Igni Sign] to the mice, a thunderous frog cry began to echo, covering the voices of the mice.

The stench that even Triss' herbs could not cover began to pour out.

Lion Lion's pupils shrank, and he reflexively cast a [Quen Seal] on himself. In the next second, a ball of mucus spewed in his direction at a speed comparable to that of a catapult, and it dissipated in an instant. The fire wave ejected from his regular power [Igni Sign] hit him hard.

With a "bang", the [Explosion Shield] exploded, and Lan was sent flying several meters away by the impact of the seal. He rolled on the ground a few times before standing up, looking at the ball of mucus with lingering fear. .

If he was hit, it would be another matter of the seriousness of the damage, but the psychological shadow would definitely be big enough.

Changing hands, he swiped another [Quen's Seal] for himself, Lan En watched a huge figure slowly pacing in the darkness.

It staggered and moved slowly, but it was tall, and it was two heads taller than Lann just by curling up.

Moreover, it was covered with dense and disgusting tumors, and it continuously sprayed out poisonous pus.

The monster pacing out of the darkness opened its mouth. The whole mouth opened into four petals like the mutated zombie Lann had seen in his previous life, and each petal had criss-crossed sharp teeth.

Immediately afterwards, a long tongue with a speed comparable to that of an arrow was ejected from the middle of the four-petal mouth, and the corpses stained with spirits were immediately drawn into the mouth, and the huge body shook, as if the whole body was exerting force together. chewing.

Lan En grinned: "It seems that you really like wine."

While the monster's thoughts were still in his mouth, Lann sprinted forward like a galloping horse and pulled into the distance. When the other party raised his eyes and looked at him, Lan En raised his hand with white light.

[Yakesi Seal] + [Charm]!
A monster of this size is almost boss-level, and it may even be stronger than the horned demon that he dealt with before. The mental confusion will not last long.

But Lan just needed a fleeting opportunity.

After quickly closing the distance, he immediately lowered his body and patted the ground, causing the purple light to begin to flicker in the darkness.

【Yarden Seal】!
Just as Prince Toad realized that he wanted to attack Lan, the long tongue that stuck out turned purple, and the trajectory of the movement could be caught by the naked eye.

Lann kept stepping and dodging, like a piece of paper, began to dodge with the swing of Prince Toad's tongue, and from time to time he used the Lake Maiden's sword to block and borrow.

He is restraining the enemy at this moment, the purpose is to create opportunities for the female sorceress behind him.

The warlock who sat firmly in the back, with enough time to chant the spell, had a lethal power that was incomparable to swords and swords.

After Prince Toad appeared, Triss found a dark corner away from the battlefield.She fully trusted the demon hunter in front of her, so the rhythm of chanting the incantation was extraordinarily steady, and soon a torrent of astonishingly hot flames began to condense around her.

"Lan, get out of the way!"

Hearing the reminder from the sorceress, Lane immediately knew that the time had come, and made a last touch of [Arden's Sign] on the ground, and then deliberately hit the toad's tongue.

The huge impact immediately poured on Lan En's body. With the second shattering of the [Quen Seal], Lan En seemed to be hit by a giant with a soft hammer wrapped in a huge amount of sponge, and he flew upside down. out.

In the next second, the flames around Triss began to collide violently, and two torrents of flames thicker than a human rushed out, rushing towards Prince Toad with astonishing momentum, wrapping him tightly in the in.

"Boom!" It was as if a war drum fell from a high place, and the muffled sound with a sense of tearing caused Lan En's eardrums to hurt.

Looking up, the tumors on the giant toad's body were roasted and exploded by the flames, and the originally moist skin was also cracked in large areas at this moment, like a piece of scorched wood.

"Boom!" A violent shock came from under the feet of Prince Toad, and then a huge figure rose from the ground like a shell!

In the previous game, Prince Toad's attack methods are very varied. In addition to the unresponsive tongue whip attack, there are also unstoppable slime and venom attacks, as well as rapid bounce and impact that urges the whole body and Mount Tarzan.

Because it is humanized, the toad subconsciously does not adapt to four legs when walking, which leads to the initial toddler posture.But the strength of those four limbs is not a joke. Combined with that huge body, it is not enough to describe its momentum of bouncing and hitting.

But Lan was not in the slightest panic at the moment.

The threat of life made Prince Toad scramble left and right to break through the shackles of this flame, but he didn't know that the area where it was located was the place with the least flames.The entire open space has long been covered with torrents of flames, and it rotates rapidly around the toad, forming a tornado of flames.

It was all because Lan wanted to capture Prince Toad alive, so Triss kept the door alive.

At this moment, Prince Toad took the initiative to jump up, as if he had jumped into the sea of ​​fire, from charcoal roasting to roasting, and he was sucked into the fire tornado with a "croak".

The only sound left on the whole clearing was the whistling wind and the raging fire.

Seeing this panic, Triss hurriedly dissipated the magic power that controlled the flames in her hands.The flame tornado remained in place for a full ten seconds before it exploded, turning into a billowing heat wave and spreading towards the surroundings.

The underground open space, which was originally filled with mucus, corpses, garbage, etc., has turned into colorful black at the moment, except for the big toad-shaped black thing in the middle, there is no life at all.

Lann backhanded himself another Quen, then used [Alder's Sign] to break away from the oncoming fire wave, and approached the toad prince who looked like a scorched wood cautiously.

With a "woo", there was a violent piercing sound, and Lan En's physical reaction exceeded the speed of thinking, and he immediately put the Lake Lady's sword on his chest.

He felt as if he was stabbed in the front with a spear by a cavalryman who was fully charged, and he almost let go of his hand to let the long sword fly out.

It's Prince Toad's tongue.

The tongue was stained with a sufficient amount of mucus, and the next second Lann felt an irresistible pull from his hand, and his whole body was taken aback.

Looking up again, he only saw that his sword of the lake girl was stuck into Prince Toad's mouth by the heel's tongue.

What the hell!

With a "puchi", the glowing sword tip emerged from Prince Toad's lower lip.The huge body froze suddenly, tense and motionless.

Lann hurriedly raised his hand to make the [Axie Seal] to make the Prince Toad completely quiet and prevent him from continuing to chew the silver sword in his mouth desperately.

The magic power in the body continued to pour out continuously to maintain the status quo, that is to say, the monster had been seriously injured by the flames, so Lan could control it like this.

After rehearsing countless times of cooperation in her heart, Triss trotted forward and opened her arms, a skilled spell sounded, and the body of the giant toad began to tremble continuously, and then began to shrink and shrink in an unreasonable way until it became a giant toad. A jade sculpture the size of a leather ball.

[Encapsulation Technique], success.

This monster, which is equivalent to a small boss, was captured just like that.Not to mention, such a huge and ferocious monster is still ugly and cute after being shrunk down.

But Lan En looked at the small pointed protrusion under the jade carving with a tangled face: "My sword..."

"It's okay, Lan." Triss was a little amused, but pressed her upturned lips forcefully, "I can undo the [Encapsulation] and cast it again after you draw your sword. This spell The cast and release itself will inflict intense pain on the caster, depriving them of their mobility, so there is no need to worry about fighting breaking out again."

Lane could only nod.

Under the moonlight of the skylight, a black shadow the size of a leather ball suddenly swelled in the open space, and the screams of "Gu Gu" rang out intermittently.

But with the sound of "噗嗤", the huge black shadow became quiet, and then the black shadow shrank again until it became a ball.

Lann grabbed the cloak he had brought over temporarily, and wiped the dirt on the Lake Maiden's Sword with distaste.With a wave of his hand, he put Prince Toad's jade carving into the 【Inventory】.

This is the second benefit of [Encapsulation Art], the jade carvings formed by the spell are considered "items" and can be stored in one's own personal space.

Triss stepped forward to check Lann's body. She saw that Lann had been knocked into the air several times before, and she was very worried because she didn't understand the principle of [Burst Shield].

After confirming that the witcher was not injured, the sorceress let out a long sigh of relief.

"Is your magic power enough, do you want to meditate for a while?"
