The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Rumble!
The thunder and lightning that fell from the sky precisely bombarded the back of the Red-scaled Crocodile. Compared with the previous wind blade attack, this thunder finally caused some damage to the Red-scaled Crocodile.

However, at the same time, it also succeeded in angering the giant beast.

Roar!
However, the red-scaled crocodile roared, and the terrifying sound wave spread like a tide, like some kind of order, making the entire green swamp boil.

In an instant, hundreds of alligators emerged from the mud.

The hag holding a spear let out a piercing cry, and took advantage of the environment to attack the surrounding knights and transcendents.

shhhhhh!
The spears shot out went straight to the two big families. However, the attacks of these lowly creatures could not pose too much threat to the extraordinary.

"Clean up these miscellaneous fish first!"

Gina said in a cold voice, raised her hands slightly, and the wind was strong all over her body, whizzing away like a tornado, and the two hags were swept up into the air wherever they went.

Immediately afterwards, the knights on the giant tree bent their bows and took arrows.

laugh!
The arrows fired quickly hit the hearts of the two hags precisely. For the senior knights, the threat of these hags was really limited.

If it wasn't for the swamp, maybe three high-ranking knights would be enough to drive this group of hags to extinction.

Seemingly feeling threatened, the hags drove the crocodile into the mud one after another, and then attacked the giant tree from below the swamp.

Following the bite of the crocodiles, the trees in the swamp shook.

"Damn!"

Under the frenzied bite of the crocodiles, a huge tree collapsed, and the knight standing on it changed his face, and unexpectedly fell into the mud.

brush!
Seeing the knights of the Tanya family fall into the mud, all the crocodiles swam at the fastest speed, biting them frantically and violently.

"White Scale!"

The knight fell into the swamp, and suddenly let out a roar, white scales appeared on his whole body, as if they were harder than steel.

Click!

A crocodile opened its mouth wide and bit the knight's arm, but failed to pierce the skin. Instead, the knight grabbed its head and pressed it violently into the mud.

"Cole, come up!"

The companion threw out a long whip, trying to pull the knight named Cole up, but at this moment, several more alligators attacked Cole one after another.

The crocodiles bit Cole's limbs and dragged him into the depths of the swamp.

Even a high-level knight, in the deep swamp, can hardly exert his full strength, and struggles constantly, but it is difficult to escape the bite of the devil crocodiles.

Not long after, the knight named Cole disappeared into the swamp.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people suddenly became more vigilant. Salman's face remained unchanged, and he did not feel sad at all for losing a subordinate.

Salman has no interest in those crocodiles and hags.

At this moment, he only had eyes on the Crimson Scaled Crocodile. If he could be accepted as a magic pet, then the fate of Salmand might also usher in a major turning point.

Beyond the green swamp, in the bushes.

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the scuffle in the green swamp, not intending to intervene in the slightest, not to mention the astonishing destructive power of that red-scaled crocodile.

Even the group of devil crocodiles and hags are very difficult things for him.

Therefore, in the current situation, for Sauron, it is the best choice to wait and see. Regardless of whether Salman and Gina can kill the red-scaled crocodile, Sauron can benefit from it.

The Crimson Scale Crocodile is particularly powerful, even if Salman and Gina can kill it, they will suffer heavy losses.

When the time comes, Sauron will take advantage of the opportunity to make a move, which will definitely benefit the fisherman, and if the Crimson Scale Crocodile kills all the enemies in this confrontation, then it is also impossible for it to be intact.

As the saying goes, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, Sauron is determined to make a move at the last moment this time.

The green swamp was constantly turbulent, and alligators and hags were swimming in the mud like fish in water. On the other hand, it was difficult for the knights of the Tanya family to display 100% combat effectiveness in such an environment.

"Kaqier, you go!"

Salman stood on the branch, looking at the red-scaled crocodile not far away, and gave the order in a cold voice, and the only big knight among the crowd nodded immediately.

"Understood, master!"

The middle-aged man Kaqier took a deep breath, the power of the life seed in his body exploded, his whole body was covered with dark brown scales, and two lumps of sarcoma seemed to grow on his shoulders behind him.

The next moment, he suddenly jumped towards the Red Scaled Crocodile.

The two lumps of sarcoma behind him also exploded in an instant, twisting organs similar to wings appeared, and the constant trembling made Kazier seem to have gained a short-term gliding ability.

Kaqir landed on the back of the Red Scaled Crocodile, and then quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist.

However, he raised the short knife and cut through the palm of his hand suddenly. The moment the blood touched the sharp blade, it seemed to burn like a flame.

Immediately afterwards, Kaqir slashed at the Red Scaled Crocodile.

Stab it!

The short knife burning with flames slashed across the back of the Red Scaled Crocodile, and the crimson scales couldn't stop it, and stinky blood gushed out immediately.

Roar!
The red-scaled crocodile roared, and the thick tail behind it swung violently.

"Uh!"

Kaqier's face changed. The speed of the red-scaled crocodile was so fast that even the big knight didn't react. He was caught in the spiked tail and flew out directly.

Pfft!
Kazir fell into the mud, Salman frowned slightly, and just wanted to help, but at this moment, the red-scaled crocodile plunged into the swamp and rushed straight to Kazir.

"Get out of the way!" Salman shouted.

However, it was too late.

The Crimson Scale Crocodile opened its mouth wide, swallowing its Kaqir in just a split second, and the great knight suddenly opened his arms to stop it.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking was heard in vain, and the bite force of the Red Scaled Crocodile was astonishing. Kaqier couldn't stop it at all, and could only let out a scream and was crushed alive.

"So strong?"

In the distance, Sauron witnessed everything that happened in the green swamp with the vision of the crow Lal. Even the great knight seemed like a brittle bone in front of the red-scaled crocodile.

Seeing that Calci was buried in the mouth of the crocodile, the knights of the Tanlia family all looked very ugly.

The rest of the knights are only high-level knights. Even if they practice the black fire breathing method, they are far behind Kaqier, who is a great knight.

Now, even Kaqier was swallowed by the Crimson Scaled Crocodile if he was a little careless.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the other knights. A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of several people, but they dared not show it because of Salman's majesty.

"Damn beast!"

Salman's face was gloomy, and he suddenly let out a low drink, and his figure twisted again, as if turning into a three-meter-high dragon beast monster covered with dark brown scales.

The next moment, he raised his arms.

On the arm that no longer looks like a human hand, the scales seemed to explode one after another, which looked particularly ferocious. As Salman uttered syllables, the scales turned into sharp blades and shot away.

The Red Scaled Crocodile was entrenched in the swamp and did not resist Salman's offensive.

It let the scales shoot at itself, and with its powerful defense, it resisted all the attacks, and then opened its bloody mouth, spitting out a ball of blazing flames.

Salman's expression changed.

boom!
The blazing flames hit, and the giant tree collapsed. Salman jumped up decisively, and jumped to another place at the moment the giant tree collapsed.

"Spell ability?"

Outside the green swamp, Sauron was thoughtful. It seemed that the Crimson Scaled Crocodile was not only physically strong, but had even awakened some magical abilities.

The flames spit out by the opponent just now were enough to melt steel.

"Master, I'm coming!"

As Salman escaped the attack of the Red Scaled Crocodile, the quasi-shaman of the Tanya family also showed a trace of solemnity on his face, and then jumped down from the tree and fell straight into the swamp.

Immediately, a group of devil crocodiles quickly attacked.

However, the quasi-shaman of the Tanya family did not rush, took out a scroll from his bosom, quickly tore it open, and the khaki-yellow light spread in the swamp.

In an instant, the swamp seemed to turn into hard ground.

The crocodiles were trapped in place one after another. The knights of the Tanya family saw the timing and jumped down from the trees one after another, massacring the hags and crocodiles around them.

After losing the advantage of the environment, the crocodile and the hag are by no means opponents of the senior knights.

However, after using the power of the witchcraft scroll, the quasi-shaman of the Tanya family also turned pale. It was obvious that changing the swamp environment was an extremely burdensome thing for him.

"Wind flurry!"

At this moment, Gina also jumped down from the tree. While waving the wand in her hand, the gust of wind turned into sharp blades, and rushed towards the red-scaled crocodile.

Brush brush!
The wind blade swept the Crimson Scale Crocodile, and hit the opponent's body, leaving some small scars, although considering the Crimson Scale Crocodile's huge size, this may not be a big deal.

However, the offensive just now was just the beginning.

"Mr. Fran, it's up to you."

Gina stepped back, distanced herself from the Red Scaled Crocodile, and looked aside at the same time. The quasi-Umfarlan of the Campbell family nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Fran opened his mouth and exhaled a cloud of dark green mist.

The mist seemed to be highly poisonous, floating around the Red Scaled Crocodile, causing its wounds to corrode continuously, as if it was gradually festering.

Moreover, this poison is not only corrosive, but more frightening is that it can paralyze nerves.

The wounds all over the body continued to fester, but the Red Scaled Crocodile didn't feel too much pain. It didn't let out an angry roar until its body became sluggish.

Immediately afterwards, the Crimson Scaled Crocodile roared and rushed towards Fran.

"Ah!"

Fran Zhunwu chuckled, but his body dissipated like smoke. The Red Scaled Crocodile flew into the air, with nowhere to vent its anger, and swung its huge tail violently.

Bang!
Two senior knights of the Tanlia family were accidentally knocked into the air by the tail of the red-scaled crocodile. After falling to the ground, they vomited blood and found it difficult to get up.

At the same time, Gina also shot again.

Compared with the Tanya family's bloodline witchcraft, the Campbell family is famous for their elemental witchcraft. Even as a third-level apprentice, Gina is proficient in five series of runes.

"The ice is broken!"

Gina raised her hands, and a huge ice crystal appeared in front of her. With a burst, the ice crystal turned into countless tiny fragments and shot forward.

shhhhhh!
The blade-like ice crystals hit the Crimson Scale Crocodile, making a fierce sound, and more blood flowed from the corroded wounds.

"Be careful, don't get close to this monster!"

Gina said coldly, at this moment, after losing the advantage of the swamp environment, the red-scaled crocodile seems to have become half of the burden instead of its huge size.

Seeing this scene, all the quasi-shamans activated the power of runes one after another.

All kinds of attacks hit the Crimson Scaled Crocodile, aggravating its injuries. Seeing this, Sauron, who had been hiding outside the green swamp, felt a slight thought flicker in his mind.

It seems that although this red-scaled crocodile has evolved into a first-order monster, it cannot exert 100% of its combat power.

The opponent has been relying heavily on environmental advantages before, so it is particularly difficult to deal with.

But now, the swamp has turned into flat land, and those devil crocodiles and hags who are the claws of the red-scaled crocodile dragon are trapped underground and cannot move.

The Red Scaled Crocodile was besieged by many quasi-witches, and its injuries became more and more serious.

Roar!
At this moment, the Crimson Scaled Crocodile suddenly let out a roar, and the invisible force spread out, sweeping the surroundings as if turning into a blazing flame.

In an instant, the ground cracked.

The silt and muddy liquid surged up, and the flat land turned into a swamp again. The Crimson Scaled Crocodile opened its mouth wide and rushed forward.

"Get out of the way!"

Gina shouted loudly, Fran thought about it, and a gust of wind emerged behind him, directly rolling him into the air.

However, right now.

The Crimson Scaled Crocodile suddenly spit out a ball of fire, blasting into the air like a furnace, Fran's face changed, and he quickly cast a spell to condense the shield around him.

Bang!
The blazing fireball whizzed away, and in just an instant, it shattered the energy shield condensed by Fran, and the quasi-shaman who was swallowed by the flames let out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, Frank fell from mid-air.

Gina's face was gloomy. Among the quasi-witches under her command, Fran was the strongest, but now, after enduring the fireball attack of the Red Scaled Crocodile, her life and death might be uncertain.

"Tangled with thorns!"

At the same time, another quasi-witch of the Campbell family did not stop attacking after Fran fell, summoning thorns and vines to attack the Crimson Scaled Crocodile.

Brush brush!
The thorns and vines are like poisonous snakes, restraining the whole body of the red-scaled crocodile, and the sharp barbs, along the gaps in the scales of the red-scaled crocodile, are about to penetrate into the flesh and blood.

"Death to me!"

The quasi-witch of the Campbell family had a ferocious expression on his face, and his whole figure twisted for a while, as if he had turned into a treant. He waved his arms and went straight to attack the red-scaled crocodile.

But at this moment, the Red Scaled Crocodile roared again.

The whole body exudes blazing high temperature, as if turning into a raging flame, and amidst the roar of the red-scaled crocodile, it turns into a giant flame beast.

The quasi-witch of the Campbell family was caught off guard and was immediately injured by the high temperature.

But at this time, Salman's eyes flashed, relying on the power of blood witchcraft, he went straight to the Red Scale Crocodile, took out a scroll and tore it open.

"Become my magic pet!"

A gleam of light flashed in Salman's eyes, and the torn scroll seemed to emit invisible light, turning into a brand and landing on the Crimson Scale Crocodile. (end of this chapter)
