The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Around, several quasi-witches shot one after another.

However, with their abilities, it is obviously very difficult to cause harm to the Red Scaled Blood Snake, and as the crowd attacked, the Red Scaled Blood Snake became more and more manic.

sizzle!
Suddenly, the Red Scaled Blood Snake let out a piercing hiss, and then, it broke free from the shackles around it, its fangs and bloody mouth opened in vain, and a fiery flame turned into rain and swayed towards the surroundings.

In an instant, the faces of the quasi-witches changed drastically.

"Get out of the way!"

Cage roared, and stepped back quickly. However, even with his speed, it was too late, and under the burning of the flame, his body melted like a candle.

Suddenly, Cage let out a scream.

However, under the flame attack of the Red Scaled Blood Snake, Cage was only injured, and the other quasi-witches around were obviously not so lucky.

The two quasi-witches were burned by the flames and turned into ashes on the spot.

In the distance, a gloomy look flashed in Zakkar's eyes. The red-scaled blood snake was indeed a creature with the blood of the gods, and its combat power was indeed terrifying.

Even if extraordinary people formed a small team, it would be difficult to control them.

And with a round of flame offensive, the state of the Red Scaled Blood Snake seemed to become a lot weaker, and the luster in those blood-red vertical pupils was slightly dimmed.

"Fight!"

Seeing this scene, Zakar's face showed a trace of determination, and immediately used his magic ability again, turned into a tree demon and rushed towards the red-scaled blood snake.

Seeing Zakar trying his best, a glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of the quasi-shamans around him.

In this battle to besiege the Red Scaled Blood Snake, Zakar, as a wizard, is a well-deserved main force. If everyone wants to win, they can only rely on the power of the wizard.

Roar!
Seeing Zakar attacking again in the form of a tree demon, a flash of anger flashed in the eyes of the red-scaled blood snake. It suddenly arched its body, opened its fangs and spit out a ball of extremely hot flames.

Zakar gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

The extremely hot flames directly penetrated Zakar's body, but even so, he still insisted on not retreating.

Zakar, in the form of a tree demon, has very low resistance to flames.

Therefore, bearing the attack of the red-scaled blood snake, he felt great pain, but the moment he got close to the red-scaled blood snake, Zakar waved his hands violently.

In an instant, the ten fingers struck like vines.

Brush brush!
The vines covered with thorns and thorns quickly restrained the red-scaled blood snake in place. Zakar, who was in the form of a tree demon, opened his mouth and shot out needles like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.

rub rub!
The thorns that were like steel needles pierced through the scales of the red-scaled blood snake, and the blood splattered on the ground, and Zakar's eyes flashed with joy.

"Success!"

Zakar couldn't hide the throbbing in his heart, and his figure twisted for a while. After finally inflicting damage on the Red Scaled Blood Snake, he didn't hesitate on the [-]th.

The next moment, Zakar's eyes flickered with a faint light.

However, strange energy gathered, as if turning into endless dark green rays of light, and finally formed a shock wave, heading straight for the red-scaled blood snake.

boom!
The dark green shock wave whizzed away, swallowing the red-scaled blood snake in an instant. The power of Zakar's attack, which exhausted his magic power, was naturally not to be underestimated.

"Haha! Go to hell!"

Zakar let out a sneer, he was at least [-]% sure in his heart that after the red-scaled blood snake suffered the attack he just had, it would be seriously injured even if it survived.

However, as the dust and smoke dissipated.

The place was already in a mess, and as far as the eye could see, the red-scaled blood snake had disappeared, leaving only a faded snake skin in place.

Zakar frowned slightly.

At this time, there was a scream not far away, but the red-scaled blood snake broke out from the ground and directly swallowed a quasi-witch into its belly.

"Not dead yet?"

There was a flash of astonishment in Zakar's eyes, but then he discovered something unusual. After the red-scaled blood snake suffered his full-strength magic attack, although it was not dead, it was also seriously injured.

Therefore, it can only survive by molting its skin.

At this moment, in order to regain its strength as soon as possible, the Red Scaled Blood Snake decisively ate a quasi-witch, and then quickly fled in the direction of the Red God Temple.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

There was a trace of coldness on Zakar's face, and another spell struck while waving his hand, but was dodged flexibly by the Red Scaled Blood Snake.

The next moment, the red-scaled blood snake turned into a red shadow and slipped into the cave next to the Red Temple.

Zakar's eyes flickered slightly. The Red Scaled Blood Snake had been seriously injured, and it seemed that it was not easy to recover in a short time. This seemed to mean that the Red God Temple in front of him was within easy reach.

At the same time, the team formed before seems to have no need to exist.

Thinking of this, Zakar smiled sinisterly.

brush!
However, before he could take any action, a figure had rushed into the Red God Temple. It was the quasi-witch Cage who had been disfigured by the fire.

"Master Cage?"

Not far away, a wandering apprentice was a little at a loss, but then he reacted and rushed towards the Red God Temple, but before he got close, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

But he saw a thorny vine that had pierced his body.

"you!!"

The wandering apprentice looked pale and looked in Zakar's direction. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

Zakar was expressionless, looking around.

As if feeling the murderous intent in Zakar's eyes, the wandering apprentices woke up one after another, and went straight to the Red God Temple, and several people entered the temple in an instant.

"What the Red God left behind belongs to me!"

Zakar's tone was cold, and with a wave of his hand, the thorns were thrown out like a whip, knocking several wandering apprentices into the air, and at the same time, he also quickly entered the temple of the Red God.

After the Red Scaled Blood Snake escaped just now, Cage reacted the fastest.

Even before Zakar could react, the opponent had already entered the temple of the Red God. Now, it is too late for Zakar to stop the opponent.

Therefore, everyone can only rely on their own abilities.

As an official wizard, Zakar is very confident in himself, and can get the precious resources in the Red God Temple before Cage and others.

At the same time, Sauron has also entered the Red Temple.

After the red-scaled blood snake was seriously injured by the surrounding barriers, it was no longer able to stop everyone. Sauron entered the temple of the Red God and looked around quickly.

"Controlling the spirit!"

At the same time, Sauron uttered syllables and used the spirit-controlling rune to summon several wraiths and ordered them to explore the Red God Temple from different directions.

As for Sauron, he moved forward cautiously.

However, at this moment.

Rumble!
Suddenly there was a sound like a collapse on the ground, and Sauron's face changed, but it was too late to dodge, and he fell into the cave like an underground passage.

The feeling of falling is very strong.

But after only a few seconds, Sauron fell to the ground. Relying on the physique of a great knight, he was not injured, but came to a pitch-black area.

Sauron looked around and saw darkness.

"Eagle Eyes!"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and the rune power flickered in the sea of ​​consciousness. Only then did he see the surrounding environment clearly, and found that he seemed to have come to an underground cave-like area.

"Under the Temple of the Red God?"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes, and he forced himself to calm down. The Red God Temple was a place where the Red God Church worshiped the Red God thousands of years ago.

No one knew what was going on in the temple.

All I know is that since the red-scaled blood snake has been guarding here, it seems to mean that there must be something good in the temple of the Red God.

Sauron pondered for a moment, then walked forward.

The surrounding environment was pitch black, but relying on the power of runes, Sauron could see everything clearly. His fingers touched the surrounding rock walls, and a look of thought appeared on his face.

At this time, Sauron stopped.

He looked at the wall and found that there were many patterns carved on it, which looked like murals, telling what happened thousands of years ago.

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly.

The murals on the wall are divided into three parts. The first part depicts a big snake entrenched in the wilderness, surrounded by many humans crawling on the ground.

In the second mural, many ancient people gathered next to the big snake and built a huge temple.

The third mural, perhaps to please the big snake, selected some sacrifices from those humans, cut off their heads and placed them in the temple.

It has been thousands of years since the Red Mysterious Realm.

Therefore, the murals here are also somewhat mottled, but based on the above content, Sauron can guess its general meaning.

According to legend, the body of the ancient red god is a big snake.

As a god, it has a brutal character, and believers respect him less than they fear him, but due to the gap in strength, they must always sacrifice to the red god.

In ancient times, the way of offering sacrifices was also very cruel.

The simplest way is to please the Red God with blood and life. The ancient Red God believers in the murals selected many tribesmen to offer sacrifices to the Red God, and cut off their heads and sent them to the temple.

On the spot, Sauron shook his head.

The ancient red god was so cruel, like a wild beast, no wonder the saint Elsa sealed him up after he came to the world.

Afterwards, Sauron continued to walk forward.

Not long after, the road ahead became narrow and there were many forks. Sauron pondered for a moment, walked in one direction, and finally came to a place similar to a secret room.

"here is?"

Sauron looked around with a look of seriousness on his face.

In a place similar to a secret room, there are many bones scattered around, which seem to be human beings, and the most central area is a building similar to an altar.

There are hundreds of skulls on it.

Among the many skulls, a clay pot was placed there. It looked ordinary, but it gave people a very strange feeling.

Sauron did not act rashly.

He looked at the clay pots and the skulls in front of him, and thought flickered in his mind. If nothing else happened, these skulls should be sacrifices to the ancient red god.

Those poor mortals became victims to please the Red God.

As for the clay pot in the center, he didn't know what it was. After thinking about it for a moment, Sauron decided to take it over to find out, but when he was about to act, there was a sound of footsteps around him.

Sauron's heart moved, and he immediately hid his figure in the shadows.

Immediately afterwards, a wandering apprentice walked into the secret room, his eyes were a little fiery, and it was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for him to enter the Red God Temple.

"Is this the treasure dedicated to the Red God?"

The wandering apprentice looked around, but he didn't find Sauron in the shadows, but saw the clay pot in the center, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

Immediately, without hesitation, he quickly walked towards the pot.

The wandering apprentice had no interest in the skulls placed around the altar, so he kicked them away with his foot, and then picked up the clay pot.

"In here?"

The wandering apprentice opened the clay pot and wanted to look inside, but the next moment, his face suddenly changed, and the things in the pot turned out to be many strange little bugs.

Snapped!
The wandering apprentice accidentally dropped the pot on the ground, and with a loud noise, those sleeping weird bugs woke up one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the worms spread their wings one by one.

Like blood-sucking insects that have been hungry for thousands of years, those strange insects went straight to the wandering apprentice, and fell on his arm like a shadow before the other party could react.

"what!!!"

The wandering apprentice let out a shrill scream, and in a blink of an eye, one arm had been eaten by the blood-sucking worms, leaving only bones.

And, those bloodsuckers are still not satisfied.

"Go away!"

The wandering apprentice roared, trying to drive away the blood-sucking insects on his body, but his legs suddenly softened, as if half of his strength had been drained.

"No!"

At this moment, a glimmer of despair flashed in the eyes of the wandering apprentice, and the flesh and blood all over his body quickly disappeared under the nibbling of the blood-sucking insects.

In the shadows in the distance, Sauron gasped.

The blood-sucking worms in the clay pot were really scary. If he had opened the pot just now, he might have been seriously injured if he was caught off guard.

Judging from the reaction of the wandering apprentice, it was obvious that bloodsuckers could not only eat flesh and blood.

If nothing else happened, they should be highly poisonous, that's why the wandering apprentice fell down and was eaten up in the end.

Not long after, the wandering apprentice just now had turned into a bone of bones.

However, just one person was obviously not enough to satisfy the appetite of the blood-sucking insects. They soon discovered Sauron in the distance, and then flew here one after another.

Sauron was expressionless, and a trace of calm flashed in his eyes.

Although he doesn't know the origin of this group of blood-sucking worms, but as an official wizard, he is fearless, and a dark green flame burns in the palm of his hand.

"Ghost fire!"

Sauron mouthed syllables and waved his hands, using ghost fire to knock down several small insects, but these blood-sucking insects seemed to be highly resistant to flames.

Suddenly, there was a pain in Sauron's arm.

However, a blood-sucking insect had already bitten on it. However, as a great knight, Sauron's body's defense ability was naturally far superior to that of a wandering apprentice, and the blood-sucking insect could not bite through the skin for a while. (end of this chapter)
