The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 312
  Soon, Allen and the others met Albian. At this time, Albian was squatting in a pool of water, picking up several bones with some carrion on them from the turbid water.

"Judging from the degree of decay of these bones, they were killed only 2-3 days ago."

There were still many corpses that had not been fished out from the pool, but everyone made a rough estimate that the number of people hiding in the swamp was probably no less than ten people, which was inconsistent with the target intelligence that Allen and the others were tracking.

"Judging from the traces they left behind, they were heading deeper into the swamp."

Albian has rich experience in tracking. Although there are not many traces left by the other party, Albian still found some clues to determine the direction of the other party.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's chase!"

Allen patted the stain on his hand, stood up and left.

They have all chased them here. Even if the other party is not the real target of their group, the signs of eating on these bones are so obvious, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in the air, which all indicate that there are traces of at least a group of demons here.

"go!"

Kaiya and Alba followed suit.

The deeper you go into the swamp, the denser the vegetation becomes. The number of trees increases significantly, while the number of shrubs is much sparser than in the periphery due to the light environment. This makes Allen and his team's field of vision much wider.

From time to time, crocodiles and pythons tried to attack Allen and the others, but they were all swiped hard by Alba's spear. When they were dizzy, these animals slunk away in despair, knowing that this group of people was not easy to deal with.

"Shhh!!!"

Suddenly, Albian, who was hiding at the front, appeared with a finger raised to his mouth, making a silencing gesture. Allen and the others quickly slowed down and hid among the surrounding tall tree trunks, trying to hide their figures and wait for Albian's detection ahead.

Soon, Albian came back with a touch of excitement on his face.

"About 300 meters ahead, there is a group of demons stationed, numbering around 21. Among them is a six-armed snake demon, and the rest are all mid-level demons such as vlo demons and horned demons."

"There are still a lot of supplies in the camp. They are covered under a few tarpaulins and guarded by a few demons. I can't get close to them. I don't know what the supplies are."

"..."

After Albian sneaked into the opponent's camp for reconnaissance, all the information about the demon team hiding in the swamp was basically collected. This is the benefit of having a shadow talent.

"How?"

This is a problem. The opponent's strength is not bad. If they fight with real swords and guns, Allen and the others may not feel guilty, but it will be a bit difficult to completely annihilate the opponent.

But it would be a pity not to completely annihilate the opponent. After all, this trip went deep into the swamp, which delayed everyone a lot of time.

"I'll take the lead, let's all fight together!!"

Alba patted his plump chest at this time and put forward his plan with confidence.

"..."

Kaiya turned her head silently, not wanting to look at Alba.

Allen and Albian were also speechless and just rubbed their foreheads and stopped talking.

"I think we can use the swamp environment to lure the opponent to the Cairo area first. Then I will use the mire technique, and you will use the swamp technique scroll to delay the opponent's movements."

"Albian is responsible for chasing down those absconding targets, and Kaia is responsible for entangling the vromon who can fly briefly..."

Richard frowned and thought for a moment, then summoned the invisible magic servant to observe the surrounding environment in mid-air, and then put forward his own suggestions.

"Alan, Alba, and I are responsible for the demons controlled by the Mire Technique."

"What do you say?"

"Can the three of you withstand it?"

Although Albian has an unpleasant personality, he still takes into account the problems of his teammates when he is really preparing for battle.

"I can help you assassinate a few opponents at the beginning of the battle."

"No, since there are supplies in the opponent's camp, even if we lure the opponent to pursue us, there will definitely be several demons who will stick to the camp. Your mission is to quickly harvest the demons in the camp after taking the main force of the demon team outside. ,is that OK?"

Richard wrote calculations on the ground and soon had a rough plan. Although it was still a bit rough, it was already thought through more carefully than Allen and the others.

"Row!"

Albian nodded and unknowingly took out the dagger and started playing with it.

"Okay, that's it."

Allen, Kaiya, and Alba all nodded, agreeing with the plan.

"In front of us on the left, there is an open swamp, so we will set the operating point there."

"go!"

As the person with the most wisdom and knowledge in the team, Richard has now become the mastermind of the team. However, Alan and Kaiya did not feel out of place at all and fell into their roles naturally.

"Alba, you go and be the bait."

Richard turned his head and said to Alba, who was tall and strong. His big body was the most attractive, so he was suitable as a bait. As Richard said, the staff flew in the air, and as a light body technique enveloped Alba, Alba's figure suddenly became a little lighter.

"it is good!"

When Alba left in high spirits, Richard was not idle. He took out several materials from his arms, and then under the influence of a mage's hand, they fell lightly into the open shallow water they chose at this time. In the middle of the beach.

Allen and Kaiya didn't know what Richard was doing. Each of them held two scrolls of quagmire magic, hiding behind the metasequoia tree trunks by the shallows, quietly waiting for the arrival of the devil.

Alba himself hadn't come back yet, but the water around the shallow beach gradually became rippled. Dozens of crocodiles and anacondas slowly swam to the shallow beach along the surrounding waterways, and then never left, as if It's like being tempted by something.

It was only then that Richard finally stopped. Several spells had been cast on himself, and even his body gradually became blurred under the cover of the cloud and mist spell. Together with Alan and Kaiya, he escaped into the light. Between the mist.

Anyway, water elements gather in this swamp, and there is white mist lingering from time to time, which is not unexpected at all.

"Puff puff……"

The splashing sound caused by the footsteps on the water grew from far to near, and Alba's fat figure of more than 2 meters high gradually became clearly visible. Behind him, a dozen demon figures were chasing Alba crazily, already treating Alba as their determined prey.

With an exaggerated look of panic on his face, Alba held up his spear and rushed toward the shallow water. When he came to the shallow water beach, the six-armed snake demon closest to him had already chased him within ten meters, and he could attack Alba any closer.

The snake demon's snake body was too advantageous in the swamp, and it was much faster than Alba's movements. Therefore, it was not expected by Alba that he would be pulled closer by the opponent. The only thing that Alba didn't expect was that when he entered near the center of the shallow water, several ferocious mouths suddenly appeared under the water, but they were the native predators Sawtooth Crocodile that Richard had used materials to lure over.

"Crack! Kick!"

"what!!"

Alba had no time to drive away the crocodiles under his feet. He could only resist the bites of the crocodiles, dragging two saw-toothed crocodiles that were biting his lower body, and continued to cross the shoal in such an embarrassing manner.

"SOK...LOL..."

When Alba was about to cross the shoal, the snake demon chasing him made a gash in his back with a scimitar, exposing the yellowish fat under his skin. The other demon pursuers had just arrived at the center of the shoal. At this time, Richard's quagmire technique was finally completed in time, and a magical halo landed directly in the center of the shallow water as he waved his staff.

At the same time, Allen and Kaiya also acted almost simultaneously, tearing up the scrolls in their hands, spreading their arms and throwing the scrolls into the pool. Then, Kaiya pulled out the long bow behind her, holding three long arrows directly between her four fingers. As soon as she came up, she displayed her multiple shooting skills, aiming at the Flor Demon who was the first to glide in the mid-air; while Allen was in the Metasequoia. Taking a hard step on the tree trunk, the whole person turned into a ghost and rushed towards the six-armed snake demon who still refused to let Alba go.

"Puff puff~~"

The demon in the center of the pool felt that the mud under his feet had softened again, and his legs suddenly sank more than a foot deep. The four scrolls and the mire spell performed by a level 4 mage covered an area that did not exceed this area. What a wide shallow beach.

"Pah! Pah!"

Far more effective than using the Slowness Technique, the Mire Technique is blessed by the swamp environment, causing the horned demons and reincarnation demons trapped in it to roar. No matter how powerful it is, it barely bears any force in the face of it, and it can cover half of the huge monster. Every step forward in the quagmire of the body is so difficult.

In the mire, more than a dozen crocodiles were at home in the mire. Facing the prey that suddenly appeared, they were still polite. They opened their bloody mouths and bit the devil trapped in the mire with their sharp teeth. Death rolls in the quagmire. Stimulated by Richard's drug, ordinary beasts such as sawtooth crocodiles and anacondas were attracted, with a hint of madness in their eyes. They suppressed their animal instincts and harassed the demons in the pond desperately, attacking them. bite.

"Damn material world reptiles!!"

The six arms of the six-armed snake demon were united into one, and the six scimitars resisted Allen's fierce blow. At the same time, he looked back and discovered the dilemma of his subordinates behind him. His eyes were fierce and his mouth was threatening, but he was stopped by Ai. Lun simply ignored it.

Alba raised his leg and slapped to pieces a 2-meter-long sawtooth crocodile that was still biting his thigh. Then he picked it up with a spear and penetrated the hanging crocodile behind his buttocks. Only then did he feel comfortable. many.

"Alba, you go deal with the other demons. Leave this snake demon to me."

Facing an evenly matched opponent, Allen felt a burst of excitement on his face, then waved to Alba standing aside and said hello.

"You...hey!!"

Alba stared at Allen, then cursed and walked around the place where Allen and the others met, running towards the shallow water.

"I'm the bait for you to steal my opponent, and you get all the benefits!!"

As he spoke, Alba raised his spear, and the two-meter-long stainless steel spear passed by a vromo that was passing by at low altitude. On the spot, he poked a big hole in the opponent's wide fleshy wings, and then Falling precariously to the water. Alba saw that he had wounded a vrock, and he didn't care about the demon still struggling in the mire not far away. He pulled out a spear shadow in his hand and chased the vrock that had lost the ability to fly. With a few shots, the opponent was stabbed to death in the puddles.

Next to the metasequoia tree in the distance, a ball of lightning flashed. Under Richard's mental control, the lightning shot into the pile of demons that were stuck in the quagmire and slowly moving towards the shore.

“It’s stabbed!! Sigh!!!”

In the conductive turbid waters, none of the demons could escape, and they began to roll their eyes. Some demons were even directly paralyzed by the powerful current and slowly fell into the mire. Even Alba, who was some distance away from the lightning chain, felt a numbness all over his body, as if he was losing control of his body and was incontinent. The feeling was very uncomfortable.

Kaiya, who stood no more than ten meters across from Richard, had a long bow in her hand that was as curved as the moon. She shot each arrow faster than the other, dealing with the two vlo demons gliding in mid-air. In the middle of the mire, there was a vlomo who had an arrow piercing his eye socket and was slowly sinking into the pool. The six-armed snake demon is very powerful, but it is still a bit inferior to Allen.

Especially since it didn't have the powerful talent of awakening blasphemy. When facing Allen, from the moment it was suppressed and repelled by Allen in the first blow, the entire battle situation fell into Allen's rhythm.

A series of powerful blows, each of Allen's sword moves has the effect of a heavy blow. Over the years, Allen has integrated the expertise of mastering heavy strikes into his blood, and he no longer needs too many preparations. .

When Alba had just killed 5-6 mid-level demons with the help of Richard's mage, Allen slashed away three of the snake demon's scimitars with a powerful and furious attack. At the same time, he also crippled the opponent's two arms.

When the snake demon endured the severe pain and tried to retreat back while using the sword barrier with evil aura, Allen hit another triple wave, and with his indomitable body, he directly hit the opponent's 3 On top of the sword barrier built with a scimitar, Allen rushed into the arms of the snake demon. The two of them slid in the mire for several meters before slowly stopping.

When Allen dragged the Bonecutter out of the opponent's arms, he lost the body of the snake demon he was leaning on and fell into the mud with a thud.

"Alba, let me help you!!"

Allen stepped heavily on the snake demon's body with his big foot. The snake demon's corpse accelerated and sank into the mire. However, Allen jumped up high under the reaction force and faced a Kaiya who was dodging in embarrassment. The Flo Demon fired multiple shots, and when the two sides passed each other, a cloud of blood mist exploded from the air.

Allen's movements have not stopped. Under the influence of gravity, although he has lost some edge and strength, when Allen's body dropped into the swamp, it still landed on the head of a reincarnation demon. The bone cutter inserted it and directly Passed through the head of the reincarnation demon snake lizard.

The Samsara Demon didn't even have time to self-destruct, and he lost his life and became one of the several corpses in the frost mire.

At this time, Kaiya's furious voice came from the distance: "Alan, you bastard, you stole my goal!!"

With the addition of Allen, the speed of killing demons has become faster, and Richard's role in it is really not small.

Richard did not use many powerful spells, but more spells with negative effects, which helped the battle situation far more effectively than using single powerful spells: chain lightning, ice cone, and frost. hit……

Magicians like Richard have long figured out that demons don't like cold temperatures. At the same time, frost spells have similar negative effects to electric spells. They can slowly reduce the vitality of creatures within the spell range, which is equivalent to a continuous version of the slow spell. Although The effect takes time to manifest, but many demons struggling in the mire have been affected by it.

Not to mention the subsequent Stinky Cloud Technique, etc., which gave Allen and Alba a great help, making the war end faster.

It's just a pity that in the end, one Flor Demon and one Samsara Demon escaped Albian's interception, making Allen's goal of catching them all in vain.

Then it was time to clean up the battlefield and collect loot. Previously, everyone had benefited from the help of the Mire Technique, but it was only when the battlefield was being cleaned that they realized the disadvantages of doing so. With great difficulty, Allen found the body of the snake demon and its six scimitars, dragged them to the shore and threw them away. At this time, his body was covered with mud, and his original appearance could hardly be seen.

After the trophies were collected, the demon's head was easily chopped off and thrown into the sack. Even Kaiya, a beautiful-looking woman, did not show any restraint when chopping off the demon's head. The action was neat and refreshing. .

"Why are these things here?"

However, when they arrived at the devil's camp and counted the supplies piled under several animal skins and tarpaulins in the camp, their faces changed a little.

This batch of materials is not expensive, but it is very rare in the wilderness, because it is originally the most important material for building the flesh altar - obsidian.

"Could it be said that these demons are staying here to build an altar of flesh and blood?"

Richard's face was a little grim. After all, the flesh altar had caused countless disasters to the human kingdom and the wilderness. Now that he saw the materials of the flesh altar again, he would definitely be moved.

"If they wanted to build an altar, they wouldn't wait until now."

Kaiya had a different opinion, rubbing her fingers back and forth on the long obsidian stones. Obsidian is dark and lustrous, like pieces of black jade. In addition to its fragile nature, its appearance is very in line with female aesthetics.

"Don't forget, this swampland has just experienced a disaster. A tribe of lizardmen that originally lived here was wiped out due to the massacre by the demon army."

"Even if the other party wants to rebuild the Flesh Altar, I'm afraid they won't be here."

The unlucky troll had already roughly told Allen and the others the information about the Rotten Bone Beach. At this time, after being reminded by Kaiya, Richard came back to his senses.

"Yes, even if they want to build an altar here, they can't collect enough flesh and blood sacrifices with their own hands."

“It doesn’t matter so much!!”

Alba was rubbing his butt, cleaning the debris between the fat on his body, and swept away the piles of obsidian on the ground without much interest.

"These are all scourges, just smash them up and everyone will be relaxed!"

"..."

Kaiya and Albian glared at Alba as if they were fools. This obsidian wilderness does not produce much, but it has a wide range of uses. It is a good magic-guiding material for various god sculptures, magic circles, and mythical locks. The pile of thousands of pounds of obsidian in front of you would be worth at least a thousand gold coins if transported back to Mansha City. Who would be willing to destroy it into rubbish in just a few moments?

This is not a finished product that has been built into a flesh and blood altar, it is just raw material and cannot be wasted like this.

Thinking of this, Kaiya could only turn her eyes to Allen and Richard. Among this team, Allen and Richard were the only ones with expensive dimensional bags.

Although Kaiya and Albian have made some money as adventurers over the years, they have also purchased a lot of equipment, and the funds they have accumulated are actually not much. Especially Kaiya, as a human being, if she, who is now thirty years old, cannot find her legendary path before the age of 40, then she will have to return to her hometown with the funds she has accumulated over the years and buy a Property, or buying a dowry to marry a certain man.

This is the shackles of being women and their helplessness.

Because after the age of 45, it will be extremely difficult for Kaiya to have children, and no man will really want to marry her by then.

As for never marrying like a nun, not all women can do it. Their natural maternal nature will eventually make their hearts softer, and they want to have a close partner with whom they can raise their own bloodline.

"How about you and I keep these supplies first and then sell them when we get back and then distribute them?"

Richard looked at Alan, asking for his opinion.

Neither of Allen's and his two dimensional bags can fully contain such a large volume of materials, so they have to load some of them each to even out these things.

I don’t know how this group of demons transported these supplies.

"it is good."

Allen nodded in agreement. Although making money was not his ultimate goal, it was good to gain more.

"You idiots in the material world, pray to your false gods to protect your souls. The great master is about to come to your world and ignite the fire of killing on the entire world!!"

A vromo had its wings, limbs, and even its long tail cut off. It became a magic stick and was left dying in the camp that originally belonged to them.

After packing up all the trophies and leaving nothing behind, Allen and his party retracted their sights and focused on the only living creature in front of them. Before they could ask, the demon used crazy eyes and uttered vicious words. .

"At that time, your souls will become our food, and your flesh and blood will become the nutrients to summon the demon army to cross the border."

"The great master will avenge us..."

Albian's interrogation methods lost their effect for the first time. The vromon showed no signs of weakness despite Albian's various methods, and still uttered various curses against Allen and the others in a weak tone.

"..."

Albian shrugged, saying that he was helpless. The demon who lost his limbs gave him no stage to display many of his methods.

"I'll try it."

Allen stepped forward and took Albian's place.

"Can you do it? Why don't we waste time? Kill it and let's continue pursuing the mission goal?"

Albian looked at Allen with a questioning look.

"..."

Allen did not return, but just took out the dagger from his waist, walked up to the demon expressionlessly, stripped off all the foreign objects on its body, and then gestured with the dagger.

"You may all know what my biggest hobby is, but what you don't know is that because of this hobby, I have become good at swordsmanship."

"I once experimented with a prairie goat. I could cut 800 pieces of mutton from the goat continuously without letting the goat die."

"However, this demon has stronger resilience and is larger than a goat. I think I can break my record."

Allen was not a good talker originally, but after studying and experiencing over the years, he became much more talkative than before.

Moreover, he found that sometimes, using words in conjunction with actions can often achieve unexpected results. For Allen, who pays attention to practical results, that is naturally worth pondering, such as the current situation.

When Allen spoke in Common Language, the devil's eyes did not waver at all, and the crazy look in his vertical pupils did not fade away at all. He still glared at Allen and the others fiercely, facing Allen's stretched out dagger, and even used his only What was left was a big mouth full of sharp teeth, biting and clicking in the air.

Allen stopped speaking, but his hand began to move, and he lightly scratched the demon's body. The other person only felt a chill. When Allen used the blade to jump up a piece of demon skin as thin as cicada wings, he put it in front of his eyes and prepared it. On a log, hang it gently.

Knife after knife... When the demon began to feel the pain on his body and let out a shrill scream, Allen had already hung a total of 7-80 crystal-clear needles that were one finger long and one inch wide on the flat log. Slices of meat.

The other party's screams could not make Allen's mood fluctuate at all, and the dagger waved in his hand was even more steady. After a while, except for the white bones, there was no longer any flesh and blood on the demon's chest. . Even through the pale ribs, Allen could already see the fist-sized devil's heart in the chest, beating slowly but firmly.

And the strange thing is that no matter how loud the demon screamed and the hole in its chest expanded, it still didn't take its last breath.

If you look closely at the demon's hollow chest, you will find that there are thick and tough blood vessels attached between its dense white bones. Allen just avoided these main blood vessels when he was cutting the meat. It was precisely because of the smooth blood flow that the demon finally persisted, supported by its own resilience and strong vitality.

However, when Allen completely cleaned the flesh and blood from the opponent's chest, then held up the devil's stubborn and painful head, staring at the slowly beating heart in Allen's palm, the madness in the opponent's eyes receded like a tide. , replaced by the spirit, helplessness, fear and other expressions after being destroyed.

"Now, can you answer our questions?"

Allen's eyes did not fluctuate, as calm as water, staring at the demon in front of him.

　I always feel that the power of mages is not only reflected in their powerful spells, but also in their ability to cast appropriate spells according to the situation to help teammates win faster.

　　In my book, unless a mage is required to be the main firepower, for the safety of the mage himself and his teammates, the mages will make their own judgments and choose more appropriate spells, instead of using fireballs all at once like in other books. , Lightning Bolt and other powerful spells.

　　Truly wise mages should not just use their spells so crudely.
