《blood tax》Chapter 52 Reinforcements Arrive
Advertisement
As the light of the contract dissipated, the magic wolf attacked again.
Although they are fallen and corrupted, they are not creatures with extraordinary characteristics, but their powerful physical strength and madness are deadly enough. In the encounter just now, two-digit humans were beaten and retreated after being pierced by five demon wolves.
The physical quality of the two sides is completely different from one level!
Griffith put his hand into his small bag, grabbed the reward of the sewer battle—the bottle of potential potion that had been preserved to this day, and drank it in one gulp.
Power is coming! Griffith realizes that he can choose one of the two frost spells he already has and can be upgraded by this potential potion.
Strengthen the Frozen Nova/Ice Structure, I want it now!
Somewhere, Griffith realized that one of his spells had been strengthened. The freezing range of Frost Nova was wider and the frostbite was more severe, while the ice structure could last longer and complete more shaping. .
The mysterious and icy magic spell affected the elements in the air that could not be observed by the naked eye. The magic wolves that rushed towards humans suddenly found that they were hit by the freezing air and could not move their feet for a moment.
"Frozen - Nova!"
The ice froze the wolves that came one after another, making it difficult for these monsters to move. Although they can still swipe around with their sharp claws, they cannot break free for a while.
But the freezing effect didn't last long. Griffith grabbed a bottle of secondary deceleration potion with the mountain monster's snot as the main material, and smashed it towards the demon wolf at the back. The vial shattered on the icy ground, and the devil wolf that landed at the back immediately fell into a negative state of halving its speed.
Compared with the human body, the devil wolf is too strong, and they must first break up their cooperation.
Griffith stabbed a sword towards the throat of the demon wolf at the forefront. The refined long sword pierced the thick fur of the devil wolf, and the huge shock almost made his saber let go.
The blade is stuck in the solid flesh and blood and cannot move an inch. For such a creature with strong defense, it is still necessary to use an armor-piercing spear. At this time, the attacked devil wolf had been released from the frozen state, howling and roaring, and the wolf claws as large as a shovel grabbed towards Griffith's head.
Griffith passed the idea to his bone ring and mobilized the frost rune that had been condensed on the ring.
Three cold ice spears were formed one after another in the air. The cold temperature strengthened the effect of this spell. Griffith got three ice spears that were no less than armor-piercing spears. He grabbed a wrist and flipped it, and threw it at the roaring demon wolf with all his strength.
Let you see, the three spear companies of the eagle flag soldiers!
In the corrupted jungle, there was an itchy tearing sound, and the devil wolf that rushed like a gust of wind could not dodge and slammed into it.
"Pfft!"
The silver ice thorn inserted directly into the open mouth of the demon wolf, and ran through the back of its neck together with a piece of blood. The demon wolf was suffocated, and before the body could feel the pain, it was projected into a stagnant state.
Griffith's second ice gun was thrown at a very close range. This blow penetrated the thick skin and went straight into the chest cavity, but it hit the bone and made a dull sound, knocking the demon wolf to the ground, but the ice gun also shattered.

The third spear had already taken shape, and Griffith reached out and held it, but turned around quickly, turning a blind eye to the demon wolf who was just in front of him and was just wounded.
He aimed at the demon wolf in the middle. This powerful mutant creature had already broken free, flashed past Griffith's attack, and rushed towards Sonia behind.
Griffith's torch-like eyes immediately locked it, and a black horn hanging on his neck also began to flash with a light blue sheen, and a roaring mountain monster phantom appeared behind him, almost merging with his body.
This is an extraordinary item that combines the power of mountain monsters with the horns of the swamp bull as a carrier. When Griffith linked his psychic power to it,The surging anger and strength poured into his body and screamed furiously, and the next attack would deal double damage.
The devil wolf was also shocked, unable to understand how the human being in front of him could burst out with such a terrifying aura. Just when it wanted to avoid dodging, it found that its vigorous limbs had fallen into a state of stagnation and slowness.
The mountain monster's terrifying aura will leave weak creatures with nowhere to hide, and Griffith's next attack will come with a guaranteed hit.
"Remember this blow with your body, corrupt monster!"
Griffith threw it with all his strength, the amazing wind pressure swept away the flying snow, and the trail of the spiral threw the crackling sound far away, pierced through the right face of the devil wolf, and went out through the left face. The wolf's hideous head was torn and twisted by this blow, and the whole body flew out, spilling a dozen meters of broken flesh and black blood on the gray snow.
After this toss, Griffith immediately felt as if his whole body was exhausted, but more violent killing intent was already shrouded in it.
The third wolf that was frozen and slowed down has broken free and appeared behind Griffith. The apprentice knight subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his legs were filled with lead, his panting was like a bellows, and he was almost unable to move.
The body is very stiff, is it due to excessive physical exertion? Take this hard! Griffith staggered his hands in front of him, sideways to meet the sure hit.
Suddenly, a tall figure rushed in front of him, blocking between him and the demon wolf.
The demon wolf jumped up and rushed towards the humans on the ground. Sonia's wand spun rapidly, forming a spurt of ice spikes aimed at the wolf's head. In mid-air where there is nowhere to borrow, it is almost impossible for the demon wolf to dodge this blow.
However, this huge creature shrank rapidly, its limbs huddled together, and it swirled in the air for half a circle like a black hair ball, forcibly avoiding the axis of attack of the spell.
"Pfft!" The ice thorn pierced the Demon Wolf's shoulder blade, blasting a blood hole, but it did not cause fatal damage.
Sonia also used the spell, and for the 15-second cooldown, she couldn't cast the spell again.
"Ice armor!" Griffith hurriedly cast an ice armor on Sonya for defense. But the once-transparent ice wall blocked the Demon Wolf first.
A brooch inlaid with green gems on Sonia's coat was flashing rapidly, maintaining the existence of the ice wall, apparently solidifying the magic spell launched at a high speed, and being able to resist an attack at a critical moment.
The sharp claws of the demon wolf hit the ice wall, making a terrifying sound of bone cracking, but the wall quickly disintegrated.

Sonia took out the pouch from her waist, threw it at the corrupt creature in front of her, and pointed at the pouch with her flickering wand.
"Bang!"
Xiaobao exploded a cloud of pink smoke, with crystal fragments flying everywhere. Griffith keenly smelled a mixed aroma in the air.
Sonia threw out her cosmetic bag and ignited it with the wand's inherent special effects, detonating directly in front of the wolf's nose. The flying fragments, powder, and mixed reagents of different perfumes and cleansing oils startled the magic wolf, and immediately jumped back.
When a spellcaster is on spellcasting cooldown, enchanted items, scrolls, and potions are the fillers of the vacuum, and relying solely on their own spells is not enough.
After Sonia suffered a big loss against the goblins for the first time, she also gained a new understanding of her own abilities and items, and had already thought of using accessories or even small objects to fill the gaps in spellcasting cooling.
...
On the silent snow, the ice spearhead immediately began to dissolve after it penetrated the magic wolf, and dripped down mixed with blood. Griffith filled the eye socket of the wolf that had been pierced in the cheek with a sword, and waved away the blood as if nothing had happened.
Two to three, kill one. The first round was over.
The remaining two demon wolves seemed to be frightened. Although they decayed and mutated, they also knew that the human beings just now had obviously performed magic, and the human beings wrapped in metal should not have such ability.
From the launch of the attack to the present, the wolves have already killed and injured five heads, and the stalemate should not continue. Although mutant creatures are crazy, they are not stupid. Griffith calculated the frost rune on the Minoan Bone Ring, the remaining weapons, and the state of the enemy. The runes that have just been consumed are being re-condensed and replenished, but the situation is still critical.
However, the devil wolf did not mean to retreat. They distanced themselves from each other and approached in an encircling gesture.
Didn't the Demon Wolf retreat? Is it necessary to hunt us to obtain Beyonder characteristics? Griffith gritted his teeth, knowing that there was no chance of luck.
"Griffith, can I ask for more?" Sonia staggered against Griffith's back.
"Of course." Griffith replied simply, and at the moment when his body touched, he felt that his remaining mental power was being pulled away.
At the same time, he felt a burst of dizziness, and the side effect of mental power loss had already appeared.
It turns out that as long as they are close and have a clear will, they can replenish each other. It is really a convenient and efficient way to collaborate. No wonder it is a contract that requires the witness of the gods! At this speed, the opponent can be squeezed dry.
This, can't let Galadia know... Griffith also thought a little in a trance.
Sonia noticed his strangeness and hurriedly stopped: "I may not be able to activate the spell, but there is still a solidified defensive spell on the necklace that can be used, that's all."
"Okay, I understand," Griffith clenched his long sword and shouted to the magic wolf, "What's wrong? Can't you come up? The dead kin will cry."
The demon wolf seemed to understand, and let out an angry roar. They leaped on their hind legs with all their might, swooping down like catapults.
A pale green streamer suddenly flashed across the air, locking the hands and feet of Griffith's hands and feet before the demon wolf at the front slammed into Griffith's face. Liuguang kept his momentum unabated, and flew towards the demon wolf behind.
At the same time, Griffith was surprised to find a black thorn growing on the damp soil and snow, spreading rapidly along the streamer's trajectory. When the stream of light dissipated, the two demon wolves were firmly locked together by the thorns.
Griffith did not expect such a situation, and hurriedly slashed with his sword. The sword slashed through the sturdy fur and slid sideways, causing little damage.
The demon wolf roared, struggling frantically to try to escape the cage of thorns. The sharp claws that were enough to shred iron armor grabbed a handful on the apprentice knight's shoulder, and immediately tore off a group of broken iron rings.
Griffith slashed towards the magic wolf, and the long sword was once again blocked by the tough fur, leaving only a shallow blood mark.
"It's weak and weak, I'm not very satisfied~" The elf with long black hair came quietly like a wind in the forest. If it wasn't for her teasing words, Griffith couldn't even notice her arrival.
She had donned the gear of a ranger, a mithril one-winged laurel wreath on her head, and the gleaming breastplate, gauntlets, and greaves of intricate gems and crystals gleamed. The elf turned his hand and took out a strong golden bow like a phoenix spreading its wings from behind, and stretched the bowstring towards the devil wolf.
The feather arrow turned into a dazzling silver light the moment it was hooked on the bowstring, dragging a long trail and an air vortex through the wolf's throat, blasting a mass of flesh and blood on the back of its neck. Silver light unabated, directly hit the brain of the other demon wolf that was bound, and blew it into a cloud of blood.
Griffith was dazed by the sudden light that appeared in the darkness, and when the light disappeared, the headless corpses of two strong demon wolves were lying on the ground. Galadia stood proudly with a strong bow in the chaotic blood mist, her long hair flying in the wind, deadly and graceful.
"Galladia, why are you here?"
"Fortunately, I'm here, or do you still have a way to survive?" The elf's face could no longer be seen from the previous injury, she took out the potion and handed it to Sonia, and said seriously, "Don't look at how many times I've suffered losses. , as long as I have equipment, I'm actually very powerful, I didn't show it before!"
"I have no doubts about that!" Griffith said immediately.
Sonia stood aside, rubbing her forehead and waiting for the two of them to finish before asking, "Galladia, where are the others? Are the professors' support here?"
As soon as the voice fell, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed in the forest in the distance, followed by an earth-shattering loud noise and violent earth shaking. Countless unheard of strange screams came and went.
"Professor Lordes has already arrived to join the others, but he has also encountered a very strange monster attack, which is easy for people with high inspiration. Other reinforcements are also here in a hurry," the elf stretched out a hand. "Follow me, and tell me about the battle just now."
...
"So~ it's still unclear what exactly that brownie is plotting," Galadia, who listened to Griffith's brief explanation, whispered while nimbly walking in the dark forest, "A battle The smell of blood can attract monsters in a radius of 100 miles. Fight face-to-face with Goblins and well-equipped Shutorals, or fight monsters in the forest. The nature is no different from suicide. Brownie Number 2887 should know this very well.
"Maybe bringing us in is what it was designed for.
"The longer you stay in the Whispering Forest, the more sanity you lose without knowing it. It may not be noticeable at first, but gradually you will feel dizzy and hear strange sounds, which are signs of being polluted by the madness in the forest;
"As the pollution intensifies, you will start laughing unconsciously, you can't control yourself, or even realize it. You will also feel inexplicably excited, depressed, and say things you don't usually say.
"After being heavily polluted by the distortions here, many monsters that were originally invisible will take shape and attack you until the last madness and death."
