Chapter 107: Tragic Death
"Da da da..."
footsteps sounded, and the group continued to move forward.
After walking for a while this time, I saw a black rock wall standing in the darkness in the distance, marking the end of the underground space and the end of the treasure exploration.
In front of the black rock wall, stands a tall palace-like building with an old appearance and extraordinary momentum.
Li He's eyelids jumped slightly when he saw the palace-like building. This was the one I saw in the illusion of the path-finding crystal.
Frank and his party were quite excited after seeing it, and they could imagine that there must be greater profits in the palace.
Taking a deep breath, he walked towards the palace.
Just when he was more than ten meters away from the palace, there was a "click" sound, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and a large area sank.
Then the claws of a gray-brown beast stretched out from under the depression and grabbed the foot of the nearest wizard apprentice.
The person who was captured was a female first-level wizard apprentice from Shadow Academy. She was wearing a blue robe and had a delicate face. She was dreaming about entering the palace to obtain unimaginable gains, and she was not prepared for this sudden attack.
However, she reacted very quickly. While the others shouted "Be careful", she reached out and grabbed a purple gemstone heart-shaped pendant around her neck.
"Pah!"
Without any hesitation, he crushed it directly.
The pendant exploded and turned into countless purple powder, shrouding the blue-robed female apprentice in it.
"Fast!"
The female apprentice recited a short spell, and all the purple powder flashed and quickly adhered to her body surface, turning the blue robe into blue and purple.
At this moment, the female apprentice's speed suddenly increased, she twisted her body to avoid the claws, and stepped continuously on the nearby ground, moving away quickly to the side. In just a few breaths, they were dozens of meters away. Then they exhaled and looked at the claws of the beast that appeared with some caution with the others.
"Bang bang!"
The owner of the beast's claws looked a little angry as he failed to catch the female apprentice. He scratched hard at the edge of the depression, and then crawled out of the ground with his whole body.
It looked like a ferocious monster nearly three meters tall, with a dark brown body and an appearance like an orangutan, but with four eyes and sharp, tiger-like claws on its limbs.
Climbing out of the ground, the orangutan monster glanced at everyone with its four eyes, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
"Everyone, be careful. The energy fluctuations in this monster's body are very strong, stronger than any of us, and it is difficult to deal with..." Frank said.
As if in response to Frank's words, the orangutan monster roared, stamped its foot, crushed a piece of ground, and rushed towards everyone.
His first target was Li He.
Li He raised his eyelids and squinted at the orangutan monster getting closer and closer. He used his enhanced perception to make sure that Frank was not lying. There are indeed strong energy fluctuations in the opponent's body, and their intensity is higher than that of ordinary first-level wizard apprentices and second-level wizard apprentices.
But that seems to be it.
It seems that the opponent is at most a third-level wizard apprentice. Even taking into account the physical advantages of the demonized creature, it should not be much more difficult to deal with than Hale before.
The orangutan monster roared and rushed at him. Li He stepped on one side of his body and quickly dodged away. His eyes continued to look at the orangutan monster, and the data analyzed by his brain kept popping up in his field of vision.
Height: 2.94 meters.
Wingspan: 2.75 meters.
Speed:...
Power:...
Li He kept analyzing and accidentally released an ice pick or stone cone to shoot at the orangutan monster to test the opponent's defense.
The orangutan monster chased Li He several times and found that he could not even touch the corners of Li He's clothes, so he decisively turned his target to the rest of the people.
After watching this scene, Li He secretly added another message to the orangutan monster in his heart: "It seems to have some wisdom..." The
orangutan monster attacked Frank and his party, which instantly doubled the pressure on Frank and others.
They did not have Li He's exaggerated speed. Under the attack of the orangutan monster, they evaded and fled in a panic. They rarely used free time to cast spell attacks, but the fireballs, wind blades and other energy spells only beat the orangutan monster's appearance to flesh and blood. Being vague doesn't hurt the fundamentals.
This makes the orangutan monster under the pain even more violent and aggressive.
A young male apprentice was unlucky enough to be chased into a corner by the orangutan monster. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, he gritted his teeth, tore off the blue stone bracelet from his wrist and threw it away.
"Bang!"
The stone bracelets shattered in mid-air and turned into a large amount of thick smoke, obscuring the monster's sight.
The male apprentice seized the opportunity and ran away quickly.
As soon as he escaped from the thick smoke, he heard a fishy smell chasing him from behind. He looked back in horror and saw the monster's open bloody mouth.
"Ah - no!"
the male apprentice yelled, and the next moment it stopped abruptly, as half of his body was swallowed by the orangutan monster.
With a "click", he was bitten to the waist by the monster.
The male apprentice died instantly.
After flicking the body of the male apprentice in its mouth, the orangutan monster with its mouth full of blood looked at the remaining people and roared in protest.
At this time, Frank and his group saw their companions died tragically, and their eyes turned red.
"Die!"
The female apprentice who was almost caught before shouted lowly, chanted a long spell in her mouth, waved her hand, and an ice ball with billowing white cold air flew towards the orangutan monster, accurately hitting its left leg.
"Wow!"
After the hit, the ice ball shattered, and a lot of cold energy contained inside was released like a jet. Visible to the naked eye, the left leg of the raging monster quickly froze, and in the blink of an eye, it was already frozen.
The orangutan monster took a few steps with difficulty and almost lost his balance and fell. He struck the ice on the surface of his left leg with some anger.
At this time, the others were not idle. They continued to release spells one after another, giving the orangutan monster a severe blow.
Li He was beside him and did not slack off, constantly releasing common energy-shaping spells such as ice cones, stone cones, acid balls, wind blades, etc. to assist in the attack. However, all spells are controlled at the level expected of a first-level wizard apprentice, without exposing the true strength.
During the attack, while he continued to observe and analyze the orangutan monster, he also observed and analyzed Frank and his party.
In the previous battle with Hale, he collected a lot of combat information from formal wizard apprentices who had received systematic training, but after all, there was only Hale, and there was a lack of comparison, and he could not rule out some accidental special data. In order to conduct a more comprehensive and systematic analysis, it is necessary to collect data from more people.
In this way, the battle continued, and Li He collected more and more information.
For a moment, under the attack of everyone, the orangutan monster was covered with bruises and looked obviously less vigorous than at the beginning.
"If you work harder, you can kill this guy soon!" Frank shouted.
As soon as he finished shouting, the orangutan monster roared, and a red light flashed on its body, as if the pain was suddenly removed, and it attacked everyone with a sudden increase in speed.
Everyone was shocked. In critical moments, they no longer hid their secrets.
One of the oval-faced female apprentices gritted her teeth, dropped a golden earring from her ear, put it into her mouth, and swallowed it hard.
Then he opened his mouth and sprayed a large mouthful of thick yellow acid mist at the orangutan.
