Part One: Getting Involved Chapter Twenty-Five: Running Away
For the first time, he heard the groan of his own bones. The bent limb joints could no longer support the muscles to generate strength, and he could only let the surrounding branches continue to squeeze.
The space between every part of the body is gone, but the pressure around it is still increasing. The blood in the body first cannot bear this abuse, and finds a breakthrough from the weak blood vessels in the nasal cavity to escape the joy of birth from inside.
He rushed out. The eyes seemed to be inspired and tried hard to break free from the restraints of the eye sockets. The lungs had already squeezed out the last bit of air and were trying to squeeze themselves out.
You can already feel that the deformation of your body has gone beyond the scope of the physical body. In this situation, there is no room for fighting spirit and perseverance. No matter how you think or act impulsively, your hands and feet are still there and unable to move at all.
The pressure around him was still increasing, not only pressing in the middle, but also rubbing up and down. The muscles and bones of his body had begun to feel heartbreaking pain, and the things he had seen a few days ago appeared in his mind.
The broken and mangled corpse of a soldier. He knew that he was about to become like that. Hysterical fear immediately spread like wildfire and filled every corner of his mind, blending with pain and rushing left and right in his body, destroying everything that could be inside.
The running energy was concentrated, and a fireball was emitted with the instinct of an animal's last struggle.
It was already too late. Elder Kelan saw that the hands of the dead wood guards had been balled up into a big ball of branches. The branches were squeezing and grinding against each other, making an unpleasant creaking sound that was extremely harsh in the silence of the forest. He stopped in disappointment.
Once it steps down, even the strongest bull will only turn into broken bones and beef slices in the millstone of this tree branch.
A sudden loud noise shook the entire forest. The hands of the dead wood guards gathered in a group suddenly burst open, burning branches flew everywhere, and the bodies of two dead wood guards were also burned together, with blazing flames.
Light up the forest brightly.
Asa fell from the center of the explosion and fell heavily to the ground. But he immediately stood up staggeringly and continued to run forward crookedly.
"Impossible." Elder Kelan was stunned on the spot, watching several deadwood guards waving their arms that were no longer there to chase Asa who was escaping in embarrassment. This forest was shrouded in the divine power of the Sunwell, except for the people surrounding them.
No one except the elves who grew up in the Sunwell can use magic.
He looked at Asa who was running away in front of him. He still stumbled when he got up from the ground, but after running a few steps, his body emitted a burst of blue-white healing magic light, and he gradually ran faster and faster, even walking as fast as flying.
Elder Kelan understood. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true that this human being had merged with the remaining sunwell power in his body. This not only allowed him to use magic in the forest, but the divine power covering the entire forest also made his
The magic power has a multiplied effect.
He cannot be allowed to escape with the leaves of the World Tree. It is the only hope to fight against the darkness, and it is the sacred mission of his noble race. He must be stopped by any means, even the use of violence.
Elder Kelan raised his bow and took out an arrow from the quiver on his back. He opened the bow, set the arrow, and pulled the string, and the flint arrow began to emit a burst of fiery yellow light.
The bow was full of strings, and the arrow had turned into a ball of dazzling yellow light. Almost as soon as he sent his hand, the ball of light immediately turned into a line of yellow light and extended to Asa's vest, which was running in front, containing the magic in it.
The power burst out immediately.
The strong explosion caused the unicorns who were chasing him to step aside, and the air wave even knocked down an approaching deadwood guard. The escaping human was blown away like a dead leaf. But he fell to the ground.
After that, he just knelt down and took a breath, then jumped up and continued running vigorously.
Seeing that his full blow had no effect, Elder Kelan was shocked and angry and shouted out words that were completely inconsistent with the nobility and calmness of the elves: "Kill him."
The wind whistled in his ears, and the scenery on both sides flew back. Asa almost had the urge to dance and shout while running. Several more dead tree guards came in front of him. Asa refused to dodge, and opened his palms in front of
Stretch out and continue to rush forward.
A ball of fierce light that was larger than his body gathered and formed in front of his palm. With a scorching heat wave, it tore through the air that dared to block the forest with a momentum that seemed to break through the forest, and roared towards the dead tree guards in front.
There was an explosion that shocked and trembled the entire forest, and even Asa himself was knocked to the ground by the explosion. Only the burning lower bodies of the few deadwood guards were left there, like several huge torches, and flying lights all over the sky.
The burning wood blocks illuminated the whole area like daylight. Asa got up from the ground, looked at this glorious achievement, shouted in excitement and continued to run forward.
The golden power in his body resonated with the entire forest. He clearly felt that the sunwell far behind him was emitting waves of fluctuations that filled the air of the forest. Every time he used magic, the strong resonance of these fluctuations
The effect of the magic was increased dozens of times. The blow on his back just now seriously injured him, but as soon as the healing spell was used, he immediately became more powerful.
A long arrow passed by his ear with a scream, and the elves began to fire arrows. Asa quickly pulled up his robe to cover his head. The arrows shot at him like raindrops, and only ran for a dozen
Bu's body had been hit by twenty or thirty arrows, but the arrows could not penetrate the robe at all.
The sound of horse hooves came from behind again, and Asa turned around and threw a fireball. The neighing of unicorns was heard in the explosion. Several horses were blown up, and the others were all knocked around by the blast of air.
With a cool wave of his hand, a fireball flew out, turning a dead wood guard on the side into a huge firework. He shuttled between the loud explosion and the firelight that filled the sky, ignoring the rain of arrows pouring from behind.
, he felt that he had almost become the master of the entire forest. Asa was almost looking forward to the appearance of new dead wood guards in front of him. Those lumps of wood that once frightened him now seemed as vulnerable as paper. He felt
It's never been so enjoyable.
Of course, he had to continue escaping. He didn't dare to turn around and expose his face to the elves' shooting, nor did he dare to slowly wait for all the dead wood guards in the forest to gather. He still remembered the man in red robe a few days ago.
The kind of battle around me...
Calculating the distance, we should be not far from the edge of the forest. Suddenly, a wall made of dozens of dead wood guards appeared in front of us. Although these wooden lumps seemed to have no thoughts, they had a common consciousness that they understood each other.
They gathered in the direction where he was escaping, forming an encirclement. Behind them, they could already see the grassland where he came in. Asa was so happy that he almost screamed.
As long as he blows up the wood lump in front of him, he can escape. He waved his hand and fired another fireball, but this time the fireball was only half the size of the previous one. It only blew off the head of a dead wood guard.
But still intact.
Asa stood still. In shock, he felt that the magic power that was still surging in his body was now showing signs of drying up. The fluctuations in the sunwell that filled the air had weakened a lot. In fact, as he moved away from the sunwell, this
The power of this resonance has been weakening, but he has been so high-spirited and intoxicated in his own power that he doesn't care at all.
As soon as he paused like this, the dozen unicorns behind him immediately caught up and spread out to his left and right. Probably out of fear of accidentally hurting them, the elves also stopped shooting arrows.
He stood in the circle and looked around, unicorns shaking the sharp horns on their heads like a demonstration. These smart animals were not in a hurry to attack him, and carefully surrounded him at a distance of more than ten meters from him.
.They are waiting for the elven allies behind. And the deadwood guards in front are beginning to approach here.
Neither can they wait for the deadwood guards to come over and crush them into pieces, nor can they wait here for the elves to catch up. No matter how rigid and rigid they are in their culture that despises violence, they will never give themselves any chance to escape.
Asa suddenly remembered the various methods he had heard of treating escaped prisoners. He cut the tendons of his hands and feet, and passed the iron chains through his collarbones... Then he could only do this for the rest of his life.
Wriggling like a maggot in a dark and damp dungeon waiting to die...
Suddenly, he fell from an overwhelming emotional peak to being surrounded and unable to move forward or retreat. The strong contrast made him panic. And the freedom that was so close before his eyes made his heart feel like there were thousands of cats biting and scratching him.
The grassland was just in front, only a few dozen meters away, and it was flat and reflected the free moonlight. He knew from Luya's mouth that these dead wood guards relied on the power of the sun well to move and could not get out of this forest. As long as they came out,
Once he reached the confines of this forest, his hope of escape greatly increased.
How can he rush through these dozens of meters? Asa looked around carefully at the unicorns watching him warily. He understood that the trick he used when he crossed these unicorns for the first time would no longer work. In this kind of situation,
Under such circumstances, if you are exposed to the kind of bright light that can blind you, you will die, but you must not close your eyes and hit that dangerous horn. There are dozens of people in front of you, and now they have become tall and majestic again.
He was frightened by the deadwood guards.
Like a starving poor man searching his pockets in front of a bakery. Asa was so careful that he pumped up every corner of his body, but no matter how hard he tried, there was only that left.
The magic power of two or three fireballs is enough. It is impossible to blow up the dozens of dead wood guards, and I am afraid that even the unicorns in front of me cannot be dealt with.
How to blow it up? Where to blow it up? Asa's mind was quickly imagining how to break out of this siege, but no matter what, he would either be blinded by the unicorns and stabbed through them, or he would rush over and be trampled to pieces by the deadwood guards.
cake.
What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do... The elves are coming soon, and they will blow up where and who...
Suddenly he thought of an almost absurd and dangerous method.
But now, even the most absurd method is better than no method at all. The chance of success is only one percent, but if you don't do it, there is not even one percent.
He bent down, bent his legs, half squatted, and then fired a fireball towards the ground while jumping up violently.
There was a loud bang. The air wave of the fireball explosion and the jumping force were superimposed, and he flew directly over the unicorns.
The muscles on his butt and thighs were all numbed by this shock. Asa saw himself flying towards the face of a dead tree guard. He knew that as long as he hit it, he would be finished. Even if he didn't hit or fall to death, he would only fall.
Trampled to death.
He calculated the angle in the air, stretched out his hand towards his butt, concentrated all the remaining magic power and fired a fireball.
He had no time to feel the impact of the loud noise on his ears. Almost every joint of the arm that fired the fireball, from shoulder to elbow to wrist and fingers, had been dislocated, and the entire arm, buttocks and thighs were almost thrown out.
He suspected that all the muscles on his body were worn out, and even the pain was gone.
Like a thrown ball, it rolled in the air with sparks and flew over the heads of the dead tree guards. Asa finally got his wish and flew out of the forest and fell into the free grassland.
With the impact of landing on the ground, he felt that almost all the skeletons in his body were scattered. He rolled far away on the grass before he stopped. He lay there like a dead man with eyes full of stars, and he didn't even have much strength left to breathe. The body next to him was that day.
The zombies ate the remaining half of the corpse. It seemed that no one had been here, and the zombies' leftovers filled the grass with a suffocating stench.
Asa knew that he succeeded and failed.
He did escape, but he was completely unable to run anymore. All he could move was one hand. As long as the elves came over, they could catch him back like a dead pig.
He suddenly saw his knife not far in front of him, and he tried his best to move it with every move in his body. Even though he knew that it would be useless to get it, he still wanted to hold it in his hand.
Here. He has no extravagant hope of escaping, it is just a desperate expression. I can't wait to be eaten by mermaids.
But for a while, they only heard the neighing of the unicorn and the noise of the elves, but there was no movement at all. Asa reluctantly turned around and saw the elves and the unicorn standing on the edge of the forest, walking back and forth, but there was no sound.
Come out to catch him. Several unicorns took a few steps out of the forest, seemed to smell the strong stench in the grass, and turned around and ran back.
Asa laughed, laughed several times, coughed, and laughed at the same time. He heard from Luya that the elves had not set foot in this forest for tens of thousands of years. This was also the rule of their clan, but
I never imagined that they could be so rigid and dull.
After all, those unicorns are just wild beasts. Once they are separated from the feeling of being enveloped by the sunwell that they have experienced all their lives, they will immediately feel strange and frightened. They were still so brave in dealing with zombies in the forest, but now they see the elven allies hesitate to move forward.
If there is an epidemic, just the smell scares them away.
An elf figure wanted to rush out, it seemed to be Luya, but Elder Kelan next to him grabbed her and scolded her.
Asa tried his best to calm down, slowly gathered some magic power, and reluctantly used a healing spell on his legs. After being freed from the influence of the sunwell, the effect of his spells was almost back to its original poor level.
.But fortunately, the injuries to both legs were not too serious, and I could barely move again after using the spell.
The elves watched helplessly as Asa laughed and rolled towards the forest opposite. They began to discuss heatedly whether they should violate the clan rules that had been pure and pure for tens of thousands of years. After a while, they finally finally
With the result, when Yuluya led a few elves to chase him out into the forest on the opposite side, Asa had long disappeared.
