Age of Adepts

Chapter 23 Golden Cicada Shell Removal

As a strange creature who has survived for centuries, the ghost woman has long lost her heart, throat, chest belly and other deadly harm, but the brain, as a parasite for the broken soul, once destroyed by the enemy, also threatens to destroy the soul.

Therefore, feeling the emptiness and weakness in his chest, Ghost Chief Simba's ugly face flashed with the vicious light of hatred, and his grumpy mouth became more and more distorted and fierce.

As the owner of this muddy swamp, Simba resists even the swamp giant crocodile with its tough outer skin and sharp poisonous fingernails, as well as numerous men. Its deadly teeth and claws can tear up half an inch thick armor directly, while the toxins hidden in the black fingers can paralyze each other instantly in contact with the flesh.

But unfortunately, like most swamp monsters, it has no good means of ranged attack. Weakened rays and sleep techniques that are too close to range are difficult to penetrate basic spell protection, so Alice, who can fly and attack remotely, don't look at Simba's physical qualities completely crush each other, but the lack of attack means makes it impossible to fight back.

Fearing the other party's blind witchcraft, Simba stomped and the giant lizard beneath him sank into the pool silently. Simba revealed only one head on the water, his fierce eyes staring viciously at Alice, without the slightest hint of retreat.

Alice, angry, even took the shot, but was hidden away by Simba, who hid most of her body. After all, her signature attack was too eye-catching. With a little vigilance and a timely departure, she could avoid her space attack.

Alice tried many times, but only took some stinking sewage, which made her more manic. One breath pulled out the rotten brains of seven or eight ghost women on the field, scaring the rest of the guy into the sludge and disappearing. Alice and Simba were the only ones left in the vast muddy swamp to confront each other in the open air.

Alice's anger broke out, but she also found some shortcomings.

Her space witchcraft is truly sharp and mysterious enough, but it's all monolithic, and it doesn't have the horror effect of being as powerful as elemental witchcraft on a large scale. This may have given Alice awe-inspiring lethality in her battle with her peer wizard apprentice, but in the face of this situation, she is a little overpowered.

If she mastered lava fireball witchcraft, it would only take a few rounds to turn this stinking puddle under her feet into a rolling pot and boil the monster inside. Unfortunately, being too obsessed and confident about space witchcraft makes her less anxious to drill those simple elemental witchcraft.

So in the face of today's scene, she had no choice but to do whatever she could to resist the evil woman leader.

If it were the giant swordsman who came with her, she might be able to use her physical strength to kill into the haunted woman's lair. But Alice was a fragile remote wizard, and once she had killed many ghost wives in the mud, she had no absolute certainty that she would be able to retreat.

But apparently today Alice is determined to capture or kill Grimm, and in the middle of the sky, with only a little hesitation, she once again builds up that full-fledged space barrier, crashing into the mud like a meteor crash.

Simba apparently did not expect this blind little human Lori to be so fierce that she drove the giant lizard into deeper and deeper muddy water, and continued to emit an ultra-frequent strange sound wave in her mouth, summoning her own men.

The mud waves rolled and the water flowed across, and this swamp mud pool was still calm and boiling like boiling water for a moment.

A line of water rushed wildly to Alice's place in the water, the giant lizard the haunted women raised. Each of them is more than 5 metres long and is covered with tough scales, besides sharp claw teeth and petrochemical rays with a range of less than 10 steps. And a ghost woman also floats in cloudy sewage, desperately surrounding this villain who dares to invade their homes.

Alice was wrapped up in an indestructible space barrier in dirty muddy water beyond her sight, and the only remaining one-eyed flash of hatred was killing every enemy that appeared before her with her unique witchcraft.

Her right eye, devoured by scorpions, had a great deal of witchcraft to regenerate, but the stench made it difficult for her to swallow. Though it was the abominable insect repellent, the fighter who started it was this weird junior apprentice.

The means by which the other party can perceive the power of space, whether gifted or witchcraft, must not be divulged, otherwise the name of the terror that Alice has long built will be in jeopardy once it falls into the hands of her enemies.

With a bloody battle between the two sides at the bottom of the pond, the entire sludge became a battlefield for their brutal killing. At this time, however, the fighter who started the battle, the junior apprentice Grimm, was being carried into his lair by four ghost wives all over the country.

After the war began, the four ghost women dragged the fully petrified Grimm down to the bottom of the mud pit and ripped a hole in the dirty, smelly sludge. Dragging Grimm, they got into it. The tunnels are covered in sticky, stinky sludge, but they do not prevent their rapid passage.

First swimming out flat for more than a dozen meters, then tilting upwards. With the sound of a loud bang, several people actually got out of the muddy sewage everywhere and came into a damp pit. Just as several people climbed forward in the dark, damp pit, the muddy pool in the distance behind them actually sent a dull howl, listening to the sound of the battle roar of Simba.

The urgency of the war compelled Simba to constantly howl, loudly summoning the ghost women of the entire sludge to join the war, even this pit where they were located was shaken by the cave walls constantly trembling.

Emotional mania, the witty ghost woman immediately moved, followed Grimm by two ghost women a few short hisses, and turned around and drilled back into the mud. Apparently, both of them responded to the chief's call and took part in the siege of the outer enemy. And the other two haunted women were angry and howled a few times, but only pressed the battle valley's despair and continued to drag Grim's shoulders forward.

Sludge swamps are the home of haunted mothers who can soak in sludge and sewage for years waiting for their prey to come to their doors. But inevitably, they also need a place to store what they consider treasures. Old, stinky, dry meat chunks, broken leather coats, lack of conservation and rusty weapons, some collected plant roots and stems...

These things are immersed in the sewage and must have corroded quickly, so Ghost Chief Simba dug a parallel underground tunnel at the bottom of the mud where his community lives, setting up a relatively dry nest somewhere far from the swamp wetlands.

And now, the post-petrochemical Grimm is being sent here.

The eyes, ears, mouth and nose were blocked by dirty, sticky sludge, and the whole body was petrified and stiff like a stone statue, but Grim's mental consciousness was not half-delayed and he could still perceive what was happening around him.

There's a fight out there!

Through that implicit ground shake, Grimm can imagine the intense and bloody battle in the mud at this moment. Despite the absolute numerical advantages of Sinbar's haunted herd, in his most familiar territory, Grimm still doesn't think they can survive that horrible little Lori.

Elemental witchcraft is just a battle with a tough, tough body, and they think that the strength of battle is a joke in front of Alice's thin, paper-like space barrier. As long as they can't find the hidden “dark door” above Alice's space barrier, they're tired, nauseous, and they can't break the space barrier known as indestructible.

Unless they can drain Alice's spiritual strength in absolute quantities... the battle will be won. So this is the best time to get away as quickly as possible while she can't afford to stand by them.

Although Grimm's entire body has been petrified and can no longer move, his spiritual strength remains unhindered. Driven by his mental tentacles, the vial of reagent hidden in his mouth had spicy juice flowing down his numb esophagus into his stomach.

After years of touring the outskirts of the Marsh Tower, how could Grimm not prepare a response to the talented abilities of the surrounding monsters? This bottle of "action free” medicine, which he bought at a high price from other apprentices in the Wizard's High Tower, has a very high removal effect on petrochemical and paralytic alien energy.

As the potency of witchcraft circulates in the body, Grimm's completely rigid body gradually becomes itchy and some perceptions return to his control.

Through a hundred and ten meters, he finally arrived at a slightly flat and dry pit, a narrow space of less than twenty meters square filled with mold and a few asphyxiating dirty air.

The two ghost wives threw Grimm over a pile of clutter in the middle of the pit and roared loudly at each other, as if arguing about whether to go into battle or stay here and guard “food”. But just as the argument between the two "men" continued, the flames of fist-sized elements burned in the darkness as the two squeaked lightly.

The two haunted women stunned for a moment, which made them realize that when the original stiff statue of man actually stood up, each with a bunch of open hands constantly jumping to burn the little flame.

Only a haunted woman with low intelligence could figure out the reason for the scene in front of her, perceived Grimm's vibrant flesh and blood, and immediately roared and pounced.

The two small flames flashed instantly into two blazing flames and burned over the two ghost wives. As the two sides staggered, Grimm knelt down on his knees in a wet cave, gasping, his shirt ruptured and four deep bone injuries appeared simultaneously under his chest ribs.

And the two ghost women hit the mud wall on the back, and their skinny, dry bodies fell down softly. Grimm manipulated the flame flow through the mouth and burned everything in the whole brain to ashes. Two ghost women died instantly and could not die again.

The air in the pit is already scarce, and then the flames of the elements explode, making it even thinner and more pathetic. Grimm breathed heavily for half a day before his breath subsided.

Venus appeared directly in front of her, and her body was even more uncomfortable. Instead of hurting, the bloodstains scratched by Ghost Lady's dirty fingernails itched, which made Grimm feel dark. Damn, these ghost bitches are poisoned!

Grim felt a little calm after struggling to swallow a bottle of antidote from his neck.

Grimm was relieved to dare measure the haunted lair in front of him when he listened to the violent shock coming through the tunnel, indicating that the battle there was still not over and that he had a chance to escape.
