Chapter 143 Crossing

Chapter 143 Crossing
In the forest northwest of the town, inside a smaller cave.

Longzel sat on the wet ground with a gloomy face. The original intact chain mail on his body had been damaged in many places at this time, and the original metal chain links were still missing in several places.

Sitting next to him was a scorched Kane. He was in a state as if he had been roasted by fire. The steel plate armor had long since come off, and the burnt skin was detached, and dark yellow pus and bright red blood flowed out. of blood.

The reason for this current situation is simple.

His prediction came true, but Uncle Kane's prediction was not accurate.

It turns out that in this world, no matter what level or status, there will always be some fools.

They are like roundworms parasitic on their own class. They have no brains and can only make troubles. Even after suffering the consequences of stupidity, they will still die like centipedes and continue to harm others!
This is the only thought in Longzel's mind now.

He never expected that a mere ogre mission would meet a wonderful spellcaster!
Or rather, the parasite of a not-so-intelligent spellcaster.

It is true that some high-level strange flowers were caught by the ogre, and even the human body and skin were swallowed by the ogre, and everything he had belonged to the ogre.

Moreover, this weirdo is also a spellcaster known for his calmness and rationality among professionals, and his level is estimated to be at least around level five, but not level six.

If the other party really has the sixth level, then he and Uncle Kane can't persist until now.

Sure enough, the ability to learn is not directly proportional to the ability to deal with real things. To be able to become a fifth-level spellcaster, this strange flower must have extraordinary knowledge, but in the end it was still planted in the hands of an ogre who was only at the fourth level, and now he died There is no peace anymore, and they will be hurt.

The ogre who devoured the caster has completely inherited all of her own strength, and can cast fifth-level spells.

After Longzel and Kane found the ogre's lair according to the instructions of the mission, the two of them were preparing for a surprise attack to kill all the ogres as soon as possible, so that they would not fight back Ability!
But ideas and plans are beautiful, reality is cruel.

When the two of them walked into the lair, they killed a few ogres when they suddenly bumped into a big fireball head-on!

At that time, Longzel was surprised and confused, thinking that a certain spellcaster suddenly attacked the two of them, intending to rob them of their achievements.

But they never expected that the one who attacked them with spells was a female spellcaster with a mysterious figure and her face hidden behind a veil.

No, she is not the original product at all, but the ogre who inherited her pretty skin after the female spellcaster was swallowed by the ogre!

Most terrifying of all, she is an ogre who has absorbed the knowledge of all spellcasters.

The role of a spellcaster on the battlefield is absolutely decisive!

If it's just ordinary combat class members being swallowed by ogres, then he and Uncle Kane still have the power to fight.

But now, those ordinary ogres stand in the front, hindering their progress, and the ogres, the spellcasters in the rear, cast their spells steadily like old dogs.

As a last resort, Longzel could only escape from the ogre's lair with Kane.

But these monsters will obviously not let go of the fat in their hands. The racial characteristics of ogres cause them to only devour humanoid creatures, and then obtain all the abilities of these devoured creatures, even including memories!

In the recorded history of the Great Plane of Fein, it is not uncommon for an ogre to swallow a transcendent person above the sixth level by luck.

After that, this lucky ogre relied on the skin of this unlucky transcendent to lead the group step by step to slowly erode a human village, then a town, and finally a city.

Longzel couldn't imagine that all the residents of a city were slowly being eroded until they were all human beings disguised as ogres, and all the civilians were replaced unconsciously!
Then the city opened its doors and welcomed everyone who came in from outside.

At night, the ogre, who was born not long ago and has not yet found a suitable host, can freely choose the food he likes among these visitors and replace it.

This disaster was finally noticed by a legendary fortune teller of the ninth rank. The reason was that one of her favorite apprentices seemed to have changed suddenly, which made her alert, and finally used the ninth rank to predict Spell, discovered this terrible disaster.

Then, several major empires in the central part of the continent united together like never before and directly formed a demon-conquering army led by a tenth-level demigod, directly razing the city that had been eroded by the ogres to the ground.

As a descendant of nobles, Longzel has read many books, so he naturally knows the horror of the ogre disaster.

Ordinary class people, and even transcendents in the field of physical melee, lack detection-related detection spells, and there is no way to confirm who is an ogre in human skin.

Maybe until you relax your vigilance, the ogre in the skin of the devoured will take this opportunity to stab your body with a sharp dagger with a smile.

Then its whole body will split open, revealing its true colors—like a human figure made of mud by a child, the ogre's real body is like a weak humanoid mud monster.

But if you let down your guard because of this, you will suffer a big loss!
As long as there is a need, the ogre's entire body will split open!

Literally cracked, their ooze-like soft skin will crack a series of gaps, becoming like a doll's leather case, there will be cracks on the arms, chest, and feet, just enough to hold A humanoid creature is wrapped inside.

And inside the gap, there are densely packed tiny fangs, which can chop your flesh and blood into slag like sawtooth.

But if it is an ordinary ogre, naturally there is no need to be nervous. After all, due to the shackles of this kind of creature's racial characteristics, they are only at the fourth level at most.

The ability to devour is also limited. Although it can devour many humanoid creatures like eating, there can only be one humanoid individual that can "change skin" and "replace" in the end. Once selected, it cannot be replaced.

If an ogre devours a weak human, then in the "skin-changing" state, his strength is only that of the weak human host, and he can only have the power of the third or fourth order again unless he changes back to the main body.

However, there are no absolutes in the world. For example, Longzel can't figure out even if he is killed now. Why would a fifth-level spellcaster be swallowed by an ogre?
"I heard that when an ogre devours a humanoid creature, it will secrete a highly effective liquid. This liquid can make the devoured feel extremely happy and comfortable, and forget that they are in the process of being eaten. ,. Could it be that the spellcaster wanted to experience it, and then... was swallowed carelessly?"

Uncle Kane guessed in a heavy tone that although there were still some burn wounds on his body, for a strong fourth-level physique, these wounds could only be regarded as skin trauma. After returning, he could find a priest to use healing spells to treat them.

"Are there really such stupid people in the world?" Long Zell asked.

"It's hard to say." Kane looked strange.

".Okay, but even if your guess is correct, the top priority is to escape from here as soon as possible." Longzel said, "The spellcaster has a fifth level, and he can definitely use the breath tracking technique! Stay here and hide, and you will definitely be discovered .”

"But now they are searching for our traces outside, it is difficult for us to escape!" Kane said with a frown.

Longzel's face became even more gloomy, and it's not that he didn't think about it.

As time goes by, the hiding place in this small cave will definitely be discovered by the ogres. If the ogres block the entrance of the cave, the two of them will not be able to escape even if they have wings.

"Or, I'll divert their attention, and you can escape first, young master!" Uncle Kane suggested after hesitating for a while.

"No!" Longzel immediately vetoed, looking at Kane with eyes full of anger, "Stop saying such stupid things, Uncle Kane, you have already paid enough for our family, there is no need to pay any more own life."

"Let's go out and talk now, lest it will be too late when they surround you."

After finishing speaking, Longzel rushed out without hesitation, leaving Kane with a look of astonishment.

In the end, Kane had no choice but to put on his plate armor and walked out.

However, not long after, there was a sudden explosion sound outside, followed by Longzel's screams.

Kane was shocked and stepped out of the cave at a faster speed.

After arriving outside, the first thing Kane saw was Long Zell struggling to get up on the ground. The chain armor on the latter's body was broken, and the hand holding the sword could not stop shaking.

Outside, there were several ogres surrounded at some point, and the ogre in the skin of a female spellcaster was also among them.

"Exploding the trap rune, I was careless." Longzel stood up reluctantly. He originally thought of going out and thinking of other ways to prevent Uncle Kane from doing something stupid.

But he never expected that the ogre, the spellcaster, had already ambushed at the exit of the cave, and left a blasting trap rune on the ground.

The explosion trap was triggered at close range, and even he, a fifth-level knight, was not very comfortable.

"Let's put down your resistance, you won't be tortured in pain."

The female spellcaster ogre said slowly, her face and skin were so delicate that it could almost be said to be broken by blows.

If he didn't know the details of the other party, Longzel really wouldn't recognize the ugly ogre under the pretty skin of this guy!
Longzel was too lazy to answer this inhuman monster, but gave his own response with practical actions.

A layer of faint light appeared on the surface of his body, covering his whole body.

The fifth step is only one step away from the sixth step into the extraordinary realm, but this difference is often the most difficult, and many people cannot overcome this obstacle in their lifetime.

Because this difference in level represents the gap between the mortal body and the otherworldly world.

Although there is a big difference between the fifth level and the sixth level, there is also a little connection between them.

For example, Longzel, who takes the knight as the advanced direction, can display some weak extraordinary powers at the fifth level, such as: body protection aura, breath isolation and so on.

If he reaches the sixth level, then he will be able to advance to extraordinary professions such as noble knight, heavy knight and so on.

After casting the aura of body protection, Longzel didn't hesitate, and rushed directly to the caster ogre.

Kane was shocked. Facing the siege of a strong enemy, Longzel did not choose to surround the weak point and escape, but rushed to the ogre, the most powerful spellcaster.

He quickly understood the meaning of Longzel's move, which was to delay time and let the servants of his family escape!

Without hesitation, Kane also chased after him, trying to pull Longzel back.

- Click.

There was a sudden sound of glass breaking in the space.

A pitch-black black hole appeared in front of Long Zell without warning. He fell straight into the black hole before he had any time to react.

The second person to enter the black hole was Kane who followed behind. He couldn't do anything to deal with it, so he was sucked in by the black hole's gravity.

Not only that, the gravitational pull of the black hole continues to increase, sucking in the surrounding sand, mud, air, sunlight, and even extraordinary energy such as magic in the air.

The ogres surrounded by it gradually lost their ability to resist the gravitational force, and flew into the black hole every now and then in mid-air.

The spellcaster Ogre tried to use magic to escape, but in the face of the black hole whose gravitational force was gradually increasing, her spells were difficult to compete with.

Soon, the last caster ogre also flew into the black hole.

The black hole gradually expanded, sucking in everything around it.

When everything returned to calm, the entire forest disappeared, as if it had never existed, leaving only a deserted land.
