Just as Heluo was watching, a half-ter long colorless Wind Blade in the night, like a dagger handed out by an assassin, silently flew over and aid at Heluo’s slender neck.
Heluo’s eyes widened slightly, extending a finger as white as scallion, accurately tapping on the Wind Blade.
"Crash!"
The sound of glass shattering rang out, and the Wind Blade instantly disintegrated.
Heluo sprang up, a crimson egg-shaped Energy Ball grew in her right palm, and with a gentle toss, the Energy Ball, trailing a faint flaming tail, flew towards the location from which the Wind Blade was launched.
As it approached, the Energy Ball exploded with a "boom" in midair, a large mass of crimson light flooded down, spreading across an area of over a hundred square ters in the blink of an eye.
The darkness was driven away by the crimson light, grass and trees seed pressed down by a thick layer of snow, and the shape of the assailant was exposed.
Richard and Bobbobovic, joined by Heluo, looked over and saw that the attacker was a series of pitch-black snakes. The scales on their surface were crystal clear, as if sculpted from crystal, perfectly blending into the night, now reflecting a faint bloodied hue in the crimson light.
Looks a bit like the Black King Snake on Earth... Richard thought, and corresponding knowledge quickly surfaced in his mind.
Black King Snake, belonging to the order Squamata, family Colubridae, genus Lampropeltis, is non-venomous.
Although without venom, because it can resist the venom secreted by other poisonous snakes, it is often crowned with nas like King Snake or Emperor Snake, as it feeds on other venomous snakes.
This type of snake generally is more docile, attacking only when threatened with death. Its main thod of attack is constriction, similar to forest giant pythons, occasionally coiling its body into a curl, aiming the cloaca at the enemy, and spitting out waste — considered a ranged attack.
Of course, the black snakes appearing now differ from Earth’s Black King Snake.
Firstly, they are larger in size, reaching three ters in length, whereas those on Earth are only around two ters.
Secondly, a constant wind howl issues from their opened mouths, evidently possessing powerful Wind Magic abilities.
Is this the true culprit behind the Silent Forest, responsible for the deaths of multiple explorer wizard teams?
Richard pondered.
While Richard was thinking, the Demonized Black Snakes took no courtesy, raising their upper bodies like cobras, and roared out nurous Wind Blades.
About a hundred Demonized Black Snakes present, in an instant, over a hundred pieces of Wind Blades aid at Richard and the others, stirring up a storm around them.
The three quickly reacted, raising Shields for defense, and then each took action to counterattack.
Heluo waved her hand, again an egg-shaped crimson Energy Ball manifested in her hand, gently thrown into the air, shattering.
This ti, not re brilliance erged, but six spindle-shaped Flying Blades.
Each Flying Blade was only a few centiters long, like a child’s toy.
Heluo waved her hand, the six Flying Blades emitted a piercing sound, trailing a deep crimson fla tail more than a ter long as they shot towards the Demonized Black Snakes.
"Puff! Pop!"
The Flying Blades pierced the Demonized Black Snakes, leaving several barely noticeable wounds, followed by an explosive sound, the wounds rapidly exploded open. Bowl-sized cavities appeared, scales and tissue scattered in all directions, staining the ground crimson and lting into jelly-like distortion.
Several Demonized Black Snakes were critically injured.
Bobbobovic glanced at Heluo, silently putting back a bottle of grass-green potion and replaced it with a bottle of burgundy potion.
"Pop!"
Bobbobovic pulled out the stopper, quickly gulping down the potion, veins bulging in his neck, his skin afla like on fire.
"Boom!"
Bobbobovic leapt up, suspended in the air, hands waving repeatedly. The ground cracked open around him, soil defying gravity, gathering, compressing into stone balls over thirty centiters in diater, surface incinerating with hot flas, orbiting Bobbobovic like miniature cots.
Once this "cot" gathered into over ten pieces, Bobbobovic let out a low cry, over ten pieces of "cot" simultaneously hurled toward the Demonized Black Snakes.
"Rumble!"
Continuous explosions erupted, Demonized Black Snakes at the center died instantly, those on the periphery were severely injured, clearing a small area.
Richard observed everything, also took action, not using new Spells, sticking to the usual.
Controlling nurous light points to generate and form Emmsley’s Shield for defense, then condensing Langdonick’s Spear for attack, orderly eliminating one Demonized Black Snake after another.
The three being powerful Wizards, leading among the Third-level Wizards, the battle did not take long, the Demonized Black Snakes began to falter, nearly a quarter of their companions deceased, heavy losses.
"Hiss~~"
The Demonized Black Snakes hissed out, grouping three to five together, jointly launching an attack.
Wind Blades spewed from their mouths, colliding, rging into one as soon as they left the mouth, forming dagger-shaped azure Air Blades flying over.
Richard waved his hand to control Emmsley’s Shield to block, only hearing a "boom", the extrely sturdy Emmsley’s Shield shattered on the spot.
Richard’s expression shifted slightly, dodging quickly, azure Air Blade whistled by, crashing into a piece of wood outside.
Just hearing a "crash", the entire tree completely disintegrated from top to bottom, becoming a floor of powder, blown away cleanly by the wind.
"Is this the Dissociation Skill?" Bobbobovic exclaid, originally intending to take the remaining hit head-on, seeing what happened, swiftly twisted his body, landed on the ground, carelessly rolling away.
Then, retrieved a bottle of golden potion from his chest, took a large swig.
With a wave of his hand, the ground cracked, more soil gathered into rock balls. But this ti, instead of flas, golden arcing electricity danced on the surface.
"Crackle-crackle—"
Bobbobovic panted, controlling the electrified rock balls to crush the Demonized Black Snakes. With a "crash", the rock balls shattered, electricity exploded, forming a large net covering the ground.
Many Demonized Black Snakes were caught instantly, twitching and collapsing.
The electricity still arced, spreading towards distant black snakes, forcing Demonized Black Snake to interrupt the combined Dissociation Skill attack.
Heluo saw this, unwilling to give up the chance to beat the falling dog, beckoned and the six spindle-shaped Flying Blades returned, all landing in her palm.
Lips moved silently, a Spell incanted from Heluo’s mouth, Flying Blades in her palm transford, elongated, gradually forming into a dark red Energy Whip.
"Crack!"
Heluo whipped the Energy Whip, twisting around Demonized Black Snake, directly shredding the body of one Demonized Black Snake, then proceeding to ravage more.
Richard saw, also re-conjured Emmsley’s Shield, controlling Langdonick’s Spear, joining in the attack parade, stabbing at the Demonized Black Snake repeatedly.
