The cutting angle of the wind blade was specially designed by Qi Ji. The slope of the wooden piles is all facing outward, which means that the direction in which the trees fall radiates outward.
Looking down from above, it looked like a violent explosion had knocked over all the trees.
Without the shelter of treetops and leaves, the sunlight poured down unhindered, dispelling every inch of darkness in the space and revealing the figures hiding within.
There were a dozen burly men wearing sloppy vests and short-sleeved shirts, revealing their scarred and rough skin.
They all held weapons in their hands, but they were not uniform and were rather crude, mostly sticks, non-standard sharp weapons, hammers, pitchforks and the like.
"Robbers?" Qi Ji looked at these people and tilted his head in confusion.
This is a government road, only a few kilometers away from the city, and it's in broad daylight. How dare someone rob?
"Uh……"
A dozen sturdy men holding scrap copper and iron were all stunned. Their originally fierce faces became dull, and they seemed unable to understand what was happening.
"Mage?!"
After a moment of daze, they finally came to their senses, with extreme horror and a hint of...anger in their eyes.
"Hey! Les, you bastard!" A robber who looked like a leader shouted in one direction, his voice full of anger of being deceived, "You said before that there would be no extraordinary people!"
There was no human figure in that place except for the messy weeds, as if he was shouting to the air.
However, just as his words faded into the gradually cooler afternoon air, a small dot suddenly appeared on the empty ground without any warning.
Black, round, barely noticeable dots.
As soon as the black spot appeared, it quickly surged and spread around as if it had life, eventually covering an area of about one or two meters in radius.
Then, the originally flat black surface bulged from the middle, rising higher and higher until it reached a height of nearly two meters.
At first glance, it looks like a huge piece of pure black cloth covering a person, which is both funny and absurd and terrifying.
"What is this?"
Qi Ji looked at the bulge of black and immediately sensed a strong spiritual aura.
"Adventurer," the black voice suddenly spoke. It was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman, and it didn't even sound like a human. It was more like some kind of mechanically synthesized metallic sound. "This matter has nothing to do with you. Please do not interfere in our private affairs."
With each syllable uttered, a large number of complex dark red lines and runes lit up on the black raised surface, and then immediately went out until the next syllable sounded.
And every time it lights up, the dark red lines on its surface are different, flashing and dazzling.
"You killed the driver's horse," Qi Ji pointed at the horse lying on the ground with a black spike piercing its neck, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I repeat, adventurer," Gao Long's black face flashed a dark red light again, "Leave this place immediately and don't make a sound. This is my order."
Qi Ji smiled: "Do you think it's possible?"
"very good."
The black bulge emitted a voice without any emotion or tone, but this time, there were no dark red lines on its surface, as if something was brewing:
"Then you choose death."
Chapter 109: Fighting the Tentacle Monster
Qi Ji became alert when he saw this.
It wasn't that she was worried about her own safety, but she was worried that this thing would attack Gary's family in the carriage when she wasn't paying attention.
From the conversation just now, it was obvious that these people did not know him, so this sudden attack had nothing to do with him, and was not a pursuit by the Grace Holy Church or the evil forces.
Therefore, their only target was Gary's family in the car.
Although Qi Ji still didn't understand what was worth robbing from these honest city residents.
Money? Gary is just a teacher, how much money does he have?
Is this small amount of money worth at least one extraordinary person leading a dozen people to ambush on the official road only a few kilometers away from the city?
But these doubts did not prevent her from making judgments that were adapted to the current situation.
She stretched out her fair and delicate little hand, and without turning her head, she gently pointed at the deformed carriage behind her:
"Basic Elementary Spells II."
A deep red dome appeared out of nowhere from high above and fell vertically, just covering the carriage where Gary's family was staying, but it did not stir up a speck of dust and did not make any sound, as if it had no weight.
At the same time as all this was done, the black bulge changed.
A large number of bubble-like bulges appeared on its originally smooth surface, then immediately flattened out and immediately reappeared at other locations, as if a living thing was crashing inside.
Intense dark red light gushed out, interweaving into countless complex and twisted runes on its surface and the surrounding space, full of madness.
Just a few glances can make people feel manic from the bottom of their hearts.
In the strange blood-red light, countless tentacles spewed out from the constantly undulating surface of the black bulge. They were all black tubular objects that were nearly as thick as an adult's arm, soft and flexible.
These tentacles broke through the air with unimaginable force and speed, rushing towards Qi Ji with the whistling sound of the wind, with the brutal momentum to tear him to pieces on the spot.
"Sunset, what is this!"
The Gary family in the carriage had already recovered from the trance caused by the shock, but they immediately heard a huge noise coming from outside, and they were all filled with fear and anxiety.
Taking advantage of the quiet moment, Mrs. Gary couldn't control her curiosity. She carefully opened the curtain a little and observed the situation outside with one eye.
Just as the focus of her pupils adjusted to the suddenly stronger light, she saw countless disgusting and terrifying tentacles surging towards her, and she was so scared that she jumped back!
"Honey, what did you see?!"
Gary hurriedly caught his wife to prevent her from flying out through the curtain on the other side, and asked her anxiously and horrifiedly what she had witnessed.
Mrs. Gary's face turned pale, and her bloodless lips moved, and she uttered a word in fear:
"monster……"
“Swish! Swish! Swish!…”
Dozens of thick and powerful black tentacles swept over, but Qi Ji stood still, with a calm expression, as if there was only a harmless breeze in front of him.
Only a part of those tentacles hit Qi Ji directly, while the other part twisted in an arc, went around in another direction and pounced on the carriage protected by the crimson dome!
"This is an entity formed purely by magic... This is the first time I've seen this type of attack."
Qi Ji curled up his lips into a mocking smile and grabbed a tentacle that was rushing towards his face with one hand!
"Clap!"
The tentacles that were rushing forward suddenly stopped, and the part that was still rushing forward did not stop, and all gathered into a ball in front of Qi Ji's hands.
A strong and fierce air wave erupted, sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground far away - this was the wave generated when the tentacles were forcibly braked, which shows how strong its force is!
However, even so, this menacing tentacle could not move forward any further. The seemingly delicate and exquisite little hand held it firmly, and no matter how it struggled, it was of no avail.
But there is more than one tentacle.
Its subsequent companions swarmed in and attacked Qi Ji from all directions with incredible speed and agility, engulfing her body in an instant.
A large number of thick tentacles entangled with each other, entangling Qi Ji who was in the center. Even before the branches and leaves that were swept away could fall, her figure completely disappeared.
Instead, there is a large ball of shiny black thread, composed of long and thick tentacles. The constantly wriggling appearance looks like countless entangled maggots, which is very disgusting.
These entangled tentacles exerted force at the same time, contracting inward with terrifying force, as if they wanted to crush Qi Ji directly!
As if this was not enough, the dark red runes floating around the black bulge on the tentacle's body also moved, all rushing towards the black mass of tentacles and attaching themselves to it one after another.
The constantly squirming and shrinking tentacles were like cloth thrown into a dye vat, and in the blink of an eye they were dyed dark red like dried blood.
"Whoo-"
A long and piercing sound came out from it. Under the blessing of the red runes, the temperature of the tentacles rose rapidly. Even the robbers standing more than ten meters away could feel the scorching heat wave.
"This guy is really cruel..." One of the robbers sighed in fear, "That little girl has turned into charcoal, right?"
"Tsk tsk, they didn't know how to be gentler and at least leave the body intact," another robber shook his head regretfully, "Although I didn't see her face, the female mage must be pretty... I wanted to try it out for a change, but now there's nothing left."
The robber leader looked normal, as if he had gotten used to the black bulge's tricks:
"Stop talking nonsense to me. When Mr. Rice breaks the defensive spell set by the female wizard, you guys go over and tie up the people in the carriage..."
"boom!--"
The dark red tentacle ball suddenly exploded, and sticky fragments splashed like raindrops. The residual heat burned the onlookers and made them scream, and the heat dripped onto the wet ground, making a hissing sound when it evaporated.
Qi Ji's figure reappeared at the position originally occupied by the tentacle group, with rising steam lingering around him, disrupting the conduction of light, making him look psychedelic and hazy.
"You said you looked like a tower that stood still and dealt damage, how did you turn into a tentacle monster?"
Qi Ji's tone was very relaxed and playful. In his hand he was holding a piece of black, shiny broken tentacle, which was rapidly evaporating and dissipating in the surging white steam.
On the other side, the tentacles that attacked the carriage had reached their target, striking the crimson dome light film with a force as powerful as thunder, but were completely unable to shake it, and could not even create a single ripple on the dome's surface.
The first wave of attacks launched by the black bulge seemed to be ineffective.
But at this moment, something strange happened!
The dead horse lying on the ground, having long lost all vital signs, suddenly underwent a strange change.
This change did not come from the horse itself, but...
The black spike that pierced its neck and caused its death!
It became soft in a very short time, and then seemed to be endowed with life, twisting extremely flexibly.
It suddenly jumped out from the corpse and swam on the ground at an extremely fast speed, like a vicious and sinister black poisonous snake.
The dark red dome covered a wide area, including the dead horse, so...
This "venomous snake" got into the carriage without any hindrance!
Chapter 110 Another "Battlefield"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Mrs. Gary and her husband held the two children tightly in their arms and kept comforting them, but her own voice was trembling, "It will be okay..."
Daisy huddled against her mother's chest, her brown eyes wide open. In addition to fear, her expression was more of confusion, as if she hadn't yet understood her current situation.
The younger brother, Youer, seemed to have no sense of crisis at all. He moved his body and tried to lift the car curtain to see outside, but was pulled back by Gary, who had a livid face, and held him tightly.
"boom!"
A dull and violent noise erupted outside, accompanied by the clatter of a large amount of tiny, sticky objects falling to the ground, as well as disturbing, painful screams.
The thick car curtains were suddenly swung inwards, and abnormally hot air poured into the car.
Mrs. Gary held Daisy in her arms, her eyes fixed on the curtains that were gradually stopping shaking, listening to the lingering screams and some slimy and heavy impact sounds from outside, and her heart became increasingly uneasy.
"Gulu..."
She swallowed hard; the scene she had just seen through the gap made it impossible for her to keep calm.
What exactly is that terrifying thing?
Why would they target such an ordinary and honest family?
That mysterious-looking female wizard... can she really stop this monster and keep her family safe?
These thoughts kept popping up in my mind and lingered for a long time.
The disturbing noises from the outside world gradually subsided.
But her heartbeat became more and more agitated, her breathing became heavier, and her pulse was pounding in her neck in panic.
Although the little girl with the strange name did show magical abilities beyond ordinary people, it did not bring her much sense of security.
It is amazing that she can transform ordinary glass ornaments into magical glowing objects, but it does not reflect her fighting ability at all.
Maybe the magic level of this Yao Liuliu is not that high, or he even has no direct combat capability. He is just an apprentice-level wizard who knows some tricks?
Mrs. Gary didn't know much about the supernatural world, so she could only rely on the other party's performance and her own intuition to judge their strengths and weaknesses.
Those tentacles dancing and wriggling wildly... just a quick glance could make one deeply feel the brutal and barbaric violence, it was a terrible brute force that was enough to destroy buildings!
In front of them, Yao Liuliu's slender and delicate body was like a piece of duckweed before a surging tsunami, so small and fragile that it made people feel sad.
Can she...really protect the safety of her family?
This question repeatedly appeared in Mrs. Gary's mind.
However, every time the answer came to her mind subconsciously...it made her more and more terrified.
The sound of the sticky and wet substance exploding and falling just now was very similar to... the sound made by some very brutal force tearing flesh into pieces.
