Chapter 246: Chapter 246
"Priest, a human continually releases this strange magic above us and has already killed one of our Sand Sculpture Knights."
They only saw Du You kill one, but they didn’t see the deaths of the other five.
The old man with the cane furrowed his brow, touching the ground with his stick, which got stuck by the mucus. It took him great effort to pull his cane free after it drew out long strings of the mucus.
"I’m not sure of the purpose of this spell, but we cannot let it continue."
"It’s just poisonous. The toxicity is not sufficient to threaten us. Isn’t it useless?"
The priest shook his head: "No, if it were truly useless, he would not do this. Even the arrow-like spell you previously mentioned that can kill some people from the sky, but now he uses this. No one knows what he wants to do, but the humans will certainly not let us off easily."
"What should we do then?" The person was hesitant.
The Priest thought for a moment, then declared, "Tell everyone to hide underground and not come out."
The eyes of the people around lit up: "Yes, we can’t reach him anyway, so maybe we should hide. Perhaps this could lure him down."
After saying that, the command was conveyed. However, soon, many people found out that they could not dive down to the mucus regions. Only other areas allowed them to go underground.
"Get out, the mucus prevents us from getting underground; let’s go somewhere else."
The Sandpeople moved around, Du You quickly noticed something was wrong. "I can’t let them all run away. Otherwise, what about my trap? Wait a second. I still have this." Du You pulled out a scroll.
Holy Armor Legion Summon Scroll: Summons a hundred 4-tier Holy Armor Legions (Heavily Armed Legion), duration two hours (Bright White 2/2)
With the activation of the scroll, a bright white light shot directly onto the ground. Instantly, countless figures appeared. A hundred Holy Armor Legions, entirely covered in bulky armor, only revealed their eyes.
A massive shield that could wrap them entirely was held in their left hand and a heavy sword in their right hand. With this armor, even those of a higher level would find it very difficult to penetrate their defenses.
Du You was reluctant to use this precious scroll, but this time, in order to exterminate this large Sandpeople gathering, he took it out eventually.
"Look, men! These damned humans finally appeared, kill them."
The Sandpeople who were hiding initially, immediately popped out from underground. Shrouded in quicksand, they viciously charged into these figures. Those who were stuck also dragged their feet from the mucus, running over to this side.
The location where the Holy Armor Legion appeared was also a mucus region. However, they were not worried at all, as they were never reliant on speed in the first place. Under Du You’s command, these heavily armed warriors remained in their positions, forming a formation.
They kept sinking because of the weight of the armor on their bodies, and the swamp didn’t allow them to float.
However, the swamp also had its limits. When it sunk to the knee level, it stopped. This was the deepest part of the swamp. As the power of the Spell amplified, this swamp’s depth was also gradually increasing.
What annoyed Du You was that the Holy Armor Legion he summoned was collectively poisoned.
"Dammit, I forgot about this point. Fortunately, as long as they can hold on for a while, that would be fine." Du You continued to use his time wisely, extending his mucus coverage around the gathering grounds
"Tell everyone to leave, do not attack." The Priest called out loudly.
However, how could those people, who had been tormented for so long, listen to this command. Hence, some people obeyed the command, but many were not willing to obey, causing the team’s formation to start getting chaotic. For more chapters visıt novel•fire.net
After all, these Sandpeople were not a regular army, and could not follow commands strictly.
Seeing the situation was out of control, the priest shook his head helplessly: "Let the army get rid of the summoned. After that, continue to hide." After the army was dispatched, the Priest was gazing into the sky.
"It seems that we cannot stop his plan until this man is eliminated."
As a Quicksand Priest, the high Priest was not proficient in long-range attacks, but no matter what, he was still a Magic-class figure.
A bleak prayer began to recite from the old priest’s mouth. The sound started weakly but gradually became louder and more resonant.
Around the old priest, the sand on the ground began to whirl around, even the mucus failed to hinder it. After a moment, the mucus was wrapped up by the quicksand, and the surrounding areas turned into a whirlpool of quicksand.
When the whirlpool was fully formed, the old Priest pointed towards Du You, multiple sand arrows shot straight at him from the ground, propelling into the air.
Caught off guard by the attack, Du You jumped in fright. He didn’t expect that someone on the ground could still attack him.
"The power is decent, but unfortunately, the aim isn’t accurate enough, and there aren’t many, that’s good. "
After evading an attack, Du You was relieved. He finally noticed the old man outside the largest building. While flying at a low altitude, he confirmed his profession.
Quicksand Priest: Level 10
It had not reached the second tier, but it was a profession that the Sandpeople deeply revered.
Coming across a Quicksand Priest in this remote small assembly, Du You had hit the jackpot. This meant the merits would certainly be his.
Du You only knew a bit about the Quicksand Priest and didn’t expect to encounter one here.
However, even if it was a Quicksand Priest, the Priest was only level 10. Even if he had any special tricks, he could only rely on the power of the earth to activate them. As long as Du You flew in the sky, the opponent couldn’t do anything to him.
The Quicksand Priest on the other hand was becoming more and more distressed. He wasn’t adept at dealing with a force from the air.
The Quicksand Priest had surreptitiously sent a signal, hoping that the remaining five Sand Sculpture Knights would hurry back and help him capture this human. What he didn’t know was that all of their Sand Sculpture Knights had already been wiped out.
So, the Quicksand Priest could only keep launching futile attacks, causing Du You some trouble.
While Du You needed to dodge the quicksand attacks, he didn’t feel threatened. He continually released more mucus swamps, covering the entire Sandpeople assembly area. Gradually, the mucus swamp were nearly covering all the places.
At this point, these Sandpeople had no thought of escaping, but crowded together wanting to kill those from the Holy Armor Legion.
