As for the unlucky Harofensen, he was already in imminent danger under Li Shuyi's dual swords.
As for the other Naga aberrations, they were quickly cleaned up. None of the Nagas could come to support this Naga Sage.
With Bai Xiaowen's participation, Harofensen found it even harder to hold on. He was quickly knocked to the ground and tied up with ropes. Queen Camelot also stuck a special magical confinement rune on Harofensen's body. This confinement rune could last for 48 hours.
Of course, this kind of confinement rune tool was only effective on targets who had lost the ability to resist. It was useless to secretly stick it on them during combat.
"Xiaowen, let's chase after them too!"
Li Shuyi said excitedly. "The Snake Mother Gagleela is also a Lord. Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity to kill her! There are so many Snake Woman Bosses. These are all treasure chests. "
Bai Xiaowen grunted. "I hope it'll be as you wish. But I keep feeling that the Snake Mother retreated a little too decisively. "
Although the two of them spoke like this, they did not stop moving.
The Orcs chased in front while the Mages of Camelot followed behind. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were the third group to follow.
After passing through the crack between two rock walls, their field of vision widened. However, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi suddenly stopped.
Not only the two of them, but even the Mages of Camelot in front stopped in their tracks.
The Orc leaders at the front had already turned into a group of stone statues! Their faces were still filled with shock and panic.
"What happened?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Queen Camelot said, "I didn't see the whole process, but it looks like they were hit by the Snake Mother Gagleela's petrification magic. Legend has it that there are Medusas among the female Nagas. Anyone who looks directly at their hair will be petrified. It's true. "
After a pause, Queen Camelot said, "These stupid Orcs were hit and lost track of the Snake Women. We can't rashly chase after them."
Bai Xiaowen smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, you don't look nervous at all. Is that okay? Great Chieftain Kamosh and the others should be fine. "
With that said, Bai Xiaowen used Insight on one of the stone sculptures, King Kamush.
Queen Camelot looked indifferent. "The life and death of these orcs has nothing to do with me. I'm completely bound by my oath if I don't take the opportunity to exterminate them …"
A drop of sweat appeared on the back of Bai Xiaowen's head.
Fortunately, [Insight] gave him some feedback. To Bai Xiaowen's relief, King Kamush was still alive, but he had fallen into a petrified state called 'Snake Mother's Hair'.
[Snake Mother's Hair: Petrified. Unable to move, attack, or cast spells. Duration: 5 minutes. Remaining: 214 seconds. In this state, you will be immune to any non-real damage with priority level 7 and below (including 7), and you will not be able to move.]
"Phew, it seems that the Snake Mother's Hair's petrification spell only temporarily freezes the mobility of the victims … However, King Kamush and the others cannot be attacked, so this ability is not that powerful."
Thinking about it, it made sense. King Kamush was an existence close to the level of a lord, and the leader of the Orcs beside him was also a top-notch expert. It was impossible for them to be killed by a group spell. Even if Snake Mother Kaglila was a mage-type lord, it was still unlikely.
The petrification state that could freeze movement for five minutes was already very powerful in itself. In this state, they would be immune to all damage except for real damage. It was also a kind of balance between the rules of the Spiritual Realm and this skill. Otherwise, if they were controlled for five minutes, even a small soldier would be able to hack them to death.
"This move of the Snake Mother … The activation conditions should be relatively harsh, or it needs a long time to prepare." Bai Xiaowen pondered for a moment. "Otherwise, they could have not given up on Harofensen. They could have directly activated this move when they encountered us, petrified most of our combat power, and then brought Harofensen away."
"Well, that makes sense." Queen Camelot thought about it seriously. "Should we continue to chase after them, or wait for these Orcs to wake up?"
"Let's stop chasing. The main goal of this operation has been achieved."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
Soon, the Orcs woke up. When it was mentioned that they were hit, this group of burly Orcs had an angry and fearful expression on their faces.
According to the Orcs' clumsy language skills, when they were chasing after the Snake Mother, they saw that they were about to catch up with her. Unexpectedly, the hair on the back of her head came alive like a group of poisonous snakes, and the eyes of each snake head radiated a vicious red light. After everyone saw the red light, they felt their bodies become heavy, as if they were filled with lead, and their movement speed became slower and slower.
In the end, they were completely petrified, and even their thoughts were stagnant. There was a blank period of several minutes — of course, for the petrified Orcs, it was only a moment.
The group walked back to the vicinity of the leyline pillar.
Looking at the towering crystal pillar, King Camelot was a little emotional. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have imagined that the great Gaguli Plateau was supported by this giant pillar?"
"Our human prophet wanted it." Queen Camelot snorted softly.
"Tsk."
King Camelot's attitude towards the Queen still did not soften, but when he looked at Bai Xiaowen again, his expression was much gentler.
"Lord Prophet, you are not only the prophet of humans, but also the prophet of all races on the continent! Thank you for finding the leyline corridor of the Gaguli Plateau. If it weren't for you … we might still be in the dark until the moment of the earthquake and the seawater poured in. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "This is my mission, Your Excellency. You don't have to thank me. After all, the Orc Kingdom has paid me a satisfactory reward for this survey. "
Bai Xiaowen's words were also meant to remind Camelot not to forget the deal between them.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen's actions were superfluous. King Camelot laughed loudly and promised to give the mother of the wargs to Bai Xiaowen to fulfill his promise.
The other Orcs were also extremely grateful to Bai Xiaowen.
Originally, some of them were quite critical of Bai Xiaowen. After all, Bai Xiaowen had caused a lot of trouble in the Orc Kingdom these few days. These Orcs sympathized with the existence of the Shadowblade Clan out of a sense of honor.
But now, Bai Xiaowen had thwarted the Nagas' conspiracy and protected the leyline corridor and the leyline pillar of the Gaguli Plateau. This achievement had completely erased the Orcs' previous discord.
Looking around the leyline corridor one last time, King Camelot arranged for the dozen or so Orc leaders to lead the elite Orc warriors to guard here in shifts. Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, Queen Camelot, and the Mages rode on white eagles and griffins respectively, escorting the captives back to Redstone City.
