Link held the Terroculus in his left hand and waved the bone club in his right hand. He shook his head and mumbled something with a proud look on his face. It was impossible for him to use two staffs at the same time. The Terroculus could also be used as a medium to cast magic, but Link was used to waving the chief's scepter.
As he cast the spell, the calm pool began to move, and a whirlpool formed in the center. The whirlpool grew larger and larger, and the water seemed to become very heavy. It flowed at a slower speed and slapped against the rocks with a heavy hum. Link was still using the earth magic he was best at. If there was something hidden in the pool, it would not be able to bear it.
Sure enough, a strange roar came from the mountain wall near the water, and suddenly four big ugly heads emerged from the water. Their bloody mouths were full of sharp fangs and could swallow half a person's body. One of the heads saw Medanzo at the edge of the water and immediately shrank back. It was probably the big Ironback whose claw Medanzo cut off last time.
Medanzo had already pulled out his sword and was on full alert. At this moment, something unexpected happened. A long whip with golden spots suddenly flew out of the pool near the shore without a sound and lashed in the direction of Medanzo and Link.
Upon closer inspection, it was the tail of an Ironback Beast, but it was obviously longer and thinner than the tails of those big Ironbacks. The dark horny scales were covered with golden spots, and it came in a hurry without the slightest sound of the wind. The tail was slightly rolled down from mid-air, drawing an arc around Medanzo in front and going straight for Link behind.
If it hit, Link would die on the spot. Metatro roared as he raised his sword and slashed upwards. The sword gave off a dazzling light, and at the same time, it brought with it an invisible force that seemed to be able to support the heavens and the earth. It stopped the tail from falling and was frozen in the air by the sword light.
The magic combined with his sword skills was much more powerful than before. The sword did not directly hit the long tail, but it made a sound like gold and iron colliding. It was as if Metatro had blocked the long tail, preventing it from hitting his head. His boots were also stuck in the mud. Obviously, he was under a lot of pressure. The long tail actually had the heavy effect of earth elemental magic.
But don't forget that the tail was soft. The middle part of the tail arched upwards with the sword, and the tip still whipped towards Link, but it was a little slower and less powerful.
While Metatro was swinging his sword, Link had also cast a divine spell to protect himself. It was an earth elemental divine spell with heavy and slow effects, but it didn't have much of an effect. The sudden sneak attack should be the Ironback King. Its long tail in the water was extremely powerful, as if it didn't care that its body felt heavier, nor did it slow its speed too much.
Link's line of sight was blocked by Metatro while he was casting a spell. He looked up and saw Wei Wei coming towards him, but it was too late to dodge. In a moment of desperation, he unleashed his incredible potential and summoned an earth elemental defense with the help of the Terroculus. The long tail whipped up a yellow-gray light, shattering the earth elemental defense summoned by Link, and the tail swept his left wrist.
The long tail whipped out a yellowish-gray light, shattering the earth elemental defense that Link had summoned. The tail then swept across Link's left wrist. Fortunately, both Medanzo and he blocked it, otherwise his head would have been whipped on the spot. Fortunately, both Medanzo and he blocked it, otherwise his head would have been whipped on the spot.
At this time, Amon shouted from high above, "You guys run –!!!"
At the same time, there was a series of crisp sounds, as if many utensils had been broken. A giant beast suddenly leaped out of the water, but its forward movement was frozen. Coincidentally, a wave surged up from the pool and hit its body, turning into a layer of hard ice that froze it inside.
The Ironback King finally showed its true face. It was about the same length as the big Ironback, even a little smaller, but its body shape was not quite the same. Its body was obviously slender, but its tail was very long, accounting for about two-thirds of the whole body length. The scales all over its body were covered with golden spots.
As soon as it launched a sneak attack underwater, Amon, who was high above, felt that something was wrong. He sensed the fluctuations of the earth elements around him. It seemed that there was an Ironback here that could instinctively use the simplest earth element detection, and it could find the location of people on the shore without showing its face. Amon had also used this technique before, when he had used the fluctuations of the water element to detect Maqi, who was following him.
This Ironback King was very smart, and it knew how to avoid the strong and weak points. Its long tail went around in the air and directly attacked Link behind Medanzo, and it succeeded in one hit!
Link made a mistake. He used his best earth elemental magic to deal with the Ironback King, but the Ironback King itself was also good at similar earth elemental power, and this power was much stronger than Link's, so the effect of the magic was greatly reduced. Seeing the power and speed of the Ironback King's long tail, Amon realized that Link's "information" was wrong!
This Ironback King was definitely stronger than Medanzo, no less than an advanced warrior, and its mastery of earth elemental magic was also much stronger than Link's. Even if the two of them worked together, it would be difficult to deal with it. In an unexpected situation, it broke Link's left arm in one move. At such a close distance, of course, the two of them had to run for their lives. Amon also used his strongest magic skill, Ice Wave, to freeze the Ironback King that had just jumped out of the water.
The Ironback Beast King struggled with all its might, and the layer of ice wrapped around its body cracked and immediately broke apart. Medanzo saw that the situation was not good, but he was very obedient, turning around and pulling Link to run. The running speed of a fourth-level warrior was amazing, especially when it was running for its life. Although it was pulling a person, it was still very fast.
Fortunately, Amon cast a spell to block it, so that the two of them could run into the woods first. The Ironback King broke free from the shackles of the ice and immediately chased after them. The broken ice was rolled up by the sudden wind, turning into countless thin needle-like sharp ice crystals, shooting towards the eyes of the Ironback King in mid-air.
The Ironback King closed its eyes, and the ice crystals could not cause any damage to its hard scales. It only paused for a moment, and then continued to rush forward, looking like it was going to catch up with Link and Medanzo, and its speed was not slower than the two of them. At this time, a fire suddenly ignited at the edge of the woods, and two trees that had just fallen were burning.
This was not Amon's magic. When Medanzo fled into the woods, he swung his sword and cut down two trees in the way, and Link, whose arm was broken, used fire magic in the moment of life and death. This time, it was much more efficient than burning his own house. In an instant, the two trees were set on fire, and then his magic power was exhausted.
The suddenly ignited fire blocked the way, and the Ironback King stopped and crouched on the ground, roared angrily, and jumped up with all its strength. Although this beast could not fly, it jumped very high, directly over the fire. When it landed, the damp soil inexplicably turned into a swamp, causing its heavy body to sink into it. Above the swamp, a layer of hard, stone-like soil surged up, pressing its head and front claws inside.
Amon also cast earth elemental magic. He had no other way. This was the best way to stop the King Ironback's movements. The Ironback King in the soil let out a roar, and a faint layer of yellow light appeared on the surface of its body. It forced its way out, smashed through the hard soil, and continued to chase forward, its long tail raised in the air in an arc and disappeared into the trees.
Amon cast spells to stop the Ironback King three times in a row, buying enough time for Medanzo and Link to escape, and then he could only wish the two good luck. Amon himself was also in trouble.
As soon as the Ironback King disappeared into the trees, the fiercest big Ironback King had climbed up the mountain wall, opened its mouth with sharp teeth, and pounced on Amon. Amon was not tall, like an adult dwarf, holding a branch in his hand. Obviously, it was not as dangerous as a warrior's sword. It seemed to be defenseless, but this big Ironback had hit a nail on the head.
The "branch" in Amon's hand was a whole piece of fine iron, not only a staff but also a weapon. It was much heavier than a warrior's sword, and it was just right for dealing with this big Ironback King whose skin was so thick that even a sword couldn't pierce through it. Amon looked down from above and hit the Ironback King's shoulder with all his strength, and at the same time, a gust of wind rolled its body out of the mountain wall.
Not even the warriors or mages on the road had seen this scene, let alone the Ironback King. Amon could use the power of magic even when the staff hit the body directly. With one strike, the Ironback King was knocked down from the cliff. It fell into the pool, but there was no splash. Instead, there was a heavy sound, and several cracks appeared on the water surface.
How could there be cracks on the water surface? There was a thick layer of ice in the pool, and the shape of the water surface was slanted and solidified. Just now, when Amon cast a spell on the mountain wall, a wave surged to the shore, and the water near the mountain wall sank. After the ice formed, the entrance to the nest was completely exposed.
The Terroculus that was knocked away fell into the pool and rolled along the slanted ice into the nest of the Ironback King. Amon could not lose this thing. There was a message left by Crazy 'Ole in it. In a hurry, he waved his staff to activate all the power of the Aquaticore, continuously making the ice thicker and thicker in the pool, so that the Terroculus did not fall into the water and he could get it back.
The big Ironback King did not break the ice when it fell. Then there was a loud bang, and another big Ironback King fell from the mountain wall and hit the Terroculus. The two big Ironback Beasts were all confused from the fall. The other big Ironback Beast that was climbing up the mountain turned around and came down again. The last Ironback Beast that had a broken claw never went up.
Amon smashed one down with his iron rod and rolled the other down with his magic, mainly because he was standing in a good position and he was very skilled with all kinds of magic. Amon shouted and waved his staff again. A gust of wind blew, and a biting cold mist hit the four big Ironbacks on the ice. The big Ironback King, who had been frightened by him, turned around and went into the dense forest at the foot of the hill, giving up guarding the nest by the pool.
Amon's magic was not only stronger than Link's, but his staff was also much more powerful. More importantly, he stood in the right position and used the right method. He knew the habits of the Ironbacks. They were animals that hibernated, and the cold would slow them down and make them fall into a deep sleep. Although the mutated big Ironbacks were much stronger than ordinary Ironbacks, they still had their natural habits, and they were finally driven away by the biting cold.
Amon, however, did not dare to jump down the cliff to get the Terroculus from the nest. He did not know if the four big Ironbacks had gone far. It was not fun to be surrounded at the foot of the cliff, and the king of the Ironbacks could come back at any time. When that time came, no one could cover him.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that there was an accomplice in the leather bag on his shoulder. Schrödinger could obviously understand human language, and immediately patted the leather bag and shouted, "Schrödinger, go down and get the Terroculus back, I'll protect you! … If you don't go down, I'll throw you down. "
Before the voice died away, the cat jumped out of the bag with a whoosh and went down the cliff, much more agile and faster than the big Ironback King. It only disappeared for a moment at the bottom of the cliff, and immediately ran back up with a long, white thing in its mouth.
Amon's nose was almost crooked with anger, and he shouted, "I want the Terroculus, the black parangon, not this bone!"
