Chapter 66 Cyclops's Charge
"Boom~boom~boom~"
The roar coming from the dark cave was getting closer and closer, and the shaking of the ground was becoming more and more obvious.
Except for Ailin, the other apprentices were also trembling slightly.
This is the inherent deterrent effect of large monsters.
Although they had not yet seen Old Spearhead, the aura of chaos magic favored by the Cyclops had already begun to disrupt the apprentices' newly formed witcher senses.
"Ai... Ailin... What should we do now?"
Bonte's teeth chattered, and he immediately turned to look at Aelin.
When she found out that he was the only one who didn't behave abnormally, she couldn't help but feel more trust and reliance on him.
Ailin looked solemn. He motioned for all the apprentices to get into the water and quickly made arrangements:
"Quick! Drink the killer whale potion and hide in the water..."
Then he quickly scanned his surroundings.
At both ends of the cave are protruding, almost vertical mountain cliffs.
Stones of all sizes are scattered randomly at the foot of the mountain.
"Wow~"
Several people entered the water one after another.
After Ailin swam a few meters outward, the cat's blue eyes lit up instantly.
The mountain walls on both sides and the caves almost form a "W" shape.
The dark cave is deeply embedded in the solid rock. There is a grassy foreshore in front of the cliff on the left, while the one on the right goes directly into the water.
"Quick! Go to the right cliff, hide and don't move, then find a chance to sneak into the cave and complete the trial."
Bonte and others' eyes lit up when they heard this.
Yes!
They all had the potion that Arryn had just made, so they could hide in the water and wait for their chance.
Last night, Ailin prepared 6 bottles of killer whale for each of them.
After just using up four bottles, there are still two bottles left.
These two bottles are enough time for them to find an opportunity.
"Alin, aren't you coming with us?"
As Fred and Bonte swam towards the cliff excitedly, Hughes noticed that Ailin did not keep up with them, but turned around and seemed to be swimming in the opposite direction, so he quickly asked.
"Boom~boom~boom~"
The heavy footsteps were getting closer.
The water surface vibrated and created ripples.
Ailin didn't have time to explain to Xius and the others, and directly ordered:
"Don't worry about me, hide quickly and find a chance to enter the cave!"
Then, regardless of Xiu Si's reaction, he swam quickly to the left shore.
If there is no bait, even if the old spearhead, which feeds on water ghosts, is it really impossible to find them?
Aelin wouldn't be so naive.
As for leaving directly, that is even more impossible.
There is no retreat in the mountain trial.
Besides, the situation where the old spearhead came out of the cave on his own initiative was already the best scenario that Ailin had expected.
Without the cat's eye potion, encountering a hungry Cyclops in a lightless cave would be a real nightmare.
The Killer Lake at the entrance of the cave was very narrow, and soon Ailin walked from the water to the shore.
"Tap~tap~tap~"
He walked quickly behind the big rock he had just chosen.
Ailin looked back at the cliff on the right. Three apprentices were already in position, with only their heads above the water, looking in his direction.
He raised his hand and pressed down. After hesitating for a few seconds, the little heads disappeared underwater one after another.
"Boom~boom~boom~"
Even though he was more than a hundred meters away from the cave, the demon hunter's keen senses could still feel the ground shaking.
"This isn't normal!" Ailin thought.
Even if you are heavier, the transmission of vibration will be reduced.
But the tremors in the ground seemed only slightly weaker than at the cave entrance.
"The old spearhead might be a monster favored by the earth element."
The witcher apprentice became more alert.
Magic power flows in the body.
Igni Seal.
The evaporating heat quickly dries the clothes on your body, preventing the clothes from being soaked and affecting your movements.
"Boom~boom~boom~"
Ailin listened carefully to the vibrations and predicted that Old Spearhead would be able to come out of the cave in less than a minute, so he opened his mouth slightly.
"Quack~Quack~Quack..." The low and regular strange cries sounded like a sacrifice, but also like a curse.
Even in the sunlight, the bright blue light that was still conspicuous quickly gathered on Ailin from the void.
These points of light breathe rhythmically.
This is the Ice Spear Curse.
Due to various reasons, this was also the first time that Ailin performed this magic.
He could feel that although most of the blue magic came from the magic storage organ next to the heart, there was still a very small part that came from the outside world.
Only warlocks can convert external magic power.
"Is it because of the affinity with water?"
The strange spell continued, and the witcher was trying to figure it out in his mind.
"Om~"
A blue dot suddenly appeared on the palm of Ailin's outstretched right hand.
It quickly grew into an ice cone as thick as a thumb.
"The mysterious attribute is still too weak!" The demon hunter apprentice glanced at the short "ice spear" that had already taken shape and sighed.
"Boom~boom~boom~"
The shaking of the ground became more and more obvious.
A few seconds later, a huge figure appeared, almost naked, with only a circle of gray animal skin around the waist.
Bending over, he walked out of the dark cave.
"call out!"
A blue light flashed by in an instant.
The Cyclops had just straightened up when one of his ears was pierced instantly.
"Roar!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, the old man suddenly roared.
He covered his ears with one hand and looked around with his one eye wide open.
As soon as the witcher apprentice took one look at the bloodshot and turbid eye, he knew that his guess was correct.
Old Spearhead must have been hungry for several days.
"Damn, it's still too far!"
Ailin's target was actually the one-eye of Old Spearhead.
Of course, this is just an ideal situation.
If it weren't for the ice spear technique's inherent ability to guide the mind, the witcher apprentice probably wouldn't even be able to touch his ears.
But looking at the Cyclops's furious look, at least it did serve the purpose of attracting hatred.
“Quack, quack, quack…”
A moment later, the blue ice spear appeared again from Ailin's right palm.
It takes at least 50 magic points to release Ice Spear once. With a total magic point of 230 for a demon hunter apprentice, it can be released four times.
"call out!"
The ice spear hit the Cyclops' forehead directly, only a palm's distance away.
It’s a pity that although the ice spear can pierce through flesh and blood, it obviously cannot pierce the bones of the old spear head.
"Roar!"
The Cyclops roared again.
But this time, he found his target.
The one eye the size of a human head stared at the annoying little guy not far away.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
He swung his thick, powerful arms and in three quick steps uprooted an oak tree he passed by.
Without stopping, he held the tree horizontally with his right hand and pulled it hard with his strong left hand.
"Click——"
All the branches on the oak tree broke instantly and fell to the ground, and were crushed to pieces by Old Spearhead the next moment.
The aura of Chaos Magic's favor quickly swept to Ailin as the old spearhead confirmed his target.
He only felt his body suddenly sink, and his whole body seemed to have become several times heavier in an instant.
The Cyclops' pupils rapidly dilated.
The giant foot, which was longer than the witcher apprentice's entire body, ran faster and faster, getting closer and closer.
In a trance, it seemed as if the entire Blue Mountain was rushing towards him.
Unbeatable! Unstoppable!
