Chapter 250: How to Find the Missing
(I have completed 6k, and here is today's update... It was about six in the morning when I finished the revision. I was on a two-pronged approach of intravenous drip and typing, which caused my wrist and forearm to still hurt. If I continue to be sick, I feel that updating will be a problem)
"Yeeeeeart!"
Before Anivia's aid spell arrived, Abes had already taken the lead.
The ogre had clearly tried his best to tighten his hands and arms, but the distance between the stick and Abes' neck was still forcibly stretched.
Bang!
And then, a pair of huge sticks hit Abes's head.
But obviously, that's what helmets are for.
He was not affected much, as if nothing had happened. After shaking his neck, Abes stretched forward and then followed up with a powerful kick.
Tear it apart!
Already besieged by three-headed ogres, Abes was no longer arrogant at this time. He no longer just used the battle marks left by the simulated gods, but actually used the infusion of divine power.
And when the power of the war field that was able to fight back and forth with the gray "giant" carrying a floating island as clothes is now about to fall on a large giant of ordinary size like the ogre.
This move is absolutely terrifying.
With just a little effort, Abes tore off the arms of the ogre behind him, allowing his body, which had been suspended in the air for a while, to return to the ground.
"Aaaargh!"
The ogre made a chaotic sound that sounded like a wailing and a war cry.
However, everyone knew that they had already begun to lose the battle.
Because the ogre's body was still standing there.
But its arms, holding the javelin horizontally, had already begun to rotate in the air and then fell to the side of its body.
Question: If your arm fell off, what would be your first subconscious choice?
Pick it up...
Subconsciously picking up body parts is an instinct engraved in biological genes.
But there are no hands available for them to pick up the things.
And only after that did the intense pain of losing my arm come flooding in like a wave.
"Then, the remaining two!"
Abes took a step forward.
And next came the last two ogres.
One of them had been attacked in the side by Abes and was doomed to die of bleeding. At this moment, it was just stuffing its flowing intestines back in, doing some futile things like that.
As for the other one, the one who had failed in a sneak attack with a pair of sticks, his ugly expression froze instantly, and he retreated actively.
Just as Abes was about to chase him, he heard Anivia ask, "Master Qian Zhongzhan, please let me go."
"Okay, Anivia, just go ahead and do it... Also, Mr. Soran, do you also need something as proof of hunting? Generally speaking, ordinary hunters would not hunt ogres as their prey."
Because at this point, Abes knew that Soran or Anivia would no longer be in danger.
Therefore, Abes wanted to let these two perform.
This is also a gesture of goodwill to the hunter.
Since the other party is tracking the ogre, there must be a reason for it.
So, Anivia cast the spell first.
This time, it was not the Karma Fire, nor the Death Cloud Technique.
Completely different from the methods he had seen before, this time the force that Anivia was ready to unleash was actually the Zerg.
Are insects breeding?
No, that was clearly not the sound of a magic trick.
Covering the whole sky, like a canopy of heaven...
After observing for about two seconds, Abes realized that it was a swarm of plague insects.
Designate a point within the casting range, and fill a spherical area with a radius of 20 feet around that point with swarms of man-eating flying insects.
These swarms will round corners and continue to spread.
The result is that if left uninterrupted, the entire area will eventually become difficult terrain.
The effect of covering the sky and blocking the sun is also a good visual distraction.
Of course, those were not ordinary flying insects, but things with effects similar to those of plague.
If you are physically unable to bear it, the risks you will have to bear will be huge.
Did she just want to use this to save herself from being strangled?
“A very smart choice.”
And now, even though Abes no longer needs to be saved, Anivia's move is still a useful means.
Because, the flying insects of the plague are an absolute killer to an ogre whose stomach is already ripped open.
The ogre groaned in pain, and in a very short time, the wounds on his body began to emit a foul stench.
Surrounded by the swarm of plague insects released by Anivia, the flying insects began to wriggle over his wounds, making a harsh buzzing sound.
Although, like goblins, hobgoblins, and bear goblins, ogres do not pay much attention to hygiene, and their entire bodies often exude an unpleasant odor that is a mixture of stale sweat and blood.
But generally speaking, they are accustomed to harboring filth and dirt, and it is difficult for them to be infected by wounds caused by ordinary swords and knives.
Moreover, the ogre's skin is rough and thick, so wounds are unlikely to be inflicted and deep, so there is no need to worry about further trouble at all.
However... when the plague flies, whose effect was equivalent to that of the plague spell, approached, the situation was completely different.
The ogre, with a deep wound on his flank, struggled.
Its huge body moved clumsily, trying to shake off the rampant flying insects.
However, every movement brought severe pain, and the flesh at the wound was constantly torn. But then, the pain at the wound no longer mattered, because - the whole body began to hurt.
These small flying insects with sharp breath, like demons crawling out from the depths of hell, swarmed densely and covered his wounds. As a result, it was as if countless knives were cutting back and forth on his body.
The magic power of the spell allows these insects to reproduce and spread rapidly in a short period of time.
Therefore, in the end, every time the ogre struggled in vain, the only feedback he could see was that more flying insects flew out of his wounds, as if his body itself was a nest of these insects.
Even though the ogre tried his best to wave his arms as thick as tree trunks, trying to swat away the flying insects, the strength of their attachment and the speed at which they reproduced made his efforts in vain.
Even though there was already a lot of blood and broken insect corpses on the ogre's huge palm, the more flying insects inside never stopped greedily snatching its flesh and blood.
As time goes by, no matter how "large" such a giant is, there will only be one result.
dead!
His movements became slow, and his breathing became rapid and heavy again, turning into a final moan that was squeezed out of his throat.
However, even the ogre's consciousness fell into death and emptiness.
The flying insects still did not stop their invasion.
His eyes were covered with gray, and his flesh and blood shriveled up bit by bit.
And when a feeling of dry wood appeared on this "fresh" corpse, the spell came to an end.
The buzzing swarm of flying insects soon transformed into pure energy and dissipated.
----------
While observing further, behind Abes, Soran, who had been a little absorbed in watching the battle, realized that the man in front of him wanted him to take action.
"Eh... am I going to fight the last ogre?"
In response, Abes simply made a cheering gesture to the hunter and said, "The last three will be one for each of you. Don't worry, Anivia and I will help you."
"Perhaps you can prove your strength by cutting off its ears yourself."
Of course, Abes did not let an ordinary person go to deal with the last ogre for no reason. It was because he knew very well that this ogre had just been waving a pair of huge sticks, and his sneak attack on him failed, and instead the bones of his arms were shattered.
Now, unless the ogre can use his feet as flexibly as hands to fight like a monkey, otherwise, the last ogre is nothing more than an empty shell that can escape.
Since the hunter has been guiding and tracking for a long time, why not let him have the chance to take a head as well.
By then, by taking advantage of this favor, Abes might be able to gain a higher initial favorable impression in the other party's heart.
So, Soran took a deep breath and tightly gripped the bow in his hand.
His heart beat faster and he could almost hear his blood rushing in his ears.
Although he had participated in basic military training and had some basic hunting experience.
But a monster is a monster.
Even though the hero next to him, who was wearing heavy armor and a shield, had demonstrated the ability to kill four ogres instantly; the half-elf with blond double-helix hair also had his own unique skills.
This made Soran realize that he could definitely be protected by them and his life would be saved.
However, at this moment, the tension still did not fade away from Soran.
Ogres are no ordinary enemies, after all; they are beasts whose power and cruelty far exceed what ordinary humans can handle.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at Qian Zhong Zhan and Anivia behind him.
Although he could not see the face beneath the helmet, Soran could feel a firm, encouraging gaze.
"Then...I'll start."
Soran had a dagger on him, but in priority, he used a longbow.
After all, not everyone can be like Lord Qian Zhongzhan who just now was able to take the initiative when facing the advantage of the huge attack range brought by the large size of the ogre.
After witnessing the deaths of his five companions one after another, the other side seemed to have realized that a head-on confrontation was not a wise move.
Enduring the severe pain in his arm, the only thing he wanted to do was to run.
Escape quickly before these two terrible enemies, Abes and Anivia, start to kill again.
Even though the only one attacking him now was Soran, it didn't dare to stay any longer.
Seeing that the other party did not attack but ran away, Soran felt much more at ease.
He gently pulled an arrow from his back, put it on the bowstring, and aimed at the back of the ogre's neck.
The bow and arrow in his hand trembled slightly, but Soran quickly adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind.
"Calm, accurate, and deadly."
He silently repeated in his mind several key points he had learned during military training.
After that--
"go with!"
He pulled the bowstring, and this time the arrow was not deliberately missed to attract attention. This was the first time that Soran used the same confident execution as he used to deal with his prey to fight against this evil monster that he knew he could not defeat from the beginning.
