Chapter 138 Leprechaun

Just when Joan was hesitating whether to sound the warning, the leprechaun had already walked up to the flat and smooth tree stump, waved a slender cane like burning pokers to pick up the dead branches and fallen leaves that fell on the stump, and lightly jumped onto the tree stump, which was almost as tall as him. The tree stump, which was as tall as a head, sat comfortably on it and yawned a lot, as if it was about to lie down and take a nap. However, at this moment, the tree stump suddenly trembled.

Joan's eyes widened suddenly! That's right, the stump is shaking, it's no illusion!

The little leprechaun also sensed that something was wrong, jumped up from the tree stump with a "swoosh", and leaned over vigilantly to look around. However, he has not realized that the danger does not come from the snakes lurking under the tree stump, but the tree stump itself—to be precise, it is not a tree stump, but a "strange" disguised as a tree stump.

The leprechaun finally realized that he was in a pre-arranged trap, screamed and jumped off the tree stump to run away, but it was too late, the ground within five feet around the tree stump suddenly shook, the grass and soil were like a pot The violently boiling porridge shook the little leprechaun to the ground and gnawed his mouth full of mud.

Before the unfortunate goblin could get up, the surrounding ground split into countless criss-crossing gullies, like greedy throats, trying to swallow the little prey alive. Eight dark and flexible tentacles stretched out from the depths of the cracks in the ground, like snakes wriggling, entangled the leprechaun tightly, and dragged it towards the stump monster.

The stump monster also took off its disguise at this time, revealing its true colors in front of its prey. The stump-shaped body was split longitudinally in the direction facing the leprechaun. It has a big black mouth full of sharp teeth, and sticky saliva flows down the corners of the mouth, like melted turpentine.

The leprechaun screamed in terror and swung his cane desperately to beat the tentacles wrapped around his legs. The tiny cane couldn't kill the tentacle at all, and the leprechaun was still being dragged close to the stump's greedy throat.

The leprechaun made one last effort, hurling his stick at the stump's body with all his might. The stump monster seemed to disdain to dodge, and swallowed the small weapon into its throat with a big mouthful, and bit it into pieces.

Hearing the terrifying sound of sharp teeth crushing the cane, the leprechaun naturally thought that it would be his own bones to meet the same fate, trembling all over, crying for help desperately.

Joan looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was rippling. In this primitive jungle, the natural law of the weak and the strong dominates all beings. Hunting and being hunted are the most common things. The scene in front of you is actually just the daily hunting that can be seen everywhere in the jungle. Joan admitted that the stump monster's practice of trapping the leprechauns was beyond reproach, and it was just to use their brains for survival. This kind of strange monster living in the forest is not very evil. Just like wild animals such as leprechauns and even tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, they cannot be judged good or bad by the moral standards of human society. However, when he heard the leprechaun's miserable whine, he still couldn't bear it.

Between the Stump Monster and the Leprechaun, Joan obviously sympathized with the latter, not only because the Leprechaun's appearance and habits were closer to humans, but also because it was the one being hunted. Joan is not a good person in the absolute sense, but the simple rural town he lived in and the education he received since he was a child have prompted him to form a simple concept of sympathy for the weak and anti-bullying.

The little leprechaun's desperate cries for help reached his ears, Joan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to intervene. Quickly completing the preparations for casting, Joan quietly released the "Hand of the Higher Mage", and the invisible magic hand held the "Electric Blade" tightly and flew towards the open space in the forest. With a few swipes, all the tentacles entangled with the leprechaun were cut off.

The leprechaun rolled and fell on the lawn. The tree stump monster on the opposite side let out an angry howl, and dark green blood sprayed out from the tentacles, dancing wildly. As soon as Joan rescued the leprechaun, he ran towards the river, intending to get on his horse and flee the scene before the stump monster caught up.

Joan retreated to the pine tree where the horse was tied and looked back, and found that the stump monster had just pulled out its lower body from the soil, and was climbing on the ground with its tentacles like countless roots, like a big octopus landed on the shore. It moves as slowly as a tortoise.

Joan couldn't help laughing at this scene. With the turtle-like speed of the tree stump, it is impossible to catch up with him, but he was too careful before. After a little thought, Joan gave up his original intention of escaping as soon as possible, and turned to the remote control "Hand of the High Mage" to stab the stump monster with an electric light blade from a hundred feet away. If the monster tried to grab the dagger with its tentacles, Joan would activate the magic power of the Lightning Blade, release an arc of electricity to bombard the stump monster, and take back the dagger while its tentacles were paralyzed by the electricity.

The stump moved with difficulty to chase after Joan, but Joan kept a distance from it vigilantly, leading it around in the woods, as if flying a kite. When the stump monster's dull mind finally realized that he would never be able to catch up to that cunning young mage, his body had been pierced with no less than ten wounds by the lightning blade. The stump monster reluctantly gave up chasing, turned around and tried to escape into the depths of the dense forest. Joan took the opportunity to catch up with it, and stabbed it twice in the back with the remote-controlled electric light blade. The stump monster finally let out a desperate cry, stopped moving slumped, collapsed on the ground bleeding profusely, and stopped breathing within two minutes.

Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief, retracted the lightning blade, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The little leprechaun, who had escaped death, cautiously poked his head out of the bushes, grabbed a stone and threw it at the stump monster's body. After confirming that he was really dead, he got out of the bushes and walked up to Joan. He took off his hat solemnly and bowed, thanking him for saving his life.

Qiao An also bowed and returned the salute, expressing his help in the half-baked Mu language, you are welcome. Just when he was about to leave and go on the road, the leprechaun's old face, which was in sharp contrast to his figure, showed a distorted smile, and suddenly raised his hand and shot him a beam of colorful brilliance.

Qiao An never expected that the little leprechaun would avenge his kindness, and suddenly attacked him, and was hit by the colorful light in his hand, suddenly felt sore eyes, dizzy, like a felled wooden stake falling on his back Next, the consciousness gradually becomes blurred.

At the last moment before he fell into a coma, Joan realized that the leprechaun just took off his hat and bowed to cover up the spellcasting action of his left hand, and then the spell that was shot at him was called "Colorful Jet". Although it would not kill him on the spot, it did will temporarily render him unconscious.

What happens after that? Qiao An didn't dare to think about it, and didn't have time to think about it, and fell into a coma with deep anger and regret.

...

Fortunately, "Colorful Jet" is only a 1st-level spell. Qiao An only woke up after being unconscious for less than a minute. bag" unwrapped.

Surprised and angry, Joan suddenly sat up and yelled. The little leprechaun was startled by him, and quickly grabbed the "storage bag" and ran away.

Joan watched the ungrateful thief get into the dense forest, and his blood was about to freeze.

The storage bag is not only a precious gift from his grandfather, but also contains all his belongings. If the money is lost, how will he pay the tuition fees at Leiden College?

Could it be that the opportunity to study and further study that was obtained with great difficulty just disappeared like this?

When the little leprechaun disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, Joan's dream of studying was almost shattered. Bitter despair filled his heart, and this despair turned into an indescribable fury, prompting him to jump up quickly and rush into the woods like crazy, with only one thought in his mind:

Catch up with the leprechauns and get back the storage bag that holds all his dreams!
