Chapter 532 Attacked

The magic siren made by Joan using the tentacles of the digger can sense dangerous creatures active in the surrounding area, and make corresponding vibrations and deflection according to the movement trajectory of the hostile creatures.

Joan is familiar with the operation rules of the magic siren, so just by looking at the vibration frequency and deflection angle of the tentacles, he can guess which direction the enemy is in and how far away he is.

However, the siren's reaction at this moment was very strange, like a spinning top, it kept going in circles, without clearly pointing out the direction of the threat.

Based on past experience, Joan suspects that this abnormal situation indicates that there are enemies around, and that the enemies follow a unified command and are quickly encircling them at the same pace—since there are enemies in all directions, the siren cannot indicate which direction is better for danger.

"This is really strange. It was calm just now, but why did you suddenly fall into a tight siege?" Casio asked dubiously, "Brother Joan, your siren must not be malfunctioning, right?"

"I hope so too, but unfortunately the probability of failure is almost zero."

Qiao An quickly made a spell-casting gesture, and slapped a "Mage Armor" on his chest, warning some of his companions who were at a loss what to do.

"We've been too careless these days. We just kept our heads on our way. We may be followed by people unknowingly. The enemy is obviously more familiar with this jungle with complex terrain than us. They secretly mobilized troops until they were fully prepared. Launch a siege!"

"Familiar with the terrain of the 'Hanged Forest', and can mobilize a large number of people to track us in a short period of time, there are not many forces that meet these two conditions at the same time. Regiment!" Casio's face paled slightly, and he added with difficulty: "Of course, there is a worst possibility... that is, these two forces join forces to hunt us down!"

At this time, there were dense footsteps in the surrounding forest, as well as the movement of weapons and armor rubbing against the branches. All kinds of signs indicated that the enemy had closed the encirclement and was about to launch an offensive.

"I don't know how many enemies are lurking in the dark. We are outnumbered. We must not get into a fight here. We must choose a direction to break through as soon as possible!" the frost giant said eagerly.

"Then we can only go up the Hebei River, Shrek doesn't want to go back!" The ogre king grabbed the heavy gold mace, ready to break out in blood.

"Haha... Going up the Hebei River, is this your goal?"

A sneer suddenly came from the forest behind him, causing Qiao An and the others to turn their heads and stare.

Under their vigilant eyes, the black-robed man with the staff came out slowly, raised his left arm, a live snake raised its head from the sleeve of the robe, bit the black-robed man's hood and pulled it back , showing a pale face.

"'Snake Hand' Sharman, it really is you!" Clark's expression changed involuntarily.

"Frost Giant, let's settle the account of House Town later, and now I want to know the final destination of your trip." Sharman said with a half-smile, "If you are willing to satisfy my curiosity, say Maybe I will show kindness and reward you with a whole corpse."

"It's up to you? Bah! Go dreaming!"

Shrek spat at Sharman before Clark could speak.

"Treacherous cultist, Shrek also has an old debt to settle with you!"

"In addition to Lord Sharman, there is also me!"

A sneer came from the forest, and "The Ripper" Culkin strode out.

"Speaking of settling old scores, Shrek and Casio, you two owe me too much!"

At the same time that Culkin appeared, Joan suddenly heard an unprecedented noise coming from the forest behind him, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but gasp!

A huge humanoid monster rushed out of the woods with staggering steps, smashing countless bushes along the way.

This monster looked like a troll magnified ten times, with a total of nine heads, all of which opened their bloody mouths and let out crazy screams!

"Scala is so hungry!"

"Scala really wants to eat meat!"

"Ho! Look what I found - a frost giant!"

"Frost giant! Big! Lots of meat! Delicious!"

"A fat ogre is more delicious!"

"There is also a human boy with thin skin and tender meat, the most delicious! No one is allowed to snatch it from me!"

...

The terrifying image of "Nine-Headed Troll" Scala and his frenzied clamor made Joan's hair stand on end. However, he is a person who has experienced the test of life and death on the battlefield after all. Sharman, "The Ripper" Culkin, and the nine-headed troll Scala and others launched a siege, reminding their companions in a low voice:

"I cast spells to cover your retreat, pay attention to the defense against flash blinding, and I will cast spells to contact you later!"

After a brief explanation, Joan covered his spell-casting gestures with a wide cloak while chanting the spell in a low voice.

Joan's spellcasting action was very subtle, and neither Culkin nor Scala noticed it. Only Sharman could vaguely see the abnormal disturbance in the distribution of the magic net around Joan, and guessed that the young mage opposite was casting some kind of arcane spell. , hastily raised his left arm, and the poisonous snake connected to his elbow raised his head and spit out a message, about to spray "withered fire" on Joan, interrupting the process of casting the spell.

As early as when Sharman and others showed up, Clark picked up two stones the size of human heads on the spot and held them in his hands as spare weapons.

Giants have an ancient national competitive tradition, which is boulder throwing. Boys of the giant tribe have to learn stone-throwing skills from their elders since they were young, and participate in stone-throwing competitions. Whoever can throw heavier rocks farther and more accurately will win the admiration of their peers.

Frost giant Clark Heinier is not only a professional boxer, but has also won many stone throwing championships. He held these two stones in his hand like loaded cannonballs. When he noticed that Sharman was trying to attack Joan, without hesitation, waved and threw a stone!

The rock came head-on with the ear-piercing whistling, and Sharman's expression changed in fright. He didn't care about attacking Joan with fire, and hurriedly dodged to avoid it.

The rock flew past Sharman's left ear, and the strong airflow slapped him hard on the face like a slap in the face. His left cheek was suddenly bloodshot and swollen, his eyes turned black, he staggered, and almost fell down on the grass.

The moment Clark threw stones to restrain Sharman, Joan finally finished preparing to cast the spell. He suddenly turned around and pointed at the burning bonfire behind him, and chanted the incantation of the 2nd-level "Pyrotechnics".

"Lumbor!"

boom!

Inspired by the magic power, the bonfire flashed an unusually strong flame, instantly illuminating the river beach camp and even the nearby woods like daylight.

Sharman, Culkin, and Scala were caught off guard, and their eyes were hurt by the sudden burst of bright light, and they covered their faces and burst into tears.
