Chapter 66 Smiling Charlie
Xing Ze spun around to avoid the first ghoul, and the flames from the wand slowed down the next one.
Then he attacked quickly, and the blue beak turned into a sharp blade. With the activation of the black iron, it effortlessly pierced into the open mouth of the ghoul and went straight through the head.
The dark red rancid blood flowed slowly along the blade, and Xing Ze pulled out the blue beak. The first ghoul hissed and roared, and pounced again. The sharp black claws brushed Xing Ze's ears, and before the claws landed on his chest, Xing Ze released the magic missile.
The skin of those monsters had a certain resistance to magic, but the missiles were different. They were more likely to produce blunt blows, like a heavy hammer.
The magic missile hit the ghoul and blasted it away from Xing Ze. The claws only left a few shallow scratches on the magic robe.
Immediately afterwards, Bluebeak attacked again, it turned into a long whip and wrapped around Tonks' waist. Before the ghouls surrounded the girl, Xing Ze pulled her out.
"Use magic missiles, the rays won't have much effect." Xing Ze reminded.
Tonks understood, and the missiles continued to shoot at the monsters that were chasing him. At the same time, Xing Ze's magic was also ready. The wand turned into a dark purple dagger and flew out, cutting off the neck of the ghoul that was rushing towards him.
The bastard struggled on the ground. Although most of his neck was cracked, he still struggled to crawl towards Xing Ze. The flying wand directly cut off its neck. Xing Ze raised his leg to catch the wand.
Tonks was sent behind him. The retracted Bluebeak turned into a shield to block the attack of two ghouls. More ghouls began to hit the shield, trying to break the Bluebeak with their claws and teeth.
The sound of chanting sounded behind Xing Ze. At the moment of removing the blue beak, the air blasting spell blew away the monsters. After a short gap, they rushed again like mad dogs, one after another.
Xing Ze made way, "Bombing time." He smiled, and several fireballs gathered in Tonks's wand, and then fired at the monsters one after another.
Suddenly, the smoke filled the air, and the sound of explosions continued to echo in the hall. After dozens of seconds, everything returned to silence again.
Tonks exhaled the foul air in her mouth and was about to shut up when a black shadow jumped out of the smoke. Xing Ze stretched out his legs and pinched its throat. If its legs had not been blown off, the sneak attack would have been successful.
The monster roared and struggled. Xing Ze squinted his eyes to admire it for a while, and then threw it to the ground. He stepped on the monster who wanted to escape in the first step, and the blue beak condensed at his fingertips, turning into a needle and piercing its head.
Tonks turned her face away and stopped looking. "Damn it, how could there be a ghoul in that place? Damn it." She complained.
"Calm down, Tonks." Xing Ze used a small hurricane spell to drive away the smoke while checking whether there were other fish caught in the net.
Just then, three people ran out from another passage. Tonks and Xing Ze were about to raise their wands, but they found Kingsley, Dawlish and Fitch.
All three were injured, and Fitch's injury was particularly serious. His left leg seemed to be bitten by something, and the red bone was vaguely visible. He muttered absent-mindedly: "Monster, monster..."
"Shut up, Fitch!" Dawlish shouted, and he struggled to carry Fitch and ran towards Xing Ze and Tonks.
Kingsley was shocked when he saw the girl, but soon he was calm. He shouted to Tonks, "Go, don't stay there, go!"
A burst of crazy laughter came from the passage, followed by a magic spear. Kingsley blocked it with his armor. The magic energy collided, and brilliant sparks flew everywhere.
Tonks wanted to go over to help, but Xingze stopped her and pointed at Dawlish, "Leave it to him."
The two acted separately, and Xingze fired a small blasting spell at the passage to cover Kingsley's retreat to his side.
"He really didn't expect to meet me in that situation."
Xing Ze watched the movement in the passage and replied: "I owe him a drink, Kingsley. What is chasing us? Ghouls? Or some other fantasy monsters."
Kingsley smiled bitterly, took out a bottle of potion from the sleeve of his purple robe and drank it, "Mainly it's ghouls, they are guarding the exit. They beat back most of them, but..."
The creepy laughter sounded again, and Xing Ze saw a figure slowly walking out of the passage.
"But I didn't expect to meet that, Smiley Charlie."
"Smiley Charlie?" Xing Ze finally saw clearly, that thing probably couldn't be called a human anymore, "He has seen Charlie, he was much better looking before."
Several twisted and rough tentacles came quickly, "Ahahahaha——" With a burst of laughter, Xing Ze and Kingsley hid in two directions.
The left half of Charlie's body was wrapped by scarlet twisted tentacles, which kept twisting and jumping, as if they had their own consciousness. His left hand became a long squid-like beard, and his right leg held a magic wand.
Magics shot at Xing Ze and Kingsley one after another. Charlie seemed to have countless magic power. He laughed crazily, and his twisted tentacles grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Do I have any good ideas?" Xing Ze barely blocked a magic, and dodged the attacking tentacles.
Charlie seemed to be very interested in him. Most of the attacks were directed at him. Kingsley's pressure was relatively small, so he could easily counterattack, but those magics did not hurt Charlie, and the wounds caused were quickly repaired by the new dark red flesh.
"Don't get caught by those tentacles, or Joseph will be devoured by them."
I'm really encouraging, Xing Ze thought to himself, and he hid behind the statue. A tentacle hit the base, and the altar shook slightly.
"Fuck." Xing Ze cursed in a low voice.
Not far away, Tonks helped Dawlish move Fitch to a safe place, "Then leave it to him, I'll go help." She said to Dawlish while taking out the healing potion.
"Help? Fuck it, that lunatic swallowed Joseph and left nothing behind, he won't go to die."
"What nonsense am I talking about?" Tonks looked at Dawlish in disbelief, "If they die, do I think they can run away?"
Dawlish sneered: "Do I know? That lunatic likes to eat people, so let him eat. He just needs to run faster than them.
He pointed to one of the passages with his leg, "Don't worry about him, Tonks, go with him, he knows the way out. "
Tonks spat on the ground and said coldly: "So that he can become the monster's spare food, to buy time for me to escape?"
"Oh, go to hell, bitch." Dawlish stood up and prepared to leave, but suddenly someone punched him in the face, and he fell to the ground with a groan.
"Thanks for the directions." John put the wine flask in his arms and glanced at Tonks, "Save people."
Then he strode forward and walked towards Charlie.
"What a fucking day!"
