There's always something wrong with the dark elf I raise

"Master, I have to travel during the day. I can use it at night..." At this point, Aloi paused and changed a word: "... Do you appreciate this gift?"

The word "use" is too explicit. Humans, especially the nobles among them, don't like such words. Even if they are as chaotic in private as the dark elves, they still have to remain polite on the surface.

Claire was happy when she heard the little pet's request.

What, I like this toy so much that I have to travel during the day and can’t play with it, so I want to play with it at night?

Really, there is no need to specifically request this kind of thing. Claire knows that many cats like to get up in the middle of the night to play with toys. He made a mental plan before raising a pet. Except when he has nightmares, he always sleeps very well. Well, don’t worry about being disturbed by small pets.

He touched the little pet's head and said, "You can decide this kind of thing yourself."

The mage is really in a good mood!

Aloy was glad that he made this request, and now he could suffer a lot less pain. He lowered his head again and said in a grateful tone: "Thank you, Master, for your understanding."

The people in Team Zoki picked a whole cart of Corona flowers, which was their limit. Now they were panting, sitting or lying on the ground to rest - no one could have imagined that taking care of flowers would be such a chore. It's actually more tiring than fighting against the monsters!

"Master Mage, you're back. How are things going?" Seeing Claire's return, Zoji went up to him and asked politely.

"It went well." Claire knew he was just being polite and responded casually, and Zoji didn't ask any more questions.

Claire lost a lot of blood when repairing the seal, and she is still a little dizzy now. It just so happens that the people in Team Zaki are also very tired, so they decided to camp here until they return tomorrow morning.

But just as they were setting up their tents, accompanied by the sound of "fluttering", a bat-like creature flapped its wings and flew over everyone's heads - it was dragging two long furry tails, as if it was escaping from something, panicking and choosing the right path. He almost hit the stone pillar hanging from the ceiling of the cave.

Zoji stopped what he was doing and looked at it with a frown. This creature is very common in underground caves. It is called the two-tailed flying squirrel. It is very timid and feeds on plants or small insects. It is not aggressive.

He paid special attention to this flying squirrel because its behavior was obviously abnormal, but before he could think of the reason, more two-tailed flying squirrels followed closely, and their dark bodies formed a dark cloud, moving at extremely fast speeds. Crossing the roof of the cave at a fast speed.

"Not good!" Zuo Ji suddenly realized what this phenomenon meant, and he shouted at the team: "Retreat! A big guy is coming!"

As soon as everyone heard this, they didn't even have time to grab their luggage. They only took their weapons and ran forward following the footsteps of the two-tailed flying squirrel.

However, they were still a step slower. With violent shaking, a huge monster appeared behind everyone.

This is a basilisk that stands as tall as a four-story building. It has nine heads, each head is as big as a carriage and can swallow a person in one bite.

"It's the Greedy Hydra!" Zuo Ji felt despair in his heart. This kind of basilisk is a holy-level monster. Only an S-level adventurer team can deal with it. However, his team can only be regarded as an A-level team and can take on this A-level one. The mission is just because it is a long way and does not require fighting.

Seeing the nine heads on the basilisk's neck all opening their big mouths and rushing towards each other, Zuoji knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only shout: "Get in formation and prepare to fight!"

It's not their style to just give up and take advantage of them. If they give it a try, there might still be a glimmer of hope!

Although the basilisk is huge, it is not bulky at all. It is extremely fast, and its nine heads are in front of everyone in an instant.

"Holy Light!" Zuo Ji shouted, and a layer of light suddenly lit up on his body, as did the other five swordsmen. The light on the six people gathered together to form a huge shield, which covered the other swordsmen. Keep the people behind - this is the basic defensive skill of the warrior.

The basilisk didn't pause at all, and directly hit it. After a "crack" sound, the light shield was smashed into pieces. The five warriors were shocked to the point where they vomited blood and took several steps back.

Only Zuoji still stood firmly on the spot. He did not advance but retreated, running towards the basilisk. Just when the basilisk's fangs were about to pierce his body, the formation talisman on the armor flashed, and a A defensive formation appeared in front of him.

This is Zaki's life-saving means. He spent a lot of money to have a top enchanter add the defensive talisman to the armor, which can block a full blow from an S-class monster.

There was a loud "boom", and the basilisk's head came into close contact with the defense array. Zoji "kicked, kicked, kicked" back several steps. There were cracks of various sizes on the armor, but fortunately he was okay. .

The impact stunned the basilisk for a while, but after it recovered, it became even more angry. Its nine heads swarmed up again, all heading towards Zuoji.

After using the means to save his life, Zuoji could no longer hide or guard, but he did not panic because the archers behind him had already bent their bows and nocked arrows. With a "swish" sound, two magic arrows shot out. The arrows of the effect flew out.

An arrow aimed at the eye of the snake head at the front. The eyes were the weak point of the basilisk, so it had to give up on Zoji and turn its head to avoid it. Another arrow also arrived at this time. It was not aimed at the basilisk. On the contrary, it was inserted into the ground in front of the basilisk. Then a stream of smoke shot out from it, instantly confusing the basilisk's eyes and making it Lost the target.

Zuo Ji took the opportunity to retreat back, and the team members cooperated tacitly. Even when faced with an S-class basilisk, they were able to change from fighting to retreating in an orderly manner.

But just when everyone thought they could escape, with a loud roar, a huge fireball broke through the smoke and flew towards everyone.

Zuoji's armor had been destroyed in the attack just now. He had no means to block this attack, but he still took a step forward and used his body to protect the team members behind him.

He thought he was dead, but after waiting for a while, he didn't feel any pain. Unbelievably, he opened his eyes and found a huge magic circle appearing in the sky, blocking the fireball firmly.

It was the mage who took action!

When Claire first saw the basilisk, the name "Hydra of Greed" came to mind. He was actually choked. Isn't this the name of the equipment in the game? The author definitely did this on purpose!

But no matter how weird the name is, the basilisk is still a top-level monster. It is not something that Zaki's team can deal with. He no longer cares about hiding his strength.

Just when he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest, and the sweater chain, ah no, the necklace started to stir.

He looked down and saw that the small pointer in the ruby ​​was pointing steadily at the basilisk!

Is this basilisk actually a demon?

This is impossible. Claire immediately rejected the idea. Demons who can transform do exist, but their level is not that high and they cannot use such strong power.

Then there is only one possibility left - the devil is in the body of the basilisk!

This well explains why the basilisk is so violent and appears outside its territory.

While Claire was distracted, the members of Zoji's team had already completed a preliminary confrontation with the Basilisk. They were no match for them. At the critical moment, Claire used a defensive magic circle to block a fatal blow for them.

At this time, the smoke dissipated, and the basilisk regained its sight. Its nine heads and eighteen eyes scanned everyone one by one, and it was finally determined that Claire had messed up its situation. It became even more angry, spitting out a fireball from each of its nine mouths and shooting at Claire.

"Come on, I'll hold it back!" Claire shouted at the members of Team Zaki. They were not allowed to participate in the demon clan's affairs, and they needed to be driven away before they could take action.

"Master Mage!" Zoji only had time to shout these four words, and the fireball hit Claire. The scorching temperature melted the nearby rocks, and a large amount of air waves filled the air, making everyone's vision blurry. one slice.

Zuoji's eyes were red, and he guessed that the mage must have used a life-saving stunt to save himself. But he also knew how rare such a stunt was. Just like his own armor, he only had one chance to use it, but the mage gave this chance to someone in his team. How could he not be moved by this?

Other members of the team also had the same idea, and two of the women even burst into tears. In their opinion, the mage not only saved everyone, but also sacrificed his life to attract the attention of the basilisk, giving the others time to escape.

They took this opportunity to escape from the Basilisk's sight. After running to a safe place, the two female team members were already crying, and the male team members were also silently wiping away tears. They were all determined to find the Master's family when they returned ( If he has one), take care of them for life!

When the basilisk attacked, Aloy also used stealth skills to hide. Male dark elves are the best assassins. Even without professional training, Aloy can still use some basic assassin skills.

In his heart, he actually hopes that the mage can survive. After all, the mage is his support, but he also knows that this possibility is slim. Even the eldest daughter of the mistress, Caris, is no match for a basilisk of this level. To win, she would need her team of male dark elves together.

Now he just hopes that the basilisk can leave here immediately after killing the mage. His stealth skill level is not high. He will be exposed if he moves, and he will be discovered if he gets too close.

But what he didn't expect at all was that when the flames spit out by the basilisk dissipated, a figure actually stood there steadily. Aloy's eyes widened uncontrollably. The mage was still alive and unscathed!

Claire is very satisfied with the current situation. Everyone in Zaki's team has run away, and the little pets are hiding so that they will not be affected by the battle for a while.

He abandoned the disguised staff in his hand and raised one hand to point it at the basilisk. A fireball several times the size of the basilisk's spray appeared in his hand. With a slight exertion, the fireball flew towards the basilisk.
