【Thousand Fantasy】Snake and Rabbit in the Same Cage

·Choose this topic because of the scene that came to mind first hehehe

Huan hurriedly extinguished the candlestick in his hand, and he had already seen clearly that all the people biting each other under the square were lions.

Some are fighting bloody battles, while others are defeated, leaving only stumps after being eaten.Pools of blood had accumulated in the square, and every movement of the lions would splatter blood and minced meat.He took two steps back and covered his mouth, intense fear and nausea churning in his chest.

Chiku hugged him from behind, letting him rest on his chest.

None of them spoke, because they were too close, and if they made a sound, they would be noticed.Fortunately, the lion girl was watching the seemingly endless battle in the square intently, standing like a rock.

If the purpose of the wizard is the magic power of these lions, then letting them kill each other will consume the magic power meaninglessly.So Qiankong and Huan are very clear that the battle in front of them is a selection ceremony like refining gu, the purpose is to select the most powerful one from these beasts, and become a new tool for hunting magic power for him.

That poor lion girl has already eaten away too many lives by the magic circle.Stunned and bony, she attacks with a seemingly unstoppable force derived entirely from her desire to live.But every magic power she consumed would be taken away by the wizard immediately.I don't know how long the hunger has made her almost exhausted.

The wizard threw her into the dungeon, probably hoping that she would follow her instincts and jump into the square, be torn to pieces by her fellow clansmen, and become the bait of the strongest.

But she didn't jump off.

She quietly watched the battle below, or rather, watched someone who was fighting, and died peacefully like this.

Huan leaned against Qiankong's arms and heard his beating heart.The snake's body was still cold, but it calmed down the rabbit's fear.Gen suddenly realized that now he was no longer afraid of Senku at all.It seemed that the person holding him behind him was a completely different existence from those people with bloodshot eyes in front of him.

"We have to find a way to get rid of them." Qian Kong whispered: "I'm afraid this is a lion group captured by a wizard. When a new hunter is selected in this battle, an unknown number of orcs will suffer. .”

"You're right, this is the lion group I captured with my accumulated strength after hunting enough ordinary beasts, but it took me a lot of effort." The wizard's voice suddenly came from the darkness behind them. sounded.

The two were startled, and turned around to realize that because they were shocked by the fighting in the square, they didn't notice the approach of this human being.In an instant, countless boulders fell like rain, encircling the wizard.The latter kept smiling and stood motionless.

"Little rabbit, I know this is an illusion, you can't fool me." The wizard smiled and was smashed to pieces by the stone.But the head that rolled down at Huan's feet just took a breath: "Hiss...it hurts so much, this illusion is really realistic."

The only way to break the illusion is to keep telling yourself it's fake no matter what happens.Bleeding and severed limbs are so real, the sound of tearing flesh is so real, and the incomparable pain is so real, no one can completely keep calm in this kind of illusion.

This dark wizard in a blue robe can.

The rabbit had never really fought before, and he couldn't imagine any more torturous and terrifying pictures.Fortunately, the wizard suddenly began to realize that the gradual petrification of his body was not an illusion.He saw the human-looking youth behind the rabbit, who at some point took off his disguise and turned into a green snake.There was a strange magic power in the eyes of the green snake that the wizard had never seen before, which made his hands and feet stiff and unable to move, and the skin of his face and neck began to be wrapped by something.

He recited the mantra without hesitation, and the direction of the square began to rumble.The rocky soil protruding from the ground turned into a temporary stairway, and the surviving lions stopped fighting with their own kind and galloped along the stairway.

Qian Kong's petrification magic was interrupted by the lions rushing on, the magic collision between several lions made the dungeon rumble, earth and rocks kept falling from above, the bats were frightened and ran around, looking for an escape exit .The orcs who were imprisoned in the cell also screamed in panic. The screams of countless people gathered in this cramped cave into harsh waves, as if they could penetrate the human body.

Fear made them try to use their magic power to destroy the railings and walls, and there were bang bang bangs everywhere.

"You can't let them come out to feed the lions, Teacher Huan, you have to let them calm down." Qian Kong frowned and said, "As for the lions, I will deal with them."

Qiankong stood in front of the phantom, instantly turning the lion that was rushing forward into stones.Rabbit didn't have time to say anything, he agreed with Qian Kong's judgment.Judging from the current situation, it is safer for these vulnerable orcs to hide in their cells.

But the orcs who are in extreme panic cannot be easily deceived by the change of the surrounding environment, so after a moment of imaginative thinking, they created the illusion that the lions retreated to the square again.

In the illusion, the vibration also slowly stopped.

The most convincing lie is the lie that adds a little bit of falsehood to the truth.The same goes for illusions.All the prisoners fell into the brief peace brought by the "safety" created by phantom for them.Someone hugged the person beside them, and someone cried out exhaustedly.

"Everyone stay in your cells first, and we'll come to rescue you after we get rid of those lions." The illusionist showed his professional smile, and with a few words, he led them out of despair.Seeing the orcs in the prison cell calmed down peacefully with empty eyes, Qiankong knew that it was the rabbit's illusion that had worked.

"Well done, Gen," he said.

He had no more energy left to maintain the imitation, his lower body turned into a snake tail, tightly wrapped around the pounced lion, and then pressed him down, turning him into a hard stone.

Scarlet blood dripped from his eyes and dripped onto the stone statue.

Qian Kong cursed secretly in his heart, he knew that the backlash from excessive use of petrification magic had already begun to appear.This is the innate ability of their clan. It is precisely with the power of petrification that no one can resist that they can lead the clan to protect the holy lake from countless covetous people.

However, this magic with overwhelming power, of course, needs to pay a price.

Qian Kong covered his eyes, blood gushing from his fingers.Pain and bleeding were trivial matters to him, and what was even more frightening was that his magic power was quickly consumed.The power drawn from the holy lake is running out.

"Useless things." The wizard lying on the ground saw his lions being petrified one by one, and cursed: "Give me the magic power!"

Qian Kong was startled, thinking badly, because the wizard's hands and feet were petrified, so he relaxed his vigilance and did not give him a fatal blow.The wizard's petrified palm lit up in the shape of a magic circle, and the last lion's back began to emit the same light.Immediately acquired the huge magic power of the superior beast clan, the petrified part of the wizard's hand gradually cracked.Qian Kong took his hand away from his blood-stained face, and when he forced himself to open his eyes, he saw the wizard's palm flying out.

When the clean severed wrist began to ooze blood, the wizard woke up like a dream, and found that the palm with the magic circle had been separated from his body.

It was a dagger that cut off his body.There were strange patterns engraved on the dagger. The original black pattern turned blue instantly when the rabbit manipulated the wind to chop it towards the wizard's wrist.The cyan color seemed to have its own life, crawling into the wizard's body along the blood.The amputated limb began to turn the same color as it.

Realizing that he had been poisoned, the wizard subconsciously wanted to lock the flow of blood with his other hand, but what he raised was his petrified palm.

After a while, the human who had no resistance to the snake venom twitched twice and lost consciousness.The dagger that fell on the ground flew up again, and stabbed at the lion that he had drained a small half of its magic power.

The lion fell to the ground with a bang, and Gen also weakened his legs and sat on the ground.He didn't expect that when he touched it casually in a hurry, he touched the dagger that Qiankong gave him back then.

It's a good thing to carry it with you, fantasy.He originally thought that he would not need this kind of thing.But when he changed his clothes and took it out, he repeatedly rubbed the lines on the scabbard, and felt reluctant, so he put it in his carry-on bag.

He turned his head to look at Qian Kong, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiankong is really amazing, if it weren't for you...what's wrong with you?"

Qian Kong wiped off the blood on his face, shook his head: "I'm fine...it's the backlash of magic, I'll recover after a short rest."

He felt his heart beating faster and his head was rarely heating up.He opened his eyes, dizzy.The figure of the rabbit who came forward with a concerned face also split into two, shaking in front of him.He had never felt this kind of feeling before, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't let Gen get close to him.

"Mr. Huan, you go...you go and let everyone out, okay? Tell them to leave here immediately." Qian Kong took a bunch of keys from the wizard's waist and threw them to Huan, then covered his face again, he felt himself breathing Start hasty.

He suddenly felt very hungry.

What the orcs depend on to maintain their lives is magic.When the mana is exhausted, a feeling of hunger will arise.

With the magic power provided by the holy lake, this feeling of hunger has always only existed in Qiankong's perception of his own instinct.He knew he would be hungry, but he didn't know that hunger was such a painful feeling.The pain of hunger consumed his entire body from the inside out, and he felt himself burning.

He heard the sound of Huan opening the cell door one by one, and someone came out, saying words of gratitude over and over again.Not only did the voice not go away, but it was approaching him.He heard a scream, followed by many screams.

"This snake! This snake is alive!"

It was the cry of a woman.

"He will eat us!"

The roar of an old man.

"Mom, Mom, I'm afraid..."

It was the kid who called him brother just now.

"You figure it out, he saved you."

An unusually cold... phantom voice.

The rabbit stood in front of Qian Kong who was lying on the ground, he was surprised why these people could still thank him a moment ago, but they changed their faces immediately when they saw Qian Kong.

"So what! He will eat us!" A strong buffalo repeated the old man's words, and stepped forward: "We have to kill him while he can't move."

Just as he was about to jump over the rabbit, he was suddenly lifted up by the strong wind and slammed into the nearby iron railing with a bang.The rabbit looked at him blankly: "Try taking another step forward?"

"Ahem...you actually helped a snake?" The buffalo struggling to get up from the ground couldn't believe that it was attacked by a rabbit just now.

Gen remembered the moment he saw the lions rushing towards him.The person who yelled "run away" back then was indeed himself.Born as Cleft Tail, he was feared by his fellows and expelled from the rabbit herd.

Split tails have the same powerful magic power as the upper-level orcs, but they don't have to keep hunting like the latter to maintain a body carrying such magic power.Their special feature is that they can generate magic power by themselves, which is an extremely rare existence.

However, the clansmen didn't understand this. They were worried that this child, who possessed magical power far beyond the entire clan, would kill his clansmen first when he was hungry.As a result, Gen was exiled to a wasteland far away from the ethnic group, leaving him as a baby to fend for himself.

It was his mother, who was reluctant to die like this, who secretly came to him every night to take care of him, and the newborn rabbit survived.Since then, he has lived a life of wandering close to the ethnic group, just to meet his mother at night.

On the day he was attacked by the lions, when he arrived at the place where the rabbits lived, he was already bleeding like a river.But the mother was still alive and was being chased by the lion.So, he yelled the phrase run away hoarsely, and stood in front of his mother and other clansmen.

When he was young, he tried his best and wounded the leader of the lion group.The leader, who felt that it was not worthwhile to continue such entanglement, led the other lions to retreat, and Genya was finally exhausted, and fell into the pool of blood.

He lost his memory, forgetting that he had been discarded like trash and found like a treasure.The bloodstains all over the ground made him think that he had lost all his relatives in a predator's hunt.

Mother may still be alive somewhere in this world.Huan didn't have time to rejoice, and saw the eyes of his clansmen who were very similar to him back then.

However, the look in his eyes is not because of him, but because of Qian Kong.

"Illusionist, please be sober." The man in the dungeon who is familiar with the illusion said, "This snake has exhausted its magic power, and it will not let you go in order to replenish its magic power. Why don't you let it go now? Let's kill him!"

Huan turned his head and looked at Qiankong.Qiankong panted heavily, and when he raised his head, the brilliance in his eyes completely disappeared, and he became exactly like those lions whose magic power was drained by the magic circle.

"Get out of the way, rabbit, he's going to lose control!" roared the buffalo barely getting up.

Huan ignored him, but turned around and supported Qiankong with the wind, moving him into the cell next to him.As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw the rabbit walking in by himself.He snapped the lock on the door, and said to the people outside: "Hurry up and go."

"Are you crazy! Illusionist!" The person who was familiar with the illusion just wanted to step forward, but was dragged back by the person next to him.

The crowd began to evacuate quickly and silently.

Maybe someone wants to say something, but nothing can be said.Choosing between life and death, they can only choose to live.
