Chapter 288: Ambush
Filled with rage, Gao Fei stamped his feet. The fragments of clay pots and beetle corpses scattered on the floor were shaken into the sky by the "earth shock", blocking the sight of both sides.
Angry to anger, Gao Fei did not lose his mind. He clearly realized that he had just obtained the holy ax and had not yet had time to develop the full power of this artifact. Even General Schroeder could not defeat him, let alone the Ice Tower Warlock.
While the sky was filled with dust, I hurriedly reminded my companions to run!
"Haha... Basaka Olaf, for a barbarian, your wit surprises me."
From across the dust curtain, Gelmir's sneer came.
The ice tower warlock had already prepared a spell with huge lethality. Just when Gao Fei tried to turn around and escape, he raised his hand and blasted out a white cone-shaped cold current, which instantly engulfed Gao Fei and his companions behind him.
The extremely cold magic power was so biting that it felt like falling into an ice cave while flying high, and he was almost frozen to the point of unconsciousness.
At this moment, a system prompt came to my mind:
"You were attacked by the 5th-level spell "Icy Cone" and failed your reflex save! Do you want to spend a reaction action to activate "Wild Intuition" to halve the damage?"
"Yes!" Gao Fei barely resisted the cold wave and responded.
System prompt: You receive 24 points of freezing damage, and your movement speed this round is halved!
24 points of cold damage was not fatal enough, and more terrifying attacks followed.
The ice tower warlock raised his right hand, chanted a spell symbolizing "death and end", pointed high in the distance, and a dark stream of negative energy burst out from his fingertips, hitting his chest!
"Vanwa!"
System prompt: You were attacked by the 7-level spell "Finger of Death" and failed to pass the Fortitude save!
Worri! Are you going to be killed instantly?
Gao Fei's heart felt cold.
Fortunately, I received another reminder right after:
"Standing Standing" makes you immune to the "instant death" special effect and only suffers 21 points of necrotic damage!
"Standing" makes you immune to the "Anecrosis" special effect, and your upper limit of health remains unchanged!
"Huh? This won't even kill you?!"
Gelmir stared in astonishment at the barbarian prince opposite who was still standing upright, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Blue-haired bastard! It's you who deserves to die!"
Jiang Feng suddenly rushed to Gao Fei's side, raised his hand and blasted out a radiant "Yang Yan Palm"!
The Ice Tower Warlock's expression changed slightly, and he had to turn his head to avoid the piercing and painful Yang Yan Qi.
Thanks to Jiang Feng's timely action, Gao Fei finally cheered up under the double blow caused by the cold and necrosis, roared and turned on his rage, transformed into a red dragon, and opened his mouth to spit out flames.
Qi Tian picked up the revolver, aimed at General Schroeder who was trying to draw his sword, and fired frequently, emptying the magazine in one breath.
Eve, Al and Ush also attacked with all their strength.
Fire surged in the Holy Ax Hall, magic power surged, and bullets and javelins flew through the air.
Gelmir instantly cast the 2nd level "Tracing Step", a cloud of silver mist appeared all over his body, and he teleported 30 feet away before the dragon's breath and bullets approached, avoiding this round of fierce attacks.
General Schroeder and the two frost giant warriors beside him were also overwhelmed by the attack by Gao Fei and others, and were forced to raise their shields to block.
The warforged motor roared, and Joseph Cooper also joined the melee. He first released the "oil spell" at the feet of the frost giants, and then ignited it with a flamethrower, plunging the entire hall into a sea of fire.
"Little guys, let's go quickly!" the dwarf urged Gao Fei and others eagerly, "You are not the opponent of Gelmir's party yet, and there will be no good results if you continue to fight!"
Of course, Gao Fei knew what he said was true. He hurriedly changed back to his human form and called on his companions to escape from the hall. When he turned around and saw the war warrior still guarding the door, he quickly shouted:
"Uncle Joseph, stop dawdling! Come with us quickly!"
"No, I can't leave!" came the old dwarf's decisive response from the war figurines, "If we all run away together, we will eventually be caught up by the frost giants. No one can escape, and one person must stay behind!"
"But……"
"Silly boy, stop talking! No one is more suitable to stay than me!" the dwarf stopped Goofy from persuading him, his voice showing mixed emotions, "My father once swore a solemn oath to Karl Olaf to protect Olaf at the risk of his life. The blood inheritance of the family, now it’s my turn to fulfill my oath!”
"Uncle! Don't be stupid! Those were all from more than two hundred years ago. Besides, your father didn't ask for your opinion when he swore. Why would you sacrifice yourself for such a boring thing?! "Gao Fei was anxious and angry.
"I'm sorry, because we dwarves are such a boring race that values tradition and commitment!"
A sigh came from the warforged.
"Right or wrong, good or bad, it doesn't matter. What you say must count! The promises you have made, no matter how many years or generations have passed, you must take responsibility and stick to it until death!"
Gao Fei still wanted to persuade, but Joseph Cooper had already turned around in the war forged.
At the same time, the system forcibly took over his operating authority and inserted a cutscene, causing Basaka Olaf to turn around in tears and lead his companions out of the Holy Ax Hall. The group of people's running backs quickly disappeared at the end of the tomb passage.
The screen turns and the scene is switched.
Everyone appeared in the stone chamber at the beginning of entering King Olaf's Tomb. The teleportation array leading to the outside world emitted a magical light, seeming to be calling them to enter.
Gao Fei regained control of Basaka Olaf and couldn't help but turn around and look at the way he came, feeling extremely heavy.
Jiang Feng noticed his mood change and walked over to hold his hand gently.
"Don't think too much, we are just playing a game. Uncle Joseph stayed behind to cover the retreat. It was designed in the game script a long time ago. When the plot progressed to that point... we had no choice."
"Brother Fei! No one wants to leave Uncle Dwarf behind, but the plot forces us to leave the battle, and we have no choice!" Qi Tian also comforted Gao Fei through the star disk, "Let's go quickly, don't let Uncle Dwarf's sacrifice go to waste."
"Xiaotian, don't talk nonsense! Maybe the next plot will take a turn, and Uncle Joseph will be able to escape from the royal tomb. There will be a day when we meet again in the future!"
Jiang Feng barely pretended to be optimistic.
Gao Fei said nothing and turned to walk into the teleportation array.
Jiang Feng, Qi Tian and others followed.
The teleportation array slowly started, and a light curtain surrounded everyone, and then soared into the sky.
After an unknown period of time, Gao Fei woke up from the dizziness caused by the teleportation and found that he and his companions were already standing at the foot of the Great Pyramid, and heard the neigh of horses in his ears.
The mounts they left outside when they entered the royal mausoleum yesterday are still waiting for their master to return.
What should we do next?
Should we wait a little longer? Maybe Uncle Joseph still has a chance to escape...
