Free Chapter 0299: Secret War

Compared to the freshness and excitement of the trip, the return journey was rather dull.

It was still the same areas, but when the floating warships passed overhead, the number of monsters that dared to chase under the ship was obviously much less.

At first, Grimm was still a little confused, but through communication with the wizards on board, he learned that due to the unrest in the Harpy Kingdom last time, several wizards were forcibly abducted, which undoubtedly made the high-level Silver Alliance responsible for waterway safety very angry.

So, while Grimm stayed in the Sky City, the Silver Alliance organized a group of Level 3 wizards to forcibly break into the Harpy Kingdom and slaughtered nearly a thousand enemies in one breath, including nearly three-digit bird wizards.

As for the wizards who were abducted, unfortunately, only two were rescued. The rest did not survive the "brutal" breeding process and had their essence and blood sucked out alive.

As for the two who survived, they were both body-refining wizards, and their physiques were originally like monsters.

Unfortunately, when he was rescued, he had been squeezed dry. It seems that it is difficult to return to normal without a year or two of careful care!

It was because of the outbreak of the Silver Alliance that the monsters on this route temporarily calmed down.

So, two and a half months later, Grimm took Alice and Kirby back to the central part of the continent again.

The first stop was, of course, still the westernmost public city of Guat Port in the Sanditalin area.

After staying here for two days, Grimm and his party waited for a flying ship bound for the central region, so they returned to Mota City smoothly five days later.

Not daring to stay in Mota City for too long, Grimm and his three people quietly bought a small carriage and left the city.

…………

In the dark woods, a temporary bonfire was crackling.

Kirby the goblin was busy preparing dinner.

Set up a metal tripod on the fire, put the soup pot in place, and then began to wash the ingredients...

Alice sat silently by the bonfire with her hands on her cheeks.

Since being severely "taught a lesson" by Grimm, she has often been like this.

Grimm said hello to Kirby, stood up, and walked into the dark woods, ready to see what the wild world of another world looks like before dinner.

The trees on the Wizard Continent have always grown tall and straight, and the branches and leaves are dense, so the forest is dark, with only some moonlight grass and fluorescent mushrooms faintly emitting a cold light.

There are no large bushes or knee-high grass. There are brown land with fruit everywhere, covered with a thick layer of yellow fallen leaves, and then there are patches of green grass.

There are few small animals here.

After all, it is close to the public road, so there can't be any large monsters, and the rest of the jungle beasts have mostly become the targets of wizard apprentices to practice. So Grimm walked half a mile in the dark, and didn't see any herbivorous or carnivorous beasts.

Just when Grimm was disappointed and was about to return the same way, he suddenly stopped.

Turning his head to look at the flank, Grimm suddenly became alert.

There, a tall human figure was walking towards here step by step with heavy steps.

The rotten dead branches were crushed one by one under his feet, making crackling sounds, and the sound was heard far away in the silent and dark woods.

Grimm licked his lips, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and the faint blue light began to flash frequently.

He was fully prepared for the battle.

And secretly, he had also issued a danger warning to Alice and Kirby through the mental connection.

Under the powerful scanning of the elemental vision, the human figure who came all the way was filled with a strong and dazzling red light, which was a sign of extreme danger and extreme hostility. Moreover, Grimm also sensed a strong and restrained terrifying aura on the other party.

In the projection of Grimm's retina, the energy aura of the newcomer reacted extremely strongly, and the energy nodes in the body were mostly distributed in the limbs and some important joints and internal organs. This made Grimm clearly judge that the visitor was a body-refining wizard!

At such a quiet time in the night, and in a deep and deserted forest, the other party's intention was clear. Grimm was just wondering, he had been low-key enough when he returned, how did the Black Hand Association track him down?

"Are you the fire demon Grimm?" The tall figure spoke, staying 30 meters away.

The voice was deep and deep, it was a male voice.

At this time, the tall figure took another step forward, and a ray of silver moonlight fell on him through the treetops, illuminating his appearance and figure.

This is a powerful body-refining wizard wearing blood-colored metal armor, with blood-colored ripples surging around him, and a huge two-handed sword on his back. Under the moonlight, his face was twisted and hideous, and ugly scars were twisting like a centipede.

He also wore blood-colored metal gloves on his hands. When he clenched his fists, the edges of his joints were as sharp as knives, which made people feel cold.

"Blood Hand Butcher?" Grimm asked tentatively.

The other party's appearance was still very distinctive, so he quickly thought of some legendary figures.

"You know my name is useless. You must die here today!" The Blood Hand Butcher grinned and showed a ferocious "smile".

The next second, before the sonorous voice faded, a red blood shadow had already approached Grimm's side, and the violent and ferocious iron fist, with a whistling wind and a pungent smell of blood, went straight to his heart.

A black and red lava shield appeared between the two.

Before the high-temperature flames on the shield burned all over the shield, Blood Shadow's iron fist had already landed squarely in the middle of the shield.

With a loud bang, the lava shield exploded.

For the first time, the lava shield summoned by Grimm had not yet fully manifested, but was already smashed into a sky of fire and scattered lava fragments by the enemy's heavy blow.

With a sharp sound, the iron fist wrapped in flames penetrated the misty protective barrier and suddenly hit Grimm's chest and abdomen. With such a rapid attack force of the iron fist, although it was nearly half dissipated by the lava shield, the remaining strength was not weaker than the 60-degree elemental attack.

Moreover, most ordinary elemental attacks are divergent, and the attack power is scattered but not condensed. But the opponent's iron fist is completely restrained, and only concentrates the attack power in an area the size of a fist, so the defense breaking power and attack power are not comparable to elemental attacks.

Grimm was startled, and suddenly slapped his chest, and a "resistance fire ring" suddenly bloomed.

The resistance fire ring is actually a powerful flame shock wave, but it spreads to the surrounding in a ring. All individuals within the flame impact range, in addition to suffering the damage of flame burning, must also withstand a certain degree of physical impact.

So the resistance fire ring is usually used by fire wizards to repel enemies!

However, it is too difficult for this hastily erupted fire ring to repel a body refining wizard. Therefore, Grimm staggered back, and his chest was swept by the fist wind, and his whole body flew out.

While still in the air, Grimm's chest had already heard a crisp sound of bones bursting, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out at the same time.

The blood shadow shouted, and the blood gas lingering on his body exploded into a terrifying flame stream blowing towards him head-on. As soon as he took a wrong step, he chased after Grimm's falling body. Two iron fists attacked in succession, and the surging blood shadows rained down on Grimm.

There was a loud bang.

Fire burst out in the dark woods.

Grimm's tall body instantly disappeared in the pillar of fire that shot up into the sky.

At the same time, a hundred meters away from the battle between the two men, flames were surging in a clearing in the forest, and Grimm staggered out.

The blood shadow shouted again, twisted his body suddenly in mid-air, and shot at Grimm again like a sharp arrow.

"Go to hell!" Grimm shouted in a low voice, raised his hand, and three exploding fireballs flew towards the other party in a triangular shape. As soon as the exploding fireball left his hand, Grimm lifted his right palm upward into the void, and a lava fireball the size of a washbasin quickly formed.

Facing the three exploding fireballs flying towards him, the blood shadow did not choose to dodge.

As a body refining wizard with rich combat experience, he knew it very well. Once he chose to evade, the opponent's elemental witchcraft would continue to be thrown at him. If the opponent pulled away from him, the horror of the fire wizard would be fully demonstrated.

So without hesitation, the Blood Hand Butcher raised his arms to block his face, and with a strong blood-colored energy surging around him, he actually chose to resist the exploding fireball.

Bang, bang, bang...

Three consecutive explosions, the dark forest was already red.

The violent elemental flames swept everything within 20 meters around into a raging sea of ​​fire.

The tall and straight trees that could be hugged by one person instantly burned into torches that shot up to the sky, and the wood chips and fragments in the sky were ignited by the sea of ​​fire, and the strong flames were blinding.

The sturdy blood shadow broke through the center of the explosion, and just as he rushed to the edge of the sea of ​​fire, what caught his eyes was a rapidly flying lava fireball and a staggering figure not far away.

Damn, the speed at which this fire demon activated witchcraft was really terrible!

While secretly complaining in his heart, the Blood Hand Butcher drew his sword and rushed forward, and the greatsword in his hand with a cold blood light directly cut through the lava fireball.

When he tried to break into the lava fireball again, a huge flaming fist opened up and knocked him back into the sea of ​​fire.

In the broken lava fireball, the red magma scattered on the green grass, and instantly burned the earth into a scorched earth. A tall figure with fierce flames all over his body stood silently, blocking the Bloody Hand Butcher's attack.

Under the cover of the Flame Tyrant, Grimm finally saw a glimpse of an opportunity, took out two or three bottles of potions of different colors from his waist bag, and drank them in one breath.

After simply treating the injuries on his body, Grimm raised his head, and two bright little flames in his black pupils quickly burned.

Wild and burning flame energy began to gather around him in large quantities!
