Chapter 748 Encounter on a Narrow Road

"Joan, what happened?"

Holden looked back, his eyes were suddenly dull!

Right in front of him, the seemingly indestructible ice wall that had been frozen for thousands of years was showing large cracks, making crackling and shattering sounds.

Immediately afterwards, the entire ice wall collapsed!

Countless shattered ice gathered into a silver torrent, accompanied by a shocking rumble, rushing towards Joan and the others.

"Run!"

Joan held Audrey with his left hand and Hailar with his right, and ran away from the collapsed ice wall.

Holden also came back to his senses in time, turned his head and ran wildly.

The crushed ice turned into a mudslide, roaring into the tunnel.

Fortunately, it was only a partial landslide, which subsided after just over ten minutes.

The four of Joan escaped by chance, their hearts beating so fast that they were about to burst out of their throats.

Just when he was still in shock, he suddenly heard a strange roar from behind the collapsed ice wall, and the sound of heavy footsteps quickly approaching from far to near.

"What's going on! Is there someone behind the ice wall?"

Hailar couldn't believe his ears.

"Could it be the dwarven miners who accidentally dug the tunnel and caused the ice wall to collapse..." Audrey speculated.

"No! That's not the sound of dwarves' footsteps!"

Joan turned around suddenly, with a very serious expression on his face.

"This roar... I heard it somewhere before."

After a little recollection, a terrifying image suddenly jumped into his mind.

"It's an earth giant!"

"The earth giant is still alive!"

"It was this monster that just dug through the ice layer, causing the ice wall to collapse!"

As if to verify Joan's prophecy, the hill formed by the crushed ice on the opposite side suddenly burst open.

A huge brown monster with both insect and human features waved its two thick long arms, swept away the crushed ice piled up in front of it, and strode out of the ice wall with a big hole.

Behind the monster, a blind old troglodyte, wearing a robe embroidered with many red-headed centipedes and holding an obsidian wand inlaid with amber balls, coughed and staggered along.

The two sides met on a narrow road, and they were very surprised at the first moment.

The old blind man and the earth giant, aware of the presence of Joan and the others, stopped one after another, turned their heads and looked over, with surprise on their faces.

Qiao An didn't forget the consequences of making eye contact with the earth giant, and quickly warned his companions sharply.

"Close your eyes!"

The earth giant was still digging a tunnel just now, in order not to be blinded by the crushed ice, this monster would at least close its translucent inner eyelids while digging its head down. In this case, it could not cast "Confused Gaze".

Joan's reminder was timely.

Hailar and Zion's siblings were already alert when they heard Joan mention the earth giant just now.

Seeing the monster crawling out of the ice wall, and hearing Joan's warning, they all closed their eyes tightly without thinking.

At the same time, Joan also closed his eyes, replaced his vision with "tremor perception", and reminded his companion loudly again.

"Protect from evil!"

Hailar was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then realized Joan's intentions, turned his back to the giant monster in a hurry, took out some silver powder from the spell-casting material bag, sprinkled it on his feet, and blessed himself with a 1-ring spell "protection from evil".

A circle of faint silver light rose from the female swordsman's feet, quickly covering her whole body.

Under the protection of this silver enchantment, even if you open your eyes and look directly at the giant earth monster, you will not be confused by its sight.

Audrey's reaction was no slower than Hailar's.

However, she did not bless herself with "protection against evil" immediately, but first sprinkled a handful of silver powder on her brother's feet to ensure Holden's safety.

As for herself, it doesn't hurt to add "protection from evil" later.

As a paladin protected by divine grace, Audrey had reason to trust her willpower.

The "confused stare" of the earth giant is terrifying, but it is not so easy to break through her will defense.

Thirty feet away, the old blind man had already noticed what Qiao An and the others were doing.

At the beginning when the two sides met unexpectedly, he was still not sure whether these young men and women were enemies or friends.

However, with his usual style of conduct, there is no need to identify friend and foe.

Since the other party also discovered the blue ice mine vein, and in fact has become his opponent for the mine vein, there is nothing to say, just kill it.

It's just that the old blind man didn't expect the other party to recognize the earth giant as soon as he saw him, and he made the most correct countermeasures in time.

This made him feel that something was wrong.

The four human men and women on the opposite side may not be easy to deal with.

The old blind man whistled and ordered the earth giant to attack Joan and the others immediately. At the same time shaking the robe, a stench evaporated from his body and quickly spread towards the area where Joan and the others gathered.

Holden is the only one on the team who can't cast "Protection from Evil".

While accepting his sister's magical protection, he was not idle.

Psionic brilliance emerged in his eyes, and he used his natural psychic powers to "manipulate the air flow" to create a gust of wind out of thin air, blowing away the stench released by the old blind man.

The earth giant stared at a pair of small eyes that were shining brightly, swung its two long arms wrapped in carapace, and rushed towards it roaring.

The monster's closed jaws were like a huge shovel, blowing away all the snow and ice that hindered its progress, and rushed towards Holden all the way.

Seeing that the huge monster was approaching more and more, while the companions around him were still busy casting spells, the poet resisted the urge to run away, and quickly drew his gun to shoot.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Holden hoped for the favor of the goddess of fate.

It's best to trigger the magic effect of the "funny gun" with the first bullet, turning the wild giant rushing over from the opposite end into a "chicken" or a "stone sculpture" or something.

Two bullets hit the hulk almost simultaneously, and were bounced off the hard exoskeleton.

Holden felt cold when he saw this.

The two goddesses of fate in the Vales world, Syndra and Dimoss, both disdain to pay attention to this Mr. Poet, who usually does not worship God and only prays when he is in battle.

However, just when Holden was in despair, another woman secretly offered him a helping hand.

Behind Holden came the voice of chanting an incantation.

In the void, a large cloud of "flash dust" suddenly flew out, covering the earth giant and the old blind man.

The eyes of the old blind man have long been useless, and the 2-ring arcane "flash dust" has no effect on him.

The earth giant was not as "lucky" as its owner. The moment it was irradiated by the strong light, its fragile eyeballs were immediately stabbed severely, and the pain was unbearable.

The monster raised its hands to cover its eyes, and howled in anger and pain.

The huge body in the charge, like an out-of-control carriage, rumbled past Holden until it hit the opposite ice wall.

Holden turned his head in astonishment, just in time to see an extremely familiar hazy figure, which gradually escaped from the invisible state and appeared in front of his eyes.

"Evelyn!"

The young poet couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
