Chapter 376 Crystal Nest
The moment Roland saw the panic and fear in Oaklive's eyes, his heart sank and he thought something was wrong.

Since Oakleaf didn't know that he was "Daddy", it meant that Roland's identity hadn't been revealed at all.In other words, Oakleaf didn't come here because of his own reasons, there must be someone behind him.

Reminiscent of the elemental incarnation that is well prepared at first glance, there is only one answer——

Counted!
An extremely intense sense of crisis hit, and Roland didn't care about continuing to interrogate Oakleigh, so he just jumped and wanted to leave the place.

But the moment Roland's feet left the ground, a large group of white mist burst out from under his feet, completely covering the range within six or seven meters, and the figure of Roland who had just jumped was immediately hidden in the frost mist.

Afterwards, from where he landed, a huge number of ice thorns protruded obliquely from the ground like a sea of ​​thorns, bursting in all directions, rushing towards the regular army.

Seeing this scene, Roland thumped in his heart.

He suddenly understood what that person was going to do——

Before Roland landed, those crystal icicles pierced through large areas of the regular army.Like a fruit nailed to a hedgehog, it was about one meter high and protruded obliquely like the hair of a porcupine, piercing through the abdomen and chest of those regular soldiers with unknown numbers, and the bright red blood was immediately covered by the hollow The icicles were pulled out, and the pale white icicles were completely soaked in the scarlet liquid.

Those who reacted faster instinctively wanted to turn around and run away, but the speed of their escape could not keep up with the growth speed of the ice thorns.Just after taking two steps, ice thorns pierced their backs.Some ice spikes even bypassed the gap between the ribs by chance, piercing deeply into the lungs.

Gulp, white foam poured out from their mouths in large quantities.It is impossible to cut or break the ice thorns. These ice thorns are too dense, not only nailed to their torsos, but even passed through their thighs, shoulders, wrists and feet. The people were nailed to the ground in an awkward posture, and no matter whether they were breathing or moaning, as long as they tried to exert force, the speed of blood withdrawal would suddenly increase.

By the time Roland landed, the ground had turned into a sheet of frosty white, and the mist that enveloped him finally dissipated.White frost gas was vaguely exhaled from his mouth and nose, and it landed steadily on the only ground without ice thorns, but this place was also soaked by frost gas and turned into an ice surface.

As for Oakleigh, he was frozen the moment the white frost burst and lost his color.After that, it was completely pierced by more than a dozen ice thorns, and it completely lost its movement.

Standing among the icicles is like standing on a still sea.Roland's face was gloomy, and he drew his sword and slashed on a relatively tall ice thorn, only to hear a crisp bang, and a small piece of ice thorn flew out and landed on other ice thorns, making a crisp sound like metal collisions. sound.

Judging from the feel, if this ice spike were a weapon, it would have at least ten points of toughness and hardness.Only those with strength over [-] can try to break it with their hands.It can be said that any combatants below the gold rank will have absolutely no way out once they are penetrated.

And the damage it brings is not just blood loss, penetrating wounds and visceral damage.Roland could even feel that the soles of his feet had been numb from the cold, and Roland's physical strength began to decline at an extremely slow rate just by stepping on these ice thorns.

This is why Roland is protected by the Embrace of Eternal Sleep.Those regular soldiers who were sucked out of the cold air from their bodies by the ice thorns were already dying.

Less than five seconds after Roland fell, their faces were only pale, their lips became bloodless, and their pupils began to gradually dilate. The tragic wails that rang through the entire house before had weakened to the point where they could not be heard at all.

Not only was their blood almost exhausted, but the remaining blood was also frozen into particles—now the blood in the hollow ice spikes had turned into small crystal red particles, covered by a thin layer of ice Covering reminds Roland of a kind of sorbet he ate when he was a child.Some of the shorter people who were pierced by the ice thorns have completely lost their vitality, and the blood drawn from their bodies by the ice thorns has gradually dried up. The crimson liquid in the ice thorns has gradually dropped, turning into a shallow And as the remaining blood was frozen into slush and fell down, the color on the wall of the icicle tube was still fading, almost turning into transparent white again.

In just an instant, the regular army that Roland wanted to protect was almost wiped out.

But the real bad thing is not that they are wiped out, but that they are not completely dead.

The ice thorns became sparse within less than 100 meters, and disappeared completely at 120 meters, leaving only faint frost marks on the ground.The few people at the door didn't even know what was happening in front of them—the corpses and dense ice thorns completely blocked their eyesight.

But from their angle, they could see Roland's face clearly.

Roland watched the remaining six or seven regular soldiers look at him with fearful eyes, sighed deeply, and his eyes gradually became cold.

As soon as he moved slightly, the white mist burst out, and ice thorns pierced out from the ground; Oaklif, who was fighting with him, was indeed stabbed to death, and he happened to be standing in the center of the ice thorns. As long as he is not crazy, anyone can see Until this scene, they will think that this is a good thing Roland did.

Roland knew very well what was going on.

The reason why I didn't feel the spiritual light and law fluctuations when casting the spell was not because the enemy was far enough away or set a trap under Roland's feet in advance, but because it was not witchcraft or divine magic at all.

This is a monster called Ice Nest, which looks like a white flat turtle shell with ice thorns around the edge.It has no limbs and can only drift with the flow.

The Ice Nest is a monster in the later stage of the Plague Revival, which appeared in the Ice Desert north of Suze, and is a special product of the Ice Desert.They generally float quietly below the frozen sea level, and when they are just below the victim, they will suddenly pop out the ice spikes on their bodies, piercing the victim and drawing the other's blood.

The base level of Ice Nest is Gold Rank, which means that the limit of Ice Nest can only reach the Gold Rank.Their challenge level is not high, they can be killed with one or two golds and three or four silvers. They belong to the trap monsters in the wild. Once they are found, they are easy to deal with, which is equivalent to a mobile experience gift bag.

However, after Lost Christmas, it was different.

According to the additional settings of Lost Christmas, Ice Nest has a very high concentration of Twilight Blood. As long as it is discovered by Twilight Followers, it will be easily domesticated and polluted, becoming a Twilight monster called Crystal Nest.

After receiving the favor of Higgs, they can float in the ground like floating in the sea, and their size has become six or seven times larger, and the coverage of the ice thorns has also become six or seven times the original.According to the setting of the first level of pollution, the originally harmless ice nest has become a small boss who can ambush and kill the powerful people at the Hall of Truth level.

And the only dead corner of the crystal nest is in the center of its body, which is where its brain is.There are no crystal thorns in that place, as long as the ground is bombarded with loud noise, it will emerge from the ground.

However, Roland knew that he was framed and wronged, but he didn't dare to call it out.

A monster beyond the golden rank is almost unsolvable in this era.As soon as it came out, the eyes of the whole city would be attracted, and Roland would immediately become famous.

Not to mention that Roland didn't dare to use magic, even if he used magic, he might not be able to beat him.His only confidence is that Jing Nest's speed is very slow, as long as he doesn't get pierced by crystal thorns, he can run away.

The only good news is that after the Crystal Nest appeared, Roland knew who was dealing with him.

Don't look at Oakleaf as the Ashes, but in this era, there is only one person who has mastered the technology of polluting monsters, and that is Windtalker.

……but why?
