The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Although Colin and the other man were very tired, they quickly prepared for battle.

Looking at the approaching long strip of sand, Colin and Edith each released two layers of defensive spells.

At the same time, be prepared to release attack spells at any time.

About three meters away from Colin and Edith, the sand suddenly spread out in all directions, and a snake jumped out from the hole below.

It was khaki in color all over, as thick as Colin's thigh, and when standing up it almost reached the chest of the two men, staring at Colin and the other man hungrily.

Almost at the same time, Colin fired a fireball, Edith fired an ice cone, and the sand snake on the opposite side actually spit out a rock ball and smashed it towards Colin and the others.

"Hey, you know magic."

Colin and the others avoided the rock balls, and the fireballs and ice cones hit the sand snakes, but did not cause any damage.

"It's a bit difficult to deal with. Its defense is quite strong."

Colin and Edith had never fought together, but their good fighting skills allowed them to cooperate quickly.

Edith casts a freezing spell to slow down the Sand Snakes' movement, and Colin prepares to cast his own compound spell.

Seeing that the rock ball posed no threat to its prey, the sand snake began to approach the two.

Although it was hit by the spells of Colin and the others, the harsh environment gave it excellent defensive capabilities, and it didn't care about these painless attacks at all.

It was originally a sand snake that lived in the desert, but no one knew when it was caught and thrown into this secret place.

However, with this familiar environment, it quickly adapted. There are many small creatures in the desert. Except for a sand scorpion with similar strength to it, other gerbils, sand scorpions, etc. are all within its hunting range.

Having no rival for a long time also made it start to become arrogant.

Today, feeling the breath of these two humanoid creatures, it rushed towards them impatiently. It wanted to change its taste. It was a bit tired of eating gerbils and sand scorpions every day.

The total distance was less than three meters, and no matter what slowing spells were cast, it could not stop the sand snakes from approaching.

Fortunately, it worked. Colin completed the preparation of the compound spell, and finally the burning rock ball shot towards the sand snake.

The sand snake thought it was just another spell like before, so it didn't take it seriously and continued to crawl forward. It was only one step away from reaching them.

The close-range spell attack, without any attenuation, hit the sand snake's "vital point" hard.

"Sisi"

"It hurts," the sand snake finally felt the long-lost pain. This was a memory it had only had when it was fighting with a sand wolf a long time ago before it was caught.

The sand snake was angry, and after taking the attack, it finally rushed in front of the two and began to bite Colin.

Colin didn't have time to cast any spells, so he had to pick up the sword and chop at the sand snake.

Edith took a few steps back and continued to cast freezing spells.

The two-handed sword's blow did not injure the sand snake, but its heavy weight did have a blunt effect on the sand snake, knocking its head crooked.

The sand snake turned its head and opened its mouth, ready to spray venom.

Colin saw the Sand Snake open its mouth wide, and guessed that it would make a new move, so he immediately swung his sword horizontally at it again.

Colin slapped the sand snake's head again, and the venom it sprayed spilled onto the sand beside Colin.

"That was a close call. If I had reacted a little slower, I would have been attacked by the venom at close range."

Seeing that ordinary spell attacks had little effect, Edith prepared to release the freezing ray. The penetrating power of this spell was very strong at the wizard apprentice stage.

Colin is still fighting with the Sand Snakes, and no one has an absolute advantage in the short term.

But don't forget, there are two people on Colin's side. Edith, who has prepared spells, releases a freezing ray at the sand snakes.

"sizzle"

This time, the sand snake was no longer in pain. It felt like the area near its heart had been completely pierced.

The enraged Sand Snakes stopped "playing games" with Colin and instantly wrapped themselves around him.

Colin only had time to block with his greatsword before he and the Sand Snakes fell to the sand.

The sand snakes kept wrapping around Colin, strangling him very tightly. If Colin did not have great physical strength and two layers of protective stone skin, he would not have been able to hold on for long and would have been strangled to death.

The big sword in front of him couldn't cut through the snake skin at close range. With Colin's help, it only created a slight distance in front of the chest.

Edith looked at Colin and the sand snakes entangled not far away and felt it was difficult to take action. If she cast another spell, Colin would be hurt if she was not careful.

At such a close distance, Colin could already smell the stench coming from the sand snake's mouth.

The sand snake had no intention of spitting out venom again. It wanted to bite Colin first and then inject venom. After he was poisoned, it would taste better if he were eaten raw.

Fortunately, the sand snake stopped spitting venom, otherwise Colin would not have been able to block it at such a close distance.

"Edith, use whatever magic you have, don't worry about me." Colin shouted to Edith.

Edith no longer hesitated and began to release an icy path under the man and the snake, and then released freezing magic towards Colin and the sand snake.

With the superposition of the two spells, Colin and the Sand Snakes' actions were greatly affected, and their movements began to become slow.

"Well, I can finally release the freeze ray again."

Seeing the right moment, Edith aimed at the weak spot of the Sand Snake and released the freezing ray again.

Almost at the same time, Colin's protective stone skin was broken by the sand snake.

"I&"

Colin was speechless. His defense was broken at this moment and there was no time to replenish his defense. He could still hold on for a while relying on his physical strength. Now he could only rely on Edith.

Feeling the humanoid creature under his body, it seemed easier to deal with. The sand snake wrapped itself tighter and bit Colin's neck.

Seeing this, Colin tilted his head and blocked it with his sword.

However, due to limited space, it could not be blocked at such a close distance, and it just deviated from the neck and was bitten by the sand snake on the shoulder.

"hiss……"

"your"

Before Colin could feel the pain, he lost feeling in his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Edith's freeze ray pierces the Sand Snakes' heart.

The sand snake's teeth were no longer clenched so tightly, "Is this humanoid so strong? Did I do something wrong today?"

It began to savor the taste of gerbils and sand scorpions, and gradually its consciousness fell into darkness.

It tilted its head, loosened its teeth, and leaned close to Colin's face.

Colin wanted to use his other hand to push the sand snake away, but it was inconvenient. He just turned his head away from the snake and could not move anymore.

Seeing that the sand snakes were killed, Edith approached Colin and prepared to help Colin pull the sand snakes away from him.

Before he could say anything to Colin, he found that Colin had fainted.

Edith was a little anxious. She pushed Colin and turned him over. She finally untangled the man and the snake. Fortunately, the sand snake was dead, otherwise she really couldn't have untied it with her strength.

Ignoring the sand snakes, Edith began to check Colin's wounds.

Colin's shoulder was swollen to the size of half a basketball.

Edith hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and began to suck.
