Spellcasting Heavens
Chapter 820 Manticore
Manticore, as the name suggests, is a special creature with a red lion body, a human face, human ears and blue eyes, three rows of sharp teeth on the upper and lower jaws, and a deadly stinger at the end like a scorpion.
Moreover, these poisonous stingers can be launched in any direction. Once hit, not only will it cause physical damage, but at the same time, the toxin will quickly spread throughout the body along with the blood flow.
In addition, according to the records of the ancient Persians, the throat of this monster can imitate the sound of a flute or a trumpet to lure prey into the bait.
Generally speaking, only a few of the mighty manticores that have terrified human beings since the age of mythology live in the Arabian sphere of influence in West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia. The total number does not exceed 300, and they are strictly protected by the local forces. Guys who play wrong ideas will be sniped 100% by their joint efforts.
But as the saying goes, the return is always proportional to the risk.
Since manticores are highly domesticable, and the venom secreted from their tails can affect a variety of magical creatures, many people secretly are willing to pay high prices for one or two, which naturally gave birth to poaching and smuggling business.
Relatively speaking, the European continent, which has a long history, has a slightly stronger demand in this area, while few people in North America dare to touch this restricted area.
The reason is very simple. As early as 1903, someone transported a hidden manticore to Atlantic City. As a result, an accident happened halfway, killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds of people. It was blood plasma and broken corpses, which almost exposed the underground world to ordinary people.
In order to ensure that a similar situation would not happen again, the perpetrator was sentenced to three hundred years of indentured slavery, and his descendants are still providing special services to a certain MP.
With this living example, no one would dare to try to transport overly dangerous magical creatures to the United States within a hundred years.
But it is also more than a hundred years later, it seems that some guys have forgotten the lessons learned from the past, and started to move around again.
Abraham Boroman, a depraved druid who was expelled from the church for violating religious rules, is currently the only guy on the east coast of the United States who dares to smuggle and sell dangerous magical creatures.
But today, he was obviously not in a good mood. He sat in the office with a gloomy face, and roared furiously at several of his subordinates: Idiot! Tell me! Did you grow up eating shit? How dare you let a woman secretly Sneaked into the warehouse! And let the manticore worth 30,000 gold dinars escape!
Boss, she is not an ordinary woman,
But a witch. A black man who looked about 30 years old corrected in a low voice.
Shut up! I don't want to listen to your excuses! Remember, I'll give you 20 minutes to clean up everything, and you must not be discovered by the lord and council, understand? Otherwise, we will all die! Abraham Bo Roman threatened viciously.
Twenty minutes? Catch a manticore and a witch in the complex dock warehouse? The black man's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief on his face. You have to know that this is the port of New York! The annual throughput reaches hundreds of millions of tons! The containers placed outside are so densely packed that you can't see the end at a glance! Coupled with the uniformly built warehouse, even if you touch thousands of people, you may not be able to reach the end. Check all corners in one day.
You don't need to worry about this problem! I will send my little baby to be in charge of the search! Your task is to catch me both the man and the manticore! Especially that damned little bitch! I must let her know to disturb me How serious are the consequences of doing business.
After finishing speaking, Abraham Borrowman inserted two fingers into his mouth and whistled vigorously.
moment!
Dense seagulls flew over from the seashore, circling along the sky above the entire terminal logistics area.
After a while, more than half of them huffed and swooped down towards the corner near the east.
Seeing this scene, he immediately opened the window and pointed to the place where the seagulls fell: It's over there! Go! Don't let them escape...
Before the words were finished, a poisonous needle with black light flashing slammed into the wall next to it, scaring everyone in the room into a cold sweat.
You must know that the toxin of the manticore is not comparable to any poisonous creature on earth. It is not so much poison as it is a kind of magical energy that can affect body functions.
All it takes is a scratch of the oily skin, and even a full-grown elephant can die of poison in seconds.
Meow!!!!!!!!!
Before these people came back to their senses, a small cat-like animal covered with black hair suddenly jumped out from behind a container, knocked away the manticore chasing the girl, and issued a threatening voice at the same time. growl.
Come on! Cody! If you hold on for a few more minutes, Zhang will come to rescue us. Elizabeth shouted while running desperately without looking back.
Get out! I swear! If you can go back alive this time, you must scratch your ass.
As soon as he spoke, this black plush creature, which was originally the size of a domestic cat, swelled rapidly and turned into an elegant leopard.
Especially its exaggeratedly large claws, the ends exude a metallic luster under the sun's rays, and it is not vegetarian at first glance.
But the irascible manticore obviously wouldn't be intimidated by this threat. After getting up from the ground, he immediately shot a poisonous needle from his tail without saying a word.
Clap clap!
Accompanied by dazzling golden sparks, the thick and sturdy container shell was pierced with a row of holes the size of a small finger.
Not to be outdone, Cody swung his claws that were sharper than a lathe knife, and charged straight at the Manticore, cutting a deep bone-deep wound on the manticore.
Woo!!!!!!!
The severe pain made the manticore become more manic, and opened its mouth wide, trying to bite the opponent with three rows of sharp fangs.
Since the two are now fighting each other, once it bites down, it will 100% cause a lot of damage to Cody who has become a big cat.
Just at this critical moment, a black spot suddenly appeared in the air, and the surrounding time suddenly came to a standstill.
next second...
boom!
A huge fireball rose into the sky!
The poor manticore was directly blown away by the explosion and shock wave generated by the fireball, and slammed into the stacked containers behind, making a deafening noise.
Sorry, I wasted a little time locating the coordinates, are you okay? Zhang Cheng came to the girl and asked with a half-smile.
God! You're finally back!
Elizabeth jumped up and hugged her boyfriend's neck, shaking with excitement.
