Chapter 182 Hunter and Prey

One attack failed, but the opponent's attack pace did not stop. Perhaps Liqi's retreating behavior angered it and made it launch an attack faster.

The huge body continued to take a few steps along the momentum of the front thorn, and waved her arms with a thorn in the direction she was in while catching up with Liqi. The spacious corridor could not limit its pace, but it had completely blocked the road ahead of Liqi.

"Tsk, what an annoying guy..."

Unhappy, Liqi's face showed a little troublesome expression, and then she turned around and ran without hesitation. She rushed into the rotunda hall behind her, and the black figure swept across the dim hall, leaving a series of crisp footsteps on the stone stairs.

She would not choose to face the colorless hunter head-on in the narrow passage. Even if the passage hinders the opponent's movement, she could not get around behind the opponent. Fighting head-on with huge enemies in the same narrow space is a bit like a short strike.

So she chose to temporarily distance herself so that she could better utilize her mobility advantages in the wide space. While rushing down the stone steps, Liqi turned her magic and left a spell mark behind her. In an instant, several pale round arrays slowly appeared on the stairs she stepped on.

As expected, when the other party saw Liqi turning around and fleeing back, he immediately accelerated and followed closely behind. Looking at the huge body, he felt slow, but the hunter's running speed seemed to be faster than Liqi after using magic power to strengthen it, and the speed between the two gradually shortened.

Liqi had already prepared the speed of the hunter behind her. The spells left behind were set for this speed. When Liqi set up the cube array, she had already considered the opponent's stride, and each cube array was placed at the edge of the position it had to step on.

The other party fell into a "trap" set by Liqi, but it did not take any avoidance measures. Perhaps it was because it had extreme confidence in its body. Perhaps it was because its brain capacity was not enough to deal with complex problems, so it took a step and stepped firmly on the trap.

"I said you are a fake idiot or a real idiot." Liqi didn't know how to evaluate the other party's behavior. She was a little surprised when her plan was so successful. "Is there really anyone in this world who can step on it without hesitation when you see obvious traps?"

She was not allowed to comment on the current situation again. The feeling of magic being touched was fed back to her hands - the mechanism of the trap had been driven. In an instant, the pale magic exploded under the other party's feet, and along with the flash were several lights like silver thorns.

The step it took was too big. This put it in a troublesome situation. Under the collision, more magic cube arrays were touched, and the pale magic power shone one after another where it passed. The circular arrays were torn apart by the gushing magic power, and the radiated light shot towards the body in the center in turn.

The "chains" ejected from the magic cube array were wrapped around its colorless body like a poisonous snake. The entangled silver thorns seemed to catch the air. The silver light emitted from the spell could not shine with its body, and there was no trace in the projection.

The ability to conceal the body is powerful enough. Liqi remembers that there are not many spells that can achieve this level - even some illusion spells that claim to be able to "completely integrate into the surrounding scenery". If a creature can completely eliminate its body from the eyes of others, it is definitely an extremely dangerous killer.

But it ends here. Perhaps its ability can give it a strong combat power, but unfortunately its intelligence is not proportional to its physical ability. The spells that entangle it not only physically limit its next action, but also tell Liqi where it is.

No matter how you look at it, the body of this colorless individual is surprisingly huge. It may not be easy to detect when it is curled up in the corridor, but now when you expand the whole picture, Liqi notices that it has a body that is almost larger than that of industrial Grames.

It was struggling, and its huge body kept twisting, trying to break free from the spells that wrapped around its body. As it continued to struggle, Liqi clearly felt that the magic power in her body was passing by rapidly. The spells used to restrain became extremely fragile, as if they would be torn to pieces in the next moment.

What kind of monster is this? Liqi can't imagine that there are not only ghouls, but also such weirdness in the underground of Katris Academy.

Liqi was unwilling to let it continue to exist - no matter what Curt said. When she turned her body, a magic spear appeared in her hand. It seemed to be made of shadows, leaving only an irrecognizable outline in the dim space.

Step, step...

After a few steps in running, Liqi focused the enhanced magic completely on her hands, and then threw the spear in her hand when the speed reached its maximum. At the same time, all the spells used to bind the target were removed by her, and the little magic power that flowed back quickly filled the gap in previous losses.

Crack! Bang!

The moment the spell was cancelled, several consecutive loud noises suddenly came from above the stairs. The colorless individual who had escaped from the bondage did not retract his movements. His limbs, which were swung greatly in order to struggle, hit the stone seats around him. The scattered dust stained it, exposing the hidden body.

A moment of imbalance exposed it to a fatal flaw, and Liqi aimed at this moment. The spear woven by the shadow passed through the air silently, and before it could make any defensive moves, it penetrated the small area in its chest.

"call……"

A cry of wail sounded like a low breeze in the circular hall, and the source was the colorless hunter. The shadow spear thrown by Liqi seemed to have hit anything, but Liqi told her that the spear had nailed the enemy to the ground.

In an instant, in the space where there was nothing, a ball of "air" melted. Gradually, a gray figure appeared in Liqi's vision.

It has an insect-like head - perhaps it can be said that it is a large insect with a human shape and able to walk upright. Its gray body is covered with a layer of dull exoskeleton, and a little black liquid as sticky as oil was flipped in the place where the spear hit it.

As Liqi felt, it gave people a hunter-like feeling. Although the body was huge, it did not look bloated. It was connected to several limbs with strong driving. Liqi didn't know whether these parts were tentacles or arthropods. Perhaps it was the help of these limbs that could be twisted freely, which allowed it to launch a rapid raid on Liqi in the corridor that was too narrow for it.

There is no reaction of life in this colorless hunter - this has not changed since its appearance. Liqi looked at it and felt like some clay man who was given a hypocritical life, monotonously and stupidly executing the master's commands.

Although it has fallen now, Liqi cannot determine whether it has "dead" - it just penetrates its chest and cannot stop a golem completely. There is no life reaction or trace of magic power. Liqi really doesn't know what kind of monster it is.

She approached a few steps tentatively, and the fallen "hunter" did not move. The sticky liquid flowed out of the wound on its body dyed the gray-white body with a disgusting color. The exoskeleton dyed in black slowly cracked and gradually disintegrated into pieces of fragments.

creak, creak, creak...

Like a gear that was about to be broken, a dry friction sound broke out near the "hunter" lying on the ground, and its limbs couldn't help but tremble slightly. Liqi, who thought it was about to stand up again, subconsciously took a few steps back, but she didn't expect that the change in front of her was faster than she thought.

The ground was trembling, and the friction sound became violent with their rhythm. The stone seats arranged on the ground moved like dominoes, and the platform in the center changed its angle. Even the stairs that originally led directly to the upper exit disappeared in front of Liqi's eyes.

Damn it—

Liqi looked around and tried to find a way to get out of the platform she is currently in, because she found that the platform seemed to be slowly decreasing. However, the decline rate exceeded Liqi's expectations. Before she could react, the platform under her feet had already fallen into deep darkness.

It’s not that Liqi has taken the recently popular hydraulic elevator, but she can feel that the descent platform does not operate based on the same principle. The thick stone slabs continue to descend, and at the same time it emits a fierce roar. The air rushing from the ground makes Liqi feel cold all over her body.

Not long after, the platform passed through the long passage and reached the bottom layer directly, but around it, there were only cold rocks but also cold rocks. Looking up, the hole left when landing had been blocked by another stone slab, and darkness completely enveloped the place.

It seems that this is another trap.

"Koter, the passage here seems to be able to be controlled and changed, so I was locked up." After a moment of silence, Liqi connected to Koter helplessly, telling him the situation of becoming increasingly strange, "How are you doing there? Has the wall problem been solved?"

Just as she tried to contact Curt, she used spells to light up a little light. She saw a few small holes left on the stone wall around her, and now these holes were slowly flowing out a purple-black liquid - they seemed to explain to her that they were violently toxic.

It seems that Liqi must admit that the other party seems to be not as simple as locking her up. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
