Griffith felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his mind went blank for a short time. He hurriedly checked around the rocks and found that there was no trace of Sonia nearby.

The missing map confirmed that Sonia was indeed sitting here just now. However, she disappeared without a trace within a few seconds of Griffith raising his head.

 “There’s a situation!” Griffith shouted as he felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain.

The nearby companions rushed over immediately, but no one knew where Sonia was going.

Galadia hurriedly took out a crystal and held it in front of her chest. The crystal glowed with white light, greatly enhancing her perception.

"She's nearby," Galadia said. "She's right here, and she's not hidden."

 “Push this rock away for me!” Griffith shouted, “There’s something wrong with this rock.”

 Immediately four or five people came up to help, with Griffith and Lana as the core, and tried their best to push the boulder.

The surface of the rock was uneven. Griffith dug twice and found a small depression and pushed hard.

"Moved!"

“With more people, such a big stone will definitely be heavy!”

 “Why do I feel that it has moved!”

 With the combined efforts of two strength-type Extraordinaries and six or seven people, the boulder made a rumbling sound and began to tremble and shake.

Griffith, who was exerting himself, suddenly felt a strange breath coming towards his face. Before he could understand what was going on, several hired help screamed: "It's moving, it's moving!"

A gap actually opened in the cold rock. In this gap, Griffith saw the gray-white dura mater flash past. Before he could understand what was going on, a breathtaking red line appeared in the gap.

Light.

At the same time that he was illuminated by this red light, Griffith's scalp seemed to explode. The big stone close at hand seemed to wake up from the cold silence, exuding a heart-stopping fear and threat.

 “Spread out!”

A familiar voice in the crowd exclaimed. It took Griffith a moment to realize that it was Galadia's scream.

At the same time, the rock in front of him shook violently, bursting out with unstoppable force. The sharp gray edges opened an abyss-like black hole toward Griffith from deep under the boulder.

In the dim light, Griffith saw Sonia's face. The girl's face was in extreme pain. She looked in the direction of Griffith, speechless, and was being dragged into the darkness little by little.

“Arcane Configuration 17, Stiffness, Binding.”

“Atmospheric configuration 6, levitation, traction.”

There were two explosions in the air behind them, and the light from the activation of the spell illuminated the front. Galadia and Fiona, who were at the back, had already seen the full picture of the abnormality and quickly launched the spell.

A huge mouth bit at Griffith. Deep in the big mouth, Sonia had been swallowed and was struggling painfully in the darkness.

He almost subconsciously pulled out his long sword, inserted it into the lower jaw of the big mouth, pressed the hilt of the sword against the upper jaw, and rushed deep to catch Sonia.

There was an illusory and shattering sound of magic disappearing around them. At least one of the spells released by Galadia and the others should have been resisted and failed. However, Sonia, who had been swallowed into the big mouth, was pulled outside by some force.

It slipped a little and just reached Griffith's hand.

He hurriedly pulled the girl outward with all his strength. There were bursts of creaking sounds in his ears, and the long sword supporting the big mouth was twisted and bent under the pressure of the huge force.

 Griffith hurriedly activated the spell. Ice quickly formed nearby, forming a structure to support the mouth. He took the opportunity to exert force and dragged Sonia out.

 “Bang!”

Almost instantly, the terrifying big mouth closed, making a terrifying loud noise and air waves. The steel sword that had just been obtained broke into two pieces and flew out, leaving a wound on Griffith's face, which was used as a support.

The solid ice broke into pieces.

The huge rocks in the camp are moving, and thick terrifying claws have been stretched out from the gaps, sweeping in all directions. It is carrying a thick shell, and its four legs are thick and ferocious. It looks bulky, but when it moves, it is surprisingly fast.

This turned out to be a giant turtle. It swallowed Sonia as silently as when it was rolling, without even disturbing Griffith. When its feeding was interrupted, it angrily bit into the panicked crowd.

stand up.

 Although Sonia was dragged out in good health, her calf and ankle were fractured. Her face was pale, she was gasping for air, and her chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that she had just escaped from the state of suffocation.

 “Attack it!”

Lana’s thunderous roar exploded in the cave, and he and Fiona rushed forward to fight the monster.

Wearing a silver breastplate and holding a diamond-shaped shield, Fiona was surrounded by brilliant haloes, and then swung her sword like a paladin to meet her. Her tall figure was filled with divine and glorious power, and her eyes flashed with anger and determination.

, he raised his shield to block the fierce attack of a terrifyingly deformed claw, and the silver stabbing sword in his hand hit the giant red eye.

Using the gap in this block, Lana's horse-cutting sword whizzed down and struck the sharp claws covered with solid rocks, causing gravel to scatter in all directions.

The attacks of the heavy sword and the rapier were blocked by the rock turtle shell, which did not cause any real damage. On the contrary, it made the monster even more violent and furious. It spread out its thick limbs, and its huge body actually ran rampant at a very fast speed, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

group.

"Griffith, take Sonia and step back." Galadia put away her wand and prepared to snipe the giant turtle's eyes with a bow and arrow. "I identified its identity. This is the ancient rock dragon turtle. It is

One of the guardians of the Belomon ruins, the legendary creature Kretan. It has gone crazy!"

Griffith was about to retreat when he felt a slight tug on his arm.

"Put me down, Griffith," Sonia said, enduring the severe pain in her legs. "The ancient rock dragon turtle has the blood of a giant dragon and is highly resistant to various spells. It is rational and peaceful.

It's a living creature, but the environment here can make it go crazy, so procrastinating it won't work."

“Understood, I’ll find someone to take care of you.” Griffith replied immediately.

In the short time after the dragon turtle swallowed it, Sonia's two calves suffered severe muscle contusions, and her ankle joints were also dislocated. Such injuries to the bones will take a considerable amount of time to recover, even if treated with magic healing spells or potions.

.

 “No, it’s just a small injury,” Sonia gritted her teeth, took out a bottle of strength-enhancing potion she carried with her and drank it in one gulp.

You drank the wrong medicine! Griffith glanced at the medicine bottle in surprise. He should have taken the healing potion at this time.

Sonia sat up after drinking the potion, suddenly grabbed the back of Griffith's hand and bit it with her mouth. Before he could understand what was going on, she had already held down the broken and deformed ankle and pressed hard with both hands.

  “!!!”

 Griffith felt a sharp pain in his hand. Sonia bit him hard and at the same time tried to reset the broken ankle joint by herself.

This caused both of them to break out in cold sweat. Sonia glanced at Griffith with trembling eyes in pain, and tears were already welling up in her eyes. However, she reached out and pressed her other hand.

ankle.

 “Slowly!”

 Just as Griffith opened his mouth to stop him, there was another sharp pain on the back of his hand. The girl's beautiful little mouth was about to bite through his palm.

Sonia was already crying in pain. With tears in her eyes, she let go of her biting hand, took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it while crying.

 Griffith marveled in his heart. He rubbed his hands and said softly: "You can drink some anesthetic first. It won't hurt so much."

“Come on, woo, it’s too late,” Sonia said while sobbing. “The anesthetic will paralyze the nerves and hinder the casting of spells. We must suppress this dragon turtle as soon as possible, otherwise we don’t know what will happen.”

 In this short period of time, the battle ahead has reached a critical juncture.

Contained by Lana's roaring slashes, Fiona finally pierced the dragon turtle's left eye with a delicate stabbing sword, but the crazy behemoth was as unstoppable as a rolling mudslide. Lana had to give up the execution.

The plan was to use the thick blade of the Zhanma Sword for delay and defense.

Galadia and Lana's attacks were both able to penetrate heavy armor, but facing the thick rocks of the Dragon Turtle, they had no where to start. After a few rounds, Cretan opened his mouth, and an invisible sound wave

It exploded immediately.

The people in the fierce battle felt as if their brains had been hit hard. Accompanied by dizziness and nausea, their bodies were shaky and about to fall to the ground. The mortal guides and employees had already escaped some distance, and were still covering their heads under the impact.

Kneel down.

  Cretan rushed over at an unimaginable speed and opened his mouth to bite him. A half-kneeling employee had no time to escape and was swallowed on the spot without even letting out a scream.

"Let everyone retreat and give up this exploration," Sonia, who had recovered from the pain, took Griffith's arm, "The legendary creatures that can become the guardians of the elven ruins are powerful creatures with long lives and extraordinary wisdom.

, if it all falls into madness, this ruins must be in serious crisis."

 Griffith nodded and said: "Then I will contain it. What countermeasures do you have?"

"Even if the direct effect of the spell is not immune, the duration and effect will be greatly shortened, just like what everyone encountered just now," Sonia restrained her usual smile and said with a rare serious expression, "But its

Resistance cannot prevent changes in the external environment. Griffith, just find a way to contain him where he is for a while."

As she spoke, she took out a black book with silver borders from her luggage. The moment she touched the cover, a string of ancient and complicated words shined.

At this time, the attacking team was in chaos. After trying their best to break through the rock wall of Cretan, Lana and Fiona, who were responsible for the main attack and defense, could no longer restrain the dragon turtle's attention.

Kraitan began to randomly bite and swipe at all the attackers around him. Lana, who found that the attack effect of the sword was not effective, tried to insert a dagger into the crack of the rock, and twisted the blade without hesitation. Suddenly

He was stared at by the ferocious red eyes of the dragon turtle.

“Bang!” A strong wind swept over him and knocked him away. The dragon turtle broke through Rana’s blockage and rushed towards Galadia.

At this moment, the elf's figure was wrapped in the strong wind, flickering to one side to distance itself from the madly charging dragon turtle. The air began to surge violently, and a powerful spiritual energy wave was gathering around the elf.

 Griffith saw that Galadia's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and he quickly rushed forward to block the Dragon Turtle's attack. They had fought together many times, and they knew each other's actions without saying a word.

 The elf's beautiful eyes were gleaming, and her powerful aura made people afraid to come close. She opened her strong bow, her long hair flying in the strong wind, and any thoughts that dared to violate and blaspheme were swept away and crushed.

"Let it face me," Galadia said calmly, "I will give the fallen a complete purification!"

Griffith immediately charged towards Kraitan. He took off the Vanguard Shield and held it in his hand, heading towards the Dragon Turtle. According to the latest test, Griffith's strength has reached 21 points. With such power,

With the blessing of a shield made of rare metals, even though the Ancient Rock Dragon Turtle was a rare legendary creature, this collision still knocked it to the ground.
