Above the mage!

Chapter 399 It’s over
Under the lake.

The half-moon arc dissipated after releasing powerful destructive power.

A thick layer of frost has formed on the skull of the black-winged snake.

The extreme coldness swept through the black-winged snake's body from its head like a surging tide, quickly devouring its vitality.

Under this extreme pain, the black-winged snake's desire to survive erupted.

Its dark green vertical pupils flashed with a mixture of madness and fear. It subconsciously twitched its tail, which was farthest from its head and had not yet been fully affected by the cold current, and swung it towards Gaode.

The black-winged snake's tail is slender and powerful, the scales on it are small and dense, and there are two rows of sharp barbs on both sides of the tail.

The barbs are curved, like fish hooks.

Once the barbs hit the enemy, they will embed into the enemy's body.

With a little more pulling and tugging, the Black-winged Snake can tear the enemy's flesh and blood, causing fatal damage to the enemy's body.

This is one of the attack methods that the black-winged snake is very good at.

The power of its tail, which it swung out when it was dying, reached its extreme, like a steel whip, and the water it created was as violent as a blade.

boom!
A dull and loud sound echoed in the lake.

At this moment, Gao De's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, so it was difficult for him to make effective defensive evasive moves.

He could only watch as the black-winged snake's tail whipped at his body.

Even though the glimmer shield formed by [Shield+] has much stronger protective capabilities than [Shield], it is still a first-level spell after all.

Therefore, under the impact of the snake's tail, the glimmer shield shattered instantly like fragile glass, turning into countless flickering points of light and dissipating in the lake.

The snake's tail, with its remaining power, fell directly on Gaode's chest with unstoppable force.

A flash of blue light appeared.

The chest area is one of the protected areas of [Cold Winter].

The first-level solid rune effect seems to be somewhat insufficient in terms of protection when facing such a powerful attack from a second-level basilisk.

But fortunately, this time the power of the attack had been greatly reduced by [Shield Technique+].

Even so, the powerful impact contained in this sweep still instantly blew Gaode's body away.

Fortunately, he was in the water at the moment, and the strong resistance of the water was like an invisible big hand, slowing down his backward flying speed.

After retreating seven or eight meters, Gao De finally stabilized his body.

His body trembled slightly in the water, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if a fire was burning, causing a burning pain.

But Gaode had no time to heal himself. Instead, he endured the pain and looked up at the black-winged snake.

He knew that the vitality of the creatures in the earth veins was extremely strong, but he believed that the power contained in the North Wind, as a true ice magic weapon, was even more powerful.

The icy sword energy that he released close to the black-winged snake's face must have caused unbearable damage.

The counterattack at this time is just its last gasp.

The same is true.

After swinging the whip, the black-winged snake's dark green vertical pupils were still trembling slightly, as if it was still trying to maintain the last bit of life.

But apart from occasional uncontrolled twitching, the body could no longer make any other movements.

However, Gao De did not dare to relax, for fear that the black-winged snake was deceiving him, so he just waited quietly by the side.

Until its huge body could no longer maintain its buoyancy and slowly sank in the lake.

Gao De's mind moved, and the entry of the Black-winged Scaled Snake suddenly appeared in the smooth second ring origin of Feng Ling Yueying.

The overall situation has been decided.

The moonlight today is a little brighter than yesterday.

At the dock belonging to the sheriff's office, dozens of patrol boats were docked neatly together. As the lake water rippled, the boats swayed gently, and the boats collided with each other, making crisp sounds.

There are several bright lights hanging on the pier.

The orange light of the lanterns was reflected on the water.

The night watchman sat in a small house by the dock, boredly breaking off small peanut-like things, taking out the fruits, throwing them into his mouth, and chewing them with a crunching sound.

This is a local nut and it tastes pretty good.

Occasionally, he would raise his head and glance at the lake. It was already the second half of the night, when the sun was about to rise. The night watchmen were already very sleepy and their attention was no longer focused.

His eyes seemed to be scanning the lake all the time, but in fact they were completely out of focus. He just moved his eyeballs mechanically, and his thoughts had already drifted away.

Therefore, he didn't realize it until a small boat was about to approach the shore. He stood up quickly, almost losing his balance because of his hasty movements.

The night watchman did not even bother to stand still, and hurriedly shouted to the still dark lake: "Who is it?"

"It's me." Gode's voice floated over the lake.

The night watchman couldn't recognize who it was at first, but he felt that the voice sounded familiar.

While he was still thinking, Gode had already rowed the boat into the area illuminated by the lights.

With the help of the dim orange light, the night watchman saw Gao De's face clearly and finally remembered Gao De's identity.

He was also present when Gaode borrowed the boat yesterday and was quite impressed by the young Sea Sentinel Mage.

The night watchman quickly stood up, left the small room, walked quickly to the dock, and lent a hand to help Gaode reach the shore.

While helping, he always felt that the draft of Gaode's patrol ship seemed to be a little too deep?
The ship sank much more than usual, as if it was carrying something extremely heavy.

"Master Mage, have you just finished your search tonight?" The night watchman's mind was so confused after staying up all night that he couldn't think carefully. He just clapped his hands and spoke.

"That's right." Gode tied the rope to the wooden piles on the dock.

"Just leave the boat here and come back to get it when you need it tonight. I will explain it clearly to the person on duty. Or do you need to change a boat?" the night watchman said respectfully.

"No need to change," Godard shook his head and replied, "I don't need to borrow a boat tonight."

"Ah? Do you have anything to do tonight?" The night watchman didn't react yet.

"It's been solved." Goder jumped from the boat to the dock, took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling violently with his breathing.

At this time, the night watchman noticed that there was obvious blood on Gaode's chest.

"Solved?" His brain was still a little fuzzy and he didn't understand what Gao De meant for a moment.

"Please find some people to help, this thing is quite heavy." God pulled another rope tied to the boat.

The night watchman followed the rope all the way down until he saw the other end of the rope sink into the lake, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

Beneath the lake, a huge shadow was floating.

Although the light was dim and he couldn't see clearly, the huge outline had already shocked him.

puff!
Suddenly, a long tail swung out of the water, stirring up large waves. The water splashed onto the face of the night watchman, scaring him so much that he jumped back subconsciously with an expression of fear on his face.

"Don't be afraid. He's already dead, but his body can still move around." Gao De comforted him.

Long creatures like basilisks often have such characteristics.

It's like an earthworm. Even after its head is cut off, its body can still move for a long time.

"Is it that basilisk?!" the night watchman couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly.

"Correct."

"I'll go call someone right away!" he said hurriedly, surprised and happy.

His footsteps were hurried, making a clattering sound on the wooden boards of the dock, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Soon, the originally quiet pier became lively.

The night watchman hurried over with five or six people, some of whom were sleepy, obviously having just been woken up from their sleep.

They also brought capstans and lifting alchemical machines similar to pulley blocks.

Someone went into the water with a rope, swam quickly to the black-winged snake, and wrapped the rope around its huge body in circles to ensure it was tied securely.

Then, start the alchemical machine.

The rope was slowly tightened, and the body of the black-winged snake was slowly lifted from the lake.

Lake water kept flowing down from it.

As the black-winged snake's body slowly emerged from the water, everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen.

They originally thought that this snake monster should be just a first-level thin-winged water snake, but it turned out to have a huge head, a thick body, and fleshy wings on its back.
This is clearly a second-order black-winged snake!
