Chapter 97 Nomination of Deputy Deacon
The troll Gram was a large man, and his running made a thunderous sound, exuding a powerful aura.
Lin Er had already fought Gram before, and now he was stronger, with Flora by his side to help him, so he was not afraid of him.
He immediately released his flying sword and slashed at Gram.
The Moonlight Sword was extremely fast, flying fifty or sixty meters away in a flash, and when you looked again, it was already on Gram's head.
Gram watched the little thing flying around in the sky warily, not understanding why his men had died so quickly.
He thought he was very clever, only sending his men to probe for human reinforcements, while he hid nearby, planning to have a big meal later.
As a result, while they were having a snack, all of their men were gone. What a useless bunch.
As the flying sword slashed towards Gram, he raised his arm to block it.
Swords flashed, and the flying sword left a cut on Gram's arm, slicing in two inches.
With a soft "plop," green blood flowed out, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding and healed.
"Damn bugs!"
Gram roared in pain, grabbed a stone, and hurled it at Lin'er.
Lin Er's expression changed slightly, and he dodged it in a flash.
The strength of the third tier is too great compared to the second tier, and the damage it causes is not ideal.
He would probably only have a chance to severely injure his opponent when he reaches the late stage of Qi Refining.
Lin Er wasn't in a hurry; he only needed to delay Gram for a while.
Graham patted his arms and strode off, his running posture wobbling and comical.
Seeing this, Lin Er leaped backward, creating a distance of thirty or forty meters.
Gram was also fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had closed to within fifty meters.
Just then, a sharp sound rang out, and an arrow, accompanied by a gust of wind, struck Gram's knee. He staggered and nearly fell to the ground.
"Flora, well done."
Seeing Gram pulling the arrow from his knee, Lin Er threw another fireball at Gram.
The fireball flew past at high speed, crashed into Gram and exploded, engulfing him in flames.
At that moment, Gram burst out of the flames and chased after them again.
At a glance, Gram's hair and the fur on his skin were all burned away, leaving only some charred remains, and he grimaced in pain.
"I'm going to grind you all into mincemeat and roast you!"
At this moment, Flora also joined Lin'er. She frowned and said, "Lin'er, stall this troll for a bit."
Lin Er nodded and maneuvered his flying sword to slay Gram again.
This time, Gram was more vigilant. He raised his arm and tried to catch the flying sword.
Lin Er maintained the distance and hesitated to bring the flying sword down.
Just as Gram's attention was entirely focused on the flying sword.
Flora drew back the bowstring, held her breath and focused intently. A faint blue light condensed in her hand, enchanting the arrow with it.
With a slight tremor of the bow arm, the charged whirlwind arrow flew out with a whoosh.
Gram reacted quickly, but it was too late to block.
With a soft thud, the arrow struck Gram precisely in a certain part of his lower body.
Graham's pupils dilated in shock. He bent down and pulled the arrow, still stained with blood, from his animal skin skirt, and his eyes instantly turned blood red.
A tremendous roar rang out, echoing through the sky and making one's ears feel uncomfortable.
That arrow was incredibly insidious.
Lin Er couldn't help but glance at Flora a few more times, only to see her coldly snort, "Serves you right for bullying Lin Er before!"
It turns out Flora was avenging him.
Lin Er quickly grabbed her hand.
"Run! This troll is going berserk!"
The next second, the troll Gram charged forward recklessly, instantly flattening the golden wheat in his path.
Lin Er pulled Flora backward and leaped to the trade route next to the wheat field.
Gram was close behind, less than twenty meters away.
The two then leaped over the thorns covering the ground.
Lin Er glanced back and saw Gram step into the thorns, immediately becoming bound by them and vines.
Upon seeing this, he immediately unleashed a quicksand spell from below.
The more Gram struggled, the deeper his legs sank.
Ignoring his injuries, he pulled hard and was freed instantly.
However, this delay of two or three seconds also created a distance of sixty or seventy meters between the two.
Lin Er and Flora ran another hundred meters along the trade route.
A second obstacle appears.
When he saw that Graham was chasing after him again, he used the same trick again.
This time, Graham's legs sank even deeper.
Seeing that he couldn't get out of trouble anytime soon, Lin Er quickly led Flora back to the stronghold.
Soon, he saw Talia riding a horse.
Keller and the others didn't run very far, only about five or six hundred meters.
Lin Er immediately stopped and said to Flora, "We can't run this way anymore. I'll go stop him."
Flora looked at her seriously and said decisively, "I'll go with you."
"Just keep shooting arrows from behind and harass them!"
Lin Er gave Flora a word of advice, then drew his sword and walked toward Gram.
Seeing that Lin Er not only didn't run away but actually dared to approach, Gram charged over with a ferocious expression.
Lin Er threw out the Spirit Wall Shield, which quickly expanded and grew larger.
In an instant, Gram crashed into it, and with a loud bang, the Spirit Wall Shield remained completely unmoved, like a city wall.
Gram was dizzy from the head bump; he swayed and shook his head.
Lin Er was also not feeling well; he felt his spiritual energy drop by almost half in an instant.
He quickly took out the Qi-boosting pills he had bought earlier and swallowed two of them.
The Qi-replenishing pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, relieving the feeling of spiritual energy depletion.
At this moment, Gram mustered all his strength and charged at Lin'er again.
He crashed into the spirit barrier, was deflected, and fell to the ground.
Just then, Flora suddenly called out, "Butler Roslin is here!"
Lin Er turned his head and saw a monster that looked like an eagle but had four legs and a large body flying in from the sky in the distance.
Roslinn, riding on the monster's back, hurled a golden spear at it.
The golden spear was incredibly fast, arriving in an instant.
A bright red light shone forth, and a scorching aura swept over.
Lin Er quickly retrieved the Spirit Wall Shield and leaped backward.
The next moment, one of Gram's arms flew out, and the golden spear followed, plunging into the ground at an angle, scorching the nearby weeds.
Graham's expression changed drastically, and his blood-red eyes instantly became clear.
He quickly scrambled to his feet and ran without looking back, rushing into the nearby grove of bushes.
A moment later, Roslin landed on her eagle, retrieved her golden spear, and gave Lin Er a deep look.
"you're good."
Lin Er: "Butler, you're the one who's amazing. You almost killed this troll in one move."
Roslin withdrew her gaze and said, "I need to return to the base immediately, so you all should hurry back. Oh, and consider that troll arm as extra reward for you."
After giving her instructions, Deacon Roseline rode her eagle back towards the Forest Mist Village outpost.
Lin Er glanced at the thick troll arm on the ground, and a notification popped up.
[Unrefined Mountain Demon Arm: Missing its other half, both Mountain Demon arms can be refined into a Mountain-Splitting Arm Armor.]
This thing is actually a good one.
Linwu Village outpost.
Lin Er and Flora spent some time getting back here.
When Lin Er arrived at the lord's hut, he was just about to report the rescue mission to Steward Roselyn when Roselyn suddenly spoke up.
"Lin Er, the deputy deacon will be transferred soon, and I'm planning to nominate you for the position. What are your thoughts?"
[The sect elders intend to promote you to a true disciple. True disciples can purchase magical treasures, spells for those at the Foundation Establishment stage and above, better elixirs, and better cave dwellings, etc.]
