Chapter 260: The Bamboo Rod Elf
and the Sinking Demon, a negative product that has been with us ever since the birth of the arcane mage.
If the spiritual arcana is a mountain above the snow line, then the Sinking Demon is one of those who have died in an accident while climbing this peak.
Especially in the early days, before the Ring of Distortion was invented, arcane mages could not keep their true intentions, and degenerates abounded.
It is precisely for this reason.
Even though the arcane mages have opened up another powerful force, the Storm Empire under the rule of the knights still suppresses and excludes the arcane mages.
After all, no one can guarantee whether the arcane mage who greeted him today will degenerate into a fallen demon and kill him tomorrow.
Even arcane mages are full of intrigues and layers of defenses among themselves.
Until the Seven Towers Federation was founded.
An arcane mage accidentally discovered that he could lock his own heart in his spiritual core in a mirrored manner, thus inventing the Ring of Distortion technology. Since then, the arcane mages have finally curbed the birth of the Sinking Demon by relying on the effect of the Twisted Ring.
The arcane mage who invented the Twisted Ring, Wu Weiwu, was also successfully selected as a sage after the establishment of the Temple of Valor.
but.
The Ring of Distortion can indeed curb the birth of the Sinking Demon, but it cannot guarantee a 100% success rate. After all, some arcane mages suffer from some kind of accidental loss of their true nature, and even the Ring of Distortion cannot seal it, and eventually become slaves of spirituality.
He only acts according to his inner desires and no longer has any personality.
"Roar!"
Outside the light pillar of the moonlight cage, the sinking demon with billowing black smoke circled around the light pillar, seeming to be looking for a weak point to break the light pillar.
In the Bibo battleship, Duke looked nervously at the Sinking Demon outside.
Christian Raging Wave Shadow, who has returned to the battleship, has a particularly serious look: "This fallen demon is very powerful. It is at the level of the 7th Ring Morning Star. Duke, it can withstand the moonlight cage given by Lord Sirsus. Did it strike?"
"I don't know, but Lord Thelsus told me that the Moonlight Cage was strong enough to last until he himself came." Duke replied.
"I hope so, otherwise, you will be in trouble...and the chances are bad." Christian's phantom looked serious.
Facing the 7th-level Morning Star-level Sinking Demon, not to mention that the phantom of Christian is just a 5th-level clone, even if Christian himself comes in person, it is not enough.
"Yes, we can only place our hope in Sir Thelsus... This feeling of powerlessness is really... hateful!" The jade pendant in Duke's hand had been broken into powder, and he looked at the sinking figure lingering outside the beam of light. Damn it, he doesn't even have a strong desire to draw a gun.
His second-ring sand eagle can kill a fifth-ring spirit beast, and even with some strength, it is not impossible to kill a sixth-ring spirit beast by finding its weak point.
But for spirit beasts whose life level reaches level 7, they cannot break the defense.
If you can't even break through the 7th ring spirit beast, what's the use against the 7th ring Sinking Demon?
It should be noted that a 5th-level arcane mage like Keyston can basically defeat 7th-level and 8th-level spiritual beasts, and even 9th-level dragons can withstand one or two. When the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon invaded, it was Christian Furious who sacrificed his arcane weapon to repel the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.
Perhaps from a life level perspective, the ring level of a spiritual beast is not much different from that of an arcane mage.
But with the blessing of wisdom and civilization, the combat effectiveness of arcane mages far exceeds that of a large class of spiritual beasts.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rings are a large class, the 4th, 5th, and 6th rings are a large class, and the 7th, 8th, and 9th rings are another large class.
A second-level sand eagle can cross one large level and kill a sixth-level spirit beast, but it will never be able to cross two large levels and kill a seventh-level spiritual beast.
What's more, the Sinking Demon is originally the degenerate form of the arcane mage, and its combat power is basically the same as that of the arcane mage.
"Duke." The ghost of Christian suddenly turned his head.
"What?"
"If Lord Selsus fails to arrive in time, I will detonate this clone and the Bibo battleship to defend you for a moment. You can run away as far as you can... as long as Selsus If Sars can come before he catches you, you will have hope of surviving."
Wen Yan.
Duke turned his head with difficulty and glanced at the two assistants, Mulali and Mulashan, who were trembling with fear not far away.
And the personal knight who firmly guards him, Vivian.
Even if Christian said he wanted to detonate the Bibo, Vivian only raised her eyebrows when she heard it, and had no other reaction.
Touching the small pocket lying on his shoulder, Duke's nervous expression suddenly calmed down: "No, sir." "
You are stupid!" Christian stared blankly.
Then he seemed to understand something and said coldly: "Everyone on this battleship is serving you, including dying for you! There is no other reason, and there is no need for your unreasonable womanly kindness to sacrifice for the arcane mage. , is their fate!"
Boom!
Outside, the Sinking Demon, who had been lingering for a long time, finally couldn't hold it any longer and stretched out his hand to wave. Suddenly three big arcane hands with billowing black smoke gathered around his body, grabbing at the light pillar of the moonlight cage.
It's like hot oil hitting cold water.
Violent explosions occurred one after another at the edge of the light pillar, and the black smoke was burned miserably by the moonlight. But the Sinking Demon ignored it and controlled the black smoke hand to continuously attack the light pillar. Even though the light pillar burned, it only destroyed one of them.
"Sir!" Vivian stepped forward and put her right hand on her chest, "You are our hope, and sacrificing for you is our meaning!"
Captain Herdos, who was wearing golden armor, also stepped forward and said, Knight's Rite: "Dying to protect you is part of our contract. Please don't worry about it. As a knight, you will die in battle and die well and with glory!"
Boom!
Outside the light pillar, the Sinking Demon went crazy. Not only did he condense a big hand of black smoke to attack the light pillar, but he also risked being burned by the moonlight and kept squeezing in from the dim part of the light pillar.
"Danger is imminent!" Keystone waved his hand, "Duke, leave the battleship, quickly!"
Between words.
His figure had already rushed out of the battleship, condensed countless arcane ice cones, and like Gatling, bombarded the location of the Sinking Demon.
"Sir, leave!" Vivian shouted urgently.
"No hurry, no rush."
Duke waved his hand.
He was already communicating with Xiaoyi in his heart: "Run at full speed, hurry up, Xiaoyi, put all the power into charging the Duke Star!" "Master, it is already
charging at full capacity."
"How long will it take for it to be fully charged?"
" 3 minutes and 15 seconds...3 minutes and 12 seconds..." Xiaoyi started counting down.
Two sharp rays of light suddenly flashed in Duke's eyes, and he turned to Vivian and Herdos and ordered: "Join the battle cabin to resist the Sinking Demon." "Sir!" "
Follow
your orders."
"Yes... ..." The two of them had no choice but to enter the combat cabin.
As for Duke himself, he also entered the battle cabin, condensed the arcane hand and the second-ring sand eagle, and silently waited for the star mark in Duke's star to be charged.
"Jiji!" Xiao Kabuto, who didn't understand what was going on, also followed and jumped on Duke's shoulders, preparing to fight alongside Duke.
"Okay, let's fight together!"
Duke cast his gaze forward. The Sinking Demon was still squeezing into the light pillar, and had squeezed out a huge groove in the light pillar.
Kirsten Phantom desperately releases arcane spells.
When he turned around, he saw that Duke had not left the battleship, and he couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing!"
Duke responded loudly: "Sir Christian, buy me 2 minutes and 24 seconds. Don't worry, I have it myself. Way to escape!"
After taking a deep look at Duke in the battle cabin, Christian turned back and concentrated on killing the Sinking Demon.
Selsus hasn't arrived yet.
The Sinking Demon has squeezed its entire body into the groove of the moonlight cage. The light in the light pillar is distorted, just like a plastic film that may break at any time.
However, the light also burned the black smoke on the Sinking Demon's body at all times, causing the Sinking Demon to roar shrilly, as if his flesh and blood were being burned in pain.
At this time.
A reminder from Xiaoyi suddenly came to his mind: "The face comparison was successful. The identity of the fallen demon has been determined. He is Michael, the 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Instructor, the Guardian of the Gravel Domain, and the Chief Executive of the Union Tower of Gaohe City."
"It's Niang Xipi's!"
Duke was furious: "I knew it was this bastard, because I took away his opportunity to activate the will of the stars, and he degenerated into a fallen demon and refused to let me go!" In fact, there is no need for Xiao Xiao
. By comparing the artist's face, Duke could roughly guess that this fallen demon was most likely Michael.
Seeing the fallen demon Miguel, his whole body was about to squeeze through the beam of light and come in.
Duke clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "You bitch, it's not like I insist on taking your chance. If you don't find fault with the Stars Conference, you come find me! What kind of world is this? Even the Sinking Demon knows that he picks the weakest persimmons. Pinch it!"
"1 minute and 21 seconds..." Xiaoyi is still counting down.
The figure of Selsus has not yet appeared.
Seeing that the fallen demon Michael was about to squeeze in, the phantom of Christian floated to the battle cabin where Duke was, and said in a cold voice: "Detonate the battleship, you still have the last hope of escaping, Duke, if you hesitate again, regret it." It's too late!"
"I understand, sir, but I have a better choice! Trust me!" Duke's eyes were firm.
Detonating the battleship, he can at most resist the Sinking Demon Miguel for a moment. Facing the 7-ring Morning Star-level Sinking Demon, Duke can really escape from the Sinking Demon Miguel even if he relies on "Duke Feather" to reach a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour. The pursuit remains an unsolved mystery.
The best way to escape is to hide in the dreamland of stars.
"54 seconds!" Duke responded loudly, "Sir, help me hold on for another 54 seconds, not 52 seconds!"
Unconsciously, Christian chose to believe Duke. Perhaps he also knew in his heart that even if he detonated the battleship, it would still be over. Duke's safety is not truly guaranteed.
immediately.
The phantom of Christian Stone looked at the damaged light pillar, and faced it without looking back. Just when the fallen demon Miguel was about to reach in, he exploded his clone.
Boom!
The huge explosion shock wave caused the entire Bibo battleship to sway in the air, as if it were a small boat in the sea.
"Roar!" The Sinking Demon Miguel roared.
Duke stared fiercely outside the battle cabin, waiting for the light from the explosion of the clone to dissipate, and saw that the fallen demon Miguel was blown back a little.
But only a little.
The black smoke on the body of the fallen demon Miguel has been dimmed by the moonlight, and it has become even darker under the impact of the explosion of the Christian clone.
Even in some places where the black smoke cannot cover it, you can see the stark white bones.
I don’t know what kind of mutation caused a human being to suddenly transform into a fallen demon dozens of meters tall.
"21 seconds..."
"Roar!"
One arm of the fallen demon Miguel has already squeezed into the moonlight cage, followed by his head, which is pressed against the edge of the faint light beam, blowing up the light like a balloon, twisting and changing. light.
At the same time, the light burned the black smoke on its head and extinguished the black smoke on its entire head.
A completely white skull was exposed, as well as two green will-o'-the-wisps in the eye sockets, and green gas was emitted outside.
"Is Selsus not here yet?" Duke glanced at the moon in the sky, which was no longer so bright. "The 8-ring glowing moon arcane instructor is not that reliable." He patted his shoulder
. Xiao Dou said: "Go down, stay here, I'm going to do something big."
"Jiji!" Xiao Dou bit Duke's collar with a firm attitude.
Duke turned his eyes and ignored it.
Opening the door of the battle cabin, he suddenly jumped out of the battleship, and then a line of white wings spread out behind him, carrying him towards the fallen demon Miguel.
The hand of the arcane weapon was suspended tightly in front of him.
The second ring sand eagle has already targeted the fallen demon Miguel.
When he arrived in front of the fallen demon Miguel, Duke could see that the head and arms of the fallen demon Miguiel had been completely squeezed into the moonlight cage.
He suddenly raised the second-ring sand eagle, with a fierce smile on his lips: "Come on, Miguel, have a taste of the beauty!" The sand
eagle switched to burst mode, and the muzzle of the gun kept spraying Austrian smoke. The light of art.
Puff puff puff puff...
Explosive flame bombs exploded one after another in the eyes, nostrils, and mouth of the fallen demon Miguel, and clouds of fireworks overflowed.
It's like embroidering countless big red flowers on the face of the fallen demon Miguel.
"Haha!"
Duke's bullets were empty, Duke's flying feathers flapped, and his whole figure rushed in the opposite direction like a ray of light.
In a moment, he rushed out of the moonlight cage.
This moonlight cage is a one-way defense, protecting from the outside but not the inside, so Duke can rush out at will and dive towards the ground at high speed.
"Sir!" Vivian leaned on the glass of the combat cabin and shouted loudly.
But Duke had disappeared into the sky.
Miguel, the fallen demon who suffered from Duke Yan, also gave up and continued to squeeze into the moonlight cage. He swung his body, black smoke billowed and ignited, and chased towards the ground.
The people who left the Bibo and the First Battleship shouted loudly for Duke.
Vivian rushed directly to the door of the battleship, planning to jump off and follow Duke, but was restrained by Herdos: "Don't do anything stupid. Your Excellency is deeply blessed by spirituality, and nothing will happen to you!"
Mulali and Mulashan also rushed over, hugged Vivian and cried loudly: "Sister Vivian, sir, everything will be fine!" "The
spirituality of the entire Black Dragon River Land, the spirituality of the entire Seven Towers Federation , they all dote on you, sir, he will come back safely!"
Vivian leaned in the arms of Mulali and Mulashan, looking at the figure of the fallen demon Miguel who was following Duke, and was in a daze.
at the same time.
Duke was about to reach the ground, but the fallen demon Miguel behind him was as fast as a ghost. He rushed behind him in almost the blink of an eye.
See this.
Duke didn't dare to hold on anymore, so he could only grab the small pocket on his shoulder: "Whether you can survive or not depends on your own destiny... Who told you not to stay on the battleship!" He planned to put the small pocket on his shoulder
. If thrown from a high altitude, whether Kabuto can survive depends on his ability to resist falling.
"Flex your body and use your tail to control... balance!" Duke was already ready to throw Kabuto out.
At this time, everything in his field of vision was distorting and pulling.
Even his own speaking voice became loud and ethereal.
But at the most critical moment, Kabuto turned around and bit Duke's hand directly, unwilling to leave.
boom!
The fallen demon Miguel used his big hand of black smoke to grab it.
But the closest distance became the farthest distance in the next moment. The figures of Duke and Kabuto disappeared together in the palm of the black smoke's big hand.
The green will-o'-the-wisp trembled, and the fallen demon Miguel roared unwillingly.
"Roar!"
...
starlight shines.
Duke couldn't believe his eyes when he looked at Kabuto, who had bitten his hand and followed him into the dreamland of stars.
"Can you follow?" He always thought that the Mark of the Stars could only let him in, but he didn't expect that Xiao Kabuto was also brought in. "It must be a contract, a knight's contract mark, and Xiao Kabuto bites it at the critical moment. You brought him in because of me!"
"Chiji!" Little Kabuto didn't know why, and quickly jumped onto Duke's shoulder, and then carefully looked at the surrounding starry sky.
Duke thought of something else and patted his belly: "Chicken, can you hear me?"
"What are you doing?" Chicken's mind responded with a lazy message.
"Yeah!" Duke laughed.
You can bring Kabuto in with the knight contract, and naturally you can bring the chicken in with the elf contract. Perhaps in the future, if you study the power of the contract, you can bring more people or things in.
fifteen minutes.
Limited duration.
Duke sighed: "I don't know if the Bibo battleship will become the target of the Sunken Demon Guil after I disappear. Probably not. His target is just me... I hope Selsus can arrive in time. ."
He could only comfort himself in this way.
"However, should I stay here for fifteen minutes and then return to reality, or should I look for other stars and leave from another place?"
Thinking that the fallen demon Miguel was most likely still watching outside, Duke immediately denied leaving from where he was. Return to reality.
Celsus is already late and there is no hope for him.
"The fall of Michael, the Sinking Demon, might have something to do with me. At least before he fell, he must have hated me in his heart. The Sinking Demon will only follow its desires, and its desire is probably to kill me... It's better to be careful!"
Think of this.
Duke decisively walked towards the surrounding stars. He tried to use "Duke Feather" to fly here, but his fighting spirit and spiritual energy had been suppressed and he could not use it.
You can only move forward by running.
"Go to that star first, follow the route you have taken before, and record the information of all the stars as much as possible." Duke has determined that he will not return to his previous position, so he must be prepared to not return in the short term. Be prepared to go.
It is not until the Tree King in the Seven Towers Federation is found that he can return to his homeland.
"Xiaoyi, remember the information of all the stars!"
"Good master." Unlike the dream when the will of the stars is activated, Xiaoyi will not be blocked in the starry sky.
However, the next moment seemed to echo Duke's thoughts.
The Duke star under his feet suddenly stretched out an energy line, connecting all the dozen stars he had checked before.
As his thoughts flashed, his entire body had appeared at the star position he wanted to go to.
"Ah this!" Duke was startled and then understood, "Any star I have 'lit' can be reached by teleportation!"
This is great.
Duke thought silently in his mind, wanting to go to the farthest star he had touched before. The next moment, he was already standing next to the star.
Then continue forward, quickly run to another star, and reach out to touch it.
In a trance, it transformed into a big tree.
The big tree was swaying in the dense forest. A huge snake that was so huge that it was difficult to see the whole picture was coiled on the branches of this three-ring king tree, lazily basking in the sun. Its vitality and blood were so strong that Du There is a suffocating feeling of oppression.
"Huh!"
"This giant python is definitely at the level of a 9th-level sub-dragon. It slipped away." Duke quickly exited the tree king's consciousness and returned to the starry sky.
Then he ran to the next star without looking back.
As he ran, one star after another was touched, and then lit up in series with the Duke star under his feet.
Each of the three-ring tree kings in the real world that these stars are connected to is not within the territory of the Seven Towers Federation. They are either in dense jungles, desert oasis, or swamps with poisonous fog, and some even grow in deep water.
"Master, there is one minute left until fifteen minutes." Xiaoyi reminded.
"It's time to choose a tree king." Duke's eyes wandered along the energy lines under his feet, and finally locked his eyes on the last star that was lit, "Just this one, the 3-ring Great Elf Tree. King, I don’t feel the aura of spiritual beasts around me.”
The king tree that gave birth to a third-level great elf interested him. It would be great if he had the opportunity to contract a great elf.
He has not forgotten that he once had a dream to turn Qihai into a real elf paradise.
With a flash of thought, the person appeared beside the star. Duke stretched out his hand to touch it, and instantly transformed into the tree king of the third-ring great elf.
"Little Dou, come with me."
"Jiji!"
"Return!" Duke guided him with his thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, I felt that the sky was spinning, the starlight was retreating sharply, and the distorted colorful light finally settled into a huge tree king.
Like an oak tree.
It's not very high, a hundred meters at most, but the tree crown covers an area of one kilometer. There are no aerial roots, so the branches extend outward for hundreds of meters. When the wind blows, they only sway slightly, which shows how strong they are.
And Duke was standing on one of the branches of this oak tree.
The branches at the feet are about ten meters thick, which can be used to drive a Black Beetle car or even build a few houses. Moreover, there is a thick layer of soil with large tracts of grass growing on it.
This is an oak tree and a small ecological world.
"Jiji!" Xiao Dou also appeared on Duke's shoulder, following Duke to this foreign land, curiously looking at the surrounding environment.
"Xiao Yi, use the idle breathing method to search the surrounding environment. In addition, all the remaining power will be used to charge the star marks." "
Okay master... master, I found a group of humanoid creatures and a big elf, who are attacking the master." Move quickly in the direction you are in." As soon as Xiaoyi established breathing resonance, she noticed something abnormal around her and sounded an alarm.
"Humanoid creature? Great elf?" Duke raised his eyebrows.
Quickly activate the Arcana of Illusion, then quietly jump to the top of the oak tree, and use the Arcana of Illusion to cover your tracks.
The arcane hand was already floating behind him and holding the second-ring sand eagle.
On the Dou Qi holographic screen, red dots marked as humanoids and green dots marked as great elves mixed together and ran quickly towards his location.
"Shh, Kabuto, don't make a sound."
"Ji..."
Duke didn't run around. Running around in an unfamiliar jungle would be more dangerous.
The humanoids and the big elves were very fast, and they appeared in Duke's field of vision after almost a few breaths.
They are humanoid creatures that can be called "bamboo poles". If you look closely at their facial features, they are quite similar to Duke's elf form.
Pointy and long ears, deep eye sockets, and a high bridge of nose.
It's just uglier, darker, and more slender, giving it the feeling of Duke, these are thin bamboo poles that can move.
"The tentative name is 'Bamboo pole elf', Xiaoyi."
"Good master."
After the bamboo pole elf arrived in the shade of the oak tree, he stopped, and a brown tree that was much larger than the washbasin flew out of it. The yellow butterfly fluttered deep into the canopy, flying straight towards the branch where Duke was.
The flight path is very graceful, and the shape is as smooth as brown jade.
It makes people feel good when they look at it.
"Hey, it can detect me?" Duke's doubts flashed past, "Yes, it may have been born from this oak tree. There is no essential difference between me standing on the oak tree and standing on it."
Now that it has been discovered.
Moreover, he felt that this big elf and the bamboo pole elves under the tree were not a threat, so Duke did not continue to avoid them.
Xiaoyi judged from the breath resonance that these bamboo pole elves basically had a spiritual power fluctuation level of about level 1.
One shot of the sand eagle can kill a large area.
