Chapter 262: Live Longer
The oak forest in the rain forest can be clearly seen to be planted by the Asiba tribe, not a natural oak forest.
Spread into small patches and plant in suitable areas.
This small area is the oak field.
At this time, Captain Batu Batu took Duke to one of the ruined oak fields.
"Lord God, there is the scavenger beetle." The oak spirit's tentacles pointed at an ugly beetle that was chewing on the oak tree in the oak field.
This beetle is somewhat similar to a large dung beetle, but its mouthparts are sharper and its carapace is covered with spikes.
3 Ring Spirit Insect.
Duke discovered the beetle as early as one and a half kilometers away and sensed it carefully through respiratory resonance.
I can roughly feel the attributes of the scavenger beetle. The level 3 level is average, and the elemental attributes are more earth-based.
Much stronger than burrowing army ants.
"It doesn't matter." Duke was wearing casual clothes and put his hands in his pockets.
The arcane hand held the second-ring sand eagle, aiming at the beetle that was still eating the oak tree.
next moment.
An ordinary bullet was fired, and poof, the scavenger beetle's head was blown off, but the remaining body actually began to condense arcane magic.
"It will explode, Lord God!" Oak Spirit shouted.
Duke had already roughly understood the arcana solidified by the scavenger beetle through Oak Spirit's previous description, among which was the 2-ring arcana - Rock Explosion.
Very powerful.
"It doesn't matter." With a thought, Duke condensed the most proficient level 1 arcane spell - Mage's Hand.
A large hand with a faint gleaming light directly pinched the body of the scavenger beetle, and then squeezed it hard, directly pinching away the arcane luster on the beetle.
It is easiest to interrupt the arcane spell before it is formed.
"There are many more, Lord God, they, they are coming!" The oak spirit surrounded Duke, and it could sense the breath of the scavenger beetles.
Xiao Dou, who was standing on a big tree not far away, also made an uneasy "chichi" sound.
"Jiligulu!" Captain Batu Batu, with the members of the hunting team, quickly approached Duke and made a slight sound to communicate.
"Is it underground?" Duke glanced at his feet.
There is no hint of the scavenger beetle in the breath resonance. It is not that there is something wrong with the breath resonance, but that the breath resonance cannot deeply sense the ground beneath your feet.
Although vague perception can be established through the roots of plants, it is ultimately not as good as the ultra-wide range of perception brought about by the escape of natural forces on the ground. Fortunately, there are few truly powerful spiritual beasts underground, and most of life on the ground.
now.
He already felt a slight vibration under his feet.
Then, small red dots representing spiritual beasts began to appear on the Dou Qi holographic screen. They were the vague perceptions of scavenger beetles crawling underground and passing by tree roots.
"There are many, so we have to climb a tree." Duke jumped up, and his fighting spirit spurted out, turning into a pair of wings, carrying him to the canopy of the oak tree.
Wow!
The ground cracked under his feet, and a scavenger beetle crawled out with its claws.
What greeted it was a bullet, an ordinary bullet from the second-ring sand eagle, which accurately hit the head and exploded the entire head of the scavenger beetle.
"Without defensive arcana, such spiritual insects are easier to hunt than burrowing army ants." Duke stood on the oak tree, still maintaining his previous posture, watching indifferently as more and more insects emerged from the ground. Scavenger beetle.
The arcane hand wraps the second-ring sand eagle, like an automatic sentinel, killing every scavenger beetle accurately.
"Jiligulu!" Batu Batu and other oak men also climbed up the oak tree and cheered for every Duke's kill.
boom!
The corpse of a scavenger beetle suddenly exploded with the third-level arcane spell - Rock Explosion.
A large crater was directly blasted into the ground, and the flying stones made his companions scream, but they could not break through their spiked shells.
The oaks were dodging one after another, and Kabuto was jumping up and down on the tree.
Only Oak Spirit was hiding behind Duke, and in front of Duke, a 2-ring combined arcane-elemental arcane shield had been instantly released.
This is the Arcane Shield Miracle and the Elemental Shield Miracle. The arcane spell combined after the linkage is much stronger than the ordinary 2-level arcane spell.
If a stone hits it, it will be buried silently.
More and more scavenger beetles broke through the ground and rushed toward the oak tree where Duke was, like a wave of insects reappearing.
Click!
Arcane Hand changed a magazine for Sand Eagle, and the bullets were also switched to shotguns - the physical version of special effect bullets, which has the greatest lethality; the elemental version mainly plays a supporting role, and its own power can only be said to be unsatisfactory, slightly stronger than Just arcana of the same level.
For example, in the special effect bullets - elemental version, explosive bullets, freezing bullets, lightning bullets, and golden gun bullets are basically special forms of 2-ring arcana.
Only as the level of the Sand Eagle increases, the power of the elemental bullets will increase accordingly.
but.
It can never compare to the pure lethality of physical bullets, but tracking bullets, laser bullets, and jamming bullets all have auxiliary effects.
boom!
After switching to shotgun, the gunfire of the second-ring sand eagle suddenly increased a lot.
When a shotgun shot out, countless small steel ball-like projectiles were ejected. The projectiles spread and attacked more and more scavenger beetles on the ground indiscriminately.
In the past, ordinary bullets could kill one with one shot. Now they are switched to shotguns, which can kill one with one shot.
Boom boom boom!
The dead scavenger beetles started to self-destruct one after another, and explosions sounded one after another at the edge of the oak field.
Pebbles splashed.
But it couldn't cause any harm to Duke. The insect sea tactics also failed under the shotgun. The dead scavenger beetles exploded one after another, and soon a deep crater was made in front of the oak tree where Duke was. However, There are still scavenger beetles arriving one after another.
"Lord God is so powerful!" Oak Spirit was shocked from the bottom of his heart when he saw Duke fighting against the insect swarm alone with a gun.
As a third-level great elf, it has been hanging out with the weak oak men for a long time, and has already placed itself in the weak position.
The shock in Oak Spirit's heart was quickly sensed by Duke. He turned around and smiled at Oak Spirit: "It's just a bug. To me, the third ring is no different from an ant... I think back then. , I even hunted the 9-level dragon in my hometown!"
Although he didn't break the defense of the dragon, at least he participated.
"9-ring Yalong... what kind of great existence is that?" Oak Spirit couldn't imagine.
It lived in the rainforest with the oak people, hiding in the east and west became a common thing, and it had never faced a powerful spiritual beast directly.
"There will be a chance to see it. In front of humans, Yalong is nothing more than a raw material... It's a pity that I left in a hurry and didn't bring the magic dragon potion..."
He purchased six copies of the blood of the sub-dragon from the Knight's Monastery.
It was handed over to a pharmacy scholar to make. Before leaving, he successfully received six magic dragon potions and planned to cultivate Xiao Kabuto and Mimi after returning.
It's a pity that the fallen demon Miguel was chased here halfway.
He glanced at Kabuto. Kabuto was running up and down the tree, dodging the pebbles coming from the explosion. From time to time, he would release a level 1 arcane spell - Mud Armor, to withstand the splash damage of the pebbles. Rather than being unable to dodge, it was more It's like hitting him on his own initiative.
Hone your defenses.
"Little Kabuto is also making progress. Maybe he is also under pressure." A trace of distress arose in Duke's heart. This first-ring spirit beast was unwilling to be kept as a pet.
Snap.
Little Kabuto accidentally got hit by a rock fall, and was beaten so hard that he grinned and hurriedly ran behind Duke.
But Duke picked him up and threw him out: "Continue training, you loser!"
"Jiji!" Xiao Dou had a look of resentment on his face, but under Duke's high-pressure control, he could only turn around and fight. Cheer up and continue to invest in training yourself.
When Oak Spirit saw it, he didn't know what to say.
At this time, the ground not far away cracked, and a scavenger beetle that was much larger than an ordinary scavenger beetle came out.
The spikes on its back were sharper and shone with a faint cold light.
"Master, there is a suspected fifth-level scavenger beetle on the battlefield." Xiaoyi promptly reminded him, and on the Douqi holographic screen, he put on the suspected fifth-level scavenger beetle outside the red dot mark. A halo belonging to the boss.
"Fifth ring?" Duke's eyes narrowed.
Then he discovered the huge scavenger beetle marked by Xiao Yi as a boss. This big beetle stepped directly on the body of his weak companion and rushed towards the oak tree where he was.
"I've killed a lot of people in the 5th ring!"
Duke remained motionless. His arcane hand had already switched the second-ring sand eagle to an armor-piercing bullet, and added the effect of a tracking bullet.
Trigger pulled.
puff!
One shot went wild, and the armor-piercing bullet was like a beam of light, hitting the head of the 5-ring scavenger beetle.
This giant scavenger beetle obviously had far better perception than its smaller companions. In an instant, a layer of rock armor formed all over its body, and even its head was tightly wrapped.
but.
The next second, the armor-piercing bullet turned around and shot directly through the gap in the rock armor, leaving a small bullet hole.
Click, click, click.
The rock armor on the 5-ring scavenger beetle shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. When its head was exposed, the bullet holes were clearly visible and pus was flowing out.
"Hiss..." The scavenger beetle's body began to tremble.
puff!
There was another subtle gunshot, and a new round of armor-piercing bullets was shot out, tracing the same trajectory, drilling into the previous bullet hole, and then shooting out from another layer.
The head of the 5-ring scavenger beetle was completely penetrated.
The trembling body began to twitch, the arcane light condensed, and the entire land began to tremble and shake, and then deep ravines opened.
I don't know how many 3-ring scavenger beetles were hit by this powerful arcane spell, causing their shells to crack and their legs to break.
"3rd Ring Arcane - Earthquake Fissure." Xiaoyi reminded in real time.
Duke remained unmoved. The scope of the earthquake fissure did not affect his location. The arcane hand once again switched the bullets of the second-level sand eagle, and the shotgun was once again aimed at the nearby third-level scavenger beetle, making a roaring sound.
I saw that the surrounding area had been cleared.
Duke was still not satisfied, and his fighting spirit was gushing out. He ran "Duke Flying Feathers" and stretched out a pair of pure white wings.
Fly close to the ground, rush towards every scavenger beetle, and when it gets close, take it away with one shot.
However, during the passionate hunting, there was another huge vibration on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a scavenger beetle that was larger than a 5-ring scavenger slowly crawled out of the large hole. In addition to the sharp spikes all over its body, it even had sprouts on its head. The arcane light filled the horn-like spikes.
boom!
An arcane missile containing huge energy came straight towards Duke.
"Master, this scavenger beetle is suspected to have six rings." Xiaoyi marked this behemoth with a boss halo.
"Hit the younger one, here comes the older one." Duke responded calmly.
The wings behind him were constantly flapping, leading him to perform various maneuvers in the air to dodge the arcane missile attacks of the 6-ring scavenger beetle.
Then he saw another scavenger beetle of the same size crawling out from behind the six-ringed scavenger beetle.
There is no unicorn spike on the head, but there are curved thorns like horns.
"Master, this scavenger beetle is also suspected to have six rings... According to the comparison of body shape characteristics, the scavenger beetle on the left with a unicorn spike is male, and is tentatively named the unicorn king beetle; The scavenger beetle with curved horns is female, and its tentative name is the horned queen beetle." The
addition of the horned king bug and the horned queen bug immediately changed the battle situation in an unpredictable direction.
Not only that.
After the horned beetles crawled out, several more 5-ring scavenger beetles crawled out of the previous large hole.
"This is an outpouring of force!" Duke was not afraid.
When the wings turned into fighting spirit were flapping, they were filled with great pride and took over the second-ring sand eagle from the hand of arcane magic.
Hold it with both hands and lock on the one-horned king insect and the horned queen insect.
"I can't beat the Sinking Demon Miguel, and I can't beat you bugs!" A shot was fired, with an armor-piercing bullet and a tracking bullet, approaching directly towards the head of the One-Horned King Bug.
Snap!
Arcane light flashed past the spiked horn of the One-Horned King Insect, and then an earth elemental shield stood in front of it, directly blocking the armor-piercing bullets.
Couldn't penetrate.
The strength of the 6-ring spirit insect cannot be underestimated.
Duke flapped his wings, turned quickly in the air, dodged the attack of the horned beetle, and then took a look at the situation on the ground.
Based on Xiaoyi's judgment, he quickly changed the target: "First eliminate the 5-ring scavenger beetles, and then defeat the one-horned king bugs and horned queen beetles one by one."
Facing the six-ring spirit bugs, Duke needed to find weaknesses.
But facing the 5-ring spirit insect, violent output is enough.
With his wings flapping, Duke's firepower was fully activated, and he instantly cast illusion arcana spells to cover his actions. Then the sand eagle continuously attacked the 5-ring scavenger beetles. It only took a quarter of an hour to eliminate the 5-ring scavenger beetles one by one. Lose.
Without the 5-ring scavenger beetles surrounding him, the 3-ring scavenger beetles alone are no longer enough to protect the weaknesses of the two bosses.
"Cut the gun, disrupt the bomb!" Duke's thoughts flashed.
The Sand Eagle in his hand had already completed switching bullets. After pulling the trigger, the jamming bullets hit the One-Horned King Insect one after another like ghosts.
Even the interference intensity is only level 2.
It still caused a certain impact on the One-horned King Insect, causing it to start shaking its head involuntarily.
At this moment, Duke found a flaw, raised the Sand Eagle in his hand, and fired out a series of armor-piercing bullets in conjunction with the tracking projectiles.
The one-horned king insect had no time to react and was hit hard by the armor-piercing projectile at its mouthparts. The huge impact force directly smashed the mouthparts to pieces.
"Hiss!" Upon seeing this, the horned queen insect rushed over to protect the horned king insect.
Arcane light flashed on the tips of the two horns, and then bolts of lightning shot into the air, but were avoided by Duke's agile movements.
This is not Duke controlling "Duke Feiyu", it's Xiaoyi controlling it.
Using supercomputer to calculate the trajectory of lightning and reasonably arrange Duke's maneuvers, it is almost perfect.
"You're going to faint too!" Duke thought, quickly finished cutting the gun, pulled the trigger hard, and a series of jamming bullets hit the horned beetle.
Just like dealing with the One-Horned King Insect, switch to armor-piercing bullets and tracking bullets again, and in burst mode, dump them directly on the mouthparts of the One-Horned King Insect.
in this way.
The mouths of the two boss bosses were all smashed.
"It turns out that the defensive power of the 6-ring spirit beast is not enough for me." Duke was convinced after seeing the results of his battle.
The next thing that needs to be done is to use kite tactics to kill the two bosses.
"The ending has been decided!"
Half an hour later, the panting Duke slowly fell from the sky to the ground.
The ground in the rainforest has been pockmarked by arcane bombardment, and the ground is covered with the mutilated corpses of scavenger beetles.
If you search carefully on these corpses, you can find large and small bullet holes.
And on the ground not far away, two huge corpses fell together. They were the corpses of the One-horned King Insect and the Horned Queen Insect. Their corpses were just like the ground at the scene, full of pits and bullet holes, which was simply too horrible to look at.
After confirming that the two boss bosses were dead, Duke jumped on the corpse of the One-Horned King Insect, stood on the carapace and looked around the entire battlefield.
The breath has calmed down.
The oak spirit flapped its wings slightly and flew towards him.
Kabuto also jumped down from a big tree, stepped on the broken beetle corpses on the ground, and rushed all the way to stand at Duke's feet.
The oak people came running over from the oak fields in the distance with enthusiastic expressions.
In this situation, Duke couldn't help but raise the sand eagle in his hand, imitating the Western cowboy, and gently blew on the spiritual particles emerging from the muzzle.
He had already thought in his heart: "All martial arts in the world are invincible except speed!"
Although high-level spiritual beasts are powerful, as long as Sand Eagle's bullets are fast and strong enough, Duke can hunt them with confidence.
"Jiligulu!" Captain Batu Batu and his hunting team members knelt down one after another and worshiped Duke standing on the corpse of the One-horned King Insect.
"What are they talking about?" Duke asked.
Oak Spirit immediately translated: "They are thanking you, Lord God. My devout servant thanks you for coming. It was you who was invincible, killed all the scavenger beetles, and protected the oak fields. You are the eternal god of the Asiba tribe." Sir."
Duke raised his eyebrows.
The admiration of the Oak Man did not make him feel in high spirits, and his lofty ambitions quickly restrained.
He could see clearly that it was so difficult to hunt down even two sixth-level spirit insects. If he encountered a seventh-level spirit beast or even a higher level spirit beast, he would probably have only one option: escape.
"Oak Spirit, instruct the hunting team to collect materials from the corpses." Duke personally demonstrated how to select the most spiritual parts from the scavenger beetles.
I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the Seven Towers Federation in a short time.
He had to take precautions and collect a batch of spiritual materials for emergencies.
After receiving the information from Oak Spirit, Captain Batu Batu quickly led the oak people and got busy on the smelly battlefield.
Duke himself selected usable spiritual materials from the horned king bugs and horned queen bugs, and then collected the five-ring scavenger beetles. Then, with loads of loot, he walked along the previous route. road, back to the Asiba tribe.
"Jiligulu!" The high priest Abu Abu had already received the news. After seeing Duke, he knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground.
And spoke a lot of oak language.
"Abu Abu said that the fruit produced by the ancestor of the oak tree gave birth to the oak people, and you, the god, must have planted the ancestor of the oak tree. Therefore, you are the god of the oak people, and the oak people are yours. Servant."
Duke didn't bother to correct the statement.
He asked Oak Spirit to tell him: "I need a quiet tree house to rest. Don't come and disturb me without my instructions."
A fierce battle really consumed him a lot and he needed to recover in time.
At the same time, he also felt that the power in his body was changing rapidly. Not only the sea of qi was changing, but the sea of spirit was also changing.
"Lord God, High Priest Abu Abu, has re-cleaned his original tree house and cast oak spells to give the tree house a brand new look. You can live in this tree house and rest." Oak Spirit took Duke there. tree house.
"Oak spell?" Duke asked in surprise as he looked at the brand new tree house.
He had been to this tree house once before, and it was not that big. The interior space was now more than twice the previous size, and it had grown together with the oak tree, as if it was formed naturally.
"Among the oak people, there are a few oak people who can control the growth of oak trees, and so can I." Oak Spirit replied.
"Interesting." Duke said with great interest.
Then he said to the oak spirit: "Go and ask the high priest Abu Abu to find an oak man who can cast oak magic and an oak man warrior. I want to study the body of the oak man, especially where the strength of the oak man comes from. Come here."
After Duke finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the futon in the tree house, concentrating on regulating Sanhai's power.
"Huh."
"The sea of qi has grown again, and the rolling clouds are filled with the power of nature. Once I mobilize these powers, I am afraid that I can accelerate the growth of plants at will, and even transform the plants into spiritual plants." Duke first Feeling your own Qi sea.
After contracting the Oak Spirit, he was naturally promoted to the level 3 Great Elf Envoy.
This is the limit of Qihai cultivation. So far, there is no record of what the realm above the third-level Great Elf Envoy will be like.
Because the Great Elf is the ceiling of the elves.
"It's very subtle, but quite clear. The natural power of the sea of qi is seeping out little by little, nourishing my body." He felt carefully and could feel the influence of the sea of qi on his body. "Let my body always In the best condition, and... it can also extend your life."
Every time an arcane mage is promoted, his life span will be increased by decades or even hundreds of years.
Although the spiritual planter is not as powerful as the arcane mage, it can also slightly increase the life span. When promoted to a level 2 elf envoy, it is not a problem to add thirty years to one's lifespan; when promoted to a level three elf envoy, it is not a problem to add another eighty years to one's lifespan.
"I am a second-level arcane mage. It is not a problem to live to 150 years old. If I add in the 110 years of life increased by Qihai practice, I can live to 260 years old!" Duke smiled
.
A good life has just begun. He doesn't want to live a short life. The longer he lives, the better.
"Unfortunately, practicing in the Blood Sea will not increase your lifespan. The life span of a 2-level phantom beast knight and a 3-level advanced phantom beast knight is no different from that of ordinary people. At most, they can live to their full life if they are physically strong and free from illness and disaster. When the palace is sleeping."
As long as nothing happens to the knight, he can basically live to ninety or one hundred years old and enjoy his old age.
Feeling the benefits brought by the third-level elf envoy, Duke focused on the spiritual sea, and his thoughts instantly entered the spiritual sea.
As soon as he thought, he appeared next to the spiritual core.
Looking at the spiritual core at this moment, in Duke's eyes, the second layer of ring structure of the spiritual core was almost completely connected.
"The second level of cultivation is about to be completed, and the understanding of the spiritual arcana has reached a critical point." Duke's mind jumped to the spiritual core, and he could clearly see every energy line. With an indescribable logical beauty, the composition Ring.
But at the end of the ring, there's still a gap.
Spiritual particles gather here, but cannot fill the gap. This means that the understanding of spiritual arcana is still a little behind.
"But it should be soon. With such a strong spiritual feedback, I can break through to the third level of Arcane Mage even if I lie down and sleep for a few days!"
Duke admired the second ring that was about to close for a moment, then exited the spiritual sea with a smile.
Outside, the oak spirit has brought two young oak men, a man and a woman, knocking on the door and coming in: "Lord God, the oak man you want is here. Her name is Afi Afi, and she has mastered oak magic. His name is Xiku Xiku. , just joined the hunting team not long ago."
Duke smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to signal: "Sit down in front of me."
The oak spirit helped translate: "Jili Gulu..."
Two oak people, a man and a woman, who were like thin bamboo poles, were respectful and respectful. He sat down cross-legged carefully, lowering his head and not daring to look at Duke.
"Don't be afraid, just check your body." Duke said calmly.
Immediately, the arcane hand appeared, and then turned into countless transparent threads, piercing into Afi Afi's body.
