Volume 2 The Stars Chapter 27 The Name of the Blade
As we continued to advance through the dark mines, the sound of running water, which had been a little dull, began to become clearer and louder, and the inner walls of the mine became more moist.
Finally, after several narrow turns, a hall-like place appeared in front of the three of them. The dome is not low, and it is difficult to illuminate it completely with the faint torches, and the foot is a river that runs from shallow to deep.
The river is quiet, which is not the cause of the white noise.
Muen stepped forward and protected Chloe behind her, while Karna understood and walked cautiously towards the center of the river.
After a while, the water was already overflowing his knees, and he stood in place for ten minutes, shaking his head gently at Mu En. Mu En turned to Chloe with an inquiring look, and Chloe still shook her head.
"There is indeed a problem. Mu En glanced left and right, although he had always been more optimistic about the situation, but he would not be so optimistic that he didn't even want to think about it.
The current state is clearly particularly much like a dangerous situation - someone knows of their existence and wants to ambush them.
"Withdraw?" Karna looked in front of him and slowly retreated.
Muen looked at Chloe for her opinion, and Chloe agreed.
"Then I'm going to trouble you to open the range of Wind Breath to the maximum, let's quickly retreat to the cave entrance and rest again. ”
"No problem. ”
A soft, imperceptible breath of wind unfolded, and a few catkins and flying cherry blossoms rippled in the air.
Mu En and the others did not retreat at full speed, and with Wind Breath as a sentinel, they did not have to risk expending their mana to quickly leave the mine.
"I came to this ghost place and was scared for a long time, but it turned out to be two such small source stones, I feel a bit of a loss. Now that he could leave the place where he felt uncomfortable, Karna was happy again.
"It's okay, if the source stones of this size are in strings, they can be sold for a lot of money. In the magic guide, two uncarved source stones lay quietly in it, basically the same size as the one on Mu En's bracelet.
Ansu had already handed over the mother stone that had surveyed the student's location to Er Luoxun, and each of the Dao Protectors was hidden, and they couldn't find each other if they weren't close enough to each other.
This scene is very embarrassing, although the probability of encountering danger in this ghost place is too small, but with the character of Mu En and Karna, if they encounter danger, they must rush forward, otherwise normal people will choose to flee if they encounter evil magicians if their magic level is not in the advantageous situation.
The most worrying thing is that according to the known intelligence, these two little rabbit cubs have also separated from the big army, and this is not counting, they actually pulled the eldest lady of the wind courtyard, this is not what makes people bald.
He had no choice but to climb over the canopy and stab a shining thunderbolt into the sky to inform him of his location. The move paid off, and less than five minutes later, the breeze was piling up El Roxun's body in the canopy of another tree.
"Killed them all?" asked Al Roxun.
"No, there are still big and small, I heard that they are all in the jungle, so I came back. ”
After hearing this, the eldest son of Aioros silently threw the mother stone back to Ansu, and told him that Muen and his party had gone to the mine.
"If that's the case, I'm going to hurry to protect Chloe, and the kids bother the pilgrims to take care of me. ”
"What are you doing in the mines? There's nothing there. Ansu was puzzled by this choice, but did not object, and the figure left the place in an arc in the air to protect the five children.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to the mine, after all, what Adad said to him with a smile before leaving made him feel uncomfortable, and Muen's safety still has to be guaranteed as much as possible. It's just that going to the mine is not suitable for Ansu's play, the power of the thunder is too dangerous, if the technique is not corrected, it is likely to cause accidental injury to the students, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to both parties, as a Dharma protector teacher, you still need to protect the safety of the students as the highest criterion.
In the mine, someone picked up the seemingly harmless, but in fact sharpened petals, and crushed them silently, in such a subtle way that even the caster himself could not notice.
"Cheer up, someone's coming. He said hoarsely.
The two of them took off their hoods, and their eyes were the color of dead gray.
The invisible aura crept in, awakening the dormant things in the cave, and they opened their eyes as if to know that the one who was waiting had arrived.
At this time, Mu En and the others still did not notice the slightest abnormality.
The mourning pupils moved in the darkness, like ghosts, and as the distance between them approached, Chloe still didn't feel any breath, she didn't know that the joyful wind element was no longer what it was.
Suddenly, she fell to her knees, two smudges of black blood flowing from her nose.
"What's going on?!" Mu En's reaction was half a beat slower and he didn't hold Chloe up, he immediately turned around, and the three source stones had already slipped into his hand, and the magic began to surge in the circuit.
The spear glowed as red as a flame, and Karna only glanced back before entering the battle mode.
"How are you?" the imprint of the circle spilled from Bean's feet, and he now had to determine if Chloe was still self-conscious.
"I am infected by the forces of corruption. Chloe covered her mouth, and there were also blood snakes climbing out, she endured the discomfort from her body and chanted a spell, smashing the purifying power into her body and vomiting a large mouthful of blood, and finally forcing the corrupting power out of her body, "They must be within our two hundred meters, and they are much stronger than us." ”
At this moment, around the corner in front of them, two withered figures came out, cloaked outside, but the faintly visible red and white eagle lining indicated that they had once belonged to the first line of defense of the Empire, the Hawkeye Sentinel.
Karna could clearly feel the difference in the strength of the circuits of the two sorcerers, and it was thought that one of them was the deputy commander of the outpost.
Swallowing nervously, Karna didn't forget to tease Mu En: "Your luck is really not covered." When I go out on an adventure with you, I'll call you Dad. ”
"Then there will be a future. The command room smiled hoarsely, with a strange pathos in it, as if it was too difficult to kill the three people in front of him.
The two Source Stones were thrown into the circle by Muen, and he turned around and pulled Chloe behind him.
"Take control, Chloe, Karna, kill the one who doesn't talk and then retreat immediately!" Silvery magic with a translucent texture came out of the circle, and the air seemed to be glued together by the magic. Then, several runes were knocked out by Mu'en, allowing them to grab the magic of the source stone, and then float to Karna's side along the trail of being towed.
The conductor smiled nonchalantly, not believing that the children could kill any of them, "Courage is ......"
But before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened with shock.
The thunder spear that was stronger than his full force burst into the air, and the urgently raised magic barrier was effortlessly pierced, although it was not facing himself, but the magic guide used to protect himself on his body still opened on its own...... But it's still like a mantis arm as a car.
The man watched in a daze as the thunderous spear flew backwards with his companion and was nailed to the giant god tree.
Even in the face of the hardness of the giant god wood, the spear still did not enter half of the body, and the residual thunder still stimulated the charred black corpse above to twitch from time to time.
If this gun is facing you......
The sorcerer has a cold sweat hanging down, and he may not die, but he may also lose all his ability to resist.
Muen let the rune release its magic and pull Karna backwards, and Karna grabbed the magic in the rune and pulled the gun out, but unfortunately, the giant wood was too hard for Karna to grab it out.
"Full recovery. Mu En didn't bring the three magic guides given by his senior brother on this trip, but put them in the academy, after all, the academy Dabi is not allowed to use such props that disrupt the balance.
"These runes are the reason why you can use everything through? Karna didn't recognize the circle in front of him, but since Muen let himself quickly quit, it meant that it was not something that would make people happy, and the runes that emitted a faint blue light around him made him feel magical, and he thought it was the arcane emblem that Muen himself had come up with.
What Bloom can bring to possession is to a large extent to remove the restrictions of the body, in fact, not only in terms of mana output, but also in terms of physical strength, as long as Karna is willing, he can even throw an incredible punch at the cost of broken muscles and bones.
On the other hand, being able to output mana to the maximum extent can also absorb mana faster, but this versatility is relatively small, after all, when there is a magic pressure blockade, it is difficult for people to absorb mana, unless there is a talent called 'siphon'.
Most of the Hawkeye sentinels were warriors, so he was only stunned for a moment before he started to chase after him, but it was at this moment that Karna was out of the circle of the circle.
The moment he entered the circle, the circle was fully activated, and the space was solidified, crystal clear and delicate, and the three of them were also rapidly retreating.
"Hurry up, this space ban can't stop him for long. ”
"Why don't you kill him here?" Karna asked.
"I don't have that ability, I didn't know what Chloe's situation was before, but I drew a more defensive magic circle, plus condensing runes, and now there is not much magic left. ”
Karna was visibly disappointed, and he turned to look at Chloe as if hoping that Chloe would remain lethal.
But Chloe also shook her head, saying that if she had more magic power, she wouldn't be able to be countered by such an easy breakthrough circuit defense.
"Damn, isn't that going to be explained here?" Karna's mentality changed slightly.
"So you hurry up and recover, and there is still room for him to be stabbed to death later. ”
"You're looking too highly of me, are you digging out the treasure?" Karna said that he was not a god either, how could he recover so quickly, and recklessly absorbing magic could easily lead to the circuit breaking.
"How can there be a baby, my baby has not been brought. With that, both of them turned their heads to look at Chloe with hopeful eyes.
"I ......" Chloe was a little vague.
"Eldest sister, don't hide it at this time, your life matters. Karna wailed.
"My magic guide will blow up the mine and collapse it, and we'll all die. ”
"It's okay, we can wait for rescue. Karna said.
"No, this place is deep underground, even if the Magus wants to, we will have to fight for at least half a month day and night, we don't have food reserves, and if we can't hold them out, we will starve to death here." Mu En denied.
After a while, the three of them returned to the underground river hall.
After a period of recovery, the mana of all three of them had recovered to about sixty percent, but it was obviously not enough to kill the sorcerer.
"Something is wrong, it smells a little fishy. Chloe frowned, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the original fresh breath had a fish-like smell.
"No matter how much it is, hurry up and find a place to hide first, at least die slowly. Karna was still telling bad jokes, but he was more nervous than anyone else.
"Going down the river, maybe we'll find a lower waterfall and escape into the sinkhole. Mu En's brain was still very clear, but in fact, he felt that everything in front of him was blurry now, and drawing a spatial forbidden circle had undoubtedly consumed all his energy, and he was now at the end of his crossbow.
The terrain gradually decreases, and the fishy smell becomes stronger and stronger as small underground waterfalls appear.
Suddenly, on the rocks beside the river, they found heavily rotted fish.
"It's not that there are no creatures here, what is that......" Karna was trying to analyze the current situation, when a terrible and strange cry echoed from the end of the darkness.
Suddenly, the huge eyes absorbed the light from the torch and turned into a bright yellow color, and then opened the valve, countless pairs of eyes lit up from the darkness, and Chloe took a few steps back with a scream, which made the hunters who followed him excited.
"The Deep Sea Clan. Mu En knelt down in the water, he could feel that he was about to faint, there were pursuers in front and interception in the back, it seemed that he was going to confess here today.
"Your luck is really not covered. Karna sighed appointedly, tears welling up from the corners of his eyes.
This time is different from the last time, there is no need to face despair so directly in the Yellow Springs Secret Realm, it will just torture people to madness.
But now, it's a real desperate situation, and the feeling of powerlessness is as real as the shattered bones in the body.
My brother can't go home...... He didn't weep out of cowardice, and Karna never cried for himself.
It's just - since his father died due to a dispute and his mother was disabled, he was the only pillar of the family, and his mother handed over all his father's inheritance to himself for his own education, just so that one day he could become a person who stood up to the sky and the earth to support the family.
But it seems...... Here he had to fulfill all his promises, no new toys, no abundant food and clothing, no big house, no servant to look after his mother, not even the brother who made his younger siblings proud.
Thinking of this, this young man, who always seemed to have a sunny smile forever, buried his head in the water so that his crying would not be so ugly.
At the same time, cherry willows galloped into the mine with the wind.
Er Roxun felt his little princess's abrupt Fan move forward and stopped somewhere, which must have been in big trouble, and he only prayed for now to find her before the stone shattered.
In the distance, Ansu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, constantly taking deep breaths, and several times he almost couldn't hold back the body he wanted to attack.
Then you don't have to press it anymore!
"Before I got to the last step, I heard the sound of the water!" Chloe remained awake, keenly aware of the change in the wind, and that the river would merge into another, more turbulent river beneath her feet.
Karna roared angrily, only to see him stand up from the water, and his face was bruised.
"Muen!" Karna pulled out Muen's long sword and gritted his teeth across his chest, "I'll start a battle for you! You must give Lao Tzu a life!" He lifted the collar of Muen, who was already fainting, with his right hand and began to run through the water, calling out his magic to release thunder and lightning thorns in the direction of the water.
The sorcerer smiled and fell to the ground, and now it can be said that he is indeed nine times out of ten.
But the world is always telling us that the boy who loves to laugh may not have good luck either.
The Wind Blade erupted, and a scarlet burst in the center, and a massive explosion shook the Sorcerer's feet and the rocks above him, burying him alive.
The Deep Sea Clan was stunned by the power for a moment, and then they swarmed out like a command, and Karna fought and retreated, leaving Muon to Chloe after the explosion.
"Live!" Karna yelled as he turned to Muen, who was about to fall asleep.
At this moment, his face was already full of tears.
It seems that I have no chance to apologize to you, but I also want to tell you that I did not believe in the wrong person.
It's just that...... Remember to do me a little favor, my younger siblings are still young, so please leave it to you!
"Hurry up, you want to die with me?!" Seeing Chloe still looking at her, Karna was almost furious.
"Then you ......"
"Who am I? I'm a warrior of Atlantis!"
Muen struggled to his feet, and finally muttered Karna's name, using the last of his clarity to light up the light of the spell, and in the darkness, Karna's figure looked so holy.
After doing what he was able to do as his last best friend, Mu En's eyes went dark, and he fell into the turbulence and disappeared into the Sumeru.
Chloe choked and burst into tears, but gritted her teeth under Karna's angry gaze and jumped into the river.
Seeing them leave, Karna finally smiled with relief and turned his head to the dozens of deep sea tribes and walked backwards.
The spear made of trees pierced his abdomen after he had killed the first disgusting creatures, and there was an irrepressible upwelling of a fishy sweetness.
The blood returned to the throat, strong as wine, and the thoughts were like hooks.
Eventually, he spread the dark green blood of the Deep Sea Clan all over the river, fell to his knees, and slowly lost consciousness......
I could die, but I would never make the same mistake twice.
Mu Enna, when you compose your own epic, don't forget......
My name.
