Chapter 547: Usage of the Qi Element
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although the Fallen are despicable, their strength should not be underestimated, and generally speaking, after the Fall, their strength will be greatly improved by the dark forces. However, this kind of boost is like taking a stimulant, and it is also a highly addictive stimulant with great side effects. It's like an addict who has been addicted to drugs will sell out a qiē and satisfy his ** for drugs at any cost. The Fallen have a strong addiction to the powers of hell, and if they are not satisfied, they and their souls will suffer terrible suffering. This is also the key reason why they do evil things only to please the will of hell, and the deepest degenerates of demons are actually no different from demons, for them, human flesh and blood are the nourishment of the body, and human suffering is the nourishment of the soul.
Under the effect of "stimulants", their vitality, explosive power, and killing spirit have multiplied. Under the baptism of close-range artillery fire in Luo Gandao, which was enough to beat a group of adult aliens into honeycomb coal in a matter of seconds, these more than ten people were actually injured but not killed except for two unlucky ghosts who were skulled. And in the blink of an eye, they bounce and scatter, or jump into the corner, or jump up in the air and jump on the wall, or actually prostrate themselves on the top with their limbs upside down, so as to minimize the possibility of their own blows. Several of the stronger of them dodged while shouting wildcat-like screaming spells, shooting dark red waves of negative energy from their fingers towards Rogandao.
And the strongest leader of the Fallen directly abandoned his armor and weapons, and rushed straight to Luo Gandao in a demonic form against the baptism of artillery fire, the evil of the form, and wanted to devour it alive.
And Luo Gandao had already covered his helmet at the same time as he swung his gun, and entered the state of all-round mecha formation. A few rays of negative energy from the fallen shot on the Longlin mecha, only causing a series of magic pattern fluctuations, and most of the power was resisted, and the little remnants that penetrated into it could no longer have much impact on him in the innate realm. It seems that during this time, the Longlin mecha has completed the most preliminary enchantment.
Immediately after that, there was a bang-thump. More than a dozen degenerates who pounced on Rogandao and the food production equipment behind him from all angles crashed into an invisible wall of copper almost simultaneously, and were all shaken back in a loud roar similar to that of Huang Zhongdalu. Because they rushed too fast and too hard, the force of the shock was also extremely huge. The incident happened suddenly, and they did not take effective protective measures, and as a result, they hit one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, and gold stars in their eyes.
"You're killing yourself!" said Rogandau, stopping his strafing and reiterating in a well-rounded tone. "Obediently restraining your hands is your only chance!"
"Get out of the way, let me come!"
The leader, who had withstood most of the artillery fire, rushed slowly and did not hit the invisible wall. Realizing that the other party must have used some kind of force field-type protective wall, he immediately took a deep breath, and then his big mouth full of fangs opened up, and a turbid green color appeared. Flames with a strong stench actually erupted from its mouth!
Any wall formed with mana will disappear after taking more than the upper limit of attacks. The leader's wishful thinking was good, but unfortunately, the moment the vicious and corrosive flames touched the invisible wall, a deafening explosion rang out!
With a halo of aurora light, the invisible wall instantly turned into tangible liquid ripples, tumbling violently, striking the leader and all the fallen like the waves of a hurricane. It is unstoppable as thunder. It seems to lift, shred, and destroy all the objects that stand in its way. What is even more terrifying is that the explosion of the invisible wall leads to another, more deadly chain of explosions - and the bomb of martyrdom is the body of the fallen itself!
The violent explosion from the inside out, first blew up the lungs of the degenerate, blew off their internal organs, eyes, tongues, eardrums, and then the two huge forces inside and outside converged and strangled together, turning their originally strong bodies into scraps of paper in a Category 10 hurricane......
In contrast to the horrific experience of the Fallen, this side of Rogandau was largely untouched by the explosion, and several invisible walls of vacuum and dense air effectively isolated and prevented the blast from spreading to his side.
"It's really gone, I thought I could keep a few alive?" Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, Luo Gandao shook his head regretfully.
"Nope. There is a live mouth. With these words, Wang Xia walked out of a corner not far behind Luo Gandao, and pointed to the few degenerates who were unconscious in the pool of blood, but their bodies were still intact, and said, "These people did not inhale gas explosives but only anesthetic gas, so they are not dead." ”
"Actually, I don't think I'm needed here. You alone can do it. Rogan said with a shrug.
"There are also some hands and tails, the flesh and blood of the fallen have the power of hell, and they must not be allowed to contaminate the equipment here. After Wang Xia finished speaking, he began to gather his spirit, and the black smoke from the burning black smoke on the body of the degenerate who was blown apart began to billowing and condensing. Condensed into several pale black cloud-like figures—the upper body slightly resembled the outline of a strong man, and the lower body looked like a dense smoke. As each of these figures slipped into the sewer and fled, the air that had been full of scorching smell suddenly cleared.
This is the Qi element, a kind of spirit creature that condenses the body and virtual soul with a special magic force field.
Similar methods are used by both elemental mages and necromancers, such as the "Nine-Headed Fire Serpent" of the elemental mage, the "Clay Stone Demon" and "Flame Stone Demon" of the necromancer, but the emphasis is different. Elemental mages use their skillful and ingenious elemental control methods to fabricate and simulate life forms from the elements. Similar to the machine qì people, and set some basic reflexes for the machine qì people to be able to distinguish between friend and foe, attack and defense, the difference is that they use elements as raw materials to make machine qì people, so the essence is still dead things. Necromancers, on the other hand, give life to originally inanimate elements by distorting the boundaries of life and death and possessing souls, although the time of existence is limited, but it is enough to be called real life. As for summoning elemental monsters, it's a completely different method.
However, in the elemental life, the most commonly used by mages is the fire element, which is highly lethal, and the powerful earth element, followed by the ice element, the water element, and the air element, except for being used for reconnaissance, it is not very useful on the battlefield.
Wang Xia had already upgraded to an A-level "Qi Elemental Dominator" with Huàn, and he had an extremely strong talent for controlling the atmosphere, and his cultivation of divine thoughts had also reached the point of divine thought differentiation. As long as he mastered the essentials, it would not be difficult for him to create qi elements, and if he was not limited in size and strength, he could make dozens or hundreds of them at any time. The smaller the size of the qi element, the weaker the power of the elemental, the weaker the accompanying magic fluctuations, and the lower the possibility of being revealed.
Although in the eyes of ordinary magicians. This kind of crude qi element is essentially just a humanoid qi mass with low intelligence that has no lethality at all, and it is difficult for people to feel it even after contact. However, for Wang Xia, there is no problem at all in terms of lethality, because he uses various types of gas explosives and combustion gases to make gas elements!
This type of gas element. It becomes a colorless, smellless, almost imperceptible "air thunder" suspended in the air, moving freely with Wang Xia's will, or acting autonomously according to Wang Xia's instincts, automatically floating to the target within a certain range without attracting attention, which can be ignited and detonated by the mixed reaction of two gas elements, or it can explode close to the body as the body temperature of the attached object rises. It can even cover the target's mouth and nose, causing them to inhale the lungs unconsciously, blend into the arteries, and become a suicide bomb that can detonate from the inside at any time and spontaneously combust.
The gas element is stored for a limited time, and even if there is no external interference, it will be completely dissolved in the atmosphere for a day and night at most. However, for Wang Xia, this is enough to achieve air "mine-laying" in a certain area. The previous group of degenerates infiltrated here, and basically inhaled "air thunder" along the way, which is why Luo Gandao said that they were "dead". Originally, the leader of the depraved was not inferior to the alien queen in terms of body and vitality. High-explosive bombs are not enough to kill in one or two hits, but in the face of a heart-wrenching explosion from the inside out, it is still impossible to die at once.
In addition, Wang Xia also mastered a kind of qi protection magic in the dark world, which is a means of condensing air to form a shield, mainly used to resist attacks such as sound waves and shock waves. Originally, it wasn't too high-level magic shield. However, he combined his abilities with his extensive knowledge of explosives, combining a special magical field with a special gas to solidify and then melt the air. Wang Xia usually turns this specially treated metallized gas into walls and obstacles used to restrain and restrain opponents, and can also use it as a gas element weapon when necessary.
The structurally metalized air is not only more solid and indestructible. Moreover, it has high-explosive properties similar to metallic hydrogen, and several times more than TnT explosives. It can be detonated when Wang Xia releases the binding force field, or it can be detonated by being forcibly broken by an external force. Depending on the order in which the force field is disarmed, or the direction in which the force is applied, this detonation can also achieve a directional blast, ensuring that most of the power is concentrated on the opponent. If you add the X-gene ability that leads to the fission and fusion of a small amount of air molecules, then even Zheng Zhe would never want to be involved in a series of explosions carefully arranged by Wang Xia.
Under the combination of all kinds of unheard of methods of characters in the dark world, even if there is no shortage of elite-level figures in this group of invading degenerates, and the leader has quasi-master-level strength after his demonic transformation, he will still be wiped out at once. On the contrary, it seems that Luo Gandao, who is specially matched to make up for Wang Xia's lack of melee combat, is a little redundant.
………………………………………………
"It's a sensational rumor, although I'm a little tired of hearing these kinds of rumors these days. Listening to the words of the head of the Holy Knights, Retsas, Zheng Zha replied indifferently, as if he was just chatting with the other party about some roadside gossip, "These days, we have arrested hundreds of people who have spread all kinds of bizarre and imaginative rumors in and around Camp Rog. Among these people, there are even nobles and even clergy. Not long ago, even Archbishop Lazarus was proven to be depraved, and before he was exposed, he managed to coax a large group of innocent people into the dungeon to become bait for the monsters. In other words, even if a respected bishop tells you something, you will not be able to believe it all. ”
"Hehe, of course I don't take things lightly that lack exact credentials to substantiate them. Ratsas shook his head, paused, and then added meaningfully, "Yet I will not dismiss what has no solid reason to overturn. Regarding the revocation of the Holy Light for many days at Camp Rog, I hope you will give me a reasonable explanation. ”
"Of course there is no problem. Zheng Zha nodded and replied, "Because we have other effective means to replace the Holy Light defense, and Sister Akara is taking this opportunity to store as much Holy Light as possible, preparing a strong enough 'Heavenly Hammer' to destroy Andariel entrenched in the underground of the monastery in one fell swoop." Everyone in the Rog camp knew this, so they weren't alarmed by the revocation of the Light......"
Just chatting "cordially" all the way, Zheng Zha soon welcomed the paladins and his group of twelve into the stronghold built by the Central Continent team. Separated from ordinary civilians.
"Storing enough Holy Light to use a strong enough 'Hammer of Heaven' to kill Andariel is a good explanation that can be used to calm the hearts of the people. When there were no civilians but some professionals, Retsas bluntly questioned himself: "However, this tactic is limited to a radius of fifty miles unless Andariel himself descends on Camp Rog. Otherwise, there is no possibility of realization. After all, the power of the Hammer of Heaven diminishes with the distance of the strike, and if Andariel remains hiding in the depths of Tristram's monastery, even the hammer of Heaven with its maximum power will not be enough to pose a threat to her.
The greatest effect of the 'Hammer of Heaven' has always been not to directly attack the Demon Lord of Hell, but to target the dense and large-scale army of Hell. And it is not wise to blindly increase the energy contained in the 'Hammer of Heaven', according to past experience. Even if the Holy Light energy contained in the 'Hammer of Heaven' increased tenfold, the killing radius would only increase by about double. Moreover, the more powerful the 'Hammer of Heaven' contains energy, the slower it moves, and the greater the load on the mover. With Sister Acala's sagacity, I find it hard to believe that she would resort to such an impossible and costly tactic. So, I wish there was a better explanation. ”
"This ...... The real reason is not so simple. However, the specific situation is really difficult to explain. In other words, it is a core military secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose it. Zheng Zha scratched his head and said helplessly: "I can only say that this is indeed a necessary step to defeat Andariel, as for whether you believe it or not, we believe it anyway." ”
For Zheng Zhe's answer, the paladin was obviously very dissatisfied. So he frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to Kashya, who was the captain of the Rog archers.
Kashya just shook her head coldly and said, "Sister Akara has indeed identified this man as the guardian of Camp Rog, so I follow his arrangement. As for the rest, I don't know anything!"
"I want to see Sister Akara as much as I can. After a moment of silence, the paladin made a request.
"I'm afraid not, Sister Akara is now at a critical stage where she can't be interfered with from outside. Zheng Zha decisively refused, and now the holy light condensed by Akara was extremely huge. Just to maintain this powerful force, she needs to pray and meditate with her "blind eye" nuns day and night, in a state that cannot be disturbed or interrupted. Again. Today's Rog camp is actually equivalent to his territory, and there is no need for him to blindly meet the requirements of the paladin, lest he really let this guy with the aura of the protagonist take over the scene.
After a pause, Zheng Zha said in a slightly soothing tone: "Anyway, the final result is only in these three or four days, if you can wait patiently, you can definitely wait for a satisfactory result." ”
"But if there is any conspiracy behind this, it may only take three or four more days to move. That's why we left the Legion behind to get here first. The paladin shook his head slowly: "There is a saying in the Holy Book that says, 'The holy light is everywhere, and the darkness retreats', on the contrary, if the holy light does not exist, evil will inevitably breed." After all, the safety of hundreds of thousands of people is at stake, and until I meet Sister Akara, I beg my forgiveness for not being able to fully trust a camp that has been deprived of the Holy Light for three days, and a powerful and mysterious guardian of unknown origin. ”
"Hehe......" Zheng Zha began to sneer, although the paladin's tone had remained gentle, but that style and attitude still made him feel uncomfortable, so he immediately sneered: "Although you are indeed highly respected and world-famous compared to me, you should not forget that your country and the people of this land were still in a state of war not long ago. From your standpoint, it is really inappropriate to interfere too much with our actions. Moreover, as I mentioned before, even Archbishop Lazarus, who was only under the position of the Kui Heigang (Pope) of Sakaram, could fall. How can you put yourself in a position where you are absolutely unchallenged to arbitrate?"
"I just wish I could see Sister Akara as much as I can......" Retesas said in a deep voice, his firm tone fully indicating his insistence, "I can only say that I am sorry if there are any unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings caused by this." ”
Zheng Zha's tone also did not loosen in the slightest: "If you insist repeatedly, I can only try to stop it as much as I can." ”
"Are you trying to stop two legends at the same time?" said Infiniti, the queen of the Amazons, coldly, as if soft metal were colliding, although crisp and pleasant. But every word is like an arrow, and the edge is exposed.
"If two legends need to join forces to deal with it, I'm very honored!" Zheng Zha sneered, although he didn't make any moves, but the fierce sword qi belonging to the tiger spirit had begun to brew on him, ready to go.
Time. The smell of gunpowder on both sides is getting stronger, and the shape is just a touch!
In contrast to the awe-inspiring demeanor of the paladin team, standing on Zheng Zhe's side, most of the adventurers hired by the Central Continent team showed hesitation and hesitation.
This hesitation is not only because of the powerful force of this legendary paladin and his core team, but also because this paladin has always shown his strength. Near-flawless nobility. Whether it is justice, honor, sacrifice, valor, or humility, mercy, honesty, and spirituality, there is nothing to blame for what this perfect paladin has done. Such a person, even if you are hostile to him, you have to respect him and trust him. In contrast, Zheng Zhe and others, who rise like meteors and have unknown origins, are prone to arouse suspicion, especially for their mysterious and strange behaviors, magic, martial arts, and items. It often makes adventurers amazed, envious, and sought after while inevitably muttering in their hearts. Now the doubts expressed by the paladin are actually the doubts in the hearts of many people, and before they have done it, many people present are psychologically more inclined to the side of the paladin.
"Employing force in everything is definitely the most foolish thing to do!" At this moment, an old, gentle, and full of neutral and penetrating voice suddenly came, diluting the originally tense atmosphere.
"It turned out to be the Sage of Kane. Retsas looked stunned when he heard this. Join all the paladins in a fist salute to the newly arrived Decca Kane.
Despite his powerlessness, Deca Kane, known for his profound knowledge and determination to fight evil to the end, was barely as famous as Retsas and became famous even earlier. In a strong team of adventurers, such a jack-of-all-trades can play a role even more than a legendary force!
"If the esteemed paladins had come a few days earlier and witnessed the changes that had taken place in Camp Rogue, you would have understood why Sister Akara had chosen them as Guardians. Kane was still in the form of an old man with a slight bow. But the spirit is surprisingly strong, and the voice is exceptionally loud and infectious.
"Five days ago, the entire Rog camp was still in a state of famine, fear, and food was scarce. Every day, thousands of people fall forever due to hunger, plague, and riots. The evil caverns of corpse fire spread all around the ground, besieging us to the death in the camp, and the Light became more and more diminished and crumbling due to the despair and panic of the people......"
At this point, Kane sighed, "Only after these days can you feel the preciousness of this qiē that the new Guardian has brought to us. Even if you haven't experienced this qiē, you might as well take a patient tour of the town and take a closer look at the incredible new workshops, hospitals, equipment, and all kinds of new weapons and new ways of fighting...... Today's Rog Camp has not only completely bid farewell to famine and fear, but is also becoming more civilized and powerful day by day.
Yes, the trusted Guardians do come from a near-isolated country on the edge of the world, but that doesn't stop them from exhibiting a highly advanced civilization. If you can let go of unnecessary guards, you can communicate with them deeply. You will find that this civilization, which is full of art and philosophy, and focuses on reason and balance, can never have anything to do with the hell that worships evil and chaos. Even if you give hell 10,000 years, those ugly monsters will never be able to show this civilization, let alone spread it to us. This is my solemn reference to you from the perspective of a scholar. ”
"Now that you have made a promise, Sage Kane, I retract my previous insistence. "But I still hope that during the period before meeting Sister Acala, my team and I will have the right to move freely in and around Camp Rogue, so that we can make some necessary observations and surveillance. ”
"It seems that you are not completely relieved. Kane sighed with some regret.
"I do have reservations about what you say. Retsas nodded, "You know, evil is cunning. It does not hesitate to empower and civilize even when necessary. Just like the Three Demon Gods once established the 'Trinity Church' in this world in the name of 'love, determination, and creation', which is completely contrary to its essence. They also once gave the two brothers Herasen and Bartek of the Fessgeri tribe unsurpassed power. Among the Seven Demon Gods, there is also Beria, the king of lies, who does not allow us to be careless. ”
"I beg your pardon for not being able to accede to this request. Zheng Zha sneered, since the other party was still stubborn, he also did not intend to show mercy. "Although we are now in the same trenches due to the invasion of Hell, our realm is still a potential adversary. All the new magic arrays, workshops, equipment, weapons, and new training methods in this town are now military secrets, and there is no reason to disclose them to you casually! I will not promise to grant you any privileges in Camp Rog, and of course, I will not deliberately restrict your departure. ”
"I don't think it's necessary for us to follow the rules you've made!" Although the female mage Feng Shaladi was petite, she did not show weakness in her words. Between words. A huge amount of magical energy had begun to flicker in the purple-gold orb staff in her hand, making it look like a neon light in her hand.
"I think it's better for you to obey, because it doesn't do you any good not to obey. Zheng Zha's smile had already begun to become a little hideous, "Maybe you think that the legendary powerhouse is amazing, but the strength and weakness are relative. Here, you don't have the qualifications to disobey the rules!"
"Does that mean the strong make the rules?" said Infinetti coldly, "and that's fine." I hope that reality will sober you up a bit. ”
"What a dynamic young man. Kane, who failed to mediate, shook his head and sighed helplessly, "But I don't think you're thinking about the implosion of the legendary battle in Camp Rog, do you? ”
"I know, so I want to try to be as restrained as possible, to be able to decide each other's strengths and weaknesses. In order to avoid panic among the people, it is better to control the process of not alarming the civilians. The paladin also sighed helplessly, although he wanted to solve the problem peacefully, but many times. But he always had to speak with his fists.
"Anyway, we have to have a competition, just say no? So, is it a team competition that is a point to the point right away, or a ring match that is best-of-three or best-of-five?" Zheng Zha smiled slightly mockingly, the dark world is essentially a world where strength is supreme. Sitting on two legendary powerhouses. and the two quasi-legendary paladin teams were originally worthy of the attention and even worship of any force. Coupled with the high prestige and charisma of Retsas himself, if it weren't for the Middle-earth team arriving first, Camp Rog would have really enshrined him as a savior without hesitation. Even at the moment, if he can't show the strength to overwhelm the other party. It's really hard to guarantee that you will continue to dominate.
"It's hard to keep the battle out of control in a team confrontation, and even if I'm with Infinetti, the fighting style is more offensive and doesn't seem to be very suitable for ......" Unexpectedly, Retsas quickly denied the team battle that was obviously beneficial to him, and even denied the appearance of his two legendary powerhouses.
"What do you mean?" asked Zheng Zhe with a frown.
"The regiment commander is an offensive aura, and it is difficult to control and not kill the opponent in battle. Lamborini, the deputy head of the regiment, who had not spoken, suddenly responded, "And I am a defensive aura, so I will compete with Your Excellency next." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to be a legend yet......" Zheng asked thoughtfully.
"So, I can't be a mortal threat to you. This is the best way to control the scale of the battle and prevent accidents. Lamborini's expression is cold and tranquil, calm and calm, this is a kind of calm and calmness that thousands of people have been looking forward to!
"Salute to you!" staring at his opponent, Zheng Zha's face also became solemn, he first took the tiger spirit in his hand, and said, "That's good, I won't take advantage of you." Let's try a move, and if I can't repel you in one move, I'll lose! If I lose, I won't interfere with your actions in and around Rog's camp. Otherwise, please leave automatically or choose to follow the rules. ”
"Then it's a deal!"
For such an agreement, both parties expressed their acceptance. On the one hand, Lambreni is not a legend after all, and he is not good at defending or attacking, so it is impossible to pose a mortal threat to Zheng Zha, who has clearly expressed his legendary level strength. On the other hand, the paladin's side also seems to be confident enough in Lamborini's defensive ability, believing that even a legendary powerhouse will not be able to repel or defeat one of them.
So, the two sides quickly came to the newly repaired wide training ground, and each stood relatively still, calm, ready to divide the victory and defeat in one blow!
