Meteoric beasts

Darko and Otto hurried between the signs. Sometimes after one sign has been teleported, another sign will appear not far away. More often than not, the signposts would point to several other distant directions, and Dakko and the duo would have to travel for an hour or two to reach the other sign.

These road signs are roughly divided into several different styles, which correspond to the architectural styles of several different races, and the road signs established by the same race also have some differences, obviously with the personal style of the corresponding strong people.

Generally speaking, the road signs established by the demons are relatively regular and rigorous in appearance. The square stone platform, the inscriptions of the calibrated coordinates are located on the four corners, and the fixed spatial cracks are also relatively regular and stable cracks. The Demon Clan's road sign teleportation process is the smoothest and the fastest.

The road signs set up by the Terrans are much more arbitrary. It is usually an irregularly shaped meteorite, but simply leveling the four corresponding positions and copying the inscription can also serve as a signpost. It's just that the appearance is relatively rough, and there is not even a flat space that is convenient for standing.

As for the road signs of the 'spirit' spirit clan, the shape is also irregular, but it is full of a strong sense of art. Some of them look like crosses with lines, and some of them look like several short knives spliced together. What's more, the entire signpost is constructed in the shape of a house, and the four positioning inscriptions are located on the four walls of the room.

"The 'elvenous' spirit clan is too advocating aesthetics and art, so much so that they have done too much flashy work, and even the shields and armor have to be carved with 'flower' patterns, and of course the defense is lowered. Therefore, there are only a few million 'spirit' spirit races left in the Ameixia plane, and they are all under the protection of the god of life to survive. ”

Otto commented, and Darko agreed with this statement, he had also seen all kinds of equipment of the 'elf' spirit clan at the magic 'exchange' meeting at the magic academy and on the black market in the Mercury plane. The equipment is a work of art of great beauty, but the actual function is much worse. For example, only a small part of the inscription on a shield that is supposed to be of the 'fine' rank is for defensive purposes, and the rest is for the purpose of increasing the light and visual effect of the equipment. Coupled with the hollowing carved by the art masters of the 'Fine' Spirit Clan, the actual function of the 'Fine' grade shield was reduced to the ordinary level, and due to its artistic 'nature', it was marked with a price equivalent to that of the Excellence-level equipment. This is also the reason why the products of the 'elf' spirit race are not all welcomed among the human race, with the exception of art and 'sex' slaves, of course.

On a certain road sign, Darko even found the totemic-style pattern texture configuration he was familiar with, and he was sure that it was definitely a pattern that only existed on the totem of the beast clan. It is also an inscription, but the records of the human race, the 'spirit' spirit race, and the beast race are all different, probably adding their own understanding to it. Maybe that inscription is no longer recognizable to the demons, but it can play a corresponding role.

Otto saw Darko's confusion and explained to him, "This should be a signpost left by the orc powerhouse. ”

"Orc powerhouse?" Darko was a little shocked. In his eyes, the beasts were all those who encountered in the Warcraft Mountain Range with ordinary combat effectiveness and low IQ. The fixed cognition in his mind contrasted sharply with the road signs in front of him, giving him a sense of unreality. Darko is very entangled, if there is such a strong person in the beast clan, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, right?

"Probably before the demon race was exterminated, the beast race at that time represented the pinnacle of the plane's martial arts, and naturally there were also beast powerhouses who had reached the holy level. Otto quickly gave Darko an answer, "But after that, the power of the human race expanded, and the human alliance led by the five major powers was established, and the living space of other races, including the beast race, was compressed, and the supply of resources was insufficient, and there were no longer strong people." ”

"It turned out to be the history of 10,000 years ago, no wonder ......" Darko listened to Otto's words before he was relieved, "Most of what I learned in the Academy of Magic was the history after the Demon Revolution, and I rarely even touched on the period of the Contract Era, let alone the history of the existence of the Demon Race. ”

Dakolo thought about it and figured out why. In fact, the history of human magic only flourished after the magic revolution, and before the magic revolution, most of the individual magicians were studied in isolation, and the progress of magical civilization was bound to be extremely slow. In the School of Magic, what is taught is the most advanced magical concept of the human race at this stage, and naturally there is little mention of the useless historical processes of the past.

In the midst of the 'exchange', the two quickly passed through this orc-style signpost and reached another space through the spatial rift. As soon as he crossed over, Darko felt a 'flower' in front of him, and a huge stone first occupied most of his field of vision, and then was obscured by a wide shield, making a deafening roar.

"Be careful, it's a meteoric beast. Because they are in the void, they don't have a clear rank, but judging from the strength of the magic they just released, they probably already have the strength of the seventh order. Otto's back stood in front of Darko, looking at the meteorite vigilantly, but his mouth said nonchalantly, "Being stoned to death by the magic of the meteorite is actually not a bad way to die." ”

Darko had time to break out in a cold sweat, just now it turned out to be the meteorite waiting near the spatial rift, releasing magic to carry out a sneak attack, but it was blocked by Otto's defense, so the scene just now appeared. He couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if the attack of the seventh-order magic hit him, he was afraid that he would die directly, but fortunately, Otto blocked the attack by passing through the spatial rift before him.

Only then did Darko remember that every time he entered the spatial rift, Otto would step in before him, and it didn't seem to be deliberate, more like a natural guardian instinct. Perhaps, this is the fighting consciousness that shield warriors have cultivated. Darko, who had just experienced a year of pursuit, suddenly met a defensive teammate like Otto, which inevitably caused a great contrast in his heart. He only felt that when he joined forces with Otto, he would be very relieved.

"The ones that 'exposed' a few pincers in that meteorite were meteorites, which relied on hunting past creatures to absorb energy and break down the earth-based material in the meteorite to strengthen their shells. Otto's voice interrupted Darko's thoughts, pulling him back into the battle in front of him.

Darko looked at the meteorite with a radius of more than eighty meters, and saw a few octopus tentacles-like things sticking out of a crack on it, moving in a regular rhythm. However, the tip of the tentacle gradually turns into a keratinized hard shell, which is in the shape of a pincer. Darko had never seen such a creature in the void before, so he continued to ask, "Absorb the earth element of a meteorite to strengthen yourself?" sounds the same as the principle of stone skin, but the tentacle is completely soft, like an octopus. ”

"That tentacle senses temperature, and it knows where we are by relying on that tentacle. Otto shrugged and quipped, "Actually, I think it's more like a hermit crab." ”

"You just said that it used earth magic to attack?" Darko didn't see clearly what kind of magic was attacking before, as if to answer his question, before he finished speaking, he saw that several tentacles outside the meteorite suddenly stopped moving, and a wave of earth magic 'waves' came from between the tentacles.

"Be careful, it's going to cast magic!" Otto's body suddenly flashed with a layer of silver-purple 'color' lightning, and finally all gathered on the shield.

When the magic 'wave' of the meteorite reached its peak, a stone block three or four meters in diameter was generated out of thin air, accurately attacking in the direction of Otto and Darko. Fortunately, the stone was not fast, and Otto had plenty of time to adjust his shield to the direction facing the meteorite.

Then the stone slammed against the shield, but Otto's figure stood firmly, not backing in the slightest. With a bang, the stone shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces of rubble, which were even more lethal in the scattered splash. Darko hurriedly hid his body behind Otto to avoid being hit by the 'wild' flying debris.

"It's so strong earth-based magic! It seems to be a 'hybrid' magic of earth movement and dust storm, but it's even more powerful!" Darko shouted behind Otto so that Otto could hear him in the roar, "How do you usually fight it?"

Otto replied loudly, "The meteorite is actually a very timid magical beast that only dares to hide in the meteorite and carry out magical attacks, so as long as it escapes from its attack range." Because it doesn't produce crystal nuclei, no one is idle to fight this high-level magical beast. ”

"Is it moving very slowly, will it not be able to catch up with us?" Darko was a little surprised, in his opinion, the speed of a seventh-order demonic beast would not be slow no matter what.

"In fact, they don't move at all, they can only float with meteorites. Otto pointed to the meteorite, "The Void Demonic Beast is very different from the Demonic Beast in the plane, the level is not static, but can rise indefinitely, and its descendants also start from the first level. Therefore, their rank should also be called 'level', not 'order'. They give up their bloodline inheritance in exchange for the ability to survive in the Void. ”

"It's similar to a Terran without a bloodline, so let's bypass it and keep going?" Darko suggested.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, the next sign we are going to is behind it, and it's not so easy to get around. Otto paused, seeing that the beast was condensing another magic, and adjusted the position of the shield slightly, "Now we rely on the road signs to prevent its attacks." If you are in the void and have nowhere to borrow, it will definitely be more difficult to defend. ”

Darko knew the truth of this, of course, and he thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Just kill it!"

"Just what I wanted. Otto's shield once again blocked the attack of a stone, but he was not too surprised, "Use your ice magic to attack the tentacle part of its soft body, as long as all eight of its tentacles are destroyed, it will have no organ of perception, and no matter how strong its defense is, it can only be slaughtered by others." ”

Darko smiled, and then in a flash, he disappeared in place. At this time, the meteorite had just finished a spell, and Darko suddenly appeared near its tentacles, and immediately startled the meteoric beast, but it immediately brandished a huge pincer to threaten, and it seemed that its physical attack power was not bad. But Darko knew that it didn't dare to crawl out of the meteorite to attack, so he ignored its intimidation and went straight to preparing for magic.

An icicle slammed into the tentacle, which froze for a moment, as if surprised, but immediately dodged the attack of the icicle with rapid rhythm, and it seemed that its senses were still very keen. But it had just dodged this ice pick, only to see that another ice pick had already formed, and smashed it again.

In the course of a year's pursuit, Darko has become very proficient in the mastery of second-level magic, although it has not yet reached the level of instantaneous, but the casting time is also extremely short, and he can release ice picks one after another, making the opponent tired to deal with. Sure enough, under Darko's successive blows, the tentacles of the meteorite dodged four ice picks, but after all, they were hit by the fifth, and they were immediately stained with a large ice stain.

"Shhh The corners of Darko's mouth curled into a smile, "Do you want to use your voice to hinder me from casting spells?" I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

The icicles continued to attack the tentacles one after another, and soon six of the tentacles were covered in frost. At this time, I suddenly saw that all the tentacles of the meteorite were retracted into the meteorite, as if they were about to escape into the meteorite. There are only two tentacles left to complete, how can Darko let him run away, the icicle in his hand does not stop, and at the same time rushes towards the meteorite, "Don't run!"

Darko saw that the tentacles had all burrowed into the crack of the meteorite, and hurriedly went to the crack to look in, but suddenly felt a majestic earth-based magic 'wave' coming out of it, and countless rubble 'shot' out of the crack like a stream of arrows. The Meteorite didn't stop casting spells when it dodged Darko's attacks, but only now did it cast its magic!

Darko was so shocked that he only had time to cast a frost armor, but he knew that he would not be spared from the bombardment of this seventh-level magic. At that moment, a figure appeared in front of him, and in front of that figure was a huge shield of equal height. In the sonorous impact, the earth-based magic, which was countless times stronger than the dust storm, was blocked, and at the same time, Otto's voice came, "Seventh-order demonic beasts are not fuel-efficient lamps, even if the meteoric beast has many weaknesses, it cannot be taken lightly. ”

Darko nodded in a cold sweat, he did have a contempt for the meteoric beast because of its inability to move, thinking that the magician was the nemesis of this kind of demonic beast. In fact, the reason why he was able to face its attack unscathed before was because Otto blocked it all.

After the attack, Darko carefully poked his head out from behind Otto's shield, only to find that the meteorite had disappeared except for the crack, and presumably it had hidden in the depths of the meteorite.

"I didn't expect this meteorite to have an internal passage, and the meteorite is made of very hard metal, and it is difficult to destroy it. Otto tapped the surface of the meteorite with his shield, and was very embarrassed.

"You can't go in and chase after you, and if you don't know the structure inside, if you get attacked like that just now, you'll be completely finished. Darko looked at the black crack and scolded angrily, "This kind of cowardly demonic beast has insulted the name of the seventh order in vain. ”

"You know, it rises little by little from the first order, and it is precisely because of this that it understands the importance of hiding and escaping. Now that it's in it, do you have any large-scale group attack magic, and if you have a stronger attack, you might be able to 'force' it out. ”

"My strongest group attack magic is Blizzard, but it's only a fourth-level magic, so I'm afraid I can't touch its shell. Darko shook his head, but he was suddenly stunned, he remembered that he was already a great magician, and he could perform fifth-level magic!

In the fifth-level ice magic, summoning the ice element is to gather a large number of ice elements to form a giant to help in battle, hail is to rain a large amount of hail to inflict group damage on enemies within a certain range, the frost and snow realm can create a barrier between frost and snow and low temperature around the body, which is an enchantment type defensive magic, and the freezing technique is to spread low temperature everywhere and inflict damage in the purest way.

Darko hurriedly said, "No, I have! I can use more powerful magic, maybe I can try!"

After some arrangement, Otto watched several cracks in the meteorite from a distance, and he rushed to deliver a fatal blow to the meteorite wherever it came out. Darko quietly prepares to cast a spell of Freezing in front of the chasm that the Meteorite has entered, a magic Darko has seen the Lich King cast, so he has also been driven by curiosity to check out its spells in the library tower. This time he was finally able to use the magic himself, and he was so excited that he decided to add the power of the flounder bloodline to it.

With a cold current, the freezing technique was violently launched! There was a trace of restlessness in it, and a pure extreme cold attacked the entire internal passage of the meteorite without hindrance, and then turned into a devastating explosion of magical power, and the elements seemed to be annihilated in this cold, releasing the most primitive energy.

"Here!" Otto shouted, and Darko looked up, only to see the meteorite fleeing through a chasm in a panic, or perhaps out of a frenzy, it had emerged from the meteorite. It has a round head, a long body resembling a shrimp body, and a thin cone-shaped tail covered with a thin layer of carapace.

Seeing that the meteorite was about to flee into the void, suddenly a gray-green 'color' halo took Otto as the center of the sphere, and instantly spread out a radius of 100 meters, which was the largest extent that Otto's realm was opened. Otto was watching near the rift, and the halo enveloped the beast as soon as it expanded. After the meteorite was covered by the halo, it seemed to be affected by the sluggish effect of ice magic, and its speed actually decreased significantly.

The beast danced its tentacles desperately, but it couldn't speed up. The 'Chaos' and 'Chaos' Freezing Technique that Darko had just cast was much more powerful due to the annihilation of the ice element, but it also made the sluggish effect ineffective. Fortunately, it was covered by Otto's field in time, and it was like being hit by the sluggish effect.

The meteorite was delayed, and Otto caught up as fast as he could, and as the distance narrowed, the range of the field was also controlled and gradually reduced, but he kept the meteorite in it. The smaller the field, the brighter the gray-green 'color' halo became, and the Meteorite became slower and slower. When Otto struck the meteorite on the head with his giant shield, the meteorite was no longer half as fast as before.

The edge of the shield swirled, slicing off the two tentacles that had not been frozen, one by one. Before the beast could escape, Otto slammed it away from the meteorite. I don't know if it was frightened by Darko's cryophilic technique, or panicked by the sudden loss of the protection of the meteorite, the meteorite no longer fought back, but waved its tentacles in the void, as if it was struggling helplessly. Darko came back to his senses, calmly fixed it with an ice cage, and then watched as Otto sent fighting energy into the body of the meteorite through the wound on the tentacles, and in a few moments, the meteorite lost all its vitality.
