Chapter Eighty-Five
"Ah, I forgot, I'm sorry~" The young man patted his head, took out a purple translucent stick from his sleeve, and carved a circular pattern with some complex stripes on the ice between the two, and then whispered a few words, and then turned the stick towards the middle of the circular pattern, only to hear the sound of "bear", and an orange-red flame suddenly emerged from the center of the circular pattern.
"What is this!!" The sudden situation surprised Mo Chenyan a little. I saw that the orange-red flame was burning quietly without any fuel support, and the beating flame brought a trace of warmth to the surroundings, and her somewhat stiff body began to gradually ease.
"This is a magic ......" The young man coughed a few times in a pretended manner, and then put on a posture that he thought was very handsome, and said, "Introduce yourself, I am the great magician Merlin...... of the 174th generation of disciples...... The next generation of the heirs - Xin Su dyed ......"
"You're a Nightmare Hunter too?" Mo Chenyan interrupted him.
"This ...... Yes......" The young man's boastful self-aggrandizement was ruthlessly interrupted, and his expression twitched involuntarily, "but I want to make it clear, I'm really a magician, this is really a magic ......"
"Isn't it all the embodiment of Nightmare Energy?" Mo Chenyan rolled her eyes at him, "My instructor told me, these are just different forms of expression. ”
"No, of course not...... "Su Ran jumped in front of her, pointed at the circular pattern of the burning flame with the small stick in his hand, and said loudly: "See, this is the magic array, do you know the magic array?" It is a sacred space used to carry mana and perform powerful magic. ”
"We magicians regulate various elements in the universe through some specific spells and techniques, if you want to release magic, you have to let the magic in your body flow according to a certain law, and the caster's body can withstand the magic power has a limit, but if you want to flow outside the body, you can withstand more magic, so the magic array was born."
"The magician draws the magic circle into a magic circle with the good conductors of certain magical powers. And inject a small amount of magic power when drawing, so that it runs in a specific trajectory in the magic array, and echoes with the free magic power of the outside world during the operation, attracting the free magic power of the outside world, so as to enhance the magic power of the caster to a certain extent. The magic array generally needs to echo with the sun, moon and stars to achieve the maximum effect; And try to get as close as possible to the regular shape, so as to reduce the loss of magical power when running in it......"
"Stop! Stop! Stop! STOP-" Mo Chenyan covered her gushing mouth, and because she used too much force, she directly pressed it to the ground and fell to the ground.
"Uh-oh...... My head, my waist...... You want to take revenge and take your brother's life......" Mo Chenyan let go of her hand and retreated embarrassedly, rubbing her head and getting up from the ground, "I said who is your master, teaching you such a light and heavy student......"
"Who told you to always talk about something you don't understand......" Mo Chenyan stuck out her tongue and retracted back to the fire, "My instructor's name is Shen Hao, and I've heard that many Nightmare Hunters have heard of him, do you know?" ”
"I'm X! Sure enough, it's that guy! Su Ran rubbed his temples and sat down opposite Mo Chenyan again, "Okay, I take back the words before, you are a good student, and the good ones are almost the same as your master......"
......
"Nightmare can indeed evolve a variety of different powers, but not all of them are powered by nightmares." A small pot carved of ice cubes was erected over the magic flames, and some hot water began to boil, "Since you are Shen Hao's student, you must also know Shi Yuxuan. For example, her 'Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Heart Sutra', your master's 'Nine Deaths Evil Skill', and the magic I used, these peerless learnings left over from the ancient era are not completely dependent on the Nightmare Energy to urge. ”
"Of course, under the urging of Nightmare Energy, we can release these powers tenfold and hundredfold, but even if we don't release Nightmare Energy, we can use some powers that normal people can't use. So in the world of Nightmare Hunters, we've always had a natural advantage. ”
"'Nine Deaths and Evil Skills'? What is that? Why haven't I ever seen Instructor Shen use it? Mo Chenyan bit her fingers and said.
"That's a very evil kind of kung fu, which can make a cultivator have nine more lives out of thin air, and if he cultivates afterwards, he can also cultivate back the lost life. Otherwise, if you think about it, Shen Hao has a brutal temperament, and he doesn't know how many times he has died, how can he live until now......" The water boiled, and Su Ran took out some dry food from his backpack and put it in the pot to boil.
Hearing this, Mo Chenyan couldn't help but remember that several of them were attacked by mysterious people on the highway before, Shen Hao had obviously suffered serious fatal injuries at that time, but he was still able to escort the two of them from the explosion ambulance, and he didn't even have a scar on his body afterwards.
"So that's ......," Mo Chenyan nodded thoughtfully.
"Are you thinking, why didn't your master teach you such a powerful trick?" Tsuran chuckled in the pot with a spoon, "Because he can't do it." ”
"These ancient thaumatururgies, unless they are comprehended by themselves, cannot be completely passed on to the next generation through the transmission of teachers. For example, Shi Yuxuan, her 'Ten Thousand Poison Demon Heart Sutra' is her own comprehension, so it is still complete, but when she teaches it to her two apprentices, she can only teach some of them separately. However, Shen Hao's 'Nine Deaths Evil Skill' was inherited from his master Luo Wenyuan, so he only inherited the Nine Lives Immortal Body Refining Technique, and the Yin and Evil Domineering attack methods in the original Nine Deaths Evil Skill were not learned at all. Therefore, he who only has the 'residual skill' will not be able to further divide and pass on this skill to you. ”
Speaking of this, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly came to Mo Chenyan, and said with a mysterious expression: "Otherwise, how about you switch to my disciples?" My magic is the original version of my own comprehension, if you want to learn, I can teach you, and when the time comes, you may be able to become the first 'demon warrior' who cultivates both magic and martial arts~"
"Forget it......" Mo Chenyan threw him a look of great distrust. Turning to look around, "Where is this?" Are we still on the colony planet XK-3? ”
"Of course." Su Ran casually touched the ice surface beside him, and the crystal ice immediately lit up like a TV monitor, only to see that on the slowly blue sea, countless icebergs of different sizes were drifting with the seawater, and in the center of the display camera, there was an iceberg that was slightly larger than the surrounding area and had a slightly regular shape.
"See, this is where we're hiding now." Su Ran pointed to the iceberg and said to Mo Chenyan, "The Zerg is powerful, after I rescued you, I could only jump into the sea, after diving into the water, I used ice magic to open such a cave in this iceberg, and the way was temporarily sealed, so that those insects would not be able to find us hiding in it for a while, just to give you time to recuperate." ”
"How long have I been unconscious?" Mo Chenyan touched her empty stomach, she hadn't paid attention before, but now she suddenly felt an unbearable hunger attack, which made her frown.
"It's been two days and two nights, oh, it's already cooked, let's deal with it and eat some first." Su Ran obviously heard the protest of Mo Chenyan's stomach, picked up a small bowl carved from ice cubes, filled a bowl of food and handed it to her.
......
"Second Lieutenant Su, because of your serious disobedience to the order this time, you attempted to seize the federal transport boat, causing minor injuries to three soldiers and disregarding the lives of hundreds of civilians on board. Command has decided to temporarily strip you of all duties and send you to a confinement cell for a week of reflection. Do you have any comments on this decision? The presiding judge's solemn voice came from the high platform, and Su Yue looked up at the dazzling spotlight, but said nothing.
It has been a day and a night since the battle of Curtia City, although the Star Sea Fleet sent a large number of air forces to support, but in the end it still did not save this last human city, although the transport ship rescued tens of thousands of surviving civilians in time, but the garrison left on the ground was completely killed. Su Yue did not find Mo Chenyan among the remnants of the army, but violated military discipline because he wanted to force the spaceship to return.
In the dark and narrow confinement room, Su Yue huddled there with her knees huddled, her body was trembling slightly, she didn't sob, but her tears kept sliding down like beads of broken threads, and only her intermittent gasps and dripping water could be heard in the silent darkness. For a long time, she rolled feebly to the ground, her fingers digging deep into her arm, and a sobbing came out of her clenched teeth.
"Why is this happening...... Why did things turn out like this...... What am I going to do...... Can anyone tell me ......"
......
"Adjutant, report casualties!" Shen Hao stuck the battle axe into the corpse of an acid worm, and he leaned on the handle of the axe and gasped.
"There's nothing to report......," Ma Yannian, who was sitting on a damaged mecha and bandaging his wounds, replied with a wry smile, "Except for the six of us, it seems that there are no more alive mouths." ”
The assault platoon that had just been filled up was only a battle and was completely disabled, on the one hand, it may be that Shen Hao really has no command talent, and on the other hand, he can witness the cruelty of this battle. Not only do the terrifying Zerg possess a desperate number and the lethality of high-tech weapons, but the madness of not fearing death, even if they are completely wiped out, can make their enemies feel a visceral fear.
