【Chapter 519】 Garden of Tranquility, Soul Deterrence
"Stand back!
No matter how strong the DPS is, the blue bar will be used up for nothing. Esreena trained her target as she directs Illuri and Hadilith to evacuate from the rubble.
The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the speed at which Eslena summoned magic arrows slowed down noticeably. Despite the countless corpses lying in the ruins, there was still a steady stream of degenerates rushing out of the rubble.
In the end, they had no choice but to retreat.
Perhaps the degraded have lived underground for too long, their eyesight is severely degraded, and their ability to move on the surface is not very good. With Eslena and Iluri's super physique, she ran wild with Hadilis.
I don't know how long later, when even the ruins of the town were blurred in the wasteland, the crisis was temporarily lifted.
"Rena, do you want it?"
Unleashing magic in a dream also costs magic. In addition, Eslena has been guarding the city wall for a long time, and her mental state is already exhausted, and after the battle, the whole person's face is a little defeated.
Eslena waved her hand, signaling that it was okay, and looked around. They found themselves in an unfamiliar rift, lined with cliffs on both sides, interlaced with canine teeth, and green lava flowing from top to bottom.
"Hadiris, can you figure out where we are, how far we are from the temple, and if we are off course?"
Rich combat experience, telling Eslena that this rift is very dangerous. If there were degraded people in the rock walls on either side, they would be completely surrounded here, with no way out.
"Hmm. ”
Except for being a little frightened, Hadilith was in a good mental state. Almost all the way to the run, almost all of them were dragged by Esrena and Iluri, but she did not forget her duty.
Along the way, she constantly observed the environment and directions, and this rift broke into under her guidance.
"Deep in the rift valley is the crater where the meteorite fell and Candusreta's body was destroyed. Passing through the crater and continuing along a rift valley, you will find the Starseeker's Brilliant Courtyard, the avenue of the plaza that leads to the temple. ”
Iluri said with concern, "Rena, do you want it, can we take a break......
"No!" Eslena shook her head flatly, "The terrain here is very unfavorable for us. Once the road ahead and back are blocked, there is really no way to escape!, so we must hurry up and cross the rift valley as fast as possible to reach the Bright Courtyard. ”
After saying it in one breath, Eslena's eyes darkened, and her body shook involuntarily.
The high frequency of using magic is extremely depleting to the spirit. Yiluli grabbed her shoulder, and tears began to roll in her eyes: "But the way you are now, it is obvious that your magic power is overconsumed. ”
"Trust me!" Eslena squeezed Iluri's hand tightly and touched her cheek lovingly, "I have a sense of proportion. The high-frequency casting of magic arrows just now is indeed very mentally draining. But I had a strange instinct that the magic in my body seemed to be undergoing some kind of extremely important metamorphosis. ”
"Rena......" Hadilith thought she was relieved, but her face was also full of worry.
"If you don't believe me, don't you believe in the gods?" Esrena's expression became solemn, "It's a trial for Hadiris. For us, too, it was a trial. I'm not lying, and I have a wonderful sense that I may have great gains after this trial. ”
Esrena's instincts were right, as she was about to level up.
The upgrade speed of the four-star witch is far from being comparable to that of Eluli. The battle on the city wall has accumulated enough experience points for her.
Well, although those sea monsters belong to the cannon fodder level, they have limited experience points.
But there are not many of them.
In fact, Esrena's current abilities are only the Starlet Star Grip and the two basic abilities of Magic Arrows. She had already awakened her primary-level ability, [Rapid Shine].
However, [Rapid Flash] is a passive ability, that is, as the level increases, it greatly increases the summoning speed, piercing ability, attack ability, and shooting speed of magic arrows.
With the blessing of [Rapid Shine], she was able to complete the rapid-fire blocking of the enemy just now.
Of course, for her, it was only thought that the increase in proficiency led to an increase in the power of the magic arrows.
All in all, [Swift Shine] and [Magic Arrow] are complementary to each other. And now, her intuition is very clear, and the magic in her body will undergo a qualitative change.
Unlock mid-tier abilities soon!
Compared to Esrena, Iruli's leveling speed is too slow, and in addition to the fact that she is a melee attack, the number of sea monsters that can climb the city wall is limited, and she has never broken through the bottleneck.
"Our time is running out!" Eslena shook her head bitterly, "No one can say if we will wake up in the next moment." No one can guarantee that the city of Arabe will still exist tomorrow. Now, we must have the courage and perseverance we should have to face it bravely. ”
At critical moments, Esrena's leadership temperament was highlighted.
"Hmm!" Iruli nodded, "I only have one request, I'll lead the way in front." You take care of Hadilys and take the opportunity to rest. Also, don't use your vision skills anymore. ”
In a dangerous dream, the best option is to stick together.
The team marched up the rift again, and Iruli clenched her swords in both hands, her eyes scanning the rock walls and the earth inch by inch, and holding out any unusualness.
The entire canyon is sloping in the direction of its extension, and the farther you go, the higher the rock walls on both sides. The three humans seemed to be walking through a crack leading to the abyss, and the green magma shimmered in a ghostly light, enveloping their figures.
Until they reached the top of the rock wall when they looked up, they could not see the top of the rock wall, and the dull and oppressive atmosphere made them almost breathless.
The road was not smooth, and black caves began to appear in the depths of the rift, more and more, until finally they were densely embedded in the rock walls like honeycombs.
Thankfully, the width of the rift valley has also increased dramatically, to nearly 100 meters wide, and there are strange rocks covered with green cracks to cover the body.
As Rao did, they became more and more cautious, holding their toes to minimize their sound, so as not to alarm the degraded ones in the cave—they couldn't see them, but their instincts told them that it must be the lair of the degenerates.
Qin Songdu, who was secretly observing, sweated for them, his vision was unrestricted, and he could clearly see that there were countless degenerate people hiding in the cave on the rock wall.
It is incredible, with no other life on the entire earth, how these degenerate have survived to this day.
Perhaps the most terrifying explanation is that the degenerate have lost the nourishment of the power of the stars and have instead begun to absorb the evil power that has corrupted the entire valley.
Finally, after hardships and obstacles.
The three-man team reached the end of the rift valley and saw a shocking scene that they will never forget.
In a huge crater with a radius of several hundred meters, the green magma accumulated in it, forming a huge magma lake that occupied three-quarters of the crater. Bubbles were constantly boiling on the surface of the lake, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
What's even more terrifying is that a skeleton too big is half-exposed on the surface of the lake, and it can be vaguely distinguished that it is a head similar to an animal, but the size of a mountain.
The skull only shows the upper part of the jaw, and the bone plate is covered with bone spurs, roughly the location of the eyes, and there are actually six rows of twelve oval symmetrically arranged cavities. At the top of the skull is a large fan-shaped bone plate, shaped like a blooming flower crown, and almost none of the bone plates have a strange, knife-like blade.
Behind the skull, there is a rib skeleton tens of meters long, curly, and the tail sinks into the magma lake.
None of them had ever seen such a terrifying creature, except that the thinnest teeth in the upper jaws were much taller than the stone pillars in the mage's tower.
This disparity in size gives people a strong sense of oppression.
There is no doubt that this is the remnant of Candusosreta!
Just a skeleton is amazingly deterrent, and if the six rows of holes are really like guessing, they are eyes. Just thinking about it makes people's scalp tingle and chill. They suddenly understood why the Star Seekers were so afraid of Candusosretta.
It's hard to imagine how powerful it was when it was alive.
In the same way, the Star-Seeking Prophet who was able to summon a meteorite and defeat the body of Candusreta was incredibly powerful and incredible.
"Candusosreta, she was struck by a meteorite during the attack on the temple. The place where it fell is called the Garden of Tranquility, a place where star-hunting gathers in front of the glittering courtyard. ”
The corpses of Candusosreta were the markers, and Hadilis was able to orient them to where they were.
"You mean, we're close to our destination?" said Eslena with a solemn expression.
Hadilith nodded, "Yes, it's close!"
"I think we need to take a break. ”
The journey was too smooth and didn't reassure Esrena. She knew full well that the Bright Courtyard was the real danger.
Because, the aggregate of resentment of Candusleta hovers over the ruins of the temple.
The huge corpse in front of her made her realize that even the remnants that escaped could possess immeasurable power.
The closer you are to the answer, the more cautious you must be.
"Here?"
Iluri was a little strange, the huge skeletons in the lake were too oppressive, far better than the degenerates.
"Yes. Esrena looked around, "Have you noticed that the closer you get to the skeletons, the number of caves decreases dramatically? ”
Along the way, they presumed that the degenerate were dependent on the evil forces for their survival, so theoretically, the number of degenerates should increase dramatically where the evil forces gathered.
However, it is completely contrary to what they speculated.
The rock walls on the shore of the lake are all intact and there are almost no caves.
Hadilys thought for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "I understand!"
"What?"
"Deterrence! Candusosreta has a powerful deterrent power in the hearts of all star seekers. This intimidation is so deep in the soul that even if they crave the power of evil, they cannot escape the fear in their hearts, and they do not even dare to face the skeleton of Candusosreta. ”
