73. The Sealed Land
The long sword made a half-arc in the air, and a frosty sword light burst out of the air.
A lion-sideburn fire wolf that had just jumped up immediately separated its head and body.
Bright red blood spilled all over the ground, but soon the flames that fell to the ground began to ignite. Then the beheaded lion sideburns fire wolf also began to burn completely from the inside out.
It was only a little more than ten seconds, and when the flames gradually extinguished, the corpse of the lion sideburn fire wolf was only a pile of charred bones.
In the surrounding area, there are more than fifty charred skeletons.
Lion sideburns fire wolf, an evolutionary derivative of the horned wolf, has a wolf-type monster with red fur on its neck like a lion's sideburns. They can spit flames, or use the power of the magic core in their bodies to spit fireballs, and the fur on their bodies can resist a certain degree of slashing and piercing damage, and they also have a considerable degree of resistance to the fire element. Because of the enhancement of magic power, the waist is no longer the weakness of these magical beasts, so the lion sideburns and fire wolves usually have the equivalent of professional-level strength.
Under normal circumstances, it takes at least five professional-level players with a reasonable class mix to deal with a lion sideburn fire wolf.
And if it is a small lion sideburn fire wolf pack with a scale of more than thirty, unless it is a team with hero-level powerhouses, no one will be so unafraid of going to the trouble of finding these magical beasts.
But it's a pity that this lion sideburns fire wolf pack met Su Yan.
Looking at the more than fifty charred skeletons, Su Yan shook his head with some regret: "It's a pity." ”
"Hmm!" Anna nodded, "A lot of money was wasted." ”
In the past three days of action, Su Yan has popularized Anna's knowledge and common sense about various monsters.
In this regard, Su Yan found that Anna's learning ability was very strong, showing a talent far beyond her in learning various passive skills: almost about the weaknesses, characteristics, etc. of any Warcraft, Su Yan only needed to talk about it once, and Anna was able to remember it thoroughly. She was even able to begin to try to draw up a targeted battle plan based on these weaknesses and characteristics - although this targeted plan was still a bit rudimentary, it was undoubtedly a sign of Anna's open-mindedness.
Therefore, Su Yan quickly extended this explanation to all kinds of monsters, and it was no longer just limited to the monsters that appeared on the first floor of the ruins.
Then Su Yan found that as he explained, Anna's attention began to focus on those more valuable monsters.
For example, at this time Anna said that it is a pity.
Although the lion-sideburn fire wolf is difficult to deal with, they are also very valuable in their own right.
Its blood is a valuable ingredient for refining many alchemical potions, and its fur can be used to make armor that is resistant to fire, and its teeth, claws, etc. can also be used in the manufacturing process of other equipment, not to mention the magic core that is most included in the lion sideburns and fire wolf.
So if you want to make a gain, then there is naturally a set of processes when hunting the lion sideburns fire wolf: the most common way is to consume the physical strength of the lion sideburns fire wolf, and then find a way to capture and bleed alive, only in this way can you ensure that you can completely obtain all the materials of the lion sideburns fire wolf. And if the strength is strong enough, you can also use methods such as stuning or crippling to capture the lion sideburns and fire wolf.
A simple and crude sword decapitation like Su Yan naturally didn't want to gain anything.
Because the blood in the body of the lion sideburn fire wolf will be ignited immediately once it comes into contact with the air - so the blood of the lion sideburn fire wolf, in addition to being used as alchemy material, some mercenaries and hunters will also use it as other weapons.
"Don't always think about money, it's not good to be so obsessed with money." Su Yan said helplessly, "Besides, didn't I teach you?" If you want to obtain the body materials of a type of demonic beast like the Lion Sideburns Fire Wolf, you need to prepare some special utensils. We don't have any of these things on hand right now, so we can't gather materials. ”
Anna pouted and said, "That's why I said, it's a waste." ”
Su Yan shook his head helplessly and gave up the idea of theorizing with Anna.
Because in the eyes of the little guy, each lion and fire wolf is equivalent to a thousand cakes.
Right now, there are fifty lion-sideburn wolves, that's a whole fifty thousand cakes.
Anna's heart ached.
Su Yan could already guess this from the fact that she kept covering her chest and the look of pity on her face.
"If you eat too much cake, you'll get fat." Su Yan opened his mouth and said.
"Anna won't." Anna snorted proudly, "Mom said that Anna is the type who won't get fat if she eats anything, so she can eat whatever she wants." ”
Su Yan suddenly didn't know what to say.
Because Anna is clearly indeed in this category.
Su Yan has been taking care of Anna for almost a year, so she knows a lot about the little one: she is particularly keen on high-calorie things like meat and cakes. But for such a long time, I really haven't seen her grow meat, but because of her rich nutrition, Anna's height is swishing up, but her figure still maintains a very standard slender proportion, which is the envy of countless people.
Since Anna noticed the appearance of the skeleton three days ago, in the following time, the number of monsters on the entire floor of the ruins began to increase.
Although the strength of these monsters was not enough to stump Su Yan, it also gave him no time to stop and rest.
If it was an undead creature, Su Yan could also use his special innate ability to manipulate these undead creatures that were captured from the corpse bone plane. But like the little devil, the horned wolf, the lion sideburn fire wolf, the white leeward wolf, the little stone monster, etc., Su Yan had no way to control them, and he could only kill them all in order to vacate a way to continue moving forward.
So for four days in a row, even if Su Yan didn't need to eat or sleep, he would inevitably feel a little tired.
However, this kind of high-intensity continuous rush is not without benefits.
Originally, it would take about five to six days to reach the second layer of the ruins, but it only took Su Yan four days to reach the destination.
But when he saw the traces of battle left at the entrance, Su Yan's brows furrowed involuntarily.
Quite a fierce battle.
The staircase leading to the second floor of the ruins is a gate that is about 10 meters wide and more than 10 meters high.
But now, the door seemed to be torn open by some great brute force, the one on the right was gone, but the one on the left had a clearly visible five-finger print.
On the ground around the doorway, the bones of dozens of human corpses and the corpses of other monsters lay horizontally. Judging from the situation of these bones, the time of death must be at least more than a year and a half, but considering that the time flow rate of the ruin space is three times that of the outside, it is naturally not strange that these corpses have been corrupted into white bones.
But what really made Su Yan care was the sulfur smell around him.
It was the breath of Abyssal Purgatory.
It's the breath of the devil.
And what's even more unbelievable is that in this environment filled with the aura of the abyss, there is actually a smell that belongs to the demon lord.
According to the division of the class strength of the abyss demons in "Eternity", above the demon commander is the demon legion leader, and then the order from low to high is the demon commander, the big demon, the demon lord, the demon king, and the great demon king.
If you divide it purely by strength, the Demon Commander is an epic level above the fifty-first level, and then the three levels of Legion Commander, Commander, and Great Demon represent the three levels of the legendary level, covering between sixty-one and eighty-one levels.
As for the Demon Lord, it is at least eighty-one level above the strength.
In this ordinary-looking ruin in front of him, there is actually a demon lord with a strength of more than eighty-one levels?
Su Yan's brows were almost connected into a line.
"What's wrong? Father. As if sensing Su Yan's mood change, Anna couldn't help but ask.
"Things are going a little bit out of my mind." Su Yan said in a deep voice, "I originally thought that there should be no danger here, but now that I think about it, I think too much." …… I'm afraid this is not a ruin, but a sealed place. ”
"Sealed Land?" Anna was a little puzzled.
"Well, there's at least one Demon Lord sealed here." Su Yan opened his mouth and said, "Dad plans to send you out first." ”
"Dangerous?" Anna was keenly aware of the problem immediately.
In the past, no matter what she was facing, Anna had never seen Su Yan show such a solemn look, and she would never let herself leave his side. But this time, Su Yan said that he was going to send himself back to the camp, so the meaning of this, the precocious Anna naturally knew it very well.
That demon lord was very powerful, so strong that Su Yan couldn't ensure Anna's safety.
"Well, it's dangerous." Su Yan nodded, and he began to regret that he had brought Anna with him.
The plan he had made before obviously couldn't keep up with the changes in the ruins.
First of all, the flow rate of the two dimensional spaces is completely different, and secondly, it is discovered that this is not a relic at all, but a sealed place that seals a powerful demon. And from this point of view, Su Yan even suspected that those traps and defense mechanisms in this dimensional space were probably not used to block the exploration of outsiders at all, but to block the escape of the deepest demon.
Even, those traps and defense mechanisms were probably not inadvertently triggered by the people of the Mercenary Guild, but were opened by the Adventurer Guild after the seal was accidentally lifted on the third layer. Those cannon fodder monsters in the ruins are simply to consume the demon's physical strength, after all, the demon who has just escaped from the trap will definitely be in a very weak situation in the absence of sufficient replenishment, so the trap and a large amount of cannon fodder are enough to make the demon's physical energy be aggravated and consumed again.
And when this consumption accumulates to a certain level, he will encounter the final problem: the room where the three-dimensional magic array is engraved.
In that room, Su Yan only recognized a few of the magic effects.
But now he was sure that that room must also contain a magical effect of expulsion and purification.
It's just that these two magic effects are not powerful enough, so they can only work if the demon who is out of trouble is extremely tired and weak. After all, after four consecutive days of sweeping all the way, even a strong man like Su Yan felt a little tired, let alone the demon who had just escaped from the predicament.
But all of this is based on the fact that the demon is out of trouble on its own.
And now......
Looking at the situation around the gate, the bones of dozens of human corpses, plus those explorers in the two layers below, Su Yan was sure that that the demon had at least recovered fifty percent or even seventy percent of its strength. And after the soul replenishment of these fools, the various cannon fodder monsters that are still being teleported in the ruins have become the source of the other party's strength recovery.
It's not good, now those little demons who teleported from the second and third floors have been controlled by that demon.
"Daddy will take you ...... first"
Before Su Yan finished speaking, he suddenly jumped to the side and quickly left the position where he was standing before.
Almost as soon as Su Yan's figure left, the floor was engulfed by a sudden flame.
"Brimstone Flame!" Looking at this burning flame, Su Yan's face also became solemn.
"Really, it's not a good thing to be too shrewd." A hoarse voice came from the staircase on the second floor, and then a huge demon more than five meters tall was slowly walking out of the second floor of the ruins, "I originally wanted to wait for you to enter the second floor before attacking you, and give you a painless death." But now, you must make amends for not doing my good deeds. ”
The demon smiled sinisterly: "Kneel! Shout out to my esteemed Demon King! I will grant you instant death! ”
It's not a demon lord, it's a demon king!
A real superior demon!
