Chapter 787: A Battle of Last Resort
After Alice left, although Aix's strength had decreased, with a large group of void creatures around him, Ax had nothing to worry about, and he was still acting in a high-profile manner, and there was nothing to hide.
Soon, Aix approached the second node, but Ax did not rush over, not because there was any danger, but because he couldn't get over at all.
Bilgewater has a total of seven nodes, this is the void crack left by the third rune war after being compressed and repaired, the seven points that cannot be solved, as long as these seven points are not fine, then, this hidden danger of Bilgewater will never break out, however, these nodes have become more and more unstable recently, even if there is no external intervention, it will erupt, but it will take a while.
Moreover, each of these seven nodes is not easy to reach, and some of them are very dangerous, just like the one that Ax first saw, with the guardian of the mother worm, if you want to get close, you must first deal with those bugs, and because you can extract energy from the node, those bugs are almost endless, no matter how much you kill, after a while, they will still be replenished, unless, the mother worm is killed, but that also means detonating the node and opening Pandora's treasure box. The second node is also dangerous, as long as people walk in, they will be broken into pieces.
At this time, the third node that Aix is facing is also not so easy to approach, this time it is different from the previous two times, there is no danger, it is just that it is simply impossible to approach.
The third node is in a rock, a solid rock. It's also like after a long time of Void Energy, maybe the rock is already hard, in short, this stone that is not too big guards this node like this.
"It's really hard!" Ax tapped with the short knife in his hand, but unfortunately, not even a trace was left. Of course, Aix's knives are not just casually struck, each knife carries void energy, and has the effect of [Void Fury], but unfortunately, it can't be cut at all.
This node Ax is not the first to come, and it is definitely not the last, but there is nothing that can be done about this stubborn stone.
After trying various methods, Aix had no choice but to give up.
"Let's go, don't waste time here." Ax panted and patted the helpless stone, and was about to leave, but just took a step, he shrank back because there was a person in front of him that Ax definitely didn't want to see.
"Hi Mercedes, didn't expect to see you here, how are you doing? However, looking at you, it doesn't seem to be very good! Aix said as he looked at Mercedes, who was clearly still showing burn marks in front of him.
Of course, Mercedes couldn't be the only one who came out, otherwise, Aix would never be so polite, and he would have already let the void creatures around him rush up, and beat Mercedes to the ground.
"What's the matter, you've changed your door recently and mixed up with Planck?" Aix said, glancing at the pirates beside Mercedes.
"I didn't expect you to care about me so much, in that case, how about going to Demacia with me for a cup of tea." Mercedes smiled and invited, but the location would definitely not be a teahouse, but more likely a prison.
"Are we acquainted? Invite me to tea, ordinary people don't have this qualification. Aix said with a cold face, like a cold-faced officer who didn't give his hands a face.
"Well, since it's not familiar, then there's no need to talk nonsense." Mercedes said that he would turn his face, and before the words fell, in his hand, a ball of lightning had been generated, and with a flick in the direction of Aix, a lightning whip was whipped towards Aix.
In the face of Mercedes' attack, Ax did not move, and a creature like a furball suddenly rushed out, and his whole body opened, like a wall, protecting Ax behind, and after Mercedes's lightning whip was whipped on the furball, there was not even a spark, and it disappeared directly.
"Insulation?" Mercedes looked at the furball-like creature and said with some surprise.
"In that case, let's try this." Mercedes obviously didn't want to give up like this, the lightning in his hand retracted, turned into the shape of a sword, and, slashing towards the hairball, this time, not only relying on lightning to hurt people, but also the sharpness of the sword.
For this attack, the hairball was obviously more afraid, but this time, it was not this hairball, but a creature like a hound that seemed to be composed of stones, although it looked stiff, but the speed of this stone hound was a little unexpected, only to see a gray shadow hit the Mercedes's sword, and then parted.
Seeing that Mercedes's two attacks in a row did not work, Griezmann was also a little more dignified, the two previous attacks of Mercedes, even if he dealt with it, he did not dare to be careless, but Aix didn't even move, and was stopped by the void creatures around him.
Before, when Jackson told him about the difficulty of the void creatures around Aix, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Jackson was deliberately exaggerating for the sake of face, but now it seems that Jackson is definitely not exaggerating, and even because Ax was not serious before, there are still some shortcomings.
"Are you going to look at it like that?" Mercedes said to the pirates behind him.
Griezmann was obviously a little dissatisfied with Mercedes's tone, almost like a boss ordering his subordinates, but he endured it when he thought that the purpose of both sides was the same now.
"Go, drag those damn bugs." Griezmann said to his men, and finally, move in the direction of Aix, who was clearly his target.
"Are you declaring war on behalf of Planck?" Aix looked at Griezmann who was walking and asked, Obviously, this guy should be the head of those pirates, and besides, his status with Planck is definitely not low.
"I'm just representing myself and helping my brother get revenge." Griezmann drew his sword and pointed at Aix.
"That's not a clever excuse, especially if you seem to have an outsider with you." Aix glanced at Mercedes, and it was obvious that he didn't believe Griezmann's words.
"I'm free, it's up to you here." Mercedes is easy to talk to, and it looks like you're in charge, which makes Griezmann feel a little difficult to ride.
"Well, I'm going to challenge you as an individual." Griezmann turned to Mercedes and said, "You get out of the way." ”
Mercedes shrugged his shoulders and walked away honestly, walking over to Barry and not caring about the fight between Griezmann and Aix.
