Chapter 57: Race Against Time
Five miles.
Lan Wu took the time to look back at the overwhelming Sinking Demon behind him, and had already estimated the distance between the two sides in his heart. At their current pace, when they reached the five ancient stone pillars, the Fallen Demons had caught up. No more than one mile at most.
One mile away, five hundred meters away.
It's not a very long distance. The Sinking Demon is the lowest demonic creature, but it has already obtained the mutation brought about by Hirosu Bisu. In terms of physical strength alone, I'm afraid that a power-type demonic creature like a giant beast can't be compared. What's worse is that the Sinking Demon is the best at speed.
It's only a mile away, and these Sinking Demons may not take more than half a minute to arrive. In other words, to turn on Tristram, give them only twenty seconds, or less.
Cleanse Lacanixiu and the Blade Demons who are close relatives of the Fallen Demon in twenty seconds...... Lan Wu had a headache. You have to leave time to inject mana into the stone pillar. Time is running out.
"Hopefully it won't be so unlucky." Ranwu muttered quietly, then let go of his grip on Kane and put Worod down again. He turned to Erin and gave a brief order, "Take them on, I'll go ahead and turn on Tristram first." ”
As he spoke, Lan Wu's gaze glanced at Kane. The latter understood, and immediately took out a yellowed parchment scroll from his bosom. He handed it over and explained briefly, "I've marked the order in which the mana is infused. ”
Lan Wu took the Enipheus scroll, immediately changed to a fist sword, and started the acceleration. As soon as Kane saw a flower in front of him, he saw Lan Wu run away. His eyes lit up suddenly, and his mouth muttered, as if he was planning something.
Without the drag of Volod and Kane, Lanwu was at full speed, and as soon as the acceleration ended, he immediately continued to open. As soon as his stamina was exhausted, he immediately took out his stamina potion and poured it down.
Just like the physical potion in the game, after pouring a bottle, Lan Wu never felt tired again. Taking advantage of the duration of the physical potion effect, he always maintained his highest speed and ran towards the five stone pillars.
Along the way, Lan Wu ruthlessly used up two bottles of physical strength potion, racing against time to squeeze out more time. When I was about to arrive at the five stone pillars, I saw a dense array of bladed demons shuttling through the stone pillars like ants from a distance.
These blue-covered blade demons are close relatives of the Sinking Demons, the same short, the same timid, and the same blade wizards. They were holding black stones, and under the command of the Blade Wizard, they went back and forth between the stone pillars, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
If it was in normal times, Lan Wu would have thought about what these blade demons wanted to do. But at the moment, he couldn't care about it.
Replacing the Bone Staff and the Head of the Zombies, Lan Wu took the lead in summoning the Clay Stone Demon. As soon as the Clay Stone Demon stood up, he immediately strode towards the five stone pillars under Lan Wu's command.
The outermost blade demon immediately spotted the clay stone demon rushing in. The large, strange body of the Clay Golem caused panic among them. Many bladed demons screamed, throwing the stones in their arms and scurrying around. It wasn't until the clay stone demons got close enough to reach a few tens of meters that they swung their small blades and small wooden sticks under the intimidation of the blade wizards.
The two sides have just come into contact. Lan Wu immediately sensed that these Blade Demons had indeed been affected, and their strength had significantly decreased to the same extent as the Sinking Demons. Crude weapons of all colors landed on the clay stone demon, with little effect. And the Clay Stone Demon can directly kill a Sinking Demon in seconds with a single blow.
Lan Wu immediately made a decision, and immediately raised his hand and pointed while the Blade Demon Wizard had not been able to resurrect the Blade Demon. Lan Ya comprehended, and suddenly floated away, completing the possession.
A brand-new skeleton paladin rose from the ground and opened the thorns for the first time. As soon as the thorns were opened, more than a dozen crude weapons fell on its body. In an instant, more than a dozen blade demons screamed, staggered and turned to flee.
Lanya's fighting talent is quite good. As soon as she saw the blade demon around her flee, she immediately picked up the scepter and killed the blade demon who fled last in one blow. Without waiting for Lan Wu to give instructions, Bruna floated straight over and completed the possession.
As soon as Bruna stood up, she immediately picked up her bone spear and threw it at the area where the blades were most densely populated. The green and faint bone spear stabbed a sharp blade demon, killing it on the spot, and then the bone spear burst open, releasing a dark green poisonous gas, which instantly spread, spreading within a radius of three meters and the like.
Suddenly, four or five sharp blade demon bodies were poisoned, and their whole bodies turned dark green. In just two seconds, the powerful toxin damage took away their lives. At the same time, Afaf had also floated in and completed the possession.
Afif had just stood up, and immediately retreated with agility and retreated to Lan Wu's side. She didn't use her skills either, just shot arrow after arrow at the panicked Blade Demons.
At this time, Lan Wu had already started the bearman transformation, crashing into the blade demon like a tank. Dealing with those mutated Sinking Demons, even if you transform into a bear man, you can't stop it a few times. But in the face of these Blade Demons, whose strength was reduced by at least thirty percent, the bear man he transformed into was like a god descending from the earth, rampage, and invincible.
With each palm, a blade demon would fall down screaming, never to get up again. The crude weapon in the blade demon's hand smashed into his body, but it was able to knock off a few gray hairs, and it couldn't hurt at all.
One minute.
Lan Wu knew it. There was only one minute left for him. If you can't dispel these blade demons and infuse these five ancient stone pillars with mana in a minute, then you won't be able to meet Kane and them in the future. Surrounded by countless hungry demons with green eyes, the end is obvious.
Fifty-five seconds.
Lan Wu slapped a blade demon wizard to death with one palm, silently timed in his heart, and immediately pounced on the other blade demon wizard. Dealing with the Blade Demon without killing the Blade Demon Wizard first will become an unsolvable cycle.
Slapping the blade demon wizard to death with one palm again, Lan Wu's heart was anxious. There are at least fifty blade demon wizards among the thousands of blade demons densely packed, and it will be difficult to kill them even if they are given another ten minutes. He quickly weighed the pros and cons, simply gave up his original plan, and took advantage of the fact that the bearman's transformation was not over, and brutally smashed away the blade demon in front of him, rushing towards the five stone pillars that were at least five meters high.
Forty seconds.
Lan Wu silently counted in his heart and rushed into the five stone pillars. The five stone pillars were distributed within a radius of thirty meters, and a strange altar made of black stones had been arched inside. A distinctly different blade demon was standing on the edge of the altar, completely oblivious to the commotion outside.
Lacanihu.
Lan Wu glanced at this yellow-covered blade demon lord, and his heart suddenly felt cold. Lightning Enhancement Stat...... This is one of the most troublesome attribute enhancements. Once it hits Lakala, it erupts with deadly lightning balls that spread out in all directions. At the beginning of the game, he was also killed by the monster of lightning-enhanced attributes.
"I knew I wouldn't have good luck with him." Lan Wu rolled his eyes and immediately replaced the Bone Staff and the Zombie Head with the Ashes of the Bane. After a brief change, he immediately fired a fist-sized fireball at Lacanihu.
Bang, the fire bomb hit Lacanihu, and it exploded. The powerful impact slammed Lacanihu headlong into the black altar, revealing only two small short legs that were constantly shaking.
At the same time as the hit, dozens of lightning balls staggered and spread out in all directions, almost engulfing the entire area within the stone pillar. Without thinking, Lan Wu immediately turned around and rushed out of the stone pillar, and once again aimed at Lacanihu, who had just pulled out the upper body from the altar, and fired a fire bomb.
His eyesight is not bad. Again, the fire bomb hit Lacanihu, who had not yet reacted. Suddenly, dozens of bolts of lightning swept away, and hundreds of white bolts of lightning filled every corner of the stone pillar, and there was hardly a single gap.
"Thirty seconds."
The anxiety in Lan Wu's heart was completely reflected on his face. His face reflected the white electric light inside the stone pillar, which looked particularly hideous. As soon as he took a quick look, he immediately noticed that the lightning bolts had the same effective range as in the game. Roughly gauging, he quickly came to a conclusion.
About fifteen or sixteen meters.
Lan Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this was not beyond his effective range. Beyond this distance, he was not sure that he would be able to hit Lakanishio accurately from such a distance.
Twenty-five seconds.
Lan Wu spent five precious seconds of his time, and he didn't feel distressed at all. He immediately fired a barrage of fire at Lacanihu. Fringe-sized fist-sized bullets shot out from the top of the Ash of Bane, hitting Lacanishu one after another.
Countless lightning bolts joined together, and a miserable white electric light filled the inside of the stone pillar. I'm afraid that even if Lu Gaoyin's professional steps into this death area, he can only end up being killed on the spot.
Hit one blow after another, Lacanihu went crazy with rage. It screamed, and turned to lunge at Lan Wu. I thought that those blade demons under my command would be able to deal with this human being, but I didn't expect that these soul fades let this human pass in, and almost destroyed the altar that had been planned for a long time.
Time is running out.
Lan Wu saw Lacanixiu's short figure looming in the miserable white lightning, and a bad thought immediately rose in his heart. He greatly underestimated the strength of Lacanixiu. If you can't kill Lakanishu in the last twenty-five seconds, you won't have time to pick up Kane and the three of them.
In an instant, Lan Wu immediately made a bold decision. He resolutely gave up and continued to attack Lacanixiu, quickly took out the Enipheus scroll from the space bag, and unfolded a rough sweep. Immediately, completely ignoring the long history of the scroll, he pulled his legs and rushed to the stone pillar located to the southeast, that is, the nearest one.
The Blade Demons who reacted knew that they had almost missed the lord's big business, and they rushed forward one after another, picking up all kinds of crude weapons and smashing them at the hateful human in front of them.
Twenty seconds.
Lan Wu silently counted in his heart, and immediately started the bear man transformation. He relied on the abundant life obtained by transforming into a bear man, resisted the attack of the blade demon, and stubbornly rushed to the side of the stone pillar. He raised his hand and pressed the stone pillar and poured mana inside as instructed on the scroll.
Soon, a circle of complex runes emerged from this stone pillar. The runes shimmered with blue light, as if they were about to struggle away from the stone pillars. But Lan Wu was not in the slightest mood to appreciate this rare scene.
Mana infused complete.
Fifteen seconds...... Lan Wu pushed his potential to the limit, rushing to another stone pillar on the right in just five seconds, and quickly completed the infusion of mana.
Ten seconds...... The miserable white electric light in the stone pillar had long since faded, and Lan Wu slammed into Lacanihu, who was screaming and blocking his way, and quickly infused the third stone pillar with mana.
Five-second ...... The fourth pillar also glowed with blue runes.
Lan Wu silently ended the countdown and raised his hand to press the last stone pillar. Soon blue runes appeared on the stone pillars. In an instant, the runes on the five stone pillars were magnificent. Five pillars of blood-colored light shot out from the five stone pillars and fell to the center.
With a bang, a blood-colored portal suddenly appeared in the clearing in the center.
