Chapter 250: The Forest in Ice and Snow (3)
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all! Those who have moon cakes eat moon cakes, and those who don't have moon cakes look at the moon, if you can't even see the moon, then read a book! Don't forget to give me a monthly pass! ――
Asking for a mooncake ticket-
The ice blue ice arrow technique slammed into Chen Kai's chest, if he was still wearing the previous padded jacket, then it would definitely be finished now, because there was an ice arrow that hit his chest directly. If it is a straight line, it is definitely a penetrating wound that pierces the heart, and even if you pour more than a dozen mouthfuls of the fountain of life, it will make up for the fatal damage.
The power of the frost slammed into his chest, and although it had been greatly reduced by the protection of the fighting spirit, Chen Kai still felt that his hands and feet were cold. The intense power of frost nearly froze his blood through his armor, making him feel like he was even exhaling air. Pulling his body out of the remnants of the snowman with great force, constantly relying on the fighting qi in his body to dispel the cold qi that invaded his bloodline body, when Chen Kai stood up straight, his face was still blue, and his lips were even purple.
However, with the continuous consumption of fighting energy, Chen Kai finally stood up, and the elves who had reflected it had begun to use natural spells to spawn thorns for protection. Countless slender thorny vines shrouded the two tents underneath, resisting the hail that fell densely overhead.
A net of thorns woven from the surrounding trees blocked the tent from the top of the tent, blocking the damage caused by countless hailstorms, and most importantly, creating an area to protect it from wind and snow. It wasn't so bad for everyone's attention, but this time these winter wolves once again gave Chen Kai a surprise to them. A new spell erupted on top of the spell that he had mastered, and dozens of spells that looked like snowballs slowly sprayed towards everyone's location.
Although the dwarves and elven archers had already aimed at the winter wolves and pulled the trigger and released the bowstring, the bullets and feathered arrows that flew out did not directly kill the opponent, but only caused a small amount of damage to the opponent as before. However, the damage caused by these slow-looking snowballs after landing was beyond everyone's imagination, and the moment these seemingly harmless snowballs landed, they turned into countless exploding ice spikes.
The scattered ice spikes swept out in all directions like wasp tail pins, those who reacted quickly hid directly behind the crowd, and those who did not react quickly were directly hit by the ice spikes. If there are only one or two, forget it. But the problem is that there are too many of these ice spikes to count.
The only good news for everyone is probably that these ice spikes do not erupt in one direction, and at the same time, the ones in front of them basically have shields in their hands, after all, they have already suffered a loss in ice archery. So these ice spikes didn't cause too terrible consequences, but the ice spikes that flew out still crossed the shield and caused trouble for the people behind them. Whether it is an elf, a dwarf, or a player, there are more or less several ice sticks stuck in their bodies, and the largest number even has a dozen. It's just that these ice needles exploded again after hitting the target, and the exploding flesh directly dealt a heavy blow to the target that was hit, and three elves and a dwarf fell on the spot.
Thankfully, the wound didn't reach the critical level, and everyone became wary of the second snowball after being quickly lifted to the back for treatment. After seeing the second round of snowballs, everyone started to attack the snowballs directly, detonating them from a distance. It's just that the scattered ice needles still caused some trouble. After all, these snowballs burst into ice needles that travel extremely fast, and only explode after hitting the target.
These erupting ice needles kept hitting the shield, making Chen Kai and them feel extremely painful, after all, the impact of the ice needles was not small when they exploded. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have let those elves and dwarves lie directly on the ground, and they didn't slowly wake up until they were treated by Chen Yi and Feifei Wong. If these snowballs and ice needles just made Chen Kai and them feel hateful, then there is no doubt that these winter wolves who ran away after a fight without discipline made them angry to the extreme.
"Grass! I actually ran away! Fei Yun said angrily as he covered the place where he was hit by the ice needle, he never thought that these winter wolves would be so vindictive, and they would run away like a cunning old fox, even more annoying than the hyenas he had encountered in the wasteland.
"Damn! The fourth will arrange the trap farther next time! Chen Kai looked at the only winter wolf that was killed, and gritted his teeth fiercely. And Romans also had an ugly face, because he didn't have time to get close to those winter wolves and the other side began to retreat. All that was left on the ground was a wolf corpse wounded by a musket, and the thought of his own wounded Roman felt terrible.
"Don't worry! This time I'm going to fix some dangerous traps! Fei Yun gritted his teeth fiercely and said, in the case that there is no way to leave the camp, then the safety of the camp will naturally be raised to the highest level by everyone. Originally, Chen Kai and the others wanted to use the snow to build an ice wall. But before they could put their plans into action, the winter wolves struck again, and the fragile defenses of the camp were a wake-up call for everyone, including the elves.
Romans looked at the injured elves, whose injuries were even more severe than the previous attack, because the power of the ice needle burst directly tore through the surrounding skin, causing blood holes one after another. Although the injuries were quickly treated. Even because an elf was too seriously injured, Chen Yi also used the forgiveness of the goddess of life to pull him back from the brink of serious injury, so in general, Romans's anger was even higher than Chen Kai's. After all, only one black dwarf of Chen Kai and the others was slightly injured, and the loss was much less than that of the elves.
However, this offensive also made Chen Kai and them discover another thing. That is, the protection effect of those winter wolf skins against frost spells is amazing, and almost all the frost spells that hit winter wolf skins have been reduced by at least fifty percent of their power. Those terrible ice needles couldn't pierce the fur, and although the ice archery technique was more powerful, because the other party had not released the ice arrow except for giving Chen Kai a round of ice arrows this time, they didn't know that this kind of fur was able to resist the ice archery technique.
In fact, if the seriously injured elf hadn't been given a piece of winter wolf skin to keep warm on his chest, it is estimated that there would really be no way to save it, because there were seven or eight ice needles that hit his chest, but all of them were blocked by the winter wolf skin. Therefore, Chen Kai and they are also very interested in these winter wolf skins, but it is a pity that now the winter wolf skins are all in the hands of the elves, because compared to Chen Kai, these elves need warm furs more. After all, these furs are first used to keep warm, and then to resist frost spells, otherwise they will freeze to death even if they are not killed by frost spells in the ice and snow.
The winter wolf that was killed was quickly set up on the bonfire and roasted, and this time Chen Kai and the others did not grill inside the tent but set the bonfire outside. When the smell of wolf meat filled the air, they hoped that the angry wolves would come running. Then the traps that had been set up could leave them all, but even if the whole wolf was roasted into a pile of bones in the end, Chen Kai did not see a single winter wolf appear in the field of vision.
"These damn winter wolves!" Chen Kai sighed and then began to beat the snow in his hand with a shovel little by little, in order to prevent those winter wolves from breaking through directly to the front of the camp, Chen Kai and they had to start building a snow wall around the camp. Of course, there is a lot of snow in the cauldron boiling in the center of the camp, and the melted snow is not used to drink, but is poured on the walls of the snow after the snow has completely melted. In this way, the original snow wall will become an ice wall, and the defense will increase a lot.
Of course, it will take a little time for the water on these snow walls to freeze, and Chen Kai and the others are most worried about those winter wolves running to find trouble before the snow walls completely turn into ice walls. Fortunately, when Chen Kai and the others built a circle of snow walls tens of meters long, those winter wolves did not come to trouble, and in order to build the snow wall, Chen Kai and they emptied all the snow around them, which reduced the movement ability of those winter wolves. Chen Kai: They don't think it's on the messy terrain that has been dug up. Those winter wolves can still run so fast.
In fact, Chen Kai and the others had the best choice, which was to escape from the Denzel Forest, but the problem was that most of the elves could not get out of the forest alive without winter clothes. Add to that the wolves that are now around you, and it's a nightmare to be surrounded by such a snowy guy in the wild. So now Chen Kai and they don't dare to leave the camp at all, it is slightly better for them to have winter clothes in the wild environment, but those elves are more tragic. In the absence of warm clothes, Chen Kai estimated that these elves would not be able to walk much at all, and they would not even be able to hold their weapons, and in this case, the result of facing the attack of the winter wolf would definitely be even worse.
So this time, the snow wall elves also helped a lot, they wore wolf skins and blankets to shovel the snow off the ground and then flatten it. The intense activity made the frozen bodies of these elves gradually warm up. Coupled with a pot of prepared broth, it can be said that even though there is a danger of wolf attacks, they are still happy to be able to move outside the tent. After all, even if it is warm in the tent, the space in the tent is very small after all, and no one can stand it after a long time.
Stand on the edge of a freshly built snow wall. Chen Kai looked at the dug up mess of the forest and slowly wiped his sweat, at this moment he didn't know where those winter wolves were, but his intuition told him that they were around. Waiting for the next attack, give Chen Kai an even more ferocious attack.
While Chen Kai and the others were busy watering the snow wall, the purple-robed mages of Terramis stayed in the tower frowning. Because they've released the remnants of the crystal ball. Looking at the remnant soul in front of them, whose consciousness would dissipate without the support of soul power, these purple-robed mages felt very strange, because they found that the remnant soul looked very similar to Mana Shadow Song.
Seeing the image of the remnant soul, these purple-robed mages almost thought that in front of them was a part of the soul of Mana Shadow Song. So they brought back the Shadow Song of Manna that had just been sent away, and used a spell to carefully examine the soul of Shadow Song of Manna to see if this remnant soul was split from the soul of Shadow Song. However, upon closer inspection, the mages found that although Mana Shadowsong's soul had some damage due to the impact, it was still largely intact, so this remnant soul was not Mana Shadowsong. At the same time, after extracting the soul of Mana Shadow Song, they found that although the two souls were similar in appearance, there were still obvious differences, but because the remnant soul had stayed in Mana Shadow Song's body for too long, the two were gradually assimilated.
In fact, unless a remnant soul is extremely powerful, once it enters other bodies, the final result is to become the nourishment for the growth of the opponent's soul and be gradually absorbed, and if there is no special way to eliminate the extra negative power on the soul after absorbing the remnant soul, the same result will be very tragic. Those who try to absorb the souls of others in order to increase their soul power to a terrifying Cheng dù basically end up with a tragedy that is either crazy or stupid.
Her soul was scrutinized by these ancient mages, and if Mana Shadow Song was still conscious, she would definitely rise up to resist, but unfortunately she was not much different from a toy in the hands of these ancient mages. Luckily, these ancient mages had no interest in her body, otherwise she might have conceived a baby soon. After all, it's not that the ancient mages haven't studied how to make women pregnant and have more children. For the sake of the continuation of the entire group of ancient mages, they have even studied cultivating synthetic creatures.
But now these ancient mages are obviously not in the mood to study this, and they are all focused on who the remnant soul is. It's a pity that now this remnant soul has fallen into a state of chaos because of the impact on Mana Shadow Song's consciousness, and it needs a large amount of soul power to completely wake up, and it must be pure soul power without any debris pollution. Only pure soul power will not allow the remnant souls that no longer have much consciousness to be completely broken into pieces.
This is not a difficult thing for these ancient mages, but it takes time to purify the soul power and nourish the remnant soul, so the next moment, this remnant soul that is very similar to Mana Shadow Song is once again imprisoned in the crystal ball. It's just that these mages didn't notice that when the remnant soul was locked in the crystal ball, the originally shrunken demon Elizate's eyelids moved slightly, but in the end, his eyelids still couldn't open.
What happened in the Black Tower was not known to the outside world, let alone the prison on top of the Tower where the other demonic masters were held. In fact, the eldest of the three remaining Demon Masters, known as Disgama, was one step away from death. Most of the power is completely drained and the body is not healed, and even the soul is imprisoned. As the last strand of power was slowly withdrawn from the body, the soulless husk eventually turned into countless ashes with a shudder, because even the life force in the bone slag was extracted, so these slag were not even qualified to be used as materials.
"Find someone to clean up this garbage!" Barkin stood in the prison and looked at the ashes on the ground with a wave of disgust, he thought he could hold on for a while longer, but now it seemed that the power of the soulless demon master himself could not be compared to the speed of extraction. Fortunately, the power of the other two demons can barely match the speed of the recovery, otherwise Barkin would have to consider applying to several scepter mages to reduce the size of the spatial crack that he maintains. It's just that Barkin knows very well that a lot of strength is consumed for a long time, and even if the remaining two demons are strong enough, they will eventually die for this reason.
"If possible, catch a few more guys to maintain the spatial rift, but several Wandsman mages are now asleep, and it is impossible to go to the abyss to capture demons. And it seems that it is impossible for gods to descend on this main material plane, so can they use the power of ordinary people to maintain the spatial rift? Barkin pondered, but the last method he thought of was definitely the most cruel, because if he really used the lives of ordinary people to maintain the vitality of the spatial rift, it would take at least tens of thousands of people to extract the vitality of the spatial rift a day. Therefore, this idea of Barkin will definitely not come to fruition. These ancient mages didn't want to be the enemies of the world, and they had already paid a heavy price for it.
So in the end, Balkin still chose to apply to a few purple-robed mages to reduce the size of the spatial rift, so as to reduce the power consumption of the remaining two demon lords, so as to prolong their use as batteries. Although the process is a bit laid-skinned. But in the end, the purple-robed mages who presided over the meeting still agreed to this plan. Even though they were very dissatisfied with the narrow spatial rift in Tongguò and returning to the astral plane, they still agreed to this plan in order to avoid the situation that Barkin said, and the most important thing was that they didn't want the test object in their hands to be used back by Barkin to act as a battery. You know, if Elizat is tied up and put back in prison at this moment. Then it will definitely greatly reduce the power consumption of other demon elves, and even if Elizat hadn't been taken away at the beginning, maybe Disgama could have lasted longer.
These purple-robed mages would never allow the test subjects they had invested a lot of resources to cultivate to be pulled back as batteries, so they could only nod their heads in agreement with Barkin's suggestion, and from this aspect, it could be seen that although Barkin was only a golden-robed mage, he was still on the same level as those purple-robed spellcasters in his position.
On the thousand-meter-high black tower, the spatial crack that was originally at least ten meters wide slowly shrunk, and finally collapsed to about three meters before stopping the reduction. It's just that not many people see this kind of scene at all, because this height is too high. On the ground, Canamos didn't feel the spatial fluctuations above his head at all, he just thought about when he would be able to meet those purple-robed mages again and complete his mission, and of course, bring back Mana Shadow Song.
