Chapter 422: Do You Know the Furnace?
"This ...... It's kind of funny. ”
Jiang Yan pinched his chin and looked at the huge rock ball that appeared in the center of the exercise ground with great interest, his perception ability could clearly sense that the rock ball contained a large amount of earth-attribute spiritual power, and the internal rock and soil were greatly compressed under the enhancement of this spiritual power, and the density and solidity were comparable to steel, and it continued to collapse little by little towards the center, giving the target imprisoned in it all-round oppression.
If an ordinary human being is imprisoned, not to mention moving his fingers, I am afraid that within three seconds, even the bones will be crushed into a puddle of debris.
Hal in the distance looked over at this time, and saw that Jiang Yan still had a leisurely attitude.
"You seem to be calm?" Hal frowned slightly, "Aren't you worried about your elves?"
"Do you think this kind of move is a threat to Xiaobai?" Jiang Yan asked with a light smile.
“...... Huh, you seem to be confident in the slime's physical resistance?" Hal sneered, "But do you think that's the end of my attack?"
In Hal's opinion, that slime may be very peculiar, but after all, it is still flesh and blood at all, and there should be a limit to its resilience, right?
It's not like the other party will be crushed to the point that only the structural level of cells remains, and they will still be able to survive, right?
So......
Hal stared at him: "Harut, don't show mercy! Crush it for me!"
"Roar ——!!"
The earth dragon grinned humanely, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and the dragon's claws pressed to the ground, wisps of spiritual power were instilled into the earth.
In the next moment, there was a muffled "rumbling" sound from inside the huge rock ball formed by the rock iron dungeon, and it was visible to the naked eye that the broken rock on the surface of the rock ball was further collapsing inward little by little, and at the same time, it slowly rotated in an irregular way, and the speed gradually increased.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan was a little curious, so he released his perception, and after a few seconds, he frowned slightly.
"Did you find out?" Hal observed Jiang Yan's reaction and proudly explained, "Now, your elf is suffering from the grinding of countless hard fine sand and gravel comparable to steel knives, which is completely shattered bones! I'm a little curious, can that slime survive in this situation?"
"I see. "There is no need for Hal to explain in detail, Jiang Yan can 'see' the movements inside the big rock ball clearly through the scanning of his ability at this moment, just like a perspective.
Indeed, as Hal said, with the movement of the rock and iron dungeon, countless large and small rock fragments inside it moved at this moment, like countless whetstones, cutting directly at Xiaobai in the form of centaur cavalry who was suppressed in the center from an all-round angle.
Although Xiao Bai still has a layer of full-covered heavy armor made of ice crystals on his body, which was not crushed at the first time, it almost couldn't support it for too long. The strength of those 'whetstones' that have been blessed by the earth dragon and strengthened by spiritual power can already compete with the ice crystals condensed by Xiaobai, and under the collision of two by two, the ice crystal armor is being slowly and forcefully cut away with an efficiency that is visible to the naked eye, and it is forcibly crushed into a grain of ice powder that is separated from Xiaobai's body.
If it was able to move freely, Xiao Bai could of course re-use his spiritual power to repair the ice crystal armor on his body, but now that it was inside the rock and iron dungeon, it was suffering from the pressure from the dungeon with no dead ends around it all the time, and there was not even a trace of extra space that could create new ice crystals for it.
If you continue like this, after losing the Ice Crystal Armor, you can withstand the attack of the Rock Iron Dungeon like a 'mill' with your flesh and blood, and you won't need to say much about the end.
"Although that guy Zoro lost the assessment, he also found out a certain 'weakness' of your elf for me. Hal looked at Jiang Yan with a slightly smug expression, and said with a smile: "I remember, if your little thing is shattered, although the fragment can still be active, and it can even be re-split into a new small clone, but the smaller the split, the weaker the strength of the monomer will be!
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows: "So your plan is this?"
Xiaobai, who was divided into countless fragments, will indeed decrease with the split, and the previous Zoro and the two-headed silver wolf used the 'Ice Mound' to seal the fragments of Xiaobai after being broken, and in terms of the effect of sealing and imprisoning, the "Rock Iron Dungeon" cast by Howl's Earth Dragon now may be even better.
When the rock and iron dungeon collapses to the limit, I am afraid that it will be as strong as a lump of steel, and the prey locked in it can be imagined.
Even if it is Xiaobai, if he is crushed and weakened and then locked inside, I am afraid that he will not be able to break free in a short time.
"That's right. So sorry, I'm going to have to let your elves out for now. Hal smiled maliciously and said, "Why don't you simply admit your defeat now?" Otherwise, after losing the protection of the elves, you may have to relive the experience of two years ago in a while, after all, my Harut is not very good at mastering the balance when he does it." ”
When Jiang Yan heard this, his eyes became slightly cold.
The 'experience of two years ago' in Howl's mouth is exactly what happened when the remnant personality was seriously injured by the Earth Dragon when he was fighting with him.
‘...... Actually brought up by the other party at such a time, boy, you probably have itchy skin!'
"Hehe! Don't you think it's too early to declare your victory now?" Jiang Yan sneered at Hal, then turned his head and said in a cold tone to the big rock ball in the distance: "Xiaobai, how long do you want to stay inside?"
"It's useless, there's never been a prey that can escape from this rock and iron dungeon...... Huh?!" Hal, who originally wanted to watch a good show, suddenly stiffened with a sneer on his face.
"Roar!?" Immediately after, the earth dragon roared a little irritably, and there was a hint of surprise in his voice.
The muffled sound of "rumbling" formed by countless rocks rubbing against each other, which had been constantly echoing inside the rock and iron dungeon, suddenly diminished by half at a moment.
"What's going on......?!"
The earth dragon uses spiritual power to continuously control the rock iron dungeon, and can also sense the situation inside the dungeon, so the changes in it fell into its induction at the first time, and indirectly let Hal know through the contract.
Hal frowned, looking at the rock ball that began to accelerate and collapse inward, but his expression was uncertain.
Although the Rock Iron Dungeon has been shrinking with the follow-up blessing of the Earth Dragon, constantly targeting the enemies inside, and constantly increasing the density of the dungeon to strengthen the suppression force, so it looks like it is shrinking little by little, but now this amplitude is obviously a little too fast!
Absolutely not normal!
"This is ......" Hal concentrated on carefully going through the contract, using the senses of the earth dragon to analyze the changes, and after a short while, his face turned ugly: "The rock and soil that make up the dungeon inside is rapidly disappearing?...... No, it's dissolved!?"
Dissolve...... Wait! I remembered!
Hal touched the scars on his face that were still left after being disfigured two years ago, and his tone was gloomy: "I almost forgot, Jiang Yan, your slime is actually very good at using corrosive attacks, right?"
"Oh, I thought of it so quickly?" Jiang Yan glanced at his movements, focused on the scars on the other party's face, and then said in a playful tone: "It seems that Xiaobai two years ago left a deep impression on you." ”
"How could you forget......" Hal's face turned a little hideous.
After Hal and Jiang Yan met again, Jiang Yan's side fought several battles in a row, and most of everyone's attention was focused on Xiaobai's several powerful abilities such as physical attack, mimic transformation, splitting and proliferation, and ice manipulation.
Even Hal, who had suffered greatly from it, didn't think about it for a while!
"Now it seems, sure enough, this hateful slime of yours can also use the corrosive attack that their race is born with, and the corrosive liquid released by this one of yours can not only dissolve matter, but also spiritual power, right?"
At this moment, Hal remembered the painful experience when he was injured by Jiang Yan's slime sneak attack, because of the tricky nature of the other party's corrosive ability, he couldn't accept the effect of high-level healing techniques, and finally could only rely on special medicine to slowly neutralize the corrosive liquid left over from the wound, and finally recuperated for several months before the head injury was completely healed.
"Exactly. Jiang Yan nodded and asked with a smile: "Now, do you still think that so-called 'rock iron dungeon' can trap Xiaobai?"
Xiaobai's corrosive liquid can even be dissolved into real steel alloys, and even if it is strengthened by spiritual power, it still can't be stopped! The difference is only the speed of efficiency when it is corroded.
Today's Xiaobai, whose strength is getting stronger and stronger, can not only change his body, but also the nature of his spiritual power. It doesn't even need to secrete corrosive bodily fluids now, it can directly release the adjusted spiritual power to achieve the same corrosive effect, and its power can be increased accordingly with the amount of spiritual power consumed.
If you want to resist this corrosion, you can only resist it with a stronger level of spiritual power.
And it just so happens that if you don't count the diversity of skills and means and the ability to continue fighting derived from resilience, Jiang Yan's Xiaobai and Hal Earth Dragon are currently at the same level at least in terms of elf rank and spiritual strength.
As a result, when the earth dragon faced Xiaobai's corrosive power, it could only use its own spiritual power to pile up, which was equivalent to the direct consumption of both sides.
It's a pity that in terms of consumption, Xiaobai has Jiang Yan's handset network behind the scenes, and he can completely beat the earth dragon.
Hal didn't know this, but he also judged that if he continued like this, the rock and iron dungeon would not even hurt the other party, and it would be difficult to even confine it - the rock and soil layer on the inner wall of the rock and iron dungeon touched by the corrosive power would not last for half a second at all, and it would begin to show signs of softening, even if the earth dragon continued to invest in spiritual repair, it could no longer maintain the solid characteristics comparable to steel at the beginning, and the effect of confinement naturally decreased significantly, and the no longer hard rubble inside could no longer kill and injure the enemy through grinding and cutting.
"Hah...... It was indeed my negligence. After frankly admitting that he was not thoughtful, Hal did not lose his way as Jiang Yan imagined.
On the contrary, he looked at Jiang Yan, and the corners of his mouth actually hung a fierce smile: "Jiang Yan, to be honest, I didn't want to use this trick originally, but since your elf is so difficult, then don't blame me......"
"Interesting...... What other hole cards do you have?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
Hal whispered in response, "Now, do you know why my Harut, as an 'Earth Dragon', has a crimson spiritual brilliance?"
The brilliance of spiritual power usually reflects the attributes of the spiritual power, and normally speaking, the attributes of the earth dragon are "earth" and "earth and stone", so the brilliance of its spiritual power should be 'earthy yellow', but this earth dragon of Hal is obviously not like this.
And the crimson spiritual power often represents......
Jiang Yan's eyes froze: "-'Fire' attribute?"
"That's right!" Hal grinned, and then asked Jiang Yan another question, "So, do you know how the furnace that is strong enough to raise the high-temperature flame of calcined steel is built?"
"......" Jiang Yan had already guessed what Hal was going to do next.
"The answer is - to pile up and surround with earth and stones to form a relatively closed furnace, and then put the flame into the furnace, so that all the heat emitted by the flame is concentrated, and the temperature can be greatly increased!"
At this moment, not only Jiang Yan, but even the bystanders, some people whose brains turned faster had already guessed Howl's plan, and many people showed surprise.
Hal laughed and continued, "Got it?"
"This slime of yours is indeed very tenacious, it can still not die even if it is crushed to pieces, with my current means, I can't think of any better way to solve it for the time being, maybe I can let Harut try to eat it, maybe it can be digested? But in order to prevent this little thing from being swallowed in the stomach and then attacking Harut from the inside of the body, I won't use this method!"
Hal did think of this method of 'devouring', but judging from Xiaobai's previous performance, then the most likely consequence is that the predator is tortured by Xiaobai with corrosive liquid in his stomach to the point that life is worse than death.
"So...... I don't believe it, after being burned to ashes, this guy can be resurrected!" Hal waved his hand and ordered in a cold voice: "Harut, do it!!"
"Roaring ——!!"
Without waiting for Jiang Yan to stop him, the earth dragon, who had already received the order and had prepared in advance, roared angrily, his belly bulged, and the dragon's mouth opened suddenly, spitting out a pillar of flame composed of fiery red flames towards the rock iron dungeon that had shrunk by half.
There was a snorting explosion, the sound of flames scorching the atmosphere in its path and bursting with sudden changes in heat. Looking up, the light and shadow of that area were visibly distorted to the naked eye, which showed the high temperature.
With a brush, a vent more than a foot wide suddenly opened on the rock iron dungeon, and the timing was just right, just enough to let the flames spewed by the earth dragon pour directly into the interior of the rock iron dungeon along the gap!
