Chapter 44: Abyssal Bloodstone
The floors between the fifth and sixth floors of the hospital have been violently demolished.
Scattered stones were piled up in the depths of the hallway.
Scarlet blood slowly flowed down from above the stone platform, seeping into every crevice.
At the top of this improvised altar made of rubble is a pool of corpses and blood filled with the smell of rancidity.
A blue-tailed monkey with demon eyes was soaked in this pool of blood.
Or rather, half of its body has merged with the pool of blood.
The blue-tailed monkey's fur was soaked in blood, and sticky blood was dripping from its hair.
The cracks glowing red were like long snakes clinging to its body, strange and hideous.
As Wang Jue guessed, due to the continuous injection of magic power, the body of the beast king could no longer bear this load, and the cracks on its body that constantly overflowed with magic power were the best proof.
With the strength of its current body, I'm afraid it can't withstand even a high-level magic.
The fragile body, coupled with the fact that it had merged with the pool of blood, made it impossible for the blue-tailed monkey to go out hunting in person, and could only lay out a town-sized illusion, allowing the Moonwerewolf to drive its prey closer to the illusion, and then devour the prey little by little.
"Look!" The more attentive Carly immediately spotted the humanoid blood cocoon hidden in the pillar of the bloody eye.
It's Raleigh and Fat Stone who disappeared before!
Seeing this scene, Lu Xian's eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to step forward and rescue them immediately.
"Shhhh
On the blood altar, the snake letter of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey suddenly spit out, and then, three monkey tails like giant pythons were lifted from under the blood pool, and the tail end slowly bloomed, and the tail end of each tail revealed an evil eyeball.
"Hiss!!"
The blood flowed, gathered around a bloody eye, and then, the blood was like boiling water, and it instantly agitated.
A monster composed of pure blood and bloody eyes rose from the ground, nearly five meters tall like a giant in front of the four of them.
Crystal red threads stretched out from the bloody eye at the top, wrapped in blood and turned into monster limbs.
The blood-eyed troll roared silently, raising its hand and slamming it down.
"Arcane—Broken Strings!"
The blue light in Li Mingyao's eyes flashed, and several folded strings popped out, passing through the crystal red thread in the blood-eyed troll's arm and nailing it to the ceiling, and the originally imposing blood-eyed troll's body stiffened, and the raised fist could no longer fall.
"Wang Jue!"
Lee Myung-yao almost squeezed those two words out between his teeth.
Whoop - Whoop!
The current surge converged on Wang Jue's raised hand, turning into a scorching beam of electricity.
"Magnetic Heavy Artillery!"
Wang Jue let out a low shout, and the power of thunder and lightning burst out, directly hitting the bloody eye on the top of the blood-eyed troll's head.
And Lu Xian also found the opportunity, and the halberd in his hand was scattered and replaced with an iron blade, cutting the bloody eye pillar that imprisoned Raleigh and Fat Stone.
But in the end, Lu Xian retreated with Raleigh alone.
"Dead."
Facing Carly's puzzled gaze, Lu Xian gritted his teeth and said this fact that he didn't want to believe either.
Fat Stone died, he was just a magic apprentice, and the magic power he stored couldn't support the Bloody Eye Pillar for too long, and not only that, but the Bloody Eye Pillar had drained all the blood from his body.
Rumble!
A blinding white light exploded above the blood-eyed troll's head, and this time there was no strange liquid spilled out, as the Magnetic Heavy Cannon disintegrated it all.
"Whew-"
Wang Jue exhaled a turbid breath, and the magic stone necklace hanging around his neck was recovering his magic power with all his might.
"Be careful!"
The iron blade fell, turning into a steel barrier to block the sneak attack of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey's tail.
Buzz –
The golden light on the steel fortress flashed, obviously it was just an ordinary whipping, but it directly defeated all the blessed lights on the steel fortress!
Lu Xian spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously not lightly injured.
"If only we could know where its weaknesses are." Wang Jue scolded secretly and said: "Look at Lao Tzu who bombarded it." ”
"It should be the stone in its chest... Ahem! Raleigh, who woke up slowly, said with difficulty: "When I was trapped inside, I seemed to see that stone, and it was that stone that kept extracting my magic. ”
Wang Jue and Li Mingyao glanced at each other.
"I'll drag it, and the captain will protect me."
Li Mingyao said, his tone was calm, and he did not panic in the slightest because he was about to face a beast king.
Among all the people here, he has the fastest speed with arcane sword wings, and with the melee route he takes, as long as he summons the spiral sword, the subsequent attack will not consume much mana, so it is most suitable for him to drag the frontal attack of the blue-tailed monkey with demon eyes.
"I'll drag that blood-eyed troll."
Raleigh also got up from the ground and said.
"You still have magic?"
Li Mingyao glanced at him.
"I have a piece of armor here, and it took a little time to break through this defense." Raleigh explained, lifting his wrist to reveal a bracelet.
Wang Jue glanced at the blood-eyed troll that had just fallen, and at some point, a small blood-eyed had climbed into the gap that had been blasted out by the Crazy Magnetic Heavy Cannon.
"Damn it!"
Wang Jue scolded in annoyance.
"I'll leave it to you."
Li Mingyao said, and the next moment the sword wings opened, and the whole person pounced out like a ghost.
And Raleigh also laid a spiritual wind under his and Li Mingyao's feet, and the speed of the two of them was improved again.
Raleigh shook in front of the Blood-Eyed Troll, and several non-lethal wind blades slashed out, successfully attracting the Blood-Eyed Troll's attention.
The folded strings danced wildly, and several dark blue folded strings rushed out from behind Li Mingyao, entangled with the three demon tails of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey, although the folded strings could not fight those tails head-on, but the burst speed of the broken strings could easily penetrate the fragile defenses of those tails, leaving scars on those tails.
"Hiss!"
The blue-tailed monkey with demon pupils was obviously frightened by Li Mingyao's rapid approach, and it was obvious that its now fragile body simply could not withstand too strong a blow.
Li Mingyao's figure flashed, and in just a moment, he stepped on a few stones and appeared above the blood altar, and at the same time, the blood pool was boiling, and another blood-eyed giant crawled out of the blood pool.
The crystal red line stretched quickly in mid-air, turning into a pair of big hands and rushing towards Li Mingyao.
Arcane – Spiral Sword!
The wings of the sword merged, and a sword stabbed out, Li Mingyao did not retreat, but advanced, and a sword pierced the bloody eye and drilled directly into the body of the blood-eyed troll.
The next moment, the spiral sword disintegrated and turned into sword wings again, and the sword wing shock magic power quickly spread out, and the six sword wings quickly opened and directly shattered the body of the blood-eyed troll.
Arcane – Dust Snake's Breath!
The advanced usage of the snake arc, a spherical magic barrier quickly swung around Li Mingyao, and the application of the snake arc's high-frequency vibration made this magic barrier also have a certain counterattack effect.
It was as if countless poisonous snakes were surrounding and pounced.
Hiss!
The blue-tailed monkey withdrew its palm in pain, and several scars were left on its palm.
The corners of Li Mingyao's mouth hooked, and his figure disappeared in front of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey again, and then, Li Mingyao drew out two sword wings and appeared behind the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey.
“... Dry! ”
The back of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey was covered with large and small eyeballs, and Li Mingyao, who suddenly saw this terrifying scene, and those eyeballs came to a close and intimate look, and the sword wings behind him stiffened, and his body shook and almost fell directly into the blood pool.
A demon tail swept over, and Li Mingyao simply gave up this sneak attack and returned to the front of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey.
Although it doesn't look very dripping on the front, it's still much more pleasing to the eye than the eyeballs on the back.
"Jiang Feng, one minute."
Wang Jue's voice sounded, and Li Mingyao glanced back and found that he was surrounded by irritable thunder.
"Got it."
Li Mingyao took a deep breath and dodged a tail whip from the blue-tailed monkey with demon pupils again.
Or the sword wings turned into spiral swords and then gravity fell and slashed, and then turned into wings and lifted into the air, or holding two swords in his hands, the four wings spread behind him, surrounding the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey to slash and stab, Li Mingyao has already shown all the agility that a melee mage possesses.
"This kid is really a monster."
Lu Xian, who was in charge of using magic protection, found that he seemed to be completely useless, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
There are not many people who can fight the Beastmaster at the age of 17, although this Beastmaster has a lot of water, but it is also worthy of his monster.
"Jiang Feng !!"
Wang Jue shouted angrily again and motioned for Li Mingyao to dodge.
After getting the news that Wang Jue had finished preparation, Li Mingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, not in his position, others couldn't understand how much pressure he was under, don't look at him and the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey back and forth, but he knew in his heart that as long as he was hit by the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey once, the result would either be that he was killed on the spot, or he fell into the blood pool and became a tonic for the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey.
The breath of the dust snake is strong, but the consumption of mana is too great.
The sword wings opened, and Li Mingyao quickly retreated, making way for Wang Jue to attack.
When he saw the thunder and lightning on Wang Jue's body that suddenly turned from gold to purple, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thunder xenomorph, although I didn't expect Wang Jue to have been preserving his strength, but at least this bombardment was enough to kill the beast king behind him.
The thunder-based method entwined with thunder patterns appeared behind Wang Jue and slowly rotated.
As the magic power continued to pour in at the cost of overdraft, the method gradually opened, and the thunder and lightning poured out like a torrent, converging in front of Wang Jue.
"Roar!!
A furious bear soul holding a thunderbolt appeared in the Dharma, looming, it roared in the sky, and the sound was like thunder, as if with a wave of the hand, it would attract the thunder of destroying the world.
Purple Thunder Soul Bear!
The thunder xenomorph on his body is actually a purple-veined thunder soul bear!
"Purple Striped Thunder - Magnetic Heavy Cannon!"
Purple-gold thunder and lightning burst out, piercing the body of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey in an instant like a meteor piercing the moon.
Whoop –
The current was stirring, and the entire blood pool suddenly burst out, and the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey struggled, but then the blood pool evaporated rapidly, and its life came to an end little by little.
"Shhhh
Outside the window, the frightened screams of the blue-tailed monkeys could be heard, and they would never have imagined that these humans would have the strength to kill their king.
Although they couldn't understand how these humans killed their king, they also lost the courage to stay here, and those moonwerewolves, after finding that they couldn't advance with the help of the treasure in the hands of the blue-tailed monkeys, quickly bared their fangs and began to pounce on those blue-tailed monkeys.
Originally, there were nearly a thousand demonic beasts in the town, but with the escape of those blue-tailed monkeys and the pursuit of the werewolves of the Bright Moon, soon only a group of them remained.
After the bombardment, Wang Jue knelt directly on the ground, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he could see how big this blow was to his review.
If it weren't for Lu Xian supporting him, I'm afraid he would have bowed to Li Mingyao directly.
But everyone had a 'saved' smile on their faces.
This time, it was not easy to survive.
Poof—
Suddenly, the sound of something burrowing into the flesh sounded, Li Mingyao frowned, and suddenly felt a little pain in his chest.
The others looked at him, and their smiles froze little by little.
Li Mingyao slowly lowered his head, and found that the bloodstone that should have been embedded in the heart of the demon pupil blue-tailed monkey appeared on his chest at some point.
The heart of the black hole that had been transformed by the Soul changed back to its original state, and immediately after, strange red threads wrapped around the bloodstone on his black heart.
It was like a red hand, grasping his heart.
Lee opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make any sound.
Red blood and black void blood entwined, flowing through his veins, and soon all over his body.
"Ahem—ahem!"
Li Mingyao opened his mouth, black blood gushed out, and then, as if something had passed through his body, it twitched violently and twisted into a strange appearance.
Pain... It hurts.
Li Mingyao's face became distorted little by little, and his powerful spiritual power seemed to break through his head.
Perception exploded, Li Mingyao closed his eyes, and all corners of the entire hospital appeared in his field of vision.
"Abyss—abyss—" Li Mingyao muttered to himself, his voice like a ghostly cry.
"What happened... That's about it, and then he told us that you and Xiaowei were in danger, so he took us to save you. ”
Lu Xian's face was a little ugly, and when he recalled the picture at that time, he felt as if his heart was being grabbed by something.
Horror, like falling into the abyss.
Although he only heard Lu Xian describe a rough idea, Mingxue Takema seemed to have pictures in front of him, and they were all presented from Li Mingyao's perspective.
She stared blankly at the campfire in front of her, the dancing flames like Li Mingyao's face distorted by pain.
Akiyuki Takema took a deep breath and stood up.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Jue frowned and looked at Mingxue Takema.
"To live to see people, to die to see corpses." Akiyuki Takema glanced at him.
"You're crazy!" Wang Jue roared in a low voice: "That demon pupil blue-tailed monkey was only the peak of the beast general before his death, and it was only under the increase of that bloodstone that he had the strength of the beast king, now that Jiang Feng is controlled by the bloodstone, no one knows what it will become, if you don't have magic power, you will be sent to death if you go back!" ”
"So you just don't dare to go?" Akiyuki Takema said lightly.
"I-" Wang Jue's expression froze, but he couldn't say anything.
Li Mingyao looked like a ghost, and he really didn't have the courage to look at it again.
Akiyuki Takema's gaze swept over the others, and everyone subconsciously avoided her gaze.
They didn't dare to bet, what if Li Mingyao had been manipulated by Bloodstone to become a more powerful monster when they returned? They won't necessarily be so lucky this time.
"I don't blame you, it's not a team in the first place." Akiyuki Takema picked up the long knife that was placed aside and hung it at his side.
"He's my teammate, so I'm better with him."
"Senior sister, can you stop being so naïve!" Wang Jue looked at Mingxue in the bamboo unwillingly.
Why, she and Jiang Feng shouldn't be so familiar, why can she go into danger again for someone who is not so important at all?
Why did she coax herself?
Wang Jue lowered his head, not daring to look at Mingxue's indifferent eyes in the bamboo again.
When he raised his head again, Akiyuki Takema's voice had disappeared into the darkness.
"Kama, you seem to be happy?"
Li Minghui opened his eyes, even if he was in meditation, he could feel the excitement of the sickle.
"Of course, an old friend of mine seems to be in trouble, big trouble." The sound of the sickle was full of joy.
"Does an old friend get into trouble that makes you happy?"
Li Minghui raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh master, not everyone calls an old friend just because he's really his friend, like the one I said, we can't wait to kill each other." Kale seemed happy and didn't mind revealing some news to Lee Ming-hui.
"Really?"
"Of course, if you can help me get rid of him in the future, I think I'll be happier."
“... Again. ”
Li Minghui closed his eyes and entered the meditation again.
Darkness echoed around him like a tidal wave.
