Chapter 170: An Untimely Portal
As the most core area in the Palace of Origin except for the Immortal Township, the palace is not only not holy and solemn, but looks very gloomy when the doors and windows on all sides are closed.
On the way forward when Lu Xiao violently cut open the gate, the sound of puffing and gnawing continued to be heard in the palace, which sounded very terrible in the gloomy environment.
Moving along the main road in the palace, Lu Xiao really found a few red-clothed Jiamei nobles who were gnawing on the corpses.
And the corpses they gnawed on were their compatriots, the blue-clad Silgamei.
"This bunch of crazy people ......"
Lu Xiao frowned, and the nobles who were busy devouring their compatriots turned a blind eye to Lu Xiao's arrival, and seemed to have completely lost their sanity as a human being.
Mercilessly slaughtered this group of red-clothed beauties who were suspected of being royalty, and Lu Xiao pushed open another gate in the depths of the palace.
"Huh?"
At the same time as the door was opened, the fresh air poured into the turbid palace, and Lu Xiao's spirit was lifted.
But it wasn't just the air quality that made him wonder, the concentration of magic near the mountain behind the palace was much higher than in other areas of the Source Palace.
"Is it ......?"
Lu Xiao squinted his eyes as he looked at the mountain path that was winding up, and tentatively used his fingers to draw runes of Rune in the air.
When the flames began to burn, the reserve mana in Lu Xiao's body also entered a state of consumption, but in this mountain, the replenishment rate of mana was at least several times that of the outside world, so that Lu Xiao would not be able to stop eating with a few small spells.
There was a golden thunder light flashing above the mountain peak, Lu Xiao stood in place and thought about it for a moment, sat on the ground in this beautiful scene, and took out the secret book of Ba Zhiliu that he had exchanged with Weisheng before.
As early as when he learned the swordsmanship of flying across the floating boat and flying across the whirlpool clouds, Lu Xiao added a skill called Ba Zhiliu in his skill column, and after many actual combat uses, Ba Zhiliu's skill level can reach D level.
With Lu Xiao's increased learning ability, it didn't take much time to master the skills on Ba Zhilei's cheats.
Ba Zhilei who has successfully learned is merged into Ba Zhiliu and becomes a sub-skill of his subordinates, enjoying the skill level bonus of D level.
After Lu Xiao's attempt (death), at the cost of being electrocuted many times and numbing his whole body, he finally roughly figured out Ba Zhilei's release skills.
In the same way that the ancestors of Ashina Province developed the technique of returning thunder and lightning, in order to prevent one's body from being used as a conductive material, one must keep one's feet off the ground when guiding lightning, that is, one must jump in the air to catch lightning and release it before landing.
It's not for nothing that this skill is jokingly called the Thunder for Nothing by players, and jumping rashly in the middle of a fierce battle is a risky move.
If the enemy doesn't know the relevant coping skills, Ba Zhilei should be able to hit him by surprise.
However, if the other party knows the details of Ba's thunder, as long as you use the same principle of thunder and lightning return technique, you can send the thunder and lightning back to the user himself.
Lu Xiao wasn't sure for the time being if increasing the skill level of Ba Zhiliu a little higher would eliminate the weakness of having to jump, but in this mountain peak of thunder and light, Ba Zhilei, whose attributes matched, was indeed one of the best solutions at the moment.
Slowly climbing along the mountain road, Lu Xiao could meet a group of elite mussel warriors every time he walked up a ladder.
As expected, these muzzard warriors also knew how to take advantage of the right time and place to trigger thunder on the spot to launch a lightning strike on Lu Xiao.
Unlike in the game, the lightning drawn from this mountain peak is too powerful to simply use the lightning to fight it back, and when you catch the lightning with a sword, you will be paralyzed by electricity.
Lu Xiao tried to use the breath to block and sneak past, but the mountain was as if someone had laid an anti-stealth barrier, once Lu Xiao turned on the breath block, the thunder and lightning would automatically chase him and attack wildly.
As a last resort, Lu Xiao could only climb upwards one by one, one by one to solve the samurai who stood at a high place and had the advantage of the terrain.
Overcoming the thorns and thorns through countless torii gates to the top of the mountain, Lu Xiao's eyes were greeted by a small cave with an altar, a well-preserved female corpse lying on the large stone of the altar, and many cherry blossom branches blooming beside her.
This woman, dressed in an ancient palace costume from the Heian period, should be the first shrine maiden of the Sakura Dragon worship of the Shikami clan.
Judging from her physical characteristics, which are no different from humans, it is true that the current Sijiamei are all aliens who have been distorted in their life forms.
Lu Xiao had originally planned to take a good look at the shrine's appearance, but when he stepped into the shrine cave, the surrounding scene suddenly began to change, and the cherry-colored mist wrapped his body.
When Lu Xiao came back to his senses from a momentary trance, the shrine and the shrine maiden's body had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a mysterious space shrouded in clouds and mist.
He seemed to be standing above the clouds, and when he looked around, he could see the mountains and rivers around Reina, and the palace complex of Gennonomiya also loomed under the clouds, and it was clear that this was more than just an illusion.
"Is this the fairy town where Sakura Dragon lives?"
"Suck ~"
Lu Xiao subconsciously sniffed, the faint aroma of cherry blossoms filled the air, and what attracted more attention was the extraordinary concentration of magic power in the fairy town.
The previous mountain path densely covered with thunder and lightning had several times the magic concentration of Reedina and Source Palace, and it was doubled again on this basis in the Immortal Township.
Lu Xiao subconsciously tried to open the portal with his right hand in a circle, and the experimental results were very successful, and Lu Xiao could clearly see the scene opposite the portal.
The portal that Lu Xiao opened led to the castle tower of Reeda Castle, the temporary guest room where he had rested before.
But what embarrassed him was that in what should have been an empty room, a woman in a moon-white kimono pajamas was changing clothes.
Using the dynamic vision of the eagle's pupil, Lu Xiao recorded the other party's exposed snow-white back within a thousandth of a second and subconsciously saved it in his mind, and carefully closed the portal while it had not yet been discovered.
"Huh?"
Yongzhen, who was about to take off his pajamas and change into his usual outfit, paused with his hands, grabbed his clothes suspiciously, and turned his head to look behind him.
She smelled the scent of cherry blossoms that weren't supposed to be in the room, and there seemed to be a faint breeze behind her.
But when he turned his head vigilantly to observe, Yongzhen didn't find anything.
Yongzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Is it because of the hallucination caused by not resting well?" ”
……
"Whew~"
Lu Xiao exhaled weakly, fortunately the matter of opening the door and peeping was not exposed, he didn't expect to meet Yongzhen just when he got up and changed clothes.
"But...... Why does Yongzhen stay in my assigned room? ”
At the moment of the great enemy, Lu Xiao did not have time to think about the answer to this question.
After confirming the ultra-high concentration of magic in the Immortal Township, Lu Xiao's mind flashed through a variety of battle plans.
The magic restriction was lifted, and Lu Xiao's combat style was no longer limited to close combat.
The sixth sense suddenly issued a warning, and the clouds and mist in front of Lu Xiao surged, and a strange-looking long-necked creature appeared in front of him through the dense fog.
It was a strange creature with a wooden body but a human face, its neck as long as that of the Shikami clan of Gennonomiya, its wooden head still growing into an unformed dragon horn, and its slender hands held a musical instrument that looked like Changxiao.
"Evolve an incomplete dragon? A wooden body with a human face? ”
Lu Xiao looked at this strange species that was not like the four different creatures, his mind was full of question marks, and the wooden dragon man with a bitter and hateful expression on his face didn't seem to plan to attack Lu Xiao, but just held the Mu Xiao in his hand and wandered around aimlessly.
Lu Xiao subconsciously stayed away from the wooden dragon people to observe the situation for the time being, and more and more wooden dragon people with similar shapes appeared from the clouds, they swayed their bodies in groups, without the slightest desire to attack.
"Ahem!"
One of the Wooden Dragons suddenly bent down and began to cough, and a large green poisonous mist erupted from his mouth, which seemed to affect the other companions nearby, and all the Wooden Dragons bent down and coughed in pain.
Lu Xiao's eyebrows raised: "Dragon cough? And it seems to be the most serious kind, could it be that these wooden dragon people are the spirits of the mountains and rivers of the reeds that were absorbed by the power of the Sakura Dragon in the legend? ”
