Volume 1: Age of Dawn Chapter 42: The Return
Dark red streaks of blood and broken limbs floated in the sky.
The screams were endless......
Thunder and lightning are roaring, rocks are roaring.
Thin threads of purple lightning were scattered in the battle array, and each strand of thunder was like a god of death, able to harvest souls and lives mercilessly.
And the sharp rock thorns in the sky were also mercilessly killed, and blood flew everywhere.
In front of mortals, these source energy powers are like the power of gods, even if they are dense, even if they are not afraid of death, even if they have a will like steel and crazy bloodthirsty colors, they still can't break through the barrier of source energy.
It was a one-sided battle, filled with too much blood and destruction.
The souls are being harvested, and these forsaken people are greeted with death and new life.
The time when the last fiery red of the day dissipated and completely descended into a dark abyss, it was over.
A sea of blood spread over the pavement. The pale gray pavement was stained blood-red, and there was a dead silence around it.
Blood spilled out of the roots of the rock, and in the eternal night it weighed as a rock.
Chen Kaiyu and Tashan stood in the center of the corpses like two blood lords, and these corpses were all charred and black.
They're all dead.
The face is hideous or peaceful.
Truth be told, they didn't deserve to die.
But in this gloomy age, life and death have nothing to do with right or wrong.
Chen Kaiyu sorted out the mutilation of the three-headed rock shield alienated beast on his shoulder, and continued to move forward.
Tower Hill, a close second.
This time, the aura of the two was hidden.
They didn't encounter anything, the Bloody Alien Beast or the Dark Source Beast, and if they did, there would be a fierce battle.
And if you encounter that kind of very powerful alien beast, then it will be even more unbearable.
The two walked for a while.
At this time, the night was intoxicating, with stars twinkling between the black canopies, and fiery meteors piercing the sky.
In front of the two of them is the image of a magnificent city silhouette.
This is Celestial Wind City.
Finally arrived at the destination, fortunately, there was no danger.
Chen Kaiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we must be cautious, but don't forget to travel through this forsaken land, but be very careful, these evil people will not let us leave."
"Especially in the dark night, where you are good at hiding...... Tashan said worriedly.
"I'm sure those people are very desperate for their lives, and they probably wouldn't do that." Chen Kaiyu said lightly.
"Well, though, we still have to be careful." He continued.
"Yes."
Tashan nodded.
In the dark, the two walked slowly.
Coming to the edge of the city, looking at the tall city wall and the majestic atmosphere, Chen Kaiyu's heart tightened.
Next to each other are the Forsakens with bloody or greedy eyes.
They were all eyeing the three-headed Rock Shield Alien Beast that Chen Kaiyu and Tashan were carrying.
After a few days of hard training, Chen Kaiyu finally succeeded in cultivating the Spirit Slash and the Spiritual Qi Barrier, and he could put it away freely.
Moreover, his cultivation as a one-star spirit has also been completely stabilized.
Xiao Lei Ling was secretly speechless......
This thing is too perverted......
It would take two or three months for ordinary spirits to develop such spiritual skills. And this goods, two or three days?
In the evening, in the small restaurant, Chen Kaiyu was fully armed and ready to go.
"Hey, are you really going to hunt demons in a while?"
Chen Kaiyu asked.
"Hmm. Are you nervous? ”
Chen Kaiyu yawned and said, "Nervous, I'm trembling now." ”
Xiao Lei Ling looked at his cheap appearance and couldn't help gritting his teeth.
You just pretend, and you'll look good later.
"Let's go."
"Okay."
The night is mellow, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Chen Kaiyu was speeding in the middle of the night.
He muttered, "Hey, do you really feel the monster?" ”
"Don't compare, I'm already helping you sift through. It's a time of great demonic tides, and there are many, many monsters, and I can feel a lot of them casually. But can you beat those? Just your little body? Ten lives are not enough to give! Like the monster that attacked you last time, the Devourer, it was the lowest level of first-level monsters. If it weren't for the luck of you activating the Crimson Ancient Jade, are you sure you won't be sacrificed? ”
"Okay, you look for it, I won't rush you."
Chen Kaiyu hurriedly said.
"By the way, what is the Demon Tide Surge Period?"
"It's a period of high activity of monsters, once every ten years, and lasts for about a few months. You can think of this period as the heat period for the monsters, and they are very irritable......"
Chen Kaiyu is full of black lines.
Rut???
Those things also have an estrus period!!
"If there are so many monsters, why don't you see them attacking human society?"
"Hehe, simple boy. The reason is very simple, you are a very special country in the hot summer. ”
"Huh?"
"First of all, how many cities have you built in the country of Hot Summer?"
"There must be hundreds."
"Well, it's hard for ordinary people to understand why such a wall was built?
A hundred cities in the hot summer have been built over decades.
At that time, the approach of your Yanxia government was criticized by the people, because it was in the heyday of mankind after the war, why did you build such a wall?
But time has proven that it was a miracle, a far-sighted decision.
When the monsters recover, other countries will suffer heavy losses, but you are the only ones in the hot summer, relying on the advantage of the spiritual power city wall, to keep all enemies out of the wall. With such a huge amount of manpower and material resources, this is done for the safety of ordinary people.
This kind of courage, this kind of glory, belongs to your Yanxia government, and it is well deserved.
A hundred cities in the hot summer, standing arrogantly. This is the miracle of your vast land of China.
You are lucky to have such a government, young man. ”
Chen Kaiyu looked solemn.
"This city wall blocks the invasion of most of the monsters, and the few monsters that sneak in will also be killed by the spirits in the city. Therefore, you are rarely attacked by monsters. Cherish the present life, because in the near future, such a comfortable life is likely to disappear! ”
"Hmm."
"However, there are some drawbacks to this."
"Huh?"
"The information of ordinary people is closed, which is to deprive them of their right to know."
Just as Chen Kaiyu was about to answer, Xiao Lei Ling suddenly shouted.
"Wait, I seem to have found a lonely one."
"Where?"
"Five hundred meters ahead."
"I'll go."
"You're not nervous at all?"
Xiao Lei Ling asked in surprise.
According to what it thinks, Chen Kaiyu's courage shouldn't be so majestic!
"Hehe, it's okay, with you, I'm not afraid of anything."
Chen Kaiyu patted Xiao Lei Ling's shoulder.
"Don't rely on me. Don't worry, when you're fighting monsters, I'm never going to interfere. ”
"You...... Don't underestimate me......"
"Actually, when I think about fighting monsters, I clearly feel my restlessness, and my blood boils endlessly."
Chen Kaiyu said unhurriedly.
"You...... Can you ...... What a freak. ”
Little Lei Ling was surprised.
Chen Kaiyu flew for a few hundred meters, without the slightest feeling of panting, and his awakening as a spirit strengthened his physical fitness.
This is a wilderness, there is a lot of shelter, and he and little Lei Ling are hiding in a weed.
Directly in front of him is a monster.
The fiery red carapace, two blade-like tentacles, and a dozen legs stretched out underneath shook at an extremely high frequency.
"Fire ant, first-class monster, skill: spewing flames. Fire ants are swarms, but they are out of the pack. It's fast, and you'll need to sneak up on it, preferably with one hit. Its weak point is those two flame-spewing tentacles, concentrate your fire on those two horns, and victory will be yours, boy. ”
Little Lei Ling explained.
"Okay."
Chen Kaiyu was eager to try.
The fire ants walked around, making restless cries, as if to vent their frustration with the detachment.
It didn't pay attention to Chen Kaiyu, who walked carefully in the shadows.
approached, Chen Kaiyu secretly accumulated.
"Spirit Slash."
A sharp aura slashed towards the fire ant's tentacles.
The fire ant is a bit alert, and after feeling the fierce aura, it quickly dodges, but it is still hit.
Bang.
Several of its legs snapped in response.
However, the fire ant, which has more than a dozen legs, is fine, and it looks angrily at the person who sneaks up in front of it.
There are flames on the antennae......
"Missed! Damn it! ”
"Stop it from spraying."
Xiao Lei Ling shouted anxiously.
Immediately after, Chen Kaiyu launched another spirit slash.
However, it was still dodged by the sensitive fire ants, and the tentacles of the fire ants were still accumulating.
"I'm going to go, I really don't believe I can't hit you."
Chen Kaiyu flew and jumped, only a few dozen centimeters away from the tentacles of the fire ants.
"What are you doing!! You don't want to die!! Watch out for its flames!! ”
Xiao Lei Ling looked at Chen Kaiyu's self-harming behavior and said anxiously.
Charge up.
A huge fireball erupted from the tentacles of the fire ant and flew towards Chen Kaiyu.
The flames burst open......
Suddenly, a sharp streak cut through the flames.
"Spirit Slash."
A roar.
This time, at such a close distance, the fire ants couldn't hide.
"Boom".
This sharp aura directly broke the tentacles of the fire ant, almost cutting off half of its fiery red head.
The fire ants hissed in pain and spun in place.
Chen Kaiyu decisively mended the knife.
An end to the fire ant's life with a single slash.
"Whew."
Chen Kaiyu exhaled a long breath.
"Boy, you can't take such a risk next time. Do you think your Reiki barrier is hard enough? If I hadn't injected the Thunder Aura in time, you would have hung up a long time ago. ”
"If you don't go crazy, how can you become an emperor. I have long looked down on life and death. ”
Chen Kaiyu pretended to say a word.
But his trembling legs fully exposed his inner world.
"Huh."
Little Lei Ling sneered.
"Your spirit slash is quite proficient, if it weren't for the spirit slash and the strengthened aura barrier to resist the flames just now, the result is really hard to say."
"Alright, go eat your spirit stones."
"Okay."
Little Lei Ling's eyes lit up.
"By the way, what about the monster corpse?"
Chen Kaiyu asked suspiciously.
"And the corpse of the beast eater from last time is gone?"
"After the monster dies, the corpse will directly turn into a puddle of green water, leaving only the spirit bead in the body."
"Why?"
"I don't know, you humans haven't understood the principle for a long time."
"Oh."
Xiao Lei Ling grabbed the spirit bead, and it looked up into the distance.
"Oh no, there's a monster that's rapidly approaching us."
Xiao Lei Ling said anxiously.
"Huh? What's going on? ”
"It was far away from us, and I didn't think it would come, but I didn't expect it to come closer quickly just after the battle. Damn it!!. ”
"What are you afraid of, isn't it just a monster?"
"Judging by the breath, it's a second-level monster. If you don't get it, you'll die, be safe, and run away. ”
"I'll go!! Level 2!! ”
Chen Kaiyu slipped away decisively.
He turned on his spiritual power and ran wildly.
"It's about seven hundred meters away from us."
"It's fast."
"If we run away like this, we probably won't be able to escape!!"
"So what to do?"
"Find a place to hide first."
"Okay."
There was a forest in front of him, Chen Kaiyu got into it, found a thick tree and climbed it.
"What should I do?"
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Huh?"
"Kill the monster."
"Just kidding, that's level two!!"
"The spirit bead belongs to you."
Chen Kaiyu's eyes widened.
"I agree."
This is a cheap commodity that will be accepted when it sees profits......
By the bright moonlight, looking from the tree, the monster finally appeared.
It was a wolf-shaped monster, tall and tyrannical. He was running rapidly, his fiery red hair fluttering in the wind.
"The Flame Wolf is another fire-based monster. Strange, why are there so many fire-type monsters here? ”
Xiao Lei Ling wondered.
"Don't worry about it so much, are you sure I can beat this guy?"
Chen Kaiyu couldn't help but tremble when he looked at the flame wolf's sturdy body and sharp fangs.
"Forget it, I don't want to die young!"
"Hehe, wolf monsters pride themselves on their keen sense of smell, and few prey can escape the punishment of wolf monsters. Didn't you notice? It's tracking your breath to get here. ”
"In other words, I can't run away."
Chen Kaiyu's face was a little ugly.
"Don't try to run, think about how to kill it. Didn't you notice, that guy had an injury on his left leg. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Kaiyu took a closer look, and the left side of the fast-moving flame wolf was indeed a little bumpy.
"You're so meticulous! But what's the use of that? Lei Gongzi. ”
Chen Kaiyu said sarcastically.
"Hehe, the Flame Wolf is the king of melee combat, and it has fire attached to every attack. But this is not an open space, and we can grind it to death. Got it? ”
"Does that mean kite it? Consume it to death? ”
"Yes."
"Watch out for its area of effect skill for a moment, Earth Flame."
"Okay."
The Flame Wolf stopped, sniffed, and turned and approached the woods.
It is alert, scanning its surroundings from time to time.
But it didn't expect the attack to come from the sky.
"Spirit Slash."
Chen Kaiyu didn't attack its injured left leg, but instead shot towards the flame wolf's eyes.
One hit firmly to the point.
A green liquid flowed from the corners of the flaming wolf's eyes.
It roared angrily.
Haha, I didn't become a cripple, I became blind first.
With a flick of his claw, the flaming wolf snapped the tree.
Chen Kaiyu didn't feel proud for long, and he fell hard.
"I'll go, and I'll die of pain."
He screamed.
The flaming wolf's attack was swift.
"Open the barrier."
Xiao Lei Ling reminded anxiously.
Bang.
Even though the aura barrier was opened, Chen Kaiyu was still hit hard by the flame wolf's angry blow mixed with flames, and he was knocked out.
"Ahem."
Blood oozed from the corners of the mouth.
He quickly climbed another tree.
He slashed decisively, but was nimble by the flaming wolf.
Immediately after that, the tree fell, he changed the tree and continued to launch.
This scenario went on several times.
Although they can occasionally hit, they are not vital parts, leaving only a few small scars on the flame wolf.
"No, Xiao Lei, my spiritual power and physical strength are about to run out."
Chen Kaiyu climbed a tree and panted.
"It's cheap, you kid, integrate the spirit stone of the fire ant just now into the crimson world to replenish the spiritual power."
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"Well, in order to deal with the unexpected."
"I love you to death, little Lei."
Chen Kaiyu roared excitedly.
With a slight dizziness, Chen Kaiyu felt that the spiritual power in his body was a little fuller.
"No, if it goes on like this, it's not that it's consumed to death, it's that I'm consumed to death first."
"Hmm."
"So what to do?"
Chen Kaiyu asked anxiously while dodging the scorching attack of the flame wolf.
"Deliberately sell a flaw, let's give it a strengthened spirit slash."
"Okay."
Chen Kaiyu hid behind the big tree, motionless.
Although the flame wolf was blind, he could still sense Chen Kaiyu's position with his breath.
It wondered why this little bug that had been bouncing around didn't move.
However, the beastly brain did not think, and it flew over.
"It's now, launch."
A single blow fused with the spirit slash of the two most powerful Golden Thunder Spiritual Qi directly hit the head of the Flame Wolf.
With a bang, smoke and dust flew up. Splashes of green liquid in the sky.
"I'm finally dead."
Chen Kaiyu took a breath and stared at the situation in the smoke and dust.
"No, get out of the way."
Inside, Xiao Lei Ling roared.
At this time, in the smoke and dust, endless flames danced and flew towards Chen Kaiyu.
Chen Kaiyu immediately dodged behind a tree and set up an aura barrier.
The flames of tyranny and terror crashed mercilessly, harvesting everything.
……
……
"I went and picked up a small life."
Chen Kaiyu pushed away the charred tree that was pressing on him with difficulty.
He slowly stood up and saw the dying flaming wolf in front of him.
"Die."
He thought silently in his heart.
A spiritual slash took the life of this ferocious monster.
"Whew, it's finally over."
Chen Kaiyu picked up the spirit bead on the ground, ignored the painful body, and flew away.
……
……
In the room, Chen Kaiyu was lying half-dead on the bed, and Xiao Lei Ling cleaned up his wounds.
"By the way, why did you run so fast just now?"
"Wasn't I afraid that another monster would pop up next?"
"Don't worry, there's a monster coming, I'll warn you."
"Hehe, it's too late when you remind you."
"It was an accident today, if that monster wasn't an agile flame wolf, I'm sure I could help you get out of it."
Chen Kaiyu shook his head and said no more.
"However, you are really lucky, fortunately the Flame Wolf's Earth Flame is an area skill, and the damage is not high, otherwise you will ......"
"It's not too high!! I almost died in its flames!! ”
Chen Kaiyu jumped up suddenly.
Xiao Lei Ling looked at him calmly.
"Aren't you hurting, so hard."
"Hiss, hiss, ahh......h
"It hurts to death."
"Hey, wealth and danger are sought. We had a great harvest tonight. ”
"Well, you can eat that second-level spirit bead, I see that you have been hungry for so long."
"Okay."
Xiao Lei Ling was not humble either, grabbed the spirit bead and stuffed it into his mouth.
"If you eat this, I'll be promoted."
"Aren't there any obstacles to advancement for your elemental bodies?"
"No, as long as there are enough spirit beads, I can soar in an instant. But only if you are strong enough. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm a companion, and I can never surpass you."
"Hahaha."
Chen Kaiyu smiled proudly.
"What time is it?"
"Three o'clock in the morning."
"Hey, I'm going to be punished again tomorrow."
"Sleep, I'm too tired today."
In this way, Chen Dagongzi's first demon hunting trip ended successfully.
