Chapter VII: Liberation
After following the pre-agreed steps of action and destroying Miyagi's chain of command, the next step was to get rid of the pursuers, and then the three groups converged.
Through the roof and over the ridge, the three of them broke away at full speed. Although there are many star guards in the outer city, if they want to stop the three people who are in a hurry, the speed alone is too different. Moreover, without the guidance of the bell, the assembly speed of the star guards was significantly slower, and there were gnawers who set fire to and plunder everywhere, creating chaos, and Miyagi's defense force was greatly dispersed. Therefore, looking at the situation, it seems that the guards in the entire palace city have taken action, and in fact, there is not much thrill in the return journey of the three of them, and the only effective interception was also disintegrated by Luo Ling's blood shadow again.
When the outer walls of Miyagi were clearly visible, Bao Xi shot a blue fluorescent bullet into the night sky, which was a signal that the mission had been completed, and it was to notify the other two groups to go to the predetermined meeting place.
Twenty minutes later, behind a sand dune on the west bank of the lake, nine people gathered.
"It took 74 minutes." Bao Xi pressed the button of the timer. "Minutes ahead of schedule, 46 minutes longer break, everyone, hurry."
In wartime, it is not related to war and does not ask. There was almost no communication, and the 9 people were naturally divided into three groups according to the forces they belonged to, and then each found their own nest to adjust and rest.
In the hidden camp jointly organized by the company, Wang Duo still couldn't help but ask Bao Xi: "Blood Moon, white light explosion, and those weird monsters, what happened in the inner city?" ”
Bao Xi, who was about to enter his small room and closed his eyes in meditation, turned his head and said, "Do you see what that man in the fierce skull armor looks like now?" ”
"See, seemingly, happened...... Mutation? ”
"Very sharp-eyed." Bao Xi praised, "That's all Shalu and I know. All the visions were caused by that guy, and at the time I thought it was a skill backlash, and I didn't have hope for him anymore, but he was the one who destroyed the chimes and rescued Sharu and me from the phantom array. ”
"So, that guy's grade realm has improved?"
Looking at Wang Duo's gloomy expression, Bao Xi knew what he was thinking. "It's true that guy consumed a lot of energy in the two outbursts, but I hope that the first stab in the back was stabbed by the Thunder Palace."
Wang Duo raised his eyebrows and replaced them with a gentle smile, "I listen to you, because I know you must have a way." ”
Seems to enjoy Wang Duo's compliment, and Bao Xi throws him a charming smile. "Remember when I said that the man cooperated?"
"Of course."
"If the people of the Thunder Temple think that we have another kind of cooperative relationship with that man......"
"I see. There is a possibility that the balance of power will be broken, and they will attack the weakest one. ”
"Exactly." Bao Xi said as she walked through the isolation light curtain.
"It's your partnership with that man! Whore! As if to hide the sharp light that flashed in his eyes, Wang Duo habitually narrowed his eyes......
In the camp of the Thunder Temple's forces, it was Shalu with a gloomy face.
"Although I didn't observe the whole process, I'm sure that guy was lucky to complete the advancement, and it is likely to be a qualitative improvement."
At this time, Galdi was sitting cross-legged by the campfire roasting meat, and for him, it was relaxation and rest. Of course, this can't replenish the magic energy, but there is no magic energy here for people to absorb, so what is really adjusted is actually the mental state. Hearing Sharu say this, Gardi couldn't help but frown, "You mean, the situation is very bad for us?" ”
The light of the fire reflected in Sharu's moon pupils, and the crescent-like black pupils shone with crystalline light, like miniature infernal black blades burning. "We must admit that Nisira is a very tempting being, both for demons and humans, especially when she also treats herself as a trade-in object."
"Blood moons, white light explosions, it's clear that the energy consumption is extremely huge. Are you going to take out this potential threat when he's at his weakest? ”
Sharu nodded, then shook his head again. "I do want to, but I'm afraid Nisra has already reached this level."
"Well, maybe, she'll make us think that she has a further deal with that person." Galdis pondered.
“**?” Mashadou on the side couldn't help but interject.
"What do you think?" Shalu was not annoyed by the rash speech of this cannon fodder subordinate, and seemed to be very open-minded in accepting advice, and he could be regarded as an outlier among demons.
"I don't think the alien ** is very attractive to that man. Even for the thrill of conquest, not in this case. ”
"You mean to say that if Nisra really had another deal with that man, the price to be paid would only be a ride-hailing?" Gardy asked.
"Yes, I don't think that man is the kind of person who can be easily fascinated and don't want his life."
"I believe that, too." Sharu continued: "But to say that Nisera's ** is a ride, this is definitely a wrong perception. When it comes to witches, it's always easy to associate charm with charm, however, there is a secret hidden in the ** of Enriyes Witch that no other race of witches has. I don't know what it is, but I know this secret, and even the lord and the demon king value it. ”
Gardi and Mashadou both frowned. What can be valued by the lord and the demon king is an absolutely priceless treasure for the demon clan of their level, that is to say, Bao Xi does have the bargaining chips to make a deal with that man.
After a moment of silence, Gardi said, "I believe that the secret is very precious to the witch Enriyes. ”
"Once, even if life can be immortal, there is only one chance."
"It sounds like human feminine chastity. Hey! Another of Shalu's subordinates said with a smile. This guy is the head of the Sasa Devil, one of the few recognized stallion breeds in the demon world, and is known for his breeding ability and combat power.
For its speech, the other three chose to ignore it, the witch has the title of 'plane prostitute', and the witch's chastity is estimated to be the same as a man who has lived for 50 years, which is a shame.
"That man, is it worth Nisra to activate that secret?" Mashadu choked back the words. It did feel that Luo Ling was extraordinary, and this stemmed from the kind of innate intuition left over from the Ebis Demon blood in its body. But it knows better what a precious investment one time is for a demon with so many years and no possibilities.
"Who knows? Don't forget, witches are just as famous for their lies. A small trick in the contract may be enough to change the outcome entirely. Shalu said.
"In that case, things are really troublesome. Even if we succeed in killing that guy, the loss will inevitably be huge, which will directly affect the harvest of this adventure. Gardy munched on a piece of medium-rare roast, and it seemed that he was not eating a roast meat, but a collection of troubles.
As is customary, he leaned against Sharu in the corner of the camp, hugged his shoulders, and hummed, "So I'm thinking of the possibility of implementing another method that is completely opposite. ”
"Exactly the opposite?"
"Yes, not only will we not kill that guy, but we will also help him become the biggest gainer in the competition."
Sharu's words made Gardi and Mashadu stunned, and the Sasa Demon, who was only interested in EX and combat, was already asleep until he snored without anyone to take care of him.
"We're going to make a real deal." Sharu said, "For that treasure, I'm going to trade the secrets of the Ghost Codex for it. ”
"What?" Mashadou involuntarily raised his voice by several decibels. The bottom-line price set by Shalu was so surprising to it.
Gardi was much calmer than Mashadou. "Oh? What do you see? ”
Sharu nodded. "Although I didn't get to see the whole process of that person's mutation, I still learned about his cultivation direction. The Sixth Hell, the Soul. The pool of blood opened, and out of it crawled out of it were pharyngeal corpses, cursed creatures unique to the Sixth Hell. I suspect that the Fierce Skull Armor triggered the mutation, and then, one of the results of the mutation, was that the two fused. ”
"Soul, fusion ......," Gardi thought about what it would be like when she saw Luo Ling again. Well, I support the inference that the man still retains the original will, which shows that he was not consumed by the will of the ferocious skeleton. I saw countless overlapping visions in him, was that a shadow of a soul? ”
"Yes." Sha Lu said with certainty: "The innate ability that the soul opens after cultivating to a certain realm. His current Soul Shadow level only looked mysterious, and it didn't have much substantive significance. ”
In that case, the Spectre Codex did mean a lot to him. Just ......"
Sharu smiled and said to Gardi, "I know what you're trying to say, the value of the Codex of Souls is also immeasurable. In exchange for that treasure, although we have fulfilled the Lord's command, we can only be regarded as a waste of time, after all, this time the loss is really a bit big. ”
Gardy nodded.
"It's okay, the potatoes are hot and not so tasty. There are many people who are interested in the "Soul Codex", not to mention the many crises experienced in the process of obtaining it, just the obstruction of one person is enough for that person to be miserable. ”
"You mean?"
"Walking in the gap between us and the company, Luo Ling, who is recuperating and creating a derivative force. With the Temple of the Dead, and the lack of the "Ghost Codex", it is like ordering a table of good food but not with good wine, Luo Ling will definitely take action. We must let all the forces that are not our own move and cause chaos. That's good"......
Of course, Luo Ling would not have thought that Shalu was planning a play of his own. Compared with the calculations of the two forces of Lei Dian and the company, Luo Ling's mind was much simpler. Sha Lu and Wang Duo were not mistaken, Luo Ling had indeed consumed a huge amount of energy not long ago. First of all, the skill of 'sacrificial blood killing', the blood spots are detonated under the stimulation of the excessive output of blood energy, and to breed new blood spots, a lot of blood energy must also be consumed, and the consumption of energy in the whole series of processes can be imagined.
But compared to the explosion of Pale Flame, the consumption of blood energy was simply a drizzle. The body was reshaped, and with just this moment, Luo Ling was directly beaten back to the prototype, which was originally the most abundant energy reserve among the five people, but now it has become the last.
Luo Ling also knew that it was impossible for Sha Lu and Bao Xi not to be aware of this. Now it seems to be peaceful, completely because it is not yet the time to make a move, and the real life and death will happen when the final victory is snatched. And before that, as long as he shows a trace of inadequacy, he is likely to be strangled by the joint forces of the two sides. In other words, the value of his current existence is that he can continue to contribute to cracking this illusion, and if he wants to have an idle meal, no one will agree.
It was precisely because of this understanding that Luo Ling knew what he should do. When the two groups of people had a halftime break, Luo Ling returned to the battlefield and began to kill, he wanted to obtain energy through the natural characteristics obtained from the fierce skeleton armor, and strong combat power, which was the only bargaining chip he could continue to wander between the two forces.
