Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 54, The Veil of the Phantom
In the square inside the door, the person wrapped in a huge black gauze was none other than Qin Xue, the trial of the day had ended early, and because of this special situation, the black gauze that fell from the sky wrapped Qin Xue in the field, and her face looked very painful at this time.
When the Sword God Temple and his party came to the edge of the square, the hall master of the Assassin Sanctuary walked to Lu Boya's side at this time, and the expression on his face was indescribable, some surprise and some panic.
"Senior brother, do you think this matter is good or bad? Something that hadn't happened in hundreds of years suddenly appeared before my eyes, and it was the most powerful of the Phantom Veils, the weapon that the Lord had with him. The Assassin Hall Master said.
"It is recorded that every time the holy weapon comes, there will be war, is this what the divine above is telling us? But why did you choose a candidate who has not yet entered the temple as the heir, could it be that this little girl has some special physique? Lu Boya also didn't know that although among all the people, he had the highest experience and seniority, but the things recorded in the book happened in reality for the first time.
It is recorded that if the Hallows come, there will be war soon after, a rule that has not been fulfilled for hundreds of years, leading to the fact that it has been almost forgotten.
The Black Veil is the weapon of the assassination king, capable of concealing its body while providing powerful attacks, enhancing the sharpness of the weapon in its hand and its perception of its surroundings, it has a resounding name: "Phantom Veil".
No one expected that it would suddenly appear and chose Qin Xue, who was participating in the test, and the black veil shrouded Qin Xue's five senses and six senses were all closed, and at this time she was immersed in a completely dark environment, and she couldn't even hear her heartbeat.
The pure darkness was not mixed with any bit of color, and what Qin Xue felt was that someone was beside him, looking at him with his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a little light in front of him, and the starlight formed a petite man in black, and the other party was wearing a black veil that wrapped him.
"Who are you? Holy Thorn? Qin Xue asked with a tentative tone, the other party was obviously standing not far away, but he couldn't feel the other party's existence at all, only when he saw it, he could conclude that the breath couldn't be felt at all.
"It's been a long time since I've been in front of people, and it seems that they haven't forgotten about me." What reached my ears was a pleasant female voice, and her voice was full of magnetism, "Although the skills have not yet been introduced, you are a good material, it turns out that there is already a sword god inheritance around you, and that time is enough to wait for you to grow." ”
The Holy Thorn is the seventeen sacred assassins, in the legendary battle, it is often the one who gives the fatal blow, the strongest explosive attack, the most will hide in the shadows to find the right opportunity, immersed in the like a wave of sleep, when moving as fast as a cheetah, the double thorns in the hand are the two poisonous front teeth of the viper.
It is depicted on many folk murals, but the holy thorn is always a fog that almost does not exist in the picture, and no one has seen her true face for too long, even if she stands directly opposite Qin Xue, she can still see a masked person who only shows her eyes.
"Me? Do you want to choose me as your successor? Qin Xue said in surprise.
"It's not you I chose, it's it," the holy thorn took off the black veil that shrouded his body, and as soon as he sent it forward, the black veil fell lightly on Qin Xue's shoulder. "It was the Veil of Shadows that chose you."
Legend has it that the seventeen gods left behind their own natal weapons before they faded out of people's sight, and if human beings encounter disasters in the future, they will reappear in the world, choosing a new successor for mankind to resist the coming of disaster.
After the black veil fell on her body, it was like falling into cold ice water, and the feeling of being cold to her heart came, Qin Xue's lips were purple and she stood in place and kept trembling, at the moment when the temperature was at its lowest, the temperature rose suddenly, and the high temperature of falling into the sea of fire made Qin Xue's skin begin to darken.
In the eyes of Ma Yang and the others, Qin Xue kept writhing in the square, his face was sometimes ruddy and sometimes pale, as if he was experiencing some pain.
"Senior brother, I have an inheritance artifact here." Suddenly, a voice came from Lu Boya's ears again, it was from the hall masters of other temples.
"Senior brother, the Vajra Rod of the year has appeared in the Vajra Temple!"
"Senior brother, I also flew here with the Nine Ring Broken Blade!"
For a while, the news came from the other fifteen temples almost at the same time, and all the natal artifacts appeared in succession, which made Lu Boya's face change greatly.
The extent of the disaster is related to the number of weapons that appear, and at the moment, except for the Sword Temple, all the other temples have appeared, so the extent of the next disaster can be imagined.
In Ma Yang's room, the sword pill buried in the flower pot had already sprouted and grown its first leaves, Ma Yang only felt that the bamboo sword in the dantian was clanging, and with the rhythm of the black yarn, the bamboo sword began to be restless.
Fortunately, after the black yarn shook a few times, it hid and disappeared, leaving only the unconscious Qin Xue.
"Senior brother, what should I do next?" The Assassin Hall Master asked Lu Boya that as a senior brother, he had the right to decide.
Among the seventeen hall masters, they are ranked in chronological order, Lu Boya, the master of the Sword God Temple, and Yu Boyan, the master of the Assassin Palace, they are all from the "Bo" generation, and after becoming the hall master, they automatically changed their names, which is also the rule to stay.
"Come here, all of you." Lu Boya gathered all the senior brothers, and in the council hall of the Assassin Sanctuary, the seventeen hall masters gathered together, and Ma Yang sat on the seat at the end, taking care of Qin Xue, who had just woken up beside him.
Qin Xue's face was extremely pale at this time, the phantom veil already existed in her body, as long as her mind moved, she could use the black veil.
"Sixteen of the seventeen holy vessels have appeared, and according to the book, there will be a terrible catastrophe in the near future, whether we can withstand this calamity, why it started and where it is, we cannot know now, what we have to do now is to protect their successors until the day when they will be left alone." Before Lu Boya's words fell, there was a hall master wearing a mask in the seat, standing up and transforming a crystal ball with both hands and throwing it into the air.
The crystal ball turned into a curtain of light and appeared on the conference table: the soil was loose on the gray ground, countless corpses stretched out their arms from it, and slowly crawled out, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning, and only the skeleton of giant animals gathered from all directions, and human shadows moved in the depths.
As the screams of the giant birds hovering in the sky resounded throughout the conference hall, the light curtain could not withstand the corrupt and evil aura and collapsed.
"It seems that the source should be an extraterritorial battlefield, what do you think? It's a pity that the holy weapon of our Sword God Temple did not appear. Although Lu Boya didn't say it, he was still very depressed in his heart, if it was according to the previous law, it should be the Sword God Temple rushing to the front.
"I just calculated, the hexagram shows that the seventeen holy weapons have appeared, could it be that the Sword God Temple has already appeared and you just haven't found it? Or were there two artifacts in some temples? Looking at this hexagram, everyone who is doing it may not be able to escape this catastrophe. This person looked at Ma Yang meaningfully as he spoke, and Ma Yang seemed to see something familiar in his red eyes, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Senior Brother Ying, how credible is your hexagram? Why don't you let your master do the math? Everyone said a little teasingly.
Before we could see the results, the sky outside began to change: heavy dark clouds covered the entire sky, and it was not yet evening, but the sky was so dark that it needed lights to see the road outside.
The people living in the towns did not realize the seriousness of the situation, but they thought that a storm was coming, and they hurried to walk. Suddenly, there was a shrill cry from the sky, and strange creatures with their wings spread three feet long and only bones appeared from the distant horizon.
From dotted to dense, it only took a few minutes for their strange cries to shatter the glass windows of roadside shops, and they were able to emit a faint blue flame that spewed into the city.
At this time, the city's defense mechanism activated itself, and a huge position appeared in the outer layer of the entire city, resisting the flames, but this flame did not disappear, but instead burned the air, sticking to the outside of the position like sticky oil.
"Contact your superiors and ask for support!"
"Hey, I'm here on Planet 139 in the Divine Attraction Star Domain, and I'm asking for quick support from the hunters nearby! Creatures in the forbidden lands of the extraterritorial battlefield are rioting and attacking the city! "The City Guards and the Hunters' Guild here have sent out distress signals to the outside world.
The convoy is equipped with the government's unified standard equipment, heavy cluster artillery and lightweight ray guns, and at the same time as the dense rain of bullets is shot into the air, more than a dozen conventional frigates are raised from the center of the city, this kind of airship is equipped with conventional firepower, flying on the edge of the inner side of the position, and carrying out precise strikes on the flock of bone birds in the air.
The layman looked very stable, but when a green light on the ground in the distance instantly passed through the position, it shot down a frigate, and the huge ship landed in the residential area, and after the house caught fire, a large number of residents poured out from the surrounding blocks, and a large number of floating ghosts and spirit corpses appeared on the ground, most of these spirit corpses were incomplete, but the ones that made people's pupils constrict, or appeared after the spirit corpses.
Large intelligent mechs, as the mainstay of large-scale wars, they are controlled by the core of artificial intelligence, and have played a major role in the battlefield of human exploration.
Many sophisticated artificial intelligence has sunk there, no one knows whether they have been completely abandoned, and it stands to reason that after losing the support of the central system, these agents will gradually stop functioning, but now the giant machine that has appeared, the beam just now is emitted from the barrel of one of them.
