"This time we are still returning from the right."

The expedition team sets off again, this time with Natsu, the werewolf princess, the lich Fernanxi and the black cat.

In order to avoid exposing Deria to the bumps of a tornado, Natsu decided to follow the old route to the area full of elemental traps.

The Lich's circle is a great killer against the boss, and she is confident that she can block the Black Calamity without damage until the circle is completed, not to mention that this time there is a demon cat by her side to help.

This black cat, who wants to be lazy every time, has changed her attitude since she was severely taught a lesson, and she has impassionedly asked to be a pioneer.

In addition, at her strong request, Natya Vida did not take out the Eyes of the Sea and kept the treasure.

"Natsu, I think you're overprotective of me."

The half-elf girl said to her:

"This jungle hasn't been destroyed by external forces for a long time, and it's obviously more dangerous ahead, so why do you have to leave it to me."

"Chirp."

What answered her was a kiss that Xia secretly took.

"It's a little cunning to do this, but for her safety, you have to be tougher."

Dispelling the sorrow of parting, this time the party encountered no obstacles, and they re-entered the poisonous mist-filled lair, making their way through the wet passages and finding the stiff Dead-Eyed Tyrant at the exit.

"The light of the Black Calamity pierced through its center and wiped out the soul of the undead."

The Lich introduced several people:

"If you find that you can't avoid its dark golden glow, try to avoid a blow to the head, so that I can transform you into the undead before I die."

Looking at everyone's gaze, it tilted its skull:

"It's better than going away...... Remember, if all souls are gone, there is no one in this world who can save you. Even if death comes. ”

"Fei Nanxi also knows the Grim Reaper?"

Xia tried to manipulate the corpse of the Dead-Eyed Tyrant, and found that its soul had completely lost its senses, and could only use the souls of other creatures to control the body, but then he would lose all of his talent.

"Since the experience has been given, the soul essence is definitely gone."

She stupidly gave up the search and used the way of controlling the puppet to let the corpse go to the front. Clear traps for your team.

But the plan was soon put on hold, and in a cramped place, the Dead Eye Tyrant's hard shell was cut in half by an invisible attack, making it impossible to move, and finally had to leave it there.

"It doesn't seem to be long before the real Elemental Wall will appear before our eyes."

Natsu threw a piece of star sand ore in front of him, watching it be cut to pieces, knowing that he was in trouble this time.

Star placer ore is one of the important raw materials for the construction of the Mage Tower, and there is no doubt that even it cannot stop this kind of attack. Not to mention the bodies of a few people.

"It's supposed to be the wind elemental."

The lich watched from the side for a long time, and said:

"Very dense structures, and there's something pushing them behind them, I'm afraid it's impossible to get through here, because this attack is fluid and can appear around us at any time."

"It's far more powerful than S-class wind magic...... This is the real force of nature, and it is terrifying. ”

Xia carefully felt the violent wind element in front of him and shook his head. Leaving the place with the team, they took a different route.

"It's very close to what I expected. There are a total of 7 paths to continue on, but 6 of them are blocked by natural elemental traps and are completely impassable. ”

Several people who ran into walls everywhere returned to their original positions in disgrace and began to discuss countermeasures there:

"And the 7th way...... It's supposed to be the exclusive passage of the Black Calamity, and I'd rather venture into elemental terrain than touch it. ”

Natsu drew a map on the ground. Straightened up and said:

"I'm the best at fire and wind magic, and maybe add another water system, so we'll focus on starting with these three routes and find a way to get through one of them."

"Impossible, meow."

The black cat said, licking the wounds on his body. It has been pitted several times by those elemental traps:

"Unless your understanding of the elements catches up with the magicians of Faens, it will be impossible to break through that terrible elemental terrain, this is not a trial or someone is teasing us, but a real moat."

Speaking of which, it sighs:

"According to the current classification of your human beings, the first half of the road to the end can barely be regarded as a black zone, but now, I am afraid it has become a red zone, which can be said to be the most dangerous place in the entire continent."

The Red Zone, also known as the "Godforsaken Land".

Both the Empire and the Order believe that they are places abandoned by the gods, all of which are occupied by races and monsters hostile to humans, and these terrible places are often blocked by some impenetrable moats, and even the top powerhouses dare not break into them alone.

"If it's just a monster, we have a lich brother here, and we can form an army of the undead to cover everyone's departure, which is a very simple matter for it."

The black cat's name for the lich became affectionate at some point:

"But if there are hundreds of kilometers of elemental traps inside, you may not be able to get through guò in your life, so it is easier to fight that knight."

"I once went to the Red Zone and wanted to cultivate inside, but was stopped by a hurricane."

The werewolf princess touched Natsu's silver hair, and she seemed to like the touch:

"The strength of that hurricane is no less than the invisible attack in the wind elemental channel, it is not something that a creature can compete with, and I didn't know blue lightning at that time, I might have died if I entered it."

"If there is a sturdy full-body armor......"

Natsu suddenly thought of the full body armor he had obtained from the Elven Treasury.

The grade of that armor is not the highest in the treasure house, and the black long knife before it is broken cannot make marks on it, and the sturdiness should still be guaranteed.

"Shhhh

She asked the black-clothed little Lori to take out the armor and slash it on it with her ice sword, and a shallow mark appeared.

"No matter how powerful it is, it's just air. Is it stronger than a +11 weapon? ”

Natsu took the helmet in the armor and cautiously came to the place where the Dead-Eyed Tyrant had been cut open, only to put it in front of him, and the helmet was cut in half.

"Not really."

She withdrew her hand in a daze, and looked at the half-helmet on it in a daze:

This kind of air blade attack is really sharper than the ice sword?

"If you can't. We'll venture through the rightmost passage, and I'll find a way to stall for time. ”

The lich said to the people:

"The speed of the Black Calamity is not particularly fast, 1 hour, with the footsteps of the three of you, you can definitely leave it far away."

"Fei Nanxi, this passage may be long, we are not you, we must eat and rest."

Xia was at a loss and said:

"Again, the purpose of our journey to the end is not to fight the Black Calamity. It's about finding the tree, so it's best to avoid fighting the other side as much as possible, and now we can't win it at all. ”

"Well, it was my negligence."

The Great Lich has long lost the concept of eating and resting, and naturally does not consider everything from the standpoint of living beings:

"In that case, there is only one way to get through the current difficulties."

"What's the solution?"

Although the other party made a mistake, Xia still admired the knowledge of the lich and asked it out loud.

The lich chuckled lowly. Stretched out a finger to the few people in front of him:

"That's it...... Learn. ”

……

"Smack!"

Natsu put the thin page aside and lay down on the improvised stone table.

"I can't do it anymore...... It's a little too hard to understand. I don't understand it at all. ”

"Hehe, my partner, is that not going to work?"

The lich who was sitting not far away meditating said:

"Magic is a subject that requires patience and a flash of inspiration, and the more advanced the knowledge, the longer you have to immerse yourself in it, otherwise you will not be able to gain it."

"Well, really."

Natsu muttered and picked up the page again. He put his hand on his head and read painfully.

She didn't know that the lich still had the potential to be a teacher, and it was a very strict one.

First, she was asked to forcibly memorize the most profound secret texts that Natyavida had taught a few people before, and when she had mastered all the grammar and phrases, she would gnaw at the handwriting on the pages little by little.

It's not just obscure. There is also a wonderful power in it, and it would take a long time just to read what is written on the page, let alone to figure out what it means.

This intense learning method burned her energy every time, and after completing the task assigned by the lich, she lay there and fell asleep, leaving no room for anything else.

"Fei Nanxi, why don't you look at it yourself."

She also vented her dissatisfaction with the undead teacher:

"Your strength is stronger than mine, and you are also above me in the field of ice magic, so it should be easier to learn, right?"

Here's how the lich replied:

"The imprisoned soul no longer allows me to learn other magic, but can only comprehend and improve myself." Pointing to its own skull, it said:

"This is the punishment and restriction imposed by the creator god on the existence of such lichs, otherwise, any lich hiding in a tomb or cave will have a great hope of being promoted to a god after a long time, and then there will be no justice and balance."

"There is no justice or balance in this world."

The silver-haired girl muttered, and had to continue to sit down and study.

But on this day, she finally couldn't help it.

"I don't think it's the best way to do it."

She nervously moved out the popular excuses among the students.

It would be a shame to forcibly abandon the Society and be sued by the Lich of Sùnatyavida:

"I need to broaden my horizons, expand my thinking, and seek truth in practice......"

"That seems to make sense."

The Lich is a sorcerer who admits death, and this justifiable reason strikes it:

"You can seek a breakthrough in a safe place, but you still have to keep 10 hours a day studying the secret text."

"Liberated!"

The silver-haired girl happily found the werewolf princess and ran with her to the giant plateau full of yellow sand.

Compared to the Elemental Regions where Black Calamity frequented, this cold sandy land became much safer after Atordoron's death, and the two of them could protect themselves together.

"Natsu, what's there to do here?"

Delia, who was pulled here, asked curiously.

"Hmm...... That's it, that ...... Would you like to try to challenge your weaknesses? ”

Xia Tu replied in a hesitant manner, she can't say that she wants to relieve stress here with her beloved girl, that would be despised.

"Huh? Do you mean let the tornado sweep me away? ”

The werewolf princess's ears drooped:

"It's a ...... that's so uncomfortable"

"Of course not!"

Natsu comforted her to:

"Let's start with a relatively smooth airflow, and little by little let you get used to the high altitude, so that you don't have dizziness."

Then someone gives her the white tights that she had prepared in advance, and after changing into them, the werewolf princess turns into a swimsuit beauty bouncing on the beach.

"Every time I see Deria, I feel healed."

Natsu took out the pages of the book and began to sit on the ground and do penance.

She is a person who can distinguish between priorities and priorities, and improving her magical knowledge is a crucial part of this mission, which directly determines everyone's success or failure, and she ran here to relax, not to be lazy like a black cat.

Every once in a while, her head was swollen and she looked up at the lovely werewolf princess, and her spirit, which was about to be drained, was immediately lifted.

The page says ...... Is it really the secret of elemental domination? ”

After this period of study, she somewhat understood some of the secret texts.

The content on the page is very intuitive, and the color of the font corresponds to the attributes of the elemental magic, such as the wind element is cyan, the fire element is red, and the earth element is yellow...... And so on.

What's maddening is that the arrangement of these secret texts is not fixed, and every time her eyes are gone, they become new sentences when she looks at them, which directly leads to the difficulty of reading.

"The last time I wrote about the wind, it suddenly turned into fire, and this arrangement is really inexplicable."

Xia secretly cursed the ancient magician's cultivation methods, but in order to get through those dangerous barriers, he had to continue to work hard to see.

"Either way, it's not in vain." She thought to herself:

"If you learn the Elemental Domination, not only will you have a great hope of breaking through the Elemental Passage, but you can also greatly increase your strength."

"Ordinary magic and physical attacks have no effect on demigod-level powerhouses, but this is a magic god's stunt; Even if I'm a little worse off, Black Calamity isn't completely immune to its powers. ”

"Speaking of which...... How did that Dharma Saint succeed hundreds of years ago? ”

While thinking about her thoughts, she threw herself into the arduous study, and soon forgot about this question. (To be continued......) R1292
