Chapter 8: The Lesson of the Special Undead Blood
The thirteenth day of the Traveler's Coming.
The scorching sun scorched the lifeless earth mercilessly, and many travelers had to build rudimentary buildings with boulders scattered across the Gobi to create some shade in order to escape the heat.
However, Mo Wen and his party did not have to think about this, the fierce sunlight could not penetrate the huge and thick dark cloud above their heads. Mo Wen, who was in the shadows, could even enjoy a hint of fresh breeze - not the biting yin wind at night, but the kind of breeze that brought people a moderate coolness and just lifted the hair on his forehead.
However, Mo Wen's mood at this time was not very good.
Since the tenth day he came to this world, not only have the undead come to harass him all the time, but the time of the undead raid every night has become extremely irregular - yesterday he had waited all night for the routine undead raid, but as soon as he fell asleep, the annoying skeletons rose from the dirt and launched a desperate raid against them in the dawn light.
"Hey, fatigue tactics." Mo Wen muttered to himself, and then spent two universal points ordering a bottle of chilled juice to Wan Ling - it is said that it contains a small amount of eaux-de-vie, which is not only nutritious but also refreshing.
[In the end, those two little guys can't be alone...... Otherwise I wouldn't be so tired. Mo Wen let out a long sigh and drank the clear liquid in the cup that shone with a pale green glow.
The cold liquid moistened his dry lips and crossed his throat, and the slightly sweet and sour taste relaxed Mo Wen, who was a little bored.
[This thing looks very good......] Recalling the faint fragrance, the man who lay on the stone wall with his hands comfortably asked, looking up at the gray dark clouds above his head narrowed his eyes slightly.
[Recently, the little tail of that demon girl has been getting higher and higher, she should have tasted it bitterly. Mo Wen carefully played with the jade pendant he hung on his chest, and the two small characters in the seal font of 'Mo Wen' glittered in the sun.
[Let her know that in this world, she is not a heroine, nor is she a little princess who is spoiled by her elders! ] 】
……
Although Mo Wen wants to teach the proud red-haired Lori a lesson, this lesson is not to be given if you want to--although it is okay to preach directly, but the effect of such words is far less than the persuasion after suffering, but the latter needs to have a chance.
Luckily, the opportunity to wait for Mo Wen came soon.
……
On the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the Traveler's arrival, when the red sun was setting, a large number of undead launched a surprise attack on Mo Wen and the three of them, led by three pitch-black ghosts that constantly changed their shapes.
Resentful Soul Aggregation: A two-star elite, a large number of ghosts have been entangled together for some special reason, and you can't tell what it is good at...... The only constant is the thirst for blood and the hatred of life. (A guy with multiple personalities dies and is impregnated by the power of death and becomes something similar, friendly reminder, don't underestimate this guy, just like ordinary people can't underestimate mental illness, with your way of thinking, you can never predict its actions.) )
[Three two-star elites and a large number of one- and two-star ordinary miscellaneous fish...... What a time for these guys to come! Mo Wen, who was standing on the wall, smiled slightly after observing the enemy's intelligence, carefully put away the jade pendant in his hand, and then turned over and jumped down.
"Lias, Moeka!" Mo Wen shouted softly: "Ready to meet the enemy!" ”
"Got it!" The red-haired Lori jumped out of the tent: "Is that the guy?" Watch me clean them up! ”
[This mentality...... Sitting on the battlefield is definitely the first to die. Although the upturned tail and the corners of the mouth can make many Loli control their hearts relaxed, Mo Wen, who does not control Lori, has not been affected at all. [After overcoming the fear of battle, triumph breeds.] Ay...... Immature children are trouble! 】
Compared with the excited Lias, Moeka's performance was much better, and the silent silver-haired Lori quietly walked out of the camp tent, carefully watching the enemy a hundred meters away, like a calm hunter.
"Hey, the little girl is very confident." A smile of unknown meaning hung on the corner of Mo Wen's mouth, "Then the bone frame will be handed over to you this time, they are not very strong in the sun...... Hurry up and clean up, it's dinner time in a while. ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The red-haired Lori quickly recited the incantation, and two black flames appeared on her hands, like pompoms in the hands of cheerleaders.
[Don't ask what exactly you want to do?] Seeing his new friend rush into the enemy group with a small fist wrapped in black flames, the silver-haired Lori who followed behind secretly frowned, although Mo Wen showed strength and experience above the two, but she still did not recognize Mo Wen's status so far. [It is impossible for him not to see Lias's dangerous mentality, but why should he get used to her? 】
Recalling Mo Wen's mysterious smile not long ago, the silver-haired Lori suddenly had a bad premonition.
[I hope I'm too careful.] Silver-haired Lori quickly buried the doubts in her heart, distraction is not a good habit during battle, and Billias's much more mature Moe Xiang naturally understands this.
[Little girl! You're bound to learn a profound lesson...... Even if those bones are not strong, I am a professional when it comes to yin people. Mo Wen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lias who had rushed into the enemy group. [But which trick is better?] 】
The red-haired Lori who was remembered by Mo Wen didn't think about it so much, after Mo Wen's devil training and ten days of actual combat, the red-haired Lori's demonic martial arts have reached the rough from the beginning. Now, Lias is using her unskilled enchantment magic to bless herself with beneficial buffs and start to show off her demonic martial arts that seem to be full of loopholes in Mo Wen.
But for the undead who have lost their minds, this is enough.
Lori, wielding a flame fist, uses her speed and size to complete one kill after another - although she can't accurately extinguish the soul fire of the undead with every blow like Moeka, but the fiercely corrosive Demon Flame can easily destroy the mobility of these bone frames.
Then they will have to wait for eternal sleep.
However, the crushing did not last long, and the three leading elite monsters quickly caught up with the two Lori's who charged. The abilities of these revenant aggregates were indeed as extraordinary as Mo Wen had seen with the Eye of Fate, and strange tricks and strange techniques emerged one after another, coupled with the assistance of countless junior brothers around them, they actually blocked the momentum of the two loli charges.
This made the red-haired Lori, who has been smooth sailing recently, a little at a loss.
[These guys are in trouble! Another punch was blocked by the enemy's joint efforts, and the red-haired Lori grinded her teeth fiercely, and the long-term futility of the battle made Lias extremely irritable.
"Moeka, you stand back!" The red-haired Lori, who was already in a very bad mood, informed her comrades: "I'm going to burn them all to ashes!" ”
“…… I see. Feeling the violent demonic power in Lias's body, the silver-haired Lori hesitated for a moment, and then retreated sharply. After all, with her current strength, there was no way to stop her rampage companions.
[I hope that guy can protect Leas.] Moeka worriedly looks at her friends who are alone in the face of many dead spirits.
"Demon Enchantment!" The red-haired Lori held her hands flat and her fingers spread out, and a dark, translucent barrier kept the incoming necromancers out. Neither a swinging bone claw nor a whistling spell could penetrate the thin barrier—at best, it could only shake it.
The difference in strength level is not something that can be easily surpassed...... At least these bone racks are hard to do.
Prepare to accept my wrath! Red-haired Lori estimated the strength of the enchantment, and then began chanting the incantation aloud.
"The King of the Night, the Lord of the Demon Realm, calls upon the glory of his ancestors with the blood of the last descendants, and regains the power of the ancients!"
The red-haired Lori chanted loudly the words that Mo Wen didn't understand, and the pitch-black light with a faint aura of destruction slowly spread from the magic circle under her feet. As Lori's crisp voice grew louder, the black light turned into a dancing flame and swirled over Lias's head.
"Elias. Roar, the name of Jimonri, the flames from the abyss of the Demon Realm! Large beads of sweat began to appear on the red-haired Lori's little white face, but she was smiling.
"Flame of the Pure End!"
The demonic flames surged, different from the low-level and medium-level flames that Lias had used before, the pitch-black flames with a faint aura of destruction could make Mo Wen feel tricky...... As for the undead?
He was sentenced to death by Mo Wen in his heart.
[Hmm...... Do you really want me to do it myself? Looking at the red-haired Lori, Mo Wen secretly mentioned spiritual power. [It's still a bit difficult to break through this level of flame with my current level...... Do you have to wait for next time? 】
[Wait...... Looks like I don't need to do anything. Mo Wen, who was staring at the battlefield closely, soon noticed that something was wrong.
[It seems that the undead who came to attack this time still have two brushes.] The man who had already jumped off the wall and came to the silver-haired Lori slowly drew his sword. [Now that little girl's magic power is consumed by half, just wait for danger to appear, and I can act...... What level of injury should be left to her? 】
Just when Mo Wen was thinking about his Lori lesson plan, the red-haired Lori who was on the battlefield was panting for breath because of the excessive exertion.
"Hah...... Ha...... These nasty guys should be dead now. Lias's tired little face had a hint of smugness on it. [I'm a superior demon Lias, how can I not deal with these lowly undead? 】
But the reality is often not as good as it could be.
Just when Lias was proud, a pitch-black figure tore through the same pitch-black Demon Flame and pounced on the red-haired Lori who was in a state of intoxication.
Extremely unstable resentful soul aggregates: three-star elites, three two-star revenant soul aggregates have to choose to merge according to instinct under the pressure of external forces, although they have no thoughts to avoid the conflict of wills, but there are still great hidden dangers in its existence. (Although it is a flawed product, its combat effectiveness is unquestionable, and it will always be the most dangerous because of its unpredictability.) )
[Oh no, Lias is in danger!] After seeing the black ghost, Moe Xiang rushed out without thinking, but before she could run two steps, a strong feeling of dizziness hit her brain, making her steps stagnate.
[What's wrong with this little girl? Is there a secret wound? Mo Wen frowned slightly, and then looked at the black ghost aggregate that was approaching the red-haired Lori. [Now that girl ......]
[Not true!] Mo Wen's face, which had a faint smile, turned iron blue in an instant, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
……
The so-called plan couldn't catch up with the plan, and even Mo Wen never thought that the resentful soul aggregate would actually use that kind of trick.
Question: What skills can be easily used as long as they have mastered the energy system, and can be extremely destructive?
Maybe you'll answer the shockwave, the energy ball, etc...... But now this unstable spectral aggregate will be using none of the usual tricks of all of the above.
Rather, it blew itself up.
Self-detonation, a blow that bets on its own existence, produces different power according to different techniques...... However, the self-detonation method used by the three-star undead in front of him was undoubtedly the lowest level.
But for a demon Lori whose magic and physical strength have been consumed for most of her time, such power is enough to be deadly.
[Damn...... Miscalculated! Feeling the frenzied aura of the ghost not far away, Mo Wen couldn't help but speed up his pace. [This level of self-sacrifice attack has just finished the ultimate move, and Lias will definitely not be able to resist it...... I let her be taught a lesson, but I didn't let her die! 】
In the middle of the field, Lias looked in amazement at the black monster that burst out from the demonic flames she had summoned. Although it happened suddenly, Lias, who had experienced more than ten days of actual combat, was not without a reaction, and the pale black enchantment appeared in front of the red-haired Lori again, but this time it did not succeed in blocking the enemy's advance for the master. The Spirit-Of-Soul Aggregate forcibly smashed through Lias's barrier with the chaotic energy flow that had enveloped its body before it exploded, and came to her.
【…… Why did it get so strong? Just when the red-haired Lori was still surprised by the sudden strength of the enemy, one arm took the stunned Lias in her arms.
The next moment, the round black undead in front of her inflated rapidly like a balloon.
[It seems that I can only resist ......] Mo Wen, who was holding Lori in one hand, was holding a horizontal sword with one hand, and the spiritual power of his whole body frantically converged into the cloud shadow.
Bang!
Sand and dust rose everywhere, forming a huge mushroom cloud on the desolate Gobi.
……
"Looks like a traveler is using a trick like dooming together...... The undead at this stage should not have this level of power. A traveler looks at the giant mushroom cloud on the horizon. It's a pity that those generic points are gone. ”
"I guess it's a lone ranger." A yellow-skinned traveler with a cigarette in his mouth next to him smiled indifferently: "Not all travelers are organized, and in the face of the continuous harassment of these undead, the iron man can't hold on." ”
"Boss, do you think that traveler will leave something behind when he dies?" The other traveler's eyes gleamed with greed: "There should be a lot of good things about the guy who can unleash this level of attack." ”
“…… It's a self-destruct attack, but can you be sure that the one who unleashed the self-detonation attack must have been the traveler and not the trap he created? The man behind the three spoke: "Even if it is a self-detonation attack released by a traveler, what do you think will be complete under the energy impact of that intensity?" ”
"But Boss, if there is anything that can survive, it must be a treasure......" The traveler was still unrelenting, "Even if he had that level of strength, he would definitely not be the opponent of the four of us." ”
"You have a point...... No traveler wants to make such a big move. The man who was obviously the leader nodded slightly: "Then let's go over and have a look." ”
"Also, we have to be at our best." The man grabbed his subordinates: "Step by step, don't rush forward." ”
……
"Ahem, ahem...... Lias! cough ...... "Before the smoke and dust cleared, the silver-haired Lori rushed directly into the dust mist at the center of the explosion, and soon, a vague figure appeared in front of her.
"Ahem...... Your little friend is fine. Mo Wen smiled bitterly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, put down the red-haired Lori in his arms, and then patted his little face, "Tell me, that girl is worried about you." ”
"Moeka, I'm fine!" Lias, who returned to the ground with her feet, hugged Moeka, who rushed over, then turned her head and said timidly, "You...... You okay. ”
"It's not serious...... Let's go back to the tent and prepare dinner. ”
“…… Well, got it. The red-haired Lori secretly glanced at Mo Wen, but after not finding anything abnormal, she had to let go of the worries in her heart and pull her little friend back to the camp.
[Man is not as good as heaven, no one can control everything in his hands...... I'm so arrogant. Mo Wen smiled bitterly, watching the two loli jump into the wall one after another, and casually spit out the dirty blood in his chest in the corner.
[What a profound lesson, for me. 】
