Chapter 250, Heavenly Punishment
Hearing Laikaon's roar, Xiao Yan was just about to rush forward, but Calisto, who was standing in the middle of the gear circle, suddenly shouted: "Wait, Parin, don't move now, there is a change!" ”
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and stiffly stopped the body that rushed forward. Before he could ask, Calisto had already said: "My hour hand tells me that after 22 seconds, there will be a new change." My current level doesn't allow me to manipulate time or use time magic, but I can sense changes in time, even if it's not explicit. ”
22 seconds is indeed not a very long time, although Xiao Yan can completely cut that giant claw from the body of the demon rhizome in one time in this time, but what about after that? The purpose of the three of them was to kill the main body, not to deal with this mere claw, if too much energy was put into this giant claw, how would the three trialists deal with the sudden change that Calristo was talking about?
Xiao Yan took a step back abruptly, watched Lekaon insert the big bow back into the ground, and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?" ”
"Feelings? It's not a weapon that makes people relax. Listen, Palin, I already believe that this weapon is indeed a near-legendary weapon, and just look at the amount of strength it requires, and we simply can't fully harness it right now. It sounds very humiliating that a trialist like me can't handle a well-calibrated weapon, but it's true. ”
Laikaon's nagging didn't last long, 22 seconds passed in a flash, and just as Laikaon was about to say something, Calisto sensed a change in response.
Another giant claw burst out of the cave and grabbed the one who looked badly injured. A wrist that cannot be used flexibly even after multiple repairs. Pull with force. After a loud roar in the cave, the claws that originally depicted the summoning circle were completely pulled off, and from the wound on the wrist, new dark green branches continued to pour out, as if those blood vessels and meridians were still trying to return to normal.
This situation surprised Xiao Yan, and at the same time, he was deeply amazed by Calisto's prediction, if Calristo hadn't made this prediction before, Xiao Yan's attacks just now might eventually become a meaningless waste. When he is really needed, he will become a useless soft-footed shrimp.
After the giant claw behind dragged his predecessor back to the cave like lightning, and after a few seconds, two slightly smaller claws suddenly appeared on the cave wall, and then exerted force at the same time. While crushing the stone rock of the cave wall, he slowly dragged a huge head out of the cave.
Xiao Yan couldn't describe his feelings for a while, and as soon as this huge head appeared, it was like a dark cloud, obscuring the light in the air. In the dim shadows, the head, which looked more like a carved scrap, was constantly fluttering and falling debris. Among the three eyes of completely different sizes, there was something that Xiao Yan was extremely familiar within.
Cruel and violent. These things, Xiao Yan had seen in the wasteland trial Shijie, and he had seen them in the eyes of the betrayer named Sophie, and now, he saw them more realistically in the eyes of this monster.
The monster moved its head and slowly climbed outward, and a large number of branches were spreading out of the skull, which was half the size of the cross-section of the cave. These branches stretched out wantonly in the space, and the shijie outside seemed to be full of temptation for these branches, so much so that the branches even hinged into each other, and even fought each other for some more haode positions. A large number of broken branches dried up in the air and then fell quickly, proving that this kind of fighting was always there, and that the battle was extremely fierce.
As for the head of this monster, I have to say that it is full of absurdity, especially after this head completely appears in the eyes of the trialists, this sense of absurdity is even more obvious. Yes, it was not vicious or bloodthirsty, and it was completely different from the impression of a demonic creation, and a face completely in the style of a brutalist oil painting appeared on the monster's head. The three eyes are of different sizes, and the shape is completely different, one eye occupies the middle part of the skull, and even the nose is squeezed to the side, and this eye itself is not regular, small at the top and big at the bottom, the huge eyeballs seem to be unable to withstand gravity, always hanging directly below, it seems to be a little ungodly, but a little glance, it will make people feel upset and depressed.
The left eye is a slender slit that emerges from where it should belong to the ear, presenting a downward curve, bypassing the bridge of the nose, if the raised part is the bridge of the nose, from a certain point of view, this eye seems to have the effect of eyes, ears, and mouth at the same time, at least this downward curved arc will give people the feeling that the monster in front of them is silently sneering. Of course, if it weren't for the two eyeballs rolling back and forth in this eye, Xiao Yan would only think that it was a crack at most, and would not be able to associate it with the eye.
As for the right eye, it is the only normal eye, but it is located high above the right side of the head, and there is a huge gap between the other eyes, and the pupil in that eye occasionally sweeps around, and the rest of the time it stares coldly upwards, seemingly indifferent to anything.
As for the bridge of the nose that was squeezed together by the two eyes, it was not absurd, and the mouth that grew vertically and extended to the neck part, making the whole face completely distorted.
This is not a ridiculous face, but an absurd face, such a face does not seem to be lethal, but once it appears, Xiao Yan can feel the constant smell of blood around him suddenly appear, suddenly thick, and even turned into a viscous plasma, his hands and feet have become extremely sluggish in this smell of blood, and even breathing has become a little difficult.
"Hell, this isn't a level 5 monster, this monster has a level of at least level 8!"
Laikaon whispered suddenly.
It was only at this time that Xiao Yan realized that the Weishenmeshijie Tree had not given them any hints about the quest. That's because, although this monster is considered a hidden mission, the level gap between it and Xiao Yan is too large, and without complete preparation, Shijie Tree does not encourage trialists to risk with their lives.
This is very similar to the Lux series of missions in the London Trials Shijie, because the battle between the two legendary awakened people is not just anyone can get involved in it, so although the Lux mission has always existed, the Shijie Tree never gives any hints. Either you're lucky, or you're a well-prepared team, or you don't think anyone will be able to activate the Lux series of missions and finally get involved in the battle of the Legendary Awakened.
The same is true of Shijie in this trial, Shijie Tree is not willing to let Xiao Yan and their level trialists take the initiative to die, so they have been suppressing the task and not releasing it. Perhaps, with the consideration of the Shijie Tree, it may be that he hopes that Xiao Yan and them can leave in time, so that the demon rhizome can return to normal.
However, Xiao Yan and Laikaon's persistence allowed the demon rhizome to finally appear, and by this time, it was no longer Shijie's tree that could solve the problem by actively intervening. If any big problem can be smoothed out by the Shijie Tree, it will only make the trialist develop a dependency mentality, and a trialist like Zuihou will never be able to mature, nor can he become a truly useful awakened person.
While learning not to arbitrarily get involved in tasks that are beyond their control, the trialist must also learn to solve the troubles he causes by himself, and not think that he can always be safe and worry-free if he is in the trial shijie created by the Shijie tree.
Therefore, when the head of the demon rhizome was fully displayed in front of everyone, Shijie Tree finally did not suppress the task, but released the task in the corner of the eyes of the three trialists at the first time.
"You activated the Quest: Demon's Vein"
"Mission Name: Demon Vein"
"Grade: S"
"The dying demon turned his body into underground passages that could be used by later demons to travel to various places, forming a situation that could rival Udtrasil"
"Your efforts have made the demon corpse in this place have to deal with it, of course, it is only the corpse of the demon, most of the strength has disappeared, what you need to deal with is a severely weakened demon"
"Fight this demon corpse until you kill it once and for all"
"Everything you do, Utdrasil will pay close attention"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan let out a long breath, if there is still a retribution of Lux in his hand, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope, and according to the current situation, if the opponent really has level 8 or above, then the only thing that can cause damage to this guy is the two merger skills, and how much effect these two merge skills can have, Xiao Yan has no bottom in his heart.
Calristo seemed very calm at this time, looking at the monster, she made a rare movement to push her glasses, and as the body behind the head slowly moved, a long ray of light began to appear in the female trialist's hand.
"We need a helper, a remote helper, and if there is such a helper, we still have a chance!"
Calristo said as he condensed the light in his hand into a dazzling spear.
Xiao Yan glanced at the demon text not far away that was still condensed in the air and did not collapse due to the impact of that demon's rhizome, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of creatures can be summoned by that summoning circle?" ”
"Theoretically, any creature can be used, as long as you can use this circle and make your own requests, but there are two prerequisites, the other party is willing, and you know the other party's name and location."
"Does this circle have to be written in demonic script? I mean, if I want to activate that demon summoning circle, do I have to use demon text? ”
As soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, a dazzling lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the sky, and it slashed straight down, and while dealing a heavy blow to that huge head, it also completely split the demon summoning circle. (To be continued......)
