Chapter 168: Lady White
Chapter 168: Lady White
The dragon's wings swept over their heads, and Su Jing held Sadako Yamamura in his arms, her white cloak darting across the snow, blending in with the white academy. The universal item card, which could conjure up any costume he could, helped him a lot, and there was nothing more useful than a prop to hide his tracks when two dozen dragons were chasing after him. Su Jing used this huge cloak to cover his dark brown batwing wings, and used his gliding skills to run across the snowfield.
A grove appeared in front of him, and he made a slight turn and glided over there.
"Over there, there should be some ancient crypts...... Let's dodge. Sadako Yamamura put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear. The cold lips touched his ears, and the wet hair of the two snowflakes was intertwined, making Su Jing still feel calm on the way to escape. Believing in Sadako Yamamura's spiritual perception and judgment, he sped up the speed of his march.
After the two of them knocked down five dragons in one go, Su Jing and Sadako Yamamura were unsurprisingly chased and killed by the dragon group headquarters. The dragons immediately gave up on their continued destruction of Mosar's territory, sparing the few lives left there, and immediately chased in the direction where the two men converged. In the face of this difference in the strength of Mount Tai, the two wisely chose to retreat temporarily. Sadako Yamamura gave up on the ghoul troops that could still be used, gave them the most reluctant "hidden" order, put them into standby mode, and waited for them to wake up to continue fighting for themselves when needed in the future. Then the two decided to get rid of these big lizards in the sky first......
Although they killed more than one giant dragon in one fell swoop, neither Su Jing nor Sadako Yamamura would rashly throw themselves into the center of the dangerous vortex...... Well, Su Jing does that occasionally. Even in some cases. They can exert their combat power above the dragons, but they can single out two dozen powerful dragons in one go. The success rate of this unconspiracy could drop to less than ten percent in one fell swoop - indeed, Su Jing thought that there was about a five percent chance that he could really succeed in slaying the dragon in one fell swoop. In the case of extreme luck.
In fact, according to his own estimates. After getting used to the aerial combat with the dragons, he should be able to hunt five dragons alone...... This is his most pessimistic estimate of himself. After regaining their ability to fly, the dragons' innate advantage was greatly negated, and the sheer size they had left to rely on was a weakness that reduced their agility. Su Jing believes that the only trouble for the dragon is two points: the first is its vigorous vitality and extremely strong body, which is extremely difficult to solve in a short period of time; The second is their dragon roar, a magic that can inflict all kinds of strange effects that even surpass those of high-level magic.
Generally, dragons only use their roars to fight each other in battles with their own kind. And when it comes to humans, it is rarely used - a large part of the reason is because it is simply not necessary. As long as they have their powerful breath, they can solve most of the problems, and the innate and powerful talent of Dragon Roar, this advanced skill that directly touches the origin of the world, there is no need to use it on these weak guys.
In previous battles, Su Jing rarely let the opponent live enough to perform a dragon's roar. He tried his best to kill with a short, sharp blow, and dragged it until the opponent used the dragon's roar, although defeat was unlikely, but it would definitely cause some trouble for himself......
The white cloak sneaked into the snowy forest. Su Jing used her legs as a cushion, and landed on the snow with a thud, rubbing two deep and long marks on the ground. After stumbling a few steps to his feet, he hugged Sadako Yamamura and looked left and right.
"Two o'clock direction. The distance is about three hundred meters. Sadako Yamamura closed her eyes and seemed to enjoy the feeling of being held by his princess. But her eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, and the expression on her face looked like something confused. "Wait...... The aura there felt a little ...... The atmosphere, or rather the color, is a little wrong. ”
She chose a vocabulary.
"It feels...... It's cold. ”
"It can't be more troublesome than these big lizards overhead." Su Jing pointed to the top of his head. A huge dragon was flapping its wings as it passed. It looked like it was surveying the woods with suspicion, wondering if the two dangerous foes might be hiding there.
"Hmm...... It's also ......."
Su Jing ran silently on the snow for more than ten seconds. Then I found that in the forest in front of me, there were several people dressed as robbers who were on fire. In the midst of this, a woman was fending off the attacks of three or four other bandits, and it seemed that she was already stumbling, and it was only a matter of time before she was defeated. The Wyvern's passing bought her a few seconds to breathe, and as the wide wings flapped the air over their heads, everyone couldn't help but look up at the beasts passing in the sky, and it wasn't until seven or eight seconds later that anyone remembered to continue fighting.
As a result, the battle continued for about ten seconds, and then a torrent of breath with death frost engulfed the entire forest battlefield, and everyone present, without exception, was made into ice sculptures on the spot.
After killing everyone it found, the dragon flailed its wings in satisfaction and climbed up, then flew away.
About a minute later, Su Jing and Sadako Yamamura, who were hiding in the shadows, walked out. Su Jing checked the unfortunate guys who were affected, and they were all dead, including the woman who seemed to have a lot of stories, and she also turned into a lump of ice sculptures, and a large piece fell off when she knocked it.
"It looks like it was supposed to be a hidden mission...... Su Jing shook his head regretfully, and Sadako Yamamura pointed to the entrance to an underground cave about seventy or eighty meters away.
"Okay...... I always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. I must have done this task when I was playing the game......" Su Jing pressed his temple and fell into deep thought. In the sky, another giant dragon flew by, and he immediately woke up and ran into the cave with Sadako Yamamura.
As soon as they entered the cave, they both discovered the cold atmosphere that enveloped the interior of the cave. It is in this environment that all kinds of unclean products are most likely to be born, and the interior of the cave shows signs of recent human life, and the shoddy wooden shelves stand up to the rocks and dirt above the cave. The flames in the oil lamps were still flickering, and there were torches in the walls.
There seemed to be the sound of someone moving around in the depths of the cavern. Two robber-dressed men walked out one after the other. Seeing Su Jing and Sadako Yamamura who appeared inexplicably, they subconsciously reached out and pulled out their weapons. But any of the adventurers on the other side reacted faster than they did. As soon as Su Jing's hand flipped, a small iron dart popped out and pierced the throat of one of the robbers, while the other robber was bleeding from his mouth and nose, rolled his eyes and fell down.
"Well, there's progress." Su Jing patted Sadako Yamamura's head, and the latter smiled.
In fact, in his heart, Su Jing was a little surprised. In his impression, Sadako Yamamura is not a person who likes to kill. Many times she is trying to protect herself, and she will hurt others only when she is forced to do so. After constant training. She should have been able to control the strength of her abilities, in this case, he thought that she would use her mental power to control the robber, or use her own psychic impact to make the other party lose her will or something......
But she was merciless and ended the other party's life neatly, and that smile even had a hint of pleasure......
Su Jing switched to the psionic horizon and observed his companion. The pale white aura dimmed slightly, but the "light pressure" was more powerful and oppressive than he had felt before. It seems that Sadako Yamamura has made great progress in her mental abilities during this time. The adventurous life had certainly grown her, and to some extent had worn away her original naivety and purity. From a practical point of view, this should be a good thing, but Su Jing felt a little melancholy inexplicably.
On her chest, there was an object that emitted a very strong magical aura. It looks like an ornament, a powerful magic item. As if noticing Su Jing's gaze, Sadako Yamamura turned her head. Following his gaze to her chest, she suddenly covered her mouth two seconds later.
“…… A Jing ...... You're not meant to be here......"
“……………… Wait a minute. I think you have a great misunderstanding of my personality. How come I am as ...... as an animal in heat anytime and anywhere in your eyes?"
After this little episode, the two moved on. It looks like it once collapsed. The robbers then organized themselves to rediscover and sort out the ruins buried under the crypt. Regardless of asking, it can be known that it is for the treasure inside, but if even one of them knows a little bit about the simplest necromancy, he can know that the treasure in this tomb is not so easy to hold.
Along the way, they killed a dozen bandits, and these mortals could no longer cause them any trouble. Even an elite samurai army of hundreds of people is only difficult to exercise after a meal in the eyes of four-star adventurers. For adventurers of this level, the real threat comes from powerful military-level creatures (such as dragons), as well as enemy combinations with special skills, or some extremely powerful strategic weapons.
Entering the depths of the ruins in the cave, Su Jing and Sadako Yamamura noticed that on the edge of a campsite, there was a robber who looked like a scar on his face lying on the ground, and a large pool of blood was dripping from under him. His hands were stretched out far away, as if he was trying to grasp something when he was dying.
“…… I remember. Su Jing suddenly spoke, and he laughed, "It's really a coincidence, this is one of the goals of our side quest, the crypt of the Pale Lady." ”
Sadako Yamamura also reacted quickly, this is indeed Mosar's territory, and the cold environment, the betrayal and killing of robbers among each other...... Everything was like the mission of "Lady White" that he had once mentioned.
A group of robbers dug into the tomb and took the weapon that sealed the evil spirit, the Pale Sword, from the altar, and then under the influence of the evil spirit, they began to fight for the long sword, and then continued to ...... Oh yes, the story didn't go that far. One of the thieves, a tiger man who is haunted by the Pale Lady's nightmares, decides to steal the sword and put it back on the altar to seal the evil spirit. In order to take the sword, the tigermen, who had lost most of their minds, attacked directly and killed the leader of the robbers.
"If I'm not mistaken, in the deepest part of the tomb, that unfortunate tiger friend has been killed by the Pale Lady." Su Jing snapped his fingers, and the crisp sound echoed inside the cave, and there was a faint echo, which seemed to bring back the faint sound of a woman crying.
"That's right...... The spirit's energy response was strong, and it was at the altar in front of it. Sadako Yamamura felt slightly.
After about two minutes of advancement, the two of them reached the deepest part of the crypt. If you are an ordinary adventurer, you may be a little nervous. But for adventurers who already fully understand the details of the other party and are confident, coming here is as easy and comfortable as sightseeing, as for the pale lady who has shocked Mosar's territory for hundreds of thousands of years - I'm sorry, there is a (former) demon Miss Sadako Yamamura who is more dangerous than her by Su Jing's side. Belonging to the same type of existence, the Pale Lady is just a roadside town legend that can probably lure lost children and use nightmares and spirits to induce and affect mortals, while Sadako Yamamura is a high-ranking demon who can violently crush the ghoul Lord with pure mental power, and has even single-handedly overturned the sanity of more than a thousand people (although there was another Sadako supporting it remotely at the time), both in terms of strength and combat record, she can throw this Hakudi lady out of five streets.
Because of the above reasons, although the atmosphere at the scene did look very gloomy, Su Jing and Sadako did not feel a little nervous at all.
More than ten meters in front, on the black altar lay the corpse of a young tiger man who had lost his life, holding a slender long sword in his claws, and at the height of the altar, a white cloud was coiled. It doesn't seem right to say that it is a cloud, because this fog faintly shows the figure of a woman in white.
She looked down condescendingly at Su Jing and Sadako, her face blurred in the clouds. The ghost let out a soft scream, and the rest of the mist began to coalesce, turning into small clones and coming at them.
"Uh...... It seems to be a little stronger than we expected. Sadako turned sideways and dodged an ice pick.
"If you think about it, although she can only exert potential psychic hints on people, it seems that she should be slightly more threatening considering that she has been in a sealed state...... Let's be a little more serious. ”
Su Jing bent down, then rushed to the altar like lightning, picked up the pale blade from the tigerman's hand, and put it back on the shelf. (To be continued......)
