Chapter 19: The Hengduan Mountains (2)
When Don Juan was attacked, Caroline also reacted, only to see her toe lightly, and her body emitted a faint cyan light of wind fighting energy, and she instantly jumped into the air. She tapped her toe on Don Juan's shoulder, and crossed Don Juan, chasing the black-winged bird that was bounced off by Don Juan's battle armor. Wind fighting energy can increase a person's speed and make the body lighter, Caroline obviously made the most of this, although she borrowed a little force from Don Juan's shoulder, but it didn't affect Don Juan too much. The long sword in her hand swung and sent a sharp arc of cyan light towards the black-winged bird. Although it was a flying demonic beast, it had just been bounced off by Don Juan's battle armor, and it couldn't control its body shape at all, so it couldn't dodge Caroline's sword at all, and it was directly slashed to the ground. The defensive power of the body of the ninth-level peak demonic beast is comparable to the defensive power of the protective body fighting qi of the average ninth-level peak martial artist, and this black-winged bird cannot block Caroline's attack with the defensive power of its body alone, so Caroline took the long sword and left a deep scar directly on its body, and bright red blood suddenly sprayed out of it.
Caroline struck a blow, then jumped up again, landed on the black-winged bird from above, and slashed at the black-winged bird with the force of gravity's fall. She knew very well that to deal with a flying demonic beast like the Blackwinged Bird, she had to take advantage of its attack and confine it to the ground, otherwise if it returned to the air, it would directly use the ninth-level magic, in that case, they would have no way to stop it at all.
The black-winged bird sensed that the situation was not good, and suddenly raised its head, and let out three calls of different lengths, and with its chirp, the dark elements in the air quickly gathered around it, forming a black hemispherical light curtain, blocking the trajectory of Caroline's long sword. It was a dark magical shadow shield with a strength of level eight, which was what this black-winged bird was able to do in such a short period of time.
Caroline's sword slashed at the shadow shield, shattering the magical barrier, but failing to hurt the Blackwing. It was with this effort that the black-winged bird got a chance to breathe, flapping its wings, wanting to take advantage of this momentary gap to escape to the sky, and then attack again. Caroline was castrated, unable to launch the next attack immediately, unable to stop it. But at this moment, two swords with blue light stabbed at the black-winged bird's sides at the same time, and these two swords were aimed at its ascending path, and if it insisted on ascending, its wings would be injured. Therefore, it had to abandon the lift-off. These are the two sisters, Ivy and Irene, although their speed is not as fast as Caroline, but Caroline has been pestering the black-winged bird for a short time, which is enough for them to rush over, just blocking the black-winged bird's way into the air.
Seeing that he had not succeeded in pulling away from the distance, the black-winged bird's eyes were full of fierceness, and he opened his mouth to let out a chirp of different tones, which was extremely sharp. As it chirped, intense dark elements gathered on it, and then turned into black ripples that radiated out in all directions, spreading to Caroline and the others.
Caroline was the first to come into contact with this circle of black ripples, and when she saw the black ripples spread to her, she suddenly stiffened, and the cyan body on her body rippled layer by layer, and her body seemed to be pushed by something, and retreated uncontrollably. Then, Ivy and Sister Erin, who were on either side of it, were also pushed to the side by the black ripples, and couldn't stop taking more than ten steps back.
This magic is usually used by dark magicians to deal with warriors who have been bullied close to them, and the lethality is not strong, but it contains a strong impact that can knock the opponent back. The body of a mage is much more fragile than that of a warrior, and the attack power of the close range cannot be compared to that of a warrior. Therefore, once a magician is close to a martial artist of the same level, it is almost a certain death. And in order to avoid this situation as much as possible, there will be magic such as Shadow Ripple that can widen the distance between the opponent and the other party, just to give the magician more time to fight against the warrior.
Under the impact of the shadow ripples, Caroline, Ivy, and Irene all stepped back, closing the distance between them and the Blackwinged Bird. And this black-winged bird took advantage of this time to rush into the air, as long as it was out of the attack range of Caroline and the others, it could directly use the ninth-level magic to kill them. At this time, Caroline looked at the rising black-winged bird, gritted her teeth, stretched out her left hand to her waist, and then waved her hand, and a cyan light swayed out of her hand at an almost invisible speed, with a strong sound of breaking through the air, directly shooting at the black-winged bird. In mid-air, the black-winged bird shook and let out a cry of pain, and it lost its balance in the air and fell crookedly. Don Juan, who had not yet had time to come, saw that one of its wings was still flapping, but the other wing could only shake slightly, and it was completely unable to move, as if it was useless.
Seeing the black-winged bird fall to the ground, Don Juan and Caroline, who had returned after the Shadow Ripple had disappeared, ran directly towards it. Seeing the four attacking, the black-winged bird waved its moving wings with difficulty, as if it wanted to test whether it could fly, and then suddenly raised its head, and the light in its eyes became extremely violent.
The most important part of its body is its wings, without which it would not be able to move freely with its claws alone, and its attacks are basically based on the speed of its flight to have enough attack power. At the moment, its sharp claws can only be used to support its body, and even its sharp beak has become much more clumsy due to its inability to fly. In short, it's almost turned into an immobile target, and it's pretty bad. Although its physical strength is very high, it is only the defensive power of the martial artist body protection fighting qi equivalent to the peak of the ninth level, and it cannot block the attacks of Caroline and the others, and it can only rely on magic.
It chirped sharply, and with his chirp, the dark elements around it gathered, and then turned into sharp spears that shot at the four Caroline. Just from that momentum, it can be judged that this magic is close to the level of the ninth level, and the attack power is definitely not weak. In the face of these spears, the fighting armor on Don Juan's body condensed again, and he rushed straight over without dodging. I have to say that Don Juan's Dou Armor is really a powerful martial art, with Tang Juan's cultivation at the peak of the ninth level, even such a magic close to the ninth level can be blocked, and he himself was just shocked by this impact and paused slightly, and then continued to move forward. As for the Caroline trio, it will be a lot of trouble, they don't have the same defense as Don Juan. Caroline's body swayed, and she relied on her flexible body to completely dodge these spears, and her speed did not even decrease much. And Ivy and Erin stopped betraying and used the sword in their hands to block, after all, he and Caroline's strength had already exceeded the normal peak of the ninth level, and they were only in the late stage of the normal ninth level. It is impossible to do it to the extent of Don Juan and Caroline.
Caroline was the first to reach the black-winged bird, and the long sword in her hand stabbed the black-winged bird in the head with an unstoppable momentum. The black-winged bird could only tilt its head before Caroline's sword stabbed it, cutting a wound in its neck. At this moment, Don Juan's heavy sword also slashed directly from above it, like a heavy mountain suddenly pressing on its body, smashing its body down. The usual strength is not so great, and it is obvious that it is the use of a martial art like Caroline's Thousand Fighting Sword to have such an effect, after all, even a flying demonic beast is a demonic beast, and the strength of the body is not something to be said casually.
The battered black-winged bird suddenly screamed, and the intact wings were like steel, and suddenly slapped on Don Juan's body, knocking Don Juan away, but because of the protection of the fighting armor, Don Juan was fine. At this moment, the black-winged bird's body suddenly froze, and the madness in its red eyes quickly cooled down, and finally became a dead silence. Behind it, Caroline's longsword with a cyan glow thrust through the back of its head, her wind fighting energy pouring through its wounds, destroying its brain.
As the sword stabbed just now, Caroline herself followed and passed over the black-winged bird, leaving room for Don Juan to attack, and then went back and forth, giving it a fatal blow. Caroline breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the black-winged bird dead, her tense nerves relaxed, and she took something out of the black-winged bird's previously discarded wing. Snub Xing saw that it was more than a dozen needles, small in size, and the tip was overflowing with an abnormal luster, which should be coated with highly poisonous. Caroline's face was unusually pale, and when the black-winged bird used the shadow ripples to force them back and was about to take off, she shot these needles in an instant, all of them hit the black-winged bird's wing, and instantly destroyed it. However, although the power of her flying needle's martial arts is huge, correspondingly, the consumption is also terrifying, and nearly half of her fighting energy was directly drained from her before, so she needs to recover quickly.
Don Juan and Ivy Irene watched Caroline pull out these flying needles from the wings of the black-winged bird, there was a slight cold sweat on their bodies, the power of the flying needles was so great that they all saw it, if these flying needles were aimed at them, even Don Juan was not sure if his fighting armor could completely block these flying needles, let alone Ivy and Erin. Even if he was a snub star, he was also a little surprised by the hand that Caroline suddenly revealed, because he could feel that even a martial artist in the early stage of the heaven level would be directly fatally injured if he was hit by this blow, which was a very strong martial art.
After putting away the black-winged bird's magic core, there was silence for a moment, and Don Juan said slowly: "Actually, we made a lot of mistakes this time, if Caroline hadn't used that flying needle at a critical moment, I'm afraid we would be in trouble." ”
Hearing Don Juan's words, Ivy and Erin nodded silently, they also knew that if it weren't for Caroline's flying needle, I am afraid that the black-winged bird would have been in the air by now, and would have used ninth-level magic on them unscrupulously, ninth-level magic, even if it is a snub star, I am afraid that it may not be able to resist.
"First of all, we are too underestimated," Tang Juan analyzed, "I thought that we would not encounter any demonic beasts that threatened us here, but this time we just encountered a black-winged bird at the peak of the ninth level, and it still suddenly attacked us." If we had been more vigilant, we wouldn't be the way we are now, and we need Caroline to turn things around. Even if we don't go too deep, there are still dangers that can threaten us here, so we have to get rid of our previous mentality. ”
"Also, I don't know what trouble might arise," Snub Star added, "The magic it used to push Caroline, Ivy and Irene away is called Shadow Ripple, if you know anything about it, you will know that as long as you attack Ripple, you can greatly weaken the impact it brings, and with Caroline's strength, it won't even be affected too much, and you can entangle the Blackwing Bird before it gets away from the ground." ”
"Huh?" The remaining four looked at Snub Star with stunned expressions: "Is that so?" They all have their own backgrounds, so they know a lot about magic, but they don't recognize the Shadow Ripples used by the Blackwinged Bird at all, but the Snub Star does?
Snub nodded and didn't continue to speak. Don Juan gave him a suspicious look, knowing that he would not be able to explain, so he continued his analysis of the battle. After a few moments, he finally finished speaking, and the eyes of everyone looking at him changed wonderfully. If when formulating the specific actions of this mission, everyone was only a little surprised by Don Juan's ability, now it is in awe of his ability. He thinks clearly, speaks reasonably, and every sentence is ultimately based on facts, especially digging into the problem is very profound. It is conceivable that with Don Juan's talent, he will definitely become an important figure in the Orlan Empire in the future. In the eyes of Ivy and Irene, it was easy to see their admiration, and they did not hide it, but for some reason, Caroline's gaze at Don Juan was unusually complicated, she lowered her head and did not speak, and she did not know what was going on in her heart.
