Chapter 4: The core spell of 80 energy credits;
First-order lifeforms, no, in the state of corpse puppet concealment, it is almost a steel arrow shot by a zero-order ordinary person, under normal circumstances, a legendary great demon stands there without dodging or dodging, regardless of energy protection, this arrow cannot break the defense, even if it hits the eye and other vital points, with the strength of the demon's body, the arrow pressure is difficult to penetrate.
In other words, under normal circumstances, a legendary great demon stood in front of Zhu Peng at this time, and it would be difficult to complete the kill if he shot a bag of twenty-eight steel arrows, even if the other party was a weak caster, the vitality of the abyssal demon itself was not inferior to that of the dragon.
However, the legendary demon that Zhu Peng locked on before was already heavily injured on the battlefield, the energy around his body was dissipated, and even one side of his skull was broken, and ordinary lifeforms would have died more than eight times after suffering this kind of injury, but this legendary great demon was still powerful, and could even be hard connected to the lore arrow of a legendary-level elf archer.
But like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the steel arrow dodged the countless impacts with no thickness, and ran diagonally through the right side of its already cracked skull, straight into the cerebral marrow.
If this demon is already a demigod lifeform, then the body is energy-oriented, and this arrow still can't kill it, which is also one of the reasons why demigods are called "gods", which means that mortals are almost insurmountably powerful, and the legends of the second order are still human no matter how legendary they are, even if they are so powerful that they can challenge demigods, but as long as they are still human, there is the possibility of being killed by mortals.
In fact, the chaotic and surging energy on the battlefield of the High Demon is even more unfavorable for the fixed-point aiming of the parabolic archery technique, because there are too many incalculable factors, and the self-explosion of any demon on the battlefield may cause the swirling energy foehn to blow the arrows into nowhere.
Even with Zhu Peng's mental arithmetic and derivation level, limited by the physical basic conditions at this time, he only had a fifty percent grasp of the successful shot, which can be said to be quite lucky, the steel arrow hit the target, in fact, if it was just the brain marrow penetrated, the legendary big demon still had a certain chance of survival, but at this moment, the pressure brought to it by the hurricane arrow that it was facing was too great, and the steel arrow arrow in the skull shook violently under the concussion of the body, and then the big demon died.
Strictly speaking, it was killed by the combined attack of the legendary elf archer and Zhu Peng, but it is obvious that the law of this world does not count assists, and the fatal injury was inflicted by Zhu Peng, so the kill is also counted on Zhu Peng's head.
The fiery energy flow like lava magma came from the void, Zhu Peng sat down softly against the wall behind him, he knew that such a powerful energy surging over at one time was likely to cause an external demonization reaction, so even if it was in severe pain, he covered his cheeks with his palms, and the low-level lifeforms wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, and wanted to ascend by leaps and bounds, how could they not take risks, especially when their time was still so urgent.
Heart seal, body seal, hand seal, three seals into one, the dragon and tiger life and death seal is running again, the magic power that is too violent for this body is gradually led to the right path, the demonic reaction on Zhu Peng's face gradually disappears, the demon body in Daxiu Victor's body is growing rapidly, and the successive leaps in the life rank in two or three days are quite exaggerated, but it is not so rare among the abyss demons, there is a "bloody battle plane world" between the endless abyss and the nine-layer purgatory Controlled by high-level powers, it is not uncommon for those who can survive and leap from the zero order to a legendary lifeform in one day.
(Daxiu is a necromancer, and the ability to stimulate for the academy must be a necromancer...... It's best to be close to the human necromancer's spell-casting ability, not too different. Thinking in his mind, Zhu Peng directly ruled out the ability of black flame, bloodthirsty rage, and so on.
This time, because he killed the legendary Great Demon with his killing talent, the energy quota for promoting from the first order to the second order is 160 points, and the energy quota of 150 points for the normal demon is already the limit, and Zhu Peng has an extra 10 additional points on his side.
Of course, if it weren't for the Dragon and Tiger's Life and Death Seal Xuanmiao, if it weren't for Zhu Peng, if it weren't for Zhu Peng, the amount of energy accumulated by ordinary first-order demons would be ninety-nine percent of them would have exploded and died.
First consume 30 points to strengthen the mental power, then 10 points to strengthen the physical strength, and then 20 points to strengthen the demonic talents: skeleton resurrection, 10 points of dark mist, 10 points to strengthen the spell bone sharpness, compared to a fledgling little mage, with Zhu Peng's operation of these spells should be enough to deal with.
Next, Zhu Peng began to explore and find those powerful talents in the depths of the bloodline that consume great energy and are extremely powerful, of course, this choice is also risky, not that you find it, and there is enough energy to invest, and the strengthening will definitely solidify, the enhancement of the demon is never safe, many times it is possible to put all your life on the line, and then lose all your money, this is full of unpredictable risks and unpredictable returns...... The Devil's Way.
Of course, then again, if an existence with an extraordinary essence like Zhu Peng could fail to strengthen the second-order demon talent, then the abyss demon would inevitably be too miserable.
When Daxiu Victor opened his eyes again, a strong brilliance flashed in his eyes, although his appearance still did not change much, but he had been promoted from the first order to the second order, and he had strengthened the core spells, and now he had the strength to kill everyone in this arrow tower independently.
However, it is clear that some people do not see things that way. She was ungrateful that Zhu Peng didn't kill them all.
"Don't shrink up there and pretend to be dead, the demon tide is rushing up, give the old lady a top!" was kicked by the female officer with hard leather boots, a mortal like an ant actually dared to treat this seat like this, feeling the power of the sturdy and slender thighs under the pair of leather pants, Zhu Peng decided to trick her into going to bed and piercing her up and down before and after, and even if she played, she would not be given the opportunity to join her harem group...... Of course, this appearance is a little lower, which is also one of the reasons.
Archers can get tired, especially in the face of a demonic tide, extreme tension, and continuous rapid fire. On top of the battle array, the mental tension will greatly aggravate the consumption of body energy, coupled with the high-intensity load of the body itself, it will make people tired faster.
Therefore, most of the hunters who had seized a good position in front of the window before were already tired, but the female officer did not allow the lethal output of the arrow tower to be reduced, so the archers in other positions were required to come forward to fill the position, and the archers who did not have a good position shot at a low frequency, so the physical condition was of course relatively good, especially Zhu Peng, who shrank into the corner and dozed off in the middle of the battle, so that the female officer looked at him while sighing at the same time, and at the same time, he was angry.
"Flat arrows shoot directly, now the arrows you use are all provided by the military, you can't kill more than five demons within ten arrows, I will kick you out of the arrow tower immediately!" "Ten arrows kill more than five demons, which is very likely to be impossible for ordinary elite hunters, although the number of demons under the arrow tower is numerous, but their vitality is also extremely vigorous and strong, and demons are definitely one of the most difficult species to kill in the same level of lifeforms.
"Ten arrows, I will shoot the nine-headed demon, what if I do what I promised a condition?" Zhu Peng said with a wicked smile while playing with the longbow and arrows in his hand, familiar with the weapons and equipment. As a female soldier, Lotari has been teased by this kind of teasing from time to time in her military career, and those sperm-brained ruffians don't care who she is or what her identity is, if it weren't for Lotari's strength and some background, she would have been able to publish a book in her military career.
In the past, when faced with this kind of obviously ill-intentioned teasing, Lotali absolutely refused, but now when she looked at the handsome young man with black hair and white face in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, because her father was patriarchal when she was young, and she joined the army in anger, but the girl's Huaichun and sister's love for beauty were only suppressed.
In the past, those rude ruffians only made themselves feel disgusted, disgusted, and repulsed, but if it was a young man like a scholar in front of him...... The momentary hesitation and turmoil in her heart made Lotali feel a little frightened, but she forcibly comforted herself, I just didn't think he could do it.
"Okay. But if you can't, you're not just going to be kicked out, I want you to get twenty lashes. The female officer said viciously, the 20th Army of the St. Tennople Fortress was whipped down, and even the warriors in the army had to cry for their fathers and mothers, and they were whipped on the little white face in front of him, which was enough to suck all the fine skin and tender flesh of his body.
........................
If it was before his own advancement, Zhu Peng really didn't dare to make this bet with the female officer Lotari, but now that he has been promoted to the second order, although most of the energy quota is used to strengthen the spell ability, but the demon advancement itself has the basic strengthening of mental power and physical strength, not to mention that Zhu Peng also spent 10 energy quota for additional enhancement on both advances.
The muscles under the linen robe bulged faintly, Zhu Peng is an extraordinary martial artist, every bit of his physical strengthening effect can exert more than ten times the strength, the big bow and long arrow, with the second-order body condescendingly occupy the geographical advantage to shoot the low-level little devil below, such a victory is in hand, Zhu Peng still leaves himself a room for an arrow, and it can only be said that his behavior is really stable to the extreme.
The strings were full, and the arrow pointed at a second-order demon who was climbing the fortress, not only for the purpose of making a bet with the female officer beside him, Zhu Peng also needed to quickly improve his strength by hunting, although after being promoted to the second order, the killing talent effect of the first order was already in the extremely fast utility attenuation.
The arrow was off the string and shot straight arrows, because Zhu Peng grasped the timing accurately, at the moment when the second-order demon flew to the head of the city, so there was no parry dodge at all, and even the arrow wind was whistling, Zhu Peng even calculated the demon's immediate reaction, it felt the arrival of the killing machine and panicked sideways, and was pierced by the sharp arrow through the back of the head from the eye, flying and falling, and the death can be described as clean, neat, and happy.
As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, after this arrow, the entire arrow tower around Zhu Peng was in an uproar, but Zhu Peng, who had entered the combat state, shielded any other emotions other than combat, and the arrows whistled out and shot each arrow directly at a demon of at least the second order, and in the process, it happened to coincide with the fortress of St. Tancienburg to switch shapes like a transformer.
Feeding with magic potions, there are a large number of carnivorous moats gushing out with the opening of the gates, and a large number of demons die directly under the fortress, and at the same time, dozens of arrow towers with the effect of magic, like mechanical arms, directly increased from dozens to hundreds, this is the full fire output mode, many arrow towers have simply extended to the top of the demon tide, and the archers inside only need to close their eyes and shoot arrows frantically below, which can almost ensure that the arrows will hit.
When the arrow tower moved, many low-level archers inside could not stand firmly, so the arrow group temporarily decreased, but Zhu Peng tied a stable horse step and rapid fire, and the process of fortress deformation was also the process of activating a variety of mechanism spells, at this time, the demon tide facing its might was also hit hard, and there were many second- and third-order demons who were seriously injured, and even legendary demons also had such a good opportunity as before, so Zhu Peng was just looking for low-level demons, at this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in his shadow, and the arrows were pointing, and there would be death。
When Zhu Peng stopped a little tired, it was the empty quiver on the side that made him catch an empty quiver, there were only twenty-seven arrows in this quiver, one less than the conventional one, and I don't know if it was greedy by the quartermaster, one bag was less, and after the January war, the St. Tancienburg fortress consumed more than ten thousand arrows?
"Twenty-seven arrows, at least more than thirty kills, none of the arrows missed, and there were several arrows or even several kills with one arrow...... Oh my God!" the old man, who was the leader of the hunters, had a look of surprise on his face, because he was an expert, so he knew how difficult it was to achieve such a perverted level.
If you are less than three arrows, a little luck, you may not be able to do the arrows without missing a shot, but even shooting twenty-seven arrows and arrows are like this, the physical fitness required is still secondary, the most terrifying is the absolute concentration of the mental will, the strength of the man in front of him may not be good, but the qualification is definitely the posture of the arrow god.
What's even more terrifying is that at his age, how did he cultivate such a spiritual cultivation?
At this time, at this point, it seems a little ridiculous to talk about the ten-arrow bet. The female officer Lotari stared blankly at the man who turned into the arrow god in front of her, and her somewhat dark and handsome cheeks were inexplicably a little swollen, but at this time, under the leadership of an officer, another army of archers belonging to the fortress of St. Tanduin was stationed in the arrow tower, and they were the ones who changed guards.
That night, all the temporary mercenary archers counted today's achievements one by one with the help of the priest, a zero-order demon had ten coppers, twenty in the first order, fifty in the second order, and five silver coins in the third order, and there was no reward for killing the legendary rank, because once someone did it, they would get more than just a reward of money. This kind of record is to be recorded and reported to the military department.
As long as the mercenary presses his palms on the two ends of the basin-sized "Styx", the flashing points of light in it will tell the priest about today's achievements, and then a priest who believes in the god of the underworld will never lie easily to tell the clerk, and then pay the money on the spot, which is also a consistent pattern.
But today, the priest of the god of the underworld who guarded the lake of Styx felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and strange, especially the team of temporary mercenary archers in charge of him, who no longer bragged about their achievements as usual, and even those who had good records and high gains did not have the ecstasy of the past.
They silently settled their records, silently took their own money bags from the quartermaster, and then silently waited for a monster to the side, they were also curious, such an almost unborn monster, how far could the upper limit of the record of the profession of temporary mercenary archer be brushed.
Finally, Zhu Peng's hands slowly pressed on both ends of the Styx, and when the Pluto priest lowered his head and counted and then raised his head, his face was full of confusion: Under normal circumstances, large and small red dots will appear in the basin of the Styx, the smallest and weakest is the zero order, and then the larger and brighter first order, and so on, but what does it mean that a round of red sun emerges in the basin of the entire Styx?
It's a mess, and there's no way to settle the count.
The Pluto priest in charge of Zhu Peng's side was a little old and confused, he had been doing this for too many years, and his adaptability had become extremely weak, and just when he was hesitating and pondering, the young Pluto priest who was in charge of settling the results of the melee mercenaries came over and directly took Zhu Peng to the deepest part of the church house, where there was a pool-like styx, which was used to settle the records of the senior generals of the fortress of St. Tendenburg, but when Zhu Peng pressed his hands under his signal, the dense red light and shadow that appeared in the lake made the young Pluto priest gasp。
Especially, especially in the very center, the point of light that was so crimson that it almost burned...... It was the soul fire that belonged to the Legendary-rank adult Great Demon!
The entire auditorium was almost in a mess, and taking advantage of the gap, Zhu Peng walked out and came to the side of the female officer Luo Tali and said: "If I were you, I would immediately report the situation to my direct commander now, don't care if it has anything to do with him, there is such a big event in Zhili District, and I guarantee that you will be rewarded or even promoted." ”
The originally strong female officer Luo Tali seemed to be a little afraid of herself at this moment, and as an old monster who had a lifespan of more than five hundred years, the young girl's thoughts were completely understood by Zhu Peng. Such a strong girl, the more she owes herself, the easier it is to untie her clothes, there is fluff on her ears, her hair is dry, and there is a faint flush on her jaw near her neck, such a perfect mature but undeveloped girl is the best way to relieve pressure and reconcile her soul, and her strength is completely lost, moving forward in this high demon world where crises are everywhere, although Zhu Peng's psychological pressure can be controlled, but it does exist, not that the spiritual cultivation is high enough, you can ignore the objective existence.
The blood on the battlefield and the huge load on the soul are best reconciled with a beautiful virgin, not to mention that the little guy in front of him also kicked himself twice, if she didn't cry and call her father, how could Zhu Peng's face as an extraordinary person exist?
Zhu Peng woke up from the dreamer with a word, Lotali suddenly thought of something, and then she took a deep look at Zhu Peng and turned around and ran out.
At this time, the old and confused priest of the god came to Zhu Peng's side and whispered: "Old Irons is too strict with little Lotari, a girl's family is already twenty-seven or eighteen, and she has not even had a chance to hold a man's hand...... But, I mean, Victor boy, if you're going to have fun, you bastard. Not only old Irons, but I also swear by the glory of the god of the underworld that I will definitely make you pay. ”
The old priest, who was old, mediocre, and confused, who was always robbed of opportunities by young people, turned around, and he whispered softly, and there was a dead silence and desolation in his leaden gray eyes, for this little girl who he had watched grow up since childhood, the old guy seemed to be rare and serious.
(...... Miscellaneous...... What's the situation?)
Zhu Peng, who soon realized that he had unintentionally stabbed the hornet's nest, was taken away by a senior general's adjutant before he could react.
This little girl named Lotali-Irons seems to really have some foundation, the old priest of the Church of the Underworld, the senior general of the fortress of St. Tancienburg, is actually willing to come forward for her, such a force is really very oppressive for the current Zhu Peng.
...........................
Night, St. Tancienburg.
Sitting in the carriage provided by the military to the St. Tancienburg Academy, Zhu Peng, who had already changed into a military lawyer's robe, pinned a medal of black fire on his left chest, which is already the highest honor that a temporary mercenary can obtain, which is an officially recognized official identity without real power, which is really of great significance to some veterans, not only the honor obtained by fighting for a lifetime, but also tax-free.
However, this is just a reward for Zhu Peng's hard work for half a day, if the Victor longbow (English longbow) he developed can really be expanded into a powerful combat force after testing, such a feat will be reported to the military department's top brass, and even read by His Majesty, once recognized, Zhu Peng will make the Victor family directly become a real noble.
You must know that the Victor clan has been in decline for a long time, except for Daxiu Victor's father Zoro-Victor who still insists that his clan is an ancient nobleman, both the official and the people of the empire no longer recognize it, maybe the immortal empire did have a glorious Victor clan, but even if it existed, it had already perished, and the Zorro-Victor branch was not affected because it was far enough away from the main vein, weak enough, and poor enough.
Although according to the aristocratic inheritance law, the main line of the nobility is severed, and it is true that it should be inherited by the branch line, but after all, this kind of thing depends on strength, you have nothing, how can you become a noble?
(With my status, Victor's longbow has not been deducted at all...... A girl who bubbles at random.,I actually have a military boss background.,I don't have a body to be the protagonist of fate.、Destiny of Destiny, right?)
(Well, probably not.) If it was really a child of destiny, this guy would not be easily stabbed to death. Resting with his eyes closed on the smooth carriage, after this day's killing, the magic power in his body has reached the second order high, but it is not a good thing to make crazy progress by leaps and bounds like this, how much it takes time to ease down and settle down, just like when driving to warm up first, and not directly stepping on the accelerator, this is the way of cultivation, just because of the relationship between its own essence and strength, this Zhang Yichi can be slightly faster.
At the Academy of St. Tancienburg, the carriage of high-ranking military officials still attracts a lot of attention, including Daxiu Victor's original dream lover, Alyssa, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, who is now strolling with a handsome silver-haired nobleman with a shy face.
When they saw the military carriage driving into the campus, both of them subconsciously stopped, the Immortal Empire awarded knights with military merits, so the social status of the soldiers is very high, whether it is the son of a nobleman or the daughter of a wealthy businessman, in front of the fierce military might, they have to be silent.
The carriage drove slowly, Alyssa and the silver-haired boy beside her dared to gasp, as if they felt that they had lost face in front of the beauty, the silver-haired man Kennerton thought for a while, and said softly: "Alyssa, believe me, give me some time and I can let you sit in that carriage." ”
"Well, of course I believe in you, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I believe that Big Brother Naton will definitely be able to enter the Imperial Cabinet in the future. "Power is the best aphrodisiac, especially for the daughter of a wealthy merchant like Alyssa, who is not short of money. The reason why he gave up the obviously more handsome and more sincere Daxiu, and chose the slick Kennaton was because the gap between the two families, Kennaton, as the second son of the earl, supplemented by his own talent and his own support, may not be able to become an important minister of the empire in the future.
If there is no such wit that needs to be cultivated from an early age, how can the deceit in the officialdom be insightful, cracked, and even tricked against others?
In contrast, Daxiu-Victor is too withdrawn, he will become a high-level archmage at most in the future, although noble, but that is not what he wants, to become a major minister in the immortal empire with the way of magic, it is too difficult, thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, Alyssa does not feel that Daxiu-Victor has such a chance according to her own judgment, and therefore, she made her own decision.
However, at this moment, there was a faint exclamation from the crowd of onlookers watching the military carriage, and Alyssa and Kennerton were attracted to it, but the two of them had expressions on their faces as if they had seen ghosts...... The black-haired man who was supposed to be dead walked slowly down from the carriage wearing a military mage's robe at this moment, if he was a soldier, of course, it would be impossible to match the car ladder, but for a delicate and frail mage, not being equipped with a car ladder is likely to make people injured.
Zhu Peng also happened to see Alyssa and Kennarton in the crowd, of course he had never seen the two of them, but he knew the story of Daxiu Victor, and the information revealed from the expressions of these two people was enough for Zhu Peng to make a judgment.
(Wash your necks and wait.) Daxiu's soul has been waiting in hell for a long, long time. Stretching out two fingers of his left hand, he pointed at the silver-haired nobleman Kennaton, and gently slashed at his throat: You, you are dead.
"How is that possible...... How could he still be alive?"
"Impossible, impossible! My knife not only pierced the heart, but also had poison on it that could poison a bull, how could he survive?" After all, it was just two students, even if they were a little clever and ruthless, but they were still panicked when they really encountered something, but unfortunately, the instinctive panic when they encountered an incident did not help, and often only made things worse.
Tossing and turning in a panicked mood and unable to sleep, in the next day's Academy Top 10 match, Alyssa and Kennerton both wore a pair of dark circles under their eyes, and their fighting status declined.
The college competition is not only an entertainment activity, but also a college to show its educational achievements to the outside world, and it is also a recruitment conference for each unit for elite new talents.
Therefore, it is really decent on the field, Zhu Peng drew a scene competition: the domain of chaotic stones, a heavy armor swordsman and Zhu Peng walked into the arena together, the heavy armor swordsman is named Danny, cultivating the strength of the bull, the qi veins are long and the strength is huge, he also knows very well in his heart that the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to himself, the other party is a mage with many means, so this Danny actually removed most of his armor as soon as he entered the arena, leaving only a small part of the breastplate, armour, and then he carried his great sword around looking for a target.
With the nature of Danny's cultivation of fighting spirit, he is indeed very sure that he will successfully find Zhu Peng before his physical strength is exhausted and his combat power decays, and this competition venue will not be too big after all, because the audience is not here to see hide and seek, what they want to see is a wonderful duel, gorgeous sword skills and mysterious spells.
As soon as Zhu Peng entered the Chaotic Stone Domain on the other side, he began to close his eyes to sense the existence of the skeleton, and he knew that the courtyard would definitely not do too much, letting a necromancer fight with a great swordsman in close combat. Necromancer's first choice of compulsory spells: Skeleton Resurrection, if there are no skeletons, then it's a fart.
Of course, necromancers can also be allowed to bring summons into the field, but that is not as fair as live summoning, and it may not need to be relatively fair on the battlefield, but it is required on the field.
"It's really good, it's very decisive, that Danny doesn't care about anything else, just this self-cutting heart is very good. ”
"That's true, the strongest in the battle formation may not be the most suitable, and it is indeed a kind of cleverness to fight the opponent's relatively weak state with your own relatively strong state. "Outside the arena, those commentators representing the major forces are also talking to each other, not only the military, but also the mercenary group, the big nobles, the big merchant group, as long as it is a force, they are looking forward to a fresh and powerful blood injection.
At the same time, Zhu Peng had already found the extremely hidden grave in the Chaotic Stone Domain with his excellent sensing ability, and with the infusion of magic power and the chanting of incantations, a skeleton warrior climbed up.
Demonic blood and fire bloomed and burned in their hollow skull sockets, and the skeletons summoned with demonic talents and spells looked the same, but in fact they were far more powerful than the skeletons of human necromancers.
