Chapter 8: The Gathering of Tribulation (2)
[2. Hunting]
The battle began suddenly! In the gushing darkness, Cedar was relieved to let a pair of hands pull him and run wildly—
That's Ivan, with his monster-like speed and agility, he rushed out of the demon array with Cedar!
"Black Eclipse Flame!" After Ataya released the Flame of Destruction to Rakshasa and Zhinu, he summoned the dragon demon and flew away, quickly picked up the two people who were running wildly, and rushed towards the direction of the thousand-year-old demon capital.
The black flame tide collided with the wind, and in an instant, it turned into pieces of black petals scattered all over the sky, accompanied by thousands of cardinals transformed into rakshasas, covering the trail of the swift enemy who was chasing after it!
"This is the first time I've seen it," Harden sat on top of the dragon demon and looked down at the dragonfly in the ghost mountain, "The flame of death of the Demon King of the Xuan World will still be torn apart, why don't you save some face for your Demon King." ”
"She will forgive me. Is it the two of you that I'm up against you? The Ghost Mountain Dragonfly said lightly, her warm eyes staring at Harden and Selena, who controlled the dragon demon, and a bundle of delicate wind swirled around her body.
("Isn't this guy really a 'bug tamer?'")
("It can't be an atmospheric envoy, right?")
("I'll test it, you can help me buy time!") Harden and Selena exchanged quickly, Selena slapped the dragon demon, the dragon demon spit out evil purple flames, and Harden began to brew a large magic-
"Darker than the afflicted, the tide of death that swells in the darkness, now answer my call! I am the devil! I am the darkness, I am death, I am your ruler!
Harden's magic power is a raging sea, accompanied by the words of power that guides the flow of magic, endless waves of darkness rush in! At the same time, the wind gust of the dragonfly in the ghost mountain also expands simultaneously, and the small wind currents that flicker and swirl like fish scales are like blades scraping in the sky, and when they meet the black tide, they tear out huge black flowers!
"Finely manipulate the magic to break down the Shadow Tide!, how do monsters always appear when I don't want to fight!" Harden laughed even more fiercely as he said that, "Dimon, it seems that you're in luck." ”
"Hahaha, fight, my little monster!" the demon knife began to laugh wildly.
Thousands of wind blades rushed to her face, Selina waved her hand, the dragon demon roared angrily, and the demonic dragon power shook a thousand wind knives!
"Now is not the time to fight!If you want to manipulate carefully, let me be his opponent!" Selena lured the Ghost Mountain Dragonfly away from the direction of the Demon King's Capital, her usually gentle eyebrows and eyes already showing her inner fortitude to challenge everything.
Harden turned his head to look in the direction of the smokey demon capital, and smiled slightly: "Then I don't care about you." ”
The two of them were back to back, each unleashing a surging magic—
The shadows that condense countless nights roar here, colliding with the boundless demonic energy!
—
The moment Ataya turned around, the high wall of gas was like a mountain crossing the wasteland. A torrent of cardinals bombarded the invisible barrier, breaking into pieces and reuniting into human form, and Rakshasa smiled as she and Ivan moved away.
"It's nerve-wracking. Zhinu gently stepped on the ground with her toes, and the soil was separated into a shallow tunnel, but a strong wind flow also gushed out, "This girl is just a beginner-level 'atmospheric envoy', and she can manipulate the wind in such a large area, using a higher content of gas." Is it nitrogen or oxygen?"
"The seniors can't do anything about the wind wall?" asked Ghost Mountain Terro,
"If I can't even help the intellectual, I can't deal with it easily, I'm just a little scout. Rakshasa said with a calm smile. (Note 1)
"The silver rat, it's time for us to contribute. Ghost Mountain Terra stared at the flowing wind wall and said with a smile, "You go chase first." ”
The Ghost Mountain Silver Rat nodded happily: "Okay!"
I saw him coquettishly flick his hair up, and the faint magic aura spread like a ripple: "Follow my orders, I am your king......"
On the other side of the wind wall, faint screeches echoed in all directions, gradually connecting into waves, and the artemisia grass of the wilderness was surging with dark soldiers......
Is that...... A swarm of wild mice!
“...... Are you—" Zhinu sensed the demonic aura of the silver rat in surprise, "'Mock rat'?" (Note 2)
"That's right, I'm a rat. The silver rat smiled, he listened to the call of the rat group, and nodded with satisfaction, "I thought that the white world would weaken the power, it seems to be okay, they are following, it's up to you, Dogwood." ”
Ghost Mountain Terra nodded, her steady magic flowing like silk threads, slender green vines growing and dancing along the wind wall, soft stripes coiled in the wind flow to create complex lines. Gently, nodes of magic power erupted on her magic silk, red star-shaped flowers bloomed little by little, jade and green ** force lines converged to form a coat of arms, and the strong wind flow suddenly collapsed!
"Is it already a 'heraldic master', it's amazing. Rakshasa said approvingly, and then turned into a flock of cardinals and chased after him, "I'm faster, so let's stop it first." ”
"Sister, they're coming!" Ivan reminded, staring at the cardinals in the sky with wide eyes, "so fast!"
"We're in big trouble, or you can summon your big monster out, Ivan. Ataya was still in the mood to laugh, she was not nervous to perceive the huge network of magic behind her, revealing a confident sneer.
"Ivan, will you summon a demonic beast?" Cedar asked expectantly, "Summon!
"My summoning is great, but if I call that boss out, my life will end here," Ivan said solemnly, "so my magic is the last killer!"
"One more time, let's get together!" Ataya once again gathered the peak of the air flow and temporarily stopped the Rakshasa "It's over to be caught up by the Rakshasa anymore, I can't handle her thousand changes." Hey, Ivan, we're unlucky, there's no movement at all in the north where we're moving at the same time, and Miss Pear Blossom says there's nothing to hinder them. ”
"It's unreasonable to stop us!" Ivan shouted, and quickly became serious again, "It seems that the Avengers don't want to let us go, and the Empress doesn't want to let Harden live, right?" And we have cedars here, so we have to run for our lives quickly...... Sister, right deviation!"
Although there was no warning, Atayal immediately turned away. It was at this moment that huge vines burst out from the side of the dragon demon!
"Surprise!" sat on the huge golden buds, Xia Zhen and Xia Yu shouted happily.
"Oops, I almost scared to death. Ataya smiled helplessly, "If you come, that big trouble will also come, right?"
As she watched, purple portals emerged. The purple-clothed virgin walked out slowly. Her golden pupils shone brightly, shining with a seriousness that was too beautiful and evil to look at.
"Smash the earth, dry up the sea, burn the sun, succumb to the power of our demon kings, fear us!" didn't even say a single superfluous teasing word, just bent on getting rid of the eyesore as soon as possible, Anya's magic surged with a brilliant purple smoke tide, and a crisp voice announced the beginning of the slaughter—
"We are demons!
The high-level demon general's unique mana amplification spell transmitted the demonic nature, and the wilderness began to hear harsh sounds everywhere......
"That's ......" Cedar looked around in horror, and let out a faint moan when she saw the change—
The ones that made the disgusting sound were the wild mice that had been driven by the silver rats of the Ghost Mountain. The wild mice coalesced into piles and merged into aliens. Their musculoskeletal bones began to split, restructure, and gradually merge into new bodies!
Now the cedars are no longer surrounded by a swarm of wild rats, and the monsters that are still swelling and growing have shown their sharp claws and fangs!
"Cedar, this is the process of mass-producing demonic beasts by the beast master, and the beast master is very powerful!" Ivan seemed to lack such a thing as nervousness.
"Big brother, don't laugh, think of a way!" Cedar only felt a chill all over his body, "Ataya......"
"I'm going to cry, I'm bullying too much!" Ataya patted the dragon demon's head, still with a smile on her face.
The group of demonic beasts had already pounced, but she raised her hand: "It's been ready for a long time - "Poison King's Destiny Net"!"
The deadly smoke and dust exploded, and the dragon and demon wrapped in a merry body rushed out into the sky!
Ataya calmly controlled the dragon demon to fly towards the demon capital, and looked back at the place where the black fireworks exploded again and again: "Harden, they are also rushing over!"
"Be careful, 'Blood Killing Array'!" Ivan shouted as he pointed downward, and Ataya hurriedly accelerated to dodge, blood still lingering in the corners of their eyes—
The place where they flew just now was covered with blood-colored streaks, and the monsters trapped in it had no time to scream, and the flesh and blood had already dissolved, and only the bones remained!
"It was on TV that day...... Is this magic?" Cedar shuddered as she remembered the program that interviewed He Yanfang that day.
"Atayal!This guy is the right guy for you!" The black salute was already close, and Harden's voice came, "Leave it to me here!"
"What, it's all here......" Ataya saw that the Rakshasa had also chased after them, and couldn't help but sigh, "Who will you give me?"
But Atayal immediately noticed the wind blade that cut the flowers. She immediately raised her hand to control her gas element, and the wind blade instantly collapsed without a trace, and the long-suppressed black tide immediately roared and fell, blasting towards the ghost mountain dragonfly!
Rakshasa struck out in the chaos, and the three red pythons she turned into bared teeth attacked the cedar from three directions!
Before the "bad ......" could prepare to attack the magic, Atayal could only condense the wind bomb to smash the giant python, but at this time, the sword-like giant leaf of "Aspire" penetrated the dragon demon from between the three of them!
The three of them fell off guard, and the huge golden buds bloomed gorgeously under them, devouring them in one fell swoop!
"Hey, isn't it......" Harden's eyes widened in horror, his stunned eyes met Anya's smiling golden eyes, and the golden flower closed into a giant bud and half-sunk into the earth, guarded by layers of feathered leaves.
“...... Huh?"
"Am I alive?" Cedar shuddered and pinched his face.
"There's too much magic mixed together, it's hard to discern danger, right?" asked with a childish voice giggling with a jade-green magic light in his hand.
"I thought it was over...... I was almost scared to death by you. Taiya leaned against the soft and silky golden petals, and smiled bitterly at the Xia brothers-
The center of the stamen where the brothers sat was the entrance to Wafors's throat, and the pistil, where they were now seated, was the esophagus, full of teeth that connected to the whole plant.
"You can go through the ground. One of the brothers said.
"What's the use of drilling, the Blood Liberation Killing Array can even be killed underground, right? Let's talk about it when the conditions for setting up the formation are destroyed. Ataya sensed the magic from the outside, "Harden has already started. ”
"Could it be...... Are you partners too?" asked the Xia brothers uncertainly, and the other party just smiled.
As if sensing something, Anya turned her head to look at Jin Lei of "Wolfos" in displeasure. But she hasn't had time to take care of the students who don't listen to orders—
"You really me off......" Harden's sneer became more and more violent, and a surging demonic aura spiraled out from his body!
"......'Inch Broken Feather'!" exclaimed the silver rat, "Oh my God, it's actually 'Inch Broken Feather'!"
Harden's sneering dark eyes were bloody, and finally as red as blood. The cold wind blew his clothes, rolling out patches of purple-green feathers—
The three newcomers to Ghost Mountain couldn't help but step back in shock to observe the situation. The feathers fluttered, and when it brushed the body of the demonic beast, the demonic beast suddenly screamed miserably and hurriedly retreated. The place where they were brushed by the feathers was already cracked, and the bright red color spread rapidly, so the wailing sound sounded everywhere, which seemed to verify the poisonous name of the overlord of the Lingnan Yu Clan, and the liver and intestines were broken in pain-
Rakshasa looked at Harden, who had been transformed into a demon, and slowly saluted—
"This is the first confirmation that you do possess the blood of our king...... I can't ...... shot" (Note 3)
"Rakshasa, my grandfather has passed away for so long, so it's not interesting for you to stay in Kuang Zhengtuan, right? Shocking thousands of demonic beasts with the huge majesty of the donkey, Harden said with a smile as he accumulated his magic power.
"Yes, yes, you see that people's grandchildren are so old, you can clean up your admiration and consider Harden, doesn't it look quite alike?" Jin Lei slowly opened the crack, and Ivan's heartless words came out.
"You're going to die, Ivan!" Harden frowned, but after a moment of endurance and turned to glaring at Anya, "Come out, 'Thin Red' Dimon!"
The uncle's wild and unbridled laughter shook the wilderness, as if it came from a million nightmares, and the thick black madness absorbed the demonic aura of the wilderness, condensing into a tall body like a mountain! The pitch-black scales flashed a dark red luster at the edges, the nine long necks seemed to poke into the sky, the huge mouths of the nine fangs spewed suffocating evil flames, and the nine pairs of thick red eyes radiated a bloodthirsty light that was heartbreaking—
The Nine-Headed Demon Black Dragon King, "Thin Red" Dimon appears here!
"Come on, who wants to die?" the huge black dragon flapped its wings and flapped the wind, shouting with nine huge mouths!
"Let's take this opportunity to escape," Ataya patted the Xia brothers, "Don't be stunned!"
"Wolfforth" churned as if from a dream, and the whole plant shrank into the ground, leaving only the vibration of the surface!
"Dare to betray me......" Anya's smile had a dark edge in it, but she didn't chase it, just stared at Harden and the supporting Selena, "Don't think I'm going to be afraid of you two!"
Anya's slender and white fingers swirled with purple light flashing curse props, the dangerous aura on her body swelled in sync with Harden's demonic energy, and the horde of demonic beasts let out a mournful sound and merged again, as if it was condensing into a monster comparable in size to Dimon!
"Y-no chance!" the nine-headed dragon laughed wildly, and the tide of darkness shot at the monsters in shape like bullets from all sides!
"Don't come again, Dimon. The clear voice calmly stopped the rampaging Demon Black Dragon King, and the huge monster that was almost swept into a sieve but was still roaring in anger then burst into light blue flames all over its body——
"You are too careless, this monster has cast a curse magic 'Immortal Blood Seal', which will convert the damage suffered by the body into magical power, if you don't stop it, you will be miserable later. ”
“...... He Yanfang?" The trick was suddenly exposed, and Anya's face turned pale in shock. She stared incredulously at the silver shards of light that poured in like a northern blizzard, and her magic showed signs of receding.
The pale blue flames quickly burned out the body of the demonic beast, and the surging waves of spells converged into human form, revealing a delicate young man in a dark robe and his talisman boy.
"He Yanfang-White Sage?" The newcomers in the Ghost Mountain looked at each other.
"Hahaha, I'll leave it to you, Lao He. The nine-headed demon dragon laughed reassuringly, and its huge body turned into a little red fire, gathering into a demon knife and returning to Harden's hand.
Glancing at Harden and Selena with a friendly smile, the sage who was admired by the world cast a solemn gaze at many opponents.
“...... You're actually here in Middle-earth......"
"It's not you who hurt me to 'light and shadow'. Feeling tired, He Yanfang smiled gently and bitterly at Anya who was shocked, "The allies have ushered in the general through the courtyard, and the heavenly punisher can't ignore it." I just came back to take a look, and it was Yanwu who really came to pick people up. ”
"Actually......" Anya smiled in disbelief, "for that kind of insignificant little person......"
Not far away, "Wolfos" reappeared, and the buds bloomed in the direction of the majestic roar.
A wild roar that made the wilderness throb was accompanied by a fierce fire!
"Wow...... "The surprised voice of the Ivan sister and brother can also be heard here in Anya, "Handsome!"
In the midst of the raging flames...... A heavy locomotive rushed at a gallop!
The mighty knight fearlessly rushed towards the hunters, made a striking braking, and got out of the car in a dashing manner in the billowing smoke!
The tall and mighty body reclined on the side of the heavy locomotive, and the knight slowly took off his helmet, revealing a wild and handsome face of a young man!
His piercing gaze seemed to burn with confidence and courage, and the man smiled wildly, revealing a mouthful of white and charming teeth!
"Hey, who's Xiao Zhou?"
Cedar looked at him stunned: "I'm ......"
"Come, get on the bus!" the man smiled heartily and patted the locomotive, "I am the Leaving Emperor of the 'Nine Emperors', Wang Yanwu!" (Note 4)
Anya clenched her pink fist unwillingly.
"According to me, we have to fight for a long time today, and I'm lazy and don't want to fight. Why don't you go home? "The big monster that disturbed Kyushu in the past stretched his waist and said to Anya lazily.
Zhinu and Rakshasa looked at Anya helplessly, and Anya bit her lip and didn't make a sound.
"Oh, by the way, Rakshasa and Zhinu, you guys should stop shooting flying objects in the air. Wang Yanwu said helplessly, "Just now I said that I wanted to come out, and the bedbug must tell you that you are not allowed to beat his ******** or anything again...... He said that you had already shot down his ********, Kong Ming lanterns, balloons and kites, and that if you hit his toys again, he would come out and throw hidden weapons. ”
Zhinu showed a wry smile as if she was twitching: "Is the emperor of Qianmen ......?"
"That's it, we'll take the kids. Don't besiege the city for so long, you are tired, and we are annoyed. Wang Yanwu waved his hand and rode on the motorcycle, "Get on the car, Xiao Zhou!"
Anya's killing intent swelled suddenly, and several small demonic beasts that had never moved directly rushed over!
The pale blue flames burst forth again, burning the beast to the ground!
"Do you want to die?" said the talisman boy's godless red eyes always looked so ominous, and a light blue beam of fire lit up on his hand.
"Little sister, I think you should go back to Tregeny," Wang Yanwu said with a smile, "It's too late if you don't go back." ”
Anya was taken aback. Annoyed, she glanced at the crowd she had been chasing for a long time, and finally glanced at "Wolfos": "...... Retreat!"
The purple strange portal appeared, and Anya immediately led the newcomer of the ghost mountain to disappear into the purple light. Rakshasa and Zhinu shrugged helplessly, turned and retreated to Empas.
"Well, that's it. Let's go, kids. Wang Yanwu put on his helmet, "Xiao Zhou, as a greeting gift, I will take you back......!
"Just go in yourself. Don't look at He Yanfang, Harden said immediately.
"Okay. Children," the mighty Emperor of the Gate pointed to the wilderness in the distance, "Welcome to the Demon King Capital!"
The children all looked in the direction he pointed, and it was a place where masters gathered, a city of happiness and beauty...... The young eyes are shining with the brilliance of longing for growth.

- Tregenis
"'Darkpurger' Dack Scartler......" In a messy town, Anya muttered to herself with a blank face.
"We know him! He's a mysteryman. The Ghost Mountain Silver Rat raised his eyebrows in surprise, "A well-known assassin, but it's really easy to be overlooked, and what he's pursuing is that he doesn't have a sense of existence." ”
"It seems that he succeeded. The last time he was seen in Ceperos, I only remembered weaving pear blossoms when I read the report...... Now, he's probably staying in Seperos with that traitor Ryan Reese. Ryan Reese and his presence are so weak that they become weapons. Anya said coldly, looking at the undamaged Yellow Narcissus Castle on the high slope, "That's where we live." It seems that Jean has already greeted Duck beforehand, and he won't have to sleep on the streets tonight. ”
The weary hunters walked to their dwellings. Their day's hunt is over, but it's far from over.
Poor chess pieces fighting in chess battles, when will they stop killing each other?
Maybe they just thought that they just had to defeat the opponent's pawns. But this chess game is really boundless...... Moreover, their owners have also concealed the rules of this chess game-
In this endless chess game, what the opponent wants is not a victory, but the joy of watching the chess pieces fight! The chess pieces are destined to die......
