Chapter 56: The Green Chain
Before crossing the maelstrom to reach this world, in the unknown world, the demons have already begun to master this unique combat technique.
It may seem like some kind of magic, but it's actually a talent, just like a lion with sharp claws and a rabbit with long ears open.
Bright red streaks appeared on Yuan Chi's torso, and they extended upwards to become one with the streaks on his face, and everywhere he went, a bright red, blood-colored mist rose from above, floating in the air for a long time.
This is "burning blood".
When a demon is ready to fight with all his might, some kind of power in his body will awaken, which will make the blood of the demon start to boil, in order to prevent high body temperature, this unique blood-colored sweat will appear from the torso in large quantities, and the high temperature will make this poisonous liquid evaporate into a bright red mist, like a burning flame.
There have been several records in history of "burning blood" causing the army fighting against the demons to retreat in battle, but it doesn't seem to be entirely apocryphal.
Even the demons, whose innate strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, cannot bear such a terrifying consumption, and almost every warrior who uses "burning blood" will die in that battle - except for the golden blood.
"A dragon deserves this. ”
Yuan Chi stepped out of the swirling red mist and stood in front of Magellan, he had completely changed, and he looked imbued with some kind of inhuman aura, which made him more like some kind of beast than a human.
Magellan laughed, and then he flew out.
The earthy yellow sand dunes were getting farther and farther away, and Yuan Chi above was particularly conspicuous, and he rushed out of the red mist, his body burning with muddy flames, and then soared into the sky.
Unable to dodge in the air, Magellan dodged a punch with his head down, but could not dodge the incoming kick, which caused him to fall like a meteorite and fall into the sand.
When Magellan pulled his right leg out of the sand, Yuan Chi was already standing in front of him.
"Demons can fly?"
"After burning blood," Motochi patiently waited for Magellan to get back on his feet, as patient as a boxer waiting for the sandbags to return to their original positions, "yes." ”
"People are born different......
Magellan shook his head and sighed.
"Demons are not humans. ”
Yuan Chi felt that his opponent was ready, so he rushed up with flames again.
......
"These plants ......" Dontès looked at the second floor of the garden, not knowing where to look, it was full of plants she had never seen before, and at the same time, the flow of essence was particularly striking, "are they gathering essence?"
"Yes," the countess began to think that the second layer of magic might be completed sooner than she expected, "some kind of accident...... Or elaborately, magic, or magic. ”
"This is something that should not be overlooked," Dantès gradually showed what a scholar should have, "that living beings are so closely related to essences that this part is now a blank slate in the most popular theories." ”
"I'm sorry, but I think your research can make up for that," the countess turned the shadow in her eyes, looking for the node of the second magic circle, "but before then, we can finish this sacrifice first." ”
"These plants, their power comes from the followers of Isitar......" Dantès' guess was almost entirely correct, "the magic of the goddess?"
"When you see the Goddess, you can ask her personally, and I think Isitar will be happy to answer. ”
Before that, though, they need to reorganize the magic array.
The phantom in the countess's eyes was completely different from that of the first layer, the lines were still chaotic, but the logic behind them was completely different.
The countess was sure of this almost as soon as she saw the second layer, and she saw where the four corners of the stars should be, but there were no stone pillars there.
"Where should we start?"
"Origin. ”
The countess wasn't sure if it would all start the same way as the first floor, but she did see the groove where the magic lamp was placed.
But it didn't all start.
The magic lamp glowed in the hollow, and the power of the essence flowed around, but the magic circle did not react.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Logic. ”
Dantès was a little confused, but she quickly understood.
"It's a ...... The magic of the concept?"
"This time we need to find a new symbol, and it seems that the goddess doesn't like to stay the same either. ”
The countess looked around, not knowing where what she was looking for might be.
"Is there anything different here?"
"The water," the countess walked towards the shadows, "or...... Plants?"
No one knows the right answer, and the second layer of the ruins is far more complicated than the first.
The confluence of the essence in the darkness was flowing freely, and the light flowed from beneath the plants, obscured by some elusive force, and looked blurry and ethereal.
There was nothing the countess wanted, nothing had changed before and after the magic lamp was in place, she couldn't see any clues, and the essence was hidden in the shadows.
"It's incredible, I thought I knew that plants could affect essences......" Dantès looked at the water in the shadows, she had seen the essence converging made by potions, but she still sighed at the influence of these plants on the essence, they even made the essence converging imperceptible, which was a miracle that almost everyone dared not imagine, "Can this really exist?"
"You've seen it," the countess smiled, thinking that she might have seen what she was looking for, "yes, the confluence of the essence is hardly affected by anything, but these plants, let them change the ...... completely"
Enough, this force is enough to make the magic circle work, as long as the right node is found.
The countess began to turn the mechanism, and the four corners of the stars turned with it, and then she saw what she wanted.
"Let's take a look. ”
The countess stepped out of the shadows, and she followed the stone path in the garden over the water and stood under a large tree.
It is a beautiful plant with a tall trunk and lush foliage, and the desert sun shines through the green, turning them into emerald green.
Under the tree is a meadow, and the water flows along the canal, I don't know if it is an illusion, but the light of the essence is not so brilliant under the tree.
"This magic...... Is it just to get the water to reach the garden on the upper floor?"
Dantès looked up at the sunlight shining through the leaves, and she felt the flow of essence.
"No, the sacrifice may seem meaningless," the countess stretched out her right hand, "but there is never a meaningless sacrifice. ”
Something that had been in the void began to turn.
