Chapter 19: Confronting the Demons
In the forest, it is the middle of the day, and the dense foliage does not completely block the strong sunlight, but the rays of light are reflected through the gaps between the green leaves, and the never-ending sound of insects adds a touch of nature to this vibrant forest, and the summer breeze rushes into these high trees, bringing a very pleasant and comfortable feeling.
However, this breeze blew on Luo Miao's body, but it sent chills down her spine......
But of course, not because of this breeze, but because of the scene in front of him......
More than two meters tall, nearly five meters long, scarlet and steaming eyes, a huge mouth with a row of long fangs is flowing some saliva along the corners of the mouth, I don't know if it's because of precautions, or is preparing to attack, this monster with black hair that looks like a tiger but has two horns has quietly stretched out its claws, and the fluff on its neck has been erected because of vigilance, and a low roar comes out of its throatγ
In my mind, a string of information emerged; Horned Tiger, a common species of desolate demons, most of the classes are of the first order, and very few have the ability to break through to the second or third order, the class method of distinguishing; pay attention to the color of the horns on the top of the head, the horns of the second-order horned tigers will appear on each side of the red, the third order is two sections, and so on.
This desolate demon is usually distributed in some tropical rainforests or subtropical mountain ranges, the horned tiger lives alone, has a strong desire for human aggression, and has a little territorial consciousness, but at this point it is usually forced back by other powerful desolate demons.
The Horned Tiger's horns and two forepaws are two of its most powerful attacks, and its weakness lies in the location of its jaw near its neck.
The Horned Tiger is a stronger species among the first-order desolate demons, with sufficient strength and agile movements, but its intelligence is extremely low, if you are a first-order mage, please do what you can.
For more than 1,000 years, people have long been able to understand these common low-level desolate demons, so this paragraph of information is very sufficient, fully introducing the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of the horned tiger, but these are not the reasons to calm Luo Miao down.
Old Man Luo was standing on the treetop of a tall tree at this time, and the coercion that Luo Miao couldn't feel from his body was forcing the horned tiger below, making it dare not make any movements, and it stiffened there.
However, this is only based on the coercion of Old Man Luo, once Old Man Luo is revoked, then this horned tiger that has been used by Old Man Luo may not necessarily make some offensive actions.
Grandpa, it's a little more difficult for you to cross this time!
Some fine sweat oozed from Luo Miao's forehead, and those who didn't face the desolate demons couldn't feel the bloody aura emanating from them, the aura that seemed to be the invitation of the king of Hades, and the feeling of oppression that could not be touched in the air.
How many people were frightened and frightened from the very beginning of facing the desolate demons, and their faces were like ashes, the smell of blood that seemed to be rushing to their faces was too strong, and the ferocious aura exuded by these desolate demons could directly crush some people with weak hearts.
It can be said that when facing the desolate demon for the first time, even the vast majority of the teenagers and girls who became mages would be frightened to the point that their faces turned pale, and their bodies were as if they had been hit by the bondage magic technique, and a few people could only keep a cool head when facing the oppressive aura of the desolate demon.
Luo Miao's situation at this time is much harsher than those teenagers and girls who have become mages, maybe they still have elders or teachers to escort them when facing the desolate demons, or they are facing them with other peers, most of these teenagers and teenagers who are facing the desolate demons for the first time, no, they should all be brought out by the elders or teachers to feel the oppressive aura of the desolate demons.
But Luo Miao's situation at this time is completely different from them, he is facing this terrifying existence alone, less than ten meters away, and most importantly, Luo Miao, who understands his grandfather's thoughts, is very suspicious that Old Man Luo wants him to fight against his own desolate demon, and this possibility is still nine out of ten probability.
It's different, it's really different! Luo Miao really didn't understand where his idea of wanting to see what the desolate demon looked like came from? The desolate demon was not the animal in the zoo that had been raised to the point of completely losing its animal nature, but a demon beast that seemed to have wandered out of the desolate ancients!
Swallowing and foaming with difficulty, even this action was cautious, for fear of making the slightest noise to trigger the attack of this desolate demon, Luo Miao, who had cold hands and feet, glanced at the old man Luo above and winked at him, and anyone could see the pleading meaning in his eyes.
Old Man Luo turned a blind eye to Luo Miao's gaze, and began to say to himself: "Sun'er, I will now tell you a standard measuring stick to measure the strength of a mage, hunting the desolate demon of the same class! A mage who cannot achieve this premise cannot be said to be a mage who has broken through to that stage at all, and if the class goes up, what is the use of not reaching the standard? The greatest significance of our mages since their birth is to fight against the desolate demons! Not to do some meaningless struggles with other mages." Sun, I admit that your strength has reached the standard of a first-order mage, but it is only in the battle between mages and mages, and I don't know what level you can reach in the battle with the desolate demons.
The horned tiger in front of you is an assessment for you, a more severe assessment than mine.
Can you feel the ferociousness and the smell of blood coming from it? Can you suppress the fear in your heart and deal with it with a cool head, this will be your biggest problem.
I'm watching you, and I won't put your life at risk, but I'm not going to stop you from hurting injuries that aren't life-threatening. I don't want to see you forget what you've learned before when facing the desolate demon, I want to see you make a reasonable response when facing the desolate demon, the desolate demon is terrifying, but the desolate demon in front of you has nothing but a relatively powerful attack power, using the knowledge you have before, as well as the combat experience, you should know the strengths and weaknesses of the horned tiger clearly, right?
Not only do you have the advantage of wisdom, but you also have the advantage of strength, you are a four-line mage, you know, and it's just the ability to scare you by some ferocious aura. Aren't all these reasons the reason for you to get rid of the fear in your heart? Why should you be afraid of it when you are armed with strength and knowledge? Can it kill you with this ferocious aura?! No, those are just some of the characteristics it has as a desolate demon, just as we humans have a high degree of intelligence!"
I have to say that the sonorous words in the back paragraph of Old Man Luo knocked into Luo Miao's heart, dispelling the feeling of nervousness and trembling in his heart a lot, and the rotation of thoughts in his head was not as stiff as before.
Yes, Grandpa was right, he had so many advantages that this desolate demon didn't have, so why should I be afraid of it? After all, the stiffness caused by this tension was only caused by the fear in my heart.
A hint of realization appeared in Luo Miao's eyes, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the tension in them was completely gone, replaced by a hint of perseverance.
Old Man Luo, who was always paying attention to Luo Miao's situation, nodded slightly, and a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Although it is really as he said, Luo Miao has so many advantages that this horned tiger does not have, but a simple verbal overview can not completely dissipate the fear in a person's heart, after all, the kind of oppression of the desolate demon is really impossible to describe in words, without any physical contact, but the kind of looking at the original sunny sky has been black like ink at this time, like the quiet oppression before the storm can really make a person's hands and feet shiver.
Even if he himself was accompanied by the elders of the clan when he was a teenager, he couldn't be as calm as Xiang Luo Miao at this time.
Facing the fear of facing the desolate demon is something that everyone will have, but how to control this fear is a test of a person's heart.
Old Man Luo knew that Luo Miao, who had lost his memory, could not adjust this fear through his simple and somewhat weak state of mind at this stage, so he hoped to dissipate some of the fear in his heart through verbal encouragement and comparison.
But what Old Man Luo didn't expect was that this result was a little more than he expected, and sure enough, the grandson he recognized could always bring him some unexpected situations.
"Grandson, there are unpredictable changes in actual combat, especially the battle with the desolate demon, you have to be cautious, and it is not impossible for something to happen suddenly that I didn't expect and didn't have time to stop, so remember not to make some impulsive actions. Old Man Luo reminded.
Although the previous is really as he said, theoretically Luo Miao has the advantage, but the actual result is not until the last step, no one knows, after all, Luo Miao does not have any practical experience in fighting against desolate demons, and the knowledge recorded from the books alone is too unreliable, so it is necessary for Old Man Luo to remind him more.
Luo Miao nodded, of course he knew to be cautious, after all, in the face of a devouring desolate demon, few first-order mages might not be able to have a passionate mood.
"Prepare for five seconds from me to let go of the crested tiger. β
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
