Chapter 156: Fire Elemental (2)
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were many places on the continent where the elements were particularly rich and active, and in these places, a special kind of life form would be born, collectively known as the elemental body.
If the fire element is strong in the place where it was born, it is called the fire element, if the water element is active, it is called the water element, and so on.
Since the elemental body has no entity, ordinary physical attacks cannot cause damage to it at all, and its strength is at the level of a mid-level magical beast even if it is a novice body. Luckily, the elemental body cannot be replenished by eating, and can only survive for a long time by staying near its birthplace, so although its strength should not be underestimated, it does not have much impact on other races.
However, the fact that elemental bodies have no effect on other races does not mean that they can live without the slightest disturbance.
Although the elemental body has no entity, when it dies, it leaves behind an elemental essence corresponding to its attributes.
For human mages and demonic beasts with the same attributes, this elemental essence is extremely precious.
If a monster obtains an elemental essence that matches its attributes and swallows it, its strength will increase explosively, and for human mages, elemental essence is one of the most suitable raw materials for making staffs, and its effect is far greater than that of staffs made of magic cores.
However, it is not a simple matter to obtain the elemental essence, and the elemental body fighting at home can exert a level higher than its own strength, and in addition, because it is surrounded by active and abnormal magic elements, the elemental body can not only launch almost unlimited attacks in such an environment, but also the damage it receives can be healed in a relatively short time. In addition, coupled with the gregarious nature of the elemental body, this makes it as difficult as climbing to the sky to hunt the elemental essence.
Because of this, elemental essences are extremely precious.
After Kumar uttered the word "fire elemental", Leach was ready to run away at any moment. Although only one can be seen with the eye, God knows if there will be a companion in the vicinity.
However, after he saw the true appearance of the so-called fire element, the whole person relaxed again.
Creatures that appear in front of no one else, in the absence of any other name, are called fire elementals. It is not composed purely of fire-based magical elements, as recorded in the books, and has no entity, but rather a roaring flame burning on a humanoid torso.
The torso is dark black, without a head, with two yellow fist-sized dots on the chest, which seem to be eyes, and the arms are long, almost hanging to the ground, and the body and legs are integrated into one, without forks, and it moves as if it is being carried by flames.
"That's what you call the fire elemental?" Leach pouted, the expression on his face disapproving.
Kumar didn't know that this fire element was not the other fire element, from just now, his expression was quite solemn, his eyes stared at the fire element that slowly floated out of the crack without blinking, as if he was afraid that the other party would suddenly burst out, and he didn't even hear that Leach's tone was wrong.
"That's right, this is the fire element. Kumar nodded, "Legend has it that the fire elemental was transformed from the Iron Furnace Dwarves who could not resist the temptation to take the Devil Fruit in ancient times. ”
"The Ironforge Dwarves live near volcanoes and are only interested in two things in their lives, one is to build weapons, and the other is to drink spirits. These two things, with the creation of weapons as a priority, it can be said that in order to create a hand-me-down weapon, the Iron Furnace Dwarves can pay any price, even their lives. ”
"However, heirloom weapons are so easy to forge, and they have extremely strict requirements for raw materials, crafting techniques, and the strength of the blacksmith himself, and it is precisely because the demon sees this that he has tempted many iron furnace dwarves to join their camp. ”
"The Iron Furnace Dwarves are born with divine power, and their combat effectiveness is also undoubted, after taking the Devil Fruit, they not only retain a huge strength, but also gain the ability to manipulate flames, whether it is melee or ranged, heads-up or group fighting, they have unparalleled strength. ”
"After the fight starts, you must be more careful, don't capsize in the gutter, don't think about killing it, and run away immediately when you see the opportunity!"
Leach looked at the fire elemental, and then at Kumar, his face full of puzzlement.
In his opinion, this fire element looked stupid and stupid, and it was quite slow to act, not to mention its strength, even if their movement was restricted because of the crack, but it was not a matter of minutes for them to want to go, it seemed that there was no need to bring it up so solemnly, right?
Before he could ask his question, the fire elemental's next move perfectly explained the reason for Kuma.
I saw that the fire elemental, which was as slow as a snail a moment ago, turned into a red lightning bolt after determining the location of the five of their invaders.
Even because of its speed, when it came to a meter in front of the five people, there were still some sparks that had been pulled out by the high-speed movement in the place where it was standing.
As early as when Leach first introduced the fire elemental, Kumar had already completed his transformation, so although the fire elemental's attack was launched without warning, Kumar still blocked in time.
It's just that because the wind owl is not good at strength, the result of the collision between the two sides naturally ends with Kumar being knocked into the air.
The blow did not make a difference, and as soon as the fire element's right arm was raised, a hammer composed entirely of fire magic elements appeared in its hand in an instant, and without saying a word, it smashed towards Juventus, who was standing behind Kuma.
Because Kuma was blocked in the middle, this gave Juventus time to react, and when the flame hammer swung towards him, he had already flapped his wings to escape the range of the fire elemental, causing the huge hammer to fall into the air.
If it misses again, the fire elemental seems to be a little irritable, and the flames around it burn more and more, and he looks up to the sky and lets out a roar.
Don't look at the image of the fire elemental is a little stupid, but obviously it has a certain amount of wisdom, and after the two blows, it is not in a hurry to continue the pursuit, because after just a short while, the other three have already scattered and fled. Regardless of which direction it attacks, the rest of the people will easily flee or flank it.
After the five Leach left the range of the fire elemental, they did not seize the opportunity to escape. In their haste just now, several of them scattered in the direction of moving away from the huge rift, and if they wanted to continue to advance, they had to overcome the obstruction of the fire elemental.
Just when the five of them were on guard, the flame hammer in the fire element's hand slammed into the ground, and after the ground shook for a while, a black hole with a diameter of nearly five meters appeared in the sight of several people.
