Chapter 18: The Great Demon Statue
The rising figure of the green flame of Fei She came to the gate of the stone tower, took a deep breath, raised the dark green light blade in his hand, and prepared to forcibly break into the door and enter the ancient ruins alone.
"Wait!" The Red Flame Swordsman Tagler had already recovered a little fighting spirit at this time, the dark red light flame on his body was rekindled, and the flaming twin knives also extended out of his hand, "You are just a war spirit, and you want to swallow the treasure alone, do you think the four of us will really agree?"
Only an hour ago, he had formed an alliance with the Earth Magister, and had been at odds with Fontaine and Eunice, but now he was called "we", and seemed to be on the same side as the latter two.
Fischer laughed again:
"I'm a mere war spirit, but what realm my Blood Soul Valley Sect Master is, you should know very well. He didn't come today because he was so sure that none of you wanted him to visit the old man one by one!"
This sentence immediately made Tagler lose his arrogance, and the Grand Magister Eunice sneered:
"I'm not afraid of him!"
Fei She was confident, and responded with a smile:
"Master, you and our Sect Master are the only two fifth-order powerhouses in the empire, and maintaining goodwill will be beneficial to both parties. The Overlord will also consider your share of the treasure. If you have to be embarrassed, we will have a hard time getting along in the future. Excuse me, who is more afraid of a surprise attack and plot? Law job, or war job? By the way, I remind you, our Blood Soul Valley is studying the assassination system!"
As soon as the words fell, the green flame Fei She suddenly disappeared into the air, assassination is a fourth-order professional skill, sneaking!
Eunice frowned, waved his hand and flicked a wind slash, whistling towards the shadows by the door.
Fischer let out a low roar, and his figure reappeared, and the green dagger in his hand slashed away, scattering the wind blade, and he staggered back two steps slightly.
Eunice sneered:
"Think I can't see you? If you are arrogant in front of me, you have to suffer a little first!"
"Do you want to do it?" Fei Sher looked hideous and hurried forward.
At this moment, the heavens and the earth suddenly shook, this time the momentum was even more terrifying, a pillar of light went straight to the clouds, huge mouths cracked everywhere on the ground, and the whole mountain seemed to collapse at any moment, and the rubble rolled and soared.
At this moment, in the underground hall, the soles of the feet and the four walls are also shaking. Chang Le stared at the progress of the backup system start-up, and until "100%" was completed, he patted himself on the chest:
"Fortunately!
After the roar, many of the originally dim lights were turned on, making the entire hall as bright as day. The gray icons on the "Defense System" screen have also been activated.
The new interface quickly appeared, accompanied by a nice female voice prompt:
"The backup energy can last for fifteen to twenty years, so please fill the No. 1 ambient fusion furnace with fuel before the system fails. ”
Chang Le frowned, and asked Anita with his mind:
"What is a fusion furnace, what is the fuel, is it okay to have firewood?"
Of course, firewood can't, but Anita's explanation is like a book from heaven, and when Chang Le was listening to his head like a fight, Wendy's unprecedented scream suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Teacher, save the teacher!"
Chang Le hurriedly turned around, but saw that the projection of the battlefield on the mountainside had undergone earth-shattering changes, dozens of huge steel beasts broke through the ground, and almost the entire hillside raised terrifying and hideous links and feet, densely packed, terrifying and disgusting!
At the same time, more metal towers emerged from the earth, and the metal tubes on the towers elongated and turned rapidly, pointing at Eunice and the others!
"What the hell!"
Fischer roared, didn't care about fighting against Eunice again, his body shook strangely, avoiding the wrists and feet smashed by the head and face, and then accelerated suddenly, several times faster than Chang Le's "cunning rabbit" state, his body elongated into a string of phantoms, and instantly fled into the distant forest, this is the way of fighting in the assassination system, never fight hard!
And the four people left behind were more miserable, a black light spewed out from the metal pipe, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed the sky, the earth demon master was still shouting and directing the clay demon to attack just now, and after being swept by the beam, the whole person turned into ashes silently!
He was the furthest away from the Iron Troll, so he was a priority target.
And Eunice and Fontaine are fighting with the trolls, the situation is also dangerous, they can't clean up a monster just now, not to mention that there are dozens of them around now!
"This is the Light of Destruction!
The black light provoked Marshal Fontaine's terrified roar, which was clearly audible even from the projections in the hall.
Chang Le suddenly realized that activating the backup energy source and activating the defense facilities of the demon ruins was equivalent to sending Master Eunice to death!
He hurriedly pounced in front of the control panel of the defense system, and scrambled all the time.
Wendy was already out of order, crying and shouting, "What about big brother!"
However, Chang Le's movements were extremely skillful, and his mind was quite agile, so he quickly chose to "turn off active defense" and "turn on passive defense".
As a result, while Eunice, Fontaine, and the others were still shouting "Otherworldly Demons" with all their might, the steel behemoth and the turret were all retracted into the earth, and even the cracks in the earth were slowly closing.
"The entrance to the base is hidden, and the space replacement is successful. ”
As this line of words appeared in front of Chang Le's eyes, Eunice and the others couldn't even find the ancient stone tower, and the original messy mountainside battlefield disappeared completely, replaced by a dense shrub.
"This ...... This...... How can you regain invisibility?" the Grand Demon Guide and the Marshal were both dumbfounded, "The Ancient Barrier that has collapsed can still be automatically restored?
In the base, in the hall, Wendy, whose face was full of tears, also stopped crying, and looked at the projection in a daze, as surprised as the teacher.
After a moment, she turned to Chang Le:
"Big brother...... This...... You did all this?"
Chang Le nodded solemnly:
"I did it, and, moreover, confirmed a long-standing conjecture I had ......"
"What conjecture?" Looking at Chang Le's expression, Wendy's face was slightly uneasy.
"I won't hide it from you. Chang Le's voice was low, "This place is not a Saint Emperor ruin, but a base of ancient demons, and I probably know how to use it through bloodline memory." Because I'm ...... Son of the Devil!"
There is no way to hide this, even if Wendy can't guess it, as soon as she goes back and tells the teacher, the knowledgeable great wizard can immediately guess the clue.
Kill Wendy and kill her? That's even more impossible! Chang Le didn't have any such thoughts.
After hearing this amazing secret, Wendy stared at her big brother for a while, and suddenly her eyebrows were overjoyed, waving her hands, and dancing around Chang Le:
"Son of the Devil! I know the Son of the Devil! I am a friend of the Son of the Devil! Devil! Great!"
Chang Le couldn't cry or laugh:
"Aren't you afraid? Demons have always tried to conquer the world and enslave humanity!"
Wendy smiled innocently:
"Big brother is such a kind person, conquer the world? I think it's okay! The world must be better than it is now!"
"Why don't you have a sense of right and wrong at all?" Chang Le pointed at Wendy's nose, "Demons are demons, how can you let demons conquer the world and let darkness replace light?"
Wendy pretended to be ashamed and bowed her head, and after a moment she burst into laughter:
"Big brother, how can a bad guy educate a good guy in turn?"
"Because I don't want to be a demon at all! I can also use this demon base for good deeds. ”
Chang Le smiled, turned his gaze back to the hall projection, and watched Eunice and the others walking around on the hillside, still looking around with palpitations, and soon after, the skill of the Great Demon Guide's cooldown ended, and he used the "Wind Wings" to fly into the sky, but he still didn't know the essentials, and he couldn't find the existence of the base at all.
Wendy gloated and grinned, pointing to the teacher's image:
"The dead old woman is dumbfounded, haha!"
Chang Le continues education with a black face:
"Wendy, your teacher is so kind to you, don't call her a dead old woman anymore! ”
"Oh!" Wendy pouted obediently and bowed her head, but there was still a wicked smile on her lips.
"And she's not dead, she's not old, she's still so beautiful......" Chang Le looked at the great magic guide who flew gracefully like a goddess, and looked a little stupid, this is a mysterious and graceful beauty, so he can't help but admire.
"Don't look at it!" Wendy's small hands were covered, covering Chang Le's eyes tightly.
Chang Le laughed, took Wendy's little hand off his face, and held it in his hand:
"Don't look at them stupid, let's go shopping elsewhere!"
It wasn't until Chang Le left the hall that Eunice in the projection suddenly remembered his students, and hurriedly put aside the matter of the "Holy Emperor Ruins", expanded the flight range, and shouted to the entire forest:
"Wendy, Wendy, where are you?"
Marshal Fontaine was also in a hurry, and ran on the ground, shouting in a louder voice:
"Her Royal Highness, Your Highness, Princess Wendy!"
Chang Le didn't hear this, he always felt that there was an important place to go, and guided him completely intuitively, leading Wendy around the east and west, to the metal door at a certain intersection, and pressing the mechanism on the wall. The door quickly opened to the left and right, and closed automatically when the two entered.
It was a tiny room, with a bunch of touch buttons lined up by the door, all with numbers written on them.
Chang Le touched "-18" with his finger, and suddenly felt his body light, as if the floor under his feet was falling rapidly, Wendy also let out a low exclamation, and reached out to grab the corner of Chang Le's clothes.
When the door opened again, the view had changed, and it was a super large hall!
Not only is the area large, but also extremely high, it feels like a huge karst cave in the belly of the mountain, and the two of Changle are in the spiral staircase corridor on the cliff, and they have to go around many times to reach the bottom of the hall.
Wendy, of course, was another barrage of exclamations.
Chang Le was silent, walking down, his eyes already focused on an altar-like place at the bottom of the hall.
On the altar stood a statue, not grandiose, life-size, insignificant in such an open space.
However, as the distance approached, Chang Le felt that the statue was getting taller and taller, so tall that it produced an indescribable sense of oppression.
Wendy felt something similar, stopped her twittering comments, her little face turned slightly pale, and she asked timidly:
"Big brother...... That statue...... Is it your demonic ancestor?"
Chang Le shook his head slightly, slowly walked to the altar and jumped up.
Of course, "tall" is just a psychological illusion, from some kind of inexplicable coercion, and this statue is a life-size figure, and the image is lifelike, the color is simple and natural, it is simply a living person, Chang Le felt in a trance that she was about to speak.
Wendy followed, then covered her mouth, and after a while she shouted:
"Oh my God! she's so beautiful!"
For some reason, Chang Le looked at the statue, and a burst of unspeakable sadness surged in his heart.
"Big brother, are you sad?" Wendy looked at Chang Le's expression very seriously, "She is your ancestor......?" Is it your mother?"
Chang Le still shook his head: "I don't know anything, it's just that something in my blood has been touched......"
The statue is a woman, the age is actually very small, but about sixteen years old, holding a black dagger in her right hand, a small black shield tied to her left arm, a black belt tied around her waist, a short skirt and bare feet, long hair flying, slender ** bent knees staggered, the whole person bows down and gathers momentum, as if ready to plunge into the fight to the death at any time, the posture is vigorous, the eyes are sharp, but they can't hide the naughty and playful smile at the corner of the mouth.
And her face is so beautiful that it can't be described in human language, in fact, she is not human at all, because she still has a pair of cat ears and a vigorous tail behind her!
The strange thing is that the cat ears on the head of the statue have no sense of disobedience, just like a human beautiful girl wearing a headdress, and the tail brings her not weird, but doubly cute.
"Is she a demon or an orc?" Wendy asked in a stupid whisper.
Chang Le immediately thought of Xiao Bai, and the old black of the split-toothed leopard reflected a problem, saying that Xiao Bai had the blood pressure of the "Superior Great Demon Venerable"!
And Xiaobai appeared automatically at this moment, carefully jumped onto the altar, and sniffed around the feet of the statue. After this cat is upgraded, it is completely free from the constraints of the beast soul space.
"Ahh
Chang Le didn't answer positively, first pointed to the statue, and then pointed to Xiaobai:
"Xiaobai is my pet, and this statue may be its ancestor, the so-called 'Superior Great Demon Venerable'!"
"Wow! Sounds amazing!" Wendy covered her mouth again, her face amazed.
There is no doubt that Xiaobai must have a relationship with this statue, and Changle is closely related to the entire base, so it is not accidental that this person and a cat met at the beginning, I am afraid that it has long been doomed.
Wendy is full of love for small animals, and can't help but hug Xiaobai at this time, and Xiaobai is concentrating on looking up at the statue, and is frightened by Wendy's movements, the fluff of his whole body explodes, and he hunched his back to make a "hiss" warning sound, and he almost scratched it with his paws.
Xiaobai looks weak and cute, but once he makes a move, his thunderous blow can't even resist the Warcraft Split-tooth Leopard!
Wendy, in turn, was frightened by Xiaobai, and jumped backwards with an "oops", and then was extremely aggrieved.
Chang Le smiled: "It's not familiar with you, it will be fine in the future." ”
However, this sentence is purely comforting, because Xiaobai is really irritable at the moment, and he is not very friendly to Chang Le, and does not allow anyone to get close to the statue and himself.
Chang Le tried to communicate with its thoughts, but there was still no response, so he had to sigh and take a few steps back, helplessly looking at Xiaobai and then at the statue.
Fortunately, Xiaobai quickly got out of his crazy state, lowered his head and was quiet for a moment, then slowly walked in front of Chang Le, rubbing his cheeks on his trouser leg to show goodwill, as if apologizing for his behavior just now.
Chang Le smiled softly and took Xiaobai into his arms and stroked it, but when Wendy also stretched out a hand, he was still warned by the cat's "hissing".
This time Wendy is on fire:
"Hmph! a stinky kitten, the size of a shelf!"
At this moment, an idea suddenly came into Chang Le's mind:
"I hate her!"
Chang Le was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that this was Xiaobai's idea! This was the first time it had taken the initiative to communicate!
"Wendy is a good person, very kind, and likes you very much!" Chang Le hurriedly sent this idea back.
"I hate her!" Xiaobai is still stubborn.
"Okay, okay......"
Changle no longer tries to influence its opinion of Wendy, and instead asks Xiaobai about the statue's identity.
Xiaobai's thoughts were hesitant, and his emotions were also very uncalm:
"Close, but afraid...... I don't know...... She was...... Ancestors?"
"I also feel weird...... Maybe I'll figure it out in the future. ”
Chang Le smiled and stroked the fine fluff on Xiaobai's back, hoping to calm his panic.
"That equipment ......" Xiaobai turned to the statue again, his round eyes shining with a little crystalline.
"What equipment?" Chang Le's gaze followed the cat's gaze.
At this moment, Wendy, who loves to help the most, came to make trouble again, and her slender fingers slowly reached out from the side and pulled on Xiaobai's short tail.
Xiaobai suddenly went crazy again, roaring with hair, kicking sharply on his hind legs, waving his front paws, and looking like he was going to fight Wendy, Wendy took two steps back, stuck out his tongue and grimaced.
"You two!" Chang Le controlled Xiaobai hard, kicked Wendy again, and shouted with a smile, "Be honest!
The "business" is to remove the equipment from the statue, which is not a work of art, but real weapons and armor that the statue holds or wears!
Chang Le first put Xiaobai back into the beast soul space, let it be alone and quiet, and explore its "bloodline memory".
Then, he bowed to the radiant statue of Catwoman, apologized to the suspected "Great Demon Venerable", and then took off the dagger and the small round shield.
The shield is light and strong, and it can be strapped to the arm, freeing up your hands for other tasks. The dagger is a little heavier, with a thick blade and a sharp edge.
After all, they are from the "High Demon Venerable", and they should not be only a little bit better than the work of Uncle Blacksmith.
Wendy curiously leaned over to watch, rubbing lightly on the shield:
"This thing...... It doesn't seem like there are any magic fluctuations......"
If there is no magic fluctuation, it means that it has not reached the level of a "spirit weapon" and will not be too powerful.
Regarding the knowledge of equipment level classification, there is no need for Wendy to explain, Chang Le has already heard Uncle Blacksmith talk about it countless times.
Ordinary sword armor is considered a "mortal weapon", like the masonry hammer used by Chang Le's father, at most a "primary mortal weapon".
For example, the sword made by the blacksmith uncle mixed with meteoric iron and quenched many times is recognized by some adventurers as a "high-class craftsman", and the finished product has always been in short supply. If it weren't for the heavy tax exploitation, the city lord would still requisition it from time to time without compensation, and the uncle should have been the richest man in the untouchable area.
And mixed with special magic materials, the equipment made by famous craftsmen and magicians, because it can attach special attributes, as if it has spirituality, is called "spirit weapon", even if the super master of the war spirit level, he can condense weapons or armor with fighting spirit, and the performance is far better than that of top craftsmen.
A top-grade spiritual weapon is already a rare treasure in the world, and it may not be possible to exchange the wealth of the entire kingdom for one.
As for the higher ones, there is only the "artifact" left over from ancient times, this kind of thing is hard to find, even if it is the wind system great demon Eunice, there is no artifact on his body.
Legend has it that there are even more terrible "holy weapons", but except for the "Light Dao Mark" of the Xilu Light Cathedral, no one has ever seen anything else that can be called a "holy weapon", and the reason is very simple, the prerequisite for becoming a holy weapon is that it is "made by the Lord God of Light himself".
Since the statue in front of him is the "Superior Great Demon Venerable", whether the equipment on his body has been used by him or not, it should not be too bad, otherwise it is simply a blasphemy.
But why aren't they even spiritual weapons, and why does Xiaobai take them so seriously?
Chang Le's consciousness penetrated the beast soul bell and asked Xiaobai again, but after the cat regained its calm, it returned to the isolation state of laziness and dislike of communication.
Chang Le shook his head helplessly, put the black dagger across his palm, and flicked it with his fingers, the sound was not gold or stone, I don't know what material it was, in addition to being sharp and heavy, there was something special about it, that is, the blade of the knife revealed a chill that pierced the bone marrow.
Wendy's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Big brother, there are no magic fluctuations before the artifact is recognized, can you drip blood and try again?"
"Dripping blood to recognize the master?" Chang Le suddenly remembered that the Beast Soul Bell had "collected blood samples" and opened the "gene lock" process, could it be that the artifact was the same way?
He grasped the dagger in his right hand and gently tugged at the little finger of his left hand, and the blade was stained with a trace of blood.
Sure enough, a fluorescence flashed on the dark dagger, and the whole shook slightly, and Chang Le felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had been electrified, numb, happy, nervous, and looking forward to it!
A thought came to mind clearly, that he and the blade had become one, and from then on, a knife was a hand, and a hand was a knife!
Chang Le's hand was empty, and the dagger had disappeared inexplicably, but it had not been included in the beast soul space.
"The hand is the knife!" With the movement of Chang Le's thoughts, a powerful energy was generated from his soul, and the electric current was transmitted along the spine and nerves, quickly condensing to the palm of the hand, and then turning into a dark dagger body again, cold and cold.
"It's easy to use, it's sharp enough, it's a pity it's too small, and why is there no blood groove?" Chang Le stroked the dagger, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
At this moment, the surface of the dagger suddenly began to bubble, and then rolled, like boiling black water, and then the overall shape began to elongate, and in just a second, it returned to cold and dark metal, but the size had changed to a half-meter-long double-edged short sword, and there was a blood groove!
"Ahh
As he continued to use it, more knowledge of the equipment began to pour into Changle's mind.
The dagger is only a basic form, not all of its power, it can be controlled by the mind to change shape, and the size and weight limit depend on Chang Le's own strength!
So, what are the limits now?
As Chang Le's mind turned, the shape of the short sword changed again, and the black boiling water flew and churned in the air, this time turning into a four-meter war gun, weighing hundreds of kilograms!
Even if the cunning rabbit state was activated, it was difficult for Chang Le to hold such a heavy weapon in one hand, so with a wave of the situation, the war spear was immediately nailed deep into the bluestone ground, and the process was effortless, and there was no loud sound, as if inserting a piece of soft butter!
Wendy jumped to her feet and screamed with joy:
"What an artifact! What an artifact! Big brother! What an artifact!"
