Chapter 4: Synthetic Beasts
A deep, powerful roar suddenly echoed in my ears.
Mu Yun suddenly felt ominous, and just as he was judging the source by the sound, suddenly a strong wind fell from the sky, the speed of this creature was too fast, like a ghost, it came instantly, a pair of pitch-black blades, fiercely slashed on the light shield. The spell defense that Mu Yun left on his body was originally a light shield with a level 2 defense ability, but at this moment, two huge openings were cut in an instant.
Two black bladed eyes fell on Mu Yun.
Suddenly.
Mu Yun suddenly rose horizontally, and the double-bladed slashing blade burst out with sparks, although the opponent first shattered the spell shield and then slashed at Mu Yun, but it still had a very terrifying power. At Mu Yun's critical moment, he suddenly activated the effect of the Lion and Tiger Bracelet, and his strength increased several times in an instant, and he suddenly picked the monster away.
Mu Yun's wrists were very painful, and if he wasn't protected by True Qi, he was afraid that he would be in danger of fracture or dislocation.
I should be glad that I learned a little martial arts!
Otherwise, the warlock would have almost no better countermeasures when he encountered a sneak attack like this just now, and the final result would be death. The monster failed to attack Mu Yun, but was knocked out by a huge force, flying upside down about five or six meters in the air, its wings slapped violently, lifted the dust on the ground, and suddenly rose into the air, instantly rushing to a height of dozens of meters.
"So fast?"
Mu Yun didn't even clear the other party's appearance.
"Roar!"
The monster screamed and spewed out a thunderbolt, Mu Yun turned his true qi, kicked the ground suddenly, jumped more than three meters in the air, jumped behind a tombstone, and saw that the ground he was standing on was hit by lightning, and he was immediately blown out of a small crater.
"Hell, this beast still has spell powers!"
Mu Yun hurriedly got behind another tombstone, but just as he jumped away, the tombstone was blown open by a corner. Mu Yun hid on the back of the stone stele, the monster was very fast, Mu Yun didn't even recite a spell, it swung and swooped around in the air, and immediately appeared above Mu Yun's head, the distance between the two was less than 8 meters, and a hot and fierce tongue of fire suddenly attacked, drowning four or five meters away.
Mu Yun was surrounded by flames, and hurriedly activated a talisman to provide temporary protection, and at the same time violently waved his hand and threw the long sword, the monster easily avoided the thrown long sword, and then continued to breathe fire, trying to roast Mu Yun into charcoal.
Suddenly!
Bang!
The monster wailed, and a bullet exploded a hole in its chest.
Mu Yun shot three more shots in a row, all the monsters were shot, and they were immediately injured a lot, and the monster quickly released the magic power, and a layer of light black energy shield slowly formed. Mu Yun didn't give the monster a chance, the spell lines of the dawn revolver lit up, directly aimed at the monster's head, and another bullet shot out, a meteor-like bullet instantly penetrated the unformed defensive shield, passed through the monster's head, and instantly lifted off the general head.
The monster fell to the ground, twitching and struggling, crawling slowly, though it was not half of its head.
Mu Yun loaded a few bullets in the revolver bullet nest, aimed at the monster and fired a few shots, and the monster finally didn't move.
Mu Yun turned over the two tombstones, picked up the long sword on the ground, and walked to the monster with the sword, this guy's legs were still twitching slightly, Mu Yun stuffed the gun back into the holster, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and poked it twice. Finally, this guy died no more!
At this time, Mu Yun was very embarrassed, his cloak had been burned out, his face was black, he took off his hat, his hair was scorched, and he was still smoking. Fortunately, he was wearing a golden silk robe, which was very resistant to ability attacks, otherwise he would definitely suffer severe burns. Mu Yun treated several minor injuries and healed the burns on his body, so he had time to observe the monster carefully.
This is a real monster.
The monster had a pimple-like head like a lizard, a torso resembling an orangutan or other primate, arms shaped like a scythe like a praying mantis, legs with razor-sharp eagle grasps, a pair of huge fleshy wings without feathers on its back, and a black and hideous tail, very much like a scorpion tail, glowing dark green.
This kind of body structure is very stiff, purely taken from different creatures, and finally forcibly put together!
Mu Yun felt very confused, because creatures are not tools, how can they be spliced together randomly? Not to mention creatures of completely different populations, even within a population, even within a race, organs and limbs cannot be spliced together casually.
What's going on with this monster?
Could it be a refining beast?
Mu Yun thought of a possibility.
This beast refining is a very ancient and special esoteric science, and its essence is similar to that of alchemy. Alchemy is the intervention of different materials through spells, causing them to undergo unexpected reactions or even transmutations, and finally transform them into a certain substance that is needed. Refining beasts and refining medicine is similar, in fact, it is to use demonic beasts and demonic beasts to refine creatures, which is a very, very complex technology.
Regarding the refining of beasts, Mu Yun only knew a little about the fur.
Beast refining techniques are popular among the Terrans, because spell golems are simpler and cheaper to craft than synthesizers, and it is easier to complete the specified functions and desired effects. Robots were commonly used by the Terrans during the mechanical period, spell puppets were commonly used by the Terrans during the Martial Arts Period, and synthetic beasts have not been very popular in Terran society. That's not to say that synths are necessarily inferior to machines or golems, in fact, synths have a very good point.
That's continuity!
There was a beast refining technology on the mainland tens of thousands of years ago, and the evidence of this is the griffin, which was originally a kind of magical beast born in the laboratory, and later reproduced in large quantities, so it formed a famous demonic beast population, which is the charm of synthetic beasts. It's just that there are very, very few synthetic beasts like griffons with stable life forms and continuous inheritance, and the difficulty of research and development is extremely huge, so except for the griffin accident, there are few other synthetic life on the continent.
"This thing is probably the guardian beast of the cemetery!"
Mu Yun made a judgment, the cemetery was obviously more heavily guarded than expected, in addition to the giants at the entrance of the cemetery, there was also a group of refining beasts living in the cemetery, and each refining beast had a corresponding protection target. As long as the tomb is excavated and destroyed, the Refining Beast will attack accordingly.
Where do these refining beasts live?
The strength of monsters is beyond level 2 and less than level 3, they are fast and powerful, and they have the ability to fly, have a pair of extremely sharp blades, and have very good spell abilities, almost all-round warriors.
Mu Yun had to dig the grave carefully.
The corpse in the coffin will form an undead ghost, and the destruction of the tomb will attract refining beasts, both of which are very dangerous existences, especially when being flanked, Mu Yun's fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, I am afraid that there will be danger.
Mu Yun wandered in the cemetery for a while, and unexpectedly found the corpses of several guardian beasts, these guardian beasts may have been dead for more than thousands of years, their bodies are very large, the structure is more complex, and their strength is far stronger than the one they encountered just now.
This shows that although the refining beast has the ability to reproduce, but the heredity is not stable, so one generation is not as good as the next.
If it were tens of thousands of years ago, if Mu Yun dared to rob the tomb without knowing whether he was alive or dead, any guardian beast here would be able to kill him ten times and eight times in an instant. Although he encountered a small setback, Mu Yun would not give up easily.
When the tomb was re-locked, Mu Yun made a series of preparations.
"Stone Man Summons!"
Mu Yun used a spell to summon a level 2 stone man, whose height was about the same as that of the human race, but it was very stout, and although it was sluggish, it was extremely powerful. Mu Yun hides in a safe corner and uses a spell to control the stone man towards a tomb.
The stone man raised a large stone stick and struck a large hole.
Pull it suddenly.
The coffin was dragged out and thrown several meters away.
Then the stone man walked to the second tomb, smashed it with a stick, and then pulled out the coffin and threw it aside.
The Stone Man had just smashed three tombs.
At this time, the sky was already ringing with a scream, and in the distance, I saw several monsters rising in the sky, coming fiercely in the direction of the tomb. Mu Yun hurriedly recited the incantation, and the stone man was driven by the order, and immediately took a step forward and rushed in one direction.
For the sake of safety, Mu Yun immediately cut off contact with the stone man.
Although the stone man kept running, about more than 100 meters away, but the speed of the refining beast was too fast, and the three refining beasts basically caught up with the stone man at the same time, first a fierce dive, the blade slashed on the stone man, and a large amount of broken stone was chopped. The stone man didn't fight back, it was still moving forward.
The monster hovered into the air again.
Boom! Boom!
Two bolts of lightning exploded on the stone man, and the terrifying force knocked the stone man to the ground, and the three monsters swooped down on it, slashing the stone man frantically, and finally completely shattered the stone man. When the monster kills the stone man who destroyed the tomb, the monster circles around the area twice, hissing in bursts, and finally flapping its wings and disappearing.
Mu Yun stood up.
The plan worked.
Monsters don't have a very high IQ and will only attack targets that destroy tombs.
Mu Yun walked to the coffin, pulled out the sword from his waist, first recited a spell silently, his fingers brushed over the blade, and the blade was blessed with a layer of rich light energy. Mu Yun opened the coffin, and when he saw the remains, he didn't wait for the spell to change, first stabbed it with a sword, and then used a purification technique.
There was a terrible scream from the coffin.
The entire body was vaporized.
Mu Yun groped inside the coffin for a while, in addition to finding a storage pocket, he also found a string of black bracelets, Mu Yun didn't know what to use for the time being, he just put it on his hand, and then waited for a few seconds, as expected, no monsters appeared.
These monsters are guarding the cemetery, and each one will be in charge of an area, and will only jump out and destroy the invaders if the cemetery is destroyed.
Mu Yun opened the other two coffins as well, one of which found a necklace and a sharp dagger, and the other found a piece of soft armor.
Mu Yun raised his head and his gaze fell on the tower at the top of the cemetery.
The status of the deceased buried in the tower must be higher, so what kind of burial goods will appear inside?
