Chapter 272: Divine Beasts? (I)
Salin since he left the city of Ceylon. Nothing was smooth sailing, except for the discovery of the temple this time. According to past experience, he was going to have more headaches next, so he stuffed himself in his barracks to make weapons and equipment.
In fact, Saleen had already made a lot of equipment, but it was all very rough blanks. For example, Kamizakuragi, he has already refined six Sakura arrows for Eleno, but he has already made a whole box of arrow shafts, and the rest is finely processed.
Eva's shield has also been destroyed and needs to be remanufactured, the role of the magic shield is more important than the magician's shield, and Sue's weapon also needs to be replaced with more advanced magic equipment, otherwise his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Instead, there are four demons, and they only need to re-repair their armor and replace some accessories. The demon envoy who is driven by the four demons is basically not counted in Sarin's combat power.
The magicians took turns using alchemical binoculars to observe distant rivers and mountain peaks. However, the magic array in the alchemy telescope has not sounded the alarm. The world created by this goddess is too safe, and the safety is terrifying.
After a day and a half of rest, the team set off again. It took more than an hour for Salin and Rex to finally reach the river.
The river that runs in front of it is about half a mile wide. There is no end in sight. This position is the narrowest part, and a warrior drops a piece of wood, and the dry wood sinks directly into the water.
It was absolutely impossible to cross the river with a boat, and Rex immediately took out a flying golem, a small flying golem that was only more than a meter long, and was thrown out by Rex, flapping its wings, and flying to the other side of the river. Before it could fly ten meters, the magic array on the flying puppet's body rose with green smoke and burned in an instant.
Watching the flying golem worth thousands of gold coins fall into the river, Rex frowned.
The heavy alchemy crossbow was taken out again, and the swordsmen began to assemble it. The heavy alchemy crossbow has a range of more than a mile and can carry ropes. There are large trees on the other side, and as long as you shoot huge arrows through them and make a rope bridge, the swordsmen can travel freely between the two banks.
The heavy alchemy crossbow was set up and aimed at a large tree on the opposite bank for a test shot.
The equipment, which was more than six meters wide, made a roar on the three huge metal supports, and after magic treatment, the arrows more than three meters long still emitted a strong air burst sound wave.
The speed of this heavy alchemy crossbow has surpassed some magic. Ordinary people can't observe it with the naked eye at all, and can only see that a passage with a diameter of half a meter has been opened in the air, forming a hole about 100 meters long.
A huge fish beast suddenly jumped out of the river, biting off the heavy crossbow arrow, and the front half of the crossbow arrow also dragged the fish beast to fly for a distance, deviated from the direction, and fell into the water.
The magicians looked at each other. No one sensed that there was such a creature in the river.
Saleen and Rex glanced at each other, and both of them saw that there was something wrong with it, it wasn't a fish beast at all, but an illusion, and the problem was that this illusion could send out a substantial attack. The fish beast is indeed a powerful creature, but it is not strong enough to bite an alchemical crossbow arrow in flight. The alchemy bolt was still more than a meter above the surface of the river, and under normal circumstances, the fish beast would have to jump before the alchemy crossbow could shoot before it could bite its target.
Rex raised the alchemy telescope, embedded it with a high-level magic core, opened the magic array completely, and observed the upstream and downstream for a minute each, then shook his head and said, "There is no bridge." ”
The group stood in front of the river and was stopped by this river more than 500 meters wide, helpless.
"Give me a battle puppet. Salin pondered for a moment and thought of a question, this is the world of the goddess, only those who abide by the rules of the goddess can enter, and the outer space is needless to say. This is the real dividing line.
Rex took out a small battle golem, which was just over two meters tall, and Saleen released the water shield in his left hand, wrapped the battle golem inside, and pushed it down the river.
Huge bubbles wrapped around the battle golems and floated towards the other side of the river. Everyone stared nervously at this bubble, five hundred meters, is the limit of Sarin's magic. This bubble relied on inertia to send the battle puppet to the opposite shore, and then the battle puppet exerted its strength, drilled out of the bubble, and climbed ashore.
With a whoosh, the water temperature regime flew back, all the way unhindered.
Sarin's shield was fully enclosed, and the goddess's life force was added, and sure enough, under the protection of the bubbles, the battle golem did not receive any attacks, and waited quietly on the other side for orders.
Rex was relieved that if he had to use the power of the Ring of the Divine Rae to cross a river, then basically everyone would not be able to leave this world. It looked peaceful, but it was far more dangerous than the Divine Punishment Territory she and Saleen had entered. The illusion that rushed out of the river was basically equivalent to a seventh-level magician.
Salin remained silent, thinking to himself that his water pattern shield was very special, it was in the form of a bubble, this goddess should not be able to calculate it, right? This river is obviously an impassable barrier, at least a mage below the sixth level has no way to cross it. If you don't absorb the leaves of the Tree of Life, you don't have this special magic. I could only sigh at the temple in the distance.
Is all this a trap left by the gods?
He is not a believer, the gods cannot descend on him, and there is no believer in Rex's team, so it stands to reason that the goddess cannot pin her hopes on this team if she wants to be resurrected. This team is still too small compared to the gods.
"Who came first?" Salin asked.
"I'm coming!" More than a dozen voices came out at the same time, and Salin saw that it was the swordsman and the sword master under Rex, and even the violent bear patted his chest and took the initiative to ask.
Battle golems are not alive, and Saleen can't guarantee that the bubbles will be able to send the living there. The first person to cross the river will definitely risk his life. Rex's subordinates are not afraid of death.
On the other hand, Salin's subordinates all honestly shut up and refused to make such sacrifices. Salin was satisfied, because he knew that as long as he gave orders to these people around him, there would always be one of them who would take the risk. At least the hapless demon can't escape. But Salin didn't speak, and these people knew how to protect themselves.
It's not cowardice, it's not wisdom, it's an attitude of survival.
The stature of the ten swordsmen is almost identical. In the end, Rex directly called the name of a person, and this person came to Salin, his eyes were blocked by dark crystals in the helmet, and Salin could not see his expression.
"I don't guarantee your safety. Salin said.
"I understand, Lord Sarin, please cast a spell. The swordsman replied calmly. His reaction to Saleen's men was somewhat disdainful. None of these people are willing to take the initiative to take risks. However, he also knew that Salin's people were stronger in combat than them, and even if they had the Spirit Snake Armor, their team did not have any overwhelming advantage. Let the stronger people take risks. It's not worth it.
Salin didn't say anything, he re-released the shield of the water pattern, enveloping the swordmaster, who found that he could still control forward and backward through his own movements. But he didn't need to take the initiative, the violent bear was behind him, and with a fierce push, he pushed him into the river.
This is the benefit of the Spirit Snake Armor, otherwise the Storm Bear will not be able to exert its power on the Water Ripple Shield, and will be directly slid away. If he wanted to attack, the power of this palm would have to be fully borne by the shield of the water pattern. Provided, of course, that Salin doesn't manipulate the magic.
Rex watched intently as the swordsman drifted towards the opposite bank, the power of the violent bear was extremely well controlled, and this bubble could just float to the opposite bank without Salen manipulating. The river is not turbulent, Rex's heart is still a little nervous, this time for the sake of secrecy, the people she brought out are absolutely loyal. Even those magicians were the first to follow her.
Seeing that the bubbles had reached the opposite bank, the sword master exerted his strength under his feet, jumped up, rushed out of the bubbles, and came to the side of the battle puppet.
On the riverbank, the swordsmen let out cheers. Originally, Rex's subordinates were also very calm, but after more than a month of nervousness, they could finally relax at this time.
The shield recreated by Saleen was the only one with vitality, so he had to send people across the river one by one. It turned out that the three water pattern shields had long been digested by his gourd.
"Stay safe, you two go first. Rex saw that this method was feasible, so he let the two Black Iron Sword Masters act.
The combat power of the Black Iron Sword Master was much stronger than that of the Sword Master, and after the two Sword Masters crossed the river, Rex immediately arranged for a fifth-level mage to cross the river. The combination of the mage and the Juggernaut can resist even if there are any dangerous creatures on the other side.
All fears seemed to be in vain, and Rex crossed the river himself without any attack. Saleen was the last to cross the river, but he flew straight over wrapped in a shield of water patterns. Landing on the bank of the river, a small head suddenly popped up in the river behind him, the creature was only the size of a palm, staring at Rex's team, Saleen jerked back and found the little guy.
If the goddess's god had made Gosica here, she would have vomited blood in anger. This is the temple guardian creature she spent a lot of essence blood catalyzing, and she asked the creature to protect the temple when she left, only to return to the river without developing any guardian power at all.
It can't be helped, it's still too weak to grow, and the creature's intelligence is not fully developed, and it will take three to five hundred years for Gosika's orders to be fully understood by it.
But it also knew that the temple was theirs, and it was best not to let strangers approach it. But its strength was insufficient, and it could only follow Salin and the others behind. Unexpectedly, as soon as it appeared, Saleen discovered it. For no other reason, this creature has the unique life force of the goddess.
