Chapter 226: Demon Source Qi
Every step should take at least a few minutes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Albert's speed became slower and slower, and his body became more and more rickety, and he began to crawl at some point. Traces of blood spilled from the dragon scales, he was short of breath but couldn't get much oxygen, and he could feel his lungs occupied by demonic energy.
At this time, there were still a hundred meters away from the corpse of the immortal demon general, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, it seems that you have to fight." Albert muttered, a twinkle in his eyes. Although he has reached his physical limits, he knows that sometimes he has to be a little reckless, and following the rules may allow him to avoid many risks, but at the same time, he will miss many hard-won opportunities.
"Wow!" Suddenly, Albert spat out a large mouthful of blood, and even the eyes, ears, and nose were spilling blood.
His physical condition was getting worse and worse, but Albert ignored it and endured the sharp pain coming from his body. For him, as long as his body does not collapse instantly, it is a good thing, and he believes that he will be able to awaken again.
Albert gritted his teeth, he held his breath, he had never been more serious. He moved his body and crawled forward like a snail as fast as he could, not even having time to wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth. All he had to do now, and the only thing he could do, was to forget the pain and reach the corpse of the Immortal Demon General before his body could bear it anymore.
3 minutes 1 meter, 4 minutes 1 meter, 5 minutes 1 meter...... With each move, the pressure increased several times, and Albert's physical condition deteriorated.
The tremendous pressure from the outside world and the overload of his body caused the skin of his limbs to crack and his tendons to break inch by inch. Blood is like sweat. Flows down the pores. If there is no hard dragon scale support. I'm afraid Albert's muscles have collapsed.
Albert's black robe had long been soaked with blood, clinging to his body, forming a layer of blood scabs, and from a distance, he looked like a bloody man.
"Do you want to go over and help? With his current strength, it is enough to be able to do this level. Lycia looked at Albert's tattered back and said with some concern.
"It's going to be fine, you have to trust him. Don't forget, he's a real dragon. And, if he can't survive even this little setback, how can he lead our race to prosperity, as his benefactor said. Torus shook his head, expressionless.
"But ......"
"No, I am the head of the three great chiefs, and I have more say than you. Torus interrupted Lycia, and then said softly, "Don't worry, Lycia. A few days ago, when the messenger of the benefactor came. Gave me a precious bottle of potion so that even if something happened to Albert, we could save his life. ”
Above the main hall, Albert could not hear the two chiefs talking.
Of course, even if he heard him, he didn't have time to think, he kept going, even though he was covered in bruises, although every time he moved his body, blood would gush out. He was more determined than ever, maybe he heard the words of the two chiefs, maybe he cared about the dignity of the dragons, even if he was a poor abandoned creature.
His eyes were red, and there was madness in them.
He is now like a madman, a madman who will not give up until he has achieved his goal.
Time was ticking, an hour was as long as a year and as short as a second for Albert.
At just five meters from the Dreaddemon General's body, Albert's body reached its limit and could no longer hold it up. He could hear the crunch of bones shattering, and he could hear the sound of muscles crumbling, mixed with the sound of dragon scales detaching.
His body was on the verge of collapse, but what was worse was the inside of his body.
The pressure from the outside world almost shattered Albert's internal organs, blood splattered, and his heart beat more slowly. Liver and lung fissures are all over the place.
Albert couldn't hold it anymore, he groaned in pain, and collapsed in a pool of blood. He raised his head and looked at the corpse of the Dreaddemon General who was only three meters away from him, and his heart was full of unwillingness. Even though he was still conscious at the moment, he had lost a lot of blood, resulting in paralysis of various functions of his body.
And that's when something strange happened.
The demonic energy that the Dreaddemon raised from the corpse seemed to be guided, and poured into Albert's body like a tidal wave along Albert's open wound. After the demon source qi entered the body, it did not stop at all, and all of it converged into the black lines on the ring finger of the left hand.
As time passed, a black vortex gradually formed around his body, and in the center of the vortex, there was a little brilliant red light.
It was the reverse scale on Albert's chest, and it was this reverse scale that contained the dragon's inheritance that drew the demonic source qi into the body.
Albert breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he could absorb the demon source qi at this distance, and he should have successfully passed the test.
"Drink it quickly. Albert, who relaxed, his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Just as he was about to fall unconscious, a soft voice called him back to reality.
Albert turned his head with difficulty, and saw Licia with a concerned face, without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth directly, and then felt a warm current enter his mouth.
After the warmth flowed into his body, it turned into a streamer, swimming around in his body, and in an instant, it traveled all over his body, and everywhere he went, no matter how big or small, wounds healed in an instant, and the whole body, after only a few seconds, had recovered as before.
But his face was still pale and weak, and although Albert's injuries were all recovered, he still couldn't move after losing too much blood.
The streamer eventually burrowed into the heart, and then exploded, turning into countless dazzling points of light that attached to the atrium. Then, the heart begins to beat violently, and with each beat, a large amount of fresh blood is produced, which is transported through the blood vessels to the limbs, so that the body is rejuvenated and various functions are restored.
"Chief Shelicia......" Albert's words were not finished, his eyes went dark, and he passed out, although his injuries were recovered and most of his blood was replenished, but the fatigue in his heart could not be eliminated by the recovery of his body.
※※※
After some time, Albert awoke from his coma and rubbed his eyes. Take a look at your surroundings. It was found that he had left the underground palace. You are in the middle of a tree house made of vines.
Albert sank. After checking the condition of his body, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his body had improved significantly, but it was still far from the intermediate level of the king rank.
Not only that, but this time, his magic power has also improved a lot. Albert pressed the Power Bracelet, which showed a value of 1135, increasing his mana by more than 100 points. But. This time the ascension was not due to awakening, but to the warm current that Lycia had poured into him. I don't know what that warm current is, but it has such a magical ability, which can not only repair the body, but also increase the magic and physical strength.
After a little calm, Albert suddenly remembered the demonic source qi that he had inhaled into his body, and began to mobilize his magic power, condensing dragon flames in his body, trying to convert the demonic source qi in his left ring finger into magical power. He had been in a similar situation once, when he had transformed the power of blood poison before. It's just that the transformation process was dominated by the power of awakening, and he was just a witness.
Under the tempering of Dragon Flame. Finally, a trace of demonic energy turned into a wisp of pure magic and merged into Albert's magical source.
Albert opened his eyes, his heart was excited, although it took nearly an hour to transform this trace of demonic source qi, but it added 1 point of magic power to him, I don't know how many times faster than meditation.
Moreover, he only refined the demon source qi this time, which was less than one ten-thousandth of the total amount, that is to say, if he could refine it all, he could even reach the holy rank. No, that's not right, now his magic level has just reached the primary stage of the king rank, if he is promoted to the intermediate and advanced level of the king rank, or the super level and the holy level, I am afraid that even if he transforms a hundred times, he may not be able to improve his magic power a little.
However, even if this is the case, if all the demonic source qi is refined, it will be enough for his magic power level to be raised to the advanced level of the king rank.
Albert was so excited that he quickly got up, wanting to thank Licia for saving her life, as well as the other two Great Chiefs. The trip was fruitful, partly due to his own efforts, but in the final analysis, it was thanks to the three great chiefs. If it weren't for the three Great Chiefs, he wouldn't have made it to the Shadow Capital at all, let alone the series of gains that followed.
In addition, he had to say goodbye to the three big chiefs, and after being away for so long, he didn't know what happened to Natalie. He wasn't worried that the other party was threatening, but he was afraid that he wouldn't find them.
However, as soon as he took a few steps, Albert felt a chill on his body, and when he looked down, he was startled and hurriedly got back into the bed.
Albert's face was flushed, and his heart was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into. I don't know who took off all his clothes, including his underwear!
"Are you awake at last, are you hungry?" said Lycia as she walked into the treehouse at an inopportune time, looking at Albert, who was covered in the quilt, and smiled.
"Hungry, no... No... Not hungry. Albert, who was hiding under the covers, opened a slit, glanced at Lycia, and stammered. With an embarrassed face, could it be that the person who took off his clothes was Lycia?
"Inexplicable little ghost, after sleeping for three whole days, will you not be hungry?" asked Lycia, looking at the abnormal Albert, puzzled.
"I'm really not hungry, may I ask the Great Chief, where is this?" Albert asked, calming down a little.
"Of course it's my house, are you sure you're not hungry?" said Lycia, smiling, suddenly guessing the reason for Albert's helplessness. It's a little funny in my heart, for her, Albert is a child, what is there to be ashamed of.
"I'm sure. Albert bit his lip and said with some grievances.
He has been guarding himself like a jade for seventeen years, and he was actually looked down on by a woman who is tens of thousands of years old, which is really a mistake and a thousand years of hatred.
"Don't worry, I didn't change your clothes. Lycia smiled, as if she had guessed what Albert was thinking, "I'll ask the maid to bring the laundry, and you can rest for a while." With that, she turned and left the treehouse.
"Whew. Albert was relieved, but then he thought of the word maid, and suddenly he was struck by lightning, and collapsed listlessly on the bed.
Joe, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my virginity in the end......
"Mr. Albert, the clothes are ready, may I come in?"
Suddenly, a timid soft voice reached Albert's ears and recalled his thoughts.
Albert turned his head to look and found that at the door of the room, a young-looking female Fallen Flower Demon had arrived, holding his washed black magic robe. However, there is something special about this fallen flower demon, her skin is not purple, but as white as an elf, and her wings are not butterfly-like, but transparent cicada wings.
"Of course, I'm sorry for you. Albert said seemingly calmly, but his heart was turbulent. Could it be that his clothes were changed by this maid? The other party looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he knew that flower demons were like elves, and their ages were not written on their faces.
The girl nodded, cautiously walked to Albert's bed, put down the martial arts uniform, and stood aside obediently.
"Miss, please go outside and wait for me, I'm going to get dressed now. Albert raised the clothes in his hand and said helplessly.
"Her Royal Highness the Great Chief Licia has an order, she has asked me to stay with you at all times, and if you disobey the order, you will be punished, please do not embarrass me. The girl lowered her head and said with some embarrassment.
"Oh well. Albert was stunned, then shrugged weakly, and could only complete the heavy task of dressing in the bed.
After getting dressed, Albert followed the girl to the restaurant, and on the way, he asked the girl for her name, and asked some interesting facts about the Fallen Flower Demon Clan, as well as the situation in the Shadow Emirate. Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the restaurant, and after eating, the girl Belle took Albert to the Great Chieftain's Council Chamber, where the three Great Chiefs were waiting for him.
Looking at the quiet and peaceful streets, which were not bustling, Albert was thoughtful. The Shadow Emirate mentioned by the flower demon girl Belil is completely different from what is recorded in the books.
In human or elven books, the Shadow Emirate is described as a country full of violence and blood, and the Shadow Capital is also known as the City of Chaos, and everyone believes that living in the same environment of the alien race will inevitably cause chaos and even destruction.
But in fact, the Shadow Emirate is a peaceful and free country. There are no wars, no oppression, not even the aristocratic classes of other countries. Even the three great chiefs lived in treehouses, straw huts, and stone houses, just like the commoners.
Of course, some scholars have explained this phenomenon. In the opinion of scholars, the reason why the Shadow Emirate has continued is because their race has the same historical background, and they also have a common enemy, the elven race at the top of the continent, forcing them to unite. Many scholars have come to the conclusion that if the elves stop suppressing the trolls, flower demons, and tree demons, the Shadow Emirate will be torn apart and self-defeating.
