Chapter 86: Artifact Contest (3)
In this treasure hunt, the princess did not hide her strength at all in order to be foolproof. From the moment she encountered the first zombie, she had a sword in her hand.
At the end of the battle, she stood quietly and sensed it for a moment, and then continued to run towards the next gathering place of undead creatures. When she got closer, she found that there were as many as ten undead creatures this time, as well as zombie spirits.
Sure enough, there were more and more! She firmed up her thoughts, and without hesitation, rushed forward.
With a slash of the sword, a golden light like a training shot out, scattering the gathered undead creatures. She kept moving, found a lone zombie, changed the slash to shoot, and directly shot the zombie's head, without using a sword blade, because she knew that it was useless to cut off the bodies of these undead creatures, and only by letting them turn into powder would they die completely.
A backflip dodges another zombie that pounces on it from behind it, and when it falls, it slices it in half from the top down.
Several wraiths gathered around again. The Wraith is actually a mass of gray gas, with a slight human form, and although it is not very powerful, it is extremely difficult to kill.
Of course, the princess did not want to be entangled with them, and returned her sword to the sheath, standing proudly, with a faint golden light shining all over her body. Suddenly, her momentum rose sharply, just like an emperor looking down on the world. Those resentful spirits were actually dissipated alive by her momentum.
Drawing her sword out of its sheath and dissuing the remaining zombies, she hurried on. With her keen sense, she could already vaguely feel the majestic power of the artifact.
Although these battles with these undead creatures are a bit disgusting, but in general, the operation is quite smooth, and the princess is still in a good mood at the moment.
However, as she walked, her pupils suddenly shrank, because not far in front of her, a skeleton suddenly appeared.
She was not a hesitant person, although she saw that it was the undead king Gu Senran, she didn't mean to stop at all, but rushed over as fast as she could.
Gu Senran didn't speak, and as soon as the corpse banner was unfurled, a corpse appeared out of thin air, and he chanted a mantra slightly, and the corpse changed shape, its flesh and blood fell off one after another, and its bones coalesced together to become a bone shield, blocking the princess in front of her.
Necromancy and Bone Shield. Fourth-level magic, control the bones of the corpse to become a shield. While bones aren't much of a hard thing, the necromancer can make their internal structure denser with their own minds, which increases their defense. For other masters like Gu Senran, under his control, the hardness of this bone shield has long exceeded the defensive power of ordinary bone shields.
However, the princess didn't blink her eyes, and with the momentum, she stepped on the bone shield, her body parallel to the ground, and she wanted to jump directly over the bone shield.
As soon as her mind moved, the shield suddenly became larger, but she didn't expect that the princess was waiting for this moment.
She slammed her sword out of her back and slammed it against the bone shield. The bone shield becomes larger, the thickness becomes smaller, and the defense is naturally weakened. The princess's sword actually shattered the shield directly.
Gu Senran felt a little unbearable on his face: he was actually calculated by a junior! Seeing that the princess fell to the ground and ran forward again, he snorted coldly in his heart, and no longer cast magic, and in a flash, he actually used his body to directly block the princess in front of him.
The princess reacted so quickly, and then she had to bypass Gu Senran. Gu Senran followed the princess with a lifeless figure, regardless of his own defense.
The princess really wanted to cut it off with a sword, but she was very sensible, and seeing that there was no hope of forcibly breaking through Gu Senran's obstruction, she kicked the ground with her feet and floated backwards, stopping not far from Gu Senran. In the end, he did not make a sword to Gu Senran.
The two stood still, but the princess spoke first. She saluted first, and then said, "I don't know what happened when the seniors moved the big frame to meet the juniors?"
The princess didn't fight, but was more in tune with Gu Senran. So he laughed a few times and said, "The little girl is not very old, but she has such a cultivation, the old man is happy to see it, and I want to talk to you here." ”
"I see. The princess said, took off her hat, and said with a smile: "The senior wants to talk to me, why don't you wait for the end of this treasure hunt? ”
Seeing the princess take off the hat, Gu Senran felt a little appreciative in his heart. The two spoke, obviously revealing their true appearance as a sign of respect for each other. She can still pay attention to such details in this situation, which shows that her cultivation is extremely high.
But when Gu Senran really saw the princess's face, Rao was already a skeleton, and he was also stunned.
The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like morning stars, Qiong's nose is beautiful, the teeth are vermilion, the skin is better than snow, and the blow can be broken. The long blonde hair is combed into a simple ponytail, and the black tights are not fancy, but in addition to the femininity, it adds a bit of heroism.
Gu Senran came back to his senses, and found that the princess was looking at him with a smile, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, but then said: "Just say a few words to the little girl, it won't delay too much time." ”
The princess laughed, "That's right." However, just a few words will be enough time for your disciple to get the treasure?"
Gu Senran's heart was shocked, but fortunately, he had no expression, and said, "What do you mean by this, girl? Why can't I understand it?"
The princess still smiled and said, "Why do you have to hide from me as a little girl, seniors? When you put forward the condition that we juniors come to get the artifact, Dean Lou guessed that you were going to choose a person to inherit your mantle among the outstanding students of the Royal Academy. ”
Gu Senran said a little reluctantly: "Very interesting guess, is there any problem?"
The princess said: "But the younger generation has some doubts. If you are really looking for a lineage, why do you have to limit it to fourteen years old? It stands to reason that the more people you come, the more likely you are to find someone you like. And necromancy doesn't have such a strict age limit for cultivation, right?"
Gu Senran's eyes lit up with green light, and he didn't speak.
Seeing that he was silent, the princess continued: "So I thought, such an age limit should be that you already have some goal, and you want that target to come to this forest, create an opportunity for him, and get the artifact." And when I think about it this way, I feel that the condition of the seniors is not to find an apprentice, but among the students of the Royal Academy, there is already a successor, right?
But these are all speculations of the younger generation. However, if this speculation is true, in connection with your previous suggestion that there will be resentful spirits and zombies, it is easy to think that these creatures are used to deter others and make your disciples most likely to find the artifact.
So I chose a road with the most undead creatures, because according to the juniors' guess, the road to the artifact landing site must be the last thing you want other students to go, and of course you will arrange the most undead.
Although it is possible that the younger generation may guess wrong, I don't have a clear direction in the first place, so it doesn't make a difference.
But it seems that the little woman really guessed correctly. The deeper I walked this path, the more undead creatures there were. Just now I met ten undead creatures gathered together, and I was still wondering how powerful my next enemy could be, but I didn't expect that the seniors would come to stop me in person, and the seniors looked down on the juniors like this, and the juniors were really flattered!" After the princess finished speaking, her beautiful eyes wandered, and she looked at Gu Senran who was standing still.
