Chapter 80: The Devil's Essence
Just as the Night's Watch has not given up on their mission for thousands of years, so have the robbers of the Brownearth Hills never given up on their quest to find the treasure of the King of Thieves. However, many things do not mean that hard work leads to success, and the weakness of the robbers' nature dooms them to this difficult task.
In the oral history of the robbers, the kings of the robbers have tried various methods, but in the end, none of them have succeeded. As the longest-reigning king of robbers, Blackbeard has entered the ruins of an ancient city-state more than once and is arguably the closest to the treasure. But even so, he didn't get the money.
Blackbeard didn't mince words about his defeat last time, when he also gathered the elite men of all the forces in the browned hills, even larger than this time, but in the end there were less than three hundred people who made it back alive. It was after that defeat that Roger took the opportunity to break out of his control and broke out of the name of "Ghost Wolf" outside.
Where is the real danger?El's mind has always been very concerned about this problem, until now, even the swarm attack of the sickle-claw demon cannot be regarded as a real mortal danger, and looking at Blackbeard's expression, it is obvious that he has not entered a serious state.
Massive horned demons swooped in from the shadows, and the narrow street topography of the ruins limited the monster's natural ability to bounce at what it was best at, but their own strength was not to be underestimated. An Istalon warrior who rushed forward with a tower shield in front of him intuitively sensed danger, and he roared, his body slammed the tower shield in front of him to the ground, kicking the bracket under the shield with a hook of his foot, and at the same time pressed his body against the back of the shield, clenching his teeth.
The two companions standing beside him also stopped at the same time, supporting their two tower shields on the left and right sides according to the fish scale formation, which is the most basic defensive charge formation in military discipline, even the galloping horse in the sprint is difficult to surpass. 【Starter】
However, the strength of the Horned Demon far exceeds that of ordinary human cavalry, and it is also more cruel and ferocious. Only a dull loud bang was heard, and the arm bones of the three warriors supporting the tower shield shattered at the same time, and they fell backwards with blood spitting out their mouths. The Horned Demon grinned and snatched the tower shield from the warrior's hand, holding it high and throwing it towards the center of the human warrior's ranks.
Huge tower shields roared through the air and smashed into the crowd, and the Horned Demon's strange power was powerful enough to line up ordinary human soldiers. However, even in the face of such a deadly threat, the formation of the warriors did not waver in the slightest, because they knew in their hearts that there were still strong men in their ranks.
The spinning tower shield suddenly changed the trajectory of its flight before it rushed to the side, and a swift figure rushed out of the array of Isttalon warriors and came to the horned demon with lightning speed. The horned demon still maintained the throwing posture and did not react, but he felt a sharp pain in his leg, and involuntarily fell to his knees.
El rushed under the Horned Demon with blood-red eyes, kicked the Horned Demon's kneecap, and punched it in the abdomen as it knelt down. The Horned Demon raised his head and let out a terrible wail, and his huge body was bent by El's punch.
This kind of devil can already be regarded as the basic unit of the battle sequence of the hellish demon army, and the vitality is unimaginably tenacious, and this kind of thing summoned by the demon warlock Delaire at the beginning gave El a headache, and the archery he is good at can only cause penetrating damage, and it can't have a fatal effect on this thing that can still move after losing its head. And the axe in his hand is just an ordinary army standard weapon, and it is quite difficult to cut down the rough-skinned demons.
Fortunately, in addition to weapons, El is also good at hand-to-hand combat. After the double enhancement of growth and sacrifice runes, his strength has reached the level of a monster, and he can directly use his fists to face the horned demon.
El didn't let his guard down, he jumped up and grabbed the famous thick horn on the horned demon's head, bent his legs, and smashed it into the horned demon's eyes. Hearing a thud, the cheekbones on the horned demon's face were shattered by the top of El's knees, and the two blood-red eyeballs burst open.
"The weakness of the Horned Demon is in the heart! And they have more than one heart in their body!" Rolana reminded loudly, flipping her wrist and adding two small crystals to the tips of her fingers, shooting out two thin rays of light that locked onto the two asymmetrical parts of the Horned Demon's chest.
"Earlier, why should I bother with this?" El turned over and jumped into the air deftly, took out the dragon's tooth bow with his hand, and opened his bow in mid-air, and the two long arrows shot out at the same time, directly through the part marked by Lolana.
The huge Horned Demon had already been hit by six or seven arrows before, and it didn't care as if it had been bitten by a mosquito, but when El fired these two arrows, its body suddenly froze, stiffened for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"The heart is the real point of the demons, no one knows where they will hide except themselves, only when their lives are in danger, their hearts will increase in speed and stimulate their potential, and I can accurately determine the location based on the sound of beating. Lolana shook the crystal in her hand and pouted.
"It's easy to know there's something wrong with this thing, you say the sound of your heart beating, right?" El tilted his head and pricked up his ears to listen. Although the laws of chaos hindered his ability to perceive, his own trained hearing was just as sharp, and if Lorana could hear it, there was no reason why he couldn't hear it, but he hadn't thought about it before.
The roar of monsters and the clash of minions and swords were all around, but these were not obstacles for El. He closed his eyes and listened carefully for a moment, and suddenly copied out two long arrows **** out, hitting the other horned demon who was entangled by Palanti, and with an unwilling roar, the horned demon fell down holding his chest.
"It turns out that there is such a trick, which is much more convenient. El had finally found a knack for hunting demons, and it felt like the trip was worth it.
"Don't be too complacent, the individual demons as chaotic creatures are very different, and even the same species will develop completely different species. The heart is just a reference point, and maybe the next demon's point will become a heel. Seeing El's relieved look, Lolana couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him.
"That's why I'm going to take your encyclopedia with me. El sighed.
The boy and the girl exchanged a look in tacit understanding, and a smile of embarrassment appeared on their faces.
"It's coming, it's almost there...... I've been waiting for you for a long, long time......"
"Uh...... What did you say?" El asked with a shudder, confused.
"What do you say?" said Lorana, but the expression on her face was dazed.
"Nothing...... El shook his head, his brow furrowed slightly, he seemed to hear something whispering in his ear just now. Can it be said that one is an auditory hallucination, and two times can it be said to be accidental?
