Chapter 159: The Cave of Fear and Sorrow
Lightning thorns, light rain hibiscus thorns.
Almost at the moment when Yue Shen cut off the wings behind this demon lord, Yue Shen had already reversed the direction of the two swords in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at the already scarred back of the demon lord.
Blue Rain Light Hibiscus was activated with a skill, and the Light Rain Hibiscus thorn was instantly activated under the injection of majestic spiritual power in Yue Shen's body, and a humming sound similar to joy was vaguely heard coming from the Blue Rain Light Hibiscus in his hand, but Yue Shen didn't take this phenomenon to heart.
Golden, blue, and white, the three-colored light was like an afterimage in the sky, and it instantly shot out from the twin swords in Yue Shen's hand.
The vast light attribute spiritual power surged out, I don't know if it was because he was worried about damaging the Holy Spirit Sword or for what reason, Yue Shen did not use the other two elemental attributes through his spiritual aperture to enter the battle this time.
The Blue Rain Light Hibiscus in his hand pointed forward with a touch of rippling water, and a misty golden and blue two-color light instantly emitted, and the gold and blue brilliance were clearly distinguished, flying away from all directions of the demon leader.
Puff puff, puff, a series of flesh and blood splashes kept in his ears, and he saw that the demon leader's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief, and before he could figure out what was going on in front of him, he completely lost his breath.
The two swords in his hands were closed, Yue Shen turned around and swung it with a golden-blue cross, and the dream demon horse, which was the tallest in the body, suddenly shattered.
After Yue Shen eliminated this most powerful sixth-order demon leader, the rest of the great demons who only had fourth-order cultivation could not pose a threat to everyone at all, not to mention that Yue Shen and Long Haochen's teams were all fifth-order, and it was extremely simple to deal with this great demon cavalry force with a number of about fifty.
......
After killing all the demon cavalry, the plant summoner on Long Haochen's side, Bai Xiaoxing, began to recite the incantation.
Almost at the same time as Lin Xin and the others collected the spoils, the foot of the originally barren mountain began to turn into tender green grass, and no one could have imagined that this would be a place that had just ended a big war.
"Alright, let's move on." Yue Shen greeted everyone and said, and then continued to lead the team to set off.
After changing into the costume of the Moon Demon Clan, the group continued in the direction of the Cave of Fear and Sorrow.
"What kind of trick were you guys playing in the back just now?" Yue Shen turned his head, looked at Chen Ying'er who was standing beside him with a puzzled face, and asked.
"Nothing." Chen Ying'er replied with a slightly evasive look in her eyes.
Yue Shen: "......"
Although Yue Shen was extremely curious about what was happening behind them just now, now was not the time to care about this kind of thing.
"Haochen." Yue Shen beckoned and called Long Haochen to his side.
"Brother Yue, what's wrong?" Long Haochen stepped forward quickly and asked.
"I've learned from my communication with the Demon Leader that they're on the same mission as we are here." As soon as he got down to business, Yue Shen also became serious.
"Huh?" Long Haochen was also extremely surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Does the demon clan attach so much importance to this place?" He even deliberately sent out a large demon cavalry force with such a large number of people. ”
"yes, they do value this place." Yue Shen said as if he was pointing, and then continued: "However, since we completely wiped out that Great Demon Cavalry just now, we didn't give them any chance to release the news. I don't think there will be any new demons going here for reinforcements in the next few days. ”
"Hmm." Long Haochen nodded in agreement, and added: "And according to the strength of this demon reinforcement army and the request for help from the demons on the other side of the cave, the demons on the other side of the cave should not be a threat to us, and the only real danger should be the cave itself, right?" ”
"That's right." Yue Shen nodded and replied, "So it's best for us to make a quick decision and evacuate here as soon as we finish the task." ”
Since Yue Shen knew very well what they were about to encounter in that cave of fear and sorrow, they had to move a little faster, because the next wave of reinforcements from the Demon Clan would actually arrive much faster than they had imagined.
At this moment, suddenly, a piercing roar sounded without warning.
"Whew-"
The shrill whistling echoed through the mountains, and the sound of ghosts crying wolves and howling echoed in a series of echoes, making everyone feel like the hairs were just rising all over their bodies.
Isn't this the screaming of ordinary undead?
Yue Shen's expression was as usual, this level of roaring sound had no effect on him at all. Of course, the premise is that the distance can't be too close, otherwise Yue Shen will still be hurt.
There was more than this roar in the distance, one after another echoed between the mountains, as if the mountains were trembling in this roar.
"It feels like this place is a little wicked." Lin Xin frowned, covered his ears and said.
"Be confident, get rid of it." Gandalf patted him on the shoulder and said.
Because the two of them had known each other as early as the previous Demon Hunter Tryout, the relationship between the two was quite good.
I heard this heart-warming voice a lot, and everyone couldn't help but have a strong sense of fear and uneasiness in their hearts. Especially the girls in the two teams, their faces turned a little pale.
The heart-wrenching roar lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before it finally subsided.
Although this roar did not have a direct lethal effect on everyone present, no one could say that they would not be affected by this roar if they continued to move forward.
"Looks like we're going to have to plan out how we're going to get it done." After the roar from a distance finally ended, Long Haochen said with a solemn expression.
"Let's move on." Yue Shen glanced back at the team members behind him, and after confirming that their state was not significantly affected, "If there is still a loud roar like the one just now, I will let Thor appear to release spatial magic, which should be able to isolate the sound to a certain extent." It's just that a large area of spell casting for a long time consumes a lot of Thor, so at first, you can only protect the members with the lowest tolerance, and others can only endure it first or try to use their own abilities to isolate sounds. ”
"Brother Yue, Han Yu and I are both guardian knights, and we can help the team resist the damage caused by this roar by seamlessly using the Holy Light Shield." Long Haochen suddenly proposed: "It's too wasteful to use Thor's spiritual power for this kind of thing, Han Yu and I can protect everyone." ”
"That's three now." Yue Shen said with a smile, facing the puzzled gazes of Long Haochen and Han Yu, Yue Shen explained, "I have also mastered the Guardian Knight Skill of the Holy Light Shield. ”
"And me, and me!" Chen Ying'er, who was listening to the speeches of several people on the side, raised her hand and said, "Boss, I also have a way to help the team block this roar like a ghost crying wolf." ”
Before Yue Shen could ask, Chen Ying'er took the lead in explaining.
"I have two spatial attribute magic crystals here, which can make McDull transform into a sixth-level spatial attribute magic beast, and I think it can also play a role for a while. However, I estimate that one magic crystal can only support McDull for five minutes, because McDull has been growing rapidly recently, and the energy in the magic crystal is being consumed faster and faster. And I only have two pieces of this spatial attribute magic crystal in my hand. ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
"Me too." Xue Meng, who hadn't spoken in the team for a long time, spoke at this time, "Our priest's Holy Light Array can also play a role in isolating the sound of the outside world, but the consumption will be slightly larger, after all, it has a divine purification aura.
And this roaring sound is not just a simple sound wave, it actually contains something that will cause damage to our mental power. Xue Meng reminded.
"Let's keep walking." After listening to everyone's words, Yue Shen nodded and motioned for the team to continue moving towards the target location of the mission again, "Let's find the cave first and then talk about the rest." If the roar did come from inside the cavern, then our plans would have to be considered in the long run.
But fortunately, a loud sound like that one just now still has little impact on our overall situation, and it will not affect everyone's spiritual state. ”
In the past half an hour or so, the group of them also successfully reached the top of the mountain peak and found the cave of fear and sorrow not far from them on the map.
However, as soon as they discovered the entrance to the cave, the scream was so sharp that it made people shudder again.
Since the distance was much closer this time than when they were at the foot of the mountain, the sudden roar was much faster than before, both in terms of the speed of transmission and the degree of impact on everyone.
At the moment of the roar, everyone felt a dizzying sensation coming from their brains, and even a feeling of darkness in front of their eyes.
However, just when they were urging the spiritual power in their bodies with all their might, trying to protect their ears, they wanted to isolate this terrifying sound wave as much as possible.
A huge golden shroud of light quietly appeared, enveloping everyone's figures in it, blocking out the roaring sound coming from the bottomless cavern.
Holy Light Shield?
Putting down the hand covering his ears, Long Haochen glanced at Yue Shen, who was standing at the forefront of the team, with some surprise.
What surprised him was not that Yue Shen had really mastered the skill of the guardian knight, the Holy Light Shield, as he had just said. After all, even he was able to do the dual cultivation of punishment and protection, and he was not surprised at all that Yue Shen had mastered a few mid-to-high-level guardian knight skills.
What really surprised Long Haochen was that when Yue Shen released this Holy Light Shield, a guardian knight skill, he could obviously feel that Yue Shen's proficiency in this skill was still higher than him.
Instantaneous is the best proof, after all, Long Haochen was already chanting the spell to release the Holy Light Shield in his mouth at the moment when this roaring sound first appeared. But before he could recite a few syllables on his side, Yue Shen on the other side had already completed the release of his skills.
If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the first time I've seen my brother-in-law use the mid-to-high-level skills of the Guardian Knight, right? Long Haochen thought secretly in his heart.
At the same time, the only priest in the two teams, Xue Meng, also began to chant a spell. When Xue Meng's melodious chanting sounded in the Holy Light Shield, the entire team members in the Spiritual Light Mask also felt a lot more relaxed.
Then, Xue Meng raised the golden staff in his hand, and a layer of golden light quietly rippled out of it, enveloping all the people in the holy light shield in the blink of an eye, greatly reducing the irritability in everyone's hearts after hearing the piercing roar.
This is the priest's meditation mantra.
Fortunately, the priest in my team is not a strange person like Sima Xian, and when Xue Meng released the meditation spell, Yue Shen secretly sighed on the side.
Although they are now getting closer and closer to the place where the screaming sound appears, the screaming sound, which was originally just a feeling of depression, has the ability to cause substantial damage to the human body. But fortunately, it was not enough to break Yue Shen's extremely exaggerated holy light shield.
Feeling the astonishing loss speed of the spiritual power in Yue Shen's body, Long Haochen was also busy taking Han Yu with him, and the two came to Yue Shen's side, and made a request to change shifts with Yue Shen to release the Holy Light Shield in order to preserve their combat effectiveness.
"Well, I'll leave it to the two of you first." Yue Shen did not refuse the request of the two, but nodded directly and agreed.
After Long Haochen was ready to release the Holy Light Mask skill, Yue Shen cut off his spiritual power connection to the Holy Light Mask outside, and then sat down cross-legged directly, and in the blink of an eye, he entered a meditative state to recover the spiritual power lost in his body.
Although Yue Shen had broken through his cultivation to the sixth order and possessed the first spiritual aperture in his body, the natural recovery speed of the spiritual power in his body had been greatly improved, but as the strongest combat power in the team now, it was his responsibility to preserve the state of spiritual power in his body.
Under the influence of Yue Shen's Child of Light physique, all the light elements existing in the outside world flew into Yue Shen's body at an extremely fast speed, and then transformed into his inner spiritual power for him to use.
As for why Yue Shen didn't activate the Nebula Spirit Furnace in his chest, let it release the two elemental attributes of starry sky and space for his spiritual aura to absorb, and increase the speed of internal spiritual power recovery to three times the current level.
It was because Yue Shen was out of some kind of indescribable and unclear considerations.
Although his body's ability to grasp these two elemental attributes did make him stronger at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, it also brought great worry to Yue Shen, especially when even Thor couldn't explain the changes in his body.
Without figuring out what impact continuing to use these two elemental attributes to fight would have on his body, Yue Shen thought it was better not to use them as much as possible.
