Chapter 63: Destination
DuPont constantly blocked Arthur's attacks, and from time to time he countered with a sword, and each counterattack always dealt damage to Yasen's body. It's strange that Yasin didn't care, as if the injuries weren't on him. The offensive is even more aggressive.
Is this lion brainless? Don't be afraid if you get hurt. Dupont looked at Yasen's hurt and cursed in his heart. The battle just now had consumed too much of his Force. And the dead lion, whose breath has not weakened in the slightest, will be consumed to death if it continues like this. Weigh it up and decide whether to use a trick or not.
At the moment, he forced Yasen back with the force in his hand. The man jumped straight away, and the long sword in his hand stood straight up. The Force continued to condense on the sword, and the long sword was plated with a layer of golden light, and it couldn't help but tremble. This is a sign of the "lotus blossom of death."
Yasen, the lion, almost died under this trick just now. Of course I know it's great. The strange thing is that he did not have the slightest look of fear, but showed a crazy look.
I saw Yasen roar angrily, and the sound of folding like fried beans sounded all over his body. The body swelled in a large circle, and the tall figure became even taller. The expression was hideous, the feet were kicked, the earth shook, and a series of surging and shocking rumbling sounds like war drums sounded, rushing directly towards Dupont, and DuPont's trick had a hard time.
Death Lotus ......
Dupont let out a loud shout, and the golden sword bloomed into a golden lotus again. Directly drowned the lion man Yasen......
Countless sword blades pierced through Yasen's body directly, even though his body was as hard as steel, it was still like paper in front of the blade, and it would break with a single stab.
Countless blood fountains splattered everywhere. Yasin twisted his face in pain, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. The momentum of the advance was blocked, and it could no longer move forward. With a roar, he gathered the last of his strength and punched out.
The powerful force miraculously broke through the blade storm, and a cloud of energy struck directly at DuPont.
Dupont's face changed, he didn't expect Yasen to have such strength before he died. However, after he sent out the "Lotus of Death", the Force was almost depleted. Gather the last bit of Force and condense it into a shield in front of you.
With a bang, Dupont's body retreated several steps in a row. His face was pale, and it was clear that the lion-man Yasen's final blow also shone on him.
Yasen the lion-man was poked all over his body by the blade of the sword, and there was not a single piece of flesh intact. I saw him trembling, barely raised his head, and said intermittently with a cruel smile: "I...... Said...... You...... To pay...... The cost ......"
Then the head is lowered and never moves......
It happened too quickly, and Horn and the others didn't have time to react. One by one, they rushed to Dupont and asked him if he was okay.
DuPont pressed his chest, coughed a few times with a pale face, and said, "It's just a small injury, and it will be healed soon." This orc is really cruel to himself, and he actually used soul sacrifice. ”
Horn couldn't help but ask what was going on with that soul sacrifice, which could actually make an orc who was only level twelve directly upgrade one level to become a level thirteen martial artist.
DuPont began to explain soul sacrifice. Soul Sacrifice is a magic-like spell unique to orcs. As the name suggests, soul sacrifice is the direct sacrifice of one's own soul in exchange for the gods of the orcs. Let the gods use their divine power to directly increase the strength of the sacrificer. After using this spell, the sacrificer will die after a day or two after a short increase in strength.
Horn couldn't help frowning and said, "If there is a war with the orcs, if the orcs use this kind of spell, how can the humans beat them." ”
It is important to know that the outcome of a war often depends on the individual. Originally, the physical strength of the orcs was stronger than that of humans, and with the addition of this spell, it would soon be even more invincible.
Dupont shook his head and said, "You're wrong, this kind of soul sacrifice is not so simple. Not all orcs can use it if they want to. I've heard that the conditions for soul sacrifice to be cast are harsh, and only a few orcs can perform it. And there's a point, in the orc concept. When they die, their souls return to Valhalla, the beast god. Then wait inside to be reborn. And this kind of soul sacrifice is to directly turn the soul into nothing, in exchange for an increase in strength. In other words, after using the soul sacrifice, even if you die, you will not be reborn. Therefore, some orcs would rather die and return to Valhalla, the beast god, than perform soul sacrifices. ”
Horn listened to the explanation and understood what the soul sacrifice was all about. Although they were hostile to the orcs, they couldn't help but admire the bravery of that lion-man Yasen. What courage it would take to cast such a spell.
When Horn and the others were sighing, Dupont suddenly asked Horn: "Horn, when that ninth-level pigman rushed towards you just now, how did you kill him with one blow?"
DuPont's attention was focused on the group of orcs just now, and he didn't pay attention to how Horn killed the pigmen, and as soon as they made contact, the pigmen died. This was a big surprise to him. Although Horn has the strength of an eighth-level martial artist and a second-level magician, his real combat power will not be higher than that pigman. Even that level 10 werewolf was killed by Horn was a big surprise to him. He originally thought that Horn could only protect himself.
DuPont knew that Horn relied on the "variety" in his hand to kill the pigman by surprise. The werewolf only seized the opportunity of the few seconds when he lost his mind to kill the werewolf by chance.
Horn didn't want anyone to know the secret, so he just said vaguely, "It's just luck...... In addition, the sword in my hand is very sharp, so I can kill them, hehe......"
DuPont looked at Horn thoughtfully and said, "Luck or sharpness." You have to remember that luck is not always there, a weapon is no different from a wooden stick when it is sharp, only your own strength is the most important, you know?"
Only then did Horn know that DuPont was not investigating the secrets of the change, but only warned him when he and Qing Yiyi killed people who were stronger than him, and he was afraid that he would be complacent. nodded immediately and replied, "I know, thank you for teaching ......"
Horn and the others were more or less injured, and their advance slowed down.
On the way, Horn couldn't help but ask Dupont, "Teacher, where is our destination, what are we going to do, and why are those orcs killing us?"
This question has been in Horn's mind for a long time. Especially after the battle with the orcs, Horn has understood that the future journey is full of dangers, and he may die at any time. He didn't want to die so much that he didn't even understand why he died.
DuPont looked back at the five Horns, and after thinking about it, he said, "Our destination this time is to go to a place called "Demon Eye" in the Orc Territory. This "Devil's Eye" is one of many passages leading to the bottomless abyss. The "Devil's Eye" can reach the bottomless abyss. ”
"Could it be that our purpose this time is to go to the bottomless abyss?" said Horn's face changed. Others may not know what the bottomless abyss is like. But Horn knew that the big guy who was thousands of miles long alone was not something that humans could resist. No matter how many people go, it won't even be enough to stuff the big guy's teeth. If he really wanted to go to the bottomless abyss, he would never go, even if Dupont put a knife on his neck.
Dupont laughed and sneered, "You're thinking too much, that place is not a place where humans can go." And if you really want to go, I won't let you go. ”
Horn and the others couldn't help but put their minds at ease, as long as they didn't go to the bottomless abyss, it was easy to say. He continued to ask, "If you don't go inside, what are you going to do?"
"Seal that demon's eye. DuPont said.
"Seals, why, do we have the ability?" Horn asked. He knew about the seals, and they were mentioned in the spell books of Habot. It's just magic like sealing the spatial passage, which can only be performed by high-level magicians. If it's the kind of passage to other realms, it will take more magic materials and magicians to complete.
Dupont's eyes flickered, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Why don't you know the trench coat." And this time to seal this demon's eye is not only us, but also others. We're only here to help the magicians seal. ”
Horn finally got a rough idea, but he didn't understand why the others didn't come together. Isn't it more convenient that way. He asked, "Where are the others, wouldn't it be more convenient to walk together?"
DuPont shook his head and said, "If we go together, the goal is too big." It's easy to be targeted, and those orcs are here to stop us from sealing. ”
"Why would the orcs stop us from sealing that Demon Eye? Could it be that the Demon Eye is good for them?" Horn said.
DuPont said vaguely: "It should be a ...... Let's go, the others may have already reached it, and we're going to speed it up. ”
After saying that, he ignored Horn and them, and walked forward quickly.
Horn looked at Dupont's expression and felt that something was wrong, but looking at him like that, he wouldn't answer anything when he asked, just press the doubts in his heart and follow DuPont.
In Horn's heart, he felt vaguely uneasy, and inexplicably felt that this trip would not be as simple as Dupont said.
In the middle of the Orc Empire is a vast expanse of grassland, and in the middle of winter, the verdant meadows turn yellow and withered grass everywhere. In the howling north wind, the sky is full of dead grass and sand and gravel.
The grassland that cannot be seen makes people feel that the sky is short, and there is an illusion that they can reach out and touch it. Although the Saatchi Empire also had steppes. But the grasslands of Saatchi are in the plains and at low altitudes. It is a little different from the grasslands of the plateau, and it is a different scenery than the grasslands of Saatchi.
Horn and the others were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so they were all in a hurry.
Dupont's round face was preoccupied, and Horn and the others didn't have the heart to talk to him. Justin is more active. Justin himself belongs to the people who talk a lot. I can't stand the boredom and drink Horn and talk to them to relieve the loneliness.
Along the way, it was basically Justin talking to himself. Under the bombardment of Justin's words, everyone felt that it was not bad to be lonely at all, better than a fly buzzing in their ears.
After the crowd was about to get tired of Justin's verbal bombardment. A swarthy mountain peaked ahead.
On this side of the flat grassland, a mountain peak, like a giant standing in the crowd, looks so conspicuous and out of place.
