Chapter 240: The Skeleton
Twelve hours had passed since the death of the Black Sky Shadow, and Chu Xin was still staying in Dowinian.
When he did not show malice and reasoned with the elves, the lord realized that the man in front of him was no longer the evil dragon he had been, but the great benefactor who had saved the entire city-state.
Although he was a little incomprehensible and unacceptable for a while, he still took the initiative to invite Chu Xin as a guest and used the beautiful back garden as a couch for Chu Xin to rest.
And Chu Xin was indeed a little tired after chasing and killing the Shadow of the Black Sky with all his might, so he spent the night here to make contacts and increase his horizons.
When the lord and the others learned that Chu Xin had killed a total of three demon monsters, they all looked at each other in shock, and also informed the situation of the Tooth of the Barbarian Mountain.
According to the lord, the Tooth of the Wild Mountain is imprisoned in the Far North Snow Mountains of Rune, and it seems to be a fierce beast with the body of a bear and a tiger, and the world does not know how big it is or what its appearance is.
Because the Fangs of the Mountains not only move extremely fast, but also elusive, few people have seen its appearance clearly since ancient times, and it is an out-and-out hunter of the night.
Following.
"Your Excellency, you will always be a guest of the Dowinians." The lord stood on the tower and waved goodbye to Chu Xin, who was hovering in the air.
"There will be a date later." Chu Xin replied, and then flew towards the north.
"Where is he going?" The lord's wife asked in amazement.
"It's supposed to be a snow-covered mountain." The lord was also a little surprised.
"It is written in the book that the tooth of the mountain was imprisoned there, so it is." Madame suddenly.
"Smaug has changed dramatically, from the inside out," the lord shook his head with emotion, "the world is really full of unpredictable, and the dragon, the mainstay of the dark forces, will one day be the enemy of the darkness. ”
In the city below, a team of horse-drawn carts loaded with good red wine slowly left the city and sent them to the Woodland Kingdom, and at the same time, they also spread the word about what Chu Xin had done in Rune as quickly as possible.
……
Huh~huhu~
The cold wind is cold and endless.
The sweeping blizzard left visibility almost nil, freezing a snow-capped mountain and isolating it from the rest of the world.
The Snowy Mountains, also known as the Brute Mountains, were inhabited by an endless number of ferocious beasts before Morgoth was defeated, and they often formed beast tides to plague the towns below the mountains.
It wasn't until the arrival of the head of Maia, Ionwe, that the mountain was no longer worthy of its name.
And the most dangerous Brute Mountain Fang, with his speed and miraculous concealment methods, actually picked up a life from under the nose of Ionway.
As the herald and banner officer of the god king Manwei, Ionwei commanded all Maia, including Gandalf, and naturally had the strength to kill him, but the situation in Middle-earth at that time was tense, and the two sides were fighting each other, and Ionwei did not have enough time to toss an insignificant monster, so he cast a spell on the Wild Mountain, trapped it in it, and could not escape forever.
"Aren't there any creatures here?"
Chu Xin came out of the thick clouds, resisted the fierce wind and snow, and overlooked the white expanse.
The lush forest is covered in white, and the vast snow-capped tops reach into the sky, as if you have strayed into an empty world on the other side.
This is the most majestic and lonely snow-capped mountain that Chu Xin has ever seen.
Whining!
Only the sound of the howling wind.
Suddenly, Chu Xin felt that he had passed through something, like an invisible and intangible.
"Is it Miya's magic?"
With a sudden brake, he repeatedly jumped sideways to the invisible membrane, making sure that the magic was ineffective against him.
Three days later.
Chu Xin landed on a mountain and looked around calmly.
It's still exactly the same snowy scene, and after seeing too much, every mountain looks like a product of copy and paste.
Nothing was found.
He tried to find the footprints or hairs of the Brute Fang, but found nothing.
However, Chu Xin was not discouraged, just three days was nothing.
A week later.
Chu Xin has gone deep into the snow-covered mountains, but the scenery remains the same, white mountains and white forests.
He could sort of understand Ionway.
Trying to find a creature in this rolling mountain forest is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Chu Xin is not in a hurry, how can he slaughter the tooth of the barbarian mountain, and let the four monsters get neat and tidy below.
Don't ask.
Asking is obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Another week passed quietly.
Chu Xin finally had a harvest.
He landed in a snowy valley at the moment, staring at the ground not far away.
There are a few shallow indentations in the snow surface, which stretches into the narrow canyon inside the valley.
Outside, it's a sign of normalcy.
But in this snow-captive mountain cage where there are no birds and beasts, there is only one truth!
Call!
Chu Xin accelerated violently, sliding at a low altitude in the canyon, a pair of burning eyes like a radar scanning.
After about 3,000 meters, the traces disappeared.
Almost at the same moment, a blast of wind approached from one side of his head.
Swish!
A fierce beast with a body length of six meters swept out of the cave in the mountain wall, jumped on Chu Xin's back flexibly and explosively, stepped on his spine and quickly rushed towards Chu Xin's skull.
Chu Xin immediately hit the stone wall with his body, trying to throw it out with a strong impact.
But the guy on his back was scratched tightly, and all his claws hung between Chu Xin's bones like hooks, and no matter how he swayed, they were firmly attached to it like a dog's skin plaster.
During the activity, Chu Xin, who looked back, saw its appearance clearly.
With a face like a North American gray wolf, a head like a large brown bear, a torso, limbs, and tail similar to that of a tiger, muscular but not bloated, and apparently self-tuning for speed and swiftness.
The whole body has gray-white hair, and when the sun shines, it will shine with the high-quality texture of white gold.
It has a very large mouth, tough and sensitive facial joints, and can open and close at a terrifying 120°.
The teeth inside are also huge and frighteningly sharp, and there are dark red magic patterns attached to them, which enhance the bite force and penetration.
It can basically be judged that this is the last monster: the tooth of the mountain.
Sonorous!
Without saying a word, it slammed into one of Chu Xin's cervical vertebrae, rubbing it into a piercing sound.
Obviously, it is named after its teeth, and a sharp tooth is its most powerful weapon.
But the keel is not a vulgar thing, and the teeth of the mountain are so stunned that their joints creak, and they can't knock out the slightest crack.
"Roar~~~"
It howled from its chest, and the dark red patterns on its teeth lit up, increasing its bite force to more than double its original strength.
Chu Xin was not used to it, and he exploded all over his body, and the dense spikes immediately drew many wounds in the mouth of the Brute Mountain Fang, and blood suddenly mixed with saliva gushing out.
The sharp pain made it loosen its mouth, but it still clung to Chu Xin until it saw Chu Xin's burning eyes.
As a result, the Fang of the Mountain changed the target of the attack.
Bang –
While it was concentrating, Chu Xin simply slammed into the mountain wall neatly, and rubbed hard with his back.
Bang bang bang!
Such a movement undoubtedly caused a huge avalanche.
The heavy snow raised a smoke screen of hundreds of meters, and countless falling rocks tumbled and fell with terrifying sound.
Wow!
Chu Xin rose from the avalanche, and what made him speechless was that the Tooth of the Wild Mountain was still lying on his neck tenaciously and embarrassed.
He had a plan.
The mouth opened, and the bones erupted towards the headwind.
Coupled with his sudden speed, the forward wave of fire was instantly pushed back, sweeping and wrapping the front half of Chu Xin's body.
"Roar!"
No, the Brute Mountain's Tooth immediately let out a cry of pain, and all the hairs were on fire.
The life-threatening fear made it flinch, and its limbs reluctantly let go of Chu Xin, and it fell freely into the snow below.
At the same time, it shows the extreme speed that even the second god has a headache.
Airplanes!
Obviously it was still in mid-air, but the next second it turned into an afterimage strangely, and then there was a slight rustling sound on the ground, and the snow slipped out of a kilometer or two without a trace, and got into the woods.
Chu Xin???
Good guy, what a white-skinned rat flashed by.
It's fast, it's not as good as his own Rey.
The main thing is that it has excellent concealment ability, and it is difficult to capture with the naked eye as soon as the two means are combined.
"He couldn't run far after being burned by the corpse inflammation, and he should still be in this forest." Chu Xin came up with a simple and crude coping strategy.
Set fire to the mountain!
Boom –
The flames poured out, melting the snow and sending larch and birch trees to unprecedented heat.
Chu Xin burned from beginning to end, and there was only an endless sea of fire everywhere he passed, becoming the most dazzling red in the vast white.
Soon, the entire mountain forest fell into a scorching carnival, like a colorful picture of the end of the world.
Streaming down!
Sure enough, the bruised Brute Mountain Tooth galloped out from the end.
Its speed has slowed down enough to be tracked by the naked eye, and it limps miserably, like a lost dog.
It turned back frequently, its eyes full of panic and fear, how could it still be brave and fearless when riding Chu Xin just now.
"Whoo~Whoo~"
Every breath of hot air exhaled is extremely hot, and the internal organs are roasted through the skin of the meat until they are medium-cooked.
There was no need for Chu Xin to mend the knife himself, and the Tooth of the Wild Mountain staggered forward in the snow field step by step, and finally a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell to the ground.
At this point, the four monsters of Rune were all destroyed, and the deaths were more tragic than the other.
The card text appears as promised:
"Upon achieving the [Rune Purifier] achievement, you can choose one of the four monsters as your [Skeleton Servant];
Gain +5% proficiency to reach 40%;
+1 for gacha draws, there are currently 4 in total. ”
"Servant?" Chu salary point open parentheses.
The interface immediately displayed: "The skeleton servant, refining the bones of the enemy he killed into a battle slave, does not have wisdom, no pain and desire, but only knows how to fight the undead puppet, but it is not immortal, once completely dead means that this skeleton disappears." ”
As a senior bookworm, Chu Xin understood it on the spot.
"Choose one of the four, I want to think about it."
"The Brute Mountain Fang that I just killed does have something, but it is small in size and has limited damage."
"The Spirit of the Wilderness ~ is large in size, strong enough, and can burrow into the ground, which is worth considering."
"The soul of the open sea, although the attack method is pretending to be a ghost, it is okay, the main thing is that it is too brittle, and the cost performance is too low."
"As for the Shadow of the Black Sky, the name is quite bluffing, and it turns out to be a group of flying cockroaches...... Disgusting is disgusting, the combat power and sense of oppression are really strong, and they can fly, and their vitality is far beyond the other three. ”
After a few minutes of thinking, Chu Xin decisively chose the Spirit of the Wilderness.
There are two reasons why you don't choose the better Black Sky Shadow: one is that there is some conflict with Chu Xin's own positioning, which is to suppress the enemy from the sky, and the other is that Chu Xin really doesn't like cockroaches, not to mention the scene of flying in the sky.
It's not an important rigid need, so why force yourself and embarrass yourself.
And the Spirit of the Wilderness, whose actual combat ability on the ground and underground, is undoubtedly the nemesis of the sandworm, and can also kill the enemy from the ground by surprise.
Airplanes!
As soon as it was decided, a new card was condensed in the pack.
The area is only half of the normal card, the color pattern is simpler, and it is attached to the corner of the [Dragon Smaug] card.
The above vertical painting is outlined: a giant bone frame that is similar to Chu Xin!
The bones of the wild spirit, which has no flesh and skin, are very deformed and strange, and the pair of slender claws are even more terrifying, because they directly expose the metacarpal bones and arm bones, so it looks particularly terrifying.
In the hollow eye sockets, a pair of flames lit like Chu Xin, providing sight and hearing.
Chu Xin's mind moved, activating it.
Airplanes!
The card turns into a beam of light and takes shape in reality.
The Spirit of the Wilderness honestly knelt at Chu Xin's feet, not feeling the slightest emotion or instinct from it, only obedience.
Chu Xin looked at it for a while, and then took it back to the card pack.
"There's nothing to smoke in the capsule toy machine for the time being, keep it for now, my current strength, there are few opponents in Middle-earth? But the fire demons and the giants of the mountains still have to be careful. ”
He muttered to himself as he flew west, planning to fetch a central object.
That thing makes the world flock to it, and Chu Xin also wants to get it.
But unlike others, he simply wants to fish with that thing~
……
After Chu Xin killed the Fang of the Barbarian Mountain, the extreme climate in Rune was improved.
Those bizarre natural disasters are gradually disappearing, and even the air quality is inexplicably improving.
This is inseparable from the death of the four monsters, or rather, has the most direct connection.
In the Second Age, Sauron came to Rune himself.
In order to make the Dongyi people always greedy for the land in the west, in order to ensure that the Dongyi people do not stop invading the west, he cast a spell to make the remaining magic in the bodies of the four monsters have a negative impact on the environment, causing Rune's living conditions to become worse and worse, forcing the Dongyi people to be prepared for danger in peace.
The Dongyi people do not know this.
In addition, the magic emitted by the four demons will affect the human mind all the time, and no matter how pure and good people are, they will become selfish and cruel over time. The minds of the Dongyi people gradually fell, and their spiritual will was firmly grasped by Sauron in the subtle changes, and finally became a dark slave driven by it.
Sauron relied on this similar demagoguery to control the Dongyi, the southern barbarians Harad, and so on.
And today, Chu Xin eradicated the four monsters, which seems to be easy and everyday, but the historical significance is not small.
Perhaps the Dongyi people will continue to be controlled by Sauron, but the land of Rune has been liberated. (End of chapter)
