Section 48 Support

Elemental Life/Fire Slime

A small monster formed by the deposition of the fire element that escapes from nature.

Has a very basic level of intelligence, but seems to have a wide range of uses. For hilichurls.

In the windswept mountain plains, a little blue stubbornly approached in the face of strong winds.

With the brilliance of the water element, Xu Yun vaguely saw several humanoid silhouettes.

"There's a group of people approaching this way." He retracted his upper body, which had poked out of the basement exit, and only leaned out for a short moment before a wound was cut on his left cheek by a blade of grass blown up by the wind, and as soon as the blood flowed out of the wound, it was dried by the wind and crusted into a bloody scab.

Hiss ~ whew, hiss ~ whew

The wind in the basement is much lighter, and although the air is still oppressive, it is not as difficult to breathe as outside.

"The Wind of Phaselessness is not aimed at us, it is just passing by." Xu Yun gasped and explained.

"Even if we are small characters, even if we are discovered, we will simply ignore it." Sitting against the wall, Connor laughed self-deprecatingly, his pale face softened a lot after drinking the healing potion.

"Who are you talking about? In such a hellish time. William asked.

"Are you sure you see clearly?" Luke asked scrimbly.

"See clearly, it may be that the instructors are looking for the team that has not returned, if the other teams return, our team is the only one who has not returned, and they should not let us go." Xu Yun analyzed.

"The wind is so strong that the torches can't burn at all, how do you see clearly?" Ruth

Xu Yun pouted: "Elemental brilliance." He just spat out the word and didn't explain it further.

"It's the teachers who are here." Everyone looked at each other in surprise, as if they had found their support again, and even the few who were panicked before settled down at this time.

"It's not easy to come here in this environment. I don't know if the Wind of Phaselessness will attack the instructor and them. Jacos said as he lay on the ground with his backpack on his pillow.

"It's okay, the Wind of Phaselessness went in the direction of the Fruit Wine Lake, and didn't pay attention to the team approaching on the ground. Let's wait for the instructors to arrive. ”

"Do you want to light a torch or something, and send a signal to the instructors?" Fara proposed.

"Are you sure the torch can be lit?" Lulu Mara said in a cold voice

"Timmy, your elemental ability, the ability to emit light, can you do it?" Fara turned to Xu Yun.

"Yes. Then I'll try, and hopefully they won't notice this side. The corners of Xu Yun's mouth hooked.

"Don't!" Ruth and Luke said at the same time.

"If this ability of yours is going to attract monsters, I recommend not using it. The instructors are here to find us, and if we attract monsters, we can't resist it now, and the result will only be worse than now. Nanqi rarely spoke.

Xu Yun walked down the steps, came to the corner where Xiuma and Kerry were sitting, and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a deep feeling of exhaustion welled up from his body, although wearing the rose, his own health increased greatly, and the original serious injury was no longer important at this time, but the energy and will consumed could not be replenished.

"That's what I thought, so wait now." He let out a long breath, he couldn't say how much he cared for his teammates in this team, but he was already tired.

Everyone has their own thoughts, actions. It's not like the team of characters in the game who controls themselves and can execute every action command given by the player almost perfectly.

If you are injured, you will want to run away, and even if you can still fight, you will not be able to fully contribute your combat power.

The most important thing is that they are too weak. Not just my current teammates, but myself.

The monster that easily dealt with the first leyline flower before has successfully summoned the life star and increased many personal combat power, but it still looks so powerless in the face of the weakened version of the wind core transformed into by the filthy ooze monster.

If you choose to use another skill after the Core of the Wind is in the air again, you may not be able to defeat it at all.

Xu Yun knew that there were several other powerful skills of the Wind Core, and none of them could be dealt with by himself now. It doesn't even need to unleash a powerful elemental skill, it only uses wind pressure bombs to continuously attack its own group on the ground.

I'm afraid there are only a few people who can survive now.

It might be able to use the remaining rock elemental crystal to try to petrify and control it, but will it honestly let the elemental crystal it throw hit?

The Core of the Tempest isn't a slime monster with only basic intelligence.

This battle can be won, and there is a lot of luck in it.

This feeling of entrusting one's life to the hands of fate... It's annoying.

The howling of the wind in his ears was always endless, and the chaotic air flow poured into the basement, taking away the little heat left on his body, and Xu Yun felt a little cold on this summer night when it should have been difficult to sleep because of the high temperature.

The spirit is too tired, the upper eyelids are fighting with the lower eyelids, but he doesn't dare to close his eyes and fall asleep, the unknown dangerous moment may come, he needs to hold on again, hold on until possible support comes.

After about an hour, the sound of metal boots stomping on the ground sounded overhead.

"There's a basement built in the watchtower, let's go to the basement and hide in the basement first, and then look for them tomorrow when the wind stops." The calm sound overshadowed the noise of the wind tearing through the air and entered the basement.

"Blessing of the wind god, I hope those children will hold out until we find them." A female voice responded.

"Don't be too pessimistic, Jessica, maybe they're hiding in a cave somewhere? On a windy night like this, even if we wanted to look for it, we couldn't. ”

"Just maintaining the elemental shield has already consumed too much for the captain, and if you open the elemental vision to find someone, he will be overdrawn." Another female voice rang out.

"You know I didn't mean that, Ella."

"Alright, let's get inside." The first male voice rang out.

Three figures blocked out the starlight from the basement entrance, and Yuguan broke into the small space.

Maybe because of the darkness in the basement, they didn't see the people hiding in the basement for the first time, but the intuition of the battle still made them find someone here for the first time.

Qiang~

The long sword was unsheathed, and the white blade glowed cold silver white in the starlight.

"Someone." Drawing his sword, the first man to break into the basement said quickly.

"Don't do it." Jacos was the first to speak: "We are apprentices in the 337 Preparatory Knight Training Course under Instructor Tiat. He explained quickly.

The other party breathed a sigh of relief, and the long sword he lifted lowered slightly.

A warm glow lit up from the hand of a man behind him, a purple orb set in the tip of a short staff made of elemental crystals.

The light returned to the basement and illuminated the apprentices who were sitting, lying or standing.

Connor, Xu Yun, and Kerry held their swords in their hands and maintained a defensive posture, while the others tried to sit in the middle as much as possible, using luggage and the original wooden boxes and food bags in the basement to form obstacles.

A sturdy young shield guard covered in armor stood on the last step, his sword hanging slightly, and the emblem of the Lion of the South Wind was on the shield made of stainless steel.

Behind him, an elemental mage, dressed in a flamboyant, tight-fitting robe and a peaked wide-brimmed round hat, wielded a round shield and a short staff. That warm orange glimmer was the orb at the tip of the staff.

Behind the mage was a priest dressed in a loose white robe, armed with a tome of the god of wind and a white staff.

"It seems that we don't have to go out to look for it against the wind, the little ones are here~" Elemental Mage said playfully.

The three of them descended the stairs and entered the basement completely, and the last tall, thin middle-aged man in half-body armor stepped on the steps to enter.

The basement was already small, and it housed 13 apprentices, and now that four more adults had entered, it seemed a little cramped.

“1··· 2··· 11··· 13, it's all there, which is great. The young shield guard counted the apprentices with his eyes.

"This is probably the best news I've received in the past few days." When the man saw the apprentices, his face was happy, but when he saw the two female apprentices in tattered clothes, one lying on the ground and the other curled up in the corner, his eyes instantly sharpened, and a pair of thick and thick eyebrows were squeezed together.

The faces of the two ladies were also difficult to look at.

"It doesn't seem to be all good news." The priest put his staff on the stone floor.

The atmosphere in the basement was solemn again, and the joy of meeting disappeared in an instant.

Following their gaze, Jacos sensed the problem.

"Please don't be angry, we'll give you a reasonable explanation." Xu Yun stepped out, the long sword in his hand pointing at the ground to show no hostility.

Seeing that it was a short teenager who spoke, or rather a child, the four visitors did not feel threatened.

"I'll give you a chance to explain, but before that, the second-year leader should come out first, not let this first-year rookie kid stand in the way, if you still have the courage to stand up." The middle-aged man entered the basement, and with a wave of his hand, a blue water-colored barrier sealed the entrance to the basement, blocking the strong wind that poured into the basement and blocking the way to escape.

"Who's the leader?" He glared sternly at the crowd.

Jacos struggled to stand up with his right hand against the wall, he drank the healing potion Xu Yun had given, but the injury did not recover immediately, and his right leg and left arm still could not be used normally.

"It's me, I'm the captain of the Jacos team."

Seeing that Jacos was stained with blood and his right leg and left arm moved unnaturally, the middle-aged man's gaze softened.

"I'm Kurt, the Knight of the Lion of the South Wind who came to search and rescue you, tell me, what have you all been through?"

"Until then, I hope your priest will help heal my companions." Xu Yun stood in front of Jakos and spoke first.

The four later visitors raised their eyebrows together, but they didn't expect this little dot to be able to speak like this in the face of the coercive gaze of several people.

Courage is worth affirming.

"Alright, please Ella." After a slight pause, Kurt said to the pastor beside him.

"I need some clean water to clean their wounds, otherwise when they heal, the wounds will wrap up the debris in them." Priest Ella looked at the wounded in the apprentices, saw the lacerations crisscrossed on their bodies, and turned to speak.

"Leave it to me." Koedo.

Xu Yun and the others also cleaned up their wounds after returning to the basement of the watchtower, but the wind of invisibility did not leave them much time, they gave priority to dealing with the injuries on the seriously injured players, and the slightly lighter skin injuries on their bodies had not yet had time to see.

The solemn atmosphere eased slightly, and the apprentices, at the behest of Pastor Ella, removed the barriers and placed the seriously wounded in the clearing, leaving the others squatting in the corners.

During the treatment, the most painful thing was not Jacos and Claire, but Connor, who had scribbled his severed right leg in the battlefield, resulting in a lot of dust and grass clippings at the junction of the broken leg, and had to re-cut his right leg that had just grown a layer of flesh under Kurt's blade, and he screamed in pain.

The priest of Kurt's team, Ella, is a mature woman, her healing spells are much more powerful than healing potions, Connor's right leg is severed, cleaned, and reconnected much better than the previous broken leg with healing potions, and the flesh heals quickly and visibly.

The skin wounds on everyone's bodies also closed quickly under the effect of a large-scale healing spell and began to grow on their own.

After a busy time, Ella's mental power was exhausted, the injuries of the wounded members of the squad were initially stabilized, and even Claire, who had been unconscious, woke up under the healing spell.

The young shield guard Kane helped Jacos and Kerry to re-align their bones, although the previous bone graft was roughly correct, but it was not perfect, these are all injuries that may leave hidden dangers in the future, it is better to break the bone again while the bone has not healed.

Kurt sat on the steps and beckoned to Xu Yun.

"Your name is Timmy? What a brave lad. Okay, let's talk about it, I'm waiting for your explanation. Kurt tried his best to maintain his majesty, but the exhaustion on his face could be seen by everyone, maintaining the elemental shield and creating a stream of clean water required the use of elemental power, not to mention that he had led his team all the way here against the strong wind.

"Yes, Mr. Cotter. I know there must have been some misunderstanding when you saw the appearance of the two female apprentices, and in fact it was not what you thought it was. ”

"Misunderstanding?"

"Yes, misunderstanding. You should have noticed that in addition to their badly damaged clothes, they also had many wounds on their bodies, and even Claire had a broken arm. ”

Kurt listened to Xu Yun's reminder and nodded in approval.

"In fact, we just had a fight tonight, on the hillside over there, and I'm ashamed to say that the cause of this battle has something to do with me."

Kurt's gaze regained sternness, staring directly into Xu Yun's obsidian-like pupils.

Xu Yun briefly recounted the battle that took place at night, and by the way, he also explained his experience during the time when he disappeared.

"You're encountering a knot of leylines." After listening to Xu Yun's narration, Kurt fell into a short groan before he sighed softly and spoke.

"The leylines of the earth have many magical abilities, and self-cleaning is only the most insignificant one, which will actively expel pollutants that are congested in the leylines. However, this kind of self-cleaning also has certain limitations, if it is interfered with by external forces during the self-cleaning period, the flower of the leyline cannot open smoothly, it will slump inside the stamen, which will attract many monsters, and if the congested pollutants have the power of the abyss, they will not be able to nucleate the power of the leyline itself will give birth to more filthy monsters.

What you encounter should be the filthy monsters that have spawned. ”

"I didn't expect there to be a knot here, in the face of such a monster, you can survive, I really don't know how to describe you, in short... Well done. ”

"Hey, you luck, even if it's a formal team like us, it feels quite tricky to deal with, you can deal with that monster and get out of it, it's like Lord Fengshen has been protecting you." The young shield guard Kane said with a smile.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the atmosphere in the basement was much better. At the end of the treatment, Cotter's team and the apprentices sat on the ground to rest, due to the limited area of the basement, everyone had to sit and rest, and the women always had more common topics, and the twitter quickly became familiar.

Xu Yun relaxed and soon fell asleep.

That night, he dreamed of Wendy taking him on Dvalin's back and flying through the skies of Mondstadt, over the trees where the wind rises, over the peaks of the Starpicking Cliffs, over the ruins of the Temple of a Thousand Winds, over the Starfall Lake and the Whispering Forest, over the Eagle Soaring Beach next to the Forbidden Sea, and over the perennially snow-capped Dragonspine Snow Mountain.

Finally, above the snowy mountain, the huge skeleton of the demon dragon buried here rose from the ground, raised his hollow eyes, and let out a silent long roar at Xu Yun, in the howling sound, he fell from behind Tavarin, and fell into the thick snow accumulated by the Longji Snow Mountain all year round, because the snow layer was frozen extremely strong, and his bones almost fell apart, just when he just adjusted his balance and was about to get up, the huge bone dragon claw fell, pressed him in the center of the claw, and pressed him into the frozen ground covered with ice and snow.

Xu Yun woke up violently and saw Xiuma and Kerry leaning on his shoulders and pressing on his legs, only to realize that it was just a dream.

The morning light slanted into the basement, illuminating the particles floating in the air as if they were points of light, and the howling wind outside had stopped, and the early birds were chirping happily.

Pushing Xiuma and Kerry away, Xu Yun got up and prepared to go outside to bathe the Dawn Excalibur in the morning light.

There were actually a few apprentices who woke up, and when they heard the movement, they communicated with Xu Yun with their eyes.

Kurt's four-man team was not in the basement, and they could hear the sound of battle coming from outside the basement exit.

Xu Yun took advantage of the morning light sprinkled into the basement to complete the morning light bathing of the Dawn Divine Sword, and then put away the sword, picked up his bladeless sword, and climbed the stairs.

In the early morning, the meadows of the Wangfeng Mountain Plains were in shambles, large swaths of grass were burned to ashes, and round fire slimes were bouncing in groups, and wherever they passed, the grass would be ignited by the fire elemental burning on their bodies.

Not only the fire slime, but also the types of slimes that Xu Yun could see as far as his eyes could see were almost complete, the wind slimes flying in the sky, the grass slimes that occasionally jumped out of the grass, and the water and rock slimes that also jumped.

The thunder slime with tentacles flowing back and forth on his head.

The only thing missing is the Ice Slime.

Also, this summer heat is not suitable for Ice Slimes, and even if they exist, they will sink themselves into the ground, waiting for the cold weather to arrive before becoming active.

Xu Yun just glanced at it, and saw that there were no less than a dozen slimes in varying numbers, and the total number would not be less than a hundred.

"Is this a slime meeting?" Xu Yun opened his mouth slightly in astonishment.

At this time, Kurt and Kane are fighting a group of six water slimes, one large and five small. There are already several pools of slime on the ground that have been shattered after being destroyed.
