The scars of the world.

In the Wraith Mountains, in a cave at the foot of one of the mountains, the Arka and their people rested inside.

Arka leaned against the cave and sat on his sleeping bag looking at the map in his hand.

All the blue spots on the map have been clicked by him, and there are a total of four of them that are the elemental cores left behind after the death of the half-elemental creatures of the Stonehoof Clan.

This is different from the three that the elder said, and there is obviously one more.

"Have you been looking at this map, do you have any problems?" Shadetti asked, sitting next to him and looking at Arka.

Hearing this, Arka glanced up at her and said, "It's a little different, because there are a total of four elemental core breaths that I detected on the map, unlike the three that the elder said, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's normal to have one more, maybe he just knows that these three are dead. Maybe he thinks the other one isn't dead, but not necessarily. Bororo said beside him.

Julia shook her head when she heard this, "No, it shouldn't be like this.

The remaining population of their race is so small that you should all be able to see it, only a few hundred.

As one of the leaders of the race, could this elder not be able to count the wrong number of people, right?

Every clan member is an extremely precious existence, and one less may be a big deal. ”

Arka nodded, that's what he thought.

How could a member of his clan die in such a situation, and he didn't know it.

This may only happen if there are too many people.

It's like a village where everyone knows each other as neighbors, and who is suddenly gone, how can no one know it?

"There are too many unexpected situations, and we don't know much about this group, do we?" Xia Daiti said beside him.

A few people nodded, indeed.

In the midst of small talk, the darkness outside dissipated. Light illuminates the mountains for a moment.

It's dawn.

"Come around, let's go here." Arka said, dotting on the map.

It was the nearest blue spot to them, and it was the hedron they needed to get their hands on.

Xia Daiti waved his hand slightly, and a very tiny moon appeared above their heads, about the size of their heads.

The moon shrouded them in a cold light.

With this moon in the head, the crowd began to move forward.

Without this full moon, they would walk in the mountains, and there would be all kinds of evil spirits that would haunt them more than they could have imagined.

Especially those evil spirits who are not strong, but are very annoying, are constantly harassing them.

And the moon used by Xia Daiti can dispel these evil spirits very well, unless the level is relatively strong, those evil spirits dare not approach at all.

Because most of the evil spirits are actually around the second stage, and there are not a few in the third stage.

It is also possible that this is the peripheral reason.

The reason evil spirits are annoying is because it is difficult to have the means to get rid of them.

These evil spirits can only be dispersed by various means, especially in high-magic areas such as the Boundless Sea.

The strength of the evil spirits is much more difficult to get rid of than the evil spirits they encountered in the Homeland Sea before.

"Here we go again."

Poloro looked at the blood-colored pupils in a piece of rubble and said irritably.

Hearing Bororo's words, Arka turned his head and glanced at the corner where the blood-colored pupils were.

"What are you staring for? You have the ability to come and bite me. ”

"Hiss~"

The evil spirit hid in a dark corner and let out a menacing roar, but it didn't rush out of Arka's words.

"It seems that these evil spirits still have the most basic wisdom." Arka looked at the evil spirit and said.

Afraid of this moonlight, with fearful emotions.

In addition to this one, Arka also saw another one in another gravel crevice not far away, and this one was much bolder.

In the sunlight, he almost poked his head out, and opened his huge mouth, which was full of sharp teeth.

With his child-like face, he looks unusually terrifying.

"I know this one." Lucilia said when she saw the evil spirit staring at them not far away.

Hearing this, Arka blinked at the evil spirit, whose strength was around the third stage.

"I killed it before." Lucilia said, and another blood-colored condensed blade appeared in her hand and was thrown out by her.

Seeing the blood-colored flying blade, the evil spirit immediately dissipated on the spot and disappeared.

Apparently it was aware of the attack.

"It seems that this evil spirit is not so easy to destroy, is it because of the environmental problems here?" Xia Daiti couldn't help but ask.

Because as they advance, more and more evil spirits are watching them from all corners. He also saw one or two evil spirits that he had killed yesterday.

If these evil spirits are different in appearance, it should be the one from yesterday, but now it has been resurrected, and you must know that they have used the power of the Holy Mother to kill these evil spirits.

For these evil spirits, the power of Our Lady is wonderful.

There should be no such thing as a lack of cleanliness.

"That's why this area has been here because these evil spirits are hard to destroy." Arka said.

After all, this is also considered the rear, and it is not too far from the front line and various safe roads.

If these evil spirits were very unstable, they would have been eliminated a long time ago. The reason why these evil spirits have survived to this day is that it is difficult to destroy, and the second is that these evil spirits may only wander in this mountain range and cannot leave.

Compared to the demons on the front line, such a threat is naturally nothing, and there is no need to spend extra energy and troops to clean it up.

After all, with the demons on the front line, humans don't have so much energy to do these things.

Arka has been floating beside the brown earth card, through which he senses the crystals of the element.

Soon they were in the moonlight, under the gaze of countless evil spirits, to the area.

And in the distance he saw a stone pillar.

The pillar protrudes from the barren ground to a height of about seven or eight meters, and the material that makes up the pillar is not quite the same as the surrounding land.

Through the earth card, Arka can clearly feel the crystals of the high-energy earth element in this stone pillar.

Based on the orientation of the map, this should be the blue point.

As Arka and the others approached, an evil spirit coiled around the stone pillar, and the shape of this evil spirit was too uncomfortable.

Like a snake, the tongue is a human face, and even the snake's body has all kinds of human heads connected to it.

Coiled over the stone pillars, they roared at the passing Arka, each head letting out a shrill laugh of varying tones.

"This evil spirit...... It's disgusting, isn't it? Poloro's face was wrinkled, and he said in disgust.

I couldn't help but wipe my arm, and I got goosebumps.

Arka looked at this evil spirit's strength in the third stage.

It's the same difficulty as when he looks at the point.

"Just walk over and see if he'll be forced to leave because of our arrival."

Arka said, approaching the pillar with the others.

The moonlight above them kept shining as they got closer. The multi-faceted serpent kept roaring, and of course it didn't dare to attack at all. Obviously, this moonlight still made them instinctively afraid.

As they got closer, the roar grew louder and louder, and finally the evil spirit seemed to be unable to hold back, and its whole body catapulted directly towards them.

The snake's actions seemed to have some kind of chain reaction.

As the snake rushed towards them, the evil spirits that had been surrounding them seemed to have been seduced by the impulse and rushed towards them in a swarm.

"How bold are people?" Arka couldn't help but say.

It seems that there is still not enough wisdom, there is not enough reason, and it is still in madness.

Confused, the sound of music sounded as if it bound the soul.

Julia played the harp in her hand, and the gramophone floated beside her, playing the sound of music that had already been recorded.

It's a tune they've never heard before.

"Soul Binding Concerto."

The sound of the music spread around, and all the evil spirits seemed to be carrying a thousand pounds, and instantly slowed down like a turtle crawling.

It's as if all around them have slowed down in time, and it's very interesting.

A red flame card appeared next to Alka, and he stretched out his hand.

A circle of flames ignited around them, then turned into a circle, enclosing them in the center.

The flames burned brightly, forming a wall of fire.

Of most of the elements, fire is one of the few elements that can effectively attack evil spirits.

It is also the most common element that is the most aggressive for evil spirits.

Although it is not as good as the Holy Light, it is much easier to use than other elemental energies. If you want to do something like earth or water, there's nothing you can do about it.

The moonlight above Xia Daiti's head emitted an even brighter light, and the light expanded in an instant.

In an instant, the evil spirits began to scream slowly and scream in pain, struggling as if in slow motion.

A faint green smoke came out of his body, as if it had been ignited, but the pain was gradual and did not occur overnight.

If Xia Daiti is willing to exert his full strength, then he will be able to clean up the evil spirits of the second and third stages in an instant.

Bororo's abilities are also capable of causing serious damage to these evil spirits, after all, it is thunder and lightning.

However, the annihilation effect attached to the Winter Flower does not seem to have much effect on these evil spirits.

The annihilation effect has a tremendous lethal effect on objects with real bodies and entities, almost reaching the level of complete armor piercing.

But for things like the state of the spirit and the soul, it doesn't seem to work very much.

But it is enough to have the element of thunder and lightning, and the damage caused to the evil spirits may be higher than the fire element of Alka in some cases.

Only Lucilia's red energy body can only cause a certain amount of damage to evil spirits normally.

The abilities of the crowd were used alternately, and not by very strong means. In an instant, these evil spirits came to their senses.

After leaving behind a pile of ashes after the death of the undead, the remaining evil spirits scattered and fled.

It won't be long before they're all around again.

The giant snake that rushed over first was taken care of, and had turned into a long strip of gray-white ash left on the ground.

Looking at the evil spirits that slipped back into the corners, a turquoise card appeared next to Arka. This is a wind that he rarely uses.

With a slight wave of his hand, the breeze swept across the earth, and the gray-white ash on the ground was immediately swept into a stream by the breeze, and it was stuffed into the transparent glass bottle that Arka had prepared long ago.

Soul dust is a rare material, and it can be regarded as a harvest.

Putting the bottle away, Arka came to the stone pillar.

I looked at the stone pillar and touched it, and by the way, I knocked on it and felt the material of the stone.

"I've never seen a stone before, and it's quite hard."

Arka said, and a brown earth tile emerged.

Stretching out his finger and gently pulling on the stone pillar, the stone pillar cracked. Like mud bubbling, a crystal emerged from it and fell into Alka's hands.

This is a brown water crystal about the size of a palm, and you can clearly feel the abnormal condensation of energy inside.

"This material is a bit like the Earth Elemental Nucleus you used to construct this Earth card." Xia Daiti looked at the crystal in Alka's palm and said.

After all, this elemental crystal nucleus is very rare, and Xia Daiti is responsible for booking and purchasing it outside, so she has handled it.

Arka nodded, looking at the hedroid. Pinch it and face it to the sun, which shines through the hedron and emits a brilliant brown glow like gold.

"It's probably the same type of thing, but this one in my hand is a little more precious. However, the earth element inside is too condensed, and it belongs to the kind that is difficult to mobilize. ”

The rarity and energy intensity must be above the strength of the earth core that he purchased before.

But if you want to say that it is easy to use and easy to shape, it must be the one that is easier to use.

Each has its own merits.

Looking at this spar, Lucilia suddenly said, "Do you think there is a possibility, this spar may be able to give birth to new semi-elemental life after it returns." ”

Hearing this, the crowd turned their heads to stare at Lucilia. Arka couldn't help but ponder, and couldn't help but say, "Don't say it, it's really possible." ”

Because he couldn't help but recall the elemental doctrines he had studied before, and even now he is still learning these elemental theories.

There is some speculation about how the elemental life converges, and most of the elemental crystals are called the core or the output of some elemental life after the death of the elemental life.

There are also experiments that have shown that it is indeed possible to generate new elemental life through the elemental core.

But it's still quite different from half-elemental creatures, maybe it's similar.

Julia thought of the elemental environment of the Stone Forest, shook her head, and said, "Even if you can generate a new semi-elemental body through this kind of spar, it is actually very difficult.

After all, the single element of strength is actually not pure, and the concentration of the earth element is not high. It is too difficult to conceive a new life in such an environment, and it is difficult for them to survive on their own. ”

And that is true.

This is the case, as can be seen in the rifts in the elemental creatures.

"It's a pity, and I don't know if they're good luck or bad luck."

Alka was talking about what they had learned about it before.

The Rockhoof migrated here from the Elemental Interface that was about to collapse.

If truth be told, it's a stroke of luck that they've moved here. It's a pity that they migrated to a world where the water element flourished.

If it was a world where multiple elements were balanced, then it was very simple to create a place where a single element was strong in a certain area.

It's a pity that the Infinite Sea is now a marine world, and the water element inevitably flourishes. The other elements are suppressed differently, and it is extremely difficult to find a single element.

Unless it's the water element.

For these semi-elements, they need a single element to be sufficiently pure, not a single element with a high concentration.

The two seem to be the same, but they are very different.

Holding the hedron in hand, Arka kept it in space.

Then the group chatted as they made their way into the distance, continuing towards their destination.

Before reaching their destination, there is another hedron that they can obtain.

Under the moonlight, the surrounding evil spirits can only watch like this.

……

"Boom."

In the distance, there was the sound of gravel rolling violently.

Arka, who was marching, immediately stood in the camp, and Arka squinted slightly, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

There was another loud rumbling sound, as if the mountain had collapsed, and it was like a wave after wave.

Xia Daiti shook his head and said, "No, the direction from which the voice came from is too far. ”

Apparently it was too far away, and her silver fluctuation probe wasn't that far.

Alka's big card floats all the time, and it's the best card to play in an area like this. So the Arka naturally lets it float outside at any time.

Following the loud rumbling sound, Arka could clearly feel that the earth element had produced violent fluctuations, and someone was using a similar elemental convergence to generate an attack.

"Be careful, it doesn't come naturally."

Then the volatility became more intense.

"Let's go and see...... It doesn't feel like a demon can cause it, and it can't be something that an evil spirit can cause. ”

The earth elemental fluctuations are too high, and it is either someone who has mastered a treasure that can control the soil, or someone from the Stonehoof clan.
