Arka: They quickly jump between the steep slopes of the peaks. Towards the place where there was a loud bang ahead, run quickly.

Based on their simple speculation, whatever the possibility, their help may be needed.

Soon they saw through the cliff what was going on where the sound had come from.

There are at least a dozen of them, and all sorts of strange evil spirits are sliding and leaping between the mountains and forests. Chase towards a goal.

And that target, just as Arka had expected, was a half-elemental of the Stonehoof Clan.

And it looked very much like the bull-headed guard they had seen at the gate of the Stone Forest before.

It can even be said that it is exactly the same in appearance, only in some details, there are differences.

From this point it can be judged that they are not the same.

A minotaur with brown skin and a body covered in a large area of dirt.

But he has a lot of cracks in his body.

Stone pillars protruded from the earth, allowing the bull's head to move quickly between the mountains and forests.

Move quickly to avoid the pursuit of those evil spirits.

He didn't use the kind of way Arka they had seen before on the sentinels, who could swim through the dirt.

"Ahhhh

An ear-piercing scream came from the mouth of an evil spirit resembling a banshee.

Arka couldn't help but frown, shielding her ears from the sting of the voice.

Under such actions, the minotaur's escape behavior stuck, and he fell directly from the stone pillar.

This soul wail did much more damage to these half-elemental creatures than they thought.

A crack appeared on his body visibly.

However, on the way down, he grabbed a pillar protruding from the stone wall, then got up and escaped once again by manipulating the dirt.

"It's over." Looking at this scene, Arka said suddenly.

Because of their coming, they have brought the evil spirits that have been following them with them as well. In an instant, these evil spirits began to pounce on the minotaur of the Stonehoof Clan.

Temporarily abandoned their tracking of Arka.

The direction that happened to rush was the direction in which the bull head fled, and in an instant the minotaur was surrounded.

The sudden arrival of a large group of evil spirits made the bull-headed person stand in place.

The sudden encirclement made him a little incomprehensible.

In this case, the stone pillar under the foot extends infinitely upward, and suddenly rises by about 20 meters. Looking at the appearance of the bull's head, he knew that this was already his limit.

The spirits clinged to the pillars and crawled upwards to make their way to the minotaur.

"Give him a hand." Arka said, wings of the wind formed by a cyan breeze appeared on his back.

A breeze sprayed from his wings and pushed him up.

After about the same distance, the red flame card is used by Alka. A flame burned around the underside of the stone pillar.

In an instant, a large number of evil spirits were burned and fell from the stone pillar.

The spikes of those stone pillars had no effect on these evil spirits, and through this scene, they also knew why the Stone Hoof group was reluctant to go deep into the mountains.

These evil spirits are simply their natural nemesis.

Attacks on spirits and souls make them difficult to defend against. His most handy Earth Elemental Manipulation Attack has little effect on evil spirits.

In Arka's eyes, this semi-elemental minotaur has even reached stage 5 in strength.

And the evil spirits that pursued him were only in the fourth stage, and most of them were second-stage existences. But even so, it was still difficult for him to have much effect on these evil spirits.

It's like you've met a natural enemy.

Looking at the Arka who suddenly came over, the minotaur was obviously relieved.

According to Arka's actions, they were clearly here to help him.

Standing on the stone pillar, he raised his hands high, and a golden beam of light converged on his hand, and then he spread it.

A large number of evil spirits faded in an instant, terrified in this golden light.

"Believers in Our Lady?" Xia Daiti was a little surprised.

A half-elemental creature of the Stonehoof clan actually believes in Our Lady? It's also too weird.

There are more reasons to help, though.

With a wave of his hand, the white moonlight shone brightly, expelling all the remaining evil spirits. All the evil spirits were either burned to ashes in an instant, or they took refuge.

The pillar slid down, and the minotaur jumped to Arka's side.

"Thank you for your help." As he spoke, he crossed his hands and made a gesture of prayer to the Virgin.

The Arka nodded and responded with the same gesture.

Looking at this scene, this minotaur felt that the breath of the Holy Mother on Alka and Xia Daiti was much stronger than himself.

"Are you believers in Our Lady? You're still a saint, disrespectful. ”

Looking at this scene, Arka hurriedly waved his hand: "No need to be like this. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be a member of the Rockhoof Clan, why did you go so deep?" Arka couldn't help but ask, confused.

If any of his people were lost in such depths, Arka was sure that the elder would tell him to ask for his help.

"Have you been to the Stone Forest? How's it going there? ”

This half-elemental creature of the Stonehoof Clan, who looked like a minotaur, couldn't help but ask.

Arka could even hear the anxious voice from his fluent tapping words.

You must know that his communication with those half-elemental creatures in the stone forest is either stumbling in his speech, and his smooth speech is also extremely dull, as if he has no feelings.

Even the elder could not hear any emotional ups and downs other than his fluent speech.

The voice of the minotaur in front of him was extremely smooth and smooth, and his emotional fluctuations were extremely obvious.

If it weren't for the fact that Arka knew that he was a half-elemental creature of the Stonehoof Clan, and most of the people who had seen him, they would have thought that this was a flesh and blood creature.

"That's right, we're from over there. I don't know what it used to be like, but it doesn't look like a problem now. ”

Hearing Arka's answer, the minotaur in front of him nodded.

Even the expressions are vivid.

"Thank you, I'm a member of the Rockhoof Clan, and my name is Rockhorn."

After introducing each other.

Lucilia sat on Alka's shoulder and couldn't help but ask, "You are very different from your people, you speak very fluently, and you have emotional ups and downs. ”

Hearing this, Iwakuchi smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I've lived in the human community for a long time. ”

"Why are you going so deep, it's too dangerous for you, isn't it?" Arka asked next to him.

Hearing this, Rockhorn sighed and leaned against the stone wall and said, "You must be confused, but my brother and I left the Stone Forest seven days and nights ago in 213, and we are ready to get to know the world well. ”

Then he said embarrassedly: "But your world is actually the world of the ocean, so we haven't even gone out of this continent."

After traveling around the world, we joined the front lines to fight the demons and became mercenaries.

Trade your money for some earth-infused materials and hedrons. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded, and it was very reasonable.

"But before, maybe a month ago, when we were chasing demons. The demon forcibly opened the portal and sent us here with us.

To be honest, we were unlucky, we killed the demon, but the evil spirits here are more threatening.

My brother...... Dead at the hands of evil spirits, I survived with great difficulty in this place because of my belief that Our Lady still had some means of dealing with them. ”

With that, the half-elemental minotaur looked at Arka with his hands crossed and pleaded, "For the sake of the Virgin, friend.

Can you do me a favor, my brother's core spar is still there, there are evil spirits around and I can't get through it at all, I haven't found a flaw to get it for so long. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded, and it suddenly dawned on him that this was the case.

No wonder there was an extra hedron.

It turned out to be this reason.

With that in mind, Arka took out the hedron they had already obtained from the space.

"Is that so?"

Seeing this spar, Iwaku's expression was a little surprised, and then he nodded and asked suspiciously, "How can you have this kind of spar?"

My people wouldn't let this kind of thing go unchecked. ”

"This is what the Elder of the Stonehoof Clan has commissioned us to find in this mountain range, and he says there are three in all."

When he heard Arka's words, it dawned on him that he knew about it too.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much for helping our people, but this one is not my brother's.

There were so many evil spirits chasing me just now because I tried to retrieve my brother's hedron and alarmed the evil spirits around me. ”

Iwakuchi said with a sigh.

It has to be said that although the appearance is similar to the semi-element of the Stonehoof family. But the expression of various emotions and the flexibility of words are basically the same as that of a normal flesh and blood creature.

Hearing Rockhorn's request, Arka nodded.

Not to mention that they were going to look for the hedron in the first place, plus the rock horn was actually a believer in the Holy Mother. Arka they helped without any problems at all.

After all, these evil spirits were a dangerous area that was difficult for them to move on, the half-elemental of the earth element.

But for Arka, there is little threat, and they have too many means to deal with these evil spirits.

At best, it's just a matter of going a little further.

Arka nodded and said, "No problem, you can also come with us, we need to go deeper and find something, and then take you out with us after we find it."

It's a little safer that way. ”

Hearing Arka's words, Iwakuka nodded and said happily, "That's great, thank you very much for your help." ”

Once again, he thanked him, after all, he was desperate before Arka and the others came in.

It's just trying to survive in despair.

Who knew the surprise would come so suddenly.

Led by Rock Horn, Arka and the others set out on their journey once more, towards the place where his brother had died.

Soon he saw the stone pillars that the half-elemental creatures had turned into after they died. And this stone pillar was even taller than the first one they had seen before, twelve or thirteen meters in size. And it's extremely stout, like a stone tower.

There are a lot of evil spirits gathered around, and I wonder if the reason they are gathered here is because they are waiting for the rabbit.

After all, these evil spirits still possess a certain amount of instinctive intelligence, just like bloodthirsty beasts.

Looking at this group of evil spirits, Xia Daiti stretched out his hand and circled it. A moon-like ball of glow slammed straight down into the area.

The ball of light fell, like a moon rising from the ground, spreading and expanding around.

In the midst of a hoarse scream, the group of evil spirits turned into ashes in an instant.

A gentle breeze swept through the ashes of the ground.

Rock Horn just stood there and watched the scene.

There is a sense of unreality.

The problem that had embarrassed him for so long was solved so easily by others.

I couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to have many means." ”

After all, his strength is actually not weak, but he is too restrained by these evil spirits.

Fortunately, he believed in Our Lady and was able to temporarily receive some additional Light power from Our Lady through prayer.

The body of a half-elemental creature is both a gift and an obstacle.

Gives them innate elemental manipulation, but also limits their control over other powers.

Hearing this, Arka smiled.

The crowd walked over and looked at the tall stone pillar.

"Is this your brother's corpse? It's a lot bigger than the one we've seen before. Is it because of strength? ”

Hearing Lucilia's question, Rock Horn nodded, "There is a reason for this. Another part is the passage of time. After all, the stone pillars have been left here for too long, and time will wear them away. ”

Hearing this, several people nodded. He watched as Rock Corner came to the stone pillar and placed his four-fingered hand on the surface.

Like a mud roll, no different from the effect produced by the earth card that Arka used before, a hedron emerges from it.

This hedron was obviously a lap bigger than the one that Arka had obtained earlier.

The energy emitted is also stronger.

From here, it can be known that at least his brother's strength must be stronger than the one in Alka's hand.

Looking at the hedron in his hand, Iwakuchi sighed.

It was placed on his chest and incorporated into it, presumably as a temporary storage.

"Thank you."

Arka nodded, then turned slightly towards her destination.

Rock Horn followed behind them.

It only took about two days for Arka to come to the orange pillar of light, where the Staff of the Cloud was hiding.

As soon as you come here, you can feel the gloomy aura here, there are too many evil spirits here, and the black and red eyes around are everywhere.

These evil spirits are hiding everywhere and watching them.

Even though it's daytime, it's dark and gloomy, and a biting cold wind is blowing.

The cold wind blew through the mountains, making a whistling sound like a wail.

In such an area, the rock corner is extremely uncomfortable, and the stronger the strength, the more sensitive it is to the more dangerous things are.

And every evil spirit here is a mortal threat to him.

It's like a lamb entering the middle of a pack of wolves.

A huge evil spirit, straight towards Arka and them, completely oblivious to the threat posed by the moonlight.

However, the evil spirits of the fourth stage are still evil spirits.

Arka's neighbor sent out a thick fireball with a little bit of holy light attached to it. In an instant, it ignited and turned to ashes.

They have been following Arka for a few days, and they have seen almost all kinds of their shots.

Rock Horn looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever defended in the Demon Hunting Fort before?" ”

Hearing this, Arka turned to look at him and nodded.

"That's right."

"So you're the Pupil of the Compass?" Rock Horn asked.

It seems that their reputation has spread, and Arka nodded directly to this and did not hide it.

"No wonder, it's you, it's really amazing."

As they spoke, they listened to Iwakoku's narration as they advanced, "I was fighting in the Demon Fortress before I was teleported in by the demons.

I heard from the soldiers who had come to the aid of the Demon Hunter Fortress. Talk about how powerful you are, and I've seen you play with the Devouring Mouth in your dreams before. ”

"I didn't expect to meet you here, I'm really lucky to be there."

Although Arka and the others did not go to the Demon Fortress to support, the soldiers of the Demon Hunter Fortress who went there spread their reputation.

Coupled with the fact that a few years ago, they had already spread their scars around the world, making their fame even greater.

Arka smiled.

In the middle of small talk, we came to the edge of the area.

"Let's set up camp here."

Hearing this, Iwakaku asked with some confusion, "Are you going to stay here for a while longer?" ”

Arka nodded: "That's right, what we're looking for may not be so easy to find for a while." ”

Hearing this, Iwaku nodded, then crouched down and pressed his hands to the ground.

As the earth element spread, traces of floating appeared on the ground, and soon a square stone house emerged directly from the ground.

"I can't help with those evil spirits, but I can do this little thing."

Looking at this stone house, it seemed that this was not the first time he had used such a skill.

The stone house was built so well that even the watchtower was built.

It includes a series of furniture such as some simple stone beds and stone benches, and the components of the stone house are also very suitable for resisting enemy attacks.

There is also a bonfire in the center and a chimney that spreads smoke.

A simple stroll.

Arka looked at Shadetti and said, "Let's take a walk around here, learn about the surrounding terrain by the way, and prepare to draw a map." ”

Xia Daiti nodded.

The two walked out of the camp, while the rest stayed in the camp and began to set up.
