Chapter 264: The Way Home

Duke let another Heart-Eye Beast in, and this time he could see what kind of spirit beast was hidden in the deepest part of the cave.

It's not a snake, it's a small beast that looks like a hedgehog, but has a long body.

"Unknown breed of 1-ring spirit beast, well, I feel that the strength is average, and the fluctuation of spiritual power is not very strong." With the help of the observation of the Heart-Eyed Beast, Duke had a general understanding of the situation of the long hedgehog, "It is suitable for Xiaodou to practice his hands." ”

He controlled the Heart-Eye Beast and came back with a Flying Snake Fruit in his mouth.

When the Flying Snake Fruit arrived, the hand of the arcane weapon condensed out, and then turned into thousands of threads, piercing into the Flying Snake Fruit and perceiving it carefully.

Soon.

A look of surprise appeared in Duke's eyes: "Very interesting energy, there is a rhythm that echoes the sea of blood. ”

He glanced down at Xiao Dou standing at his feet: "Maybe this time, Xiao Dou really has a chance to break through and evolve into a phantom beast!" ”

"Tsk!" Xiao Dou held his head high, salivating at the flying snake fruit in Duke's hand.

It can also feel this miraculous fruit in the dark, and it has a very important role for itself, so it should not be missed.

"I can't eat it now." Duke squinted, squatted down, and touched Xiaodou's head, "Go ahead, kill that long hedgehog in the cave, the whole cave of the flying snake fruit, you can enjoy it as you like, go on, go on." ”

"Tsk!"

With Duke's encouragement, Xiaodou suddenly walked like a fly and ran directly into the cave.

Duke instantly sent the Heart-Eyed Little Beast and followed behind Xiao Dou, and at the same time, he remotely controlled the hand of the arcane weapon, and also followed behind Xiao Dou.

The Heart-Eye Beast monitors the battlefield, and the hand of the arcane weapon is ready to support you.

It was very easy for Duke to do two things, and he even had the leisure to find a notebook made of animal skins and write and draw on it.

This is a textbook, recording some basic common knowledge on it, and then letting the Assiba tribe learn it on their own.

Coming here is fate, and the elves who abducted the other party have to leave some knowledge as compensation.

Meanwhile.

The little pocket in the cave has already launched an attack on the long hedgehog, and the long hair on his body has turned into spikes, more like a hedgehog than the long hedgehog.

The arcane light flickered, and the two 1-ring spirit beasts began to fight frantically without too much temptation.

Duke controls the hand of the arcane weapon, constantly stretching and expanding to protect the Flying Snake Fruit growing on the cave wall from being broken.

"Let's take it off first." He thought about it, and then a little beast with a heart eye turned into a large-mouthed toad, and jumped into the cave.

opened his mouth, stretched and retracted his tongue, and a flying snake fruit entered his stomach.

Before Xiaodou and the long hedgehog could decide the winner, he had already picked all the flying snake fruits on the cave wall and sent them out.

"It's not accurate to say that the Flying Snake Fruit is not the fruit of the plant, to be precise, it should be the special energy crystallization condensed on the cave wall." Duke glanced at the surroundings, "With the formation attainment that I am not proficient in, I can see that this is a natural formation. ”

Nature created this natural formation, condensing the surrounding spirits and storing them in the Flying Serpent Rock.

"Then maybe the spirit beast fought in the swamp, and the bloody qi was also absorbed by the natural formation, and fused with the spirit in the cave of the Flying Snake Rock, and finally formed this kind of flying snake fruit with surging qi and blood power...... Let's just call it the Blood Spirit Crystal. ”

The Blood Spirit Crystal is not the biggest gain, for Duke, this natural formation is the real gain of this trip.

Formations are one of the major areas of spiritual arcane, and this natural formation will undoubtedly expand Duke's understanding of spiritual arcane.

"Hmm."

Duke came back to his senses and found that in the cave, the little pocket and the long hedgehog had already decided the winner.

I saw Xiaodou use the spikes made of the long hair on his body against the throat of the long hedgehog, and the blood kept gushing out.

"Hum hum ......" The long hedgehog breath gradually weakened.

Xiao Dou gasped and screamed loudly, expressing his enthusiasm - although it did not grow up in the wild, it was not less professionally trained, and its combat choices were far more technical than ordinary spirit beasts.

"Come back, little pocket." The Heart-Eyed Beast opened its mouth and made a Duke sound.

"Tsk!" Xiaodou let go of the long hedgehog, but with a flick of his tail, he directly used the long hairy spikes on his tail to tie the long hedgehog and drag it out of the cave.

After a while, he dragged the body of the long hedgehog to Duke's side.

Offering treasures like chirping.

"Very good, after a killing, your qi and blood should also start to surge." Duke took out a few blood spirit crystals and fed them to Xiao Dou, "Eat, take the blood spirit crystals while the qi and blood are surging, the surging power of qi and blood may be able to help you!" ”

"Tsk!" Xiao Dou was unequivocal, swallowed a blood spirit crystal in one bite, chewed it, and found that it melted in his mouth, and immediately turned into a dry rice beast.

Gulping down the blood spirit crystal.

Seeing this, Duke prayed silently in his heart: "I hope that the spirit will really love me and guide Xiaodou to evolve into a phantom beast, not a spirit beast!" ”

The little power of the phantom beast, Duke is not rare.

He just hopes that Xiaodou can have a better future, if he evolves into a spirit beast, Xiaodou will be at the level of 2 rings for the rest of his life.

Only by evolving into a Phantom Beast can there be hope of following Duke and promoting to a 3-Ring High-Level Phantom Beast, or even a 4-Ring Dragon Beast.

After a few minutes, the little belly was round.

Duke carried it to the top of the Flying Serpent Rock and let Xiao Dou slowly digest the power of the Blood Spirit Crystal.

He silently continued to write and draw in the animal skin notebook. However, most of the attention is still on Xiaodou.

Through the knightly contract, he could feel that Xiao Dou's body was now filled with the power of qi and blood brought by the blood spirit crystal, rampaging through its body, and every impact could increase its physical strength and bring it a trace of evolution.

Duke reached out and ripped the hair off his little pocket's head, and found the knight's contract mark, the end of the second loop almost merging.

"The spirit beast is still a phantom beast, it's here, come on, Xiaodou!"

"Tsk!"

Xiao Dou was uncomfortable by the powerful force of qi and blood, but feeling Duke's encouragement, it gritted its teeth and persevered.

Soon, the power of blood and blood of the blood spirit crystal had already leaked out from Xiao Dou's body, releasing Xiao Dou's whole body as if it was bleeding profusely, and it was soon dyed from gray fur to red fur, like a fire fox that was so red that it was dripping blood.

"Tsk!" Xiaodou screamed uncomfortably.

The Oak Spirit, who had been silently watching, couldn't bear to say, "Duke, it doesn't seem to be able to suppress its strength." ”

The power of qi and blood is still surging outward, and the power in Xiaodou's body is so great that not only does the qi and blood penetrate the body, but even the blood vessels are ruptured by the pressure.

Now it's really spurting blood.

"No way!" Duke threw away the animal skin notebook, "Xiaoyi, hurry up and think of a way, Xiaodou has now been attracted by the blood spirit crystal, and if he is not careful, he will be in danger of exploding and dying." I had to do something to help it suppress the power of qi and blood. ”

Xiao Yi quickly gave the calculation results: "Master, the only way for you to help now is to run the blood refining method to ease the power of qi and blood in Xiao Dou's body." ”

"Run!"

The idea is given.

Xiao Yi directly began to hang up the blood refining method, and as Duke's blood sea began to surge, the power of qi and blood in Xiao Dou's body seemed to have an outlet, and a force followed the rhythm of the blood sea and impacted Duke's body.

"Good time!" Duke was not afraid.

His body has already reached a physique comparable to that of a spirit beast under the blessing of the power of the three seas.

Even if the physical fitness of ordinary 1-ring and 2-ring spirit beasts is not necessarily as good as Duke's physical fitness.

The powerful power of qi and blood rushed in, was accepted and guided by his body, and then merged into the fighting qi, surging towards the heart position.

When it passed through the heart, it was directly engulfed by the sea of blood in the void.

It is then fused and transformed into a new fighting qi, which gushes back into the heart, and continues to run and grow along the meridians, bearing the impact of this evolution together with Xiaodou.

"Tsk!" Xiaodou lay on the ground and looked at Duke gratefully.

Duke stretched out his hand and touched Xiaodou's head with satisfaction: "Do your best to obey the fate of God, no matter whether you can succeed or not, you are my best knight partner." ”

"Twitter ......"

When Xiaodou heard this, a trace of excitement and determination flashed in his eyes.

Then he gritted his teeth violently, and then opened his mouth and roared loudly: "Tsk...... Roar! ”

As if the vocal cords were torn apart, the roar of the little pocket, which could only chirp, suddenly turned into a roar like a tiger.

The next moment.

The knight's contract mark on its head, glowing red, mingled with blood-red hair, but it couldn't be ignored.

A small mark that radiates a big light.

The second loop snapped shut together, forming a complete set of 2-ring Knight Contract Seals. With the consummation of the contract seal, a whole new force rose from the boiling power of qi and blood, and quickly took its place.

This surging power, as if it was heated, evaporated the blood-red light and blood all over Xiaodou's body.

The gray hair has been restored, and the body size has not grown, and it is still half a meter long.

It still looks so inconspicuous.

But Duke laughed happily, and Xiaodou was promoted.

It was promoted from 1 ring to 2 rings, and it was not clear from its appearance that it was promoted to a 2-ring spirit beast-long-haired meerkat, or a 2-ring phantom beast-meerkat armor.

But the qualitative change of vindictiveness in Duke's own body is clearly feeding back the results. Xiaodou was successfully promoted to a phantom beast, and even his fighting spirit changed qualitatively, from a 1-ring knight to a 2-ring phantom beast knight.

"What a feeling!" Duke clenched his fists, and the qualitative change of his fighting qi was rapid, and it had changed from a gaseous state to a liquid state in an instant.

The current fighting qi is like blood, flowing in the meridians.

"Roar!" Xiaodou stood up with his head held high, proudly puffed up his chest, and showed his identity as a 2-ring phantasmagoric beast.

"Congratulations, Duke." The Oak Spirit danced and said happily, "Congratulations to Xiaodou for being promoted to a 2-Ring Phantom Beast." ”

"Roar!" Xiaodou grinned.

Its appearance has not changed much, it is still a slender mongoose, but its voice is no longer as sharp as before, and it has become powerful.

"It's a moment to celebrate." Duke calmed down the restlessness of Xia Dou's temperament and sighed, "Since I came to the Oak Forest, my Sanhai cultivation has successfully entered the next stage...... Qi Hai was promoted to 3-ring Great Elf Envoy, Spirit Sea was promoted to 3-Ring Arcan, and Blood Sea was also promoted to 2-Ring Phantom Beast Knight. ”

Just as he sighed, Xiao Yi sent an early warning: "Warning, a high-level spirit beast has entered the reconnaissance range and is rapidly advancing towards the Flying Snake Rock." ”

"Hmm." Duke furrowed his eyebrows.

First beckoned to the oak spirit: "You go back to the sea of qi first." ”

"Okay." The acorn flew into Duke's belly, and the sea of human qi was always the best hiding place for the elves.

Then Duke looked at Xiao Dou, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Xiao Dou, it's time to merge a wave!" ”、

"Roar!" Xiao Dou instantly understood Duke's intentions, and then pounced on Duke, and new power poured out from it, directly resonating with Duke's sea of blood.

And then.

It turned into a set of spiked armor that snuggled snugly around Duke's body.

"It's time to go." Seeing that on the Dou Qi holographic screen, a small dot with a flashing red light was rapidly approaching, and Duke suddenly activated a new Dou Qi.

A faint white wing condensed on its back.

With a slight fan, he flew straight into the sky, quickly flying towards the Asiba tribe, and threw the high-level spirit beast that had not yet met on the Flying Snake Rock.

The illusion arcane covered its tracks all the way, and in this way, it returned safely to the Aciba tribe.

Duke returned to the treehouse, not in a hurry to unintegrate with Xiaodou, but released the 1-ring Arcane-Water Mirror Technique, admiring the set of spiked armor on his body.

Gray-black.

The color of the hair is close to that of Xiao Dou, shimmering with a faint dark luster, which is certainly much worse than the fiery red and golden yellow.

However, the gray-black color, as well as the dense spikes, as well as the fitting angle like flowing water, all make this set of spiked armor show a sense of strength, and in the low-key and restrained, there is a killing aura that is ready to move.

"Okay, cool!" The corners of Duke's mouth kept up.

Following the combination of the 3-ring Arcane-Yuan Armor, Duke stacked a thick layer of armor to continuously increase his sense of security.

After encountering the Sinking Demon Miguir, his sense of security has always been lacking, and now he has been promoted one after another, and he has finally made up for it a lot.

"Retreat."

The mind communicates with Xiao Dou, and in the next second, the spiked armor flows into the ground like a stream of water, and then condenses into the shape of Xiao Dou.

"Roar." Little Pocket wagged his tail in a trembling manner.

Dukla rang the ropes in the treehouse, and the bell rang outside, and two oak maidens like thin bamboo poles walked in.

"Lord Kami." The Oak Maiden said to the stumbling Taven, "Please command." ”

"Go get some barbecue."

"As you wish, Lady God."

The oak girl soon brought the barbecue, and Duke himself was not hungry, but rewarded Xiaodou and promoted to a 2-ring phantom beast, which really emptied Xiaodou's energy.

So when he saw the barbecue, Xiaodou buried his head and began to eat wildly.

"Eat, eat, eat, now that you are a 2-ring phantom beast, when "Duke Flying Feather" and "Duke Leap" are promoted, the increase in fighting spirit will continue to come. At that time, with the help of the increase in Douqi, you will strive to be promoted to a 3-ring high-level phantom beast. ”

"Roar." Xiaodou raised his head and snorted, and continued to bury his head in tearing the meat strips.

……

Half a month later, it was already the end of April.

Duke handed a notebook full of animal skins to the high priest of Abu Abu: "Here is the knowledge that I have recorded, and the Asiba tribe can use, you can take it and learn it, and then give it to the tribesmen." ”

"Ah, Lord God, you are really, too much, too ......," Abu Abu said excitedly.

"There is no other, just take what you need."

Not to mention that he abducted the Oak Spirit from the Aciba tribe, and also got the opportunity of the Flying Snake Rock to help Xiao Du successfully evolve the phantom beast, which is the continuation of the power between the ancestor of the oak tree and the oak people, and it is also a discovery of great spiritual arcane academic value.

It can be said that there are too many benefits from the Asiba tribe.

Sending Abu Abu away, Duke did not continue to be stuffed in the thermostatic treehouse, but prepared to go out and find other tribes that might exist.

The oaks of the Aciba tribe also migrated from other places at the earliest, and eventually became oaks by relying on the ancestors of oak trees.

Duke believed that these oaks should have been some kind of widespread native.

It is better to replace these natives with Treants, and if they rely on the Ancestor of the Oak Tree to gain power, they will evolve into an Oak Species, and if they rely on other Tree Kings to gain power, they may evolve into other Treant Species.

"Finding more samples may be of great significance to me in cracking the power of the spirit plant." He changed into a freshly cut set of arcane robes.

Living alone in a primitive tribe, Duke reverted to his do-it-yourself state of being well-fed.

He also designed and cut the arcane robes himself, using the bark fibers of a flax plant commonly found in the rainforest.

It's tough, it's breathable, and it's comfortable to wear.

"Gone."

Without saying goodbye or seeing them off, Duke quietly left the Aciba tribe in a misty morning.

Head in the selected north direction.

Day after day, there was an early warning of Xiaoyi's hanging breathing method, and he was moving forward in the jungle with ease. When you are tired, you will perch on a tree, dig out a tree hole to live, and when you are hungry, you can hunt a little beast or pick some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger.

Every four days, he enters the dream of the stars, and continues to light up the endless stars in search of the direction of home.

I thought that this road would be bumpy and I walked for a long time.

However, on the twelfth day after he left the Asiba tribe, he inspired the imprint of the stars to enter the starry sky and quickly light up the stars.

Suddenly discovered.

The Tree King who incarnated himself is a little different.

It is a cedar tree, at least three or four hundred meters high, but its upper part is free-growing, and the needles greedily absorb the sun and rain.

However, the lower part of it became the pillar of a palace, or rather, the palace was built around a cedar tree.

"Human!" Duke almost screamed in surprise.

There is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and I originally thought that I didn't know how many stars to light in order to return to human society.

As a result, now, we have seen the tree king developed by humans.

"Don't be in a hurry, calm and calm, let's see where this is first." Duke can't see his surroundings in their entirety through the fir tree's vision, but he can have a rough sense of fuzziness.

It seems to be on a snowy field, surrounded by palaces, and there seem to be many humans patrolling the palace, and there is a place where there seem to be many spirit beasts in captivity.

"Hmm." Duke pondered, "Cities on the Snowfield...... Most likely, the Great Duchy of Broken Ice and the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, if it were these two countries, it would be fine. ”

The Ice and Snow Kingdom and the Seven Towers Federation are across the sea, across a small inland sea.

The Grand Duchy of Broken Ice is adjacent to the Federation of the Seven Towers.

Both countries have friendly and close ties with the Federation of the Seven Towers, and send teams to each other every year for exchange and study.

"But it doesn't have to be these two countries, the environment of the Barren Continent is complex, and even the Seven Towers Federation has many cities, which are located on plateaus and snow-capped mountains, and are shrouded in snow all year round...... But it's not always a country like the Rainstorm Empire or the Golden Empire. ”

The Tempest Empire is located in the southern rainforest, and the Golden Empire is located in a vast desert, and there are basically no snowy cities.

"No matter what, if I can go back to human society, I will definitely go back!"

Duke took a deep breath and decisively chose to descend on this cedar tree king as the place of his arrival.

He touched his stomach and chest, the chick and the acorn spirit were resting in the sea of qi, and as for Xiao Dou, after being promoted to the 2-ring phantom beast, he successfully transformed into Duke's blood sea to cultivateβ€”this is one of the basic abilities of the phantom beast.

"Let's go home!"

No matter which country it is, as a 3-ring arcane mage, even if you can't be a VIP, you can get a little help and return to the Seven Towers Federation.

The feeling of the world spinning came over him, and when he waited for the scene in his field of vision to calm down, he was already standing on one of the branches of the tree king.

And this branch is located in mid-air at a height of 200 meters.

"Do I leave incognito now, or do I ......" Duke was struggling with whether he should take the initiative to expose himself, and the next moment he was relieved.

Xiao Yi quickly resonated with the cedar tree king, and then, he sensed that the guards of the entire palace were rushing here, obviously, Duke's appearance triggered some kind of warning, that is, he had been discovered.

Jumping and about to land, he cast 1 Ring Arcane-Wind, and landed steadily in the encirclement of a group of knights wearing silver and white armor.

"I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances." Duke didn't panic, instead smiled, "But it feels good to see humans again." ”

In fact, he had only been away from human society for two months, but he always felt like he hadn't seen a human for a long time.

Oaks aren't really human.

"You...... What...... Seven Towers Federation? The commander of the knights, stepping forward, stared at Duke.

His words Duke was somewhat inaudible, only a few syllables could be heard.

"The contemptible man is none other than Duke the Erudite Sage of the Seven Towers Federation, please take me to meet the master of your land." Duke bowed slightly, performing an arcane mage etiquette.

The knight commander turned around and said a few words to the knights, and then he walked over, the knight's sword in hand, and drove Duke to follow him.

The words seemed to be similar to Tavin's, but it was really unclear what he was saying.

Duke nodded indifferently, followed behind the knight commander, and walked outside the palace. Along the way, he looked at the palace curiously, and did not find the familiar Tawen Lingfa characters, but another horizontal and vertical symbolic text.

"Hmm, it's supposed to be the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice." Duke knew in his heart that he had seen this kind of writing in Offata, called Ice Script.

It is the official language of the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice.

Speaking of which, Bingwen was born from Tawen, and in order to cut off from the Storm Empire, the Seven Towers Federation changed the language and established the Taven Lingfa character system.

The Great Duchy of Broken Ice is too close to the Seven Towers Federation, and the country is very small, so in order to prevent it from being assimilated by the Seven Towers Federation, part of the pronunciation of the Tawen was retained, but the ice symbol was used instead of the Lingfa character, forming the current Bingwen language system.

"Xiaoyi, learn Bingwen materials and try to translate them for me." Duke commanded in his heart.

Previously, he copied a lot of language materials in the Orfa Tower, and he was ready to take them out to study when he had spare time, and now it comes in handy.

"Learning...... Study completed. "In just a few minutes away, Xiaoyi has already learned the language of Bingwen.

So Duke blurted out, "Sorry to ask, are you here in the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice?" ”

The knight commander turned his head, glanced at Duke in surprise, and then said viciously, "You actually know how to write ice!" Say, what kind of person are you, what ulterior motives are there to infiltrate the snowshirt palace of our Great Duchy of Broken Ice! ”

"Mistakenly, not invasively." Duke corrected, "I was experimenting with a new arcane and accidentally teleported here. ”

Duke chose to hide the Dream of the Stars, which is his biggest hole card at the moment.

Encountering the sneak attack of the Sinking Demon Miguil made him realize that even the arcane masters of the Seven Towers Federation were not worth trusting.

The delay in the appearance of Serthas is the best proof of this.

"A new arcane?" The Knight Commander seemed to be thinking about something, "Who the hell are you, the arcane mage of the Seven Towers Federation?" ”

"I'll introduce myself again." Duke straightened the collar of the arcane robe, "The contemptible man is Duke, the learned sage of the Seven Towers Federation and the card-making sage, who is also a scholar of the 3rd Ring Arcane, who is conducting an experiment and accidentally strayed into your land. ”

"Erudite sage? Card-making sage? The knight commander was taken aback, "You're so young...... Hmm, the arcane mage doesn't look like he is old...... No, no, no, no, what did you just say, you said you are...... Duke, the Lord Duke of the Federation of the Seven Towers? ”

Duke furrowed his eyebrows.

It turns out that his reputation has spread to neighboring countries.

Then he smiled: "Yes, it's down." ”

The knight commander quickly withdrew the knight's sword, and then solemnly gave Duke a knightly salute: "Greetings to Lord Duke of Ice, Chandler Crossbow, Chief of the Guardian Knight of the Snowshirt Palace of the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice!" ”
