Chapter 251: Landing on the Island, Fighting the Flame Demon
"Come and see."
After the merchants of the Blood Whale Tribe left, Andre walked over to the long table, picked up a black box from the table, and shook it towards Qi Lin.
Qi Lin and Catherine then stepped forward together.
AndrΓ© put the black box back on the table and opened the lid.
I saw that the box contained some blood-red strange flowers, and the petals had yellow flame patterns on the surface.
"This is the ...... of the spark of blood"
Qi Lin carefully picked up a flower, then closed his eyes, carefully sensing the fluctuations of thoughts emanating from this blood spark.
Plants are also alive.
So, of course, plants also emit thought fluctuations, but the thought fluctuations emitted by plants are weaker than those of animals.
"Well, that's good."
More than ten seconds later, Qi Lin opened his eyes, put the blood spark in his hand back into the box, then looked at Andre in front of him, and said with a smile: "So, when will we leave to go to Blood Fire Island to pick flowers?" Tomorrow? β
"No, right now."
Andre closed the box and said in a deep voice: "The longer it drags on, the more people in the tribe will die of epilepsy, so I hope to set off immediately and go to the island overnight to pick flowers, and strive to collect the blood sparks before sunrise tomorrow."
Another point is that the fire demons on the Blood Fire Island will become more powerful in the daytime sunlight, and will be weakened in the night when there is no sunlight, which is why it will be safer to go to the island at night to pick flowers. β
"Okay." Qi Lin nodded, "Then let's go now." β
"I'm going to be with you, too."
Catherine stood next to her and said to Andrei seriously: "I am the guardian knight of the master, I will go wherever he goes, and I must not be separated!" β
The language she uses is the aboriginal language of the Hanhai Realm.
When Qi Lin learned this otherworldly language on the Beast Hunter before, Irena and Catherine both learned it together, so Catherine naturally knew this foreign language as well, and she spoke it very standardly.
"But the number of places in the picking team is limited."
Hearing this, Andre frowned slightly, pointed to the box on the table and said, "Now, we only have these 30 blood sparks on hand, and these 30 blood sparks will be evenly distributed among the 10 picking team members."
Among the 10 pickers, Qi Lin was responsible for finding the Blood Spark and providing us with location information.
Therefore, there are only 9 people left who can be used to fight against the Fire Demon...... If you want to join the picking team, then I need you to fight the fire demon with us, otherwise I won't be able to give you my share of the 3 Blood Sparks. β
"Master?"
Catherine looked at Qi Lin.
"Of course she'll fight." Qi Lin said to Andre, "And her strength, you can rest assured, in Dead Kirishima before, before you came, we encountered a black skeleton, and in the end, she killed it completely...... Oh yes, I don't think I told you about it yet? β
Speaking of this, Qi Lin took Catherine's little hand, "Her name is Catherine, and she is my guardian knight and my lover. β
"Uh-huh!"
When Catherine heard this, her eyes were smiling and her heart was very happy.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Andre couldn't help but look at the blonde succubus a few more times, "Can you kill a black skeleton...... Well, this strength, even if it is placed in our Blood Raven Tribe, it belongs to the elite warriors of the first echelon, very good, you are welcome to join! β
"I'll protect my master first, and then I'll work with you in the fight against the Firefiend." Catherine said.
"Of course." Andre smiled, "Actually, it's not just you, after landing on the island, all the picking team members, including me, have to give priority to protecting Qi Lin, and then fight against the fire demon and picking flowers, after all, without him, our harvest of picking flowers this time will be no guarantee." β
"Then let's go as soon as possible!" Qi Lin said in a deep voice.
"Let's go!"
AndrΓ© picked up the box containing 30 blood sparks and strode towards the outside of the lord's longhouse.
Qi Lin and Catherine followed.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
A few minutes later, the picking team was assembled.
The 10 picking team members, including Andre, Qi Lin, Irena and Catherine, collectively came to the dock on the south coast of Blood Raven Island, boarded a black warship with the Blood Raven flag, and then faced the night and moonlight, walked at high speed on the sea, and sailed straight to the distant Blood and Fire Island.
Yes, Irena is here too.
When leaving the Blood Raven Walled City, this little succubus was holding a string of roasted tentacles in his left hand and a skewer of roasted sea beast meat in his right hand, and he didn't have time to wipe off the grease stains on his mouth, so he rushed over, saying that he was going to follow Qi Lin to Blood Fire Island.
Qi Lin was helpless, so he had to look at Andre.
And Andre didn't refuse, but just asked Irena to help when she encountered the fire demon, just like Catherine, and then temporarily dismissed a picker and left the other party's share of the blood spark to Irina.
In this way, the 10-member team was formed and sailed to the Isle of Blood and Fire......
"This world is littered with traces of hellish demons."
On the deck of the Blood Raven Warship, Catherine sat on a bench with Qi Lin's left arm, resting her head lightly on his shoulder, looking at the two purple full moons hanging high in the night sky, "Including this group of half-demon islanders with blood demon blood, including the demon soldiers on Demon Soldier Island, and the fire demon on Blood Fire Island. β
"Uh-huh, isn't that good? I feel like I'm back home. β
Irena stood beside her, leaning against the deck railing, holding a string of roasted tentacles, eating deliciously.
"Of course it's not good."
Catherine shook her head lightly and sighed: "This shows that the original Blood Demon Legion left too many traces of looting when it invaded this other world, and history will not forget this."
The most important thing is that the vast majority of the natives of the other world do not understand the racial difference between blood demons and succubi.
They will only think that the blood demon is a demon from hell, and the succubus is also a demon from hell, so the blood demon and the succubus are both the same thing, both are intruders, and they both deserve to die.
We are not inland now, but in this demonic sea, which is dominated by half-demon islanders, everyone is a little 'demon', so we haven't suffered too much discrimination and targeting, but once we get inland, I am worried that those people from the Holy Light Sect may have some kind of means to detect demonic aura, which will make it difficult for us to move an inch inland......"
Speaking of this, Catherine's eyes were very solemn.
Qi Lin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
As for Irena, she is still eating skewers without heart......
Catherine's concern was actually correct.
Because Qi Lin remembered that when Tang Haoyuan explained the information to them before, he mentioned something similar.
- Demon Crystal.
It is said that in the major towns on the inland side, at the location of the city gate, a demon crystal will be placed to detect the demon's breath, once a half-demon approaches, this crystal will shine and chirp, and then the soldiers defending the city will rush up, detain it, and send it to the Holy See to be burned to death.
Yes, burn to death.
By now, the Holy See and most of the people in the interior have reached their peak of disgust with the half-demon islanders, and once they are caught, they will be burned to death, and there is no other end.
But Tang Haoyuan didn't know the basic principle of this demon detection crystal.
Because in the intelligence materials provided to the training camp by the Wasteland Development Bureau, there is not too much detailed information about this...... When Tang Haoyuan talked about this, he couldn't help but complain that the wasteland development of Hanhai City was a group of people who could only eat and not work.
In short, Qi Lin needs to figure out the principle of this demon identification crystal.
This demon detection crystal, if it is through the blood breath of the blood demon clan to detect the half-demon islanders, then Irena and Catherine will be fine.
Because although they are demons, they are succubi, not blood demons, and there is no blood demon in their bodies at all.
But if this demonic crystal is indiscriminately tested through the breath of hell, then Irene and Catherine will be fine.
Because they are both natives of the hellish race, they both have a unique hellish aura on their bodies.
However, no matter what kind of detection principle, Qi Lin must have something to do.
Because he has both the blood of the Blood Demon Clan and the breath of the Hell Race in his body.
The bloodline of the Blood Demon Clan came from the first half-blood demon he devoured, and he inherited the power of the Blood Demon from the other party, and naturally inherited the bloodline of the Blood Demon Clan.
Not to mention the aura of the hell race, he has devoured a full three-headed demon by now, and he has already carried an extremely strong hellish aura on his body, which is not much better than the pure-blooded demon born and raised in hell.
Therefore, it is conceivable that if Qi Lin went to an inland town, as soon as he approached the city gate, the Demon Identification Crystal would begin to glow and chirp, beeping and attracting a large group of papal knights to try to tie him to the stake and burn him......
Tsk, it's miserable to think about.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Two hours later.
A dark red island on the sea appeared in the sight of Qi Lin and the others.
I saw that the island was full of dark red strange rocks, and the trees that grew were even more peculiar, they were scorched black bark, thick dead trees without branches and leaves, and most of the other plants were emitting a little red light in the night, which was very eye-catching.
Glowing plants.
One of the major characteristics of the Hanhai Realm seems to be these plants that can emit light, not only on this Blood Fire Island, but also on the Blood Raven Island, there are also a large number of luminous plants.
"What an active fire elemental."
On the deck of the Blood Raven Warship, Irena leaned on the railing, looked at the Blood and Fire Island in front of her, stretched out her hand and touched the air, and said with a complicated look in her eyes: "We haven't landed on the island yet, it's just that the sea near the island is full of such an active fire element...... Well, there must be a lot of fire demons on the island, and it's hard to deal with. β
"Indeed."
Andre walked over, looked at the Blood and Fire Island in front of him, and said helplessly: "If it weren't for the blood sparks for the clansmen, I really wouldn't want to come to this ghost place for the rest of my life, in my heart, the most dangerous thing in the Demon Sea is not the storm and sea beasts, nor the Death Fog Island, but this Blood Fire Island that will cause epilepsy and there are still a large number of fire demons." β
"Alright, Andre, let's get ready to land on the island!"
At this time, a white-haired man with a sturdy upper body walked over, carrying a huge battle axe taller than others on his shoulder, and grinned, "Lao Tzu's big axe, I am hungry and thirsty!" β
"Hah!"
When the rest of the white-haired warriors on the deck heard this man's words, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, don't mess around, you kid, our mission to the island is to find the blood spark, not to cut the fire demon."
"It's just, if you can, it's best that not a single fire demon can touch it."
"Do you want to eat fart? When did we land on the island, didn't we kill all the way and back all the way? β
"Instead of hoping that a single fire demon won't be touched, it's better to hope that there will be fewer fire demons, which is more realistic."
"With Mr. Qi Lin here this time, we can find a lot of blood sparks!"
"Yes!"
"This time it's all counting on Mr. Qi Lin!"
ββ¦β¦β
The white-haired warriors on the deck all turned their heads to look at Qi Lin when they said this, their red eyes full of respect.
Respectful gaze.
It's a rare experience for Alignment.
However, since he helped the epileptic on the watchtower suppress the epilepsy attack this morning, he has been able to get the respectful gaze of the Blood Raven people wherever he goes in the walled city this day.
How so?
Of course it's great!
Qi Lin likes this feeling, he enjoys the respect of others, and he hopes that this respect is well deserved.
So work hard, try to help the Blood Raven Tribe find more blood sparks, gain the respect of more Blood Raven people, and of course, the most important thing is ...... The trust of the Blood Raven Witch!
The reason why Qi Lin agreed to help Andre land on the island to find flowers was of course to repay Da Wu Zhu and Andre for saving their lives, but on the other hand, he also hoped that through tonight's actions, he could really gain the trust of that Da Wu Zhu.
Take it easy.
Although trapped in the Atlas, at least for now, things are going for the better.
"Prepare to land!"
At this time, Andrei walked to the forefront of the warship and shouted loudly.
"Roar!"
"Roar!!"
"Roar!"
As the lord of the Blood Raven Tribe gave the order, several Blood Raven warriors on the deck also took off their animal skin armor and directly turned into a blood-colored demon with wings on his back and horns on his head!
The bodies of these Blood Demon Warriors all exuded a fourth-order magical aura, and their bodies were even stronger and taller, all of them were more than four meters long.
In the past, these people basically held two-handed giant axes and two-handed giant swords that were larger than themselves, but now after transformation, the weapons in their hands are a little smaller, and they have all become one-handed weapons...... Oh, it does.
As a hybrid of blood demons and humans, the islanders of the Demon Sea are born with excellent physical and magical talents, so basically everyone on the islands is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts.
Because of this, of course, they have to use one-handed weapons, so that it is convenient to hold weapons in one hand and cast spells in the other.
"Anchor!"
AndrΓ© transformed into Bloodfiend form one last time, then turned his head and let out a roar at the rest of the Bloodfiend warriors.
"Yes!"
A Bloodfiend warrior turned around and walked to the stern of the ship to anchor.
They are still some distance from the shore of Bloodfire Island, but the warship should not get too close to the Bloodfire Island to avoid being destroyed by the fire demons on the shore, so the warship should stop here.
The next way, you have to fly over.
"Teng!"
The wings on Andrei's back flapped slightly, and then the whole person was levitated, his feet off the ground.
He turned around and looked at Qi Lin, "What do you say?" Shall I carry you over? β
"No, I don't."
Before Qi Lin could respond, Irena next to her waved her hand, and then snapped her fingers, condensing a hurricane air flow at the feet of herself, Qi Lin, and Catherine, and directly supporting the three of them into the air.
"Levitation!"
The little succubus looked at Qi Lin and said with a smile: "It's the little magic I learned in the inheritance dream last time, we don't seem to have flown like this yet, right?" Try it. β
"Hmm."
Qi Lin nodded, and then said to Andre: "That's it, let's go." β
"Let's go!"
Andre didn't say anything more, his back wings flapped violently, and he flew straight to the Blood and Fire Island in front of him with everyone.
Along the way, Qi Lin also took out Irena's robe, staff, and spellbook three-piece set from the space necklace around his neck to equip her, as well as a silver-white sword from Catherine.
Previously, when she was on Dead Kiri Island, Catherine entered the true demon in the state of wearing armor, and burst the armor on the spot, turning it into shards all over the ground, and the shield was also smashed full of pits by the opponent when fighting against the first black skeleton, and it was basically scrapped.
Afterwards, Qi Lin did not pick up the armor fragments and broken shields, but only took Catherine's saber away.
So at this time, Catherine only had one sword left to use.
But in fact, now, she doesn't actually need any fourth-order armor and shields, and even a sword is not necessary, when she encounters a strong enemy, she can directly open the true demonic form, and her skin will be harder and more defensive than the fourth-order armor.
As for consumption, don't worry too much.
Because the true demonization form is actually "divided".
After Catherine woke up today, Qi Lin also talked to her about true demonization, and Catherine mentioned halfway that she could actually control the degree of true demonization.
Catherine's current true demonic form is divided into three levels.
In the first gear, the body size has become slightly larger, the skin has grown hard purple scales, wings have grown on the back, and the arms and tail have become bladed structures, which is the most basic true demonic form.
In the second gear, a pair of bladed arms grows and becomes a four-armed demon.
In the third gear, a pair of bladed arms will grow, completely transforming into a six-armed demon, which is also her ultimate true demon form so far...... It's just that for now, if there is still an opportunity in the future, she may be able to open a more powerful True Demon Form.
The point is that only the final form of the third gear will cause the consequence of overconsumption.
For Catherine, the first level of the primary true demon form can be used as a regular combat form, and the consumption level is not large, and it can even be opened multiple times in a day.
"Land!"
Soon, Andre took Qi Lin and the others to officially arrive at Blood Fire Island.
Several Blood Demon warriors, including Andre, flapped their wings and descended from the sky, taking the lead in landing on a dark red rock and soil in the outermost part of Blood Fire Island.
As for Qi Lin, Irena, and Catherine, they were surrounded by the breeze and slowly descended after them.
"Whew!"
After landing on the ground, Irena waved her hand lightly, dissipating the breeze from the three of them.
"Array!"
Andrei let out a deep sigh.
The rest of the Blood Demon Warriors immediately set up a formation and firmly protected Qi Lin in the middle, forming a momentum of arch defense.
"Let's get started."
Andre stood on the outermost edge of the array, and said to Qi Lin inside: "You just have to cast spells to find blood sparks with peace of mind, and I and others will be responsible for protecting you, no matter how many fire demons appear, you don't have to deal with it, just concentrate on casting spells and looking for flowers!" β
"Understood."
Qi Lin nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, placed them at the center of his eyebrows, and began to perform the "Flower Hunting Technique".
"Buzz!"
Soon, his eyebrows shone with a golden glow.
An invisible ripple ripple emanated from the center of his eyebrows, spreading outward, spreading, and spreading again.
"Huh?"
Just a few seconds later, Qi Lin sensed a fluctuation of thoughts not far away.
The volatility is faint, but familiar.
It's a blood spark's thoughts swinging!
"Found one!"
Qi Lin opened his eyes and looked at Andre with a smile, "It's ......"
"Teng!"
Before he finished speaking, in the black dead wood forest not far away, a flame suddenly rose!
Qi Lin hurriedly looked.
I saw that in the crimson flames, a beast-shaped silhouette three or four meters high could be faintly seen.
Is it the Fire Demon?!
"Roar!!"
Andre didn't say half a word of nonsense, his wings behind him fanned violently, and the whole person turned into a blood-colored afterimage and burst away, taking the lead in launching an attack on the fire demon!
