Chapter Twenty-Five: The Source Core of Corruption

In the dimly lit forest, like an assassin, Lucius slowly approached the leader of the Corrupt Elves under the cover of darkness, and the little demons and corrupted orcs along the way did not notice him.

Finally, only a dozen paces away from the leader of the corrupted elves, Lucius stopped, carefully raised the magic gun in his hand that had been modified many times, removed the metal ball, and poured new magic elements into it again, while turning the body of the ball.

The surface of the metal ball changed from the outside to the inside, and finally on the surface of the ball, in addition to the original ice, fire, and thunder magic, a faint wind magic element also faintly appeared.

Reloading the ball on the gun, he picked up the slightly chunky magic gun and aimed it at the calmly commanding leader of the Corrupted Elves.

"Po" pulled the trigger, and the magic gun made a barely audible sound, and the bullets mixed with the four series of magic elements shot at the corrupted elf leader with great speed.

Seeing that the bullet was about to shoot into the head of the Corrupt Elf Leader, a thick fog suddenly rose from the Corrupt Elf Leader's body, blocking the extremely fast bullet that fused the four magical elements.

Seeing that the other party actually blocked the bullet, Lecius's pupils shrank suddenly, knowing that the other party was afraid that he had already discovered himself, he took two steps back without hesitation, and at the same time raised the magic energy gun in his hand and fired several shots in front of him.

In the darkness, Dao shadows emerged one by one, all of which were scattered by Yunhan's magic element bullets.

"Bang" Lucius fell to the ground, did not stop, and took advantage of the situation to roll to the side, just to avoid the cold rays of the shot, at the same time, he raised his gun and fired into the darkness.

"Huh?" A cry of surprise came from the darkness, and the leader of the corrupted elves, like a ghost, suddenly rushed out of the darkness, waved two daggers that emitted green light, and quickly approached Lucius, who had not yet risen.

"Choke, dangdangdang" Lucius felt that the crisis was imminent, and instead of forcibly getting up, he waved the magic energy gun in his hand to block the two daggers that stabbed him.

Through the sparkling of metal, Lucius finally saw the face of the leader of the corrupted elves, and he was shocked that the other party turned out to be a woman, with a pair of soft eyes revealing fortitude, but it looked so weak and pitiful.

When Lucius was distracted, the pressure on his arm was increasing, and the other party had almost no emotion, and he tried his best to kill him.

Lucius could only forcibly urge the metal ball, and suddenly the entire body of the magic energy gun diffused frost, and the frost quickly spread to the surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, even the dagger of the corrupt elf leader was frozen in ice.

Seeing the frost rapidly spreading towards his arm, the Corrupt Elf Leader's eyes revealed determination, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly abandoned the two daggers mounted on the magic energy gun.

Forcing back the leader of the corrupt elves, Lucius slowly stood up, shook his arm violently, shattered the frost on the gun, and at the same time shook off the two daggers, raised the gun to the leader of the corrupt elves, and said with a slow expression: "Who are you? Why are you blocking us?"

"Hmph......" The leader of the corrupted elves let out a cold snort, wanting not to avoid the muzzle of the gun, and his cold eyes looked at Lucius without hesitation, but he did not answer Lucius's question.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to reply, Lucius didn't hesitate any longer, pulled the trigger of the magic energy gun, and the four series of magic elements fused into bullets and came out, blocking the whole body of the corrupt elf leader almost instantly.

However, seeing that those bullets all did not enter the opponent's body, the body of the leader of the corrupted elves turned into black mist, and the next moment the black mist slashed to the side of Lucius, and the cold light flickered in the mist, and the leader of the corrupted elves chose to kill Lucius at an extremely awkward angle.

However, Lucius did not have any timidity, and did not seem to notice it at all, allowing the dagger of the leader of the corrupted elves to approach, and at the moment when he was about to stab himself, his left hand was raised, and a crossbow appeared in his hand.

Several frost arrows shot out from the crossbow, and the corrupt elf leader didn't have time to react at all, his body was hit by those ice arrows, and in an instant, the ice arrows exploded, and the biting cold wind blew through and sealed the corrupt elf leader.

Freezing the leader of the corrupted elves, Lucius did not relax, and immediately stepped forward, wanting to smash the frozen leader of the corrupt elves, so that he could never suffer in the future.

However, the leader of the corrupted elves was strong, and he did not give Lucius a chance to get closer, and the black mist in his body spread out again, and he forcibly broke the ice seal from the inside, and at the same time, he grabbed two ice blades and stabbed at Lucius.

Lucius didn't expect that the opponent's strength would be so strong that he could directly shatter the ice arrows shot by his mechanical crossbow, which were enough to be comparable to the ice arrows of a mid-level ice mage.

However, he couldn't think too much, the leader of the corrupted elves was approaching, so he could only stop and retreat sharply, and at the same time raised the magic gun in his hand again, quickly pulled the trigger and shot a magic bullet, trying to force the leader of the corrupted elves back.

"Bang bang" The two figures staggered, Lucius supported his body with a magic energy gun, and the two ice blades pierced into his shoulders, the blood just gushed out but was frozen by the cold air of the ice blades.

The leader of the corrupted elves was even more unbearable, and after stumbling with Lucius, he directly crashed into a big tree not far away, and his body wrapped in black gas was covered with wounds, and red blood continued to flow out.

"Huhuhuhu" Lucius gasped, resisted the pain in his shoulder, straightened up, raised the gun in his hand, and pointed it at the corrupt elf leader, "It looks like you've been defeated after all." ”

With a bang, Lucius pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the muzzle of the gun shot out four series of magic bullets, almost instantly beating the corrupt elf leader into a sieve.

The leader of the corrupt elves turned her head to glance at Lucius, and her body quickly dissipated into black smoke, but she still had an eerie smile on her face.

"Wow, wow, goo, goo" The team besieging Du Liniang and Qi Li'er over there seemed to soon find that the leader was dead, and in a burst of shouts, they abandoned Du Liniang and Qi Li'er, retreated into the darkness like a tide and disappeared.

Leaning against the dark trunk of the tree behind his back, Lucius slowly fell to the ground, the ice blade on his shoulder had melted, and the wound had solidified under the cold air of the ice blade, and his tense nerves were temporarily relaxed after the fierce battle.

Suddenly, where the leader of the corrupted elves disappeared, a ghostly light flickered slightly, which quickly attracted the attention of Lucius, who stood up and walked over with his body supported, and saw that the ghostly light was emitted by a black crystal.

Reaching out to pick up the black crystal, but as soon as his fingers touched it, the crystal turned into a black glow and drilled directly into Lucius's body.

But before Lucius could react, the black crystal fell from his body again, reached out and picked up the fallen black crystal, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.

I could clearly feel that there was a powerful power exuding from the black crystal, and that power was very similar, the power released by the corrupt elf leader just now.

Vaguely, Lucius seemed to understand what the black crystal in his hand was, and muttered softly: "It seems that this should be the power source core of the corrupt elf leader just now, but I don't know, what power does this source core contain?"

"Ah...... It's great that you're okay, Lucius, I, I was so worried about you, thinking that you would meet with something wrong with you luring that corrupt leader away. ”

Qi Li'er exclaimed from behind him, and Lu Xius hurriedly put the black crystal into the leather bag on his waist, and turned to Qi Li'er and Du Liniang who ran and smiled: "Haha, who am I, how could I be defeated by that leader?"

"Hehe, yes, yes, Lucius, you're the best. Qi Lier praised with an innocent smile.

Du Liniang pursed her lips disdainfully: "Hmph, you kid is less smug, there is still a long way to go, so be careful in the future." ”

"Yes, yes. Qi Li'er also hurriedly echoed and said, "Auntie is right, although Lucius you are very strong, you still have to be careful, this forest is really dangerous." ”

Du Liniang didn't want to deal with Qi Li'er at all, but looked at Lucius and asked, "The corrupt leader just now seems to be an elf?"

Hearing this, Lucius nodded and said, "Yes, it's a night elf, I really didn't expect that even the night elves would be corrupted, it seems that there is something really wrong with the ruins." ”

Hearing Lucius confirm Du Liniang's guess, Qi Lier's smile suddenly froze, her expression fluctuated, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart?

Lucius didn't bother the other party, walked straight back to the camp, put away the tent, put the backpack back on his back and said, "Okay, this place doesn't look safe, let's move on, hoping to find a safer place to rest." ”

Seeing Lucius walking forward first, Du Liniang sighed and muttered: "Hey, I'm afraid that the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes, and if you want to find a safe place to rest, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

However, Du Liniang did not delay, and accelerated her pace to catch up with Lucius in front.

Qi Li'er stood in place, watching the backs of Lucius and Du Liniang in the distance, and finally couldn't help but mutter: "What happened? Could it be that the Sacred Domain was really corrupted? If that's the case, opening that thing in the Sacred Domain is afraid that it will bring disaster to the entire continent." ”

Just as Qi Li'er was whispering to herself, Lucius stopped in front of her and shouted, "Qi Li'er, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and keep up, those corrupt monsters will be killed at any time, and we can't stay." ”

"Hey, got it. Hearing Lucius's shout, Qi Lier quickly put away her thoughts, quickly caught up with Lucius and Du Liniang in front, and the three of them continued to walk in the direction of the ruins.

After the figures of the three disappeared into the darkness, and soon the black mist filled the fierce battle site just now, and the leader of the corrupt elves who had been killed by Lucius walked out of the black mist.

Watching the three of them leave the direction, she closed her eyes and carefully sensed the source core that was taken away by Lucius, and soon she was surprised to find that she completely felt that the source core was stored in Zài.

Frowning slightly, the Corrupt Elf Leader's face showed a puzzled expression, she watched as the Source Core merged into Lucius's body, but she was rejected for some reason, and now she completely lost the Source Core Perception.

This qiē was beyond the knowledge of the leader of the corrupted elves, and she couldn't help but be even more curious about Lucius in her heart.

As a breeze blew through the forest, the leader of the corrupted elves turned into black mist again, and with a gust of breeze, he quickly chased after the direction where the three of Lucius left.
