Chapter 271: Flame Demon (1)
It's Christmas, I wish you all a happy holiday. It's cold, so it's good to stay warm with your girlfriend, hehe. )
At the entrance of the cave, there was a yīn cold wind with a bone-chilling coldness, and the smell of carrion was blowing out. Even if you just stood at the entrance of the cave, the smell was so strong that God knows how much rotten flesh it would take to produce such a smell. For some reason, this reminded Zero of thirty corpses that had disappeared.
They were at the edge of the cave entrance, and Ling said solemnly: "Ma Pei's ability is not suitable for use in a complex and narrow place like the crypt, so stay outside the cave." ”
Matthei had no objection to this arrangement. His main ability is the transformation of the Iron Rhinoceros, which is best suited for charging in open areas, but it is not his forte to fight small positions. Especially considering that there might be a fifth-order fire element ability hidden in the cave, Ma Pei rushed into it, and he might end up being roasted into fragrant meat. After listening to Zero, he nodded and agreed to the arrangement.
Zero Chaofeng and Su glanced at each other, and the latter understood, so the three of them went into the dark hole. In this mission, they didn't have the equipment to go into a crypt-like environment, as they hadn't considered entering a crypt-like environment. Examples include tactical helmets, oxygen cylinders, and searchlights, among others. Fortunately, the crypt is different from the underground base, which is pitch black without a light source, but there are glowing fungi in the crypt, these small things emit a faint light and dot the dark cave.
The cave is narrow in front and wide at the back, and when you first enter, it is only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. But the further you go inside, the wider the road surface becomes, and there are more and more luminescent fungi. They grow on mountain walls, next to stalagmites or directly on the ground. If it weren't for the smell of decay in the air, the cave occupied by glowing fungi would have been like a sea of light.
Zero had to sigh at the wonder of creation, in the whole Shijie crazy evolution, there is still this ancient fungus that exists and maintains the original genetic pattern. Just as the three of them were immersed in this strange sea of light, a half-bird-like corpse suddenly appeared in the eyes of the three of them. The corpse was half-lying next to a stalagmite, and the flesh on the left half of the corpse had disappeared, revealing bones that were still stained with broken flesh. Beneath the corpse, the dark blue sè blood stained the ground with a sè spot, on which there were still intestines and internal organs that were different from those of humans.
"What a picky eater, eating half of the food casually, it's too uneducated. Kaede muttered to himself as he took out his Tang knife to stir up the corpse.
Tang Dao pointed at the corpse's shoulder bone, and with a slight external force, the already unbalanced corpse immediately fell to the ground, revealing half of its back. The back of the half-birdman was jet black, and the vertebrae under the flesh were also charred to varying degrees, and it was obvious that the Aaron man was directly scorched to death by the high heat energy that invaded the body from the back, and most of its bones, nerves, and organs were directly scorched.
Just looking at this broken corpse, whether it was a corpse-eating elemental domain ability or a beast with cāo fire control power, Zero couldn't find a suitable target. He shook his head and gestured to keep going, and the three of them walked over the corpse and into the heart of the crypt.
Gradually, more and more branches appeared in the crypt, presenting a complex landscape. Fortunately, the three of them were equipped with sonar grenades, and the sound waves released by this special grenade can depict a complex topographic map of nearly a kilometer, which is conducive to identifying the direction of progress in the current environment. However, Zero relied on bloodstains, pieces of flesh, and mutilated corpses left along the way.
The unidentified thing dragged the Aaronic corpse into the depths of this complex crypt as if some wild beast were stockpiling food for themselves through the winter. However, in this western permafrost, Asgard's data has no record of fire-controlling mutant beasts. In fact, the habits and abilities of mutant beasts have a lot to do with the environment in which they live.
The Tundra Plateau can produce ice and snow wolves like Fenri wolves, but it can't breed exotic beasts like fire-breathing lizards. Although many things in the new era can no longer be tested by common sense, the most basic rules are still there.
Navigating the complex underground was not a pleasant task, especially with the scraps of flesh along the way, and the occasional Aaronic corpse or two, making the trip anything but a sightseeing tour of the underground caverns. On the contrary, the deeper you go, the more you feel like you're going to hell.
The journey finally came to an end after three thousand meters deep into the crypt, and when I walked out of the complicated side passage, I saw a relatively spacious and flat ground in the eyes of everyone. It's just that the sense of space here is very narrow, and the lichen on the top of the head is only less than five meters high from the ground, making the whole space flat, and an uncomfortable spatial shape makes a few people feel depressed.
What is rare is that there is a ground lake hundreds of meters wide in the middle of the ground. The water in the lake is very pure, the bottom of the lake is covered with glowing fungi, and the hazy light penetrates through the lake, making the whole lake sparkle like a brilliant jewel.
Undoubtedly, the scenery of the lake is beautiful. But the picture on the other side of the lake is far from beautiful, and even disgusting. At least twenty or so corpses were piled up in a heap, forming a mountain of corpses that was not too high. These were the corpses of the Aarons, and they were now stored haphazardly like dried meat next to the lake for easy consumption at any time.
Near the mountain of corpses, a figure crouched on one of the corpses. The maddening sound of chewing continued to sound, and it was enlarged several times in the special environment of the crypt, burrowing into the ears of Zero Three from all directions. What's even more unbelievable is that this figure is actually wearing a dark red leather robe, and it looks like the murderer who has wiped out the entire Aaronic village.
It's just that a few people didn't expect that this capable person would have a penchant for eating corpses. Although there are many people with eccentricities among those who are able, they are probably the only ones who feed on corpses. And the footsteps of the Zero people when they came obviously also alarmed the capable person who was enjoying the corpse meal, and he jumped up and quickly spun his body to face the Zero people.
Zero suddenly shuddered, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he lost his voice and called out a person's name: "Sauron?"
That's right! Even though this man's face was covered with dark blue blood, and even though his eyes were completely black, there were circles of red wheels all over the place. But none of this prevents Zero from recognizing him. Soren, the former heir to the throne of the Parkland chaebol, the man who was entangled with Zero but Zuihou died at Zero's hands, is now present on the frozen plateau behind Asgard.
"What's wrong, Zero. Is this your friend?" said Kaede.
Zero shook his head and said, "I don't have any friends like ghouls......"
"You two don't talk nonsense, people don't look very pleasant!" Su reminded, her hands clenched her heavy sword and a posture ready to attack.
On the other side, Sylon, who looked like a ghoul, roared. He let out a beast-like roar, his mouth opening to the limit, revealing sharp teeth from his lips.
Sauron, who had been transformed into a Discord, was once very close to zero under instinct. However, the aura of Valkyrie's battle with the other two capable men frightened Sauron back, and after that, the huge aura generated by the Shield of Dawn and the large number of alien creatures escaping from the Cossack base made Sauron flee far away.
Sauron has been wandering the wilderness since then, and instinctively, he has come to the frosty forest where the breath of life is thick, and he has discovered the Aarons. In the beginning, Sauron only hunted and killed the Aarons for food. But after eating the flesh and blood of the Aarons, Sauron fell in love with the food. It's just that Sauron didn't know that Aaron's heart and brain greatly increased the upper limit of his abilities, allowing him to gradually climb from the fourth order to the fifth order.
After that, of course, there was a massacre of villages. Aaron was slaughtered by Sauron, who used his bestial instincts to select the corpses of the strongest men in the tribe and drag them to this naturally formed crypt to be used as a stockpile. It's just that even Sauron didn't expect that his actions would lead to zero.
The moment he saw Zero, Sauron's instinctive command to prioritize killing Zero was activated. Immediately, the red light wheel in his eyes kept changing, and the air in the crypt continued to rise, which was due to the activation of the fire element of the space.
From the beginning of the red glow in the lake to the boiling of the entire lake in just two seconds. In the next moment, the earth lake erupted, spraying a high curtain of water, and at the same time, the water mist formed by the evaporation of the ground water by the high temperature was billowing out, making the entire crypt hot and humid, and reducing the visibility of everyone.
In this mist, an invisible wave suddenly swept out.
Zero's whole body tightened, and he felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Spread out!"
He yelled, and rolled forward. And Su and Feng also moved left and right at the same time, and the three of them flashed in the shape of the three of them, and there was a flash of red light under the surface of the ground where they were before, followed by a three-meter-wide pillar of fire that erupted. If it weren't for the three of them flashing fast, I'm afraid they would have to be burned into roast pigs by now.
Feng snorted coldly, leaned forward, exerted force on his toes, and suddenly pulled out a black line and submerged in the mist. Seeing him attack, he was afraid that he would lose, so he immediately rushed straight to where Sauron was in the mist. She deliberately let out her breath to attract Sauron's attention.
Zero also took down the invader who was fixed under the carrying gear with a pendant, and Sauron's strength was actually advanced to the fifth order, which surprised him. And he didn't understand that Sauron, who Weishenme had killed by himself, had come back to life. What made Zero even more unsettling was that Sauron's special eyes reminded him of Hans!
After the Invader is taken down by Zero, it immediately enters Charge Mode. Before reaching the equivalent of hair shè, Zero suddenly saw a flash of red light in the depths of the water mist, followed by a column of flowing flames, poked out of the water mist, and hit Su!
Su Chong's sword was raised flatly, and it was able to withstand the flame pillar. Immediately, the violent impact knocked her whole body into a flat flight. And Su's alloy heavy sword has become red in an instant.
When landing, rolling, and bounce again, the temperature of the heavy sword recedes slightly.
The pillar of flame that had struck her did not disappear, but instead slashed flat, sweeping like a flame to the left of the crypt. The mist was immediately dispelled by the pillar of flames, and in the firelight, the figure of the maple leaning forward was reflected.
Yan Zhu chased after Kaede's back, but he didn't seem to be aware of it. Su was just about to shout Wei jǐng, but he saw Feng suddenly flip forward, causing Yan Zhu Kankan to cross his back. Kaede bounced up again, and his speed increased again, and in an instant he was already in front of Sauron.
The Tang knife disappeared in Feng's hand, and in an instant, three sword lights fell towards Sauron.
Talon!
Sauron didn't laugh back, and suddenly a red spot flashed from under his feet, followed by another pillar of fire rising into the sky. In the firelight, Kaede's face changed. Tang Dao retracted his protection in front of him, and the whole person was knocked out by the impact of the sudden burst of fire.
This pillar of fire had a temperature of five hundred degrees, and Kaede didn't expect Sauron to put it at his feet. However, in the flames, Sauron did not burn a single hair, but instead the flames burned some of the stains on his body, making him look much cleaner.
Sauron smiled again, followed by a loud shout, and spread his hands to fall in the direction of Kaede to add a flaming blast. Suddenly, a turquoise light appeared in the corner of his eye.
He immediately looked in the direction of the light, only to see a cloud of turquoise energy bombs sweeping across the lake, setting off a puff of lake water behind him, and blasting towards him with a force of ten thousand equals.
Flame Blast, in turn, changed its target and landed on the energy projectile. Visible flame ripples appeared from the void, and then wrapped in layers of energy bullets. The speed of the energy bullet immediately decreased, and when it was still about ten meters away from Sauron, a flash of fire quietly appeared near the acid energy bullet sent by the invader.
The fire flashed and the explosion was immediate. The energy hedging of the local space of the fire element formed a violent explosion, which successfully detonated the acid energy bomb. The energy of the two different genera of xìng bloomed with two kinds of blazing light, red and white, and the light rose and contracted, and then formed a huge fireball that appeared in the sky above the earth lake! The shockwave of the explosion swept away, and Sauron, who was closest to the explosion point, was immediately knocked away, and Zero, who was the farthest away, was also blown out of breath by the strong wind carried by the shockwave.
The violent impact of the two energies also shook the rock wall above the crypt to appear terrifying cracks, and countless mud and sand continued to sprinkle down, like a rain of sand.
Kaede exclaimed ugly, "Zero, don't use that girl's weapon, unless you want to bury us all alive here!"
Wordlessly, he put away the Raider and took the Spear II Sniper Rifle instead. The magazine is already full of sniper shells, ready for zero shè shots at any time. On the other side, Kaede had already pounced on Sauron, shouting something "I have to rely on my own words in the end", and Kaede launched a storm combo at Sauron. This is a skill unique to fencers, and when activated, Kaede is as fast as the wind, and he circles around Sauron, and the Tang knife in his hand keeps attacking from various tricky angles. At the same time, the Tang knife comes with a layer of strange force field, which also belongs to the ability of the fencer, "Defense Disintegration", which can reduce the opponent's various defenses to a certain extent.
When Sauron approached, Sauron had already knowingly placed an elemental force field on his body. This is almost a kaleidoscope skill against ranged attacks and melee combat, providing some defensive shock absorption. But this layer of defense liliang is gradually reduced under Kaede's ability to target xìng, but Sauron replenishes his skills from time to time, but he always maintains an elemental stance that does not disintegrate.
As for Kaede's storm combo, Sauron didn't seem to take it to heart. He no longer belongs to the category of ordinary humans, and strictly speaking, Sauron is closer to a living corpse at the moment. Therefore, most of Feng's attacks, he had no defense at all, and let the Tang Dao with energy beckon him. Except for the more important parts of the head and chest, Sauron almost let Kaede beat violently.
However, his counterattack often makes Kaede cry bitterly. For Sauron, the first-order fireball was almost a matter of thought. And the fireball exploded at close range, enough to push Kaede away. So from time to time a fireball, occasionally under the attack of a pillar of fire, Kaede was repeatedly pushed away, and then pounced on the grappling action.
"Get out of the way!"
While Kaede was entangled in Sauron, Su had already bypassed the Earth Lake and approached. She's not fast, but she's mighty when she runs. The naked-eye energy ripples spread from Su's body to the space, and it seems that Su's strength has also improved since the Cosaxophone and his party. At least, she wouldn't be able to overflow her energy until then.
Now, the plain alloy epee was wrapped in layers of surging energy ripples. As she approached Sauron, Su stomped on the ground with both feet.
The ground immediately cracked, allowing Su Gao to leap high. The heavy sword was raised above his head, and he let out a loud shout, and the heavy sword wrapped in energy ripples unleashed a violent wind whistle and slashed head-on towards Sauron.
The common skills of the berserk warriors are reproduced, but they are just a sword, but they make people feel like they are falling like a mountain.
Under the pressure of the fierce wind, Feng's face changed slightly, and he retreated, he didn't want to be affected by the power of this slash.
As a target, Sauron was heavily pressed by the energy ripples, making it difficult for him to escape like Kaede. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Sauron let out a loud shout, and pushed his hands forward violently, but countless red lights roared and converged, instantly forming a red shield of light between the two. In the center of the light shield, a flame pattern appears, but it is the symbol of the flame shield.
The Elemental Force Field and the Elemental Shield are both common skills for those with Elemental Domain abilities. And according to the different elements that the ability person is good at, the power and effect of these two skills are also different. For example, the Indians who fought Valkyrie before used the Dark Shield to absorb energy. However, Su Lun's flame shield exerts a special xìng full of fire elements, which is purely an attack against an attack.
Su's heavy sword slashed at the elemental shield, and the shield shattered instantly. But at the same time as the shield disintegrated, the fire element in it released terrifying energy. Sensing the change, Su only had time to put his heavy sword in front of him and make a defensive gesture, and the explosion occurred.
With a bang, the high heat generated by the energy explosion rubbed through the air, creating a fireball. The shockwave of the fireball explosion shook Su upside down, and when Su hit the ground, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, obviously injured.
Flames spread over Sauron's head, and he let out a smug roar and threw himself at Su. But his footsteps moved, but he stopped in an instant, and followed his head sharply in the direction where Zero was. In that fangxiangshang, Sauron first saw Zero's face, and then was obscured by the firelight!
