Chapter 32: Encounter
The sound of footsteps filled the ancient ruins, and the surging wind rustled the clothes closer and closer!
Not only the footsteps, but also the weather-beaten stone bricks rubbing, according to the height of the person who came, it opened up a way that could stand upright through the corridor, An Yao vaguely felt that all the ruins would obey him.
The bricks moved in a regular rhythm, and the appearance of the visitor gradually emerged, perhaps because the island had been isolated from the world for too long, and the man was still wearing an ancient tan robe, the hem of which was vertically below the soles of his feet, and the heavy scarf stained with dust and debris was lying quietly on his neck, and then there was an invisible face and a colorful turban.
He walked into the mural room and stopped, but the room was empty.
As early as when he tore the dragon pattern flower at the door, An Yao hid along the nearby gap, and at this moment she was curled up and barely observing his every move through the gap.
He looked around in the mural room, his clothes swaying with the change of his footsteps, and he found the soul power that was left behind, although faint, but with his strength, he could easily capture it.
Catching a certain glimmer of light that escaped into the ground, An Yao saw his face, the hideous appearance was attached to the position that should have been his face, and the super sense of the dragon pattern flower played a role, and she vaguely saw the raised edge of his face.
It's also a mask! That's right, the person in front of her and the hunters who hunted Wart Don are wearing masks! Although the pattern and size are different, such a coincidence has to make An Yao's doubts a little heavier, she straightened up and put her face on the gap, wanting to see it more thin.
However, the crevices are full of finely carved wood!
"Will there be wood here?" An Yao wondered in her heart, she frowned, and then ......
Excessive panic made her lose her balance, sat on the dirt, her heart roared like a drum, her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and her body instinctively curled back, maybe she was too hard, maybe the soil behind her was too fragile, An Yao planted it.
Almost at the same time, he came to the gap where An Yao had just hid, the clods of dirt were scattered on the mud, and the dirty and cramped space led him to disgust, and he didn't stay long.
An Yao, who was buried in the soil, heard the footsteps again, but this time the sound faded away, and it should have left.
An Yao, who pushed aside the soil, climbed out of the gap, and stood upright again, took a hard breath, rubbed her sore limbs, and slumped against the wall.
Masks, frescoes, ruins, this island is anything but simple.
After the man left, the passage of the ruins changed back to its original state, and after a slight adjustment, An Yao bent her knees, ready to leave here, and when she could not see the stairs at the end of the passage, a force that emerged from the ground alarmed her super sense.
A moment later, the stone bricks of the ruins began to collapse and shook violently, and an earthquake struck.
This ruin has been quietly here for hundreds of years, but it has changed impartially when he enters?An Yao thought to herself, this seems to be too much of a coincidence.
Although she had some worries in her heart, she did not stop at all, and quickly walked out of the corridor, jumped up the stairs and returned to the ground in three or two steps.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't come out, she just stepped on the grass and found out that the source of the change turned out to be... The whole ruins shook themselves, maybe a pair of eyes saw An Yao, the frequency of shaking became faster and faster, the outer layer of dark yellow old stone bricks was dusted down on the dripping ground, colliding with the dust that came to the face, and then revealing the white but moss-covered rocks inside, and then attached to each other, slowly standing upright, about An Yao's height more than twice as tall The gargoyle giant stood in front of him, and its target was An Yao.
Huge arms fell from the sky, although An Yao was exhausted, her strength in the academy gave her excellent reflexes, she first crouched down and then rolled forward and ran out of the giant's attack range.
But the giant's attacks were too frequent and the attack range was too large, and the successive dodges made the already weak An Yao's physical condition worse, and the stone giant whined and let out a low strange sound, swinging again and again to break the trees, which may not be intended but unintentional.
The giant began to move! Two thick stone pillars pulled out of the ground, this step did not matter, the old stone bricks scattered around were pushed away and mixed with dust, and countless bricks hit An Yao's body in the chaos, under the repeated attacks, An Yao's physical strength was broken.
Through the dust, An Yao raised her left hand, and the dragon pattern flower quickly grew under the giant's feet, and the vines restrained the giant's movement, temporarily attracting the giant's attention, and it was this fight that saved An Yao's life.
Because, in the grass beside him, a familiar person ran out, and with his breath came, a moon-breaking slash.
The slash completely hit the giant, and in an instant the sky was full of debris, and as the person who came stood firm, An Yao smiled slightly, the person who came was Ling Qu!
After reaching the twentieth level, Ling Qu's appearance also changed slightly, the muscles on his body were more obvious, the sense of strength erupted, and he seemed to be taller, his hair was dyed with a layer of faint blue, and it was a little longer, if he let others stand here, he didn't look like a boy who was only ten years old just from the back.
Without waiting for the two to communicate, the giant eased Ling Qu's damage, and it launched the next attack with almost no pain, looking at the trajectory of the attack, Ling Qu first used his body to push away An Yao, who was difficult to move, and dodged again, Ling Qu pinched his right fist in the air, and the turquoise dragon pattern flower climbed up, bringing him a bonus in strength.
Feeling the power, Ling Qu stepped on the air and quickly dived downward, and the spirit ring spread out in the air like wings, unlike the first soul skill, this time it was obtained by defeating the free beast and reaching level 20
Cloud Foot, that is, through the extreme strengthening of the leg muscles and strength to achieve a kick technique beyond ordinary people, if you use this skill, whether it is a high jump, a jump in the air, or a foot force that can break steel.
Although Ling Qu's strength was still slightly weak, with the addition of items such as soul bones and blue Dou Kai, it was more than enough to deal with the giant in front of him.
Ling Qu first struck the giant with his fist wrapped in dragon pattern flowers, although the giant was quite nimble, and easily dodged the attack with just one twist, Ling Qu's right leg had already followed in front of the giant's skull.
Due to the slow movement of the huge body, this blow, the giant could not dodge, and ate a cloud foot, and with a bang, the whole stone statue fell to the ground, but Ling Qu on the other side landed safely without giving it a chance to breathe, and it was a series of attacks, and the stone that built the giant's body cracked, and as the attack crack became bigger and bigger, it finally broke apart, and the giant had no life.
The man returned to the village, and a man dressed like the hunter approached.
"I just got the news that the No. 4 statue has also collapsed. After waiting for a while, seeing that he did not speak, the man continued, "Is it still alive?" ”
"I released Number Four, and there are no anomalies there. Then he asked rhetorically, "Maybe someone knows the secret, but that's not the point, the point is, those soul beasts, can you read them?"
"They are sea soul beasts that ran in, and they were hit by the waves. ”
"That's right...... The gust of wind was not a natural problem, and I always felt that the bridge between us and the outside world was unconsciously and passively built. ”
The man took off his mask and carried the light on his back, so that he could not see his face clearly.
"We are not at peace here, internal and external troubles. ”
Plants dance and wail in the wind......
